effective date of the Plan, as restated and amended, is January 1, 2003, except
as otherwise provided in the Plan. For the purpose of Code subparagraph
401(a)(27)(B), the Plan is designated a profit sharing plan. The purposes of the
Plan are to assist Eligible Employees in the accumulation of funds for
retirement, to encourage Eligible Employees to save, and to enhance the interest
of Eligible Employees in the efficient and successful operation of the Employer.
The Plan is designed to meet the requirements of Code subsections 401(a),
401(k), 401(m) and 501(a) and the requirements of ERISA.
Section 1.02. Trust Agreement. Effective as of the date of its execution,
the Company entered into a Trust Agreement with Integra Bank, N.A. as Trustee,
providing for a trust to support and implement the operation of the Plan. The
Trust Agreement, as restated or amended from time to time, is part of this Plan.
ARTICLE II

phrases, when capitalized, have the following meanings, except when used in a
context that plainly requires a different meaning:

Assets.

Aggregation Group.

account, as defined in Code paragraph 415(1)(2), that is part of a pension
annuity plan maintained by the Employer; and amounts derived from contributions
that are attributable to post-retirement medical benefits, allocated to the
separate account of a Key Employee, under a welfare benefit fund, as defined in
Code subsection 4 19(e), maintained by the Employer.
"Annuity Starting Date" means the first day of the first period for which

7.07 to receive benefits under the Plan after a Participant's death.

Employee a written statement under Code sections 604 1(d), 6051 (a)(3) and 6052.
"Compensation" is determined without regard to any rules under Code subsection

deferred by the Employer for the Plan Year at the election of the Employee that
are excluded from the Employee's gross income under Code section 125 or 457, and
qualified parking fringe benefits described in Code subsection 132(f).
Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this paragraph, "Compensation" does
not include, whether or not includable in the Employee's gross income,
reimbursements or expense allowances, fringe benefits (cash or noncash), moving
expenses, deferred compensation or welfare benefits. Notwithstanding the
preceding provisions of this paragraph, compensation received by an Employee
before he becomes a Participant will not be considered "Compensation."

employment relationship exists between an Employee and the Employer, determined
as follows:

credited only if the Employee returns to the Employer's service on or
before the first anniversary of the date the Employee was first absent
from service.
-2-
(3) Any period of time beginning on the date the Employee first
performs an Hour of Service after a Period of Severance and ending on the
date the Employee again incurs a Severance from Service.
(4) For purposes of aggregating periods of Continuous Service, 12
months of completed service shall equal one year of Continuous Service,
and 30 days of completed service shall equal one month of Continuous
Service.
(5) For purposes of this Subsection, with respect to a Related
Employer that adopts the Plan after July 1, 1997, any period of time with
the Related Employer before it becomes a Related Employer is considered a
period of time with the Employer.

Participants for a Plan Year, the average of the Contribution Ratios for the
Participants in that group, calculated to the nearest one-hundredth of one

paragraph l.401(m)-1(b)(2) of the federal income tax regulations paid to the

(1) Matching Contributions that are used to meet the requirements of
Code subparagraph 401 (k)(3)(A) shall be disregarded;
(2) A Matching Contribution shall be taken into account for a Plan
Year only if it is made on account of the Employee's Elective Deferrals
for the Plan Year, allocated to the Employee's Matching Account as of a
date within the Plan Year, and paid to the Trust not later than 12 months
after the Plan Year for which it is made.
(3) All Matching Contributions made under the Plan and any other
plan aggregated with it for purposes of Code paragraph 401 (a)(4) and Code
subsection 410(b) (other than Code clause 41 0(b)(2)(A)(ii)) are treated
as made under the Plan. If the Plan and any other plan are permissively
aggregated for purposes of Code subsection 401(m), the aggregated plans
must separately satisfy Code paragraph 401 (a)(4) and Code subsection 4
10(b) as though they were a single plan.
(4) In determining the Contribution Ratio for a Highly Compensated
Participant, all Retirement Plans to which matching contributions are made
and in which the Highly Compensated Participant is eligible to participate

Compensation for the Plan Year. In determining Deferral Ratios, the following
rules will apply:

Code paragraph 401(m)(2) will be disregarded.
(2) An Elective Deferral will be taken into account for a Plan Year
only if it relates to Compensation that would have been received by the
Participant in the Plan Year, but for the election to defer it, is
allocated to the Participant's Elective Deferral Account as of a date
within the Plan Year and is paid to the Trust not later than 12 months
after the Plan Year for which it is made.

and any other plan aggregated with it for purposes of Code paragraph
401(a)(4) and Code subsection 410(b) (other than clause 41 0(b)(2)(A)(ii))
are treated as made under the Plan. If the Plan and any other plan are
permissively aggregated for purposes of Code subsection 401(k), the
aggregated plans must separately satisfy Code paragraph 401 (a)(4) and
Code subsection 4 10(b) as though they were a single plan.
(4) In determining the Deferral Ratio for a Highly Compensated
Participant, all cash or deferred arrangements in Retirement Plans in
which the Highly Compensated Participant is eligible to participate (other
than arrangements that may not be permissively aggregated with the
arrangement under this Plan) will be considered, together with the

Employee who performs services for the Employer during the Plan Year and
who (A) is a 5% owner for that Plan Year or was a 5% owner for the prior
Plan Year or (B) for the prior Plan Year received Regulatory Compensation
in excess of $80,000 (as adjusted pursuant to Code subsection 415(d)).
(2) A highly compensated former Employee for a Plan Year includes
any Employee who terminated employment (or was deemed to have terminated
employment) prior to the Plan Year, performs no service for the Employer

described in this Paragraph will be credited to an Employee for the
computation period in which the duties are performed.
-6-
(2) An Employee is entitled to credit for each hour for which he is
paid, or entitled to payment, by the Employer for a period during which no
duties are performed (irrespective of whether the employment relationship
has terminated) due to vacation, holiday, illness, incapacity (including
disability), layoff, jury duty, military duty, or leave of absence;
provided, however, that no Hours of Service will be credited under this
Paragraph if payment is made or due solely to reimburse an Employee for
medical or medically related expenses or solely for the purpose of
complying with applicable workers' compensation, unemployment
compensation, or disability insurance laws. No more than 501 Hours of
Service will be credited to an Employee on account of any single
continuous period during which the Employee performs no duties (whether or
not this period occurs in a single Plan Year) unless the Hours of Service
are credited pursuant to Paragraph (4). Subject to the provisions of
Paragraph (5), an Hour of Service credited to an Employee pursuant to this
Paragraph will be credited to the computation period or periods during
which no duties are performed.
(3) An Employee is entitled to credit for each hour for which back
pay, irrespective of mitigation of damages, is either awarded or agreed to
by the Employer. The same Hour of Service will not be credited under
Paragraph (1) or Paragraph (2), as the case may be, and under this
Paragraph. An Hour of Service described in this Paragraph will be credited
to the computation period or periods to which the award or agreement for
back pay pertains, rather than to the computation period in which the
award, agreement, or payment is made.
(4) For eligibility and vesting purposes only, "Hours of Service"
will be credited to an Employee for military leave for training or
service, or both, if that Employee is entitled to be credited for his

resolving any other uncertainty as to the meaning or intention of any provision
of this Plan, the interpretation that will prevail is the interpretation that

deductible by the Employer from net income for federal income tax purposes, (2)
causes the Plan to contain a qualified cash or deferred arrangement described in
Code subsection 40 1(k), and (3) causes the Plan to comply with all applicable
requirements of ERISA.

to be illegal or invalid for any other reason, that provision will be deemed to
be null and void, but the invalidation of that provision will not otherwise
impair or affect the Plan.
ARTICLE III
ELIGIBILITY AND PARTICIPATION
Section 3.01. Date of Participation. An Employee will begin participation
in the Plan immediately upon becoming an Eligible Employee.
Section 3.02. Completion of Forms by Participants and Beneficiaries and
Alternate Payees. Each Participant, Beneficiary and Alternate Payee will
complete any forms and furnish any proofs or information required by the Plan
Administrator.
-11-
Section 3.03. Cessation of Participation. A Participant will cease to be a
Participant on the date as of which (a) he is no longer an Eligible Employee and
(b) all of his vested Accounts have been distributed.
Section 3.04. Omission of Eligible Employee. If, in any Plan Year, any
Eligible Employee who should be included as a Participant in the Plan is
erroneously omitted, and discovery of the omission is not made until after a
contribution by the Employer for the Plan Year has been made, the Employer will
make a contribution with respect to the omitted Eligible Employee in the amount
that the Employer would have contributed on his behalf had he not been omitted.
The contribution will be made whether or not it is deductible in whole or in
part in any taxable year. For this purpose, the amount of Elective Deferrals
that the Employer would have contributed on behalf of an Eligible Employee for a
Plan Year had he not been omitted will be equal to the Deferral Percentage for
the group of Highly Compensated Participants or Nonhighly Compensated
Participants to which the Participant belongs for the Plan Year.
Section 3.05. Inclusion of Ineligible Employee. If, in any Plan Year, any
Employee who should not have been included as a Participant in the Plan is
erroneously included, and discovery of the inclusion is not made until after a
contribution by the Employer for the Plan Year has been made, the Employer will
not be entitled to recover the contribution made with respect to the ineligible
Employee whether or not a deduction is allowable with respect to the
contribution. The amount contributed with respect to the ineligible Employee
will be treated as though it were an excess Annual Addition and either returned
to the ineligible Employee or reallocated among the Accounts of Participants
entitled to a contribution for the Plan Year in which the erroneous error is
discovered, in the manner described at Section 11.03.
ARTICLE IV
CONTRIBUTIONS
Section 4.01. Trust Fund. All contributions under the Plan will be paid or
transferred to the Trustee to be held, managed, invested, and distributed in
accordance with the provisions of the Plan and Trust Agreement. All benefits
under the Plan will be distributed solely from the Trust Assets, and the
Employer will have no liability for those benefits.
Section 4.02. Elective Deferrals. An active Participant may elect to have
Elective Deferrals made to the Plan as follows:
(a) Pursuant to Section 15.08 of the Plan, a Participant may elect to have
Elective Deferrals made on his behalf by entering into a written salary
redirection agreement with the Employer that authorizes payroll deductions;
provided, however, that any election will be subject to reduction by the Plan
Administrator in accordance with Section 4.03.
(b) A Participant's election to make or change the rate of Elective
Deferrals will become effective as soon as administratively feasible after the
date on which a completed salary redirection agreement is received by the Plan
Administrator. A Participant may discontinue his Elective Deferrals any time by
giving written notice to the Plan Administrator. No election to make,
discontinue, or change the rate of Elective Deferrals will be given retroactive
effect.
-12-
(c) A Participant who discontinues his Elective Deferrals during a Plan
Year may not enter into a new salary redirection agreement with the Employer
that will become effective before the first day of the next Plan Year. A
Participant who receives a hardship distribution as described in Treasury
regulation section 1.401(k)-i (d)(2)(iv)(B) from any other Retirement Plan may
not have Elective Deferrals made to the Plan for twelve months following receipt
of the hardship distribution.
(d) A former Eligible Employee who again becomes an Eligible Employee and
who is or becomes a Participant upon reemployment may elect to have Elective
Deferrals made on his behalf by signing and delivering to the Plan Administrator
a salary redirection agreement, in which case the election will be given effect
as soon as administratively feasible.
(e) Elective Deferrals will be paid in cash to the Trustee by the Employer
within a reasonable period after they are withheld from a Participant's pay and
in no event later than the 15~ business day of the month following the month in
which they were withheld.
(f) Elective Deferrals made on behalf of a Participant with respect to a
Plan Year will be allocated to the Participant's Elective Deferral Account as of
the earlier of the date on which they are contributed to the Trust or the last
day of the Plan Year.
(g) The Plan Administrator may establish additional nondiscriminatory
rules and procedures governing the manner and timing of a Participant's
elections to make, change, or discontinue Elective Deferrals, provided that the
rules and procedures are consistent with the Plan.
Section 4.03. Limitation on Elective Deferrals. Except as otherwise
provided in Article XVI of the Plan, the amount of Elective Deferrals made on
behalf of Participants will be subject to the following limitations:
(a) Elective Deferrals made on behalf of Highly Compensated Participants
for a Plan Year will not result in a Deferral Percentage for Highly Compensated
Participants that exceeds both:
(1) 1.25 times the Deferral Percentage for Non-Highly Compensated
Participants for the prior Plan Year; and
(2) the lesser of (A) two times the Deferral Percentage for
Non-Highly Compensated Participants for the prior Plan Year or (B) two
percentage points more than the Deferral Percentage for Non-Highly
Compensated Participants for the prior Plan Year.
In determining the Deferral Percentage for a group for a Plan Year, all
"eligible employees" will be taken into account. For this purpose, an "eligible
employee" for a Plan Year is any Employee who is directly or indirectly eligible
to make an Elective Deferral for all or a portion of the Plan Year and includes
an Employee who would be eligible to make an Elective Deferral but for his
failure to make an election pursuant to Section 4.02 or his hardship withdrawal
under another Retirement Plan, or because the Elective Deferral would cause the
limitation of Article XI to be exceeded.
-13-
(b) At such times as it deems advisable, the Plan Administrator will
evaluate the Plan's operation to assure that Elective Deferrals elected by
Highly Compensated Participants do not cause the limitations of Subsection (a)
to be exceeded. The Employer, in its sole discretion, may make a Qualified
Nonelective Contribution to the Elective Deferral Accounts of active
Participants who are Non-Highly Compensated Participants, allocated among those
Accounts in proportion to those Participants' relative Compensation for the Plan
Year that is paid on or after the date they become Participants, to assist the
Plan in satisfying the limitations of Subsection (a). Any Qualified Nonelective
Contribution made shall satisfy the conditions set forth in 26 C.F.R. Section
1.40 1(k)-1(b)(5). To the extent that Highly Compensated Participants' Elective
Deferrals would, if carried out, cause the limitations of Subsection (a) to be
exceeded, the following provisions will apply:
(1) The Deferral Ratio of the Highly Compensated Participant with
the highest Deferral Ratio will be reduced to the higher of (A) the
Deferral Ratio necessary to enable the Plan to satisfy the limitations of
Subsection (a) or (B) the Deferral Ratio of the Highly Compensated
Participant with the next highest Deferral Ratio. The foregoing process
will be repeated until the limitations of Subsection (a) are satisfied.
The portion of any Elective Deferral that has been contributed to the Plan
and is attributable to a reduction in a Participant's Deferral Ratio
pursuant to this Paragraph will be regarded as an excess Elective
Deferral.
(2) The total dollar amount of excess Elective Deferrals will be
allocated to one or more Highly Compensated Participants by reducing the
Elective Deferrals of the Highly Compensated Participant with the highest
dollar amount of Elective Deferrals by the lesser of (A) the amount
required to cause that Participant's Elective Deferrals to equal the
Elective Deferrals of the Highly Compensated Participant with the next
highest dollar amount or (B) an amount equal to the total amount of excess
Elective Deferrals. This process will be repeated until all excess
Elective Deferrals are allocated.
(3) The Trustee will distribute any excess Elective Deferrals,
together with all income allocable thereto, to the Highly Compensated
Participants to whom they were allocated pursuant to Paragraph (2) within
one year after the end of the Plan Year for which they were made.
(c) If Elective Employer Contributions with respect to a Participant for a
calendar year exceed the limitation of Code paragraph 402(g)(l) (as adjusted
from time to time pursuant to Code paragraph 402(g)(5)), the Participant will
notify the Plan Administrator not later than March 1 of the following year of
the portion of the excess Elective Employer Contributions allocable to the Plan.
If the Plan Administrator receives notice from a Participant pursuant to the
preceding sentence, the Plan Administrator will cause the Trustee to distribute
to the Participant not later than the following April 15 the portion of the
excess Elective Employer Contributions allocable to the Plan and any income
allocable to that portion.
Section 4.04. Matching Contributions. The Employer shall make Matching
Contributions to the Plan as follows:
-14-
(a) Except as otherwise specifically provided in Subsection (b), for each
Plan Year, the Employer shall contribute to the Plan on behalf of each
Participant a Matching Contribution equal to 100% of the Participant's Elective
Deferrals not in excess of 3% of the Participant's Compensation for that Plan
Year, plus 50% of the Participant's Elective Deferrals in excess of 3%, but not
in excess of 5%, of the Participant's Compensation for that Plan Year.
If the Participant's Elective Deferrals stop before the end of a Plan Year
because they reach the limitation in Code subsection 402(g), then the Employer
shall make a catch-up Matching Contribution for that Plan Year. The catch-up
Matching Contribution will be equal to the difference between (a) and (b), where
(a) is 100% of the Participant's Elective Deferrals for the Plan Year not in
excess of 3% of the Participant's Compensation for that Plan Year, plus 50% of
the Participant's Elective Deferrals for the Plan Year in excess of 3%, but not
in excess of 5%, of the Participant's Compensation for that Plan Year, and (b)
is the amount of the Matching Contributions previously made for the Participant
for the Plan Year.
(b) For the Plan Year beginning January 1, 2000, the Employer shall make
Matching Contributions based on the Participant's Elective Deferrals and
Compensation after June 30, 2000.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, the Employer
shall not make a Matching Contribution on behalf of a Highly Compensated
Participant for a Plan Year to the extent that it would cause the limitations of
Subsection 4.05(a) or (b) to be exceeded for the Plan Year. Matching
Contributions for a Plan Year shall be paid to the Trustee as soon as
practicable after the end of the pay period for which they are made and shall be
allocated to the Account of the Participant on whose behalf they were made as of
the end of the pay period.
Section 4.05. Limitation on Matching Contributions and Voluntary
Contributions. Except as otherwise provided in Article XVI, the amount of
Matching Contributions and Voluntary Contributions that may be allocated to the
Accounts of Highly Compensated Participants will be subject to the following
limitations:
(a) Matching Contributions and Voluntary Contributions made on behalf of
Highly Compensated Participants for a Plan Year will not result in a
Contribution Percentage for Highly Compensated Participants that exceeds both:
(1) 1.25 times the Contribution Percentage for Non-Highly
Compensated Participants for the prior Plan Year; and
(2) the lesser of (A) two times the Contribution Percentage for
Non-Highly Compensated Participants for the prior Plan Year or (B) two
percentage points more than the Contribution Percentage for Non-Highly
Compensated Participants for the prior Plan Year.
(b) Matching Contributions and Voluntary Contributions made on behalf of
Highly Compensated Participants will not cause the sum of the Deferral
Percentage and the Contribution Percentage for Highly Compensated Participants
to exceed the sum of the following:
-15-
(1) 1.25 times the lesser of (A) the Deferral Percentage for
Non-Highly Compensated Participants for the prior Plan Year or (B) the
Contribution Percentage for Non-Highly Compensated Participants for the
prior Plan Year; and
(2) the lesser of (A) two times the greater of (i) the Deferral
Percentage for Non-Highly Compensated Participants for the prior Plan Year
or (ii) the Contribution Percentage for Non-Highly Compensated
Participants for the prior Plan Year or (B) two percentage points more
than the greater of (i) the Deferral Percentage for Non-Highly Compensated
Participants for the prior Plan Year or (B) the Contribution Percentage
for Non-Highly Compensated Participants for the prior Plan Year.
The provisions of this Subsection (b) will apply only if the
Deferral Percentage for Highly Compensated Participants for the Plan Year
exceeds 1.25 times the Deferral Percentage for Non-Highly Compensated
Participants for the prior Plan Year and the Contribution Percentage for
Highly Compensated Participants for the Plan Year exceeds 1.25 times the
Contribution Percentage for Non-Highly Compensated Participants for the
prior Plan Year.
(c) To the extent that, due to an error, the limitations of Subsection (a)
are exceeded for a Plan Year, the following provisions will apply:
(1) To reduce the Contribution Ratio of Highly Compensated
Participants, Voluntary Contributions shall be reduced as provided in this
paragraph. If necessary, Matching Contributions shall then be reduced. The
Contribution Ratio of the Highly Compensated Participant with the highest
Contribution Ratio will be reduced to the higher of (A) the Contribution
Ratio necessary to enable the Plan to satisfy the limitations of
Subsection (a) or (B) the Contribution Ratio of the Highly Compensated
Participant with the next highest Contribution Ratio. The foregoing
process will be repeated until the limitations of Subsection (a) are
satisfied. The portion of any Matching Contributions and Voluntary
Contributions attributable to a reduction in a Participant's Contribution
Ratio pursuant to this Paragraph will be regarded as an excess Voluntary
Contribution and an excess Matching Contribution.
(2) The total dollar amount of any excess Matching Contributions and
any excess Voluntary Contributions will be allocated to one or more Highly
Compensated Participants by reducing the Matching Contributions and
Voluntary Contributions of the Highly Compensated Participant with the
highest dollar amount of Matching Contributions and Voluntary
Contributions by the lesser of (A) the amount required to cause that
Participant's Matching Contributions and Voluntary Contributions to equal
the Matching Contributions and Voluntary Contributions of the Highly
Compensated Participant with the next highest dollar amount or (B) the
total amount of excess Matching Contributions and excess Voluntary
Contributions. This process will be repeated until all excess Matching
Contributions and excess Voluntary Contributions are allocated.
(3) The Trustee will distribute any vested excess Matching
Contributions and excess Voluntary Contributions, together with all income
allocable thereto, to the Highly Compensated Participants to whom they
were allocated pursuant to Paragraph (2) within
-16-
one year after the end of the Plan Year for which they were made. Any
nonvested excess Matching Contributions allocated to a Highly
Compensated Participant for a Plan Year pursuant to Paragraph (2),
together with all income allocable to them, shall be forfeited as of
the last day of the Plan Year for which the contributions were made
and treated as provided in Subsection 6.04(c).
(d) To the extent that, after the application of Subsection (c), the
limitations of Subsection (b) are exceeded for a Plan Year, the following
provisions will apply:
(1) To reduce the Contribution Ratio of Highly Compensated
Participants, Voluntary Contributions shall be reduced as provided in this
paragraph. If necessary, Matching Contributions shall then be reduced. The
Contribution Ratio of the Highly Compensated Participant with the highest
Contribution Ratio will be reduced to the higher of (A) the Contribution
Ratio necessary to enable the Plan to satisfy the limitations of
Subsection (b) or (B) the Contribution Ratio of the Highly Compensated
Participant with the next highest Contribution Ratio. The foregoing
process will be repeated until the limitations of Subsection (b) are
satisfied. The portion of any Matching Contribution and any Voluntary
Contribution attributable to a reduction in a participant's Contribution
Xxxxx pursuant to this paragraph will be regarded as an excess Matching
Contribution and an excess Voluntary Contribution.
(2) The total dollar amount of any excess Matching Contributions and
any excess Voluntary Contributions will be allocated to one or more Highly
Compensated Participants by reducing the Matching Contributions and
Voluntary Contributions of the Highly Compensated Participant with the
highest dollar amount of Matching Contributions and Voluntary
Contributions by the lesser of (A) the amount required to cause that
Participant's Matching Contributions and Voluntary Contributions to equal
the Matching Contributions and Voluntary Contributions of the Highly
Compensated Participant with the next highest dollar amount or (B) the
total amount of excess Matching Contributions and Voluntary Contributions.
This process will be repeated until all excess Matching Contributions and
Voluntary Contributions are allocated.
(3) The Trustee will distribute any vested excess Matching
Contributions and excess Voluntary Contributions, together with all income
allocable thereto, to the Highly Compensated Participants to whom they
were allocated pursuant to Paragraph (2) within one year after the end of
the Plan Year for which they were made. Any nonvested excess Matching
Contributions allocated to a Highly Compensated Participant for a Plan
Year pursuant to Paragraph (2), together with all income allocable to
them, shall be forfeited as of the last day of the Plan Year for which the
contributions were made and treated as provided in Subsection 6.04(c).
(e) In determining the Contribution Percentage for a group for a Plan
Year, all "eligible employers" will be taken into account. For this purpose, an
"eligible employee" for a Plan Year is any Employee who is directly or
indirectly eligible to receive a Matching Contribution or make a Voluntary
Contribution for all or a portion of the Plan Year and includes an Employee who
would be eligible to receive a Matching Contribution and make a Voluntary
Contribution but for his failure to make an election pursuant to the Plan or his
hardship
-17-
withdrawal under another Retirement Plan, or because the Matching Contribution
and Voluntary Contribution would cause the limitation of Article XI to be
exceeded.
Section 4.06. Profit Sharing Contributions. The Employer will contribute
to the Trust for each Plan Year that amount, if any, determined by the Board of
Directors, provided that the amount of the Profit Sharing Contributions, when
added to all Elective Deferrals and Matching Contributions for the Plan Year,
does not exceed the amount allowable as a deduction from the Employer's income
for federal income tax purposes. Profit Sharing Contributions for a Plan Year
will be paid to the Trustee not later than the tax return due date for the
Employer's tax year ending with or during the Plan Year and will be allocated as
of the last day of the Plan Year among the Profit Sharing Accounts of
Participants on that date, in proportion to their relative Compensation for the
Plan Year. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, an Employer shall not make
a Profit Sharing Contribution on behalf of a Participant to the extent that it
would cause the limitations of Section 11.02 to be exceeded with respect to that
Participant for the Plan Year.
Section 4.07. Rollover Contributions. At any time during a Plan Year, an
Eligible Employee may make a Rollover Contribution to the Trust (a) in cash; or
(b) in Company Stock that, immediately before the Rollover Contribution is made,
is held in the Eligible Employee's account in a qualified retirement plan
maintained by a Related Employer or in an individual retirement account that
holds only amounts rolled into it from the Eligible Employee's account in a
qualified retirement plan maintained by a Related Employer. The Eligible
Employee must establish to the satisfaction of the Plan Administrator that the
contribution satisfies all applicable requirements of Code sections 402 and 408
and any other criteria that the Plan Administrator may establish from time to
time to ensure that the contribution will not adversely affect the Plan's
qualified status. A Rollover Contribution will be allocated to the Rollover
Account of the Eligible Employee who made it as of the date it is received by
the Trustee.
Section 4.08. Minimum Contribution Requirement. Except as otherwise
provided in Section 16.03 of the Plan, if the Plan is a Top-Heavy Plan for a
Plan Year, the minimum contribution requirements of Code subsection 416(c) will
be satisfied by the Employer as follows:
(a) the Employer will contribute on behalf of each Non-Key Employee who is
both a Participant and an Employee on the last day of the Plan Year (regardless
of the Participant's Hours of Service during the Plan Year) a contribution that,
together with any contribution otherwise made on behalf of the Employee to the
Plan or another defined contribution plan of the Employer, is not less than the
lesser of (1) 3% of the Employee's Regulatory Compensation for the Plan Year or
(2) the percentage at which contributions are made (or required to be made)
under the Plan and under any other defined contribution plan for the Plan Year
for the Key Employee for whom the percentage is the highest for the Plan Year.
That percentage will be determined for each Key Employee by dividing the
contributions for that Employee by his Regulatory Compensation for the Plan
Year.
(b) A Non-Key Employee who is a Participant at the end of the Plan Year
and who has at least 1,000 Hours of Service (or equivalent service as determined
pursuant to 29 C.F.R. Section 2530.200b-3) for the Plan Year under a top-heavy
defined benefit plan of the Employer will receive, instead of the minimum
contribution provided in Subsection (a), an accrued benefit
-18-
under the defined benefit plan that is at least as large as the defined benefit
provided for in the following sentence. The minimum accrued benefit required by
the preceding sentence, together with the balance of the Employee's Accounts
attributable to Employer contributions under this Plan and the balance, if any,
of the Employee's accounts attributable to Employer contributions under any
defined contribution plan of the Employer, must equal at all times at least the
product of the Employee's average Regulatory Compensation for the 5 consecutive
years when the Employee had the highest aggregate Regulatory Compensation from
the Employer and the lesser of 2% per Year of Continuous Service (excluding
years when neither plan was top-heavy and years completed before January 1,
1984) or 20%.
Section 4.09. Nondiversion and Exclusive Benefit. Except as expressly
provided in this Section, the Trust Assets will not revert to the Employer and
will be devoted exclusively to the payment of benefits to Participants,
Beneficiaries, and other persons and for the payment of reasonable
administration expenses as provided in the Plan and the Trust Agreement. The
Trustee will, however, return to the Employer a contribution to the Plan under
the following circumstances:
(a) If any contribution is made to the Plan by mistake of fact and the
Employer requests in writing that the contribution be returned, the Trustee will
comply with the Employer's request; provided, however, that no contribution may
be returned to the Employer pursuant to this Subsection more than one year after
the date on which the contribution is made; or
(b) To the extent that the deduction for a contribution made by the
Employer is disallowed, the contribution will be returned to the Employer (to
the extent disallowed) within one year after the disallowance of the deduction,
if the Employer so requests in writing.
If an Elective Deferral or Voluntary Contribution is returned to the Employer
pursuant to this Section, the Employer will return the contribution to the
Participant on whose behalf the contribution was made.
ARTICLE V
ACCOUNTING AND INVESTMENTS
Section 5.01. Participants' Accounts. The Plan Administrator will create
and maintain adequate records to disclose the interest in the Trust of each
Participant, Beneficiary and Alternate Payee. Records will be in the form of
individual bookkeeping accounts, and credits and charges will be made to those
Accounts pursuant to Article IV and the following provisions of this Article V.
Each Participant will have a separate Elective Deferral Account, Matching
Account, Profit Sharing Account, and Voluntary Account. Each Eligible Employee
who makes a Rollover Contribution will have a separate Rollover Account. Each
Beneficiary, and to the extent required by a Qualified Domestic Relations Order,
each Alternate Payee, will have the same separate accounts maintained for the
Participant from whom their Plan benefits derived. The maintenance of individual
Accounts is for accounting purposes only, and a segregation of Trust Assets to
each Account will not be required. The Plan Administrator will also maintain
records to indicate the amount of each Participant's Accounts in each Fund.
-19-
Section 5.02. Separate Investment Funds. The Trust Assets will be kept in
the common Funds that the Company may designate from time to time, and may
include a Fund primarily invested in Company Stock. The respective assets of
each Fund will be accounted for separately from those of each other Fund and
will be invested in accordance with the investment guidelines established for
the Fund by the Company. The Trustee's discretion in investing the assets of the
Funds will be subject only to the foregoing provisions of this Section, the
Trust Agreement, and EMS A. The Trustee may invest the assets of any Fund and
commingle funds to the extent that the investment is consistent with the
purposes of the Fund.
Section 5.03. Valuation Standards. If the value of the Trust Assets is not
readily ascertainable from the transactions of a securities exchange, the Trust
Assets will be valued in accordance with the Trustee's best judgment. In
determining the value of the Trust Assets, the Trustee will exercise its best
judgment, using generally accepted trust and accounting principles, and all such
determinations of value will be binding upon all persons claiming benefits under
the provisions of the Plan.
Section 5.04. General Method of Determining Values of Participants'
Accounts. The value of each Account of a Participant will be the value of the
Account as of the preceding Valuation Date, increased by the dollar amount of
any contributions allocated to the Account after the preceding Valuation Date
and decreased by the amount of any payments made from the Account after the
preceding Valuation Date. On each Valuation Date, each Account will be adjusted
by the dollar amount of any earnings or losses allocated to that Account as of
that Valuation Date.
Section 5.05. Allocation of Earnings to Accounts. On each Valuation Date,
earnings will be allocated as follows:
(a) The earnings of a Fund, whether positive or negative, will be
allocated among all Accounts in proportion to the relative value of those
Accounts invested in the Fund as of the end of the preceding Valuation Date (as
adjusted pursuant to Subsection (b)). Accounts terminated since the end of the
preceding Valuation Date will be disregarded for purposes of this Subsection.
(b) For purposes of determining the allocation of investment earnings
pursuant to Subsection (a), the value of a Participant's Accounts, as of the
preceding Valuation Date will be adjusted as follows:
(1) The value of a Participant's Accounts invested in a Fund as of
the preceding Valuation Date will be decreased by any amounts distributed
from the Participant's Accounts invested in that Fund since the preceding
Valuation Date (excluding any amounts distributed as of the date on which
the investment earnings are allocated).
(2) The value of a Participant's Accounts invested in a Fund as of
the preceding Valuation Date will be increased by the amount of any
Elective Deferrals, Rollover Contributions or Voluntary Contributions
allocated to the Participant's Accounts invested in that Fund since the
preceding Valuation Date.
-20-
(c) The investment earnings of each Fund between Valuation Dates will be
equal to the difference between the fair market value of the Fund as of the
preceding Valuation Date and the current Valuation Date; plus (1) the amount of
benefits paid from the Fund and (2) amounts transferred from the Fund to another
Fund since the preceding Valuation Date; and less (I) any contributions made to
the Fund and (2) any amounts transferred to the Fund from another Fund since the
preceding Valuation Date.
Section 5.06. Crediting of Contributions and Forfeitures to Particular
Funds. A Participant's Accounts will be invested in a particular Fund or Funds
according to his written designation. Subject to any rules the Plan
Administrator may reasonably establish, a Participant may invest in more than
one Fund. If the Participant does not designate a particular Fund, contributions
allocated to his Accounts will be invested in a Fund designated by the Plan
Administrator as the Fund to receive such allocations.
Section 5.07. Transfers Among Funds. To the extent permitted by the Plan
Administrator, a Participant may cause a transfer of all or a part of his
Accounts invested in one Fund to be transferred to another Fund. A Participant
who desires such a transfer will execute a written form provided by the Plan
Administrator and will file it with the Plan Administrator within the time
limits specified by the Plan Administrator. Every transfer election will be
irrevocable and will specify the Fund from which the transfer is to be made and
the Fund into which the transfer is to be made.
Section 5.08. Investment Discretion of Beneficiaries and Alternate Payees.
A Participant's Beneficiary and Alternate Payee will be entitled to exercise
investment discretion with respect to his Accounts pursuant to the foregoing
provisions.
ARTICLE VI
VESTING AND FORFEITURE
Section 6.01. Nonforfeitability. For all purposes of the Plan, a "vested"
interest is an interest that is nonforfeitable in that it constitutes a claim
that is unconditional and legally enforceable against the Plan.
Section 6.02. Vested Interests. A Participant's interest in his or her
Elective Deferral Account, Voluntary Account, Matching Account, Rollover
Account, and that portion of his or her Profit Sharing Account attributable to
profit sharing contributions made prior to 1994 shall be 100% vested at all
times.
Section 6.03. Vesting of Profit Sharing Account. A Participant's interest
in that portion of the Participant's Profit Sharing Account attributable to
Profit Sharing Contributions shall be forfeitable, except as that interest
becomes vested under the following provisions:
(a) A Participant's interest in his or her Profit Xxxxxxx Account
attributable to Profit Sharing Contributions shall be 100% vested upon the
occurrence of any of the following events:
(1) attainment of the normal retirement age of 65 while an Employee;
-21-
(2) death or Disability while an Employee;
(3) a complete discontinuance of contributions under the Plan;
(4) partial termination of the Plan (within the meaning of the Code)
with respect to the Participant; or

Section 6.04. Forfeitures.
(a) Except as provided in Subsection (b), no amount credited to a
Participant shall be forfeited upon Severance from Service until he incurs five

not an Employee, the nonvested portion of his Profit Sharing Account shall be
forfeited.
(b) Notwithstanding Subsection (a), if a Participant's entire vested
Accounts are distributed (or deemed distributed pursuant to Section 7.05) before
the end of the Plan Year following the Plan Year in which the Participant incurs
a Severance from Service, the nonvested portion of the Participant's Accounts
shall be forfeited immediately upon the distribution. If a former Participant is
reemployed by the Employer, the amount forfeited pursuant to the preceding
sentence shall be restored if the Participant repays to the Trust the full
amount distributed to him before the date on which he incurs S consecutive one
year Periods of Severance after the date of the distribution. Amounts restored
shall come from Trust income and, to the extent necessary, forfeitures. If Trust
income and forfeitures are insufficient to restore the forfeited amounts, the

forfeited amount. The additional Employer contribution shall not constitute an
Annual Addition.
(c) The total dollar amount of all interests forfeited during a Plan Year
shall be held in a separate suspense account until the last day of the Plan

Year among the Profit Sharing Accounts of Participants on that date, as provided
in Section 4.06 for the allocation of Profit Sharing Contributions.

or Beneficiary, except that the value of any fractional shares of Company Stock
will be distributed in cash.
-22-
Section 7.02. Termination and Disability Benefits. If a Participant incurs
a Disability or terminates employment for any reason other than death, his
vested Accounts will be distributed as provided in this Section. If the value of
a Participant's vested Accounts exceeds $5,000, the Participant may elect at any
time after incurring a Disability or terminating employment to receive the
vested portion of his Accounts in a lump sum. If a Participant files a written
election with the Plan Administrator pursuant to the preceding sentence, the
Plan Administrator will cause his vested Accounts to be distributed to him as
soon as administratively feasible after it receives his election.
Section 7.03. Death Benefits. If a Participant dies, his remaining vested
Accounts will be distributed in a lump sum to his Beneficiary as soon as
administratively feasible after his death. Notwithstanding the preceding
sentence, if the Participant's Beneficiary is his Spouse, payment of the lump
sum to the Spouse will be made as of the date elected in writing by the Spouse.
Section 7.04. Payment of Small Accounts. Notwithstanding any other
provision of the Plan, if the value of any benefit payable under the Plan does
not exceed $5,000, the benefit will be paid to the Participant (or the
Participant's Beneficiary) in a lump sum payment as soon as administratively
feasible after the Participant is determined to be Disabled, terminates
employment or dies, whichever is applicable. For purposes of this Section, if
the present value of a Participant's vested benefit is zero, the Participant
will be deemed to have received a distribution.
Section 7.05. Permitted Withdrawals from Voluntary Account. A Participant
may elect. at any time to withdraw the entire amount allocated to his Voluntary
Account in a lump sum cash payment. The Plan Administrator will distribute the
Participant's Voluntary Account in accordance with the Participant's election.
Section 7.06. Other Distribution Rules Imposed by Federal Law. This
Section has been included in the Plan to comply with the limitations imposed by
Code paragraphs 401(a)(9) and 401(a)(14), and it will not be construed as
providing for a form of benefit not otherwise provided for under the Plan. Any
distribution under the Plan will be made in accordance with regulations under
Code paragraph 401(a)(9) and, except to the extent otherwise provided in Article
XVII, will comply with the following rules:
(a) Unless a Participant elects otherwise, the payment of his benefits
under the Plan must begin not later than the 60th day after the end of the Plan
Year in which occurs the latest of (1) the Participant's 65th birthday, (2) the
10th anniversary of the Plan Year in which the Participant began participation
in the Plan, or (3) termination of the Participant's employment with the
Employer.
(b) For purposes of this Section, "required beginning date" means, with
respect to a Participant who is not a 5% owner as described in Code section 416,
April 1 of the calendar year following the later of (1) the calendar year in
which the Participant reaches age 70-1/2 or (2) the calendar year in which the
Participant retires. With respect to a Participant who is a 5% owner as
described in Code section 416, "required beginning date" means April 1 of the
calendar year following the calendar year in which the Participant reaches age
70-1/2.
-23-
(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, the entire interest
of each Participant will be distributed either (1) in a single lump sum payment
not later than the required beginning date, or (2) in a series of payments
beginning not later than the required beginning date over the life of the
Participant or over the lives of the Participant and a designated Beneficiary
(or over a period not extending beyond the life expectancy of the Participant or
the life expectancy of the Participant and a designated Beneficiary). If a
Participant's entire interest is to be distributed in other than a lump sum,
then the amount to be distributed each year must be at least an amount equal to
the quotient obtained by dividing the Participant's entire interest by the life
expectancy of the Participant or joint and last survivor expectancy of the
Participant and designated Beneficiary. Life expectancy and joint and last
survivor expectancy are computed by the use of the expected return multiples
contained in Tables V and VI of 26 C.F.R. Section 1.72-9. For purposes of this
computation, life expectancies will not be recalculated.
(d) If (1) the distribution of a Participant's interest has begun in
accordance with Subsection (c) and (2) the Participant dies before his entire
interest has been distributed to him, the remaining portion of his interest will
be distributed at least as rapidly as under the method of distribution being
used under Subsection (c) as of the date of his death.
(e) Except as provided in Subsection (f), if a Participant dies before the
distribution of his interest has begun in accordance with Subsection (c), the
entire interest of the Participant will be distributed within 5 years after his
death.
(f) For purposes of Subsection (e), any portion of a distribution that is
payable to (or for the benefit of) a designated Beneficiary will be treated as
completely distributed on the date the distributions begin if:
(1) that portion is to be distributed (in accordance with
regulations prescribed by the Secretary) over the life of the designated
Beneficiary (or over a period not extending beyond the life expectancy of
the Beneficiary), and
(2) those distributions begin by the latest of (i) one year after
the date of the Participant's death, (ii) any later date that the
Secretary may establish by regulations, or (iii) if the Beneficiary is the
Participant's surviving Spouse, the date that the Participant would have
reached age 70-1/2.
(g) If the designated Beneficiary is the surviving Spouse of the
Participant, and if the surviving Spouse dies before the distributions to the
Spouse begin, Subsections (d), (e), and (f) will be applied as if the surviving
Spouse were the Participant.
(h) For purposes of Subsection (f), payments will be calculated by use of
the expected return multiples specified in Tables V and VI of 26 C.F.R. Section
1.72-9. Life expectancies of Beneficiaries will be calculated at the time
payment first commences without further recalculation.
(i) For purposes of Subsection (c), (d), (e), and (f), if any amount paid
to a child of the Participant becomes payable to the surviving Spouse when the
child reaches the age of majority, that amount will be treated as if it had been
paid to the surviving Spouse.
-24-
(j) The method of distribution selected must assure that at least 50% of
the present value of the amount available for distribution is paid within the
life expectancy of the Participant.
(k) With respect to distributions under the Plan made -for calendar years
beginning on or after January 1, 2001, the Plan will apply the minimum
distribution requirements of Code section 401 (a)(9) in accordance with the
regulations under Code section 401 (a)(9) that were proposed on January 17,
2001, notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary. This provision
shall continue in effect until the end of the last calendar year beginning
before the effective date of final regulations under Code section 401 (a)(9) or
such other date as may be specified in guidance issued by the Internal Revenue
Service.
Section 7.07. Beneficiaries. A Participant's Beneficiary shall be
determined pursuant to this Section.
(a) A Participant's Spouse shall be his Beneficiary, unless the Spouse has
consented to the appointment of another Beneficiary in accordance with
Subsection (c). Except as provided in the preceding sentence, "Beneficiary"
means the person or persons, including a trustee, designated in writing by a
Participant pursuant to practices of, or rules prescribed by, the Plan
Administrator, as the recipient of a benefit payable under the Plan following
the Participant's death. To be effective, a Beneficiary designation must be
filed with the Plan Administrator during the Participant's life and acknowledged
by the Plan Administrator in writing.
(b) If no person has been designated as the Beneficiary of a Participant,
or if no person so designated survives the Participant, then the Beneficiary
shall be determined as follows:
(I) If the Participant is survived by a Spouse, the Spouse shall be
the Participant's Beneficiary.
(2) If the Participant is not survived by a Spouse, the
Participant's estate shall be the Participant's Beneficiary.
If any amount becomes payable under the Plan to a Beneficiary who survives the
Participant but dies before receiving the benefit due him, and if the
Participant has not named a contingent Beneficiary who survives the Participant,
the Participant's remaining vested Accounts will be paid in a lump sum as soon
as administratively feasible following the Beneficiary's death to the
Beneficiary's estate.
(c) A Participant's designation of someone other than his Spouse as his
Beneficiary will not be given effect unless the Participant's Spouse consents to
the designation in writing, her consent acknowledges the effect of the
Participant's designation and her consent, and the consent is witnessed by a
Plan representative or a notary public. Notwithstanding this consent
requirement, if the Participant establishes to the Plan Administrator's
satisfaction that the written consent cannot be obtained because there is no
Spouse or the Spouse cannot be located, the designation will be deemed to have
the Spouse's consent. If a Participant is legally separated from his Spouse or
has been abandoned by his Spouse (within the meaning of local law) and the
Participant has a court order to that effect, the Spouse's consent will not be
required unless a Qualified Domestic Relations Order provides otherwise. Any
spousal consent will be valid only
-25-
with respect to the Spouse who signs the consent, or in the case of a deemed
consent, the designated Spouse. If a Participant's Spouse is legally incompetent
to give consent, the Spouse's legal guardian (even if the guardian is the
Participant) may give consent. A Participant may revoke a prior designation of a
non-Spouse Beneficiary without his Spouse's consent at any time before the
distribution of his Accounts begins.
Section 7.08. Effect of Government Regulation on Payment of Benefits. If
any regulation of the federal government or a federal agency prohibits or
prevents the payment or distribution of benefits in the manner provided in the
Plan, the Plan Administrator will conform to the regulation without amendment of
the Plan.
Section 7.09. Inalienability of Benefits. Except as provided in this
Section, no Plan benefit will be subject in any manner to anticipation,
alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, or charge, whether
voluntary or involuntary, and any attempt to anticipate, alienate, sell,
transfer, assign, pledge, encumber, or charge a Plan benefit will be void. The
prohibition set out in the preceding sentence will not apply to the creation,
assignment, or recognition of a right to any benefit payable with respect to a
Participant pursuant to a Qualified Domestic Relations Order, or to any offset
of a Participant's Accounts against an amount that the Participant is ordered or
required to pay to the Plan pursuant to Code subparagraph 40 l(a)(l 3)(c).
Section 7.10. Payments for Benefit of Incompetents. If any benefit is
payable to a minor or other person legally incompetent and the Plan
Administrator is aware of that person's status, the Plan Administrator will
direct that payments be made to the legal guardian of that person or to such
other person or organization as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.
Section 7.11. Qualified Domestic Relations Orders. If a Qualified Domestic
Relations Order provides for the payment of all or a portion of a Participant's
Accounts to an Alternate Payee, distribution to the Alternate Payee will be made
at any time specified in the Qualified Domestic Relations Order, irrespective of
whether the Participant has reached the "earliest retirement age," as defined in
Code subsection 414(p).
Section 7.12. Direct Rollovers. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan
to the contrary that would otherwise limit a Distributee's election under this
Section, a Distributee may elect, at the time and in the manner prescribed by
the Plan Administrator, to have any portion of an Eligible Rollover Distribution
paid directly to an Eligible Retirement Plan specified by the Distributee in a
Direct Rollover.

ARTICLE IX
CLAIMS PROCEDURES
Section 9.01. Presentation of Claims. Any person believing himself to be
entitled to a benefit under the Plan may file an application or claim for the
benefit with the Plan Administrator. The Plan Administrator may adopt and supply
forms for benefit applications, but no claim will be adversely affected because
the claimant has not used the form adopted by the Plan Administrator. A claim
for a benefit will be deemed to have been made upon receipt by the Plan
Administrator of a written request for the benefit, signed by the claimant or
his representative.
Section 9.02. Denial of Claim. Failure of the Plan Administrator to allow
a claim or any part of it within 90 days after its receipt of the claim will be
considered to be a denial of the
-28-
claim or the part of the claim not allowed. If a claim is denied in whole or in
part, the Plan Administrator, within 90 days after receipt of the claim, will
give the claimant written notice of the denial. If special circumstances require
extension of the 90-day response period, the Plan Administrator may extend the
period for up to 90 additional days by notifying the claimant, within the
original 90-day period, of the extension, the reason for it, and when a decision
can be expected. The notice of a claim denial will state, in a manner calculated
to be understood by the claimant, the following:
(a) The specific reason or reasons for the denial;
(b) Specific reference to the Plan provision or provisions on which the
denial is based;

writing to the Plan Administrator, with any documentary evidence in support of
his claim.
(e) The decision by the Plan Administrator will be given to the claimant
in writing within 60 days after receipt by the Plan Administrator of the

additional days by notifying the claimant, within the original 60-day period, of
the extension, the reason for it, and when a decision can be expected. If the
decision denies the claim, in whole or in part, the decision will state the
specific reasons for the denial, including specific references to the Plan

ARTICLE X
LIMITATIONS ON RIGHTS OF EMPLOYEES AND OTHER PERSONS
Section 10.01. In General. The Plan is strictly a voluntary obligation on
the part of the Employer and will not be deemed to constitute a contract between
the Employer and any Employee or to be a consideration for, an inducement to, or
a condition of the employment of any Employee. Neither the Employer, the Plan
Administrator, nor the Trustee in any way guarantees against loss or
depreciation of any Trust Assets or guarantees the payment of any benefit or
amount that may become due under the Plan to any Participant, his Beneficiaries,
or to any creditor of the Trust. Except as may be otherwise provided by XXXXX,
neither the Employer nor the Plan Administrator will be liable to any person for
any act or omission of the Trustee, nor will the Trustee be liable to any person
for any act or omission of the Employer or the Plan Administrator.
Section 10.02. No Increase or Impairment of Other Rights. Nothing
contained in the Plan will be deemed to give any Employee the right to be
retained in the Employer's service or will interfere with the Employer's right
to discharge or otherwise terminate any Employee's employment.
Section 10.03. Trust Sole Source of Benefits. Except as may be otherwise
provided by ERISA, no person will be entitled to any right or claim to benefits
except to the extent that the right is specifically fixed under the terms of the
Plan and there are Trust Assets available for payment of the benefits.
Section 10.04. Other Limitations of Liability. Except as may be otherwise
provided by ERISA, neither the Employer, the Plan Administrator, nor the Trustee
will be under any liability or responsibility for the validity or effectiveness
of the Plan or the Trust Agreement, or for any failure of this Plan or the Trust
to qualify at any time or for any period as a tax-exempt plan or trust under the
provisions of the Code or any applicable law or for any tax or increase in tax
on a Participant or Beneficiary because of any benefits.
ARTICLE XI
PROVISIONS DESIGNED TO COMPLY WITH LIMITATIONS ON
CONTRIBUTIONS AND OTHER ADDITIONS
Section 11.01. Purpose and Construction of This Article. This Article is
included in the Plan to comply with limitations imposed by Code section 415, and
all provisions of this Article will be construed and applied accordingly.
Section 11.02. General Statement of Limitation. Notwithstanding any other
provision of the Plan, a Participant's Annual Addition will not exceed the
lesser of(a) $30,000 or (b) 25% of the Participant's Regulatory Compensation for
that Plan Year.
Section 11.03. Adjustments to Allocation of Contributions. If a
Participant's Annual Addition would exceed the limitations of this Article to be
exceeded for a Plan Year as a result of the allocation of forfeitures, a
reasonable error in estimating a Participant's Regulatory Compensation, or under
other limited facts and circumstances that the Commissioner of Internal
-30-
Revenue finds justify the availability of the rules set forth in this Section,
then the Participant's Annual Addition will be adjusted to the extent necessary
to comply with the applicable limitation. Any adjustment to components of the
Annual Addition pursuant to the preceding sentence will be made in the following
order: Voluntary Contributions, Elective Deferrals, Matching Contributions,
Profit Sharing Contributions, and forfeitures. Any Elective Deferrals or
Voluntary Contributions adjusted pursuant to this Section, and the gains
attributable to them, will be distributed to the Participants on whose behalf
they were made not later than the last day of the Plan Year following the Plan
Year for which the limitation was exceeded. Any other excess contribution
adjusted pursuant to this Section will be reallocated as provided in the Section
of the Plan relating to the allocation of the particular type of contribution
being reallocated. If the reallocation required by the preceding sentence would
cause the amounts allocated to the Accounts of all Participants to exceed the
limitation set out in Section 11.02 for a Plan Year, then the excess amounts
will be held unallocated in a suspense account in the Trust and allocated in
succeeding Plan Years, in order of time, to the maximum extent permitted by
Section 11.02, until the account is exhausted. If a suspense account is in
existence at any time during a Plan Year, other than the Plan Year described in
the preceding sentence, all amounts in the suspense account must be allocated
and reallocated to Participants' Accounts (subject to the limitations of this
Article) before any contributions that would constitute Annual Additions may be
made for the Plan Year.
ARTICLE XII
AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF PLAN
Section 12.01. Amendments in General. The Company reserves the right to
modify or amend the Plan in whole or in part at any time or from time to time by
action of its Board of Directors. The Company may not, however, make any
modification or amendment that materially affects the rights, duties, or
responsibilities of the Trustee, unless the Trustee consents in writing to the
modification or amendment. Moreover, except as otherwise permitted by the Code
and ERISA, the Company may not make a modification or amendment that:
(a) will reduce the Accounts of any Participant;
(b) will eliminate an optional form of distribution with respect to
benefits accrued before the amendment;

Trust to be used for, or diverted to, purposes other than the exclusive benefit
of Participants, Beneficiaries, and other persons entitled to benefits under the
Plan; or
(d) will permit any part of the principal or income of the Trust to revert
to the Employer.
Section 12.02. Amendments Necessary to Bring Plan into Compliance with the
Code and ERISA. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, any
modification or amendment of the Plan may be made, retroactively if necessary,
that may be required (a) to cause the Trust to constitute a qualified trust
under the provisions of Code section 401, (b) to cause the Plan to
-31-
contain a qualified cash or deferred arrangement under Code subsection 401(k),
or (c) to comply in every respect with ERISA.
Section 12.03. Amendments to Vesting Provisions. No amendment to the
vesting provisions of the Plan will deprive a Participant of his nonforfeitable
rights to benefits accrued before the date of the amendment. Further, if the
Plan's vesting provisions are amended, each Participant with at least 3 years of
Continuous Service may elect, within the period specified in the following
sentence, to have his nonforfeitable percentage computed under the Plan without
regard to the amendment. The period during which the election may be made will
begin with the date the amendment is adopted and will end 60 days after the
latest of the following events occurs: (1) the amendment is adopted, (2) the
amendment becomes effective, or (3) the Participant is issued written notice of
the amendment by the Employer.
Section 12.04. Termination of Plan. The Plan is intended to be permanent,
and the Trust created in support of the Plan is intended to be irrevocable,
except in the manner and to the extent otherwise provided in this instrument or
in the Trust Agreement. The Company hopes to maintain the Plan indefinitely and
to continue contributions to the Trust under the Plan, but neither the Company
nor any Employer has any obligation or liability whatsoever to maintain the Plan
or to continue contributions to the Trust for any given length of time. The Plan
and Trust will terminate upon the occurrence of any of the following
circumstances:
(a) termination of the business of the Company without provision for
continuing the Plan, except that provision may be made by which the Plan will be
continued by the successor to the Company or any transferee of all or
substantially all of its assets and business, and, in the event that an election
is made to continue the Plan, the successor or purchaser will automatically
become substituted for the Company;
(b) legal adjudication of the Company as a bankrupt; a general assignment
by the Company to or for the benefit of its creditors; or the voluntary or
involuntary dissolution of the Company; or
(c) termination of the Plan by the Company upon notice delivered to the
Trustee as provided in the following Section.
Section 12.05. Effect of Termination on Trust. Upon termination of the
Plan, no further contributions to the Trust will be made, except that the
Employer will thereupon promptly pay to the Trust the unpaid balance, if any, of
any contribution required of the Employer with respect to the last completed
Plan Year preceding the date of termination. If the Plan is terminated by fewer
than all Employers, it will continue in effect for Participants employed by the
remaining Employers.
Section 12.06. Payment of Benefits upon Termination. Upon termination of
the Plan, the Trust will continue in existence for the purpose of administering
the Trust Assets and the payment in full of all benefits pursuant to the
provisions of Article VII. A Participant's Elective Deferral Account and
Matching Account will not be distributed earlier than upon one of the following
events:
-32-
(a) The Participant's retirement, death, disability, attainment of age
59-1/2, or separation from service.
(b) The termination of the Plan without establishment of a successor plan.
(c) The date of the sale or other disposition by the Employer to an
unrelated corporation, which does not maintain the Plan, of substantially all of
the assets (within the meaning of Code paragraph 409(d)(2)) used by the Employer
in its trade or business. The preceding sentence will apply only with respect to
a Participant who continues employment with the corporation acquiring the
Employer's assets.
Section 12.07. Post-Termination Powers of Trustees, Plan Administrator.
Company, and Employer. Notwithstanding the termination of the Plan and the

PROVISIONS RELATING TO TOP-HEAVY PLAN
Section 13.01. Construction of this Article. This Article will be
construed in accordance with Code section 416 and the regulations thereunder.
Section 13.02. Top-Heavy Determination. For each Plan Year, the Plan
Administrator will determine whether the Plan is a Top- Heavy Plan.
(a) The Plan will be determined to be a Top-Heavy Plan if it satisfies
either Paragraph (1) or Paragraph (2).
(1) Except as provided in Paragraph (3), the Plan will be a
Top-Heavy Plan for a Plan Year if, as of the Determination Date, the
aggregate of the Accounts of Key Employees exceeds 60% of the aggregate of
all the Accounts of all Employees.
(2) Except as provided in Paragraph (3), the Plan will be a
Top-Heavy Plan for a Plan Year if it is included in a Required Aggregation
Group that is a Top-Heavy Group for the Plan Year.
(3) The Plan will not be a Top-Heavy Plan for a Plan Year if it is
included in an Aggregation Group (whether a Required Aggregation Group or
a Permissive Aggregation Group) that is not a Top-Heavy Group for the Plan
Year.
(b) An Aggregation Group will be a Top-Heavy Group for the Plan Year if
(as of the respective Determination Dates that occur in the same calendar year
for each of the plans in the Aggregation Group) the sum of:
-33-
(1) the present value of the cumulative accrued benefits for Key
Employees under all defined benefit Retirement Plans included in the
Aggregation Group, and
(2) the aggregate balances of the accounts of Key Employees under
all defined contribution Retirement Plans included in the Aggregation
Group,
exceeds 60% of a similar sum determined for all Employees.
(c) In making the determinations required by this Section, the rules of
Section 13.03 will apply.
Section 13.03. Special Rules Relating to Determination of Top-Heavy
Status. In making the determinations required by this Article, the following
rules will apply:
(a) In determining the present value of an Employee's accrued benefits
under any defined benefit Retirement Plan, the mortality table and interest rate
set out in that Retirement Plan will be used.
(b) For purposes of determining the present value of an Employee's accrued
benefit and accounts under this Article, distributions made with respect to the
Employee during the 5-year period ending on the Determination Date will be taken
into account. The preceding sentence will also apply to distributions under a
terminated Retirement Plan that would have been required to be included in the
Aggregation Group if the Retirement Plan had not been terminated.
(c) All Retirement Plans included in the Required Aggregation Group must
be aggregated to determine whether they constitute a Top-Heavy Group.
(d) If an individual is a Non-Key Employee with respect to any Retirement
Plan for a Plan Year, but the individual was a Key Employee with respect to the
Retirement Plan for any prior Plan Year, no accrued benefit or account of the
Employee will be taken into account in determining top-heavy status.
(e) If an individual has not performed any service for the Employer at any
time during the 5-year period ending on the Determination Date, the accrued
benefits and accounts of that individual will not be taken into account.
(f) For purposes of determining the present value of the accrued benefit
of an Employee other than a Key Employee, the accrued benefit will be determined
(I) under the method used for accrual purposes for all Retirement Plans of the
Employer, or (2) if there is no method described in Clause (1), as if the
benefit accrued not more rapidly than the slowest accrual rate permitted under
Code subparagraph 41 1(b)(l)(C).

(a) Effective Date. Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan to
the contrary, this Section shall apply for purposes of determining whether the

determination of who is a Key Employee will be made in accordance with
Code section 416(i)(l) and the applicable regulations and other guidance
of general applicability issued thereunder.
(2) Determination of Present Values and Amounts. This Section (2)
shall apply for purposes of determining the present values of accrued
benefits and the amounts of Account balances of Employees as of the

contribution requirements of Code section 41 6(c)(2) and the Plan.
The preceding sentence shall apply with respect to Matching
Contributions under the Plan or, if the Plan provides that the

other plan. Employer Matching Contributions that are used to satisfy
the minimum contribution requirements shall be treated as Matching
Contributions for purposes of the actual contribution percentage
test and other requirements of Code section 40 1(m).
(B) Contributions Under Other Plans. The Employer may provide
that the minimum benefit requirement shall be met in another plan
(including another plan that consists solely of a cash or deferred
arrangement which meets the requirements of Code section 401(k)(12)
and matching contributions with respect to which the requirements of
Code section 401(m)(1 1) of the Code are met).
Section 15.05. Direct Rollovers of Plan Distributions.
(a) Effective Date. This Section shall apply to distributions made after
December 31, 2001.
(b) Modification of Definition of Eligible Retirement Plan. For purposes
of the direct rollover provisions in Section 7.12 of the Plan, an Eligible

403(b) and an eligible plan under Code section 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 Relations Order.
(c) Modification of Definition of Eligible Rollover Distribution To
Exclude Hardship Distributions. For purposes of the direct rollover provisions
in Section 7.12 of the Plan, any amount that is distributed on account of
hardship shall not be an Eligible Rollover Distribution and the distributee may
not elect to have any portion of such a distribution paid directly to an
Eligible Retirement Plan.
-38-
(d) Modification of Definition of Eligible Rollover Distribution to
Include After-Tax Employee Contributions. For purposes of the Direct Rollover
provisions in Section 7.12 of the Plan, 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 includable in gross income.
However, such portion may be transferred only to an individual retirement
account or annuity described in Code section 408(a) or (b), or to a qualified
defined contribution plan described in Code section 401(a) or 403(a) that agrees
to separately account for amounts so transferred, including separately

income and the portion of such distribution which is not so includable.
Section 15.06. Rollovers Disregarded In Involuntary Cashouts.
(a) Applicability and Effective Date. This Section shall apply with
respect to distributions made after December 31, 2001.

Distributions. For purposes of Section 7.04 of the Plan, the value of a
Participant's nonforfeitable Accounts shall be determined without regard to that
portion of the Accounts that is attributable to Rollover Contributions (and
earnings allocable thereto) within the meaning of Code sections 402(c),
403(a)(4), 403(b)(8), 408(d)(3)(A)(ii), and 457(e)(16). If the value of the
Participant's nonforfeitable Accounts as so determined is $5,000 or less, the
Plan shall immediately distribute the balance of the Participant's entire
nonforfeitable Accounts.
Section 15.07. Repeal of Multiple Use Test. The multiple use test
described in Treasury Regulation section l.401(m)-2 and Section 4.05 of the Plan
shall not apply for Plan Years beginning after December 31, 2001.

for such taxable year, except to the extent permitted under Section 15.09 of
this Plan and Code section 4 14(v), if applicable.
Section 15.09. Catch-Up Contributions. All Participants who are eligible
to make Elective Deferrals under this Plan and who have attained age 50 before
the close of the Plan Year shall be eligible to make catch-up contributions in
accordance with, and subject to the limitations of, Code section 4 14(v). Such
catch-up contributions shall not be taken into account for purposes of the
provisions of the Plan implementing the required limitations of Code sections
402(g) and 415. The Plan shall not be treated as failing to satisfy the
provisions of the Plan implementing the requirements of Code section 401 (k)(3),
401 (k)(I 1), 401 (k)(1 2), 410(b), or 416, as applicable, by reason of the

Contributions, qualified matching contributions, and earnings attributable to
these contributions shall be distributed on account of the Participant's
severance from employment. However, such a distribution shall be subject to the
other provisions of the Plan regarding distributions, other than provisions that
require a separation from service before such amounts may be distributed.
ARTICLE XVI

-40-
Section 17.02. Time and Manner of Distribution.
(a) 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.
(b) 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:
(1) 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 70-1/2, if
later.
(2) If the Participant's surviving Spouse is not the Participant's
sole designated Beneficiary, then distributions to the Beneficiary will
begin by December 31 of the calendar year immediately following the
calendar year in which the Participant died.
(3) 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.
(4) 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 Subsection
(b), other than Paragraph (b)(l), will apply as if the surviving Spouse
were the Participant.
For purposes of this Subsection 17.02(b) and Section 17.04, unless
Paragraph 17.02(b)(4) applies, distributions are considered to begin on the
Participant's required beginning date. If Paragraph 17.02(b)(4) applies,
distributions are considered to begin on the date distributions are required to
begin to the surviving Spouse under Paragraph 17.02(b)(1). 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 Paragraph 17.02(b)(l)), the date
distributions are considered to begin is the date distributions actually
commence.
(c) Forms of Distribution. Unless the Participant's interest is
distributed in the form of an annuity purchased from an insurance company or in
a single sum on or before the required beginning date, as of the first
distribution calendar year, distributions will be made in accordance with
Sections 17.03 and 17.04. 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 section 401 (a)(9) and
the Treasury regulations.
Section 17.03. Required Minimum Distributions During Participant's
Lifetime.
-41-
(a) 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:
(1) the quotient obtained by dividing the Participant's Account
balance by the distribution period in the Uniform Lifetime Table set forth
in section 1 .401(a)(9)-9 of the Treasury regulations, using the
Participant's age as of the Participant's birthday in the distribution
calendar year; or
(2) if the Participant's sole designated Beneficiary for the
distribution calendar year is the Participant's Spouse, the quotient
obtained by dividing the Participant's Account balance by the number in
the Joint and Last Survivor Table set forth in section 1.401 (a)(9)-9 of
the Treasury regulations, using the Participant's and Spouse's attained
ages as of the Participant's and Spouse's birthdays in the distribution
calendar year.
(b) Lifetime Required Minimum Distributions Continue Through Year of
Participant's Death. Required minimum distributions will be determined under
this Section 17.03 beginning with the first distribution calendar year and up to
and including the distribution calendar year that includes the Participant's
date of death
Section 17.04. Required Minimum Distributions After Participant's Death.
(a) Death On or After Date Distributions Begin.
(1) 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:
(A) 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.
(B) If the Participant's surviving Spouse is the Participant's
designated sole 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.
(C) If the Participant's surviving Spouse is not the
Participant's sole designated Beneficiary, the Beneficiary's
remaining life expectancy is calculated
-42-
using the age of the Beneficiary in the year following the year of
the Participant's death, reduced by one for each subsequent year.
(2) 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.
(b) Death Before Date Distributions Begin.
(I) Participant Survived by 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 Subsection (a).
(2) 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.
(3) 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
Paragraph 17.02(b)(1), this Subsection (b) will apply as if the surviving
Spouse were the Participant.
Section 17.05. Definitions.
(a) Designated Beneficiary. A "designated beneficiary" is an individual
who is designated as the Beneficiary under section 7.07 of the Plan and is the
designated beneficiary under Code section 401(a)(9) and section 1.40 l(a)(9)-1,
Q&A-4, of the Treasury regulations.
(b) Distribution Calendar Year. A "distribution calendar year" is the
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 Subsection 17.02(b). 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
-43-
which the Participant's required beginning date occurs, will be made on or
before December 31 of that distribution calendar year.
(c) Life Expectancy. "Life expectancy" is the life expectancy computed by
use of the Single Life Table in section l.401(a)(9)-9 of the Treasury
regulations.
(d) Participant's Account Balance. A Participant's Account balance is the
Account balance as of the last valuation date in the calendar year immediately
preceding the distribution calendar year (valuation calendar year) increased by
the amount of any contributions made and allocated or forfeitures allocated to
the Account balance as of dates in the valuation calendar year after the
valuation date and decreased by distributions made in the valuation calendar
year after the valuation date. The Account balance for the valuation calendar
year includes any amounts rolled over or transferred to the Plan either in the
