     8.2 Applicable Law; Captions. The provisions of this Plan shall be construed and interpreted according to the laws of the State of California, to the extent not preempted by federal law.

     8.3 Plan Binding on All Parties; Liability for Benefits. This Plan shall be binding upon the heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns of all present and future parties. An Employer other than the Company shall have no liability to a Participant or a Participant’s Beneficiary for payment of any benefits under the Plan.
     8.4 Not Contract of Employment. The adoption and maintenance of the Plan shall not confer on any Participant any right to continue in the employ of an Employer, and shall not interfere with the right of an Employer to discharge any person without regard to the effect that such discharge might have on the person as a Participant. This Plan shall only create a contractual obligation on the part of the Company, and shall not be construed as creating a trust or any fiduciary relationship.
     8.5 Notices. Except as otherwise required or permitted under other provisions of this Plan or under applicable law, any notice under this Plan shall be in writing and shall be effective when actually delivered or, if mailed, when deposited postpaid as first-class mail. Notices to the Company, Employer, or the Plan Administrator shall be directed to:
Corporate Benefits Office
Con-way Inc.
1717 NW 21st
Portland, OR 97209
PO Box 3680
Portland, OR 97208
     8.6 Benefits Not Assignable. Neither a Participant nor any other person shall have the right to commute, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, anticipate, mortgage or otherwise encumber, transfer, hypothecate or convey in advance of actual receipt the amounts, if any, payable hereunder, or any part thereof, which are, and all rights to which are expressly declared to be unassignable and non-transferable. No part of the amounts payable shall, prior to actual payment, be subject to seizure or sequestration for the payment of any debts, judgments, alimony or separate maintenance owed by a Participant or any other person, nor be transferable by operation of law in the event of a Participant’s or any other person’s bankruptcy or insolvency. The interest in the benefits hereunder of a Spouse of a Participant who has predeceased the Participant shall automatically pass to the Participant and shall not be transferable by such Spouse in any manner, including but not limited to such Spouse’s will, nor shall such interest pass under the laws of intestate succession. Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this section, the Plan Administrator will recognize the provisions of a qualified domestic relations order as defined in ERISA Section 206(d) that does not change the timing of the Participant’s benefit payments.
     8.7 Savings Clause. The Company intends the Plan to meet the requirements of Section 409A. Any Plan provision that does not meet such requirements shall be reformed so as to satisfy such requirements if such reformation may be accomplished without substantially adversely affecting a Participant’s benefits, and if in the good faith determination of the Plan Administrator such result cannot be achieved, shall be treated as void. Moreover, for purposes of applying the provisions of Section 409A to this Plan, each separately identified amount to which Participant is entitled under this Plan shall be treated as a separate payment. In addition, to the

11


 

extent permissible under Section 409A, any series of installment payments under this Plan shall be treated as a right to a series of separate payments.
     8.8 Payment of Withholding. As a condition of receiving benefits under the Plan, the Participant shall pay the Company and/or the applicable Employer not less than the amount of all applicable federal, state, local and foreign taxes required by law to be paid or withheld relating to the receipt or entitlement to benefits hereunder. The Company may withhold taxes from any benefits paid in its sole determination.
     8.9 Incompetent. If the Plan Administrator determines in its discretion that a benefit under this Plan is to be paid to a minor, a person declared incompetent or to a person incapable of handling the disposition of that person’s property, the Plan Administrator may direct payment of such benefit to the guardian, legal representative or person having the care and custody of such minor, incompetent or incapable person. The Plan Administrator may require proof of minority, incompetency, incapacity or guardianship, as it may deem appropriate and/or such indemnification of the Plan Administrator, the Company and the Participant’s Employer and security, as it deems appropriate, in its sole discretion, prior to distribution of the benefit. Any payment of a benefit shall be a payment for the account of the Participant or the Participant’s Beneficiary, as the case may be, and shall be a complete discharge of any liability under the Plan for such payment amount.
     8.10 Legal Fees To Enforce Rights. If any Employer has failed to comply with any of its obligations under the Plan or any agreement thereunder or, if any Employer or any other person takes any action to declare the Plan void or unenforceable or institutes any litigation or other legal action designed to deny, diminish or to recover from any Participant the benefits intended to be provided, then the Company irrevocably authorizes such Participant to retain counsel chosen by the Participant and agrees to pay the reasonable legal fees and expenses of the Participant incurred in connection with the initiation or defense of any litigation or other legal action, whether by or against the Company, any other Employer, or any director, officer, shareholder or other person affiliated with the Company, or any successor thereto in any jurisdiction, provided that such Participant prevails in such action.
     8.11 Coordination with Other Benefits. The benefits provided for a Participant and the Participant’s Beneficiary under the Plan are in addition to any other benefits available to such Participant under any other plan or program for employees of the Company and its Affiliates. In no event shall distributions under the Plan have the effect of increasing payments otherwise due under the various retirement plans of the Company or its Affiliates.
     8.12 Effect of Payment. The full payment of the applicable benefit under Articles 5 or 6 of the Plan shall completely discharge all obligations to a Participant or Beneficiary under this Plan.

The Company may, at any time, amend or modify the Plan in whole or in part, provided, however, that no amendment or modification shall deprive a Participant or a Beneficiary of a material right accrued hereunder prior to the date of the amendment or materially and adversely affect the payment of benefits to any Participant or Beneficiary who has become entitled to the payment of benefits under the Plan as of the date of the amendment or modification unless the Participant or Beneficiary so affected consents in writing to the amendment or modification. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may amend the Plan retroactively to the extent the Company is of the opinion that such an amendment is required to avoid the imposition of additional tax liabilities on a Participant under Section 409A or to conform the Plan to the provisions and requirements of any applicable law, provided that no such amendment may reduce any Participant’s Account Balance. No such amendment shall be considered prejudicial to any interest of a Participant or Beneficiary hereunder. Finally, while the ability to amend the Plan generally rests with the Company, acting through its Board, the provisions set forth in the Administrative Appendix or the Compliance Appendix may be amended either by the Company or the Plan Administrator.
     9.2 Termination. The Company reserves the right to terminate the Plan at any time. Upon termination of the Plan, the Company may elect to accelerate distribution of Participant accounts, but only if the accelerated distribution would not result in additional tax to the Participants under Section 409A.
     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has amended and restated this Plan effective as of January 1, 2009.

SUPPLEMENTAL RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN
AMENDED AND RESTATED DECEMBER 2008
Claims Procedure
Claims for benefits shall be administered in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Administrative Appendix and any additional written procedures that may be adopted from time to time by the Plan Administrator. The Plan Administrator may designate one or more members of the Committee or one or more persons in the Company’s corporate benefits department to act on behalf of the full Committee to review and decide claims.
     A. Submission of Claim
A claim for benefit payment under this Plan shall be considered filed when a written request is submitted to the Plan Administrator. The Plan Administrator shall respond to a claim in writing or electronically. An authorized representative may act on behalf of a Participant or Beneficiary (hereinafter “Claimant”) who claims benefits.
     B. Notice of Denial
Any time a claim for benefits is wholly or partially denied, the Claimant shall be given written or electronic notice of such action within ninety (90) days after the claim is filed, unless special circumstances require an extension of time for processing. If there is an extension, the Claimant shall be notified of the extension and the reason for the extension within the initial 90-day period. The extension shall not exceed 180 days after the claim is filed.
Such notice will indicate i) the reason for denial, ii) the specific provisions of the Plan on which the denial is based, iii) an explanation of the claims appeal procedure including the time limits applicable to the procedure and a statement of the Claimant’s right to bring a civil action under section 502(a) of ERISA and iv) a description of any additional material or information necessary to perfect the claim and an explanation of why such material or information is necessary.
     C. Right to Request Review
Any person who has had a claim for benefits denied by the Plan Administrator, who disputes the benefit determination, or is otherwise adversely affected by action of the Plan Administrator, shall have the right to request review by the Plan Administrator. The Plan Administrator or its delegate shall provide a full and fair review that takes into account all comments, documents, records, and other information submitted relating to the claim, without regard to whether the information was previously submitted or considered in the initial benefit determination. Such

14


 

request must be in writing, and must be made within sixty (60) days after such person receives notice of the denial. If written request for review is not made within such 60-day period, the Claimant shall forfeit his or her right to review. The Claimant shall be provided, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records and other information relevant to the claim for benefits. The Claimant may submit written comments, documents, records and other information relating to the claim.
     D. Review of Claim
The Plan Administrator or its delegate shall then review the claim. The Plan Administrator or its delegate may hold a hearing if it is deemed necessary and shall issue a written decision reaffirming, modifying or setting aside the initial determination by the Plan Administrator within a reasonable time and not later than sixty (60) days after receipt of the written request for review, or 120 days if special circumstances, such as a hearing, require an extension. If an extension is required, the Claimant shall be notified in writing or electronically within the initial 60-day period of the extension, the special circumstances requiring the extension, and the date by which the Plan expects to render a determination.
A copy of the decision shall be furnished to the Claimant. The decision shall set forth the specific reasons for the decision and specific Plan provisions on which it is based, a statement that the Claimant is entitled to receive, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records and other information relevant to the claim, and a statement of the Claimant’s right to bring a civil action under section 502(a) of ERISA. The decision shall be final and binding upon the Claimant and all other persons involved.

COMPLIANCE APPENDIX TO
CON-WAY INC.
SUPPLEMENTAL RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN
AMENDED AND RESTATED DECEMBER 2008
This Compliance Appendix to the Con-way Inc. Supplemental Retirement Savings Plan (the “Plan”) documents the transition rules used for administration of the Plan implemented as a good faith effort to comply with Section 409A prior to the final effective date of the final regulations issued under Code Section 409A.
Generally, these transition rules were applicable to Plan benefits accrued or vested on or after January 1, 2007. In 2008, the Plan was twice restated to comply with the final regulations under Section 409A.
During 2007, the Plan relied on the following transition rules under Notice 2007-86:
Elections as to the time and form of payment of a Participant’s Account Balance under the Plan are based on Participant’s election under the Con-Way Inc. 2005 Deferred Compensation Plan for Executives and Key Employees (the “Deferred Compensation Plan”).
In 2007, the third party administrator’s web site for the Plan gave incorrect distribution options for the Deferred Compensation Plan. During a special election period in 2007, Participants were told that they had to modify their Deferred Compensation Plan distribution elections so that they had a single time and form of payment for all 2007 deferrals (regardless of the source of the compensation). These new elections also applied to this Plan. These new payment elections did not allow amounts deferred to a later year to be paid in 2007, nor did they allow amounts payable in 2007 to be deferred to a later year. Accordingly, the payment elections complied with Section 3.01(B)(1)(.02) of Notice 2007-86.
