          (b) Each Employee who was a Participant in this Plan as of December 31, 2007, and is employed by an Employer on January 1, 2008, shall be a Participant as of January 1, 2008.
          (c) Each Employee not described in Section 2.1(b) hereof shall become a Participant as soon as practicable after the earlier of (i) the Employee’s providing Notice to the Plan Administrator pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof to elect to have Before Tax Contributions made on the Employee’s behalf in a specified percentage of Compensation, or (ii) in the case of an Automatic Contribution Employee, the expiration of thirty (30) days from the later of (A) the Employee’s most recent date of hire as an Employee, or (B) the date the notice described in Section 2.1(e) hereof is provided to the Employee, unless the Employee has elected, by Notice to the Plan Administrator, not to have Before Tax Contributions made on his behalf; provided, however, that in no event shall an Employee become a Participant unless he is an Employee as of the date he would otherwise become a Participant.

21


 

          (d) Each Employee who does not become a Participant under Section 2.1(a), (b) or (c) hereof shall become a Participant as of the date on which his Employer makes a Profit Sharing Contribution, if any, on his behalf pursuant to Section 4.2 hereof.
          (e) Within a reasonable period of time before each Plan Year beginning on or after January 1, 2008, the Plan Administrator shall provide each Employee a written notice of the Automatic Contribution Arrangement hereunder, which notice shall include the following information: (i) the Employee’s rights and obligations under the Automatic Contribution Arrangement, (ii) the level of Before Tax Contributions that will be made on the Employee’s behalf if the Employee does not make an affirmative election to make Before Tax Contributions, (iii) the Employee’s right to elect not to have Before Tax Contributions made on the Employee’s behalf (or to elect to have Before Tax Contributions made in a different percentage of Compensation than provided in Sections 2.2(b) and 2.2(c) hereof, (iv) how contributions made by and on the Employee’s behalf under the Automatic Contribution Arrangement will be invested in the absence of an investment election by the Employee, (v) the reasonable period of time after receipt of such notice and before the Employee’s first Before Tax Contribution for such Plan Year under the Automatic Contribution Arrangement during which the Employee may make contribution and investment elections hereunder, and (vi) the Employee’s right to withdraw Before Tax Contributions made under the Automatic Contribution Arrangement pursuant to Section 8.6 hereof, and the procedures to elect such a withdrawal.
          (f) Each Participant shall (i) provide Notice to the Plan Administrator designating a beneficiary who shall receive any benefits payable pursuant to Section 9.1 hereof in the event of the death of the Participant, and (ii) agree to the terms of the Plan. A Participant may designate one or more persons as beneficiary; provided, however, that if more than one (1) person is named, the Participant shall indicate the shares and precedence of each person. A married Participant’s spouse shall be deemed to be his beneficiary regardless of any contrary designation on file or later filed with the Plan Administrator, unless the spouse consents (acknowledging the effect of such consent) to the designation of a beneficiary other than the spouse and such consent is witnessed by a notary public or the Plan Administrator. A Participant may change his beneficiary from time to time by Notice to the Plan Administrator but only with the written consent of his spouse (witnessed by the Plan Administrator or a notary public), if he has a spouse at such

22


 

time. The consent of a previously designated nonspouse beneficiary shall not be required in any case. In the event the Participant fails to effectively designate a beneficiary as to any distribution, such distribution shall be made to such deceased Participant’s spouse (as set forth above) if living, if not, then to such deceased Participant’s estate.
          (g) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.1, in no event shall (i) an Employee be eligible to become a Participant in this Plan to the extent that becoming a Participant would cause any plan maintained or formerly maintained by the Group to fail to satisfy the requirements of Treasury Regulations Section 1.401(k)-1(d), or (ii) any person who is a leased employee (including a Section 414(n) Leased Employee), a consultant or any other person who is not classified by an Employer as an employee (not taking into account any retroactive reclassification of any person as an Employee) be eligible to become a Participant in this Plan.
     2.2 Enrollment as a Contributing Participant.
          (a) An Employee who is a Participant or who is eligible to become a Participant may elect to become a Contributing Participant by providing Notice to the Plan Administrator authorizing the deduction by his Employer of Before Tax Contributions from his Compensation and specifying the Funds in which his Before Tax Contributions and other amounts shall be invested, subject to the terms of Article 7 hereof.
          (b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, an Automatic Contribution Participant shall be deemed to have elected to contribute to the Plan as Before Tax Contributions three percent (3%) of the Employee’s Compensation for the period beginning on the date on which the Participant first becomes an Automatic Contribution Participant and ending on the last day of the Plan Year next following the Plan Year in which the Participant first becomes an Automatic Contribution Participant (the “Initial Contribution Period.). An Automatic Contribution Participant may elect to change or suspend his contribution election at any time in accordance with Article 3 hereof.
          (c) The percentage of Compensation that an Automatic Increase Participant contributes to the Plan as Before Tax Contributions shall be increased by one percent (1%) effective as of the first payroll period beginning on or after January 1 of each Plan Year beginning after the expiration of the Participant’s Initial Contribution Period; provided, however, that no increase with respect to an

23


 

Automatic Increase Participant shall occur pursuant to this Section 2.2(c) if the percentage of Compensation contributed to the Plan by the Automatic Increase Participant as Before Tax Contributions would exceed ten percent (10%). Unless an Automatic Contribution Participant elects otherwise by providing Notice to the Plan Administrator, the Automatic Contribution Participant shall be treated as an Automatic Increase Participant immediately upon becoming an Automatic Contribution Participant. A Participant who is not an Automatic Contribution Participant but who has elected to become an Automatic Increase Participant shall become an Automatic Increase Participant as soon as practicable after the Plan Administrator receives Notice from the Participant of such election. An Automatic Increase Participant may elect to cease to be an Automatic Increase Participant at any time by providing Notice to the Plan Administrator, and such election shall be effective as soon as practicable after the Plan Administrator’s receipt of such Notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the rate of an Automatic Contribution Participant’s Before Tax Contribution on January 1, 2008, shall not be less than the rate in effect as of December 31, 2007, unless the Automatic Contribution Participant elects a lower rate.
          (d) The authorizations, designations and elections made pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof and this Section 2.2 shall be deemed to be continuing as to current and succeeding Plan Years until changed by prior Notice to the Plan Administrator.
          (e) In the case of an Employee who becomes an Employee and a Participant in this Plan on December 28, 2007, and who immediately prior to becoming a Participant was both employed by Temple-Inland Inc. or any member of the “Temple-Inland Group” (within the meaning of the Employee Matters Agreement) and was a participant in the Temple-Inland Savings Plan, such Participant’s (i) affirmative elections under the applicable foregoing plan with respect to (A) making before tax contributions, and (B) the investment of contributions made under the applicable foregoing plan on the Participant’s behalf, and (ii) designation of a beneficiary (or beneficiaries) under the applicable foregoing plan, shall be treated as if made under, and with respect to, this Plan and shall continue in effect under this Plan until changed in accordance with the terms of this Plan.
          (f) In the case of an Employee who becomes a Participant in this Plan and who immediately prior to becoming a Participant was both employed by a member of the Group and was a participant in a Merged Plan, and, if the Plan Administrator so determines, such Participant’s (i) affirmative

24


 

elections under the Merged Plan with respect to (A) making before tax contributions, and (B) the investment of contributions made under the Merged Plan on the Participant’s behalf, and (ii) designation of a beneficiary (or beneficiaries) under the Merged Plan shall be treated as if made under, and with respect to, this Plan and shall continue in effect under this Plan until changed in accordance with the terms of this Plan.
     2.3 No Participation by Non-Covered Employees.
          (a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, an Inactive Participant shall not be eligible to make Before Tax Contributions under Article 3 hereof or be entitled to any Employer Matching Contributions or Profit Sharing Contributions under Article 4 hereof.
          (b) If an Inactive Participant again becomes an Employee, he (i) may elect to resume making Before Tax Contributions by giving prior Notice to the Plan Administrator, and such
          election shall be effective as soon as practicable after the Plan Administrator’s receipt of such election, and (ii) shall be eligible to be allocated Employer Matching Contributions and Profit Sharing Contributions, subject to, and in accordance with, the terms of Article 4 hereof.
          (c) Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, an Employee who has rights under Chapter 43 of Title 38, United States Code, resulting from qualified military service, shall be credited with service and entitled to make Before Tax Contributions to this Plan and to be allocated Employer Matching Contributions and Profit Sharing Contributions to the extent required by applicable law and Section 414(u) of the Code.
ARTICLE 3
PARTICIPANT CONTRIBUTIONS
     3.1 Before Tax Contributions. Each Participant may elect to make Before Tax Contributions to the Plan of any whole percentage of his Compensation for each payroll period. The minimum amount of Before Tax Contributions with respect to each payroll period shall be one percent (1%), and, except as permitted pursuant to Section 3.6(f) hereof, the maximum amount shall be fifty percent (50%).
     3.2 Suspension of Contributions. A Participant may voluntarily suspend his Before Tax Contributions by giving prior Notice to the Plan Administrator, and such suspension shall be effective as soon as practicable after the Plan Administrator’s receipt of such Notice. A Participant may resume

25


 

making Before Tax Contributions by giving prior Notice to the Plan Administrator, and such election shall be effective as soon as practicable after the Plan Administrator’s receipt of such election.
     3.3 Changes in Contribution Elections.
     A Participant may increase or decrease, subject to Section 3.1 hereof, the amount of his Before Tax Contributions by giving prior Notice to the Plan Administrator. Such changes in Before Tax Contributions shall become effective as soon as practicable after receipt of Notice by the Plan Administrator.
     3.4 Payment of Contributions.
          (a) Participants’ Before Tax Contributions shall be transferred to the Trustee under the Plan on the earliest date that such amounts can reasonably be segregated from the Employer’s general assets, but in no event later than the fifteenth (15th) day of the calendar month following the month in which the Before Tax Contributions withheld would otherwise have been paid to the Participant. In no event shall an Employer transfer a Before Tax Contribution to the Trustee on behalf of a Participant prior to the date the Participant performs the services with respect to which the Before Tax Contribution is being made (or the date the Compensation for such services would be currently available, if earlier) unless such pre-funding is to accommodate a bona fide administrative concern and is not for the principal purpose of accelerating deductions for federal income tax purposes.
          (b) Participants’ Before Tax Contributions shall be treated under the Plan, ERISA and the Code as nonforfeitable Employer contributions. Before Tax Contributions shall not be required to be made from the current or accumulated profits of an Employer.
     3.5 No Make-Up of Contributions. Subject to Section 3.6(f) hereof, no Participant who fails to make the maximum amount of Before Tax Contributions permitted under Section 3.1 hereof, or who voluntarily suspends his Before Tax Contributions in accordance with Section 3.2 hereof, shall be permitted to make up such contributions in any subsequent payroll period.
     3.6 Limitations on Before Tax Contributions.
          (a) No Participant shall be permitted to have Before Tax Contributions made to the Plan during any Plan Year to the extent such contributions, plus any elective deferrals under any other tax-qualified plan, exceed the dollar limit imposed under Section 402(g) of the Code, as adjusted in accordance therewith, except to the extent permitted under Section 3.6(f) hereof. A Participant shall promptly notify

26


 

the Plan Administrator if such limitation is exceeded and the amount of such excess, plus gain or loss allocable thereto for the Plan Year, and the period beginning on the day after the close of such Plan Year and ending seven (7) days prior to the date of distribution of excess contributions for such Plan Year (the “Gap Period”), shall be distributed to such Participant within three and one-half (31/2) months after the close of the Plan Year during which such excess contributions were made or as of such later date that is permissible under applicable regulations as may be determined by the Plan Administrator. Except as otherwise determined by the Plan Administrator, the income allocable to a Participant’s excess Before Tax Contributions for a Plan Year, and the Gap Period for such Plan Year, shall be determined by multiplying the total investment income or loss (including dividends, interest, realized gains or losses, and unrealized appreciation or depreciation) allocated to the Participant’s Before Tax Contributions Account for such Plan Year and Gap Period by a fraction:
               (i) the numerator of which is the amount of excess Before Tax Contributions allocated to the Employee’s Before Tax Contributions Account for the Plan Year; and
               (ii) the denominator of which is the Employee’s total Before Tax Contributions Account balance as of the beginning of the Plan Year increased by the total of the Employee’s Before Tax Contributions for the Plan Year and the Gap Period for such Plan Year.
     (b) If for any Plan Year beginning before January 1, 2008, the Actual Deferral Percentage for Highly Compensated Employees would exceed the greater of: (i) the Actual Deferral Percentage of the Non-Highly Compensated Employees for the preceding Plan Year multiplied by one and one-fourth (1.25), or (ii) the lesser of: (A) two percent (2%) plus the Actual Deferral Percentage of Non-Highly Compensated Employees for the preceding Plan Year, or (B) the Actual Deferral Percentage of Non-Highly Compensated Employees for the preceding Plan Year multiplied by two (2), the Before Tax Contributions of the Highly Compensated Employees shall be reduced as set forth in Sections 3.6(c) and 3.6(d) hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Actual Deferral Percentage for Non-Highly Compensated Employees shall be determined by using the Non-Highly Compensated Employees’ Compensation and the Before Tax Contributions and Qualified Non-elective Contributions made on behalf of such Employees for the current Plan Year rather than the preceding Plan Year, as permitted by, and in accordance with, Section 401(k)(3) of the Code.

27


 

          (c) In order to determine the amount by which Highly Compensated Employees’ Before Tax Contributions must be reduced pursuant to Section 3.6(b) hereof and identifying the Highly Compensated Employees whose Before Tax Contributions shall be reduced, the Plan Administrator shall:
               (i) Determine the maximum Actual Deferral Percentage for Highly Compensated Employees permitted under Section 3.6(b) hereof, if applicable;
               (ii) Identify the Highly Compensated Employees with Actual Deferral Percentages in excess of the maximum percentage amount determined pursuant to the preceding clause (i);
               (iii) Determine the dollar amount of the reduction in each such Highly Compensated Employee’s Before Tax Contributions that would be required so that the Actual Deferral Percentage of Highly Compensated Employees would not exceed the percentage limit determined pursuant to the preceding clause (i), with the dollar amount of such reductions being determined under a process whereby the Actual Deferral Percentage of the Highly Compensated Employee(s) with the highest Actual Deferral Percentage(s) is reduced so that it is equal to that of the Highly Compensated Employee(s) with the next highest Actual Deferral Percentage and repeating such process until the Actual Deferral Percentage of Highly Compensated Employees does not exceed the limit prescribed by Section 3.6(b) hereof, if applicable; and
               (iv) Cause Before Tax Contributions equal to the total dollar amount of Before Tax Contributions determined pursuant to the preceding clause (iii) (the “Excess Deferrals”) to be refunded in accordance with Sections 3.6(d) and 3.6(e) hereof to the Highly Compensated Employees identified therein.
          (d) The Before Tax Contributions of the Highly Compensated Employee(s) with the highest dollar amount of Before Tax Contributions shall be reduced by the amount required to cause the Before Tax Contributions of such Highly Compensated Employee(s) to be equal to the Before Tax Contributions of the Highly Compensated Employee(s) who have the next highest dollar amount of Before Tax Contributions; provided, however, if a lesser reduction would equal the amount of Excess Deferrals, the lesser reduction shall be made. The process provided for by the by the preceding sentence shall be repeated until the total amount of the reductions equals the amount of Excess Deferrals. If the Actual Deferral Percentage of any Employee who is a Highly Compensated Employee for a Plan Year is

28


 

determined taking into consideration before tax contributions allocated to his accounts under two (2) or more plans or arrangements described in Section 401(k) of the Code that are maintained by the Group, as described in Section 1.3 hereof, and the before tax contributions of the Highly Compensated Employee must be reduced to satisfy the requirements of Section 401(k)(3) of the Code, only the before-tax contributions made to the plan being corrected shall be reduced.
          (e) Any Before Tax Contributions in excess of the amount permitted under this Section 3.6, along with any gain or loss allocable thereto for the Plan Year and the Gap Period (as defined in Section 3.6(a) hereof) for such Plan Year, shall be refunded to the Highly Compensated Employees identified in Section 3.6(d) hereof within two and one-half (21/2) months after the close of the Plan Year or as of such later date as may be determined by the Plan Administrator, provided that such later date shall not be later than the close of the Plan Year following the Plan Year in which the excess amounts were contributed. Allocable gain or loss shall be determined in the same manner as described in the last sentence of Section 3.6(a) hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Plan Administrator may, in lieu of refunding all or a portion of excess Before Tax Contributions to the Highly Compensated Employees, recharacterize all or a portion of such excess Before Tax Contributions as After Tax Contributions within two and one-half (21/2) months of the close of the Plan Year in which the excess contributions were made. Any such recharacterization shall comply with applicable regulations under the Code. Employer Matching Contributions that are attributable to Before Tax Contributions distributed pursuant to Section 3.6(a) or this Section 3.6(e) shall be forfeited and used to reduce future Employer contributions. The amount of Before Tax Contributions to be recharacterized as After Tax Contributions or refunded to any Highly Compensated Employee shall be reduced by the amount of any Before Tax Contributions previously distributed to the Employee for such Plan Year.
          (f) Effective for Plan Years beginning on and after January 1, 2002, Participants who are eligible to make Before Tax Contributions hereunder and who have attained age 50 before the close of the Plan Year shall be eligible to make “catch-up contributions” in accordance with, and subject to the limitations of, Section 414(v) of the Code. Such catch-up contributions shall not be taken into account for purposes of the provisions of the Plan implementing the required limitations of Sections 402(g) and 415 of the Code. The Plan shall not be treated as failing to satisfy the provisions of the Plan implementing the

29


 

requirements of Sections 401(k)(3), 410(b) or 416 of the Code, as applicable, by reason of Participants making such catch-up contributions.
          (g) The Plan Administrator may at any time, in its sole discretion, and upon notice to the affected Participants, unilaterally reduce, on a prospective basis, the maximum percentage of Compensation that Highly Compensated Employees may make as Before Tax Contributions to the Plan.
          (h) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, effective for Plan Years beginning after December 31, 2007, (i) the Automatic Contribution Arrangement provisions of Sections 2.1(c) and (e), 2.2(b) and (c) and 4.1 hereof are intended to constitute a “qualified automatic contribution arrangement” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.401(k)-3(j)(i), and satisfy the Actual Deferral Percentage and Average Contribution Percentage tests of Section 401(k) and (m), respectively, of the Code, and (ii) the Actual Deferral Percentage provisions of Sections 3.6(b), (c), (d), (e) and (g) hereof and the Qualified Nonelective Contribution provisions of Section 4.2 hereof, shall not be effective.
     3.7 Rollovers. Employees may, subject to such rules as may be prescribed by the Plan Administrator, roll over all or a portion of (a) an eligible rollover distribution (within the meaning of Section 402(c)(4) of the Code), (b) a rollover amount (within the meaning of Section 403(a)(4) of the Code), or (c) a rollover contribution (within the meaning of Section 408(d)(3)(A)(ii) of the Code) to this Plan, (each, a “Rollover Amount”); provided, however, that (x) in no event may any “after-tax” employee contributions be rolled over into this Plan, and (y) Rollover Amounts may be transferred to the Plan only in the form of cash and/or, in the discretion of the Plan Administrator, one or more participant loan notes. If, after an amount has been rolled over to this Plan, the Plan Administrator determines that such amount was not a valid Rollover Amount, the Plan Administrator shall distribute such amount to the applicable Participant, together with earnings attributable thereto, within a reasonable period after such determination.
ARTICLE 4
EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTIONS
     4.1 Matching Contributions.
     (a) Subject to Sections 4.5 and 4.6 hereof, each Employer shall make Employer Matching Contributions to the Plan with respect to each Participant who is an Employee of that Employer in an amount equal to two hundred percent (200%) of the first two percent (2%) of each such Participant’s

30


 

Compensation contributed to the Plan as Before Tax Contributions each payroll period plus an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the next two percent (2%) of each such Participant’s Compensation contributed to the Plan as Before Tax Contributions each payroll period. Employer Matching Contributions made pursuant to this Section 4.1(a) shall be transferred to the Trustee under the Plan concurrently with the delivery of the Participants’ Before Tax Contributions and shall be allocated to the Accounts of the Participants on whose behalf they were made upon receipt by the Trustee (or as soon as practicable thereafter).
          (b) Subject to Sections 4.5 and 4.6 hereof, in the event that the total amount of Employer Matching Contributions made to the Plan with respect to a Participant for a Plan Year beginning before January 1, 2008, is less than an amount equal to the sum of (i) two hundred percent (200%) of the first two percent (2%) of such Participant’s Compensation contributed to the Plan as Before Tax Contributions for such Plan Year, and (ii) one hundred percent (100%) of the next two percent (2%) of such Participant’s Compensation contributed to the Plan as Before Tax Contributions for such Plan Year (the sum of (a) and (b) being the “Total Match”), the Employer shall make an additional Employer Matching Contribution to the Plan with respect to the Participant for such Plan Year equal to the difference between (x) the Total Match for such Plan Year, and (y) the amount of Employer Matching Contributions made to the Plan on behalf of the Participant pursuant to Section 4.1(a) hereof for such Plan Year (such additional contribution being a “True-Up Contribution”). Employer Matching Contributions made pursuant to this Section 4.1(b) shall be transferred to the Trustee not later than the date required under the Code in order for such contributions to be deductible for such Plan Year for federal income tax purposes and shall be allocated to the Accounts of the Participants on whose behalf they were made upon receipt by the Trustee (or as soon as practicable thereafter). Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Employer may, in its discretion, calculate and contribute to the Plan True-Up Contributions more frequently than on a Plan Year basis. The Employer shall not make any True-Up Contributions for any Plan Year beginning after December 31, 2007.
          (c) An Employer shall transfer to the Trustee an Employer Matching Contribution made with respect to a Before Tax Contribution made during a Plan Year quarter not later than the last day of the immediately following Plan Year quarter. In no event shall an Employer transfer an Employer Matching Contribution made pursuant to this Section 4.1 to the Trustee on behalf of a Participant prior to

31


 

the date the Participant performs the services with respect to which the Employer Matching Contribution is being made (or the date the Compensation for such services would be currently available, if earlier) unless such pre-funding is to accommodate a bona fide administrative concern and is not for the principal purpose of accelerating deductions for federal income tax purposes.
     4.2 Profit Sharing Contributions. Subject to the restrictions imposed by Section 4.5 hereof, and in addition to the contributions required by Section 4.1 hereof, each Employer, by action of its Board of Directors, may elect to make a discretionary Profit Sharing Contribution for a Plan Year in an amount determined by the Employer’s Board of Directors, up to two percent (2%) of the aggregate Compensation of its Eligible Employees, to be allocated among the Profit Sharing Contributions Accounts of the Employer’s Eligible Employees for such Plan Year. An Eligible Employee’s share of any Profit Sharing Contribution for a Plan Year shall be equal to the Eligible Employee’s Compensation for such Plan Year multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Eligible Employee’s Compensation for such Plan Year, and the denominator of which is the total Compensation of all the Employer’s Eligible Employees for such Plan Year. Any election by the Employer’s Board of Directors shall be evidenced by a resolution adopted by the Board of Directors on or before December 31 of the Plan Year for which any such Profit Sharing Contribution is to be made. Eligible Employees shall be promptly notified of the amount of any Profit Sharing Contribution made on their behalf for any Plan Year by any reasonable form of communication that the Plan Administrator considers convenient. Any such Profit Sharing Contribution may be transferred to the Trustee under the Plan, without interest, at any time prior to the required filing date, including any extensions of time granted by the Internal Revenue Service, of the Employer’s federal income tax return for that Plan Year and shall be immediately allocated among the Profit Sharing Contributions Accounts of the Eligible Employees on whose behalf it was made.
     4.3 Qualified Nonelective Contributions. In the discretion of the Company, the Employers may make contributions to the Plan that are “qualified nonelective contributions” (within the meaning of Section 401(m)(4)(C) of the Code). Such contributions shall be allocated to Participants who are Non-Highly Compensated Employees in proportion to their Compensation for the applicable Plan Year in such amounts, at such times and as of such dates as shall be determined by the Employers in accordance with

32


 

Treasury Regulations Section 1.401(k)-2(a)(6). The provisions of this Section 4.3 shall not be effective for Plan Years beginning after December 31, 2007.
     4.4 Reinstatement of Forfeited Account Balances; Payment of Administrative Expenses.
          (a) Each Employer shall contribute to the Plan any amount necessary to reinstate any Company Retirement Contributions, Employer Matching Contributions, and Profit Sharing Contributions previously forfeited pursuant to Section 6.4 hereof.
          (b) To the extent not paid by the Trustee from the Trust Fund, each Employer shall pay its pro rata share of all administrative expenses of the Plan and of all fees and retainers of the Plan’s Trustee, consultants, auditors and counsel (who may, but need not, be counsel to the Company and to the Trustee). All expenses directly relating to the investments of the Trust Fund such as taxes, commissions, registration charges, etc. shall be paid by the Trustee from the Trust Fund.
     4.5 Limitations on Contributions. The limitations imposed by Section 415 of the Code are hereby incorporated by reference. For purposes of applying the limitations imposed by Section 415 of the Code, “compensation” as referred to therein, shall mean Section 415 Compensation.
     4.6 Limitations on After Tax Contributions and Employer Matching Contributions.
          (a) If for any Plan Year beginning before January 1, 2008, the Average Contribution Percentage of Highly Compensated Employees for any Plan Year would exceed the greater of: (i) the Average Contribution Percentage of Non-Highly Compensated Employees for the preceding Plan Year multiplied by one and one-fourth (1.25), or (ii) the lesser of: (A) two percent (2%) plus the Average Contribution Percentage of Non-Highly Compensated Employees for the preceding Plan Year, or (B) the Average Contribution Percentage of Non-Highly Compensated Employees for the preceding Plan Year multiplied by two (2), the After Tax Contributions and/or Employer Matching Contributions of the Highly Compensated Employees shall be reduced as set forth in Sections 4.6(b) and 4.6(c) hereof. Notwithstanding anything herein, the Average Contribution Percentage for Non-Highly Compensated Employees shall be determined by using the Non-Highly Compensated Employees’ Compensation, After Tax Contributions and Employer Matching Contributions made on their behalf for the current Plan Year rather than the preceding Plan Year, as permitted by, and in accordance with, Section 401(m)(2) of the Code.

33


 

          (b) In order to determine the amount by which Highly Compensated Employees’ After Tax Contributions and/or Employer Matching Contributions must be reduced and identifying the Highly Compensated Employees whose After Tax Contribution and/or Employer Matching Contributions shall be reduced, the Plan Administrator shall:
               (i) Determine the maximum Average Contribution Percentage for Highly Compensated Employees permitted under Section 4.6(a) hereof;
               (ii) Identify the Highly Compensated Employees with Average Contribution Percentages in excess of the maximum percentage amount determined pursuant to the preceding clause (i);
               (iii) Determine the dollar amount of the reduction in each such Highly Compensated Employee’s After Tax Contributions and/or Employer Matching Contributions that would be required so that the Average Contribution Percentage of Highly Compensated Employees would not exceed the percentage limit determined pursuant to the preceding clause (i), with the dollar amount of such reductions being determined under a process whereby the Average Contribution Percentage of the Highly Compensated Employee(s) with the highest Average Contribution Percentage(s) is reduced so that it is equal to that of the Highly Compensated Employee(s) with the next highest Average Contribution Percentage and repeating such process until the Average Contribution Percentage of Highly Compensated Employees does not exceed the limits prescribed by Section 4.6(a) hereof; and
               (iv) Cause After Tax Contributions and/or Employer Matching Contributions equal to the total dollar amount of After Tax Contributions and/or Employer Matching Contributions determined pursuant to the preceding clause (iii) (the “Excess Contributions”) to be refunded in accordance with Sections 4.6(c) and 4.6(d) hereof to the Highly Compensated Employees identified therein.
          (c) After Tax Contributions and/or Employer Matching Contributions of the Highly Compensated Employee(s) with the highest total amount of After Tax Contributions and/or Employer Matching Contributions shall be reduced by the amount required to cause the After Tax Contributions and/or Employer Matching Contributions of such Highly Compensated Employee(s) to be equal to the After Tax Contributions and/or Employer Matching Contributions of the Highly Compensated Employee(s)

34


 

who have the next highest total amount of After Tax Contributions and/or Employer Matching Contributions; provided, however, if a lesser reduction would equal the amount of Excess Contributions, the lesser reduction shall be made. The process provided for by the preceding sentence shall be repeated until the total amount of the reductions equals the amount of Excess Contributions. For purposes of the foregoing, reductions made to a Highly Compensated Employee’s After Tax Contributions and/or Employer Matching Contributions pursuant to this Section 4.6(c) shall be made in the following order: (i) After Tax Contributions with respect to which no Employer Matching Contributions were made; (ii) other After Tax Contributions and related Employer Matching Contributions; and (iii) other Employer Matching Contributions.

          (d) After Tax Contributions and any vested Employer Matching Contributions in excess of the amount permitted under this Section 4.6, along with any gain or loss allocable thereto for the Plan Year and the Gap Period (as defined in Section 3.6(a) hereof for such Plan Year, shall be distributed to the Highly Compensated Employees identified in Section 4.6(c) hereof within two and one-half (21/2) months after the close of the relevant Plan Year (or as of such later date as may be determined by the Plan Administrator, provided that such later date shall not be later than the close of the Plan Year following the Plan Year in which the excess amounts were contributed). The income allocable for a Plan Year, plus the Gap Period (as defined in Section 3.6(a) hereof) for such Plan Year, to a Highly Compensated Employee’s excess After Tax Contributions and/or Employer Matching Contributions shall be determined by multiplying the total investment income or loss (including dividends, interest, realized gains or losses, and unrealized appreciation or depreciation) allocated to the Employee’s After Tax Contributions Account and/or Employer Matching Contributions Account for such Plan Year and Gap Period by a fraction:

35


 

               (i) the numerator of which is the amount of excess After Tax Contributions and/or Employer Matching Contributions allocated to the Employee’s After Tax Contributions Account and/or Employer Matching Contributions Account for the Plan Year; and
               (ii) the denominator of which is the Employee’s total After Tax Contributions Account balance and/or Employer Matching Contributions Account balance as of the beginning of the Plan Year increased by the total of the Employee’s After Tax Contributions and/or Employer Matching Contributions for the Plan Year and the Gap Period for such Plan Year.
          (e) Nonvested Employer Matching Contributions that are attributable to After Tax Contributions that are distributed and any nonvested Employer Matching Contribution that are otherwise reduced pursuant to this Section 4.6 (together with any allocable gain or loss, as determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.6(d) hereof) shall be forfeited within two and one-half (21/2) months after the close of the relevant Plan Year (or as of such later date as may be determined by the Plan Administrator, provided that such later date shall not be later than the close of the Plan Year following the Plan Year in which the excess amounts were contributed) and used to reduce future Employer contributions and shall not be considered a contribution for any purpose of the Plan, except to the extent required by applicable regulations.
          (f) The Plan Administrator at any time, in its sole discretion, and upon notice to the affected Participants, may unilaterally reduce, on a prospective basis, the maximum percentage of Compensation that Highly Compensated Employees may make as After Tax Contributions to the Plan.
          (g) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, effective for Plan Years beginning after December 31, 2007, (i) the Automatic Contribution Arrangement provisions of Sections 2.1(c) and (e), 2.2(b) and (c) and 4.1 hereof are intended to constitute a “qualified automatic contribution arrangement” described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.401(k)-3(j)(i), and satisfy the Actual Deferral Percentage and Average Contribution Percentage tests of Sections 401(k) and 401(m), respectively, of the Code, and (ii) the Average Contribution Percentage provisions of this Section 4.6 shall not be effective.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Plan Administrator or the Trustee may, in its sole discretion and either with or without prior notice to Participants, suspend, delay, limit or restrict the execution of Participant transfer elections for some or all Participants for such periods as the Plan Administrator or the Trustee may determine in the event of electronic or other communications failures or for purposes of facilitating the merger of a Merged Plan into this Plan.

          (a) shares of Common Stock held in the respective Stock Fund for which it has received timely voting instructions in accordance with such instructions; and
          (b) shares of Common Stock held in the respective Stock Fund for which it has not received timely voting instructions from Participants, or which are pending allocation to Participants’

43


 

Accounts, in the same proportion as it votes those shares of Common Stock held in the respective Stock Fund for which it has received timely voting instructions from Participants on such matter, unless the Trustee determines that doing so would be inconsistent with Title I of ERISA.
     7.8 Tender or Exchange Offers (for Periods Prior to January 1, 2010).

The Trustee shall utilize its best efforts to timely distribute or to cause to be distributed to each Participant such information as will be distributed to shareholders of Temple-Inland Inc., the Company or Forestar in connection with any such tender or exchange offer. Upon timely receipt of such written directions from the Participant, the Trustee shall respond as directed with respect to the shares of Common Stock held in the respective Stock Fund representing all, but not less than all, of the shares over which that Participant has the right of direction. If the Trustee shall not have received timely written directions from any Participant as to the manner in which to respond to such a tender or exchange offer, the Trustee shall not tender or exchange any such shares with respect to which that Participant has the right of direction. Shares of Common Stock held in a Stock Fund by the Trustee pending allocation to Participants’ Accounts shall be tendered or exchanged by the Trustee in the same proportion as are tendered or exchanged those shares with respect to which Participants have the right of direction.

Information relating to the purchase, holding, and sale of Common Stock, and the directions received by the Trustee from Participants pursuant to Sections 7.7 and 7.8 hereof shall be held by the Trustee in accordance with procedures developed by the Plan Administrator that are designed to safeguard the confidentiality of such information (except to the extent provided therein). The Investment Committee shall be responsible for ensuring that the procedures provided for by Sections 7.7 and 7.8 hereof and this Section 7.9 are sufficient to safeguard the confidentiality of such Participant information, that such procedures are being followed, and that an independent fiduciary is appointed to carry out any activities which the Investment Committee determines involve a potential for undue employer influence upon Participants and beneficiaries with respect to the direct or indirect exercise of shareholder rights.

     8.4 Hardship Withdrawals.
          (a) Subject to the provisions of this Article 8, a Participant may withdraw any amount, but not less than five hundred dollars ($500), of his Before Tax Contributions (not including any earnings thereon and reduced by the amount of any prior withdrawal of such contributions) from his Before Tax Contributions Account on account of hardship. For purposes of this Plan a withdrawal is on account of hardship only if:
               (i) the withdrawal is made because of an immediate and heavy financial need of the Participant (as determined in accordance with Section 8.4(b) hereof), and

45


 

               (ii) the withdrawal is necessary to satisfy such financial need (as determined in accordance with Sections 8.4(c) through 8.4(f) hereof).
          (b) For purposes of this Section 8.4, a distribution is on account of an immediate and heavy financial need of a Participant only if the distribution is on account of:

               (iii) payment of tuition, related educational fees, and room and board expenses, for up to the next twelve (12) months of post-secondary education for the Participant, or the Participant’s spouse, children, or dependents (as defined in Section 152 of the Code, and for Plan Years beginning on and after January 1, 2005, without regard to Sections 152(b)(1), (b)(2) and (d)(1)(B) of the Code); or
               (iv) the need to prevent the eviction of the Participant from his principal residence or foreclosure of the mortgage on his principal residence; or
               (v) payments for burial or funeral expenses for the Participant’s deceased parent, spouse, children or dependents (as defined in Section 152 of the Code, and for taxable years beginning on and after January 1, 2005, without regard to Section 152(d)(1)(B) of the Code); or
               (vi) expenses for the repair of damage to the Participant’s principal residence that would qualify for the casualty deduction under Section 165 of the Code (determined without regard to whether the loss exceeds 10% of adjusted gross income); or

         (c) A withdrawal shall be treated as necessary to satisfy an immediate and heavy financial need of a Participant only to the extent that the amount of the withdrawal does not exceed the

46


 

amount required to meet the financial need. For this purpose, the amount required to satisfy the financial need may include any amounts necessary to pay any federal, state or local income taxes or penalties reasonably anticipated to result from the withdrawal. A withdrawal shall not be treated as necessary to satisfy an immediate and heavy financial need of a Participant to the extent the need may be relieved from other resources reasonably available to the Participant. This determination generally is to be made on the basis of all the relevant facts and circumstances. For this purpose, the Participant’s resources are deemed to include those assets of the Participant’s spouse and minor children (other than property held for a minor child under (i) an irrevocable trust, or (ii) the Uniform Gifts to Minors Act or comparable state law) that are reasonably available to the Participant.
         (d) An immediate and heavy financial need may be treated as not capable of being relieved from other resources reasonable available to a Participant if the Employer relies upon the Participant’s representation (made in writing or such other form as may be prescribed by the Commissioner of Internal Revenue), unless the Employer has actual knowledge to the contrary, that the need cannot reasonably be relieved:
               (i) Through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise;
               (ii) By liquidation of the Participant’s assets;
               (iii) By cessation of the Participant’s Before Tax Contributions under the Plan;
               (iv) By other currently available distributions under plans maintained by the Group or any other employer; or
               (v) By loans from commercial sources on reasonable commercial terms in an amount sufficient to satisfy the need.
          (e) A need cannot be reasonably relieved by one of the actions in Section 8.4(d) hereof if the effect of the action would be to increase the amount of the need.
          (f) Notwithstanding Sections 8.4(c) through 8.4(e) hereof, a Participant must obtain all nontaxable (at the time of the loan(s)) loans under the Plan and all other plans maintained by the Group prior to obtaining a hardship withdrawal hereunder.

The date of the first Before Tax Contribution made pursuant to Section 2.2(b) hereof is the date that the Compensation that is subject to the cash or deferred election would otherwise have been included in the Automatic Contribution Participant’s income. The effective date of the Automatic Contribution Participants election shall not be later than the last day of the payroll period that begins after the date the election is made. Employer Matching Contributions made on the withdrawn Before Tax Contributions shall be forfeited. If a Participant elects to withdraw his Before Tax Contributions under this Section 8.6, he shall be deemed to have elected to not make Before Tax Contributions effective as of the effective date of the withdrawal.
     8.7 Application for Withdrawals; Processing. A request for a withdrawal shall be made by a Participant by providing Notice to the Plan Administrator within such period of time as the Plan Administrator may prescribe, subject to Section 8.6 hereof. The Plan Administrator shall evaluate the written application of a Participant for a hardship withdrawal in accordance with a uniform and nondiscriminatory policy applicable to all Participants similarly situated and shall direct the Trustee to make a hardship distribution to such Participant upon a finding of such hardship in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.4 hereof. A Participant making application hereunder for a hardship withdrawal shall provide to the Plan Administrator such information and representations as the Plan Administrator deems necessary or appropriate. Withdrawal request Notices pursuant to this Article 8 that are properly made shall be processed by the Plan Administrator and Trustee as soon as practicable after receipt, subject to complying with the requirements of Section 402(f) of the Code.

A Participant may make only one withdrawal under Sections 8.1, 8.2 and 8.3 hereof in any consecutive six (6) month period (except as otherwise permitted under rules adopted and consistently applied in a uniform and nondiscriminatory manner by the Plan Administrator); provided, however, that (a) concurrent withdrawals pursuant to such Sections shall be treated as a single withdrawal, and (b) withdrawals made in connection with a withdrawal pursuant to Section 8.4 hereof shall be permitted without regard to the foregoing restrictions of this Section 8.8 and shall not be taken into account for purposes of this Section 8.8.
     8.9 Effect of Withdrawals on Investments. Withdrawals from a Participant’s Accounts pursuant to this Article 8 shall be charged to each Fund, on a pro rata basis, in which the Participant has a Subaccount under the relevant Accounts. Withdrawals made pursuant to this Article 8 shall be made as of the Valuation Date as of which the withdrawal is processed by the Trustee and a Participant’s Accounts shall be adjusted accordingly.
     8.10 Timing and Form of Payment of Withdrawals. All withdrawals pursuant to this Article 8 shall be paid in cash in a lump sum as of the Valuation Date that authorized distribution directions are received by the Trustee, provided that any applicable legal requirements have been satisfied; provided, however, that, in the case of a withdrawal made on or before December 31, 2009, a Participant may, by giving prior Notice to the Plan Administrator within such time limit as the Plan Administrator shall prescribe, elect to have that portion of his withdrawal which is charged against his Temple-Inland Stock Fund, Guaranty Stock Fund or Forester Stock Fund Subaccount paid in shares of the respective Common Stock, with the value of any fractional shares and any uninvested funds held in his Company Stock Fund Subaccount paid in cash.

As soon as practicable after receipt of a Participant’s distribution election Notice, the Plan Administrator shall instruct the Trustee to distribute the Participant’s Account Balance in accordance with the Participant’s election; provided, however, that all distributions shall be subject to Section 9.1(d) hereof.
          (b) As soon as practicable after the Plan Administrator receives notice of (i) the occurrence of a Distribution Event with respect to a Participant whose vested Account Balance does not exceed one thousand dollars ($1,000) (five thousand dollars ($5,000) for periods prior to March 28, 2005, excluding the Participant’s Rollover Account for periods prior to March 28, 2005), or (ii) the death of a Participant, the Plan Administrator shall instruct the Trustee to distribute the vested Account Balance of such Participant to the Participant (or in the case of a deceased Participant, the Participant’s beneficiary, as designated in accordance with Section 2.1(f) hereof), subject to complying with the requirements of Section 9.1(d) hereof. As soon as practicable after the Plan Administrator receives notice of the occurrence of a Distribution Event with respect to a Participant whose vested Account Balance exceeds one thousand dollars ($1,000), but does not exceed five thousand dollars ($5,000), the Plan Administrator shall instruct the Trustee to distribute the vested Account Balance of such Participant in a Direct Rollover to an individual retirement plan designated by the Plan Administrator if the Participant does not elect to (i) have such distribution paid directly to an Eligible Retirement Plan in accordance with Section 9.8 hereof, or (ii) receive the distribution directly.
          (c) If a Participant has no balance in his Before Tax Contributions Account and Qualified Nonelective Contributions Account, and no portion of his Employer Matching Contributions Account, Company Retirement Contributions Account and Profit Sharing Contributions Account is vested, at the time the Participant receives a distribution of his entire vested Account Balance, the Participant shall be deemed to have received a distribution of his entire nonforfeitable interest in such Accounts (which, since the Participant is not vested, is zero).
          (d) In no event shall the Plan Administrator direct the Trustee to distribute a Participant’s vested Account Balance prior to satisfying the requirements of Section 402(f) of the Code.
     9.2 Payment of Benefits by Trustee; Form of Payment. Except as provided in Section 9.3 hereof, all amounts that become distributable after a Distribution Event pursuant to Section 9.1 hereof shall be paid in the form of a lump-sum payment as soon as practicable after the Trustee receives a distribution

50


 

instruction from the Plan Administrator and any applicable legal requirements have been satisfied. Distributions made in accordance with this Article from the Funds shall be paid in cash; provided, however, if a Participant so elects, distributions from a Participant’s Stock Fund Subaccount(s) shall be made in whole shares of the respective Common Stock with fractional shares and any uninvested funds held in the Stock Fund Subaccount(s) paid in cash. The amount distributed to a Participant or beneficiary shall be equal to the applicable Participant’s Account Balance as of the date that the Trustee processes the distribution instruction.
     9.3 Installment Option for Certain Retiring Participants. A Participant who has elected to commence installment distributions pursuant to this Section 9.3 prior to January 1, 2008, may elect, by providing Notice to the Plan Administrator, to receive a lump-sum distribution of the Participant’s remaining Account Balance, in which case no further payments shall be made with respect to the Participant pursuant to this Plan. As soon as practicable after the receipt of such an election, the Plan Administrator shall instruct the Trustee to distribute to the Participant the Participant’s remaining Account Balance. In the event of the death of such a Participant prior to the payment of all installment payments the Participant is entitled to pursuant to this Section 9.3, the Participant’s remaining Account Balance shall be distributed to the Participant’s beneficiary (as designated in accordance with Section 2.1(f) hereof) in accordance with Section 9.1(b) hereof and no further payments shall be made with respect to the Participant pursuant to this Plan.
     9.4 Required Minimum Distributions. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary (other than the Minimum Distribution Appendix hereto), the vested portion of a Participant’s Account Balance shall be, or begin to be, distributed to the Participant not later than the Participant’s Required Beginning Date. If, on or before a Participant’s Required Beginning Date, the Participant does not die and does not elect to receive a distribution of his vested Account Balance in the form of a lump sum payment, (a) the Participant’s vested Account Balance shall begin to be distributed to the Participant on the Participant’s Required Beginning Date in accordance with regulations issued under Section 401(a)(9) of the Code over the life of the Participant (or over a period not extending beyond the life expectancy of the Participant), and (b) the Participant may elect, by prior Notice to the Plan Administrator, after the Participant’s Required Beginning Date to accelerate distribution of the Participant’s remaining Account

51


 

Balance in the form of a lump sum payment described in Section 9.2 hereof. If the Participant dies prior to the distribution of his entire Account Balance, the Participant’s remaining Account Balance shall be distributed to his beneficiary as soon as administratively practicable after the date of the Participant’s death in a single lump sum payment described in Section 9.2 hereof.
     9.5 Payment to Participant’s Estate. If there is no person alive to receive and receipt for any payment due under the Plan, the Plan Administrator shall direct that such payment or payments be made to the estate of the deceased Participant or the last deceased payee, as the case may be.
     9.6 Incapacity of Payee. If any person who is entitled to receive any benefits hereunder is, in the sole and absolute judgment of the Plan Administrator, legally, physically or mentally incapable of personally receiving and receipting for any distributions, the Plan Administrator in its sole and absolute discretion may instruct the Trustee to make distribution to such other person, persons, institution or institutions as in the judgment of the Plan Administrator shall then be maintaining or have custody over such distributee. The Plan Administrator may rely upon the report of a duly licensed physician with regard to capacity or may in its sole and absolute discretion first require persons claiming benefits to obtain an appropriate court order determining such person’s capacity.
     9.7 Plan Administrator Determines Payee. Except as otherwise provided by ERISA, the determination of the Plan Administrator as to the identity of the proper payee for any payment and the amount properly payable shall be conclusive, and payment in accordance with such determination shall, to the extent thereof, constitute a complete discharge of all obligations to such payee under the Plan.
     9.8 Rollover Distributions. (a) A Participant may elect, at the time and in the manner prescribed by the Plan Administrator, to have any portion of an Eligible Rollover Distribution paid directly to an Eligible Retirement Plan specified by the Participant as a Direct Rollover. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Participant shall not be entitled to elect a Direct Rollover of an amount that is not in excess of any minimum dollar amount that the Plan Administrator may prescribe from time to time in accordance with applicable regulations.
          (b) For purposes of this Section 9.8, an “Eligible Rollover Distribution” is any distribution of all or any portion of a Participant’s Accounts, except that an Eligible Rollover Distribution

52


 

shall not include (i) any distribution that is one of a series of substantially equal periodic payments (paid not less frequently than annually) made for a specified period of ten years or more, (ii) any distribution to the extent that such distribution is required under Section 401(a)(9) of the Code, (iii) the portion of any distribution made prior to January, 2002 that is not includible in gross income (determined without regard to the exclusion for net unrealized appreciation with respect to employer securities), (iv) any hardship distribution (within the meaning of Section 401(k)(2)(B)(i)(IV)) that is made on or after January 1, 2000, or (v) any withdrawal of default Before Tax Contributions under Section 8.6 hereof.
          (c) For purposes of this Section 9.8, an “Eligible Retirement Plan” is an individual retirement account described in Section 408(a) of the Code, an individual retirement annuity described in Section 408(b) of the Code, an annuity plan described in Section 403(a) of the Code, or a qualified trust described in Section 401(a) of the Code, that accepts the Participant’s Eligible Rollover Distribution. Effective January 1, 2002, with respect to Eligible Rollover Distributions made on or after such date, the term “Eligible Retirement Plan” shall also include an annuity contract described in Section 403(b) of the Code and an eligible plan under Section 457(b) of the Code which is maintained by a state, political subdivision of a state, or any agency or instrumentality of a state or political subdivision of a state and which agrees to separately account for amounts transferred into such plan from this Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to the portion of an Eligible Rollover Distribution that is not includible in gross income (determined without regard to the exclusion for net unrealized appreciation on employer securities), the term “Eligible Retirement Plan” shall only include an individual retirement account or annuity described in Section 408(a) or (b) of the Code, or a qualified defined contribution plan under Section 401(a) or 403(a) of the Code that agrees to separately account for such amounts, including separately accounting for the portion of such distribution which is includible in gross income and the portion of such distribution which is not so includible.
          (d) The surviving spouse of a deceased Participant or a Participant’s spouse, former spouse, or surviving spouse who is an alternate payee under a qualified domestic relations order (within the meaning of Section 414(p) of the Code) shall be treated as a Participant for purposes of this Section 9.8; provided, however, that in the case of an Eligible Rollover Distribution made before January 1, 2002, to a

53


 

surviving spouse, the term “Eligible Retirement Plan” shall include only an individual retirement account or individual retirement annuity.
          (e) For purposes of this Section 9.8, a “Direct Rollover” is a payment by the Plan to the Eligible Retirement Plan specified by the Participant.
          (f) Effective for distributions made after December 31, 2006, and notwithstanding Sections 9.8(a) through (d) hereof, if a non-spouse beneficiary is eligible to receive a distribution of a Participant’s Accounts, which distribution would otherwise constitute an Eligible Rollover Distribution, and the non-spouse beneficiary is a designated beneficiary (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.401(a)(9)-4), then to the extent permitted by Section 402(c) of the Code, the non-spouse beneficiary may direct a trustee to trustee transfer of the distribution of the Participant’s Accounts to an individual retirement account described in Section 408(a) of the Code or an individual retirement annuity described in Section 408(b) of the Code (other than an endowment contract) established for the purpose of receiving the distribution on behalf of the non-spouse beneficiary, and (i) such transfer shall be treated as a Direct Rollover of an Eligible Rollover Distribution for purposes of Section 402(c) of the Code, and (ii) such individual retirement account or individual retirement annuity shall be treated as an inherited individual retirement account individual retirement annuity (within the meaning of Section 408(d)(3)(C)).
          (g) The provisions of this Section 9.8 shall be effective as of January 1, 1993, except as otherwise provided herein.
     9.9 Distributions Pursuant to Qualified Domestic Relations Orders. Notwithstanding any other provision of Article 8 or this Article 9 to the contrary, all or a portion of a Participant’s Accounts may be distributed at any time to an “alternate payee” (within the meaning of Section 414(p) of the Code) pursuant to a “qualified domestic relations order” (within the meaning of Section 414(p) of the Code) to the extent permitted by applicable regulations.
ARTICLE 10
LOANS
     10.1 Availability of Loans; Application for Loans.
          (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Article 10, the Plan Administrator may, in its sole discretion, direct the Trustee to loan to an Eligible Borrower as of any Valuation Date an

54


 

amount from the Eligible Borrower’s Accounts that is not less than $1,000 and that, when added to any other Loan outstanding to the Eligible Borrower does not exceed the lesser of (i) fifty percent (50%) of the Eligible Borrower’s vested Account Balance; or (ii) $50,000 reduced by the highest outstanding balance of loans, during the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the date the Loan is made, from the Plan and from any other tax qualified retirement plan maintained by the Group.
          (b) Loans shall be made available to Eligible Borrowers on a reasonably equivalent basis without regard to race, color, religion, sex, age or national origin and after giving consideration only to those factors which would be considered in a normal commercial setting by an entity in the business of making similar types of loans. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Plan Administrator may impose different terms and conditions on Loans made at different times and to different Eligible Borrowers. The Plan Administrator may change the terms of any outstanding loan to the extent required by applicable law.
          (c) An application for a Loan shall be made by an Eligible Borrower by providing Notice to the Plan Administrator within such period of time prior to the date of the Loan as the Plan Administrator may prescribe.
     10.2 Terms of Loans.
          (a) Loans shall bear a reasonable rate of interest established by the Plan Administrator that will provide the Plan with a return commensurate with the interest rates charged by entities in the business of lending money for loans which would be made under similar circumstances.
          (b) Loans shall be adequately secured, but in no event shall more than fifty percent (50%) of an Eligible Borrower’s vested Account Balance under the Plan at the time of the Loan be considered as security. The adequacy of such security shall be determined by the Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion, in light of the type and amount of security which would be required in the case of an otherwise identical transaction in a normal commercial setting between unrelated parties on arm’s-length terms.
          (c) The period of repayment for each Loan shall be arrived at by mutual agreement between the Plan Administrator and an Eligible Borrower, but such period shall not in any case exceed five (5) years; provided, however, that a Residential Loan may have a term of up to twenty-five (25) years.

55


 

          (d) An Eligible Borrower shall be permitted to have no more than one (1) outstanding Loan at any time; except in the case of an Eligible Borrower who has two (2) outstanding Loans as of December 31, 2007, such Eligible Borrower may continue to repay both Loans in accordance with their terms as of such date, but he may not obtain another Loan hereunder until such Loans are no longer outstanding.
          (e) Loan repayments by a Borrower who is an employee of the Group shall be made through regular payroll deductions made not less frequently than quarterly from amounts otherwise payable to the Eligible Borrower. Any Borrower who is not receiving any compensation from a member of the Group from which payroll deductions can be made shall be required to make required Loan repayments by money order or a certified or cashier’s check delivered to the office of the Plan Administrator on or before their respective due dates or otherwise in accordance with rules prescribed by the Plan Administrator. Cash payments (including personal checks) shall not be accepted.
          (f) A Borrower shall be permitted to prepay, without penalty, all of the outstanding balance of a Loan and accrued interest thereon at any time; provided, however, that partial prepayments shall not be permitted.
          (g) Each Loan shall be evidenced by such documentation as may be required by the Plan Administrator, including but not limited to an authorization from each Borrower who is an employee of the Group to permit its Employer to effect repayment through regular payroll deductions.
          (h) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan to the contrary, no distribution shall be made to any Borrower from that portion of a Borrower’s Before Tax Contributions Account that secures one or more Loans made to such Borrower unless and until all such loans have been repaid.
          (i) Each Loan shall have such additional terms and conditions as may be determined by the Plan Administrator in its sole discretion, including, but not limited to, terms and conditions relating to application and administration fees, events of default, prepayments, and required security.
          (j) A loan that was made to a Participant under the terms of a Merged Plan and that is transferred to this Plan in connection with the merger of the Merged Plan into this Plan or that was rolled over into this Plan pursuant to Section 3.7 hereof shall be treated as a Loan hereunder except that the terms

56


 

of such a Loan shall be required to comply with the requirements of this Article 10 only to the extent determined by the Plan Administrator in its discretion.
     10.3 Events of Default.
          (a) The outstanding balance of any Loan shall, at the sole option of the Plan Administrator, immediately become due and payable without further notice or demand, upon the occurrence, with respect to a Borrower of any of the following events of default:
               (i) any payment of principal or accrued interest on a Loan remains due and unpaid for a period of ten (10) calendar days after the same becomes due and payable under the terms of the loan, provided that the Plan Administrator is authorized to allow a grace period that does not continue beyond the last day of the calendar quarter following the calendar quarter in which the required payment was not made;
               (ii) the commencement of a proceeding in bankruptcy, receivership or insolvency by or against the Borrower, but only to the extent then permitted under applicable federal law;
               (iii) the later of the termination of the employment of the Borrower with the Group for any reason or the Borrower ceasing to be an Eligible Borrower;
               (iv) the Borrower attempts to make an assignment for the benefit of creditors of that portion of his Before Tax Contributions Account securing his Loan or in any other security for his Loan;
               (v) a qualified domestic relations order (as such term is then defined in Section 414(p) of the Code) with respect to the Borrower is received by the Plan Administrator; or
               (vi) any Loan proceeds are used, directly or indirectly, by the Borrower to purchase or carry securities (as such term is then defined for purposes of Regulation G of the Federal Reserve Board as promulgated pursuant to Section 7 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934).
          (b) Any payments of principal or interest on a Loan not paid when due shall bear such interest thereafter as may be specified by the terms of the loan. The payment and acceptance of any sum or sums at any time on account of a Loan after the occurrence of an event of default, or any failure to

57


 

act to enforce the rights granted hereunder upon the occurrence of an event of default, shall not be a waiver of the right of acceleration set forth in Section 10.3(a) hereof.
          (c) If an event of default and the acceleration of the outstanding balance of any Loan shall occur as described in Section 10.3(a), the Plan Administrator shall have the right to direct the Trustee to pursue any remedies available to a creditor at law or under the terms of the Loan, including the right to execute on the security for the Loan in satisfaction of the outstanding balance of the Loan; provided, however, that the Plan Administrator shall not have the right to direct the Trustee to execute on any amounts credited to a Borrower’s Before Tax Contributions Account before the date on which such amounts may be distributed without adversely affecting the tax-qualified status of the Plan.
     10.4 Accounting for Loans. A Participant Loan Subaccount shall be established as of the date a Loan is made to an Eligible Borrower and an amount equal to the principal amount of the Loan shall be transferred from the Eligible Borrower’s Accounts to his Participant Loan Subaccount, with the amount transferred coming (a) first from earnings allocated to the Eligible Borrower’s Before Tax Contributions Account, until exhausted, (b) second, from Before Tax Contributions, and (c) third, pro rata from the Participant’s other Accounts based on the vested balance of such Accounts. The Loan shall be treated as an investment of the funds credited to the Eligible Borrower’s affected Accounts. Cash equal to the amount of the Loan shall be obtained by liquidating, on a pro rata basis, the investments allocated to the Subaccounts under the affected Accounts. Payments of principal and interest on a Loan shall be credited to the Borrower’s Accounts that have a Loan Subaccount in proportion to the balances in such Subaccounts and invested in the various Funds in the same proportion as the Eligible Borrower’s current contributions are invested; provided, however, if the Borrower is not making any current Before Tax Contributions to the Plan, the payments shall be invested in the Target Retirement Fund appropriate for the Borrower’s age.
ARTICLE 11
ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN
     11.1 Authority of Plan Administrator.
          (a) The Plan shall be administered on behalf of the participating Employers by an administrator (the “Plan Administrator”) appointed by the Board of Directors or Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

58


 

          (b) Except as otherwise provided herein, the Plan Administrator shall be solely responsible for the administration, operation and interpretation of the Plan. The Plan Administrator shall establish rules and regulations appropriate for the administration of the Plan. It shall have the exclusive right and discretion to interpret the Plan and to decide any and all matters arising thereunder or in connection with the administration of the Plan in its sole discretion, and it shall endeavor to act, whether by general rules or by particular decisions, so as not to discriminate in favor of any person or class of persons. Except as otherwise provided by ERISA, such decisions, actions and records of the Plan Administrator shall be conclusive and binding upon the Company, the Employers and all persons having or claiming to have any right or interest in or under the Plan.
          (c) The Plan Administrator may delegate to (i) any agent or agents of the Group, or (ii) any employee or employees of the Group, severally or jointly, the authority to perform any act or function in connection with the administration of the Plan. The Plan Administrator may also, in its discretion, contract with one or more third parties to perform any act or function in connection with the administration of the Plan and with respect to such acts or functions, references herein to the Plan Administrator shall be deemed to be references to such third party.
          (d) The Plan Administrator shall maintain such records as are required under ERISA or under the Code and such additional records as it deems necessary or appropriate showing the fiscal transactions of the Plan.
     11.2 Claims Procedure.
          (a) If any Participant, beneficiary or other payee (a “claimant”) claims to be entitled to a benefit under the Plan and the Plan Administrator determines that such claim should be denied in whole or in part, the Plan Administrator shall notify such claimant of its decision in writing (which may be provided electronically). Such notification will be written in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant and will contain (i) specific reasons for the denial, (ii) specific reference to pertinent Plan provisions, (iii) a description of any additional material or information necessary for the claimant to perfect such claim and an explanation of why such material or information is necessary, and (iv) a description of the Plan’s review procedures and the time limits applicable to such procedures, including a statement of the claimant’s right to bring a civil action under Section 502(a) of ERISA following the rendering of an

59


 

adverse decision on review. Such notification will be given within a reasonable period of time, but not later than ninety (90) days after the claim is received by the Plan Administrator, unless the Plan Administrator determines that special circumstances require an extension of time for processing the claim. If the Plan Administrator determines that such an extension of time is required, written notice of the extension shall be provided to the claimant prior to the end of the initial ninety (90) day period. The extension notice shall indicate the special circumstances requiring the extension of time and the date by which the Plan Administrator expects to render its decision. In no event shall the extension exceed an additional ninety (90) days from the end of the initial ninety (90) day period. Any electronic notification provided by the Plan Administrator under this Section 11.2 shall comply with the standards imposed by 29 C.F.R. 2520.104b-1(c)(1)(i)-(iv).
               (i) Within sixty (60) days after the date on which a claimant receives a written notice of a denied claim, the claimant may file a written request with the Plan Administrator for a review of the denied claim. If the claimant requests a review of the denied claim, the claimant shall be entitled to submit to the Plan Administrator written comments, documents, records and other information relating to the claim for benefits and to receive, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records and other information relevant to the claimant’s claim for benefits. The Plan Administrator shall perform its review taking into account all comments, documents, records and other information submitted by the claimant relating to the claim without regard to whether such information was submitted or considered in the initial benefit determination. The Plan Administrator will notify the claimant of its decision in writing (which may be provided electronically). If the claim is denied, the notification will be written in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant and will contain (A) the specific reasons for the denial, (B) references to pertinent provisions of the Plan, (C) 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 claimant’s claim for benefits, and (D) a statement of the claimant’s right to bring an action under Section 502(a) of ERISA.
               (ii) The review provided for by Section 11.2(b)(i) will be made within a reasonable period of time, but not later than sixty (60) days after the Plan Administrator receives the request for review, unless the Plan Administrator determines that special circumstances require an

60


 

extension of time for processing the claim. If the Plan Administrator determines that an extension of time is required, written notice of the extension shall be furnished to the claimant prior to the end of the initial sixty (60) day period. The extension notice shall indicate the special circumstances requiring the extension of time and the date by which the Plan Administrator expects to render its decision. In no event shall the extension exceed an additional sixty (60) days from the end of the initial sixty (60) day period. If the extension of time is needed due to the claimant’s failure to submit information necessary to make a decision, the period during which the Plan Administrator must make a decision shall be tolled from the date the extension notice is sent to the claimant until the date the claimant responds to the request for additional information.
     11.3 Financial Statements. The Plan Administrator shall engage a “qualified public accountant” (as defined in Section 103(a)(3)(D) of ERISA) to prepare such audited financial statements of the operation of the Plan as shall be required by ERISA or by the Code.
     11.4 Liability of Plan Administrator. The Plan Administrator (and each member of any committee that serves as the Plan Administrator) shall not be liable for any act or omission on its own part, excepting only its own willful misconduct or gross negligence except as is otherwise expressly provided by ERISA. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable laws and to the extent not insured against by any insurance company pursuant to the provisions of any applicable insurance policy, the Company shall indemnify and save harmless the Plan Administrator (and each member of any committee that serves as the Plan Administrator) against any and all claims, demands, suits or proceedings in connection with the Plan and Trust Fund that may be brought by Participants or their spouses or other designated beneficiaries (or estates), Employees of participating Employers or by any other person, corporation, entity, government or agency thereof; provided, however, that such indemnification shall not apply with respect to acts or omissions of willful misconduct or gross negligence. The Company may, at the Company’s expense, settle any such claim or demand asserted or suit or proceeding brought against the Plan Administrator (or any member of any committee that serves as the Plan Administrator) when such settlement appears to be in the best interests of the Company.
     11.5 Standard of Judicial Review of Plan Administrator Action. The Plan Administrator has full and absolute discretion in the exercise of each and every aspect of the rights, power, authority and

61


 

duties retained or granted it under the Plan, including without limitation, the authority to determine all facts, to interpret this Plan, to apply the terms of this Plan to the facts determined, to make decisions based upon those facts and to make any and all other decisions required of it by this Plan, such as the right to benefits, the correct amount and form of benefits, the determination of any appeal, the review and correction of the actions of any prior administrative committee, and the other rights, powers, authority and duties specified in this Article and elsewhere in this Plan. Notwithstanding any provisions of law, or any explicit or implicit provision of this document, any action taken, or finding, interpretation, ruling or decision made by the Plan Administrator in the exercise of any of its rights, powers, authority or duties under this Plan shall be final and conclusive as to all parties, including, without limitation, all Participants, former Participants and beneficiaries, regardless of whether the Plan Administrator or one or more of its members may have an actual or potential conflict of interest with respect to the subject matter of the action, finding, interpretation, ruling or decision. No final action, finding, interpretation, ruling or decision of the Plan Administrator shall be subject to de novo review in any judicial proceeding. No final action, finding, interpretation, ruling or decision of the Plan Administrator may be set aside unless it is held to have been arbitrary and capricious by a final judgment of a court having jurisdiction with respect to the issue.
ARTICLE 12
MANAGEMENT OF THE TRUST FUND
     12.1 Designation of Trustee. All contributions shall be made to, and held in trust by, the Trustee of the Plan, who shall be appointed by the Plan Administrator, with such powers in the Trustee as to investment, reinvestment, control and disbursement of the Trust Fund as may be provided in the Trust Agreement and shall be in accordance with the Plan and permitted under ERISA and under the Code. The Plan Administrator may remove any Trustee at any time, with or without cause, upon reasonable notice, and upon such removal or upon the resignation of any Trustee, the Plan Administrator shall promptly designate a successor Trustee.
     12.2 Plan Assets Held in Trust.
          (a) All assets held by the Trustee under the Trust Fund shall be held in trust for the exclusive benefit of Participants or, if deceased, their spouses or other designated beneficiaries (or estates),

62


 

and no part of the corpus or income of the Trust Fund shall be used for, or diverted to, purposes other than for the exclusive benefit of such persons under the Plan or for the payment of reasonable expenses of administering the Plan; provided, however, that if any contribution is made by an Employer as the result of a mistake of fact made in good faith or is conditioned on the deductibility of such contribution under Section 404(a) of the Code, that Employer may direct the Trustee to return within one (1) year after the date of the payment or after the date the deduction is denied, whichever is applicable, the amount contributed by mistake of fact or the amount that is not deductible, whichever is applicable. Earnings attributable to any excess Employer contributions shall not be returned to that Employer, but losses shall reduce the amount to be returned. All contributions to the Plan are conditioned on their deductibility under Section 404 of the Code.
          (b) No person shall have any interest in or right to any part of the earnings of the Trust Fund, or any rights in, to or under the Trust Fund or any part of its assets except to the extent expressly provided in the Plan. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the spouse, former spouses, beneficiary or any other person claiming benefits on behalf of any Participant shall have absolutely no rights whatsoever under the Plan prior to the death of that Participant except as may otherwise be expressly provided under ERISA (e.g., spousal consent rights and qualified domestic relations orders).
     12.3 Appointment of Investment Manager.
          (a) The Investment Committee may appoint one or more investment managers to manage any assets of the Plan. As used herein, the term “investment manager” shall mean any person or entity who: (a) has power to manage, acquire or dispose of any assets of the Plan; (b) is (i) registered as an investment advisor under the Investment Advisors Act of 1940, (ii) a bank, as defined in that Act, or (iii) an insurance company qualified, under the laws of more than one state, to perform services described in (a) above; and (c) has acknowledged in a writing delivered to the Investment Committee and the Trustee that it is a fiduciary with respect to the Plan.
          (b) If the Investment Committee determines that there is a potential for a conflict of interest (or the appearance of a conflict of interest) relating to the operation and administration of the Plan with respect to the investment of the Plan’s assets in any of the Stock Funds and/or the provisions of

63


 

Sections 7.7 through 7.9 hereof, the Investment Committee, may, in its discretion, appoint one or more independent fiduciaries and/or investment managers (each, an “Independent Fiduciary”) to undertake all or a portion of the following duties and responsibilities:
               (i) serve as Plan fiduciary with sole responsibility for ensuring compliance with ERISA with respect to participant communications and disclosures relating to the applicable Stock Fund, including disclosures and communications relating to proxy voting; and

The Plan may be wholly or partially amended or otherwise modified at any time by the Board of Directors or Chief Executive Officer of the Company, or by the Plan Administrator with respect to Appendices I and II hereto. The Plan Administrator has the authority to amend or otherwise modify the Plan in all other respects, except for Plan amendments that would materially alter the cost of providing benefits under the Plan; provided, however, that:

64

          (b) no amendment or modification shall have any retroactive effect so as to deprive any person of any benefits already accrued, except that any amendment may be made retroactive which is necessary to bring the Plan into conformity with governmental regulations in order to retain the qualification of the Plan and Trust Fund under Sections 401(a), 401(k) and 501(a) of the Code or to meet the requirements of ERISA and other applicable laws;
          (c) no amendment or modification shall be made which substantially increases the duties or liabilities of the Trustee, the Plan Administrator, the Investment Committee or any Employer without the prior written consent of the party so affected; and
          (d) no amendment shall be made which changes the vesting requirements in Article 6 hereof or in Section 16.4 hereof, if applicable, unless each Participant whose Period of Service was at least three (3) years as of the effective date of such amendment is permitted to elect to remain under the pre-amendment vesting requirements with respect to all of his Plan benefits accrued both before and after the effective date of such amendment.

ARTICLE 14
DISCONTINUANCE OF THE PLAN
     14.1 Right To Terminate Plan. The Plan may be terminated, in whole or in part, at any time by the Board of Directors or Chief Executive Officer of the Company, but only upon condition that such action is taken as shall render it impossible for any part of the corpus or income of the Trust Fund to be used for, or diverted to, purposes other than for the exclusive benefit of the Participants or, if deceased, their spouses or other designated beneficiaries (or estates) under the Plan and for the payment of reasonable costs of administering the Plan, except as otherwise provided herein and permitted under ERISA and/or under the Code. In the event of any termination of the Plan, in whole or in part, or the complete discontinuance of contributions hereunder, the Employer Matching Contributions Account, Company Retirement Contributions Account and any Profit Sharing Contributions Account of each Participant affected by the partial or complete termination shall become fully vested and nonforfeitable.
     14.2 Valuation of Trust Fund upon Termination. If the Plan is terminated, in whole or in part, pursuant to Section 14.1, and the Board of Directors or Chief Executive Officer of the Company determines that the Trust Fund shall be terminated, the Trust Fund shall be revalued as of such date, and the current value of all Accounts shall be distributed in accordance with Article 9.
     14.3 Continuation of Trust. If the Plan is terminated, in whole or in part, pursuant to Section 14.1, but the Board of Directors or Chief Executive Officer of the Company determines that the Trust Fund shall be continued pursuant to its terms and the provisions of this Section, no further contributions shall be made by either the Participants or by the Employers, but the Trust Fund shall be administered as though the Plan were otherwise in full force and effect. If the Trust Fund is subsequently terminated, the provisions of Section 14.2 shall then apply.
     14.4 Plan Mergers and Transfers of Assets and Liabilities.
          (a) No merger or consolidation with, or transfer of assets or liabilities to, any other pension or retirement plan shall be made unless the benefits each Participant in the Plan would receive if the other plan were terminated immediately after such merger, consolidation or transfer of assets and liabilities would be at least as great as the benefits he would have received had the Plan been terminated immediately before such merger, consolidation or transfer.

66


 

          (b) The Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion, may at any time (i) transfer to an Affiliate Plan assets and liabilities relating to Participants who are covered by such Affiliate Plan and (ii) accept the transfer of assets and liabilities to this Plan from an Affiliate Plan with respect to Participants who have account balances under such Affiliate Plan. In the discretion of the Plan Administrator, and in accordance with rules prescribed by the Plan Administrator, assets may be transferred between this Plan and an Affiliate Plan either in cash or in-kind.
          (c) All transfers of account balances between this Plan and an Affiliate Plan and any merger of a Merged Plan into this Plan shall comply with Sections 411(a)(10) of the Code (relating to changes in vesting schedules) and 411(d)(6) of the Code (relating to reductions of accrued benefits and elimination of optional forms of benefit). To the extent that an Affiliate Plan or a Merged Plan provides an optional form of benefit with respect to all or a portion of an amount transferred to this Plan that is not otherwise available under this Plan, such optional form of benefit shall nonetheless be provided under this Plan with respect to such applicable portion of the transferred amount under the same terms and conditions as such optional form of benefit was provided under the transferee Affiliate Plan or Merged Plan as of the date of transfer, subject to such terms and conditions as the Plan Administrator may impose that are consistent with the requirements of Section 411(d)(6) of the Code. The Plan Administrator may establish such accounts and subaccounts as it deems necessary or appropriate to account for amounts transferred to the Plan pursuant to this Section 14.4(c). If the assets of any Merged Plan that are transferred to this Plan in connection with a Plan Merger include one or more loan notes evidencing one or more loans made to a participant in a Merged Plan, such loans shall be administered in accordance with their respective terms except to the extent determined otherwise by the Plan Administrator.
          (d) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 14.4(c) hereof, the merger of a Merged Plan into this Plan or the transfer of account balances from a Merged Plan to this Plan shall, as of the applicable Merger Date, constitute an amendment that (i) except as otherwise provided, is adopted and effective as of the applicable Merger Date and (ii) causes all optional forms of benefit made available under this Plan pursuant to Section 14.4(c) hereof that would not otherwise be available hereunder (each, a “Protected Benefit”) to cease to be available hereunder to a Participant to the maximum extent permitted under Treasury Regulation Section 1.411(d)-4, provided that (A) the amendment shall not apply with

67


 

respect to any distribution to a Participant with an annuity starting date that is earlier than the date on which such amendment is effective with respect to such Participant and (B) no Protected Benefit shall cease to be available hereunder to a Participant unless the Participant is entitled to elect to receive that portion of the Participant’s Account Balance that could otherwise be paid in the form of the Protected Benefit in the form of a single-sum distribution form that is otherwise identical (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.411(d)-4) to the Protected Benefit.
          (e) The amendments made to the Appendices of this Plan by the December 1, 2001 amendment and restatement of this Plan shall not apply with respect to any distribution to a Participant that occurs earlier than the earlier of (i) the 90th day after the date that the Participant has been furnished with a summary that reflects the amendments and that satisfies 29 C.F.R. 2520.104b-3, or (ii) January 1, 2003.
          14.5 Certain Spin-Offs and Mergers. Effective as of 11:59 P.M. December 31, 2004 the Walter Mortenson Profit Sharing Plan was merged with and into the Plan, with this Plan being the surviving plan.
ARTICLE 15
STATEMENT OF INTENT
     15.1 Qualification. The Plan and the related Trust Agreement are intended and designed to qualify under Sections 401(a), 401(k), and 501(a) of the Code and the Plan is hereby designated a profit sharing plan for purposes of Sections 401(a), 401(k), 402, 412 and 417 of the Code. Anything contained in the Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, if the Internal Revenue Service determines that the Plan and the related Trust Agreement do not meet the requirements of Sections 401(a), 401(k) and 501(a) of the Code, then the Plan Administrator shall be entitled to make such modifications, alterations and amendments of the Plan and the related Trust Agreement as are necessary to retain a favorable determination and such modifications, alterations and amendments may be effective retroactively to the extent required to retain a favorable determination. The Plan Administrator and/or the Company may, in their discretion, take any and all such actions as they deemed necessary or appropriate with respect to the administration and operation of the plan, including taking any corrective action authorized under the Internal Revenue Service Employee Plans Compliance Resolution Program (or any successor or similar program), for purposes of

68


 

maintaining the Plan’s and Trust’s compliance with the requirements of Sections 401(a), 401(k) and 501(a) of the Code.
     15.2 Section 404(c) of ERISA. This Plan is designed to satisfy the requirements of Section 404(c) (including 404(c)(5)) of ERISA and the regulations thereunder.
     15.3 Responsibility of Named Fiduciaries. It is declared to be the express purpose and intention of the Plan that each “named fiduciary” as such term is defined in Section 402(a)(2) of ERISA shall have individual responsibility for the prudent execution of the specific functions and duties assigned to him, and none of such responsibilities or any other responsibility shall be shared by two (2) or more of such named fiduciaries unless such sharing shall be provided by a specific provision of the Plan or of the Trust Agreement. Whenever one (1) named fiduciary is required by the Plan or by the Trust Agreement to follow the directions of another named fiduciary, the two (2) named fiduciaries shall not be deemed to have assigned a shared responsibility, but the responsibility of the named fiduciary giving the directions shall be deemed his sole responsibility, and the responsibility of the named fiduciary receiving those directions shall be to follow them insofar as such instructions are on their face proper under applicable law and not prohibited under Section 4975(c) of the Code or under Section 406 of ERISA.
     15.4 Legal Rights and Liabilities. It is further declared to be the express purpose and intention of the Plan that, except as otherwise provided by ERISA, no liability whatsoever shall attach to or be incurred by the shareholders, employees or directors of the Company or of any Employer or of any representatives appointed hereunder by the Board of Directors or Chief Executive Officer of the Company under or by reason of any of the terms and conditions of the Plan. Neither the establishment and maintenance of the Plan nor any provision or amendment thereof nor any act or omission under or resulting from the operation of the Plan shall be construed:
          (a) as conferring upon any Employee, Participant, spouse, beneficiary or any other person, firm, corporation or association, any legal or equitable right or claim against the Plan Administrator, the Company, any Employer, the Trustee, or any shareholder, officer, employee or director of any Employer, except to the extent that such right or claim shall be specifically and expressly provided in the Plan or provided by law. Any and all such rights and claims, whether arising by common law or in equity or created by statute, are hereby expressly waived and released to the fullest extent permitted by law

69


 

by every Employee on behalf of himself, his spouse or other beneficiary and any and all other persons who might claim through him as a condition of and as a part of the consideration for the contributions made by the Employers under the Plan and for the receipt of benefits hereunder;
          (b) as an agreement, consideration or inducement of employment or as affecting in any manner the rights or obligations of the Employers or of any Employee to continue or to terminate the employment relationship at any time; or
          (c) as creating any responsibility or liability of the Plan Administrator, the Employers or the Trustee for the validity or effect of the Plan or of any investment at any time included in the Trust Fund.
ARTICLE 16

TOP-HEAVY RULES
     16.1 Applicability of Rules. The rules set forth in this Article 16 shall be applicable with respect to any Plan Year in which the Plan is determined to be a Top-Heavy Plan. The provisions of this Article 16 shall be applied only to the extent necessary to comply with Section 416 of the Code and in a manner consistent with all requirements imposed under Section 416 of the Code.
     16.2 Determination of Top-Heavy Status. The Plan shall be considered a Top-Heavy Plan with respect to any Plan Year if as of the last calendar day of the immediately preceding Plan Year (the “determination date”):
          (a) The present value of the Accrued Benefits of key employees (as such term is defined below) exceeds sixty percent (60%) of the present value of the Accrued Benefits of all Participants and former Participants other than former key employees (as such term is defined below); provided, however, that the Accrued Benefits of any Participant who has not performed any services for the Group as an employee during a five (5) year period ending on the determination date (as such term is defined above) shall be disregarded; or
          (b) the Plan is part of a required aggregation group (as such term is defined below) and the required aggregation group is top-heavy; provided, however, that the Plan shall not be considered a Top-Heavy Plan with respect to any Plan Year in which the Plan is part of a required or permissive aggregation group (as such terms are defined below) which is not top-heavy. For purposes of this Article

70


 

16, the term “key employee” shall have the meaning prescribed in Section 416(i) of the Code and the regulations thereunder.
          (c) For purposes of this Article 16, the term “required aggregation group” shall include:
               (i) all qualified retirement plans maintained by the Group in which a key employee (as such term is defined above) is a participant, and
               (ii) any other qualified retirement plans maintained by the Group which enable any qualified retirement plan described in the preceding clause (i) above to meet the requirements of Section 401(a)(4) or of Section 410 of the Code.
          (d) For purposes of this Article 16, the term “permissive aggregation group” shall include all qualified retirement plans that are part of a required aggregation group (as such term is defined above) and any other qualified retirement plans maintained by the Group if such group will continue to meet the requirements of Sections 401(a)(4) and 410 of the Code.
          (e) Solely for the purpose of determining if the Plan, or any other plan included in a required aggregation group of which the Plan is a part, is top-heavy (within the meaning of Section 416(g) of the Code), the Accrued Benefits of an Employee other than a key employee shall be determined under:
               (i) the method, if any, that uniformly applies for accrual purposes under all plans maintained by the Group, or
               (ii) if there is no such method, as if such benefit accrued not more rapidly than the slowest accrual rate permitted under the fractional accrual rule of Section 411(b)(1)(C) of the Code.
     16.3 Determination of Accrued Benefits. For purposes of this Article 16, Accrued Benefits with respect to any Plan Year shall be determined as of the determination date (as such term is defined in Section 16.2) for that Plan Year based on Account balances as of the most recent Valuation Date within a consecutive twelve (12) month period ending on such determination date; provided, however, that such Account balances shall be adjusted to the extent required by Section 416 of the Code to increase such Account balances by the amount of any Employer or Participant contributions and of any rollovers or plan-to-plan transfers (other than rollovers or plan-to-plan transfers which are initiated by a Participant from any

71


 

qualified retirement plan maintained by an unrelated employer after December 31, 1983) made and allocated after the Valuation Date but on or before such determination date and by any distributions made to Participants prior to the Valuation Date during any of the five (5) consecutive Years immediately preceding the Plan Year for which the determination as to whether the Plan is a Top-Heavy Plan is being made (including distributions from a terminated plan which, if not terminated, would have been part of a required aggregation group (as such term is defined in Section 16.2)) and to reduce such Account balances by any rollovers or plan-to-plan transfers made to the Plan on or before the Valuation Date which are initiated by a Participant from any qualified retirement plan maintained by an unrelated employer.
     16.4 Vesting for Top-Heavy Years. Notwithstanding the provisions of Article 6, with respect to any Plan Year in which the Plan is determined to be a Top-Heavy Plan, a Participant’s Accrued Benefit which is derived from Employer Retirement or Matching contributions shall vest in accordance with the following vesting schedule unless such Participant’s vested benefit percentage, as determined under Article 6, is greater:
     
Period of Service
  Vested Percentage of Employer Account Shall Be
Less than three (3) years
  zero percent (0%)
Three (3) years or more
  one hundred percent (100%)
provided, however, that if the Plan becomes a Top-Heavy Plan and subsequently ceases to be such, the vesting schedule shown above shall continue to apply but only with respect to those Participants whose Period of Service is equal to or greater than three (3) years as of the last calendar day of the final Top-Heavy Year.
     16.5 Contributions for Top-Heavy Years. With respect to any Plan Year in which the Plan is a Top-Heavy Plan, the minimum amount of Employer contributions to be allocated to the Accounts of any Employee who is eligible to be a Participant (including forfeitures constructively allocated to that Participant’s Accounts and any employer contributions and forfeitures allocated to that Participant under any other qualified defined contribution plans maintained by the Group but, effective on and after

72


 

January 1, 1989, excluding any employee elective contributions) who had not separated from service with the Group as of the last calendar day of that Plan Year, regardless of the number of Hours of Service completed by that Participant during that Plan Year, or whether the Employee declines to make mandatory contributions (if the Plan otherwise requires same) and who is not a key employee (as such term is defined in Section 16.2) for that Plan Year, shall not be less than three percent (3%) of that Participant’s Section 415 Compensation in that Plan Year; provided, however, that the percentage of Section 415 Compensation allocated to the Employer Matching Contributions Account, Company Retirement Contributions Account, and Qualified Nonelective Contributions Account of any Participant who is not a key employee (as such term is defined in Section 16.2) under this Article with respect to that Plan Year shall not exceed the highest percentage of Section 415 Compensation allocated to the Employer Matching Contributions Account, Company Retirement Contributions Account, and Qualified Nonelective Contributions Account of any Participant who is a key employee in that Plan Year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that an Employee who is otherwise entitled to a minimum benefit equal to three percent (3%) of his Section 415 Compensation pursuant to this Section is a participant in a defined benefit plan that is a part of this Plan’s required or permissive aggregation group, such Employee shall only be entitled to a combined benefit (determined in accordance with the requirements of Treasury Regulation § 1.416-1, Q&A M-12) under the plans equal to the minimum benefit required under the defined benefit plan pursuant to Section 416 of the Code.
     16.6 Certain Changes Effective January 1, 2002.
          (a) This Section 16.7 shall apply for purposes of determining whether the plan is a top-heavy plan under Section 416(g) of the Code for Plan Years beginning after December 31, 2001, and whether the Plan satisfies the minimum benefits requirements of Section 416(c) of the Code for such years. This Section modifies the foregoing provisions of this Article 16.
          (b) The term “key employee” means any employee or former employee (including any deceased employee) who at any time during the Plan Year that includes the determination date was an officer of the employer having annual Section 415 Compensation greater than $130,000 (as adjusted under Section 416(i)(1) of the Code for Plan Years beginning after December 31, 2002), a five-percent owner of the employer, or a one-percent owner of the employer having annual Section 415 Compensation of more

73


 

than $150,000. The determination of who is a key employee will be made in accordance with Section 416(i)(1) of the Code and the applicable regulations and other guidance of general applicability issued thereunder.
          (c) This Section 16.7(c) shall apply for purposes of determining the present values of accrued benefits and the amounts of account balances of employees as of the determination date.
               (i) The present values of accrued benefits and the amounts of account balances of an employee as of the determination date shall be increased by the distributions made with respect to the employee under the Plan and any plan aggregated with the Plan under Section 416(g)(2) of the Code during the one-year period ending on the determination date. The preceding sentence shall also apply to distributions under a terminated plan which, had it not been terminated, would have been aggregated with the Plan under Section 416(g)(2)(A)(i) of the Code. In the case of a distribution made for a reason other than separation from service, death, or disability, this provision shall be applied by substituting “five-year period” for “one-year period.”
               (ii) The accrued benefits and accounts of any individual who has not performed services for the employer during the one-year period ending on the determination date shall not be taken into account.
          (d) Employer matching contributions shall be taken into account for purposes of satisfying the minimum contribution requirements of Section 416(c)(2) of the Code and the Plan. The preceding sentence shall apply with respect to matching contributions under the Plan or, if the Plan provides that the minimum contribution requirement shall be met in another plan, such other plan. Employer matching contributions that are used to satisfy the minimum contribution requirements shall be treated as matching contributions for purposes of the actual contribution percentage test and other requirements of Section 401(m) of the Code.
          (e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that an employee who is otherwise entitled to a minimum benefit equal to three percent (3%) of his Section 415 Compensation pursuant to this Section is a participant in a defined benefit plan that is a part of this Plan’s required or permissive aggregation group, such employee shall only be entitled to a combined benefit (determined in accordance

74


 

with the requirements of Treasury Regulation § 1.416-1, Q&A M-12) under the plans equal to the minimum benefit required under the defined benefit plan pursuant to Section 416 of the Code.
ARTICLE 17
GENERAL PROVISIONS
     17.1 Nonalienation of Benefits.
          (a) To the fullest extent permitted by law, no benefits under the Plan shall be subject in any manner, voluntarily or involuntarily, to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, garnishment, encumbrance or charge, and any action by way of anticipation, alienation, selling, transferring, assigning, pledging, garnishing, encumbering or charging the same shall be void and of no effect, and no such benefits shall be in any manner liable for or subject to the debts, contracts, liabilities, engagements or torts of the person entitled to such benefits. The preceding sentence shall also apply to the creation, assignment or recognition of a right to any benefit payable with respect to any Participant or to any beneficiary under the Plan pursuant to a domestic relations order, unless such order is determined to be a qualified domestic relations order as defined in Section 414(p) of the Code. The Plan Administrator shall establish such procedures for evaluating and determining the status of any domestic relations order and shall give due notice to any affected parties (Participants and alternate payees) as required by law.
          (b) Subject to any applicable provision of law to the contrary, if any Participant or any beneficiary under the Plan shall become bankrupt or attempt to anticipate, alienate, sell, transfer, assign, pledge, garnish, encumber or charge any benefits, then such benefits shall, in the sole discretion of the Plan Administrator, cease and terminate. In that event, the Plan Administrator shall hold or apply the benefits or any part thereof to or for such Participant or beneficiary, his spouse or children or other dependents, or any of them, in such manner and in such proportions as the Plan Administrator shall, in its sole discretion, determine. This Section shall not be construed in such a manner as to permit the Plan Administrator to make any assignment or otherwise to alienate any benefits in contravention of requirements under the Code or under ERISA.
     17.2 No Right to Continued Employment. The establishment of the Plan shall not be construed as conferring any rights upon any person for a continuation of employment, nor shall it be

75


 

construed as limiting in any way the right of an Employer to discharge any person or to treat him without regard to the effect which such treatment might have upon him as a Participant under the Plan.
     17.3 Rules of Construction.
          (a) The masculine pronoun wherever used shall include the feminine pronoun and the singular shall include the plural unless the context clearly indicates the distinction.
          (b) The headings of Articles and Sections herein are included solely for convenience of reference and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of any of the provisions of this Plan.
          (c) Amendments made to this Plan from time to time, including amendments made pursuant to amendments and restatements of this Plan, shall be effective and apply as of such dates, and shall apply with respect to such Employees, Participants, and their beneficiaries, as shall be specified in such amendments at the time of adoption, and the Plan shall be construed and applied accordingly.
     17.4 Appendices. Appendices to this Plan shall constitute a part of this Plan and, to the extent provided therein, may establish special rules that apply to specified groups of Employees or Participants in lieu of Plan terms that would otherwise apply.
ARTICLE 18
LAPSED BENEFITS
     18.1 Notification to Participants and Beneficiaries.
          (a) If the Trustee mails by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, to a Participant or beneficiary entitled to a distribution hereunder at his last known address, a notification that he is so entitled and said notification is returned as being undeliverable because the addressee cannot be located at said address, then the Plan shall continue to maintain the Participant’s Accounts which are invested in the various funds.
          (b) If, by the last day of the Plan Year coinciding with or immediately following the fifth (5th) anniversary of the date as of which such person first could not be located, said person has not informed the Trustee of his whereabouts, his entire interest in this Plan shall become a forfeiture and shall be used to reduce any subsequent contributions required by his Employer as provided in Section 6.4 hereof

76


 

for the Plan Year in which it occurs. Thereafter such person shall have no further right or interest therein except as provided in Section 18.2.
     18.2 Reinstatement of Lapsed Benefits.
          (a) If a Participant or beneficiary prior to the Plan Year in which the Plan and Trust terminate, duly claims and proves entitlement to a benefit which otherwise lapsed pursuant to Section 18.1, such benefits as shall then be due, unadjusted for Trust Fund earnings and/or losses subsequent to the date of forfeiture, shall be paid by the Plan as soon as is administratively feasible.
          (b) The reinstatement of lapsed benefits shall first be derived from forfeitures which otherwise are allocable in the Plan Year of the reinstatement to be made pursuant to this Section 18.2 and if such forfeitures are not sufficient, such reinstatement to the extent necessary shall then next be made from Employer contributions.

1. General Rules.
     1.1 Effective Date. The provisions of this Appendix will apply for purposes of determining required minimum distributions for calendar years beginning with the 2003 calendar year.
     1.2 Precedence. The requirements of this Appendix will take precedence over any inconsistent provisions of the Plan.

2. Time and Manner of Distribution.
     2.1 Required Beginning Date. The Participant’s entire interest will be distributed, or begin to be distributed, to the Participant no later than the Participant’s Required Beginning Date.
     2.2 Death of Participant Before Distributions Begin. If the Participant dies before distributions begin, the Participant’s entire interest will be distributed, or begin to be distributed, no later than as follows:
          (a) If the Participant’s surviving spouse is the Participant’s sole Designated Beneficiary, then, except as provided in Section 6 hereof, distributions to the surviving spouse will begin by December 31 of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which the Participant died, or by December 31 of the calendar year in which the Participant would have attained age 701/2, if later.
          (b) If the Participant’s surviving spouse is not the Participant’s sole Designated Beneficiary, then, except as provided in Section 6 hereof, distributions to the Designated Beneficiary will

 


 

begin by December 31 of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which the Participant died.
          (c) If there is no Designated Beneficiary as of September 30 of the year following the year of the Participant’s death, the Participant’s entire interest will be distributed by December 31 of the calendar year containing the fifth anniversary of the Participant’s death.
          (d) If the Participant’s surviving spouse is the Participant’s sole Designated Beneficiary and the surviving spouse dies after the Participant but before distributions to the surviving spouse begin, this Section 2.2, other than Section 2.2(a), will apply as if the surviving spouse were the Participant.
For purposes of this Section 2.2 and Section 4 hereof, unless Section 2.2(d) hereof applies, distributions are considered to begin on the Participant’s Required Beginning Date. If Section 2.2(d) hereof applies, distributions are considered to begin on the date distributions are required to begin to the surviving spouse under Section 2.2(a) hereof. If distributions under an annuity purchased from an insurance company irrevocably commence to the Participant before the Participant’s Required Beginning Date (or to the Participant’s surviving spouse before the date distributions are required to begin to the surviving spouse under Section 2.2(a) hereof), the date distributions are considered to begin is the date distributions actually commence.
     2.3 Forms of Distribution. Unless the Participant’s interest is distributed in the form of an annuity purchased from an insurance company or in a single sum on or before the Required Beginning Date, as of the first Distribution Calendar Year, distributions will be made in accordance with Sections 3 and 4 hereof. If the Participant’s interest is distributed in the form of an annuity purchased from an insurance company, distributions thereunder will be made in accordance with the requirements of Code Section 401(a)(9) and the Treasury Regulations.
3. Required Minimum Distributions During Participant’s Lifetime.
     3.1 Amount of Required Minimum Distribution for Each Distribution Calendar Year. During the Participant’s lifetime, the minimum amount that will be distributed for each Distribution Calendar Year is the lesser of:

          (a) the quotient obtained by dividing the Participant’s Account Balance by the distribution period in the Uniform Lifetime Table set forth in Section 1.401(a)(9)-9 of the Treasury Regulations, using the Participant’s age as of the Participant’s birthday in the Distribution Calendar Year; or
          (b) if the Participant’s sole Designated Beneficiary for the Distribution Calendar Year is the Participant’s spouse, the quotient obtained by dividing the Participant’s Account Balance by the number in the Joint and Last Survivor Table set forth in Section 1.401(a)(9)-9 of the Treasury Regulations, using the Participant’s and spouse’s attained ages as of the Participant’s and spouse’s birthdays in the Distribution Calendar Year.
     3.2 Lifetime Required Minimum Distributions Continue Through Year of Participant’s Death. Required minimum distributions will be determined under this Section 3 beginning with the first Distribution Calendar Year and up to and including the Distribution Calendar Year that includes the Participant’s date of death.
4. Required Minimum Distributions After Participant’s Death.
     4.1 Death on or After Date Distributions Begin.
          (a) Participant Survived by Designated Beneficiary. If the Participant dies on or after the date distributions begin and there is a Designated Beneficiary, the minimum amount that will be distributed for each Distribution Calendar Year after the year of the Participant’s death is the quotient obtained by dividing the Participant’s Account Balance by the longer of the remaining Life Expectancy of the Participant or the remaining Life Expectancy of the Participant’s Designated Beneficiary, determined as follows:
               (i) The Participant’s remaining Life Expectancy is calculated using the age of the Participant in the year of death, reduced by one for each subsequent year.
               (ii) If the Participant’s surviving spouse is the Participant’s sole Designated Beneficiary, the remaining Life Expectancy of the surviving spouse is calculated for each Distribution Calendar Year after the year of the Participant’s death using the surviving spouse’s age as of the spouse’s birthday in that year. For Distribution Calendar Years after the year of the surviving spouse’s death, the remaining Life Expectancy of the surviving spouse is calculated using the age of the surviving spouse as of

3


 

the spouse’s birthday in the calendar year of the spouse’s death, reduced by one for each subsequent calendar year.
               (iii) If the Participant’s surviving spouse is not the Participant’s sole Designated Beneficiary, the Designated Beneficiary’s remaining Life Expectancy is calculated using the age of the Beneficiary in the year following the year of the Participant’s death, reduced by one for each subsequent year.
          (b) No Designated Beneficiary. If the Participant dies on or after the date distributions begin and there is no Designated Beneficiary as of September 30 of the year after the year of the Participant’s death, the minimum amount that will be distributed for each Distribution Calendar Year after the year of the Participant’s death is the quotient obtained by dividing the Participant’s Account Balance by the Participant’s remaining Life Expectancy calculated using the age of the Participant in the year of death, reduced by one for each subsequent year.
     4.2 Death Before Date Distributions Begin.
          (a) Participant Survived by Designated Beneficiary. Except as provided in Section 6 hereof, if the Participant dies before the date distributions begin and there is a Designated Beneficiary, the minimum amount that will be distributed for each Distribution Calendar Year after the year of the Participant’s death is the quotient obtained by dividing the Participant’s Account Balance by the remaining Life Expectancy of the Participant’s Designated Beneficiary, determined as provided in Section 4.1 hereof.
          (b) No Designated Beneficiary. If the Participant dies before the date distributions begin and there is no Designated Beneficiary as of September 30 of the year following the year of the Participant’s death, distribution of the Participant’s entire interest will be completed by December 31 of the calendar year containing the fifth anniversary of the Participant’s death.
          (c) Death of Surviving Spouse Before Distributions to Surviving Spouse Are Required to Begin. If the Participant dies before the date distributions begin, the Participant’s surviving spouse is the Participant’s sole Designated Beneficiary, and the surviving spouse dies before distributions are required to begin to the surviving spouse under Section 2.2(a) hereof, this Section 4.2 will apply as if the surviving spouse were the Participant.
