(1) ===========================================================================================================
(1) On November 30, 1987, Centex distributed as a dividend to its stockholders (through a nominee, the "Nominee") all the issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share ("Holding Common Stock"), of 3333 Holding Corporation, a Nevada corporation ("Holding"), and 900 warrants (the "Stockholder Warrants") to purchase Class B Units of limited partnership interests in Centex Development Company, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("CDC"). The Nominee holds the Stockholder Warrants and 1,000 shares of Holding Common Stock on behalf of and for the benefit of persons who are from time to time the holders of the common stock, par value $0.25 per share ("Centex Common Stock"), of Centex ("Centex Stockholders"). Each Centex Stockholder owns a beneficial interest in that portion of the 1,000 shares of Holding Common Stock and the Stockholder Warrants that the total number of shares of Centex Common Stock held by such stockholder bears to the total number of shares of Centex Common Stock outstanding from time to time. This beneficial interest of the Holding stockholders is not represented by a separate certificate or receipt. Instead, each Centex Stockholder's pro rata portion of such beneficial interest is represented by the certificate or certificates evidencing such Centex Stockholder's Centex Common Stock, and is currently tradeable only in tandem with, and as a part of, each such Centex Stockholder's Centex Common Stock. No additional fee is required in respect of the beneficial interests in the shares of Holding Common Stock and the Stockholder Warrants associated with shares of Centex Common Stock. (2) Pursuant to Rule 416 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), there are also being registered such additional shares of Common Stock and beneficial interests in the Holding Common Stock and CDC Warrants as may become issuable to prevent dilution resulting from stock splits, stock dividends or similar transactions. In addition, pursuant to Rule 416(c) under the Securities Act, this registration statement also covers an indeterminate amount of interests to be offered or sold pursuant to the employer benefit plan described herein. (3) Estimated solely for the purpose of calculating the registration fee pursuant to Rules 457(c) and (h) of the Securities Act, and computed on the basis of the average of the high and low sales prices of the Common Stock included in the New York Stock Exchange Composite Transactions Report for August 10, 1994 as published by The Wall Street Journal, which was $25.25 per share. ================================================================================ 3 PART I INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE SECTION 10(A) PROPSECTUS Note: The document(s) containing the information concerning the Amended and Restated Profit Sharing and Retirement Plan of Centex Corporation (the "Plan") required by Item 1 of this Form and the statement of availability of Registrant information and information relating to the Plan and other information required by Item 2 of this Form will sent or given to employees as specified by Rule 428.

ITEM 4. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES Not applicable. ITEM 5. INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL Not applicable. ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS Centex and Holding are Nevada corporations. Pursuant to the provisions of Section 751 of the Nevada General Corporation Law (the "NGCL"), every Nevada corporation has the authority to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving as such (at the request of the corporation) of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in the best interest, or not opposed to the best interest, of the corporation and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. Under Nevada law, Centex and Holding also have authority to indemnify any such person who is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed actions or suits brought by or in the right of the corporation, but only to the extent of expenses including amounts paid in settlement and attorneys' fees. No indemnification shall be made, however, for any claim, issue or matter as to which a person has been adjudged by a court to be liable to the corporation or for amounts paid in settlement to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court determines that in view of all the circumstances, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to such expenses as the court deems proper. To the extent any of the persons referred to in the two immediately preceding paragraphs is successful in the defense of the actions referred to therein, such person must be indemnified by the corporation against expenses including attorneys fees actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense. In addition, Section 037 of the NGCL permits Nevada corporations to include in their articles of incorporation a provision eliminating the personal liability of their directors and officers for damages resulting from certain breaches of fiduciary duty. An amendment to the Articles of Incorporation of Centex was adopted by its stockholders at the annual meeting thereof held on July 15, 1987 in order to effect the permitted limitation on liability. The Articles of Incorporation of Holding and the Articles of Incorporation of 3333 Development Corporation, the general partner of CDC, contain a similar provision limiting the liability of their directors and officers for such damages. Centex has entered into indemnification contracts with its directors as such, and with its directors in their capacities (i) as officers, employees or agents of Centex and as directors or officers of the various subsidiaries of Centex, (ii) as directors, officers, employees or agents of other companies or enterprises when they are serving in any such capacity at the request of Centex, and (iii) as a fiduciary with respect to any employee benefit plan or trust of Centex or any subsidiary of Centex. It is anticipated that similar contracts may be entered into, from time to time, with - 2 - 5 certain officers of Centex and its subsidiaries who are not directors of Centex. The general effect of the indemnification contracts is to provide that the indemnitees shall be indemnified to the fullest possible extent permitted by law against all expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by them in any action or proceeding, including any action by or in the right of Centex, by reason of their service in the foregoing capacities. The indemnification contracts were approved by the stockholders of Centex at the annual meeting of stockholders held on July 16, 1986. The Companies have obtained a directors' and officers' liability insurance policy to insure their respective directors and officers against losses resulting from wrongful acts committed by them in their capacities as directors and officers of the Companies, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act. The foregoing summaries are necessarily subject to the complete text of the statute, Articles of Incorporation, By-laws and agreements referred to above and are qualified in their entirely by reference thereto. The Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of CDC provides that CDC will indemnify the General Partner and its directors, officers, employees and agents and persons serving on behalf of CDC in similar capacities with other entities against liabilities, costs and expenses (including legal fees and expenses) incurred by the General Partner or such persons in connection with litigation or threatened litigation, if the General Partner or such persons acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of CDC, and such General Partner's or such other person's conduct did not constitute gross negligence or willful or wanton misconduct. Any indemnification under these provisions will be limited to the assets of CDC. CDC is authorized to purchase insurance against liabilities asserted against any expenses incurred by such persons in connection with CDC's activities, if any, whether or not CDC would have the power to indemnify the persons against such liabilities under the provisions described above. ITEM 7. EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED. Not applicable. ITEM 8. EXHIBITS The Exhibits to this Registration Statement are listed in the Index to Exhibits beginning on page E-1 of this Registration Statement which Index is incorporated by reference herein. The Registrants hereby undertake that they have submitted or will submit in a timely manner the Plan and any amendment thereto to the Internal Revenue Service for purposes of obtaining a determination letter that the Plan is qualified under Section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and have made or will make all changes required by the Internal Revneue Service in order to qualify the Plan. ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS The undersigned Registrants hereby undertake: (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement: (i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, unless the information required to be included in such post-effective amendment is contained in a periodic report filed by the Companies pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and incorporated herein by reference; (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement, unless the information required to be included in such post-effective amendment is contained in a periodic report - 3 - 6 filed by the Companies pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and incorporated herein by reference; (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement. (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering; (4) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Companies' annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, the filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15 (d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; and (5) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act") may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the respective Companies pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Companies have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by any of the Companies of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer, or controlling person of such Company in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, such Company will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. - 4 - 7 SIGNATURES The Registrant.

The Employer --------------------------------------- shall make an Employer Salary Reduction Contribution in an amount equal to the amount by which each Participant has agreed, in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.1, to reduce his Considered Compensation. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, no Participant may agree to reduce his Considered Compensation by more than fifteen percent (15%). (b) Employer Profit Sharing Contributions.

Such amount, if any, shall be determined by resolution, which shall specify the amount of the Employer's contribution or a definite basis or formula by which the amount of the contribution can be determined within a reasonable period of time after the end of the Plan Year. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.1(b), effective April 1, 1994, in the event that the nondiscrimination requirements of section 401(a)(4) of the Code or the limitations on contributions under section 415 of the Code limit the amount of the Employer Profit Sharing Contribution which may be made to the Plan for the Plan Year on behalf of Highly Compensated Employees, then the amount of the Employer Profit Sharing Contribution for such Plan Year for such Highly Compensated Employees shall equal the amount of the Employer Profit Sharing Contribution as so limited by the provisions of section 401(a)(4) or section 415 of the Code. 4.2 Employee Voluntary Contributions. No contributions are -------------------------------- required of Participants to participate in the Plan. Each Participant may elect, however, to make Employee Voluntary Contributions under the Plan for any Plan Year, beginning with the Plan Year in which he becomes a Participant. Such contributions shall be made in the amount and manner provided in Sections 5.1(b) and 5.1(c). None of the Participant contributions permitted to be made under this Plan will be deemed qualified voluntary employee contributions (as defined in section 291(e)(2) of the Code) and no such contributions will be deemed deductible for federal income tax purposes. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, no Participant may agree to contribute more than ten percent (10%) of his Considered Compensation pursuant to this Section 4.2. 4.3 Employer Contribution Limitation and Treatment of Forfeitures. ------------------------------------------------------------- Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4.1, the aggregate amount of Employer Salary Reduction Contributions and Employer Profit Sharing Contributions for each Limitation Year shall not exceed either the total amount deductible under section 404 of the Code, or the sum of: SALARIED PROFIT SHARING AND RETIREMENT PLAN 27 33 (a) The aggregate limitation on Annual Additions prescribed by Section 6.11 for all Participants entitled to share in the allocation of such Employer contributions under Section 6.5 reduced by Forfeitures arising under Section 7.8, and (b) The sum of any amounts that have been erroneously forfeited or erroneously unallocated with respect to Employees who were or would have been entitled to share in the allocation of Employer contributions but for the failure to credit such Participants with Hours of Service that are determined during the Plan Year to be creditable pursuant to Section 2.1(ii), reduced by any Forfeitures arising under Section 7.8 remaining after the reduction provided in Section 4.3(a), to the extent such contribution was not made in a preceding Plan Year. If Forfeitures for a Plan Year that have arisen under Section 7.8 exceed the aggregate limitation on Annual Additions prescribed by Section 6.11 for all Participants entitled to share in the allocation of Employer contributions for the Limitation Year ending within the Plan Year plus any Employee Voluntary Contributions described in Section 4.2 which are not distributed pursuant to Section 6.5(h), the amount by which such Forfeitures exceed the aggregate limitation and the amount of such Employee Voluntary Contributions shall be credited and held unallocated in a Suspense Account until the next Valuation Date that coincides with the end of a Plan Year when such amounts shall be deemed to be Forfeitures arising under Section 7.8. 4.4 Determination of Contribution. The Employer, from its records, ----------------------------- shall determine the amount of any contributions to be made by it to the Trust under the terms of the Plan. In the case of a Participant who, during the Plan Year, transfers his employment from one Employer to another Employer, the amount of the contributions to be made by each such Employer on behalf of such a Participant pursuant to this Section 4.4 and this Article IV, shall be determined on the basis of the relative compensation paid to such Participant by each such Employer. 4.5 Time and Method of Payment of Contribution. The Employer shall ------------------------------------------ pay Employer Salary Reduction Contributions made pursuant to Section 4.1(a) and attributable to Considered Compensation deferred pursuant to Section 5.1 to the Trustee within fifteen (15) business days after the end of the payroll period to which the deferral of the Considered Compensation relates. The Employer may pay the remainder of its contribution for each Limitation Year in one (1) or more installments. The Employer's contribution for any Limitation Year shall be due on the last day of its taxable year with or within which such Limitation Year ends, and, unless paid before, shall be payable then or as soon thereafter as practicable, but not later than the end of the tenth (10th) month following the end of such taxable year. If the contribution is on account of the Employer's preceding taxable year, the contribution shall be accompanied by the Employer's signed statement to the Trustee that payment is on account of such taxable year. Contributions may be paid in cash, or other property, as the Employer may determine. Property shall be valued at its fair market value at the time of contribution. All SALARIED PROFIT SHARING AND RETIREMENT PLAN 28 34 contributions for each Limitation Year, shall be deemed to be paid as of the earlier of the actual date of payment or the last day of such Limitation Year. 4.6 Make-Up Contributions. If, because of insufficient current or --------------------- accumulated profits, any Employer is prevented from making any part or all of the contribution which it would otherwise have made under the Plan for a fiscal year, then so much of such contribution that such Employer was prevented from making shall be made by the other Employers (but for purposes of Section 4.1 of the Plan shall be considered to have been made by such Employer) in such manner as the Company may specify, provided that a consolidated tax return is filed by the Employers for that fiscal year for federal income tax purposes. The provisions of this subsection shall apply only to a group of Employers under the plan which constitutes an "affiliated group" as defined in Section 1504(a) of the Code. 4.7 Return of Employer Contributions. Notwithstanding any -------------------------------- provision herein to the contrary, upon the Employer's request, an Employer contribution which was made upon a mistake of fact or conditioned upon deductibility of the contribution under section 404 of the Code shall not be deemed contributed to the Trust and shall be returned to the Employer within one (1) year after payment of the contribution or disallowance of the deduction (to the extent disallowed), as the case may be. The amount so returned shall be the excess of the amount contributed over the amount which would have been contributed if there had been no mistake of fact or a mistake in determining the amount of the deduction. Any earnings on the excess contribution amount shall not be returned to the Employer, although any losses thereon will reduce the amount so returned. 4.8 Rollover Contributions and Trust to Trust Transfers to this ----------------------------------------------------------- Plan. The Administrative Committee, in its sole discretion, may direct the - ---- Trustee to receive and hold for the benefit of any Eligible Employee any amount attributable to such Employee's participation in any other pension or profit sharing plan qualified under section 401(a) of the Code, subject to the following provisions: (a) If such amount is to be contributed by the Employee to the Trustee, the amount shall be transferred only if it constitutes a Rollover Contribution. If such amount is to be transferred directly from another plan and trust qualified under section 401(a) of the Code to the Trustee, the amount to be transferred shall be the amount held for the benefit of such employee pursuant to Section 4.8(b). Such amounts shall be transferred only if the Trustee or trustees under such other trust are expressly permitted to distribute such amounts to the Trustee or trustees under the trust forming part of another plan intended to qualify under section 401(a) of the Code. The Trustee, in its sole discretion, may limit the property which is to be transferred to the Trustee to cash. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amount shall be transferred to the Trustee, including amounts transferred from a plan maintained by a Qualified Affiliate, if such amount is attributable, directly or indirectly, to a transfer of distribution from a defined benefit plan (within the meaning of section 414(j) of the Code or a defined contribution plan (within the meaning of section 414(i) of the Code) which either is subject to the minimum funding standard of section 412 of the Code or provides for the distribution of benefits in the form of an annuity. SALARIED PROFIT SHARING AND RETIREMENT PLAN 29 35 (b) The amounts transferred by or on behalf of an Employee to the Trustee shall be held in a separate, nonforfeitable Rollover Account established for the benefit of such Employee under the Plan. Such account shall be adjusted as any other account under the provisions of Section 6.4. Except as is provided in Section 8.12, regarding limitations on the involuntary payment of benefits, in the event an Employee terminates Service for any reason before becoming a Participant, the Employee's Rollover Account (as adjusted under the Plan as of the Valuation Date coincident with or immediately preceding the date of such Employee's termination of Service) shall be distributed to or for the benefit of such Employee in a lump sum as soon as possible after such Employee's termination of Service. In the event such Employee becomes a Participant, such Rollover Account shall be distributed in the same manner as his Employer Profit Sharing Contribution Account. (c) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 4.8, and Sections 7.5 regarding vesting, Section 8.4, regarding withdrawals, and Section 9.2(k), regarding Top Heavy Plans, a Rollover Account will be treated as an Employer Profit Sharing Contribution Account for all purposes of the Plan. The Administrative Committee may require such evidence, data or information from an Employee or from the plan administrator of the plan and trust from which an amount is directly or indirectly to be received as it considers necessary or desirable to administer the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.8. ____________________ End of Article IV SALARIED PROFIT SHARING AND RETIREMENT PLAN 30 36 ARTICLE V PARTICIPANT DEFERRALS OF CONSIDERED COMPENSATION ------------------------------------------------ AND MAKING OF EMPLOYEE VOLUNTARY CONTRIBUTIONS ---------------------------------------------- 5.1 Participant Election to Defer Considered Compensation or to ----------------------------------------------------------- Make Employee Voluntary Contributions. - ------------------------------------- (a) Participant Election to Defer Considered ---------------------------------------- Compensation.

Subject to the provisions of Section 5.3, a Participant may elect - ------------ to contribute under the Plan for any Plan Year, beginning with the Plan Year in which he becomes a Participant, in an amount of not less than one percent (1%) nor more than ten percent (10%) (in even multiples of one percent (1%)) of the Considered Compensation paid to the Participant by his Employer during such year; provided that, the amount of such contribution when added to the amount of any other Participant voluntary contributions to all qualified plans, within the meaning of section 401(a) of the Code, maintained by the Employer does not exceed ten percent (10%) of the Participant's Considered Compensation paid to him by his Employer during such year. (c) Method of Election. Except as otherwise provided in ------------------ this Section, each election by a Participant under (a) and (b) of this Section 5.1 must be by written notice filed with the Administrative Committee, in such form as the Administrative Committee shall in its sole and absolute discretion determine, during the thirty-one (31) day period ending on the last day of a Plan Year quarter (i.e., March 31, June 30, September 30 or December 31) to ---- which such election applies, except that with respect to a Participant whose Plan Entry Date is October 1, such written notice may be delivered during the thirty-one (31) day period prior to such Plan Entry Date. Any such election by a Participant to defer the receipt of a portion of his Considered Compensation or to make a Voluntary Employee SALARIED PROFIT SHARING AND RETIREMENT PLAN 31 37 Contribution shall become effective at such time as the Administrative Committee determines to be administratively convenient, but, with respect to an Employee who is or who has become a Participant, in no event later than thirty (30) days following the Administrative Committee's receipt of such election, and no such election shall be given retroactive effect. A Participant, by written notice filed with the Administrative Committee at any time during the thirty-one (31) day period ending on the last day of a Plan Year quarter, may elect to change the percentage of his Compensation to be contributed to the Trust under Section 5.1(b) for the next following Plan Year quarter, or to redesignate or terminate such contributions for the next following Plan Year quarter. A Participant who has discontinued making deferrals or contributions under either or both Section 5.1(a) and Section 5.1(b) may elect to resume having such deferrals or contributions made in the amounts specified in Section 5.1(a) and Section 5.1(b), respectively, for the next following Plan Year quarter, by written notice filed with the Administrative Committee at any time during the thirty-one (31) day period ending on the last day of a Plan Year quarter.

A Participant who is making deferral contributions may elect to make a lump sum contribution under Section 5.1(a) from the Participant's last paycheck for any Plan Year quarter (i.e., ---- March 31, June 30, September 30, or December 31) as long as he has given written notice of that election in the time and manner required by the Administrative Committee. In no event can the amount of any such lump sum contribution when added to the amount of contributions made under Section 5.1(a) exceed fifteen percent (15%) of the Participant's Considered Compensation. A Participant who is making Voluntary Employee Contributions may also elect on the last day of any Plan Year quarter to have unpaid Compensation which would otherwise become payable by his Employer reduced for a pay period and contributed by the Employer to the Plan in a lump sum under Section 5.1(b). Any such election must be made by the Participant by written notice filed with the Administrative Committee prior to the time such Compensation is payable to the Participant, and must be accordance with such rules as the Administrative Committee may establish. 5.2 Limitation on Employer Salary Reduction Contributions for --------------------------------------------------------- Highly Compensated Employees. - ---------------------------- (a) Limitations. Notwithstanding the provisions of ----------- Section 5.1(a), the Actual Deferral Percentage for the Highly Compensated Employees with respect to any Plan Year shall not exceed the greater of (i) or ------- (ii): SALARIED PROFIT SHARING AND RETIREMENT PLAN 32 38 (i) The Actual Deferral Percentage for the Eligible Employees who are not Highly Compensated Employees multiplied by one and one-fourth (1.25); or (ii) The Actual Deferral Percentage for the Eligible Employees who are not Highly Compensated Employees multiplied by two (2); provided, however, that the Actual Deferral Percentage for the Highly Compensated Employees may not exceed the Actual Deferral Percentage for the Eligible Employees who are not Highly Compensated Employees by more than two (2) percentage points, but subject to the aggregate limitation rules of paragraph 5.2(b). (b) Aggregate Limit. If one or more Highly Compensated --------------- Employees are eligible for contributions that are tested under both this Section 5.2 and Section 5.3, multiple use of the Actual Deferral Percentage alternative limit set forth in Section 5.2(a)(ii) shall be limited so that the aggregated Actual Deferral Percentage and Employee Contribution Percentage of such Highly Compensated Employees does not exceed the aggregate limit. For purposes of this Section 5.2(b), the "aggregate limit" is the greater of the following: (i) The sum of: (A) One and one-fourth (1.25) multiplied by the greater of (i) the Actual Deferral Percentage of the ------- group of Participants who are not Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year, or (ii) the Employee Contribution Percentage of the group of Participants who are not Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year, and (B) Two (2) plus the lesser of (i) or ------ (ii) above; provided, however, that this amount shall not exceed two (2) multiplied by of the lesser of (i) or (ii) ------ above; or (ii) The sum of: (A) One and one-fourth (1.25) multiplied by the lesser of (a) the Actual Deferral Percentage of the ------ group of Participants who are not Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year, and (b) the Employee Contribution Percentage for the group of Participants who are not Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year; and (B) Two (2) plus the greater of (a) and ------- (b) in the immediately preceding subparagraph; provided, however, that this amount shall not exceed two (2) multiplied by the greater of (a) or (b) above. ------- Amounts in excess of the aggregate limit shall be treated as excess contributions and adjusted as provided in Section 5.2(c). For purposes of applying this multiple use limit, the Employee Contribution Percentage and the Actual Deferral Percentage shall be determined after any required distributions of excess contributions and deferrals under Sections 5.2(c), 5.3(c), and 5.4. SALARIED PROFIT SHARING AND RETIREMENT PLAN 33 39 (c) Adjustments for Excess Contributions. If at any time ------------------------------------ during a Plan Year, the Actual Deferral Percentage for the Highly Compensated Employees exceeds or is reasonably expected by the Administrative Committee to exceed the amounts allowed under Sections 5.2(a) and 5.2(b), then the Administrative Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion. shall, at least once prior to the end of the Plan Year and more often if the Administrative Committee elects, do one or more of the following: (i) Prospective Reduction of Excess ------------------------------- Contributions. Prospectively and in the same proportion reduce the ------------- amount of Considered Compensation to be deferred pursuant to Section 5.1(a), by each Highly Compensated Employee who has elected pursuant to Section 5.1(a) to defer a portion of his Considered Compensation until the Actual Deferral Percentage for Highly Compensated Employees will equal (by rounding up) for the Plan Year the greater of (i) or (ii) of Section 5.2(a) as limited by Section 5.2(b). (ii) Refund of Excess Contributions. Refund the ------------------------------ portion of each Highly Compensated Employee's Employer Salary Reduction Contribution that constitutes a portion of the "excess contribution" (hereinafter defined) for the Plan Year, plus earnings (or less losses) thereon for (i) the Plan Year and (ii) the portion of the following year preceding the date of distribution (the "Gap Period"), until the Actual Deferral Percentage for the Highly Compensated Employees equals (by rounding up) the greater of (i) or (ii) of Section 5.2(a) as limited by Section 5.2(b), with all refunds from a Participant's Employer Salary Reduction Contribution Account to be charged first against Employer Salary Reduction Contributions for the calendar year that includes the first day of the Plan Year, and then, to the extent necessary, charged against Employer Salary Reduction Contributions for the calendar year that includes the last day of the Plan Year. All refunds shall be distributed by the Trustee to the Employer within two and one-half (2 1/2) months after the close of the Plan Year in which the excess contribution arose, if administratively feasible, but in no event later than twelve (12) months after such date. For purposes of this Section 5.2(c)(ii), "excess contribution" shall mean, with respect to any Plan Year, the excess of: (i) The aggregate amount of Employer Salary Reduction Contributions actually paid over to the Trust on behalf of Highly Compensated Employees for such Plan Year, over (ii) The maximum amount of such Employer Salary Reduction Contributions permitted under the limitations of Sections 5.2(a) and (b). The amount of excess contributions for each Highly Compensated Employee is to be determined by the following leveling method, under which the Actual Deferral Percentage of the Highly Compensated Employee with the highest Actual Deferral Percentage is reduced to the extent required to (i) enable the Plan to satisfy the limitations of Sections 5.2(a) and 5.2(b), or (ii) cause such Highly Compensated SALARIED PROFIT SHARING AND RETIREMENT PLAN 34 40 Employee's Actual Deferral Percentage to equal the Actual Deferral Percentage of the Highly Compensated Employee with the next highest Actual Deferral Percentage, whichever occurs first. This process must be repeated until the Plan satisfies the limitations of Sections 5.2(a) and 5.2(b). The provisions of this Section 5.2(c)(ii) shall be applied after the provisions of Section 5.4 and any distributions of excess deferrals thereunder. Any distribution made pursuant to this Section 5.2(c)(ii) may be made notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan. (A) Determination of Earnings and ----------------------------- Losses. The earnings or losses allocable to excess ------ contributions shall be determined by multiplying income (or loss) allocable to the Participant's Employer Salary Reduction Contribution Account for the applicable Plan Year by a fraction, the numerator of which is the excess contribution on behalf of the Participant for the applicable Plan Year and the denominator of which is the balance of the Participant's Employer Salary Reduction Contribution Account on the last day of the applicable Plan Year (prior to any refund of excess contributions). (B) Determination of Income or Loss for ----------------------------------- Gap Period. The income or loss for the period between the end ---------- of the applicable Plan Year and the date of distribution of the excess contribution (the "gap period") shall be equal to the actual income or loss thereon during such period, or, if not readily ascertainable, ten percent (10%) of the income or loss determined under Section 5.2(c)(ii)(B) above multiplied by the number of calendar months that have elapsed since the end of the applicable Plan Year. Distributions occurring on or before the 15th day of the month shall be treated as having been made on the last day of the preceding month, and distributions occurring after such 15th day shall be treated as having been made on the first day of the next month. (C) Income Allocable to Excess -------------------------- Contributions. The income allocable to excess contributions, ------------- for purposes of Sections 5.2(c)(ii)(B) and 5.2(c)(ii)(C), shall include all earnings and appreciation, including such items as interest, dividends, rent, royalties, gains from the sale of property, appreciation in the value of stock, bonds, annuity and life insurance contracts, and other property, without regard to whether such appreciation has been realized. (d) Special Rules For Family Members. -------------------------------- (i) If an eligible Highly Compensated Employee is subject to the family aggregation rules of section 414(q)(6) of the Code because such Employee is either a five-percent (5%) owner or one (1) of the ten (10) most highly compensated employees, the combined Actual Deferral Percentage for the family group (which is SALARIED PROFIT SHARING AND RETIREMENT PLAN 35 41 treated as one Highly Compensated Employee) must be determined by combining Employer Salary Reduction Contributions and Compensation. (ii) The Employer Salary Reduction Contributions and Compensation and amounts of all family members are disregarded for purposes of determining the Actual Deferral Percentage for the group of Employees that are not Highly Compensated Employees, except to the extent taken into account under Section 5.2(d)(i) above. (iii) If an Employee is required to be aggregated as a member of more than one (1) family group in the Plan, all Eligible Employees who are members of those family groups that include that Employee are aggregated as one family group in accordance with Sections 5.2(d)(i) and 5.2(d)(ii). (iv) The determination and correction of excess contributions of a Highly Compensated Employee whose Actual Deferral Percentage is determined under the family aggregation rules of this Section 5.2(d) is accomplished by reducing the Actual Deferral Percentage as required under Section 5.2(c) and allocating the excess contributions for the family unit among the family members in proportion to the Employer Salary Reduction Contributions of each family member that are combined to determine the Actual Deferral Percentage. 5.3 Limitations on Employee Voluntary Contributions. ----------------------------------------------- (a) Limitations. Notwithstanding the provisions of ----------- Sections 4.2 and 5.1(b), the Employee Contribution Percentage for the Highly Compensated Employees with respect to any Plan Year shall not exceed the greater of (i) or (ii): - ------- (i) The Employee Contribution Percentage for the Eligible Employees who are not Highly Compensated Employees multiplied by one and one-fourth (1.25), or (ii) The Employee Contribution Percentage for the Eligible Employees who are not Highly Compensated Employees multiplied by two (2); provided, however, that the Employee Contribution Percentage for the Highly Compensated Employees may not exceed the Employee Contribution Percentage for the Eligible Employees who are not Highly Compensated Employees by more than two (2) percentage points but subject to the aggregate limitation rules of Section 5.3(b). (b) Aggregate Limit. If one or more Highly Compensated --------------- Employees are eligible for contributions that are tested under both this Section 5.3 and Section 5.2, multiple use of the Employee Contribution Percentage alternative limit set forth in Section 5.3(a)(ii) shall be limited so that the aggregated Actual Deferral Percentage and Employee Contribution Percentage of such Highly Compensated Employees does not exceed the SALARIED PROFIT SHARING AND RETIREMENT PLAN 36 42 aggregate limit. The "aggregate limit," for purposes of this Section 5.3(b), is the greater of the following: ------- (i) The sum of: (A) One and one-fourth (1.25) multiplied by the greater of (i) the Actual Deferral Percentage of the ------- group of Participants who are not Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year, or (ii) the Employee Contribution Percentage of the group of Participants who are not Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year, and (B) Two (2) plus the lesser of (i) or ------ (ii) above; provided, however, that this amount shall not exceed two (2) multiplied by the lesser of (i) or (ii) above; ------ or (ii) The sum of: (A) One and one-fourth (1.25) multiplied by the lesser of (a) the Actual Deferral Percentage of the ------ group of Participants who are not Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year, and (b) the Employee Contribution Percentage for the group of Participants who are not Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year; and (B) Two (2) plus the greater of (a) and ------- (b) in the immediately preceding subparagraph; provided, however, that this amount shall not exceed two (2.0) multiplied by the greater of (a) or (b) above. ------- Amounts in excess of the aggregate limit shall be treated as excess contributions and adjusted as provided in Section 5.3(c). For purposes of applying this multiple use limit, the Employee Contribution Percentage and the Actual Deferral Percentage shall be determined after any required distributions of excess contributions and deferrals under Sections 4.5(c), 5.2(c), and 5.4. (c) Adjustments for Excess Contributions. If at any time ------------------------------------ during a Plan Year, the Employee Contribution Percentage for the Highly Compensated Employees would exceed, if not adjusted in accordance with the limitations of this Section, the amounts allowed under Sections 5.3(a) and (b), then the Administrative Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall do one or more of the following: (i) Reduction of Employee Voluntary ------------------------------- Contributions. Proportionately reduce the Employee Voluntary ------------- Contributions that would otherwise be made and allocated to the Employee Voluntary Contribution Account of each Highly Compensated Employee to the extent necessary to cause the Employee Contribution Percentage for the Highly Compensated Employees to equal (by rounding up) the greater of (i) or (ii) of Section 5.3(a) as limited by Section 5.3(b). SALARIED PROFIT SHARING AND RETIREMENT PLAN 37 43 (ii) Refund of Excess Employee Contributions. To --------------------------------------- the extent that, after the adjustments described in Section 5.3(c)(i) above have been made, the Employee Contribution Percentage for the Highly Compensated Employees during a Plan Year would still exceed, if not adjusted in accordance with this Section 5.3(c)(ii), the amounts allowed under Section 5.3, then the Administrative Committee shall refund the portion of each Highly Compensated Employee's Employee Voluntary Contributions that constitutes a portion of the "excess contribution" (hereinafter defined) for the Plan Year, plus earnings and less losses thereon for the Plan Year and the portion of the following year preceding the date of distribution (the "Gap Period"), until the Employee Contribution Percentage for the Highly Compensated Employees equals (by rounding up) the greater of (i) or (ii) of Section 5.3(a) as limited by Section 5.3(b), with all refunds from a Participant's Employee Voluntary Contribution Account to be charged first against Employee Voluntary Contributions for the calendar year that includes the first day of the Plan Year, and then, to the extent necessary, charged against Employee Voluntary Contributions for the calendar year that includes the last day of the Plan Year. All refunds shall be distributed by the Trustee to the Highly Compensated Employees who have excess contributions, as determined under the following paragraph, within two and one-half (2 1/2) months after the close of the Plan Year in which such excess contributions arose, if administratively feasible, but in no event later than twelve (12) months after the close of such Plan Year. For purposes of this Section 5.3(c)(ii), "excess contribution" shall mean, with respect to any Plan Year, the excess of: (i) The aggregate amount of Employee Voluntary Contributions actually paid over to the Trust on behalf of Highly Compensated Employees for such Plan Year, over (ii) The maximum amount of such Employee Voluntary Contributions permitted under the limitations of Sections 5.3(a) and 5.3(b) after taking into account the adjustments provided for in Section 5.3(c)(i). The excess contributions shall be determined using the following leveling method, by reducing the Employee Voluntary Contributions made on behalf of Highly Compensated Employees in order of the Employee Contribution Percentages beginning with the highest until the (i) limitations of Sections 5.3(a) and 5.3(b) are satisfied; or (ii) such Highly Compensated Employee's Employee Contribution Percentage equals the Employee Contribution Percentage of the Highly Compensated Employee with the next highest such percentage. This process shall be repeated until the Plan satisfies the limitations of Sections 5.3(a) and 5.3(b). The provisions of this Section 5.3(c)(ii) shall be applied after the provisions of Section 5.3(c)(i) and any reductions thereunder. Any distribution made pursuant to this Section 5.3(c)(ii) may be made notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan. SALARIED PROFIT SHARING AND RETIREMENT PLAN 38 44 (iii) Determination of Earnings and Losses. The ------------------------------------ earnings or losses allocable to excess contributions shall be determined by multiplying income or loss) allocable to the Participant's Employee Voluntary Contribution Account for the applicable Plan Year by a fraction, the numerator of which is the excess contribution on behalf of the Participant for the applicable Plan Year and the denominator of which is the balance of the Participant's Employee Voluntary Contribution Account on the last day of the applicable Plan Year (prior to any refund of excess contributions). (A) Determination of Income or Loss for ----------------------------------- the Gap Period. The income or loss for the period between the -------------- end of the applicable Plan Year and the date of distribution of the excess contribution (the "gap period") shall be equal to the actual income or loss thereon during such period, or, if not readily ascertainable, ten percent (10%) of the income or loss determined under Section 5.3(c)(ii)(B) above, multiplied by the number of calendar months that have elapsed since the end of the applicable Plan Year. Distributions occurring on or before the 15th day of the month shall be treated as having been made on the last day of the preceding month, and distributions occurring after such 15th day shall be treated as having been made on the first day of the next month. (B) Income Allocable to Excess -------------------------- Contributions. The income allocable to excess contributions, ------------- for purposes of Sections 5.3(c)(ii)(B) and (C), shall include all earnings and appreciation, including such items as interest, dividends, rent, royalties, gains from the sale of property, appreciation in the value of stock, bonds, annuity and life insurance contracts, and other property, without regard to whether or not such appreciation has been realized. (d) Special Rules For Family Members. -------------------------------- (i) If an eligible Highly Compensated Employee is subject to the family aggregation rules of section 414(q)(6) of the Code because such Employee is either a five-percent (5%) owner or one (1) of the ten (10) most highly compensated employees, the combined Employee Contribution Percentage for the family group (which is treated as one Highly Compensated Employee) shall be determined by combining the Employee Voluntary Contributions and Compensation of all the eligible family members. (ii) The Employee Voluntary Contributions and Compensation of family members are disregarded for purposes of determining the Employee Contribution Percentage for both the group of Highly Compensated Employees and the group of Employees that are not Highly Compensated Employees, except to the extent taken into account under Section 5.3(d)(i) above. SALARIED PROFIT SHARING AND RETIREMENT PLAN 39 45 (iii) If an Employee is required to be aggregated as a member of more than one (1) family group in the Plan, all Eligible Employees who are members of those family groups that include that Employee are aggregated as one family group in accordance with Sections 5.3(d)(i) and (ii).

If a Participant is required -------------------------------- to include in his gross income for a calendar year elective deferrals (as defined in section 402(g)(3) of the Code) which exceed Seven Thousand Dollars ($7,000) (subject to cost-of-living adjustments pursuant to section 402(g)(5) of the Code), such amounts shall be treated as "excess deferrals" and shall be distributed to the Participant. If the Participant makes excess deferrals to one or more plans with respect to a calendar year, the Participant may allocate the excess deferrals among the plans to which such Excess Deferrals were made. Not later than the first March 1 following the close of the calendar year in which the Excess Deferrals were made, the Participant shall notify the Administrative Committee of whether and to what extent the Participant has allocated any of the Participant's excess deferrals to this Plan. If such allocation is made, the Administrative Committee shall distribute such excess deferrals allocated to this Plan, adjusted for any income or losses allocable to such amount (determined in accordance with the principles of Section 5.2(c)(ii)) for both the Plan Year in question and the portion of the following year immediately preceding the date of distribution (as determined in accordance with Section 5.2(c)(ii)) not later than the first April 15 following the calendar year in which the excess deferrals were made. The amount of excess deferrals to be distributed shall be reduced by any excess contributions previously distributed with respect to the Plan Year beginning with the calendar year. Any distribution of excess deferrals made pursuant to this Section 5.4 may be made notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan. ____________________ End of Article V SALARIED PROFIT SHARING AND RETIREMENT PLAN 40 46 ARTICLE VI ALLOCATIONS ----------- 6.1 Participant's Accounts. The Administrative Committee shall ---------------------- establish for each Participant an Employer Salary Reduction Contribution Account and an Employer Profit Sharing Contribution Account that will reflect the Participant's share of Employer contributions, if any, arising under the Plan, and the income, loss, appreciation, and depreciation attributable to such contributions.

(b) Next, as of each Valuation Date, prior to allocating ---- Employer Salary Reduction Contributions for the Allocation Period ending with the Valuation Date that have not been previously allocated pursuant to Section 6.5(b), charge to the proper Employer Salary Reduction Contribution Accounts all payments, distributions, and withdrawals since the immediately preceding Valuation Date that have not been changed previously as provided in Section 6.3, (c) Next, determine an "Allocation Balance" (herein so ---- called) for each Employer Salary Reduction Contribution Account and Employee Voluntary Contribution Account. The Allocation Balance for each such an Account shall be: (i) The balance of each such Account as of the immediately preceding Valuation Date after all adjustments required as of such Valuation Date by Section 6.4(b) have been made, plus ---- (ii) One-half (1/2) of the Employer Salary Reduction Contributions or Employee Voluntary Contributions made to the Trust and allocable to such Account pursuant to Section 6.5(b) but that have not been previously allocated, minus ----- (iii) All distributions from each such Account on or since the immediately preceding Valuation Date. (d) Next, apportion changes in the Adjusted Net Worth of ---- the Trust Fund, or in the net fair market value of the particular investment fund or funds in which Participants' Accounts are invested, for the period ending on the most recent Valuation Date among the Accounts of Participants in the ratio that the balance credited to each of the Accounts of each Participant on the preceding Valuation Date (or the Allocation Balance in the case of a Participant's Employer Salary Reduction Contribution Account or Employee Voluntary Contribution Account) bears to the balances credited to all Accounts or Allocation Balances of all Participants so invested on such Valuation Date. The gain or loss with respect to a particular investment fund shall be allocated only among the Accounts which are invested in such fund, and only to the extent that such Accounts are so invested. The Suspense Account, if any, shall not be adjusted to reflect any Trust earnings or losses. 6.5 Allocation of Employer and Employee Contributions and ----------------------------------------------------- Forfeitures. Subject to the limitations on Annual Additions under Section 6.11, - ----------- as of each Valuation Date and for the appropriate Allocation Period immediately preceding the appropriate Valuation Date, the Administrative Committee shall allocate and credit Employee and Employer contributions and Forfeitures to and among the Accounts of Participants as follows: SALARIED PROFIT SHARING AND RETIREMENT PLAN 42 48 (a) First, determine the aggregate limitation on Annual ----- Additions under Section 6.11 for all Participants entitled to share in the allocation of Employer contributions for the Limitation year ending within the Plan Year. Then, allocate, in accordance with Section 7.8(b) and Section 8.9(c), to the Employer Profit Sharing Contribution Accounts of Participants whose non-Vested Accrued Benefits were forfeited in prior Plan Years but who have returned to Service within the time prescribed in Section 7.8(b), or who have made a claim for benefits pursuant to Section 8.9(c), such portion of the Forfeitures for the Plan Year that have arisen under Section 7.8(a) and such portion of the Employer contributions for the Plan Year as exceeds an amount equal to the Employer Salary Reduction Contributions for the Plan Year as is necessary to restore in accordance with Section 7.8(b) and Section 8.9(c) the non-vested portions of the Accrued Benefits of such Participants. No allocation of Employer contributions shall be made pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence unless the Forfeitures are insufficient to restore the specified benefits. (b) Second, allocate to each Participant's Employer ------ Salary Reduction Contribution Account a portion of the total Employer Salary Reduction Contributions for such Allocation Period that equals the amount by which the Participant has elected, in accordance with Section 5.1, to defer a portion of his Considered Compensation during such Allocation period; provided that no amounts in excess of the amounts permitted in Section 6.11 shall be allocated to any Participant's Employer Salary Reduction Contribution Account. (c) Next, if Forfeitures for a Plan Year that have arisen ---- under Section 7.8(a), minus such portion of such Forfeitures, if any, that have been allocated pursuant to Section 6.5(a), plus Employer Salary Reduction Contributions for the Limitation Year that have been allocated to Participants' Employer Salary Reduction Contribution Accounts pursuant to Section 6.5(b) exceed the aggregate limitation on Annual Additions under Section 6.11 for all Participants entitled to share in the allocation of Employer contributions for the Limitation Year ending within the Plan Year plus any amounts erroneously forfeited or allocated as described in Section 4.3(b), the amount by which such Forfeitures and Employer Salary Reduction Contributions exceed the aggregate limitation and the amounts described in Section 4.3(b) shall be credited and held unallocated in a Suspense Account until the next Valuation Date that coincides with the end of a Plan Year when such amounts shall be deemed to be Forfeitures arising under Section 7.8(a). (d) Next, each Participant who is in the Service of an ---- Employer on the last day of the Plan Year or who terminated service during the Plan Year by reason of death, Total and Permanent Disability or retirement (within the meaning of Sections 7.1 and 7.2) who has not received a lump sum distribution of his benefits from the Plan, will be accorded one (1) point for each Year of Service within the meaning of Section 7.6 and one (1) point for each One Hundred Dollars ($100) of Considered Compensation for the Plan Year. (e) Next, each Employer's Employer Profit Sharing ---- Contribution shall be allocated and credited among the Employer Profit Sharing Contribution Accounts of Participants employed during the Plan Year by such Employer in the ratio that the total points credited to each such Participant bears to the total points credited to all such Participants. SALARIED PROFIT SHARING AND RETIREMENT PLAN 43 49 (f) Next, except as is provided in Section 6.5(h), below, ---- Forfeitures shall be allocated and credited among the Employer Profit Sharing Contribution Accounts of Participants in the ratio that the total points credited to each Participant bears to the total points credited to all Participants, regardless of by whom employed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Forfeitures to be allocated and credited for a Plan Year in which an Employer first becomes an Employer will not be allocated to the Employer Profit Sharing Contribution Accounts of Participants employed by such Employer for that Plan Year. (g) Next, allocate to each Participant's Employee ---- Voluntary Contribution Account an amount equal to the amount of Employee Voluntary Contributions that the Participant has elected, in accordance with Sections 4.2 and 5.1(b) to contribute to the Plan. (h) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.5, no allocations of any kind shall be made to commissioned salespeople other than allocations of Employer Salary Reduction Contributions elected by such salespeople pursuant to Section 5.1(a). In addition, the allocations for any Participant shall not exceed the limits on Annual Additions determined pursuant to Section 6.11. If after the allocations provided for above in this Section 6.5 the amounts that would otherwise be allocated to a Participant's Accounts would exceed the amount determined under Section 6.11, the Participant's Employee Voluntary Contributions for the Limitation Year shall be distributed to the Participant to the extent necessary to comply with the limits on Annual Additions under Section 6.11, and if after a distribution of all such contributions the remaining amounts to be allocated would exceed the limitations on Annual Additions under Section 6.11, the excess shall not be allocated to the Participant but shall be allocated and re-allocated to the Accounts of other Participants in the manner prescribed in Section 6.5(f) until exhausted. 6.6 Dates Contributions Considered Made. For purposes of this ----------------------------------- Article VI, the Employer's contributions, other than Employer Salary Reduction Contributions, under the Plan for any Plan Year shall be considered to have been made on the last day of that year, regardless of when paid to the Trustee. A Rollover Contribution made during an Allocation Period shall be deemed made on the last day of the Allocation Period. 6.7 Accrual of Benefits. The Administrative Committee shall ------------------- determine a Participant's Accrued Benefit on the basis of the Limitation Year. In allocating Employer Profit Sharing Contributions to a Participant's Accounts, the Administrative Committee shall only take into account the Considered Compensation earned during that part of the Limitation Year the Employee is actually a Participant in the Plan. 6.8 Valuation. Within a reasonable time after each Valuation Date, --------- the Trustee shall prepare or cause to be prepared a statement of the condition of the Trust Fund, or appropriate portion of the Trust Fund, setting forth all investments, receipts, and disbursements, and other transactions effected by it during the Allocation Period ending with such Valuation Date, and showing all the assets of the Trust Fund, or appropriate portion of the Trust Fund, and the cost and fair market value thereof. Such statements shall be delivered to the Administrative Committee. With respect to the last Valuation of the Plan Year the Administrative Committee shall then cause an annual report to be prepared SALARIED PROFIT SHARING AND RETIREMENT PLAN 44 50 disclosing the status of each Participant's Accounts in the Trust. The Trustee's determination of the fair market value of the assets of the Trust Fund and the Administrative Committee's charges or credits to Accounts shall be final and conclusive on all persons ever interested hereunder, subject to the claims procedure in Section 11.9 hereof. 6.9 Special Valuation. While it is contemplated that the Trust ----------------- Fund will be valued by the Trustee and allocations made only as of the Valuation Dates, should it be necessary to make distributions under the provisions hereof, and the Administrative Committee, in good faith determines that, because of (a) an extraordinary change in general economic conditions, (b) the occurrence of some casualty radically affecting the value of the Trust Fund or a substantial part thereof, or (c) an abnormal fluctuation in the value of the Trust Fund has occurred since the end of the preceding Allocation Period, the Administrative Committee may, in its sole discretion, to prevent the payee from receiving a substantially greater or lesser amount than what he would be entitled to, based on current values, cause a revaluation of the Trust Fund or portion thereof to be made and a reallocation of the interests therein as of the date the payee's right of distribution becomes fixed. The Administrative Committee's determination to make such special valuation and the valuation of the Trust Fund as determined by the Trustee shall be conclusive and binding on all persons ever interested hereunder, subject to the claims procedure in Section 11.9 hereof. 6.10 Equitable Allocations. If the Administrative Committee --------------------- determines in making any valuation, allocation, or adding interest to any Account under the provisions of the Plan that the strict application of the provisions of the Plan will not produce an equitable and nondiscriminatory allocation among the Accounts of the Participants, it may modify any procedure specified in the Plan for the purpose of achieving an equitable and nondiscriminatory allocation in accordance with the general concepts of the Plan; provided, however, that any such modification shall not reduce the Participant's vested accrued benefits and shall be consistent with the provisions of sections 411(d)(6) and 401(a)(4) of the Code. 6.11 Limitation on Annual Additions. ------------------------------ (a) General. Notwithstanding any other provision of the ------- Plan, the Annual Addition to a Participant's Accounts for any Limitation Year may not exceed an amount equal to the lesser of: ------ (i) Thirty Thousand Dollars ($30,000) (or, if greater, one-fourth (1/4) of the dollar limitation in effect under section 415(b)(1)(A) of the Code) adjusted for the Limitation Year to take into account any cost-of-living increase adjustments, provided for that year under section 415(d) of the Code; or (ii) Twenty-five percent (25%) of the Compensation of the Participant for the Limitation Year; provided, however, that the percentage limitation described in Section 6.11(a)(ii) shall not apply to any contributions for post-retirement medical benefits treated as Annual Additions SALARIED PROFIT SHARING AND RETIREMENT PLAN 45 51 under section 419A(f)(2) of the Code or any other amount treated as an Annual Addition under section 415(l)(1) or section 419A(d)(2) of the Code. (b) Additional Limitation - Related Plan. If a ------------------------------------ Participant also participates in a Related Plan, any reductions required by section 415 of the Code shall be made first from such Related Plan if such Related Plan provides for the same, and, if not, the maximum amount allocable to a Participant's Accounts for the Limitation Year as specified in Section 6.11(a) shall be reduced by the amount of the Annual Addition made with respect to the Participant for the Limitation Year under any Related Plan. (c) Additional Limitation - Defined Benefit Plan. If a -------------------------------------------- Participant also participates in one or more qualified defined benefit plans (as defined in section 414(i) of the Code) maintained by the Employer or any Related Employer, the maximum amount otherwise allocable to his Accounts under Section 6.11(a) and Section 6.11(b) shall be reduced to the extent necessary to ensure that the sum of the "Defined Benefit Fraction" for the Limitation Year plus the "Defined Contribution Fraction" for the Limitation Year does not exceed one (1.0). The Defined Benefit Fraction for a Limitation Year shall be a fraction: (i) The numerator of which shall be the projected annual benefit of the Participant under such defined benefit plan or plans (determined as of the close of the year); and (ii) The denominator of which shall be an amount equal to the lesser of: ------ (A) The product of one and one-fourth (1.25) multiplied by the dollar limitation in effect for such year under section 415(b)(1)(A) of the Code; or (B) The product of one and four-tenths (1.4) multiplied by the amount which may be taken into account for such year under section 415(b)(1)(B) of the Code with respect to such Participant. Notwithstanding the above, if as of the first day of the first Limitation Year beginning after December 31, 1986, a Participant was a participant, in one or more defined benefit plans maintained by the Employer or a Related Company which were in existence on May 6, 1986, the denominator of the Defined Benefit Fraction will not be less than one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the sum of the annual benefits under such plans which the Participant had accrued as of the close of the last Limitation year beginning on or before December 31, 1986, calculated as if the Participant had terminated employment on the last day of said Limitation Year. In calculating a Participant's benefits, the Administrative Committee shall disregard changes in the terms and conditions of such plans occurring on or after May 6, 1986, and cost-of-living adjustments occurring on or after May 6, 1986. The preceding two sentences shall only apply if the defined benefit plans individually and in the SALARIED PROFIT SHARING AND RETIREMENT PLAN 46 52 aggregate satisfy the requirements of section 415 of the Code as in effect at the end of the 1986 Plan Year. The Defined Contribution Fraction for a Limitation Year shall be a fraction: (i) The numerator of which shall be the sum of the annual additions (as defined in section 415(c)(2) of the Code) to the Participant's accounts under all defined contribution plans maintained by the Employer or Related Employer as of the close of the Limitation Year; and (ii) The denominator of which shall be the sum of the lesser of the following amounts determined for each such plan for the Limitation Year and for each prior year of service with the Employer: (A) The product of one and one-fourth (1.25) multiplied by the dollar limitation in effect for such year under section 415(c)(1)(A) of the Code (determined without regard to section 415(c)(6) of the Code); or (B) The product of one and four-tenths (1.4) multiplied by the amount that may be taken into account under section 415(c)(1)(B) of the Code with respect to such individual under the defined contribution plans for the Limitation Year. If as of the end of the first day of the first Limitation Year beginning after December 31, 1986, a Participant was a participant in one or more defined contribution plans which were maintained by the Employer or a Related Company which were in existence on May 6, 1986, the numerator of the Defined Contribution Fraction shall be adjusted if the sum of such fraction and the Defined Benefit Fraction (referred to as the "Fractions") would otherwise exceed one (1) under the terms of this Plan. Under the adjustment, an amount equal to the product of (i) the excess of the sum of the Fractions over one (1) times (ii) the denominator of the Defined Contribution Fraction will be permanently subtracted from the numerator of the Defined Contribution Fraction. The adjustment is calculated using the Fractions as they would be computed as of the end of the last Limitation Year beginning before January 1, 1987, and disregarding any changes in the terms and conditions of the Plan made after May 5, 1986, but using the limitations under section 415 of the Code applicable to the first Limitation Year beginning on or after January 1, 1987. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of Section 6.5(c) shall only apply if such defined benefit plan or plans do not provide for a reduction of benefits to ensure that the sum of the Defined Benefit Fraction for such Limitation Year and the Defined Contribution Fraction for such Limitation Year does not exceed one (1.0). SALARIED PROFIT SHARING AND RETIREMENT PLAN 47 53 6.12 Allocation Not Create Rights. No Participant shall acquire any ---------------------------- right to or interest in any specific asset of the Trust as a result of the allocations provided for in the Plan. ____________________ End of Article VI SALARIED PROFIT SHARING AND RETIREMENT PLAN 48 54 ARTICLE VII TERMINATION OF SERVICE - PARTICIPANT VESTING -------------------------------------------- 7.1 Normal Retirement. When a Participant attains Normal ----------------- Retirement Age his Accrued Benefit shall, to the extent it has not previously become fully vested, become fully vested. A Participant who, with the Employer's consent, remains in the employ of the Employer after attaining Normal Retirement Age shall continue to participate in the Plan until the date of his actual retirement. Upon termination of a Participant's employment for any reason on or after attaining Normal Retirement Age, the Administrative Committee shall direct the Trustee to make payment of the full value of the Participant's Accrued Benefit to him at such times and in such manner as provided in Article VIII hereof. 7.2 Early Retirement. A Participant may retire as of the first day ---------------- of any Plan Year, after he has attained Early Retirement Age and may apply for an early retirement benefit in accordance with Section 12.9(b) hereof. Upon a Participant's Early Retirement under this Section 7.2, the Administrative Committee shall direct the Trustee to make payment of the full value of the Participant's Accrued Benefit to him at such times and in such manner as provided in Article VIII hereof. Any Participant who terminates employment after having completed fifteen (15) Years of Service and who is entitled to receive any Vested Accrued Benefit under the Plan may, upon attaining age fifty-five (55), apply for an early retirement benefit in accordance with Section 12.9(b) hereof, and, shall be eligible to receive an early retirement benefit at the time and in the manner specified in Article VIII. 7.3 Disability. A Participant who becomes Totally and Permanently ---------- Disabled shall have the full value of his Accrued Benefit paid to him at such times and in such manner as provided in Article VIII hereof. 7.4 Death. Upon the death of a Participant, his Beneficiary shall ----- be entitled to receive the full value of the deceased Participant's Accrued Benefit at such times and in such manner as provided in Article VIII hereof. 7.5 Other Termination of Service. Except as is otherwise provided ---------------------------- in Section 3.5(c) with respect to Qualified Affiliate Accounts, if a Participant's employment terminates prior to Normal Retirement Age for any reason other than early retirement, death, or Total and Permanent Disability, then the balance of such Participant's Employer Profit Sharing Contribution Account and Qualified Affiliate Account (after all adjustments required under the Plan as of that date have been made) will be determined and such Participant will be entitled to receive the percentage of the balance of such Employer Profit Sharing Contribution Account and Qualified Affiliate Account determined in accordance with the following adjustment procedure: (a) First, the amount of the net credit balance in the Participant's Employer Profit Sharing Account and Qualified Affiliate Account shall be increased by an amount SALARIED PROFIT SHARING AND RETIREMENT PLAN 49 55 equal to the aggregate insurance contract premiums, if any, charged to such account since the date he last became a Participant; (b) Next, the amount of the net credit balance in his Employer Profit Sharing Contribution Account and Qualified Affiliate Account, as adjusted under (a) of this Section 7.5, shall be multiplied by the applicable percentage, set forth below, based on his number of Years of Service within the meaning of Section 7.6: Years of Service-Vesting Percent Vested ------------------------ -------------- Less than 2 0% 2 10% 3 20% 4 40% 5 60% 6 80% 7 100% (c) Next, the amount of the net credit balance in the Participant's Employer Profit Sharing Contribution Account and Qualified Affiliate Account adjusted under Section 7.5(b) shall be reduced by an amount equal to the unpaid balances of any loans (and accrued interest thereon) chargeable to his account; and (d) Finally, the amount of the net credit balance in the Participant's Employer Profit Sharing Contribution Account and Qualified Affiliate Account after all such adjustments, will be reduced by the aggregate insurance contract premiums added to his account under Section 7.5(a) and the amount so determined shall be the amount distributable to him or for his benefit. The amount computed in accordance with the foregoing provisions will become distributable to the Participant or for his benefit at such times and in such manner as provided in Article VIII hereof. If a Participant is transferred from employment with the Employer to employment with a Subsidiary that is not an Employer, he will not be deemed to have terminated Service pursuant to this paragraph until his employment with all Employers and Subsidiaries terminates, but his account balances will be subject to the transfer provisions of Section 8.14. A Participant shall be one hundred percent (100%) vested at all times in that portion of his Accrued Benefit attributable to his Employer Salary Reduction Contribution Account, Employee Voluntary Contribution Account, and, if applicable, Rollover Account. 7.6 Years of Service - Vesting. For purposes of vesting under -------------------------- Section 7.5, Year of Service shall mean, with respect to periods of time prior to the Effective Date, any "year of service" within the meaning of either Section 2.3(b) of the Prior Plan or Section 7.6 of the Centex Construction Products Plan. With respect to periods of time after the Effective Date, Year of Service shall mean any Plan Year during which the Employee is continuously SALARIED PROFIT SHARING AND RETIREMENT PLAN 50 56 employed by the Employer or during which the Employee completes not less than One Thousand (1,000) Hours of Service with the Employer. In the case of an Employee who separates from Service and who resumes employment with the Employer, but not as a Re-Employed Employee, Years of Service, as defined in this Section 7.6, prior to his resumption of employment shall be disregarded. If a Participant has incurred five (5) consecutive Breaks in Service, Service after such Breaks in Service shall not increase the Participant's vested percentage in his Accrued Benefit derived from Employer contributions that accrued prior to such five (5) consecutive Breaks in Service. In addition, "years of service" within the meaning of Section 2.3(b) of the Prior Plan or Section 7.6 of the Centex Construction Products Plan credited for Service performed prior to April 1, 1984, that were disregarded under the terms of such plans, shall continue to be disregarded for purposes of this Plan. 7.7 Vesting After a Distribution Without a Break in Service. If a ------------------------------------------------------- distribution of a Participant's Vested Accrued Benefit is made to a Participant at a time when the Participant has a Vested Accrued Benefit of less than one hundred percent (100%) in his Accounts attributable to Employer contributions and such Participant has not incurred a Break in Service prior to the time that the distribution is made, a separate Employer Profit Sharing Contribution Account and separate Qualified Affiliate Account shall be established to reflect at times following the distribution the Participant's Accrued Benefit attributable to Employer contributions prior to the distribution. At any given time after the distribution and prior to a Forfeiture, if any, of the amounts in such separate Accounts, the value of the Participant's Vested Accrued Benefit attributable to each of such separate Accounts shall be equal to an amount computed as follows: (a) First, add the balance of such Accounts as of the given time after the distribution and the portion of the distribution allocable to such Account; (b) Second, multiply the amount obtained in (a) by the Participant's vested percentage in such Account, determined in accordance with Section 7.5 hereof; and (c) Finally subtract the amount of the distribution added to the Account balance under subsection (a) above from the amount obtained in (b). 7.8 Forfeiture Occurs and Restoration of Non-Vested Accrued ------------------------------------------------------- Benefit. - ------- (a) Forfeiture Occurs. A Participant shall permanently ----------------- cease to be entitled to that part of his Employer Profit Sharing Contribution Account and Qualified Affiliate Account that is not part of his Vested Accrued Benefit on the last day of the Plan Year in which, (i) the Participant first incurs five (5) consecutive Breaks in Service as the result of the termination of his Service, or (ii) the Participant receives a distribution of his entire Vested Accrued Benefit, including the portion thereof derived from Employer contributions, as the result of his termination of Service. In the case of a Participant to whom Section 7.8(a)(ii) applies, such Participant shall receive a distribution of his entire Vested Accrued Benefit, including the portion thereof derived from Employer contributions, not later than the close of the second (2nd) Plan Year following the Participant's termination of Service. A Participant who has an Accrued Benefit but does not have a Vested Accrued Benefit shall SALARIED PROFIT SHARING AND RETIREMENT PLAN 51 57 be deemed to be a Participant who has received a distribution of his entire Vested Accrued Benefit on the last day of the Plan Year in which he first incurs a Break in Service. The Administrative Committee shall determine a Participant's Accrued Benefit Forfeiture, if any, solely by reference to the vesting schedule of Section 7.5 except as provided in Section 3.5 with respect to the Qualified Affiliate Account. A Participant shall not forfeit any portion of his Accrued Benefit for any cause. (b) Restoration of Non-Vested Accrued Benefit. If an ----------------------------------------- individual has incurred a Forfeiture pursuant to Section 7.8(a)(ii) but does not receive a distribution of his entire Vested Accrued Benefit, including the portion thereof derived from Employer contributions, prior to incurring five (5) consecutive Breaks in Service, such individual's Forfeiture shall be restored and his Accrued Benefit rendered whole as of the Valuation Date that coincides with the close of such second (2nd) Plan Year. If an individual who was formerly a Participant has incurred a Forfeiture of his non-Vested Accrued Benefit in accordance with Section 7.8(a)(ii) and has received a distribution of his entire Vested Accrued Benefit not later than the close of the second (2nd) Plan Year following his termination of Service, and such individual returns to the Service of the Employer prior to incurring five (5) consecutive Breaks in Service, such individual's forfeited non-Vested Accrued Benefit shall be restored and credited to an Employer Contribution Account, hereinafter called the "Restoration Account," if the Participant repays to the Plan the full amount of the distribution prior to the earlier of: ------- (i) The last day of the Plan Year in which the Participant incurs five (5) consecutive Breaks in Service; or (ii) Five (5) years after the date of the Participant's reemployment with the Employer (provided that the Participant must be an Employee at the time of repayment). In the case of an individual who was formerly a Participant, who terminated Service with an Accrued Benefit but without a Vested Accrued Benefit, and whose non-Vested Accrued Benefit became a Forfeiture due to a deemed distribution under Section 7.8(a), such individual shall be deemed to repay his deemed distribution on the Valuation Date that coincides with or immediately follows his reemployment by the Employer or a Related Employer, provided that such individual is an Employee or an employee of a Related Employer on such Valuation Date. As of the Valuation Date that immediately follows a Participant's revocation of consent or repayment, and prior to any allocation of (i) the Trust Fund pursuant to Section 6.4, (ii) Forfeitures pursuant to Section 6.5, or (iii) Employer contributions pursuant to Section 6.5, there shall be allocated to the Participant's Employer Profit Sharing Contribution Account or Restoration Account, as appropriate, an amount (the "Restoration Amount") of the Trust Fund equal to the amount of his previously forfeited non-Vested Accrued Benefit. The Restoration Amount shall be credited first against Forfeitures arising for the Plan Year, and if such Forfeitures are not sufficient to satisfy the Restoration Amount in full, the Restoration Amount shall be further credited against Trust Fund income and gain for the SALARIED PROFIT SHARING AND RETIREMENT PLAN 52 58 Plan Year, and if the Restoration Amount thereafter still remains unsatisfied in full, the remainder of such amount shall be satisfied out of Employer contributions for the Plan Year, which contributions shall be supplemented for the Plan Year by an amount equal to such remainder. The Restoration Amount shall not be deemed an Annual Addition or portion thereof for any Limitation Year. In addition, the Employer may and, if necessary, shall make an Employer contribution for the purpose of restoring a Participant's previously forfeited non-Vested Accrued Benefit even though the Employer has no profits. The Administrative Committee shall give timely notice to any rehired Employee, if such Employee is eligible to make a repayment, of his right to make such repayment before the expiration of the periods or the occurrence of the events specified above, and such notice shall also include an explanation of the consequences of not making such repayment. ____________________ End of Article VII SALARIED PROFIT SHARING AND RETIREMENT PLAN 53 59 ARTICLE VIII TIME AND METHOD OF PAYMENT OF BENEFITS, --------------------------------------- WITHDRAWALS OF BENEFITS, AND LOANS TO PARTICIPANTS -------------------------------------------------- 8.1 Time of Payment. --------------- (a) Normal Retirement.

The value of the Participant's Vested Accrued Benefit shall be determined as of the Valuation Date that immediately precedes the date payment of the Participant's Vested Accrued Benefit is to begin. (e) Limitation on Time of Payment. Notwithstanding any ----------------------------- provision contained herein to the contrary, in the case of a Participant who has filed a claim for SALARIED PROFIT SHARING AND RETIREMENT PLAN 54 60 benefits in accordance with Section 12.9 hereof, unless the Participant otherwise directs, the Trustee shall make payment of the Participant's Vested Accrued Benefit not later than sixty (60) days after the latest of the following events occurs: (i) The end of the Plan Year in which the Participant attains Normal Retirement Age; (ii) The end of the Plan Year in which such Participant terminates employment with the Employer; or (iii) The 10th anniversary of the year in which the Participant commenced participation in the Plan. A Participant may elect to defer the payment of his benefits beyond the dates specified above by submitting a written statement to the Administrative Committee describing his benefit and the date on which the payment of such benefits shall be made, at the time and in the manner prescribed by the Administrative Committee. Notwithstanding the provisions above to the contrary, the Vested Accrued Benefit of each Participant (i) shall be distributed to such Participant in full not later than the Required Commencement Date or (ii) shall begin to be distributed not later than the Required Commencement Date in accordance with regulations over the life of such Participant or over the lives of such Participant and his Beneficiary (or over a period not extending beyond the life expectancy of such Participant or the life expectancy of such Participant and his Beneficiary). If distributions under the Plan have commenced with respect to a Participant and the Participant dies before his entire interest has been distributed to him, the remaining portion of such interest shall be distributed at least as rapidly as such interest would have been distributed to him, commencing not later than the Required Commencement Date, under the method of distribution in effect under the immediately preceding sentence at the Participant's death. If the Participant dies before the distribution of his interest has commenced in accordance with item (ii) of the second sentence of this paragraph, or if distribution of the Participant's interest has commenced but the Participant dies prior to his Required Commencement Date, the entire interest of the Participant shall be distributed within five (5) years after the death of the Participant; provided, however, if any portion of the Participant's interest is payable to or for the benefit of a Beneficiary and such portion of the Participant's undistributed interest will be distributed in accordance with regulations over the life of such Beneficiary or over a period not extending beyond the life expectancy of such Beneficiary and such distributions commence not later than one (1) year after the date of the Participant's death (or such later date as the Secretary of Treasury may by regulation prescribe), the deceased Participant's interest shall be distributed in accordance with the method of payment under which the interest will be distributed over the life of the Beneficiary or over a period not extending beyond the life expectancy of the Beneficiary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Beneficiary is the surviving spouse of the Participant, the deceased Participant's interest shall be distributed to such surviving spouse on or before the date on which the Participant would have attained age seventy and one-half (70 1/2); SALARIED PROFIT SHARING AND RETIREMENT PLAN 55 61 provided, further, that if the surviving spouse dies before the distributions to such spouse commence, the distribution of the interest of the deceased Participant shall begin on or before a date determined as if the surviving spouse were the Participant. For purposes of this Section 8.1(e), except in the case of a life annuity, the life expectancy of the Participant and his spouse may be redetermined but not more frequently than annually. In addition, pursuant to regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury, any amount paid to a child of the Participant shall be treated as if it had been paid to the surviving spouse of the Participant if such amount will become payable to the surviving spouse upon such child's attainment of majority (or other designated event permitted under regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury). For the purposes of this paragraph, the term "Beneficiary" shall only include individuals. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, nothing in this paragraph shall permit any Participant to elect any form of distribution not otherwise expressly permitted under this Plan; but rather, the Administrative Committee may at any time modify any form of distribution elected by a Participant or Beneficiary to ensure compliance with this paragraph. Notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, distributions hereunder will be made in accordance with the minimum distribution and incidental benefit requirements of section 401(a)(9) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, including Treasury Regulation section 1.401(a)(9)-2, and any Internal Revenue Service rulings, announcements or notices promulgated under section 401(a)(9) of the Code, including any grandfather or transitional rules thereunder. Furthermore, any provisions contained herein which reflect section 401(a)(9) of the Code shall override any distribution options in the Plan inconsistent with section 401(a)(9) of the Code. 8.2 Method of Payment. ----------------- (a) General. After all required accounting adjustments, ------- the Trustee, in accordance with the direction of the Administrative Committee, shall make payment of the Participant's Vested Accrued Benefit under one (1) or all of the following methods, as elected by the Participant or Beneficiary: (i) Payment in a lump sum. (Any amounts distributable to or for the benefit of a Participant under Section 7.5 shall be paid by payment of cash in a lump sum). (ii) Payment in a series of substantially equal quarterly or more frequent installments (which quarterly installments shall not be less than $150.00) over a reasonable period of time not exceeding the lesser of twenty (20) years or the normal life expectancy of the payee, determined in accordance with actuarial tables adopted by the Administrative Committee for this purpose and subject to the provisions of Section 8.2(b). (iii) Effective for distributions made prior to December 31, 1992, as a direct rollover to another plan which meets the requirements of section 401(a) of the Code. Effective for distributions made on and after January 1, 1993, by payment SALARIED PROFIT SHARING AND RETIREMENT PLAN 56 62 as a direct rollover to an Eligible Retirement Plan, provided that such payment qualifies for a direct rollover pursuant to section 401(a)(31) of the Code. In implementing a Participant's or Beneficiary's election with respect to this Section 8.2(a)(iii), the Employer, the Administrative Committee and the Trustee shall not be responsible for ascertaining whether a transferee plan, trust, or individual retirement account or annuity satisfies the applicable provisions of the Code, and the written request of the Participant or Beneficiary shall constitute a certification that the plan, trust, or individual retirement account or annuity satisfies such requirements and accepts such rollover. (b) Installment Payments. Except as otherwise provided -------------------- below, in the event payments to or for the benefit of a Participant are to be made in installments under this Section 8.2(b), the balance in such Participant's Accounts, after all adjustments under this Plan, will be transferred to a Separate Fixed Income Account or accounts to be established and maintained for the Participant's Benefit. Each such Separate Fixed Income Account shall be established in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of the Participant for whom such account is established and shall constitute the Participant's sole interest in the Plan. Interest or earnings on each such separate account shall be credited directly to such account and any payments or distributions made to or for the benefit of a Participant shall be charged directly or such account and such will not be adjusted under Section 6.4. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Participant may elect at such time and in such manner as the Administrative Committee deems appropriate to have his Accounts continue to be adjusted under the provisions of Section 6.4 without application of the provisions of this Section 8.2(b). A Participant, by written notice filed with the Administrative Committee during the thirty-one (31) day period ending on the first day of a Plan Year, may elect to change the frequency and amount of installments payable to such participant provided that such payments are consistent with this paragraph. 8.3 Deferral of Payments in the Case of Non-Employee and ---------------------------------------------------- Non-Eligible Employee Participants. If a Participant's Accounts are retained in - ---------------------------------- the Trust after the date on which he ceases to be an Employee or an Eligible Employee, such Accounts shall continue to be treated as a part of the Trust Fund. The Accounts of such a non-Employee and non-Eligible Employee Participant will be credited (or debited) with their share of the net income (or loss) attributable to the investments of such Accounts but shall not be credited with any further (i) Employer contributions or Forfeitures, or (ii) Participant contributions. 8.4 Withdrawal of Employee Voluntary Contribution Account, ------------------------------------------------------ Employer Salary Reduction Contribution Account, and Rollover Account Balances. - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- (a) Employee Voluntary Contribution Account. A --------------------------------------- Participant, by written notice filed with the Administrative Committee at least thirty-one (31) days in advance of the first day of any calendar quarter, may elect, effective as of the first day of such calendar quarter, to withdraw all or any portion of his Employee Voluntary Contributions. The Administrative Committee shall distribute such amounts to the Participant within a reasonable period of time after the end of the preceding calendar quarter. Upon making SALARIED PROFIT SHARING AND RETIREMENT PLAN 57 63 such a withdrawal, a Participant shall be ineligible to make further Employee Voluntary Contributions to the Plan for a period of one (1) year following the effective date of the withdrawal. (b) Employer Salary Reduction Contribution Account. A ---------------------------------------------- Participant may withdraw the amounts credited to his Employer Salary Reduction Account while he is actively employed, if he is at least age fifty-nine and one-half (59 1/2), or receives the approval of the Administrative Committee because of extreme financial hardship as provided in this Section 8.4(b). In the case of attainment of age fifty-nine and one-half (59 1/2), a Participant, by written notice filed with the Administrative Committee, may elect to withdraw all or any portion of the balance of the Participant's Employer Salary Reduction Contribution Account as of such date (but not in excess of such account balance). The Administrative Committee shall distribute such amounts to the Participant within a reasonable period of time after such date. In the case of extreme financial hardship, a Participant, by written notice filed with the Administrative Committee, may make application to the Administrative Committee at any time to withdraw amounts credited to his Employer Salary Reduction Contribution Account, to take effect as soon as administratively feasible (but not including earnings on such Participant's Employer Salary Reduction Contributions and not in excess of such account balance, determined as of such date). Application for withdrawal of Employer Salary Reduction Contribution Account balances shall be reviewed by the Administrative Committee and approved only in cases of "extreme financial hardship" (as defined below) on the part of the Participant. "Extreme financial hardship" means the immediate and heavy financial needs on the Participant as a result of the following: (i) The payment of expenses for medical care described in section 213(d) of the Code previously incurred by the Participant, the Participant's spouse, or any dependents of the Participant (as defined in section 152 of the Code); (ii) Amounts necessary for the Participant, the Participant's spouse or any dependents of the Participant (as defined in section 152 of the Code) to obtain medical care described in section 213(d) of the Code; (iii) The payment of tuition and related educational fees for the next twelve (12) months post-secondary education for the Participant or the Participant's spouse, children or dependents (as defined in section 152 of the Code); (iv) The payment of costs directly related to purchase of a principal residence for the Participant (excluding mortgage payments); (v) Payments necessary to prevent the eviction of the Participant from the Participant's principal residence or foreclosure on the mortgage on that residence; or SALARIED PROFIT SHARING AND RETIREMENT PLAN 58 64 (vi) Any other event described by the Internal Revenue Service to be deemed to be a heavy and financial need. A distribution based upon financial hardship shall not exceed the amount required to meet the immediate financial need created by the hardship and not reasonably available from other resources of the Participant. The determination of an extreme financial hardship and the amount necessary to meet the need created by the hardship shall be made by the Administrative Committee in a nondiscriminatory manner, in accordance with rules uniformly applied to all Participants similarly situated. An amount shall be considered necessary to satisfy the Participant's immediate and heavy financial need only if the Administrative Committee determines that the need cannot be relieved by any of the following: (i) Reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise; (ii) Reasonable liquidation of the Participant's assets, including assets of the Participant's spouse and minor children that are reasonably available to the Participant, to the extent such liquidation would not itself cause an immediate and heavy financial need; (iii) Cessation of Participant contributions; or (iv) A non-taxable loan from the Participant's Accounts pursuant to Section 8.13 or a loan from a commercial source on reasonable commercial terms. At the request of a Participant, the amount of such Participant's Hardship Withdrawal shall include the amount of federal tax and penalties which will be payable with respect to such Hardship Withdrawal, determined on a fully grossed up basis. A Participant withdrawing amounts pursuant to this Section 8.4 shall be prohibited from making elective contributions and employee contributions to all plans (as defined in Treas. Reg. 1.401(k)-1(d)(2)(iii)(B)(4)) maintained by an Employer for a period of twelve (12) months following such withdrawal. (c) Rollover Account. As of any Valuation Date, after all ---------------- required adjustments have been made, a Participant may withdraw an amount not in excess of the balance in his Rollover Account by filing a written request to do so with the Administrative Committee at least thirty (30) days in advance of the Valuation Date. The actual payment of the amount to be withdrawn shall occur within ninety (90) days following such Valuation Date. A Participant shall not be permitted to recontribute to or redeposit in his Accounts any portion of the amounts withdrawn pursuant to this Section 8.4. SALARIED PROFIT SHARING AND RETIREMENT PLAN 59 65 8.5 Withdrawal of Employer Profit Sharing Contributions. --------------------------------------------------- (a) Withdrawal Election. While it is the primary purpose ------------------- of the Plan to accumulate funds for the use of Participants when they retire, it is recognized that under certain circumstances it would be in the interests of Participants to make Plan funds available to them while they continue in the Service of the Employer. Accordingly, a Participant, by written notice filed with the Administrative Committee at least thirty (30) days in advance of the first day of the following Plan Year, may elect to withdraw a portion of the balance of his Employer Profit Sharing Contribution Account (as well as any contributions specified under Section 8.4 of this Plan) as of the first day of such following Plan Year, in accordance with the following provisions: (i) A Participant who has completed less than eleven (11) Years of Service (within the meaning of Section 7.6), may not withdraw any amounts then credited to his Employer Profit Sharing Contribution Account. (ii) Subject to subparagraphs (iv) and (v) below, a Participant who has completed (11) eleven or more Years of Service (within the meaning of Section 7.6) but less than sixteen (16) Years of Service (within the meaning of Section 7.6) may elect to withdraw an amount not greater than fifteen percent (15%) of his Employer Profit Sharing Contribution Account balance, determined as of the Valuation Date occurring on the last day of the Plan Year during which he gave notice of withdrawal, less an amount equal to the sum of all of his prior withdrawals. (iii) Subject to subparagraphs (iv) and (v) below, a Participant who has completed sixteen (16) Years of Service (within the meaning of Section 7.8) or more, may elect to withdraw an amount not greater than thirty percent (30%) of his Employer Profit Sharing Contribution Account balance, determined as of the Valuation Date occurring on the last day of the Plan Year during which he gave notice of withdrawal, less an amount equal to the sum of all of his prior withdrawals. (iv) No withdrawal may be made under this Section 8.5 which would result in reducing a Participant's Employer Profit Sharing Contribution Account balance to less than an amount equal to the Employer contributions and Forfeitures credited to the Participant's Employer Profit Sharing Contribution Account in the twenty-four (24) month period immediately preceding the first day of the Plan Year as of which such withdrawal is effective and payable. (v) No withdrawal may be made under this Section 8.5 by a Participant to whom a loan has been made under Section 8.13, if as a result of such withdrawal the outstanding balance due (including accrued interest thereon) on such loan would exceed the vested amount of the Participant's Employer Profit Sharing Contribution Account balance as of the Valuation Date immediately preceding the first day of the Plan Year as of which such withdrawal is effective and payable. SALARIED PROFIT SHARING AND RETIREMENT PLAN 60 66 Payments of any amounts withdrawn pursuant to an election made under this Section 8.5 will be made to the Participant as soon as practicable after the first day of the Plan Year as of which such election is effective. A Participant shall not be permitted to recontribute to or redeposit in his Accounts any portion of the amounts withdrawn pursuant to this Section 8.5. (b) Withdrawal Accounting. Any withdrawals will be --------------------- charged to the Participant's Employer Profit Sharing Contribution Account as provided in Section 6.3. 8.6 Payment in the Event of Legal Disability. Payments to any ---------------------------------------- Participant or Beneficiary shall be made to the recipient entitled thereto in person or upon his personal receipt, in form satisfactory to the Administrative Committee, except when the recipient entitled thereto shall be under a legal disability, or, in the sole judgment of the Administrative Committee, shall otherwise be unable to apply such payment in furtherance of his own interest and advantage. The Administrative Committee may, in such event, in its sole discretion, direct all or any portion of such payments to be made in any one (1) or more of the following ways: (a) To such person directly; or (b) To the court appointed guardian of his person or his estate; or (c) To a custodian appointed for such person under any applicable Uniform Gifts to Minors Act. The decision of the Administrative Committee, in each case, will be final, binding, and conclusive upon all persons ever interested hereunder. The Administrative Committee shall not be obliged to see to the proper application or expenditure of any payment so made. Any payment made pursuant to the power herein conferred upon the Administrative Committee shall operate as a complete discharge of all obligations of the Trustee and the Administrative Committee, to the extent of the distributions so made. 8.7 Accounts Charged. The Administrative Committee shall charge ---------------- all distributions made to a Participant or to his Beneficiary from his Accounts against the Accounts of the Participant when made. 8.8 Payments Only from Trust Fund. All benefits of the Plan shall ----------------------------- be payable solely from the Trust Fund and neither the Employer, Administrative Committee, nor Trustee shall have any liability or responsibility therefor except as expressly provided herein. 8.9 Unclaimed Account Procedure. None of the Trustee, the --------------------------- Administrative Committee or the Employer shall be obliged to search for, or ascertain the whereabouts of, any Participant or Beneficiary. The Administrative Committee, by certified or registered mail addressed to his last known address of record with the Administrative Committee or the Employer, shall notify any Participant or Beneficiary that he is entitled to a distribution under this Plan, and the notice shall quote the provisions of this Section 8.9. If the Participant fails to claim his benefits or make his whereabouts known in writing to the SALARIED PROFIT SHARING AND RETIREMENT PLAN 61 67 Administrative Committee within a reasonable period of time and the Administrative Committee does not know the whereabouts of the Participant or his Beneficiary, the Administrative Committee shall then notify the Social Security Administration of the Participant's (or Beneficiary's) failure to claim the distribution to which he is entitled. The Administrative Committee shall request the Social Security Administration to notify the Participant (or Beneficiary) pursuant to the procedures it has established for this purpose. If the Participant or Beneficiary fails to claim his benefits or make his whereabouts known in writing to the Administrative Committee within three (3) calendar years after the date of notification, the benefits under the Plan of the Participant or Beneficiary will be disposed of as follows: (a) If the whereabouts of the Participant is unknown but the whereabouts of the Participant's Beneficiary then is known to the Administrative Committee, distribution will be made to the Beneficiary. (b) If the whereabouts of the Participant and his Beneficiary then is unknown to the Administrative Committee, but the whereabouts of one or more relatives by adoption, blood, or marriage of the Participant is known to the Administrative Committee, the Administrative Committee shall direct the Trustee to distribute the Participant's benefits to any one or more of such relatives and in such proportions as the Administrative Committee determines. (c) If payment of a Participant's benefit cannot be made pursuant to (a) or (b) above, then such benefits shall be treated as a Forfeiture; provided, however, that, if such Participant shall thereafter claim the right to receive such benefits, the Administrative Committee shall pay such benefits to such Participant out of Forfeitures arising in the year of such claim and Employer contributions pursuant to Section 6.5(a), prior to allocating such amounts to other Plan Accounts. Prior to the forfeiture, if any, the Administrative Committee shall direct the Trustee to hold the Participant's benefits in a segregated account invested in U.S. Government obligations, Certificates of Deposit, or other obligations providing a stated rate of return. The segregated Account shall be entitled to all income it earns and shall bear all expense or loss it incurs. Any payment made pursuant to the power herein conferred upon the Administrative Committee shall operate as a complete discharge of all obligations of the Trustee and the Administrative Committee, to the extent of the distributions so made. 8.10 Special Limitations on Form of Benefits Distribution. ---------------------------------------------------- Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, (a) a Participant may not elect that his Vested Accrued Benefit be paid in the form of a life annuity and (b) except as is provided in the immediately following sentence, upon a Participant's death prior to the payment in full of such Participant's Vested Accrued Benefit, the Participant's Vested Accrued Benefit, or portion thereof not paid as of the Participant's death, shall be paid in full to the Participant's surviving spouse. Payment of a deceased Participant's Vested Accrued Benefit shall not be paid in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, but shall be paid in accordance SALARIED PROFIT SHARING AND RETIREMENT PLAN 62 68 with the Participant's election under the Plan if there is no spouse surviving the Participant or if the surviving spouse consents in the manner required in the immediately following sentence to payment of the Participant's Vested Accrued Benefit to a designated Beneficiary other than the Participant's spouse. A Participant's spouse may consent to the naming of a designated Beneficiary other than the spouse to receive the Participant's Vested Accrued Benefit, or portion thereof not distributed on the date of the Participant's death, such consent to acknowledge the effect of the election and be witnessed by a member of the Administrative Committee or a notary public. Consent of the Participant's spouse shall not be required if the spouse cannot be located or under such other circumstances as the Secretary of Treasury may by regulations prescribe. 8.11 Qualified Domestic Relations Orders. During any period in ----------------------------------- which the issue of whether a Domestic Relations Order is a Qualified Domestic Relations Order is being determined (by the Administrative Committee, by a court of competent jurisdiction, or otherwise), the Administrative Committee shall direct the Trustee to segregate in a separate account or in an escrow account the amount that would have been payable to the Alternate Payee during such period if the Domestic Relations Order is determined to be a Qualified Domestic Relations Order. If within eighteen (18) months the Domestic Relations Order (or modification thereof) is determined to be a Qualified Domestic Relations Order, the Administrative Committee directs the Trustee to pay the segregated account (and any earnings or interest thereon) or the balance held in the escrow account, as applicable, to the person or persons entitled thereto. If within eighteen (18) months it is determined that the order is not a Qualified Domestic Relations Order or the issue as to whether such Domestic Relations Order is a Qualified Domestic Relations Order is not resolved, the Administrative Committee shall direct the Trustee to pay the segregated account (and any earnings or interest thereon) or the balance of the escrow account, as applicable, to the person or persons who would have been entitled to such amounts if there had been no Domestic Relations Order. Any determination that a Domestic Relations Order is a Qualified Domestic Relations Order which is made after the close of the eighteen (18) month period shall be applied prospectively only. The Administrative Committee shall establish reasonable procedures for determining whether a Domestic Relations Order is a Qualified Domestic Relations Order and to administer distributions under Qualified Domestic Relations Orders. When the Plan receives a Domestic Relations Order the Administrative Committee shall promptly notify the appropriate Participant and any other Alternate Payee of the receipt of such order and the Administrative Committee's procedures for determining whether such order is a Qualified Domestic Relations Order. The Administrative Committee shall determine whether a Domestic Relations Order is a Qualified Domestic Relations Order within a reasonable period after receipt of such order, and shall within a reasonable time after such determination notify the Participant and each Alternate Payee of such determination. 8.12 Cash Outs and Special Limitation on Involuntary Payment of ---------------------------------------------------------- Benefits. - -------- (a) Cash Out of Vested Accrued Benefit. Notwithstanding ---------------------------------- the foregoing provisions of this Article VIII, if upon termination of a Participant's Service the value of the SALARIED PROFIT SHARING AND RETIREMENT PLAN 63 69 Participant's Vested Accrued Benefit, determined as of the Valuation Date immediately preceding the Participant's termination of Service, does not exceed Three Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($3,500), the Administrative Committee shall direct the Trustee to (i) distribute the value of the Participant's Vested Accrued Benefit to the Participant or the Participant's Beneficiary in a lump sum cash payment or, (ii) with respect to distributions made on or after January 1, 1993, if the Participant or Beneficiary so elects, rollover such amount to an Eligible Retirement Plan, such distribution or rollover to occur at any time prior to a Valuation Date upon which the value of such Accrued Benefit exceeds Three Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($3,500). (b) Limitations on the Involuntary Payment of Vested ------------------------------------------------ Accrued Benefit. If a Participant terminates Service for any reason other than - --------------- death prior to the date the Participant attains Normal Retirement Age, the Participant (and his spouse if he is married) does not consent to the commencement of payment of his Vested Accrued Benefit prior to such date, and the value of the Participants's Vested Accrued Benefit as of a proposed distribution date after such termination of Service exceeds Three Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($3,500), the Administrative Committee shall direct the Trustee to retain the value of the Participant's Vested Accrued Benefit in the Trust Fund until the earlier of the date that the Participant requests the Administrative Committee to distribute such benefit in a lump sum or as a direct rollover (at which time such benefit shall be so distributed) or the date the Participant attains Normal Retirement Age, when the value of such Vested Accrued Benefit shall be distributed in accordance with Section 8.2. Until distribution, the Participant's Accounts shall be administered in accordance with Section 8.3. The restrictions on the time of distribution of a Participant's Vested Accrued Benefit set forth above in this Section 8.12(b) shall not apply after the Participant's death or if the Participant's Vested Accrued Benefit does not exceed Three Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($3,500). Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.12, a Participant who has terminated Service as provided above in this Section 8.12 and satisfied the Service requirements for early retirement specified in Section 7.2, shall, upon attaining the age specified in Section 7.2, become eligible for a distribution of his Vested Accrued Benefit as if the Participant were eligible for early retirement, within the meaning of Section 7.2. 8.13 Loans to Participants. --------------------- (a) Loans to Participants: Basic Terms and Limits. Within --------------------------------------------- the following limits, the Administrative Committee may, in its sole discretion, authorize the Trustee to make loans to any active Participant or to any Alternate Payee of up to fifty percent (50%) of the vested portion of his Employer Salary Reduction Contribution Account and of up to fifty percent (50%) of the vested portion of his Accounts other than his Employer Salary Reduction Account; provided, however, that no loan, when taken together with the outstanding balance of all other Plan loans, shall exceed the greater of ------- (i) Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000) or SALARIED PROFIT SHARING AND RETIREMENT PLAN 64 70 (ii) The lesser of (a) Fifty Thousand Dollars ------ ($50,000) (as adjusted pursuant to section 72(p)(2)(A)(i) of the Code) or (b) one-half (1/2) of the value of the Participant's or Alternate Payee's vested portion of his Accounts. The limitation on the amount of any loan which may be made from this Plan shall include in computing such limitation loans made from any plan with which the Plan must be included for purposes of sections 414(b), (c) and (m) of the Code. Such loans may be made from the Trust Fund to a Participant or Alternate Payee to enable the Participant or Alternate Payee to meet any (i) extraordinary expenses incurred on account of accident, sickness, or disability, (ii) unreimbursed medical expenses, (iii) educational expenses, (iv) expenses for the purchase of a primary residence for the Participant or Alternate Payee, (v) expenses arising from necessary and basic home improvements to the Participant's or Alternate Payee's primary residence, or (vi) funeral expenses for a member of the Participant's or Alternate Payee's family. Loans shall be a directed investment of, and charged against the Accounts of the Participant or Alternate Payee, first from the Employer Salary Reduction Account, if sufficient, and if the Employer Salary Reduction Account is not sufficient to satisfy the amount of the loan, then pro rata from the Employer Profit Sharing Account, Qualified Affiliate Account, and Rollover Account. In addition, no loan shall be made from a Participant's Employer Salary Reduction Contribution Account unless the Participant satisfies the requirements of section 401(k)(2)(B) of the Code, and any Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, with respect to hardship. All loans to Participants or to Alternate Payees shall by their terms be repaid within five (5) years from the dates on which they are made. There need be, however, no five (5) year limit to any loan that is used to acquire the primary residence for the Participant or Alternate Payee; provided that, such loan must be repayable within a reasonable period of time. The reasonableness of the time specified in the preceding sentence shall be determined on the date the loan is made. Notwithstanding the above, all loans shall be accelerated and immediately due in full upon a Participant's termination of Service. The minimum amount of a loan, if any, shall be determined from time to time by the Administrative Committee on a basis uniformly applied to all Participants. All loans shall be made at an interest rate equal to the prime rate of interest of the bank serving as Trustee plus one percent (1%), or if such rate is not a reasonable rate, then at a reasonable rate and shall be adequately secured. All loans shall be made on the basis of substantially level amortization over the term of the loan, with payments due not less frequently than quarterly. A loan made pursuant to this Section 8.13 shall be in default if the Participant fails to make any scheduled repayment. Loans, if made hereunder, shall be made available to all Participants on a uniform and nondiscriminatory basis. No loan shall be made to a Participant unless the Participant and, if the Participant is married, the then spouse of the Participant consent within ninety (90) days prior to the making of the loan and in writing to both the making of the loan and to the set off of the Participant's Accrued Benefit upon default under the loan. For purposes of this Section 8.13(a), any renegotiation, extension, renewal, or other revision of a loan shall SALARIED PROFIT SHARING AND RETIREMENT PLAN 65 71 be treated as a new loan made on the date of the renegotiation, extension, renewal, or other revision. (b) Instruments and Security for Loans. Each loan ---------------------------------- hereunder shall be evidenced by a promissory note and secured by a security agreement, mortgage, deed of trust, or such other security instruments as the Administrative Committee may require. All such instruments shall contain, in addition to the provisions specifically required by this Section 8.13, such repayment, default, and remedial terms as may be determined by the Administrative Committee. Security for loans hereunder shall be provided by the pledge of no more than fifty percent (50%) of a Participant's Vested Accrued Benefit and the pledge of such additional collateral as the Administrative Committee may require. Each loan shall be repaid by payroll deduction in the manner prescribed by the Administrative Committee. Repayments shall be credited against the Participant's Employer Profit Sharing Contribution Account or Employer Salary Reduction Contribution Account, as appropriate, based on the Account from which the loan was made. Further, if because of a decrease in the value of a Participant's Vested Accrued Benefit or any other circumstance, the Administrative Committee believes a loan to be inadequately secured, it shall either require the Participant to post security in addition to the value of his Vested Accrued Benefit or demand accelerated, including immediate, payment of the loan. An assignment for security of a Participant's Accrued Benefit shall be limited as provided in Section 12.5 hereof. The default provisions of the instruments relating to a loan shall provide that upon default a loan may be charged back against the Participant's Accounts as a distribution at the earliest time the Participant is entitled to receive a distribution under this Plan. In the event that a Participant shall default on a Plan loan, the value of his Vested Accrued Benefit shall be adjusted to take into account any charge back to his Accounts, that has or will occur as a result of such default for purposes of granting the Participant any subsequent loans under the Plan. In the event that property is used to secure the loan, the default provisions of the instruments relating to the loan shall provide that upon default the Administrative Committee shall take whatever steps are necessary to foreclose on such property. Each promissory note and security instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee for the benefit of the Trust. 8.14 Transfers to Qualified Affiliates. In the event a Participant --------------------------------- is transferred from employment with an Employer to employment with a Qualified Affiliate, the Administrative Committee, at the request of the Participant, shall transfer the Participant's Account balances under this Plan, as adjusted as of the Valuation Date at the end of the applicable Plan Year, and all liability for the payment of benefits with respect to such Account balances, to the trustee or trustees under the qualified plan maintained by such Qualified Affiliate; provided that the administrative committee of such plan consents to the transfer. Such transfer shall be made as a lump sum, in cash except that if any insurance contracts have been purchased and are held for the benefit of such transferred participant under this SALARIED PROFIT SHARING AND RETIREMENT PLAN 66 72 Plan, such transfer shall include such contracts. Following such transfer, the Participant shall have no further claim for benefit under this Plan. ____________________ End of Article VIII SALARIED PROFIT SHARING AND RETIREMENT PLAN 67 73 ARTICLE IX TOP HEAVY PLAN PROVISIONS ------------------------- 9.1 Top Heavy Rules Applied.

(e) "Determination Date" shall mean, with respect to any ------------------ Plan Year, the last day of the preceding plan year, except in the case of the first Plan Year of a Plan, in which event the Determination Date shall be the last day of such Plan Year. Whenever it is necessary to determine the value of accrued benefits as of a given Determination Date, such value shall be determined as of the Valuation Date that immediately precedes the Determination Date. (f) "Key Employee" shall mean, subject to the rules set ------------ forth in the last paragraph of this Section 9.2(f), any Aggregation Employee or former Aggregation Employee (including any deceased employee) who at any time during the current Plan Year or any of the four (4) preceding Plan Years, is or was: SALARIED PROFIT SHARING AND RETIREMENT PLAN 68 74 (i) An officer of the Aggregation Employer having an annual Compensation greater than fifty percent (50%) of the dollar limitation in effect under section 415(b)(1)(A) of the Code for the calendar year in which the Plan Year ends; (ii) One of the ten (10) employees of an Aggregation Single Employer having annual Compensation for the Plan Year from such Aggregation Single Employer of more than the dollar limitation in effect under section 415(c)(1)(A) of the Code and owning (or considered as owning within the meaning of section 318 of the Code) the largest interests in such Aggregation Single Employer, and if two (2) such employees have the same interest in the employer, the employee having the greater annual Compensation from the employer shall be treated as having a larger interest; (iii) A five percent (5%) owner of an Aggregation Single Employer; or (iv) A one percent (1%) owner of an Aggregation Single Employer having compensation of more than One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000.00). In addition, the term "Key Employee" shall mean the beneficiary of any Aggregation Employee or former Aggregation Employee defined above in this Section 9.2(f) as being a Key Employee. For the purposes of determining which Aggregation Employees or former Aggregation Employees, if any, are or were officers of the Aggregation Employer, whether an individual is an officer shall initially be determined based on his responsibilities with respect to the Aggregation Single Employer or Single Aggregation Employers by whom he is directly employed, and of such individuals initially deemed officers, no more than fifty (50) Aggregation Employees, or, if lesser, the greater of three (3) Aggregation Employees or ten percent (10%) of the Aggregation Employees of the Aggregation Employer, shall be treated as officers. In addition, sole proprietorships, partnerships, associations, corporations, trusts, and labor organizations may have officers; and any person who is an administrative executive in regular and continued service shall be deemed an officer, subject to the above limitations. For purposes of determining the number of officers taken into account under clause (i), Aggregation Employees that are described in section 414(q)(8) of the Code shall be excluded. The number of employees that the Aggregation Employer has for the Plan Year containing the Determination Date with respect to a Plan shall be the greatest number of employees the Aggregation Employer had during that Plan Year or any of the preceding four (4) Plan Years. A "five percent (5%) owner" shall mean, if the Aggregation Single Employer is a corporation, any person who owns (or is considered as owning within the meaning of section 318 of the Code) more than five percent (5%) of the outstanding stock of the Aggregation Single Employer or stock possessing more than five percent (5%) of the total combined voting power of all stock of the Aggregation Single Employer and, if the Aggregation Single SALARIED PROFIT SHARING AND RETIREMENT PLAN 69 75 Employer is not a corporation, any employee who owns more than five percent (5%) of the capital or profits interest in the Aggregation Single Employer. A "one percent (1%) owner" shall mean, if the Aggregation Single Employer is a corporation, any person who owns (or is considered as owning within the meaning of section 318 of the Code) more than one percent (1%) of the outstanding stock of the Aggregation Single Employer or stock possessing more than one percent (1%) of the total combined voting power of all stock of the Aggregation Single Employer and, if the Aggregation Single Employer is not a corporation, any employee who owns more than one percent (1%) of the capital or profits interest in the Aggregation Single Employer. For purposes of applying the attribution rules of section 318 of the Code, section 318(a)(2)(C) of the Code shall be applied by substituting "five percent (5%)" for "fifty percent (50%)" each time that term appears in said section. In the case of an entity other than a corporation, ownership shall be attributed as under section 318 of the Code, except that capital or profits interests shall be substituted for stock interests. If an employee's ownership interest in an employer changes during a Plan Year, his ownership interest for such Plan Year is the largest interest he owned at any time during the year. An Employee or individual who is not described above as being a Key Employee, including a former Key Employee, is not a Key Employee. (g) "Permissive Aggregation Group" shall mean a Plan or a ---------------------------- group of Plans that must be aggregated in the Required Aggregation Group and any other plan or plans of an Aggregation Employer if the group would continue to satisfy the requirements of sections 401(a)(4) and 410 of the Code with such additional Plan being taken into account. Benefits under such Plans shall be aggregated by adding together the present values of the accrued benefits (determined separately for each Plan as of each plan's Determination Date) and adding together the results for each Plan as of the Determination Dates for such Plans that fall within the same calendar year. (h) "Plan" shall mean a plan that satisfies the ---- requirements of section 401(a) of the Code. (i) "Plan Year" shall mean the plan year of a Plan of an --------- Aggregation Single Employer. (j) "Required Aggregation Group" shall mean a group of -------------------------- Plans consisting of: (i) Each Plan of the Aggregation Employer in which a Key Employee participates during the Plan Year containing the Determination Date for such Plan or has participated during any of the immediately preceding four (4) Plan Years; and (ii) Any other Plan of the Aggregation Employer that enables any of such Plans to satisfy the requirements of section 401(a)(4) or 410 of the Code. Benefits under such Plans shall be aggregated by adding together the present values of the accrued benefits (determined separately for each Plan as of each Plan's Determination Date) SALARIED PROFIT SHARING AND RETIREMENT PLAN 70 76 and adding together the results for each Plan as of the Determination Dates for such Plans that fall within the same calendar year. (k) "Top Heavy Plan" shall mean the Plan for a given Plan -------------- Year that the Plan is not a member of a Required Aggregation Group (because there are no other plans that must be aggregated with the Plan), if the sum (determined as of the Determination Date for the Plan) of the present value of the cumulative accrued benefits (determined in accordance with section 1.416-1 of the Treasury Regulations) for Key Employees of the Employer exceeds sixty percent (60%) of a similar sum determined for all Employees. If for a given Plan Year the Plan is a member of a Required Aggregation Group, the Plan shall be a Top Heavy Plan for such Plan Year if, as of the Plan's Determination Date for such Plan Year, both the Required Aggregation Group and the Permissive Aggregation Group that include the Plan are Top Heavy Groups (herein so called). A "Top Heavy Group" is any Required Aggregation Group or Permissive Aggregation Group if the sum (determined as of the Determination Dates for the plans in such group that fall within the same calendar year) of (i) the present value of the accrued benefits (determined in accordance with section 1.416-1 of the Treasury Regulations) for Key Employees under all defined benefit plans (within the meaning of section 414(j) of the Code) included in such group and (ii) the accrued benefits (determined in accordance with section 1.416-1 of the Treasury Regulations) of Key Employees under all defined contribution plans (within the meaning of section 414(i) of the Code) included in such group exceeds sixty percent (60%) of a similar sum determined for all Aggregation Employees. For purpose of determining the present value of the accrued benefit of any employee, the present value shall be increased, as required by section 1.416-1 of the Treasury Regulations, by the aggregate distributions made with respect to such Employee under the Plan during the five (5) year period ending on the Determination Date for such Plan, and under any terminated Plan that, if it had not been terminated, would have been included in the Required Aggregation Group. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.2(k), if any individual has not performed services for any employer maintaining the Plan at any time during the five (5) year period ending on the Determination Date for such Plan, any accrued benefit for such individual (and the account of such individual) shall not be taken into account. Except to the extent provided in Regulations of the Secretary of the Treasury, any Rollover Contribution (or similar transfer) initiated by an Employee and made after December 31, 1983, to a Plan shall not be taken into account with respect to the transferee Plan for purposes of determining whether such Plan is a Top Heavy Plan (or whether any aggregation group which includes such Plan is a Top Heavy Group). If any individual is not a Key Employee with respect to a Plan in the aggregation group for any Plan Year, but such individual was a Key Employee with respect to a Plan in the aggregation group for any prior Plan Year, any accrued benefit for such Employee and the account of such employee shall not be taken into consideration in making a determination of the top heavy status of the Plan. Each Plan in a Top Heavy Group shall be deemed a Top Heavy Plan. SALARIED PROFIT SHARING AND RETIREMENT PLAN 71 77 (l) "Super Top Heavy Plan" shall mean a Top Heavy Plan if -------------------- the plan would be a Top Heavy Plan if "ninety percent (90%)" were substituted for "sixty percent (60%)" each place it appears in Section 9.2(k) above. 9.3 Additional Limitation - Defined Benefit Plan. -------------------------------------------- (a) Super Top Heavy Plan Years. If during a Plan Year -------------------------- this Plan is a Super Top Heavy Plan and a Participant also participates in one or more qualified defined benefit plans (within the meaning of section 414(j) of the Code) maintained by the Employer or a Related Employer, the maximum amount otherwise allocable to his Accounts under Section 6.5 for any Limitation Year that contains any portion of the Plan Year during which this Plan is a Super Top Heavy Plan shall be reduced to the extent necessary to ensure that the sum of the Defined Benefit Fraction (within the meaning of Section 6.11(c)) for the Limitation Year plus the Defined Contribution Fraction (within the meaning of Section 6.11(c)) for the Limitation Year does not exceed one (1.0). For this purpose the Defined Benefit Fraction shall have a denominator that shall be an amount equal to the lesser of: (i) the product of one (1.0) ------ multiplied by the dollar limitation in effect for such year under section 415(b)(1)(A) of the Code or (ii) the product of one and four-tenths (1.4) multiplied by the amount that may be taken into account for such year under section 415(b)(1)(B) of the Code with respect to such Participant. The Defined Contribution Fraction shall have a denominator that shall be the sum of the lesser of the following amounts determined for each defined contribution plan - ------ maintained by the Employer or a Related Employer as of the close of the Limitation Year and in which the Participant has an account for the Limitation Year and for each prior year of service with the Employer: (i) the product of one (1.0) multiplied by the dollar limitation in effect for such year under subsection 415(c)(1)(A) of the Code (determined without regard to section 415(c)(6) of the Code) or (ii) the product of one and four-tenths (1.4) multiplied by the amount that may be taken into account under section 415(c)(1)(B) of the Code with respect to such individual under such defined contribution plans for the Limitation Year. (b) Top Heavy Plan Years. If during a Plan Year this Plan -------------------- is a Top Heavy Plan but not a Super Top Heavy Plan, the provisions of Section 9.3(a) shall nevertheless be applicable to the Plan and the Plan shall be deemed a Super Top Heavy Plan for the purposes of Section 9.3(a) if either of the following conditions are satisfied: (i) The Employer fails to make a contribution for the Plan Year for the benefit of each non-Key Employee Participant who is employed by the Employer on the last day of the Plan Year; or (ii) The Employer's contribution for the Plan Year allocated to any non-Key Employee's Employer contribution accounts, when aggregated with the amounts of the Employer's contributions for the Plan Year allocated to such non-Key Employee's accounts under all other defined contribution plans (within the meaning of section 414(i) of the Code) maintained by the Employer, and when expressed as a percentage of such non-Key Employee's Compensation for the Plan Year, is less than the lesser of: ------ SALARIED PROFIT SHARING AND RETIREMENT PLAN 72 78 (A) Four percent (4%); or (B) The "highest applicable percentage for the Plan Year." For purposes of this Section 9.3(b), the "highest applicable percentage for the Plan Year" is the greatest percentage that can be obtained with respect to the group of Key Employee Participants for the Plan Year as a result of dividing with respect to each Key Employee Participant (A) the aggregate for the Plan Year of the Employer's contributions allocated to such Key Employee Participant's Employer contribution account and to such Key Employee Participant's accounts under all other defined contribution plans (within the meaning of section 414(i) of the Code) maintained by the Employer by (B) such Key Employee Participant's Compensation for the Plan Year. (c) Special Rule. Notwithstanding the foregoing ------------ provisions of this Section 9.3, if for any Plan Year the Plan is a Top Heavy Plan or Super Top Heavy Plan, the sum of the Defined Benefit Fraction (within the meaning of Section 6.11(c)) and the Defined Contribution Fraction (within the meaning of Section 6.11(c)) for a Limitation Year may in the case of a Participant exceed one (1.0) (but not one and one-fourth (1.25)) if, but only if, there are no further benefit accruals for that individual under any defined benefit plan (within the meaning of section 414(j) of the Code) maintained by the Employer or a Related Employer and no further annual additions (within the meaning of section 415(c)(2) of the Code) for that individual under any defined contribution plan (within the meaning of section 414(i) of the Code) maintained by the Employer or any Related Employer until the sum of such fractions satisfies the rules of section 415(e) of the Code using the one (1.0) factor for that individual. 9.4 Minimum Benefit. During any Plan Year in which this Plan is a --------------- Top Heavy Plan, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.5, the Employer shall make an aggregate contribution to this Plan and any Related Plan for the benefit of each Participant who is an Employee and is not a Key Employee and who was in the Service of the Employer on the last day of the Plan Year in an amount which when allocated to the accounts of each Participant who is not a Key Employee and expressed as a percentage of each such Participant's compensation, is equal to or exceeds the lesser of: (i) Three percent (3%) of such non-Key Employee Participant's Compensation; or (ii) A percentage of such non-Key Employee Participant's Compensation, such percentage being equal to the percentage at which contributions and Forfeitures are made under the Plan for such year for the Key Employee for whom such percentage is the highest. The amount to be allocated to non-Key Employee Participants pursuant to this Section 9.4 shall include any amounts otherwise allocable under Section 6.4 (except for Employer Salary Reduction Contributions) and shall not be in addition thereto. Employer Salary Reduction Contributions cannot be used to satisfy the minimum contribution requirement for non-Key SALARIED PROFIT SHARING AND RETIREMENT PLAN 73 79 Employees under this Section 9.4. An Employee who is not a Key Employee may not fail to accrue a minimum benefit under this Section 9.4 because either (1) such Employee is otherwise excluded from participation (or accrues no benefit) merely because the Employee's Compensation is less than a stated amount or (2) the Employee is otherwise excluded from participation (or accrued no benefit) merely because of a failure to make mandatory Employee contributions. In addition, notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Section 9.4, the following rules shall apply for purposes of determining whether the minimum benefit provisions of this Section 9.4 have been satisfied in the event that during a Plan Year the Employer maintains two (2) or more Plans (within the meaning of section 1.401-1(b) of the Treasury Regulations) that are Top Heavy Plans or Super Top Heavy Plans for a Plan Year. If the Employer maintains during a Plan Year two (2) or more defined contribution plans (within the meaning of section 414(i) of the Code), one (1) of which is a money purchase pension plan (within the meaning of section 1.401-1(b)(1)(i) of the Treasury Regulations), the minimum Employer contribution and benefits required by this Section 9.4 on behalf a Participant who is not a Key Employee and who participates in both the money purchase pension plan and this Plan shall, unless provided otherwise in the money purchase pension plan, be provided under the money purchase pension plan to the extent such plan provides for an Employer contribution sufficient to satisfy such minimum, and only to the extent that such minimum is not provided under the money purchase pension plan shall any portion of such minimum contribution and benefits be provided under this Plan. If the Participant participates in two (2) or more such defined contribution plans that are not money purchase pension plans and one (1) of such plans requires Employer contributions for a Plan Year but the other plan does not require Employer contributions for a plan year, the minimum Employer contribution and benefits required by this Section 9.4 shall be provided under the plan that requires Employer contributions, and only to the extent such minimum is not provided under such plan shall such minimum be provided under the plan or plans that do not require Employer contributions. If during a Plan Year, the Employer maintains this Plan and a defined benefit plan (within the meaning of section 414(j) of the Code) and a Participant who is not a Key Employee participates in both of such plans, then if such Participant is entitled to accrue a benefit under such defined benefit plan with respect to such Plan Year, and such Participant has accrued a benefit equal to or in excess of the lesser of: ------ (i) Two percent (2%) multiplied by his number of years of Eligibility Service (as defined in Article III); or (ii) Twenty percent (20%) multiplied by the Participant's average Compensation during the five (5) consecutive year period during which the Participant had the greatest aggregate Compensation from the Employer. SALARIED PROFIT SHARING AND RETIREMENT PLAN 74 80 The Employer shall not be required to provide for such Participant under this Plan the minimum benefit otherwise required under this Section 9.4; provided, however, that if this Plan requires or is amended to require an Employer contribution for a Plan Year, the minimum benefit accrual under the defined benefit plan shall be offset by the benefits provided under this Plan for such Plan Year as provided in section 1.416-1, M-12, of the Treasury Regulations. If for a Plan Year this Plan is a Top Heavy Plan, but not a Super Top Heavy Plan, and the Employer makes contributions on behalf of a Participant under both this Plan and a defined benefit plan (within the meaning of section 414(j) of the Code) and the Employer wishes to use a factor of one and one-fourth (1.25) rather than one (1.0) as a limitation on the sum of the Defined Contribution Fraction (within the meaning of Section 6.11(c)) and Defined Benefit Fraction (within the meaning of Section 6.11(c)) for the Limitation Year, then the defined benefit plan minimum benefit accrual specified above shall be increased by one (1) percentage point (up to a maximum of ten (10) percentage points) for each year of Eligibility Service (within the meaning of Section 3.2) within which a Plan Year during which this Plan was a Top Heavy Plan or Super Top Heavy Plan ended; provided that no such year of Eligibility Service completed during a Plan Year beginning prior to January 1, 1984, shall be counted for such purpose. Nothing in this Section 9.4 shall prohibit the Employer from making contributions in excess of the minimums stated herein provided such contributions are otherwise in accordance with the provisions of the Plan or other plan pursuant to which they are made. 9.5 Termination of Service Prior to Normal Retirement Age. If ----------------------------------------------------- during any Plan Year a Participant has performed at least one (1) Hour of Service for the Employer and the Plan is a Top Heavy Plan, such Participant shall have a fully vested, non-forfeitable interest in his Accrued Benefit attributable to his Qualified Affiliated Account and Employer Profit Sharing Contribution Account, if his Service with the Employer terminates prior to his Normal Retirement Age or Early Retirement Age for any reason other than death or Total and Permanent Disability, that is not less than as determined in accordance with the following schedule: Percent Deemed Years of Vesting Service Vested ------------------------ -------------- Less than 1 year 0% 1 year but less than 2 10% 2 years but less than 3 20% 3 years but less than 4 45% 4 years but less than 5 70% 5 years or more 100% Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, if during any prior Plan Year the Plan was a Top Heavy Plan and in any subsequent Plan Year the Plan ceases to be a Top Heavy Plan, the rights of a Participant who had performed at least one (1) Hour of Service during the Period the Plan was a Top Heavy Plan in and to his Accrued Benefit attributable to his Employer SALARIED PROFIT SHARING AND RETIREMENT PLAN 75 81 Matching Contribution Account shall not be less than his vested rights during the period that the Plan was a Top Heavy Plan. Provided, further, any Participant who has three (3) or more Years of Service at the beginning of a Plan Year in which the Plan ceases to be a Top Heavy Plan shall have the right to elect, within a reasonable time of the beginning of the Plan Year in which the Plan ceases to be a Top Heavy Plan, to have his vested percentage under this Plan computed in accordance with the schedule applicable to Plan Years in which the Plan is a Top Heavy Plan. Any election made under this Section 9.5 shall be made in the manner specified by Section 10.5 as if such change in vesting schedule had been made by way of an amendment. ____________________ End of Article IX SALARIED PROFIT SHARING AND RETIREMENT PLAN 76 82 ARTICLE X EMPLOYER ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS ---------------------------------- 10.1 Information. The Employer shall, upon request or as may be ----------- specifically required hereunder, furnish or cause to be furnished, all of the information or documentation which is necessary or required by the Committees and Trustee to perform their respective duties and functions under the Plan.

In the event that the Employer fails to provide such defense, the costs of such defense shall be paid from the Trust Fund; provided however, that no indemnification may be made from the Trust Fund pursuant to this Section 10.4 to the extent that such indemnification would relieve the Board of Directors, individual Trustees, or any members of the Committees from any liability they may have under the Act for breach of fiduciary duty. 10.5 Amendment to Vesting Schedule. Although the Employer reserves ----------------------------- the right to amend the vesting schedule set out in Section 7.5 at any time, the Employer shall not amend the vesting schedule (and no amendment shall be effective) if the amendment would reduce the nonforfeitable percentage of any Participant's Accrued Benefit derived from Employer contributions (determined as of the later of the date the Employer adopts the amendment, or the date the amendment becomes effective) to a percentage less than the nonforfeitable percentage computed under the Plan without regard to the amendment. In the event the vesting schedule of this Plan is amended, and any Participant who has completed at least three (3) Years of Service, as defined in Section 7.6, may elect to have his Vested Accrued Benefit computed under the Plan without regard to such amendment by notifying the Administrative Committee in writing during the election period hereinafter described. The election period shall begin on the date such amendment is adopted and shall end no earlier than the latest of the following dates: ------ SALARIED PROFIT SHARING AND RETIREMENT PLAN 77 83 (a) The date which is sixty (60) days after the day such amendment is adopted; (b) The date which is sixty (60) days after the day such amendment becomes effective; or (c) The date which is sixty (60) days after the day the Participant is given written notice of such amendment by the Administrative Committee. Any election made pursuant to this Section 10.5 shall be irrevocable. The Administrative Committee, as soon as practicable, shall forward a true copy of any amendment to the vesting schedule to each affected Participant, together with an explanation of the effect of the amendment, the appropriate form upon which the Participant may make an election to remain under the vesting schedule provided under the Plan prior to the amendment, and notice of the time within which the Participant must make an election to remain under the prior vesting schedule. ____________________ End of Article X SALARIED PROFIT SHARING AND RETIREMENT PLAN 78 84 ARTICLE XI COMMITTEES - ADMINISTRATION AND INVESTMENT PROVISIONS ----------------------------------------------------- 11.1 Membership.

SALARIED PROFIT SHARING AND RETIREMENT PLAN 84 90 12.9 Claims Procedure. ---------------- (a) General. Except in the case of early retirement, ------- prior to or upon becoming entitled to receive a benefit hereunder, a Participant or Beneficiary shall file a claim for such benefit with the Administrative Committee at the time and in the manner prescribed thereby. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, the Administrative Committee may direct the Trustee to commence payment of a Participant's or Beneficiary's benefits hereunder without requiring the filing of a claim therefor if the Administrative Committee has knowledge of such Participant's or Beneficiary's whereabouts. (b) Early Retirement Benefits. A Participant who is ------------------------- eligible to apply for an early retirement benefit under Section 7.2 hereof and elects to do so shall file an application therefor with the Administrative Committee at the time and in the manner prescribed thereby. 12.10 Appeal Procedure for Denial of Benefits. The Administrative --------------------------------------- Committee shall provide adequate notice in writing to any Claimant whose claim for benefits under the Plan the Administrative Committee has denied. Such notice must be sent within ninety (90) days of the date the claim is received by the Administrative Committee unless special circumstances require an extension of time for processing the claim. Such extension shall not exceed ninety (90) days and no extension shall be allowed unless, within the initial ninety (90) day period, the Claimant is sent an extension notice indicating the special circumstances requiring the extension and specifying a date by which the Administrative Committee expects to render its final decision. The Administrative Committee's notice of denial to the Claimant shall set forth: (a) The specific reason or reasons for the denial; (b) Specific references to pertinent Plan provisions on which the Administrative Committee based its denial; (c) A description of any additional material and information needed for the Claimant to perfect his claim and an explanation of why the material or information is needed; (d) A statement that the Claimant may: (i) Request a review upon written application to the Committee; (ii) Review pertinent Plan documents; and (iii) Submit issues and comments in writing. (e) That any appeal the Claimant wishes to make of the adverse determination must be in writing to the Administrative Committee within sixty (60) days after receipt of the Administrative Committee's notice of denial of benefits. The SALARIED PROFIT SHARING AND RETIREMENT PLAN 85 91 Administrative Committee's notice must further advise the Claimant that his failure to appeal the action to the Administrative Committee in writing within the sixty (60) day period will render the Administrative Committee's determination final, binding, and conclusive. If the Claimant should appeal to the Administrative Committee, he, or his duly authorized representative, may submit, in writing, whatever issues and comments he, or his duly authorized representative, feels are pertinent. The Administrative Committee shall reexamine all facts related to the appeal and make a final determination as to whether the denial of benefits is justified under the circumstances. The Administrative Committee shall advise the Claimant in writing of its decision on his appeal, the specific reasons for the decision, and the specific Plan provisions on which the decision is based. The notice of the decision shall be given within sixty (60) days of the Claimant's written request for review, unless special circumstances (such as a hearing) would make the rendering of a decision within the sixty (60) day period infeasible, but in no event shall the Administrative Committee render a decision regarding the denial of a claim for benefits later than one hundred and twenty (120) days after its receipt of a request for review. If an extension of time for review is required because of special circumstances, written notice of the extension shall be furnished to the Claimant prior to the date the extension period commences. The Administrative Committee's notice of denial of benefits shall identify the name of each member of the Administrative Committee and the name and address of the Administrative Committee member to whom the Claimant may forward his appeal. 12.11 Place of Payment and Proof of Continued Eligibility. As --------------------------------------------------- required by Section 12.4, each Participant and Beneficiary shall file with the Administrative Committee from time to time in writing his post office address and each change of post office address. Any check representing payment hereunder and any communication addressed to a Participant, a former Participant, or Beneficiary at his last address filed with the Administrative Committee, or if no such address has been filed, then at his last address as indicated on the records of the Employer, shall be deemed to have been delivered to such person on the date on which such check or communication is deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid. If the Administrative Committee, for any reason, is in doubt as to whether payments under the Plan are being received by the person entitled thereto, it shall, by certified or registered mail addressed to the person concerned, at his address last known to the Administrative Committee, notify such person that all unmailed and future Plan benefit payments shall be withheld until he provides the Administrative Committee with evidence of his entitlement to such benefit and his proper mailing address. 12.12 No Rights Implied. Nothing contained in this Plan, or with ----------------- respect to the establishment of the Trust, or any modification or amendment to the Plan or Trust, or in the creation of any Account, or the payment of any benefit, shall give any Employee, Participant, or any Beneficiary any right to continue employment, any legal or equitable right against the Employer or any officer, director, or Employee of the Employer, or against the Trustee, or its agents or employees, except as expressly provided by the Plan, the Trust or the Act. 12.13 Insurance Contracts. ------------------- SALARIED PROFIT SHARING AND RETIREMENT PLAN 86 92 (a) Insurance Election.

(c) Voting of Company Stock. Unless otherwise required by ----------------------- law, the Trustee shall vote the Company stock held in the Trust Fund for the respective Accounts of the Plan Participants.

Any Employer, by action of its board ---------------------- of directors and upon notice to the Company and the Trustee, may withdraw from the Plan and Trust at anytime without affecting other Employers not withdrawing, by complying with the provisions of the Plan. Termination of the Plan as it relates to an Employer upon its withdrawal shall be governed by the provisions of Article XV. A withdrawing Employer may arrange for the continuation of this Plan and Trust by itself or its successor in separate form for its own Employees, with such amendments, if any, as it may deem proper, or may arrange for continuation of the Plan and Trust by merger with an existing plan and trust qualified under sections 401(a) and 501(a) of the Code and transfer of such portion of the Trust assets as the Administrative Committee determines are allocable to the Employer and its Employee-Participants. The Company may, in its absolute discretion, by resolution of its Board of Directors, terminate an Employer's participation at any time when the Employer is no longer a member of the affiliated group which qualifies it to adopt the Plan under Section 15.1 or when in its judgment such Employer fails or refuses to discharge its obligations under the Plan following such prior notice and opportunity to cure as may be SALARIED PROFIT SHARING AND RETIREMENT PLAN 98 104 appropriate under the circumstances. In the event that the voting stock of a subsidiary which has adopted the Plan as an Employer under Section 2.1(aa) is sold or otherwise disposed of so that after such sale or other disposition such Employer is no longer a subsidiary as defined in Section 2.1(ggg) and is no longer included in a controlled group of corporations or entities under section 414(b) or (c) of the Code that includes the Company, such entity shall no longer be considered an Employer under the Plan and its participation in the Plan will terminate on such date. The provisions of Section 15.3 shall apply with respect to any Participants affected by such Employer withdrawal. 15.3 Disposition of Participant's Accounts Upon Employer --------------------------------------------------- Withdrawal. In the event that an Employer withdraws from the Plan in accordance - ---------- with the provisions of Section 15.2, such Employer will no longer be considered an Employer under the Plan and the following provisions shall be applicable with respect to Participants employed by such Employer: (a) Each Participant will be deemed to have terminated Service with all the Employers under the Plan on the date of such Employer withdrawal. (b) No period of such Participant's Service after such date will be included for purposes of calculating his Years of Service under Section 3.2 and 7.6 of the Plan. (c) Such Participant's Accounts, after all adjustments required under the Plan have been made, will be distributed in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.2 to the Participant unless such withdrawn Employer has established a plan satisfying the requirements specified below, in which case, the Participant's entire Account balances (including any nonvested amounts) will be transferred to such plan (and related trust agreement). Such amounts will be transferred if such Employer establishes a pension or profit sharing plan which is intended to constitute a "qualified" plan under section 401(a) of the Code and exempt from taxation under section 501 of the Code, and such plan includes the following: (i) Such plan provides that a transferred Participant will be eligible to participate in such plan immediately and shall vest with respect to the unvested portion of his transferred Employer Profit Sharing Contribution Account balance based on his employment with such withdrawn Employer after the withdrawal. (ii) Such plan provides for the receipt of such transferred Participant's Account balances under this Plan and provides for the establishment of separate profit sharing accounts and, if applicable, participant voluntary contribution accounts, employer salary reduction accounts, qualified affiliated accounts and rollover accounts to reflect such transferred amounts. (iii) Such plan provides that such transferred Participant shall at all times have a vested right to receive his Employee Voluntary Contribution Account balance and his Employer Salary Reduction Contribution Account, as adjusted under the terms of such plan, and an amount which is not less than the vested portion of SALARIED PROFIT SHARING AND RETIREMENT PLAN 99 105 his Employer Profit Sharing Contribution Account balance which he is entitled to receive under this Plan, as adjusted under the terms of such plan. 15.4 Adoption Contingent Upon Initial and Continued Qualification. ------------------------------------------------------------ The adoption of the Plan and Trust by a corporation as provided in Section 15.1 is made contingent and subject to the condition precedent that the adopting corporation meets all the statutory requirements for qualified plans under the Code for its employees. The adopting corporation may, or at the request of the Company shall, request an initial letter of determination from the appropriate District Director of the Internal Revenue Service to the effect that the Plan and Trust, as herein set forth or as amended with respect to the adopting corporation, meet the requirements of the applicable federal statutes for tax qualification purposes for such adopting corporation and its employees. In the event the Plan or the Trust in their operation, become disqualified for any reason as to such adopting corporation and its employees, the portion of the Trust Fund allocable to them shall be segregated as soon as is administratively feasible, pending either (1) the prompt requalification of the Plan and Trust as to such corporation and its employees to the satisfaction of the Internal Revenue Service, so as not to affect the continued qualified status of the Plan and Trust as to all other Employees, or (2) as provided in Section 15.2 above, the prompt withdrawal of such corporation from this Plan and Trust and a continuation by itself or its successor of its plan and trust separate and apart from this Plan and Trust, or by merger with another existing qualified plan and trust accompanied by a transfer of its segregated portion of Trust assets, or (3) the prompt termination of the Plan and Trust as to itself and its Employees. 15.5 No Joint Venture Implied. The adoption of the Plan by any ------------------------ Employer shall not create a joint venture or partnership between it and any other Employer.
