Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of the Plan, (A) any amount that is distributed from the Plan on account of hardship pursuant to Section 8.1 shall not be an Eligible Rollover Distribution and no election may be made to have any portion of such a distribution paid directly to an Eligible Retirement Plan and (B) a portion of a distribution shall not fail to be an Eligible Rollover Distribution merely because the portion consists of after-tax employee contributions which are not includable in gross income; provided, however, that such portion may be transferred only to an individual retirement account or annuity described in section 408(a) or (b) of the Code or to a qualified plan described in section 401(a) of the Code, an annuity plan described in section 403(a) of the Code or an annuity contract described in section 403(b) of the Code that agrees to separately account for amounts so transferred, including separately accounting for the portion of such distribution which is includable in gross income and the portion of such distribution which is not so includable.  Further, notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of the Plan, with respect to a Beneficiary who is a designated beneficiary (as defined in section 401(a)(9)(E) of the Code) other than a Member’s surviving spouse, an Eligible Rollover Distribution includes any distribution of all or any portion of the Separate Accounts of a deceased Member in a direct trustee-to-trustee transfer to (i) an individual retirement account described in section 408(a) of the Code or (ii) an individual retirement annuity described in section 408(b) of the Code, in each case that is (x) established for the purpose of receiving the distribution of such Beneficiary and (y) treated as an inherited individual retirement account or individual retirement annuity within the meaning of section 408(d)(3)(C) of the Code.

		(a)	is a five-percent owner of the Employer (within the meaning of section 416(i)(1)(A)(iii) of the Code) at any time during the Determination Year or the twelve-month period immediately preceding the Determination Year (the “Look-Back Year”); or

		(b)	for the Look-Back Year, receives compensation (within the meaning of section 414(q)(4) of the Code; “compensation” for purposes of this Paragraph) in excess of $80,000 (with such amount to be adjusted automatically to reflect any cost-of-living adjustments authorized by section 414(q)(1) of the Code) during the Look-Back Year.

For the purposes of the preceding sentence, (i) all employers aggregated with the Employer under section 414(b), (c), (m), or (o) of the Code shall be treated as a single employer and (ii) a former Employee who had a separation year (generally, the Determination Year such Employee separates from service) prior to the Determination Year and who was an active Highly Compensated Employee for either such separation year or any Determination Year ending on or after such Employee’s fifty-fifth birthday shall be deemed to be a Highly Compensated Employee.

A Period of Service shall also include any period required to be credited as a Period of Service by federal law other than ERISA or the Code, but only under the conditions and to the extent so required by such federal law.  Further, to the extent required by section 414(n) of the Code and the applicable interpretative authority thereunder, an individual’s Period of Service shall include any period for which such individual was a Leased Worker (or would have been a Leased Worker but for the requirements of clause (a) of the definition of such term set forth in Section 1.1(34)).

CONTRIBUTIONS

	3.1.	Basic Contributions.

Commencing with the date as of which he becomes a Member, each Member may elect to defer (a) an integral percentage of from 1% to 50% (or such lesser percentage as may be prescribed from time to time by the Company) of his Regular Compensation for a Plan Year, and (b) an integral percentage of from 1% to 50% (or such lesser percentage as may be prescribed from time to time by the Company) of his Bonus Compensation for a Plan Year, by having his Employer contribute the amounts so deferred to the Plan.  In restriction of the Members’ elections provided in Section 2.3, this Section, and Section 4.8, and except to the extent permitted under Section 3.5 and Section 414(v) of the Code, the Basic Contributions and the elective deferrals (within the meaning of Section 402(g)(3) of the Code) under all other plans, contracts and arrangements of the Employer on behalf of any Member for any calendar year shall not exceed the dollar limitation contained in Section 402(g) of the Code in effect for such calendar year.  If a Member elects to have such Basic Contributions made on his behalf, his Compensation shall be reduced by the percentage(s) he elects pursuant to the terms of the Compensation reduction authorization described in Section 2.3 or 4.8.  Unless specifically provided otherwise in the Plan, each Member who is an Eligible Employee may elect to have Basic Contributions made on his behalf to the Plan.  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.1, (x) Basic Contributions made with respect to a Plan Year on behalf of Highly Compensated Employees shall not exceed the limitations set forth in Section 4.1 and (y) notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the provisions of the Plan permitting separate elections as to Regular Compensation and Bonus Compensation shall be made available to eligible Members when applicable payroll and administrative procedures have been implemented, as determined by the Committee in its discretion and, until such time, a Member’s election to defer Compensation under the Plan shall apply to all his Compensation (subject to the applicable Plan and Code-based limitations on such deferrals).

Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph, an Eligible Employee who is initially employed (or is reemployed) by an Employer on or after September 30, 2013 and who is eligible to elect to make Basic Contributions to the Plan pursuant to this Section 3.1, shall be deemed to have elected to defer as Basic Contributions an amount equal to 6% of his Compensation on a payroll period basis effective on the first day of the Eligible Employee’s employment by an Employer (or such later date as may be required by the Department of Labor), provided that such Eligible Employee has been provided notice of such automatic enrollment sent by the Committee (or its designee), in the form and manner prescribed by the Committee which shall be intended to comply with the notice requirements under Section 514(e) of ERISA and any regulations or guidance issued thereunder.

	3.2.	Matching Contributions.

On behalf of each Member, such Member’s Employer shall cause to be paid to the Trustee as its Matching Contribution hereunder for each payroll period an amount which equals 100 percent of the Basic Contributions, including catch-up contributions made pursuant to Section 3.5, for such payroll period which are attributable to the first six percent of the Compensation of each such Member for such payroll period.  In addition to the Matching Contributions made pursuant to the preceding sentence, for each Plan Year, on behalf of each Member who made Basic Contributions during such Plan Year, such Member’s Employer shall cause to be paid to the Trustee, as additional Matching Contributions hereunder, an amount equal to the difference, if any, between (1) the amount that is equal to 100% of the Basic Contributions, including catch-up contributions made pursuant to Section 3.5, for such Plan Year which are attributable to the first six percent of the Compensation of such Member and (2) the Matching Contributions for such Member for such Plan Year that were made pursuant to the preceding sentence.

	3.3.	Rollover Contributions.

With the approval of the Committee and in accordance with procedures established by the Committee, a Member may elect to make a Rollover Contribution to the Plan by delivering, or causing to be delivered, to the Trustee the assets in cash which constitute such Rollover Contribution at such time or times and in such manner as shall be specified by the Committee.  All Rollover Contributions shall be made in cash; provided, however, that in connection with a merger or acquisition by an Employer, the Committee may permit, in its sole discretion, in accordance with procedures established by the Committee, that Rollover Contributions of outstanding plan loans that are not in default may be made in kind.  Upon receipt by the Trustee, such assets shall be credited to a Rollover/Transfer Account established on behalf of such Member and shall be deposited in the Fund or Funds selected by the Member as indicated on his investment election filed with the Committee by the Member.  Such election shall specify a combination of investment selections among such Funds, in increments of integral percentages which, in the aggregate, equal 100 percent.  A Rollover Contribution by a Member pursuant to this Section 3.3 shall not be deemed to be a contribution of such Member for any purpose of the Plan and shall be fully vested in the Member at all times.

	3.4.	Transferred Contributions.

The Committee may cause the transfer to the Trustee of funds representing the vested account balances (hereinafter referred to as “Transferred Contributions”) of Members held by a funding agent of a tax-qualified plan (hereinafter referred to as a “transferor plan”) in which such Members previously participated; provided, however, that such transfer shall be made at such time or times and in such manner as shall be specified by the Committee in accordance with procedures established by the Committee; and provided further that the Committee shall ensure that (i) no such transfer shall occur from a transferor plan on behalf of a Member who was at any time a five percent owner of the employer maintaining such transferor plan; and (ii) no portion of such transfer shall be composed of assets attributable to deductible employee contributions.  The Trustee shall credit the Rollover/Transfer Account of any Member on whose behalf such funds were transferred and shall deposit such funds in the Fund or Funds selected by the Member as indicated on his investment election filed with his Employer by such Member.  Such election shall specify a combination of investment selections among the Funds, in increments of integral percentages which, in the aggregate, equal 100 percent.  The portion of the Rollover/Transfer Account of a Member attributable to Transferred Contributions shall be fully vested in such Member at all times.

Such catch-up contributions shall not be taken into account for purposes of the provisions of the Plan implementing the required limitations of Sections 402(g) and 415 of the Code, as described, respectively, in Sections 3.1 and 16.3 of the Plan.  The Plan shall not be treated as failing to satisfy the provisions of the Plan implementing the requirements of Section 401(k)(3), 401(k)(11), 401(k)(12), 410(b) or 416 of the Code, as applicable, by reason of the making of such catch-up contributions.  Catch-up contributions made by a Member pursuant to this Section 3.5 shall be treated as Basic Contributions for all purposes of the Plan except as otherwise specifically provided; provided, however, that catch-up contributions shall not be subject to the maximum percentage deferral limit that applies to Basic Contributions pursuant to Section 3.1.

	3.6.	Retirement Contributions.

Each Employer shall cause to be paid to the Trustee as its Retirement Contributions hereunder for each payroll period an amount which equals 3% of the Compensation received by each Member for such payroll period.  Retirement Contributions shall be made without regard to current or accumulated profits of the Employer.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Plan is intended to qualify as a profit sharing plan for purposes of sections 401(a), 402, 412, and 417 of the Code.

	3.7.	Effect of Plan Termination or Withdrawal.

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, the termination of the Plan or the withdrawal of an Employer from the Plan shall terminate the liability of the Employer or such Employer, respectively, to make further Matching Contributions and Retirement Contributions hereunder.

Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of the Plan, distributions pursuant to this Section 4.2 shall be (i) adjusted for income or loss allocated thereto through the last day of the Plan Year to which such excess deferrals relate in the manner determined by the Company in accordance with any method permissible under applicable Treasury regulations and (ii) made proportionately from the Separate Accounts to which Basic Contributions were made for the applicable Plan Year.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Member who makes such change(s) shall be limited to the percentage of his Compensation that does not exceed the applicable limitations set forth in Section 3.1, and, if applicable, Section 3.5.

	5.3.	Elimination of Funds.

Notwithstanding any provision in this Article V to the contrary, in the event any one or more of the Funds (other than the Common Stock Fund) is eliminated as an investment fund by the Committee, each Member and Inactive Member who has an investment election in effect that designates such investment fund for the investment of amounts allocated to such individual’s Separate Accounts, shall designate a continuing Fund or Funds made available under the Plan pursuant to Section 6.2 for the investment of such amounts; provided, however, that in the event such individual fails to make such a designation, such contributions or amounts shall be invested in a the Fund or Funds designated by the Committee in a uniform and nondiscriminatory manner.

ARTICLE VI

ESTABLISHMENT OF FUNDS AND MEMBERS’ ACCOUNTS

	6.1.	Investment Responsibility.

The Plan is intended to constitute a plan described in Section 404(c) of ERISA and DOL Regs. Section 2550.404c-1 and insofar as the Plan complies with said Section 404(c), Plan fiduciaries shall be relieved of liability for any losses which are the direct result of investment instructions given by Members, Inactive Members, and Beneficiaries.

	6.2.	Establishment and Maintenance of Funds.

The Committee shall cause at least three Funds to be established and maintained at all times. Each such Fund shall be diversified and shall have different risk and return characteristics from the other Funds.  Any Fund that invests primarily in investments with restrictions regarding Funds to which investment transfers may be made or to which a minimum investment period is applicable shall not be considered as one of such requisite three Funds.  The Funds established by the Committee pursuant to this Section 6.2 shall be in addition to the Common Stock Fund, which shall be established and maintained pursuant to Section 6.3.

	6.3.	Common Stock Fund.

A Common Stock Fund shall be established, and it is the express intention of the Company, as the settlor of the Plan, that it be maintained at all times under the Plan. The assets of the Common Stock Fund shall be invested by the Trustee solely in Common Stock; provided, however, that the Common Stock Fund may hold an amount of cash to the extent required in lieu of holding fractional shares of Common Stock.  The Trustee shall receive Common Stock from the Company or purchase Common Stock in the market.  The Common Stock Fund is mandated under the Plan as a matter of Plan design, and it is the express intention of the Company, as the settlor of the Plan, to afford Members, Inactive Members, Beneficiaries and alternate payees the opportunity to invest in Common Stock through their Separate Accounts under the Plan.  None of the Executive Committee, the Committee, the Company or any of its officers, directors or employees either encourages or discourages investment in the Common Stock Fund.  Members, Inactive Members, Beneficiaries and alternate payees should understand that the Common Stock Fund is only one of several Funds offered for the investment of Separate Accounts under the Plan and that they are free to invest in any Fund, and to determine, in their own discretion, whether or not to invest in any Fund (including, without limitation, the Common Stock Fund).  All Members, Inactive Members, Beneficiaries and alternate payees whose Separate Accounts are invested in the Common Stock Fund, or who are considering investing their Separate Accounts in the Common Stock Fund, should understand that:  (1) the Common Stock Fund represents the investment in the equity securities of a single company and, therefore, may be inherently subject to wider price swings, up and down and in shorter periods of time, than other Funds offered under the Plan, (2) the Common Stock Fund should be viewed as a long term investment option which will be maintained under the Plan indefinitely, and (3) the fiduciaries of the Plan will not override any instructions that Members, Inactive Members, Beneficiaries and alternate payees may provide requesting that all or part of their Separate Accounts be invested in the Common Stock Fund nor can they act to eliminate or otherwise restrict the inclusion of the Common Stock Fund as a Fund offered under the Plan.

 

21

	6.4.	Income on Trust Funds.

Unless specifically provided otherwise in the Plan or the Trust Agreement, any dividends, interest, distributions, or other income received by the Trustee in respect of a Fund shall be reinvested by the Trustee in the Fund with respect to which such income was received by it.

	6.5.	Separate Accounts.

Each Member shall have established in his name Separate Accounts which shall be dependent upon the manner in which the assets of his Basic, Supplemental, Matching, Retirement and Rollover/Transfer Accounts are invested.

	6.6.	Voting of Common Stock in the Common Stock Fund.

Each Member or Beneficiary who has shares of Common Stock allocated to his Separate Accounts shall be a named fiduciary with respect to the voting of Common Stock held thereunder and shall have the following powers and responsibilities:

		(a)	Prior to each annual or special meeting of the shareholders of the Company, the Committee shall cause to be sent to each Member and Beneficiary who has Common Stock allocated to his Separate Accounts and invested in the Common Stock Fund under the Plan a copy of the proxy solicitation material therefor, together with a form requesting confidential voting instructions, with respect to the voting of such Common Stock as well as the voting of Common Stock for which the Trustee does not receive instructions.  Each such Member and/or Beneficiary shall instruct the Trustee to vote the number of such uninstructed shares of Common Stock equal to the proportion that the number of shares of Common Stock allocated to his Separate Accounts and invested in the Common Stock Fund bears to the total number of shares of Common Stock in the Plan for which instructions are received.  Upon receipt of such a Member’s or Beneficiary’s instructions, the Trustee shall then vote in person, or by proxy, such shares of Common Stock as so instructed.

 

22

		(b)	The Committee shall cause the Trustee to furnish to each Member and Beneficiary who has Common Stock allocated to his Separate Accounts and invested in the Common Stock Fund under the Plan notice of any tender or exchange offer for, or a request or invitation for tenders or exchanges  of, Common Stock made to the Trustee.  The Trustee shall request from each such Member and Beneficiary instructions as to the tendering or exchanging of Common Stock allocated to his Separate Accounts and invested in the Common Stock Fund and the tendering or exchanging of Common Stock for which the Trustee does not receive instructions.  Each such Member shall instruct the Trustee with respect to the tendering or exchanging of Common Stock for which the Trustee does not receive instructions.  Each such Member shall instruct the Trustee with respect to the tendering or exchanging of the number of such uninstructed shares of Common Stock equal to the proportion that the number of the shares of Common Stock allocated to his Separate Accounts and invested in the Common Stock Fund bears to the total number of shares of Common Stock in the Plan for which instructions are received.  The Trustee shall provide Members and Beneficiaries with a reasonable period of time in which they may consider any such tender or exchange offer for, or request or invitation for tenders or exchanges of, Common Stock made to the Trustee.  Within the time specified by the Trustee, the Trustee shall tender or exchange such Common Stock as to which the Trustee has received instructions to tender or exchange from Members and Beneficiaries.

		(c)	Instructions received from Members and Beneficiaries by the Trustee regarding the voting, tendering, or exchanging of Common Stock shall be held in strictest confidence and shall not be divulged to any other person, including officers or employees of the Company, except as otherwise required by law, regulation or lawful process.

 

23

ARTICLE VII

VESTING

	7.1.	Vesting in Basic, Supplemental, Matching, and Rollover/Transfer Accounts.

A Member shall be 100 percent vested in the balance of his Basic, Supplemental, Matching, and Rollover/Transfer Accounts.

	7.2.	Vesting in Retirement Contributions.

A Member shall be vested in the balance of his Retirement Account in accordance with the following schedule:

	
Years of Vesting Service

	
Vested Percentage

	 	 
	
Less than 3

	
0%

	
3 or more

	
100%

Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence of one of the events hereinafter listed while a Member is an Employee, such Member shall be 100% vested in the balance of his Retirement Account:

		(i)	attainment of Retirement Age;

		(ii)	death; or

		(iii)	Permanent and Total Disability.

	7.3.	Forfeitures.

At the time a Member or Inactive Member terminates employment with the Company and its Controlled Entities prior to attaining Retirement Age for any reason other than Permanent and Total Disability or death, only his vested interest in his Retirement Account shall be distributable pursuant to the provisions of Sections 10.2, 10.3, and 10.4 and his unvested interest shall be governed by the following provisions.

		(a)	The unvested portion of such a Member’s Retirement Account shall be forfeited at the earliest of the following:

		(i)	the date on which the Member’s entire vested interest in his Retirement Account is considered distributed under paragraph (c) below; or

		(ii)	the date such Member completes a Period of Severance of five consecutive years; or

		(iii)	the date of the Member’s death.

		(b)	Forfeitures from Retirement Accounts shall be applied against the Employer’s next contribution obligation with respect to Retirement Contributions under the Plan.

 

24

		(c)	A zero vested balance of a Member or Inactive Member shall be treated as though it were distributed immediately when employment terminates.

		(d)	If a Member or Inactive Member is reemployed prior to completing a Period of Severance of five consecutive years but after a forfeiture under paragraph (a) above because of an imputed distribution, the forfeited amount(s), unadjusted for interim gains or losses, shall be subject to restoration under paragraph (e).

		(e)	Amount(s) subject to restoration under paragraph (d) shall be credited to the Member’s Retirement Account upon reemployment and shall be made from the assets of a special contribution of the Company which shall not constitute an “annual addition” within the meaning of Section 415 of the Code.

	7.4.	Election of Former Vesting Schedule.

In the event the Committee adopts an amendment to the Plan that directly or indirectly affects the computation of a Member’s nonforfeitable interest in his Retirement Account, any Member who is credited with three or more years of Vesting Service shall have a right to have his nonforfeitable interest in such account as of the effective date of the amendment continue to be determined under the vesting schedule in effect prior to such amendment rather than under the new vesting schedule, unless the nonforfeitable interest of such Member in such account under the Plan, as amended, at any time is not less than such account interest determined without regard to such amendment.  A Member shall exercise such right by giving written notice of his exercise thereof to the Committee within 60 days after the latest of (i) the date he received notice of such amendment from the Committee, (ii) the effective date of the amendment, or (iii) the date the amendment is adopted.  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.4, the vested interest of each Member on the effective date of such amendment shall not be less than his vested interest under the Plan through the later of the effective date or the date the Plan amendment is adopted.

	7.5.	Vesting Service.

Subject to the provisions of Sections 7.7 and 7.8, for each Plan Year beginning on or after the Effective Date, a Member shall be credited with Vesting Service in an amount equal to his aggregate Periods of Service whether or not such Periods of Service are completed consecutively and regardless of when completed.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding sentence, (1) if a Member terminates his Service (at a time other than during a leave of absence) and subsequently resumes his Service, if his Reemployment Date is within twelve months of his Severance Date, such Period of Severance shall be treated as a Period of Service for purposes of this Section, and (2) if a Member terminates his Service during a leave of absence and subsequently resumes his Service, if his Reemployment Date is within twelve months of the beginning of such leave of absence, such Period of Severance shall be treated as a Period of Service for purposes of the preceding sentence.

	7.6.	Transfers.

Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7.5, years of Vesting Service credited to a person shall be subject to the following:

 

25

		(a)	Any person who transfers or re-transfers to employment with an Employer as an Eligible Employee directly from other employment (i) with the Employer in a capacity other than as an Employee or (ii) with a Controlled Entity, shall be credited with years of Vesting Service, for such other employment as if such other employment were employment with an Employer as an Eligible Employee for the entire period of employment.

		(b)	Any person who transfers from employment with an Employer as an Eligible Employee directly to other employment (i) with an Employer in a capacity other than as an Eligible Employee or (ii) with a Controlled Entity, shall be deemed by such transfer not to lose his credited years of Vesting Service, and shall be deemed not to retire or otherwise terminate his employment until such time as he is no longer in the employment of a Controlled Entity, at which time he shall become entitled to benefits, if he is otherwise eligible therefor under the provisions of the Plan; provided, however, that up to such time he shall receive credit for years of Vesting Service for such other employment as if such other employment were employment with the Employer as an Eligible Employee.

	7.7.	Loss and Reinstatement of Years of Vesting Service.

Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Section 7.7, a Member’s years of Vesting Service to be taken into account in determining his vested interest in his Retirement Account shall be lost if he retires or if his employment with an Employer and its Controlled Entities terminates for any other reason and, if he thereafter returns to employment as an Eligible Employee, he shall be treated for Plan purposes as a new Eligible Employee.  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, a retired or former Member who returns to employment with an Employer or a Controlled Entity shall be reinstated with the years of Vesting Service with which he was credited at the time of his prior retirement or other termination of employment if:

		(a)	he was eligible for a benefit from his Retirement Account, or he had an amount greater than zero credited to his Basic Account, his Matching Account, or his Supplemental Account at the time of his previous retirement or other termination of employment, or

		(b)	he terminated his employment before satisfying the conditions of eligibility for a benefit from his Retirement Account, and with no amount then credited to his Basic Account, his Matching Account, or his Supplemental Account and he is reemployed by an Employer or a Controlled Entity before he incurs a Period of Severance that equals or exceeds the greater of five years or his aggregate Period of Service completed before such Period of Severance.

Years of Vesting Service which are reinstated under this Section 7.7 shall be reinstated in accordance with and subject to all applicable provisions of the Plan with respect to reemployment.

 

26

	7.8.	Prior Plan Vesting and Forfeitures.

A Member or an Inactive Member whose Separate Account includes amounts that were transferred to the Plan in connection with a plan merger or plan-to-plan transfer shall be subject to the additional vesting and forfeiture provisions, if any, as specified in an Addendum.

	7.9.	Finality of Determinations.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article VII, there shall be no duplication of years of Vesting Service credited to an Employee for any one period of his employment with an Employer or a Controlled Entity.  All determinations with respect to the crediting of years of Vesting Service under the Plan shall be made on the basis of the records of the Employers, and all determinations so made shall be final and conclusive upon Eligible Employees, former Eligible Employees, and all other persons claiming a benefit interest under the Plan.  In addition, the Committee shall have the exclusive responsibility with respect to determining the amount of Basic, Matching, and Retirement Contributions, and any adjustment thereto to comply with the terms of the Plan or the Code.  A determination so made shall be final and conclusive upon the Employer, all Members, and Beneficiaries.

 

27

ARTICLE VIII

WITHDRAWALS WHILE EMPLOYED

	8.1.	Withdrawals Prior to Age 591⁄2.

Subject to the provisions in this Section 8.1, a Member or an Inactive Member who is receiving compensation from a Controlled Entity and who has not attained age 591⁄2, may:

		(a)	file a written request with the Committee in the form and within the time period prescribed by the Committee for a withdrawal of an amount credited to his Separate Accounts attributable to Basic, Rollover, Supplemental and Transferred Contributions.  Such withdrawal shall be permitted only if (i) the reason for the withdrawal is to enable the Member to meet an immediate and heavy financial need which meets the requirements of Section 401(k) of the Code and regulations thereunder and which cannot be reasonably relieved from other sources, including but not limited to sources outside the Plan and all other accounts and available nontaxable loans under the Plan; provided, however, that a Member shall not be required to take actions that would have the effect of increasing the amount of the need or to take commercial loans that are not available on reasonable commercial terms, and (ii) would not exceed the lesser of the balance of such Separate Accounts or the amount required to meet the need for which the withdrawal is requested.  The amount required to meet the immediate and heavy financial need may include any amounts necessary to pay any federal, state, or local income taxes or penalties reasonably anticipated to result from the distribution.  If the Committee approves such request, such withdrawal shall be made from a Member’s Separate Accounts in accordance with procedures established by the Committee.  A withdrawal shall be deemed to be made on account of an immediate and heavy financial need of a Member if the withdrawal is for:

		(1)	Expenses for medical care described in Section 213(d) of the Code previously incurred by the Member, the Member’s spouse, or any dependents of the Member (as defined in Section 152 of the Code and determined without regard to Section 152(b)(1), (b)(2), or (d)(1)(B) of the Code) or necessary for those persons to obtain medical care described in Section 213(d) of the Code and not reimbursed or reimbursable by insurance, determined without regard to whether such expenses exceed 7.5% of adjusted gross income;

		(2)	Costs directly related to the purchase of a principal residence of the Member (excluding mortgage payments);

		(3)	Payment of tuition and related educational fees, and room and Board expenses, for the next twelve months of post-secondary education for the Member or the Member’s spouse, children, or dependents (as defined in Section 152 of the Code and determined without regard to Section 152(b)(1), (b)(2), or (d)(1)(B) of the Code);

 

28

		(4)	Payments necessary to prevent the eviction of the Member from his principal residence or foreclosure on the mortgage of the Member’s principal residence; or

		(5)	Payments for burial or funeral expenses for the Member’s deceased parent, spouse, children or dependents (as defined in Section 152 of the Code and without regard to Section 152(d)(1)(B) of the Code);

		(6)	Expenses for the repair of damage to the Member’s principal residence that would qualify for the casualty deduction under Section 165 of the Code (determined without regard to whether the loss exceed 10% of the Member’s adjusted gross income); or

		(7)	Such other financial needs that the Commissioner of Internal Revenue may deem to be immediate and heavy financial needs through the publication of revenue rulings, notices, and other documents of general applicability.

The above notwithstanding, withdrawals under this Paragraph from a Member’s Basic Account shall be limited to the sum of the Member’s Basic Contributions to the Cameron International Corporation Retirement Savings Plan, plus income allocable thereto and credited to the Member’s Basic Account as of the Valuation Date coincident with or next preceding December 31, 1988, less any previous withdrawals of such amounts.

		(b)	file a request with the Committee in the form and within the time period prescribed by the Committee for a withdrawal of an amount credited to his Supplemental Account.

		(c)	file a request with the Committee in the form and within the time period prescribed by the Committee for a withdrawal of his Rollover Contributions (along with any earnings and net of any losses attributable thereto).

	8.2.	Withdrawals After Age 591⁄2.

Subject to the provisions of this Section 8.2, a Member or an Inactive Member who is receiving compensation from a Controlled Entity and who has attained  at least age 591⁄2, may file a written request with his Employer in the form and within the time period prescribed by the Committee for a withdrawal of an amount credited to his Separate Accounts; provided, however, that such a Member may request a withdrawal of amounts credited to his Separate Accounts only to the extent of his vested interest in such amounts, as determined in accordance with Section 7.2.  A withdrawal made pursuant to this Section 8.2 shall be made from a Member’s or Inactive Member’s Separate Accounts as elected by such Member or Inactive Member.

	8.3.	Form of Withdrawals.

All withdrawals made from Separate Accounts invested in the Funds, other than the Common Stock Fund, shall be in the form of cash.  All withdrawals made from Separate Accounts invested in the Common Stock Fund shall be in the form of Common Stock or cash, as elected by the Member; provided, however, that the value of any fractional shares of Common Stock shall be distributed in the form of cash.  Any withdrawal hereunder which constitutes an Eligible Rollover Distribution shall be subject to the direct rollover election described in Section 10.9.

 

29

	8.4.	Withdrawals of Prior Plan Amounts.

In addition to all other withdrawal rights available pursuant to this Article VIII, a Member or an Inactive Member whose Separate Account includes amounts that were transferred to the Plan in connection with a plan merger or plan-to-plan transfer and who is receiving Compensation from a Controlled Entity shall have the additional withdrawal rights, if any, as specified in an Addendum.

	8.5.	No Restriction from Making Basic Contributions.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, no Member shall be restricted from making Basic Contributions under the Plan by reason of having received a withdrawal of amounts credited to his Separate Accounts prior to his severance from employment with the Company and its Controlled Entities.

30

ARTICLE IX

LOANS

	9.1.	Eligibility for Loan.

Upon application by (1) any Member who (a) is on the United States payroll of the Employer and (b) is receiving compensation other than severance pay from a Controlled Entity, or (2) any Member (x) who is a party-in-interest, as that term is defined in section 3(14) of ERISA, as to the Plan, (y) who is no longer employed by the Employer, who is a beneficiary of a deceased Member, or who is an alternate payee under a qualified domestic relations order, as that term is defined in section 414(p)(8) of the Code, and (z) who retains a balance in his Separate Account under the Plan (an individual who is eligible to apply for a loan under this Article being hereinafter referred to as a “Member”), the Committee may in its discretion direct the Trustee to make a loan or loans to such Member provided that the Committee has confirmed that such Member has not had an outstanding loan from the Plan for at least one month and provided further that the Committee has determined that such a loan from the Plan to such Member is not prohibited by applicable law.  Such loans shall be made pursuant to the provisions of the Plan’s written loan procedure, as adopted and amended from time to time by the Committee, which procedure is hereby incorporated by reference as a part of the Plan.

	9.2.	Maximum Loan.

		(a)	A loan to a Member may not exceed 50% of the nonforfeitable balance of such Member’s Separate Accounts (excluding his Retirement Account).

		(b)	Paragraph (a) above to the contrary notwithstanding, the amount of a loan made to a Member under this Article shall not exceed an amount equal to the difference between:

		(i)	The lesser of $50,000 (reduced by the excess, if any, of (A) the highest outstanding balance of loans from the Plan during the one-year period ending on the day before the date on which the loan is made over (B) the outstanding balance of loans from the Plan on the date on which the loan is made) or one-half of the present value of the Member’s total nonforfeitable accrued benefit under all qualified plans of the Employer or a Controlled Entity; minus

		(ii)	The total outstanding loan balance of the Member under all other loans from all qualified plans of the Employer or a Controlled Entity.

	9.3.	Loans from Prior Plan Amounts.

In addition to all other loan rights available pursuant to this Article IX, a Member or an Inactive Member whose Separate Account includes amounts that were transferred to the Plan in connection with a plan merger or plan-to-plan transfer and who is receiving Compensation from a Controlled Entity shall have the additional loan rights, if any, as specified in an Addendum.

 

31

ARTICLE X

DISTRIBUTION ON RETIREMENT OR OTHER TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT

	10.1.	Eligibility for Distribution.

Upon termination of employment with the Controlled Entities, each Member and Inactive Member shall be entitled to receive the entire interest of his Basic, Supplemental, Matching, and Rollover/Transfer Accounts and the vested interest of his Retirement Account, if any, in accordance with his provisions of Sections 10.2 and 10.3.  Notwithstanding the provisions of the Plan regarding availability of distributions from the Plan upon “termination of employment,” a Member’s vested interest in his Separate Accounts shall be distributed on account of the Member’s “severance from employment” as such term is used in Section 401(k)(2)(B)(i)(I) of the Code.  If a Member’s employment status changes from that of a common law employee of the Employer to a Leased Employee, such Participant shall not be deemed to have a “severance from employment” and, therefore, will not be eligible for a distribution under the Plan as a result of such employment status change.  Further, a Member’s deemed severance from employment pursuant to Section 414(u)(12)(B)(i) shall not be a “severance from employment” for purposes of this Section 10.1, and, therefore, such Member shall not be eligible for a distribution under the Plan as a result of such deemed severance.

	10.2.	Distribution of Separate Accounts.

Subject to the provisions of Section 10.3, the Committee shall direct the Trustee to make distribution to a Member or Inactive Member, who becomes eligible to receive the vested interest of his Separate Accounts pursuant to the provisions of Section 10.1 in the manner hereinafter set forth.

		(a)	Distributions of $1,000 or Less.  If the value of the vested interest of a Member or Inactive Member in his Separate Accounts is $1,000 or less (or $5,000 or less in the case of a distribution after a Member’s death), distribution thereof shall be made to such a Member (or his Beneficiary, as applicable) as soon as practicable in a single sum payment.

		(b)	Distributions of More than $1,000 But Not More Than $5,000.  If the value of the vested interest of a Member or Inactive Member in his Separate Accounts is more than $1,000 but not more than $5,000, such Member may elect to receive distribution of such Accounts as soon as practicable in a single sum payment at any time prior to attainment of age 701⁄2; provided, however, distribution after a Member’s death may be made without consent pursuant to Section 10.2(a) if the value of the vested interest in his Account(s) is $5,000 or less.  Such election may be made without the consent of such Member’s spouse, if any.  In the event of a distribution pursuant to this Section 10.2(b), if the Member does not elect to have such distribution paid directly to an Eligible Retirement Plan specified by the Member in a direct rollover in accordance with Section 10.9 or to receive the distribution directly in accordance with this Section 10.2(b), then the Plan Administrator will direct the Trustee to pay the distribution in a direct rollover to an individual retirement plan designated by the Plan Administrator.

 

32

		(c)	Distributions of Over $5,000.  If the value of the vested interest of a Member or Inactive Member in his Separate Accounts is in excess of $5,000 such Member may elect to receive distribution of his Separate Accounts in a single sum payment at any time prior to attainment of age 701⁄2.  No less than thirty days (unless such thirty-day period is waived by an affirmative election in accordance with applicable Treasury regulations) and no more than 180 days before the date a Member’s Plan interest is to be distributable to him, the Committee shall inform the Member of his right to defer the distribution of his benefit and shall describe the Member’s Eligible Rollover Distribution election rights pursuant to Section 10.9.  Such information shall also describe for the Member the consequences of failing to defer the distribution of his Plan interest.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such distribution may be made to a Member or Inactive Member prior to Retirement Age, unless such Member consents in writing to such distribution.

		(d)	Disregard of Rollover Contributions for Valuation of Involuntary Cash Outs in Certain Cases.  For purposes of application of the $5,000 threshold of Sections 10.2(a), 10.2(b), 10.2(c) and 12.5, the value of a Member’s vested interest in his Separate Accounts shall be determined without regard to that portion of such accounts which is attributable to Rollover Contributions (and earnings allocable thereto) within the meaning of Sections 402(c), 403(a)(4), 403(b)(8), 408(d)(3)(A)(ii) and 457(e)(16) of the Code.  If the value of a Member’s Separate Accounts as so determined is $5,000 or less, the Member’s entire nonforfeitable account balance (including amounts attributable to such Rollover Contributions) shall be distributable pursuant to an election under Section 10.2(b) or distributed pursuant to Section 10.2(a) or 12.5, as applicable.

	10.3.	Time and Form of Distribution.

Unless the Member or Inactive Member otherwise elects (or is deemed to elect otherwise because the present value of such Member’s nonforfeitable benefit exceeds $5,000 and he fails to consent to a distribution while his benefit is immediately distributable within the  meaning of Treasury Regulations), the payment of benefits under the Plan to such Member shall begin no later than the 60th day after the close of the Plan Year in which the latest of the following events occurs:

		(i)	The date on which such Member attains age 65;

		(ii)	The tenth anniversary of the date on which such Member commenced participation in the Plan; and

		(iii)	The date on which such Member terminates service with the Controlled entities.

All single sum distributions shall be made in cash; provided, however, a Member (or, if authorized by the Member, his designated beneficiary or legal representative in the case of a deceased Member), may elect to have the portion of his Accounts that is then invested in the Common Stock Fund distributed in whole shares of Common Stock, with any partial shares to be distributed in cash.

 

33

	10.4.	Limitation on Commencement of Distribution.

Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary, all distributions required under this Article X shall be determined and made in accordance with the regulations under Section 401(a)(9) of the Code, including the minimum distribution incidental benefit requirements of Section 1.401(a)(9)-2 of the regulations.  Accordingly, the entire interest of a Member or Inactive Member in his Separate Accounts must be distributed, or must begin to be distributed, no later than such Member’s Mandatory Distribution Date.  The Mandatory Distribution Date of a Member or Inactive Member shall be determined as follows:

		(i)	The Mandatory Distribution Date of such a Member who attains age 701⁄2 shall be the first day of April of the calendar year following the later of (A) the calendar year in which such Member attains age 701⁄2 or (B) the calendar year in which such Member terminates his employment with the Employer (provided, however, that Clause (B) of this sentence shall not apply in the case of a Member who is a “five-percent Owner” (as defined in section 416 of the Code) with respect to the Plan Year ending in the calendar year in which such Member attains age 701⁄2).

		(ii)	The Mandatory Distribution Date of a Member who dies before another Mandatory Distribution Date shall be (A) if payable to other than the Member’s spouse, the last day of the one-year period following the death of such Member or (B) if payable to the Member’s spouse, after the date upon which such Member would have attained age 70-1/2, unless such surviving spouse dies before payments commence, in which case the Mandatory Distribution Date may not be deferred beyond the last day of the one-year period following the death of such surviving spouse.

Minimum distributions shall be determined in accordance with Section 10.12.

	10.5.	Restriction on Alienation.

Except as provided in Sections 401(a)(13)(B) and 414(p) of the Code relating to qualified domestic relations orders, no benefit under the Plan at any time shall be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, assignment (either at law or in equity), encumbrance, garnishment, levy, execution, or other legal or equitable process.  No person shall have power in any manner to anticipate, transfer, assign (either at law or in equity), alienate, or subject to attachment, garnishment, levy, execution, or other legal or equitable process, or in any way encumber his benefits under the Plan, or any part thereof, and any attempt to do so shall be void.

	10.6.	Payments to Incompetents or Minors.

In the event that it shall be found that any individual to whom an amount is payable hereunder is incapable of attending to his financial affairs because of any mental or physical condition, including the infirmities of advanced age, or is a minor, such amount (unless prior claim therefor shall have been made a duly qualified guardian or other legal representative) may, in the discretion of the Committee, be paid to a duly appointed guardian or to another person for the use or benefit of the individual found incapable of attending to his financial affairs or in satisfaction of legal obligations incurred by or on behalf of such individual.  The Trustee shall make such payment only upon receipt of written instructions to such effect from the Committee.  Any such payment shall be charged to the Separate Accounts from which any such payment would otherwise have been paid to the individual found to be a minor or incapable of attending to his financial affairs and shall be a complete discharge or any liability therefor under the Plan.

 

34

	10.7.	Commercial Annuities.

In any case where a benefit payable under the Plan is to be paid in the form of a commercial annuity, a commercial annuity contract shall be purchased and distributed to the Member, Inactive Member, or Beneficiary, as the case may be.  Upon the distribution of any such contract, the Plan shall have no further liability with respect to the amount used to purchase the annuity contract and the company issuing such contract shall be solely responsible to the recipient of the contract for the annuity payments thereunder.  All certificates for commercial annuity benefits shall be non-transferable, and no benefit thereunder may be sold, assigned, discounted, or pledged.  Any commercial annuity purchased under the Plan shall contain such terms and provisions as may be necessary to satisfy the requirements under the Plan.

	10.8.	Actuarial Equivalency.

With respect to any benefit payment pursuant to the Plan, whichever form of payment is selected, the value of such benefit shall be the actuarial equivalent of the value of the vested balance of the Separate Accounts to which the particular Member, Inactive Member, or Beneficiary, as the case may be, is entitled.

	10.9.	Eligible Rollover Distributions.

Each Member and Beneficiary who receives an Eligible Rollover Distribution may elect in the time and in a manner prescribed by the Committee to have all or any portion of such Eligible Rollover Distribution transferred to an Eligible Retirement Plan; provided, however, that only one such transfer may be made with respect to an Eligible Rollover distribution to an Eligible Retirement Plan.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Member may elect, after receiving the notice required under Section 402(f) of the Code, to receive such Eligible Rollover Distribution prior to the expiration of the 30-day period beginning on the date such Member is issued such notice; provided that the Member or Beneficiary is permitted to consider his decision for at least 30 days and is advised of such right in writing.

	10.10.	Deferral of Payments.

Subject to the provisions of Section 10.4, but notwithstanding the provisions of any other Section of the Plan to the contrary, a Member whose Plan interest is determined to have a present value more than $1,000 (or more than $5,000 in the case of a deceased Member) shall not receive payment of such interest prior to the later of normal Retirement Age or age 62, unless consented to by the Member in writing.

	10.11.	Lost or Missing Members or Beneficiaries.

In the case of a benefit payable on behalf of a Member, if the Committee is unable to locate the Member or beneficiary to whom such benefit is payable, upon the Committee’s determination thereof, such benefit shall be forfeited.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if subsequent to any such forfeiture the Member or beneficiary to whom such benefit is payable makes a valid claim for such benefit, such forfeited benefit shall be restored to the Plan in the manner provided in Section 7.3.

 

35

	10.12.	Minimum Distribution Requirements.

		(a)	The provisions of this Section 10.12 will take precedence over any inconsistent provisions of the Plan.

		(b)	All distributions required under this Section 10.12 will be determined and made in accordance with the Treasury regulations under Section 401(a)(9) of the Code.

		(c)	Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 10.12, distributions may be made under a designation made before January 1, 1984, in accordance with Section 242(b)(2) of the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act (TEFRA) and the provisions of the Plan that relate to Section 242(b)(2) of TEFRA.

		(d)	The Member’s entire interest will be distributed, or begin to be distributed, to the Member no later than the Member’s Required Beginning Date.  If the Member dies before distributions begin, the Member’s entire interest will be distributed, or begin to be distributed, no later than as follows:

		(1)	If the Member’s surviving spouse is the Member’s sole Designated Beneficiary, then distributions to the surviving spouse will begin by December 31 of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which the Member died, or by December 31 of the calendar year in which the Member would have attained age 701⁄2, if later.

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

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

		(4)	If the Member’s surviving spouse is the Member’s sole Designated Beneficiary and the surviving spouse dies after the Member but before distributions to the surviving spouse begin, this Paragraph (disregarding item (1) above), will apply as if the surviving spouse were the Member.

 

36

For purposes of this Paragraph (d) and Paragraph (f) below, unless item (4) above applies, distributions are considered to begin on the Member’s Required Beginning Date. If item (4) above applies, distributions are considered to begin on the date distributions are required to begin to the surviving spouse under item (1) above. If distributions under an annuity purchased from an insurance company irrevocably commence to the Member before the Member’s Required Beginning Date (or to the Member’s surviving spouse before the date distributions are required to begin to the surviving spouse under item (1) above), the date distributions are considered to begin is the date distributions actually commence.  Unless the Member’s interest is distributed in the form of an annuity purchased from an insurance company or in a single sum on or before the Required Beginning Date, as of the first Distribution Calendar Year distributions will be made in accordance with Paragraphs (e) and (f) of this Section 10.12, whichever is applicable. If the Member’s interest is distributed in the form of an annuity purchased from an insurance company, distributions thereunder will be made in accordance with the requirements of Section 401(a)(9) of the Code and the Treasury regulations.

		(e)	During the Member’s lifetime, the minimum amount that will be distributed for each Distribution Calendar Year is the lesser of:

		(1)	the quotient obtained by dividing the Member’s Account Balance by the distribution period in the Uniform Lifetime Table set forth in Section 1.401(a)(9)-9 of the Treasury regulations, using the Member’s age as of the Member’s birthday in the Distribution Calendar Year; or

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

Required minimum distributions will be determined under this Paragraph (e) beginning with the first Distribution Calendar Year and up to and including the Distribution Calendar Year that includes the Member’s date of death.

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

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

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

 

37

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

If the Member dies on or after the date distributions begin and there is no Designated Beneficiary as of September 30 of the year after the year of the Member’s death, the minimum amount that will be distributed for each Distribution Calendar Year after the year of the Member’s death is the quotient obtained by dividing the Member’s Account Balance by the Member’s remaining Life Expectancy calculated using the age of the Member in the year of death, reduced by one for each subsequent year.

		(g)	If the Member dies before the date distributions begin and there is a Designated Beneficiary, the minimum amount that will be distributed for each Distribution Calendar Year after the year of the Member’s death is the quotient obtained by dividing the Member’s Account Balance by the remaining Life Expectancy of the Member’s Designated Beneficiary, determined as provided in item (1), (2) or (3) of Paragraph (f), whichever is applicable.  If the Member dies before the date distributions begin and there is no Designated Beneficiary as of September 30 of the year following the year of the Member’s death, distribution of the Member’s entire interest will be completed by December 31 of the calendar year containing the fifth anniversary of the Member’s death.  If the Member dies before the date distributions begin, the Member’s surviving spouse is the Member’s sole Designated Beneficiary, and the surviving spouse dies before distributions are required to begin to the surviving spouse under item (1) of Paragraph (d), this Paragraph (g) will apply as if the surviving spouse were the Member.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Member dies before distributions begin and there is a Designated Beneficiary, distribution to the Designated Beneficiary is not required to begin by the date specified in Paragraph (d) above but the Member’s entire interest will be distributed to the Designated Beneficiary by December 31 of the calendar year containing the fifth anniversary of the Member’s death. If the Member’s surviving spouse is the Member’s sole Designated Beneficiary and the surviving spouse dies after the Member but before distributions to either the Member or the surviving spouse begin, this Paragraph will apply as if the surviving spouse were the Member.

		(h)	For purposes of this Section 10.12, the following terms and phrases shall have these respective meanings:

		(1)	Designated Beneficiary:  The individual who is designated as a Member’s beneficiary under Section 11.1 of the Plan and is a Designated Beneficiary under Section 401(a)(9) of the Code and Section 1.401(a)(9)-1, Q&A-4, of the Treasury regulations.

 

38

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

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

		(4)	Member’s Account Balance.  The balance in a Member’s Separate Accounts as of the last Valuation Date in the calendar year immediately preceding the Distribution Calendar Year (valuation calendar year) increased by the amount of any contributions made and allocated or forfeitures allocated to the Member’s Accounts as of dates in the valuation calendar year after the Valuation Date and decreased by distributions made in the valuation calendar year after the Valuation Date. A Member’s Account Balance for the valuation calendar year includes any amounts rolled over or transferred to the Plan either in the valuation calendar year or in the Distribution Calendar Year if distributed or transferred in the valuation calendar year.

		(5)	Requiring Beginning Date.  With respect to a Member or beneficiary, the date described in Section 10.4 of the Plan.

	10.13.	Distribution Rules for Prior Plan Amounts.

A Member or Inactive Member who has terminated employment with the Controlled Entities and whose Separate Account includes amounts that were transferred to the Plan in connection with a plan merger or plan-to-plan transfer, such amounts shall be subject to the distribution provisions of Sections 10.2 and 10.3, except as may be otherwise specified for any such amounts in an Addendum.

39

ARTICLE XI

BENEFICIARIES AND DEATH BENEFITS

	11.1.	Designation of Beneficiary.

In the event of the death of a Member or Inactive Member prior to distribution in full of his interest under the Plan, the spouse, if any, of such Member shall be his Beneficiary and receive distribution of his remaining interest in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.4; provided, however, that a Member or Inactive Member, may designate a person or persons other than his spouse as his Beneficiary if the requirements of Section 11.3 are met.

	11.2.	Beneficiary in the Absence of Designated Beneficiary.

If a Member or Inactive Member who dies does not have a surviving spouse and if no Beneficiary has been designated pursuant to the provisions of Section 11.1, or if no Beneficiary survives such Member, then the Beneficiary shall be the estate of such Member.  If any Beneficiary designated pursuant to Section 11.1 dies after becoming entitled to receive distribution hereunder and before such distributions are made in full, and if no other person or persons have been designated to receive the balance of such distributions upon the happening of such contingency, the estate of such deceased Beneficiary shall become the Beneficiary as to such balance.

	11.3.	Spousal Consent to Beneficiary Designation.

An election to designate a Beneficiary other than the spouse of such Member or Inactive Member shall not be effective unless (A) such spouse has consented thereto in writing and such consent (i) acknowledges the effect of such election, (ii) either consents to the specific designated beneficiary (which designation may not be subsequently changed by the Member or Inactive Member without spousal consent) or expressly permits such designation by the Member or Inactive Member without the requirement of further consent by the spouse, and (iii) is witnessed by a Plan representative (other than the Member, or Inactive Member, as applicable) or a notary public, or (B) the consent of such spouse cannot be obtained because the spouse cannot be located or because of other circumstances described by applicable Treasury regulations.  Any such consent by such spouse shall be irrevocable.

	11.4.	Death Benefits.

In the event of the death of a Member or Inactive Member prior to distribution in full of his interest in the Plan, the Beneficiary of such Member shall receive distribution of such Member’s remaining interest in his Separate Accounts in a single sum to such Member’s Beneficiary.

	11.5.	Beneficiaries and Death Benefits for Prior Plan Amounts.

Upon the death of a Member or Inactive Member whose Separate Account includes amounts that were transferred to the Plan in connection with a plan merger or a plan-to-plan transfer, such amounts shall be subject to the beneficiaries and death benefit provisions of Sections 11.1, 11.2, 11.3 and 11.4, except as may be otherwise specified for any such amounts in an Addendum.

ARTICLE XII

ADMINISTRATION

	12.1.	Plan Administrator.

For purposes of ERISA, the Committee shall be the Plan Administrator and, as such, shall be responsible for the compliance of the Plan with the reporting and disclosure provisions of ERISA.

	12.2.	Authority of the Committee.

The Committee shall have all the powers and authority expressly conferred upon it herein and, further, shall have the sole right, in its discretion, to interpret and construe the Plan, and to determine any disputes arising thereunder, subject to the provisions of Section 7.9.  In exercising such powers and authority, the Committee at all times shall exercise good faith, apply standards of uniform application, and refrain from arbitrary action.  Any decision of the Committee in such exercise of its powers, authorities and duties shall be final and binding upon all affected parties.  The Committee may employ such attorneys, agents, and accountants as it may deem necessary or advisable to assist it in carrying out its duties hereunder.  The Committee shall be a “named fiduciary” as that term is defined in Section 402(a)(2) of ERISA.  The Committee may:

		(a)	allocate any of the powers, authorities, or responsibilities for the operation and administration of the Plan, which are retained by it or granted to it by this Article XII, to the Trustee; and

		(b)	designate a person or persons other than itself to carry out any of such powers, authorities, or responsibilities;

provided, however, that no powers, authorities, or responsibilities of the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of paragraph (b) of this Section 12.2; and provided further, that no allocation or delegation by the Committee of any of its powers, authorities, or responsibilities to the Trustee shall become effective unless such allocation or delegation first shall be accepted by the Trustee in a writing signed by it and delivered to the Committee.

To prevent any two fiduciaries to the Plan from being deemed co-fiduciaries with respect to any particular function, the Plan is intended, and should be construed, to allocate to each fiduciary to the Plan, as applicable, only those specific powers, duties, responsibilities, and obligations as are specifically granted to it under the Plan.  The Plan is intended to allocate to each named fiduciary the individual responsibility for proper execution of the functions assigned to it, and none of such responsibilities or any other responsibility shall be shared by two or more of such named fiduciaries unless such sharing is provided for by a specific provision of the Plan.

	12.3.	Action of the Committee.

Any act authorized, permitted, or required to be taken by the Committee under the Plan, which has not been delegated in accordance with Section 12.2, may be taken by a majority of the members of the Committee, either by vote at a meeting, or in writing without a meeting.  All notices, advices, directions, certifications, approvals, and instructions required or authorized to  be given by the Committee under the Plan shall be in writing and signed by either (i) a majority of the members of the Committee, or by such member or members as may be designated by an instrument in writing, signed by all the members thereof, as having authority to execute such documents on its behalf, or (ii) a person who becomes authorized to act for the Committee in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (b) of Section 12.2.  Subject to the provisions of Section 12.4, any action taken by the Committee which is authorized, permitted, or required under the Plan shall be final and binding upon the Company and the Trustees, all persons who have or who claim an interest under the Plan, and all third parties dealing with any Trustee or the Company.

 

41

	12.4.	Claims Review Procedure.

Claims for Plan benefits and reviews of Plan benefit claims which have been denied or modified will be processed in accordance with the written Plan claims procedures established by the Committee, which procedures are hereby incorporated by reference as a part of the Plan and may be amended from time to time by the Committee.

	12.5.	Qualified Domestic Relations Orders.

Except as otherwise provided with respect to “qualified domestic relations orders” and certain judgments and settlements pursuant to section 206(d) of the Act and sections 401(a)(13) and 414(p) of the Code, and, except as otherwise provided under other applicable law, no right or interest of any kind in any benefit shall be transferable or assignable by any Member or any beneficiary or be subject to anticipation, adjustment, alienation, encumbrance, garnishment, attachment, execution, or levy of any kind.  Plan provisions to the contrary notwithstanding, the Plan shall comply with the terms and provisions of any “qualified domestic relations order,” including an order that requires distributions to an alternate payee prior to a Member’s “earliest retirement age” as such term is defined in section 206(d)(3)(E)(ii) of the Act and section 414(p)(4)(B) of the Code, and the Committee shall establish appropriate procedures to effect the same.  In the event that the total value of an amount directed to be paid pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order is not in excess of $5,000, such amount shall be paid to the recipient or recipients identified in such order in one lump sum payment as soon as practicable after such order has been determined to be a qualified domestic relations order.

	12.6.	Indemnification.

In addition to whatever rights of indemnification the members of the Executive Committee, members of the Committee, or any other person or persons (other than the Trustees or individuals, other than members of the Executive Committee, who are not employed by the Company or its affiliates) to whom any power, authority, or responsibility of the Company is allocated or delegated pursuant to paragraph (b) of Section 12.2, may be entitled under the Master Formation Agreement of the Company, under the Employee Matters Agreement relating to the Company, under any provision of law, or under any other agreement, the Company shall satisfy such liability actually and reasonably incurred by any such member or such other person or persons, including expenses, attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement, in connection with any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding which is related to the exercise, or failure to exercise, by such member or such other person or persons of any of the powers, authorities, responsibilities, or discretion of the Company or the Committee as provided under the Plan and the Trust Agreement, or reasonably believed by such member or such other person or persons to be provided thereunder, and any action taken by such member or such other person or persons in connection therewith.

 

42

	12.7.	Temporary Restrictions.

In order to ensure an orderly transition in the transfer of assets to the Trust from another trust fund maintained under the Plan or from the trust fund of a plan that is merging into the Plan or transferring assets to the Plan or to ensure an orderly transition of recordkeeping, valuation, or other administrative activities from one service provider to another service provider, the Committee may, in its discretion, temporarily prohibit or restrict withdrawals, loans, changes to contribution elections, changes of investment designation of future contributions, transfers of amounts from one Fund to another Fund, or such other activity as the Committee deems appropriate, provided that any such temporary cessation or restriction of such activity shall be in compliance with all applicable law and the Committee shall have provided to Members, Inactive Members, their beneficiaries, and alternate payees the notices and information required to be provided with respect to such temporary cessation or restriction of such activity by applicable law and regulations.

43

ARTICLE XIII

AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION

	13.1.	Amendment.

Subject to the provisions of Section 13.2, the Company may at any time and from time to time, amend the Plan.  Further, the Committee may amend the Plan at any time and from time to time, with any such Committee amendment action being exercised in a settlor capacity, provided that:  (a) any amendment to the Plan that substantially and materially increases the benefits of officers or directors of the Company shall require the prior approval of the Executive Committee or the committee of the Executive Committee (if any) to which the duty of general oversight has been delegated by the Executive Committee, and (b) notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Committee shall have no authority to amend or modify the Plan’s design or operation as it relates to the offering of the Common Stock Fund and the composition of the Common Stock Fund and the Committee shall have no authority to eliminate or restrict the inclusion of the Common Stock Fund under the Plan or to review or approve any assets in which the Common Stock Fund is invested.

	13.2.	Limitation of Amendment.

The Company shall make no amendment to the Plan which shall result in the forfeiture or reduction of the interest of any Member, Inactive Member, Beneficiary, or person claiming under or through any one or more of them pursuant to the Plan; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall restrict the right to amend the provisions hereof relating to the administration of the Plan and Trust.  Moreover, no amendment shall be made hereunder which shall permit any part of the Trust property to revert to any Employer or be used for or be diverted to purposes other than the exclusive benefit of Members, Inactive Members, Beneficiaries, and persons claiming under or through them pursuant to the Plan.

	13.3.	Termination.

The Company reserves the right, by action of its Executive Committee, to terminate the Plan as to all Employers at any time.  The Plan shall terminate automatically if there shall be a complete discontinuance of contributions hereunder by all Employers.  In the event of the termination of the Plan, written notice thereof shall be given to all Members and Beneficiaries having an interest under the Plan, and to the Trustee.  Upon any such termination of the Plan, the Trustee and the Company shall take the following actions for the benefit of Members and Beneficiaries:

		(a)	As of the termination date, the Trustee shall value the Funds hereunder and the Committee shall adjust all accounts accordingly.  The termination date shall become a Valuation Date.  In determining the net worth of the Funds hereunder, the Trustee shall include as a liability such amounts as in the Committee’s judgment shall be necessary to pay all expenses in connection with the termination of the Trust and the liquidation and distribution of the Trust property, as well as other expenses, whether or not accrued, and shall include as an asset all accrued income.

		(b)	The Trustee, upon instructions from the Committee, shall then segregate and distribute an amount equal to the entire interest of each Member, Inactive Member, and Beneficiary in the Funds to  or for the benefit of each Member, Inactive Member, or Beneficiary in accordance with the provisions of Sections 10.2 and 10.3.

 

44

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Plan, upon any such Plan termination or discontinuance of contributions by the Employers, the interest of each Member, Inactive Member, and Beneficiary shall become fully vested and nonforfeitable; and, if there is a partial termination of the Plan, the interest of each Member, Inactive Member, and Beneficiary who is affected by such partial termination shall become fully vested and nonforfeitable.

	13.4.	Withdrawal of an Employer.

An Employer other than the Company may, by action of its board of directors or non-corporate counterpart, withdraw from the Plan, such withdrawal to be effective upon notice in writing to the Company (the effective date of such withdrawal being hereinafter referred to as the “withdrawal date”), and shall thereupon cease to be an Employer for all purposes of the Plan.  An Employer shall be deemed automatically to withdraw from the Plan in the event of its complete discontinuance of contributions, or in the event it ceases to be a Controlled Entity.

	13.5.	Reorganization.

The merger, consolidation, or liquidation of the Company or any Employer with or into the Company or any other Employer shall not constitute a termination of the Plan as to the Company or such Employer.

 

45

ARTICLE XIV

ADOPTION BY AFFILIATES:  EXTENSION

TO NEW BUSINESS OPERATIONS

Any Affiliate of the Company which at the time is not an Employer may, with the consent of the Committee, adopt the Plan and become an Employer hereunder by causing an appropriate written instrument evidencing such adoption to be executed pursuant to the authority of its board of directors or non-corporate counterpart and to be filed with the Company.

 

46

ARTICLE XV

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

	15.1.	No Commitment as to Employment.

Nothing herein contained shall be construed as a commitment or agreement upon the part of any Employee hereunder to continue his employment with an Employer, and nothing  herein contained shall be construed as a commitment on the part of any Employer to continue the employment or rate of compensation of any Employee hereunder for any period.

	15.2.	Benefits.

Nothing in the Plan shall be construed to confer any right or claim upon any person other than the parties hereto, Members and Beneficiaries.

	15.3.	No Guarantees.

None of the Company, any other participating Employer, the Committee, the Executive Committee or the Trustee guarantees the Trust from loss or depreciation, nor the payment of any amount which may become due to any person hereunder.  All benefits payable under the Plan shall be paid or provided for solely from the Plan assets and none of the Company, any other participating Employer, the Committee, the Executive Committee or the Trustee assumes any liability or responsibility for the adequacy thereof.

	15.4.	Exclusive Benefit.

No part of the Plan assets shall be used for any purpose other than the exclusive purpose of providing benefits which Members and Beneficiaries are entitled to under the Plan, and for the purpose of defraying the reasonable expenses of administering the Plan.

	15.5.	Duty to Furnish Information.

Each of the Employers, the Company, the Committee or the Trustee shall furnish to any of the others any documents, reports, returns, statements, or other information that any other reasonably deems necessary to perform its duties imposed hereunder or otherwise imposed by law.

	15.6.	Merger, Consolidation, or Transfer of Plan Assets.

The Plan shall not be merged or consolidated with any other plan, nor shall any of its assets or liabilities be transferred to another plan, unless, immediately after such merger, consolidation, or transfer of assets or liabilities, each Member, Inactive Member, and Beneficiary in the Plan would receive a benefit under the Plan which is at least equal to the benefit he would have received immediately prior to such merger, consolidation, or transfer of assets or liabilities (assuming in each instance that the Plan had then terminated).  Further, this Plan and Trust may not transfer its assets or liabilities to any other plan, unless the Plan Administrator reasonably concludes that such other plan provides that the transferred amounts may not be distributed before the times specified in Treasury regulation section 1.401(k)-1(d).

 

47

	15.7.	Return of Contributions to Employers.

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, Basic, Matching and Retirement Contributions are contingent upon the deductibility of such contributions under Section 404 of the Code.  In the event a Basic, Matching or Retirement Contribution (or any portion thereof) is made under a mistake of fact, such a contribution shall be returned to the Employers within one year after the payment of the contribution.  Since Basic, Matching and Retirement Contributions (or any portion thereof) are conditioned upon the deductibility of the contribution under Section 404 of the Code as set forth above, in the event such deduction is disallowed, any such contribution shall be returned to the Employers within one year after the disallowance of the deduction.

	15.8.	Addenda.

In the event that it is deemed necessary to accommodate any transition of coverage under other benefit plans to coverage under the Plan with respect to certain groups of Employees, an Addendum setting forth special overriding provisions applicable to such Employees may be added to the Plan.  Each Addendum shall for all purposes constitute a part of the Plan and in the event of conflict with any other provision of the Plan, shall control.  The provisions of the Plan, together with the provisions specified in each Addendum shall constitute the terms of the Plan applicable to the Employees specified in the Addendum.

	15.9.	Validity of Agreement.

Except as provided under federal law, the provisions of the Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas.

	15.10.	Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act Requirements.

		(a)	Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, contributions, benefits and service credit with respect to Qualified Military Service will be provided in accordance with Code Section 414(u) and this Section 15.10.  Specifically, as required by Code Section 414(u)(8), a Member will be treated as not having incurred a break in Service because of his period of Qualified Military Service, the Member’s Qualified Military Service will be treated as Service under the Plan for vesting and contribution purposes and the Member will be permitted to make up any Basic Contributions he would have otherwise been eligible to make during the period of Qualified Military Service.

		(b)	If a Member’s death occurs while performing Qualified Military Service, then, provided such Member was entitled to reemployment rights with respect to the Employer under Code section 414(u) as of the date of his death, the Member’s beneficiary or beneficiaries shall be entitled to any benefits (other than benefit accruals relating to the period of Qualified Military Service) that would be provided under the Plan if the Member had resumed and then terminated his Service on account of death, in compliance with Code section 401(a)(37) and the Treasury regulations and guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service thereunder.

 

48

		(c)	If an individual is paid remuneration by an Employer that constitutes a “differential wage payment” within the meaning of Code Section 3401(h)(2), then such individual shall be treated as an Employee of the Employer making the payment.

		(d)	No Member or beneficiary shall be entitled to any continued employer contributions under Code Section 414(u)(9) (as enacted under section 104(b) of the Heroes Earnings Assistance and Relief Tax Act of 2008) by reason of incurring a death or disability during a period of Qualified Military Service.

	15.11.	Plan Administration Communications and Systems.

The Committee may establish telephone and/or electronic media systems and procedures (including on-line mechanisms) for purposes of effecting Plan communications and Plan administration operations.  To the extent that any such telephone and/or electronic media systems and procedures are established by the Committee, references in the Plan suggesting that other systems or procedures would be used for purposes of effecting a given Plan communication or Plan administration operation shall be superseded and reference to the telephone or electronic media system or procedure which was effected, as communicated to Participating Employees, shall be deemed substituted therefor.

SECTION 415 LIMITATIONS

	16.1.	Application.

The provisions set forth in this Article XVI are intended solely to comply with the requirements of Section 415 of the Code, as amended, and shall be interpreted, applied, and if and to the extent necessary, deemed modified without further formal language so as to satisfy solely the minimum requirements of said Section.  For such purposes, the limitations of Section 415 of the Code and the Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, as amended from time to time, are hereby incorporated by reference and made part hereof as though fully set forth herein, but shall be applied only to particular Plan benefits in accordance with the provisions of this Article XVI, to the extent such provisions are not consistent with Section 415 of the Code and such Treasury regulations.  If there is any discrepancy between the provisions in this Article XVI and the provisions of Section 415 of the Code and such Treasury regulations, such discrepancy shall be resolved in such a way as to give full effect to the provisions of Section 415 of the Code and such Treasury regulations.  This Article shall also include reference to the applicable provisions of any successor regulation promulgated under Section 415 of the Code.

	16.2.	Section 415 Definitions.

For purposes of this Article XVI, the following terms and phrases shall have these respective meanings:

		(a)	“Annual Additions” of a Member for any Limitation Year shall mean all amounts that are annual additions (as defined under Treasury Regulation § 1.415(c)-1(b)), including, without limitation, the Basic Contributions, Matching Contributions, Retirement Contributions and forfeitures, if any, allocated to such Member’s Separate Accounts for such year.

		(b)	“415 Compensation” of a Member for any Limitation Year shall mean the total of all amounts of compensation (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation § 1.415(c)-2(d)(4)), paid by the Employer to or for the benefit of a Member in such Limitation Year, including all compensation for services rendered or labor performed for the Employer which are required to be reported on the Member’s federal income tax withholding statement or statements (Form W-2 or its subsequent equivalent), plus amounts that would be so reported but for an election under Section(s) 125(a), 132(f)(4), 402(e)(3), 402(h)(1)(B), 402(k) or 457(b) of the Code.  The 415 Compensation of a Member for any Limitation Year shall include payments of regular compensation for services during the Member’s regular working hours, compensation for services outside the Member’s regular working hours (such as overtime or shift differential), commissions, bonuses, or other similar payments that are paid to the Member following his Severance Date but which would have been paid to the Member prior to such date if he had continued in employment with the Employer, provided that such payments are paid by the later of two and one-half  months following the Member’s Severance Date or the end of the Limitation Year that includes the Severance Date.  The 415 Compensation of any Member taken into account for purposes of the Plan shall be limited to $265,000 for any Plan Year with such limitation to be adjusted automatically to reflect any amendments to Section 401(a)(17) of the Code and any cost-of-living increases authorized by Section 401(a)(17) of the Code and prorated for a Plan Year of less than twelve months and to the extent otherwise required by applicable law.  415 Compensation shall also include “differential wage payments,” as defined in Section 3401(h) of the Code.

 

50

		(c)	“Limitation Year” shall mean the calendar year.

		(d)	“Maximum Annual Additions” of a Member for any Limitation Year shall mean the lesser of (a) $53,000 (with such amount to be adjusted automatically to reflect any cost-of-living adjustment authorized by Section 415(d) of the Code and Treasury Regulation § 1.415(d)-1(b)) or (b) 100% of such Member’s 415 Compensation during such Limitation Year, as determined in accordance with the requirements of Treasury Regulation § 1.415(c)-2.

	16.3.	Limitations.

Contrary Plan provisions notwithstanding, in no event shall the Annual Additions credited to a Member’s Separate Accounts for any Limitation Year exceed the Maximum Annual Additions for such Member for such year.

	16.4.	Multiple Plans.

For purposes of determining whether the Annual Additions under this Plan exceed the limitations herein provided, all defined contribution plans of the Employer are to be treated as one defined contribution plan.  In addition, all defined contribution plans of Controlled Entities shall be aggregated for this purpose.  For purposes of this Article XVI only, a “Controlled Entity” shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation § 1.415(a)-1(f)(1).  If the Annual Additions credited to a Member’s Separate Accounts for any Limitation Year under this Plan plus the additions credited on his behalf under other defined contribution plans required to be aggregated pursuant to this Section would exceed the Maximum Annual Additions for such Member for such Limitation Year, the Annual Additions this Plan and under such other plans shall be reduced on a pro rata basis and allocated, reallocated, or returned in accordance with the provisions of applicable law.

	16.5.	Contribution Adjustments.

If the limitations set forth in this Article XVI with respect to Annual Additions credited to a Member’s Separate Accounts under this Plan would not otherwise be met for any Limitation Year, the Basic Contributions elections of affected Members may be reduced by the Employer on a temporary and prospective basis in such manner as the Employer shall determine; provided, however, that no such reduction shall be effected in a way that adversely affects the catch-up contribution rights of such Members.

	17.1.	Application.

For any Plan Year in which the Plan is a Top-Heavy Plan (as defined in Section 17.2), the provisions set forth in this Article XVII shall be applied in accordance with Section 416 of the Code.

	17.2.	Top-Heavy Definitions.

The following definitions shall be applicable to this Article XVII:

For this purpose, annual compensation means compensation within the meaning of Section 415(c)(3) of the Code.  The determination of who is a Key Employee will be made in accordance with Section 416(i)(1) of the Code and the applicable regulations and other guidance of general applicability issued thereunder.

		(e)	The term “Permissive Aggregation Group” shall mean the Required Aggregation Group of plans plus any other plan or plans of the Employer which, when considered as a group with the Required Aggregation Group, would continue to satisfy the requirements of Section 401(a)(4) and 410 of the Code.

52

		(h)	The term “Super Top-Heavy Group” with respect to a particular Plan Year shall mean a Required or Permissive Aggregation Group that, as of the Determination Date, would qualify as a Top-Heavy Group under the definition in Paragraph (j) of this Article XVII with “90 percent” substituted for “60 percent” each place where “60 percent” appears in such definition.

		(i)	The term “Super Top-Heavy Plan” with respect to a particular Plan Year shall mean a plan that, as of the Determination Date, would qualify as a Top-Heavy Plan under the definition in Paragraph (k) of this Article XVII with “90 percent” substituted for “60 percent” each place where “60 percent” appears in such definition.  A plan is also a “Super Top-Heavy Plan” if it is part of a Super Top-Heavy Group.

		(j)	The term “Top-Heavy Group” with respect to a particular Plan Year shall mean a Required or Permissive Aggregation Group if the sum, as of the Determination Date, of the present value of the cumulative accrued benefits for Key Employees under all defined benefit plans included in such group and the aggregate of the account balances of Key Employees under all defined contribution plans included in such group exceeds 60 percent of a similar sum determined for all employees covered by the plans included in such group.

		(k)	The term “Top-Heavy Plan” for any Plan Year beginning after December 31, 1983, the Plan shall be a Top-Heavy Plan if any of the following conditions exist:

		(l)	The term “Top-Heavy Ratio” shall mean:

 

53

		(i)	While the Employer maintains one or more defined contribution plans (including any simplified employee pension plan) and the Employer has not maintained any defined benefit plan which during the 5-year period ending on the Determination Date(s) has or has had accrued benefits, the Top-Heavy Ratio for the Plan alone or for the Required or Permissive Aggregation Group, as appropriate, is a fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of the account balances of all Key Employees as of the Determination Date(s) (including any part of any account balance distributed during a one-year period (or, in the case of a distribution made for a reason other than separation from service, death or disability, a five-year period) ending on the Determination Date(s)) and including distributions under a terminated plan which, had it not been terminated, would have been aggregated with the Plan under Section 416(g)(2)(A)(i) of the Code, and the denominator of which is the sum of all account balances (including any part of any account balance distributed in the one-year period (or, in the case of a distribution made for a reason other than separation from service, death or disability, a five-year period) ending on the Determination Date(s)) and including distributions under a terminated plan which, had it not been terminated, would have been aggregated with the Plan under Section 416(g)(2)(A)(i) of the Code, both computed in accordance with Section 416 of the Code.  Both the numerator and denominator of the Top-Heavy Ratio are adjusted to reflect any contribution not actually made as of the Determination Date, but which is required to be taken into account on that date under Section 416 of the Code.

		(ii)	While the Employer maintains one or more defined contribution plans (including any simplified employee pension plans) and the Employer maintains or has maintained one or more defined benefit plans which during the 5-year period ending on the Determination Date(s) has or has had any accrued benefits, the Top-Heavy Ratio for any Required or Permissive Aggregation Group as appropriate is a fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of account balances under the aggregated defined contribution plan or plans for all Key Employees, determined in accordance with Subparagraph (i) above, and the present value of accrued benefits under the aggregated defined benefit plan or plans for all Key Employees as of the Determination Date(s), and the denominator of which is the sum of the account balances under the aggregated defined contribution plan or plans for all participants, determined in accordance with Subparagraph (i) above, and the present value of accrued benefits under the defined benefit plan or plans for all participants as of the Determination Date(s), all determined in accordance with Section 416 of the Code.  The accrued benefits under a defined benefit plan in both the numerator and denominator of the Top-Heavy Ratio are adjusted for any distribution of an accrued benefit made in the five-year period ending on the Determination Date.

		(iii)	For purposes of subparagraphs (i) and (ii) above, the value of account balances and the present value of accrued benefits will be determined as of the most recent valuation date that falls within or ends with the 12-month period ending on the Determination Date, except as provided in Section 416 of the Code for the first and second plan years of a defined benefit plan.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the account balances and accrued benefits of individuals who have not performed services for the Employer or any Controlled Entity at any time during the one-year period ending on the applicable Determination Date shall not be considered.  The calculation of the Top-Heavy Ratio, and the extent to which distributions, rollovers and transfers are taken into account will be made in accordance with Section 416 of the Code.  Deductible employee contributions shall not be taken into account for purposes of computing the Top-Heavy Ratio.  When aggregating plans the value of account balances and accrued benefits will be calculated with reference to the Determination Date that falls within the same calendar year.

 

54

		(m)	The term “Valuation Date” shall mean for purposes of computing the Top-Heavy Ratio, the Determination Date.

		(n)	The term “Non-Key Employee” shall mean any Employee who is not a Key Employee.

	17.3.	Top-Heavy Minimum Allocation Rules.

The following Top-Heavy Plan minimum allocation rules shall apply:

		(a)	Except as otherwise provided in Paragraphs (b) and (c) below, the Employer contributions and forfeitures allocated on behalf of any Member who is not a Key Employee shall be the lesser of three percent of the non-Key Employee’s compensation or in the case where the Employer has no defined benefit plan which designates the Plan to satisfy Section 401 of the Code, the largest percentage of the first $150,000 of the Key Employee’s compensation, allocated on behalf of any Key Employee for the Plan Year.  Basic Contributions cannot be used to satisfy the minimum Section 416 contributions for non-key employees.  Further, in making the determination of the percentage at which contributions are made for the Key Employee with the highest percentage, Basic Contributions on behalf of Key Employees are taken into account.  Matching Contributions shall be taken into account for purposes of satisfying the minimum contribution requirements of this Section 17.3(a) and Section 416(c)(2) of the Code.  The preceding sentence shall apply with respect to Matching Contributions under the Plan or, if the Plan provides that the minimum contribution shall be met in another plan, such other plan.  Matching Contributions that are used to satisfy the minimum contribution requirements of this Section 17.3(a) shall be treated as matching contributions for purposes of the actual contribution percentage test described in Section 4.3 and other requirements of Section 401(m) of the Code.

		(b)	The provisions in Paragraph (a) shall not apply to any Member who is not actively employed as an Eligible Employee by the Employer on the last day of the Plan Year for which the minimum allocation is to be made.

 

55

		(c)	The provisions in Paragraph (a) shall not apply to any Member to the extent the Member is covered under any other plan or plans of the Employer, and by the terms of such plan or plans it is provided that the minimum allocation or benefit requirements applicable to Top-Heavy Plans shall be met in such other plan or plans.  If such other plan is, or if one of such other plans is, a defined benefit plan maintained by the Employer, and such plan is a Top-Heavy Plan, the minimum benefit requirements applicable to Top-Heavy Plans shall be met under such defined benefit plan as provided therein, to the extent such benefit can be provided under such plan or plans.  If such other plan is, or if one of such other plans is, a defined contribution plan maintained by the Employer, and such plan is a Top-Heavy Plan, the minimum allocation requirements shall be met under such plan, except as may be otherwise provided in such other plan.  The application and administration of the minimum allocation or benefit requirements for Top-Heavy Plans shall be satisfied in a manner so as to only satisfy the minimum allocation/benefit requirements as permissible and so as to avoid any duplication of minimum allocation/benefits for non-Key Employees, as provided under Section 416 of the Code.  Further, the top heavy requirements of Section 416 of the Code and this Article XVII of the Plan shall not apply in any Plan Year in which the Plan consists solely of a cash or deferred arrangement which meets the requirement of Section 401(k)(12) or 401(k)(13) of the Code and matching contributions with respect to which the requirements of Section 401(m)(11) or 401(m)(12) of the Code are met.  The Plan will only be deemed to consist solely of a cash or deferred arrangement which meets the requirements of Section 401(k)(12) or 401(k)(13) of the Code and matching contributions with respect to which the requirements of Section 401(m)(11) or 401(m)(12) of the Code are met for a Plan Year if the only contributions which are made to the Plan satisfy the requirements of such sections, as applicable, and the Plan does not by operation as a result of allocation of forfeitures, imposition of contribution allocation service requirements or other operational features ceases to be a plan consisting solely of a cash or deferred arrangement which meets the requirements of Section 401(k)(12) or 401(k)(13) of the Code and matching contributions with respect to which the requirements of Section 401(m)(11) or 401(m)(12) of the Code are met for a Plan Year.

	17.4.	Top-Heavy Compensation Limitation.

The annual compensation of any Member to be taken into account under the Plan during any Plan Year in which the Plan is determined to be a Top-Heavy Plan shall not exceed $150,000 (or such adjusted amount determined by the Secretary of the Treasury pursuant to Section 416(d)(2) of the Code).

	17.5.	Top-Heavy Vesting Provisions.

In the event that the Plan is determined to be a Top-Heavy Plan with respect to any Plan Year, a Member who is eligible to receive the vested interest in his Retirement Account in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.2 shall be vested in a portion of his Retirement Account which shall be no less than it would be under following vesting schedule:

 

56

	
Years of Service

	 	
Vested Percentage 

	 
	 	 		 
	
Less than two years

	 	
0%

	
 

	
Two but less than three years

	 	
20%

	
 

	
Three years

	 	
100%

	
 

	17.6.	Top-Heavy Plan/Benefit Limitations.

In any Plan Year in which the Plan is a Top-Heavy Plan, the denominators of the defined benefit fraction and the defined contribution fraction (as such terms are used in applying the benefit limitation provisions of Section 415 of the Code) shall be computed using 100 percent of the dollar limitation instead of 125 percent.

All Key Management Employees and Covered Employees, other than an employee who is eligible to participate in any other cash incentive plan of the Company, are eligible to participate in the Plan at the designation of the Chief Executive Officer (in the case of Key Management Employees) and the Committee (in the case of Covered Employees).

 

	IV.	Award Criteria

 

Performance objectives at the corporate level will be recommended by the Chief Executive Officer to the Committee. The Committee is responsible for establishing and approving the Company performance objectives that are used to determine awards paid for Company objectives under this Plan. Performance objectives for operating units below the corporate level will be submitted by the appropriate manager to the Chief Executive Officer for his consideration and recommendation to the Committee. All performance objectives for a Plan Year applicable to Covered Employees will be established and approved prior to the ninetieth day following January 1 of such Plan Year.

 

The basic measures of financial performance under this Plan for Covered Employees will be:

 

		•	revenue and income measures (which include revenue, gross margin, income from operations, net income, net sales and earnings per share);

 

		•	expense measures (which include costs of goods sold, sales, general and administrative expenses and overhead costs);

 

		•	operating measures (which include volume, margin, breakage and shrinkage, productivity and market share);

 

		•	cash flow measures (which include net cash flow from operating activities and working capital);

 

2

		•	liquidity measures (which include earnings before or after the effect of one or more of certain items such as interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, cash flow and free cash flow);

 

		•	leverage measures (which include equity ratio and net debt);

 

	
 

	•	market measures (including those relating to market price, stock price, total shareholder return, return on equity (“ROE”) and market capitalization measures);

 

		•	return measures (which include economic value added, return on equity, return on assets, cash flow return on assets, cash flow return on capital, cash flow, return on capital and return on invested capital);

 

		•	corporate value measures (which include compliance, safety, environmental and personnel matters); and

 

		•	other measures such as those relating to acquisitions, dispositions or customer satisfaction.

 

The Committee, in its discretion, can approve additional or different measures of performance for Participants other than Covered Employees.

 

In addition, up to 25% of an individual’s award may, at the recommendation of the individual’s immediate manager, be based on individual objectives (without regard to such basic measures.) Any individual objectives applicable to Covered Employees must be objective within the meaning of Section 162(m).

 

	
V.

	
Target Awards

 

A target award expressed as a percentage of base pay will be established each Plan Year for each of the Participants in the Plan. For Covered Employees, target awards are a percentage of such employee’s base pay expected (as of the date performance objectives are set for the Plan Year) to be received for the Plan Year. For Key Management Employees, target awards are a percentage of such employee’s base pay actually paid for the applicable Plan Year. The percentage will generally be dependent on position and will be established by the Committee for the Covered Employees and by the Chief Executive Officer for Key Management Employees.

 

	VI.	Award Categories

 

A Participant may have Company objectives, division objectives, business unit objectives and/or individual objectives, each of which is recommended by the Participant’s immediate manager and weighted in determining the target award for each Plan Year.

 

	VII.	Performance Measurement

 

Performance measurement will be determined each Plan Year in three categories.

 

3

(1)           Minimum: This is the lowest level of performance at which an award will be generated. The award paid for performance at the minimum level is a percentage of the target award as established by the Committee. There will be no payment for performance below the minimum level except as otherwise provided for herein.

 

(2)           Target Performance. This is the desired level of performance based on the current year’s financial plan.

 

(3)           Maximum. This is the performance level for which the maximum award under the Plan will be paid. The maximum award under the Plan that may be awarded to any Participant for any Plan Year is limited to $5 million.

 

	
VIII.

	
Award Calculation

 

Attainment of the objectives is measured based on actual results versus approved targets. Performance above or below approved targets will be prorated up or down to the maximum or minimum levels established for each objective.

 

	IX.	Discretionary Awards

 

There may be unusual situations where a manager feels that the award generated under the Plan does not properly reflect the contribution of the Participant who is a Key Management Employee. In this situation, the Participant’s immediate manager has the right to recommend an upward adjustment of up to 25% or a downward adjustment of up to 100% of the Participant’s target award. No upward adjustment will not be permitted with respect to a Participant who is a Covered Employee.

 

	
X.

	
Individual Objectives

 

A Participant’s immediate manager may recommend individual objectives as part of the Participant’s performance criteria under the Plan. The use of individual objectives is subject to the following requirements:

 

(1)           The manager must specify the weighting of the individual objectives in the overall target award, not to exceed  30% of the total award.

 

(2)           Individual objectives must be specifically identified and must be quantifiable in terms of both the targeted achievement and the time frame in which the objective is to be completed.

 

(3)           The portion of the award generated from individual objectives may be adjusted up or down based on the manager’s assessment of the Participant’s results.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no upward adjustment shall be permitted with respect to a Participant who is a Covered Employee.

 

4

	XI.	Alternative Calculations

 

The nature and scope of the Company’s operations are such that at times unanticipated economic and market conditions may render pre-established financial objectives not meaningful in any given Plan Year. If, in the opinion of the Committee, such circumstances should arise, the Committee may make awards based on its discretion, taking into account such factors as market conditions and peer performance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this alternative award calculation will not be applicable to a Participant who is a Covered Employee.

 

	
XII.

	Modifications

 

If, during a Plan Year, there has occurred or should occur, in the opinion of the Company, a significant beneficial or adverse change in economic conditions, the indicators of growth or recession in the Company’s business segments, the nature of the operations of the Company, or applicable laws, regulations or accounting practices, or other matters which were not anticipated by the Company when it approved Company and division objectives for the Plan Year and which, in the Company’s judgment, had or have or are expected to have a substantial positive or negative effect on the performance of the Company as a whole, the Committee may modify or revise the performance objectives for the Plan Year in such manner as it may deem appropriate in its sole judgment. By way of illustration, and not limitation, such significant changes might result from sales of assets, or mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, or spin-offs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Covered Employee, any such modification of performance objectives will be performed in a manner consistent with requirements for qualified performance‐based compensation under Section 162(m).

 

	XIII.	Payment

 

The level of achievement of goals under the Plan for a Plan Year must be certified in writing and approved by the Committee following the close of the Plan Year. Except as otherwise expressly required by law, employees voluntarily terminating or terminated for Cause prior to the date awards are paid for any Plan Year are not eligible for payment of any award for that Plan Year under this Plan. If the termination is due to retirement, disability or reduction in force (economic or otherwise), any award payment will be determined on the basis of awards actually paid to similarly situated employees based upon satisfaction of performance objectives, but prorated to the date of termination in the event termination occurs prior to the end of the Plan Year for which the award is paid. If the termination is due to death during the Plan Year, the award payment will be paid as soon as administratively practicable following death based on the Participant’s target award, but prorated to the date of death in the event of death. If death occurs after prior to the end of the Plan Year for which the award is paid, payment will be determined on the basis of awards actually paid to similarly situated employees based upon satisfaction of performance objectives.

 

As a condition of receiving an award under this Plan, each Participant agrees and acknowledges that any awards received pursuant to this Plan shall be subject to repayment to the Company in whole or in part in the event of a financial restatement or in such other circumstances as may be required by applicable law or as may be provided in any clawback policy that is adopted by the Company.

 

5

The Committee has the discretion to authorize payments in cash, common stock of the Company, or a combination thereof. Any payment in common stock of the Company will be made under the Company’s then existing stockholder approved equity compensation plan and may include, in the Committee’s discretion an upward adjustment of up to 30% of the portion of the award payable in stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such upward award adjustment will not be applicable to a Participant who is a Covered Employee.

 

Any awards payable for a Plan Year will be paid on March 15th of the following calendar year.

 

	XIV.	Effective Date

 

The Plan is effective as of January 1, 2011, subject to the approval of stockholders of the Company at the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on May 3, 2011, or any adjournment thereof.

 

	XV.	Section 409A

 

The awards provided pursuant to this Plan are intended to be short-term deferrals exempt from the application of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the Plan will be construed and interpreted accordingly.
