For record keeping purposes only, an Account shall be maintained for each Participant. Separate subaccounts shall be maintained to the extent necessary to properly reflect the Participant’s election of Earnings Indices and total vested or nonvested Account balances. The Account shall be a bookkeeping device utilized for the sole purpose of determining the benefits payable under the Plan and shall not constitute a separate fund of assets.

4.2Elective Deferred Compensation

A Participant’s Elective Deferred Compensation shall be credited to the Participant’s Account at the same time the corresponding nondeferred portion of the Compensation becomes or would have become payable.

If a Participant defers the maximum elective percentage into the qualified 401(k) Savings Plan, Employer shall credit a matching contribution to the Participant’s Account equal to any matching contribution which would have been credited to the Participant’s 401(k) Savings Plan but for the Participant’s participation in this Plan.

(a)At the time a Participant completes a Deferral Commitment for a Deferral Period, the Participant shall also select the Investment Index or Indices in which the Participant wishes to have the deferrals deemed invested.

(b)A Participant may change the amounts allocated to the Investment Indices effective the last business day of the month in which the authorization was submitted, provided that the Participant submitted notice of the change on or before the last business day of such month. The change may apply to prospective deferrals only or may include current account balances. However, any amount allocated to the Participant’s Stock subaccount may not be reallocated.

(c)Changes in Notice and Frequency. The Administrative Committee may change the notice requirement and frequency by which Participants can reallocate their Accounts from time to time by giving written notice to all Participants.

4.5Determination of Accounts

Each Participant’s Account shall be adjusted on a daily basis.

4.6Vesting of Accounts

Each Participant shall be one hundred percent (100%) vested at all times in the Participant’s Elective Deferred Compensation as adjusted for earnings and losses thereon. Any matching contributions under Section 4.3 shall vest pursuant to the vesting schedule of the underlying qualified plan.

The Administrative Committee shall give to each Participant a statement setting forth the balances in the Participant’s Account on a quarterly basis and at such other times as may be determined by the Administrative Committee.

ARTICLE V-PLAN BENEFITS

5.1Distributions Prior to Separation from Service

A Participant’s Account may be distributed to the Participant prior to Separation from Service as follows:

(a)Scheduled Early Withdrawals. A Participant may elect in a Participation Agreement to withdraw all or any portion of the vested amount deferred and vested matching contributions thereon, if any, as adjusted for earnings and losses, pursuant to that Participation Agreement in two (2) to five (5) substantially equal annual installments or a single lump sum commencing the first January 1 and on each subsequent January 1 following the date specified in the election, until fully paid. Such date shall not be sooner than two (2) years after the date the Deferral Period commences.

(b)Severe FinancialHardship Withdrawals. A Participant may request a hardship withdrawal due to an Unforeseen Emergency. Upon a finding that a Participant has suffered an Unforeseen Emergency, the Administrative Committee may, in its sole discretion, make distributions from the Participant’s vested Account. The amount of such a withdrawal shall be limited to the amount the Administrative Committee determines to be reasonably necessary to meet the Participant’s needs resulting

from the Unforeseen Emergency. If any payment is made due to Unforeseen Emergency, any existing Deferral Commitment shall be null and void and the Participant shall not be permitted to make any Deferral Commitment for twelve (12) months. Any hardship withdrawal distribution shall be payable in a single lump sum within thirty (30) calendar days after the Administrative Committee approves such payment.

5.2Distributions Following Separation from Service

(a)Retirement Benefit

(i)Benefit Amount. If a Participant has a Separation from Service due to Retirement, Employer shall pay to the Participant a benefit equal to the vested balance in the Participant’s Account.

(ii)Form of Benefit. Benefits under this Section 5.2(a) shall be paid in the form selected by the Participant in the Participation Agreement with respect to each Deferral Period. Optional forms of payment include a lump-sum payment or substantially equal annual installments of the Account amortized over a period of up to fifteen (15) years. The initial payment shall be within sixty (60) calendar days of Separation from Service and all subsequent payments, if any, shall be in January of each subsequent year following the date of the initial payment, until fully paid. As of each January 1, the amount to be distributed in installment payments for that year shall be determined by dividing the Participant’s Account balance as of the preceding December 31 by the remainder of the installment periods.

(iii)Small Accounts. Notwithstanding Section 5.2(a)(ii), if a Participant’s Account balance is less than fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) on the Retirement date, the Administrative Committee shall pay the benefit under Section 5.2(a) in a lump sum, provided that such payment results in the termination and liquidation of the entirety of such Participant’s interest under the Plan, including all agreements, methods, programs or other arrangements which would be aggregated with the Plan under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(c)(2).

(b)Death Benefit

(i)Preretirement. If a Participant has a Separation from Service due to death, Employer shall pay to the Participant’s Beneficiary a lump-sum benefit equal to the vested balance in the Participant’s Account.

(ii)Postretirement. If a Participant dies following the Participant’s Retirement, Employer shall continue to pay any remaining benefit payments to the Participant’s Beneficiary in the form previously elected by the Participant for Retirement benefits.

(c)Termination Benefit. If a Participant has a Separation from Service for any reason other than Retirement or death, Employer shall pay to the Participant a lump-sum benefit equal to the vested balance in the Participant’s Account.

(d)Form of Payment. All balances in a Participant’s Stock subaccount shall be paid in Stock. All other Participant subaccounts shall be paid in cash.

5.3Change in Form of Payment

The distribution election made for the Deferral Period at the time of enrollment for such Deferral Period shall be irrevocable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such Participant may elect on or prior to December 31, 2008 to change their distribution election under Section 5.1(a) or 5.2(a)(ii). Such election may not modify any amount payable within the Deferral Period in which such election is made.

5.4Benefit Commencement

Benefits shall commence as soon as practical after Separation from Service but in no case more than sixty (60) calendar days after Separation from Service. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Participant is a “specified employee” for purposes of IRC Section 409A, distribution on account of Separation from Service shall be delayed until the expiration of the Delay Period. Upon the expiration of the Delay Period, the payment delayed pursuant to this Section 5.4 shall be paid to the Participant, and any remaining installment payments due under Section 5.2 shall be payable in accordance with their original payment schedule.

5.5Withholding for Taxes

To the extent required by the law in effect at the time payments are made, Employer shall withhold from payments made hereunder any taxes required to be withheld by the federal or any state or local government. A Beneficiary, however, may elect not to have withholding of federal income tax pursuant to IRC Section 3405, or any successor provision thereto.

5.6Valuation and Settlement

The amount of a lump-sum payment and any installment payment shall be based on the value of the Participant’s vested Account balance on the Determination Date immediately preceding the lump-sum payment or installment payment.

5.7Payment to Guardian

The Administrative Committee may direct payment to the duly appointed guardian, conservator, or other similar legal representative of a Participant or Beneficiary to whom payment is due. In the absence of such a legal representative, the Administrative Committee may, in it sole and absolute discretion, make payment to a person having the care and custody of a minor, incompetent or person incapable of handling the disposition of property upon proof satisfactory to the Administrative Committee of incompetency, status as a minor, or incapacity. Such distribution shall completely discharge the Administrative Committee from all liability with respect to such benefit.

5.8Prohibition on Acceleration of Payments

The time or schedule of any payment or amount subject to IRC Section 409A scheduled to be paid pursuant to the terms of the Plan may not be accelerated except as otherwise permitted under IRC Section 409A and the guidance and Treasury regulations issued thereunder, including, without limitation, an acceleration of payment in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(j)(v)(vi) to pay the Federal Insurance Contributions Act tax or the Railroad Retirement Act tax or an acceleration of payment in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(j)(v)(xi) to pay state, local, or foreign tax obligations.

ARTICLE VI-BENEFICIARY DESIGNATION

6.1Beneficiary Designation

Each Participant shall have the right, at any time, to designate a Beneficiary (both primary as well as contingent) to whom benefits under this Plan shall be paid if a Participant dies prior to complete distribution to the Participant of the benefits due under the Plan. Each Beneficiary designation shall be in a written form prescribed by the Administrative Committee, and will be effective only when filed with the Administrative Committee during the Participant’s lifetime.

6.2Changing Beneficiary

Any Beneficiary designation may be changed by a Participant without the consent of the previously named Beneficiary by the filing of a new Beneficiary designation with the Administrative Committee. The filing of a new Beneficiary designation shall cancel all Beneficiary designations previously filed. If a Participant’s Compensation is community property, any Beneficiary designation shall be valid or effective only as permitted under applicable law.

6.3No Beneficiary Designation

In the absence of an effective Beneficiary designation, or if all designated Beneficiaries predecease the Participant or die prior to complete distribution of the Participant’s benefits, the Participant’s designated Beneficiary shall be deemed to be the Participant’s estate.

6.4Effect of Payment

Payment to the Beneficiary shall completely discharge Employer’s obligations under this Plan.

ARTICLE VII-ADMINISTRATION

7.1Committee Duties

The Plan shall be administered by an Administrative Committee consisting of three (3) members as may be appointed from time to time by the Board or the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The Administrative Committee shall have the authority, in its sole discretion, to interpret and enforce all appropriate rules and regulations for the administration of the Plan and decide or resolve any and all questions, including determination of eligibility and interpretations of the Plan, as may arise in such administration. A majority vote of the Administrative Committee members in office at the time of the vote shall control any decision. The required majority action may be taken either by a vote at a meeting or without a meeting by a signed memorandum. Meetings may be conducted by telephone conference call. The Administrative Committee may, by majority action, delegate to one or more of its members the authority to execute and deliver in the name of the Administrative Committee all communications and documents which the Administrative Committee is required or authorized to provide under this Plan. Any party shall accept and rely upon any document executed in the name of the Administrative Committee. Members of the Administrative Committee may be Participants under this Plan.

7.2Agents

The Administrative Committee may, from time to time, employ agents and delegate to them such administrative duties as it sees fit, and may from time to time consult with counsel who may be counsel to the Company.

7.3Binding Effect of Decisions

7.4Indemnity of Committee

The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the members of the Administrative Committee against any and all claims, loss, damage, expense or liability arising from any action or failure to act with respect to this Plan on account of such person’s service on the Administrative Committee, except in the case of gross negligence or willful misconduct.

ARTICLE VIII-CLAIMS PROCEDURE

8.1Claims

Any person claiming a benefit, requesting an interpretation or ruling under the Plan, or requesting information under the Plan shall present the request in writing to the Administrative Committee.

In no event shall such extension exceed ninety (90) calendar days.

8.2Appeal Procedures

In the event a claim for benefit is denied, the claimant or his duly authorized representative, at the claimant’s expense, may appeal the denial to the Administrative Committee within sixty (60) days of the receipt of written notice of denial. In pursuing such appeal, the claimant or his duly authorized representative may:

(a)request in writing that the Administrative Committee review the denial;

(b)review all relevant documents, records, and other information relevant to the claim; and

(c)submit issues and comments in writing.

The decision on review shall be made within sixty (60) calendar days of receipt of the request for review, unless special circumstances require an extension of time for processing, in which case a decision shall be rendered as soon as possible, but not later than one hundred twenty (120) calendar days after receipt of a request for review. If such an extension of time is required, written notice of the extension shall be furnished to the claimant before the end of the original sixty (60) calendar day period which explains the reasons for the extension and the date a decision is expected. The decision on review shall be written in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant, and shall include specific references to the pertinent Plan provisions on which such denial is based, a statement that claimants can receive free of charge copies of all documents, records, and other information relevant to the claim; a statement describing the claimant’s right to bring civil action under ERISA; and a description of voluntary appeals procedures, if any, offered by the Plan.

ARTICLE X-MISCELLANEOUS

10.1Unfunded Plan

This plan is an unfunded plan maintained primarily to provide deferred compensation benefits for a select group of “management or highly-compensated employees” within the meaning of Sections 201, 301 and 401 of ERISA, and therefore is intended to be exempt from the provisions of Parts 2, 3 and 4 of Title I of ERISA.

10.2Unsecured General Creditor

Participants and Beneficiaries shall be unsecured general creditors, with no secured or preferential right to any assets of Employer or any other party for payment of benefits under this Plan. Any life insurance policies, annuity contracts or other property purchased by Employer in connection with this Plan shall remain its general, unpledged and unrestricted assets. Employer’s obligation under the Plan shall be an unfunded and unsecured promise to pay money in the future.

10.3Trust Fund

Employer has established an irrevocable grantor trust, with such trustees as Employer shall approve from time to time, for the purpose of providing for the payment of benefits owed under the Plan in the event Employer does not make such payment of benefits when due. Although the trust is irrevocable, its assets shall be held for payment of Employer’s general creditors in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy. Employer shall contribute to the trust amounts deferred if such amounts are needed to make the assets in the trust at least equal to the Plan’s liabilities. To the extent any benefits provided under the Plan are paid from any such trust, Employer shall have no further obligation to pay them. If not paid from the trust, such benefits shall remain the obligation of Employer.

10.4Nonassignability

Neither a Participant nor any other person shall have any right to commute, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, anticipate, mortgage or otherwise encumber, transfer, hypothecate or convey in advance of actual receipt the amounts, if any, payable hereunder, or any part thereof, which are, and all rights to which are, expressly declared to be unassignable and nontransferable. No part of the amounts payable shall, prior to actual payment, be subject to seizure or sequestration for the payment of any debts, judgments, alimony or separate maintenance owed by a Participant or any other person, nor be transferable by operation of law in the event of a Participant’s or any other person’s bankruptcy or insolvency.

10.5Not a Contract of Employment

This Plan shall not constitute a contract of employment between Employer and the Participant. Nothing in this Plan shall give a Participant the right to be retained in the service of Employer or to interfere with the right of Employer to discipline or discharge a Participant at any time.

10.6Protective Provisions

A Participant will cooperate with Employer by furnishing any and all information requested by Employer in order to facilitate the payment of benefits hereunder, and by such action as may be requested by Employer.

10.7Section 409A Compliance

The Plan and the benefits provided hereunder are intended to comply with IRC Section 409A and the guidance and Treasury regulations issued thereunder, to the extent applicable thereto. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, the Plan shall be interpreted and construed consistent with this intent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Employer shall not be required to assume any increased economic burden in connection therewith. Although Employer and the Administrative Committee intend to administer the Plan so that it will comply with the requirements of IRC Section 409A, neither Employer nor the Administrative Committee represents or warrants that the Plan will comply with IRC Section 409A or any other provision of federal, state, local, or non-United States law. In no event shall Employer, its subsidiaries, or any director, officer, employee or adviser of Employer or its subsidiaries be liable for any tax, interest, or penalty incurred by a Participant or Beneficiary as a result of participation in the Plan, and Employer and its subsidiaries shall have no obligation to indemnify or otherwise protect any Participant or Beneficiary from the obligation to pay any taxes pursuant to IRC Section 409A.

10.8Governing Law

The provisions of this Plan shall be construed and interpreted according to the laws of the State of Oregon, except as preempted by federal law.

10.9Validity

In case any provision of this Plan shall be held illegal or invalid for any reason, said illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts hereof, but this Plan shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal and invalid provision had never been inserted herein.

10.10Notice

Any notice required or permitted under the Plan shall be sufficient if in writing and hand delivered or sent by registered or certified mail. Such notice shall be deemed as given as of the date of delivery or, if delivery is made by mail, as of the date shown on the postmark on the receipt for registration or certification. Mailed notice to the Administrative Committee shall be directed to the Company’s address. Mailed notice to a Participant or Beneficiary shall be directed to the individual’s last known address in Employer’s records.

10.11Successors

The provisions of this Plan shall bind and inure to the benefit of Employer and its successors and assigns. The term successors as used herein shall include any corporate or other business entity which shall, whether by merger, consolidation, purchase or otherwise acquire all or substantially all of the business and assets of Employer, and successors of any such corporation or other business entity.
