(a)General Rule. Each Eligible Individual may defer Compensation for a Plan Year by filing with the Administrator a Deferral Election Form for such Plan Year that conforms to the requirements of this Section 3.1, no later than the last day of the applicable Election Period for such Plan Year. The Committee may permit an Eligible Individual who first becomes eligible to participate in the Plan during a Plan Year to have his first Election Period during such Plan Year. An election to defer Compensation for a Plan Year must be filed during the Election Period prior to the effective date of such election and shall be effective only for Compensation that constitutes compensation for services performed during periods during the Plan Year beginning after the effective date of such election. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, if an Eligible Individual’s Bonus (or portion thereof) is a performance-based compensation based on services performed over a period of at least twelve (12) months, within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(4)(B)(iii) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, the Committee may permit such Eligible Individual to file an election to defer such Bonus (or such portion thereof), or change such Eligible Individual’s prior election to defer such Bonus (or such portion thereof), no later than six months before the end of the period over which such services are to be performed, under the terms and conditions specified by the Committee, in accordance with Section 409A(a)(4)(B)(iii) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. A Participant shall make a separate election to defer Compensation for each Plan Year.

(b)Special Rules. Notwithstanding the above, the following restrictions apply to deferrals of Restricted Stock Units.

(1)    Restricted Stock Units. A Participant may elect to defer Restricted Stock Units (or a portion thereof), to the extent permitted by the Committee. In order to defer Restricted Stock Units (or a portion thereof), an eligible Participant must file the appropriate Deferral Election Form no later than the election date required under Section 409A of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. A Participant’s election to defer Restricted Stock Units shall be effective only for the Restricted Stock Units (or a portion thereof) that constitute compensation for services performed during periods during the Plan Year (or a subsequent Plan Year) after the effective date of the Participant’s deferral election, or as otherwise permitted under Section 409A of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.

(2)    Limitation on Deferrals. A Participant may elect to defer Restricted Stock Units or any portion thereof, only to the extent such deferral satisfies the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.

(c)Deferral Amounts.

(1)    The amount of Compensation which a Participant may elect to defer for a Plan Year is such Compensation earned on or after the time at which the Participant elects to defer each Plan Year in accordance with Section 3.1(a), and which is earned during such Plan Year. The applicable limitations for any Participant shall be determined by the Committee, determined as of the first day of the Election Period for such Plan Year.

(2)    Each Participant shall be permitted to defer, in any whole percentage: (A) from 5% to 50% of Base Salary, (B) from 5% to 100% of his Bonus and (C) from 5% to 100% of his Restricted Stock Units, subject to Section 3.1(b), rounded down to the nearest whole share.

(c)    Notwithstanding the limitations established above, the total amount deferred by a Participant shall be limited in any calendar year, if necessary, to satisfy the Participant’s income and employment tax withholding obligations (including Social Security, unemployment and Medicare), and the Participant’s employee benefit plan contribution requirements, determined on the first day of the Election Period for such Plan Year, as determined by the Committee.

(d)Duration of Deferral Election.

(1)    A Participant shall not modify or suspend his election to defer Compensation during a Plan Year.

(2)    A Participant must file a new deferral election for each subsequent Plan Year. In the event a Participant fails to file a timely deferral election for the next Plan Year, he shall be deemed to have elected not to defer any Compensation for such Plan Year.

(e)Elections. Subject to the limitations of subsection (b), any Eligible Individual who does not elect to defer Compensation during his Election Period for a Plan Year may subsequently become a Participant.

3.2Distribution Elections.

(a)    General Rule. Each Participant shall make separate distribution elections with respect to each Plan Year for which such Participant elects to defer Compensation in accordance with Section 3.1. A Participant’s distribution elections with respect to a Plan Year shall apply to: (1) the Subaccounts in his Deferral Account to which shall be credited the amount equal to the portion of his Compensation earned during such Plan Year that he elects to defer pursuant to Section 3.1; and (2) the Subaccounts in his Company Account to which shall be credited the amount equal to the Company Contribution for such Plan Year, if any. A Participant may make separate distribution elections with respect to the deferral of his or her Base Salary and the deferral of his or her Bonus for the applicable Plan Year. A Participant’s distribution election with respect to a Plan Year shall elect the Payment Date and the form of distribution of his Distributable Amount credited to the applicable Subaccount with respect to such Plan Year for purposes of distributions under subsection 7.1(a) in the event of such Participant’s Separation from Service or Disability. Such Payment Date and distribution form elections shall be made on such Participant’s Deferral Election Form during the Election Period for which such Participant elects to defer Compensation under Section 3.1 for such Plan Year, and such Payment Date and distribution form elections with respect to such Plan Year shall be irrevocable, except as provided in subsection (b). A Participant may elect any Payment Date described in Section 1.2(dd), and may elect distribution in the normal form, as described in paragraph 7.1(a)(1), or an optional form described in subparagraphs 7.1(a)(2)(A), (B) or (C). In the event a Participant fails to elect a Payment Date for the Distributable Amount credited to a Subaccount with respect to a Plan Year, his Payment Date for such Distributable Amount shall be the date described in Section 1.2(dd)(1). In the event a Participant fails to make a distribution form election for the Distributable Amount credited to a Subaccount with respect to a Plan Year, such Distributable Amount shall be distributed in the normal form, as described in paragraph 7.1(a)(1) in the event of his Separation from Service or Disability, except as provided in subsection (b). Except as provided in subsection (b), a Participant’s distribution for the Distributable Amount credited to a Subaccount with respect to a Plan Year shall be made or commence as soon as administratively practicable after the applicable Payment Date.

(b)    Changes to Distribution Form Election. Subject to subsection (e), a Participant may change his distribution form election for the Distributable Amount credited to a Subaccount with respect to a Plan Year in accordance with this subsection (b) as follows:

    (1)    Change from Lump Sum. If such Participant elected to receive the distribution of such Subaccount with respect to a Plan Year in the event of his Separation from Service or Disability in the normal form, as described in paragraph 7.1(a)(1) ( i.e., a lump sum), such Participant may change such distribution form election by making a new distribution form election for such Subaccount providing for distribution in one of the following forms, with such distribution made or commencing on the fifth anniversary of his initially elected Payment Date:

        (A)    a lump sum, or

        (B)    annual installments (calculated as set forth at Section 7.1(a)(6)) over a period of from two (2) up to fifteen (15) years.

    

(2)    Change from Installments. If such Participant elected to receive the distribution of the Distributable Amount credited to a Subaccount with respect to a Plan Year in the event of his Separation from Service or Disability in an optional form, as provided in subparagraph 7.1(a)(2) (i.e., annual installments over a period of years), such Participant may change such distribution form election by making a new distribution form election for such Subaccount providing for distribution in one of the following forms, with such distribution commencing on the fifth anniversary of his initially elected Payment Date:

        (i)    a lump sum, provided that no installments have commenced with respect to such Plan Year,

        (ii)    annual installments (calculated as set forth at Section 7.1(a)(6)) over the period of years specified in such Participant’s initial distribution form election, provided that no installments have commenced with respect to such Plan Year, or

        (iii)    annual installments (calculated as set forth at Section 7.1(a)(6)) over a period of from two (2) up to fifteen (15) years, provided that such period exceeds the period of years specified in such Participant’s initial distribution form election, and provided, further, that no installments have commenced with respect to such Plan Year.

    (3)    A Participant may make only one change to his distribution form election with respect to a Plan Year under this subsection (b).

(c)    Election of Scheduled In-Service Withdrawal Date. A Participant may elect a Scheduled In-Service Withdrawal Date with respect to his deferrals of Compensation (including any investment earnings on such amounts) plus any Company Contributions to the extent vested, if any, (the “Withdrawal Amount”) with respect to a Plan Year. Such election of a Scheduled In-Service Withdrawal Date for such Participant’s Withdrawal Amount with respect to a Plan Year shall be made by such Participant during the Election Period for which such Participant elects to defer Compensation under Section 3.1 for such Plan Year, and such election of a Scheduled In-Service Withdrawal Date shall be irrevocable, except as provided in subsection (d). A Participant may make separate Scheduled In-Service Withdrawal Date elections for his deferrals of Base Salary and Bonus (including any investment earnings on such amounts) with respect to each Plan Year. A Participant’s Withdrawal Amount with respect to a Plan Year shall be credited to the applicable Subaccount(s) under such Participant’s Accounts for such Plan Year. A Participant shall not be required to elect a Scheduled In-Service Withdrawal Date with respect to his deferrals of Compensation for a Plan Year and, if a Participant fails to make an election of a Scheduled In-Service Withdrawal Date for a Plan Year, no Scheduled In-Service Withdrawal Date shall apply with respect to his deferrals of Compensation for such Plan Year.

(d)    Change of Scheduled In-Service Withdrawal Date. Subject to subsection (e), if a Participant elected a Scheduled In-Service Withdrawal Date with respect to his deferrals of Compensation (including any investment earnings on such amounts) with respect to a Plan Year, such Participant may change such Scheduled In-Service Withdrawal Date for the Withdrawal Amount with respect to such Plan Year by electing a new Scheduled In-Service Withdrawal Date for the Withdrawal Amount with respect to such Plan Year that is not less than five years later than the Scheduled In-Service Withdrawal Date previously elected by such Participant for such Plan Year. A Participant who has not elected a Scheduled In-Service Withdrawal Date for his deferrals of Compensation (including any investment earnings on such amounts) for a Plan Year may not subsequently elect a Scheduled In-Service Withdrawal Date for his deferrals of Compensation (including any investment earnings on such amounts) for such Plan Year. A Participant may make only one change to the Scheduled In-Service Withdrawal Date with respect to each Plan Year under this subsection (d).

(e)    Limitation on Distribution Changes. A Participant’s election to change his distribution form election with respect to a Plan Year under subsection (b), or change of a Scheduled In-Service Withdrawal Date with respect to a Plan Year under subsection (d), shall be subject to the following limitations:

    (1)    The Participant’s election to change his distribution election form with respect to a Plan Year, or change his Scheduled In-Service Withdrawal Date with respect to a Plan Year, shall not take effect until at least twelve (12) months after his election to change the distribution form election, or Scheduled In-Service Withdrawal Date, is made. If the distribution of such Participant’s Distributable Amount with respect to a Plan Year (in the case of a change in his distribution election form), or the distribution of the Withdrawal Amount with respect to such Plan Year (in the case of a change in his Scheduled In-Service Withdrawal Date), is made or commenced before the election to change his distribution form election or Scheduled In-Service Withdrawal Date, as the case may be, becomes effective, the election to change his distribution form election or Scheduled In-Service Withdrawal Date shall not thereafter become effective, and distributions shall be made in accordance with the distribution form election, and Scheduled In-Service Withdrawal Date (if any), as applicable, in effect prior to the Participant’s election to change.

    (2)    The Participant’s election to change his distribution election form with respect to a Plan Year, or change his Scheduled In-Service Withdrawal Date with respect to a Plan Year, shall provide that each payment with respect to such new distribution form election, or new Scheduled In-Service Withdrawal Date, shall be deferred for a period of not less than five years from the date such payment would otherwise have been made.

    (3)    The Participant’s election to change his Scheduled In-Service Withdrawal Date with respect to a Plan Year shall not be made less than twelve (12) months prior to the date of the first scheduled payment under the Participant’s initial election of the Scheduled In-Service Withdrawal Date with respect to such Plan Year.

The limitations under this subsection (e) shall be applied in accordance with Section 409A(a)(4)(C) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.

3.3Company Contributions

(a)For any Plan Year, the Company may, but is under no obligation to, make contributions on behalf of a Participant in addition to the Participant’s elective deferrals.

(b)The Company Contribution for a Plan Year shall be credited to a Participant’s Company Account in the manner determined by the Committee.

(b)No Actual Investment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan that may be interpreted to the contrary, the Measurement Funds are to be used for measurement purposes only, and a Participant’s election of any such Measurement Fund, the allocation to his Accounts thereto, the calculation of additional amounts and the crediting or debiting of such amounts to a Participant’s Accounts shall not be considered or construed in any manner as an actual investment of his Accounts in any such Measurement Fund. In the event that the Company, in its own discretion, decides to invest funds in any or all of the Measurement Funds, no Participant shall have any rights in or to such investments themselves. Without limiting the foregoing, a Participant’s Accounts shall at all times be a bookkeeping entry only and shall not represent any investment made on his behalf by the Company. The Participant shall at all times remain an unsecured creditor of the Company.

A Participant’s Accounts shall be credited or debited on each Valuation Date based on the performance of each Measurement Fund selected by the Participant, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, as though (i) a Participant’s Accounts were invested in the Measurement Fund(s) selected by the Participant, in the percentages applicable to such period, as of the close of business on the first business day of such period, at the closing price on such date; (ii) the portion of the Participant's Compensation that was actually deferred pursuant to Section 3.1 during any period were invested in the Measurement Fund(s) selected by the Participant, in the percentages applicable to such period, no later than the close of business on the first business day after the day on which such amounts are actually deferred from the Participant’s Compensation, at the closing price on such date; and (iii) any withdrawal or distribution made to a Participant that decreases such Participant’s Accounts ceased being invested in the Measurement Fund(s), in the percentages applicable to such period, no earlier than one business day prior to the distribution, at the closing price on such date. The Participant’s Company Contributions, if any, shall be credited to his Company Account for purposes of this Section, in the manner determined by the Committee.

5.2Subaccounts.

(a)The Committee shall establish and maintain, with respect to a Participant’s Deferral Account, separate Subaccounts with respect to each Plan Year, to which shall be credited (i) an amount equal to the portion of the Participant’s Base Salary earned during such Plan Year that he elects to defer pursuant to Section 3.1 and (ii) an amount equal to the portion of the Participant’s Bonus earned during such Plan Year that he or she elects to defer pursuant to Section 3.1, in each case debited by amounts equal to distributions to and withdrawals made by the Participant and/or his Beneficiary and adjusted for investment earnings and losses pursuant to Article V.

(b)The Committee shall establish and maintain, with respect to a Participant’s Company Account, a Subaccount with respect to each Plan Year, to which shall be credited the amount equal to the Company Contributions, if any, made pursuant to Section 3.3 on behalf of such Participant during such Plan Year, debited by amounts equal to distributions to and withdrawals made by the Participant and/or his Beneficiary and adjusted for investment earnings and losses pursuant to Article V.

Each Participant shall be 100% vested in his Deferral Account at all times, provided, however, that any Restricted Stock Units a Participant elects to defer shall remain subject to the conditions for vesting specified in any applicable award notice or agreement. The Company will set conditions for the vesting of any Company Contributions on or before the date they are contributed to the Plan.

7.1Distribution of Accounts.

(a)Distribution of Accounts.

(1)    Normal Form. Except as provided in paragraph (2), paragraph (3) or Section 7.3, a Participant’s Distributable Amount with respect to each Plan Year shall be paid to the Participant in a single lump sum in cash on the Participant’s Payment Date.

(2)    Optional Forms. Instead of receiving his Distributable Amount with respect to each Plan Year as described at Section 7.1(a)(1), the Participant may elect in accordance with Section 3.2 an optional form of payment (on the form provided by Company) at the time of his deferral election for such Plan Year to receive his Distributable Amount in equal annual installments in cash (calculated as set forth in Section 7.1(a)(6)) over a period of from two (2) up to fifteen (15) years beginning on the Participant’s Payment Date. The payment of such Participant’s Distributable Amount with respect each Plan Year shall be made or commence on such Participant’s Payment Date.

(3)    Distribution Election Changes. In the event that a Participant changes his distribution form election with respect to a Plan Year in accordance with Section 3.2(b), and such new distribution form election becomes effective upon the Separation from Service or Disability of such Participant, the Distributable Amount with respect to such Plan Year shall be paid to the Participant in accordance with such new distribution form election.

(4)    Small Accounts. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, in the event the total of a Participant’s Distributable Amounts with respect to all Plan Years is equal to or less than $50,000 on the Participant’s Payment Date, such Distributable Amounts shall be distributed to the Participant (or his Beneficiary, as applicable) in a lump sum.

(5)    Investment Adjustments. The Participant’s Accounts shall continue to be adjusted for investment earnings and losses pursuant to Section 4.2 and Section 4.3 of the Plan until all amounts credited to his Accounts under the Plan have been distributed.

(6)    Calculating Installments. All installment payments made under the Plan shall be determined in accordance with the annual fractional payment method, calculated as follows: the balance of the applicable Subaccount in the Participant’s Accounts with respect to a Plan Year shall be calculated as of the close of business on the last business day of the year. The annual installment shall be calculated by multiplying this balance by a fraction, the numerator of which is one, and the denominator of which is the remaining number of annual payments due the Participant. By way of example, if the Participant elects 10 year installments for the distribution of the applicable Subaccount in his Accounts with respect to a Plan Year, the first payment shall be 1/10 of the balance of such Subaccount calculated as described in this definition. The following year, the payment shall be 1/9 of such Subaccount, calculated as described in this definition. Each annual installment shall be paid on or as soon as practicable after the last business day of the applicable year.

(b)Distribution on a Scheduled In-Service Withdrawal Date.

        (1)    In the case of a Participant who has elected a Scheduled In-Service Withdrawal Date for a distribution to be made while still in the employ of the Company, such Participant shall receive his Withdrawal Amount as shall have been elected by the Participant to be subject to the Scheduled In-Service Withdrawal Date. A Participant’s Scheduled In-Service Withdrawal Date with respect to amounts of Compensation deferred in a given Plan Year must be at least one year from the last day of the Plan Year for which such deferrals are made.

        (2)    The Participant may elect, in accordance with Section 3.2, to have the Withdrawal Amount paid in a lump sum in cash or in equal annual installments in cash (calculated as set forth in Section 7.1(a)(6)) over a period of from two (2) up to fifteen (15) years beginning on the Participant’s Payment Date.

        (3)    A Participant may elect to change the Scheduled In-Service Withdrawal Date for the Withdrawal Amount for any Plan Year in accordance with Section 3.2(d).

        (4)    In the event of Participant’s Separation from Service or Disability prior to a Scheduled In-Service Withdrawal Date, the Participant’s entire Withdrawal Amount shall be paid in accordance with the Participant’s election with respect to such Plan Year under Section 7.1(a).

(c)Distribution upon Death. In the event a Participant dies, any remaining balance in his Accounts shall be paid to his Beneficiary in a lump sum in cash on the first business day of the seventh calendar month following the date of the Participant’s death.

7.2Hardship Distribution.

A Participant shall be permitted to elect a Hardship Distribution of all or a portion of his Accounts under the Plan prior to the Payment Date, subject to the following restrictions:

(a)The election to take a Hardship Distribution shall be made by filing the form provided by the Committee before the date established by the Committee.

(b)The Committee shall have made a determination that the requested distribution constitutes a Hardship Distribution in accordance with subsection (d).

(c)The amount determined by the Committee as a Hardship Distribution shall be paid in a single lump sum in cash as soon as practicable after the end of the calendar month in which the Hardship Distribution election is made and approved by the Committee. The Hardship Distribution shall be distributed proportionately from the Subaccounts in the Participant’s Accounts.

(d)If a Participant receives a Hardship Distribution, the Participant shall be ineligible to contribute deferrals to the Plan for the following Plan Year. “Hardship Distribution” shall mean a severe financial hardship to the Participant resulting from (i) an illness or accident of the Participant, the Participant’s spouse or of his dependent (as defined in Section 152(a) of the Code), (ii) loss of a Participant’s property due to casualty, or (iii) other similar extraordinary and unforeseeable circumstances arising as a result of events beyond the control of the Participant, as determined by the Committee in accordance with Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(ii)(I) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. The amount of the Hardship Distribution with respect to a severe financial hardship shall not exceed the amounts necessary to satisfy such hardship, plus amounts necessary to pay taxes reasonably anticipated as a result of the distribution, after taking into account the extent to which such hardship is or may be relieved through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise or by liquidation of the Participant’s assets (to the extent the liquidation of such assets would not itself cause severe financial hardship), as determined by the Committee in accordance with Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(ii)(II) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.

7.3Effect of a Change in Control.

(a)In the event there is a Change in Control, the person who is the chief executive officer (or, if not so identified, the Company’s highest ranking officer) shall name a third-party fiduciary as the sole member of the Committee immediately prior to such Change in Control. The appointed fiduciary, shall oversee the administration of the Plan and provide for the distributions of the accounts under the Plan in accordance with the terms of the Plan and the elections of the Participants.

(b)Upon and after the occurrence of a Change in Control, the Company must (i) pay all reasonable administrative fees and expenses of the appointed fiduciary, (ii) indemnify the appointed fiduciary against any costs, expenses and liabilities including, without limitation, attorney’s fees and expenses arising in connection with the appointed fiduciary's duties hereunder, other than with respect to matters resulting from the gross negligence of the appointed fiduciary or its agents or employees and (iii) timely provide the appointed fiduciary with all necessary information related to the Plan, the Participants and Beneficiaries.

(c)Notwithstanding Section 9.4, in the event there is a Change in Control no amendment may be made to this Plan except as approved by the third-party fiduciary. Upon a Change in Control, the Company shall establish an irrevocable trust and contribute assets to such trust in an amount equal to the aggregate amount credited to the Participants’ Accounts, as determined by the appointed fiduciary, plus any deferred payments as they are deferred by the Participants. Such trust shall conform to the model “rabbi trust” agreement provided by the Internal Revenue Service in Revenue Procedure 92-64, as revised from time to time, and shall be structured as an unfunded arrangement.

7.4Inability to Locate Participant.

In the event that the Committee is unable to locate a Participant or Beneficiary within two years following the required Payment Date, the amount allocated to the Participant’s Accounts shall be forfeited. If, after such forfeiture, the Participant or Beneficiary later claims such benefit, such benefit shall be reinstated without interest or earnings from the date of forfeiture, subject to applicable escheat laws.

7.5     Prohibition on Acceleration of Distributions.

The time or schedule of payment of any withdrawal or distribution under the Plan shall not be subject to acceleration, except as provided under Treasury Regulations promulgated in accordance with Section 409A(a)(3) of the Code.

This indemnity shall not preclude such further indemnities as may be available under insurance purchased by the Company or provided by the Company under any bylaw, agreement or otherwise, as such indemnities are permitted under state law.

8.9Quarterly Statements.

Under procedures established by the Committee, a Participant shall receive a statement with respect to such Participant’s Accounts on a quarterly basis as of each March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31.

8.10Disputes.

(a)Claim.

A person who believes that he is being denied a benefit to which he is entitled under this Plan (a “Claimant”) may file a written request for such benefit with the Administrator, setting forth his claim. The request must be addressed to the Administrator at the Company at its then principal place of business.

(b)Claim Decision.

Upon receipt of a claim, the Administrator shall advise the Claimant that a reply shall be forthcoming within 90 days (or in the case of a claim for disability benefits (a “Disability Claim”), 45 days) and shall, in fact, deliver such reply within such applicable period. The Administrator may, however, extend the reply period for an additional 90 days (or in the case of a Disability Claim, 30 days) for special circumstances (or in the case of a Disability Claim, only if such extension is necessary due to matters beyond the Plan’s control). The extension notice must indicate the special circumstances requiring an extension of time and the date by which the claim reviewer expects to render a decision.

If a Disability Claim cannot be processed within the first 30-day extension period due to matters beyond the Plan’s control, the Plan’s deadline for responding to the claim may be extended for up to an additional 30 days, provided that the Claimant is so advised in writing or by electronic means within the first extension period. In addition to indicating the special circumstances requiring an extension of time and the date by which the claim reviewer expects to render a decision, each extension notice for a Disability Claim also must specifically explain the standards on which the entitlement to a benefit is based, the unresolved issues that prevent a decision on the claim, and the additional information needed to resolve those issues. The Claimant must be afforded at least 45 days to provide the specified information.

If the claim is denied in whole or in part, the Administrator shall inform the Claimant in writing, using language calculated to be understood by the Claimant, setting forth: (i) the specified reason or reasons for such denial; (ii) the specific reference to pertinent provisions of this Plan on which such denial is based; (iii) a description of any additional material or information necessary for the Claimant to perfect his claim and an explanation of why such material or such information is necessary; (iv) appropriate information as to the steps to be taken if the Claimant wishes to submit the claim for review; and (v) the time limits for requesting a review under subsection (c).

In the case of a Disability Claim denial, the denial notice must be provided in a culturally and linguistically appropriate manner (to the extent required by the regulations under Section 503 of ERISA) and, in addition to the information required by the preceding paragraph, must include: (A) a discussion of the decision, including an explanation of the basis for disagreeing with or not following (1) the views of health care professionals treating the Claimant and vocational professionals who evaluated the Claimant, in each case as presented by the Claimant to the Plan; (2) the views of medical or vocational experts whose advice was obtained on behalf of the Plan in connection with the denial, without regard to whether the advice was relied upon in making the benefit determination; and (3) a Social Security disability determination presented by the Claimant to the Plan; (B) if the denial is based on medical necessity, experimental treatment, or a similar exclusion or limit, an explanation of the scientific or clinical judgment for the determination, applying the terms of the Plan to the Claimant’s medical circumstances, or a statement that such an explanation will be provided upon request and free of charge; (C) any specific internal rules, guidelines, protocols, standards, or other similar criteria of the Plan relied upon in the denial (or if none, a statement to that effect); and (D) a statement that, upon request and free of charge, the Claimant is entitled to reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records, and other information relevant to the claim.

(c)Request for Review.

Within 60 days (or in the case of a Disability Claim, 180 days) after the receipt by the Claimant of the written decision described above, the Claimant may request in writing a review of the determination of the Administrator. Such review shall be completed by the Committee. Such request must be addressed to the Secretary of the Company, at its then principal place of business. The Claimant or his duly authorized representative may, but need not, review the pertinent documents and submit issues and comments in writing for consideration by the Committee. If the Claimant does not request a review within such 60-day (or in the case of a Disability Claim, 180-day) period, he shall be barred and estopped from challenging the Administrator’s determination.

In the case of a Disability Claim denial, the Claimant (or his authorized representative) also has the right to: (i) receive a review that does not defer to the initial claim denial and that is conducted by someone other than the individual who made the denial and who is not such person’s subordinate; (ii) be given the identity of any medical or vocational experts whose advice was obtained in connection with the benefit determination, regardless of whether the advice was relied upon in making the decision; (iii) receive (in instances when the benefit determination was based in whole or part on medical judgment) a review in which the Committee consults with a health care professional with appropriate training and experience (and which professional did not consult on the initial denial and who is not such person’s subordinate); (iv) automatically be provided as soon as possible and sufficiently in advance of the appeal determination, free of charge, any new or additional evidence considered, relied upon or generated by the Committee or other person making the benefit determination (or at the direction of the Committee or such person) in connection with the claim; and (v) automatically be provided as soon as possible and sufficiently in advance of the appeal determination, free of charge, any new or additional rationale for the appeal determination.

(d)Review of Decision.

Within 60 days (or in the case of a Disability Claim, 45 days) after the receipt of a request for review by the Committee, after considering all materials presented by the Claimant, the Committee shall inform the Claimant in writing, in a manner calculated to be understood by the Claimant, of its decision, setting forth the specific reasons for its decision and specific references to the pertinent provisions of this Plan on which the decision is based. If special circumstances require that the review period be extended, the Committee shall so notify the Claimant and shall render the decision as soon as possible, but no later than 120 days (or in the case of a Disability Claim, 90 days) after receipt of the request for review. The extension notice must indicate the special circumstances requiring an extension of time and the date by which the Committee expects to render a decision.

If the appeal of the claim is wholly or partially denied, the notice of the Committee’s final decision must include specific reasons for the denial, specific references to the pertinent Plan provisions on which the denial is based, and a statement that the Claimant is entitled, upon request and free of charge, to reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records and other information relevant to the claim. The notice must be written in a manner calculated to be understood by the Claimant and must notify the Claimant of his right to bring a civil action under Section 502(a) of ERISA. In the case of a Disability Claim denial, the notice must be provided in a culturally and linguistically appropriate manner (to the extent required by the regulations under Section 503 of ERISA), and in addition to the above, must include (i) a statement of the applicable contractual limitations period, including the calendar date that such period will expire with respect to the claim; and (ii) the information set forth in items (A)-(C) in the final paragraph of Section 8.10(b), regarding claim denials, above.

8.11Compliance with Section 409A of the Code.

The Plan shall be interpreted, construed and administered in a manner that satisfies the requirements of Sections 409A(a)(2), (3) and (4) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.

9.1Unsecured General Creditor.

Participants and their Beneficiaries, heirs, successors, and assigns shall have no legal or equitable rights, claims, or interest in any specific property or assets of the Company. No assets of the Company shall be held in any way as collateral security for the fulfilling of the obligations of the Company under this Plan. Any and all of the Company’s assets shall be, and remain, the general unpledged, unrestricted assets of the Company. The Company’s obligation under the Plan shall be merely that of an unfunded and unsecured promise of the Company to pay money in the future, and the rights of the Participants and Beneficiaries shall be no greater than those of unsecured general creditors. It is the intention of the Company that this Plan be unfunded for purposes of the Code and Title I of ERISA.

9.2Restriction Against Assignment.

(a)The Company shall pay all amounts payable hereunder only to the person or persons designated by the Plan and not to any other person or entity. No right, title or interest in the Plan or in any account may be sold, pledged, assigned or transferred in any manner other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. No right, title or interest in the Plan or in any Account shall be liable for the debts, contracts or engagements of the Participant or his successors in interest or shall be subject to disposition by transfer, alienation, anticipation, pledge, encumbrance, assignment or any other means whether such disposition be voluntary or involuntary or by operation of law by judgment, levy, attachment, garnishment or any other legal or equitable proceedings (including bankruptcy), and any attempted disposition thereof shall be null and void and of no effect, except to the extent that such disposition is permitted by the preceding sentence.

(b)Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (a), a Participant’s interest in his Account may be transferred by the Participant pursuant to a domestic relations order that constitutes a “qualified domestic relations order” as defined by the Code or Title I of ERISA.

9.3Withholding.

There shall be deducted from each payment made under the Plan or any other Compensation payable to the Participant (or Beneficiary) all taxes which are required to be withheld by the Company in respect to such payment or this Plan. The Company shall have the right to reduce any payment (or compensation) by the amount of such of cash sufficient to provide the amount of said taxes.

9.4Amendment, Modification, Suspension or Termination.

(a)    Subject to Section 7.3, the Committee may amend, modify, suspend or terminate the Plan in whole or in part, except that no amendment, modification, suspension or termination shall have any retroactive effect to reduce any vested amounts allocated to a Participant’s Accounts. In the event of Plan termination, distributions shall continue to be made in accordance with the terms of the Plan.

(1)    Any amendment or modification of the Plan to conform the Plan to the requirements of Section 409A of the Code or any regulations or other guidance thereunder (including, without limitation, any amendment or modification of the terms of any applicable to any Participant’s Accounts regarding the timing or form of payment).

(2)    Any cancellation or termination of any unvested interest in a Participant’s Accounts without any payment to the Participant.

(3)    Any cancellation or termination of any vested interest in any Participant’s Accounts, with immediate payment to the Participant of the amount otherwise payable to such Participant.

Any such amendment, modification, cancellation, or termination of the Plan may adversely affect the rights of a Participant without the Participant’s consent.

9.5Designation of Beneficiary.

(a)Each Participant shall have the right to designate, revoke and redesignate Beneficiaries hereunder and to direct payment of his Distributable Amount to such Beneficiaries upon his death.

(b)Designation, revocation and redesignation of Beneficiaries must be made in writing in accordance with the procedures established by the Committee and shall be effective upon delivery to the Committee.

(c)No designation of a Beneficiary other than the Participant’s spouse shall be valid unless consented in writing by such spouse. If there is no Beneficiary designation in effect, or the designated beneficiary does not survive the Participant, then the Participant’s spouse shall be the Beneficiary. If there is no surviving spouse, the duly appointed and currently acting personal representative of the Participant’s estate (which shall include either the Participant’s probate estate or living trust) shall be the Beneficiary.

(d)After the Participant’s death, any Beneficiary (other than the Participant’s estate) who is to receive installment payments may designate a secondary beneficiary to receive amounts due under this Plan to the Beneficiary in the event of the Beneficiary’s death prior to receiving full payment from the Plan. If no secondary beneficiary is designated, it shall be the Beneficiary’s estate.

9.6Governing Law.

Subject to ERISA, this Plan shall be construed, governed and administered in accordance with the laws of the State of California.

9.7Compliance with Code Section 162(m)

It is the intent of the Company that any Compensation which is deferred under the Plan by a person who is, with respect to the year of distribution, deemed by the Committee to be a “covered employee” within the meaning of Code Section 162(m) and regulations thereunder, which Compensation constitutes either “qualified performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Code Section 162(m) and regulations thereunder or compensation not otherwise subject to the limitation on deductibility under Section 162(m) and regulations thereunder, shall not, as a result of deferral hereunder, become compensation with respect to which the Company in fact would not be entitled to a tax deduction under Code Section 162(m). If the Company determines in good faith prior to a Change in Control that there is a reasonable likelihood that any compensation paid to a Participant for a taxable year of the Company would not be deductible by the Company solely by reason of the limitation under Code Section 162(m), then to the extent deemed necessary by the Committee to ensure that the entire amount of any distribution to the Participant pursuant to this Plan prior to the Change in Control is deductible, the Company may defer all or any portion of a distribution under this Plan. Any amounts deferred pursuant to this limitation shall continue to be credited/debited with additional amounts in accordance with Article IV, even if such amount is being paid out in installments. The amounts so deferred and amounts credited thereon shall be distributed to the Participant or his Beneficiary (in the event of the Participant’s death) commencing as soon as reasonably practicable following the Plan Year in which such Participant’s Separation from Service, Disability or Death occurs, or if earlier, the effective date of a Change in Control. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Plan, this Section shall not apply to any distributions made after a Change in Control.

9.8Payments on Behalf of Persons Under Incapacity.

In the event that any amount becomes payable under the Plan to a person who, in the sole judgment of the Committee, is considered by reason of physical or mental condition to be unable to give a valid receipt therefore, the Committee may direct that such payment be made to any person found by the Committee, in its sole judgment, to have assumed the care of such person. Any payment made pursuant to such termination shall constitute a full release and discharge of the Committee and the Company.

9.9Limitation of Rights

Neither the establishment of the Plan nor any modification thereof, nor the creating of any fund or account, nor the payment of any benefits shall be construed as giving to any Participant or other person any legal or equitable right against the Company except as provided in the Plan. In no event shall the terms of employment of, or membership on the Board by, any Participant be modified or in any way be effected by the provisions of the Plan.

9.10Exempt ERISA Plan

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

9.11Notice

Any notice or filing required or permitted to be given to the Committee under the Plan shall be sufficient if in writing and hand delivered, or sent by registered or certified mail, to the principal office of the Company, directed to the attention of the General Counsel and Secretary of the Company. Such notice shall be deemed given as of the date of delivery or, if delivery is made by mail, as of the date shown on the postmark on the receipt for registration or certification.

9.12Errors and Misstatements

In the event of any misstatement or omission of fact by a Participant to the Committee or any clerical error resulting in payment of benefits in an incorrect amount, the Committee shall promptly cause the amount of future payments to be corrected upon discovery of the facts and shall pay or, if applicable, cause the Plan to pay, the Participant or any other person entitled to payment under the Plan any underpayment in a lump sum or to recoup any overpayment from future payments to the Participant or any other person entitled to payment under the Plan in such amounts as the Committee shall direct or to proceed against the Participant or any other person entitled to payment under the Plan for recovery of any such overpayment.

9.13Pronouns and Plurality

The masculine pronoun shall include the feminine pronoun, and the singular the plural where the context so indicates.

9.14Severability

In the event that any provision of the Plan shall be declared unenforceable or invalid for any reason, such unenforceability or invalidity shall not affect the remaining provisions of the Plan but shall be fully severable, and the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if such unenforceable or invalid provision had never been included herein.

9.15Status

The establishment and maintenance of, or allocations and credits to, the Accounts of any Participant shall not vest in any Participant any right, title or interest in and to any Plan assets or benefits except at the time or times and upon the terms and conditions and to the extent expressly set forth in the Plan.

9.16Headings.

Headings and subheadings in this Plan are inserted for convenience of reference only and are not to be considered in the construction of the provisions hereof.
