As of the Delayed Payment Date, the Delayed Payments plus interest at a rate equal to the Interest Factor, for the period of delay, shall be paid to the Executive in a single lump sum. Any portion of the Supplemental Retirement Benefit that was not otherwise due to be paid during the six-month period following the Executive’s Termination of Employment shall be paid to the Executive in accordance with the payment schedule set forth under the applicable distribution provision of this Plan.

4.4

Retirement Benefit. If the Executive is in service with the Employer until reaching his Benefit Age, the Executive shall be entitled to the Supplemental Retirement Benefit. Such benefit shall commence on the Executive’s Benefit Commencement Date and shall be payable in monthly installments throughout the Payout Period. In the event the Executive dies at any time after attaining his Benefit Age, but prior to the commencement or completion of all such payments due and owing hereunder, the Employer shall pay to the Executive’s Beneficiary a lump sum payment equal to the Accrued Benefit at the time of death.

4.5

Death Prior to Benefit Age. If the Executive dies prior to attaining his Benefit Age, but while employed at the Employer, the Executive’s Beneficiary shall be entitled to the Survivor’s Benefit. Payment of the Survivor’s Benefit shall commence within thirty (30) days of the Executive’s death and shall be payable as provided in Section 1.36.

4.6

Involuntary Termination (Other Than for Cause) or Voluntary Termination of Employment. If the Executive’s employment with the Employer is involuntarily terminated prior to the attainment of his Benefit Age, for any reason other than: (i) for Cause; (ii) a Change in Control Termination; (iii) the Executive’s death; (iv) Disability; or (v) if the Executive voluntarily terminates his employment, other than due to Early Retirement, as defined below, then the Executive (or his Beneficiary) shall be entitled to Executive’s Accrued Benefit determined at the time of the Executive’s Termination of Employment. Such benefit shall commence on the first day of the first month following the Early Retirement Benefit Eligibility Date, shall be annuitized (using the Interest Factor) and be payable in monthly installments throughout the Payout Period. For purposes of clarity, such amounts shall not be credited with the Interest Factor prior to Benefit Commencement Date. In the event the Executive dies prior to his Benefit Commencement Date, the Employer shall pay to the Executive’s Beneficiary a Survivor’s Benefit calculated as if the Employer had not obtained insurance on the Executive. In the event the Executive dies prior to completion of all such payments due and owing hereunder, the Employer shall pay to the Executive’s Beneficiary a lump sum payment equal to the Accrued Benefit at the time of death.

4.7

Early Retirement Prior to Benefit Age. If the Executive terminates employment due to Early Retirement prior to attainment of his Benefit Age, Executive shall be entitled to receive the Supplemental Early Retirement Benefit, as described below. The Supplemental Early Retirement Benefit shall be the Executive’s Supplemental Retirement Benefit calculated using the Executive’s Years of Service on the date of the Executive’s Early Retirement. Such benefit shall commence on the Executive’s Benefit Commencement Date and shall be payable in monthly installments throughout the Payout Period. In the event the Executive dies following his Termination of Employment prior to completion of all such payments due and owing hereunder, the Employer shall pay to the Executive’s Beneficiary a lump sum payment equal to the Accrued Benefit at the time of death.

Change in Control Termination. If an Executive experiences a Change in Control Termination, the Executive shall be entitled to receive the Executive’s Supplemental Retirement Benefit calculated using the Executive’s Years of Service as of Executive’s Termination of Employment (without regard to a minimum number of Years of Service or age). Unless otherwise provided in the Joinder Agreement, such benefit shall commence on the Executive’s Benefit Commencement Date and shall be payable in monthly installments throughout the Payout Period. In the event the Executive dies following his Change in Control Termination and prior to commencement or completion of all such payments due and owing hereunder, the Employer shall pay to the Executive’s Beneficiary a lump sum payment equal to the Accrued Benefit at the time of death.

4.9

Termination for Cause. Other than with respect to a Change in Control Termination, if the Executive is terminated for Cause, all benefits under this Plan shall be forfeited and this Plan shall become null and void with respect to the Executive or the Executive’s Beneficiaries. In the event of a Change in Control Termination for Cause, the benefit here under shall be calculated as an Early Retirement occurrence on the Change in Control date.

4.10

Disability Benefit. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if the Executive becomes Disabled and then experiences a Termination of Employment, the Executive shall be entitled to receive his Disability Benefit hereunder. The Disability Benefit shall be the Executive’s Accrued Benefit on the date of the Executive’s Termination of Employment due to Disability. Such benefit shall be annuitized (using the Interest Factor) and be payable as of the Executive’s Benefit Commencement Date and shall be payable commencing on the first day of the first month following the Benefit Eligibility Date and shall be paid in the form of monthly installments throughout the Payout Period. For purposes of clarity, such Accrued Benefit amount shall be credited with the Interest Factor prior to Benefit Eligibility Date. In the event the Executive dies at any time after Termination of Employment due to disability but prior to his Benefit Commencement Date, the Employer shall pay to the Executive’s Beneficiary a lump sum payment equal to the Accrued Benefit at the time of death.

4.11

Additional Death Benefit — Burial Expense. Unless provided under any other plan or agreement, in addition to the above-described death benefits, upon the Executive’s death, the Executive’s Beneficiary shall be entitled to receive a one-time lump sum death benefit in the amount of Ten Thousand ($10,000.00) Dollars. This benefit shall be provided specifically for the purpose of providing payment for burial and/or funeral expenses of the Executive. Such death benefit shall be payable within thirty (30) days of the Executive’s death. The Executive’s Beneficiary shall not be entitled to such benefit if the Executive is terminated for Cause prior to death.

4.12

Transition Rule. In a manner that is consistent with Section 409A, the Administrator may solicit new Joinder Agreements from the Executives in order for the Executives to change the method or timing of such distributions of all amounts subject to Section 409A under the Plan, provided such elections are solicited and properly made prior to December 31, 2008. In the event that the Administrator elects to solicit new Joinder Agreements pursuant to this Section, the failure by the Executive to submit a complete and timely Joinder Agreement will result in the application of the most recently submitted Joinder Agreement.

SECTION V
BENEFICIARY DESIGNATION

The Executive shall make an initial designation of primary and secondary Beneficiaries upon execution of his Joinder Agreement and shall have the right to change such designation, at any subsequent time, by submitting to the Administrator in substantially the form attached as Exhibit A to the Joinder Agreement, a written designation of primary and secondary Beneficiaries. Any Beneficiary designation made subsequent to execution of the Joinder Agreement shall become effective only when receipt thereof is acknowledged in writing by the Administrator. The most recent Beneficiary designation acknowledged in writing by the Administrator shall apply at the time of the Executive’s death.

The Executive, the Beneficiary, or any other person claiming through the Executive, shall only have the right to receive from the Employer those payments so specified under this Plan. Neither the Executive nor any Beneficiary under this Plan shall have any power or right to transfer, assign, anticipate, hypothecate, mortgage, commute, modify or otherwise encumber in advance any of the benefits payable hereunder, nor shall any of said benefits be subject to seizure for the payment of any debts, judgments, alimony or separate maintenance owed by the Executive or his Beneficiary, nor be transferable by operation of law in the event of bankruptcy, insolvency or otherwise.

Therefore, but not later than 30 days after the review procedure began, the Claimant (or the Claimant’s duly authorized representative):

	(A)		may review pertinent documents;

	(B)		may submit written comments or other documents; and/or

	(C)		may request a hearing, which the Administrator, in its sole discretion, may grant.

8.5

Decision on Review. The Administrator shall render its decision on review promptly, and not later than 60 days (45 days for a claim based on Disability) after the filing of a written request for review of the denial, unless a hearing is held or other special circumstances require additional time, in which case the Administrator’s decision must be rendered within 120 days after such date; provided, that this period shall be up to one 45-day extension for claims based on Disability. Such decision must be written in a manner calculated to be understood by the Claimant, and it must contain:

	(A)		specific reasons for the decision;

	(B)		specific reference(s) to the pertinent Plan provisions upon which the decision was based; and

	(C)		such other matters as the Administrator deems relevant.

8.6

Legal Action. A Claimant’s compliance with the foregoing provisions of this Article 7 is a mandatory prerequisite to a Claimant’s right to commence any legal action with respect to any claim for benefits under this Plan.

8.7

Arbitration. If Claimant continues to dispute the benefit denial based upon completed performance of this Plan and the Joinder Agreement or the meaning and effect of the terms and conditions thereof, it shall be settled by arbitration administered by the AAA under its Commercial Arbitration Rules, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

SECTION IX
MISCELLANEOUS

9.1

Status of Plan. The Plan is intended to be a plan that is: (a) not qualified within the meaning of Code Section 401(a); (b) “unfunded and is maintained by the Company or Employer primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation for a select group of management and highly compensated employees” within the meaning of ERISA Sections 201(2), 301(a)(3) and 401(a)(l); and (c) compliant in all respects with Section 409A. The Plan shall be administered and interpreted to the extent possible in a manner consistent with that intent.

9.2

No Effect on Employment Rights. Nothing contained herein will confer upon the Executive the right to be retained in the service of the Employer nor limit the right of the Employer to discharge or otherwise deal with the Executive without regard to the existence of the Plan.

9.3

State Law. The Plan is established under, and will be construed according to, the laws of the State of Iowa, to the extent such laws are not preempted by the Act and valid regulations published thereunder.

9.4

Severability and Interpretation of Provisions. In the event that any of the provisions of this Plan or portion hereof, are held to be inoperative or invalid by any court of competent jurisdiction, or in the event that any legislation adopted by any governmental body having jurisdiction over the Employer would be retroactively applied to invalidate this Plan or any provision hereof or cause the benefits hereunder to be taxable, then: (1) insofar as is reasonable, effect will be given to the intent manifested in the provisions held invalid or inoperative, and (2) the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions will not be affected thereby. In the event that the intent of any provision shall need to be construed in a manner to avoid taxability, such construction shall be made by the plan administrator in a manner that would manifest to the maximum extent possible the original meaning of such provisions.

9.5

Payment of Legal Fees. The Employer is aware that after a Change in Control, management of the Employer or the Company or their successors could cause or attempt to cause the Employer to refuse to comply with their obligations under this Plan, including the possible pursuit of litigation to avoid their obligations under this Plan. In these circumstances, the purpose of this Plan would be frustrated. It is the Employer’s intentions that the Executive not be required to incur the expenses associated with the enforcement of his rights under this Plan, whether by litigation or other legal action, because the cost and expense thereof would substantially detract from the benefits intended to be granted to the Executive hereunder. It is the Employer’s intentions that the Executive not be forced to negotiate settlement of his rights under this Plan under threat of incurring expenses. Accordingly, if after a Change in Control occurs it appears to the Executive that (a) the Employer has failed to comply with any of their obligations under this Plan, or (b) the Employer or any other person has taken any action to avoid its obligations under this Plan, the Employer irrevocably authorizes the Executive from time to time to retain counsel of his choice, at the expense of the Employer as provided in this Section 9.5, to represent the Executive in connection with the initiation or defense of any litigation or other legal action, whether by or against the Employer or any director, officer, stockholder, or other person affiliated with the Employer, in any jurisdiction. Notwithstanding any existing or previous attorney-client relationship between the Employer and any counsel chosen by the Executive under this Section 9.5, the Employer irrevocably consents to the Executive entering into an attorney-client relationship with that counsel, and the Employer and the Executive agree that a confidential relationship shall exist between the Executive and that counsel. The fees and expenses of counsel selected from time to time by the Executive as provided in this Section 9.5 shall be paid or reimbursed to the Executive by Employer on a regular, periodic basis upon presentation by the Executive of a statement or statements prepared by such counsel in accordance with such counsel’s customary practices. The Employer’s obligation to reimburse Executive for legal fees as provided under this Section 9.5 and any separate employment, severance or other agreement between the Executive and the Employer shall not exceed $200,000 in the aggregate. Accordingly, the Employer’s obligations to pay the Executive’s legal fees provided by this Section 9.5 shall be offset by any legal fee reimbursement obligation the Employer may have with the Executive under any separate employment, severance or other agreement between the Executive and the Employer.

9.6

Facility of Payment. If a benefit is payable to a minor, to a person declared incompetent, or to a person incapable of handling the disposition of his or her property, the Employer may pay such benefit to the guardian, legal representative or person having the care or custody of such minor, incompetent person or incapable person. The Employer may require proof of incompetence, minority or guardianship as it may deem appropriate prior to distribution of the benefit. Such distribution shall completely discharge the Employer from all liability with respect to such benefit.

9.7

Unclaimed Benefit. The Executive shall keep the Employer informed of his current address and the current address of his Beneficiaries. If the location of the Executive is not made known to the Employer within three years after the date upon which any payment of any benefits may first be made, the Employer shall delay payment of the Executive’s benefit payment(s) until the location of the Executive is made known to the Employer; however, the Employer shall only be obligated to hold such benefit payment(s) for the Executive until the expiration of three (3) years. Upon expiration of the three (3) year period, the Employer may discharge its obligation by payment to the Executive’s Beneficiary. If the location of the Executive’s Beneficiary is not made known to the Employer by the end of an additional two (2) month period following expiration of the three (3) year period, the Employer may discharge its obligation by payment to the Executive’s Estate. If there is no Estate in existence at such time or if such fact cannot be determined by the Employer, the Executive and his Beneficiary(ies) shall thereupon forfeit any rights to the balance, if any, of any benefits provided for such Executive and/or Beneficiary under this Plan.

9.8

Limitations on Liability. Notwithstanding any of the preceding provisions of the Plan, no individual acting as an employee or agent of the Employer, or as a member of the Board of Directors of the Employer or the Company shall be personally liable to the Executive or any other person for any claim, loss, liability or expense incurred in connection with the Plan.

9.9

Terms. Capitalized terms shall have meanings as defined herein. Singular nouns shall be read as plural, masculine pronouns shall be read as feminine, and vice versa, as appropriate.

9.10

Effect on Other Corporate Benefit Agreements. Nothing contained in this Plan shall affect the right of the Executive to participate in or be covered by any qualified or non-qualified pension, profit sharing, group, bonus or other supplemental compensation or fringe benefit agreement constituting a part of the Employer’s or the Company’s existing or future compensation structure.

9.11

Suicide. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Plan, the benefits otherwise provided herein shall not be payable and this Plan shall become null and void if the Executive’s death results from suicide, whether sane or insane, within twenty-six (26) months after the Original Effective Date of his Joinder Agreement under this Plan.

9.12

Inurement. This Plan shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Employer, its successors and assigns, and the Executive, his successors, heirs, executors, administrators, and Beneficiaries, and the Company shall require any acquirer in a Change in Control to expressly assume this Plan.

9.13

Tax Withholding. The Employer shall withhold from any benefits payable under this Plan all federal, state, city, employment and other taxes as shall be required pursuant to any law or governmental regulation then in effect in amounts and in a manner determined in the sole discretion of the Employer.

9.14

Expenses. All expenses incurred in the administration of the Plan, whether incurred by the Employer or the Plan, shall be paid by the Employer or the Company.

9.15

Distribution in the Event of Income Inclusion under Section 409A. If any portion of the Executive’s Supplemental Retirement Benefit or Supplemental Early Retirement Benefit under this Plan is required to be included in income by the Executive prior to receipt due to a failure of the Plan to meet the requirements of Section 409A, the Executive may petition the Administrator for a distribution of that portion of his Supplemental Retirement Benefit or Supplemental Early Retirement Benefit that is required to be included in his name. Upon the ▇▇▇▇▇ of such a petition, which grant shall not be unreasonably withheld, the Employer shall distribute to the Executive immediately available funds in an amount equal to the portion of Executive’s Supplemental Retirement Benefit or Supplemental Early Retirement Benefit required to be included in income as a result of the failure of the Plan to meet the requirements of Section 409A, which amount shall not exceed the Executive’s unpaid Supplemental Retirement Benefit or Supplemental Early Retirement Benefit under the Plan. If the petition is granted, such distribution shall be made within ninety (90) days of the date when the Executive’s petition is granted. Such a distribution shall affect and reduce the Executive’s benefits to be paid under this Plan.

9.16

Deduction Limitation on Benefit Payments. If the Employer determines in good faith prior to a Change in Control that there is a reasonable likelihood that any compensation paid to an Executive for a taxable year of the Employer would not be deductible by the Employer solely by reason of the limitation under Code Section 162(m), then to the extent deemed necessary by the Employer to ensure that the entire amount of any distribution to the Executive pursuant to the Plan prior to the Change in Control is deductible, the Employer may defer all or any portion of a distribution under the Plan. Any amounts deferred pursuant to this limitation shall continue to be credited with interest at a rate equal to the Interest Factor. The amounts so deferred and amounts credited thereon shall be distributed, in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A, to the Executive or his Beneficiary (in the event of the Executive’s death) in a single lump sum at the earliest possible date, as determined by the Employer in good faith, on which the deductibility of compensation paid or payable to the Executive for the taxable year of the Employer during which the distribution is made and will not be limited by Code Section 162(m).

9.17

Insolvency. Should the Employer be considered insolvent, the Company, through its Board and chief executive officer, shall give immediate written notice of such to the Administrator of the Plan, if the Company is not the Administrator. Upon receipt of such notice, the Administrator shall cease to make any payments to Executives who were Executives or their beneficiaries and shall hold any and all assets attributable to the Employer for the benefit of the general creditors of the Employer.

9.18

Interpretation. The provisions of this Plan shall be interpreted consistently with Section 409A, and to the extent inconsistent with such authority, shall be deemed to be modified to the extent necessary to make such provisions consistent with such authority. In addition, all questions of interpretation, construction or application arising under or concerning the terms of this Plan shall be decided by the Administrator, in its sole discretion, whose decision shall be final, binding and conclusive upon all persons.

9.19

Headings. Headings and sub-headings in this Plan are inserted for reference and convenience only and shall not be deemed a part of this Plan.

SECTION X
AMENDMENT/REVOCATION

10.1

The Company may, at any time, amend or modify the Plan in whole or in part by the action of its Board; provided, however, that: (i) no amendment or modification shall be effective to decrease or restrict the value of an Executive’s Supplemental Retirement Benefit in existence at the time the amendment or modification is made, calculated as if the Executive had experienced a Termination of Employment as of the effective date of the amendment or modification, (ii) no amendment or modification of this Section 10.1 of the Plan shall be effective, and (iii) no amendment or modification shall be made unless such amendment or modification complies with Section 409A. The amendment or modification of the Plan shall not affect any Executive or Beneficiary who has become entitled to the payment of benefits under the Plan as of the date of the amendment or modification.

10.2

Notwithstanding any provisions of the Plan to the contrary, in the event that the Company or Employer determines that any provision of the Plan may violate or otherwise not comply with Section 409A, the Company or Employer may, without consent of any Executive or Beneficiary: (i) adopt such amendments to the Plan and appropriate policies and procedures, including amendments and policies with retroactive effect, that the Company or Employer determines necessary or appropriate to preserve the intended treatment of the Plan or the benefits provided by the Plan and/or (ii) take such other actions as the Company or Employer determines necessary or appropriate to comply with the requirements of Section 409A.

SECTION XI
TERMINATION

Although the Employer anticipates that it will continue the Plan for an indefinite period of time, there is no guarantee that the Employer will continue the Plan or will not terminate or freeze the Plan at any time in the future. Accordingly, to the maximum extent permissible under Section 409A, the Employer reserves the right to discontinue its sponsorship of the Plan and/or to terminate the Plan at any time with respect to any or all of the Executives, by action of its Board. Upon the termination of the Plan, the affected Executives’ Supplemental Retirement Benefit shall be distributed in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A; which, at the discretion of the Board may be in a single lump sum. The termination of the Plan shall not adversely affect any Executive or Beneficiary who has become entitled to the payment of any benefits under the Plan as of the date of termination of the Plan.

SECTION XII
EXECUTION

This Plan sets forth the entire understanding of the parties hereto with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, and any previous agreements or understandings between the parties hereto regarding the subject matter hereof are merged into and superseded by this Plan.
