SECTION 4

 

DISTRIBUTION; VESTING

 

4.1 Time and Manner of Distribution

 

The amount to which the Participant or Beneficiary is entitled under this Plan will be paid at such time and in such manner as benefits are being paid to the Participant or Beneficiary under the ISP or, as applicable, the RSP; provided, however, that no amount will be paid hereunder prior to the Participant’s retirement, death or other separation from service or, if earlier, the Participant’s entitlement to payment of any amount under the ISP or RSP by reason of disability.

 

4.2 Hardship Distribution

 

At its sole discretion and at the request of a Participant before and after the Participant’s cessation of employment with the Employer, or at the request of any of the Participant’s Beneficiaries after the Participant’s death, the Committee may accelerate and pay all or part of any amount of a Participant’s Account under this Plan on account of Hardship.

4.3 Vesting

SECTION 5

 

INVESTMENT FUNDS

 

Amounts credited to a Participant’s Account under this Plan will be deemed to be invested in the same investment fund or funds selected by the Participant under the ISP or, as applicable, the RSP (as in effect at the time that contribution would have been made on the Participant’s behalf under the ISP or RSP were it not for the limitations described in Section 3 of the Plan). In the event that a Participant elects to change the investment of amounts accumulated under the ISP or, as applicable, the RSP, such change will be applicable proportionally to amounts held in the Participant’s Account under this Plan. A Participant’s Account will be valued daily.

 

SECTION 6

 

CHANGES TO LIMITATIONS OF CONTRIBUTIONS AND BENEFITS

 

When Code sections are referenced in the Plan, it is intended that these references will be to such sections as they may be amended from time to time, in order that the determination of benefits payable under the Plan will take into account any amendments to limitations of contributions or benefits imposed by Section 402 or Section 415 of the Code. However, references in the Plan to Section 415(c) of the Code will also reference Section 415(d) of the Code with the amounts therein adjusted pursuant to Section 415(d) of the Code.

 

SECTION 7

 

TRUST FUND

 

No assets of the Corporation or any Employer will be segregated or earmarked in respect to any benefits, and all such benefits will constitute unsecured contractual obligations of the Employer. If the Corporation chooses to contribute to the Trust to offset its obligation under this Plan, all assets or property held by the Trust will at all times remain subject to the claims of the general creditors of the Corporation or any Employer.

SECTION 8

 

CLAIMS PROCEDURE

 

8.1 Initial Claim

 

Claims for benefits under the Plan will be filed with the Plan Manager. If any Participant or Beneficiary claims to be entitled to a benefit under the Plan and the Plan Manager determines that such claim should be denied in whole or in part, the Plan Manager will notify such person of the Plan Manager’s decision in writing. Such notification will be written in a manner calculated to be understood by such person 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 such person to perfect such claim and an explanation of why such material or information is necessary, and (iv) information as to the steps to be taken if the person wishes to submit a request for review. Such notification will be given within 90 days after the claim is received by the Plan Manager. If such notification is not given within such period, the claim will be considered denied as of the last day of such period and such person may request a review of his or her claim.

 

8.2 Review Procedure

 

Within 60 days after the date on which a Participant or Beneficiary receives a written notice of a denied claim (or, if applicable, within 60 days after the date on which such denial is considered to have occurred), such person (or his or her duly authorized representative) may (i) file a written request with the Committee for a review of his or her denied claim and of pertinent documents and (ii) submit written issues and comments to the Committee. The Committee will notify such person of its decision in writing. Such notification will be written in a manner calculated to be understood by such person and will contain specific reasons for the decision as well as specific references to pertinent Plan provisions. The decision on review will be made within 60 days after the request for review is received by the Committee. If the decision on review is not made within such period, the claim will be considered denied.

 

8.3 Claims and Review Procedure Not Mandatory After a Change in Control

 

After the occurrence of a Change in Control, the claims procedure and review procedure provided for in this Section 8 will be provided for the use and benefit of Participants who may choose to use such procedures, but compliance with the provisions of this Section 8 will not be mandatory for any Participant claiming benefits after a Change in Control. It will not be necessary for any Participant to exhaust these procedures and remedies after a Change in Control prior to bringing any legal claim or action, or asserting any other demand, for payments or other benefits to which such Employee claims entitlement.

SECTION 9

 

ADMINISTRATION

 

The Committee will administer the Plan. The Committee will have the same rights, powers and duties as specified in the ISP.

SECTION 10

 

AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION

Notice of every such modification, amendment or termination will be given in writing to each Participant.

 

After a Change in Control, the Plan may not be amended in any manner that adversely affects the administration or payment of a Participant’s benefits hereunder (including but not limited to the timing and form of payment of benefits hereunder) without the consent of the Participant, nor may the provisions of this Section 10 or Section 11 be amended after a Change in Control with respect to a Participant without the written consent of the Participant; provided, however, that the failure of a Participant to consent to any such amendment will not impair the ability of the Corporation to amend the Plan with respect to any other Participant who has consented to such amendment.

 

SECTION 11

 

SUCCESSORS

 

In addition to any obligations imposed by law upon any successor(s) to the Corporation and the Employers, the Corporation and the Employers will be obligated to require any successor(s) (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation, operation of law, or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Corporation and the Employers to expressly assume and agree to perform this Plan in the same manner and to the same extent that

the Corporation and the Employers would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place; in the event of such a succession, references to “Corporation” and “Employers” herein will thereafter be deemed to include such successor(s).

 

SECTION 12

 

GOVERNING LAW

 

The Plan will be governed according to the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, without reference to its conflict of laws provisions, to the extent not preempted by federal law.

 

SECTION 13

 

MISCELLANEOUS

 

13.1 No Contract of Employment

 

Participation in the Plan does not give any person any right to be retained in the service of the Corporation or any Affiliate. The right and power of the Corporation or any Affiliate to terminate any Employee is expressly reserved.

 

13.2 Compensation under Other Plans

 

Any amount deferred and/or payable under this Plan will not be considered Compensation for the purpose of computing benefits to which such Participant may be entitled under any qualified pension plan (as that term is defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) or other arrangement of the Corporation or an Affiliate for the benefit of Employees, except as specified in such plan or arrangement.

 

13.3 Withholding

 

The Corporation or an Affiliate will have the right to deduct from payment of any amount under the Plan any taxes required by law to be withheld from a Participant or Beneficiary with respect to such payment.

-8-


13.5 Severability

 

Whenever possible, each provision of this Plan will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law (including the Code), but if any provision of the Plan is held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, then (i) such provision will be deemed to be amended to, and to have contained from the outset such language as shall be necessary to, accomplish the objectives of the provision as originally written to the fullest extent permitted by law and (ii) any other provisions of this Plan will remain in full force and effect.

 

13.6 Construction

 

No rule of strict construction will be applied against the Corporation, Affiliate, Committee, Board or any other person regarding the interpretation of any terms of this Plan or any rule or procedure established by the Committee.

 

Where the context allows, words in the masculine gender will include the feminine and neuter genders, the plural will include the singular and the singular will include the plural.

 

The captions of sections and paragraphs of this Plan are for convenience only and will not control or affect the meaning or construction of any of its provisions.

 

13.7 Corporation and Affiliate Liability

 

Whenever, in the Committee’s opinion, any person entitled to receive any payment is under a legal disability, a minor, or incapacitated in any way, so as to be unable to manage his or her financial affairs, the Corporation or an Affiliate, at its discretion, may make such payment for the benefit of such person to his or her legal representative, or to a relative or friend of such person for his or her benefit, or it may apply the payment for the benefit of such person in any manner it deems advisable. When the Corporation or an Affiliate makes any payment pursuant to this subsection, it will be considered as a complete discharge of its liability for the making of such payments under the Plan.

 

13.8 Notices

 

All notices to the Corporation hereunder shall be delivered to the attention of the Committee. Any notice or filing required or permitted to be given to the Committee or the Corporation under this Plan will be sufficient if in writing and hand delivered, or sent by registered or certified mail, to the Committee, at the principal office of the Corporation.
