     (b) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding:

Benefits

     Section 3.1. Amount of Benefits. Unless otherwise provided in an Appendix to this Plan, the amount of benefits payable under the Plan shall be as follows:

     (a) The benefit payable hereunder upon Separation from Service under conditions resulting in benefit eligibility under Section 2.2 shall be determined as follows:

          (i) Benefits for periods of participation after April 30, 2004 shall accrue according to a cash balance formula based on a monthly Pay Credit to the Member’s Account equal to a specified percentage of the Member’s monthly Compensation, with the balance credited to the Account being increased each month by an Interest Credit. The benefit at retirement with respect to periods after April 30, 2004 shall be equal to the amount credited to the Member’s Account at the time of Separation from Service with the Employers.

               (A) The Pay Credit to each Member’s Account for each month shall be made on the last day of each month. The amount of each Pay Credit shall be determined as a percentage of the Member’s monthly Compensation, the applicable percentage being based on the Member’s AIP bonus category, as set forth in the following table:

AIP Bonus Category		Percentage of Monthly Compensation
A, B, and C			8	%
D and E			7	%
F and G			6	%

If any Member is not currently assigned to a bonus category under AIP, the applicable percentage for such Member shall be 6%. The first Pay Credit for the Account of a person who was a Member of the Plan on May 1, 2004 shall be made as of May 31.

               (B) The Interest Credit to each Member’s Account shall be 5%, compounded monthly, subject to periodic review. The first Interest

Credit shall be made as of the end of the first month commencing after a Pay Credit has been made to the Member’s Account.

          (ii) For a person who was a Member as of April 30, 2004, the benefit accruing after April 30, 2004 according to (i) above shall be increased by the amount of the Member’s benefit attributable to periods before May 1, 2004, which shall be equal to (A) below reduced (but not below zero) by the offsets specified in (B) below:

               (A) The multiple of the Member’s Final Average Compensation (“FAC”) at the date of Separation from Service with the Employers and the Member’s Continuous Service during periods before May 1, 2004 determined according to the table attached hereto and made a part hereof as Exhibit A.

               (B) The applicable offsets are:

                    (I) the Plan A Benefit;

                    (II) the RSP Company Account Benefit; and

                    (III) the Actuarial Equivalent Value of the Employer-funded portion of any benefit payable as an annuity or from any lump sum payment in lieu of an annuity from any retirement plan of the Employer, domestic or foreign.

     (b) In the case of death of a Member while actively employed (or after Separation from Service and before payment has been made pursuant to Section 3.2) who would have been entitled upon Separation from Service on the date of his death to a benefit described in subsection (a) above, the deceased Member’s surviving Spouse shall receive a lump sum payment equal to the lump sum retirement benefit to which the Member would have been entitled if the Member had retired on the date of death.

     (c) In addition to the benefits determined under Section 3.1, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company as of May 6, 2002 shall be entitled to the Special Enhancement described in Appendix I.

     (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the benefit payable under this Plan to a Member who was terminated from employment involuntarily after having

attained age 55, as a result of Project Dance initiatives, Logistics and Warehouse outsourcing, or the Fiscal Year 2006 restructuring initiatives, and who was ineligible to receive the enhancements described in paragraph 7.10, 7.11, or 7.12 of Plan A solely because such Member met the eligibility requirements of Section 2.1 of this Plan, but who satisfied all of the other requirements of paragraph 7.10(a), 7.11(a), or 7.12(a) of Plan A, shall be entitled to the supplement described in Section A of Appendix III, in addition to any other benefits payable under
Section 3.1(a).

     (e) In the case of a Member described in Section 2.2(b)(ii), the benefit payable hereunder upon Separation from Service shall be determined under Section B of Appendix III.

     Section 3.2. Payment of Benefits. The Plan benefit payable to a Member or surviving Spouse shall be paid from the general assets of the Employer. Payment shall be made in a single cash lump following Separation from Service, as specified below:

     (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 6.8, and subparagraph (b) below, payment shall be made within the 90 day period following a Member’s Separation from Service (provided, however, that if this 90 day period overlaps two taxable years of the Member the Member does not have the right to designate the taxable year of the payment), provided that if calculation of the amount of the payment is not administratively practicable due to events beyond the control of the Member or his estate, payment may be delayed until a date within the first calendar year in which payment is administratively practicable.

     (b) Notwithstanding (a) above, effective January 1, 2005, in the case of a Key Employee, payment shall not be made before the earlier of: (i) the date that is 6 months after the date of Separation from Service, or (ii) the date of the Key Employee’s death. Payments that are delayed as a result of this requirement shall be increased by interest from the date that is one month after the date of Separation from Service to the date of payment at the applicable rate then in effect under Section 3.1(a)(i)(B).

Anything in the Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, no distribution shall be made that would cause the Plan, or any other plan or arrangement maintained by the Employers, to incur any of the failures described by Code section 409A(a)(1).

     Section 3.3. Benefits in Cases of Reemployment. A Member who was reemployed after having received a lump sum payment of his accrued benefit under the Plan shall accrue benefits under the Plan as a new Member. In the case of a Member who terminated employment at a time when he had no vested right to the benefit accrued under the Plan and who is subsequently reemployed, the Plan benefit attributable to the prior period of employment shall be zero unless the Office of the Chairman determines under the circumstances that some or all of such accrued benefit shall be reinstated.

ARTICLE 4
Administration

     Section 4.1. EBAB The general administration and responsibility for carrying out the provisions of the Plan shall be placed with EBAB. Membership in EBAB shall not disqualify an Employee from participation in the Plan.

     Section 4.2. Powers. In addition to any implied powers needed to carry out the provisions of the Plan, EBAB shall have the following specific powers, subject to the provisions of Section 6.8:

     (a) To make and enforce such rules and regulations and procedures as it shall deem necessary or proper for the efficient administration of the Plan and to design written forms or other documents to implement such rules, regulations and procedures.

     (f) To determine benefit eligibility under the Plan, to interpret Plan provisions, and to take any action necessary to execute the provisions of the Plan.

All such authority shall be exercised in a manner consistent with the provisions of the Plan. All interpretations, determinations, and decisions of EBAB in respect of any matter hereunder shall be final, conclusive, and binding upon the Employees, Members, and Spouses and all other persons claiming an interest under the Plan.

     Section 4.3. Quorum and EBAB Actions. A majority of the members of EBAB shall have the power to act with or without a meeting and the concurrence of any member may be by letter, wire, cablegram, telephone, facsimile, or other telephonic or electronic transmission.

The Company shall obtain insurance or indemnify the members of EBAB for any and all liability, whether joint or several, for their acts and conduct, or the acts or conduct of their agents, in their official capacity, to the fullest extent permitted or authorized by current or future legislation or by current or future judicial or administrative decision.

     Section 4.5. Facility of Payment. Whenever, in EBAB’s opinion, a person entitled to receive any payment of a benefit hereunder is under legal disability or is incapacitated in any way so as to be unable to manage his financial affairs, EBAB may direct the Employer to make payments to such person or to his legal representative or to a relative or friend of such person for his benefit or to apply the payment for the benefit of such person in such manner as EBAB considers advisable.

     Section 4.6. Expenses. The Company shall pay all expenses of administering the Plan.

ARTICLE 5

In making any payment of benefits after termination of the Plan, any and all determinations by EBAB as to timing and amount shall be final and conclusive.

     Section 6.3. Authorization for Trust. Notwithstanding Section 6.2, the Company may, but shall not be required to, establish one or more trusts for the purpose of providing for the payment of Plan benefits. Such trust or trusts may be irrevocable, but the assets thereof shall be subject to the claims of the Employer’s creditors.

     Section 6.4. No Employment Rights.

     Section 6.5. Benefits Not Assignable. No right or interest of any Member or Spouse in the Plan shall be assignable or transferable, or subject to any lien, in whole or in part, either directly or by operation of law, or otherwise, including, but not by way of limitation, execution, levy, garnishment, attachment, pledge, bankruptcy, or in any other manner, and no right or interest of any Member or Spouse in the Plan shall be liable for, or be subject to, any obligation or liability of such Member or Spouse.

     Section 6.6. Laws Applicable. The Plan shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, to the extent not inconsistent with any applicable provision of ERISA, provided that it is intended that the Plan shall be construed so as not to incur any of the

     Section 6.8. Compliance with Code Section 409A. It is intended that amounts deferred under this Plan will not be taxable under Code section 409A.

The Plan is designed to comply with Code section 409A (without incurring penalties). In the event of an inconsistency between the terms of the Plan and Code section 409A, the terms of Code section 409A shall control.

ARTICLE 7
Claims Procedure

     Section 7.1. Disposition of Claim. EBAB shall furnish written notice of disposition of a claim to the claimant within 30 days after the claimant has filed application therefor.

CEO ADDITIONAL BENEFIT

In addition to the benefits otherwise payable as determined pursuant to Section 3.1, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company as of May 6, 2002 shall be entitled to additional benefits under this Plan determined according to this Appendix I.

A.

The amount of the additional benefit, expressed as an annual straight life annuity of equivalent value, shall be determined from the following table based on Continuous Service after May 6, 2002 and Final Average Compensation (FAC), subject to the limit set forth in B. below and the conditions set forth in C. below:

Continuous Service after
May 6, 2002 to the
Nearest Whole Year		Percentage of FAC
less than 1 year			0
1 year			3.85	%
2 years			7.70	%
3 years			11.55	%
4 years			15.40	%
5 years			19.25	%
6 years			23.10	%
7 or more years			26.95	%

B.

The amount of the additional benefit shall be limited to an amount that produces an annual straight life annuity of equivalent value that does not exceed 60% of Final Average Compensation, reduced by the sum of the following annual benefits determined on the basis of a straight life annuity commencing upon retirement at age 60: (i) an annual straight life annuity of equivalent value to the benefit provided under this Plan without regard to this Appendix I; (ii) an annual straight life annuity of equivalent value to the Plan A Benefit; (iii) an annual straight life annuity of equivalent value to the RSP Company Account Benefit; and (iv) the annual straight life annuity payable from any other retirement plan of the Employer, domestic or foreign (or, if any such plan does not provide for such an annuity, an annual straight life annuity of equivalent value to the

lump sum benefit provided under such plan). Calculations of equivalent value shall be made using the factors and assumptions that are determined in accordance with Plan A.

C.

No amount shall be payable pursuant to this Appendix I if there is an interruption of Continuous Service before May 6, 2007. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if Continuous Service is involuntarily terminated other than for cause (as such term is defined in the Stock Incentive Plan), benefits under this Appendix I shall be payable on the basis of the table in A. above, based on Continuous Service to the date of termination, subject to the limit set forth in B. above.

D. The annuity amount determined under A. above, after applying the limitations and conditions set forth in B. and C. above, shall be payable as a single sum of Actuarial Equivalent Value, pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.2.
