- 8 -

unvested). The Trustee shall vote the shares as directed by the Participant. The Trustee shall not vote shares for which it has received no directions from the Participant.

The Named Fiduciary shall continually monitor the suitability of the Trust acquiring and holding Sponsor Stock, under the fiduciary duty rules of section 404(a)(1) of ERISA (as modified by section 404(a)(2) of ERISA).

(iii) Purchases and Sales of Sponsor Stock for Batch Activity.

Unless otherwise directed by the Administrator in writing pursuant to directions that the Trustee can administratively implement, the following provisions shall govern purchases and sales of Sponsor Stock for contributions, loan repayments, distributions, loans, withdrawals, or any other

- 9 -

purchase or sale of Sponsor Stock related to a transaction that the Administrator has directed the Trustee in writing to implement on a batch basis (“batch activity”).

(A) Open Market Purchases and Sales. Purchases and sales of Sponsor Stock shall be made on the open market in accordance with the Trustee’s standard trading guidelines, as they may be amended from time to time, as necessary to honor batch activity. Such general rules shall not apply in the following circumstances:

(1) If the Trustee is unable to purchase or sell the total number of shares required to be purchased or sold on such day as a result of market conditions; or

(2) If the Trustee is prohibited by the SEC, the NYSE or principal exchange on which the Sponsor Stock is traded, or any other regulatory or judicial body from purchasing or selling any or all of the shares required to be purchased or sold on such day.

In the event of the occurrence of a circumstance described in (1) or (2) above, the Trustee shall purchase or sell such shares as soon thereafter as administratively feasible, and shall determine the price of such purchases or sales to be the average purchase or sales price of all such shares purchased or sold, respectively. The Trustee may follow written directions from the Administrator to deviate from the above purchase and sale procedures.

(iv) Purchases and Sales of Sponsor Stock for Participant-Initiated Exchanges (“Real Time” Trading)

(A) Purchases and Sales of Sponsor Stock. Purchases and sales of Sponsor Stock associated with individual Participant-initiated exchanges into or out of the Stock Fund shall be made on the open market pursuant to order types selected by the Participant in accordance with the Trustee’s procedures for “Real Time Trading.” The Administrator may instruct the Trustee to limit the order types available to Participants.

(1) Automated Order Entry. Sponsor Stock trades associated with Participant-initiated exchanges shall be sent to market as soon as administratively feasible during regular trading hours via an electronic order entry system, unless such trade is treated as a block trade. Such electronic order entry system shall be deemed an Electronic Service for purposes of Section 14 of this Agreement.

- 10 -

(2) Limitations on Trades; Cancellation of Exchange Requests. Trades rejected under rules of the applicable securities exchange will not be executed. The Trustee will not submit orders (or will cancel orders) for stock trades that violate the Trustee’s procedures for “Real Time Trading”. The Trustee shall not submit any trade order associated with a Participant-initiated exchange at any time when the Sponsor Stock Fund has been closed to such activity. Trades associated with Participant-initiated exchanges shall not be transacted at any time when the regular market is closed, or when the SEC, the NYSE or principal exchange on which the Sponsor Stock is traded, or any other regulatory or judicial body has prohibited purchases or sales of any or all of the shares requested for trade pursuant to the Participant-initiated exchange. An exchange requested by the Participant shall be rejected or cancelled, as the case may be, to the extent any accompanying trade is not submitted, not executed or cancelled.

(B) Reserve Requirements for Exchanges Into Stock Fund and Corrective Sales. The Participant’s ability to initiate exchanges into the Stock Fund shall be subject to standard reserve requirements applicable to the investment options used to fund the exchange, as established by the Trustee from time to time (or such higher reserve requirements as may be established by the Administrator in written direction to the Trustee). Requests to exchange into the Sponsor Stock Fund that exceed such reserves, and accompanying trade orders, may be rejected or cancelled. In the event that a buy trade associated with a request to exchange into Sponsor Stock is executed, and the Participant does not have sufficient assets in the designated investment option to fund the trade, the Trustee will liquidate investment options (including those held in other sources eligible for liquidation) in the affected Participant’s account pro rata. In the event that the Participant does not have sufficient assets in any other investment option, the Trustee shall initiate a corrective sale, and shall debit the costs of such corrective trade from the Participant’s account.

(C) Fractional Shares. Participants will be entitled to exchange out fractional shares in the Stock Fund only in connection with a request to exchange out the entire balance of their Stock Fund holdings (or the entire balance in a particular source, as applicable). Fractional shares will be transacted at the price determined by the stock trade order selected by the Participant.

(v) Use of an Affiliated Broker.

For all purchases and sales of Sponsor Stock on the open market, whether Participant-initiated or otherwise, the Named Fiduciary hereby directs the Trustee to use FBSLLC to provide brokerage services. Subject to the provisions of this agreement, FBSLLC shall execute such trades directly or through any of its affiliates. The provision of brokerage services shall be subject to the following:

(1) As consideration for such brokerage services, the Named Fiduciary agrees that FBSLLC shall be entitled to remuneration under this direction provision in the

- 11 -

amount of $0.034 commission on each share of Sponsor Stock. Any increase in such remuneration may be made only by written agreement between the Named Fiduciary and Trustee.

(2) Any successor organization of FBSLLC, through reorganization, consolidation, merger or similar transactions, shall, upon consummation of such transaction, become the successor broker in accordance with the terms of this direction provision. FBSLLC may assign its rights and obligations under this agreement to any affiliate, provided that the assignee is bound by the terms hereof, including the provisions concerning remuneration.

(3) The Trustee and FBSLLC shall continue to rely on this direction provision until notified to the contrary. The Named Fiduciary reserves the right to terminate this direction upon written notice to FBSLLC (or its successors or assigns) and the Trustee, in accordance with Section 11 of this Agreement.

(4) The Named Fiduciary acknowledges that FBSLLC (and its successors and assigns) may rely upon this Trust Agreement in establishing an account in the name of the Trustee for the Plan or its Participants, and in allowing each Participant to exercise limited trading authorization over such account, to the extent of his or her individual account balance in the Sponsor Stock Fund subject to Participant direction.

(vi) Securities Law Reports.

The Named Fiduciary shall be responsible for filing all reports required under Federal or state securities laws with respect to the Trust’s ownership of Sponsor Stock, including, without limitation, any reports required under section 13 or 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and shall immediately notify the Trustee in writing of any requirement to stop purchases or sales of Sponsor Stock pending the filing of any report. The Trustee shall provide to the Named Fiduciary such information on the Trust’s ownership of Sponsor Stock as the Named Fiduciary may reasonably request in order to comply with Federal or state securities laws.

(vii) Voting and Tender Offers.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, but subject to the provisions of applicable law, the provisions of this Section shall govern the voting and tendering of Sponsor Stock. The Named Fiduciary shall pay for all printing, mailing, tabulation and other costs associated with the voting and tendering of Sponsor Stock. The Trustee, after consultation with the Named Fiduciary, shall prepare the necessary documents associated with the voting and tendering of Sponsor Stock.

(A) Voting.

(1) When the issuer of Sponsor Stock prepares for any annual or special meeting, the Named Fiduciary shall notify the Trustee at least thirty (30) days in advance of the intended record date and the Trustee shall furnish the Named Fiduciary’s transfer agent the names, addresses and social security numbers of the participants holding shares in the Sponsor Stock Fund, as well as the percentage and or number of shares owned by each Participant as of the record date. The Named Fiduciary shall cause its transfer agent to distribute proxy materials and voting instruction forms to Participants holding an interest in the Sponsor Stock Fund. If requested by the Trustee the Named Fiduciary shall provide the Trustee with a copy of any materials provided to Participants and shall certify to the Trustee that the materials have been mailed or otherwise sent to Participants.

(2) Each Participant with an interest in the Sponsor Stock held in the Trust shall have the right to direct the Trustee as to the manner in which the Trustee is to vote (including not to vote) that number of shares of Sponsor Stock credited to the Participant’s accounts (both vested and unvested). Directions from a Participant to the Trustee concerning the voting of Sponsor Stock shall be communicated in writing, or by such other means as agreed upon by the Trustee and the Named Fiduciary. These directions shall be held in confidence by the Trustee and shall not be divulged to the Named Fiduciary, or any officer or employee of the Sponsor, or any other person except to the extent that the consequences of such directions are reflected in reports regularly communicated to any such person in the ordinary course of the performance of the Trustee’s services hereunder. Upon its receipt of the directions, the Trustee shall vote the shares of Sponsor Stock as directed by the Participant. Except as otherwise required by law, the Trustee shall not vote shares of Sponsor Stock credited to a Participant’s account for which it has received no directions from the Participant.

(3) Except as otherwise required by law, the Trustee shall vote that number of shares of Sponsor Stock not credited to Participants’ accounts in the same proportion on each issue as it votes those shares credited to Participants’ accounts for which it received voting directions from Participants.

(B) Tender Offers.

(1) Upon commencement of a tender offer for any securities held in the Trust that are Sponsor Stock, the Named Fiduciary shall timely notify the Trustee in advance of the intended tender date and shall cause a copy of all materials to be sent to the Trustee. The Named Fiduciary shall certify to the Trustee that the aforementioned materials represent the same information distributed to shareholders of Sponsor Stock. Based on these materials and after consultation with the Sponsor, the Trustee shall prepare a tender instruction form and shall provide a copy of all tender materials to be sent to each Participant with an interest in the Stock Fund, together with the foregoing tender instruction form, to be returned to the Trustee or its designee. The tender instruction form shall

- 13 -

show the number of full and fractional shares of Sponsor Stock credited to the Participant’s account (both vested and unvested).

(2) Each Participant with an interest in the Stock Fund shall have the right to direct the Trustee to tender or not to tender some or all of the shares of Sponsor Stock credited to the Participant’s accounts (both vested and unvested). Directions from a Participant to the Trustee concerning the tender of Sponsor Stock shall be communicated in writing, or such other means as is agreed upon by the Trustee and the Named Fiduciary. These directions shall be held in confidence by the Trustee and shall not be divulged to the Named Fiduciary, or any officer or employee of the Sponsor, or any other person except to the extent that the consequences of such directions are reflected in reports regularly communicated to any such persons in the ordinary course of the performance of the Trustee’s services hereunder. The Trustee shall tender or not tender shares of Sponsor Stock as directed by the Participant. Except as otherwise required by law, the Trustee shall not tender shares of Sponsor Stock credited to a Participant’s accounts for which it has received no directions from the Participant.

(3) Except as otherwise required by law, the Trustee shall tender that number of shares of Sponsor Stock not credited to Participants’ accounts in the same proportion as the total number of shares of Sponsor Stock credited to Participants’ accounts for which it received instructions from Participants.

(4) A Participant who has directed the Trustee to tender some or all of the shares of Sponsor Stock credited to the Participant’s accounts may, at any time prior to the tender offer withdrawal date, direct the Trustee to withdraw some or all of the tendered shares, and the Trustee shall withdraw the directed number of shares from the tender offer prior to the tender offer withdrawal deadline. Prior to the withdrawal deadline, if any shares of Sponsor Stock not credited to Participants’ accounts have been tendered, the Trustee shall redetermine the number of shares of Sponsor Stock that would be tendered under Section 5(e)(vii)(B)(3) if the date of the foregoing withdrawal were the date of determination, and withdraw from the tender offer the number of shares of Sponsor Stock not credited to Participants’ accounts necessary to reduce the amount of tendered Sponsor Stock not credited to Participants’ accounts to the amount so redetermined. A Participant shall not be limited as to the number of directions to tender or withdraw that the Participant may give to the Trustee.

(5) A direction by a Participant to the Trustee to tender shares of Sponsor Stock credited to the Participant’s accounts shall not be considered a written election under the Plan by the Participant to withdraw, or have distributed, any or all of his withdrawable shares. The Trustee shall credit to each account of the Participant from which the tendered shares were taken the proceeds received by the Trustee in exchange for the shares of Sponsor Stock tendered from that account. Pending receipt of directions (through the Administrator) from the Participant or the Named Fiduciary, as provided in the Plan, as to which of the

remaining investment options the proceeds should be invested in, the Trustee shall invest the proceeds in the investment option described in Schedule “C”.

All provisions in this Section 5(e) shall also apply to any securities received as a result of a conversion of Sponsor Stock.

(i) In General.

The Administrator shall act as the Trustee’s agent with regard to “general purpose” loans and as such shall (i) separately account for repayments of such loans and clearly identify such assets as Plan assets and (ii) collect and remit all principal and interest payments to the Trustee.

Such directions shall be made by Participants by use of the system maintained for such purpose by the Trustee or its agent. The Trustee shall determine, based on the current value of the Participant’s account on the date of the request and any guidelines provided by the Named Fiduciary, the amount available for the loan. Based on the interest rate supplied by the Named Fiduciary in accordance with the terms of the Plan, the Trustee shall advise the Participant of such interest rate, as well as the installment payment amounts. The Trustee shall distribute the loan agreement and truth-in-lending disclosure with the proceeds check to the Participant. To facilitate recordkeeping, the Trustee may destroy the original of any proceeds check (including the promissory note) made in connection with a loan to a Participant under the Plan, provided that the Trustee or its agent first creates a duplicate by a photographic or optical scanning or other process yielding a reasonable facsimile of the proceeds check (including the promissory note) and the Participant’s signature thereon, which duplicate may be reduced or enlarged in size from the actual size of the original.

The Trustee shall not exercise such rights in the absence of direction from the Participant.

(h) Collective Investment Funds Managed by the Trustee.

To the extent that the Named Fiduciary selects as an investment option the Managed Income Portfolio II of the Group Trust, the Named Fiduciary hereby (A) acknowledges that it has received from the Trustee a copy of the Group Trust, the Participation Agreement and the Declaration of Separate Fund for the Managed Income Portfolio II, and (B) adopts the terms of the Group Trust, the Participation Agreement and the Declaration of Separate Fund as part of this Agreement.

Section 7. Compensation and Expenses.

Fees for services are specifically outlined in Schedule “B” and are based on all of the assumptions identified therein. The Trustee shall maintain its fees for three years; provided, however, in the event that the Plan characteristics referenced in the assumptions outlined in Schedule “B” change significantly (which shall be defined as plus or minus 10%) by either falling below or exceeding current or projected levels, such fees may be subject to revision. To reflect increased operating costs, Trustee may once each calendar year, but not prior to November 5, 2005, amend Schedule “B” without the Sponsor’s consent upon ninety (90) days prior notice to the Sponsor.

SCHEDULE “G” – Exchange Guidelines

The following exchange guidelines are currently employed by FIIOC. Participants may initiate exchanges, via a Fidelity Participant service representative, from 8:30 a.m. (ET) to 8:00 p.m. in the Participant’s time zone in the continental United States on each Business Day. Participants may initiate exchanges, subject to the rules listed below for the Stock Fund, via VRS and the internet (NetBenefits^SM), virtually 24 hours a day.

FIIOC reserves the right to change these exchange guidelines at its discretion, provided the guidelines for Sponsor shall be no less favorable to Sponsor than the guidelines applicable to similarly situated customers of the Trustee.

Note: The NYSE’s normal closing time is 4:00 p.m. (ET); in the event the NYSE closes before such time or alters such closing time, all references below to 4:00 p.m. (ET) shall mean the actual or altered closing time of the NYSE.

Exchanges shall be subject to plan rules, and the exchange guidelines provided below shall apply to sources and funds to the extent eligible for Participant-directed purchases and/or sales.

Investment Options

Exchanges Between Investment Options

Participants may call on any business day to exchange between the investment options. If the request is confirmed before 4:00 p.m. (ET), it will receive that day’s trade date. Requests confirmed after 4:00 p.m. (ET) will be processed on a next Business Day basis.

Exchange Restrictions

Participants will not be permitted to make direct transfers between the Fidelity Managed Income Portfolio II and a competing fund, as indicated in the Plan Administrative Manual. Participants who wish to exchange between the Fidelity Managed Income Portfolio II and a competing fund must first exchange into a non-competing fund for a period of 90 days.

Sponsor Stock (Real Time Trading)

The following rules apply to any Participant-initiated exchange unless the Sponsor has directed the Trustee in writing to treat such exchanges as batch activity.

I.	Exchanges from Mutual Funds or Fidelity Managed Income Portfolio II into Sponsor Stock

Participants who wish to initiate an exchange may contact Fidelity at any time listed above. Exchanges from a mutual fund into Sponsor Stock will be processed after execution of the buy trade, at the next calculated NAV of the Mutual Fund.

Sponsor Stock will be reflected in the Participant’s individual account in the Plan on the Business Day following execution of the trade.

II.

Exchanges from Sponsor Stock into Mutual Funds or Fidelity Managed Income Portfolio II

Participants who wish to initiate an exchange out of Sponsor Stock into Mutual Funds or Fidelity Managed Income Portfolio II may contact Fidelity at any time listed above.

Exchanges out of Sponsor Stock will be processed after execution of the sell trade. The subsequent exchange into the Mutual Fund or Fidelity Managed Income Portfolio II will be processed upon settlement day of the sell trade, at the last calculated NAV for such date. The Mutual Fund or Fidelity Managed Income Portfolio II shares will be reflected in the Participant’s account on the following Business Day.

- 40 -

III.

Exchange Restrictions

All exchange requests involving Sponsor Stock must be made in shares of stock, even if the Plan allows for percentage and dollar amount exchanges. If a Participant wishes to exchange out his or her entire balance in Sponsor Stock (or, if applicable, his or her entire balance in Sponsor Stock in a single source), the associated trade must be placed in whole shares, and fractional shares will be processed at the price determined by the sponsor-directed trade. Exchange requests accompanied by certain order types may not be accepted outside of normal trading hours. Trade requests accompanying exchange requests that do not adhere to the Trustee’s standard guidelines, or that would violate securities exchange rules, may result in rejection or cancellation of the associated exchange request.

Exchanges from one stock fund to another, or from a Participant-directed brokerage account to Sponsor Stock are not permitted.

Exchanges into Sponsor Stock shall be subject to minimum reserves on the investment option used to fund the exchange, as established by the Trustee from time to time (or such higher reserves as the Sponsor directs in writing). Exchanges in excess of the minimum reserve are prohibited.

BrokerageLink Option

I.	Exchanges from Investment Options (Standard Plan Option) into BrokerageLink Option

Participants may call on any Business Day to exchange out of the investment options into a BrokerageLink Account. Participants may initiate an exchange into BrokerageLink by speaking to a Participant services representative, via VRS and the internet (“NetBenefits”). If the request is confirmed before 4:00 p.m. (ET), the SPO investment option redemption will receive that day’s trade date. The purchase into the BrokerageLink Option Core Account will receive the next business day’s trade date. Requests confirmed after 4:00 p.m. (ET) will be processed on a next business day basis.

Although there is a one day lag in the trade date of the purchase into the BrokerageLink Option Core Account, Participants can trade in their BrokerageLink account prior to the actual exchanged assets being credited to the BrokerageLink Option Core Account, if the Participant initiates the exchange via a Participant services representative. Participants who initiate an exchange will have 90% of the assets immediately available to trade through a brokerage representative. The next Business Day 100% of the exchanged amount will be available for trading through a brokerage representative, FAST or the world wide web (Xxxxxxxx.xxx).

II.	Exchanges from BrokerageLink Option into Investment Options (Standard Plan Option)

Each Plan must designate a SPO Option as the default fund to which all exchanged assets from BrokerageLink to SPO are credited. Participants will have no choice as to where these assets are invested upon transfer from the FBSLLC system. If a Participant wants to reallocate to other investment options, he/she must call after they have been credited to Fidelity’s Participant Recordkeeping System (“FPRS”).

A Participant may call on any Business Day to transfer from their BrokerageLink account to their SPO default fund. Participants must speak to a brokerage representative to exchange from their BrokerageLink account into the SPO. The transfer will involve a redemption from the BrokerageLink Core Account. If the request is confirmed before 4:00 p.m. (ET), the BrokerageLink Core Account redemption will receive that day’s trade date. The purchase into the SPO default fund will receive that day’s trade date. Requests confirmed after 4:00 p.m. (ET) will be processed on a next business day basis.

Most trades within the BrokerageLink account require a three (3) business day settlement period. When placing the sell order in his/her BrokerageLink account, the Participant may not request

- 41 -

that upon settlement of the sell, assets be transferred from BrokerageLink to the SPO default fund. The Participant must call back after each settlement to transfer funds from Fidelity Cash Reserves into the SPO default fund.

SCHEDULE “J” – BrokerageLink Administrative Procedures

This Schedule spells out the actions that FIIOC or its successor will take to rectify various situations that might arise in BrokerageLink accounts as an option in the Plan(s). By signing this Schedule, the Plan agrees to the terms of this Schedule as standing instructions for FIIOC to take the appropriate action to comply with the Trust document and to facilitate customer service and operations processing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee shall be subject to the indemnification provisions set forth in Section 8 of this Agreement.

General

As necessary, FIIOC will initiate a transaction in the Participant’s BrokerageLink core account to rectify a situation, as set forth below, in the SPO. FIIOC will initiate a sell trade in the Participant’s BrokerageLink security position, if the terms of the Trust agreement have been violated. In the case where FIIOC initiates a sell trade to collect account fees FIIOC will look to the BrokerageLink Option Core account. In problem resolution situations that are not violations of the Trust agreement, then FIIOC will look to the Sponsor for direction with regard to the Participant’s BrokerageLink account. The Participant will be notified of these transactions by a confirmation.

All purchases or sales of individual securities must be made by FBSLLC.

Participants must complete and submit a BrokerageLink application prior to the transfer of any funds into BrokerageLink (excluding existing brokerage assets transferred from the prior trustee).

Unsecured debit or overdraft

If there is an unsecured debit or overdraft, then FIIOC will place a sell trade order(s) in the Participant’s BrokerageLink account to raise enough cash to cover the unsecured debit or overdraft. The securities that will be sold will be selected on a last in—first out basis. Only enough shares of the security(ies) will be sold to cover the unsecured debit or overdraft. Any trade related expenses (commissions, other fees) and realized gain or loss will be borne by the Participant. The Participant will be notified of these transactions by a confirmation.

Restricted sources

A Plan may restrict sources from being transferred to BrokerageLink. If FIIOC identifies any restricted source assets that have been transferred to BrokerageLink, then FIIOC will take action to return the original transferred amount related to the restricted source(s) to SPO.

If there are enough assets in the Participant’s BrokerageLink core account, then FIIOC will initiate a trade order to transfer the assets from the core account to SPO. The assets will be credited to the SPO default fund. The Participant will be notified of these transactions by a confirmation.

If there are not enough assets, FIIOC will place a sell trade order(s) in the Participant’s BrokerageLink account to raise enough cash to cover the restricted source assets. The securities that will be sold will be selected on a last in—first out basis. Only enough shares of the security(ies) will be sold to cover the restricted source assets. Any trade related expenses (commissions, other fees) and realized gain or loss will be borne by the Participant. The assets will be returned to the SPO default fund. The Participant will be notified of these transactions by a confirmation.

Non-vested assets

A Plan may restrict non-vested assets from being transferred to BrokerageLink. If FIIOC identifies any non-vested assets that have been transferred to BrokerageLink, then FIIOC will take action to return the original transferred amount related to the non-vested assets to SPO.

If there are not enough assets, FIIOC will place a sell trade order in the Participant’s BrokerageLink account to raise enough liquid assets to cover the non-vested assets. The securities that will be sold will be selected on a last in—first out basis. Only enough shares of the security(ies) will be sold to cover the non-vested assets. Any trade related expenses (commissions, other fees) and realized gain or loss will be borne by the Participant. The assets will be returned to the SPO default fund. The Participant will be notified of these transactions by a confirmation.

Restricted or ineligible securities

The Plan has designated that certain securities or security types be restricted from being purchased by Participants. If FIIOC identifies a restricted security that has been purchased by a Participant, then FIIOC will place a sell trade order in the Participant’s BrokerageLink account to remove that security from the Plan. Any trade related expenses (commissions, other fees) and realized gain or loss will be borne by the Participant. The liquidated assets will be credited to the BrokerageLink core account. The Participant will be notified of these transactions by a confirmation.

Unauthorized channel deposits

Participants may deposit money into their BrokerageLink account only through the SPO recordkeeping system. A Participant may not deposit money to the BrokerageLink account by any other means than payroll deduction to the SPO. Money that is deposited to the BrokerageLink account in any other way is considered to be an unauthorized channel.

If money is deposited to a BrokerageLink account via an unauthorized channel, then FIIOC will initiate the removal of that money. If there are enough assets in the Participant’s BrokerageLink Core Account, then FIIOC will request that a check be cut in the amount of the original deposit. The check will be mailed to the Participant.

If there are not enough assets in the Participant’s BrokerageLink core account, then FIIOC will place a sell trade order(s) in the Participant’s BrokerageLink account to raise enough liquid assets to cover the unauthorized channel deposit. The securities that will be sold will be selected on a last in—first out basis. Only enough shares of the security(ies) will be sold to cover the unauthorized channel deposit. Any trade related expenses (commissions, other fees) and realized gain or loss will be borne by the Participant. Once the sell transactions have settled, FIIOC will request that a check be cut for the original amount. The check will be mailed to the Participant.

Unauthorized channel withdrawals

Participants may withdraw money from their BrokerageLink account only through the SPO recordkeeping system (FPRS). A Participant may not withdraw money from the BrokerageLink account by any other means than by speaking to a Fidelity phone representative. Money that is withdrawn from the BrokerageLink account in any other way is considered to be an unauthorized channel.

- 47 -

If money is withdrawn through an unauthorized channel, FIIOC will contact the Participant and request that the withdrawn assets be returned to FIIOC. FIIOC will redeposit the assets in the Participant’s BrokerageLink account.

Non-discrimination testing

If a distribution of excess contribution needs to be made from a Participant’s retirement savings account due to discrimination testing reasons, FIIOC will first look to SPO for available assets. If there are not enough assets in SPO, then FIIOC will look to the BrokerageLink account.

If there are ample assets in the Participant’s BrokerageLink core account, then FIIOC will initiate the transfer of the assets to the SPO default fund. The distribution of excess contributions will then be made from SPO according to the appropriate hierarchy.

Qualified Domestic Relation Orders (QDRO’s)

FIIOC will comply with the terms of all QDRO’s. If a BrokerageLink account is involved in a QDRO situation, then FIIOC will take direction from the Sponsor as to the actions to be taken with regards to potentially splitting the BrokerageLink account.

Deaths

FIIOC will comply with the terms of the applicable legal documents in the event of a Participant death. In the event a deceased Participant has a BrokerageLink account, then FIIOC will take direction from the Sponsor as to the action to be taken with regards to any potential activity in the BrokerageLink account.

Systematic Withdrawal Payments/Minimum Required Distributions

All withdrawals, systematic or otherwise, are debited from the Participant’s SPO. If a Participant wants their balances in BrokerageLink included in the withdrawal they must move all balances out of brokerage and into the SPO.

Fees

All Plan related fees that are paid by the Participant are debited from the Participant’s SPO. If there are not enough assets in SPO to pay fees of any nature, then FIIOC will look to the BrokerageLink account.

If there are ample assets in the Participant’s BrokerageLink core account, then FIIOC will initiate the transfer of the fee plus 10%, to cover market value fluctuations, to the SPO default fund to cover the current fees.
