ARTICLE II

ELIGIBILITY; ADOPTION BY AFFILIATES

2.1Eligibility and Participation. An employee shall be eligible to participate in the Plan if he (a) is in salary grade 28 or higher pursuant to the Company’s standard salary grades; (b) is a participant in the 401(k) Plan, provided, that, this clause (b) shall not apply in the first calendar year that the employee is employed by the Company or an Adopting Affiliate if, at the time his employment commenced, he had already made elective deferrals equal to or in excess of the applicable dollar amount for purposes of Section 402(g) of the Code and (if applicable) catch-up contributions equal to or in excess of the applicable dollar amount for purposes of Sections 402(g) and 414(v)(2)(B) of the Code, for such calendar year; and (c) has received written notice of his eligibility from the Plan Administrator or his delegate. An eligible employee shall elect to participate in the Plan by completing a Deferral Agreement as provided in Section 3.1 (Deferral Agreement). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an employee is employed in a division of the Company or by an Affiliate that does not use the Company’s standard salary grades, such employee shall be eligible to participate in the Plan if he (1) is in a salary grade that is considered in all respects to be the equivalent of a salary grade 28 or higher pursuant to the Company’s standard salary grades; (2) is a participant in the 401(k) Plan, provided, that, this clause (2) shall not apply to the same extent as clause (b) of this Section 2.1; and (3) has received written notice of his eligibility from the Plan Administrator or his delegate. The Plan Administrator shall determine in a uniform and nondiscriminatory manner whether a salary grade is equivalent for this purpose.

2.2Discontinuance of Participation. The Plan Administrator shall discontinue an individual’s participation in the Plan, and the Supplemental Deferrals and/or Excess Deferrals for the individual shall immediately cease, if the individual is no longer in a salary grade of 28 or higher (or the equivalent, as described above). If an individual’s participation is discontinued, the individual will no longer be eligible to make deferrals or to receive matching credits under the Plan. The individual will not be entitled to receive a distribution, however, until the occurrence of another event (e.g., death or Separation from Service) that entitles the Participant to receive a distribution. The Participant’s accounts will continue to be adjusted to reflect investment earnings or losses in accordance with Section 5.1 (Adjustment of Accounts) until the accounts are distributed.

2.3Adoption by Affiliates. An employee of an Affiliate may not become a Participant in the Plan unless the Affiliate has previously adopted the Plan. An Affiliate of the Company may adopt the Plan only with the approval of the Company. By adopting the Plan, the Affiliate shall be deemed to have agreed to assume the obligations and liabilities imposed upon it by the Plan, agreed to comply with all of the other terms and provisions of the Plan, delegated to the Plan Administrator (and the BFC as applicable) the power and responsibility to administer the Plan with respect to the Affiliate’s employees, and delegated to the Company the full power to amend or terminate the Plan with respect to the Affiliate’s employees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Affiliate that has previously adopted the Plan may terminate its participation in the Plan in accordance with such rules and procedures that are promulgated by the Company.

ARTICLE III

DEFERRALS AND MATCHING CREDITS

3.1Deferral Agreement.

(a)General. In order to make Supplemental Deferrals and/or Excess Deferrals, a Participant must complete a Deferral Agreement in the form and during the election period prescribed by the Plan Administrator. In the Deferral Agreement, the Participant shall agree to reduce his compensation in exchange for Supplemental Deferrals and/or Excess Deferrals. The Deferral Agreement shall be delivered to the Plan Administrator by the time specified in Section 3.2 (Timing of Deferral Elections). At the end of the election period prescribed by the Plan Administrator, an election made by a Participant pursuant to a Deferral Agreement shall be irrevocable with respect to the Plan Year covered by the election.

(b)Initial Deferral Agreement.

(1)Deferrals Prior to March 26, 2007. Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (b)(2) below, a Participant shall not be permitted to make Supplemental Deferrals and/or Excess Deferrals pursuant to this Plan prior to March 26, 2007.

(2)SEIP and DEIP. The deferral elections made pursuant to SEIP and DEIP relating to amounts to be deferred in 2007 on and after March 26, 2007 shall apply to the Plan as provided in Section 7.4 (Deferral Elections).

(c)Revocation. The Plan Administrator shall terminate a Participant’s election to make Supplemental Deferrals and/or Excess Deferrals if the Participant has made a withdrawal due to Unforeseeable Emergency as provided in Section 6.9 (Payment Upon Unforeseeable Emergency), but only to the extent that terminating the election would help the Participant to meet the related emergency need. Similarly, the Plan Administrator, in his sole discretion, may permit a Participant to terminate an election to make Supplemental Deferrals and/or Excess Deferrals if such termination is required for the Participant to obtain a hardship distribution from the 401(k) Plan. Following termination of a Participant’s election pursuant to this paragraph (c), the Plan Administrator, in his sole discretion, may permit such Participant to submit a Deferral Agreement following the Unforeseeable Emergency withdrawal in accordance with Section 3.2(c) (Timing of Deferral Elections - Initial Deferral Election) except that the 30-day period described in such Section shall run from the date the Plan Administrator notifies the Participant of eligibility to once again make Supplemental Deferrals and/or Excess Deferrals.

3.2Timing of Deferral Elections.

a)Deferral of Base Pay. Deferral Agreements that relate to the deferral of Base Pay (including deferrals of Eligible Pay) shall be completed by the Participant and delivered to the Plan Administrator prior to the beginning of the Plan Year in which the Base Pay to be deferred is otherwise payable to the Participant. The Deferral Agreement will remain in effect from year-to-year until changed by the Participant in accordance with the preceding sentence. The Plan Administrator, in his discretion, may require an earlier time by which the election to defer Base Pay must be completed. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, a Deferral Agreement shall also apply to Base Pay paid to a Participant after the Participant’s Separation from Service but within a time period identified by the Plan Administrator in its sole discretion and in a uniform and non-discriminatory manner, which time period shall not exceed two and one-half months from the date of the Participant’s Separation from Service.

b)Deferral of Incentive Compensation. Deferral Agreements that relate to the deferral of Incentive Compensation shall be completed by the Participant and delivered to the Plan Administrator prior to the date that is six months before the end of the performance period to which the Incentive Compensation relates. The Deferral Agreement will remain in effect with respect to all future Incentive Compensation until changed by the Participant in accordance with the preceding sentence. The Plan Administrator, in his discretion, may require an earlier time by which the election to defer Incentive Compensation must be completed. In addition, the Plan Administrator, in his discretion, may require that Participants make separate elections for one or more different types of Incentive Compensation (e.g., STIP Pay, LTCPP Pay and Lump-Sum Awards). Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, a Deferral Agreement shall also apply to Incentive Compensation paid to a Participant after the Participant’s Separation from Service but within a time period identified by the Plan Administrator in its sole discretion and in a uniform and non-discriminatory manner, which time period shall not exceed two and one-half months from the date of the Participant’s Separation from Service.

c)Initial Deferral Election. For the Plan Year in which an eligible employee first becomes eligible to participate in the Plan (but only if the eligible employee has never been eligible to participate in another “account balance plan,” other than a separation pay plan, of the Company or an Affiliate that is aggregated with the Plan under Section 409A of the Code), the Participant may elect to make Supplemental Deferrals and Excess Deferrals with respect to compensation for services to be performed subsequent to the date of the election, by completing and delivering a Deferral Agreement within 30 days after the date the Participant becomes eligible to participate in the Plan.

d)Deferral Elections Upon Re-Employment. An individual who incurs a Separation from Service and who at the time of such Separation from Service is a Participant is subsequently re-employed by the Company or an Affiliate and who meets the eligibility requirements for active participation in the Plan pursuant to Section 2.1 (Eligibility and Participation, upon re-employment such individual shall be only permitted to complete a Deferral Agreement during the annual election period described in Section 3.1(a) (Deferral Agreement - General). The provisions of paragraph (c) of this Section 3.2 shall not apply to such a Participant.

3.3Deferrals.

(a)Supplemental Deferrals. Any Participant may elect to supplement the deferrals made pursuant to the 401(k) Plan by deferring, pursuant to a Deferral Agreement, the receipt of up to 70% (designated in whole percentages) of the Base Pay and/or up to 70% (designated in whole percentages) of the Incentive Compensation, otherwise payable to the Participant by the Company or an Adopting Affiliate in any Plan Year. The amount deferred pursuant to this paragraph (a) shall be allocated to the Supplemental Deferral Account maintained for the Participant.

(b)Excess Deferrals. Any Participant may elect to defer, pursuant to a Deferral Agreement, the receipt of 6% of the Eligible Pay otherwise payable to him by the Company or an Adopting Affiliate in any Plan Year. A Participant’s election to receive Excess Deferrals shall only apply to the Eligible Pay that is in excess of the dollar limit imposed by Section 401(a)(17) of the Code during that Plan Year. The amount deferred pursuant to this paragraph (b) shall be allocated to the Excess Deferral Account maintained for the Participant.

3.4Matching Credits. As of the last day of each Plan Year (or more frequently), the Plan Administrator shall allocate matching credits to the Participant’s accounts for that Plan Year as follows:

(a)Supplemental Matching Credit. The Supplemental Matching Credit shall be in an amount equal to: (1) 6% of the Base Pay deferred by the Participant as Supplemental Deferrals and (2) 100% of the STIP Pay and Lump-Sum Awards deferred by the Participant as Supplemental Deferrals (up to a maximum of 6% of the Participant’s STIP Pay and Lump-Sum Awards for the Plan Year). LTCPP Pay deferred by the Participant as Supplemental Deferrals shall not be considered when determining Supplemental Matching Credits. The amount credited pursuant to this paragraph (a) shall be allocated to the Supplemental Matching Credit Account maintained for the Participant.

(b)Excess Matching Credit. The Excess Matching Credit shall be in an amount equal to 100% of the Participant’s Excess Deferrals. The amount credited pursuant to this paragraph (b) shall be allocated to the Excess Matching Credit Account maintained for the Participant.

3.5Certain Deferrals and Matching Credits. Supplemental Deferrals, Excess Deferrals, Supplemental Matching Credits and Excess Matching Credits allocated to Participants for the 2005, 2006 and 2007 Plan Years prior to the spin-off described in Article VII (Spin-Off From SEIP and DEIP) shall have been made initially to SEIP and DEIP but shall be transferred to this Plan and become subject hereto by virtue of such spin-off. For periods beginning on and after such spin-off, Supplemental Deferrals, Excess Deferrals, Supplemental Matching Credits and Excess Matching Credits shall be made pursuant to the terms of this Article III.

3.6Allocation Among Affiliates. Each Adopting Affiliate may be required to bear the costs and expenses of providing benefits accrued by Participants that are currently or were previously employees of such Adopting Affiliate. Such costs and expenses will be allocated among the Adopting Affiliates in accordance with (a) agreements entered into between the Company and any Adopting Affiliate, or (b) in the absence of such an agreement, reasonable procedures adopted by the Company.

3.7Deferrals Attributable to Qualified Military Service. An employee who was, or was eligible to become, a Participant immediately before commencing Qualified Military Service and who is re-employed following such Qualified Military Service shall, upon his returning from Qualified Military Service, have the right to elect additional Supplemental Deferrals and/or Excess Deferrals (“Additional Deferrals”) in accordance with Section 3.1 (Deferral Agreement), over a period of time equal to the lesser of (a) three times the length of his Qualified Military Service, or (b) five years. Such Participant shall also be entitled to receive Supplemental Matching Credits and/or Excess Matching Credits (“Additional Credits”) attributable to such Additional Deferrals, in accordance with Section 3.4 (Matching Credits), in the amount he would have received had such Additional Deferrals been made during his period of Qualified Military Service. All such Additional Deferrals and Additional Credits shall be deemed to have been received during the period of Qualified Military Service for purposes of applying all limitations under this Plan, but shall otherwise be subject to the terms of the Plan, including but not limited to the provisions of Section 3.1 (Deferral Agreement), Section 3.2 (Timing of Deferral Elections), Section 3.3 (Deferrals) and Section 3.4 (Matching Credits). For purposes of this Section 3.7, a Participant shall be deemed to have received Base Pay and Incentive Compensation during his period of Qualified Military Service based on the rate of Base Pay and Incentive Compensation he would have received had he been an employee during such period or, if such rate cannot be determined with reasonable accuracy, based on his average Base Pay and Incentive Compensation received during the 12-month period (or his entire period of employment, if shorter) immediately prior to the period of military service. The provisions of this Section 3.7 shall be interpreted and applied in accordance with Section 414(u) of the Code.

ARTICLE IV

VESTING

4.1Vesting. Subject to Section 10.1 (Participant’s Rights Unsecured), each Participant shall at all times be fully vested in all amounts credited to or allocable to his Supplemental Deferral Account, Excess Deferral Account, Supplemental Matching Credit Account and Excess Matching Credit Account and his rights and interest therein shall not be forfeitable.

ARTICLE V

INVESTMENT OF ACCOUNTS

5.1Adjustment of Accounts. Except as otherwise provided elsewhere in the Plan, as of each Valuation Date, each Participant’s accounts will be adjusted to reflect credits under Article III (Deferrals and Matching Credits) and the positive or negative rate of return on the Investment Funds selected by the Participant pursuant to Section 5.2(b) (Investment Direction - Participant Directions). The rate of return will be determined by the Plan Administrator pursuant to Section 5.2(f) (Investment Direction - Investment Performance) and will be credited or charged in accordance with policies applied uniformly to all Participants.

5.2Investment Direction.

(a)Investment Funds. Each Participant may direct the notional investment of amounts credited to his Plan accounts in one or more of the Investment Funds. The Investment Funds shall include a Company Stock Fund and such other investment funds as may be made available by the BFC. The BFC, in its discretion, may change, add or remove the Investment Funds from time to time.

(b)Participant Directions.

(1)General. Each Participant may direct that all of the amounts attributable to his accounts be invested in a single Investment Fund or may direct that whole percentage increments of his accounts be invested in such fund or funds as he shall desire in accordance with such procedures as may be established by the Plan Administrator. Unless the Plan Administrator prescribes otherwise, such procedures generally shall mirror the procedures established under the 401(k) Plan for participant investment direction.

(2)Spin-Off from SEIP and DEIP. Each Participant who becomes a Participant in the Plan as a result of the spin-off described in Article VII (Spin-Off From SEIP and DEIP) or by reason of Section 3.1(b)(2) (Deferral Agreement - Initial Deferral Agreement - SEIP and DEIP) shall be conclusively deemed to have directed the Plan Administrator to invest all of the amounts attributable to his accounts in the same manner as the Participant’s accounts were invested in SEIP and/or DEIP as of the effective date of the spin-off and, in the absence of an affirmative direction by the spin-off Participant regarding future deferrals pursuant to paragraph (b)(1) above, such Participant shall be conclusively deemed to have directed the Plan Administrator to invest such deferrals in the same manner as the Participant’s deferrals were directed to be invested in SEIP and/or DEIP as of the effective date of the spin-off. If a Participant participated in both SEIP and DEIP as of the effective date of the spin-off and his investment elections for future deferrals were different among plans, the Participant shall be conclusively deemed to have directed the Plan Administrator to invest future deferrals in the same manner as the Participant’s deferral elections pursuant to DEIP. The Participant may change his directions at any time in accordance with the provisions of the Plan.

(c)Changes and Intra-Fund Transfers. Participant investment directions may be changed, and amounts may be transferred from one Investment Fund to another, in accordance with the procedures established by the Plan Administrator. The designation will remain in effect until changed by the timely submission of a new designation by the Participant.

(d)Default Selection. In the absence of any designation, a Participant will be deemed to have directed the investment of his accounts in one or more “default” Investment Funds as the BFC, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall determine.

(e)Impact of Election. The Participant’s selection of Investment Funds shall serve only as a measurement of the value of the Participant’s Accounts pursuant to Section 5.1 (Adjustment of Accounts) and this Section 5.2. None of the Company, the BFC, or the Plan Administrator are required to actually invest a Participant’s accounts in accordance with the Participant’s selections.

(f)Investment Performance. Accounts shall be adjusted on each Valuation Date to reflect investment gains and losses as if the accounts were invested in the Investment Funds selected by the Participants in accordance with this Section 5.2 and charged with any and all reasonable expenses as provided in paragraph (g) below. The earnings and losses determined by the Plan Administrator in good faith and in his discretion pursuant to this Section shall be binding and conclusive on the Participant, the Participant’s beneficiary and all parties claiming through them.

(g)Charges. The Plan Administrator may (but is not required to) charge Participants’ accounts for the reasonable expenses of administration including, but not limited to, carrying out and/or accounting for investment instructions directly related to such accounts.

5.3Special Company Stock Fund Provisions.

(a)General. A Participant’s interest in the Company Stock Fund shall be expressed in whole and fractional hypothetical units of the Company Stock Fund. The Company Stock Fund shall track an investment in Company Stock in the same manner as the 401(k) Plan’s company stock fund. Accordingly, the value of a unit in the Plan’s Company Stock Fund shall be the same as the value of a unit in the 401(k) Plan’s company stock fund.

(b)Investment Directions. A Participant’s ability to direct investments into or out of the Company Stock Fund shall be subject to such procedures as the Plan Administrator may prescribe from time to time to assure compliance with Rule 16b-3 promulgated under Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and other applicable requirements. Such procedures also may limit or restrict a Participant’s ability to make (or modify previously made) deferral and distribution elections pursuant to Articles III (Deferrals and Matching Credits) and VI (Distributions), respectively. In furtherance, and not in limitation, of the foregoing, to the extent a Participant acquires any interest in an equity security under the Plan for purposes of Section 16(b), the Participant shall not dispose of that interest within six months, unless specifically exempted by Section 16(b) or any rules or regulations promulgated thereunder.

(c)Compliance with Securities Laws. Any election by a Participant to hypothetically invest any amount in the Company Stock Fund, and any elections to transfer amounts from or to the Company Stock Fund to or from any other Investment Fund, shall be subject to all applicable securities law requirements, including but not limited to the last sentence of paragraph (b) above and Rule 16b-3 promulgated by the Securities Exchange Commission. To the extent that any election violates any securities law requirement or the Company’s stock trading policies and procedures, the election shall be void.

(d)Compliance with Company Trading Policies and Procedures. Any election by a Participant to hypothetically invest any amount in the Company Stock Fund, and any elections to transfer amounts from or to the Company Stock Fund to or from any other Investment Fund, shall be subject to all Company Stock trading policies promulgated by the Company. To the extent that any election violates any such trading policy or procedures, the election shall be void.

5.4Application to Beneficiaries. Following the death of a Participant, the term “Participant” in this Article V shall refer to the Participant’s beneficiary described in Section 6.8 (Payment Upon Death).

ARTICLE VI

DISTRIBUTIONS

6.1Limitation on Right to Receive Distribution. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive a distribution prior to the first to occur of the following events:

(a)The Participant’s Separation from Service, or in the case of a Participant who is a Key Employee, the date which is six months after the Participant’s Separation from Service;

(b)The date the Participant becomes Disabled;

(c)The Participant’s death;

(d)A specified time (or pursuant to a fixed schedule) specified at the date of deferral of compensation;

(e)An Unforeseeable Emergency; or

(f)To the extent provided by the Secretary of the Treasury, a change in the ownership or effective control of the Company or an Adopting Affiliate or in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company or an Adopting Affiliate.

This Section 6.1 restates the restrictions on distributions set forth in Section 409A of the Code and is intended to impose restrictions on distributions pursuant to the Plan accordingly. This Section 6.1 does not describe the instances in which distributions will be made. Rather, distributions will be made only if and when permitted both by this Section 6.1 and another provision of the Plan.

6.2General Right to Receive Distribution. Following a Participant’s Separation from Service, death or Disability, the Participant’s Plan accounts will be distributed to the Participant in the manner and at the time provided in Sections 6.4 (Form of Distribution) and 6.5 (Timing of Distribution) or Section 6.8 (Payment Upon Death), as applicable. A transfer of a Participant from the Company or any Affiliate to any other Affiliate or the Company shall not be deemed to be a Separation from Service for purposes of this Section 6.2.

6.3Amount of Distribution. The amount distributed to a Participant shall be based on the vested amounts credited to the Participant’s accounts as of the Valuation Date immediately preceding the date of the distribution. Amounts shall be valued at the fair market value on the relevant Valuation Date determined pursuant to uniform and non-discriminatory rules established by the Plan Administrator.

6.4Form of Distribution. Accounts shall be distributed in cash in a single lump-sum payment or in quarterly, semi-annual or annual installments. Distributions shall be subject to such uniform rules and procedures as may be adopted by the Plan Administrator from time to time. The method of payment and the timing of payment shall be selected by the Participant in the initial Distribution Election Form (which may be contained in and be a part of a Deferral Agreement) submitted by the Participant to the Plan Administrator on entry into the Plan. A Participant may change his distribution election by filing a new Distribution Election Form with the Plan Administrator in accordance with Section 6.6 (Changes in Time and Form of Distribution). If a revised Distribution Election Form is not honored because it was not timely filed, distributions shall be made pursuant to the most recent valid Distribution Election Form filed by the Participant. If no valid Distribution Election Form exists, the Participant’s accounts will be distributed in a single lump-sum.

6.5Timing of Distribution. Funds will be distributed within an administratively reasonable period of time following the six-month anniversary of the Participant’s Separation from Service, death or Disability. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Participant may elect to further defer the distribution of his accounts in accordance with Section 6.6 (Changes in Time and Form of Distribution) and in accordance with any other uniform and non-discriminatory rules and procedures established by the Plan Administrator.

6.6Changes in Time and Form of Distribution. A new Distribution Election Form that delays the time of a payment elected by a Participant or the form of payment selected by a Participant will be subject to such uniform rules and procedures as may be adopted by the Plan Administrator from time to time, and only will be honored in accordance with the following:

(a)The new form will not take effect until at least 12 months after the date on which the new form is filed with the Plan Administrator; and

GENERAL PROVISIONS

10.1Participant’s Rights Unsecured. The Plan at all times shall be entirely unfunded and no provision shall at any time be made with respect to segregating any assets of the Company for payment of any distributions hereunder. The right of a Participant or his or her designated beneficiary to receive a distribution hereunder shall be an unsecured claim against the general assets of the Company, and neither the Participant nor a designated beneficiary shall have any rights in or against any specific assets of the Company. All amounts credited to a Participant’s accounts hereunder shall constitute general assets of the Company and may be disposed of by the Company at such time and for such purposes as it may deem appropriate. Nothing in this Section shall preclude the Company from establishing a “Rabbi Trust,” but the assets in the Rabbi Trust must be available to pay the claims of the Company’s general creditors in the event of the Company’s insolvency.

10.2No Guaranty of Benefits. Nothing contained in the Plan shall constitute a guaranty by the Company or any other person or entity that the assets of the Company will be sufficient to pay any benefit hereunder.

10.3No Enlargement of Employee Rights. No Participant shall have any right to receive a distribution from the Plan except in accordance with the terms of the Plan. Establishment of the Plan shall not be construed to give any Participant the right to be retained in the service of the Company or an Adopting Affiliate.

10.4Section 409A Compliance. The Company intends that the Plan meet the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and the guidance issued thereunder. The Plan shall be administered, construed and interpreted in a manner consistent with that intention.

10.5Spendthrift Provision. No interest of any person or entity in, or right to receive a distribution under, the Plan shall be subject in any manner to sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, attachment, garnishment, or other alienation or encumbrance of any kind; nor shall any such interest or right to receive a distribution be taken, either voluntarily or involuntarily, for the satisfaction of the debts of, or other obligations or claims against, such person or entity, including claims in bankruptcy proceedings. This Section shall not preclude arrangements for the withholding of taxes from deferrals, credits, or benefit payments, arrangements for the recovery of benefit overpayments, arrangements for the transfer of benefit rights to another plan, or arrangements for direct deposit of benefit payments to an account in a bank, savings and loan association or credit union (provided that such arrangement is not part of an arrangement constituting an assignment or alienation).

10.6Domestic Relations Orders. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, and to the extent permitted by law, a Participant’s accounts may be assigned or alienated pursuant to a “Domestic Relations Order” (as such term is defined in Section 414(p)(1)(B) of the Code), subject to such uniform rules and procedures as may be adopted by the Plan Administrator from time to time. Any amount subject to a Domestic Relations Order shall be distributed as soon as practicable.

10.7Incapacity of Recipient. If the Plan Administrator is served with a court order holding that a person entitled to a distribution under the Plan is incapable of personally receiving and giving a valid receipt for such distribution, the Plan Administrator shall postpone payment until such time as a claim therefore shall have been made by a duly appointed guardian or other legal representative of such person. The Plan Administrator is under no obligation to inquire or investigate as to the competency of any person entitled to a distribution. Any payment to an appointed guardian or other legal representative under this Section shall be a payment for the account of the incapacitated person and a complete discharge of any liability of the Company and the Plan therefore.

10.8Successors. The Plan shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of the Company and upon the heirs, beneficiaries and personal representatives of the individuals who become Participants hereunder.

10.9Limitations on Liability. Notwithstanding any of the preceding provisions of the Plan, neither the Plan Administrator, the Company, nor any individual acting as the Plan Administrator’s, or the Company’s employee, agent, or representative shall be liable to any Participant, former Participant, beneficiary or other person for any claim, loss, liability or expense incurred in connection with the Plan.

10.10Conflicts. If any person holds a position under the Plan through which he or she is charged with making a decision about the administration of his or her own (or any immediate family member’s) Plan participation, including, without limitation, decisions regarding eligibility, or account valuation, or the administration of his or her Plan investments, then such person shall be recused and the decision shall be made by the Plan Administrator. If a decision is required regarding the administration of the Plan Administrator’s Plan participation, including without limitation, decisions regarding eligibility, or account valuation, or the administration of his or her Plan investments, such decision shall be made by the Company’s Vice President, Human Services Division. Nothing in this Section 10.10 shall be construed to limit a Participant’s or the Plan Administrator’s ability to make decisions or elections with regard to his or her participation in the Plan in the same manner as other Participants.
