Subject to the terms of this Section 4, the Bonus Pool credit made by the Company for a Plan Year (if any) shall be allocated to the Accounts of the Participants entitled to receive an allocation for such Plan Year on a pro-rata basis based upon the number of such Participants; provided, however, that (a) if an individual was admitted to the President’s Circle on or after January 1 and prior to July 1 of the Plan Year for which a Bonus Pool credit is being allocated, that Participant shall receive only a fifty percent (50%) allocation of the amount otherwise allocable to him or to her for that Plan Year, and (b) if an individual was admitted to the President’s Circle after June 30 of the Plan Year for which a Bonus Pool credit is being allocated, that Participant shall receive no allocation for that Plan Year; and, further provided, however, that a Participant shall not receive any allocation pursuant to this Section 4.3 if such Participant is not a member of the President’s Circle on the last day of the Plan Year for which such allocation is being made.

4.4 Periodic Payment of Bonus Pool Awards. On July 1 of each year or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter but not later than September 15 of such year, each Participant may receive a single sum cash payment from the Plan equal to twenty-five percent (25%) of his or her Account balance as of July 1 of such year. The Committee shall have sole discretion to determine if an executive officer of the Company will receive such a payment and the Committee (unless delegated to the executive officers of the Company pursuant to Section 3) shall have sole discretion to determine if any other Participant shall receive such a payment.

4.6 Payment of Account Balance upon Change in Control. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, a Participant’s entire Account balance shall be paid to the Participant in a single sum cash payment upon a Change in Control and the Plan shall terminate. Such payment shall be made at the time that the transaction giving rise to the Change in Control is closed.

4.7 Forfeiture of Account. A Participant’s entire Account balance shall be immediately forfeited upon termination of employment for any reason other than death.

The Committee may terminate, modify or amend the Plan at any time and any such amendment or modification to, or termination of, the Plan may reduce or eliminate any Participant’s Account balance or otherwise eliminate rights granted or benefits accrued under the Plan without the consent of the affected Participant. Except to the extent permitted under Section 409A of the Code, Plan termination will not accelerate the distribution of any Plan benefits. Instead, Plan benefits will be distributed on the dates the Plan benefits would have been paid had the Plan not been terminated.

5.3 No Right to Continued Employment or Bonus. Nothing in this Plan shall be construed as conferring upon any Participant any right to continue in the employment of the Company. No Participant shall have any claim that the Company is obligated to make a Bonus Pool credit or payment to any Participant for any Plan Year.

5.4 Tax and Benefits Withholding. The Company will withhold from the amounts distributed to a Participant pursuant to the Plan an amount sufficient to satisfy all applicable federal, state and local withholding tax requirements and shall withhold any amount it is required to withhold pursuant to the terms of the Company’s employee benefit plans.

5.5 Severability. If any provision of this Plan is held unenforceable, the remainder of the Plan shall continue in full force and effect without regard to such unenforceable provision and shall be applied as though the unenforceable provision were not contained in the Plan.

5.6 No Funding. Amounts payable under the Plan are payable only from the general assets of the Company and the accrual of benefits under the Plan shall constitute an unfunded, unsecured promise by the Company to pay such amounts. No trust is created under the Plan to hold any assets.
