	2.7	 	“Code” means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
	 
	2.8	 	“Compensation” has the meaning specified in Section 3.01 of the Adoption Agreement.
	 
	2.9	 	“Director” means a member of the Board who is not an executive employee of the Plan Sponsor.
	 
	2.10	 	“Disabled” means a determination by the Administrator that the Participant is either (a)
unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable
physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or can be expected to
last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months, or (b) is, by reason of any medically
determinable physical or mental impairment which can be

2-1

 

	 	 	expected to result in death or last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months,
receiving income replacement benefits for a period of not less than 3 months under an
accident and health plan covering employees of the Employer employing the Participant. A
Participant will be considered Disabled if he is determined to be totally disabled by the
Social Security Administration or the Railroad Retirement Board.

	 	 	All determinations of whether a Participant is Disabled will be made in accordance with
Code Section 409A(a)(2)(C) and the final regulations thereunder.
	 
	2.11	 	“Employer” means the Plan Sponsor and any other entity which is authorized by the Plan
Sponsor to participate in and, in fact, does adopt the Plan.
	 
	2.12	 	“ERISA” means the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.
	 
	2.13	 	“Identification Date” means the date as of which Specified Employees are determined which is
specified in Section 1.06 of the Adoption Agreement.
	 
	2.14	 	“Participant” means a Director who commences participation in the Plan in accordance with
Article 3.
	 
	2.15	 	“Plan” means the unfunded plan of deferred compensation set forth herein, including the
Adoption Agreement and any trust agreement, as adopted by the Plan Sponsor and as amended from
time to time.
	 
	2.16	 	“Plan Sponsor” means the entity identified in Section 1.03 of the Adoption Agreement.
	 
	2.17	 	“Plan Year” means the period identified in Section 1.02 of the Adoption Agreement.
	 
	2.18	 	“Related Employer” means the Employer and (a) any corporation that is a member of a
controlled group of corporations as defined in Code Section 414(b) that includes the Employer
and (b) any trade or business that is under common control as defined in Code Section 414(c)
that includes the Employer, as determined in accordance with Reg. Sec. 1.409A-1(g).
	 
	2.19	 	“Retirement” has the meaning specified in 6.01(f) of the Adoption Agreement.
	 
	2.20	 	“Separation from Service” means the date that the Participant dies, retires or otherwise has
a termination of employment with respect to all entities comprising the Related Employer. A
Separation from Service

2-2

 

	 	 	does not occur if the Participant is on military leave, sick leave or other bona fide leave
of absence if the period of leave does not exceed 6 months or such longer period during
which the Participant’s right to re-employment is provided by statute or contract. A leave
of absence constitutes a bona fide leave of absence only if there is a reasonable
expectation that the Participant will return to perform services for the Related Employer.
If the period of leave exceeds 6 months and the Participant’s right to re-employment is not
provided either by statute or contract, a Separation from Service will be deemed to have
occurred on the first day following the 6-month period. If the period of leave is due to
any medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in
death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 6 months, where
the impairment causes the Participant to be unable to perform the duties of his position of
employment or any substantially similar position of employment, a 29-month period of
absence shall be substituted for the 6-month period.

	 	 	Whether a termination of employment has occurred is based on whether the facts and
circumstances indicate that the Related Employer and the Participant reasonably anticipated
that no further services would be performed after a certain date or that the level of bona
fide services the Participant would perform after such date (whether as an employee or as
an independent contractor) would permanently decrease to no more than 20% of the average
level of bona fide services performed (whether as an employee or an independent contractor)
over the immediately preceding 36-month period (or the full period of services to the
Related Employer if the employee has been providing services to the Related Employer for
less than 36 months).
	 
	 	 	An independent contractor is considered to have experienced a Separation from Service with
the Related Employer upon the expiration of the contract (or, in the case of more than one
contract all contracts) under which services are performed for the Related Employer if the
expiration constitutes a good-faith and complete termination of the contractual
relationship.
	 
	 	 	If a Participant provides services as both an employee and an independent contractor of the
Related Employer, the Participant must separate from service both as an employee and as an
independent contractor to be treated as having incurred a Separation from Service. If a
Participant ceases providing services as an independent contractor and begins providing
services as an employee, or ceases providing services as an employee and begins providing
services as an independent contractor, the Participant will not be considered to have
experienced a Separation from Service until the Participant has ceased providing services
in both capacities.

2-3

 

	 	 	If a Participant provides services both as an employee and as a member of the board of
directors of a corporate Related Employer (or an analogous position with respect to a
noncorporate Related Employer), the services provided as a director are not taken into
account in determining whether the Participant has incurred a Separation from Service as an
employee for purposes of a nonqualified deferred compensation plan in which the Participant
participates as an employee that is not aggregated under Code Section 409A with any plan in
which the Participant participates as a director.
	 
	 	 	If a Participant provides services both as an employee and as a member of board of
directors of a corporate related Employer (or an analogous position with respect to a
noncorporate Related Employer), the services provided as an employee are not taken into
account in determining whether the Participant has experienced a Separation from Service as
a director for purposes of a nonqualified deferred compensation plan in which the
Participant participates as a director that is not aggregated under Code Section 409A with
any plan in which the Participant participates as an employee.
	 
	 	 	For purposes of this Section 2.20, the term Related Employer shall have the meaning set
forth in Section 2.18, except that (i) “at least 50%” shall be substituted for “at least
80%” where the latter appears in Code Sections 1563(a)(1), (2), and (3) for purposes of
determining a controlled group of corporations under Code Section 414(b), and (ii) “at
least 50%” shall be substituted for “at least 80%” where the latter appears in Reg. Sec.
1.414(c)-2 for purposes of determining trades or businesses (whether or not incorporated)
that are under common control for purposes of Code Section 414(c).
	 
	 	 	All determinations of whether a Separation from Service has occurred will be made in
accordance with Code Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(i) and the final regulations thereunder.
	 
	2.21	 	“Specified Employee” means an employee who satisfies the conditions set forth in Section 9.6.
	 
	2.22	 	“Unforeseeable Emergency” means a severe financial hardship of the Participant resulting from
an illness or accident of the Participant, the Participant’s spouse, or the Participant’s
dependent (as defined in Code Section 152, without regard to Code Section 152(b)(1), (b)(2)
and (d)(1)(B); loss of the Participant’s property due to casualty; or other similar
extraordinary and unforeseeable circumstances arising as a result of events beyond the control
of the Participant.

2-4

 

	 	 	All determinations of whether an Unforeseeable Emergency has occurred will be made in
accordance with Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(ii) and the final regulations thereunder.
	 
	2.23	 	“Valuation Date” means each business day of the Plan Year.

2-5

 

ARTICLE 3 — PARTICIPATION

	3.1	 	Participation. The Participants in the Plan shall be those Directors who satisfy the
requirements of Section 2.01 of the Adoption Agreement.
	 
	3.2	 	Termination of Participation. The Administrator may terminate a Participant’s participation
in the Plan in a manner consistent with Code Section 409A.

3-1

 

ARTICLE 4 — PARTICIPANT ELECTIONS

	4.1	 	Deferral Form. If permitted by the Plan Sponsor in accordance with Section 4.01 of the
Adoption Agreement, each Director may elect to defer his Compensation within the meaning of
Section 3.01 of the Adoption Agreement by executing in writing or electronically, a deferral
form in accordance with rules and procedures established by the Administrator, the provisions
of this Article 4, and Code Section 409A(a)(4)(B) and the final regulations thereunder.
	 
	 	 	A new deferral form must be timely executed for each Plan Year during which the Director
desires to defer Compensation. A Director who does not timely execute a deferral form
shall be deemed to have elected zero deferrals of Compensation for such Plan Year.
	 
	 	 	A deferral form may be changed or revoked during the period specified by the Administrator.
Except as provided in Section 9.3 or in Section 4.01(c) of the Adoption Agreement, a
deferral form becomes irrevocable at the close of the specified period.
	 
	4.2	 	Amount of Deferral. A Director may elect to defer Compensation in any amount permitted by
Section 4.01(a) of the Adoption Agreement.
	 
	4.3	 	Timing of Election to Defer. Each Director who desires to defer Compensation otherwise
payable during a Plan Year must execute a deferral form within the period preceding the Plan
Year specified by the Administrator. In addition, if the Compensation qualifies as ‘fiscal
year compensation’ within the meaning of Reg. Sec. 1.409A -2(a)(6), the deferral form may be
made not later than the end of the Employer’s taxable year immediately preceding the first
taxable year of the Employer in which any services are performed for which such Compensation
is payable.
	 
	 	 	Except as otherwise provided below, a Director who is designated as eligible to participate
during a Plan Year may elect to defer Compensation otherwise payable during the remainder
of such Plan Year in accordance with the rules of this Section 4.3 by executing a deferral
form within the 30-day period beginning on the date the Director is designated as eligible,
if permitted by Section 2.01 of the Adoption Agreement. The rules of this paragraph shall
not apply unless the Director can be treated as initially eligible in accordance with Reg.
Sec. 1.409A-2(a)(7).

4-1

 

	4.4	 	Election of Payment Schedule and Form of Payment.
	 
	 	 	All elections of a payment schedule and a form of payment will be made in accordance with
rules and procedures established by the Administrator and the provisions of this Section
4.4, as determined in accordance with Reg. Sec. 1.409A-2(a).

(a) If the Plan Sponsor has elected to permit annual distribution elections in accordance
with Section 6.01(h) of the Adoption Agreement the following rules apply. At the time a
Director completes a deferral form, the Director must irrevocably elect (i) a distribution
event (which includes a specified time) and form of payment for the Compensation subject to
the deferral form that may be credited to the Participant’s Account during the Plan Year
from among the options the Plan Sponsor has made available for this purpose and which are
specified in 6.01(b) of the Adoption Agreement, and (ii) the time of commencement of
distributions from the options the Plan Sponsor has made available for this purpose which
are specified in 6.01(a) of the Adoption Agreement. If a Director fails to elect a
distribution event, he shall be deemed to have elected Separation from Service as the
distribution event. If a Director fails to elect a form of payment, he shall be deemed to
have elected a lump sum as the form of payment. If a Director fails to elect a time of
commencement, he shall be deemed to have elected the last business day of the month in
which occurs the 60th day following Separation from Service. Subject to Article
9, distributions shall be made to a Director upon the earliest to occur of the events
specified in 6.01(a) of the Adoption Agreement.

(b) If the Plan Sponsor has elected not to permit annual distribution elections in
accordance with Section 6.01(h) of the Adoption Agreement the following rules apply. At
the time a Director first completes a deferral form, the Director must irrevocably elect a
distribution event (which includes a specified time) and a form of payment for amounts
credited to his Account from among the options the Plan Sponsor has made available for this
purpose and which are specified in Section 6.01(b) of the Adoption Agreement. If a
Director fails to elect a distribution event, he shall be deemed to have elected Separation
from Service in the distribution event. If he fails to elect a form of payment, he shall
be deemed to have elected a lump sum as the form of payment.

4-2

 

ARTICLE 5 — EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTIONS

	 	 	Employer contributions are not permitted under the Plan.

5-1

 

ARTICLE 6 — ACCOUNTS AND CREDITS

	6.1	 	Establishment of Account. For accounting and computational purposes only, the Administrator
will establish and maintain an Account on behalf of each Participant which will reflect the
credits made pursuant to Section 6.2, distributions or withdrawals, along with the earnings,
expenses, gains and losses allocated thereto, attributable to the hypothetical investments
made with the amounts in the Account as provided in Article 7. The Administrator will
establish and maintain such other records and accounts, as it decides in its discretion to be
reasonably required or appropriate to discharge its duties under the Plan.
	 
	6.2	 	Credits to Account. A Participant’s Account will be credited for each Plan Year with the
amount of his elective deferrals under Section 4.1 at the time the Administrator determines in
its absolute discretion.
	 
	6.3	 	Sub-Accounts. The Administrator will establish and maintain such other accounts or
sub-accounts as the Administrator deems necessary or desirable in order to effectuate the purposes
of Sections 6.1 and 6.2 and Articles 7 and 9.

6-1

 

ARTICLE 7 — INVESTMENT OF CONTRIBUTIONS

	7.1	 	Investment Options. The amount credited to each Account shall be treated as invested in the
investment options designated for this purpose by the Administrator.
	 
	7.2	 	Adjustment of Accounts. The amount credited to each Account shall be adjusted for
hypothetical investment earnings, expenses, gains or losses in an amount equal to the
earnings, expenses, gains or losses attributable to the investment options selected by the
party designated in Section 9.01 of the Adoption Agreement from among the investment options
provided in Section 7.1. If permitted by Section 9.01 of the Adoption Agreement, a
Participant (or the Participant’s Beneficiary after the death of the Participant) may, in
accordance with rules and procedures established by the Administrator, select the investments
from among the options provided in Section 7.1 to be used for the purpose of calculating
future hypothetical investment adjustments to the Account or to future credits to the Account
under Section 6.2 effective as the Valuation Date coincident with or next following notice to
the Administrator. Each Account shall be adjusted as of each Valuation Date to reflect: (a)
the hypothetical earnings, expenses, gains and losses described above; (b) amounts credited
pursuant to Section 6.2; and (c) distributions or withdrawals. In addition, each Account may
be adjusted for its allocable share of the hypothetical costs and expenses associated with the
maintenance of the hypothetical investments provided in Section 7.1.

7-1

 

ARTICLE 8 — RIGHT TO BENEFITS

	8.1	 	Vesting. Except as otherwise provided in Article 13.1, 13.2 and 13.3, a Participant, at all
times, has the 100% nonforfeitable interest in the amounts credited to his Account
attributable to his elective deferrals made in accordance with Section 4.1.
	 
	8.2	 	Death. The Plan Sponsor may elect to permit distributions upon Death in accordance with
Section 6.01(b) or Section 6.01(d) of the Adoption Agreement. If the Plan Sponsor does not
elect to permit distributions upon death in accordance with Section 6.01(b) or Section 6.01(d)
of the Adoption Agreement, the vested amount credited to the Participant’s Account will be
paid in accordance with the provisions of Article 9.
	 
	 	 	A Participant may designate a Beneficiary or Beneficiaries, or change any prior designation
of Beneficiary or Beneficiaries in accordance with rules and procedures established by the
Administrator.
	 
	 	 	A copy of the death notice or other sufficient documentation must be filed with and
approved by the Administrator. If upon the death of the Participant there is, in the
opinion of the Administrator, no designated Beneficiary for part or all of the
Participant’s vested Account, such amount will be paid to his estate (such estate shall be
deemed to be the Beneficiary for purposes of the Plan) in accordance with the provisions of
Article 9.
	 
	8.3	 	Disability. The Plan Sponsor may elect to permit distributions upon Disability in accordance
with Section 6.01(b) or Section 6.01(d) of the Adoption Agreement, the determination of
whether a Participant has incurred a Disability shall be made by the Administrator in its sole
discretion.

8-1

 

ARTICLE 9 — DISTRIBUTION OF BENEFITS

	9.1	 	Amount of Benefits. The vested amount credited to a Participant’s Account as determined
under Articles 6, 7 and 8 shall determine and constitute the basis for the value of benefits
payable to the Participant under the Plan.
	 
	9.2	 	Method and Timing of Distributions. Except as otherwise provided in this Article 9 and
Article 10, distributions under the Plan shall be made in accordance with the elections made
or deemed made by the Participant under Article 4. Subject to the provisions of Section 9.6
requiring a 6 month delay for certain distributions to Specified Employees, distributions
following a payment event shall commence at the time specified in Section 6.01(a) of the
Adoption Agreement. If permitted by Section 6.01(g) of the Adoption Agreement, a Participant
may irrevocably elect, at least 12 months before a scheduled distribution event, to delay the
payment date for a minimum period of 60 months from the originally scheduled date of payment,
provided that, such irrevocable election will be effective no earlier than 12 months after it
is made, in accordance with Code Section 409A(a)(4)(C) and the final regulations thereunder.
The distribution election change must be made in accordance with procedures and rules
established by the Administrator. The Participant may, at the same time the date of payment
is deferred, change the form of payment but such change in the form of payment may not effect
an acceleration of payment in violation of Code Section 409A(a)(3) or the provisions of Reg.
Sec. 1.409A-2(b). For purposes of this Section 9.2, a series of installment payments is
always treated as a single payment and not as a series of separate payments.
	 
	9.3	 	Unforeseeable Emergency. A Participant may request a distribution due to an Unforeseeable
Emergency if the Plan Sponsor has elected to permit Unforeseeable Emergency withdrawals under
Section 8.01(a) of the Adoption Agreement. The request must be in writing and must be
submitted to the Administrator along with evidence that the circumstances constitute an
Unforeseeable Emergency. The Administrator has the discretion to require whatever evidence it
deems necessary to determine whether a distribution is warranted. Whether a Participant has
incurred an Unforeseeable Emergency will be determined by the Administrator on the basis of
the relevant facts and circumstances in its sole discretion, but, in no event, will a
distribution on account of an Unforeseeable Emergency be made to the extent the Unforeseeable
Emergency is or may be relieved: (a) through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or
otherwise, (b) by liquidation of the Participant’s assets to the extent such liquidation would
not itself cause severe financial hardship, or (c) by

9-1

 

	 	 	cessation of deferrals under the Plan. A distribution due to an Unforeseeable Emergency
must be limited to the amount reasonably necessary to satisfy the emergency need and may
include any amounts necessary to pay any federal, state, local or foreign income taxes or
penalties reasonably anticipated to result from the distribution. The distribution will be
made in the form of a single lump sum cash payment. The distribution may be made from any
nonqualified plan in which the Participant participates that provides for payment upon an
Unforeseeable Emergency, provided that the nonqualified plan under which payment is to be
made was designated at the time of payment. If permitted by Section 8.01(b) of the
Adoption Agreement, a Participant’s deferral elections for the remainder of the Plan Year
will not be cancelled upon a withdrawal due to Unforeseeable Emergency. If the payment of
all or any portion of the Participant’s vested Account is being delayed in accordance with
Section 9.6 at the time he experiences an Unforeseeable Emergency, the amount being delayed
shall not be subject to the provisions of this Section 9.3 until the expiration of the
6-month period of delay required by Section 9.6.

	9.4	 	Payment Election Overrides. If the Plan Sponsor has elected one or more payment election
overrides in accordance with Section 6.01(d) of the Adoption Agreement, the following
provisions apply. Upon the occurrence of the first event selected by the Plan Sponsor, the
remaining vested amount credited to the Participant’s Account shall be paid in the form
designated to the Participant or his Beneficiary regardless of whether the Participant had
made different elections of time and /or form of payment or whether the Participant was
receiving installment payments at the time of the event.
	 
	9.5	 	Cashouts Of Amounts Not Exceeding Stated Limit. If the vested amount credited to the
Participant’s Account does not exceed the limit established for this purpose by the Plan
Sponsor in Section 6.01(e) of the Adoption Agreement at the time he incurs a Separation from
Service for any reason, the Employer shall distribute such amount to the Participant at the
time specified in Section 6.01(a)(i)(B) of the Adoption Agreement in a single lump sum cash
payment following such Separation from Service regardless of whether the Participant had made
different elections of time or form of payment as to the vested amount credited to his Account
or whether the Participant was receiving installments at the time of such termination. The
cashout of any amounts described in Section 1.3 shall be determined in accordance with
Appendix B of the Adoption Agreement.
	 
	9.6	 	Required Delay in Payment to Specified Employees. Except as otherwise provided in this
Section 9.6, a distribution made on account of Separation from Service (or Retirement, if
applicable) to a Participant who is a Specified Employee as of the date of his Separation from
Service (or
Retirement, if applicable) shall not be made before the date which is 6

	 	 	months after the
date of Separation from Service (or Retirement, if applicable) (the “6 month delay”). If
the distribution of any amount is delayed as a result of the previous sentence, then each
payment to which the Participant is otherwise entitled upon a Separation from Service shall
be delayed by 6 months. Any remaining payments due under the Plan shall be paid as
otherwise provided in the Plan.

(a) A Participant is treated as a Specified Employee if (i) he is employed by a Related
Employer any of whose stock is publicly traded on an established securities market or
otherwise, and (ii) he satisfies the requirements of Code Section 416(i)(1)(A)(i), (ii) or
(iii), determined without regard to Code Section 416(i)(5), at any time during the 12-month
period ending on the Identification Date, as determined in accordance with Code Section
409A(a)(2)(B)(i) and the final regulations thereunder.

(b) A Participant who meets the requirements of paragraph (a) on an Identification Date
shall be treated as a Specified Employee for the 12-month period beginning on the first day
of the 4th month following the Identification Date. The Identification Date and the
effective date of the delay in distributions shall be determined in accordance with Section
1.06 of the Adoption Agreement.

(c) The 6 month delay does not apply to payments under the circumstances described in Reg.
Sec. 1.409A-3(j)(4)(ii), (j)(4)(iii), or (j)(4)(vi), or to payments that occur after the
death of the Participant. If the payment of all or any portion of the Participant’s vested
Account is being delayed in accordance with this Section 9.6 at the time he incurs a
Disability which would otherwise require a distribution under the terms of the Plan, no
amount shall be paid until the expiration of the 6-month period of delay required by this
Section 9.6.

	9.7	 	Change in Control. If the Plan Sponsor has elected to permit distributions upon a Change in
Control, the following provisions shall apply. A distribution made upon a Change in Control
will be made at the time specified in Section 6.01(a) of the Adoption Agreement in the form
elected by the Participant in accordance with the procedures described in Article 4.
Alternatively, if the Plan Sponsor has elected in accordance with Section 11.02 of the
Adoption Agreement to require distributions upon a Change in Control, the Participant’s
remaining vested Account shall be paid to the Participant or the Participant’s Beneficiary at
the time specified in Section 6.01(a) of the Adoption Agreement as a single lump sum payment.
A Change in Control, for purposes of the Plan, will occur upon a change in the ownership of
the Plan Sponsor, a change in the effective control of the Plan Sponsor or a change in the
ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Plan Sponsor, as determined in
accordance with Code Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(v) and the final regulations thereunder, but only
if elected by the Plan Sponsor in Section 11.03 of the Adoption

9-3

 

	 	 	Agreement. The Plan Sponsor,
for this purpose, includes any corporation
identified in this Section 9.7. All distributions made in accordance with this Section 9.7
are subject to the provisions of Section 9.6.

	 	 	If a Participant continues to make deferrals in accordance with Article 4 after he has
received a distribution due to a Change in Control, the residual amount payable to the
Participant shall be paid at the time and in the form specified in the elections he makes
in accordance with Article 4 or upon his death or Disability as provided in Article 8.
	 
	 	 	Whether a Change in Control has occurred will be determined by the Administrator in
accordance with the rules and definitions set forth in this Section 9.7.

	 	(a)	 	Relevant Corporations. To constitute a Change in Control for purposes of the
Plan, the event must relate to (i) the corporation for whom the Participant is
performing services at the time of the Change in Control, (ii) the corporation that is
liable for the payment of the Participant’s benefits under the Plan (or all
corporations liable if more than one corporation is liable) but only if either the
deferred compensation is attributable to the performance of services by the
Participant for such corporation (or corporations) or there is a bona fide business
purpose for such corporation (or corporations) to be liable for such payment and, in
either case, no significant purpose of making such corporation (or corporations)
liable for such payment is the avoidance of federal income tax, or (iii) a corporation
that is a majority shareholder of a corporation identified in (i) or (ii), or any
corporation in a chain of corporations in which each corporation is a majority
shareholder of another corporation in the chain, ending in a corporation identified in
(i) or (ii). A majority shareholder is defined as a shareholder owning more than 50%
of the total fair market value and voting power of such corporation.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Stock Ownership. Code Section 318(a) applies for purposes of determining
stock ownership. Stock underlying a vested option is considered owned by the
individual who owns the vested option (and the stock underlying an unvested option is
not considered owned by the individual who holds the unvested option). If, however, a
vested option is exercisable for stock that is not substantially vested (as defined by
Treasury Regulation Section 1.83-3(b) and (j)) the stock underlying the option is not
treated as owned by the individual who holds the option.
	 
	 	(c)	 	Change in the Ownership of a Corporation. A change in the ownership of a
corporation occurs on the date that any one person or more than one person acting as a
group, acquires ownership of

9-4

 

	 	 	 	stock of the corporation that, together with stock held
by such person
or group, constitutes more than 50% of the total fair market value or total voting
power of the stock of such corporation. If any one person or more than one person
acting as a group is considered to own more than 50% of the total fair market value
or total voting power of the stock of a corporation, the acquisition of additional
stock by the same person or persons is not considered to cause a change in the
ownership of the corporation (or to cause a change in the effective control of the
corporation as discussed below in Section 9.7(d)). An increase in the percentage of
stock owned by any one person, or persons acting as a group, as a result of a
transaction in which the corporation acquires its stock in exchange for property
will be treated as an acquisition of stock. Section 9.7(c) applies only when there
is a transfer of stock of a corporation (or issuance of stock of a corporation) and
stock in such corporation remains outstanding after the transaction. For purposes
of this Section 9.7(c), persons will not be considered to be acting as a group
solely because they purchase or own stock of the same corporation at the same time
or as a result of the same public offering. Persons will, however, be considered to
be acting as a group if they are owners of a corporation that enters into a merger,
consolidation, purchase or acquisition of stock, or similar business transaction
with the corporation. If a person, including an entity, owns stock in both
corporations that enter into a merger, consolidation, purchase or acquisition of
stock, or similar transaction, such shareholder is considered to be acting as a
group with other shareholders only with respect to the ownership in that corporation
before the transaction giving rise to the change and not with respect to the
ownership interest in the other corporation.

	 	(d)	 	Change in the effective control of a corporation. A change in the effective
control of a corporation occurs on the date that either (i) any one person, or more
than one person acting as a group, acquires (or has acquired during the 12-month
period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such person or persons)
ownership of stock of the corporation possessing 30% or more of the total voting power
of the stock of such corporation, or (ii) a majority of members of the corporation’s
board of directors is replaced during any 12-month period by directors whose
appointment or election is not endorsed by a majority of the members of the
corporation’s board of directors prior to the date of the appointment or election,
provided that for purposes of this paragraph (ii), the term corporation refers solely
to the relevant corporation identified in Section 9.7(a) for which no other
corporation is a majority shareholder for purposes of Section 9.7(a). In the absence
of an event described in Section 9.7(d)(i) or (ii), a change in the effective control
of a corporation will not have occurred. A change in effective control may also occur
in

9-5

 

	 	 	 	any transaction in which either of the two corporations involved in the
transaction has a change in the ownership of such corporation as described in
Section 9.7(c) or a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets
of such corporation as described in Section 9.7(e). If any one person, or more than
one person acting as a group, is considered to effectively control a corporation
within the meaning of this Section 9.7(d), the acquisition of additional control of
the corporation by the same person or persons is not considered to cause a change in
the effective control of the corporation or to cause a change in the ownership of
the corporation within the meaning of Section 9.7(c). For purposes of this Section
9.7(d), persons will or will not be considered to be acting as a group in accordance
with rules similar to those set forth in Section 9.7(c).

	 	(e)	 	Change in the ownership of a substantial portion of a corporation’s assets.
A change in the ownership of a substantial portion of a corporation’s assets occurs on
the date that any one person, or more than one person acting as a group (as determined
in accordance with rules similar to those set forth in Section 9.7(d)), acquires (or
has acquired during the 12-month period ending on the date of the most recent
acquisition by such person or persons) assets from the corporation that have a total
gross fair market value equal to or more than 40% of the total gross fair market value
of all of the assets of the corporation immediately prior to such acquisition or
acquisitions. For this purpose, gross fair market value means the value of the assets
of the corporation of the value of the assets being disposed of determined without
regard to any liabilities associated with such assets. There is no Change in Control
event under this Section 9.7(e) when there is a transfer to an entity that is
controlled by the shareholders of the transferring corporation immediately after the
transfer. A transfer of assets by a corporation is not treated as a change in
ownership of such assets if the assets are transferred to (i) a shareholder of the
corporation (immediately before the asset transfer) in exchange for or with respect to
its stock, (ii) an entity, 50% or more of the total value or voting power of which is
owned, directly or indirectly, by the corporation, (iii) a person, or more than one
person acting as a group, that owns, directly or indirectly, 50% or more of the total
value or voting power of all the outstanding stock of the corporation, or (iv) an
entity, at least 50% of the total value or voting power of which is owned, directly or
indirectly, by a person described in Section 9.7(e)(iii). For purposes of the
foregoing, and except as otherwise provided, a person’s status is determined
immediately after the transfer of assets. For purposes of this Section 9.7(e),
persons will not be considered to be acting as a group solely because they purchase
assets of the same corporation at the same time. Persons will, however, be considered
to be acting as a group if they are owners of a corporation that enters into a

9-6

 

	 	 	 	merger,
consolidation, purchase or acquisition of assets, or similar
business transaction with the corporation. If a person, including an entity
shareholder, owns stock in both corporations that enter into a merger,
consolidation, purchase or acquisition of assets, or similar transaction, such
shareholder is considered to be acting as a group with other shareholders in a
corporation only to the extent of the ownership in that corporation before the
transaction giving rise to the change and not with respect to the ownership interest
in the other corporation.

	9.8	 	Permissible Delays in Payment. Distributions may be delayed beyond the date payment would
otherwise occur in accordance with the provisions of Articles 8 and 9 in any of the following
circumstances as long as the Employer treats all payments to similarly situated Participants
on a reasonably consistent basis, as determined in accordance with Reg. Sec. 1.409A-2(b)(7).

	 	(a)	 	The Employer may delay payment if it reasonably anticipates that its
deduction with respect to such payment would be limited or eliminated by the
application of Code Section 162(m). Payment must be made during the Participant’s
first taxable year in which the Employer reasonably anticipates, or should reasonably
anticipate, that if the payment is made during such year the deduction of such payment
will not be barred by the application of Code Section 162(m) or during the period
beginning with the Participant’s Separation from Service and ending on the later of
the last day of the Employer’s taxable year in which the Participant separates from
service or the 15th day of the third month following the Participant’s Separation from
Service. If a scheduled payment to a Participant is delayed in accordance with this
Section 9.8(a), all scheduled payments to the Participant that could be delayed in
accordance with this Section 9.8(a) will also be delayed. Where the payment is
delayed to a date on or after the Participant’s Separation from Service, the payment
will be considered a payment upon a Separation from Service, subject to the provisions
of Section 9.6.
	 
	 	(b)	 	The Employer may also delay payment if it reasonably anticipates that the
making of the payment will violate federal securities laws or other applicable laws
provided payment is made at the earliest date on which the Employer reasonably
anticipates that the making of the payment will not cause such violation.
	 
	 	(c)	 	The Employer reserves the right to amend the Plan to provide for a delay in
payment upon such other events and conditions as the Secretary of the Treasury may
prescribe in generally applicable guidance published in the Internal Revenue Bulletin.

ARTICLE 10 — AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION

	10.1	 	Amendment by Plan Sponsor. The Plan Sponsor reserves the right to amend the Plan (for itself
and each Employer) through action of its Board of Directors. No amendment can directly or
indirectly deprive any current or former Participant or Beneficiary of all or any portion of
his Account which had accrued prior to the amendment.
	 
	10.2	 	Plan Termination Following Change in Control or Corporate Dissolution.
	 
	 	 	If so elected by the Plan Sponsor in 11.01 of the Adoption Agreement:

	 	(a)	 	The Related Employer reserves the right to terminate the Plan in accordance
with Reg. Sec. 1.409A-3(j)(4)(ix)(B), pursuant to the Related Employer’s termination
and liquidation of the Plan pursuant to irrevocable action taken by the Related
Employer within the 30 days preceding or the 12 months following a Change in Control.
This Section 10.2(a) will only apply to a payment under a plan if all agreements,
methods, programs and other arrangements sponsored by the Related Employer immediately
after the Change in Control with respect to which deferrals of compensation are
treated as having been deferred under a single plan under Reg. Sec. 1.409A-1(c)(2) are
terminated and liquidated with respect to each participant that experienced the Change
in Control, so that under the terms of the termination and liquidation all such
participants are required to receive all amounts of compensation deferred under the
terminated agreements, methods, programs, and other arrangements within 12 months of
the date the Related Employer irrevocably takes all necessary action to terminate and
liquidate the agreements, methods, programs, and other arrangements. Solely for
purposes of this Section 10.2(a), where the Change in Control results from an asset
purchase transaction, the applicable Related Employer with the discretion to liquidate
and terminate the agreements, methods, programs, and other arrangements is the Related
Employer that is primarily liable immediately after the transaction for the payment of
the deferred compensation.
	 
	 	(b)	 	In addition, the Related Employer reserves the right to terminate the Plan,
in accordance with Reg. Sec. 1.409A-3(j)(4)(ix)(A), pursuant to the Related Employer’s
termination and liquidation of the Plan within 12 months of a corporate dissolution
taxed under Code Section 331 or with the approval of a bankruptcy court pursuant to 11
U. S. C. Section 503(b)(1)(A), provided that amounts

10-1

 

	 	 	 	deferred under the Plan are included in the gross incomes of Participants in the
latest of (a) the calendar year in which the Plan termination and liquidation
occurs, (b) the first calendar year in which the amount is no longer subject to a
substantial risk of forfeiture, or (c) the first calendar year in which payment is
administratively practicable (or, if earlier, the taxable year in which the amount
is actually or constructively received).

	10.3	 	Other Plan Terminations. The Related Employer retains the discretion to terminate the Plan,
in accordance with Reg. Sec. 1.409A-3(j)(4)(ix)(C), pursuant to the Related Employer’s
termination and liquidation of the Plan if (a) the Related Employer terminates and liquidates
all agreements, methods, programs, and other arrangements sponsored by the Related Employer
that would be aggregated with any terminated and liquidated agreements, methods, programs, and
other arrangements under Reg. Sec. 1.409A-1(c) if the same Related Employer had deferrals of
compensation under all of the agreements, methods, programs, and other arrangements that are
terminated and liquidated, (b) no payments in liquidation of the Plan are made within 12
months of the date the Related Employer takes all necessary action to irrevocably terminate
and liquidate the Plan other than payments that would be payable under the terms of the Plan
if the action to terminate and liquidate the Plan had not occurred, (c) all payments are made
within 24 months of the date the Related Employer takes all necessary action to irrevocably
terminate and liquidate the Plan, (d) the Related Employer does not adopt a new plan that
would be aggregated with any terminated and liquidated plan under Reg. Sec. 1.409A-1(c) if the
same participant participated in both plans, at any time within the 3-year period following
the date the Related Employer takes all necessary action to irrevocably terminate and
liquidated the Plan, and (e) the termination and liquidation does not occur proximate to a
downturn in the financial health of the Related Employer. The Plan Sponsor also reserves the
right to amend the Plan to provide that termination of the Plan will occur under such
conditions and events as may be prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury in generally
applicable guidance published in the Internal Revenue Bulletin.
	 
	10.4	 	Code Section 409A Limitation. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, in
no event shall any amendment or termination of the Plan be effective unless one of the
following is true: (i) the amendment or termination does not cause an acceleration or
impermissible delay in payment of benefits under Code Section 409A, (ii) any acceleration or
delay in payment is covered by an exception to the prohibition on accelerations or delays
under Code Section 409A, or (iii) the Plan Sponsor and the Participant acknowledge in writing
that the amendment or termination accelerates or delays the payment of benefits and is likely
to result in Code Section 409A penalties.

10-2

 

ARTICLE 11 — THE TRUST

	11.1	 	Establishment of Trust. The Plan Sponsor may but is not required to establish a trust to
hold amounts which the Plan Sponsor may contribute from time to time to correspond to some or
all amounts credited to Participants under Section 6.2. If the Plan Sponsor elects to
establish a trust in accordance with Section 10.01 of the Adoption Agreement, the provisions
of Sections 11.2 and 11.3 shall become operative.
	 
	11.2	 	Grantor Trust. Any trust established by the Plan Sponsor shall be between the Plan Sponsor
and a trustee pursuant to a separate written agreement under which assets are held,
administered and managed, subject to the claims of the Plan Sponsor’s creditors in the event
of the Plan Sponsor’s insolvency. The trust is intended to be treated as a grantor trust
under the Code, and the establishment of the trust shall not cause the Participant to realize
current income on amounts contributed thereto. The Plan Sponsor must notify the trustee in
the event of a bankruptcy or insolvency.
	 
	11.3	 	Investment of Trust Funds. Any amounts contributed to the trust by the Plan Sponsor shall be
invested by the trustee in accordance with the provisions of the trust and the instructions of
the Administrator. Trust investments need not reflect the hypothetical investments selected
by Participants under Section 7.1 for the purpose of adjusting Accounts and the earnings or
investment results of the trust need not affect the hypothetical investment adjustments to
Participant Accounts under the Plan.

11-1

 

ARTICLE 12 — PLAN ADMINISTRATION

	12.1	 	Discretionary Powers and Responsibilities of the Administrator. The Administrator has the
full discretionary power and the full responsibility to administer the Plan in all of its
details, subject, however, to the applicable requirements of ERISA. The Administrator’s
discretionary powers and responsibilities include, but are not limited to, the following:

	 	(a)	 	To make and enforce such rules and procedures as it deems necessary or proper
for the efficient administration of the Plan;
	 
	 	(b)	 	To interpret the Plan, its interpretation thereof to be final, except as
provided in Section 12.2, on all persons claiming benefits under the Plan;
	 
	 	(c)	 	To decide all questions concerning the Plan and the eligibility of any person
to participate in the Plan;
	 
	 	(d)	 	To administer the claims and review procedures specified in Section 12.2;
	 
	 	(e)	 	To compute the amount of benefits which will be payable to any Participant,
former Participant or Beneficiary in accordance with the provisions of the Plan;
	 
	 	(f)	 	To determine the person or persons to whom such benefits will be paid;
	 
	 	(g)	 	To authorize the payment of benefits;
	 
	 	(h)	 	To comply with the reporting and disclosure requirements of Part 1 of
Subtitle B of Title I of ERISA;
	 
	 	(i)	 	To appoint such agents (which may include officers and/or employees of the
Plan Sponsor), counsel, accountants, and consultants as may be required to assist in
administering the Plan;
	 
	 	(j)	 	By written instrument, to allocate and delegate its responsibilities,
including the formation of an Administrative Committee to administer the Plan.

Any decision or action of the Administrator in respect of any question arising out of or in
connection with the administration, interpretation and application of the Plan and the rules and
regulations promulgated hereunder shall be final,

12-1

 

conclusive and binding upon all persons having any interest in the Plan, unless found by a court of
competent jurisdiction to be an abuse of discretion.

	12.2	 	Claims and Review Procedures.

	 	(a)	 	Claims Procedure.
	 
	 	 	 	If any person believes he is being denied any rights or benefits under the Plan,
such person may file a claim in writing with the Administrator. If any such claim
is wholly or partially denied, the Administrator will notify such person of its
decision in writing. Such notification will contain (i) specific reasons for the
denial, (ii) specific reference to pertinent Plan provisions, (iii) a description
of any additional material or information necessary for such person to perfect such
claim and an explanation of why such material or information is necessary, and (iv)
a description of the Plan’s review procedures and the time limits applicable to
such procedures, including a statement of the person’s right to bring a civil
action following an adverse decision on review. Such notification will be given
within 90 days (45 days in the case of a claim regarding Disability) after the
claim is received by the Administrator. The Administrator may extend the period
for providing the notification by 90 days (30 days in the case of a claim regarding
Disability) if special circumstances require an extension of time for processing
the claim and if written notice of such extension and circumstance is given to such
person within the initial 90 day period (45 day period in the case of a claim
regarding Disability). If such notification is not given within such period, the
claim will be considered denied as of the last day of such period and such person
may request a review of his claim.

	 	(b)	 	Review Procedure.
	 
	 	 	 	Within 60 days (180 days in the case of a claim regarding Disability) after the
date on which a person receives a written notification of denial of claim (or, if
written notification is not provided, within 60 days (180 days in the case of a
claim regarding Disability) of the date denial is considered to have occurred),
such person (or his duly authorized representative) may (i) file a written request
with the Administrator for a review of his denied claim and of pertinent documents
and (ii) submit written issues and comments to the Administrator. The
Administrator will notify such person of its decision in writing. Such
notification will be written in a manner calculated to be understood by such person
and will contain specific reasons for the decision as well as specific references
to pertinent Plan provisions. The notification will explain that the person is
entitled to receive, upon request and free of charge,

12-2

 

	 	 	 	reasonable access to and copies of all pertinent documents and has the right to
bring a civil action following an adverse decision on review. The decision on
review will be made within 60 days (45 days in the case of a claim regarding
Disability). The Administrator may extend the period for making the decision on
review by 60 days (45 days in the case of a claim regarding Disability) if special
circumstances require an extension of time for processing the request such as an
election by the Administrator to hold a hearing, and if written notice of such
extension and circumstances is given to such person within the initial 60-day
period (45 days in the case of a claim regarding Disability). If the decision on
review is not made within such period, the claim will be considered denied.

	12.3	 	Plan Administrative Costs. All reasonable costs and expenses (including legal, accounting,
and employee communication fees) incurred by the Employer for the administration, management
or operation of the Plan may be deducted from the Accounts of the Participants as determined
by the Administrator.

12-3

 

ARTICLE 13 — MISCELLANEOUS

	13.1	 	Unsecured General Creditor of the Employer. Participants and their Beneficiaries, heirs,
successors and assigns shall have no legal or equitable rights, interests or claims in any
property or assets of the Employer. For purposes of the payment of benefits under the Plan,
any and all of the Employer’s assets shall be, and shall remain, the general, unpledged,
unrestricted assets of the Employer. Each Employer’s obligation under the Plan shall be
merely that of an unfunded and unsecured promise to pay money in the future.
	 
	13.2	 	Employer’s Liability. Each Employer’s liability for the payment of benefits under the Plan
shall be defined only by the Plan and by the deferral forms entered into between a Participant
and the Employer. An Employer shall have no obligation or liability to a Participant under
the Plan except as provided by the Plan and a deferral form or forms. An Employer shall have
no liability to Participants employed by other Employers.
	 
	13.3	 	Limitation of Rights. Neither the establishment of the Plan, nor any amendment thereof, nor
the creation of any fund or account, nor the payment of any benefits, will be construed as
giving to the Participant or any other person any legal or equitable right against the
Employer, the Plan or the Administrator, except as provided herein; and in no event will the
terms of employment or service of the Participant be modified or in any way affected hereby.
	 
	13.4	 	Anti-Assignment. Except as may be necessary to fulfill a qualified domestic relations order
within the meaning of ERISA Section 206(d)(3)(B)(i), none of the benefits or rights of a
Participant or any Beneficiary of a Participant shall be subject to the claim of any creditor.
In particular, to the fullest extent permitted by law, all such benefits and rights shall be
free from attachment, garnishment, or any other legal or equitable process available to any
creditor of the Participant and his Beneficiary. Neither the Participant nor his Beneficiary
shall have the right to alienate, anticipate, commute, pledge, encumber, or assign any of the
payments which he may expect to receive, contingently or otherwise, under the Plan, except the
right to designate a Beneficiary to receive death benefits provided hereunder.
Notwithstanding the preceding, the benefit payable from a Participant’s Account may be
reduced, at the discretion of the administrator, to satisfy any debt or liability to the
Employer; provided that such reduction does not result in a prohibited acceleration of
payments under Reg. Sec. 1.409A-3(j).
	 
	13.5	 	Facility of Payment. If the Administrator determines, on the basis of medical reports or
other evidence satisfactory to the Administrator, that the recipient of any benefit payments
under the Plan is incapable of handling his affairs by reason of minority, illness, infirmity
or other incapacity, the Administrator may

13-1

 

	 	 	direct the Employer to disburse such payments to a person or institution designated by a
court which has jurisdiction over such recipient or a person or institution otherwise
having the legal authority under State law for the care and control of such recipient. The
receipt by such person or institution of any such payments therefore, and any such payment
to the extent thereof, shall discharge the liability of the Employer, the Plan and the
Administrator for the payment of benefits hereunder to such recipient.

	13.6	 	Notices. Any notice or other communication to the Employer or Administrator in connection
with the Plan shall be deemed delivered in writing if addressed to the Plan Sponsor at the
address specified in Section 1.03 of the Adoption Agreement and if either actually delivered
at said address or, in the case of a letter, 5 business days shall have elapsed after the same
shall have been deposited in the United States mails, first-class postage prepaid and
registered or certified.
	 
	13.7	 	Tax Withholding. If the Employer concludes that tax is owing with respect to any deferral or
payment hereunder, the Employer shall withhold such amounts from any payments due the
Participant, as permitted by law, or otherwise make appropriate arrangements with the
Participant or his Beneficiary for satisfaction of such obligation. Tax, for purposes of this
Section 13.7 means any federal, state, local or any other governmental income tax, employment
or payroll tax, excise tax, or any other tax or assessment owing with respect to amounts
deferred, any earnings thereon, and any payments made to Participants under the Plan.
	 
	13.8	 	Indemnification. Each Employer shall indemnify and hold harmless each employee, officer, or
director of an Employer to whom is delegated duties, responsibilities, and authority with
respect to the Plan against all claims, liabilities, fines and penalties, and all expenses
reasonably incurred by or imposed upon him (including but not limited to reasonable attorney
fees) which arise as a result of his actions or failure to act in connection with the
operation and administration of the Plan to the extent lawfully allowable and to the extent
that such claim, liability, fine, penalty, or expense is not paid for by liability insurance
purchased or paid for by an Employer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Employer shall not
indemnify any person for any such amount incurred through any settlement or compromise of any
action unless the Employer consents in writing to such settlement or compromise.
Indemnification under this Section 13.8 shall not be applicable to any person if the cost,
loss, liability, or expense is due to the person’s gross negligence, fraud or willful
misconduct or if the person refuses to assist in the defense of the claim against him.

13-2

 

	13.9	 	Permitted Acceleration of Payment. The Plan may permit acceleration of the time or schedule
of any payment or amount scheduled to be paid pursuant to a payment under the Plan provided
such acceleration would be permitted by the provisions of Reg. Sec. 1.409A-3(j)(4).

Code Section 409A and/or preserve the intended tax treatment of such payments or benefits, or
(ii) comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A and related Department of Treasury
guidance and thereby avoid the application of income taxes under Code Section 409A;

unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable
physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or can be expected to
last for a

2-1

 

	 	 	continuous period of not less than 12 months, or (b) is, by reason of any medically
determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or last
for a continuous period of not less than 12 months, receiving income replacement benefits
for a period of not less than 3 months under an accident and health plan covering employees
of the Employer employing the Participant. A Participant will be considered Disabled if he
is determined to be totally disabled by the Social Security Administration or the Railroad
Retirement Board.
	 
	 	 	All determinations of whether a Participant is Disabled will be made in accordance with
Code Section 409A(a)(2)(C) and the final regulations thereunder.

2-2

 

	2.21	 	“Retirement” has the meaning specified in 6.01(f) of the Adoption Agreement.
	 
	2.22	 	“Separation from Service” means the date that the Participant dies, retires or otherwise has
a termination of employment with respect to all entities comprising the Related Employer. A
Separation from Service does not occur if the Participant is on military leave, sick leave or
other bona fide leave of absence if the period of leave does not exceed 6 months or such
longer period during which the Participant’s right to re-employment is provided by statute or
contract. A leave of absence constitutes a bona fide leave of absence only if there is a
reasonable expectation that the Participant will return to perform services for the Related
Employer. If the period of leave exceeds 6 months and the Participant’s right to
re-employment is not provided either by statute or contract, a Separation from Service will be
deemed to have occurred on the first day following the 6-month period. If the period of leave
is due to any medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to
result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 6 months,
where the impairment causes the Participant to be unable to perform the duties of his position
of employment or any substantially similar position of employment, a 29-month period of
absence shall be substituted for the 6-month period.
	 
	 	 	Whether a termination of employment has occurred is based on whether the facts and
circumstances indicate that the Related Employer and the Participant reasonably anticipated
that no further services would be performed after a certain date or that the level of bona
fide services the Participant would perform after such date (whether as an employee or as
an independent contractor) would permanently decrease to no more than 20% of the average
level of bona fide services performed (whether as an employee or an independent contractor)
over the immediately preceding 36-month period (or the full period of services to the
Related Employer if the employee has been providing services to the Related Employer for
less than 36 months).
	 
	 	 	An independent contractor is considered to have experienced a Separation from Service with
the Related Employer upon the expiration of the contract (or, in the case of more than one
contract all contracts) under which services are performed for the Related Employer if the
expiration constitutes a good-faith and complete termination of the contractual
relationship.
	 
	 	 	If a Participant provides services as both an employee and an independent contractor of the
Related Employer, the Participant must separate from service both as an employee and as an
independent contractor to be treated as having incurred a Separation from Service. If a
Participant ceases providing services as an independent contractor and

2-3

 

	 	 	begins providing services as an employee, or ceases providing services as an employee and
begins providing services as an independent contractor, the Participant will not be
considered to have experienced a Separation from Service until the Participant has ceased
providing services in both capacities.
	 
	 	 	If a Participant provides services both as an employee and as a member of the board of
directors of a corporate Related Employer (or an analogous position with respect to a
noncorporate Related Employer), the services provided as a director are not taken into
account in determining whether the Participant has incurred a Separation from Service as an
employee for purposes of a nonqualified deferred compensation plan in which the Participant
participates as an employee that is not aggregated under Code Section 409A with any plan in
which the Participant participates as a director.
	 
	 	 	If a Participant provides services both as an employee and as a member of board of
directors of a corporate related Employer (or an analogous position with respect to a
noncorporate Related Employer), the services provided as an employee are not taken into
account in determining whether the Participant has experienced a Separation from Service as
a director for purposes of a nonqualified deferred compensation plan in which the
Participant participates as a director that is not aggregated under Code Section 409A with
any plan in which the Participant participates as an employee.
	 
	 	 	For purposes of this Section 2.22, the term Related Employer shall have the meaning set
forth in Section 2.20, except that (i) “at least 50%” shall be substituted for “at least
80%” where the latter appears in Code Sections 1563(a)(1), (2), and (3) for purposes of
determining a controlled group of corporations under Code Section 414(b), and (ii) “at
least 50%” shall be substituted for “at least 80%” where the latter appears in Reg. Sec.
1.414(c)-2 for purposes of determining trades or businesses (whether or not incorporated)
that are under common control for purposes of Code Section 414(c).
	 
	 	 	All determinations of whether a Separation from Service has occurred will be made in
accordance with Code Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(i) and the final regulations thereunder.
	 
	2.23	 	“Specified Employee” means an employee who satisfies the conditions set forth in Section 9.6.
	 
	2.24	 	“Unforeseeable Emergency” means a severe financial hardship of the Participant resulting from
an illness or accident of the Participant, the Participant’s spouse, or the Participant’s
dependent (as defined in Code Section 152, without regard to Code Section 152(b)(1), (b)(2)
and

2-4

 

	 	 	(d)(1)(B); loss of the Participant’s property due to casualty; or other similar
extraordinary and unforeseeable circumstances arising as a result of events beyond the
control of the Participant.
	 
	 	 	All determinations of whether an Unforeseeable Emergency has occurred will be made in
accordance with Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(ii) and the final regulations thereunder.
	 
	2.25	 	“Valuation Date” means each business day of the Plan Year.
	 
	2.26	 	“Years of Service” means each one year period for which the Participant receives service
credit in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.01(d) of the Adoption Agreement.

2-5

 

ARTICLE 3 – PARTICIPATION

	3.1	 	Participation. The Participants in the Plan shall be those employees of the Employer who
satisfy the requirements of Section 2.01 of the Adoption Agreement.
	 
	3.2	 	Termination of Participation. The Administrator may terminate a Participant’s participation
in the Plan in a manner consistent with Code Section 409A.

3-1

 

ARTICLE 4 – PARTICIPANT ELECTIONS

	4.1	 	Deferral Form. If permitted by the Plan Sponsor in accordance with Section 4.01 of the
Adoption Agreement, each Eligible Employee may elect to defer his Compensation within the
meaning of Section 3.01 of the Adoption Agreement by executing in writing or electronically, a
deferral form in accordance with rules and procedures established by the Administrator, the
provisions of this Article 4, and Code Section 409A(a)(4)(B) and the final regulations
thereunder.
	 
	 	 	A new deferral form must be timely executed for each Plan Year during which the Eligible
Employee desires to defer Compensation. An Eligible Employee who does not timely execute a
deferral form shall be deemed to have elected zero deferrals of Compensation for such Plan
Year.
	 
	 	 	A deferral form may be changed or revoked during the period specified by the Administrator.
Except as provided in Section 9.3 or in Section 4.01(c) of the Adoption Agreement, a
deferral form becomes irrevocable at the close of the specified period.
	 
	4.2	 	Amount of Deferral. An Eligible Employee may elect to defer Compensation in any amount
permitted by Section 4.01(a) of the Adoption Agreement.
	 
	4.3	 	Timing of Election to Defer. Each Eligible Employee who desires to defer Compensation
otherwise payable during a Plan Year must execute a deferral form within the period preceding
the Plan Year specified by the Administrator. Each Eligible Employee who desires to defer
Compensation that is a Bonus must execute a deferral form within the period preceding the Plan
Year during which the Bonus is earned that is specified by the Administrator, except that if
the Bonus qualifies as performance based compensation as described in Code Section
409A(a)(4)(B)(iii), the deferral form may be executed within the period specified by the
Administrator, which period, in no event, shall end after the date which is 6 months prior to
the end of the performance period during which the Bonus is earned. In addition, if the
Compensation qualifies as ‘fiscal year compensation’ within the meaning of Reg. Sec. 1.409A
-2(a)(6), the deferral form may be made not later than the end of the Employer’s taxable year
immediately preceding the first taxable year of the Employer in which any services are
performed for which such Compensation is payable.

4-1

 

	 	 	Except as otherwise provided below, an employee who is classified or designated as an
Eligible Employee during a Plan Year may elect to defer Compensation otherwise payable
during the remainder of such Plan Year in accordance with the rules of this Section 4.3 by
executing a deferral form within the 30-day period beginning on the date the employee is
classified or designated as an Eligible Employee. If Compensation is based on a specified
performance period that begins before the Eligible Employee executes his deferral form, the
election will be deemed to apply to the portion of such Compensation equal to the total
amount of Compensation for the performance period multiplied by the ratio of the number of
days remaining in the performance period after the election over the total number of days
in the performance period. The rules of this paragraph shall not apply unless the Eligible
Employee can be treated as initially eligible in accordance with Reg. Sec. 1.409A-2(a)(7).
	 
	4.4	 	Election of Payment Schedule and Form of Payment.
	 
	 	 	All elections of a payment schedule and a form of payment will be made in accordance with
rules and procedures established by the Administrator and the provisions of this Section
4.4, as determined in accordance with Reg. Sec. 1.409A-2(a).
	 
	 	 	(a) If the Plan Sponsor has elected to permit annual distribution elections in accordance
with Section 6.01(h) of the Adoption Agreement the following rules apply. At the time an
Eligible Employee completes a deferral form, the Eligible Employee must irrevocably elect
(i) a distribution event (which includes a specified time) and form of payment for the
Compensation subject to the deferral form and for any Employer contributions that may be
credited to the Participant’s Account during the Plan Year from among the options the Plan
Sponsor has made available for this purpose and which are specified in 6.01(b) of the
Adoption Agreement, and (ii) the time of commencement of distributions from the options the
Plan Sponsor has made available for this purpose which are specified in 6.01(a) of the
Adoption Agreement . If an Eligible Employee fails to elect a distribution event, he shall
be deemed to have elected Separation from Service as the distribution event. If an
Eligible Employee fails to elect a form of payment, he shall be deemed to have elected a
lump sum as the form of payment. If an Eligible Employee fails to elect a time of
commencement, he shall be deemed to have elected the last business day of the month in
which occurs the 60th day following Separation from Service. Subject to
Article 9, distributions shall be made to an Employee upon the earliest to occur of the
events specified in 6.01(a) of the Adoption Agreement.
	 
	 	 	(b) If the Plan Sponsor has elected not to permit annual distribution elections in
accordance with Section 6.01(h) of the Adoption Agreement

4-2

 

	 	 	the following rules apply. At the time an Eligible Employee first completes a deferral
form, the Eligible Employee must irrevocably elect a distribution event (which includes a
specified time) and a form of payment for amounts credited to his Account from among the
options the Plan Sponsor has made available for this purpose and which are specified in
Section 6.01(b) of the Adoption Agreement. If an Eligible Employee fails to elect a
distribution event, he shall be deemed to have elected Separation from Service in the
distribution event. If he fails to elect a form of payment, he shall be deemed to have
elected a lump sum as the form of payment.

4-3

 

ARTICLE 5 – EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTIONS

	5.1	 	Matching Contributions. If elected by the Plan Sponsor in Section 5.01(a) of the Adoption
Agreement, the Employer will credit the Participant’s Account with a matching contribution
determined in accordance with the formula specified in Section 5.01(a) of the Adoption
Agreement. The matching contribution will be treated as allocated to the Participant’s
Account at the time specified in Section 5.01(a)(iii) of the Adoption Agreement.
	 
	5.2	 	Other Contributions. If elected by the Plan Sponsor in Section 5.01(b) of the Adoption
Agreement, the Employer will credit the Participant’s Account with a contribution determined
in accordance with the formula or method specified in Section 5.01(b) of the Adoption
Agreement. The contribution will be treated as allocated to the Participant’s Account at the
time specified in Section 5.01(b)(iii) of the Adoption Agreement.

5-1

 

ARTICLE 6 – ACCOUNTS AND CREDITS

	6.1	 	Establishment of Account. For accounting and computational purposes only, the Administrator
will establish and maintain an Account on behalf of each Participant which will reflect the
credits made pursuant to Section 6.2, distributions or withdrawals, along with the earnings,
expenses, gains and losses allocated thereto, attributable to the hypothetical investments
made with the amounts in the Account as provided in Article 7. The Administrator will
establish and maintain such other records and accounts, as it decides in its discretion to be
reasonably required or appropriate to discharge its duties under the Plan.

	6.2	 	Credits to Account. A Participant’s Account will be credited for each Plan Year with the
amount of his elective deferrals under Section 4.1 and the amount of Employer contributions
treated as allocated on his behalf under Article 5 at the time the Administrator determines in
its absolute discretion.

	6.3	 	Sub-Accounts. The Administrator will establish and maintain such other accounts or
sub-accounts as the Administrator deems necessary or desirable in order to effectuate the purposes
of Sections 6.1 and 6.2 and Articles 7 and 9.

6-1

 

ARTICLE 7 – INVESTMENT OF CONTRIBUTIONS

	7.1	 	Investment Options. The amount credited to each Account shall be treated as invested in the
investment options designated for this purpose by the Administrator.

	7.2	 	Adjustment of Accounts. The amount credited to each Account shall be adjusted for
hypothetical investment earnings, expenses, gains or losses in an amount equal to the
earnings, expenses, gains or losses attributable to the investment options selected by the
party designated in Section 9.01 of the Adoption Agreement from among the investment options
provided in Section 7.1. If permitted by Section 9.01 of the Adoption Agreement, a
Participant (or the Participant’s Beneficiary after the death of the Participant) may, in
accordance with rules and procedures established by the Administrator, select the investments
from among the options provided in Section 7.1 to be used for the purpose of calculating
future hypothetical investment adjustments to the Account or to future credits to the Account
under Section 6.2 effective as the Valuation Date coincident with or next following notice to
the Administrator. Each Account shall be adjusted as of each Valuation Date to reflect: (a)
the hypothetical earnings, expenses, gains and losses described above; (b) amounts credited
pursuant to Section 6.2; and (c) distributions or withdrawals. In addition, each Account may
be adjusted for its allocable share of the hypothetical costs and expenses associated with the
maintenance of the hypothetical investments provided in Section 7.1.

7-1

 

ARTICLE 8 – RIGHT TO BENEFITS

	8.1	 	Vesting. Except as otherwise provided in Article 13.1, 13.2 and 13.3, a Participant, at all
times, has the 100% nonforfeitable interest in the amounts credited to his Account
attributable to his elective deferrals made in accordance with Section 4.1.
	 
	 	 	A Participant’s right to the amounts credited to his Account attributable to Employer
contributions made in accordance with Article 5 shall be determined in accordance with the
relevant schedule and provisions in Section 7.01 of the Adoption Agreement.
	 
	8.2	 	Death. The Plan Sponsor may elect to accelerate vesting upon the death of the Participant in
accordance with Section 7.01(c) of the Adoption Agreement and/or to permit distributions upon
Death in accordance with Section 6.01(b) or Section 6.01(d) of the Adoption Agreement. If the
Plan Sponsor does not elect to permit distributions upon death in accordance with Section
6.01(b) or Section 6.01(d) of the Adoption Agreement, the vested amount credited to the
Participant’s Account will be paid in accordance with the provisions of Article 9.
	 
	 	 	A Participant may designate a Beneficiary or Beneficiaries, or change any prior designation
of Beneficiary or Beneficiaries in accordance with rules and procedures established by the
Administrator.
	 
	 	 	A copy of the death notice or other sufficient documentation must be filed with and
approved by the Administrator. If upon the death of the Participant there is, in the
opinion of the Administrator, no designated Beneficiary for part or all of the
Participant’s vested Account, such amount will be paid to his estate (such estate shall be
deemed to be the Beneficiary for purposes of the Plan) in accordance with the provisions of
Article 9.
	 
	8.3	 	Disability. If the Plan Sponsor has elected to accelerate vesting upon the occurrence of a
Disability in accordance with Section 7.01(c) of the Adoption Agreement and/or to permit
distributions upon Disability in accordance with Section 6.01(b) or Section 6.01(d) of the
Adoption Agreement, the determination of whether a Participant has incurred a Disability shall
be made by the Administrator in its sole discretion.

8-1

 

ARTICLE 9 – DISTRIBUTION OF BENEFITS

	9.1	 	Amount of Benefits. The vested amount credited to a Participant’s Account as determined
under Articles 6, 7 and 8 shall determine and constitute the basis for the value of benefits
payable to the Participant under the Plan.
	 
	9.2	 	Method and Timing of Distributions. Except as otherwise provided in this Article 9 and
Article 10, distributions under the Plan shall be made in accordance with the elections made
or deemed made by the Participant under Article 4. Subject to the provisions of Section 9.6
requiring a 6 month delay for certain distributions to Specified Employees, distributions
following a payment event shall commence at the time specified in Section 6.01(a) of the
Adoption Agreement. If permitted by Section 6.01(g) of the Adoption Agreement, a Participant
may irrevocably elect, at least 12 months before a scheduled distribution event, to delay the
payment date for a minimum period of 60 months from the originally scheduled date of payment,
provided that, such irrevocable election will be effective no earlier than 12 months after it
is made, in accordance with Code Section 409A(a)(4)(C) and the final regulations thereunder.
The distribution election change must be made in accordance with procedures and rules
established by the Administrator. The Participant may, at the same time the date of payment
is deferred, change the form of payment but such change in the form of payment may not effect
an acceleration of payment in violation of Code Section 409A(a)(3) or the provisions of Reg.
Sec. 1.409A-2(b). For purposes of this Section 9.2, a series of installment payments is
always treated as a single payment and not as a series of separate payments.
	 
	9.3	 	Unforeseeable Emergency. A Participant may request a distribution due to an Unforeseeable
Emergency if the Plan Sponsor has elected to permit Unforeseeable Emergency withdrawals under
Section 8.01(a) of the Adoption Agreement. The request must be in writing and must be
submitted to the Administrator along with evidence that the circumstances constitute an
Unforeseeable Emergency. The Administrator has the discretion to require whatever evidence it
deems necessary to determine whether a distribution is warranted. Whether a Participant has
incurred an Unforeseeable Emergency will be determined by the Administrator on the basis of
the relevant facts and circumstances in its sole discretion, but, in no event, will a
distribution on account of an Unforeseeable Emergency be made to the extent the Unforeseeable
Emergency is or may be relieved: (a) through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or
otherwise, (b) by liquidation of the Participant’s assets to the extent such liquidation
would not itself cause severe financial hardship, or (c) by 

9-1

 

	 	 	cessation of deferrals under
the Plan. A distribution due to an Unforeseeable Emergency must be limited to the amount
reasonably necessary to satisfy the emergency need and may include any amounts necessary to
pay any federal, state, local or foreign income taxes or penalties reasonably anticipated
to result from the distribution. The distribution will be made in the form of a single
lump sum cash payment. The distribution may be made from any nonqualified plan in which
the Participant participates that provides for payment upon an Unforeseeable Emergency,
provided that the nonqualified plan under which payment is to be made was designated at the
time of payment. If permitted by Section 8.01(b) of the Adoption Agreement, a
Participant’s deferral elections for the remainder of the Plan Year will not be cancelled
upon a withdrawal due to Unforeseeable Emergency. If the payment of all or any portion of
the Participant’s vested Account is being delayed in accordance with Section 9.6 at the
time he experiences an Unforeseeable Emergency, the amount being delayed shall not be
subject to the provisions of this Section 9.3 until the expiration of the 6-month period of
delay required by Section 9.6.
	 
	9.4	 	Payment Election Overrides. If the Plan Sponsor has elected one or more payment election
overrides in accordance with Section 6.01(d) of the Adoption Agreement, the following
provisions apply. Upon the occurrence of the first event selected by the Plan Sponsor, the
remaining vested amount credited to the Participant’s Account shall be paid in the form
designated to the Participant or his Beneficiary regardless of whether the Participant had
made different elections of time and /or form of payment or whether the Participant was
receiving installment payments at the time of the event.
	 
	9.5	 	Cashouts Of Amounts Not Exceeding Stated Limit. If the vested amount credited to the
Participant’s Account does not exceed the limit established for this purpose by the Plan
Sponsor in Section 6.01(e) of the Adoption Agreement at the time he incurs a Separation from
Service for any reason, the Employer shall distribute such amount to the Participant at the
time specified in Section 6.01(a)(i)(B) of the Adoption Agreement in a single lump sum cash
payment following such Separation from Service regardless of whether the Participant had made
different elections of time or form of payment as to the vested amount credited to his Account
or whether the Participant was receiving installments at the time of such termination. The
cashout of any amounts described in Section 1.3 shall be determined in accordance with
Appendix B of the Adoption Agreement.
	 
	9.6	 	Required Delay in Payment to Specified Employees. Except as otherwise provided in this
Section 9.6, a distribution made on account of Separation from Service (or Retirement, if
applicable) to a Participant who is a Specified Employee as of the date of his Separation from
Service (or Retirement, if applicable) shall not be made before the date which is 6 

9-2

 

	 	 	months
after the date of Separation from Service (or Retirement, if applicable) (the “6 month
delay”). If the distribution of any amount is delayed as a result of the previous sentence,
then each payment to which the Participant is otherwise entitled upon a Separation from
Service shall be delayed by 6 months. Any remaining payments due under the Plan shall be paid
as otherwise provided in the Plan.
	 
	 	 	(a) A Participant is treated as a Specified Employee if (i) he is employed by a Related
Employer any of whose stock is publicly traded on an established securities market or
otherwise, and (ii) he satisfies the requirements of Code Section 416(i)(1)(A)(i), (ii) or
(iii), determined without regard to Code Section 416(i)(5), at any time during the 12-month
period ending on the Identification Date, as determined in accordance with Code Section
409A(a)(2)(B)(i) and the final regulations thereunder.
	 
	 	 	(b) A Participant who meets the requirements of paragraph (a) on an Identification Date
shall be treated as a Specified Employee for the 12-month period beginning on the first day
of the 4th month following the Identification Date. The Identification Date and the
effective date of the delay in distributions shall be determined in accordance with Section
1.06 of the Adoption Agreement.
	 
	 	 	(c) The 6 month delay does not apply to payments under the circumstances described in Reg.
Sec. 1.409A-3(j)(4)(ii), (j)(4)(iii), or (j)(4)(vi), or to payments that occur after the
death of the Participant. If the payment of all or any portion of the Participant’s vested
Account is being delayed in accordance with this Section 9.6 at the time he incurs a
Disability which would otherwise require a distribution under the terms of the Plan, no
amount shall be paid until the expiration of the 6-month period of delay required by this
Section 9.6.
	 
	9.7	 	Change in Control. If the Plan Sponsor has elected to permit distributions upon a Change in
Control, the following provisions shall apply. A distribution made upon a Change in Control
will be made at the time specified in Section 6.01(a) of the Adoption Agreement in the form
elected by the Participant in accordance with the procedures described in Article 4.
Alternatively, if the Plan Sponsor has elected in accordance with Section 11.02 of the
Adoption Agreement to require distributions upon a Change in Control, the Participant’s
remaining vested Account shall be paid to the Participant or the Participant’s Beneficiary at
the time specified
in Section 6.01(a) of the Adoption Agreement as a single lump sum payment. A Change in
Control, for purposes of the Plan, will occur upon a change in the ownership of the Plan
Sponsor, a change in the effective control of the Plan Sponsor or a change in the ownership
of a substantial portion of the assets of the Plan Sponsor, as determined in accordance

9-3

 

	 	 	with Code Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(v) and the final regulations thereunder, but only if
elected by the Plan Sponsor in Section 11.03 of the Adoption Agreement. The Plan Sponsor,
for this purpose, includes any corporation identified in this Section 9.7. All
distributions made in accordance with this Section 9.7 are subject to the provisions of
Section 9.6.
	 
	 	 	If a Participant continues to make deferrals in accordance with Article 4 after he has
received a distribution due to a Change in Control, the residual amount payable to the
Participant shall be paid at the time and in the form specified in the elections he makes
in accordance with Article 4 or upon his death or Disability as provided in Article 8.
	 
	 	 	Whether a Change in Control has occurred will be determined by the Administrator in
accordance with the rules and definitions set forth in this Section 9.7.

	 	(a)	 	Relevant Corporations. To constitute a Change in Control for purposes of the
Plan, the event must relate to (i) the corporation for whom the Participant is
performing services at the time of the Change in Control, (ii) the corporation that is
liable for the payment of the Participant’s benefits under the Plan (or all
corporations liable if more than one corporation is liable) but only if either the
deferred compensation is attributable to the performance of services by the
Participant for such corporation (or corporations) or there is a bona fide business
purpose for such corporation (or corporations) to be liable for such payment and, in
either case, no significant purpose of making such corporation (or corporations)
liable for such payment is the avoidance of federal income tax, or (iii) a corporation
that is a majority shareholder of a corporation identified in (i) or (ii), or any
corporation in a chain of corporations in which each corporation is a majority
shareholder of another corporation in the chain, ending in a corporation identified in
(i) or (ii). A majority shareholder is defined as a shareholder owning more than 50%
of the total fair market value and voting power of such corporation.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Stock Ownership. Code Section 318(a) applies for purposes of determining
stock ownership. Stock underlying a vested option is considered owned by the
individual who owns the vested option (and the stock underlying an unvested option is
not considered owned by the individual who holds the unvested option). If, however, a
vested option is exercisable for stock that is not substantially vested (as
defined by Treasury Regulation Section 1.83-3(b) and (j)) the stock underlying the
option is not treated as owned by the individual who holds the option.

9-4

 

	 	(c)	 	Change in the Ownership of a Corporation. A change in the ownership of a
corporation occurs on the date that any one person or more than one person acting as a
group, acquires ownership of stock of the corporation that, together with stock held
by such person or group, constitutes more than 50% of the total fair market value or
total voting power of the stock of such corporation. If any one person or more than
one person acting as a group is considered to own more than 50% of the total fair
market value or total voting power of the stock of a corporation, the acquisition of
additional stock by the same person or persons is not considered to cause a change in
the ownership of the corporation (or to cause a change in the effective control of the
corporation as discussed below in Section 9.7(d)). An increase in the percentage of
stock owned by any one person, or persons acting as a group, as a result of a
transaction in which the corporation acquires its stock in exchange for property will
be treated as an acquisition of stock. Section 9.7(c) applies only when there is a
transfer of stock of a corporation (or issuance of stock of a corporation) and stock
in such corporation remains outstanding after the transaction. For purposes of this
Section 9.7(c), persons will not be considered to be acting as a group solely because
they purchase or own stock of the same corporation at the same time or as a result of
the same public offering. Persons will, however, be considered to be acting as a
group if they are owners of a corporation that enters into a merger, consolidation,
purchase or acquisition of stock, or similar business transaction with the
corporation. If a person, including an entity, owns stock in both corporations that
enter into a merger, consolidation, purchase or acquisition of stock, or similar
transaction, such shareholder is considered to be acting as a group with other
shareholders only with respect to the ownership in that corporation before the
transaction giving rise to the change and not with respect to the ownership interest
in the other corporation.
	 
	 	(d)	 	Change in the effective control of a corporation. A change in the effective
control of a corporation occurs on the date that either (i) any one person, or more
than one person acting as a group, acquires (or has acquired during the 12-month
period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such person or persons)
ownership of stock of the corporation possessing 30% or more of the total voting power
of the stock of such corporation, or (ii) a majority of members of the corporation’s
board of directors is replaced during any 12-month period by directors whose
appointment or election is not endorsed by a majority of the members of the
corporation’s board of
directors prior to the date of the appointment or election, provided that for
purposes of this paragraph (ii), the term corporation refers solely to the relevant
corporation identified in
Section 9.7(a) for which no other corporation is a
majority shareholder for purposes of Section 9.7(a).

9-5

 

	 	 	 	
In the absence of an event
described in Section 9.7(d)(i) or (ii), a change in the effective control of a
corporation will not have occurred. A change in effective control may also occur in
any transaction in which either of the two corporations involved in the transaction
has a change in the ownership of such corporation as described in Section 9.7(c) or
a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of such corporation
as described in Section 9.7(e). If any one person, or more than one person acting
as a group, is considered to effectively control a corporation within the meaning of
this Section 9.7(d), the acquisition of additional control of the corporation by the
same person or persons is not considered to cause a change in the effective control
of the corporation or to cause a change in the ownership of the corporation within
the meaning of Section 9.7(c). For purposes of this Section 9.7(d), persons will or
will not be considered to be acting as a group in accordance with rules similar to
those set forth in Section 9.7(c).
	 
	 	(e)	 	Change in the ownership of a substantial portion of a corporation’s assets.
A change in the ownership of a substantial portion of a corporation’s assets occurs on
the date that any one person, or more than one person acting as a group (as determined
in accordance with rules similar to those set forth in Section 9.7(d)), acquires (or
has acquired during the 12-month period ending on the date of the most recent
acquisition by such person or persons) assets from the corporation that have a total
gross fair market value equal to or more than 40% of the total gross fair market value
of all of the assets of the corporation immediately prior to such acquisition or
acquisitions. For this purpose, gross fair market value means the value of the assets
of the corporation of the value of the assets being disposed of determined without
regard to any liabilities associated with such assets. There is no Change in Control
event under this Section 9.7(e) when there is a transfer to an entity that is
controlled by the shareholders of the transferring corporation immediately after the
transfer. A transfer of assets by a corporation is not treated as a change in
ownership of such assets if the assets are transferred to (i) a shareholder of the
corporation (immediately before the asset transfer) in exchange for or with respect to
its stock, (ii) an entity, 50% or more of the total value or voting power of which is
owned, directly or indirectly, by the corporation, (iii) a person, or more than one
person acting as a group, that owns, directly or indirectly, 50% or more of the total
value or voting power of all the outstanding stock of the corporation, or (iv) an
entity, at least 50% of the total value or
voting power of which is owned, directly or indirectly, by a person described in
Section 9.7(e)(iii). For purposes of the foregoing, and except as otherwise
provided, a person’s status is determined immediately after the transfer of assets.
For purposes of this Section 9.7(e), persons will not be considered to be acting
as a 

9-6

 

	 	 	 	group solely because they purchase assets of the same corporation at the same
time. Persons will, however, be considered to be acting as a group if they are
owners of a corporation that enters into a merger, consolidation, purchase or
acquisition of assets, or similar business transaction with the corporation. If a
person, including an entity shareholder, owns stock in both corporations that enter
into a merger, consolidation, purchase or acquisition of assets, or similar
transaction, such shareholder is considered to be acting as a group with other
shareholders in a corporation only to the extent of the ownership in that
corporation before the transaction giving rise to the change and not with respect to
the ownership interest in the other corporation.

	9.8	 	Permissible Delays in Payment. Distributions may be delayed beyond the date payment would
otherwise occur in accordance with the provisions of Articles 8 and 9 in any of the following
circumstances as long as the Employer treats all payments to similarly situated Participants
on a reasonably consistent basis, as determined in accordance with Reg. Sec. 1.409A-2(b)(7).

	 	(a)	 	The Employer may delay payment if it reasonably anticipates that its
deduction with respect to such payment would be limited or eliminated by the
application of Code Section 162(m). Payment must be made during the Participant’s
first taxable year in which the Employer reasonably anticipates, or should reasonably
anticipate, that if the payment is made during such year the deduction of such payment
will not be barred by the application of Code Section 162(m) or during the period
beginning with the Participant’s Separation from Service and ending on the later of
the last day of the Employer’s taxable year in which the Participant separates from
service or the 15th day of the third month following the Participant’s Separation from
Service. If a scheduled payment to a Participant is delayed in accordance with this
Section 9.8(a), all scheduled payments to the Participant that could be delayed in
accordance with this Section 9.8(a) will also be delayed. Where the payment is delayed
to a date on or after the Participant’s Separation from Service, the payment will be
considered a payment upon a Separation from Service, subject to the provisions of
Section 9.6.
	 
	 	(b)	 	The Employer may also delay payment if it reasonably anticipates that the
making of the payment will violate federal securities laws or
other applicable laws provided payment is made at the earliest date on which the
Employer reasonably anticipates that the making of the payment will not cause such
violation.

9-7

 

	 	(c)	 	The Employer reserves the right to amend the Plan to provide for a delay in
payment upon such other events and conditions as the Secretary of the Treasury may
prescribe in generally applicable guidance published in the Internal Revenue Bulletin.

9-8

 

ARTICLE 10 – AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION

	10.1	 	Amendment by Plan Sponsor. The Plan Sponsor reserves the right to amend the Plan (for itself
and each Employer) through action of its Board of Directors. No amendment can directly or
indirectly deprive any current or former Participant or Beneficiary of all or any portion of
his Account which had accrued prior to the amendment.
	 
	10.2	 	Plan Termination Following Change in Control or Corporate Dissolution.
	 
	 	 	If so elected by the Plan Sponsor in 11.01 of the Adoption Agreement:

	 	(a)	 	The Related Employer reserves the right to terminate the Plan in accordance
with Reg. Sec. 1.409A-3(j)(4)(ix)(B), pursuant to the Related Employer’s termination
and liquidation of the Plan pursuant to irrevocable action taken by the Related
Employer within the 30 days preceding or the 12 months following a Change in Control.
This Section 10.2(a) will only apply to a payment under a plan if all agreements,
methods, programs and other arrangements sponsored by the Related Employer immediately
after the Change in Control with respect to which deferrals of compensation are
treated as having been deferred under a single plan under Reg. Sec. 1.409A-1(c)(2) are
terminated and liquidated with respect to each participant that experienced the Change
in Control, so that under the terms of the termination and liquidation all such
participants are required to receive all amounts of compensation deferred under the
terminated agreements, methods, programs, and other arrangements within 12 months of
the date the Related Employer irrevocably takes all necessary action to terminate and
liquidate the agreements, methods, programs, and other arrangements. Solely for
purposes of this Section 10.2(a), where the Change in Control results from an asset
purchase transaction, the applicable Related Employer with the discretion to liquidate
and terminate the agreements, methods, programs, and other arrangements is the Related
Employer that is primarily liable immediately after the transaction for the payment of
the deferred compensation.
	 
	 	(b)	 	In addition, the Related Employer reserves the right to terminate the Plan,
in accordance with Reg. Sec. 1.409A-3(j)(4)(ix)(A), pursuant to the Related Employer’s
termination and liquidation of the Plan within 12 months of a corporate dissolution
taxed under Code Section 331 or with the approval of a bankruptcy court pursuant to 11
U. S. C. Section 503(b)(1)(A), provided that amounts

11-1

 

	 	 	 	deferred under the Plan are included in the gross incomes of Participants in the
latest of (a) the calendar year in which the Plan termination and liquidation
occurs, (b) the first calendar year in which the amount is no longer subject to a
substantial risk of forfeiture, or (c) the first calendar year in which payment is
administratively practicable (or, if earlier, the taxable year in which the amount
is actually or constructively received).

	10.3	 	Other Plan Terminations. The Related Employer retains the discretion to terminate the Plan,
in accordance with Reg. Sec. 1.409A-3(j)(4)(ix)(C), pursuant to the Related Employer’s
termination and liquidation of the Plan if (a) the Related Employer terminates and liquidates
all agreements, methods, programs, and other arrangements sponsored by the Related Employer
that would be aggregated with any terminated and liquidated agreements, methods, programs, and
other arrangements under Reg. Sec. 1.409A-1(c) if the same Related Employer had deferrals of
compensation under all of the agreements, methods, programs, and other arrangements that are
terminated and liquidated, (b) no payments in liquidation of the Plan are made within 12
months of the date the Related Employer takes all necessary action to irrevocably terminate
and liquidate the Plan other than payments that would be payable under the terms of the Plan
if the action to terminate and liquidate the Plan had not occurred, (c) all payments are made
within 24 months of the date the Related Employer takes all necessary action to irrevocably
terminate and liquidate the Plan, (d) the Related Employer does not adopt a new plan that
would be aggregated with any terminated and liquidated plan under Reg. Sec. 1.409A-1(c) if the
same participant participated in both plans, at any time within the 3-year period following
the date the Related Employer takes all necessary action to irrevocably terminate and
liquidated the Plan, and (e) the termination and liquidation does not occur proximate to a
downturn in the financial health of the Related Employer. The Plan Sponsor also reserves the
right to amend the Plan to provide that termination of the Plan will occur under such
conditions and events as may be prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury in generally
applicable guidance published in the Internal Revenue Bulletin.
	 
	10.4	 	Code Section 409A Limitation. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, in
no event shall any amendment or termination of the Plan be effective unless one of the
following is true: (i) the amendment or termination does not cause an acceleration or
impermissible delay in payment of benefits under Code Section 409A, (ii) any acceleration or
delay in payment is covered by an exception to the prohibition on accelerations or delays
under Code Section 409A, or (iii) the Plan Sponsor and the Participant acknowledge in writing
that the amendment or termination accelerates or delays the payment of benefits and is likely
to result in Code Section 409A penalties.

11-2

 

ARTICLE 11 – THE TRUST

	11.1	 	Establishment of Trust. The Plan Sponsor may but is not required to establish a trust to
hold amounts which the Plan Sponsor may contribute from time to time to correspond to some or
all amounts credited to Participants under Section 6.2. If the Plan Sponsor elects to
establish a trust in accordance with Section 10.01 of the Adoption Agreement, the provisions
of Sections 11.2 and 11.3 shall become operative.

	11.2	 	Grantor Trust. Any trust established by the Plan Sponsor shall be between the Plan Sponsor
and a trustee pursuant to a separate written agreement under which assets are held,
administered and managed, subject to the claims of the Plan Sponsor’s creditors in the event
of the Plan Sponsor’s insolvency. The trust is intended to be treated as a grantor trust
under the Code, and the establishment of the trust shall not cause the Participant to realize
current income on amounts contributed thereto. The Plan Sponsor must notify the trustee in
the event of a bankruptcy or insolvency.

	11.3	 	Investment of Trust Funds. Any amounts contributed to the trust by the Plan Sponsor shall be
invested by the trustee in accordance with the provisions of the trust and the instructions of
the Administrator. Trust investments need not reflect the hypothetical investments selected
by Participants under Section 7.1 for the purpose of adjusting Accounts and the earnings or
investment results of the trust need not affect the hypothetical investment adjustments to
Participant Accounts under the Plan.

11-3

 

ARTICLE 12 – PLAN ADMINISTRATION

	12.1	 	Discretionary Powers and Responsibilities of the Administrator. The Administrator has the
full discretionary power and the full responsibility to administer the Plan in all of its
details, subject, however, to the applicable requirements of ERISA. The Administrator’s
discretionary powers and responsibilities include, but are not limited to, the following:

	 	(a)	 	To make and enforce such rules and procedures as it deems necessary or proper
for the efficient administration of the Plan;
	 
	 	(b)	 	To interpret the Plan, its interpretation thereof to be final, except as
provided in Section 12.2, on all persons claiming benefits under the Plan;
	 
	 	(c)	 	To decide all questions concerning the Plan and the eligibility of any person
to participate in the Plan;
	 
	 	(d)	 	To administer the claims and review procedures specified in Section 12.2;
	 
	 	(e)	 	To compute the amount of benefits which will be payable to any Participant,
former Participant or Beneficiary in accordance with the provisions of the Plan;
	 
	 	(f)	 	To determine the person or persons to whom such benefits will be paid;
	 
	 	(g)	 	To authorize the payment of benefits;
	 
	 	(h)	 	To comply with the reporting and disclosure requirements of Part 1 of
Subtitle B of Title I of ERISA;
	 
	 	(i)	 	To appoint such agents (which may include officers and/or employees of the
Plan Sponsor), counsel, accountants, and consultants as may be required to assist in
administering the Plan;
	 
	 	(j)	 	By written instrument, to allocate and delegate its responsibilities,
including the formation of an Administrative Committee to administer the Plan.

Any decision or action of the Administrator in respect of any question arising out of or in
connection with the administration, interpretation and application of the Plan and the rules and
regulations promulgated hereunder shall be final,

12-1

 

conclusive and binding upon all persons having any interest in the Plan, unless found by a court of
competent jurisdiction to be an abuse of discretion.

	12.2	 	Claims and Review Procedures.

	 	(a)	 	Claims Procedure.
	 
	 	 	 	If any person believes he is being denied any rights or benefits under the Plan,
such person may file a claim in writing with the Administrator. If any such claim
is wholly or partially denied, the Administrator will notify such person of its
decision in writing. Such notification will contain (i) specific reasons for the
denial, (ii) specific reference to pertinent Plan provisions, (iii) a description
of any additional material or information necessary for such person to perfect such
claim and an explanation of why such material or information is necessary, and (iv)
a description of the Plan’s review procedures and the time limits applicable to
such procedures, including a statement of the person’s right to bring a civil
action following an adverse decision on review. Such notification will be given
within 90 days (45 days in the case of a claim regarding Disability) after the
claim is received by the Administrator. The Administrator may extend the period
for providing the notification by 90 days (30 days in the case of a claim regarding
Disability) if special circumstances require an extension of time for processing
the claim and if written notice of such extension and circumstance is given to such
person within the initial 90 day period (45 day period in the case of a claim
regarding Disability). If such notification is not given within such period, the
claim will be considered denied as of the last day of such period and such person
may request a review of his claim.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Review Procedure.
	 
	 	 	 	Within 60 days (180 days in the case of a claim regarding Disability) after the
date on which a person receives a written notification of denial of claim (or, if
written notification is not provided, within 60 days (180 days in the case of a
claim regarding Disability) of the date denial is considered to have occurred),
such person (or his duly authorized representative) may (i) file a written request
with the Administrator for a review of his denied claim and of pertinent documents
and (ii) submit written issues and comments to the Administrator. The
Administrator will notify such person of its decision in writing. Such
notification will be written in a manner calculated to be understood by such person
and will contain specific reasons for the decision as well as specific references
to pertinent Plan provisions. The notification will explain that the person is
entitled to receive, upon request and free of charge,

12-2

 

	 	 	 	reasonable access to and copies of all pertinent documents and has the right to
bring a civil action following an adverse decision on review. The decision on
review will be made within 60 days (45 days in the case of a claim regarding
Disability). The Administrator may extend the period for making the decision on
review by 60 days (45 days in the case of a claim regarding Disability) if special
circumstances require an extension of time for processing the request such as an
election by the Administrator to hold a hearing, and if written notice of such
extension and circumstances is given to such person within the initial 60-day
period (45 days in the case of a claim regarding Disability). If the decision on
review is not made within such period, the claim will be considered denied.

	12.3	 	Plan Administrative Costs. All reasonable costs and expenses (including legal, accounting,
and employee communication fees) incurred by the Employer for the administration, management
or operation of the Plan may be deducted from the Accounts of the Participants as determined
by the Administrator.

12-3

 

ARTICLE 13 – MISCELLANEOUS

	13.1	 	Unsecured General Creditor of the Employer. Participants and their Beneficiaries, heirs,
successors and assigns shall have no legal or equitable rights, interests or claims in any
property or assets of the Employer. For purposes of the payment of benefits under the Plan,
any and all of the Employer’s assets shall be, and shall remain, the general, unpledged,
unrestricted assets of the Employer. Each Employer’s obligation under the Plan shall be
merely that of an unfunded and unsecured promise to pay money in the future.
	 
	13.2	 	Employer’s Liability. Each Employer’s liability for the payment of benefits under the Plan
shall be defined only by the Plan and by the deferral forms entered into between a Participant
and the Employer. An Employer shall have no obligation or liability to a Participant under
the Plan except as provided by the Plan and a deferral form or forms. An Employer shall have
no liability to Participants employed by other Employers.
	 
	13.3	 	Limitation of Rights. Neither the establishment of the Plan, nor any amendment thereof, nor
the creation of any fund or account, nor the payment of any benefits, will be construed as
giving to the Participant or any other person any legal or equitable right against the
Employer, the Plan or the Administrator, except as provided herein; and in no event will the
terms of employment or service of the Participant be modified or in any way affected hereby.
	 
	13.4	 	Anti-Assignment. Except as may be necessary to fulfill a qualified domestic relations order
within the meaning of ERISA Section 206(d)(3)(B)(i), none of the benefits or rights of a
Participant or any Beneficiary of a Participant shall be subject to the claim of any creditor.
In particular, to the fullest extent permitted by law, all such benefits and rights shall be
free from attachment, garnishment, or any other legal or equitable process available to any
creditor of the Participant and his Beneficiary. Neither the Participant nor his Beneficiary
shall have the right to alienate, anticipate, commute, pledge, encumber, or assign any of the
payments which he may expect to receive, contingently or otherwise, under the Plan, except the
right to designate a Beneficiary to receive death benefits provided hereunder.
Notwithstanding the preceding, the benefit payable from a Participant’s Account may be
reduced, at the discretion of the administrator, to satisfy any debt or liability to the
Employer; provided that such reduction does not result in a prohibited acceleration of
payments under Reg. Sec. 1.409A-3(j).
	 
	13.5	 	Facility of Payment. If the Administrator determines, on the basis of medical reports or
other evidence satisfactory to the Administrator, that the recipient of any benefit payments
under the Plan is incapable of handling his affairs by reason of minority, illness, infirmity
or other incapacity, the Administrator may

13-1

 

	 	 	direct the Employer to disburse such payments to a person or institution designated by a
court which has jurisdiction over such recipient or a person or institution otherwise
having the legal authority under State law for the care and control of such recipient. The
receipt by such person or institution of any such payments therefore, and any such payment
to the extent thereof, shall discharge the liability of the Employer, the Plan and the
Administrator for the payment of benefits hereunder to such recipient.
	 
	13.6	 	Notices. Any notice or other communication to the Employer or Administrator in connection
with the Plan shall be deemed delivered in writing if addressed to the Plan Sponsor at the
address specified in Section 1.03 of the Adoption Agreement and if either actually delivered
at said address or, in the case of a letter, 5 business days shall have elapsed after the same
shall have been deposited in the United States mails, first-class postage prepaid and
registered or certified.
	 
	13.7	 	Tax Withholding. If the Employer concludes that tax is owing with respect to any deferral or
payment hereunder, the Employer shall withhold such amounts from any payments due the
Participant, as permitted by law, or otherwise make appropriate arrangements with the
Participant or his Beneficiary for satisfaction of such obligation. Tax, for purposes of this
Section 13.7 means any federal, state, local or any other governmental income tax, employment
or payroll tax, excise tax, or any other tax or assessment owing with respect to amounts
deferred, any earnings thereon, and any payments made to Participants under the Plan.
	 
	13.8	 	Indemnification. Each Employer shall indemnify and hold harmless each employee, officer, or
director of an Employer to whom is delegated duties, responsibilities, and authority with
respect to the Plan against all claims, liabilities, fines and penalties, and all expenses
reasonably incurred by or imposed upon him (including but not limited to reasonable attorney
fees) which arise as a result of his actions or failure to act in connection with the
operation and administration of the Plan to the extent lawfully allowable and to the extent
that such claim, liability, fine, penalty, or expense is not paid for by liability insurance
purchased or paid for by an Employer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Employer shall not
indemnify any person for any such amount incurred through any settlement or compromise of any
action unless the Employer consents in writing to such settlement or compromise.
Indemnification under this Section 13.8 shall not be applicable to any person if the cost,
loss, liability, or expense is due to the person’s gross negligence, fraud or willful
misconduct or if the person refuses to assist in the defense of the claim against him.

13-2

 

	13.9	 	Permitted Acceleration of Payment. The Plan may permit acceleration of the time or schedule
of any payment or amount scheduled to be paid pursuant to a payment under the Plan provided
such acceleration would be permitted by the provisions of Reg. Sec. 1.409A-3(j)(4).
	 
	13.10	 	Governing Law. The Plan will be construed, administered and enforced according to the laws
of the State specified by the Plan Sponsor in Section 12.01 of the Adoption Agreement except
to the extent governed by the laws of the United States.
	 
	13.11	 	Code Section 409A. The benefits payable to Participants under the Plan are intended to
comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A. To the extent applicable, the Plan shall
be interpreted, construed and administered in accordance with Code Section 409A and Department
of Treasury regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder. Notwithstanding
any provision of the Plan to the contrary, the Plan Sponsor may in its sole discretion adopt
such amendments to the Plan or take any other actions that the Plan Sponsor determines are
necessary or appropriate to (i) exempt the payments and benefits payable under the Plan from
Code Section 409A and/or preserve the intended tax treatment of such payments or benefits, or
(ii) comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A and related Department of Treasury
guidance and thereby avoid the application of income taxes under Code Section 409A;
provided, however, that this Section 13.11 shall not create any obligation on
the part of the Plan Sponsor to adopt any such amendment, policy or procedure or take any such
other action.
	 
	 	 	As provided in Internal Revenue Notice 2007-86 (as extended by Internal Revenue Notice
2007-78), notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, with respect to an election or
amendment to change a time or form of payment under this Plan made on or after January 1,
2008 and on or before December 31, 2008, the election or amendment shall apply only with
respect to payments that would not otherwise be payable in 2008, and shall not cause
payments to be made in 2008 that would not otherwise be payable in 2008.

The maximum “percentage amount” of Compensation earned for a Plan Year that a

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Participant may, within the period specified in
Section 4.01(b) of the Adoption Agreement, elect to make a “spillover election” as
described below:

that was deferred by the Participant to the Ingram Micro 401(k) Investment Savings

Plan Year and ending on the last day of such Plan Year. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event a Participant makes a
“spillover election” for a Plan Year and earns an annual bonus during such Plan

Year that is payable in the next following Plan Year, the “percentage amount” elected by
the Participant for such Plan Year (without regard to the “spillover election”)
shall apply to such bonus during the Plan Year in which it was earned.

     (B) In the event a Participant does not make a “spillover election” for a Plan
Year, the “percentage amount” elected by the Participant under the Plan for such
Plan Year (pursuant to this Section 4.01(a) above) shall remain unchanged with
respect to the Compensation earned for the period beginning on the date on which the
Participant’s contributions to the Ingram Micro 401(k) Investment Savings Plan cease
due to the limits imposed by Sections 402(g) or 401(a)(17) of the Code during such
