6.1.2    In the event that the Trust established with respect to Matching Contributions or Discretionary Company Contributions in the form of the Company’s Common Stock for any reason holds cash or other property sufficient to purchase a share of the Company’s Common Stock, the Trustee shall first arrange to acquire additional shares of the Company’s Common Stock, either by purchasing such shares in the public market or by acquiring such shares directly from the Company, unless the Committee, in its discretion, determines to credit such cash or other property to Participants’ Accounts. In the event that the Trust for any reason holds cash or other property in an amount insufficient to purchase a share of the Company’s Common Stock, such amount shall be held in cash or a cash equivalent determined by the Committee. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, in the event there are insufficient shares of the Company’s Common Stock reserved and available for issuance to make Matching or Discretionary Company Contributions in the form of Company Common Stock, the Company may credit cash amounts in lieu of shares of Company Common Stock to the applicable Subaccounts of one or more Participants for some or all of the Matching and Discretionary Company Contribution amounts.

6.1.3    Effective September 27, 2010, if the Board declares a cash dividend on the shares of the Company’s Common Stock, as of the first business day following the dividend payment date with respect to such cash dividend, the Company shall credit a cash amount equal to such per-share cash dividend with respect to each share of Company Common Stock credited to a Participant’s Matching Contributions and/or Discretionary Contributions Subaccount as of the dividend declaration date for such cash dividend. All such cash amounts shall be credited to the Subaccount and be subject to the same terms and conditions relating to vesting and payment as the corresponding shares of Company Common Stock credited to that Subaccount and be deemed to be invested in a money market fund or similar investment as of the first trading day after the dividend payment date with respect to such cash dividend, provided, however, that a Participant may at any time elect to reinvest any such amounts deemed invested in a money market fund or similar investment in any other Benchmark Fund specified under Section 6.2.2, but only after the fund is added to the recordkeeping system.

With respect to a distribution upon Retirement or an In-Service Distribution Date, the new Distribution Date must be at least five (5) years after the date of the first distribution specified in the original Election. No such amendment may accelerate the date that any distribution would be made from the Plan.

9.3.3    The Participant’s method of distribution selected in his or her Election shall remain in effect for all future similar Deferrals until changed by the Participant during a subsequent Open Enrollment Period. The Participant’s method of distribution may be changed only in accordance with the requirements of Section 9.3.2.

9.3.4    Failure to Properly Specify Form of Distribution. If, at the time of his or her Distribution Date, a Participant has failed to elect a form of distribution or a Participant who elects an installment distribution does not satisfy the requirements for the installment term elected, then such Participant’s Benefits shall be distributed in a single lump sum payment.

9.3.5    Installment Amounts. For purposes of this Section 9.3, installment distributions shall commence within sixty (60) days following a Participant’s Retirement or Disability, and shall thereafter be paid within the thirty (30) day period beginning on the last business day of each calendar quarter beginning with the calendar quarter next following the quarter in which the initial payment date occurred (for quarterly installments) or on a date that is within 30 days of each anniversary of the initial payment date (for annual installments). Installment distributions with respect to an In-Service Distribution Date shall commence on the business day corresponding with or immediately following the date elected by the Participant and be paid within the 30-day period beginning on the last business day of each calendar quarter beginning with the calendar quarter next following the quarter in which the initial payment date occurred (for quarterly installments) or on a date that is within 30 days of each subsequent anniversary of the In-Service Distribution Date (for annual installments).

9.3.6    Reemployed After Installments Begin. If a former Participant is reemployed after having begun to receive installment distributions from the Plan, then such former Participant, upon once again becoming an Eligible Employee, may begin a new period of participation in the Plan; provided, however, that the installment distributions previously commenced will continue to be paid to the Participant over the specified installment period.

9.3.7    Minimum Account Balance Necessary for Installments. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, if a Participant’s Account balance is less than $50,000 at the time elected to begin installment distributions, the Participant’s Benefit will automatically be distributed in a single lump sum.

9.4.1    Initial Election. Upon filing an Election to make Deferrals for any Plan Year, a Participant may specify an In-Service Distribution Date for the Subaccount to which such Deferrals are credited, subject to the following:

9.4.1.1    A Participant may elect one or more In-Service Distribution Dates for all of the Deferrals credited to such Subaccounts for the Plan Year.

9.4.1.2    Any In-Service Distribution Date must be at least two (2) years after the end of the Plan Year for which the initial Election specifying such In-Service Distribution Date is made.

9.4.1.3    Benefits shall be paid (or payments shall commence in accordance with Section 9.3.5) on the elected In-Service Distribution Date elected for such Deferrals.

9.4.2    Revocation or Amendment of In-Service Distribution Election. A Participant who has elected an In-Service Distribution Date may revoke and/or amend the In-Service Distribution Date Election by filing a revocation or an amended Election at least twelve (12) months in advance of the In-Service Distribution Date specified in the Election being revoked or amended. The amended In-Service Distribution Date must be at least five (5) years after the In-Service Distribution Date specified in the prior Election. Nothing in this Section 9.4.2 shall preclude a Participant from amending his or her Election as to the method of distribution in accordance with Section 9.3.2, above.

9.4.3    Separation from Service Before the Planned In-Service Distribution Date. If the Participant has a Separation from Service with the Employer before his In-Service Distribution Date for any reason (other than Retirement or Disability, to the extent of a valid Retirement or Disability election), distribution of the Participant’s Account shall be made in a single lump sum payment within sixty (60) days after the Participant’s Separation from Service.

9.4.4    Separation from Service After Commencement of Installment In-Service Distributions. Notwithstanding any prior Election, if the Participant has a Separation from Service with the Employer for any reason (other than Retirement or Disability, to the extent of a valid Retirement or Disability election) while receiving In‑Service Distributions in the form of installments, distribution of the Participant’s remaining installments shall be made in a single lump sum payment within sixty (60) days after the Participant’s Separation from Service.

9.5    Distribution Upon Death of Participant. If a Participant dies before his or her Benefit payments have commenced, then such Participant’s Benefits shall be paid to his or her designated Beneficiary in a single lump sum cash payment within sixty (60) days following the date of the Participant’s death. If a Participant dies after installment payments have commenced, his or her remaining Account balance shall be paid to the Beneficiary in a single lump sum payment within sixty (60) days after the Participant’s death.

9.6    Specified Employees. In the event of a distribution to a Specified Employee based upon such individual’s Separation from Service, distributions will be made or commence, irrespective of any Election or provision of this Plan to the contrary, on the date that is six (6) months and ten (10) days after the date of Separation from Service, or if earlier, the date of death of the Specified Employee.

9.7    Limitation on Distributions to Covered Employees. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 9, and subject to the requirements of Code Section 409A, a distribution may be delayed to the extent that the Company reasonably anticipates that if the distribution were made as scheduled, the Company’s deduction with respect to such distribution would not be permitted due to the application of Code Section 162(m). Any amount which is not distributed to the Participant as a result of the foregoing shall be distributed during the Participant’s first taxable year in which the Company reasonably anticipates that if the distribution is made during such year, the deduction of such distribution will not be barred by application of Code Section 162(m).

9.8    Tax Withholding. Distributions under this Article 9 shall be subject to all applicable withholding requirements for federal, state and local income or other taxes. Amounts required to be withheld pursuant to this Section 9.8 shall be taken first from distributions of cash and second, to the extent necessary to satisfy the minimum tax withholding requirements, from the proceeds of the sale of shares of Company Common Stock distributed to the Participant, which sale the Participant authorizes as a condition of participation in the Plan.

9.9    Section 280G Parachute Payment. In the event that any distribution from the Plan received or to be received by a Participant (a “Distribution”) would (i) constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, and (ii) but for this Section 9.9, cause the Participant to become subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”) or increase such Participant’s Excise Tax liability, then such Distribution may be reduced to the largest amount which the Participant, in his or her sole discretion, determines would result in no portion of the Distribution being subject to the Excise Tax. The determination by a Participant of any reduction shall be conclusive and binding upon the Employer, the Company, and the Committee. The Committee shall reduce a Distribution and/or shall accept the return of some or all of a Distribution previously made to a Participant only upon written notice by the Participant indicating the amount of such reduction. Any amounts returned to the Plan pursuant to this Section 9.9 shall be treated as a forfeiture and shall be used to reduce the Company’s future contributions to the Plan or to pay costs associated with the operation and administration of the Plan.

10.1    Committee Structure. The initial number of Committee members shall be three (3), until such number is changed by the Company’s Executive Vice President, Human Resources, or such other officer serving in that capacity (the “EVP, Human Resources”). A member of the Committee must be an employee of the Employer or a member of the Board and shall continue to serve until such member (i) resigns, (ii) is removed or (iii) terminates employment with the Employer and no longer serves on the Board for any reason. The EVP, Human Resources is or at his discretion may be a member of the Plan Committee. The EVP, Human Resources may remove a member of the Committee. A majority of the remaining members of the Committee may fill one or more vacancies on the Committee. The Committee may allocate and delegate some or all of its responsibilities described in this Article 10 and otherwise as set forth in the Plan. The Committee’s authority under this Article 10 shall at all times be subject to the ability of the EVP, Human Resources to remove any or all of the members of the Committee for any reason, change the number of members of the Committee, fill vacancies on such committee, and establish rules and procedures for the Committee.

10.2    Committee Powers and Responsibilities. The Committee shall have control of the administration of the Plan, with all powers necessary to enable it properly to carry out its duties in that respect, including, but not limited to, the power and authority to:

10.2.1    Construe the Plan and any Trust Agreement(s) to determine all questions that shall arise as to interpretations of the Plan’s provisions, including determinations of which individuals are Eligible Employees and the extent of their eligibility to participate in the Plan, which individuals are Specified Employees, and determinations related to the amounts credited to a Participant’s Account and the appropriate timing and method of Benefit payments;

10.2.2    Establish reasonable rules and procedures which shall be applied to Elections, the establishment of Accounts and Subaccounts, and all other discretionary provisions of the Plan;

10.2.3    Establish rules, procedures and formats for the electronic administration of the Plan, including specifically the distribution of Participant communications, Elections and tax information;

10.2.4    Establish the rules and procedures by which the Plan will operate that are consistent with the terms of the Plan documents and Code Section 409A;

10.2.5    Compile and maintain all records it determines to be necessary, appropriate or convenient in connection with the administration of the Plan;

10.2.6    Adopt amendments to the Plan which are deemed necessary or desirable to facilitate administration of the Plan and/or to bring Plan-related documents into compliance with all applicable laws and regulations; provided, however, that the Committee shall not have the authority to adopt any Plan amendment that will result in substantially increased costs to the Company unless such amendment is contingent upon ratification by the Compensation Committee before becoming effective;

10.2.7    Employ such persons or organizations to perform services with respect to the administrative responsibilities of the Committee under the Plan as the Committee determines to be necessary and appropriate, including, but not limited to, attorneys, accountants, and benefit, financial and administrative consultants;

10.2.8    Select, review and retain or change the Benchmark Funds which are used for determining the Investment Return under the Plan;

10.2.9    Direct the investment of the assets of the Trust(s);

10.2.10    Review the performance of the Trustee(s) with respect to the Trustee’s duties, responsibilities and obligations under the Plan and the Trust Agreement(s); and

10.2.11    Take such other actions as may be necessary or appropriate to the management and investment of the assets held with respect to this Plan.

10.3    Decisions of the Committee. Decisions of the Committee made in good faith upon any matter within the scope of its authority shall be final, conclusive and binding upon all persons, including Participants and their legal representatives or Beneficiaries. Any discretion granted to the Committee shall be exercised in accordance with rules and policies established by the Committee.

10.4    Indemnification. To the extent permitted by law, the Company shall indemnify each member of the Committee, and any other Employee or member of the Board with duties under the Plan, against losses and expenses (including any amount paid in settlement) reasonably incurred by such person in connection with any claims against such person by reason of such person’s conduct in the performance of his or her duties under the Plan, except in relation to matters as to which such person has acted fraudulently or in bad faith in the performance of his or her duties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not indemnify any person for any expense incurred through any settlement or compromise of any action unless the Company consents in writing to the settlement or compromise.

10.5    Claims Procedure. Benefits shall be provided from this Plan through procedures initiated by the Committee, and the Participant need not file a claim. However, if a Participant or Beneficiary believes he or she is entitled to a Benefit different from the one received, then the Participant or Beneficiary may file a claim for the Benefit by writing a letter to the Committee.

10.5.1    If any claim for Benefits under the Plan is wholly or partially denied, the claimant shall be given notice in writing of such denial within 90 days of the date the letter claiming benefits is received by the Committee. If special circumstances require an extension of time, written notice of the extension shall be furnished to the claimant within the initial 90‑day period.

10.5.2    Notice of the denial shall set forth the following information: (a) the specific reason or reasons for the denial; (b) specific references to pertinent Plan provisions on which the denial is based; (c) a description of any additional material or information necessary for the claimant to perfect the claim and an explanation of why such material or information is necessary; (d) an explanation that a full review by the Committee of the decision denying the claim may be requested by the claimant or his or her authorized representative by filing with the Company, within 60 days after such notice has been received, a written request for such review; and (e) if such request is so filed, the claimant or his or her authorized representative may review pertinent documents and submit issues and comments in writing within the same 60 day period.

10.5.3    The decision of the Committee upon review shall be made promptly, and not later than 60 days after the Committee’s receipt of the request for review, unless special circumstances require an extension of time for processing, in which case the claimant shall be so notified and a decision shall be rendered as soon as possible, but not later than 120 days after receipt of the request for review. If the claim is denied, wholly or in part, the claimant shall be promptly given a copy of the decision. The decision shall be in writing and shall include specific reasons for the denial, specific references to the pertinent Plan provisions on which the denial is based and shall be written in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant. No further legal action may be initiated claiming benefits under this Plan until the claims procedure set forth in this Article 10 is complete.

10.6    Plan Expenses. The Company shall pay all costs and expenses related to the operation and administration of the Plan.

11.1    Right to Amend. The Committee shall have the right to amend the Plan, at any time and with respect to any of its provisions, and all parties claiming any interest under the Plan shall be bound by such amendment; provided, however, that no such amendment shall deprive a Participant of a right accrued under the Plan prior to the date of the amendment, unless such an amendment is required by applicable law or deemed necessary to preserve the preferred tax treatment of the Plan. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, only the Compensation Committee shall have the authority to adopt amendments that result in a change to the matching contribution formula under Section 4.5 of the Plan.

11.2    Amendments to Ensure Proper Characterization of Plan. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 11.1, the Plan may be amended by the Committee or the Compensation Committee at any time, and retroactively if required, if found necessary, in the opinion of the Committee or the Compensation Committee, in order to conform the Plan to the provisions and requirements of applicable law (including, but not limited to, Section 409A of the Code, and other applicable portions of ERISA and the Code). No such amendment shall be considered prejudicial to any interest of a Participant hereunder.

11.3    Plan Termination or Plan Suspension. The Company reserves the right, by action of the Compensation Committee, to terminate the Plan at any time, to suspend the operation of the Plan for a fixed or indeterminate period of time, or to terminate the Plan and provide for all amounts to be distributed in a lump sum, to the extent permitted under Section 409A of the Code and the regulations issued thereunder.

11.4    Successor to Company. Any corporation or other business organization which is a successor to the Company by reason of a consolidation, merger or purchase of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any other Change in Control, shall have the right to become a party to the Plan by means of a resolution of the entity's board of directors or other appropriate governing body.

12.1    Transfers to Other Plans. In the event that a Participant becomes employed by any affiliated company, subsidiary corporation, parent corporation or unrelated corporation with which the Company enters into a transaction to acquire the assets or stock of such unrelated corporation, the Committee shall have the right, but not the obligation, to direct the Trustee to transfer funds in an amount equal to the amount credited to such Participant’s Account (the “Transferred Account”) to a trust established under a Transferee Plan. The Committee shall determine, in its sole discretion, whether such transfer shall be made and the timing of such transfer. Such transfer shall be made if, and only to the extent that, approval of such transfer is obtained from the Trustee.

12.1.1    Transferee Plan. For purposes of this Section 12.1, “Transferee Plan” shall mean an unfunded, nonqualified deferred compensation plan described in Sections 201(2), 301(a)(3) and 401(a)(l) of ERISA maintained by any of the Company’s affiliated entities, subsidiary corporations, parent corporations or any corporation unrelated to the Company with which the Company has successfully closed a transaction in which the Company acquired the assets or the outstanding stock of such unrelated corporation.

12.2    Transfers in from Other Plans. There may be transferred directly from the trustee of another nonqualified, funded, deferred compensation plan (an “Other Plan”) to the Trustee, subject to the approval of the transferor corporation maintaining the Other Plan and the Committee, funds in an amount not to exceed the amounts credited to the Other Plan accounts maintained for the benefit of that Eligible Employee. Amounts transferred pursuant to this Section 12.2, and any gains or losses allocable thereto, (i) shall be accounted for separately (“Transfer Account”) from amounts otherwise allocable to the Eligible Employee under this Plan, and (ii) the Transfer Account shall be distributed in accordance with the Eligible Employee’s deferral election under the Other Plan, as such election may be amended pursuant to the terms of the Other Plan. Subsequent earnings on the amount in the Transfer Account shall be credited to a separate Account for the Eligible Employee established pursuant to this Plan and shall be determined under the Plan’s investment procedures in Article 6.

12.3    Effect of Section. This Section 12 shall only be operable to the extent the Committee determines and in its sole and absolute discretion at the time of any proposed transfer that such transfer will not impact the Plan and any deferred amounts in a tax disadvantageous manner under Section 409A of the Code.

13.1    No Assignment. The right of any Participant, any Beneficiary or any other person to the payment of any benefits under this Plan shall not be assigned, transferred, pledged or encumbered, including pursuant to domestic relations orders.

13.2    No Secured Interest. The obligations of the Company to Participants under this Plan shall not be funded or otherwise secured, and shall be paid out of the general assets of the Company. Participants are general unsecured creditors of the Company with respect to the Company’s contributions hereunder and shall have no legal or equitable interest in the assets of the Company, including any assets the Company may set aside or reserve against its obligations under this Plan.

13.3    Successors. This Plan shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Employer, its successors and assigns and the Participant and his or her heirs, executors, administrators and legal representatives.

13.4    No Employment Agreement. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as conferring upon any Participant the right to continue in the Service of the Company or any Affiliate.

13.5    Attorneys’ Fees. If the Employer, the Participant, any Beneficiary and/or successor in interest to any of the foregoing, brings legal action to enforce any of the provisions of this Plan, the prevailing party in such legal action shall be reimbursed by the other party for the prevailing party’s legal costs, including, without limitation, reasonable fees of attorneys, accountants and similar advisors and expert witnesses.

13.6    Entire Agreement. This Plan constitutes the entire understanding and agreement with respect to the subject matter contained herein, and supersedes any and all agreements, understandings, restrictions, representations or warranties among any Participant and the Employer other than those set forth or provided for in this Plan.

13.7    Severability. If any provision of this Plan is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this Plan, and the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if such provision had not been included. In addition, if such provision is invalid, illegal or unenforceable due to changes in applicable law or accounting requirements, the Company may amend the Plan, without the consent and without providing any advance notice to any Participant, as may be necessary or desirable to comply with changes in the applicable law or financial accounting of deferred compensation plans.

13.8    Governing Law. This Plan shall be construed under the laws of the State of California, except to the extent preempted by federal law.
