For purposes of this Section 2.59, Hours of Service credited for periods of employment with CitiStreet or the Company during the 2008 Plan Year shall be counted only one time, either under the applicable Citigroup or State Street plan or the Plan.

Vesting Service shall also include the period of Vesting Service taken into account under the Plan as in effect on December 31, 2007.

An Employee shall be credited with a number of “Years of Vesting Service” equal to the Employee’ periods of Vesting Service expressed as the number of whole years within such period or periods. In determining the number of whole Years of Vesting Service, all periods of Vesting Service shall be aggregated and counted on the basis that 12 months of Vesting Service or 365 days of Vesting Service are equal to one (1) whole Year of Vesting Service.

Section 2.60 Vesting Termination from Service .

-12-

“Vesting Termination from Service” means, for any Employee, the termination of his or her vesting service upon the occurrence of his or her Vesting Termination from Service Date.

Section 2.61 Vesting Termination from Service Date.

“Vesting Termination from Service Date” means the date which is the earlier of (a) the earliest of the date on which the Employee’s Career Agent Agreement with the Company terminates as a result of the Employee’s quitting, retiring, death or being discharged from employment with the Company; or (b) the first anniversary of the date on which the Employee’s Career Agent Agreement with the Company terminates for any reason other than by quit, retirement, death or discharge. Notwithstanding the preceding, if the Employee’s Career Agent Agreement is terminated and the Employee becomes a common law employee of, or a full-time life insurance salesman (within the meaning of Code §3121(d)(2)(B)), or otherwise maintains a sales, services, consulting or similar contract of any type with respect to, the Company or an Affiliate, then “Vesting Termination from Service” means the earlier of the date on which (i) the Employee ceases to be such common law employee, full-time life insurance salesman or a termination of such sales, services, consulting or similar contract, as a result of the Employee’s quitting, retiring, death or being discharged from the employment of the Company or an Affiliate; or (ii) the first anniversary of the date on which the Employee ceases to be such common law employee, full-time life insurance salesman, or a termination of such sales, services, consulting or similar contract, for any reason other than quit, retirement, death or discharge.

ARTICLE IV
Automatic enrollment; 401(k) PROVISIONS

Section 4.1 Automatically Enrolled Participants. A Participant hired on or after March 1, 2008, shall be automatically enrolled in the Plan effective as of his or her date of hire with the Company. The amount of his or her Deferral Contribution shall equal 3% of Compensation for the first full year of participation, and the deferral percentage shall increase each Plan Year thereafter at the rate of 1%, until the deferral equals 6%. Upon reaching 6%, no further automatic increases shall apply to the deferral percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Participant who has been automatically enrolled in the Plan under this Section 4.1 may change the percentage of Compensation contributed as a Deferral Contribution amount at any time pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.2 and a Participant who makes such a change shall no longer be treated as automatically enrolled pursuant to this Section 4.1. A Participant who is automatically enrolled pursuant to this Section 4.1 may elect within 90 days after the pay date on which a Deferral Contribution has first been withheld from his or her compensation, to cease participation in the Plan and receive a distribution of all amounts deferred pursuant to this Section 4.1, adjusted for any investment gains or loses thereon. A withdrawal election shall be effective on the last day of the payroll period that begins after the date the election is made. A Participant electing such a withdrawal shall be treated as having elected to stop making Deferral Contributions. The Committee or the Administrative Delegate will provide such notice of the automatic enrollment, withdrawal right and default investment option as is required under Code §414(w).

Section 4.2 Deferral Contributions. Each Participant, including a Participant who is automatically enrolled under Section 4.1, may elect to make or change the amount of his or her Deferral Contributions, subject to the following:

(a) A Participant may choose the amount, if any, by which his or her Compensation shall be reduced; provided, however, in no event shall the amount (determined without regard to any Catch-up Contributions described in Section 4.3) exceed 50% of his or her Compensation. A Participant may modify such election at any time.

(b) The Company will make a cash contribution to the Plan equal to his or her Deferral Contributions, and that contribution will be allocated to his or her Deferral Account.

(c) A Participant’s total Deferral Contributions under this Plan and “elective deferrals” within the meaning of Code §402(g) under all other qualified plans, contracts and arrangements maintained by the Company or any other Affiliate during any calendar year (except to the extent contributions are refunded to reduce a Code §415 excess under Section 5.1 or other plans) shall not exceed the annual dollar limit under Code §402(g). In the event that a Participant’s Deferral Contributions together with other elective deferrals exceed this limitation, the Participant may request a refund (or under certain circumstances shall be deemed to have made a request for a refund) under Section 5.3 and the excess shall be refunded in accordance with Section 5.3. Any “elective deferrals” within the meaning of Code §402(g) made for a calendar year on behalf of a Participant under plans or contracts of an employer that is not an Affiliate (for example, another employer’s Code §401(k) plan or tax sheltered annuity) also shall be added to his or her Deferral Contributions and other deferrals for purposes of the limitations under this Section 4.2(c).

-15-

(d) Deferral Contribution elections are subject to rules established by the Committee or Administrative Delegate. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, elective Deferral Contribution and Catch-Up Contribution elections must be made in advance of the date such contributions are deducted from a Participant’s Compensation.

(e) A Participant who elects a withdrawal pursuant to Section 4.1 will be deemed to have made an affirmative election to cease all Deferral Contributions to the Plan, but may change his or her election at any time.

(f) Each Transferred CitiStreet Employee who becomes an active Participant in the Plan pursuant to Section 3.3 shall have his or her pre-tax salary deferral rate in effect on June 30, 2008 in the Citigroup 401(k) Plan or the State Street Salary Savings Plan (as provided by Citigroup or State Street to the Company in connection with the acquisition of CitiStreet effective July 1, 2008) be treated, for all purposes of the Plan, as the Participant’s elected Deferral Contribution under the Plan. The Participant may change his or her Deferral Contribution at any time pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4.2.

Section 4.3 Catch-Up Contributions.

(a) All Participants who are eligible to make Deferral Contributions to this Plan and who have attained age 50 before the close of a Plan Year shall be eligible to make Catch-Up Contributions for such Plan Year or any subsequent Plan Year in accordance with, and subject to the limitations of, Code §414(v). A Participant electing to make Catch-Up Contributions shall do so by completing the form required by the Committee or the Administrative Delegate. Such Catch-Up Contributions shall begin as soon as possible after receipt of such required forms. Catch-Up Contributions shall not be taken into account for purposes of the provisions of the Plan implementing the required limitations of Code §§ 402(g) and 415. The Plan shall not be treated as failing to satisfy the provisions of the Plan implementing the requirements of Code §§ 401(k)(3), 410(b), or 416, as applicable, by reason of the making of such Catch-Up Contributions. Catch-Up Contributions (and investment gains or losses or such contributions) shall be credited to a Participant’s Catch-Up Account.

(b) Each Transferred CitiStreet Employee who becomes an active Participant in the Plan pursuant to Section 3.3 shall have his or her catch-up contribution in effect on July 1, 2008 in the Citigroup 401(k) Plan or the State Street Salary Savings Plan (as provided by Citigroup or State Street to the Company in connection with the acquisition of CitiStreet effective July 1, 2008) be treated, for all purposes of the Plan, as the Participant’s elected Catch-Up Contribution under the Plan. The Participant may change his or her Catch-Up Contribution at any time pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4.3.

-16-

Section 4.4 Matching Contributions.

(a) For each pay period, the Company shall contribute, in cash, the amount of Matching Contribution required with respect to that pay period. The amount required to be contributed and allocated to each Participant’s Matching Account shall be 60% of the Participant’s Deferral Contribution but not in excess of 6% of Compensation. Deferral Contributions in excess of 6% of Compensation in the pay period shall not be matched. Further, any contribution that, at the time it is made, is intended as a Catch-Up Contribution under Section 4.3 or Code §414(v) shall not be matched regardless of whether the contribution is treated as a contribution under Code §414(v) at the end of the Plan Year.

(b) As of December 31, 2008, the Company shall cause the Plan Administrator to take action to ensure that each Transferred CitiStreet Employee who becomes an active Participant in the Plan pursuant to Section 3.3 has his or her Matching Contribution determined based on the amount he or she received in Compensation for the period January 1, 2008, through December 31, 2008, and the amount of pre-tax contributions made to either the Citigroup 401(k) Plan or the Plan, irrespective of whether the Compensation was processed through the Citigroup payroll system or the Company’s payroll system. The Matching Contribution, net of any matching contribution made on behalf of the Participant in the Citigroup 401(k) Plan, shall be credited to the Participant’s Matching Account in the Plan as soon as administratively practicable after the amount required to be contributed, if any, has been determined.

Section 4.5 Military Make-Up Contributions. An Employee shall be permitted to make Deferral Contributions and receive Matching Contributions for the period of his or her military service covered by USERRA to the extent required under Code §414(u)(2), but only if he or she retains statutory reemployment rights and resumes employment as provided by XXXXXX.

Section 4.6 Time of Contributions. Contributions made by or on behalf of the Company under this Plan for a Plan Year, other than Deferral Contributions and Catch-Up Contributions, shall be paid to the Trustee at such times as the Company determines in its absolute discretion, but in no event later than the due date (including extensions) of the Company’s Federal income tax return for its taxable year ending with or within such Plan Year. Deferral Contributions and Catch-Up Contributions must be made as soon as administratively possible, but in no case later than the fifteenth (15th) business day of the month following the month in which the payroll withholding occurred.

Section 4.7 No After-Tax Contributions. Contributions to the Plan by Participants on an after-tax basis are not permitted.

-17-

Section 4.8 Additional Cash Contributions. The Company may contribute cash for a “qualified non-elective contribution” or “qualified matching contribution” (as such terms are defined in Treas. Reg. 1.401(k)-1(g)(13)), for purposes of helping satisfy the average deferral percentage requirements of Section 5.2 and Code §401(k). The Committee or Administrative Delegate will determine which Non-Highly Compensated Employees will receive such allocations, and the amounts thereof. Such amounts are fully vested without regard to length of service, and may not be distributed prior to the Participant’s Termination of Service or attainment of age 59½, whichever occurs first. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Qualified Non-Elective Contributions shall not be taken into account for a Plan Year for a Non-Highly Compensated Employee to the extent that such contributions exceed the product of that Non-Highly Compensated Employee’s Compensation and the greater of (a) 5%, or (b) two times the Plan’s Representative Contribution Rate. However, Qualified Non-Elective Contributions that are made in connection with the Company’s obligation to pay prevailing wages under the Xxxxx-Xxxxx Act (46 Stat. 1494), Pub. L. 71-798, Service Contract Act of 1965 (79 Stat. 1965), Pub. L. 89-286, or similar legislation may be taken into account to the extent such contributions do not exceed 10% of that Non-Highly Compensated Employee’s Compensation.

Qualified Non-Elective Contributions taken into account under the average contribution percentage test (including contributions taken into account for purposes of determining the Plan’s Representative Contribution Percentage for that test) may not be taken into account for either the average deferral percentage test or the determination of the Plan’s Representative Contribution Rate for purposes of determining the use of Qualified Non-Elective Contributions under the average deferral percentage test. Similarly, Qualified Non-Elective Contributions taken into account under the average deferral percentage test (including contributions taken into account for purposes of determining the Plan’s Representative Contribution Percentage for that test) may not be taken into account for either the average contribution test or the determination of the Plan’s Representative Contribution Rate for purposes of the average contribution percentage test.

The Plan’s “Representative Contribution Rate” for a Plan Year is the lowest Applicable Contribution Rate of any eligible Non-Highly Compensated Employee among the group of eligible Non-Highly Compensated Employees that consists of half of all eligible Non-Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year or, if greater, the lowest Applicable Contribution Rate of any eligible Non-Highly Compensated Employee in the group of all eligible Non-Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year who are employed by the Company on the last day of the Plan Year.

The “Applicable Contribution Rate” for any eligible Non-Highly Compensated Employee is:

(a) For purposes of the average deferral percentage test, the sum of the Qualified Matching Contributions taken into account for that purpose for the Non-Highly Compensated Employee for the Plan Year and the Qualified Non-Elective Contributions made for the eligible Non-Highly Compensated Employee for the Plan Year, divided by the eligible Non-Highly Compensated Employee’s Compensation for the same period; and

-18-

(b) For purposes of the average contribution percentage test, the sum of the Matching Contributions taken into account for that purpose for the Non-Highly Compensated Employee for the Plan Year and the Qualified Non-Elective Contributions made for the eligible Non-Highly Compensated Employee for the Plan Year, divided by the eligible Non-Highly Compensated Employee’s Compensation for the same period.

Qualified Matching Contributions may be taken into account to satisfy the average deferral percentage test only to the extent that such contributions are matching contributions that are not precluded from being taken into account under the average contribution percentage test as a disproportionate contribution under the rules of Treasury Regulation § 1.401(m)-2(a)(5)(ii).

Qualified Non-Elective Contributions and Qualified Matching Contributions may not be taken into account for more than one purpose under the Plan pursuant to Treasury Regulation § 1.401(k)-2(a)(6)(vi) and § 1.401(m)-2(a)(6)(vi).

Section 4.9 Incentive Contributions.

(a) General. Subject to the rules and limitations set forth in this Plan, the Board in its absolute discretion shall determine the amount, if any, that will be contributed by the Company as the Incentive Contribution for each Plan Year. Such contributions, if any, shall be made as of the last day of such Plan Year.

(b) Allocation. The Incentive Contribution, if any, made under this Section 4.9 for each Plan Year shall be credited as of the last day of such Plan Year to the Incentive Account of each Participant in the same proportion that the Compensation of each such Participant for such Plan Year bears to the total Compensation of all such Participants for such Plan Year.

-19-

ARTICLE V
LIMITS ON ALLOCATIONS AND BENEFITS

Section 5.1 Code §415 Limit. Notwithstanding any provisions of the Plan to the contrary, allocations to Participants under the Plan shall not exceed the maximum amount permitted under Code §415. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the following rules shall apply unless otherwise provided in Code §415:

(a) Except as provided under Section 4.2(c) and Code §414(v), the Annual Additions with respect to a Participant for any Plan Year shall not exceed the least of:

(1) The dollar limit under Code §415(c)(1)(A), indexed for cost of living in accordance with Code §415, or

(2) 100% of the Compensation of such Participant for such Plan Year, or

(3) such lesser amount as the Committee deems necessary or appropriate to satisfy the requirements of Code §415 (including any applicable transition rules) in light of the benefits, if any, accrued and the contributions, if any, made for such Participant under any other employee benefit plan maintained by an Affiliate.

The compensation limit referred to in (1) shall not apply to any contribution for medical benefits after separation from service (within the meaning of Code §401(h) or Code §419A(f)(2)) which is otherwise treated as an Annual Addition.

(b) For purposes of this Section, “Annual Additions” means the sum of the following amounts allocated to a Participant for a Plan Year under this Plan and all other defined contribution plans maintained by an Affiliate:

(1) Employer contributions. For this purpose, “employer contributions” means the sum of (i)  Deferral Contributions, other than (A) Deferral Contributions refunded pursuant to Section 5.3 and (B) Catch-up Contributions; (ii) Incentive Contributions, (iii) Matching Contributions; (iv) Qualified Non-Elective Contributions; (v) Qualified Matching Contributions; and (vi) any other cash contributions.

(2) Forfeitures allocated in lieu of employer contributions.

An Annual Addition with respect to a Participant’s Accounts shall be deemed credited thereto with respect to a Plan Year if it is allocated to the Participant’s Accounts under the terms of the Plan as of any date within such Plan Year.

(c) Corrections. If the Committee determines that the allocation of contributions to a Participant’s Accounts shall exceed the limitations set forth in this Section 5.1 for any Plan Year, the Committee shall correct such excess in the following steps:

-20-

(1) by refunding any unmatched Deferral Contributions and related investment earnings and gains, if any, attributable to such refunded contributions;

(2) by refunding any matched Deferral Contributions (and investment earnings and gains attributable to such contributions) and transferring the related Matching Contributions to a Code §415 suspense account;

(3) by transferring any remaining excess to a Code §415 suspense account.

Amounts transferred to a Code §415 suspense account shall not be allocated to the Participant’s Accounts, but shall be held unallocated in a separate suspense account and shall be treated as either a Matching Contribution or an Incentive Contribution for the next Plan Year (and each succeeding Plan Year, if necessary). The balance credited to the suspense account shall be returned to the Company in the event this Plan is terminated prior to the date the suspense account has been applied in accordance with this Section 5.1(c). Any Deferral Contributions refunded under this Section 5.1(c) shall be disregarded for purposes of the Code §402(g) limitation under Section 5.3 and the Deferral Contribution limitation under Section 5.2.

Section 5.2 Adjustment Required by Code §401(k). If necessary to satisfy the requirements of Code §401(k), Deferral Contributions shall be adjusted as follows:

(a) If the requirements of either paragraph (1) or (2) are satisfied with respect to a Plan Year, then no further action is needed under this Section:

(1) The average deferral percentage of Highly Compensated Employees for the current Plan Year is not more than 1.25 times the average deferral percentage of Non-Highly Compensated Employees for the current Plan Year.

(2) The excess of the average deferral percentage of Highly Compensated Employees for the current Plan Year over the average deferral percentage of Non-Highly Compensated Employees for the current Plan Year is not more than two percentage points, and the average deferral percentage of Highly Compensated Employees for the current Plan Year is not more than 2 times the average deferral percentage of Non-Highly Compensated Employees for the current Plan Year.

(b) Average deferral percentages will be determined as follows:

(1) A Participant’s deferral percentage for a Plan Year is the amount in (A) divided by the amount in (B):

-21-

(A) Deferral Contributions allocated to the Participant (excluding any Excess Deferrals distributed to Non-Highly Compensated Employees under Section 5.3), plus any additional cash contributions allocated as Qualified Non-Elective Contributions or Qualified Matching Contributions under Section 4.8.

(B) The Participant’s Compensation.

(2) The average deferral percentage for Highly Compensated Employees or Non-Highly Compensated Employees for a Plan Year is the average of the individual percentages for all such employees who were eligible to make Deferral Contributions during that Plan Year, regardless of whether the individual made such contributions.

(3) The individual and average deferral percentages shall be calculated to the nearest one-hundredth of one percent.

(4) The deferral percentage for any Highly Compensated Employee will be determined as if all contributions made behalf of such Highly Compensated Employee during the same Plan Year under one, or more than one, other plan described in Code §401(k) maintained by an Affiliate had been made under this Plan.

(5) If this Plan satisfies the coverage requirements of Code §410(b) only if aggregated with one or more other plans, or if one or more other plans satisfy the coverage requirements of Code §410(b) only if aggregated with this Plan, or if the Company chooses to aggregate with this Plan one or more other plans and together such plans satisfy the coverage requirements of Code §410(b), then this Section 5.2(b) will be applied as if all those plans were a single plan provided that each plan that is aggregated with this Plan has the same plan year and utilizes the same testing method as this Plan. Further, an ESOP and non-ESOP may be aggregated for purposes of performing the test described in this Section 5.2(b).

(6) If the Plan applies Code §410(b)(4)(B) (exclusion of employees less than age 21 or without one year of service) for Code §410(b) testing purposes, the Plan will perform the average deferral percentage test of this Section 5.2(b) by disaggregating the Plan into two plans, one for Qualified Employees who are not age 21 by the end of the Plan Year or have not completed one year of service and one for all other Qualified Employees.

(c) If neither of the requirements of subsection (a) is satisfied, then the Deferral Contributions with respect to Highly Compensated Employees shall be reduced as follows:

(1) Determine excess amount with respect to each Highly Compensated Employee. The Committee or Administrative Delegate will determine the maximum individual deferral percentage which could be allowed and still satisfy Sections 5.2(a)(1) or (a)(2). For each Highly Compensated Employee whose actual deferral percentage was higher than the maximum individual percentage, the Committee or Administrative Delegate will determine the amount of excess Deferral Contributions (i.e. the amount by which the individual’s actual Deferral Contribution exceeds what the individual’s Deferral Contribution would have been if he or she had contributed the maximum permitted deferral percentage).

-22-

(2) Add up excess amount for all Highly Compensated Employees. Rather than distributing the amounts determined in (1) to the individuals whose Deferral Contributions exceeded the maximum permitted deferral percentage, these amounts will be added together to determine an aggregate amount of excess deferrals.

(3) Distribute excess deferrals. The Committee or Administrative Delegate will reduce Deferral Contributions of the Highly Compensated Employee whose Deferral Contribution was the highest dollar amount by the amount required to cause his or her Deferral Contributions to equal the amount contributed by the Highly Compensated Employee with the next highest dollar amount. The Committee or Administrative Delegate will continue making such reductions until the aggregate amount of reductions equals the total determined in (2). The Committee will distribute these reduction amounts in cash to the employees whose Accounts were reduced.

(d) At any time during the Plan Year, the Committee may make an estimate of the amount of Deferral Contributions by Highly Compensated Employees that will be permitted under this Section for the year and may limit the Deferral Contributions for such employees to the extent the Committee determines in its sole discretion to be necessary to satisfy at least one of the requirements in subsection (a).

(e) The amount by which Deferral Contributions with respect to a Highly Compensated Employee are reduced pursuant to subsection (c) (adjusted for income or losses allocable thereto) shall be distributed to Participants on whose behalf such excess contributions were made no later than December 31 of the following Plan Year. Furthermore, the Committee shall attempt to distribute such amount by the applicable deadline in the following Plan Year to avoid the imposition on the Company of an excise tax under Code §4979. Income or losses allocable to excess Deferral Contributions shall be the portion of the income or loss for the year for which the contributions were made which is determined by the Committee or Administrative Delegate to fairly reflect the portion of the Plan’s aggregate income or loss for said year properly attributable to the excess contributions using the “alternative method of allocating plan year income” pursuant to Treasury Regulation § 1.401(k)-2(b)(iv)(C). Any income or loss after the close of the year for which the contributions were made shall remain in the Fund and will not be distributed. The amount of excess Deferral and income or losses allocable thereto which would otherwise be distributed pursuant to this subsection shall be reduced, in accordance with regulations, by the amount of Excess Deferrals and income or losses allocable thereto previously distributed to the Participant pursuant to Section 5.3 for the same Plan Year.

-23-

In the case of a Highly Compensated Employee who is an eligible employee in more than one plan of the Company or another Affiliate to which elective deferrals are made, the amount of the excess Deferral Contributions apportioned for a Plan Year with respect to such Highly Compensated Employee shall not exceed the amount of Deferral Contributions actually contributed to the Plan for the Highly Compensated Employee for the Plan Year.

(f) No Matching Contributions will be provided with respect to excess Deferral Contributions. Any Matching Contributions made with respect to Deferral Contributions which are later determined to exceed the limitations under this Section shall be forfeited and applied as provided in Section 8.2(b). The amount forfeited shall be adjusted for income or losses attributable thereto, determined as provided in subsection (e).

(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Participant is eligible to make Catch-Up Contributions under Section 4.3 and Code §414(v), deferrals made on behalf of such Participant that would otherwise be treated as excess Deferral Contributions under this Section 5.2 may be recharacterized as Catch-Up Contributions to the extent permitted under Code §414(v) or distributed under Section 5.2(e) as determined by the Committee.

Section 5.3 Distribution of Excess Deferrals (Code §402(g)). Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan, Excess Deferrals for a calendar year shall be distributed no later than the following April 15 to Participants who claim such Excess Deferrals, subject to the following:

(a) The Participant’s written claim, specifying the amount of his or her Excess Deferral for any calendar year, shall be submitted to the Committee or the Administrative Delegate no later than the March 1 following such calendar year. The claim shall include a written statement that if such amounts are not distributed, such Excess Deferrals, when added to amounts deferred under other plans or arrangements described in Code §401(k), 403(b), or 408(k), exceed the limit imposed by Code §402(g) for the year in which the deferral occurred. In the absence of such a claim, the Committee or the Administrative Delegate may deem that such a claim has been made to the extent that Deferral Contributions under the Plan exceed the Code §402(g) limit.

(b) Excess Deferrals distributed with respect to a calendar year shall be adjusted as provided in Section 5.2(e) to include income or losses allocable thereto.

(c) The amount of Excess Deferrals and income allocable thereto which would otherwise be distributed pursuant to this Section 5.3 shall be reduced, in accordance with regulations, by the amount of Excess Deferrals and income allocable thereto previously distributed to the Eligible Employee pursuant to Section 5.3 for the same year.

-24-

(d) No Matching Contributions will be provided with respect to Excess Deferrals. Any Matching Contributions made with respect to Deferral Contributions which are later determined to be Excess Deferrals shall be forfeited and applied as provided in Section 8.2(b). The amount forfeited shall be adjusted for income or losses attributable thereto, determined as provided in Section 5.2(e).

Section 5.4 Adjustment Required by Code §401(m). After the provisions of Section 5.2 and Section 5.3 have been satisfied, the requirements of this Section must also be met. If necessary to satisfy the requirements of Code §401(m), Matching Contributions shall be adjusted as follows:

(a) If the requirements of either paragraph (1) or (2) are satisfied, then no further action is needed under this Section:

(1) The average contribution percentage of Highly Compensated Employees for the current Plan Year is not more than 1.25 times the average contribution percentage of Non-Highly Compensated Employees for the current Plan Year.

(2) The excess of the average contribution percentage of Highly Compensated Employees for the current Plan Year over the average contribution percentage of Non-Highly Compensated Employees for the current Plan Year is not more than two percentage points, and the average contribution percentage of Highly Compensated Employees for the current Plan Year is not more than 2 times the average contribution percentage of Non-Highly Compensated Employees for the current Plan Year.

(b) Average contribution percentages will be determined as follows:

(1) A Participant’s contribution percentage for a Plan Year is the amount in (A) divided by the amount in (B):

(A) The sum of the following amounts allocated to the Participant:

(i) Matching Contributions, reduced by any amount forfeited under Section 5.2 or Section 5.3.

(ii) Any Qualified Non-Elective Contributions allocated pursuant to Section 4.8.

(B) The Participant’s Compensation.

(2) The average contribution percentage for Highly Compensated Employees or Non-Highly Compensated Employees for a Plan Year is the average of the individual percentages for all such employees who were eligible for Matching Contributions during that Plan Year, regardless of whether the individual actually received Matching Contributions.

-25-

(3) The individual and average contribution percentages shall be calculated to the nearest one-hundredth of one percent.

(4) The contribution percentage for any Highly Compensated Employee will be determined as if all contributions made behalf of such Highly Compensated Employee during the same Plan Year under one, or more than one, other plan described in Code §401(m) maintained by an Affiliate had been made under this Plan.

(5) If this Plan satisfies the coverage requirements of Code §410(b) only if aggregated with one or more other plans, or if one or more other plans satisfy the coverage requirements of Code §410(b) only if aggregated with this Plan, or if the Company chooses to aggregate with this Plan one or more other plans and together such plans satisfy the coverage requirements of Code §410(b), then this Section 5.4(b) will be applied as if all those plans were a single plan provided that each plan that is aggregated with this Plan has the same plan year and utilizes the same testing method as this Plan. Further, an ESOP and non-ESOP may be aggregated for purposes of performing the test described in this Section 5.4(b).

(6) If the Plan applies Code §410(b)(4)(B) (exclusion of employees less than age 21 or without one year of service) for Code §410(b) testing purposes, the Plan will perform the average contribution percentage test of this Section 5.4(b) by disaggregating the Plan into two plans, one for Qualified Employees who are not age 21 by the end of the Plan Year or have not completed one year of service and one for all other Qualified Employees.

(c) At any time during the Plan Year, the Committee or Administrative Delegate may make an estimate of the amount of Matching Contributions on behalf of Highly Compensated Employees that will be permitted under this Section for the year and may reduce the Matching Contributions for Highly Compensated Employees to the extent the Committee or Administrative Delegate determines in its sole discretion to be necessary to satisfy at least one of the requirements in subsection (a).

(d) If neither of the requirements of subsection (a) is satisfied, then Matching Contributions with respect to Highly Compensated Employees shall be reduced as follows:

(1) Determine excess amount with respect to each Highly Compensated Employee. The Committee or Administrative Delegate will determine the maximum individual contribution percentage which could be allowed and still satisfy Section 5.4(a)(1) or (a)(2). For each Highly Compensated Employee whose actual contribution percentage was higher than the maximum individual percentage, the Committee or Administrative Delegate will determine the amount of excess contributions (i.e., the amount by which the individual’s actual Matching Contributions exceeds what they would have been if limited to the maximum permitted contribution percentage).

-26-

(2) Add up excess amount for Highly Compensated Employees. Rather than distribute amounts determined in (1) to the individuals whose Matching Contributions exceeded the maximum permitted contribution percentage, these amounts will be added together to determine an aggregate amount of excess contributions.

(3) Reduce Matching Contributions. The Committee or Administrative Delegate will reduce Matching Contributions of Highly Compensated Employees who received the highest dollar amount by the amount required to cause his or her Matching Contributions to equal the amount received by the Highly Compensated Employee with the next highest dollar amount. The Committee or Administrative Delegate will continue making such reductions until the aggregate amount of reductions equals the total determined in (2).

(e) The reduction required by subsection (d) (adjusted for income or losses as provided in Section 5.2(e)) shall be subtracted from the Participant’s Matching Account and applied as follows:

(1) The vested percentage of the excess amount shall be distributed to the Participant in the same manner described in Section 5.2(e). The vested percentage will be the percent that would have been vested if the Participant’s Termination of Service had occurred on December 31 of the Plan Year for which the excess contributions were made.

(2) The remainder of the excess amount shall be forfeited and applied as provided in Section 8.2(b).

In the case of a Highly Compensated Employee who is an eligible employee in more than one plan of the Company to which matching contributions or employee contributions are made, the amount of the excess contributions apportioned for a Plan Year with respect to such Highly Compensated Employee shall not exceed the amount of Matching Contributions actually contributed to the Plan for the Highly Compensated Employee for the Plan Year.

Income or losses on refunded excess contributions shall be determined using the “alternative method of allocating plan year income” pursuant to Treasury Regulation § 1.401(m)-2(b)(iv)(C).

ARTICLE VI
INDIVIDUAL ACCOUNTS

Section 6.1 Accounts for Participants. The following Accounts may be established under the Plan for a Participant:

(a) A Deferral Account shall be established for each Participant who elects or is deemed to have elected to make Deferral Contributions.

(b) A Catch-Up Account shall be established for each Participant who elects to make Catch-up Contributions.

(c) A Matching Account shall be established to receive Matching Contributions allocations under Section 4.4 or Section 4.8.

(d) A Rollover Account shall be established for each Participant who makes a Rollover Contribution under Section 6.4.

(e) A QNEC/QMAC Account for any allocations made under Section 4.8.

(f) An Incentive Account shall be established for each Participant on whose behalf the Plan holds any Incentive Contributions.

(g) Additional Accounts shall be established as provided in any applicable Appendix.

More than one of any of the above types of Accounts may be established if required by the Plan or if considered advisable by the Committee or Administrative Delegate in the administration of the Plan. Except as expressly provided herein to the contrary, the Trust Fund shall be held and invested on a commingled basis, Accounts shall be for bookkeeping purposes only, and the establishment of Accounts shall not require any segregation of Trust Fund assets.

Section 6.2 Investment of Accounts. Each Participant shall direct the investment of his or her Accounts, subject to the following:

(a) The Committee shall determine the investment options which will be made available under the Plan from time to time, and may add or delete investment options, except for the Company Stock investment option which shall always be an investment option under the Plan, and the Committee shall have no discretion with respect to investments in or disposition of Company Stock.

(1) A Participant’s Accounts may be invested in Company Stock or in other investment options, as directed by the Participant.

(2) The investment options available under the Plan shall be described in such materials as the Committee deems suitable under the circumstances (including materials required to be disclosed under ERISA § 404(c)) and furnished by the Committee, the Administrative Delegate or the Plan’s recordkeeper to Participants from time to time.

-28-

(b) A Participant shall direct the investment of his or her Accounts in accordance with such rules and regulations as the Committee or Administrative Delegate may in its absolute discretion establish and communicate to Participants from time to time. All investment directions by a Participant must be complete as to the terms of the investment transaction. Each proper investment direction shall be in effect until a new investment direction is made by the Participant. No Trustee shall have any obligation whatsoever to invest or manage any assets held in any Account subject to Participant investment direction, its sole duty being to follow within a reasonable period of time all proper directions of the Participant (or, to the extent provided in Section 6.2(d), the Committee) which are made in accordance with the Plan and which are not contrary to ERISA. The Accounts of a Participant for whom no proper investment direction is in effect shall be invested automatically in the investment option designated by the Committee for such Accounts and which is a qualified default investment alternative within the meaning of the regulations under ERISA § 404(c)(5).

(c) To the extent necessary or appropriate for the Committee and other Plan fiduciaries to take advantage of the relief afforded to Plan fiduciaries under ERISA § 404(c) and the related regulations, the Committee shall (1) determine the manner and frequency of investment directions and any limitations on the directions, (2) establish procedures necessary or appropriate to implement Participant directions, including procedures to maintain the confidentiality of any directions (including directions regarding voting, tender, exchange or similar rights) for which confidentiality is required under ERISA § 404(c) and (3) designate a fiduciary (which fiduciary shall be independent if required under ERISA § 404(c)) who is obligated to implement Participant directions and who is obligated to ensure that any Plan procedures to maintain the confidentiality of Participant directions are followed. Any procedures adopted to implement Participant directions, as such procedures may be modified from time to time by the Committee or Administrative Delegate in their discretion, are incorporated into and made a part of this Plan. In addition, the Committee may appoint a third party proxy vendor to the extent the Committee or Administrative Delegate deems appropriate in connection with proxy solicitations under the Plan.

(d) Unless the Committee directs the Trustee on the voting, tendering or exchange of shares of stock or mutual funds including shares of Company Stock or shares of the Company’s proprietary mutual funds (in which case the Trustee shall follow such direction), the Committee shall pass all rights to vote, tender or exchange through to Participants. If the Committee passes the right to vote, tender or exchange through to Participants, the Committee shall send or direct to be sent (or if necessary to satisfy ERISA § 404(c), shall appoint an independent fiduciary to send) to each Participant whose Accounts hold shares entitled to vote on a given issue (or shares subject to a tender or exchange offer) a copy of the proxy solicitation material, together with a form requesting confidential directions to the Trustee on the voting, tendering or exchange of the shares allocated to his or her Accounts. Directions received from Participants by the Trustee shall be held in the strictest confidence and shall be handled in the manner necessary for the Plan fiduciaries to have the protection of ERISA § 404(c). The Trustee shall vote the shares for which direction is given by the Participants in accordance with such direction. To the extent no direction is given with respect to shares, such shares shall not be voted, tendered or exchanged unless the Committee directs the Trustee to vote, tender or exchange such shares in proportion to the shares for which Participant direction is received. The rights extended to Participants by this Section shall also apply to the Beneficiaries of deceased Participants. To extent the Committee passes the right to vote, tender or exchange shares of Company stock through to Participants and designates an independent fiduciary under ERISA § 404(c) to avoid the potential for undue employer influence with respect to such tender or exchange, such independent fiduciary shall act in place of the Trustee under this Section 6.2(d). For these purposes, proxies may be distributed electronically and Participant and Beneficiaries may vote proxies electronically.

-29-

(e) If a tender or exchange offer for shares of Company Stock is limited so that all of the shares that the independent fiduciary has been directed to tender or exchange cannot be sold or exchanged, the shares that each Participant directed be tendered or exchanged shall be deemed to have been sold or exchanged in the same ratio that the number of shares actually sold or exchanged bears to the total number of shares that the independent fiduciary was directed to tender or exchange. Shares sold or exchanged at the direction of a Participant shall be deemed to come first out of the shares allocated to the Participant’s Accounts and only after all of those shares have been sold or exchanged, out of the Unallocated Reserve.

(f) The foregoing provisions allowing Participants to direct investment of their Accounts are intended to satisfy the ESOP diversification requirements of Code §401(a)(28)(B). The Plan is also intended to constitute a plan described in ERISA § 404(c) and the Company intends that the fiduciaries of the Plan be relieved of liability for any losses which are the direct and necessary result of investment directions given by Participants.

Each Participant and each Beneficiary of a deceased Participant may direct the Trustee to divest that the portion of his or her Account invested in Company Stock and to reinvest an amount equivalent to the value of such Company Stock in another Investment Option.

Section 6.3 Valuation of Accounts. As of each Valuation Date, each Account shall be adjusted to reflect the effect of investment gains or losses, income, contributions, distributions, forfeitures, transfers, loans and all other transactions with respect to that Account since the next preceding Valuation Date. All such adjustments shall be made by the Committee or an Administrative Delegate, using procedures that the Committee deems reasonable and appropriate under the circumstances.

Section 6.4 Rollover Contributions. With the consent of the Committee or the Administrative Delegate, which shall be granted if it determines the amount to be transferred constitutes a Rollover Contribution, a Participant may transfer to the Trust Fund an amount that constitutes a Rollover Contribution. A Participant shall provide such evidence as the Committee or its Administrative Delegate requires to establish that the contribution is a Rollover Contribution. A Rollover Account shall be established for each Participant who makes a Rollover Contribution.

-30-

Section 6.5 Rollovers and Transfers to Other Qualified Plans. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary that would otherwise limit a distributee’s election under this Section 6.5, a distributee may elect, at the time and in the manner prescribed by the Committee, to have any portion of an eligible rollover distribution equal to or greater than $200 paid directly to another eligible retirement plan specified by the distributee in a direct rollover. The following definitions shall be used in administering the provisions of this Section 6.5.

(a) Eligible Rollover Distribution: An eligible rollover distribution is any distribution of all or any portion of the balance to the credit of the distributee, except that an eligible rollover distribution does not include: any distribution that is one of a series of substantially equal periodic payments (not less frequently than annually) made for the life (or life expectancy) of the distributee or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the distributee and the distributee’s designated Beneficiary, or for a specified period of ten years or more; any distribution to the extent such distribution is required under Code §401(a)(9); any hardship withdrawals; and the portion of any distribution that is not includible in gross income (determined without regard to the exclusion of net unrealized appreciation with respect to employer securities).

A portion of a distribution shall not fail to be an eligible rollover distribution merely because the portion consists of after-tax employee contributions which are not includible in gross income. However, such portion may be transferred only to an individual retirement account or annuity described in Code §§ 408(a) or (b), or to a qualified defined contribution plan described in Code §§ 401(a) or 403(a) that agrees to separately account for amounts so transferred, including separately accounting for the portion of such distribution which is includible in gross income and the portion of such distribution which is not so includible.

(b) Eligible Retirement Plan: An eligible retirement plan is an individual retirement account described in Code §408(a), an individual retirement annuity described in Code §408(b), an annuity plan described in Code §403(a), or a qualified trust described in Code §401(a), that accepts the distributee’s eligible rollover distribution.

An eligible retirement plan is (1) an individual retirement account described in Code §408(a), (2) an individual retirement annuity described in Code §408(b), (3) an annuity plan described in Code §403(a), or (4) a qualified trust described in Code §401(a), (5) an annuity contract described in Code §403(b) and (6) an eligible plan under Code §457(b) which is maintained by a State, political subdivision of a State, or any agency or instrumentality of a State or political subdivision of a State and which agrees to separately account for amounts transferred into such plan from this Plan. The definition of eligible retirement plan shall also apply in the case of a distribution to a surviving Spouse, or to a Spouse or former Spouse who is the alternate payee under a qualified domestic relation order, as defined in Code §414(p). For a Beneficiary who is not the Participant’s Spouse or former Spouse, an eligible retirement plan means an individual retirement account described in Code § Section 408(a) or an individual retirement annuity described in Code § 408(b), each of which is established for the purpose of receiving such distribution on behalf of such Beneficiary and is treated as an inherited individual retirement account or individual retirement annuity (within the meaning of Code § 408(d)(3)(C)) for purposes of Code § 402(c)(11).

-31-

(c) Distributee: A distributee includes an Employee or former employee, the Employee’s or former employee’s surviving Spouse or former Spouse and any Beneficiary.

(d) Direct Rollover: A direct rollover is a payment by the Trustee for the Plan to the eligible retirement plan specified by the distributee.

Section 6.6. Transferred CitiStreet Employees’ Matching Contributions.

Each Transferred CitiStreet Employee who becomes an active Participant in the Plan pursuant to Section 3.3 and receives a Matching Contribution pursuant to Section 4.4(b) shall have the Matching Contribution invested pursuant to his or her direction effective as of the date such Matching Contribution is actually credited to his or her Matching Account. In no event shall any investment earnings be credited to the Participant’s Matching Account for any period preceding the date on which such Matching Contribution is credited to his or her Account.

-32-

ARTICLE VII
DESIGNATION OF BENEFICIARY

Section 7.1 Persons Eligible to Designate. Any Participant may designate a Beneficiary to receive any amount payable from the Trust Fund as a result of the Participant’s death. The Beneficiary may be one or more persons, natural or otherwise. By way of illustration, but not by way of limitation, the Beneficiary may be an individual, trustee, executor, or administrator. However, a Participant may not make a designation "per stirpes". A Participant may also change or revoke a designation previously made, without the consent of any Beneficiary named therein.

Section 7.2 Special Requirements for Married Participants. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7.1, if a Participant is married at the time of his or her death, his or her Beneficiary shall be his or her Spouse unless the Spouse has consented in writing to the designation of a different Beneficiary, the Spouse’s consent acknowledges the effect of the designation, and the Spouse’s consent is witnessed by a representative of the Plan or a notary public. The previous sentence shall not apply if it is established to the satisfaction of the Committee that such consent cannot be obtained because there is no Spouse, because the Spouse cannot be located or because of such other circumstances as may be prescribed by Federal regulations. Any designation of a Beneficiary or form of benefits which has received spousal consent may be changed (other than by being revoked) without spousal consent only if the consent by the Spouse expressly permits subsequent designations by the Participant without any requirement of further consent by the Spouse. Any such consent shall be valid only with respect to the Spouse who signed the consent.

Section 7.3 Form and Method of Designation. Any designation or revocation of a prior designation of Beneficiary shall be in writing on a form acceptable to the Committee and shall be filed with the Administrative Delegate. The Company, the Committee, the Administrative Delegate and all other parties involved in making payment to a Beneficiary may rely on the latest Beneficiary designation on file with the Administrative Delegate at the time of the Participant’s death or may make payment pursuant to Section 7.4 if an effective designation is not on file, shall be fully protected in doing so, and shall have no liability whatsoever to any person making claim for such payment under a subsequently filed designation of Beneficiary or for any other reason.

Section 7.4 No Effective Designation. If there is not on file with the Administrative Delegate an effective designation of Beneficiary by a deceased Participant on the date of his or her death, his or her Beneficiary shall be the person or persons surviving him or her in the first of the following classes in which there is a survivor, share and share alike:

(a) His or her Spouse.

(b) His or her children, except that if any of his or her children predecease him but leave issue surviving him or her, such issue shall take by right of representation the share their parent would have taken if living.

(c) His or her parents.

-33-

(d) His or her brothers and sisters.

(e) His or her personal representative (executor or administrator).

Determination of the identity of the Beneficiary in each case shall be made by the Committee or Administrative Delegate.

Section 7.5 Beneficiary May Not Designate. No Beneficiary may designate a successor beneficiary. If a Beneficiary who is entitled to receive payments under the Plan dies before all such payments have been made, the balance of any payments remaining due will be payable to a contingent Beneficiary if the Participant’s Beneficiary designation so provides, otherwise to the personal representative (executor or administrator) of the deceased Beneficiary.

Section 7.6 Domestic Partner Treated as Spouse. For purposes of this Article VII, the term “Spouse” shall also mean the Domestic Partner of a Participant; however, a Participant who has a Domestic Partner may designate a Beneficiary other than his or her Domestic Partner without such Domestic Partner's consent.

-34-

ARTICLE VIII
BENEFIT REQUIREMENTS

Section 8.1 Benefit on Retirement or Disability. If a Participant’s Termination of Service occurs (for any reason other than his or her death) after any of the following events, he or she shall be 100% vested in and shall be entitled to a benefit equal to the value of all of his or her Accounts:

(a) The Participant has attained Normal Retirement Age.

(b) The Participant incurs a Disability, and the Participant has exhausted any salary continuance benefit he or she was eligible to receive from the Company by reason of the Disability.

The benefit shall be paid at the times and in the manner determined under Article IX.

Section 8.2 Other Termination of Service . If a Participant’s Termination of Service occurs (for any reason other than his or her death) under circumstances such that he or she is not 100% vested in all Accounts under Section 8.1, he or she shall be entitled to a benefit equal to the total value of his or her Deferral Account, Catch-Up Account, Rollover Account, and QNEC/QMAC Account, and also a benefit equal to the vested percentage of the value of his or her other Accounts as determined under this Section 8.2. Determinations of the vested percentage under this Section 8.2 are subject to the following:

(a) The vested percentage of the Participant’s other Accounts shall be determined as follows:

(1) Each Participant who entered into a Career Agent Agreement on or after January 1, 2002, shall have the following vesting schedule for his or her other Accounts based on his or her Years of Vested Service:

Years of Vesting Service	Vested Percentage
1	25%
2	50%
3	75%
4	100%

(2) For each Participant who entered into a Career Agent Agreement on or prior to January 1, 2002, will vest under the following 3 year vesting schedule, based on his or her Years of Vested Service:

-35-

Years of Vesting Service	Vested Percentage
1	55%
2	75%
3	100%

(b) The portion of a Participant’s Accounts that is not vested shall be transferred to the Participant’s Forfeiture Account after his or her Termination of Service. Thereafter, the disposition of said Forfeiture Account shall be as follows:

(1) Upon the occurrence of whichever of the following events happens first, the Forfeiture Account will be forfeited and applied as provided in (3):

(A) The Participant receives a distribution of the vested portion of his or her Accounts.

(B) The Participant incurs a Five-Year Break.

Notwithstanding the preceding, if a Participant’s vested percentage in his or her Accounts is zero, the Participant shall be deemed to have received a distribution of the vested portion of such Accounts when he or she has a Termination of Service.

(2) If the Participant is reemployed by the Company before incurring a Five-Year Break and before withdrawing the vested portion of his or her Accounts, any amounts held in his or her Forfeiture Account will be transferred back to the Participant’s Accounts.

(3) When a Forfeiture Account is forfeited, as provided in (1), the forfeited amounts shall be applied as follows, as determined by the Committee:

(A) Forfeitures shall be applied first to reinstate forfeited Accounts as provided in Section 8.2(c).

(B) All or any part of the forfeitures remaining after restoring Accounts shall be applied as Matching Contributions to reduce the obligation to make contributions pursuant to Section 4.4.

(4) Forfeiture Accounts will be invested as determined by the Committee.

(c) If a Participant who incurred a forfeiture under subsection (b) resumes employment covered under the Plan before he or she has a Five-Year Break and the requirements of (l), (2), and (3) are met, an amount will be restored to his or her Accounts equal to the amount which was forfeited, determined as of the date of the forfeiture:

(1) The Participant’s vested percentage at the time of his or her previous Termination of Service was greater than zero.

-36-

(2) Not later than the close of the second Plan Year following the Plan Year in which the Participant’s Termination of Service occurred, he or she received the entire vested benefit to which he or she was entitled under the Plan.

(3) No later than five years after the date of his or her reemployment, the Participant repays the Plan the amount he or she received from the Accounts which were partially forfeited.

If the requirements of (1) and (2) are met but the Participant does not make the repayment required in (3), the forfeiture will not be reinstated. If the requirements of (l) or (2) are not met (e.g., the Participant’s vested percentage was zero, or the Participant did not receive his or her entire distribution by the close of the second Plan Year following the Plan Year of his or her Termination of Service), then the forfeited amounts will automatically be reinstated to the Accounts from which the forfeiture occurred only if the Participant repays any amounts received from the Plan. Amounts required to reinstate Accounts pursuant to this subsection will come first from other forfeitures, to the extent adequate, and then from employer contributions.

(d) When calculating the vested percentage of a Participant’s Accounts, if a Participant has a Five-Year Break, then years of Vesting Service after the break shall not increase the vested percentage of the portion of his or her Accounts which accrued prior to the break.

(e) The benefit under this Section shall be paid at the times and in the manner determined under Article IX.

(f) If an amendment to the Plan changes the vesting schedule of the Plan, each Participant having not less than three (3) Years of Vesting Service by the end of the election period with respect to such amendment shall be permitted within such election period to elect to have his or her vested percentage computed under the Plan without regard to such amendment. Each such election shall be made in writing by filing with the Committee within the election period a form available from the Committee for this purpose. The election period shall be a reasonable period determined by the Committee commencing not later than the date the amendment is adopted and shall be in conformance with any applicable regulation prescribed by the Secretary of Labor or the Secretary of the Treasury. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no election need be provided for any Participant whose vested percentage under the Plan, as amended, cannot at any time be less than his or her vested percentage determined without regard to such amendment.

Section 8.3 Death. If a Participant’s Termination of Service is the result of his or her death, his or her Beneficiary shall be entitled to a benefit equal to the value of all of his or her Accounts. Such benefit shall be paid at the times and in the manner determined under Article IX. If a Participant’s death occurs after his or her Termination of Service, a distribution of the balance of his or her Accounts shall be made to his or her Beneficiary in accordance with the provisions of Article IX.

-37-

ARTICLE IX
DISTRIBUTION OF BENEFITS

Section 9.1 Time and Method of Payment. Except as provided in Section 9.2, the benefit to which a Participant or Beneficiary may become entitled under Article VIII shall be distributed at such time and according to such method as he or she elects, subject to the following:

(a) Distributions to which a Participant is entitled may begin at any time after his or her Termination of Service, but must begin not later than his or her required beginning date, subject to the following:

(1) Any distribution (other than an in-service withdrawal under Section 9.12 or a minimum distribution under Section 9.14) to a Participant or Beneficiary under the Plan shall be made in (i) a single sum, or (ii) (subject to Section 9.2) monthly, quarterly or annual installments over a period of either 60 or 120 months, as elected by the Participant or Beneficiary. A Participant or Beneficiary who elects a distribution in the form of installments may elect at a later time to receive any unpaid portion of his or her benefit in a lump sum. No other forms of payment shall be available with respect to a Participant or Beneficiary for any such distribution

(2) Pursuant to Code §401(a)(14), a Participant has the right to receive distributions from the Plan at the later of attainment of age 65 or Termination of Service. If a Participant who has a Termination of Service does not request a distribution on or before age 65, he or she will be deemed to have elected to defer such distribution until the earlier of the date he or she requests a distribution or his or her “required beginning date” as defined below. Such distributions will be made upon receipt of proper instructions from the Participant.

(3) A Participant’s “required beginning date” is April 1 of the Plan Year following the later of (i) the Plan Year in which the Participant attains age 70½, or (ii) the Plan Year in which the Participant’s Termination of Service occurs. However, if the Participant is a 5% owner, as described in Code §416, the required beginning date is April 1 following the Plan Year he or she reaches age 70½, regardless of whether he or she has had a Termination of Service .

(b) For any Participant who does not elect to take a distribution from the Plan and is required to begin receiving a distribution pursuant to Section 9.14, the Plan shall distribute the minimum amount required to be distributed in accordance with Code §401(a)(9).

(c) The Account of a Participant whose status has changed to that of an Employee or a Statutory Employee, but not an Eligible Employee, shall be retained in this Plan until there is a distribution event under this Article IX. A Statutory Employee is not entitled to a distribution while he or she is a Statutory Employee or a common law employee of the Company or an Affiliate.

-38-

Section 9.2 Accounts Totaling $1,000 or Less. If the current value of the Accounts of a Participant (or a Beneficiary following the Participant’s death) is $1,000 or less at the time a distribution is to commence, then, notwithstanding any election in effect for such Participant or Beneficiary, a single-sum distribution shall be made to the Participant (or Beneficiary) as soon as administratively feasible following the Participant’s Termination of Service or death. The Rollover Account of a Participant or Beneficiary shall be included in determining the value of his or her Accounts for purposes of this Section 9.2.

Section 9.3 Cash or Company Stock. Distributions from Accounts shall be made in shares of Company Stock or in cash, as elected by the Participant or Beneficiary.

Section 9.4 Accounting Following Termination of Service . The Participant’s Accounts shall continue to be invested and valued as provided in Article VI until distributed.

Section 9.5 Reemployment. Except as permitted by the Plan provisions regarding in-service withdrawals or minimum distributions, no distribution shall be made to a Participant during any period prior to his or her required beginning date while he or she is reemployed by the Company or Controlled Group Member.

Section 9.6 Source of Benefits. All benefits to which persons become entitled hereunder shall be provided only out of the Trust Fund and only to the extent that the Trust Fund is adequate therefore. No benefits are provided under the Plan except those expressly described herein. Each Participant and Beneficiary assumes all risk connected with any decrease in the market value of any assets held under the Plan. The Company does not in any way guarantee the Trust Fund against any loss or depreciation, or the payment of any amount that may be or become due to any person from the Trust Fund.

Section 9.7 Incompetent Payee. The Committee may in its discretion direct that Plan payments be made (a) directly to an incompetent or disabled person, whether because of minority or mental or physical disability, (b) to the guardian or person having custody of such incompetent or disabled person, or (c) to any other person authorized to receive such payments on behalf of such incompetent or disabled person under any state statute, without further liability either on the part of the Committee, Company or Trustee for the amount of such payment to the person on whose account such payment is made.

Section 9.8 Missing Participant or Beneficiary. If a Participant’s Accounts become payable under this Article IX and the Committee, after making reasonable efforts to do so, is unable to locate the Participant or Beneficiary for such Accounts, such person shall be presumed dead as of the last day of the Plan Year which includes the first anniversary of the date such Accounts first became payable under this Article IX and the Accounts shall be treated as forfeitures. However, if the missing Participant or Beneficiary files a claim for the benefit while this Plan remains in effect and demonstrates his or her identity to the satisfaction of the Committee, then the vested portion of the Participant’s Accounts shall be restored and paid (from forfeitures or from additional Company contributions) to such person.

-39-

Section 9.9 Benefits May Not Be Assigned or Alienated. Except as otherwise expressly permitted by the Plan or required by law, the interest of persons entitled to benefits under the Plan may not in any manner whatsoever be assigned or alienated, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, or directly or indirectly. However, the Plan shall comply with the provisions of any court order which the Committee determines is a qualified domestic relations order as defined in Code §414(p). Notwithstanding any provisions in the Plan to the contrary, an individual who is entitled to payments from the Plan as an “alternate payee” pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order will receive a lump sum payment from the Plan as soon as administratively feasible after the Committee’s determination that the order is a qualified domestic relations order, unless the order specifically provides for payment to be made at a later time. The Committee shall defer distributions from a Participant’s Account subject to a domestic relations order pending determination that the order is qualified. Also, a Participant’s Accounts may be offset as provided by Code §401(a)(13)(C) by amounts the Participant is required to pay the Plan due to commission of a crime, breach of fiduciary duty, or the like.

Section 9.10 Payment of Taxes. The Trustee shall withhold any applicable income or other tax from benefits paid under the Plan.

Section 9.11 Conditions Precedent. No person shall be entitled to a benefit hereunder until his or her right thereto has been finally determined by the Committee, Administrative Delegate or other recordkeeper, nor until he or she has submitted relevant data reasonably requested by the Company or other recordkeeper.

Section 9.12 Withdrawals Before Termination of Service. The following types of withdrawals are available to a Participant prior to Termination of Service. No more than two (2) withdrawals in any category specified in this Section 9.12 or in any Appendix to the Plan may be made in any Plan Year. Each withdrawal before a Termination of Service shall be made in a single sum payment.

(a) A Participant may at any time withdraw all or any part of his or her Rollover Account.

(b) A Participant who has attained age 59½ may withdraw all or any part of his or her vested Account. If a Participant makes such a withdrawal at a time when his or her Vested Percentage is less than 100%, any subsequent withdrawal or distribution occurring before he or she is 100% vested will be adjusted to reflect the effect of the withdrawal.

(c) A Participant who has not attained age 59½ may request a hardship withdrawal from his or her Deferral Account, Catch-up Account or Matching Account. Such withdrawals are subject to the following rules:

(1) The distribution must be made on account of one of the following reasons:

(B) Costs directly related to the purchase (excluding mortgage payments) of the principal residence of the Participant.

(C) Payment of tuition, related educational fees and room and board expenses for up to the next 12 months of post-secondary education for the Participant, or for his or her Spouse, children or dependents as defined in Code §152, without regard to § 152(b)(1), (b)(2), and (d)(1)(B).

(F) Expenses for the repair of damage to the Participant’s principal residence that qualify for the casualty deduction under Code §165 (determined without regard to whether the loss exceeds 10% of adjusted gross income).

(2) All of the following requirements must be satisfied:

(A) The amount of the distribution cannot exceed the amount of the immediate and heavy financial need of the Participant, including any amount required to cover taxes the Participant can reasonably be expected to incur in connection with the distribution. The Company may reasonably rely on the Participant’s representation as to that amount.

(B) The Participant must have obtained all distributions, other than hardship distributions, distribution of ESOP dividends under Code §404(k), and all nontaxable loans currently available under all plans maintained by the Company or any Affiliate.

(C) The Participant’s elective contributions and employee contributions under all qualified and non-qualified plans of deferred compensation maintained by the Company or an Affiliate shall be suspended for a period of six (6) months when any portion of the hardship withdrawal is funded with employee elective deferrals.

(a) The Committee or an Administrative Delegate shall be the named fiduciary responsible for the administration of the loan program under the Plan. The Administrative Delegate shall establish written procedures for loan applications and shall approve the form of the promissory note evidencing a loan under this Plan and the security agreement between the Plan and a Participant or Beneficiary. Any such loan application procedures, promissory notes or security agreements as in effect from time to time hereby are expressly incorporated by reference as part of this Plan. Such loan documents may be maintained electronically.

(b) A loan may be made under this Plan to each Participant or to each Beneficiary who is a “party in interest” (as defined in ERISA § 3(14)) from such Participant’s or Beneficiary’s vested Account if he or she properly completes and delivers to the Administrative Delegate a loan application in accordance with the loan application procedures established by the Committee for this purpose. All such loan requests made in accordance with such procedures shall be granted on a reasonably equivalent basis (within the meaning of Code §4975(d)(1)(A) and ERISA §408(b)(1)(A)) for similarly situated parties in interest subject to the conditions set forth in the loan application procedures. Loans shall not be made to Highly Compensated Employees in an amount greater than the amount made available to other employees. Loans must be adequately secured and bear a reasonable interest rate and the principal amount of a loan shall not exceed the Participant’s Vested Account. In the event of a default, foreclosure on the note and attachment of the security will not occur until a distributable event occurs under Article IX. Loan repayments will be suspended as permitted under Code §414(u)(4) in the event of military service covered by USERRA. A Participant who has defaulted on a loan shall not be eligible for another loan and a Participant shall not be allowed to repay a defaulted loan.

Section 9.14 Minimum Distributions Requirements.

(a) General Rules.

(1) Effective Date. The provisions of this Section 9.14 will apply for purposes of determining required minimum distributions for calendar years beginning with the 2003 calendar year.

(2) Precedence. The requirements of this Section 9.14 will take precedence over any inconsistent provisions of the Plan. However, a Participant may elect to receive a distribution in excess of the amount required under this Section 9.14 to the extent permitted under the distribution provisions of the Plan (other than this Section 9.14).

-42-

(3) Requirements of Treasury Regulations Incorporated. All distributions required under this Section 9.14 will be determined and made in accordance with the Treasury regulations under Code §401(a)(9).

(4) TEFRA Section 242(b)(2) Elections. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 9.14, distributions may be made under a designation made before January 1, 1984, in accordance with Section 242(b)(2) of the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act (TEFRA) and the provisions of the Plan that relate to Section 242(b)(2) of TEFRA.

(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, 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 70½, if later.

(B) If the Participant’s surviving Spouse is not the Participant’s sole Designated Beneficiary, then, distributions to the Designated Beneficiary will begin by December 31 of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which the Participant died.

(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 9.14(b)(2), other than Section 9.14(b)(2)(A), will apply as if the surviving Spouse were the Participant.

For purposes of this Section 9.14(b)(2) and Section 9.14(d), unless Section 9.14(b)(2)(D) applies, distributions are considered to begin on the Participant’s Required Beginning Date. If Section 9.14(b)(2)(D) applies, distributions are considered to begin on the date distributions are required to begin to the surviving Spouse under Section 9.14(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 9.14(b)(2)(A)), the date distributions are considered to begin is the date distributions actually commence.

-43-

(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 Section 9.14(c) and Section 9.14(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 Code §401(a)(9) and the Treasury regulations.

(c) Required Minimum Distributions During Participant’s Lifetime.

(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 § 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 § 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 9.14(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.

-44-

(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.

-45-

(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 9.14(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 9.14(b)(2), this Section 9.14(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 pursuant to Article VII of the Plan and is the Designated Beneficiary under Code §401(a)(9) and § 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 9.14(b)(2). The required minimum distribution for the Participant’s first Distribution Calendar Year will be made on or before the Participant’s Required Beginning Date. The required minimum distribution for other Distribution Calendar Years, including the required minimum distribution for the Distribution Calendar Year in which the Participant’s Required Beginning Date occurs, will be made on or before December 31 of that Distribution Calendar Year.

-46-

(3) Life Expectancy. Life Expectancy as computed by use of the Single Life Table in § 1.401(a)(9)-9 of the Treasury regulations.

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.

ARTICLE XIII
TOP-HEAVY PLAN PROVISIONS

Section 13.1 Key Employee Defined. “Key Employee” means any employee or former employee (including any deceased employee) who at any time during the Plan Year that includes the determination date was an officer of the Company or an Affiliate having annual compensation greater than $130,000 (as adjusted under Code §416(i)(1) for Plan Years beginning after December 31, 2002), a 5-percent owner of the Company or an Affiliate, or a 1-percent owner of the Company or an Affiliate having annual compensation of more than $150,000. For this purpose, annual compensation means compensation within the meaning of Code §414(g)(4). The determination of who is a key employee will be made in accordance with Code §416(i)(1) and the applicable regulations and other guidance of general applicability issued thereunder. Non-Key Employee means each Participant other than a Key Employee.

Section 13.2 Determination of Top-Heavy Status. The top-heavy status of the Plan shall be determined according to the following standards and definitions:

(a) The Plan is a Top-Heavy Plan for a Plan Year if either of the following applies: (1) if this Plan is not part of a required aggregation group and the top-heavy ratio for this Plan exceeds 60%, or (2) if this Plan is part of a required aggregation group of plans and the top-heavy ratio for the group of plans exceeds 60%. However, the Plan is not a Top-Heavy Plan with respect to a Plan Year if it is part of a permissive aggregation group of plans for which the top-heavy ratio does not exceed 60%. Further, a “Top-Heavy Plan” shall not, however, include a plan which consists solely of a cash or deferred arrangement under Code §§401(k)(12) or 401(k)(13) and a matching contribution with respect to which Code §§401(m)(11) or 401(m)(12) is met, but, to the extent permitted under Code §416(g), contributions under such a plan shall be taken into account in determining if other plans in the required aggregation group or permissive aggregation group satisfy the minimum benefit requirements of Code §416(c)(2).

(b) The “top-heavy ratio” shall be determined as follows:

(1) If the ratio is being determined only for this Plan or if the aggregation group includes only defined contribution plans, the top-heavy ratio is a fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of the account balances of all Key Employees under the defined contribution plans as of the determination date (including any part of any account balance distributed in the one-year period ending on the determination date), and the denominator of which is the sum of all account balances (including any part of any account balance distributed in the one-year period ending on the determination date) of all employees under the defined contribution plans as of the determination date. Both the numerator and denominator of the top-heavy ratio shall be adjusted to reflect any contribution which is due but unpaid as of the determination date. The inclusion under this Section of distributions made during the one-year period ending on the determination date shall also apply to distributions under a terminated plan which, had it not been terminated, would have been aggregated with the Plan under Code §416(g)(2)(A)(i). In the case of a distribution made for a reason other than separation from service, death, or disability, this provision shall be applied by substituting “five year period” for “one year period” wherever “one year period” appears in this Section.

-55-

(2) If the ratio is being determined for a required or permissive aggregation group which includes one or more defined benefit plans, the top-heavy ratio is a fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of account balances of all Key Employees under the defined contribution plans and the present value of accrued benefits under the defined benefit plans for all Key Employees as of the determination date (including any part of any account balance or accrued benefit distributed in the one-year period ending on the determination date), and the denominator of which is the sum of the account balances under the defined contribution plans for all employees and the present value of accrued benefits under the defined benefit plans for all employees as of the determination date (including any part of any account balance or accrued benefit distributed in the one-year period ending on the determination date). Both the numerator and denominator of the top-heavy ratio shall be adjusted to reflect any contribution due but unpaid as of the determination date. The inclusion under this Section of distributions made during the one-year period ending on the determination date shall also apply to distributions under a terminated plan which, had it not been terminated, would have been aggregated with the Plan under Code §416(g)(2)(A)(i). In the case of a distribution made for a reason other than separation from service, death, or disability, this provision shall be applied by substituting “five year period” for “one year period” wherever “one year period” appears in this Section.

(3) For purposes of paragraphs (1) and (2), the value of account balances and the present value of accrued benefits will be determined as of the most recent valuation date that falls within the Plan Year ending on the determination date. The account balances and accrued benefits of an employee who is not a Key Employee during the Plan Year ending on the determination date but who was a Key Employee in a prior period will be disregarded. The calculation of the top-heavy ratio and the extent to which distributions, rollovers, and transfers are taken into account will be made in accordance with Code §416 and the regulations thereunder. When aggregating plans, the value of account balances and accrued benefits will be calculated with reference to the determination dates that fall within the same calendar year.

(c) “Required aggregation group” means (i) each qualified plan of the employer in which at least one Key Employee participates, and (ii) any other qualified plan of the Company that enables a plan described in (i) to meet the requirements of Code §§401(a)(4) and 410.

-56-

(d) “Permissive aggregation group” means the required aggregation group of plans plus any other plan or plans of the employer which, when consolidated s a group with the required aggregation group, would continue to satisfy the requirements of Code §§401(a)(4) and 410.

(e) “Determination date” for any Plan Year means the last day of the preceding Plan Year.

(f) The “valuation date” is the last day of each Plan Year and is the date as of which account balances or accrued benefits are valued for purposes of calculating the top-heavy ratio.

(g) For purposes of establishing the “present value” of benefits under a defined benefit plan to compute the top-heavy ratio, any benefit shall be discounted only for mortality and interest based on the interest rate and mortality table specified in the defined benefit plan for this purpose.

(h) If an individual has not been credited with at least one Hour of Service during the one-year period ending on the determination date with respect to a Plan Year, any account balance or accrued benefit for such individual shall not be taken into account for such Plan Year.

Section 13.3 Minimum Contribution Requirement. For any Plan Year with respect to which the Plan is a Top-Heavy Plan, the employer contributions allocated to each Active Participant who is not a Key Employee and whose Termination of Service has not occurred prior to the end of such Plan Year shall not be less than the minimum amount determined in accordance with the following:

(a) The minimum amount shall be the amount equal to that percentage of the Participant’s Testing Wages for the Plan Year which is the smaller of:

(1) 3%.

(2) The percentage which is the largest percentage of Testing Wages allocated to any Key Employee from employer contributions and Forfeitures for such Plan Year.

(b) For purposes of this Section, any employer contribution attributable to a Deferral or similar arrangement shall be taken into account with respect to Key Employees but not with respect to other employees.

(c) This Section shall not apply to any Participant who is covered under any other plan of the employer under which the minimum contribution or minimum benefit requirement applicable to Top-Heavy Plans will be satisfied.

(d) Matching Allocations or, if the Plan provides that the minimum benefit requirement shall be met in another plan, matching contributions under such other plan shall be taken into account for purposes of satisfying the minimum benefit requirements of Code §416(c)(2). Matching Contributions that are used to satisfy the minimum benefit requirements shall be treated as Matching Allocations for purposes of the requirements of Code §401(m).

Section 13.4

-57-

Vesting Schedule. If the Plan is a Top-Heavy Plan, a Participant’s vested accrued benefit under the Plan derived from employer contributions shall be the vested accrued benefit attributable to such contributions determined under Article VIII.

Section 13.5 Definition of Employer. For purposes of this Article, the term “employer” means all Affiliates.

AMENDMENT NUMBER TWO

TO THE

ING 401(k) PLAN FOR ILIAC AGENTS

AMENDED AND RESTATED EFFECTIVE AS OF JANUARY 1, 2008

Pursuant to the power to amend reserved in Section 12.1 of the ING 401(k) Plan for ILIAC Agents, as amended and restated effective as of January 1, 2008, (“Plan”), ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company (“Company”), hereby amends the Plan, as follows, effective as of the dates set forth below:

§ 1 

By amending Section 2.16(b), Military Service, to insert a new paragraph at the end of such Section, effective January 1, 2009, to read as follows:

Effective January 1, 2009, a Participant receiving a differential wage payment (as described in Code § 414(u)(12)) shall be treated as an employee of the Company or Participating Company making the differential wage payment for purposes of this Plan and the differential wage payment shall be treated as Compensation.

The Company shall contribute an additional Matching Contribution for each Participant who made Deferral Contributions during such Plan Year, in the amount, if any, necessary to make the Participant’s total Matching Contributions for such Plan Year equal to 60% of the Participant’s Deferral Contributions for such Plan Year but not in excess of 6% of Compensation for such Plan Year, but excluding any Compensation prior to the month in which the Participant initially commenced Deferral Contributions.

§ 3 

By amending Article IV, AUTOMATIC ENROLLMENT; 401(K) PROVISIONS, to insert a new Section 4.10 at the end of such Article, effective January 1, 2007, to read as follows:

Section 4.10 USERRA Effective January 1, 2007, in the case of a Participant who dies while performing qualified military service (as defined in Code § 414(u)), the Beneficiary of such Participant shall be entitled to any additional benefits (other than benefit accruals relating to the period of qualified military service) that would have been provided under the Plan had the Participant resumed and then terminated employment on account of death.

§ 4 

By amending Section 6.2, in its entirety, effective January 1, 2008, to read as follows:

Section 6.2 Investment of Accounts. Each Participant shall direct the investment of his or her Accounts, subject to the following:(a) The Committee shall determine the investment options which will be made available under the Plan from time to time, and may add or delete investment options, except for the Company Stock investment option which, consistent with the status of a portion of the Plan as an employee stock ownership plan, shall always be an investment option under the Plan, and the Committee shall have no discretion with respect to investments in or disposition of Company Stock.

(1) Any allocations made pursuant to Section 4.12 shall be made in the form of Company Stock, and shall remain invested in Company Stock until such time as the Participant directs a transfer to another investment option. Such accounts may at any time be reinvested in Company Stock if so directed by the Participant. Company Stock for such reinvestment will be acquired on the open market rather than from the Unallocated Reserve.

(2) A Participant’s Accounts may be invested in Company Stock or in other investment options, as directed by the Participant.

(3) The investment options available under the Plan shall be described in such materials as the Committee deems suitable under the circumstances (including materials required to be disclosed under ERISA §404(c)) and furnished by the Committee, the Administrative Delegate or the Plan’s recordkeeper to Participants from time to time.

(b) A Participant shall direct the investment of his or her Accounts in accordance with such rules and regulations as the Committee or Administrative Delegate may in its absolute discretion establish and communicate to Participants from time to time. All investment directions by a Participant must be complete as to the terms of the investment transaction. Each proper investment direction shall be in effect until a new investment direction is made by the Participant. No Trustee shall have any obligation whatsoever to invest or manage any assets held in any Account subject to Participant investment direction, its sole duty being to follow within a reasonable period of time all proper directions of the Participant (or, to the extent provided in Section 6.2(d), the Committee) which are made in accordance with the Plan and which are not contrary to ERISA. The Accounts of a Participant for whom no proper investment direction is in effect shall be invested automatically in the investment option designated by the Committee for such Accounts and which is a qualified default investment alternative within the meaning of the regulations under ERISA §404(c)(5).

(c) To the extent necessary or appropriate for the Committee and other Plan fiduciaries to take advantage of the relief afforded to Plan fiduciaries under ERISA §404(c) and the related regulations, the Committee shall (1) determine the manner and frequency of investment directions and any limitations on the directions, (2) establish procedures necessary or appropriate to implement Participant directions, including procedures to maintain the confidentiality of any directions (including directions regarding voting, tender, exchange or similar rights) for which confidentiality is required under ERISA §404(c), and (3) designate a fiduciary (which fiduciary shall be independent if required under ERISA 404(c)) who is obligated to implement Participant directions and who is obligated to ensure that any Plan procedures to maintain the confidentiality of Participant directions, as such procedures may be modified from time to time by the Committee or administrative Delegate in their discretion, are incorporated into and made a part of this Plan. In addition, the Committee may appoint a third party proxy vendor to the extent the Committee or Administrative Delegate deems appropriate in connection with proxy solicitations under the Plan.

(d) Unless the Committee directs the Trustee on the voting, tendering, exchange or exercise of similar rights with respect to shares of stock or mutual funds including shares of the Company’s proprietary mutual funds (in which case the Trustee shall follow such direction), the Committee shall pass all such rights to vote, tender, exchange or exercise similar rights through to Participants. If the Committee passes the right to vote, tender, exchange or exercise similar rights through to Participants, the Committee shall send or direct to be sent to each Participant whose Accounts hold shares entitled to vote on a given issue (or shares subject to a tender or exchange offer) a copy of the proxy solicitation material, together with a form requesting confidential directions to the Trustee on the voting, tendering, exchange or exercise of similar rights with respect to the shares allocated to his or her Accounts. For these purposes, proxies may be distributed electronically and Participants and Beneficiaries may vote proxies electronically. The Trustee shall vote shares for which direction is given by the Participant in accordance with the Participant’s direction. To the extent no direction is given with respect to voting shares, the Trustee shall vote such shares in proportion to the shares for which Participant direction is received. The Trustee shall tender, exchange or exercise similar rights with respect to shares as instructed by the Participant, but shall not tender, exchange or exercise rights with respect to shares if the Participant directs against their tender, exchange or exercise or gives no instructions. The rights extended to Participants by this section shall also apply to the Beneficiaries of deceased Participants.

(e) Voting, tender, exchange and similar rights with respect to shares of Company Stock shall be passed through to Participants with Accounts holding such shares. To facilitate the exercise of these shareholder rights, the Committee shall send or direct to be sent (or if necessary to satisfy ERISA § 404(c), shall appoint an independent fiduciary to send) to each Participant whose Accounts hold shares entitled to vote on a given issue (or shares subject to a tender or exchange offer) a copy of the proxy solicitation material, together with a form requesting confidential instructions to the Trustee on the voting, tendering or exchange of shares of Company Stock allocated to his or her account. Directions received from Participants by the Trustee shall be held in the strictest confidence and shall be handled in the manner necessary for the Plan fiduciaries to have the protection of ERISA § 404(c). The Trustee shall vote shares of Company Stock for which direction is given by the Participant in accordance with the Participant’s direction. To the extent no direction is given with respect to voting shares of Company Stock, the Trustee shall vote such shares in proportion to the shares for whichz Participant direction is received. The Trustee shall tender or exchange shares or exercise similar rights with respect to shares of Company Stock as instructed by the Participant, but shall not tender or exchange such shares if the Participant directs against their tender or exchange or gives no instructions. The rights extended to Participants by this section shall also apply to the Beneficiaries of deceased Participants. To the extent an independent fiduciary is appointed to avoid the potential for undue employer influence with respect to the exercise of these shareholder rights, as required by ERISA §404(c), such independent fiduciary shall act in place of the Trustee under this Section 6.2(e) for purposes of disseminating information relative to voting, tender, exchange or similar rights, collecting directions from Participants and safeguarding the confidentiality of such information. For these purposes, proxies may be distributed electronically and Participants and Beneficiaries may vote proxies electronically.

(f) If a tender or exchange offer for shares of Company Stock is limited so that all of the shares that the Trustee has been directed to tender or exchange cannot be sold or exchanged, the shares that each Participant directed be tendered or exchanged shall be deemed to have been sold or exchanged in the same ratio that the number of shares actually sold or exchanged bears to the total number of shares that the independent fiduciary was directed to tender or exchange. Shares sold or exchanged at the direction of a Participant shall be deemed to come first out of the shares allocated to the Participant’s Accounts and only after all of those shares have been sold or exchanged, out of the Unallocated Reserve.

§ 5 

By amending Section 6.5, Rollovers and Transfers to Other Qualified Plans, effective January 1, 2008, to read as follows:

Section 6.5 Rollovers and Transfers to Other Qualified Plans. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary that would otherwise limit a distributee’s election under this Section 6.5, a distributee may elect, at the time and in the manner prescribed by the Committee, to have any portion of an eligible rollover distribution equal to or greater than $200 paid directly to another eligible retirement plan or to an individual retirement plan described in Code § 408(A)(b) (a “Xxxx XXX”) specified by the distributee in a direct rollover. The following definitions shall be used in administering the provisions of this Section 6.5.

(a) Eligible Rollover Distribution: An eligible rollover distribution is any distribution of all or any portion of the balance to the credit of the distributee, except that an eligible rollover distribution does not include: any distribution that is one of a series of substantially equal periodic payments (not less frequently than annually) made for the life (or life expectancy) of the distributee or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the distributee and the distributee’s designated Beneficiary, or for a specified period of ten years or more; any distribution to the extent such distribution is required under Code §401(a)(9); any hardship withdrawals; and the portion of any distribution that is not includible in gross income (determined without regard to the exclusion of net unrealized appreciation with respect to employer securities).

A portion of a distribution shall not fail to be an eligible rollover distribution merely because the portion consists of after-tax employee contributions which are not includible in gross income. However, such portion may be transferred only to an individual retirement account or annuity described in Code §§ 408(a) or (b), to a Xxxx XXX or to a qualified defined contribution plan described in Code §§ 401(a) or 403(a) that agrees to separately account for amounts so transferred, including separately accounting for the portion of such distribution which is includible in gross income and the portion of such distribution which is not so includible.

(b) Eligible Retirement Plan: An eligible retirement plan is an individual retirement account described in Code §408(a), an individual retirement annuity described in Code §408(b), an annuity plan described in Code §403(a), or a qualified trust described in Code §401(a), that accepts the distributee’s eligible rollover distribution.

An eligible retirement plan is (1) an individual retirement account described in Code §408(a), (2) an individual retirement annuity described in Code §408(b), (3) an annuity plan described in Code §403(a), or (4) a qualified trust described in Code §401(a), (5) an annuity contract described in Code §403(b) and (6) an eligible plan under Code §457(b) which is maintained by a State, political subdivision of a State, or any agency or instrumentality of a State or political subdivision of a State and which agrees to separately account for amounts transferred into such plan from this Plan. The definition of eligible retirement plan shall also apply in the case of a distribution to a surviving Spouse, or to a Spouse or former Spouse who is the alternate payee under a qualified domestic relation order, as defined in Code §414(p). For a Beneficiary who is not the Participant’s Spouse or former Spouse, an eligible retirement plan means an individual retirement account described in Code § Section 408(a) or an individual retirement annuity described in Code § 408(b), each of which is established for the purpose of receiving such distribution on behalf of such Beneficiary and is treated as an inherited individual retirement account or individual retirement annuity (within the meaning of Code § 408(d)(3)(C)) for purposes of Code § 402(c)(11).

(c) Distributee: A distributee includes an Employee or former employee, the Employee’s or former employee’s surviving Spouse or former Spouse and any Beneficiary.

(d) Direct Rollover: A direct rollover is a payment by the Trustee for the Plan to the eligible retirement plan or Xxxx XXX specified by the distributee.

§ 6 

By amending Article VI, INDIVIDUAL ACCOUNTS, by inserting a new Section 6.6, paragraph 9.14(f) at the end of such Section, effective January 1, 2009, to read as follows:

§ 7 

By amending Section 9.14, Minimum Distributions Requirements, by inserting a new paragraph 9.14(f) at the end of such Section, effective January 1, 2009, to read as follows:

(f) 2009 Minimum Distribution Requirements. Notwithstanding anything contrary in this Plan, a Participant or Beneficiary who would have been required to receive required minimum distributions for 2009 but for the enactment of section Code § 401(a)(9)(H) (“2009 RMDs”), and who would have satisfied that requirement by receiving distributions that are (1) equal to the 2009 RMDs or (2) one or more payments in a series of substantially equal distributions (that include the 2009 RMDs) made at least annually and expected to last for the life (or life expectancy) of the Participant, the joint lives (or joint life expectancy) of the Participant and the Beneficiary, or for a period of at least 10 years (“Extended 2009 RMDs”), will not receive those distributions for 2009 unless the Participant or Beneficiary chooses to receive such distributions. Participants and Beneficiaries described in the preceding sentence will be given the opportunity to elect to receive the distributions described in the preceding sentence. In addition, solely for purposes of applying the direct rollover provisions of Section 6.5, 2009 RMD’s and Extended 2009 RMD’s, will be considered eligible rollover distributions.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Amendment Number Two is hereby executed on behalf of the ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company.
