If permitted by Section 9.01 of the Adoption Agreement, a Participant may, in accordance with rules and procedures established by the Administrator, select the investments from among the options provided in Section 7.1 to be used for the purpose of calculating future hypothetical investment adjustments to the Participant’s Account or to future credits to the Account under Section 6.2 effective as the Valuation Date coincident with or next following notice to the Administrator. The Account of each Participant shall be adjusted as of each Valuation Date to reflect: (a) the hypothetical earnings, expenses, gains and losses described above; (b) amounts credited pursuant to Section 6.2; and (c) payments. In addition, the Account of each Participant may be adjusted for its allocable share of the hypothetical costs and expenses associated with the maintenance of the hypothetical investments provided in Section 7.1.

Article 7-1

ARTICLE 8 – RIGHT TO BENEFITS

8.1		Vesting. A Participant, at all times, has a 100% nonforfeitable interest in the amounts credited to his Account attributable to his elective deferrals made in accordance with Section 4.1.

		A Participant’s right to the amounts credited to his Account attributable to Employer contributions made in accordance with Article 5 shall be determined in accordance with the relevant schedule specified in Section 7.01 of the Adoption Agreement.

8.2		Death. The balance or remaining balance credited to a Participant’s vested Account shall be paid to his estate in a single lump sum payment as soon as practicable following the Participant’s date of death.

8.3		Disability. The balance or remaining balance credited to a Participant’s vested Account shall be paid to the Participant in a single lump sum cash payment as soon as practicable following the date a Participant incurs a Disability as defined in Section 2.11, unless additional forms of payment have been made available for this purpose in Section 6.01b of the Adoption Agreement. If additional forms have been made available, payment shall be made at the time and in the form elected by the Participant in accordance with the provisions of articles 4 and 6. The Administrator, in its sole discretion, shall determine whether a Participant has experienced a disability for purposes of this Section 8.3.

Article 8-1

ARTICLE 9 – DISTRIBUTION OF BENEFITS

9.1		Amount of Benefits. The vested amount credited to a Participant’s Account as determined under Articles 6, 7 and 8 shall determine and constitute the basis for the value of benefits payable to the Participant under the Plan.

9.2		Method and Timing of Distributions. Except as otherwise provided in this Article 9, distributions under the Plan shall be made at the time and in the manner specified by the Participant in accordance with the provisions of Article 4. If permitted by Section 6.01g of the Adoption Agreement, a Participant may elect, at least twelve months before a scheduled date of distribution, to delay the payment date for a minimum period of sixty months from the originally scheduled date of payment and such election may not take effect until at least 12 months after the date on which the election is made. The re-deferral election must be made in accordance with procedures and rules established by the Administrator. The Participant may, at the same time the date of payment is deferred, change the form of payment but such change in the form of payment may not affect an acceleration of payment.

9.3		Unforeseeable Emergency. If permitted by Section 8.01 of the Adoption Agreement, a Participant may request a distribution due to an Unforeseeable Emergency. The request must be in writing and must be submitted to the Administrator along with evidence that the circumstances constitute an Unforeseeable Emergency. The Administrator has the discretion to require whatever evidence it deems necessary to determine whether a distribution is warranted. Whether a Participant has incurred an Unforeseeable Emergency will be determined by the Administrator on the basis of the relevant facts and circumstances in its sole discretion, but, in no event, will an Unforeseeable Emergency be deemed to exist if the hardship can be relieved: (a) through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise, (b) by liquidation of the Participant’s assets to the extent such liquidation would not itself cause severe financial hardship, or (c) by cessation of deferrals under the Plan. A distribution due to an Unforeseeable Emergency must be limited to the amount reasonably necessary to satisfy the emergency need and may include any amounts necessary to pay any federal, state or local income taxes reasonably anticipated to result from the distribution. The distribution will be made in the form of a single lump sum cash payment.

Article 9-1

9.4		Termination Before Retirement. If the Employer has elected a Separation from Service override in accordance with Section 6.01d of the Adoption Agreement, the following provisions apply. Subject to the provisions in Section 9.6, a Participant who experiences a Separation from Service before Retirement for any reason other than death shall receive the vested amount credited to his Account in a single lump sum payment as soon as practicable following such termination or cessation of service regardless of whether the Participant had made different elections of time or form of payment as to the vested amounts credited to his Account or whether the Participant was receiving installment payouts at the time of such termination.

9.5		Cashouts Of Amounts Not Exceeding Stated Limit. If the vested amount credited to the Participant’s Account does not exceed the limit established for this purpose by the Employer in Section 6.01e of the Adoption Agreement at the time he separates from service with the Employer for any reason, the Employer shall distribute such amount to the Participant in a single lump sum cash payment as soon as practicable following such termination regardless of whether the Participant had made different elections of time or form of payment as to the vested amount credited to his Account or whether the Participant was receiving installments at the time of such termination.

9.6		Key Employees. In no event shall a distribution made to a Key Employee from his Account by reason of his Separation from Service (other than as a result of such Key Employee’s death or Disability) occur before the date which is six months after the date of such Separation from Service with the Employer except in the case of (i) any distribution that occurs in connection with a Change in Control pursuant to Section 10.3 of this Plan or (ii) a distribution on a “specified date”, as elected by a Key Employee in accordance with Section 409A of the Code if specified in Section 6.01b of the Adoption Agreement.

9.7		Change in Control. If the Employer has elected to permit distributions upon a Change in Control, the following provisions shall apply. A distribution made upon a Change in Control will be made in the form elected by the Participant in accordance with the procedures described in Article 4. A Change in Control will occur upon a change in the ownership of the Employer, a change in the effective control of the Employer or a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Employer. The Employer, for this purpose, includes any corporation identified in this Section 9.7.

		If a Participant continues to make deferrals in accordance with Article 4 after he has received a distribution due to a Change in Control, the residual amount payable to the Participant shall be paid at the time and in

Article 9-2

		the form specified in the elections he makes in accordance with Article 4 or upon his Death or Disability as provided in Article 8.

		Whether a Change in Control has occurred will be determined by the Administrator in accordance with the rules and definitions set forth in this Section 9.7. A distribution to the Participant will be treated as occurring upon a Change in Control if the Plan Sponsor terminates the Plan and distributes the Participant’s benefits within twelve months of a Change in Control as provided in Section 10.3.

	a)		Relevant Corporations. To constitute a Change in Control for purposes of the Plan, the event must relate to (i) the corporation for whom the Participant is performing services at the time of the Change in Control, (ii) the corporation that is liable for the payment of the Participant’s benefits under the Plan (or all corporations liable if more than one corporation is liable), or (iii) a corporation that is a majority shareholder of a corporation identified in (i) or (ii), or any corporation in a chain of corporations in which each corporation is a majority corporation of another corporation in the chain, ending in a corporation identified in (i) or (ii). A majority shareholder is defined as a shareholder owning more than fifty percent (50%) of the total fair market value and voting power of such corporation.

	b)		Stock Ownership. Code Section 318(a) applies for purposes of determining stock ownership. Stock underlying a vested option is considered owned by the individual who owns the vested option (and the stock underlying an unvested option is not considered owned by the individual who holds the unvested option). If, however, a vested option is exercisable for stock that is not substantially vested (as defined by Treasury Regulation Section 1.83-3(b) and (j)) the stock underlying the option is not treated as owned by the individual who holds the option. Mutual and cooperative corporations are treated as having stock for purposes of this Section 9.7.

	c)		Change in the Ownership of a Corporation. A change in the ownership of a corporation occurs on the date that any one person or more than one person acting as a group, acquires ownership of stock of the corporation that, together with stock held by such person or group, constitutes more than fifty percent (50%) of the total fair market value or total voting power of the stock of such corporation. If any one person or more than one person acting as a proxy is considered to own more than fifty percent (50%) of the total fair market value or total voting power of the stock of a corporation, the acquisition of additional stock by the same person or persons is not considered to cause a change in the ownership of the corporation (or to cause a change in the effective control of the corporation as

Article 9-3

			discussed below in Section 9.7(d)). An increase in the percentage of stock owned by any one person, or persons acting as a group, as a result of a transaction in which the corporation acquires its stock in exchange for property will be treated as an acquisition of stock. Section 9.7(c) applies only when there is a transfer of stock of a corporation (or issuance of stock of a corporation) and stock in such corporation remains outstanding after the transaction. For purposes of this Section 9.7(c), persons will not be considered to be acting as a group solely because they purchase or own stock of the same corporation at the same time or as a result of a public offering. Persons will, however, be considered to be acting as a group if they are owners of a corporation that enters into a merger, consolidation, purchase or acquisition of stock, or similar business transaction with the corporation. If a person, including an entity, owns stock in both corporations that enter into a merger, consolidation, purchase or acquisition of stock, or similar transaction, such shareholder is considered to be acting as a group with other shareholders in a corporation prior to the transaction giving rise to the change and not with respect to the ownership interest in the other corporation.

	d)		Change in the effective control of a corporation. A change in the effective control of a corporation occurs on the date that either (i) any one person, or more than one person acting as a group, acquires (or has acquired during the twelve month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such person or persons) ownership of stock of the corporation possessing thirty-five (35%) or more of the total voting power of the stock of such corporation, or (ii) a majority of members of the corporation’s board of directors is replaced during any twelve month period by directors whose appointment or election is not endorsed by a majority of the members of the corporation’s board of directors prior to the date of the appointment or election, provided that for purposes of this paragraph (ii), the term corporation refers solely to the relevant corporation identified in Section 9.7(a) for which no other corporation is a majority shareholder for purposes of Section 9.7(a). In the absence of an event described in Section 9.7(d)(i) or (ii), a change in the effective control of a corporation will not have occurred. A change in effective control may also occur in any transaction in which either of the two corporations involved in the transaction has a change in the ownership of such corporation as described in Section 9.7(c) or a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of such corporation as described in Section 9.7(e). If any one person, or more than one person acting as a group, is considered to effectively control a corporation within the meaning of this Section 9.7(d), the acquisition of additional control of the corporation by the same person or persons is not considered to cause a change in the effective control of the corporation or to cause

Article 9-4

			a change in the ownership of the corporation within the meaning of Section 9.7(c). For purposes of this Section 9.7(d), persons will or will not be considered to be acting as a group in accordance with rules similar to those set forth in Section 9.7(c) with the following exception. If a person, including an entity, owns stock in both corporations that enter into a merger, consolidation, purchase or acquisition of stock, or similar transaction, such shareholder is considered to be acting as a group with other shareholders in a corporation only with respect to the ownership in that corporation prior to the transaction giving rise to the change and not with respect to the ownership interest in the other corporation.

	e)		Change in the ownership of a substantial portion of a corporation’s assets. A change in the ownership of a substantial portion of a corporation’s assets occurs on the date that any one person, or more than one person acting as a group (as determined in accordance with rules similar to those set forth in Section 9.7(d)), acquires (or has acquired during the twelve month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such person or persons) assets from the corporation that have a total gross fair market value equal to or more than forty percent (40%) of the total gross fair market value of all of the assets of the corporation immediately prior to such acquisition or acquisitions. For this purpose, gross fair market value means the value of the assets of the corporation of the value of the assets being disposed of determined without regard to any liabilities associated with such assets. There is no Change in Control event under this Section 9.7(e) when there is a transfer to an entity that is controlled by the shareholders of the transferring corporation immediately after the transfer. A transfer of assets by a corporation is not treated as a change in ownership of such assets if the assets are transferred to (i) a shareholder of the corporation (immediately before the asset transfer) in exchange for or with respect to its stock, (ii) an entity, fifty percent (50%) or more of the total value or voting power of which is owned, directly or indirectly, by the corporation, (iii) a person, or more than one person acting as a group, that owns, directly or indirectly, fifty percent (50%) or more of the total value or voting power of all the outstanding stock of the corporation, or (iv) an entity, at least fifty (50%) of the total value or voting power of which is owned, directly or indirectly, by a person described in Section 9.7(e)(iii). For purposes of the foregoing, and except as otherwise provided, a person’s status is determined immediately after the transfer of assets.

Article 9-5

ARTICLE 10 – AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION

10.1		Amendment by Employer. The Plan Sponsor reserves the right to amend the Plan (for itself and each Employer) through action of the Compensation and Human Resource Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”). Each amendment shall be effective as determined by the Compensation Committee in its resolution. No amendment can directly or indirectly deprive any current or former Participant or Beneficiary of all or any portion of his Account which had accrued prior to the amendment.

10.2		Retroactive Amendments. An amendment made by the Plan Sponsor in accordance with Section 10.1 may be made effective on a date prior to the first day of the Plan Year in which it is adopted if such amendment is necessary or appropriate to enable the Plan to satisfy the applicable requirements of the Code or ERISA or to conform the Plan to any change in federal law or to any regulations or ruling thereunder. Any retroactive amendment by the Plan Sponsor shall be subject to the provisions of Section 10.1.

10.3		Plan Termination. If specified in 11.01 of the Adoption Agreement, the Plan Sponsor reserves the right to terminate the Plan and distribute all amounts credited to all Participant Accounts as soon as administratively feasible, but in no event later than twelve months, following a Change in Control as determined in accordance with the rules set forth in Section 9.7. In addition, the Plan Sponsor reserves the right to terminate the Plan to the extent permitted by Code Section 409A, including a termination at any time with respect to any deferrals made after the effective date of such termination.

10.4		Distribution Upon Termination of the Plan. Except as provided in Section 10.3, the Plan may not be terminated before the date on which all amounts credited to all Participant Accounts have been distributed in accordance with Articles 8 and 9.

Article 10-1

ARTICLE 11 – THE TRUST

11.1		Establishment of Trust. The Plan Sponsor may but is not required to establish a trust to hold amounts to which the Employers may contribute from time to time to correspond to some or all amounts credited to Participants under Section 6.2. If the Plan Sponsor elects to establish a trust in accordance with Section 10.01 of the Adoption Agreement, the provisions of Sections 11.2 and 11.3 shall become operative.

11.2		Grantor Trust. Any trust established by the Plan Sponsor shall be between the Plan Sponsor and a trustee pursuant to a separate written agreement under which assets are held, administered and managed, subject to the claims of the Employer’s creditors in the event of the Employer’s insolvency, until paid to the Participant and/or his Beneficiaries specified in the Plan. The trust is intended to be treated as a grantor trust under the Code, and the establishment of the trust shall not cause the Participant to realize current income on amounts contributed thereto. The Plan Sponsor must notify the trustee in the event of a lawsuit, bankruptcy or insolvency.

11.3		Investment of Trust Funds. Any amounts contributed to the trust shall be invested by the trustee in accordance with the provisions of the trust and the instructions of the Administrator. Trust investments need not reflect the hypothetical investments selected by Participants under Section 7.1 for the purpose of adjusting Accounts and the earnings or investment results of the trust shall not affect the hypothetical investment adjustments to Participant Accounts under the Plan.

Article 11-1

ARTICLE 12 – PLAN ADMINISTRATION

12.1

Powers and Responsibilities of the Administrator. The Administrator has the full power and the full responsibility to administer the Plan in all of its details, subject, however, to the applicable requirements of ERISA. The Administrator’s powers and responsibilities include, but are not limited to, the following:

	(a)		To make and enforce such rules and regulations as it deems necessary or proper for the efficient administration of the Plan;

Article 12-1

12.2

Claims and Review Procedures.

	(a)		Claims Procedure. If any person believes he is being denied any rights or benefits under the Plan, such person may file a claim in writing with the Administrator. If any such claim is wholly or partially denied, the Administrator will notify such person of its decision in writing. Such notification will contain (i) specific reasons for the denial, (ii) specific reference to pertinent Plan provisions, (iii) a description of any additional material or information necessary for such person to perfect such claim and an explanation of why such material or information is necessary, and (iv) information as to the steps to be taken if the person wishes to submit a request for review. Such notification will be given within 90 days after the claim is received by the Administrator (or within 180 days, if special circumstances require an extension of time for processing the claim, and if written notice of such extension and circumstances is given to such person within the initial 90-day period). If such notification is not given within such period, the claim will be considered denied as of the last day of such period and such person may request a review of his claim.

	(b)		Review Procedure. Within 60 days after the date on which a person receives a written notification of denial of claim (or, if written notification is not provided, within 60 days of the date denial is considered to have occurred), such person (or his duly authorized representative) may (i) file a written request with the Administrator for a review of his denied claim and of pertinent documents and (ii) submit written issues and comments to the Administrator. The Administrator will notify such person of its decision in writing. Such notification will be written in a manner calculated to be understood by such person and will contain specific reasons for the decision as well as specific references to pertinent Plan provisions. The decision on review will be made within 60 days after the request for review is received by the Administrator (or within 120 days, if special circumstances require an extension of time for processing the request, such as an election by the Administrator to hold a hearing, and if written notice of such extension and circumstances is given to such person within the initial 60-day period). If the decision on review is not made within such period, the claim will be considered denied.

Article 12-2

12.3

Plan Administrative Costs. All reasonable costs and expenses (including legal, accounting, and employee communication fees) incurred by the Administrator in administering the Plan shall be paid by the Employer.

Article 12-3

ARTICLE 13 – MISCELLANEOUS

13.1		Unsecured General Creditor of the Employer. Participants and their Beneficiaries, heirs, successors and assigns shall have no legal or equitable rights, interests or claims in any property or assets of any Employer. For purposes of the payment of benefits under the Plan, any and all of the Employer’s assets shall be, and shall remain, the general, unpledged, unrestricted assets of the Employer. Each Employer’s obligation under the Plan shall be merely that of an unfunded and unsecured promise to pay money in the future.

13.2		Employer’s Liability. Each Employer’s liability for the payment of benefits under the Plan shall be defined only by the Plan and by the deferral agreements entered into between a Participant and the Employer. An Employer shall have no obligation or liability to a Participant under the Plan except as provided by the Plan and a deferral agreement or agreements. An Employer shall have no liability to Participants employed by other Employers.

13.3		Limitation of Rights. Neither the establishment of the Plan, nor any amendment thereof, nor the creation of any fund or account, nor the payment of any benefits, will be construed as giving to the Participant or any other person any legal or equitable right against the Employer or Administrator, except as provided herein; and in no event will the terms of employment or service of the Participant be modified or in any way affected hereby.

13.4		Acceleration of Benefits. None of the benefits or rights of a Participant or any Beneficiary of a Participant shall be subject to the claim of any creditor. In particular, to the fullest extent permitted by law, all such benefits and rights shall be free from attachment, garnishment, or any other legal or equitable process available to any creditor of the Participant and his or her Beneficiary. Neither the Participant nor his or her Beneficiary shall have the right to alienate, anticipate, commute, pledge, encumber, or assign any of the payments which he or she may expect to receive, contingently or otherwise, under this Plan, except the right to designate a Beneficiary to receive death benefits provided hereunder. A distribution made to comply with Federal conflict of interest requirements shall be permitted, notwithstanding any elections made by the Participant to the contrary.

13.5		Facility of Payment. If the Administrator determines, on the basis of medical reports or other evidence satisfactory to the Administrator, that the recipient of any benefit payments under the Plan is incapable of handling his affairs by reason of minority, illness, infirmity or other incapacity, the Administrator may direct the Employer to disburse such payments to a person or institution designated by a court which has jurisdiction over such recipient or a person or institution otherwise having the legal authority under State law for the care and control of such recipient. The receipt by such person or institution of any such payments therefore, and any such payment to the extent thereof, shall discharge

- 4 -

		the liability of the Employer for the payment of benefits hereunder to such recipient.

13.6		Notices. Any notice or other communication in connection with the Plan shall be deemed delivered in writing if addressed as provided below and if either actually delivered at said address or, in the case or a letter, 5 business days shall have elapsed after the same shall have been deposited in the United States mails, first-class postage prepaid and registered or certified:

	(a)		If it is sent to the Employer or Administrator, it will be at the address specified by the Employer; or

	(b)		In each case at such address as the addressee shall have specified by written notice delivered in accordance with the foregoing to the addressor’s then effective notice address.

13.7		Tax Withholding. The Employer shall have the right to deduct from all payments or deferrals made under the Plan any tax required by law to be withheld. If the Employer concludes that tax is owing with respect to any deferral or payment hereunder, the Employer shall withhold such amounts from any payments due the Participant, as permitted by law, or otherwise make appropriate arrangements with the Participant or his Beneficiary for satisfaction of such obligation. Tax, for purposes of this Section 13.7 means any federal, state, local or any other governmental income tax, employment or payroll tax, excise tax, or any other tax or assessment owing with respect to amounts deferred, any earnings thereon, and any payments made to Participants under the Plan.

13.8		Indemnification. Each Employer shall indemnify, to the full extent permitted by law, each employee, officer or director made or threatened to be made a party to any civil or criminal action or proceeding by reason of the fact that he, or his testator or intestate, is or was delegated duties, responsibilities, and authority with respect to the Plan.

13.9		Governing Law. The Plan shall be construed, administered and governed in all respects under and by the laws of the State of New York, without reference to the principles of conflicts of law (except if and to the extent preempted by applicable Federal law). It is the intent of the Plan Sponsor that this Plan be considered and interpreted in all respects as part of a bonus plan within the meaning of U. S. Department of Labor Regulation Section 2510.3-2(c) and not in any respect as an employee pension plan for purposes of ERISA. If and to the extent that any portion of this Plan shall be determined to be an employee pension benefit plan subject to ERISA, then such portion shall be considered a separate plan covering only those Participants as to whom this Plan is determined to be a pension plan. Such pension plan shall in all respects be considered and interpreted as a plan which is unfunded and maintained primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation for a select group of management or highly compensated employees and exempt from coverage of Parts 1, 2, 3 and 4 of Subtitle B of Title I of ERISA to the maximum extent permissible under the provisions thereof. Further, it is the intent of the Plan Sponsor that this Plan be considered and interpreted in all respects as a nonqualified deferred compensation plan

Article 12-5

satisfying the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and deferring the recognition of income by Participants in respect of amounts credited to Participant Accounts until amounts are actually paid to them pursuant to the Plan.
