The Administrator shall post such amount to each Participant’s Matching Account once the total Contribution received by the Custodian has been balanced against the specific amount to be credited to each Participant’s Matching Account.

(d) Compensation. Compensation from the Employer shall be measured by the period (not to exceed the Plan Year) for which the Contribution is being made, provided the Eligible Employee is a Participant during such period.

(e) True-Up Contribution. For each Participant who is an Employee on the last Business Day of the Plan Year and who has elected to contribute at least six percent (6%) of his or her Compensation as a Pre-Tax Contribution for all periods during such Plan Year in which he or she could make Pre-Tax Contributions, the Employer shall make a Matching Contribution equal to the least of:

(1) six percent (6%) of the Participant’s Compensation for the Plan Year;

(2) the Participant’s Pre-Tax Contributions for the Plan Year; or

(3) six percent (6%) of the dollar limit in Section 401(a)(17) of the Code,

minus the aggregate amount of any Matching Contribution already made for the Participant under Section 4.02 hereof for the Plan Year.

4.03 Pay Based Contributions.

(a) Frequency and Eligibility. Subject to the limits of the Plan and to the Administrator’s authority to limit Contributions under the Plan, for each Plan Year the Employer may make a Pay Based Contribution in an amount determined by the Employer on behalf of each Participant.

(b) Allocation Method. The Pay Based Contribution for each period shall be allocated among eligible Participants in direct proportion to their Compensation from the Employer; provided however, effective on and after January 1, 2002, the Pay Based Contribution will be equal to two percent (2%) of the Participant’s Compensation for the period with respect to which the Pay Based Contribution is made.

(c) Timing, Medium and Posting. The Employer shall make each period’s Pay Based Contribution in cash as soon as is feasible and not later than the Employer’s federal tax filing date, including extensions, for deducting such Contribution. The Administrator shall post such amount to each Participant’s Matching Account once the

total Contribution received by the Custodian has been balanced against the specific amount to be credited to each Participant’s Pay Based Account.

4.04 Special Contributions or QNEC Contributions.

(a) Frequency and Eligibility. Subject to the limits of the Plan and to the Administrator’s authority to limit Contributions under the Plan, for each Plan Year the Employer may make a Special Contribution in an amount determined by the Administrator on behalf of each Non-Highly Compensated Employee Participant who was an Eligible Employee at any time during the Plan Year.

(b) Allocation Method. The Special Contribution for each period shall be allocated among eligible Participants as determined by the Administrator, subject to a maximum dollar amount which may be contributed on behalf of any Participant as determined by the Administrator.

(c) Timing, Medium and Posting. The Employer shall make each period’s Special Contribution in cash as soon as is feasible, but no later than twelve (12) months after the end of the Plan Year to which it is allocated. The Administrator shall post such amount to each Participant’s Special Account once the total Contribution received by the Custodian has been balanced against the specific amount to be credited to each Participant’s Special Account.

(d) Compensation. Compensation shall be measured by the period (not to exceed the Plan Year) for which the Contribution is being made, provided the Eligible Employee is a Participant during such period.

4.05 Miscellaneous.

(a) Deduction Limits. In no event shall the Employer Contributions for a Plan Year exceed the maximum the Company estimates will be deductible (or which would be deductible if the Employers had taxable income) by any Employer or Commonly Controlled Entity under Section 404 of the Code (“Deductible Amount”). Any amount in excess of the Deductible Amount shall not be contributed in the following order of Contribution type, to the extent needed to eliminate the excess:

(1) Each Participant’s allocable share of Pre-Tax Contributions for the Plan Year will be reduced by an amount equal to the excess of the Participant’s Pre-Tax Contributions over an amount which bears the same ratio to the amount of Pre-Tax Contributions made to the Plan on behalf of such Participant during the Plan Year as the Deductible Amount available for the Plan Year (reduced by the total amount of other types of Employer Contributions for the Plan Year) bears to the aggregate Pre-Tax Contributions made to the Plan on behalf of all

Participants subject to such Deductible Amount during the Plan Year (before the application of this provision).

(2) If the application of Section (a)(1) would result in a reduction of a Participant’s Pre-Tax Contributions which are matched by Matching Contributions, the rate at which Pre-Tax Contributions are reduced shall be offset by a reduction for each Matching Contribution not made as a result.

(3) Pay Based Contributions.

(b) Profit Sharing Plan. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Plan shall constitute a profit sharing plan for all purposes of the Code.

ARTICLE V

ROLLOVERS

5.01 Rollovers. The Administrator may authorize the Custodian to accept a Rollover Contribution from an Eligible Employee in cash, even if he or she is not yet a Participant. The Employee shall furnish satisfactory evidence to the Plan Administrator that the amount is eligible for rollover treatment. Such amount shall be posted to the Employee’s Rollover Account by the Administrator as of the date received by the Custodian.

If it is later determined that an amount transferred pursuant to the above paragraph did not in fact qualify as a Rollover Contribution, the balance credited to the Employee’s Rollover Account shall immediately be: (1) segregated from all other Plan assets, (2) treated as a non-qualified trust established by and for the benefit of the Employee, and (3) distributed to the Employee. Any such non-qualifying rollover shall be deemed never to have been a part of the Plan.

5.02 Transfers. The Administrator may authorize the Custodian to accept a Transfer Contribution for an Eligible Employee. For purposes of this Section 5.02, a Transfer Contribution is an amount that is transferred from another defined contribution plan sponsored by the Employer or a Commonly Controlled Entity as a result of a change in employment classification of the Eligible Employee that causes him to be excluded from active participation in such other defined contribution plan and also eligible to participate in this Plan.

Any transfer into this Plan from another defined contribution plan of the Employer or a Commonly Controlled Entity shall maintain the character it held in the transferor plan and shall be credited under the appropriate Participant accounting. Transfer Contributions shall not be considered Rollover Contributions under the Plan.

5.03 Hurricane Xxxxxxx Distribution Recontribution. Effective January 1, 2006, the Administrator may authorize the Custodian to accept the recontribution by a Participant of a distribution that was made under the conditions of Section 10.06, to the extent the distribution was an Eligible Rollover Distribution, provided the recontribution

occurs during the 3-year period beginning the day after the date of the Xxxxxxx distribution.

ARTICLE VI

ACCOUNTING FOR PARTICIPANTS’
ACCOUNTS AND FOR INVESTMENT FUNDS

6.01 Individual Participant Accounting.

(a) Account Maintenance. The responsible Named Fiduciary will cause the Accounts for each Participant to reflect transactions involving Contributions and other allocations thereto, loans, earnings, losses, withdrawals, distributions and expenses to be allocated and posted to the Accounts in accordance with the terms of this Plan. Financial transactions during or with respect to an Accounting Period will be accounted for at the individual Account level by allocating and posting each transaction to the Account as of a Trade Date. At any point in time, the value of a Participant’s Accrued Benefit will be equal to the sum of the aggregate of the following amounts determined under (1) and (2) with regard to each Investment Fund:

(1) the: (A) Unit Values for the portion of his or her Accounts invested in each Investment Funds; multiplied by (B) the number of full and fractional units for each such Investment Fund posted to his or her Accounts.

(2) the fair market value of any other assets of the Trust Fund (exclusive of assets described in (1) and (2)) in which a portion of his or her Accounts is invested or held.

(b) Trade Date Accounting and Investment Cycle. For any transaction to be processed as of a Trade Date, the responsible Named Fiduciary must receive instructions by the Sweep Time and such instructions will apply only to amounts held in and posted to the Accounts as of the Trade Date. Except as otherwise provided herein, all transactions will be effected on the Trade Date relating to the Sweep Time (or as soon thereafter as is administratively possible).

(c) Suspension of Transactions. Whenever the Administrator considers such action to be in the best interest of the Participants, the Administrator in its discretion may suspend from time to time the Trade Date or reset the Sweep Time.

(d) Temporary Investment. To the extent practicable, the responsible Named Fiduciary will direct the Custodian to make temporary investments in a short-term interest fund of assets in an Account held pending a Trade Date.

(e) How Fees and Expenses are Charged to Accounts. Account maintenance fees will be charged to Accounts (to the extent such fees are not paid by the Employer), provided that no fee will reduce an Account balance below zero. Transaction type fees (such as loan set-up fees, etc.) will be charged to the Accounts involved in the transaction as determined pursuant to procedures adopted by the

Administrator. Fees and expenses incurred for the management and maintenance of Investment Funds will be charged at the Investment Fund level and reflected in the net gain or loss of each Investment Fund.

(f) Error Correction. The Administrator may correct any errors or omissions in the administration of the Plan by crediting or charging any Account with the amount that would have been allocated, credited or charged to the Account had no error or omission been made. Funds necessary for any such crediting will be provided through payment made by the responsible Named Fiduciary, or, if the responsible Named Fiduciary was not responsible for such error or omission, through payment by the Employer.

(g) Accounting for Participant Loans. Participant loans will be held in a separate Fund for investment only by such Participant and accounted for in dollars as an earmarked asset of the borrowing Participant’s Account.

6.02 Accounting for Investment Funds.

(a) Unit Accounting. The investments in each Investment Fund designated by the Administrator as subject to unit accounting will be maintained in full and fractional units. The responsible Named Fiduciary is responsible for determining the number of full and fractional units of each such Investment Fund.

(b) Share Accounting. The investments in each Investment Fund designated by the Administrator as subject to share accounting will be maintained in full and fractional shares. The responsible Named Fiduciary is responsible for determining the number of full and fractional shares of each such Investment Fund.

(1) Voting Rights. All Company Stock in an Account will be voted by the Custodian in accordance with directions from the Participant pursuant to the procedures of the Trust Agreement.

(2) Tender Offer. If a tender offer is commenced for Company Stock, the provisions of the Trust Agreement regarding the response to such tender offer, the holding and investment of proceeds derived from such tender offer and the substitution of new securities for such proceeds will be followed.

(3) Dividends and Income. Dividends (whether in cash or in property) and other income received by the Custodian in respect of Company Stock will be reinvested in Company Stock and will constitute income and be recognized on an accrual basis for the Accounting Period in which occurs the record date with respect to such dividend; provided that, with respect to any dividend which is reflected in the market price of the underlying stock, the Administrator will direct the Custodian during such trading period to trade such stock the regular way to reflect the value of the dividend, and all transfers and cash distributions will be

transacted accordingly with no accrual of such dividend, other than as reflected in such market price.

(4) Transaction Costs. Any brokerage commissions, transfer taxes, transaction charges, and other charges and expenses in connection with the purchase or sale of Company Stock will be added to the cost thereof in the case of a purchase or deducted from the proceeds thereof in the case of a sale; provided, however, where the purchase or sale of Company Stock is with a “disqualified person” as defined in Section 4975(e)(2) of the Code or a “party in interest” as defined in Section 3(14) of ERISA, no commissions may be charged with respect thereto.

6.03 Accounts for Alternate Payees. A separate Account will be established for an Alternate Payee as of the date, and in accordance with the directions specified, in the QDRO. Such Account will be valued and accounted for in the same manner as any other Account. An Alternate Payee will be treated as a Participant to the extent provided as follows:

(a) Investment Direction. An Alternate Payee may direct or exchange the investment of such Account in the same manner as a Participant; provided, however, that an Alternate Payee may not acquire Company Stock.

(b) Withdrawals and Forms of Payment. An Alternate Payee will receive payment of the amount specified in the QDRO as soon as administratively possible, regardless of whether the Participant is an Employee, unless the QDRO specifically provides that payment be delayed, including at the election of the Alternate Payee. Payment may be made in the same forms as are available to the Participant with respect to whom the QDRO has been obtained, to the extent provided in the QDRO.

(c) Participant Loans. An Alternate Payee will not be entitled to borrow from his or her Account. If a QDRO specifies that the Alternate Payee is entitled to any portion of the Account of a Participant who has an outstanding loan balance, all outstanding loans will continue to be held in the Participant’s Account and will not be divided between the Participant’s and Alternate Xxxxx’s Accounts.

(d) Beneficiary. An Alternate Payee may designate a Beneficiary in the same manner as a Participant, to the extent provided for in the QDRO.

6.04 Transition Rules. The Administrator may adopt such procedures, including imposing “transition” periods, as are necessary to accommodate any plan mergers, Investment Fund or accounting changes or events, or similar events as it determines are necessary for the proper administration of the Plan.

ARTICLE VII

INVESTMENT FUNDS AND ELECTIONS

7.01 Investment of Contributions.

(a) Investment Election. Each Participant may direct the Custodian, by submission to the responsible Named Fiduciary of an Investment Election, to invest Contributions (and loan repayments) posted to his or her Accounts and other amounts allocated and posted to the Participant’s Account in one or more Investment Funds; provided, however, that a separate Investment Election is required for Rollover Contributions. If a Participant does not have a valid Investment Election on file, his or her Investment Election will be deemed to be a 100% election of the Investment Fund designated by the Administrator as the default option, as indicated in Appendix 1.50. If the Participant elects to have any such Contributions made on his or her behalf invested in more than one Investment Fund, he or she must designate in whole multiples of one percent (1%) what percentage of the Contribution is to be invested in each such Investment Fund. Notwithstanding the above and effective as of May 21, 1999, no Investment Election may be made by a Participant or Beneficiary which directs the investment of any Contributions into the PepsiCo Stock Fund.

(b) Effective Date of Investment Election; Change of Investment Election. A Participant’s initial Investment Election will be effective with respect to an Investment Fund on the Trade Date which relates to the Sweep Time on which or prior to which the Investment Election is received and not revoked pursuant to procedures specified by the Administrator. A Participant’s Investment Election will continue in effect, notwithstanding any change in his or her Compensation or his or her Contribution Percentage, until the earlier of: (1) the effective date of a new Investment Election; or (2) the date he or she ceases to be a Participant. A change in Investment Election will be effective with respect to an Investment Fund as soon as administratively possible after the date the Administrator receives the Participant’s new Investment Election.

7.02 Investment of Accounts.

(a) Conversion Election. Notwithstanding a Participant’s Investment Election, a Participant may direct the Custodian, by submission of a Conversion Election to the responsible Named Fiduciary, to change the investment of his or her Accounts between two or more Investment Funds, on a pro rata basis with respect to each of the Participant’s Accounts (exclusive of the Participant’s loans) from existing plan. If a Participant does not have a valid Conversation Election on file, his or her Conversion Election will be deemed to be a 100% election of the Investment Fund designated by the Administrator as the default option, as indicated in Appendix 1.50. If the Participant or Beneficiary elects to invest his or her Accrued Benefit in more than one (1) Investment Fund, he or she must designate in whole multiples of one percent (1%) what percentage of his or her Accounts is to be invested in such Investment Fund; provided, however, effective as of May 21, 1999, no Conversion Election may be made by a Participant or Beneficiary which directs the investment of any part of his or her Accrued Benefit into the PepsiCo Stock Fund.

(b) Effective Date of Conversion Election. A Conversion Election to change a Participant’s investment of his or her Accounts in one Investment Fund to another Investment Fund will be effective with respect to such Investment Funds on the Trade Date(s) which relates to the Sweep Time on which or prior to which the

Conversion Election is received and not revoked pursuant to procedures specified by the Administrator. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Conversion Election made with respect to the Account balance of a Participant who dies on or after the Effective Date will not be valid if it is made after such time that is established by the Administrator following the date the Administrator is notified of such Participant’s death.

(c) Delayed Effective Date. Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 7.02 to the contrary, if the sell portion of a Conversion Election can not be processed due to a problem in the market, a liquidity shortage in an Investment Fund, or disruption of other sell or buy orders in another Investment Fund, the buy portion of the Conversion Election will not be processed on a Trade Date until the sell transaction can be processed.

7.03 Investment Funds. The Plan’s Investment Funds are indicated in Appendix 1.50. In addition, the Management Committee may, from time to time, in its discretion:

(a) limit or freeze investments in, or transfers from, an Investment Fund;

(b) add funding vehicles thereunder;

(d) add new Investment Funds to, or delete Investment Funds from, Appendix 1.50.

7.04 Transition Rules. Effective as of the date designated by the Management Committee on which any Investment Fund is added under Section 7.03, each Participant will have the opportunity to make new Investment Elections and Conversion Elections to the Administrator no later than the applicable Sweep Time. The Administrator may take such action as the Administrator deems appropriate, including, but not limited to:

(a) using any reasonable accounting methods in performing his or her duties during the period of transition;

(b) designating into which Investment Fund a Participant’s Accounts or Contributions will be invested;

(c) establishing the method for allocating net investment gains or losses and the extent, if any, to which amounts received by and distributions paid from the Trust during this period share in such allocation;

(d) investing all or a portion of the Trust’s assets in a short-term, interest-bearing Investment Fund during such transition period;

(e) delaying any Trade Date during a designated transition period or changing any Sweep Time or Valuation Time during such transition period; or

(f) designating how and to what extent a Participant’s Investment Election or Conversion Election will apply to Investment Funds.

7.05 Restricted Investment Funds. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary: (a) purchases and sales in the Company Stock Fund will be restricted for Participants subject to applicable statutory, stock exchange or Company trading restrictions; and (b) amounts invested hereunder will be subject to such restrictions as may be imposed by: (i) the issuer of securities to an Investment Fund, or (ii) the investment manager or advisor of such Investment Fund.

7.06 Risk of Loss. Neither the Plan nor the Company guarantees that the fair market value of the Investment Funds, or of any particular Investment Fund, will be equal to or greater than the amounts invested therein. Neither the Plan nor the Company guarantees that the value of the Accounts will be equal to or greater than the Contributions allocated thereto. Except as required pursuant to ERISA, each Participant will have sole responsibility for the investment of his or her Accounts and for transfers among the available Investment Funds, and no fiduciary or other person will have any liability for any loss or diminution in value resulting from any Participant’s exercise of, or failure to exercise, such investment responsibility. Each Participant assumes all risk of any decrease in the value of the Investment Funds and the Accounts. The Plan is intended to constitute a plan described in Section 404(c) of ERISA.

7.07 Interests in the Investment Funds. No Participant will have any claim, right, title, or interest in or to any specific assets of any Investment Fund until distribution of such assets is made to such Participant. No Participant will have any claim, right, title, or interest in or to the Investment Fund, except as and to the extent expressly provided herein.

7.08 Sole Source of Benefits. Participants may only seek payment of benefits under the Plan from the Trust, and, except as otherwise required by law, the Employer assumes no responsibility or liability therefor.

7.09 Alternate Payees. See Sections 6.03 and 6.04 for the treatment of Alternate Payees as Participants for purpose of this Article VII.

ARTICLE VIII

VESTING AND FORFEITURES

8.01 Fully Vested Contribution Accounts

A Participant who first performed an Hour of Service prior to January 1, 2004 shall be fully vested and have a nonforfeitable right to his or her Accrued Benefit in all Accounts at all times. An Employee who was a participant in the 401(k) plan sponsored

by Central Investment Corporation (“CIC”) and who had at least three Years of Service as of January 1, 2006, shall be fully vested and have a nonforfeitable right to the portion of his Accrued Benefit attributable to the CIC 401(k) Plan at all times.

A Participant who first performs an Hour of Service on or after January 1, 2004 shall be fully vested and have a nonforfeitable right to his or her Accrued Benefit in these Accounts at all times:

Post-Tax Account		Pre-Tax Account		Catch-Up Account
Rollover Account		Special Account

8.02 Vesting; Payment of Accrued Benefit On or After Retirement or Disability

A Participant’s Accrued Benefit shall be fully vested and nonforfeitable upon the occurrence of any one or more of the following events:

(a) completion of at least the minimum number of years of Vesting Service in the Vesting Schedule for a 100% nonforfeitable percentage;

(b) attainment of Normal Retirement Date;

(d) he or she dies while an Employee.

8.03 Vesting Schedule and Forfeitures

(a) Vesting. If a Participant who first performs an Hour of Service on or after January 1, 2004 has a Termination of Employment, the Participant shall be vested and have a nonforfeitable right to his or her Accrued Benefit in his or her Matching and Formula Based Accounts, determined in accordance with the following vesting schedule:

Years of Vesting Service	Nonforfeitable Percentage

Less than 1 year	0	%
1 year but less than 2 years	20	%
2 years but less than 3 years	40	%
3 years but less than 4 years	60	%
4 years but less than 5 years	80	%
5 years or more	100	%

8.04 Forfeitures

(a) Forfeiture Where Payment Commences After a Break in Service. If no Payment Date of a Participant’s nonforfeitable Accrued Benefit occurs before having incurred a Break in Service, that portion of the Participant’s Accrued Benefit (which is

Employer-derived) which is forfeitable as of his or her Termination of Employment shall be forfeited as of the completion of a Break in Service. If the Participant is reemployed as an Employee prior to having incurred a Break in Service, the Forfeiture shall not occur. If the Participant is reemployed as an Employee after incurring a Break in Service, the Participant shall be fully vested and have a nonforfeitable interest in that portion of his or her Accounts accrued prior to the Break in Service and not forfeited as a result of such Break in Service. A Participant who incurs a Termination of Employment with a zero vested interest in his or her Accrued Benefit (which is Employer-derived) shall be deemed to have a Payment Date and a Forfeiture of his or her Accrued Benefit as of such Termination of Employment.

(b) Forfeiture Where Payment Commences Prior to a Break in Service. If the Payment Date of a Participant’s nonforfeitable percentage of his or her Accrued Benefit occurs prior to having incurred a Break in Service, that portion of his or her Accrued Benefit which is forfeitable shall be forfeited as of the Payment Date. Thereafter, if such person is rehired as an Employee prior to incurring a Break in Service, he or she shall be entitled to make repayment to the Plan of the full amount distributed to him or her on or after the Payment Date no later than: (1) the date he or she incurs a Break in Service, and (2) the last day of the 5-year period commencing on or after his or her date of reemployment. Upon making repayment in a single payment of the amount distributed to him or her, the amount repaid shall be credited to the Participant’s Account from which paid and the Forfeiture shall be reinstated to his or her Accounts and invested in the same manner as the Account to which it is posted. The amount required to restore such Participant’s Accounts shall be charged against the Plan’s Forfeitures, and, if insufficient, be made up from additional Employer Contributions. Where a Participant has been deemed to have a Payment Date because he or she had a zero vested interest in his or her Accrued Benefit, he or she will be deemed to have made the repayment required by this subparagraph on his or her date of hire.

If the Employee makes the above-described repayment, such repayment shall be considered to be the “investment in the contract” for purposes of Sections 72(c)(1)(A), 72(f) and 402(e)(4)(D)(i) of the Code in relation to the amount reinstated in his or her Account on account of the repayment.

8.05 Forfeiture Account. A Forfeiture will be posted, no later than the end of the Plan Year in which the Forfeiture arises, to the Forfeiture Account on the Settlement Date for the Trade Date on which the Custodian, at the direction of the Administrator, has converted the Forfeiture to cash. The Forfeiture Account shall be invested in interest bearing deposits of the Custodian or short term money market instruments. No later than the end of such Plan Year, the Forfeiture Account shall be used in the following order: to reinstate Accrued Benefits and to reduce Employer Contributions, as determined by the Administrator, and to pay expenses of the Plan.

8.06 Break in Service. For purposes of this Article VIII, Break in Service means a 12-consecutive month computation period during which he or she is credited

with 500 or less Hours of Service. The applicable computation period shall be the Plan Year.

If a Participant is considered on Maternity or Paternity Leave hereunder, then, solely for purposes of determining whether the Participant has a Break in Service under this Article VIII, the period of time between the first and second anniversaries of the date the Participant is considered to be absent from service shall be considered neither a period of Severance nor a period of service. If a Participant remains on Maternity or Paternity Leave beyond such second anniversary, the Participant’s Period of Severance shall be deemed to begin on such date.

A Maternity/Paternity Leave means a paid or unpaid and unapproved absence from employment with a Commonly Controlled Entity: (1) by reason of the pregnancy of the Employee; (2) by reason of the birth of a child of the Employee; (3) by reason of the placement of a child under age 18 in connection with the adoption of such child by the Employee (including a trial period prior to adoption); and (4) for the purpose of caring for a child of the Employee immediately following the birth or adoption of such child. The Employee must prove to the satisfaction of the Administrator or its agent that the absence meets the above requirements and must supply information concerning the length of the absence unless the Administrator has access to relevant information without the Employee submitting it.

8.07 Authorized Leave of Absence

(a) General Rule. A Participant who is granted an Authorized Leave of Absence by his or her Employer, and who returns to employment at the end of such leave, shall receive credit for Service for the period of time while on such Authorized Leave of Absence; provided however, a Participant on an Authorized Leave of Absence shall not be credited with more than a 24-month period of Service hereunder for a period of absence from active employment, except in accordance with rules that are adopted in writing by the Plan Administrator. A Participant who is granted an Authorized Leave of Absence but who fails to return (or retire) within the period specified shall be treated as if he or she was absent from Service on the date his or her leave commenced.

(b) Military Service. A Participant with service in the Armed Forces of the United States (“military service”) shall be credited with Service and Credited Service pursuant to the requirements of section 414(u) of the Code.

8.08 Transfers. This Section shall apply with respect to an Employee of a Commonly Controlled Entity who transfers from an ineligible classification of employment to an Eligible Employee classification, or who transfers from an Eligible Employee classification to one that is ineligible.

(a) Transfers of employment between Employers under this Plan shall not result in a Break in Service.

(b) If an Employee becomes eligible to participate in this Plan as a result of a transfer described in this subsection, he or she shall receive Service credit for employment by an employer while it is a Commonly Controlled Entity.

(c) If a Participant in this Plan transfers employment within the Commonly Controlled Entity and is no longer in an Eligible Employee classification of employment, he or she shall continue to accrue Service for purposes hereunder, subject to the Break in Service rules of this Article VIII.

8.09 Reemployment. Effective as of January 1, 2004 and upon incurring a Break in Service, as defined in Section 8.06, the provisions of this Section 8.09 shall apply in determining an employee’s Years of Vesting Service under the Plan.

(a) A Participant who has completed at least one Year of Service at the time he or she incurs a Break in Service and who is again employed as an Eligible Employee shall have his or her pre-break service restored in determining his or her rights and benefits under the Plan.

(b) A Participant who has not completed at least one Year of Service at the time he or she incurs a Break in Service and who is again employed as an Eligible Employee shall have his or her years of pre-break service restored, but only if the number of his or her consecutive 1-year Breaks in Service is less than five. A former Participant who has not had his or her pre-break service restored under the preceding sentence shall be treated as a new, first-time employee upon his or her re-employment by the Employer.

ARTICLE IX

PARTICIPANT LOANS

9.01 Participant Loans Permitted. The Administrator is authorized to establish and administer a loan program for a Participant who is an Eligible Employee or a former Eligible Employee who is a “party in interest” under ERISA pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in this Article. All loan limits are determined as of the Trade Date the Trustee reserves funds for the loan. The funds will be disbursed to the Participant as soon as is administratively feasible after the next following Settlement Date.

9.02 Loan Funding Limits. The loan amount must meet the following limits:

(a) Plan Minimum Limit. The minimum amount for any loan is $1,000.00.

(b) Plan Maximum Limit. Subject to the legal limit described in (c) below, the maximum a Participant may borrow, including the outstanding balance of existing Plan loans, is fifty percent (50%) of vested balance of the following Accounts:

Pre-Tax Account
Catch-up Account
Special Account
Matching Account
Pay Based Account
Former Matching Contribution Account
ESOP Account
TRASOP Account
Rollover Account and
Post-Tax Account.

(c) Legal Maximum Limit. The maximum a Participant may borrow, including the outstanding balance of existing loans, is based upon the value of his or her vested interest in this Plan and all other qualified plans maintained by a Commonly Controlled Entity (the “Vested Interest”). The maximum amount is equal to fifty percent (50%) of his or her Vested Interest, not to exceed $50,000. However, the $50,000 amount is reduced by the Participant’s highest outstanding balance of all loans from any Commonly Controlled Entity’s qualified plans during the 12-month period ending on the day before the Trade Date on which the loan is made.

9.03 Maximum Number of Loans. A Participant may have only one loan outstanding at any given time, and any prior existing loan must be fully repaid for ninety (90) days before a new loan may be secured.

9.04 Source of Loan Funding. A loan to a Participant shall be made solely from the assets of his or her own Accounts. The available assets shall be determined first by Contribution Account and then by investment type within each type of Contribution Account. The hierarchy for loan funding by type of Contribution Account shall be the order listed in the preceding Plan Maximum Limit paragraph. Within each Account used for funding, amounts shall first be taken from the available cash in the Account and then taken by type of investment in direct proportion to the market value of the Participant’s interest in each Investment Fund as of the Sweep Date on which the loan is made.

9.05 Interest Rate. The interest rate charged on Participant loans shall be fixed and equal to the prime rate, as published in the Wall Street Journal.

9.06 Repayment. Substantially level amortization shall be required of each loan with payments made at least monthly through payroll deduction, provided that payment can be made by check for advance loan payments or when a Participant is on an Authorized Leave of Absence, Disabled or transferred to the employ of a Commonly Controlled Entity which is not participating in the Plan. Loans may be prepaid in full or in part at any time. The loan repayment period shall be as mutually agreed upon by the Participant and Administrator, not to exceed five (5) years.

9.07 Repayment Hierarchy. Loan principal repayments shall be credited to the Participant’s Contribution Accounts in the inverse of the order used to fund the loan. Loan interest shall be credited to the Contribution Account in direct proportion to the

principal repayment. Loan payments are credited by investment type based upon the Participant’s current Conversion Election for that Account.

9.08 Loan Application, Note and Security. A Participant shall apply for any loan in accordance with a procedure established by the responsible Named Fiduciary. The responsible Named Fiduciary shall administer Participant loans and shall specify the time frame for approving loan applications. All loans shall be evidenced by a promissory note and security agreement and secured only by a Participant’s Account balance. The Plan shall have a lien on a Participant’s Account to the extent of any outstanding loan balance.

9.09 Default, Suspension and Acceleration Feature.

(a) Default. A loan is treated as a default on the earlier of: (i) the date any scheduled loan payment is more than ninety (90) days late, provided that the Administrator may agree to a suspension of loan payments for up to twelve (12) months for a Participant who is on an Authorized Leave of Absence; or (ii) thirty (30) days from the time the Participant receives written notice of the note being due and payable and a demand for past due amounts.

(b) Actions Upon Default. In the event of default, the Administrator will direct the Trustee to report the default as a taxable distribution. As soon as a Plan withdrawal or distribution to such Participant would otherwise be permitted, the Administrator will direct the Trustee to execute upon its security interest in the Participant’s Account by segregating the unpaid loan balance from the Account, including interest to the date of default, and to distribute the note to the Participant.

(c) Acceleration. A loan shall become due and payable in full once the Participant incurs a Termination of Employment.

11.01 Request for Distribution of Benefits.

(a) Request for Distribution. Subject to the other requirements of this Article, a Participant may elect to have his or her vested Accrued Benefit paid to him or her beginning upon any Settlement Date following his or her Termination of Employment by submitting a completed distribution election in accordance with a procedure established by the responsible Named Fiduciary. Such election form shall include or be accompanied by a notice which provides the Participant with information regarding all optional times and forms of payment available. The election must be submitted to the responsible Named Fiduciary by the Sweep Date that relates to the Payment Date.

(b) Failure to Request Distribution. If a Participant has a Termination of Employment and fails to submit a distribution request in accordance with a procedure established by the responsible Named Fiduciary by the last Payment Date permitted under this Article, his or her vested Accrued Benefit shall be valued as of the Valuation Date which immediately precedes such latest date of distribution (called the “Default Valuation Date”) and a notice of such deemed distribution shall be issued to his or her last known address as soon as administratively possible. If the Participant does not respond to the notice or cannot be located, his or her vested Accrued Benefit determined on the Default Valuation Date shall be treated as a forfeiture. If the Participant subsequently files a claim, the amount forfeited (unadjusted for gains and losses) shall be reinstated to his or her Accounts and distributed as soon as administratively feasible, and such payment shall be accounted for by charging it against forfeitures or by a contribution from the Employer of the affected Participant.

11.02 Deadline for Distribution. In addition to any other Plan requirements and unless the Participant elects otherwise, or cannot be located, the Payment Date of a Participant’s vested Accrued Benefit shall be not later than sixty (60) days after the latest of the close of the Plan Year in which: (i) the Participant attains the earlier of age sixty-five (65) or his or her Normal Retirement Date, (ii) occurs the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Plan Year in which the Participant commenced participation, or (iii) the Participant had a Termination of Employment. However, if the amount of the payment or the location of the Participant (after a reasonable search) cannot be ascertained by that deadline, payment shall be made no later than sixty (60) days after the earliest date on which such amount or location is ascertained. In any case, the Payment Date of the Accrued Benefit of a Participant: (i) who is not an Employee, or (ii) who is an Employee and who is a 5-percent owner (as defined in Section 416 of the Code), shall not be later than April 1 following the calendar year in which the Participant attains age seventy and one-half (70½) and each December 31 thereafter and shall

comply with the requirements of Section 401(a)(9) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder.

11.03 Payment Form and Medium.

Within each Account used for funding a distribution, amounts shall be taken by type of investment in direct proportion to the market value of the Participant’s interest in each Investment Fund at the Trade Date for which the distribution is made.

(b) Medium of Payment. Payments will generally be made in cash (generally by check). Alternatively, if the Participant elects a single sum distribution, a single sum payment will be made, as directed by the Participant, in a combination of cash and whole shares of Company Stock to the extent the distribution is funded from the Company Stock Fund.

11.04 Small Amounts Paid Immediately. If a Participant incurs a Termination of Employment and the Participant’s vested Accrued Benefit is $1,000 or less at any time, including after withdrawals have commenced, the Participant’s Accrued Benefit will be paid as a single sum as soon as administratively possible, pursuant to such procedures as may be established by the Administrator.

11.05 Payment Within Life Expectancy. The Participant’s payment election must be consistent with the requirement of Section 401(a)(9) of the Code that all payments are to be completed within a period not to exceed the lives or the joint and last survivor life expectancy of the Participant and his or her Beneficiary.

11.06 Incidental Benefit Rule. For Plan Years beginning prior to January 1, 2003, the Participant’s payment election must be consistent with the requirement that, if the Participant’s Spouse is not his or her sole primary Beneficiary, the minimum annual distribution for each calendar year, beginning with the year in which he or she attains age seventy and one-half (70½), shall not be less than the quotient obtained by dividing: (a) the Participant’s vested Accrued Benefit as of the last Trade Date of the preceding year by (b) the applicable divisor as determined under the incidental benefit requirements of Section 401(a)(9) of the Code. For Plan Years beginning on or after January 1,2003, the Incidental Benefit Rule shall no longer apply.

11.07 Continued Payment of Amounts in Payment Status on the Effective Date. Any person who became a Participant prior to the Effective Date only because he or she had an Accrued Benefit and who had commenced to receive payments prior to the Effective Date shall continue to receive such payments in the same form and payment schedule under this Plan.

(a) The distribution must have been one provided for in the Plan.

(b) The distribution by the Plan is one which would not have disqualified the Plan under Section 401(a)(9) of the Code as in effect prior to amendment by the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1982 (“TEFRA”).

(c) The distribution is in accordance with a method of distribution designated by the Participant whose interest is being distributed or, if the Participant is deceased, by a Beneficiary of such Participant.

(d) Such designation was in writing, was signed by the Participant or the Beneficiary, and was made before January 1, 1984.

With respect to any cash payment in excess of $200 hereunder which constitutes an Eligible Rollover Distribution, a Distributee may direct the Administrator to have such payment (other than from a Post-Tax Account) paid in the form of a Trustee Transfer, in accordance with procedures established by the Administrator, provided the responsible Named Fiduciary receives written notice of such direction with specific instructions as to the Eligible Retirement Plan on or prior to the applicable Sweep Date for payment. If the Participant does not transfer all of such payment, the minimum amount which can be transferred is $500.

11.10 Delay. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, a payment will not be considered to be made after the applicable Payment Date merely because actual payment is reasonably delayed for the calculation and/or distribution of the benefit amount, or to ascertain the location of the payee, if all payments due are actually made.

ARTICLE XII

DISTRIBUTION OF ACCRUED BENEFITS ON DEATH

12.01 Payment to Beneficiary. On the death of a Participant prior to his or her Payment Date, his or her vested Accrued Benefit shall be paid to the Beneficiary or Beneficiaries designated by the Participant in accordance with the procedure established by the responsible Named Fiduciary. Death of a Participant on or after his or her Payment Date shall result in payment to his or her Beneficiary of whatever death benefit is provided by the form of payment in effect on his or her Payment Date.

12.02 Beneficiary Designation.

(a) Each Participant may designate the Beneficiary who is to receive the Participant’s remaining Accrued Benefit at his or her death. The Participant may change his or her designation of Beneficiary by filing a new designation with the Administrator. Notwithstanding any designation to the contrary, the Participant’s Beneficiary will be the Participant’s surviving Spouse, unless such designation includes Spousal Consent. In the absence of Spousal Consent, a Participant will be deemed to have designated his or her surviving Spouse as his or her Beneficiary unless and to the extent that such designation is inconsistent with a QDRO. If the Participant dies leaving no Spouse and either: (1) the Participant failed to file a valid Beneficiary designation, or (2) all persons designated as Beneficiary have predeceased the Participant, the Administrator will have the Trustee distribute such Participant’s Accrued Benefit in a single sum to his or her estate as soon as practicable following the Participant’s death.

(b) Subject to the provisions of this Section, a Participant may designate a Beneficiary under the Plan at any time by making the designation in the form and manner and at the time determined by the Administrator. No such designation will be effective until and unless it is received by the Administrator.

(c) Subject to the provisions of this Section, a Participant may revoke a prior designation of a Beneficiary at any time by making the revocation in the form and manner and at the time determined by the Administrator. No such revocation will be effective until and unless it is received by the Administrator.

(d) Subject to the provisions of this Section, if a Participant designates his or her Spouse as his or her Beneficiary, except to the extent required by applicable law, that designation will not be revoked or otherwise altered or affected by any:

(1) change in the marital status of the Participant and such Spouse,

(2) agreement between the Participant and such Spouse.

(e) If a Participant designates his or her Spouse as his or her Beneficiary, and the Administrator receives a QDRO with respect to the marriage, separation or divorce of the Participant and such Spouse, such Spouse will cease to be the Participant’s Beneficiary unless and until the Participant again designates his or her Spouse as the

Participant’s Beneficiary in accordance with the provisions of this Section, except to the extent otherwise provided in the QDRO.

(f) A Participant’s Beneficiary may not be changed following the Participant’s death, including, but not limited to, by a disclaimer otherwise valid under applicable law.

(g) After a Participant’s death which occurs on or after the Effective Date, the Participant’s Beneficiary will have the rights and options otherwise available under the Plan to Participants. For example, a Beneficiary will have the right to exchange an Account among the Investment Funds.

12.03 Benefit Election.

(a) Request for Distribution. In the event of a Participant’s death prior to his or her Payment Date, a Beneficiary may elect to have the Accrued Benefit of a deceased Participant paid to him or her beginning upon any Settlement Date following the Participant’s date of death by submitting a completed distribution election in accordance with the procedure established by the responsible Named Fiduciary. The election must be submitted to the responsible Named Fiduciary by the Sweep Date that relates to the Settlement Date upon which payments are to begin.

(b) Failure to Request Distribution. In the event a Beneficiary fails to submit a timely distribution request, his or her vested Accrued Benefit shall be valued as of the Valuation Date which immediately precedes such latest date of distribution (called the “Default Valuation Date”) and a notice of such deemed distribution shall be issued to his or her last known address as soon as administratively possible. If the Beneficiary does not respond to the notice or cannot be located, his or her vested Accrued Benefit determined on the Default Valuation Date shall be treated as a forfeiture. If the Beneficiary subsequently files a claim, the amount forfeited (unadjusted for gains and losses) shall be reinstated to his or her Accounts and distributed as soon as administratively feasible, and such payment shall be accounted for by charging it against forfeitures, or by a Contribution from the Employer, of the affected Beneficiary.

12.04 Payment Form. In the event of a Participant’s death after his or her Payment Date, payment shall be made in the form selected by the Participant. Otherwise, a Beneficiary shall be limited to the same form and medium of payment to which the Participant was limited. Payments will generally be made in cash (by check). Alternatively, if the Beneficiary elects an in-kind distribution, a single sum payment will be made in a combination of cash and whole shares.

12.05 Required Commencement of Distribution.

(a) General Rules. The provisions of this Section 12.05 will apply for purposes of determining required minimum distributions for calendar years beginning with the 2003 calendar year.

(1) Precedence. The requirements of this Section 12.05 will take precedence over any inconsistent provisions of the Plan.

(b) Time and Manner of Distribution.

(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) 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, unless the Beneficiary makes an election pursuant to subsection (E) below, 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 70 1/2, if later.

(B) If the Participant’s surviving spouse is not the Participant’s sole designated beneficiary, then, unless the Beneficiary makes an election pursuant to subsection (E) below, the Participant’s entire interest will be distributed to the designated beneficiary by December 31 of the calendar year containing the fifth anniversary of the Participant’s death.

(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 12.05(b)(2), other than Section 12.05(b)(2)(A), will apply as if the surviving spouse were the Participant.

(E) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsections (A) and (B) above, Beneficiaries may elect on an individual basis whether the life

expectancy rule or the 5-year rule in subsections (A) or (B) above applies to distributions after the death of a Participant. The election must be made no later than the earlier of September 30 of the calendar year in which distribution would be required to begin under subsections (A) or (B) above, or by September 30 of the calendar year which contains the fifth anniversary of the Participant’s (or, if applicable, surviving spouse’s) death. If the Beneficiary does not make an election under this subsection (E), distributions will be made in accordance with subsections (A) or (B) above, whichever is applicable.

For purposes of this Section 12.05(b)(2) and Section 12.05(d), unless Section 12.05(b)(2)(D) applies, distributions are considered to begin on the Participant’s required beginning date. If Section 12.05(b)(2)(D) applies, distributions are considered to begin on the date distributions are required to begin to the surviving spouse under Section 12.05(b)(2)(A).

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 12.05(b)(2)(A)), the date distributions are considered to begin is the date distributions actually commence.

(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 12.05(c) and 12.05(d). 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 Section 401(a)(9) of the Code and the Treasury regulations.

(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.

(2) Lifetime Required Minimum Distributions Continue Through Year of Participant’s Death. Required minimum distributions will be determined under this Section 12.05(c) beginning with the first distribution calendar year and up to and including the distribution calendar year that includes the Participant’s date of death.

(d) Required Minimum Distributions After Participant’s Death.

(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 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.

(2) Death Before Date Distributions Begin.

(A) Participant Survived by Designated Beneficiary. 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 12.05(d)(1).

(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 12.05(b)(2)(A), this Section 12.05(d)(2) will apply as if the surviving spouse were the Participant.

(e) Definitions.

(1) Designated beneficiary. The individual who is designated as the beneficiary under Section 12.02 of the Plan and is the designated beneficiary under Section 401(a)(9) of the Internal Revenue Code and Section 1.401(a)(9)-1, Q&A-4, of the Treasury regulations.

(2) Distribution calendar year. A calendar year for which a minimum distribution is required. For distributions beginning before the Participant’s death, the first distribution calendar year is the calendar year immediately preceding the calendar year which contains the Participant’s required beginning date. For distributions beginning after the Participant’s death, the first distribution calendar year is the calendar year in which distributions are required to begin under Section 12.05(b)(2).

The Account balance for the valuation calendar year includes any amounts rolled over or transferred to the Plan either in the valuation calendar year or in the distribution calendar year if distributed or transferred in the valuation calendar year.

(5) Required beginning date. The date specified in Section 11.02 of the Plan.

(f) Special Rule. A designated beneficiary who is receiving payments under the 5-year rule may make a new election to receive payments under the life expectancy rule until December 31, 2003, provided that all amounts that would have been required to be distributed under the life expectancy rule for all distribution calendar years before 2004 are distributed by the earlier of December 31, 2003 or the end of the 5-year period.

12.06 Direct Rollover. With respect to any cash payment in excess of $200 hereunder which constitutes an Eligible Rollover Distribution, a Distributee may direct the Administrator to have such payment (other than from a Post-Tax Account) paid in the form of a Trustee Transfer, in accordance with the procedure established by the responsible Named Fiduciary, provided the responsible Named Fiduciary receives written notice of such direction with specific instructions as to the Eligible Retirement Plan on or prior to the applicable Sweep Date for payment.

MAXIMUM CONTRIBUTIONS

13.01 Limit on Pre-Tax Contributions. The aggregate elective deferrals (as defined in Section 402(g)(3) of the Code) made on behalf of each Participant under the Plan for any Plan Year will not exceed:

(a) the Contribution Dollar Limit, reduced by:

(b) the sum of any of the following amounts that were contributed on behalf of the Participant for the Plan Year under a plan, contract, or arrangement other than this Plan:

(1) any employer contribution under a qualified cash or deferred arrangement (as defined in Section 401(k) of the Code) to the extent not includable in the Participant’s gross income for the taxable year under Section 402(e)(3) of the Code (determined without regard to Section 402(g) of the Code);

(4) any elective employer contribution under Section 408 (p)(2)(A)(i) of the Code;

provided that no contribution described in this subsection (b) will be taken into account for the purpose of reducing the dollar limit in subsection (a), above, if the plan, contract, or arrangement is not maintained by a Commonly Controlled Entity unless the Participant has filed a notice with the Administrator not later than March 15 of the next Plan Year regarding such contribution.

13.02 Actual Deferral Percentage Test. The following will apply for Plan Years in which the Plan does not meet the requirements under Code Section 401(k)(12):

(a) The Plan will satisfy the actual deferral percentage test set forth in Section 401(k)(3) of the Code and Treasury Regulation Section 1.401(k)-1(b), the provisions of which (and any subsequent Internal Revenue Service guidance issued thereunder) are incorporated herein by reference, each as modified by subsection (b), below. In accordance with Section 401(k)(3) of the Code and Treasury Regulation Section 1.401(k)-1(b), as modified by subsection (b), below, the actual deferral percentage for HCEs for any Plan Year will not exceed the greater of:

(1) the actual deferral percentage for NHCEs for the current Plan Year multiplied by 1.25, or

(2) the lesser of: (i) the actual deferral percentage for NHCEs for the current Plan Year multiplied by 2; and (ii) the actual deferral percentage for NHCEs for the current Plan Year plus 2%.

(b) In performing the actual deferral percentage test described in subsection (a), above, the following special rules will apply:

(1) the deferral percentages of Participants who are covered by an agreement that the Secretary of Labor finds to be a collective bargaining agreement between employee representatives and an Employer will be disaggregated from the deferral percentages of other Participants and the provisions of this Section 13.02 will be applied separately with respect to each group.

(2) Employees who have not become eligible to become Participants will be disregarded in applying this Section 13.02.

(3) The Administrator may permissively aggregate the Plan with other plans to the extent permitted under Treasury Regulation Section 1.401(k)-1.

13.03 Actual Contribution Percentage Test. The following will apply for Plan Years in which the Plan does not meet the requirements under Code Section 401(m)(11):

(a) The Plan will satisfy the actual contribution percentage test set forth in Section 401(m)(2) of the Code and Treasury Regulation Section 1.401(m)-1(b), the provisions of which (and any subsequent Internal Revenue Service guidance issued thereunder) are incorporated herein by reference, each as modified by subsection (b), below. In accordance with Section 401(m)(2) of the Code and Treasury Regulation Section 1.401(m)-1(b), as modified by subsection (b), below, the actual contribution percentage for HCEs for any Plan Year will not exceed the greater of:

(1) the actual contribution percentage for NHCEs for the current Plan Year multiplied by 1.25, or

(2) the lesser of: (i) the actual contribution percentage for NHCEs for the current Plan Year multiplied by 2; and (ii) the actual contribution percentage for NHCEs for the current Plan Year plus 2%.

(b) In performing the actual contribution percentage test described in subsection (a), above, the following special rules will apply:

(2) Employees who have not become eligible to become Participants will be disregarded in applying this Section 13.03.

(3) The Administrator may permissively aggregate the Plan with other plans to the extent permitted under Treasury Regulation Section 1.401(m)-1.

13.04 Maximum Contributions.

(a) In addition to any other limitation set forth in the Plan and notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, in no event will the annual additions allocated to a Participant’s Account under the Plan, together with the aggregate annual additions allocated to the Participant’s accounts under all other defined contribution plans required to be aggregated with the Plan under the provisions of Section 415 of the Code, exceed the maximum amount permitted under Section 415 of the Code, the provisions of which are incorporated herein by reference.

(b) If the limitations imposed by this Section 13.05 apply to a Participant who is entitled to annual additions under one or more tax-qualified plans with which the Plan is aggregated for purposes of Section 415 of the Code, the annual additions under the Plan and such other plan or plans will be reduced in the following order, to the extent necessary to prevent the Participant’s benefits and/or annual additions from exceeding the limitations imposed by this Section:

(1) All other defined contribution plans in which the Participant participated and with which the Plan is aggregated for purposes of Section 415 of the Code, in an order based on the reverse chronology of the annual additions to the plans, beginning with the last annual addition and ending with the first annual addition; and

(2) the Plan.

13.05 Imposition of Limitations. Notwithstanding anything contained in the Plan to the contrary, the Administrator may, in his or her sole discretion, limit the amount of a Participant’s Pre-Tax Contributions during a Plan Year to the extent that he or she determines that the imposition of such a limit is necessary or appropriate to ensure that the Plan will satisfy the requirements of this Article. Any such limitation may be imposed on a Participant at any time and without advance notice to the Participant, and regardless of whether the Participant is covered by a collective bargaining agreement between employee representatives and an Employer. The Administrator can impose limitations beyond those that are absolutely necessary to satisfy the requirements of this Article and may, in his or her sole discretion, impose more restrictive limitations that are designed to enable the Plan to satisfy those requirements by a reasonable margin. Notwithstanding anything contained in the Plan to the contrary, in the event that the Contributions to be allocated to a Participant for a particular payroll period would cause the limitations of Section 13.05 to be exceeded with respect to a Participant, the Matching Contributions which otherwise would be made with respect to such Participant for such period will be first reduced or eliminated so that the limitations of Section 13.05 are not exceeded.

13.06 Return of Excess Annual Additions, Deferrals and Contributions.

(a) If a Participant’s Pre-Tax Contributions cause the annual additions allocated to a Participant’s Account to exceed the limit imposed by Section 13.05, such

excess contributions (plus or minus any gains or losses thereon) will be returned to the Participant in the following order: (i) Pre-Tax Contributions for which no Matching Contributions were made; and (ii) Pre-Tax Contributions for which Matching Contributions were made. Contributions returned pursuant to this subsection (a) will be disregarded in applying the limits imposed by Sections 13.01 through 13.04.

(b) After any excess annual additions (plus or minus any gains or losses thereon) with respect to a Plan Year have been distributed as provided in subsection (a), above, if a Participant’s aggregate elective deferrals (as defined in Section 402(g)(3) of the Code) with respect to a Plan Year exceed the Contribution Dollar Limit, the following rules will apply to such excess (the Participant’s “excess deferrals”):

(1) Not later than the first January 31 following the close of the Plan Year, the Participant may allocate to the Plan all or any portion of the Participant’s excess deferrals for the Plan Year (provided that the amount of the excess deferrals allocated to the Plan will not exceed the amount of the Participant’s Pre-Tax Contributions to the Plan for the Plan Year that have not been withdrawn or distributed) and will notify the Administrator of any amount allocated to the Plan.

(2) If excess deferrals have been made to the Plan on behalf of a Participant for a Plan Year, the Participant will be deemed to have allocated such excess deferrals to the Plan pursuant to subsection (b)(1), above, and the Plan will distribute such excess deferrals pursuant to subsection (b)(3), below.

(3) As soon as practicable, but in no event later than the first April 15th following the close of the Plan Year, the Plan will distribute to the Participant the amount allocated or deemed allocated to the Plan under subsection (b)(1) or (b)(2), above (plus or minus any gains or losses thereon). The distribution described in this subsection (b)(3) will be made notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan.

After any excess annual additions (plus or minus any gains or losses thereon) with respect to a Plan Year have been distributed as provided in subsection (a), above, after any excess deferrals (plus or minus any gains or losses thereon) with respect to a Plan Year have been distributed as provided in subsection (b), above, and after any action pursuant to Section 13.06 with respect to the Plan Year has been taken, if the actual deferral percentage for a Plan Year of HCEs exceeds the limit imposed by Section 13.02, the following rules apply:

(4) (A) The amount of the excess contributions (determined in accordance with Section 401(k)(8)(B) of the Code and subparagraph (3), below), plus or minus any gains or losses thereon (including, in the discretion of the Administrator, gains or losses attributable to the “gap period” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.401(k)-1(f)(4)), will be distributed to HCEs, beginning with the HCE with the highest dollar amount of Pre-Tax Contributions for the Plan Year in an amount required to cause that HCE’s Pre-Tax

Contributions to equal the dollar amount of the Pre-Tax Contributions of the HCE with the next highest dollar amount of Pre-Tax Contributions (or in such lesser amount that is equal to the total amount of excess contributions). The process described in the preceding sentence will continue until the reduction equals the total excess contributions made to the Plan.

(B) The distribution described in subparagraph (A), above, will be made as soon as practicable, but in no event later than the close of the Plan Year following the close of the Plan Year with respect to which the excess contributions were made.

(C) The gains or losses on excess contributions will be determined by multiplying the total annual earnings (positive or negative) for the Plan Year in the Participant’s Pre-Tax Account by the following fraction:

(i) The numerator of the fraction will be the amount of the excess contributions.

(ii) The denominator of the fraction will be the value of the Participant’s Pre-Tax Account as of the last day of the Plan Year (or at the end of the gap period, if elected by the Company), reduced by any positive earnings (or increased by any negative earnings) credited to the Participant’s Pre-Tax Account for the Plan Year (and for the gap period, if elected by the Company).

Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this subparagraph (C), in the discretion of the Administrator, the gains and losses on excess contributions will be determined in accordance with any method permitted under the Code and the applicable Treasury Regulations.

(5) The excess contributions to the Plan will be determined in accordance with Section 401(k)(8)(B) of the Code by performing the hypothetical calculation described in this subparagraph (2). The actual deferral percentage of the HCE with the highest individual actual deferral percentage will be reduced to the extent necessary to cause his or her actual deferral percentage to equal the actual deferral percentage of the HCE with the second highest individual actual deferral percentage (or, if it would result in a lesser reduction, to the extent necessary to cause the Plan to satisfy the actual deferral percentage test under Section 13.02). The excess contribution to the Plan is the amount by which the Pre-Tax Contributions of the HCE with the highest individual actual deferral percentage would have been reduced after the hypothetical reduction in actual deferral percentage described in the preceding sentence. This process will continue until no excess contributions remain.

The distribution described in subparagraph (1), above, will be made notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan. The amount distributed pursuant

to subparagraph (1), above, for a Plan Year with respect to a Participant will be reduced by any excess deferral previously distributed from the Plan to such Participant for the Participant’s taxable year ending with or within such Plan Year.

(c) If a Participant’s Pre-Tax Contributions (plus or minus any gains or losses thereon) are returned to him or her pursuant to the provisions of this Section 13.07, any Matching Contributions (plus or minus any gains or losses thereon) with respect to such returned Pre-Tax Contributions will be immediately forfeited. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if a Participant’s Pre-Tax Contributions are treated as Catch-up Contributions, any Matching Contributions (plus or minus any gains or losses thereon) with respect to such Pre-Tax Contributions will (1) be forfeited if such Pre-Tax Contributions are treated as Catch-up Contributions because of the limit imposed by Section 13.05, or (2) not be forfeited if such Pre-Tax Contributions are treated as Catch-up Contributions because of the Contribution Dollar Limit. Any such forfeitures will be applied to reduce the Company’s obligation to make Matching Contributions pursuant to Article IV.

(d) After any excess deferrals (plus or minus any gains or losses thereon), and any excess contributions (plus or minus any gains or losses thereon), with respect to a Plan Year have been distributed and/or re-characterized, in accordance with subsections (a), (b), (c), and (d), above, and after any action pursuant to Section 13.06 with respect to the Plan Year has been taken, if the contribution percentage for a Plan Year of HCEs exceeds the actual contribution percentage limit imposed by Section 13.03, the following rules will apply:

(1) The amount of the excess aggregate contributions for the Plan Year (determined in accordance with Section 401(m)(6)(B) of the Code and subparagraph (3), below), plus or minus any gains or losses thereon (including, in the discretion of the Company, gains or losses attributable to the “gap period” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.401(m)-1(e)(3)), will be distributed (or, if forfeitable, will be forfeited) as soon as practicable and in any event before the close of the Plan Year following the close of the Plan Year with respect to which the excess aggregate contributions were made.

(A) The gains or losses on excess aggregate contributions will be determined by multiplying the total annual earnings (positive or negative) for the Plan Year in the Participant’s Matching Account by the following fraction:

(i) The numerator of the fraction will be the amount of the excess aggregate contributions.

(ii) The denominator of the fraction will be the value of the Participant’s Matching Account as of the last day of the Plan Year (or at the end of the gap period, if elected by the Company), reduced by any positive earnings (or increased by any negative

earnings) credited to the Participant’s Matching Account for the Plan Year (and for the gap period, if elected by the Company).

Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this subparagraph (B), in the discretion of the Administrator, the gains and losses on excess contributions will be determined in accordance with any method permitted under the Code and the applicable Treasury Regulations.

(2) Any distribution in accordance with subparagraph (1), above, will be made to HCEs, beginning with the HCE with the highest dollar amount of Matching Contributions for the Plan Year in an amount required to cause that HCE’s Matching Contributions to equal the dollar amount of the Matching Contributions of the HCE with the next highest dollar amount of Matching Contributions (or in such lesser amount that is equal to the total amount of excess aggregate contributions). This process will continue until the reduction equals the total excess aggregate contributions made to the Plan. Such distributions will be made notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan.

(3) The excess aggregate contributions to the Plan will be determined in accordance with Section 401(m)(6)(B) of the Code by performing the hypothetical calculation described in this subparagraph (3). The actual contribution percentage of the HCE with the highest individual actual contribution percentage will be reduced to the extent necessary to cause his or her actual contribution percentage to equal the actual contribution percentage of the HCE with the second highest individual actual contribution percentage (or, if it would result in a lesser reduction, to the extent necessary to cause the Plan to satisfy the actual contribution percentage under Section 13.03). The excess aggregate contribution to the Plan is the amount by which the Matching Contributions on behalf of the HCE with the highest individual actual contribution percentage would have been reduced after the hypothetical reduction in actual contribution percentage described in the preceding sentence. This process will continue until no excess aggregate contributions remain.

The determination of the excess aggregate contributions under this subsection (e) for any Plan Year will be made after taking the measures called for by the preceding subsections of this Section 13.07.

13.07 Incorporation by Reference. Each incorporation by reference in this Article XIII of the provisions of Sections 401(k)(3), (m)(2), (m)(9) and 415 of the Code, and the specific underlying regulations thereunder, includes this incorporation by reference to any subsequent Internal Revenue Service guidance issued thereunder.

13.08 Additional Special Contributions. Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, in lieu of distributing excess contributions and/or excess aggregate contributions, as provided in Section 13.07(b)(4) and/or 13.07(d) above, the Company may make and allocate a Special Contribution to NHCEs in the Plan in an amount and

manner which will cause the Plan to meet the Actual Deferral Percentage and/or Actual Contribution Percentage tests for the Plan Year.

Except as provided in ERISA, the powers, duties and responsibilities of the Custodian shall be as stated in the Custodial Agreement, and unless expressly stated or delegated to the Custodian (with the Custodian’s acceptance), nothing contained in this Plan shall be deemed by implication to impose any additional powers, duties or responsibilities upon the Custodian. All Employer Contributions and Rollover Contributions shall be paid into the Trust, and all benefits payable under the Plan shall be paid from the Trust, except to the extent such amounts are paid to a Custodian other than the Trustee. An Employer shall have no rights or claims of any nature in or to the assets of the Plan except the right to require the Custodian to hold, use, apply and pay such assets in its hands, in accordance with the directions of the Management Committee, for the exclusive benefit of the Participants and their Beneficiaries, except as hereinafter provided.

14.04 Separate Entity. The Custodial Agreement under this Plan from its inception shall be a separate entity aside and apart from Employers or their assets, and the corpus and income thereof shall in no event and in no manner whatsoever be subject to the rights or claims of any creditor of any Employer.

14.05 Plan Asset Valuation. As of each Valuation Date, the Unit Value of the Plan’s assets held or posted to an Investment Fund shall be determined by the Management Committee or the Custodian, as appropriate.

(a) if the Plan receives an adverse determination with respect to its initial qualification under Sections 401(a), 401(k) and 401(m) of the Code, Contributions conditioned upon the qualification of the Plan shall be returned to the appropriate Employer within one (1) year of such denial of qualification; provided, that the application for determination of initial qualification is made by the time prescribed by law for filing the respective Employer’s return for the taxable year in which the Plan is adopted, or by such later date as is prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury under Section 403(c)(2)(B) of ERISA;

(d) any amounts held suspended pursuant to the limitations of Section 415 of the Code shall be returned to the Employers upon termination of the Plan.

All Contributions made hereunder are conditioned upon the Plan being qualified under Sections 401(a) or 401(k) and 401(m) of the Code and a deduction being allowed for such contributions under Section 404 of the Code. Pre-Tax Contributions returned to an Employer pursuant to this Section shall be paid to the Participant for whom contributed as soon as administratively convenient. If these provisions result in the return of Contributions after such amounts have been allocated to Accounts, such Accounts shall be reduced by the amount of the allocation attributable to such amount, adjusted for any losses or expenses.

authority and discretion to do the following. In the absence of a delegation pursuant to the terms of the Plan (including the delegation to the Administrator in Section 15.10 and the delegation to the Plan Administrator in Section 15.21), the Senior Vice President shall exercise this authority on behalf of the Plan and/or Trust:

(a) formulate, adopt, issue and apply procedures and rules and change, alter or amend such procedures and rules in accordance with law and as may be consistent with the terms of the Plan or Trust;

(b) specify the basis upon which payments are to be made under the Plan and, as the final appeals Fiduciary under Section 503 of ERISA, to make a final determination, based upon the information known to the Named Fiduciary within the scope of its authority and control as a Named Fiduciary, based upon determinations made and such other information made available from an Employer plus such final determinations made by each other Named Fiduciary within the scope of its authority and control, as are determined to be relevant to the final appeals Fiduciary;

(c) exercise such discretion as may be required to construe and apply the provisions of the Plan or Trust, subject only to the terms and conditions of the Plan or Trust;

(g) take all necessary and proper acts as are required for such Named Fiduciary to fulfill its duties and obligations under the Plan or Trust.

15.10 Responsibility and Powers of the Administrator Regarding Administration of the Plan. The Administrator shall have full and complete authority, responsibility and control (unless an allocation has been made to another Named Fiduciary in which case such Named Fiduciary shall have such authority, responsibility and control only if specifically provided) over that portion of the management, administration, and operation of the Plan or Trust allocated to the Administrator and the power to act on behalf of the Plan or Trust, including, but not limited to, the authority and discretion to:

(a) appoint and compensate such specialists (including attorneys, actuaries and accountants) to aid it in the administration of the Plan, and arrange for such other services, as the Administrator considers necessary or appropriate in carrying out the provisions of the Plan;

(b) appoint and compensate an independent outside accountant to conduct such audits of the financial statements of the Trust as the Administrator considers necessary or appropriate;

(e) take all necessary and proper acts as are required for the Administrator to fulfill its duties and obligations under the Plan or Trust.

15.11 Allocations and Delegations of Responsibility.

(a) Delegations. Each Named Fiduciary may designate persons (other than a Named Fiduciary) to carry out Fiduciary responsibilities (other than trustee responsibilities as described in Section 405(c)(3) of ERISA) it may have with respect to the Plan or Trust and make a change of delegated responsibilities. Such delegation shall specify the delegated person by name and either: (a) specify the discretionary authority with respect to which the person will be a Fiduciary; or (b) incorporate by reference an agreement with such Named Fiduciary to provide services to the Plan or Trust on behalf of the delegating Named Fiduciary as a means of specifying the discretionary authority with respect to which such person will be a Fiduciary. No person (other than an investment manager (as defined in Section 3(38) of ERISA) to whom Fiduciary responsibility has been delegated must consent to being a Fiduciary nor shall it be necessary for the Named Fiduciary to seek such person’s acquiescence; however, where such person has not contractually accepted the responsibility delegated, he or she must be given notification of the services to be performed and, in either case, will be deemed to have accepted such Fiduciary responsibility if he or she performs the services described for thirty (30) days or more without specific objection thereto. The discretionary authority any person who is delegated Fiduciary responsibilities hereunder may have shall be several and not joint with the Named Fiduciary delegating and each other Named Fiduciaries. A delegation of Fiduciary responsibility to a person which is not implemented in the manner set forth herein shall not be void; however, whether the delegating Named Fiduciary shall have joint liability for acts of such person shall be determined by applicable law.

(b) Allocations. The Compensation Committee, acting on behalf of the Company, may allocate Fiduciary responsibilities (other than trustee responsibilities described in Section 405(c)(3) of ERISA) among Named Fiduciaries when it designates

a Named Fiduciary in the manner described in Section 15.07, or may reallocate Fiduciary responsibilities among existing Named Fiduciaries by action of the Compensation Committee in accordance with Sections 15.06 and 15.07; provided each such Named Fiduciary is given notice of the services, management and control authority allocated to it either by way of an amendment to the Plan, Trust or a contract with such person, or by way of correspondence from the Compensation Committee, whichever is applicable. Each Named Fiduciary, by signing its contract or by accepting such amendment or correspondence and rendering the services requested without objection for thirty (30) days, shall be conclusively bound to have assumed such Fiduciary responsibility as a Named Fiduciary. An allocation of Fiduciary responsibility to a person which is not implemented in the manner set forth herein shall not be void; however, such person may not be a Named Fiduciary with respect to the Plan and Trust.

(c) Limit on Liability. Fiduciary duties and responsibilities which have been allocated or delegated pursuant to the terms of the Plan or the Trust, are intended to limit the liability of the Company, the Compensation Committee, the Senior Vice President, the Administrator, the Management Committee, and each Named Fiduciary, as appropriate, in accordance with the provisions of Section 405(c) of ERISA.

15.12 Bonding. The Administrator, acting on behalf of the Plan and Trust, shall serve without bond (except as otherwise required by federal law).

The Administrator and each Named Fiduciary may rely conclusively on the information certified to it by an Employer.

15.14 Information to be Supplied by Named Fiduciary. Whenever a term, definition, standard, protocol, policy, interpretation, rule, practice or procedure under an Administrative Services Agreement, or other basis for determining whether a Participant’s or Beneficiary’s accrued benefit, optional form of benefit, right or feature is required or used, the Named Fiduciary who has the authority to manage and control the administration and operation of the Plan with respect to such accrued benefit, optional form of payment, right or feature shall be solely responsible for establishing and maintaining such framework of definitions, standards, protocols, policies, interpretations, rules, practices and procedures under such Administrative Services Agreement and shall provide a copy thereof either: (1) to the Senior Vice President, upon its request, on behalf of the Company, (2) to the Compensation Committee, upon its request, on behalf of the Company, (3) to a Participant or Beneficiary but only to the extent required by law, or (4) to the extent required in any proceeding involving the Plan or any Named Fiduciary with respect to the Plan.

15.15 Misrepresentations. The Management Committee and the Administrator, acting on behalf of the Plan and Trust, may, but shall not be required to, rely upon any certificate, statement or other representation made to it by an Employee, Participant, other Named Fiduciary, or other individual with respect to any fact regarding any of the provisions of the Plan. If relied upon, any such certificate, statement or other representation shall be conclusively binding upon such Employee, Participant, other Named Fiduciary, or other individual or personal representative thereof, heir, or assignee (but not upon the Management Committee or the Administrator), and any such person shall thereafter be estopped from disputing the truth of any such certificate, statement or other representation.

15.16 Records. The regularly kept records of the designated Named Fiduciary (or, where applicable, the Trustee) and any Employer shall be conclusive evidence of a person’s age, his or her status as an Eligible Employee, and all other matters contained therein applicable to this Plan; provided that a Participant may request a correction in the record of his or her age at any time prior to retirement, and such correction shall be made if within ninety (90) days after such request he or she furnishes in support thereof a birth certificate, baptismal certificate, or other documentary proof of age satisfactory to the Administrator.

15.17 Plan Expenses. All expenses of the Plan which have been approved by the Administrator, acting on behalf of the Plan and Trust, respectively, shall be paid by the Trust except to the extent paid by the Employers; and if paid by the Employers, such Employers may, if authorized by the Senior Vice President acting on behalf of the Company, seek reimbursement of such expenses from the Trust and the Trust shall reimburse the Employers. If borne by the Employers, expenses of administering the Plan shall be borne by the Employers in such proportions as the Senior Vice President, acting on behalf of the Company, shall determine.

15.18 Fiduciary Capacity. Any person or group of persons may serve in more than one Fiduciary capacity with respect to the Plan.

15.19 Employer’s Agent. The Senior Vice President shall act as agent for the Company when acting on behalf of the Company and the Company shall act as agent for each Employer.

15.20 Plan Administrator.

15.21 Plan Administrator Duties and Power. The Plan Administrator will have full and complete authority, responsibility and control over the management, administration and operation of the Plan with respect to the following:

(a) satisfy all reporting and disclosure requirements applicable to the Plan, Trust or Plan Administrator under ERISA, the Code or other applicable law;

(j) take such actions as are necessary to establish and maintain the Plan in full and timely compliance with any law or regulation having pertinence to this Plan; and

(k) perform whatever responsibilities are delegated to the Plan Administrator by the Administrator.

15.22 Named Fiduciary Decisions Final. The decision of the Administrator, the Management Committee, or a Named Fiduciary in matters within its jurisdiction shall be final, binding, and conclusive upon the Employers and the Trustee and upon each Employee, Participant, Spouse, Beneficiary, and every other person or party interested or concerned.

15.23 No Agency. Each Named Fiduciary shall perform (or fail to perform) its responsibilities and duties or discretionary authority with respect to the Plan and Trust

as an independent contractor and not as an agent of the Company, any Employer, the Senior Vice President, the Compensation Committee, the Administrator or the Management Committee. No agency is intended to be created nor is the Administrator or the Management Committee empowered to create an agency relationship with a Named Fiduciary.

(D) constitute a statement of policy or guidance with respect to the Plan concerning the denied benefit for the Participant’s circumstances,

without regard to whether such advice was relied upon by the Administrator in making the benefit determination.

(b) Procedure for Filing a Claim. In order for a communication from a Claimant to constitute a valid Claim, it must satisfy the following paragraphs (1) and (2) of this paragraph (b).

(1) Any Claim submitted by a Claimant must be in writing on the appropriate Claim form (or in such other manner acceptable to the Administrator) and delivered, along with any supporting comments, documents, records and other information, to the Administrator in person, or by mail postage paid, to the address for the Administrator provided in the Summary Plan Description.

(2) Claims and appeals of denied Claims may be pursued by a Participant or an authorized representative of the Participant (each of whom will be referred to in this section as a “Claimant”). However, the Administrator may establish reasonable procedures for determining whether an individual has been authorized to act on behalf of a Participant.

(c) Initial Claim Review. The initial Claim review will be conducted by the Administrator, with or without the presence of the Claimant, as determined by the Administrator in its discretion. The Administrator will consider the applicable terms and provisions of the Plan and amendments to the Plan, information and evidence that is presented by the Claimant and any other information it deems relevant. In reviewing the Claim, the Administrator will also consider and be consistent with prior determinations of Claims from other Claimants who were similarly situated and which have been processed through the Plan’s claims and appeals procedures within the past 24 months.

(d) Initial Benefit Determination.

(1) The Administrator will notify the Claimant of the Administrator’s determination within a reasonable period of time, but in any event (except as described in paragraph (2) below) within 90 days after receipt of the Claim by the Administrator.

(2) The Administrator may extend the period for making the benefit determination by 90 days if it determines that such an extension is necessary due to matters beyond the control of the Plan and if it notifies the Claimant, prior to the expiration of the initial-90 day period, of circumstances requiring the extension of time and the date by which the Administrator expects to render a decision.

(e) Xxxxxx and Content of Notification of Adverse Benefit Determination.

(1) The Administrator will provide a Claimant with written or electronic Notice of any Adverse Benefit Determination, in accordance with applicable Department of Labor regulations.

(f) Procedure for Filing a Review of an Adverse Benefit Determination.

(1) Any appeal of an Adverse Benefit Determination by a Claimant must be brought to the Administrator within 60 days after receipt of the Notice of the Adverse Benefit Determination. Failure to appeal within such 60-day period will be deemed to be a failure to exhaust all administrative remedies under the Plan. The appeal must be in writing utilizing the appropriate form provided by the Administrator (or in such other manner acceptable to the Administrator); provided, however, that if the Administrator does not provide the appropriate form, no particular form is required to be utilized by the Participant. The appeal must be filed with the Administrator at the address listed in the Summary Plan Description.

(2) A Claimant will have the opportunity to submit written comments, documents, records and other information relating to the Claim.

(2) The Claimant will be provided, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to and copies of all Relevant Documents.

(3) The review procedure may not require more than two levels of appeals of an Adverse Benefit Determination.

(h) Timing and Notification of Benefit Determination on Review. The Administrator will notify the Claimant within a reasonable period of time, but in any event within 60 days after the Claimant’s request for review, unless the Administrator determines that special circumstances require an extension of time for processing the review of the Adverse Benefit Determination. If the Administrator determines that an extension is required, written Notice will be furnished to the Claimant prior to the end of the initial 60-day period indicating the special circumstances requiring an extension of time and the date by which the Administrator expects to render the determination on review, which in any event will be within 60 days from the end of the initial 60-day period. If such an extension is necessary due to a failure of the Claimant to submit the information necessary to decide the Claim, the period in which the Administrator is required to make a decision will be tolled from the date on which the notification is sent to the Claimant until the Claimant adequately responds to the request for additional information.

(i) Xxxxxx and Content of Notification of Benefit Determination on Review.

(1) The Administrator will provide a written or electronic Notice of the Plan’s benefit determination on review, in accordance with applicable Department of Labor regulations.

(2) The Notification will set forth:

by specific reference: (i) provisions concerning the filing of a Claim for a benefit and the initial disposition of a Claim; and (ii) a grievance and arbitration procedure to which Adverse Benefit Determinations are subject, then Section 16.01(c) through and including Section 16.01(i) will not apply to such Claim.

A Participant or other person may record any change of his or her address from time to time by following the procedures established by the Administrator.

16.03 Notices to Administrator. Any written direction, notice or other communication from Participants or any other person entitled to or claiming benefits under the Plan to the Administrator will be deemed to have been duly given, made or transmitted either when delivered to such location as will be specified upon the forms prescribed by the Administrator for the giving of such direction, notice or other communication or when otherwise received by the Administrator.

ARTICLE XVII

ADOPTION AND WITHDRAWAL FROM PLAN

17.01 Procedure for Adoption. Any Commonly Controlled Entity may adopt the Plan for the benefit of its Eligible Employees by resolution of such Commonly Controlled Entity’s board of directors and by completing (or the Senior Vice President completing pursuant to its authority to amend the Plan) one or more Appendices with respect to such Employees, which adoption shall be effective as of the date specified in the board resolution. No such adoption shall be effective until such adoption and any such Appendix to be used in connection therewith has been approved by the Senior Vice President.

17.02 Procedure for Withdrawal. Any Employer (other than the Company) may, by resolution of the board of directors of such Employer, with the consent of the Senior Vice President and subject to such conditions as may be imposed by the Senior Vice President (or the Senior Vice President acting on behalf of the Company pursuant to its authority to amend this Plan), terminate its adoption of the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Employer will be deemed to have terminated its adoption of the Plan when it ceases to be a Commonly Controlled Entity.

ARTICLE XVIII

AMENDMENT, TERMINATION AND MERGER

18.01 Amendments.

(a) Power to Amend. The Company, by action of its Board of Directors on behalf of all Employers, the Management Resources and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”) on behalf of the Board of Directors, the Senior Vice President as provided in Subsection (c) below, or the Administrator as provided in Subsection (d) below, may amend, modify, change, revise or discontinue this Plan or any Appendix, in whole or in part, or with respect to all persons or a designated group of persons, by amendment at any time; provided, however, that no amendment shall:

(1) increase the duties or liabilities of the Custodian, the Administrator or the Management Committee without its written consent;

(2) have the effect of vesting in any Employer any interest in any funds, securities or other property, subject to the terms of this Plan and the Custodial Agreement;

(3) authorize or permit at any time any part of the corpus or income of the Plan’s assets to be used or diverted to purposes other than for the exclusive benefit of Participants and Beneficiaries;

(4) except to the extent permissible under XXXXX and the Code, make it possible for any portion of the Trust assets to revert to an Employer to be used for, or diverted to, any purpose other than for the exclusive benefit of Participants and Beneficiaries entitled to Plan benefits and to defray reasonable expenses of administering the Plan;

(5) permit an Employee to be paid the balance of his or her Pre-Tax Account unless the payment would otherwise be permitted under Section 401(k) of the Code; and

(6) have any retroactive effect as to deprive any such person of any benefit already accrued, except that no amendment made in order to conform the Plan as a plan described in Section 401(a) of the Code of which amendments are permitted by the Code or are required or permitted by any other statute relating

to employees’ trusts, or any official regulations or rulings issued pursuant thereto, shall be considered prejudicial to the rights of any such person.

(b) Restriction on Amendment. No amendment to the Plan shall deprive a Participant of his or her nonforfeitable rights to benefits accrued to the date of the amendment. Further, if the vesting schedule of the plan is amended, each Participant with at least three (3) years of service for vesting with the Employer may elect, within a reasonable period after the adoption of the amendment, to have his or her nonforfeitable percentage computed under the Plan without regard to such amendment. The period during which the election may be made shall commence with the date the amendment is adopted and shall end on the latest of:

(1) sixty (60) days after the amendment is adopted;

(2) sixty (60) days after the amendment becomes effective; or

(3) sixty (60) days after the Participant is issued written notice of the amendment by the Employer, the Senior Vice President or the Administrator.

The preceding language concerning an amendment to the Plan’s vesting schedule shall also apply when a Plan with a different vestinsg schedule is merged into this Plan. In addition to the foregoing, the Plan shall not be amended so as to eliminate an optional form of payment of an Accrued Benefit attributable to employment prior to the date of the amendment. The foregoing limitations do not apply to benefit accrual occurring after the date of the amendment.

(c) The Senior Vice President. The Senior Vice President, acting on behalf of the Company, may amend, modify, change or revise the Plan or any Appendix, in whole or in part, or with respect to all persons or a designated group of persons; provided, however: (i) no such action may be taken if it could not have been adopted under this Section by the Board of Directors; (ii) no such action may be taken if it causes a change in the level or type of contributions to be made to the Plan or otherwise materially increase the duties and obligations of any or all Employers with respect to the Plans; and (iii) no such action may amend Articles XV and XVIII.

(d) The Administrator. The Administrator, acting on behalf of the Plan, may amend, modify, change or revise the Plan or any Appendix, in whole or in part, provided, however, such amendment may only: (1) implement other amendments either adopted by the Senior Vice President on behalf of the Company or pursuant to subparagraph (a) hereof, and, further, the Administrator will have no discretionary authority when causing such implementing amendments to be drafted and adopted, except where required by law; (2) be drafted and adopted to cause the Plan to be tax-exempt under the Code; or (3) be drafted and adopted to comply with other applicable law. All expenses incurred in connection with the preparation and adoption of amendments by the Administrator will be charged to the Plan and Trust.

18.02 Plan Termination. It is the expectation of the Company that it will continue the Plan and the payment of Contributions hereunder indefinitely, but the continuation of the Plan and the payment of Contributions hereunder is not assumed as a contractual obligation of the Company or any other Employer. The right is reserved by the Company to terminate the Plan at any time, and the right is reserved by the Company by action of its Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee. The Senior Vice President, acting on behalf of the Company, has the authority pursuant to its power to amend the Plan at any time to reduce, suspend or discontinue its or any other Employer’s Contributions hereunder (but not to terminate the Plan or Trust); provided, however, that the Contributions for any Plan Year accrued or determined prior to the end of said year shall not after the end of said year be retroactively reduced, suspended or discontinued, except as may be permitted by law. Upon termination of the Plan or complete discontinuance of Contributions hereunder (other than for the reason that the Employer has had no net profits or accumulated net profits), each Participant’s Accrued Benefit shall be fully vested. Upon termination of the Plan or a complete discontinuance of Contributions, unclaimed amounts shall be applied as forfeitures and any unallocated amounts shall be allocated to Participants who are Eligible Employees as of the date of such termination or discontinuance on the basis of Compensation for the Plan Year (or short Plan Year). Upon a partial termination of the Plan, the Accrued Benefit of each affected Participant shall be fully vested. In the event of termination of the Plan, the Administrator shall direct the Custodian to distribute to each Participant the entire amount of his or her Accrued Benefit as soon as administratively possible, but not earlier than would be permitted in order to retain the Plan’s qualified status under Sections 401(a), (k) and (m) of the Code, as if all Participants who are Employees had incurred a Termination of Employment on the Plan’s termination date. Should a Participant or a Beneficiary not elect immediate payment of a nonforfeitable Accrued Benefit in excess of one thousand dollars ($1,000), the Administrator shall direct the Custodian to continue the Plan and Custodial Agreement for the sole purpose of paying to such Participant his or her Accrued Benefit or death benefit, respectively, unless, in the opinion of the Administrator, to make immediate single sum payments to such Participant or Beneficiary would not adversely affect the tax qualified status of the Plan upon termination and would not impose additional liability upon any Employer or the Custodian.

18.03 Plan Merger.

(a) General. The Plan shall not merge or consolidate with, or transfer any assets or liabilities to any other plan, unless each person entitled to benefits would receive a benefit immediately after the merger, consolidation or transfer (if the Plan were then terminated) which is equal to or greater than the benefit he or she would have been entitled to immediately before the merger, consolidation or transfer (if the Plan were then terminated). Pursuant to Section 15.02(a)(3) of the Plan, the Senior Vice President shall amend or take such other action as is necessary to amend the Plan in order to satisfy the requirements applicable to any merger, consolidation or transfer of assets and liabilities.

(b) Xxxxxxxx. Effective January 1, 1998, or, if later, the date a Participant becomes a Hussmann Participant, the assets and liabilities for each Hussmann Participant shall be transferred to the Hussmann Plan based upon the Unit Value thereof as of the close of the last Business Day in 1997, or, if later, the Business Day immediately preceding the date a Participant becomes a Hussmann Participant.

(c) Midas. Effective January 1, 1998, or, if later, the date a Participant becomes a Midas Participant, the assets and liabilities for each Midas Participant shall be transferred to the Midas Plan based upon the Unit Value thereof as of the close of the last Business Day in 1997, or, if later, the Business Day immediately preceding the date a Participant becomes a Midas Participant.

(1) All benefit accruals with respect to each employee of Princetonco who is a Participant shall cease.

(2) Notwithstanding any term or provision of the Plan to the contrary: (A) the transfer of Princetonco to White Co., Inc. shall not result in a Termination of Employment for an Employee of Princetonco, nor shall it constitute an event resulting in a distribution from the Plan; and (B) a Termination of Employment shall be deemed to occur when such individual ceases to be an employee of The Pepsi Bottling Group, Inc. and its commonly controlled entities (within the meaning of Section 414(b) of the Code).

(3) Pursuant to the terms of the Xxxxxxx Transfers Employee Benefits Agreement between Xxxxxxx Corporation and White Co., Inc. dated as of March 19, 1999 (the “Agreement”), the Accrued Benefit of each “Transferred Individual” (as defined in the Agreement) shall be transferred, as provided in such Agreement, to the “PepsiCo Savings Plan” (as defined in the Agreement) and assets equal to such Accrued Benefit as of the same date (“Transfer Date”) shall be transferred in cash from the Xxxxxxx Corporation Defined Contribution Master Trust to the related trust for such PepsiCo Savings Plan; provided, however, if a Participant has outstanding a promissory note payable to the Plan, such note shall be substituted for cash in an amount equal to principal and accrued interest on such Transfer Date.

(4) Notwithstanding any term or provision of the Plan to the contrary, prior to the Transfer Date, each Transferred Individual (or their Alternate Payees pursuant to a QDRO) shall be treated as an Employee for purposes of: (A) eligibility for, or repayment of, a loan described in Article IX; or (B) making a withdrawal from the Plan described in Article X.

(e) Pepsi-Cola General Bottlers of Virginia, Inc. (“Marionco”). Effective upon the transfer of Marionco to White Co., Inc., a subsidiary of The Pepsi Bottling Group, Inc., Marionco shall cease to be an Employer for purposes of the Plan, as follows:

(2) Notwithstanding any term or provision of the Plan to the contrary: (A) the transfer of Marionco to White Co., Inc. shall not result in a Termination of Employment for an Employee of Marionco, nor shall it constitute an event resulting in a distribution from the Plan; and (B) a Termination of Employment shall be deemed to occur when such individual ceases to be an employee of The Pepsi Bottling Group, Inc. and its commonly controlled entities (within the meaning of Section 414(b) of the Code).

ARTICLE XIX

SPECIAL TOP-HEAVY RULES

The top-heavy requirements of Section 416 of the Code and this Article XIX will not apply in any Plan Year beginning after December 31, 2001, in which contributions to the Plan consist solely of contributions under a cash or deferred arrangement which meets the requirements of Section 401(k)(12) of the Code and matching contributions with respect to which the requirements of Section 401(m)(11) of the Code are met.

19.01 Application of Article XIX. This Article XIX will apply only if the Plan is Top-Heavy, as defined below. If, as of any Top-Heavy Determination Date, as defined below, the Plan is Top-Heavy, the provisions of Section 19.04 will take effect as of the

first day of the Plan Year next following the Top-Heavy Determination Date and will continue to be in effect until the first day of any subsequent Plan Year following a Top-Heavy Determination Date as of which it is determined that the Plan is no longer Top-Heavy.

19.02 Definitions Concerning Top-Heavy Status. In addition to the definitions set forth in Article I, the following definitions will apply for purposes of this Article XIX, and will be interpreted in accordance with the provisions of Section 416 of the Code:

(a) Aggregation Group - a group of Company Plans consisting of each Company Plan in the Required Aggregation Group and each other Company Plan selected by the Company for inclusion in the Aggregation Group that would not, by its inclusion, prevent the group of Company Plans included in the Aggregation Group from continuing to meet the requirements of Sections 401(a)(4) and 410 of the Code.

(b) Annual Compensation - compensation for a calendar year within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.415-2(d)(11)(ii) to the extent that such compensation does not exceed the annual compensation limit in effect for the calendar year under Section 401(a)(17) of the Code.

(c) Company Plan - any plan of any Commonly Controlled Entity that is, or that has been determined by the Internal Revenue Service to be, qualified under Section 401(a) or 403(a) of the Code.

(d) Key Employee - any employee of any Commonly Controlled Entity who satisfies the criteria set forth in Section 416(i)(1) of the Code.

(e) Required Aggregation Group - one or more Company Plans comprising each Company Plan in which a Key Employee is a participant and each Company Plan that enables any Company Plan in which a Key Employee is a participant to meet the requirements of Section 401(a)(4) or 410 of the Code.

(f) Top-Heavy - the Plan is included in an Aggregation Group under which, as of the Top-Heavy Determination Date, the sum of the actuarial present value of the cumulative accrued benefits for Key Employees under all defined benefit plans in the Aggregation Group and the aggregate of the accounts of Key Employees under all defined contribution plans in the Aggregation Group exceeds sixty percent (60%) of the analogous sum determined for all employees. The determination of whether the Plan is Top-Heavy will be made in accordance with Section 416(g)(2)(B) of the Code.

(g) Top-Heavy Determination Date - the December 31 immediately preceding the Plan Year for which the determination is made.

(h) Top-Heavy Ratio - the percentage calculated in accordance with subparagraph (f), above, and Section 416(g)(2) of the Code.

(i) Top-Heavy Year - a Plan Year for which the Plan is Top-Heavy.

19.03 Calculation of Top-Heavy Ratio. The Top-Heavy Ratio with respect to any Plan Year will be determined in accordance with the following rules:

(a) Determination of Accrued Benefits: The accrued benefit of any current Participant will be calculated, as of the most recent valuation date that is within a 12-month period ending on the Top-Heavy Determination Date as if the Participant had voluntarily terminated employment as of such valuation date. Such valuation date will be the same valuation date used for computing plan costs for purposes of the minimum funding provisions of Section 412 of the Code. Unless, as of the valuation date, the Plan provides for a nonproportional subsidy, the actuarial present value of the accrued benefit will reflect a retirement income commencing at age 65 (or attained age, if later). If, as of the valuation date, the Plan provides for a nonproportional subsidy, the benefit will be assumed to commence at the age at which the benefit is most valuable. The present values of accrued benefits and the amounts of account balances of an employee as of the Top-Heavy Determination Date will 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 1-year period ending on the Top-Heavy Determination Date. The preceding sentence will 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 severance from service, death, or disability, this provision will be applied by substituting “5-year period” for “1-year period.” The accrued benefits and accounts of any individual who has not performed services for the employer during the 1-year period ending on the determination date will not be taken into account.

(b) Aggregation. The Plan will be aggregated with all Company Plans included in the Aggregation Group.

19.04 Effect of Top-Heavy Status.

(a) Minimum Contribution. Notwithstanding Article IV, as of the last day of each Top-Heavy Year, the Employer will make, for each Participant: (i) the contributions it otherwise would have made under the Plan for such Top-Heavy Year; or, if greater, (ii) contributions for such Top-Heavy Year that, when added to the contributions made by the Employer for such Participant (and any forfeitures allocated to his or her Accounts) for such Top-Heavy Year under all other defined contribution plans of any Commonly Controlled Entity, aggregate three percent (3%) of his or her Annual Compensation; provided, that the Plan will meet the requirements of this subsection (a) without taking into account Pre-Tax Contributions or other employer contributions attributable to a salary reduction or similar arrangements. 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.

(b) Inapplicability to Union Employees. The preceding provisions of this Section 19.04 will not apply with respect to any employee included in a unit of employees covered by an agreement that the Secretary of Labor finds to be a collective bargaining agreement between employee representatives and the Employer, if there is evidence that retirement benefits were the subject of good faith bargaining between such employee representatives and the Employer.

19.05 Effect of Discontinuance of Top-Heavy Status. If, for any Plan Year after a Top-Heavy Year, the Plan is no longer Top-Heavy, the provisions of Section 19.04 will not apply with respect to such Plan Year.

19.06 Intent of Article XIX. This Article XIX is intended to satisfy the requirements imposed by Section 416 of the Code and will be construed in a manner that will effectuate this intent. This Article XIX will not be construed in a manner that would impose requirements on the Plan that are more stringent than those imposed by Section 416 of the Code.

ARTICLE XX

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

20.01 Assignment and Alienation. As provided by Section 401(a)(13) of the Code and to the extent not otherwise required by law, no benefit provided by the Plan may be anticipated, assigned or alienated, except:

(a) to create, assign or recognize a right to any benefit with respect to a Participant pursuant to a QDRO, or

(b) to use a Participant’s vested Account balance as security for a loan from the Plan which is permitted pursuant to Section 4975 of the Code.

20.02 Protected Benefits. All benefits which are protected by the terms of Section 411(d)(6) of the Code and Section 204(g) of ERISA which cannot be eliminated without adversely affecting the qualified status of the Plan on and after the Effective Date, shall be provided under this Plan to Participants for whom such benefits are protected. The Administrator shall cause such benefits to be determined and the terms and provisions of the Plan immediately prior to the Effective Date are incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof, but only to the extent such terms and provisions are so protected. Otherwise, they shall operate within the terms and provisions of this Plan, as determined by the Administrator.

20.03 Plan Does Not Affect Employment Rights. The Plan does not provide any employment rights to any Employee. The Employer expressly reserves the right to discharge an Employee at any time, with or without cause, without regard to the effect such discharge would have upon the Employee’s interest in the Plan.

20.04 Deduction of Taxes from Amounts Payable. The Custodian shall deduct from the amount to be distributed such amount as the Custodian, in its sole discretion, deems proper to protect the Custodian and the Plan’s assets held under the Custodial Agreement against liability for the payment of death, succession, inheritance, income, or other taxes, and out of money so deducted, the Custodian may discharge any such liability and pay the amount remaining to the Participant, the Beneficiary or the deceased Participant’s estate, as the case may be.

20.05 Facility of Payment. If a Participant or Beneficiary is declared an incompetent or is a minor and a conservator, guardian, or other person legally charged with his or her care has been appointed, any benefits to which such Participant or Beneficiary is entitled shall be payable to such conservator, guardian, or other person legally charged with his or her care. The decision of the Administrator in such matters shall be final, binding, and conclusive upon the Employer and the Custodian and upon each Employee, Participant, Beneficiary, and every other person or party interested or concerned. An Employer, the Custodian and the Administrator shall not be under any duty to see to the proper application of such payments.

20.06 Source of Benefits. All benefits payable under the Plan shall be paid or provided for solely from the Plan’s assets held under the Custodial Agreement and the Employers assume no liability or responsibility therefor.

20.07 Indemnification. To the extent permitted by law, each Employer shall indemnify and hold harmless each member (and former member) of the Board of Directors, the Senior Vice President, the Administrator (and each former Administrator), the Management Committee (and each former member of the Management Committee), and each officer and employee (and each former officer and employee) of an Employer to whom are (or were) delegated duties, responsibilities, and authority with respect to the Plan against all claims, liabilities, fines and penalties, and all expenses reasonably incurred by or imposed upon him or her (including but not limited to reasonable attorney fees and amounts paid in any settlement relating to the Plan) by reason of his or her service under the Plan if he or she did not act dishonestly, with gross negligence, or otherwise in knowing violation of the law under which such liability, loss, cost or expense arises. This indemnity shall not preclude such other indemnities as may be available under insurance purchased or provided by an Employer under any by-law, agreement, or otherwise, to the extent permitted by law. Payments of any indemnity, expenses or fees under this Section shall be made solely from assets of the Employer and shall not be made directly or indirectly from the assets of the Plan.

20.08 Reduction for Overpayment. The Administrator shall, whenever it determines that a person has received benefit payments under this Plan in excess of the amount to which the person is entitled under the terms of the Plan, make two reasonable attempts to collect such overpayment from the person.

20.09 Limitation on Liability. No Employer nor any agent or representative of any Employer who is an employee, officer, or director of an Employer in any manner guarantees the assets of the Plan against loss or depreciation, and, to the extent not

prohibited by federal law, none of them shall be liable (except for his or her own gross negligence or willful misconduct), for any act or failure to act, done or omitted in good faith, with respect to the Plan. No Employer shall be responsible for any act or failure to act of any Custodian appointed to administer the assets of the Plan.

20.10 Company Merger. In the event any successor corporation to the Company, by merger, consolidation, purchase or otherwise, shall elect to adopt the Plan, such successor corporation shall be substituted hereunder for the Company upon filing in writing with the Custodian its election so to do.

20.11 Employees’ Trust. The Plan and Custodial Agreement are created for the exclusive purpose of providing benefits to the Participants in the Plan and their Beneficiaries and defraying reasonable expenses of administering the Plan, and the Plan and Custodial Agreement shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with their being, respectively, a Plan described in Sections 401(a), 401(k) and 401(m) of the Code and Custodial Agreements exempt under Section 501(a) of the Code. At no time shall the assets of the Plan be diverted from the above purpose.

20.12 Gender and Number. Except when the context indicates to the contrary, when used herein, masculine terms shall be deemed to include the feminine, and singular the plural.

20.13 Invalidity of Certain Provisions. If any provision of this Plan shall be held invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions hereof and the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if such provisions, to the extent invalid or unenforceable, had not been included.

20.14 Headings. The headings or articles are included solely for convenience of reference, and if there is any conflict between such headings and the text of this Plan, the text shall control.

20.15 Uniform and Nondiscriminatory Treatment. Any discretion exercisable hereunder by an Employer, the Senior Vice President, the Administrator, or the Management Committee shall be exercised in a uniform and nondiscriminatory manner.

20.16 Law Governing. The Plan shall be construed and enforced according to the laws of the state in which the Trust is located, to the extent not preempted by ERISA.

20.17 Military Service. Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, contributions, benefits and service credit with respect to qualified military service will be provided in accordance with Section 414(u) of the Code.

20.18 Notice and Information Requirements. Except as otherwise provided in this Plan or in the Custodial Agreement or as otherwise required by law, the Employer shall have no duty or obligation to affirmatively disclose to any Participant or Beneficiary, nor shall any Participant or Beneficiary have any right to be advised of, any material information regarding the Employer, at any time prior to, upon or in connection

with the Employer’s purchase, or any other distribution or transfer (or decision to defer any such distribution) of any Company Stock or any other stock held under the Plan.
