L. 71-798, Service Contract Act of 1965 (79 Stat. 1965), Pub. L. 89-286, or similar legislation may be taken into account to the extent such contributions do not exceed 10% of that Non-Highly Compensated Employee’s Compensation.

Qualified Non-Elective Contributions taken into account under the average contribution percentage test (including contributions taken into account for purposes of determining the Plan’s Representative Contribution Percentage for that test) may not be taken into account for either the average deferral percentage test or the determination of the Plan’s Representative Contribution Rate for purposes of determining the use of Qualified Non-Elective Contributions under the average deferral percentage test. Similarly, Qualified Non-Elective Contributions taken into account under the average deferral percentage test (including contributions taken into account for purposes of determining the Plan’s Representative Contribution Percentage for that test) may not be taken into account for either the average contribution test or the determination of the Plan’s Representative Contribution Rate for purposes of the average contribution percentage test.

The Plan’s “Representative Contribution Rate” for a Plan Year is the lowest Applicable Contribution Rate of any eligible Non-Highly Compensated Employee among the group of eligible Non-Highly Compensated Employees that consists of half of all eligible Non-Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year or, if greater, the lowest Applicable Contribution Rate of any eligible Non-Highly Compensated Employee in the group of all eligible Non-Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year who are employed by the Company on the last day of the Plan Year.

The “Applicable Contribution Rate” for any eligible Non-Highly Compensated Employee is:

(a)

For purposes of the average deferral percentage test, the sum of the Qualified Matching Contributions taken into account for that purpose for the Non-Highly Compensated Employee for the Plan Year and the Qualified Non-Elective Contributions made for the eligible Non-Highly Compensated Employee for the Plan Year, divided by the eligible Non-Highly Compensated Employee’s Compensation for the same period; and

(b)

For purposes of the average contribution percentage test, the sum of the Matching Contributions taken into account for that purpose for the Non-Highly Compensated Employee for the Plan Year and the Qualified Non-Elective Contributions made for the eligible Non-Highly Compensated Employee for the Plan Year, divided by the eligible Non-Highly Compensated Employee’s Compensation for the same period.

Qualified Matching Contributions may be taken into account to satisfy the average deferral percentage test only to the extent that such contributions are matching contributions that are not precluded from being taken into account under the average contribution percentage test as a disproportionate contribution under the rules of Treasury Regulation § 1.401(m)-2(a)(5)(ii).

Qualified Non-Elective Contributions and Qualified Matching Contributions may not be taken into account for more than one purpose under the Plan pursuant to Treasury Regulation § 1.401(k)-2(a)(6)(vi) and § 1.401(m)-2(a)(6)(vi).

(a)

General. Subject to the rules and limitations set forth in this Plan, the Board in its absolute discretion shall determine the amount, if any, that will be contributed by the Company as the Incentive Contribution for each Plan Year. Such contributions, if any, shall be made as of the last day of such Plan Year.

(b)

Allocation. The Incentive Contribution, if any, made under this Section 4.9 for each Plan Year shall be credited as of the last day of such Plan Year to the Incentive Account of each Participant in the same proportion that the Compensation of each such Participant for such Plan Year bears to the total Compensation of all such Participants for such Plan Year.

• Code §415 Limit. Notwithstanding any provisions of the Plan to the contrary, allocations to Participants under the Plan shall not exceed the maximum amount permitted under Code §415. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the following rules shall apply unless otherwise provided in Code §415:

(3)

such lesser amount as the Committee deems necessary or appropriate to satisfy the requirements of Code §415 (including any applicable transition rules) in light of the benefits, if any, accrued and the contributions, if any, made for such Participant under any other employee benefit plan maintained by an Affiliate.

The compensation limit referred to in (1) shall not apply to any contribution for medical benefits after separation from service (within the meaning of Code §401(h) or Code §419A(f)(2)) which is otherwise treated as an Annual Addition.

(b)

For purposes of this Section, “Annual Additions” means the sum of the following amounts allocated to a Participant for a Plan Year under this Plan and all other defined contribution plans maintained by an Affiliate:

(1)

Employer contributions. For this purpose, “employer contributions” means the sum of (i) Deferral Contributions, other than (A) Deferral Contributions refunded pursuant to Section 5.3 and (B) Catch-up Contributions; (ii) Incentive Contributions, (iii) Matching Contributions; (iv) Qualified Non-Elective Contributions; (v) Qualified Matching Contributions; and (vi) any other cash contributions.

An Annual Addition with respect to a Participant’s Accounts shall be deemed credited thereto with respect to a Plan Year if it is allocated to the Participant’s Accounts under the terms of the Plan as of any date within such Plan Year.

forth in this Section 5.1 for any Plan Year, the Committee shall correct such excess in the following steps:

(2)

by refunding any matched Deferral Contributions (and investment earnings and gains attributable to such contributions) and transferring the related Matching Contributions to a Code §415 suspense account;

Amounts transferred to a Code §415 suspense account shall not be allocated to the Participant’s Accounts, but shall be held unallocated in a separate suspense account and shall be treated as either a Matching Contribution or an Incentive Contribution for the next Plan Year (and each succeeding Plan Year, if necessary). The balance credited to the suspense account shall be returned to the Company in the event this Plan is terminated prior to the date the suspense account has been applied in accordance with this Section 5.1(c). Any Deferral Contributions refunded under this Section 5.1(c) shall be disregarded for purposes of the Code §402(g) limitation under Section 5.3 and the Deferral Contribution limitation under Section 5.2.

• Adjustment Required by Code §401(k). If necessary to satisfy the requirements of Code §401(k), Deferral Contributions shall be adjusted as follows:

(1)

The average deferral percentage of Highly Compensated Employees for the current Plan Year is not more than 1.25 times the average deferral percentage of Non-Highly Compensated Employees for the current Plan Year.

(2)

The excess of the average deferral percentage of Highly Compensated Employees for the current Plan Year over the average deferral percentage of Non-Highly Compensated Employees for the current Plan Year is not more than two percentage points, and the average deferral percentage of Highly Compensated Employees for the current Plan Year is not more than 2 times the average deferral percentage of Non-Highly Compensated Employees for the current Plan Year.

(A)

Deferral Contributions allocated to the Participant (excluding any Excess Deferrals distributed to Non-Highly Compensated Employees under Section 5.3), plus any additional cash contributions allocated as Qualified Non-Elective Contributions or Qualified Matching Contributions under Section 4.8.

(2)

The average deferral percentage for Highly Compensated Employees or Non-Highly Compensated Employees for a Plan Year is the average of the individual percentages for all such employees who were eligible to make Deferral Contributions during that Plan Year, regardless of whether the individual made such contributions.

(4)

The deferral percentage for any Highly Compensated Employee will be determined as if all contributions made behalf of such Highly Compensated Employee during the same Plan Year under one, or more than one, other plan described in Code §401(k) maintained by an Affiliate had been made under this Plan.

(5)

If this Plan satisfies the coverage requirements of Code §410(b) only if aggregated with one or more other plans, or if one or more other plans satisfy the coverage requirements of Code §410(b) only if aggregated with this Plan, or if the Company chooses to aggregate with this Plan one or more other plans and together such plans satisfy the coverage requirements of Code §410(b), then this Section 5.2(b) will be applied as if all those plans were a single plan provided that each plan that is aggregated with this Plan has the same plan year and utilizes the same testing method as this Plan. Further, an ESOP and non-ESOP may be aggregated for purposes of performing the test described in this Section 5.2(b).

(6)

If the Plan applies Code §410(b)(4)(B) (exclusion of employees less than age 21 or without one year of service) for Code §410(b) testing purposes, the Plan will perform the average deferral percentage test of this Section 5.2(b) by disaggregating the Plan into two plans, one for Qualified Employees who are not age 21 by the end of the Plan Year or have not completed one year of service and one for all other Qualified Employees.

maximum individual deferral percentage which could be allowed and still satisfy Sections 5.2(a)(1) or (a)(2). For each Highly Compensated Employee whose actual deferral percentage was higher than the maximum individual percentage, the Committee or Administrative Delegate will determine the amount of excess Deferral Contributions (i.e. the amount by which the individual’s actual Deferral Contribution exceeds what the individual’s Deferral Contribution would have been if he or she had contributed the maximum permitted deferral percentage).

(2)

Add up excess amount for all Highly Compensated Employees. Rather than distributing the amounts determined in (1) to the individuals whose Deferral Contributions exceeded the maximum permitted deferral percentage, these amounts will be added together to determine an aggregate amount of excess deferrals.

(3)

Distribute excess deferrals. The Committee or Administrative Delegate will reduce Deferral Contributions of the Highly Compensated Employee whose Deferral Contribution was the highest dollar amount by the amount required to cause his or her Deferral Contributions to equal the amount contributed by the Highly Compensated Employee with the next highest dollar amount. The Committee or Administrative Delegate will continue making such reductions until the aggregate amount of reductions equals the total determined in (2). The Committee will distribute these reduction amounts in cash to the employees whose Accounts were reduced.

(d)

At any time during the Plan Year, the Committee may make an estimate of the amount of Deferral Contributions by Highly Compensated Employees that will be permitted under this Section for the year and may limit the Deferral Contributions for such employees to the extent the Committee determines in its sole discretion to be necessary to satisfy at least one of the requirements in subsection (a).

(e)

The amount by which Deferral Contributions with respect to a Highly Compensated Employee are reduced pursuant to subsection (c) (adjusted for income or losses allocable thereto) shall be distributed to Participants on whose behalf such excess contributions were made no later than December 31 of the following Plan Year. Furthermore, the Committee shall attempt to distribute such amount by the applicable deadline in the following Plan Year to avoid the imposition on the Company of an excise tax under Code §4979. Income or losses allocable to excess Deferral Contributions shall be the portion of the income or loss for the year for which the contributions were made which is determined by the Committee or Administrative Delegate to fairly reflect the portion of the Plan’s aggregate income or loss for said year properly attributable to the excess contributions using the “alternative method of allocating plan year income” pursuant to Treasury Regulation § 1.401(k)-2(b)(iv)(C). Any income or loss after the close of the year for which the contributions were made shall remain in the Fund and will not be distributed. The amount of excess Deferral and income or losses allocable thereto which would otherwise be distributed pursuant to this

subsection shall be reduced, in accordance with regulations, by the amount of Excess Deferrals and income or losses allocable thereto previously distributed to the Participant pursuant to Section 5.3 for the same Plan Year.

In the case of a Highly Compensated Employee who is an eligible employee in more than one plan of the Company or another Affiliate to which elective deferrals are made, the amount of the excess Deferral Contributions apportioned for a Plan Year with respect to such Highly Compensated Employee shall not exceed the amount of Deferral Contributions actually contributed to the Plan for the Highly Compensated Employee for the Plan Year.

(f)

No Matching Contributions will be provided with respect to excess Deferral Contributions. Any Matching Contributions made with respect to Deferral Contributions which are later determined to exceed the limitations under this Section shall be forfeited and applied as provided in Section 8.2(b). The amount forfeited shall be adjusted for income or losses attributable thereto, determined as provided in subsection (e).

(g)

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Participant is eligible to make Catch-Up Contributions under Section 4.3 and Code §414(v), deferrals made on behalf of such Participant that would otherwise be treated as excess Deferral Contributions under this Section 5.2 may be recharacterized as Catch-Up Contributions to the extent permitted under Code §414(v) or distributed under Section 5.2(e) as determined by the Committee.

• Distribution of Excess Deferrals (Code §402(g)). Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan, Excess Deferrals for a calendar year shall be distributed no later than the following April 15 to Participants who claim such Excess Deferrals, subject to the following:

(a)

The Participant’s written claim, specifying the amount of his or her Excess Deferral for any calendar year, shall be submitted to the Committee or the Administrative Delegate no later than the March 1 following such calendar year. The claim shall include a written statement that if such amounts are not distributed, such Excess Deferrals, when added to amounts deferred under other plans or arrangements described in Code §401(k), 403(b), or 408(k), exceed the limit imposed by Code §402(g) for the year in which the deferral occurred. In the absence of such a claim, the Committee or the Administrative Delegate may deem that such a claim has been made to the extent that Deferral Contributions under the Plan exceed the Code §402(g) limit.

(c)

The amount of Excess Deferrals and income allocable thereto which would otherwise be distributed pursuant to this Section 5.3 shall be reduced, in accordance with regulations, by the amount of Excess Deferrals and income

allocable thereto previously distributed to the Eligible Employee pursuant to Section 5.3 for the same year.

(d)

No Matching Contributions will be provided with respect to Excess Deferrals. Any Matching Contributions made with respect to Deferral Contributions which are later determined to be Excess Deferrals shall be forfeited and applied as provided in Section 8.2(b). The amount forfeited shall be adjusted for income or losses attributable thereto, determined as provided in Section 5.2(e).

• Adjustment Required by Code §401(m). After the provisions of Section 5.2 and Section 5.3 have been satisfied, the requirements of this Section must also be met. If necessary to satisfy the requirements of Code §401(m), Matching Contributions shall be adjusted as follows:

(1)

The average contribution percentage of Highly Compensated Employees for the current Plan Year is not more than 1.25 times the average contribution percentage of Non-Highly Compensated Employees for the current Plan Year.

(2)

The excess of the average contribution percentage of Highly Compensated Employees for the current Plan Year over the average contribution percentage of Non-Highly Compensated Employees for the current Plan Year is not more than two percentage points, and the average contribution percentage of Highly Compensated Employees for the current Plan Year is not more than 2 times the average contribution percentage of Non-Highly Compensated Employees for the current Plan Year.

(2)

The average contribution percentage for Highly Compensated Employees or Non-Highly Compensated Employees for a Plan Year is the average of the individual percentages for all such employees who were eligible for

Matching Contributions during that Plan Year, regardless of whether the individual actually received Matching Contributions.

(4)

The contribution percentage for any Highly Compensated Employee will be determined as if all contributions made behalf of such Highly Compensated Employee during the same Plan Year under one, or more than one, other plan described in Code §401(m) maintained by an Affiliate had been made under this Plan.

(5)

If this Plan satisfies the coverage requirements of Code §410(b) only if aggregated with one or more other plans, or if one or more other plans satisfy the coverage requirements of Code §410(b) only if aggregated with this Plan, or if the Company chooses to aggregate with this Plan one or more other plans and together such plans satisfy the coverage requirements of Code §410(b), then this Section 5.4(b) will be applied as if all those plans were a single plan provided that each plan that is aggregated with this Plan has the same plan year and utilizes the same testing method as this Plan. Further, an ESOP and non-ESOP may be aggregated for purposes of performing the test described in this Section 5.4(b).

(6)

If the Plan applies Code §410(b)(4)(B) (exclusion of employees less than age 21 or without one year of service) for Code §410(b) testing purposes, the Plan will perform the average contribution percentage test of this Section 5.4(b) by disaggregating the Plan into two plans, one for Qualified Employees who are not age 21 by the end of the Plan Year or have not completed one year of service and one for all other Qualified Employees.

(c)

At any time during the Plan Year, the Committee or Administrative Delegate may make an estimate of the amount of Matching Contributions on behalf of Highly Compensated Employees that will be permitted under this Section for the year and may reduce the Matching Contributions for Highly Compensated Employees to the extent the Committee or Administrative Delegate determines in its sole discretion to be necessary to satisfy at least one of the requirements in subsection (a).

(1)

Determine excess amount with respect to each Highly Compensated Employee. The Committee or Administrative Delegate will determine the maximum individual contribution percentage which could be allowed and still satisfy Section 5.4(a)(1) or (a)(2). For each Highly Compensated

Employee whose actual contribution percentage was higher than the maximum individual percentage, the Committee or Administrative Delegate will determine the amount of excess contributions (i.e., the amount by which the individual’s actual Matching Contributions exceeds what they would have been if limited to the maximum permitted contribution percentage).

(2)

Add up excess amount for Highly Compensated Employees. Rather than distribute amounts determined in (1) to the individuals whose Matching Contributions exceeded the maximum permitted contribution percentage, these amounts will be added together to determine an aggregate amount of excess contributions.

(3)

Reduce Matching Contributions. The Committee or Administrative Delegate will reduce Matching Contributions of Highly Compensated Employees who received the highest dollar amount by the amount required to cause his or her Matching Contributions to equal the amount received by the Highly Compensated Employee with the next highest dollar amount. The Committee or Administrative Delegate will continue making such reductions until the aggregate amount of reductions equals the total determined in (2).

(1)

The vested percentage of the excess amount shall be distributed to the Participant in the same manner described in Section 5.2(e). The vested percentage will be the percent that would have been vested if the Participant’s Termination of Service had occurred on December 31 of the Plan Year for which the excess contributions were made.

In the case of a Highly Compensated Employee who is an eligible employee in more than one plan of the Company to which matching contributions or employee contributions are made, the amount of the excess contributions apportioned for a Plan Year with respect to such Highly Compensated Employee shall not exceed the amount of Matching Contributions actually contributed to the Plan for the Highly Compensated Employee for the Plan Year.

Income or losses on refunded excess contributions shall be determined using the “alternative method of allocating plan year income” pursuant to Treasury Regulation § 1.401(m)-2(b)(iv)(C).

• Accounts for Participants. The following Accounts may be established under the Plan for a Participant:

More than one of any of the above types of Accounts may be established if required by the Plan or if considered advisable by the Committee or Administrative Delegate in the administration of the Plan. Except as expressly provided herein to the contrary, the Trust Fund shall be held and invested on a commingled basis, Accounts shall be for bookkeeping purposes only, and the establishment of Accounts shall not require any segregation of Trust Fund assets.

• Investment of Accounts. Each Participant shall direct the investment of his or her Accounts, subject to the following:

(a)

The Committee shall determine the investment options which will be made available under the Plan from time to time, and may add or delete investment options, except for the Company Stock investment option which shall always be an investment option under the Plan, and the Committee shall have no discretion with respect to investments in or disposition of Company Stock.

(2)

The investment options available under the Plan shall be described in such materials as the Committee deems suitable under the circumstances (including materials required to be disclosed under ERISA § 404(c)) and furnished by the Committee, the Administrative Delegate or the Plan’s recordkeeper to Participants from time to time.

(b)

A Participant shall direct the investment of his or her Accounts in accordance with such rules and regulations as the Committee or Administrative Delegate may in its absolute discretion establish and communicate to Participants from time to time. All investment directions by a Participant must be complete as to the terms of the investment transaction. Each proper investment direction shall be in effect until a new investment direction is made by the Participant. No Trustee shall have any obligation whatsoever to invest or manage any assets held in any Account subject to Participant investment direction, its sole duty being to follow within a reasonable period of time all proper directions of the Participant (or, to the extent provided in Section 6.2(d), the Committee) which are made in accordance with the Plan and which are not contrary to ERISA. The Accounts of a Participant for whom no proper investment direction is in effect shall be invested automatically in the investment option designated by the Committee for such Accounts and which is a qualified default investment alternative within the meaning of the regulations under ERISA § 404(c)(5).

(c)

To the extent necessary or appropriate for the Committee and other Plan fiduciaries to take advantage of the relief afforded to Plan fiduciaries under ERISA § 404(c) and the related regulations, the Committee shall (1) determine the manner and frequency of investment directions and any limitations on the directions, (2) establish procedures necessary or appropriate to implement Participant directions, including procedures to maintain the confidentiality of any directions (including directions regarding voting, tender, exchange or similar rights) for which confidentiality is required under ERISA § 404(c) and (3) designate a fiduciary (which fiduciary shall be independent if required under ERISA § 404(c)) who is obligated to implement Participant directions and who is obligated to ensure that any Plan procedures to maintain the confidentiality of Participant directions are followed. Any procedures adopted to implement Participant directions, as such procedures may be modified from time to time by the Committee or Administrative Delegate in their discretion, are incorporated into and made a part of this Plan. In addition, the Committee may appoint a third party proxy vendor to the extent the Committee or Administrative Delegate deems appropriate in connection with proxy solicitations under the Plan.

(d)

Unless the Committee directs the Trustee on the voting, tendering or exchange of shares of stock or mutual funds including shares of Company Stock or shares of the Company’s proprietary mutual funds (in which case the Trustee shall follow such direction), the Committee shall pass all rights to vote, tender or exchange through to Participants. If the Committee passes the right to vote, tender or exchange through to Participants, the Committee shall send or direct to be sent (or if necessary to satisfy ERISA § 404(c), shall appoint an independent fiduciary to send) to each Participant whose Accounts hold shares entitled to vote on a given issue (or shares subject to a tender or exchange offer) a copy of the proxy solicitation material, together with a form requesting confidential directions to the Trustee on the voting, tendering or exchange of the shares allocated to his or her Accounts. Directions received from Participants by the Trustee shall be held in the strictest confidence and shall be handled in the manner necessary for the Plan

fiduciaries to have the protection of ERISA § 404(c). The Trustee shall vote the shares for which direction is given by the Participants in accordance with such direction. To the extent no direction is given with respect to shares, such shares shall not be voted, tendered or exchanged unless the Committee directs the Trustee to vote, tender or exchange such shares in proportion to the shares for which Participant direction is received. The rights extended to Participants by this Section shall also apply to the Beneficiaries of deceased Participants. To extent the Committee passes the right to vote, tender or exchange shares of Company stock through to Participants and designates an independent fiduciary under ERISA § 404(c) to avoid the potential for undue employer influence with respect to such tender or exchange, such independent fiduciary shall act in place of the Trustee under this Section 6.2(d). For these purposes, proxies may be distributed electronically and Participant and Beneficiaries may vote proxies electronically.

(e)

If a tender or exchange offer for shares of Company Stock is limited so that all of the shares that the independent fiduciary has been directed to tender or exchange cannot be sold or exchanged, the shares that each Participant directed be tendered or exchanged shall be deemed to have been sold or exchanged in the same ratio that the number of shares actually sold or exchanged bears to the total number of shares that the independent fiduciary was directed to tender or exchange. Shares sold or exchanged at the direction of a Participant shall be deemed to come first out of the shares allocated to the Participant’s Accounts and only after all of those shares have been sold or exchanged, out of the Unallocated Reserve.

(f)

The foregoing provisions allowing Participants to direct investment of their Accounts are intended to satisfy the ESOP diversification requirements of Code §401(a)(28)(B). The Plan is also intended to constitute a plan described in ERISA § 404(c) and the Company intends that the fiduciaries of the Plan be relieved of liability for any losses which are the direct and necessary result of investment directions given by Participants.

Each Participant and each Beneficiary of a deceased Participant may direct the Trustee to divest that the portion of his or her Account invested in Company Stock and to reinvest an amount equivalent to the value of such Company Stock in another Investment Option.

• Valuation of Accounts. As of each Valuation Date, each Account shall be adjusted to reflect the effect of investment gains or losses, income, contributions, distributions, forfeitures, transfers, loans and all other transactions with respect to that Account since the next preceding Valuation Date. All such adjustments shall be made by the Committee or an Administrative Delegate, using procedures that the Committee deems reasonable and appropriate under the circumstances.

• Rollover Contributions. With the consent of the Committee or the Administrative Delegate, which shall be granted if it determines the amount to be transferred constitutes a Rollover Contribution, a Participant may transfer to the Trust Fund an amount that constitutes a Rollover Contribution. A Participant shall provide such evidence as the Committee or its

Administrative Delegate requires to establish that the contribution is a Rollover Contribution. A Rollover Account shall be established for each Participant who makes a Rollover Contribution.

• Rollovers and Transfers to Other Qualified Plans. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary that would otherwise limit a distributee’s election under this Section 6.5, a distributee may elect, at the time and in the manner prescribed by the Committee, to have any portion of an eligible rollover distribution equal to or greater than $200 paid directly to another eligible retirement plan specified by the distributee in a direct rollover. The following definitions shall be used in administering the provisions of this Section 6.5.

(a)

Eligible Rollover Distribution: An eligible rollover distribution is any distribution of all or any portion of the balance to the credit of the distributee, except that an eligible rollover distribution does not include: any distribution that is one of a series of substantially equal periodic payments (not less frequently than annually) made for the life (or life expectancy) of the distributee or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the distributee and the distributee’s designated Beneficiary, or for a specified period of ten years or more; any distribution to the extent such distribution is required under Code §401(a)(9); any hardship withdrawals; and the portion of any distribution that is not includible in gross income (determined without regard to the exclusion of net unrealized appreciation with respect to employer securities).

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 includible in gross income. However, such portion may be transferred only to an individual retirement account or annuity described in Code §§ 408(a) or (b), or to a qualified defined contribution plan described in Code §§ 401(a) or 403(a) that agrees to separately account for amounts so transferred, including separately accounting for the portion of such distribution which is includible in gross income and the portion of such distribution which is not so includible.

(b)

Eligible Retirement Plan: An eligible retirement plan is an individual retirement account described in Code §408(a), an individual retirement annuity described in Code §408(b), an annuity plan described in Code §403(a), or a qualified trust described in Code §401(a), that accepts the distributee’s eligible rollover distribution.

An eligible retirement plan is (1) an individual retirement account described in Code §408(a), (2) an individual retirement annuity described in Code §408(b), (3) an annuity plan described in Code §403(a), or (4) a qualified trust described in Code §401(a), (5) an annuity contract described in Code §403(b) and (6) an eligible plan under Code §457(b) which is maintained by a State, political subdivision of a State, or any agency or instrumentality of a State or political subdivision of a State and which agrees to separately account for amounts transferred into such plan from this Plan. The definition of eligible retirement plan shall also apply in the case of a distribution to a surviving Spouse, or to a Spouse or former Spouse who is the alternate payee under a qualified domestic relation

order, as defined in Code §414(p). For a Beneficiary who is not the Participant’s Spouse or former Spouse, an eligible retirement plan means an individual retirement account described in Code § Section 408(a) or an individual retirement annuity described in Code § 408(b), each of which is established for the purpose of receiving such distribution on behalf of such Beneficiary and is treated as an inherited individual retirement account or individual retirement annuity (within the meaning of Code § 408(d)(3)(C)) for purposes of Code § 402(c)(11).

Section 6.6. Transferred CitiStreet Employees’ Matching Contributions.

Each Transferred CitiStreet Employee who becomes an active Participant in the Plan pursuant to Section 3.3 and receives a Matching Contribution pursuant to Section 4.4(b) shall have the Matching Contribution invested pursuant to his or her direction effective as of the date such Matching Contribution is actually credited to his or her Matching Account. In no event shall any investment earnings be credited to the Participant’s Matching Account for any period preceding the date on which such Matching Contribution is credited to his or her Account.

• Persons Eligible to Designate. Any Participant may designate a Beneficiary to receive any amount payable from the Trust Fund as a result of the Participant’s death. The Beneficiary may be one or more persons, natural or otherwise. By way of illustration, but not by way of limitation, the Beneficiary may be an individual, trustee, executor, or administrator. However, a Participant may not make a designation "per stirpes". A Participant may also change or revoke a designation previously made, without the consent of any Beneficiary named therein.

• Special Requirements for Married Participants. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7.1, if a Participant is married at the time of his or her death, his or her Beneficiary shall be his or her Spouse unless the Spouse has consented in writing to the designation of a different Beneficiary, the Spouse’s consent acknowledges the effect of the designation, and the Spouse’s consent is witnessed by a representative of the Plan or a notary public. The previous sentence shall not apply if it is established to the satisfaction of the Committee that such consent cannot be obtained because there is no Spouse, because the Spouse cannot be located or because of such other circumstances as may be prescribed by Federal regulations. Any designation of a Beneficiary or form of benefits which has received spousal consent may be changed (other than by being revoked) without spousal consent only if the consent by the Spouse expressly permits subsequent designations by the Participant without any requirement of further consent by the Spouse. Any such consent shall be valid only with respect to the Spouse who signed the consent.

• Form and Method of Designation. Any designation or revocation of a prior designation of Beneficiary shall be in writing on a form acceptable to the Committee and shall be filed with the Administrative Delegate. The Company, the Committee, the Administrative Delegate and all other parties involved in making payment to a Beneficiary may rely on the latest Beneficiary designation on file with the Administrative Delegate at the time of the Participant’s death or may make payment pursuant to Section 7.4 if an effective designation is not on file, shall be fully protected in doing so, and shall have no liability whatsoever to any person making claim for such payment under a subsequently filed designation of Beneficiary or for any other reason.

• No Effective Designation. If there is not on file with the Administrative Delegate an effective designation of Beneficiary by a deceased Participant on the date of his or her death, his or her Beneficiary shall be the person or persons surviving him or her in the first of the following classes in which there is a survivor, share and share alike:

(b)

His or her children, except that if any of his or her children predecease him but leave issue surviving him or her, such issue shall take by right of representation the share their parent would have taken if living.

Determination of the identity of the Beneficiary in each case shall be made by the Committee or Administrative Delegate.

• Beneficiary May Not Designate. No Beneficiary may designate a successor beneficiary. If a Beneficiary who is entitled to receive payments under the Plan dies before all such payments have been made, the balance of any payments remaining due will be payable to a contingent Beneficiary if the Participant’s Beneficiary designation so provides, otherwise to the personal representative (executor or administrator) of the deceased Beneficiary.

• Domestic Partner Treated as Spouse. For purposes of this Article VII, the term “Spouse” shall also mean the Domestic Partner of a Participant; however, a Participant who has a Domestic Partner may designate a Beneficiary other than his or her Domestic Partner without such Domestic Partner's consent.

• Benefit on Retirement or Disability. If a Participant’s Termination of Service occurs (for any reason other than his or her death) after any of the following events, he or she shall be 100% vested in and shall be entitled to a benefit equal to the value of all of his or her Accounts:

The benefit shall be paid at the times and in the manner determined under Article IX.

• Other Termination of Service. If a Participant’s Termination of Service occurs (for any reason other than his or her death) under circumstances such that he or she is not 100% vested in all Accounts under Section 8.1, he or she shall be entitled to a benefit equal to the total value of his or her Deferral Account, Catch-Up Account, Rollover Account, and QNEC/QMAC Account, and also a benefit equal to the vested percentage of the value of his or her other Accounts as determined under this Section 8.2. Determinations of the vested percentage under this Section 8.2 are subject to the following:

(1)

Each Participant who entered into a Career Agent Agreement on or after January 1, 2002, shall have the following vesting schedule for his or her other Accounts based on his or her Years of Vested Service:

Years of Vesting Service	Vested Percentage
1	25%
2	50%
3	75%
4	100%

(2)

For each Participant who entered into a Career Agent Agreement on or prior to January 1, 2002, will vest under the following 3 year vesting schedule, based on his or her Years of Vested Service:

Years of Vesting Service	Vested Percentage
1	55%
2	75%
3	100%

(b)

The portion of a Participant’s Accounts that is not vested shall be transferred to the Participant’s Forfeiture Account after his or her Termination of Service. Thereafter, the disposition of said Forfeiture Account shall be as follows:

Notwithstanding the preceding, if a Participant’s vested percentage in his or her Accounts is zero, the Participant shall be deemed to have received a distribution of the vested portion of such Accounts when he or she has a Termination of Service.

(2)

If the Participant is reemployed by the Company before incurring a Five-Year Break and before withdrawing the vested portion of his or her Accounts, any amounts held in his or her Forfeiture Account will be transferred back to the Participant’s Accounts.

(c)

If a Participant who incurred a forfeiture under subsection (b) resumes employment covered under the Plan before he or she has a Five-Year Break and the requirements of (l), (2), and (3) are met, an amount will be restored to his or her Accounts equal to the amount which was forfeited, determined as of the date of the forfeiture:

(2)

Not later than the close of the second Plan Year following the Plan Year in which the Participant’s Termination of Service occurred, he or she received the entire vested benefit to which he or she was entitled under the Plan.

If the requirements of (1) and (2) are met but the Participant does not make the repayment required in (3), the forfeiture will not be reinstated. If the requirements of (l) or (2) are not met (e.g., the Participant’s vested percentage was zero, or the Participant did not receive his or her entire distribution by the close of the second Plan Year following the Plan Year of his or her Termination of Service), then the forfeited amounts will automatically be reinstated to the Accounts from which the forfeiture occurred only if the Participant repays any amounts received from the Plan. Amounts required to reinstate Accounts pursuant to this subsection will come first from other forfeitures, to the extent adequate, and then from employer contributions.

(d)

When calculating the vested percentage of a Participant’s Accounts, if a Participant has a Five-Year Break, then years of Vesting Service after the break shall not increase the vested percentage of the portion of his or her Accounts which accrued prior to the break.

(f)

If an amendment to the Plan changes the vesting schedule of the Plan, each Participant having not less than three (3) Years of Vesting Service by the end of the election period with respect to such amendment shall be permitted within such election period to elect to have his or her vested percentage computed under the Plan without regard to such amendment. Each such election shall be made in writing by filing with the Committee within the election period a form available from the Committee for this purpose. The election period shall be a reasonable period determined by the Committee commencing not later than the date the amendment is adopted and shall be in conformance with any applicable regulation prescribed by the Secretary of Labor or the Secretary of the Treasury. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no election need be provided for any Participant whose vested percentage under the Plan, as amended, cannot at any time be less than his or her vested percentage determined without regard to such amendment.

• Death. If a Participant’s Termination of Service is the result of his or her death, his or her Beneficiary shall be entitled to a benefit equal to the value of all of his or her Accounts. Such benefit shall be paid at the times and in the manner determined under Article IX. If a Participant’s death occurs after his or her Termination of Service, a distribution of the balance of his or her Accounts shall be made to his or her Beneficiary in accordance with the provisions of Article IX.

• Time and Method of Payment. Except as provided in Section 9.2, the benefit to which a Participant or Beneficiary may become entitled under Article VIII shall be distributed at such time and according to such method as he or she elects, subject to the following:

(a)

Distributions to which a Participant is entitled may begin at any time after his or her Termination of Service, but must begin not later than his or her required beginning date, subject to the following:

(1)

Any distribution (other than an in-service withdrawal under Section 9.12 or a minimum distribution under Section 9.14) to a Participant or Beneficiary under the Plan shall be made in (i) a single sum, or (ii) (subject to Section 9.2) monthly, quarterly or annual installments over a period of either 60 or 120 months, as elected by the Participant or Beneficiary. A Participant or Beneficiary who elects a distribution in the form of installments may elect at a later time to receive any unpaid portion of his or her benefit in a lump sum. No other forms of payment shall be available with respect to a Participant or Beneficiary for any such distribution

(2)

Pursuant to Code §401(a)(14), a Participant has the right to receive distributions from the Plan at the later of attainment of age 65 or Termination of Service. If a Participant who has a Termination of Service does not request a distribution on or before age 65, he or she will be deemed to have elected to defer such distribution until the earlier of the date he or she requests a distribution or his or her “required beginning date” as defined below. Such distributions will be made upon receipt of proper instructions from the Participant.

(3)

A Participant’s “required beginning date” is April 1 of the Plan Year following the later of (i) the Plan Year in which the Participant attains age 70½, or (ii) the Plan Year in which the Participant’s Termination of Service occurs. However, if the Participant is a 5% owner, as described in Code §416, the required beginning date is April 1 following the Plan Year he or she reaches age 70½, regardless of whether he or she has had a Termination of Service .

(b)

For any Participant who does not elect to take a distribution from the Plan and is required to begin receiving a distribution pursuant to Section 9.14, the Plan shall distribute the minimum amount required to be distributed in accordance with Code §401(a)(9).

(c)

The Account of a Participant whose status has changed to that of an Employee or a Statutory Employee, but not an Eligible Employee, shall be retained in this Plan until there is a distribution event under this Article IX. A Statutory Employee is

not entitled to a distribution while he or she is a Statutory Employee or a common law employee of the Company or an Affiliate.

• Accounts Totaling $1,000 or Less. If the current value of the Accounts of a Participant (or a Beneficiary following the Participant’s death) is $1,000 or less at the time a distribution is to commence, then, notwithstanding any election in effect for such Participant or Beneficiary, a single-sum distribution shall be made to the Participant (or Beneficiary) as soon as administratively feasible following the Participant’s Termination of Service or death. The Rollover Account of a Participant or Beneficiary shall be included in determining the value of his or her Accounts for purposes of this Section 9.2.

• Cash or Company Stock. Distributions from Accounts shall be made in shares of Company Stock or in cash, as elected by the Participant or Beneficiary.

• Accounting Following Termination of Service. The Participant’s Accounts shall continue to be invested and valued as provided in Article VI until distributed.

• Reemployment. Except as permitted by the Plan provisions regarding in-service withdrawals or minimum distributions, no distribution shall be made to a Participant during any period prior to his or her required beginning date while he or she is reemployed by the Company or Controlled Group Member.

• Source of Benefits. All benefits to which persons become entitled hereunder shall be provided only out of the Trust Fund and only to the extent that the Trust Fund is adequate therefore. No benefits are provided under the Plan except those expressly described herein. Each Participant and Beneficiary assumes all risk connected with any decrease in the market value of any assets held under the Plan. The Company does not in any way guarantee the Trust Fund against any loss or depreciation, or the payment of any amount that may be or become due to any person from the Trust Fund.

• Incompetent Payee. The Committee may in its discretion direct that Plan payments be made (a) directly to an incompetent or disabled person, whether because of minority or mental or physical disability, (b) to the guardian or person having custody of such incompetent or disabled person, or (c) to any other person authorized to receive such payments on behalf of such incompetent or disabled person under any state statute, without further liability either on the part of the Committee, Company or Trustee for the amount of such payment to the person on whose account such payment is made.

• Missing Participant or Beneficiary. If a Participant’s Accounts become payable under this Article IX and the Committee, after making reasonable efforts to do so, is unable to locate the Participant or Beneficiary for such Accounts, such person shall be presumed dead as of the last day of the Plan Year which includes the first anniversary of the date such Accounts first became payable under this Article IX and the Accounts shall be treated as forfeitures. However, if the missing Participant or Beneficiary files a claim for the benefit while this Plan remains in effect and demonstrates his or her identity to the satisfaction of the Committee, then the vested portion of the Participant’s Accounts shall be restored and paid (from forfeitures or from additional Company contributions) to such person.

• Benefits May Not Be Assigned or Alienated. Except as otherwise expressly permitted by the Plan or required by law, the interest of persons entitled to benefits under the Plan may not in any manner whatsoever be assigned or alienated, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, or directly or indirectly. However, the Plan shall comply with the provisions of any court order which the Committee determines is a qualified domestic relations order as defined in Code §414(p). Notwithstanding any provisions in the Plan to the contrary, an individual who is entitled to payments from the Plan as an “alternate payee” pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order will receive a lump sum payment from the Plan as soon as administratively feasible after the Committee’s determination that the order is a qualified domestic relations order, unless the order specifically provides for payment to be made at a later time. The Committee shall defer distributions from a Participant’s Account subject to a domestic relations order pending determination that the order is qualified. Also, a Participant’s Accounts may be offset as provided by Code §401(a)(13)(C) by amounts the Participant is required to pay the Plan due to commission of a crime, breach of fiduciary duty, or the like.

• Payment of Taxes. The Trustee shall withhold any applicable income or other tax from benefits paid under the Plan.

• Conditions Precedent. No person shall be entitled to a benefit hereunder until his or her right thereto has been finally determined by the Committee, Administrative Delegate or other recordkeeper, nor until he or she has submitted relevant data reasonably requested by the Company or other recordkeeper.

• Withdrawals Before Termination of Service. The following types of withdrawals are available to a Participant prior to Termination of Service. No more than two (2) withdrawals in any category specified in this Section 9.12 or in any Appendix to the Plan may be made in any Plan Year. Each withdrawal before a Termination of Service shall be made in a single sum payment.

(b)

A Participant who has attained age 59½ may withdraw all or any part of his or her vested Account. If a Participant makes such a withdrawal at a time when his or her Vested Percentage is less than 100%, any subsequent withdrawal or distribution occurring before he or she is 100% vested will be adjusted to reflect the effect of the withdrawal.

(c)

A Participant who has not attained age 59½ may request a hardship withdrawal from his or her Deferral Account, Catch-up Account or Matching Account. Such withdrawals are subject to the following rules:

(C)

Payment of tuition, related educational fees and room and board expenses for up to the next 12 months of post-secondary education for the Participant, or for his or her Spouse, children or dependents as defined in Code §152, without regard to § 152(b)(1), (b)(2), and (d)(1)(B).

(F)

Expenses for the repair of damage to the Participant’s principal residence that qualify for the casualty deduction under Code §165 (determined without regard to whether the loss exceeds 10% of adjusted gross income).

(A)

The amount of the distribution cannot exceed the amount of the immediate and heavy financial need of the Participant, including any amount required to cover taxes the Participant can reasonably be expected to incur in connection with the distribution. The Company may reasonably rely on the Participant’s representation as to that amount.

(B)

The Participant must have obtained all distributions, other than hardship distributions, distribution of ESOP dividends under Code §404(k), and all nontaxable loans currently available under all plans maintained by the Company or any Affiliate.

(C)

The Participant’s elective contributions and employee contributions under all qualified and non-qualified plans of deferred compensation maintained by the Company or an Affiliate shall be suspended for a period of six (6) months when any portion of the hardship withdrawal is funded with employee elective deferrals. If no employee elective deferrals are used to fund the hardship withdrawal request, no suspension shall be required to be made.

(a)

The Committee or an Administrative Delegate shall be the named fiduciary responsible for the administration of the loan program under the Plan. The Administrative Delegate shall establish written procedures for loan applications and shall approve the form of the promissory note evidencing a loan under this Plan and the security agreement between the Plan and a Participant or Beneficiary. Any such loan application procedures, promissory notes or security agreements as in effect from time to time hereby are expressly incorporated by reference as part of this Plan. Such loan documents may be maintained electronically.

(b)

A loan may be made under this Plan to each Participant or to each Beneficiary who is a “party in interest” (as defined in ERISA § 3(14)) from such Participant’s or Beneficiary’s vested Account if he or she properly completes and delivers to the Administrative Delegate a loan application in accordance with the loan application procedures established by the Committee for this purpose. All such loan requests made in accordance with such procedures shall be granted on a reasonably equivalent basis (within the meaning of Code §4975(d)(1)(A) and ERISA §408(b)(1)(A)) for similarly situated parties in interest subject to the conditions set forth in the loan application procedures. Loans shall not be made to Highly Compensated Employees in an amount greater than the amount made available to other employees. Loans must be adequately secured and bear a reasonable interest rate and the principal amount of a loan shall not exceed the Participant’s Vested Account. In the event of a default, foreclosure on the note and attachment of the security will not occur until a distributable event occurs under Article IX. Loan repayments will be suspended as permitted under Code §414(u)(4) in the event of military service covered by USERRA. A Participant who has defaulted on a loan shall not be eligible for another loan and a Participant shall not be allowed to repay a defaulted loan.

(2)

Precedence. The requirements of this Section 9.14 will take precedence over any inconsistent provisions of the Plan. However, a Participant may elect to receive a distribution in excess of the amount required under this Section 9.14 to the extent permitted under the distribution provisions of the Plan (other than this Section 9.14).

(3)

Requirements of Treasury Regulations Incorporated. All distributions required under this Section 9.14 will be determined and made in accordance with the Treasury regulations under Code §401(a)(9).

(4)

TEFRA Section 242(b)(2) Elections. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 9.14, 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.

(2)

Death of Participant Before Distributions Begin. If the Participant dies before distributions begin, the Participant’s entire interest will be distributed, or begin to be distributed, no later than as follows:

(A)

If the Participant’s surviving Spouse is the Participant’s sole Designated Beneficiary, then, distributions to the surviving Spouse will begin by December 31 of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which the Participant died, or by December 31 of the calendar year in which the Participant would have attained age 70½, if later.

(B)

If the Participant’s surviving Spouse is not the Participant’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 Participant died.

(C)

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

(D)

If the Participant’s surviving Spouse is the Participant’s sole Designated Beneficiary and the surviving Spouse dies after the Participant but before distributions to the surviving Spouse begin, this Section 9.14(b)(2), other than Section 9.14(b)(2)(A), will apply as if the surviving Spouse were the Participant.

For purposes of this Section 9.14(b)(2) and Section 9.14(d), unless Section 9.14(b)(2)(D) applies, distributions are considered to begin on the Participant’s Required Beginning Date. If Section 9.14(b)(2)(D) applies, distributions are considered to begin on the date distributions are required

to begin to the surviving Spouse under Section 9.14(b)(2)(A). If distributions under an annuity purchased from an insurance company irrevocably commence to the Participant before the Participant’s Required Beginning Date (or to the Participant’s surviving Spouse before the date distributions are required to begin to the surviving Spouse under Section 9.14(b)(2)(A)), the date distributions are considered to begin is the date distributions actually commence.

(3)

Forms of Distribution. Unless the Participant’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 Section 9.14(c) and Section 9.14(d). If the Participant’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 Code §401(a)(9) and the Treasury regulations.

(1)

Amount of Required Minimum Distribution For Each Distribution Calendar Year. During the Participant’s lifetime, the minimum amount that will be distributed for each Distribution Calendar Year is the lesser of:

(A)

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

(B)

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

(2)

Lifetime Required Minimum Distributions Continue Through Year of Participant’s Death. Required minimum distributions will be determined under this Section 9.14(c) beginning with the first Distribution Calendar Year and up to and including the Distribution Calendar Year that includes the Participant’s date of death.

(A)

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

(ii)

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

(iii)

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

(B)

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

(A)

Participant Survived by Designated Beneficiary. If the Participant dies before the date distributions begin and there is a Designated Beneficiary, the minimum amount that will be distributed for each Distribution Calendar Year after the year of the Participant’s death is the quotient obtained by dividing the Participant’s Account Balance by the remaining Life Expectancy of the Participant’s Designated Beneficiary, determined as provided in Section 9.14(d)(1).

(B)

No Designated Beneficiary. If the Participant dies before the date distributions begin and there is no Designated Beneficiary as of September 30 of the year following the year of the Participant’s death, distribution of the Participant’s entire interest will be completed by December 31 of the calendar year containing the fifth anniversary of the Participant’s death.

(C)

Death of Surviving Spouse Before Distributions to Surviving Spouse Are Required to Begin. If the Participant dies before the date distributions begin, the Participant’s surviving Spouse is the Participant’s sole Designated Beneficiary, and the surviving Spouse dies before distributions are required to begin to the surviving Spouse under Section 9.14(b)(2), this Section 9.14(d)(2) will apply as if the surviving Spouse were the Participant.

(1)

Designated Beneficiary. The individual who is designated as the Beneficiary pursuant to Article VII of the Plan and is the Designated Beneficiary under Code §401(a)(9) and § 1.401(a)(9)-1, Q&A-4, of the Treasury regulations.

(2)

Distribution Calendar Year. A calendar year for which a minimum distribution is required. For distributions beginning before the Participant’s death, the first Distribution Calendar Year is the calendar year immediately preceding the calendar year which contains the Participant’s Required Beginning Date. For distributions beginning after the Participant’s death, the first Distribution Calendar Year is the calendar year in which distributions are required to begin under Section 9.14(b)(2). The required minimum distribution for the Participant’s first Distribution Calendar Year will be made on or before the Participant’s Required Beginning Date. The required minimum distribution for other Distribution Calendar Years, including the required minimum distribution for the Distribution Calendar Year in which the Participant’s Required Beginning Date occurs, will be made on or before December 31 of that Distribution Calendar Year.

(4)

Participant’s Account Balance. The Account balance 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 Account balance 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. The Account balance for the valuation calendar year includes any amounts rolled over or transferred to the Plan either in the valuation calendar year or in the Distribution Calendar Year if distributed or transferred in the valuation calendar year.

• Composition. All sums of money and all securities and other property received by a Trustee for purposes of the Plan, together with all investments made therewith, the proceeds thereof, and all earnings and accumulations thereon, and the part from time to time remaining shall constitute the “Trust Fund”.

• Trustee. The Trust Fund may be held and invested as one fund or may be divided into any number of parts for investment purposes. Each part of the Trust Fund, or the entire Trust Fund if it is not divided into parts for investment purposes, shall be held and invested by one or more Trustees. The selection and appointment of each Trustee shall be made by the Committee. The Committee shall have the right at any time to remove a Trustee and appoint a successor thereto, subject only to the terms of any applicable Trust Agreement. The Committee shall have the right to determine the form and substance of each Trust Agreement under which any part of the Trust Fund is held, subject only to the requirement that they are not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan. Any such Trust Agreement may contain provisions pursuant to which the Trustee will make investments on direction of Participants or a third party.

• Compensation and Expenses. All expenses of the Plan and the Trust Fund shall, to the extent permitted by law, be paid from the Trust Fund by the Trustee unless the Company elects (in its sole discretion) to pay such expenses. The Plan shall reimburse the Company for any expenses incurred by the Company that are expenses of the Plan or the Trust Fund to the extent that (i) the Company seeks such reimbursement and (ii) such reimbursement is permitted by law.

• Investment in Company Stock. Subject to any applicable limitations in Section 6.2, all or part of the Trust Fund may be invested in Company Stock. The Company Stock shall be held in a Company Stock fund and the Trustee may hold a portion of the Company Stock fund in cash, cash equivalents, or investments other than Company Stock.

• Other Investments. Investments other than Company Stock shall be held by a Trustee in such amounts and in such investment options as are designated by Participants pursuant to rules established by the Committee.

• No Diversion. The Trust Fund shall be for the exclusive purpose of providing benefits to Participants under the Plan and their beneficiaries and defraying reasonable expenses of administering the Plan. No part of the corpus or income of the Trust Fund may be used for, or diverted to, purposes other than for the exclusive benefit of Participants and Beneficiaries. However, if any contribution or portion thereof is made by the Company by mistake of fact, the Trustee shall, upon written request of the Committee or the Company, return such contribution or portion thereof to the Company within one year after the payment of the contribution to the Trustee; however, earnings attributable to such contribution or portion thereof shall not be returned to the Company, but shall remain in the Trust Fund, and the amount returned to the Company shall be reduced by any losses attributable to such contribution or portion thereof. In the case of any such return of contribution the Committee shall cause such adjustments to be

made to the Accounts of Participants as it considers fair and equitable under the circumstances resulting in the return of such contribution.

• Administration by Committee. The Plan will be administered by the Committee, and responsibilities of the Committee under the Plan may also be carried out by on or more delegates. The Committee may delegate responsibilities under the Plan to employees of the Company or an Affiliate or to one or more Administrative Delegates. The Committee (or to the extent the Committee has delegated its administrative responsibility under this Plan, its delegate) shall have the exclusive responsibility and complete discretionary authority to control the operation, management and administration of this Plan, with all powers necessary to enable it properly to carry out such responsibilities, including (but not limited to) the power to construe this Plan, to determine eligibility for benefits and to resolve all administrative, interpretative, operational, equitable and other questions of any kind or description that arise under this Plan and to settle disputed claims. All disbursements shall be made upon, and in accordance with, the written instructions of the Committee or its delegate. The decisions of the Committee (or its delegate) on all matters within the scope of its authority shall be final and binding upon all persons.

(b)

A Named Fiduciary, or a fiduciary designated by a Named Fiduciary pursuant to the provisions of the Plan, may employ one or more persons to render advice with regard to any responsibility such fiduciary has under the Plan.

(c)

To the extent permitted by any applicable trust agreement, a Named Fiduciary with respect to control of management of the assets of the Plan may appoint an investment manager or managers, as defined in ERISA, to manage (including the power to acquire and dispose of) any assets of the Plan.

(d)

At any time the Plan has more than one Named Fiduciary, if pursuant to the Plan provisions fiduciary responsibilities are not already allocated among such Named Fiduciaries, the Committee may provide for such allocation; except that such allocation shall not include any responsibility, if any, in a trust agreement to manage or control the assets of the Plan other than a power under the trust agreement to appoint an investment manager as defined in ERISA.

(e)

Unless expressly prohibited in the appointment of a Named Fiduciary, such Named Fiduciary by written instrument may designate a person or persons other than such Named Fiduciary to carry out any or all of the fiduciary responsibilities under the Plan for such Named Fiduciary; except that such designation shall not include any responsibility, if any, in a trust agreement to manage or control the assets of the Plan other than a power under the trust agreement to appoint an investment manager as defined in ERISA.

(f)

A person who is a fiduciary with respect to the Plan, including a Named Fiduciary, shall be recognized and treated as a fiduciary only with respect to the particular fiduciary functions as to which such person has responsibility.

Each fiduciary (other than the Company), each person employed pursuant to (b) above, and each investment manager shall be entitled to receive reasonable compensation for services rendered, or for the reimbursement of expenses properly and actually incurred in the performance of their duties with the Plan and to payment therefore from the Trust Fund if not paid directly by the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no person so serving who already receives full-time pay from any employer whose employees are Participants, or from an employee organization whose members are Participants, shall receive compensation from the Plan, except for reimbursement of expenses properly and actually incurred.

• Evidence. Evidence required of anyone under this Plan may be by certificate, affidavit, document, or other instrument which the person acting in reliance thereon considers to be pertinent and reliable and to be signed, made, or presented to the proper party.

• Correction of Errors. It is recognized that in the operation and administration of the Plan certain mathematical and accounting errors may be made or mistakes may arise by reason of factual errors in information supplied to the Company, Committee, the Administrative Delegate or Trustee. The Committee shall have power to cause such equitable adjustments to be made to correct for such errors as the Committee, in its discretion, considers appropriate. Such adjustments shall be final and binding on all persons. Any return of a contribution due to a mistake of fact will be subject to Section 10.6.

• Records. The Company, each fiduciary with respect to the Plan, and each other person performing any functions in the operation or administration of the Plan or the management or control of the assets of the Plan shall keep such records as may be necessary or appropriate in the discharge of their respective functions hereunder, including records required by ERISA or any other applicable law. Records may be retained on paper, electronically or otherwise. Records shall be retained as long as necessary for the proper administration of the Plan and at least for any period required by ERISA or other applicable law.

• Claims Procedure. The Committee shall establish a claims procedure consistent with the requirements of ERISA. Such claims procedure shall provide adequate notice in writing to any Participant or Beneficiary whose claim for benefits under the Plan has been denied, setting forth the specific reasons for such denial, written in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant and shall afford a reasonable opportunity to a claimant whose claim for benefits has been denied for a full and fair review by the Committee of the decision denying the claim. No person claiming a benefit under the Plan may initiate a civil action regarding the claim until all steps under the claims procedure (including appeals) have been completed.

• Bonding. Plan personnel shall be bonded to the extent required by ERISA. Premiums for such bonding may, in the sole discretion of the Committee, be paid in whole or in part from the Trust Fund. Such premiums may also be paid in whole or in part by the Company. The Committee may provide by an agreement with any person that the premiums or required bonding shall be paid by such person.

• Waiver of Notice. Any notice required hereunder may be waived by the person entitled thereto.

• Agent for Legal Process. The Company or the Committee shall be the agent for service of legal process with respect to any matter concerning the Plan, unless and until the Company or the Committee designates some other person as such agent.

• Indemnification. In addition to any other applicable provisions for indemnification, the Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the extent permitted by law, each member of the Committee and each director, officer, and employee (collectively referred to herein as “Indemnitee”) of the Company or an Affiliate against any and all liabilities, losses, costs, or expenses (including legal fees) of whatsoever kind and nature which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against such person at any time by reason of such person’s services as a fiduciary in connection with the Plan, but only if such person did not act dishonestly, or in bad faith, or in willful violation of the law or regulations under which such liability, loss, cost, or expense arises. The Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to select counsel and control the defense and settlement of any action against the Indemnitee for which the Indemnitee may be entitled to indemnification under this provision.

• Transition Period to Implement Plan Changes. In connection with a change in record keepers, trustees, or other service providers for the Plan, a change in the methodology for valuing accounts, a change in investment options, a plan merger or other circumstances, or by applicable law, a temporary interruption in the normal operations of the Plan may be required in order to properly implement such change, merger or legal requirement or to take action in light of such circumstances. In such event or under such circumstances, the Committee may take such action as it deems appropriate under the circumstances to implement change, merger or legal requirement or in light of such circumstances, including authorizing a temporary interruption in a Participant’s ability to obtain information about his or her Account, to take distributions from such Account and to make changes in some or all of the investment of that Account, provided the Committee will take appropriate action to give Participants and Beneficiaries as much advance notice of the interruption as possible and to minimize the scope and length of the interruption in normal Plan operations. In addition, when changing investment options, the Committee will take such action as it deems appropriate under the circumstances to direct the investment of the funds pending completion by the Trustee of the administrative processes necessary to transfer investment authority to the Participants and Beneficiaries, including, but not limited to, mapping monies from old funds to new funds.

• Amendment. Subject to the non-diversion provisions of Section 10.6, the Company may amend the Plan at any time and from time to time.

Also, no amendment shall divest a Participant or Beneficiary of any Account balance accrued prior to the amendment.

• Permanent Discontinuance of Contributions. The Board may direct the complete discontinuance of all contributions by the Company under the Plan. In such event, notwithstanding any provisions of the Plan to the contrary, (i) no employee shall become a Participant after such discontinuance, and (ii) each Participant in the employ of the Company at the time of such discontinuance shall be 100% vested in his or her Accounts. Subject to the foregoing, all of the provisions of the Plan shall continue in effect, and upon entitlement thereto distributions shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Article IX.

The Plan and any related trust agreement shall continue in force for the purpose of making such distributions. All distributions shall be made in accordance with Code §§ 401(a) and 401(k).

• Partial Termination. If there is a partial termination of the Plan by operation of law, by amendment of the Plan, or for any other reason, which partial termination shall be confirmed by the Company, each Participant with respect to whom the partial termination applies shall be 100% vested in his or her Accounts. Subject to the foregoing, all of the provisions of the Plan shall continue in effect as to each such Participant, and upon entitlement thereto distributions shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Article IX.

• Merger, Consolidation, or Transfer of Plan Assets. In the case of any merger or consolidation of the Plan with any other plan, or in the case of the transfer of assets or liabilities of the Plan to any other plan, provision shall be made so that each Participant and Beneficiary would (if such other plan then terminated) receive a benefit immediately after the merger, consolidation, or transfer which is equal to or greater than the benefit he or she would have been entitled to receive immediately before the merger, consolidation, or transfer (if the Plan had then terminated). No such merger, consolidation, or transfer shall be effected until such statements with respect thereto, if any, required by ERISA to be filed in advance thereof have been filed.

• Deferral of Distributions. Notwithstanding any provisions of the Plan to the contrary, in the case of a complete discontinuance of contributions to the Plan or of a complete or partial termination of the Plan, the Committee may defer any distribution of benefit payments to

Participants and Beneficiaries with respect to whom such discontinuance or termination applies until after the following have occurred:

(a)

Receipt of a final determination from the Treasury Department or any court of competent jurisdiction regarding the effect of such discontinuance or termination on the qualified status of the Plan under Code §401(a).

• Key Employee Defined. “Key Employee” means any employee or former employee (including any deceased employee) who at any time during the Plan Year that includes the determination date was an officer of the Company or an Affiliate having annual compensation greater than $130,000 (as adjusted under Code §416(i)(1) for Plan Years beginning after December 31, 2002), a 5-percent owner of the Company or an Affiliate, or a 1-percent owner of the Company or an Affiliate having annual compensation of more than $150,000. For this purpose, annual compensation means compensation within the meaning of Code §414(g)(4). The determination of who is a key employee will be made in accordance with Code §416(i)(1) and the applicable regulations and other guidance of general applicability issued thereunder. Non-Key Employee means each Participant other than a Key Employee.

• Determination of Top-Heavy Status. The top-heavy status of the Plan shall be determined according to the following standards and definitions:

(a)

The Plan is a Top-Heavy Plan for a Plan Year if either of the following applies: (1) if this Plan is not part of a required aggregation group and the top-heavy ratio for this Plan exceeds 60%, or (2) if this Plan is part of a required aggregation group of plans and the top-heavy ratio for the group of plans exceeds 60%. However, the Plan is not a Top-Heavy Plan with respect to a Plan Year if it is part of a permissive aggregation group of plans for which the top-heavy ratio does not exceed 60%. Further, a “Top-Heavy Plan” shall not, however, include a plan which consists solely of a cash or deferred arrangement under Code §§401(k)(12) or 401(k)(13) and a matching contribution with respect to which Code §§401(m)(11) or 401(m)(12) is met, but, to the extent permitted under Code §416(g), contributions under such a plan shall be taken into account in determining if other plans in the required aggregation group or permissive aggregation group satisfy the minimum benefit requirements of Code §416(c)(2).

(1)

If the ratio is being determined only for this Plan or if the aggregation group includes only defined contribution plans, the top-heavy ratio is a fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of the account balances of all Key Employees under the defined contribution plans as of the determination date (including any part of any account balance distributed in the one-year period ending on the determination date), 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 ending on the determination date) of all employees under the defined contribution plans as of the determination date. Both the numerator and denominator of the top-heavy ratio shall be adjusted to reflect any contribution which is due but unpaid as of the determination date. The inclusion under this

Section of distributions made during the one-year period ending on the determination date shall also apply to distributions under a terminated plan which, had it not been terminated, would have been aggregated with the Plan under Code §416(g)(2)(A)(i). In the case of a distribution made for a reason other than separation from service, death, or disability, this provision shall be applied by substituting “five year period” for “one year period” wherever “one year period” appears in this Section.

(2)

If the ratio is being determined for a required or permissive aggregation group which includes one or more defined benefit plans, the top-heavy ratio is a fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of account balances of all Key Employees under the defined contribution plans and the present value of accrued benefits under the defined benefit plans for all Key Employees as of the determination date (including any part of any account balance or accrued benefit distributed in the one-year period ending on the determination date), and the denominator of which is the sum of the account balances under the defined contribution plans for all employees and the present value of accrued benefits under the defined benefit plans for all employees as of the determination date (including any part of any account balance or accrued benefit distributed in the one-year period ending on the determination date). Both the numerator and denominator of the top-heavy ratio shall be adjusted to reflect any contribution due but unpaid as of the determination date. The inclusion under this Section of distributions made during the one-year period ending on the determination date shall also apply to distributions under a terminated plan which, had it not been terminated, would have been aggregated with the Plan under Code §416(g)(2)(A)(i). In the case of a distribution made for a reason other than separation from service, death, or disability, this provision shall be applied by substituting “five year period” for “one year period” wherever “one year period” appears in this Section.

(3)

For purposes of paragraphs (1) and (2), 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 the Plan Year ending on the determination date. The account balances and accrued benefits of an employee who is not a Key Employee during the Plan Year ending on the determination date but who was a Key Employee in a prior period will be disregarded. 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 Code §416 and the regulations thereunder. When aggregating plans, the value of account balances and accrued benefits will be calculated with reference to the determination dates that fall within the same calendar year.

the Company that enables a plan described in (i) to meet the requirements of Code §§401(a)(4) and 410.

(d)

“Permissive aggregation group” means the required aggregation group of plans plus any other plan or plans of the employer which, when consolidated s a group with the required aggregation group, would continue to satisfy the requirements of Code §§401(a)(4) and 410.

(g)

For purposes of establishing the “present value” of benefits under a defined benefit plan to compute the top-heavy ratio, any benefit shall be discounted only for mortality and interest based on the interest rate and mortality table specified in the defined benefit plan for this purpose.

(h)

If an individual has not been credited with at least one Hour of Service during the one-year period ending on the determination date with respect to a Plan Year, any account balance or accrued benefit for such individual shall not be taken into account for such Plan Year.

• Minimum Contribution Requirement. For any Plan Year with respect to which the Plan is a Top-Heavy Plan, the employer contributions allocated to each Active Participant who is not a Key Employee and whose Termination of Service has not occurred prior to the end of such Plan Year shall not be less than the minimum amount determined in accordance with the following:

(b)

For purposes of this Section, any employer contribution attributable to a Deferral or similar arrangement shall be taken into account with respect to Key Employees but not with respect to other employees.

(c)

This Section shall not apply to any Participant who is covered under any other plan of the employer under which the minimum contribution or minimum benefit requirement applicable to Top-Heavy Plans will be satisfied.

(d)

Matching Allocations or, if the Plan provides that the minimum benefit requirement shall be met in another plan, matching contributions under such other plan shall be taken into account for purposes of satisfying the minimum benefit requirements of Code §416(c)(2). Matching Contributions that are used to satisfy the minimum benefit requirements shall be treated as Matching Allocations for purposes of the requirements of Code §401(m).

• Vesting Schedule. If the Plan is a Top-Heavy Plan, a Participant’s vested accrued benefit under the Plan derived from employer contributions shall be the vested accrued benefit attributable to such contributions determined under Article VIII.

• Definition of Employer. For purposes of this Article, the term “employer” means all Affiliates.

• Headings; References. The headings and subheadings in this Plan have been inserted for convenient reference, and to the extent any heading or subheading conflicts with the text, the text will govern. Capitalized terms used in the Plan shall have their meaning defined in the Plan unless the context clearly indicates to the contrary.

• Construction. The Plan will be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia, excluding choice of law provisions, except to the extent such laws are preempted by ERISA and the Code.

• Qualification for Continued Tax-Exempt Status. The Plan is intended to meet the requirements for qualification as both an incentive plan and stock bonus plan under Code §401(a). Contributions under the incentive portion of the Plan are not contingent upon the Company’s current or accumulated earnings and profits. The Plan also contains a deferral feature intended to meet the requirements applicable to cash or deferred arrangements under Code §401(k). The Plan is intended to be in full compliance with applicable requirements of the Code and ERISA. The Plan shall be administered and construed in a manner consistent with said intent. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the amendment and restatement of the Plan is adopted on the condition that it will be approved by the Internal Revenue Service as meeting the requirements of the Code and ERISA for continued tax-exempt status, and in the event continued qualification is denied and cannot be obtained by revisions satisfactory to the Company, this amendment and restatement will be null and void. Should that occur, the Plan as previously in effect shall apply.

• Nonalienation. No benefits payable under the Plan will be subject to the claim or legal process of any creditor of any Participant or Beneficiary, and no Participant or Beneficiary will alienate, transfer, anticipate or assign any benefits under the Plan, except that distributions will be made pursuant to (a) qualified domestic relations orders issued in accordance with Code §414(p), (b) judgments resulting from Federal tax assessments, (c) agreements between a Participant or Beneficiary and the Company under Treasury Regulation Section 1.401(a)(13)(e) for the use of all or part of his or her benefits under the Plan to repay his or her indebtedness to the Company, which amount of benefits will be paid in a lump sum as soon as practicable after the agreement is executed and will be subject to the withholding requirements set forth in Section 9.10; and (d) as otherwise required by law.

• No Employment Rights. Participation in the Plan will not give any Employee the right to be retained in the employ of any Employer, or upon termination any right or interest in the Plan except as provided in the Plan.

• No Enlargement of Rights. No person will have any right to or interest in any portion of the Plan except as specifically provided in the Plan.

• Withholding for Taxes. Payments under the Plan will be subject to withholding for income and payroll taxes as required by law.
