CLUBCORP EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN

ARTICLE 1. - PURPOSE AND AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN

1.01 Amendment of the Plan. Brookhaven Country Club, Inc. adopted and established a profit sharing plan known as the Profit Sharing Plan and Trust of Brookhaven Club, Inc. effective as of January 1, 1968, which was thereafter, amended, restated, and renamed into the CCA Associate Clubs Profit Sharing Plan effective January 1, 1976 (the “CCA Plan”). Subsequent thereto, the CCA Plan was amended from time to time. Sponsorship of the CCA Plan was transferred to Club Corporation International (now known as ClubCorp, Inc.) (the “Company”) effective February 1, 1992. Effective as of January 1, 1993, the Company amended and restated the CCA Plan in its entirety as the “ClubCorp Stock Investment Plan (the “SIP”).” The SIP was last amended and restated effective generally as of January 1, 1997. The SIP was again amended and restated into an employee stock ownership plan effective generally as of January 1, 1999, to be known as the ClubCorp Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“Prior Plan”). The Prior Plan was amended and restated in its entirety effective January 1, 2001 (“Restated Plan”) to bring the Prior Plan into compliance with the requirements of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (“GATT”) portion of the Uruguay Round Agreements Act of 1994, the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Right Act of 1994 (“USERRA”), the Small Business Job Protection Act of 1996 (“SBJPA”), the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997 (“TRA >97”) the Internal Revenue Service Restructuring and Reform Act of 1998 (“1998 Act”) and the Community Renewal Tax Relief Act of 2000 (“2000 Act”). The Restated Plan has since been amended eight times. The Restated Plan is hereby again amended and restated in its entirety effective July 1, 2003 (“Plan”).

1.02 Purpose. The purposes of the Plan are: to provide retirement benefits to Participants and their Beneficiaries; to encourage Eligible Employees to save for retirement; to provide Participants the opportunity to share in the value of the Company, and to enhance employee ownership of the Company.

It is the intention of the Employers that the Plan as amended and restated herein shall meet all of the requirements necessary or appropriate to qualify it as an employee stock ownership plan under Code sections 401(a) and 4975(e) and that the Trust made a part hereof shall continue to be exempt from tax under Code section 501(a) and that the Plan satisfy applicable requirements of ERISA, and all provisions hereof shall be interpreted accordingly.

The Plan is intended: (i) to qualify as an eligible individual account plan under ERISA; and (ii) to provide participants with the benefits reflecting the risks and rewards of equity ownership and not to provide a fixed retirement benefit.

1.03 Trust Agreement. In furtherance of this Plan, the Company has entered into the ClubCorp Employee Stock Ownership Trust Agreement effective as of January 1, 1999, which is made a part hereof, for the purpose of maintaining the Trust to fund the benefits of this Plan as hereinafter set forth.

2.14 “Date of Employment” or “Date of Reemployment” means the day on which an Employee first commences employment or reemployment following a Termination of Employment, as the case may be, with any Affiliated Company by performing an Hour of Service.

2.21 “Employee” means any person who is employed by one or more Affiliated Companies, and whose remuneration from an Affiliated Company is subject to FICA withholding; provided, however, that a person employed by ClubCorp International Resource Company who is a

2.29 “Hour of Service” means the following:

2.29(1) Performance of Duties. Each hour for which an Employee is directly or indirectly paid, or entitled to payment by an Affiliated Company for the performance of duties. Each such Hour of Service shall be credited to the Employment Period (as defined in Section 2.19) or the Plan Year, as the case may be, in which the duties were performed. For purposes of this Section, the applicable Employment Period or Plan Year, as the context requires, shall be referred to as the “Computation Period. “

2.29(2) Back Pay. Each hour for which back pay (irrespective of mitigation of damages) has been either awarded or agreed to by an Affiliated Company. Each such Hour of Service shall be credited to the Computation Period to which the agreement or award for back pay pertains, rather than to the Computation Period in which the award, agreement, or payment is made. If back pay is either awarded or agreed to for a period of time during which no duties are performed, the provisions of Subsections 2.29(3)(a) through (c) shall apply to the calculation and crediting of Hours of Service for such period of time.

2.29(3) Non-Working Time. Each hour for which an Employee is directly or indirectly paid, or entitled to payment, by an Affiliated Company for reasons other than the performance of duties (irrespective of whether the employment relationship with such Affiliated Company has terminated) (such as vacations, holidays, illness, disability, layoff, jury duty, military duty, compensated Leave of Absence, or similar periods). Each such Hour of Service shall be calculated and credited on the following basis:

(a) Units of Time. If payments for reasons other than the performance of duties are calculated on the basis of units of time, such as hours, days, weeks, or months, the number of Hours of Service to be credited shall be the number of regularly scheduled working hours included in the units of time on the basis of which the payments are calculated. In the case of an Employee without a regular work schedule, such Employee shall be credited with Hours of Service on the basis of the equivalency schedule set forth in Subsection 2.29(8). Each such Hour of Service shall be credited to the Computation Period in which the period during which no duties are performed occurs, beginning with the first unit of time to which the payment relates.

(b) No Units of Time. If payments for reasons other than the performance of duties are not calculated on the basis of units of time (such as lump sum disability payments for an injury), the number of Hours of Service to be credited shall be equal to the amount of the payment divided by the Employee’s most recent hourly rate of compensation before the period during which no duties are performed.

(i) In the case of an Employee whose compensation is determined on the basis of a fixed rate for specified periods of time (other than hours), such as days, weeks, or months, such Employee’s hourly rate of compensation shall be such Employee’s most recent rate of compensation for a specified period of time (other than hours), divided by the number of hours regularly scheduled for the performance of duties during such period. In the case of an Employee without a regular work schedule, such Employee’s rate of compensation shall be calculated on the basis of the schedule of equivalent hours set forth in Subsection 2.29(8).

(ii) In the case of an Employee whose compensation is not determined on the basis of an hourly rate or on the basis of a fixed rate for specified periods of time, such Employee’s hourly rate of compensation shall be the lowest hourly wage paid to employees in the same job classification as that of such Employee or, if no employees in the same classification have an hourly rate of compensation, the minimum wage as established from time to time under Section 6(a)(1) of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, as amended.

Each such Hour of Service shall be credited to the Computation Period in which the period during which no duties are performed occurs, except that if such period extends beyond one of such Computation Periods, such Hours of Service shall be allocated by the Plan Administrator, in its sole

discretion, between not more than the first two of such Computation Periods on a reasonable basis which is consistently applied with respect to all Employees within the same job classification, reasonably defined.

(i) An Employee shall not be credited on account of a period during which no duties are performed with a number of Hours of Service which is greater than the number of hours regularly scheduled for the performance of duties during such period.

(ii) In no event shall the number of Hours of Service attributable to a single continuous period (whether or not such period involves more than one Computation Period) for which no duties are performed exceed five hundred one (501) Hours of Service.

(iii) Hours of Service shall not be credited to a period for which payments are made to an Employee where those payments solely reimburse such Employee for medical or medically related expenses incurred by such Employee.

(iv) Hours of Service shall not be credited for a period to which payments pertain if such payments are made or due under a plan maintained solely for the purpose of complying with applicable worker’s compensation, unemployment compensation, or disability insurance laws.

2.29(4) No Duplication of Credit. An Employee shall not be credited with Hours of Service under both (i) Subsection 2.29(1) or 2.29(3), as the case may be, and (ii) Subsection 2.29(2).

2.29(5) Overlapping Payroll Periods. In the case of Hours of Service to be credited to an Employee for a period of no more than thirty-one (31) days which overlaps two (2) Computation Periods, all such Hours of Service shall be credited to either the first or the second of such Computation Periods as the Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion, may determine on a consistent basis with respect to all Employees within the same job classification, reasonably defined.

2.29(6) Maternity or Paternity Absences. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section to the contrary, solely for purposes of determining whether an Employee has a One-Year Break in Service, Hours of Service shall include hours during which an Employee is absent from work for any period: (i) by reason of (a) the Employee’s pregnancy, (b) the birth of the Employee’s child, (c) the placement of a child with the Employee in connection with the adoption of such child by the Employee, or (ii) for the purpose of caring for such child for a period beginning immediately following such birth or placement. Hours of Service shall be credited for purposes of this Subsection to the Plan Year in which the absence from work begins, provided crediting of such Hours of Service in such Plan Year would prevent the Participant from incurring a One-Year Break in Service in such Plan Year solely because of the crediting of such Hours in such Plan Year. In any other case, Hours of Service shall be credited for purposes of this Subsection to the immediately following Plan Year. The Hours of Service credited for purposes of this Subsection shall be those hours which otherwise normally would have been credited but for such absence or, in any case in which the Plan Administrator is unable to determine the hours normally credited, Hours of Service shall be calculated on the basis of the schedule of equivalent hours set forth in Subsection 2.29(8). The total number of Hours of Service required to be credited for any absence described in this

Subsection shall not exceed five hundred one (501). Notwithstanding the provisions of this Subsection, no Hours of Service credit shall be given pursuant to this Subsection unless the Employee furnishes the Plan Administrator with such information as the Plan Administrator shall require to establish: (i) that the absence from work was for the reasons referred to herein, and (ii) the number of days for which there was such an absence.

If the Employee does not return to the active employment of such Employer at or prior to the expiration of his Leave of Absence, his employment will be considered terminated as of the date on which his leave expires. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, absence from the active service of the Employer because of military service will be considered a Leave of Absence granted by an Employer and will not terminate the employment of an Employee if he returns to the active employment of an Employer within the period of time during which he has reemployment rights under any applicable federal law or within sixty (60) days from and after discharge or separation from such military service if no federal law is applicable.

ARTICLE 3. - REQUIREMENTS FOR ELIGIBILITY AND PARTICIPATION

3.01 Eligibility. Any Eligible Employee who met the eligibility requirements under the Plan, as it existed prior to its amendment and restatement, shall be eligible to participate in the Plan as of January 1, 2001. Each other Eligible Employee shall be eligible to participate as of the Entry Date coinciding with or next following the date upon which such Eligible Employee completes six (6) months of continuous service, provided he is an Eligible Employee on such Entry Date. In the event an Eligible Employee has a Termination of Employment prior to completing six (6) months of continuous service, the Eligible Employee may participate as of the first Entry Date following completion of six (6) months of continuous service. In the event an Eligible Employee has a Termination of Employment after completing six (6) months of continuous service but prior to the Entry Date upon which such Eligible Employee would have been eligible to participate in the Plan, and such Eligible Employee is reemployed by an Employer after the Entry Date upon which the Eligible Employee would have participated in the Plan, such Eligible Employee will be eligible to participate as of the Entry Date which next follows his Date of Reemployment, provided he is an Eligible Employee on such date. In the event a Participant has a Termination of Employment and is reemployed by an Employer, he will automatically be reinstated as a Participant as of the Entry Date which next follows his Date of Reemployment, provided he is an Eligible Employee on such date. For purposes of the determination of the fulfillment of an Eligible Employee’s initial six (6) months of continuous service eligibility requirement, an Eligible Employee, upon employment by an Employer, shall receive credit for service with any club which is not an Affiliated Company but which is a club managed by the Company or a club which the Company manages or owns pursuant to a joint venture with another entity, but only for service while such club is managed or partially owned.

3.02 Employment with a Predecessor Employer. If the Plan had previously been maintained by a predecessor of an Employer, whether a corporation, partnership, sole proprietorship, or other business entity, any period of employment with such predecessor shall be treated as a period of employment with an Employer. If the Plan had not been previously maintained by a predecessor of an Employer, employment with such predecessor shall not be taken into account, except to the extent required pursuant to regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury or his delegate.

3.03 Change in Status of Eligible Employee.

3.03(1) In the event an Employee who is not an Eligible Employee becomes an Eligible Employee, such individual shall be eligible to participate in the Plan as of the next following Entry Date, provided he is an Eligible Employee on such date and he has met the other requirements for eligibility set forth in Section 3.01.

3.03(2) In the event a Participant, who ceased to be an Eligible Employee but who did not terminate his employment with any Affiliated Company, subsequently becomes an Eligible Employee again, such Eligible Employee will be reinstated as a Participant as of the date he again becomes an Eligible Employee as of the next following Entry Date, provided he is an Eligible Employee on such date.

3.04 Participation in the Plan. Each Eligible Employee must, in order to elect Pre-Tax Contributions and become a Participant, file an election pursuant to Section 4.04, with the Plan Administrator within the Election Period prior to the Entry Date as of which such Eligible Employee is to become a Participant. If an Eligible Employee fails to file such an election for the first Entry Date on which he is eligible to participate, he may elect to begin participation in the Plan as of any subsequent January 1 or July 1 by filing such an election during the applicable Election Period, subject to the eligibility requirements of Sections 3.01, 3.02, and 3.03. Each Eligible Employee shall be provided with such information as is required by ERISA within the time prescribed for providing such information. In addition, each Participant shall be provided with a designation of Beneficiary form which shall provide for a designation of one or more Beneficiaries to receive benefits in the event of the Participant’s death.

ARTICLE 4. - CONTRIBUTIONS

4.01 Employer Contributions. Subject to Section 4.07 and Sections 5.06 through 5.08, each Employer’s Contribution shall consist of (i) a Matching Contribution attributable to its Employees, (ii) a Discretionary Contribution in such amount as the Board in its sole discretion may authorize for those Participants who are employed by an Employer on the last day of the Plan Year, (iii) any contribution required pursuant to Subsection 10.05(2), and (iv) any Qualified Nonelective Contribution made to satisfy the ACP test. In no event, however, shall total Employer Contributions exceed the maximum deductible contribution under Code section 404(a), including any amount which may be deductible by the Employer under the carryover provisions of the Code. All Employer Contributions shall be made in the form of cash or shares of Company Stock, as determined in the sole discretion of the Board. Notwithstanding the preceding, Employees who are employed by Operations Company for Homestead, Inc. shall not be eligible to receive a Matching Contribution or a Discretionary Contribution under this Plan during any Plan Year in which such Employees are eligible to participate in The Homestead Retirement Plan at any time during such Plan Year.

4.02 Matching Contributions. Subject to Section 4.07 and 5.06 through 5.08, the Employer shall contribute to the Trust Fund an amount equal to twenty percent (20%) of each Participant’s Pre-Tax Contributions (to the extent not previously withdrawn) made during the calendar quarter, provided that such Participant is shown as an Employee on the payroll records of the Employer on the last day of such calendar quarter, which shall be allocated (i) if in cash, to the Other Investments Account of the Employer Contribution Account; and (ii) if in Company Stock, to the Company Stock Account of the Employer Contribution Account of the Participant whose Pre-Tax Contributions were so matched.

4.03 Date of Payment of Matching Contributions, Discretionary Contributions and Pre-Tax Contributions. Matching Contributions shall be paid to the Trust on a quarterly basis. Discretionary Contributions, if any, shall be paid to the Trust for a Plan Year on or before the last date, including any extensions thereof, for filing its federal income tax return for its fiscal year ending with, or after the last day of such Plan Year and shall be deemed made as of the last day of the Plan Year for which they are made. An Employer shall make all Pre-Tax Contributions as provided in Section 4.04 hereof to the Trust Fund as soon as administratively practical following the close of the payroll period for which the Participant’s elections are applicable.

4.04 Pre-Tax Contributions; Change of Election.

4.04(1) Subject to the provisions of Section 4.05, a Participant may elect:

(a) To receive his entire Compensation in cash; or

(b) To defer a portion of his Compensation, as a Pre-Tax Contribution, in specified whole percentages, that is not less than one percent (1%) or more than six percent (6%) of his Compensation for each payroll period. The Pre-Tax Contributions shall not exceed $10,000 (ten thousand dollars) (or such greater amount allowed pursuant to cost of living adjustments prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury) during a calendar year. The amount deferred as Pre-Tax Contributions shall be allocated: (i) if in cash, to the Other Investments Account of the Pre-Tax

Contribution Account; and (ii) if in Company Stock, to the Company Stock Account of the Pre-Tax Contribution Account. A Participant’s Pre-Tax Contributions shall, at all times and for all purposes be fully vested and nonforfeitable.

No Participant shall be permitted to have Pre-Tax Contributions made under this Plan, or any other qualified plan maintained by the Employer during any taxable year, in excess of the dollar limitation contained in section 402(g) of the Code in effect for such taxable year, except to the extent permitted under Section 414(v) of the Code, if applicable.

(c) Any amount a Participant elects to defer under this Subsection 4.04(1) shall be contributed by his Employer to the Trust as a Pre-Tax Contribution and allocated to the Pre-Tax Contribution Account. The dollar limitation in this Section shall be decreased by any salary deferrals under Code section 401(k) made by a Participant under any related plan, to the extent that any Excess Deferrals are allocated to this Plan pursuant to Section 4.06.

(d) Notwithstanding the preceding, in no event may a Participant defer an amount as a Pre-Tax Contribution which is in excess of the actual amount payable to such Participant from the Employer for such payroll period as is entered on the Participant’s paycheck for such payroll period.

4.04(2) Each Employee who becomes eligible or who at a given time is about to become eligible to participate in the Plan shall elect at such time and in such form as the Plan Administrator shall in its sole and absolute discretion determine, to defer the receipt of a portion of his Compensation or to receive his entire Compensation in cash, in accordance with Subsection 4.04(1). The Plan Administrator shall establish and communicate to Employees uniform and nondiscriminatory procedures for the election of percentage rates of Pre-Tax Contributions, including procedures regarding the effective date of such election, and may change said procedures at such times and in such manner as the Plan Administrator may determine to be necessary or desirable. Any such change in procedures shall be communicated to Employees.

A Participant who has previously elected to defer the receipt of a portion of his Compensation pursuant to this Section 4.04 may at any time elect, in such form as prescribed by the Plan Administrator, to change the amount of the deferral of his Compensation or to begin receiving his entire Compensation in cash, and such election shall not become effective until after received by the Plan Administrator in the form prescribed by the Plan Administrator.

4.05 Limitation on Pre-Tax Contributions for Highly Compensated Employees. Each Plan Year, the Plan shall satisfy the nondiscrimination tests in Code section 401(k)(3).

4.05(1) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4.04, the Actual Deferral Percentage (or “ADP”) for the Highly Compensated Employees with respect to any Plan Year shall not exceed the greater of (a) or (b):

(a) The Actual Deferral Percentage for the Non-Highly Compensated Employees multiplied by 1.25, or

(b) The Actual Deferral Percentage for the Non-Highly Compensated Employees multiplied by 2.0; provided, however, that the Actual Deferral Percentage for the Highly Compensated Employees may not exceed the Actual Deferral Percentage for the Non-Highly Compensated Employees by more than two (2) percentage points.

4.05(2) [Reserved]

4.05(3) If at any time during a Plan Year, the Actual Deferral Percentage for the Highly Compensated Employees exceeds or is reasonably expected by the Plan Administrator to exceed the amounts allowed under Subsections 4.05(1), the Plan Administrator, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall, as often as it elects, do one or more of the following, provided, however, that if this Plan is aggregated with one or more plans in accordance with Code sections 401(a)(4), 410(b) or 401(k), such Highly Compensated Employee shall have the right (in accordance with procedures established by the Plan Administrator) to direct the Plan Administrator with respect to whether correction of such excess (or expected excess) will occur under this Subsection 4.05(3) or under the applicable provisions of the other aggregated plans:

(a) Prospectively and in the same proportion reduce the amount of Compensation to be deferred pursuant to Subsections 4.04(1) by each Highly Compensated Employee who has elected pursuant to Subsections 4.04(1) to defer a portion of his Compensation until the Actual Deferral Percentage for Highly Compensated Employees equals (by rounding up) for the Plan Year the greater of (a) or (b) of Subsection 4.05(1).

(b) (i) Refund the portion of each Highly Compensated Employee’s Pre-Tax Contribution that constitutes a portion of the Excess Contribution for the Plan Year, plus earnings (or less losses) on such amount for the Plan Year until the Actual Deferral Percentage for the Highly Compensated Employees equals (by rounding up) the greater of (a) or (b) of Subsection 4.05(1) with all refunds to be charged: (A) first against the Other Investments Account of the Participant’s Pre-Tax Contribution Account for the calendar year that includes the first day of the Plan Year; (B) secondly against the Company Stock Account of the Participant’s Pre-Tax Contribution Account for the calendar year that includes the first day of the Plan Year, and then, to the extent necessary; (C) thirdly against the Other Investment Account of the Participant’s Pre-Tax Contribution Account for the calendar year that includes the last day of the Plan Year; and (D) then finally against the Company Stock Account of the Participant’s Pre-Tax Contribution Account for the calendar year that includes the last day of the Plan Year. All such refunds shall be distributed by the Trustee to the Employee within two and one-half months after the close of the Plan Year in which the Excess Contribution arose, if administratively possible, and within twelve (12) months after the close of such Plan Year at the latest.

(ii) Excess Contributions are calculated by determining the dollar value of the aggregate of the reductions in the Actual Deferral Ratios for each Highly Compensated Employee that would otherwise be necessary to meet the limitations of Subsection 4.05(1). In calculating these Excess Contributions, the following leveling method shall be used. The Actual Deferral Ratio of the Highly Compensated Employee with the highest Actual Deferral Ratio is reduced to the extent required to (i) enable the Plan to satisfy the limitations of Subsection 4.05(1), or (ii) cause such Highly Compensated Employee’s Actual Deferral Ratio to equal the Actual Deferral Ratio of the Highly Compensated Employee with the next highest Actual Deferral Ratio, whichever occurs first. This process must be repeated (taking into consideration previous reductions under this method) until the limitations of Subsection 4.05(1) is met. The dollar value of the reductions in the Actual Deferral Ratio for each Highly Compensated Employee (rounded to the nearest one cent ($.01)) are then calculated and added together to arrive at the Excess Contributions.

(iii) The amount of Excess Contributions to be distributed to individual Highly Compensated Employees is determined by applying Excess Contributions to reduce the dollar amount of Pre-Tax Contributions elected by Highly Compensated Employees. In distributing Excess Contributions, the following leveling method shall be used. The Pre-Tax Contributions of the Highly Compensated Employee with the highest dollar amount of Pre-Tax Contributions are reduced to the extent required (i) for the reduction, when added to all previous reductions under this method, to equal the Excess Contributions, or (ii) to cause the dollar value of such Highly Compensated Employee’s Pre-Tax Contributions to equal the dollar value of the Highly Compensated Employee with the next highest dollar value of Pre-Tax Contributions, which ever occurs first. This process must be repeated (taking into consideration previous reductions under this method) until the total of all reductions equals the Excess Contribution. The amount of Excess Contributions to be distributed to each affected Highly Compensated Employee is equal to the Pre-Tax Contributions made on behalf of such Employee prior to reduction of the Excess Contributions under the above method, less the Pre-Tax Contributions on behalf of such Employee after reductions made under the above method.”

(iv) The provisions of this Subsection shall be applied after the provisions of Section 4.06 are applied and the amount of any Excess Contributions refunded under this Subsection shall be reduced by Excess Deferrals, if any, attributable to such Plan Year previously distributed to the Employee. Any distribution made pursuant to this Subsection 4.05(3)(b)(i) may be made notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan.

(v) Notwithstanding any Plan provision to the contrary, in no event shall Matching Contributions remain allocated to a Highly Compensated Employee’s account and such amounts shall be treated as forfeitures (in the same manner as provided in Subsection 4.07(2)(c)(ii)) if the Pre-Tax Contributions which were matched by such Matching Contributions are refunded as Excess Contributions under this Subsection 4.05(3)(b)(i).

(vi) The earnings or losses allocable to Excess Contributions for the applicable Plan Year shall be determined by multiplying the total income (or loss) allocable the Pre-Tax Contribution Account for the applicable Plan Year by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Excess Contribution on behalf of the Participant for the applicable Plan Year and the denominator of which is the balance of the Participant’s Pre-Tax Contribution Account on the last day of the applicable Plan Year (prior to any refund or redistribution of Excess Contributions), reduced by the income or gain (or increased by the loss) allocable to such total amount for the Plan Year.

(vii) The income allocable to Excess Contributions, for purposes of Subsections 4.05(3)(b)(i) and 4.05(3)(b)(ii), shall include all earnings and appreciation, including such items as interest, dividends, rent, royalties, gains from the sale of property, appreciation in the value of stock, bonds, annuity and life insurance contracts, and other property, without regard to whether such appreciation has been realized.

(viii) No income allocable to Excess Contributions for the period between the end of the Plan Year and the date of the distribution shall be refunded.

(c) In addition to or in lieu of the above procedures to conform Pre-Tax Contributions to the limitations of Subsection 4.05(1), the Employer may make a QNEC on behalf of any Non-Highly Compensated Employee. In the event a QNEC is to be allocated to a Participant under either this Subsection 4.05(3)(c) or Subsection 4.07(2)(d) such allocation shall equal the maximum amount which can be allocated to that Participant without causing the total amount allocated to the Participant under the Plan to exceed the limitation of Section 5.06, provided that QNECs shall be allocated first to the account of Non-Highly Compensated Employees who have the lowest Compensation for the Plan Year, then as the Actual Deferral Ratios (or, if applicable, the Actual Contribution Ratios) of those Participants increase, allocations shall be made to the accounts of Non-Highly Compensated Employees with the next lowest Compensation and so on until the entire QNEC has been allocated.

4.05(4) For purposes of this Section 4.05:

(a) “Actual Deferral Percentage” (or “ADP”) shall mean for Eligible Employees the average (arithmetic mean) of the Actual Deferral Ratios (calculated separately for each Eligible Employee to the nearest one-hundredth of one percent), which equals

(i) the sum of the Pre-Tax Contributions actually contributed to the Trust on behalf of such Employee and allocated to his Pre-Tax Contribution Account for such Plan Year, plus

(A) the Qualified Nonelective Contributions, if any, actually contributed to the Trust on behalf of such Employee and allocated to his Pre-Tax Contribution Account for such Plan Year, and

(B) the Matching Contributions (other than Qualified Nonelective Contributions), if any, actually contributed to the Trust on behalf of such Employee and allocated to his Pre-Tax Contribution Account for such Plan Year that qualify for aggregation under Code section 401(k)(3)(D)(ii) and are designated by the Plan Administrator as includible in this computation for this Plan Year, divided by

(ii) the Total Compensation received by the Employee during the Plan Year, such average of ratios being multiplied by one hundred (100).

(iii) Any Pre-Tax Contributions taken into account for purposes of the Actual Deferral Percentage shall: (i) (but for the election which such Employee made in accordance with Section 3.04) relate to Total Compensation that would have been received by such Employee during the Plan Year; or (ii) be attributable to services performed by the Employee in the Plan Year and (but for the election which such Employee made in accordance with Section 3.04) would have been received by the Employee within two and one-half months after the end of the Plan Year; and (iii) be allocated to the Employee’s Pre-Tax Contribution Account as of a date within the Plan Year; and (iv) not be contingent upon the Employee’s participation in the Plan or performance of services on any date subsequent to the date as of which such contributions are allocated; and (v) shall be actually paid to the Plan no later than the end of the twelve (12) month period immediately following the Plan Year to which such contribution relates.

(iv) To the extent that the Plan Administrator elects, pursuant to the above paragraph, to take Matching Contributions (other than Qualified Nonelective Contributions) for such Plan Year, that meet the requirements of the applicable Regulations, into account in computing the Actual Deferral Percentage, the Actual Contribution Percentage tests under Section 4.07 must still be completed and satisfied separately, and in doing so the Employer shall disregard the Matching Contributions used in computing the Actual Deferral Percentage for such Plan Year. Any Matching Contributions taken into account for purposes of determining the Actual Deferral Percentage shall be: (i) allocated only to the accounts of Participants who are not Non-Highly Compensated Employees; (ii) allocated to such Employees’ Pre-Tax Contribution Account (and at the discretion of the Plan Administrator to the subaccount for Qualified Nonelective Contributions); and (iii) shall be nonforfeitable and treated for all purposes as Pre-Tax Contributions, including for purposes of the directly preceding paragraph of this Subsection 4.05(4)(a) and Section 4.09 but such amounts will be prohibited from being withdrawn as hardship withdrawals as provided in Subsection 4.10.

(v) For purposes of this Section, the ratio calculated for any Eligible Employee who is a Highly Compensated Employee for the Plan Year and who is eligible to have Pre-Tax Contributions allocated to his account under two or more plans or arrangements described in Code section 401(k) that are maintained by the Employer shall be determined as if all such contributions were made under a single arrangement. Further, in the event that this Plan satisfies the requirements of Code sections 401(a)(4) and 410(b) only if aggregated with one or more other plans, or if one or more other plans satisfy the requirements of Code sections 401(a)(4) and 410(b) only if aggregated with this Plan, the Actual Deferral Percentage shall be determined by calculating the ratio for each Eligible Employee as if all such plans were a single plan. If the Plan is permissively aggregated with another plan in order to comply with the limitations of Subsection 4.05(1), such aggregated plans must also meet the requirements of Code sections 401(a)(4) and 410(b) as a single plan.

(b) “Excess Contributions” shall mean, with respect to any Plan Year, the excess of (i) the aggregate amount of contributions, if any, included under Subsection 4.05(4)(a) in the Actual Deferral Percentage computation for the Plan Year that were actually paid over to the Trust on behalf of Highly Compensated Employees for such Plan Year, over (ii) the maximum amount of such Pre-Tax Contributions permitted under the limitations of Subsections 4.05(1).

(c) “Highly Compensated Employee” shall mean any Eligible Employee who is a highly compensated employee as defined in Code section 414(q) and the regulations thereunder using the calendar year election of Treasury Regulation Section 1.414(q)-1T, Q&A 14(b). Generally, a Highly Compensated Employee is any Employee who:

(i) was at any time a ‘five percent owner,’ as defined in Section 416(i)(1) of the Code, during the Plan Year for which the definition is being applied or during the preceding Plan Year with respect to an Employer;

(ii) for the preceding Plan Year -

(A) received Compensation from the Employer in excess of Eighty-Five Thousand Dollars ($85,000.00) as indexed at the same time and in the same manner as under Code section 415(d), and;

(B) if the Employer elects, was in the group of Employees of an Employer and all Participating Companies consisting of the top twenty percent (20%) of the Employees when ranked on the basis of Compensation paid during the Plan Year. For purposes of determining the number of Employees in the top-paid group, Employees who have not completed six (6) months of Service, normally work less than seventeen and one-half (172) hours per week, normally work during six (6) or less months per year, have not attained the age of twenty-one (21), are nonresident aliens with no earned income from sources within the United States (within the meaning of Section 861(a)(3) of the Code), or are included in a unit of employees covered by a collective bargaining agreement (except to the extent provided in regulations), shall not be included.

(d) “Non-Highly Compensated Employee” means any Eligible Employee who is not a Highly Compensated Employee.

(e) “Eligible Employee” shall mean for or during a Plan Year each Employee who is eligible to become a Participant, including those Employees who are eligible to but fail to file the election required by Section 3.04; provided, however, that those Employees of ClubCorp International Resource Company who are nonresident aliens who receive no earned income (within the meaning of Code section 911(d)(2)) which is U.S. source income (within the meaning of Code section 861(a)(3)) shall not be treated as Eligible Employees for purposes of this Section 4.05.

(f) “Total Compensation” means any payments received by an Eligible Employee for the Plan Year in question from an Affiliated Company which meet the definition of Total Compensation chosen by the Plan Administrator for that Plan Year. Any such definition chosen by the Plan Administrator shall satisfy the requirements of Code section 414(s) and all related Treasury Regulations. In the event an Employee begins, resumes, or ceases to be an Eligible Employee during a Plan Year, the amount of the Employee’s Total Compensation for the entire Plan Year shall be taken into account for purposes of this Section 4.05(4)(f). The Total Compensation of each Participant taken into account in determining allocations for any Plan Year shall not exceed $200,000, as adjusted for cost-of-living increases in accordance with section 401(a)(17)(B) of the Code. “Total Compensation” means Compensation during the Plan Year or such other consecutive 12-month period over which Compensation is otherwise determined under the Plan (the determination period). The cost-of-living adjustment in effect for a calendar year applies to Total Compensation for the determination period that begins with or within such calendar year.

4.06 Distribution of Excess Deferrals. If a Participant is required to include in his gross income for a calendar year elective deferrals (as defined in Code section 402(g)(3)) which exceeded Twelve Thousand Dollars ($12,000) (or such greater amount as determined by the Secretary of the Treasury pursuant to cost-of-living increases) for such year, such amounts shall be referred to as “Excess Deferrals” and shall be distributed to the Participant. The Plan Administrator shall distribute such Excess Deferrals, adjusted for any income or losses allocable to such amount (determined in accordance with the principles of Subsection 4.05(3)(b)), for the Plan Year in question not later than the time determined under Subsection 4.05(3)(b), provided, however, that the amount of Excess Deferrals to be distributed shall be reduced by Excess Contributions previously distributed in accordance with Subsection 4.05(3)(b) to the Employee from the Plan which are attributable to such Plan Year. Any distribution made pursuant to this Section may be made notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan.

4.07 Limitation on Matching Contributions. Each Plan Year, the Plan shall satisfy the nondiscrimination tests in Code section 401(m).

4.07(1) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, the “Actual Contribution Percentage” (or “ACP”) of Matching Contributions made to the Plan for Highly Compensated Employees during the Plan Year shall not exceed the greater of the limitations indicated below:

(a) One hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the ACP for all Non-Highly Compensated Employees; or

(b) The lesser of: (i) the sum of the ACP for all Non-Highly Compensated Employees plus two percent (2%); or (ii) two hundred percent (200%) of the ACP for all Non-Highly Compensated Employees.

4.07(2) In the event that following the end of the Plan Year, it is determined by the Plan Administrator that the Matching Contributions allocated to Highly Compensated Employees exceed the limitations of Subsection 4.07(1), then the amount in excess of such limitation (“Excess Aggregate Contributions”) (and income thereon) shall be corrected in accordance with the following rules.

(a) (i) Distribute the Excess Aggregate Contributions, as adjusted for allowable income, during the next Plan Year.

(ii) Excess Contributions are calculated by determining the dollar value of the aggregate of the reductions in the Actual Contribution Ratios for each Highly Compensated Employee that would otherwise be necessary to meet the limitations of Subsections 4.07(1) and 4.07(2). In calculating these Excess Aggregate Contributions, the following leveling method shall be used. The Actual Contribution Ratio of the Highly Compensated Employee with the highest Actual Contribution Ratio is reduced to the extent required to (i) enable the Plan to satisfy the limitations of Subsections 4.07(1) and 4.07(2), or (ii) cause such Highly Compensated Employee’s Actual Contribution Ratio to equal the Actual Contribution Ratio of the Highly Compensated Employee with the next highest Actual Contribution Ratio, whichever occurs first. This process must be repeated (taking into consideration previous reductions under this method) until the limitations of Subsection 4.05(1) is met. The dollar value of the reductions in the Actual Contribution Ratio for each Highly Compensated Employee (rounded to the nearest one cent ($.01)) are then calculated and added together to arrive at the Excess Aggregate Contributions.

(iii) The amount of Excess Aggregate Contributions to be distributed to individual Highly Compensated Employees is determined by applying Excess Aggregate Contributions to reduce the dollar amount of Matching Contributions made on behalf of such Highly Compensated Employees. In distributing Excess Matching Contributions, the following leveling method shall be used. The Matching Contributions of the Highly Compensated Employee with the highest dollar amount of Matching Contributions are reduced to the extent required (i) for the reduction, when added to all previous reductions under this method, to equal the Excess Aggregate Contributions, or (ii) to cause the dollar value of such Highly Compensated Employee’s Matching Contributions to equal the dollar value of the Highly Compensated Employee with the next highest dollar value of Matching Contributions, which ever occurs first. This process must be repeated (taking into consideration previous reductions under this method) until the total of all

reductions equals the Excess Aggregate Contribution. The amount of Excess Aggregate Contributions to be distributed to each affected Highly Compensated Employee is equal to the Matching Contributions made on behalf of such Employee prior to reduction of the Excess Aggregate Contributions under the above method, less the Matching Contributions on behalf of such Employee after reductions made under the above method.

(b) In addition to or in lieu of the above procedures to conform Matching Contributions to the limitations of Subsection 4.07(1), the Employer may make a QNEC on behalf of any Non-Highly Compensated Employee to the extent necessary to insure the limitations of Subsection 4.07(1) are met. Such QNECs shall be included in the calculations under Subsection 4.07(1) only if the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.401(m)-l(b)(5) (or any successor thereto) are met. In addition, the Plan Administrator may designate that all or part of the Pre-Tax Contributions shall be included in the calculations under Subsection 4.07(1) (any such amounts shall not be included in the calculations under Subsection 4.05(1)) provided such use complies with the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.401(m)-l(b)(2) (or any successor thereto).”

4.07(3) In determining the amount of income allocable to Excess Aggregate Contributions which are being distributed or forfeited, the following rules shall apply:

(a) The income allocable to Excess Aggregate Contributions for the Plan Year in which the contributions are made is the income for the Plan Year with respect to the Highly Compensated Employee’s Matching Contributions multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount of Excess Aggregate Contributions made on behalf of the Highly Compensated Employee for the Plan Year and the denominator of which is the balance of the Participant’s Matching Contributions as of the end of the Plan Year before adjustment of his Employer Contribution Account in accordance with the provisions of Article 6. For purposes of this Subsection 4.07(3), the income of the Plan shall mean all earnings, gains and losses computed in accordance with the provisions of Article 6.

(b) No income allocable to Excess Aggregate Contributions for the period between the end of the Plan Year and the date of the distribution shall be refunded.

4.07(4) For purposes of this Section 4.07:

(a) “Actual Contribution Percentage” (or “ACP”) shall mean for Eligible Employees the average (arithmetic mean) of the Actual Contribution Ratios (calculated separately for each Eligible Employee to the nearest one-hundredth of one percent), which equals:

(i) the sum of Matching Contributions actually contributed to the Trust on behalf of such Employee and allocated to his Employer Contribution Account for the Plan Year, plus

(ii) the Qualified Nonelective Contributions actually contributed to the Trust on behalf of such Employee and allocated to his Pre-Tax Contribution Account for the Plan Year, plus

(iii) the Pre-Tax Contributions actually contributed to the Trust on behalf of such Employee and allocated to his Pre-Tax Contribution Account for the Plan Year, that qualify for aggregation under Code section 401(m)(3) and are designated by the Plan Administrator as includible in this computation for this Plan Year, divided by

(iv) the Total Compensation, as defined in Subsection 4.05(4)(f), received by the Employee during the Plan Year, such average of ratios being multiplied by one hundred (100).

(v) To the extent that the Plan Administrator elects, pursuant to the above paragraph, to take Pre-Tax Contributions (and other contributions) listed in Subsection 4.05(4)(a) into account in computing the Actual Contribution Percentage for such Plan Year, the Actual Deferral Percentage test under Section 4.05 must be satisfied separately, disregarding Pre-Tax Contributions (and other contributions) listed in Subsection 4.05(4)(a) but used in computing the Actual Contribution Percentage for such Plan Year.

(vi) In calculating ACP, all Pre-Tax Contributions taken into account for purposes of determining the Actual Contribution Percentage shall: (i) (but for the election which such Employee made in accordance with Section 3.04) relate to Total Compensation that would have been received by such Employee during the Plan Year; or (ii) be attributable to services performed by the Employee in the Plan Year (but for the election which such Employee made in accordance with Section 3.04) and would have been received by the Employee within two and one-half months after the end of the Plan Year; and (iii) be allocated to the Employee’s Pre-Tax Contribution Account (and at the discretion of the Plan Administrator to the subaccount for Qualified Nonelective Contributions) as of a date within the Plan Year; and (iv) not be contingent upon the Employee’s participation in the Plan or performance of services on any date subsequent to the date as of which such contributions are allocated; and (v) shall be actually paid to the Plan no later than the end of the twelve (12) month period immediately following the Plan Year to which such contribution relates; and (vi) shall be considered for purposes of the ACP with respect to amounts allocated only to the Pre-Tax Contribution Accounts of Non-Highly Compensated Employees.

(vii) In calculating ACP, a Matching Contribution shall be taken into account for a Plan Year only if such Matching Contribution: (i) is made on account of the Employee’s Pre-Tax Contribution for the Plan Year; (ii) is allocated to the Employee as of a date during such Plan Year; and (iii) is paid to the Trust not later than the last day of the twelfth (12th) month following the close of such Plan Year.

(viii) In calculating ACP, all employee contributions and employer matching contributions (as defined in Code section 401(m)(4)) of any Highly Compensated Employee who participates in more than one plan maintained by an Affiliated Company shall be aggregated for purposes of determining such percentage.

(ix) In calculating ACP, all employee contributions and employer matching contributions (as defined in Code section 401(m)(4)) to any plan required to be aggregated with the Plan for purposes of Code section 401(a)(4) or 410(b) shall be treated as if made under the Plan. If the Plan is permissively aggregated with another plan in order to comply with the limitations of Subsection 4.07(1), such aggregated plans must also meet the requirements of Code sections 401(a)(4) and 410(b) as a single plan.

(b) “Highly Compensated Employee” shall mean a Highly Compensated Employee as defined in Subsection 4.05(4)(c).

(c) “Non-Highly Compensated Employee” shall mean a Non-Highly Compensated Employee as defined in Subsection 4.05(4)(d).

(d) “Eligible Employee” shall mean an Eligible Employee as defined in Subsection 4.05(4)(e).

(e) “Total Compensation” shall mean compensation as defined in Subsection 4.05(4)(f).

4.08 General Xxxxxxxxxx from After-Tax Contribution Account. Upon application by the Participant received by the Plan Administrator, a Participant may, in accordance with Section 4.11, withdraw all or a portion of the value of such Participant’s After-Tax Contribution Account; provided, however, that: (i) all partial withdrawals must be for a minimum of Five Hundred Dollars ($500); and (ii) all partial withdrawals over Five Hundred Dollars ($500) must be made in Two Hundred Fifty Dollar ($250) increments. Withdrawals under this Section shall be valued and the amounts of the withdrawal shall be subtracted from the Participant’s After-Tax Contribution Account as of the Allocation Date coincident with or next following the date such request for withdrawal is received by the Plan Administrator. The actual payment of the amount to be so withdrawn shall occur as soon as administratively feasible on or after such date.

4.09 General Withdrawal of Pre-Tax Contributions and Distribution Restrictions.

4.09(1) Notwithstanding any Plan provisions to the contrary, and except as provided in Section 4.10 amounts held in a Participant’s Pre-Tax Contribution Account are not distributable prior to the earliest of:

(i) his separation from service (as defined in Code section 401(k) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder) pursuant to Article 10;

(ii) his Disability pursuant to Article 8;

(iii) his Death pursuant to Article 9;

(iv) his attainment of age 592 pursuant to Subsection 4.09(2);

(v) the termination of the Plan; provided, however, that a distribution is allowable under this provision only if neither the Employer nor another company in an Affiliated Group with the Employer maintains a successor plan (as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.401(k)-1(d)(3)) other than an employee stock ownership plan on the date of distribution;

(vi) the disposition, to a corporation that is not in an Affiliated Group with the Employer, of substantially all (at least eighty-five percent (85%)) of the assets (within the meaning of Code section 409(d)(2)) used by the Employer in a trade or business of the Employer, but only if the Participant continues employment with the transferee corporation, the Employer continues to maintain the Plan, and the distribution is in connection with the disposition that causes the Participant’s employment transfer or as determined by the Plan Administrator as permitted by Revenue Procedure 2000-27; or

(vii) the disposition, to an entity or individual that is not in an Affiliated Group with the Employer, of the Employer’s interest in a subsidiary (within the meaning of Code section 409(d)(3)) in which the Participant is employed, but only if the Participant continues employment with the subsidiary, the Employer continues to maintain the Plan, and the distribution is in connection with the disposition that causes the Participant’s employment transfer.

A distribution may be made under (v), (vi), or (vii) of Subsection 4.09(1) only if it constitutes a total distribution of the sum of (i) the Participant’s balances in all of his Accounts and (ii) his account balances under any other profit sharing plan of the Employer or of a company in an Affiliated Group with the Employer.

4.09(2) A Participant who has attained age 59-1/2 may withdraw all or any portion of the balance of his previously unwithdrawn Pre-Tax Contributions as of the Allocation Date coincident with or next following the date such request for withdrawal is received by the Plan Administrator. The actual payment of the amount to be so withdrawn shall occur as soon as administratively feasible on or after such date. Notwithstanding that the Participant has elected to receive an in-service withdrawal under this paragraph, the Participant shall continue to be eligible to participate in the Plan on the same basis as prior to the withdrawal.

If, at any time, a Participant withdraws less than the entire amount which is available for his withdrawal under this Subsection 4.09(2) at such time from his Pre-Tax Contribution Account, then such Participant must withdraw a minimum amount equal to Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00).

4.10 Hardship Withdrawals from After-Tax Contribution Account and Pre-Tax Contribution Account.

4.10(1) Upon application by a Participant, the Plan Administrator may, in accordance with the provisions of this Section and Section 4.11 permit such Participant to withdraw a portion of the value of such Participant’s After-Tax Contribution Account or Pre-Tax Contribution Account, pursuant to the following provision. Of the following provisions, all but Subsections 4.10(2) and 4.10(6) shall apply to withdrawals of After-Tax Contributions and all but Subsection 4.10(7) shall apply to withdrawals of Pre-Tax Contributions. Notwithstanding the preceding, a Participant shall in any case be precluded from making a hardship withdrawal of any amount in his Pre-Tax Contribution Account attributable to Qualified Nonelective Contributions, Matching Contributions, or Discretionary Contributions.

4.10(2) No withdrawal may be made for any purpose other than a Permitted Purpose, as defined in Subsection 4.10(6).

4.10(3) Application for withdrawal must be made in such form as prescribed by the Plan Administrator, and must set out in detail the circumstances establishing that the proposed withdrawal is for a Permitted Purpose.

4.10(4) Before the Plan Administrator will permit a Participant to make a hardship withdrawal pursuant to this Section, the Participant must submit representation that his financial

need cannot be relieved: (i) through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise; (ii) by reasonable liquidation of the Participant’s assets, to the extent such liquidation would not itself cause an immediate and heavy financial need; (iii) by cessation of Pre-Tax Contributions under the Plan; (iv) by other distributions or nontaxable (at the time of the loan) loans from plans maintained by the Employer or by any other employer; or (v) by borrowing from commercial sources on reasonable commercial terms.

4.10(5) The Plan Administrator’s determination of whether the application meets the requirements of this Section shall be final and conclusive, and in making such determination, the Plan Administrator shall follow uniform and nondiscriminatory rules.

4.10(6) The expression “Permitted Purpose,” as used in this Section, means a withdrawal which is necessary in light of immediate and heavy financial need of the Participant which is: (i) for payment of medical expenses described in Code section 213 of the Participant, the Participant’s spouse, dependents (as defined in Code section 152) or parents as necessary for such persons to obtain medical care described in Code section 213; (ii) for purchase of a principal residence of the Participant; (iii) for payment of tuition and related educational fees for the next twelve (12) months of post-secondary education for the Participant or such Participant’s spouse, children or dependents; (iv) needed to prevent eviction of the Participant from his principal residence or foreclosure on the mortgage of the Participant’s principal residence; (v) for payment of funeral expenses for the Participant’s spouse, dependents or parents; or (vi) needed to prevent the enforcement of state or federal tax liens. Such withdrawal shall not be permitted unless the Plan Administrator determines the Participant has obtained all distributions (other than hardship distributions) and all nontaxable loans currently available under all plans maintained by any Affiliated Company, and in no event will such payment exceed the amount required to meet such financial need.

4.10(7) Hardship withdrawal payments under Subsection 4.10(1) shall not exceed eighty percent (80%) of the balance in the Participant’s After-Tax Contribution Account as of the most currently available Allocation Date and shall be paid as soon as practicable following receipt by the Plan Administrator of the application for withdrawal and shall be subtracted from the Participant’s After-Tax Contribution Account as of the date on which the distribution occurs, prior to allocation of earnings, losses, appreciation and depreciation since the last Allocation Date.

4.10(8) Hardship withdrawal payments under Subsection 4.10(1) shall not exceed the excess of: (i) the Participant’s actual Pre-Tax Contributions; over (ii) his prior withdrawals under Subsection 4.10(1) as of the most currently available Allocation Date and shall be paid as soon as practicable following receipt by the Plan Administrator of the application for withdrawal and shall be subtracted from the Participant’s Pre-Tax Contributions as of the first day of the calendar quarter in which the distribution occurs, prior to allocation of earnings, losses, appreciation and depreciation since the last Allocation Date.

4.11 Procedure for Withdrawal.

4.11(1) All withdrawals shall be subject to the Plan Administrator’s determination that the requirements for withdrawal are satisfied after receipt of a request for withdrawal on such forms as the Plan Administrator shall prescribe. If the Plan Administrator is satisfied that the application meets the requirements of Sections 4.08, 4.09 or 4.10, the application shall be granted.

4.11(2) When an application for withdrawal is granted under the provisions of this Section, the Plan Administrator shall give such directions to the Trustee as appropriate to effectuate the distribution in accordance with the terms hereof of the interest being withdrawn.

4.12 Discretionary Contributions. Discretionary Contributions, if any, for each Plan Year shall be in such form (i.e. cash, or Company Stock) and such amount as the Board, in its sole discretion, may direct; provided however, that the Discretionary Contributions shall not be less than the amount equal to the product of: (a) the amount required to fully amortize any outstanding Exempt Loan; minus (b) the amount already contributed by the Employer as Matching Contributions pursuant to Section 4.02. However, in no event will the total of Matching Contributions and Discretionary Contributions exceed the maximum amount deductible from the Employer’s income for such taxable year under Sections 404(a)(3)(A) and 404(a)(9) of the Code, including any amounts carried over under Section 404 of the Code. Discretionary Contributions shall: (i) if made in cash, be allocated to the Other Investments Accounts of Participants’ Employer Contribution Accounts; and (ii) if made in Company Stock, be allocated to the Company Stock Accounts of Participants’ Employer Contribution Accounts. Discretionary Contributions shall be allocated as of the last day of the Plan Year among all Participants who are employed by an Employer on the last day of such Plan Year.

If a Participant who is an Eligible Employee ceases to be an Eligible Employee or is transferred from an Employer to a non-adopting Affiliated Company, he shall not participate in the allocation of Discretionary Contributions for the Plan Year in which the cessation or transfer took place. If an Employee transfers to an adopting Employer, such Employee shall become an Eligible Employee and eligible to receive an allocation pursuant to the terms of this Section 4.12.

4.13 Securities Law Limitations on Contributions. The Plan Administrator may, in a nondiscriminatory manner determined in its sole discretion, reduce, suspend, or refund contributions, as necessary to ensure that the offer and sale of interests in the Plan and the offer and sale of Company Stock in connection with the Plan comply with all requirements under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and any other applicable federal or state securities laws.

ARTICLE 5. - ALLOCATION TO PARTICIPANTS’ ACCOUNTS

5.01 Trust Accounts. The Plan Administrator shall create and maintain adequate records to reflect all transactions of the Trust and to disclose the interest in the Trust of each Participant, former Participant, Beneficiary, or Alternate Payee who has an undistributed interest in the Fund.

5.01(1) Individual Accounts. Where appropriate, the Plan Administrator shall establish and maintain for each Participant a Pre-Tax Contribution Account, an Employer Contribution Account, an After-Tax Contribution Account and an Employer Divestiture Account which Accounts are collectively referred to herein as an Account.

5.01(2) General Account. The Plan Administrator shall also establish and maintain for the Trust suspense accounts to be known as an Unallocated Company Stock Account and an Unallocated Other Investments Account, in the event Company Stock is acquired with the proceeds of an Exempt Loan.

5.01(3) Rights in Trust. The maintenance of individual Accounts is only for accounting purposes, and a segregation of the assets of the Trust to each Account shall not be required.

5.02 Contribution Allocations to Accounts.

5.02(1) Pre-Tax Contribution Account.

(c) Employer Contributions. Notwithstanding Subsections 5.02(2)(a) and (b) above, if in any Plan Year the foregoing allocation would result in more than one-third (1/3) of total Employer Contributions for such Plan Year being allocated to the Prohibited Group, no Employer Contributions in excess of one-third (1/3) of total Employer Contributions shall be allocated to members of such group, but such excess shall be reallocated to all other eligible Participants according to the ratio that each such other eligible Participant’s Compensation bears to the total Compensation of all such other eligible Participants. For purposes of this Subsection, the “Prohibited Group” means a group of Participants consisting of highly compensated employees, as described in section 414(q) of the Code.

5.02(3) Unallocated Company Stock Account and Unallocated Other Investments Account.

(a) Unallocated Company Stock Account. The Unallocated Company Stock Account shall be increased as of each Allocation Date with the number of shares of Company Stock purchased with the proceeds of an Exempt Loan. The Unallocated Company Stock Account shall also be increased as of each Allocation Date with the stock (in kind) dividends received with respect to Company Stock held in such Account.

5.02(4) Earnings Allocation Procedures. Subject to Section 5.06 below, Accounts shall be adjusted in accordance with the following:

(a) Income and Appreciation in Value of Other Investments Accounts in the Trust. The income of the Other Investments Accounts, the Unallocated Other Investments Account, the Employer Divesture Accounts and the After-Tax Contribution Accounts in the Trust (including the appreciation or depreciation in value of the assets in the Other Investments Accounts, the Employer Divesture Accounts and the After-Tax Contribution Accounts in the Trust) shall be allocated as of each Allocation Date to such Accounts in proportion to the balances in such Accounts as of the next preceding Allocation Date, but after first reducing each Account balance by any distributions or charges from such Account since the next preceding Allocation Date.

Any dividends allocated to the Unallocated Other Investments Account, to the extent not used to pay principal and interest on an Exempt Loan, shall: (i) first be allocated as a Matching Contribution pursuant to Section 5.05(3)(a); and (ii) to the extent such amounts exceed the Employer’s Matching Contribution obligations for the Plan Year shall be allocated as a Discretionary Contribution pursuant to Section 5.05(3)(b).

(b) Income and Appreciation in Value of Company Stock Accounts in the Trust. The income (except stock (in kind) dividends with respect to Company Stock and except the unrealized appreciation or depreciation in value of the assets in the Company Stock Accounts in the Trust) of both the Company Stock Accounts and the Unallocated Company Stock Account of the Trust shall be allocated as of each Allocation Date to the Other Investments Accounts and Unallocated Other Investments Account, as is appropriate, in proportion to the balances, as of the last Allocation Date, in the respective Company Stock Accounts or Unallocated Company Stock Account to which the income is attributable but after first reducing each such Account balance by any distributions or charges from such Accounts since the last Allocation Date. Cash or stock (in kind) dividends with respect to Company Stock shall be allocated to the Account which held the Company Stock that generated the cash or stock (in kind) dividend; provided, however, that cash or stock (in kind) dividends with respect to Company Stock then allocated to the Unallocated Company Stock Account or the Unallocated Other Investments Account may first be used to pay principal and interest on an Exempt Loan.

5.03 Time of Allocating Contributions. Subject to Sections 4.07, 5.06 through 5.08 and Subsection 19.03(2), Pre-Tax Contributions and Matching Contributions shall be allocated as of the Allocation Date among all Participants (the “Eligible Participants”) who have made Pre-Tax Contributions, respectively, since the last Allocation Date. Each Participant’s allocable share of Matching Contributions shall equal twenty percent (20%) of such Participant’s Pre-Tax Contributions since the last Allocation Date. Discretionary Contributions, if any, for each Plan Year shall be allocated as of the last day of the Plan Year. QNECs shall be allocated in accordance with Subsection 4.05(3)(c).

5.04 Accounts of Participants Transferred to an Affiliated Company Which Has Not Adopted the Plan. If a Participant is transferred to an Affiliated Company which has not adopted the Plan, the amount in the Trust which is credited to his Accounts shall continue to share in the earnings, losses, appreciation, or depreciation of the Trust Fund, and such Participant’s rights and obligations with respect to such Accounts shall be governed by the provisions of the Plan and Trust.

5.05 Treatment of Company Stock Purchased under an Exempt Loan.

5.05(1) Debt Purchase of Company Stock. Any Company Stock purchased by the Trust under an Exempt Loan shall be allocated initially to the Unallocated Company Stock Account.

5.05(2) Release from Unallocated Company Stock Account. As of each Allocation Date, there shall be released from the Unallocated Company Stock Account a portion of the Company Stock purchased under an Exempt Loan by the Trust equal to the number of shares determined by taking the shares so purchased which have not theretofore been released from the Unallocated Company Stock Account multiplied by the ratio of (1) the amount of principal and interest paid under the Exempt Loan subsequent to the last Allocation Date, to (2) the total of all principal and interest to be paid for the current and all future years. Notwithstanding the preceding, the number of shares released pursuant to this Section 5.05(2) for any Plan Year shall equal the number of shares purchased under an Exempt Loan which have not theretofore been released from the Unallocated Company Stock Account and multiplied by the ratio of (1) the amount of principal and interest paid under the Exempt Loan for the Plan Year to (2) the total of all principal and interest to be paid for the current and future years.

5.05(3) Allocation to Company Stock Accounts. The number of shares of Company Stock released pursuant to Subsection 5.05(2) shall be allocated to the Company Stock Accounts of Participants pursuant to the following provisions.

(a) Matching Contributions. The total number of shares released and allocable as a Matching Contribution shall be determined by multiplying the total shares released by a fraction the numerator of which is the amount of the cash contribution needed to fund the Employer’s Matching Contribution obligation for the Plan Year (after allocation of dividends pursuant to Subsection 5.02(4)(b)), and the denominator of which is the total amount of cash contributed to the Plan for such Plan Year. Each Participant’s allocable share of the Company Stock released which is attributable to the Matching Contribution shall be determined by multiplying the number of shares released pursuant to the Matching Contribution by a fraction the numerator of which is the Participant’s Matching Contribution funds for the Plan Year used to repay principal and interest on an Exempt Loan and the denominator of which is the aggregate of all Matching Contribution funds for the Plan Year used to repay principal and interest on an Exempt Loan.

(b) Discretionary Contributions. The total number of shares released and allocable as a Discretionary Contribution shall equal all remaining shares released after application of Subsection 5.05(3)(a). Each Participant’s allocable share of the Company Stock released which is attributable to the Discretionary Contribution for the Plan Year shall be determined by multiplying the number of shares released pursuant to the Discretionary Contribution for the Plan Year by a fraction the numerator of which is the Participant’s Compensation for the Plan Year and the denominator of which is the Compensation of all Participants.

5.05(4) Payments on an Exempt Loan. As of each Allocation Date, installment payments, including principal and interest, made by the Trust out of Matching Contributions or Discretionary Contributions since the last preceding Allocation Date under an Exempt Loan, will decrease the Other Investments Accounts in the same proportion that Matching Contributions and Discretionary Contributions are allocated under the provisions of Subsection 5.05(3) hereof. Dividends from the Unallocated Other Investments Account that are used to pay principal and interest of any installment payments shall also decrease the Unallocated Other Investments Account. For purposes of determining payments on an Exempt Loan, to the extent Matching Contributions are not sufficient to satisfy all amounts currently due, Discretionary Contributions shall be made in an amount sufficient to fully satisfy all amounts currently due. Each Exempt Loan shall provide for payment of principal and interest substantially in accordance with the following: all income (“specified income”) allocable to the Unallocated Company Stock Account and Unallocated Other Investments Account that is attributable to collateral for the obligation shall be used, before any Matching Contributions or Discretionary Contributions are so used, to pay principal amounts due under such Exempt Loan; Matching Contributions and Discretionary Contributions shall be first applied to repay interest under an Exempt Loan with any excess used to fund current principal requirements not otherwise funded by the specified income; if the specified income of the Unallocated Company Stock Account and Unallocated Other Investments Account is not sufficient to pay principal due under an Exempt Loan, then Matching Contributions and Discretionary Contributions shall be used to fund the difference; if the specified income exceeds the amount necessary to pay principal due on Exempt Loans for the Plan Year, then such excess amount shall be first used to pay interest currently due, if any, with respect to the Exempt Loan and any remaining amount of income may, at the direction and in the discretion of the Plan Administrator, be used to

prepay principal due on an Exempt Loan in succeeding Plan Years. Any remaining amount of income not so used shall be allocated to Participants’ Accounts in accordance with Subsections 5.02(4)(a) and 5.02(4)(b).

5.06 Limitation on Annual Additions Under Code section 415. The provisions of Code section 415 are incorporated by reference, to the extent not expressly stated below.

5.06(1) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, and except to the extent permitted under section 414(v) of the Code, if applicable, the Annual Addition that may be contributed or allocated to a Participant’s Account under the Plan for any Limitation Year shall not exceed the lesser of: (a) $40,000, as adjusted for increases in the cost-of-living under section 415(d) of the Code, or (b) 100 percent of the Participant’s Compensation, within the meaning of section 415(c)(3) of the Code, for the Limitation Year. The Compensation limit referred to in (b) shall not apply to any contribution for medical benefits after separation from service (within the meaning of section 401(h) or section 419A(f)(2) of the Code) which is otherwise treated as an Annual Addition. The term “Annual Additions” to a Participant’s Account for any Limitation Year shall mean the sum of:

(a) such Participant’s allocable share of the Matching Contributions and Discretionary Contributions credited to such Participant within such Limitation Year provided, however, that any such contributions applied to the payment of the interest portion of any Exempt Loan shall not be counted as an Annual Addition;

(b) the amount of such Participant’s Pre-Tax Contributions under the Plan, put in if any, for such Limitation Year;

(c) any amount allocated to an “individual medical account,” as defined in Code section 415(l)(2), which is part of a pension or annuity plan maintained by an Employer; and

(d) any amounts derived from contributions paid or accrued after December 31, 1985, in the first taxable year for which a reserve is established pursuant to Code section 419A and each subsequent year, which are attributable to post-retirement medical benefits allocated to the separate account of a key employee (as defined in Code section 419A(d)(3)) under a welfare benefit fund (as defined in Code section 419(e)) maintained by an Employer.

Provided, however, that the twenty-five percent (25%) limitation set forth in this Subsection 5.06(1)(ii) shall not apply to amounts described in Subsection 5.06(1)(ii)(d).

Solely for purposes of this Section, the determination of a Participant’s Pre-Tax Contributions for a Limitation Year shall exclude the items set forth in Treasury Regulations Sections 1.415-6(b)(3)(i)-(iv), and the determination of a Participant’s allocable share of Matching Contributions for a Limitation Year shall exclude any Matching Contributions allocated to such Participant for any of the reasons set forth in Treasury Regulations Sections 1.415-6(b)(2)(ii)-(vi) (except as otherwise provided in such Sections).

5.06(2) In the event that as a result of: (i) a reasonable error in estimating a Participant’s Limitation Year Compensation or (ii) other facts and circumstances which the Internal Revenue Service finds justify the availability of the provisions of this Subsection and Subsection

5.02(3), it is determined that the Annual Additions to a Participant’s Account for any Limitation Year will exceed the limitations contained herein, such Annual Additions shall be reduced to the extent necessary to meet the limitations contained in Subsection 5.02(1) by first reducing, to the extent necessary, such Participant’s After-Tax Contributions, then by reducing, to the extent necessary, such amounts allocated to the Participant’s Pre-Tax Contribution Account, then by reducing to the extent necessary, his allocable share of Matching Contributions for the Plan Year ending within such Limitation Year. If such prospective reductions are not sufficient to cure the excess Annual Additions, the Participant’s Pre-Tax Contributions and/or After-Tax Contributions shall be refunded as necessary to meet the limitations.

5.06(3) If the amount of any Participant’s allocable share of Matching Contributions is reduced in accordance with Subsection 5.06(2), the amount of such reduction shall be maintained in a suspense account under the Trust to be used to reduce Matching Contributions for all Participants for the next Limitation Year (and succeeding Limitation Years, if applicable). Any suspense account established pursuant to this Subsection shall not be adjusted to reflect net income, loss, appreciation or depreciation in the value of the Trust Fund as provided for a Participant’s regular Accounts pursuant to Article 6.

5.06(4) If the amount of any Participant’s Pre-Tax Contributions are refunded in accordance with Subsection 5.06(2), the amount of such refund (adjusted for earnings, losses, appreciation, or depreciation) shall be disregarded for purposes of the Ten Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($10,500) limitation set forth in Subsection 4.04(1)(b) and Section 4.06.

5.06(5) In the event of termination of the Plan, the suspense account described in Subsection 5.06(3) shall revert to the Company to the extent it may not then be allocated to any Participant’s Account.

5.07 Limitations on Annual Additions for Employers or Affiliated Companies Maintaining other Defined Contribution Plans. In the event that any Participant in this Plan is also a participant under any other Defined Contribution Plan maintained by an Affiliated Company, the total amount of Annual Additions to such Participant’s accounts under all such Defined Contribution Plans shall not exceed the limitations set forth in Subsection 5.06(1). If such total amount of Annual Additions to each Participant’s Accounts under all such Defined Contribution Plans does exceed the limitations set forth in Subsection 5.06(1), then the Annual Additions to a Participant’s Account in the Plan shall be reduced after contributions to all other qualified plans of the Company are reduced.

5.08 Definitions for Purposes of Determining the Annual Addition Limitations. For purposes of Sections 5.06, 5.07, and this Section 5.08, the following definitions shall apply:

5.08(1) “Retirement Plan” means: (a) any profit sharing, pension, or stock bonus plan described in Code sections 401(a) and 501(a); (b) any annuity plan or annuity contract described in Code section 403(a) or 403(b); and (c) any simplified employee pension plan described in Code section 408(k).

5.08(2) “Defined Contribution Plan” means a Retirement Plan which provides for an individual account for each participant and for benefits based solely on the amount contributed to the participant’s account, and any income, expenses, gains, or losses, and any forfeitures of accounts of other participants which may be allocated to such participant’s account.

5.08(3) “Limitation Year” means the Plan Year.

5.08(4) “Limitation Year Compensation” means a Participant’s total compensation for services rendered to an Employer during a Plan Year, as reported on Form W-2 or other federal wage statement as taxable for federal income tax purposes, except that for only those Employees of ClubCorp International Resource Company who are nonresident aliens who receive no earned income (within the meaning of Code section 911(d)(2)) which is U.S. source income (within the meaning of Code section 861(a)(3), Limitation Year Compensation shall mean: (i) such Participant’s wages, salaries, earned income (only if an employee within the meaning of Code section 401(c)(1)) which includes foreign earned income (as defined in Code section 911(b)) whether or not excludable from gross income under Code section 911, foreign earned income (as defined in Code section 911(b)) whether or not excludable from gross income under Code section 911, fees for professional services, and other amounts received from an Employer for personal services actually rendered in the course of employment with an Employer as an Employee to the extent that the amounts are includible in gross income (including, but not limited to, commissions paid salesmen, overtime pay, compensation for services on the basis of a percentage of profits, commissions on insurance premiums, tips, bonuses, fringe benefits and reimbursements or other expense allowances under a nonaccountable plan, as described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.62-2(c)), but determined without regard to the exclusions found in Code sections 931 and 933; (ii) amounts received by such Participant described in Code sections 104(a)(3), 105(a) and 105(h), but only to the extent that these amounts are includible in the gross income of the Employee; (iii) amounts paid or reimbursed by the Employer to such Participant for moving expenses incurred by such Participant, but only to the extent that at the time of payment it is reasonable to believe that these amounts are not deductible by such Participant under Code section 217; (iv) the value of nonqualified stock options granted to such Participant, but only to the extent that the value of the option is includible in the gross income of such Participant for the taxable year in which granted; and (v) the amount includible in the gross income of such Participant upon making the election described in Code section 83(b), but excluding the following:

(a) Employer contributions to a plan of deferred compensation to the extent contributions are not included in gross income of the Participant for the taxable year in which contributed, and any distributions from a plan of deferred compensation whether or not includible in the gross income of the Participant when distributed;

(b) Employer contributions made on behalf of the Participant to a simplified employee pension described in Code section 408(k);

(c) amounts realized from the exercise of a nonqualified stock option, or when restricted stock (or property) held by the Participant becomes freely transferable or is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture;

(d) amounts realized from the sale, exchange or other disposition of stock acquired under a qualified stock option; and

amounts that receive special tax benefits, or contributions made by the Employer (whether or not under a salary reduction agreement) towards the purchase of an annuity contract described in Code section 403(b) (whether or not the contributions are excludable from the gross income of the Participant). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Compensation shall include the amount of a

Participant’s elective salary reductions or salary deferrals under any Employer’s cafeteria plan established pursuant to Code section 125, an Employer’s plan established pursuant to Code sections 402(g)(3) and 457, and amounts excluded from gross income of a Participant under section 132(f) of the Code.

5.09 Cessation of Eligible Employee Status. If any Participant does not incur a Termination of Employment but ceases to be an Eligible Employee then, during the period that such Participant is not an Eligible Employee: (i) such Participant’s Accounts shall continue to share in the earnings, losses, appreciation, or depreciation of the Trust Fund; and (ii) such Participant shall receive credit for vesting purposes pursuant to Section 10.01 for any Vesting Years of Service completed during such period.

5.10 Inclusion of Ineligible Employee and Erroneous Allocations. If in any Plan Year any person who should not have been included as a Participant in the Plan is erroneously included and Pre-Tax Contributions, Matching Contributions or Discretionary Contributions are mistakenly made on such Participant’s behalf, the Plan records shall be corrected and such Pre-Tax, Matching and Discretionary Contributions shall be treated as Forfeitures for the Plan Year in which the discovery is made.

ARTICLE 6. - VALUATION OF TRUST FUND

6.01 Valuation of the Trust Fund and Account Statements.

6.01(1) Subject to Section 6.01(2), within a reasonable time after the Allocation Date, the Plan Administrator shall have the Trustee prepare a statement of the condition of the Trust Fund as of the close of business on such Allocation Date setting forth: (i) the non-Company Stock assets of the Trust Fund as of such Allocation Date, and the cost and current value thereof as defined in ERISA Section 3(26) (the “Current Value”) and (ii) all non-Company Stock investments, receipts, disbursements and other transactions effected by it.

6.01(2) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Company Stock shall be valued as of each Semiannual Valuation Date by an independent appraiser selected and retained by the Plan Administrator; provided, however, that in the event Company Stock becomes publicly traded, the foregoing sentence shall not apply. Allocations pursuant to Article 5 shall use the most current available valuation of Company Stock.

6.01(3) The Trustee’s (or, in the case of Company Stock, the appraiser’s) determination of the Current Value of the assets in the Trust Fund and the Plan Administrator’s charges or credits to the individual Accounts with respect to Participants, Beneficiaries, or Alternate Payees, as provided in Section 6.02, shall be final and conclusive on all persons ever interested hereunder.

6.02 Forfeitures.

6.02(1) Application of Forfeitures. Forfeitures under this Plan shall be applied pursuant to Section 10.04(6).

6.02(2) Computations. All of the computations required to be made under the provisions of this Article 6, when made, shall be conclusive with respect thereto and shall be binding upon all the Participants, Beneficiaries, Alternate Payees, and all other persons ever having an interest in the Trust Fund.

6.03 Trust Fund. The Trust shall be invested in Company Stock (which is a qualifying employer security within the meaning of ERISA), provided, however, that to the extent the Plan Administrator determines it is required under ERISA to do so, or cash is needed for administrative expenses, withdrawals, diversification elections, or distributions, assets of the Trust Fund shall be invested in investments other than Company Stock. All purchases of qualifying employer securities, including Company Stock, shall be for no more than the fair market value, as determined in good faith by the Plan Administrator and confirmed by an appraisal submitted by an independent appraiser selected and retained by the Plan Administrator, and no commission shall be charged with respect to any purchase from a party in interest.

6.04 Voting of Shares; Exercise of Other Rights. Shares of Company Stock in the Trust shall be voted by the Trustee as shall be directed by the Plan Administrator. With respect to any corporate matter which involves the voting of such shares at a shareholder meeting and which

constitutes a merger, consolidation, recapitalization, reclassification, liquidation, dissolution, sale of substantially all assets of a trade or business or a similar transaction specified in regulations under Section 409(e)(3) of the Code, however, each Participant (or Beneficiary) will be entitled to give confidential instructions to the Trustee as to the voting of shares of Company Stock then allocated to his Company Stock Account. In that event, any allocated Company Stock with respect to which voting directions are not given shall be voted, and shares of Company Stock held by the Trust which are not then allocated to Participants’ Company Stock Accounts shall be voted in the manner determined by the Plan Administrator. In the event the Company becomes publicly traded, i.e. the Company Stock is required to be registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, each Participant will be entitled to give confidential instructions to the Trustee as to the voting of all shares of Company Stock then allocated to his Company Stock Account (as outlined above) as to all corporate matters requiring a shareholder vote.

6.05 Put Option with Respect to Company Stock. Any Company Stock, if it is not publicly traded, when distributed or is subject to a trading limitation when distributed, must be subject to a put option. The put option is to be exercisable only by the Participant, the Participant’s donees, an Alternate Payee, or by a person (including an estate or its distributee) to whom the Company Stock passes by reason of a Participant’s death. The put option must permit the Participant to put the Company Stock to the Employer. The put option must be exercisable during the sixty (60) consecutive days beginning on the date that the Company Stock subject to the put option is distributed by the Plan, and for another sixty (60) consecutive days during the Plan Year next following the Plan Year in which the shares were distributed. The put option may be exercised by the holder by notifying the Employer in writing that the put option is being exercised. The period during which a put option is exercisable does not include any period when a distributee is unable to exercise it because the party bound by the put option is prohibited from honoring it by applicable federal or state law. The price at which the put option is exercisable is the fair market value of the Company Stock on the date of the transaction determined in good faith based on all relevant factors.

Payment pursuant to the put option shall be made: (1) in the case of distribution of the Participant’s entire Account within one taxable year of the recipient, no less rapidly than in substantially equal installments at least annually over a period beginning no later than thirty (30) days after the exercise of the put option and not exceeding five (5) years in all; adequate security shall be provided and reasonable interest shall be paid on any installments outstanding after thirty (30) days after exercise of the put option; and (2) in the case of any other form of distribution not described in the directly preceding clause (1) of this paragraph in this Section 6.05, within thirty (30) days of the exercise of the put option. Notwithstanding the preceding, payment pursuant to the put option may be extended to a date no later than ten (10) years after the earlier of the date the put option is exercised or the date of final repayment of any debt incurred in connection with the acquisition of the Company Stock. The provisions described in this Section 6.05 are nonterminable even if the Exempt Loan is repaid or the Plan ceases to be an employee stock ownership plan, or the custodian or trustee of an individual retirement account described in Code section 408(a) established by the Participant or his surviving spouse.

6.06 Exempt Loan to Purchase Company Stock; Certain Conditions Applicable to Such Company Stock. It is the express purpose of this Plan and its related Trust Agreement to invest substantial sums in Company Stock for the benefit of Participants in the Plan. Pursuant to this purpose, it is contemplated that the Trustee will from time to time, upon the direction of the Plan Administrator, borrow funds either through installment purchase contract, loan agreement or other

instrument of indebtedness (Exempt Loan) in order to purchase Company Stock with such indebtedness either guaranteed by the Employer or one or more Affiliated Companies or made directly from the Employer or one or more Affiliated Companies to the Trust.

6.06(1) Use of Proceeds. All proceeds of such an Exempt Loan shall be used within a reasonable time after receipt by the Trustee only for any or all of the following purposes: to purchase Company Stock, to repay obligations incurred under the Exempt Loan or to repay a prior Exempt Loan.

6.06(2) Non-Recourse Loans Only. Any Exempt Loan must be without recourse as against the Plan and the Trust.

6.06(3) Collateral. The only assets of the Plan and Trust which may be given as collateral for an Exempt Loan are shares of Company Stock acquired with the proceeds of the Exempt Loan and those shares of Company Stock that were used as collateral on a prior Exempt Loan repaid with the proceeds of the current Exempt Loan.

6.06(4) Creditor’s Rights to Assets. No person entitled to payment under the Exempt Loan shall have any right to assets of the Plan or Trust other than collateral given for the Exempt Loan, contributions (other than contributions of Company Stock) that are made under the Plan to meet the Plan’s obligations under the Exempt Loan, and earnings attributable to such collateral and the investment of such contributions.

6.06(5) Transfers Upon Default. In the event of default upon an Exempt Loan, the value of Plan assets transferred in satisfaction of the Exempt Loan must not exceed the amount of default. If the lender is a “disqualified person,” the Exempt Loan must provide for a transfer of Plan assets upon default only upon and to the extent of the failure of the Plan to meet the repayment schedule of the Exempt Loan.

6.06(6) Interest. The interest rate of any Exempt Loan described herein must not be in excess of a reasonable rate of interest. In determining what is a reasonable rate of interest, all relevant factors will be considered, including the amount and duration of the loan, the security and guarantee (if any) involved, the credit standing of the Plan and Trust and the guarantor (if any), and the interest rate prevailing for comparable loans. A variable interest rate is permissible if determined to be reasonable.

6.06(7) Release from Collateral or Suspense. The instrument evidencing the indebtedness shall provide for release from collateral or suspense in accordance with the provisions of Subsection 5.05(2) of the Plan.

6.06(8) Limitation or Restrictions on Company Stock; Right of First Refusal. Except as provided herein or in Section 6.05, no Company Stock acquired with the proceeds of an Exempt Loan may be subject to a put, call, or other option, or buy-sell or similar arrangement while held by and when distributed from the Plan or its related Trust, whether or not the Plan is then an “Plan” within the ambit of Section 54.4975-7(b)(1)(i) of the Treasury Regulations, unless specifically required or permitted by such regulations. A holder (“Shareholder”) of shares of Company Stock which have been distributed by the Trustee, may not, for valuable consideration, sell, assign, pledge, convey in trust, or otherwise transfer or encumber in any manner or by any means whatever

(“Transfer”) any interest in all or any part of Company Stock held by him except in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Subsection 6.06(8), if at the time of such Transfer the Company Stock is not publicly traded. Provided, however, “Transfer” shall not include any transfer of such shares by reason of a Participant’s death, any transfer to an Alternate Payee, or the transfer by a Participant or his surviving spouse of the shares to an individual retirement account, described in Code section 408(a), in a transaction described in Code section 402(c). Upon the receipt of the Notice described below, the Company shall have the first option to purchase the shares to be Transferred by the Shareholder, and, if that option is not exercised in full by the Company, then Trustee shall have the option to purchase shares not purchased by the Company. Prior to any proposed Transfer, the Shareholder must first give written notice (“Notice”) to the Plan Administrator that he intends to Transfer his shares of Company Stock or any interest therein, which Notice shall state the number of shares to be transferred, the name of the proposed transferee, the consideration for the proposed Transfer, and the terms and conditions of the Transfer. The Shareholder shall also submit with the Notice copies of all papers and other documents to be used in connection with the proposed Transfer. Any deviation in the terms of such Transfer, however slight, shall require a new Notice thereby effecting a new option under this Subsection 6.06(8).

The Company must exercise its option to purchase, as to all or a portion of the shares offered, within fourteen (14) days of receipt of the Notice. If the Company fails to exercise its option as to any or all of the shares, then the Trustee (as directed by the Plan Administrator) shall be entitled to act upon its option to purchase within that same fourteen (14) day period. Options shall be exercised in the form of written notice of exercise to the Shareholder or his legal representative within the designated period.

If the option is not exercised in full by the Company, the Trustee, or both, within fourteen (14) days after Notice, the unexercised part of the option shall lapse, and then the proposed Transfer (if to a transferee other than the Company or Trustee) must be completed within ninety (90) days following the end of the period for exercise, but only upon the same terms and at a price which is no less than that set forth in the Notice. Any such permitted Transfer, however, shall be conditioned upon the proposed transferee executing such documents as counsel for the Company may reasonably request which evidences the transferee’s agreement to abide by the terms and provisions of this Subsection 6.06(8) concerning the shares, or any interest therein proposed to be acquired, and to agree to any legending of certificates and to any restrictions on transferability as the Company may reasonably require to ensure compliance with federal or state securities laws.

In exercising an option to purchase, the Company, Trustee, or both, as the case may be, must purchase pursuant to the terms of the Notice and at the greater of the fair market value such shares of Company Stock or the price specified in the Notice. The terms of the payment of the purchase price shall in no event be less favorable than the terms of an independent third-party offer.

6.06(9) Limitations on Payments. The payments made during any Plan Year with respect to an Exempt Loan described herein may not exceed an amount equal to the sum of (1) the Matching Contributions, plus (2) the Discretionary Contributions, plus (3) earnings received during or previous to the current Plan Year less payments previously made with respect to such loan, plus (4) any dividends received by the Trust on Company Stock purchased with the proceeds of an

Exempt Loan. The Employer Contributions and earnings described herein must be accounted for separately on the books of account of the Plan and Trust until any Exempt Loan is repaid, as is provided in the other provisions of Article 5 of this Plan.

6.06(10) Term of Exempt Loans. Any Exempt Loan made by the Plan or Trust for the purpose of purchasing Company Stock must be for a specific term and may not be payable on the demand of any person, except in the case of default.

6.07 Diversification of Participant’s Account. This Section shall apply to the extent a Participant’s Account is credited with Company Stock (“Eligible Assets”). A Participant who has attained age fifty-five (55) and who has completed ten (10) or more years of participation in the Plan (“Eligible Age 55 Participant”) may elect to have twenty-five percent (25%) of the Eligible Assets then in his Account (and if in Company Stock, after converting such Company Stock into cash at the Company Stock’s current fair market value) transferred to the ClubCorp Individual Investment Plan (“IIP”). Such an election shall be permitted each year during the period of ninety (90) days after the close of each Plan Year in a period of six (6) consecutive Plan Years beginning with the Plan Year during which the Participant first becomes an Eligible Age 55 Participant. Participation for this purpose does not include any Years of Service prior to establishment of the Plan or participation in any other plan. When an Eligible Age 55 Participant has made such an election, the Eligible Assets to be converted and transferred shall be so converted and transferred from the Eligible Age 55 Participant’s Accounts in the following order, bringing each Account balance to zero before converting and transferring the next Account’s balance: (1) After-Tax Contribution Account, (2) Pre-Tax Contribution Account, (3) Employer Divestiture Account, and (4) Employer Contribution Account. During the last such election period, an Eligible Age 55 Participant may elect to convert and transfer fifty percent (50%) of the Eligible Assets in his Account, taking into account all assets as to which he has previously made an election at the fair market value of such assets at the time a prior election is made. To the extent that a Participant makes an election under this Section 6.07, the portion of the Eligible Assets in the Participant’s Account that is subject to the election shall, subject to Section 6.06 hereof, be converted and transferred to the IIP no later than ninety (90) days after the end of the election period.

6.08 Emergency Valuation. Subject to Section 6.01(2), it is contemplated that the Trust will be valued by the Trustee and allocations made as of each Allocation Date. However, should the Plan Administrator in good faith determine that, because of an extraordinary change in general economic conditions or the occurrence of an event radically affecting the value of all or a substantial part of the Trust, an abnormal fluctuation in the value of the Trust has occurred since the end of the preceding Plan Year, and that it has become necessary to make a distribution to one (1) or more Participants, Beneficiaries, or Alternate Payees under the provisions hereof, the Plan Administrator may, in its sole discretion, to prevent any such person from receiving a substantially greater or lesser amount than what he would be entitled to, based on the current value of the Trust (as defined in ERISA Section 3(26)), cause a revaluation of the Trust to be made and a reallocation of the interests therein as of the date such person’s right of distribution becomes fixed. The Plan Administrator’s determination to make such emergency valuation and the valuation of the Trust as determined by the Trustee (or in the case of Company Stock, by the independent appraiser selected by the Plan Administrator) shall be conclusive and binding on all persons ever interested hereunder.

ARTICLE 7. - RETIREMENT BENEFITS

A Participant’s Employer Contribution Account shall fully vest on his Normal Retirement Date, provided such Participant is employed by an Affiliated Company on such date. A Participant who continues in the Employer’s employment after his Normal Retirement Date shall continue to be a Participant in the Plan until his actual retirement. Upon actual retirement on or after his Normal Retirement Date, a Participant shall be entitled to receive distribution of the balance of his entire Account as of the Allocation Date coinciding with or immediately following the date on which such Participant retires. Payment upon retirement shall be made by the Trustee at the direction of the Plan Administrator at the time and manner provided in Article 11.

ARTICLE 8. - DISABILITY BENEFITS

8.01 Disability Retirement. If a Participant retires by reason of Disability while in the employ of an Affiliated Company or on Leave of Absence, his Employer Contribution Account shall fully vest and he shall be entitled to receive distribution of the balance of his entire Account as of the Allocation Date coinciding with or immediately following the date on which such Participant retires. Payments resulting from a Participant’s retirement on account of Disability shall be made by the Trustee at the direction of the Plan Administrator at the time and in the manner provided in Article 11.

8.02 Determination of Disability. The Plan Administrator shall determine whether a Participant has suffered a Disability, and its determination in that respect is binding upon the Participant, provided that the Plan Administrator may rely upon professional medical advice in making such determination. In making its determination, the Plan Administrator may require the Participant to submit to medical examinations by doctors selected by the Plan Administrator. The provisions of this Article 8 shall be uniformly and consistently applied to all Participants.

ARTICLE 9. - DEATH BENEFITS

9.01 Death Benefits. Upon the death of a Participant while in the employ of an Affiliated Company or on Leave of Absence, his Employer Contribution Account shall fully vest and his Beneficiary, determined in accordance with Section 9.02, shall be entitled to receive distribution of the balance of his entire Account as of the Allocation Date coinciding with or immediately following such Participant’s date of death, provided proper proof of death is filed with the Plan Administrator.

Upon the death of a Participant who is no longer employed by an Affiliated Company prior to receipt by such Participant of all amounts to which such Participant is entitled under the provisions of the Plan, his Beneficiary, determined in accordance with Section 9.02, shall be entitled to receive distribution of the undistributed balance of such Participant’s Account, to the extent otherwise vested, as of the Allocation Date coinciding with or immediately following such Participant’s date of death, provided proper proof of death is filed with the Plan Administrator.

Payments resulting from the death of a Participant shall be made by the Trustee at the direction of the Plan Administrator at the time and in the manner provided in Article 11.

9.02 Designation of Beneficiaries.

9.02(1) Subject to the provisions of Subsections 9.02(2) and 12.03(2), each Participant may designate a Beneficiary or Beneficiaries, and contingent Beneficiary or Beneficiaries, if desired, including the executor or administrator of his estate, to receive his interest in the Trust Fund in the event of his death, but the designation of a Beneficiary shall not be effective for any purpose unless and until it has been filed with the Plan Administrator on the form provided therefor. If the Participant has a surviving spouse, the amount, if any, which is payable hereunder in respect of such deceased Participant shall be paid to the surviving spouse unless the Participant is survived by a Beneficiary designated in accordance with Subsection 9.02(2). If the Participant does not have a surviving spouse and the deceased Participant failed to name a Beneficiary in the manner herein prescribed, or the Beneficiary or all Beneficiaries so named predecease the Participant, the amount, if any, which is payable hereunder in respect of such deceased Participant shall be paid to the estate of such deceased Participant, in the form of a lump sum payment as soon as practicable following the Participant’s death. Any payment made to any person pursuant to the power and discretion conferred upon the Plan Administrator by the preceding sentence shall operate as a complete discharge of all obligations under the Plan in respect of such deceased Participant and shall not be subject to review by anyone, but shall be final, binding, and conclusive on all persons ever interested hereunder.

Subject to the provisions of Subsection 9.02(2), a Participant may from time to time change any Beneficiary designated by him without notice to such Beneficiary, under such rules and regulations as the Plan Administrator may from time to time promulgate, but the last Beneficiary designation filed with the Plan Administrator shall control.

9.02(2) Notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, but subject to the provisions of Subsection 12.03(2), if, as of such Participant’s death, such Participant is married, the vested portion of such Participant’s Accounts shall, on his death, be paid to the surviving spouse

to whom he was married at the date of his death unless the surviving spouse has made a Qualified Consent to the payment of any or all of said Accounts to a designated Beneficiary other than the surviving spouse. “Qualified Consent” means an irrevocable written consent executed by the Participant’s spouse which acknowledges the effect of the consent and is witnessed by a Plan representative or a notary public. A Participant may, after obtaining a Qualified Consent, change his Beneficiary designation as permitted by Subsection 9.02(1), but any such change is subject to the requirements of this Subsection 9.02(2) and will require another Qualified Consent should the spouse, if surviving, not be the sole Beneficiary of all amounts in the Account, unless a Qualified Consent previously executed by such spouse expressly authorizes changes in the Beneficiary without further consent of the spouse. A Qualified Consent is effective only with respect to the spouse who executes it. If the Plan Administrator is satisfied that there is no spouse, or that the spouse cannot reasonably be located, or in such other circumstances as permitted by Treasury Regulations, no Qualified Consent shall be required as a condition to payment, under Section 9.01, to a Beneficiary who is not the surviving spouse.

ARTICLE 10. - EMPLOYMENT TERMINATION BENEFITS

10.01 Vesting upon Termination of Employment. Subject to the provisions of Section 10.03 and Subsection 12.03(2), with regard to Matching Contributions made with respect to payroll periods beginning before January 1, 2002 and with regard to all Discretionary Contributions regardless of when made, in the event of the Termination of Employment of a Participant, such Participant shall be entitled to receive distribution of the following percentage of his Employer Contribution Account:

Subject to the provisions of Section 10.03 and Subsection 12.03(2), with regard to Matching Contributions made with respect to payroll periods beginning on or after January 1, 2002, in the event of the Termination of Employment of a Participant, such Participant shall be entitled to receive distribution of the following percentage of his Employer Contribution Account attributable to Matching Contributions made on or after January 1, 2002:

10.02 Determination of Vesting Years of Service. All Vesting Years of Service (whether or not continuous) shall be taken into account.

10.03 Vesting on Divestiture of an Employer. If an Employer ceases to be an Affiliated Company as a result of a divestiture by the Company, the Accounts of Participants who are Employees of the divested Employer as of the date of the divestiture shall become one hundred percent (100%) vested as of that date. If a Participant who is an Employee of a divested Employer transfers to employment with another Employer, an Employer Divestiture Account shall be established for the Participant and the fully vested balance in the Participant’s Account shall be transferred to the Employer Divestiture Account. Full vesting pursuant to this Section shall not affect the vesting of any Matching Contributions made for such Participant subsequent to the divestiture. Following such Participant’s transfer, all subsequent Matching Contributions allocated to the Participant shall be allocated to the Participant’s Company Stock Account and shall be subject to the provisions of this Plan otherwise applicable to the Participant.

Any adjustments provided for in Article 6 shall be made separately with respect to such Participant’s Employer Divestiture Account and his Employer Contribution Account, and distribution of a Participant’s Employer Divestiture Account shall be made at the same time and in the same manner as provided in the Plan for the distribution of a Participant’s other Accounts in the Plan.

10.04 Forfeiture of Employer Contribution Account.

10.04(1) If a Participant has a Termination of Employment at a time when he has no vested interest in his Employer Contribution Account, the non-vested amount in his Employer Contribution Account shall be forfeited as of the date on which such Participant incurs such Termination of Employment.

10.04(2) If a partially vested Participant has a Termination of Employment and has received a distribution of the vested portion of his Employer Contribution Account and his entire After-Tax Contribution Account, Pre-Tax Contribution Account and Employer Divesture Account, if any, the non-vested amounts in his Employer Contribution Account shall be forfeited as of the date on which such Participant receives such cash-out distribution.

10.04(3) If a partially vested Participant has a Termination of Employment and has not received a distribution of the vested portion of his Employer Contribution Account and his entire After-Tax Contribution Account, Pre-Tax Contribution Account and Employer Divesture Account, if any, the non-vested amounts in his Employer Contribution Account shall be forfeited as of the last day of the Plan Year in which such Participant has incurred five (5) consecutive One-Year Breaks in Service.

10.04(4) If a partially vested Participant who has a Termination of Employment and has not received a distribution of the vested portion of his Employer Contribution Account, and his entire After-Tax Contribution Account and Pre-Tax Contribution, is reemployed prior to incurring five (5) consecutive One-Year Breaks in Service, such Participant shall not forfeit the non-vested amounts in his Employer Contribution Account, and the vested amount in his Employer Contribution Account shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of this Article 10 without regard to such Participant’s Termination of Employment.

10.04(5) In the case of any Participant who receives a refund of Excess Contributions pursuant to Subsection 4.05(3)(b) for the Plan Year, such Participant shall forfeit for such Plan Year all Matching Contributions (whether or not vested pursuant to Section 10.01) which relate to and were made on account of amounts refunded under Subsection 4.05(3)(b).

10.04(6) All amounts forfeited as provided in this Section 10.04 and Sections 4.05 and 4.07 are herein referred to as “Forfeitures.” Forfeitures shall first be applied to fund any restorations of Forfeitures pursuant to Section 10.05 or 12.06, then shall be applied to pay administrative expenses, and then shall be applied to reduce each Employer’s Contributions in the proportion that each such Employer’s Contribution for such Plan Year bears to the total of all Employers’ Contributions for such Plan Year.

10.05 Restoration of Forfeited Accounts.

10.05(1) In the event a Participant who has forfeited all or part of his Employer Contribution Account as described in Section 10.04, is reemployed by an Employer prior to the date on which such Participant has incurred five (5) consecutive One-Year Breaks in Service, an amount equal to the value of the forfeited portion of his Employer Contribution Account without adjustment for any gains or losses in the Trust Fund subsequent to the date of such Forfeiture) plus any amount repaid by the Participant (as hereinafter provided) shall be restored to such Participant’s Employer Contribution Account, as appropriate; provided, however, that if such Participant received a distribution, such restoration shall not occur unless and until: (i) such Participant repays to the Plan the full amount of his distribution and (ii) such Participant’s repayment is made before the end of the five (5) year period beginning with the Participant’s Reemployment Date. Upon the restoration of an Employer Contribution Account as provided for herein above, the vested amount in such Employer Contribution Account (whether attributable to amounts restored or additional amounts added to such accounts after such reemployment) shall thereafter be determined in accordance with the provisions of this Article 10 without regard to such Participant’s original Termination of Employment.

10.05(2) The restoration of a Participant’s Employer Contribution Account as provided for in Subsection 10.05(1), shall be made from the Forfeitures which occurred during the Plan Year of such restoration before any use of such Forfeitures as otherwise provided in Subsection 10.04(5). Should such Forfeitures be insufficient to restore the aggregate non-vested amounts owing to any Participant under Subsection 10.05(1), the additional amount necessary for restoration shall be contributed by the Employer employing such Participant as a special contribution to be specially allocated to the Participant’s Employer Contribution Account, as appropriate.

ARTICLE 11. - PAYMENT OF BENEFITS

11.01 Method of Payment.

Upon a Participant’s: (i) retirement on or after his Normal Retirement Date; (ii) retirement due to Disability; (iii) death; or (iv) Termination of Employment (subject to Section 4.09); (v) the disposition, to a corporation that is not an Affiliated Company of substantially all of the assets used by the Employer in a trade or business of the Employer as provided in Treasury Regulations, or as otherwise permitted pursuant to Revenue Ruling 2000-27, but only if the Participant continues employment with the transferee corporation, the Employer continues to maintain the Plan and the distribution is in connection with the disposition that causes the Participant’s employment transfer. He or his Beneficiary shall be entitled to payment in an amount determined in accordance with the provisions of Article 7, 8, 9 or 10. Benefits under this Plan will be paid only if the Plan Administrator decides in his discretion that the applicant is entitled to them. All distributions shall be either solely in cash or solely in whole shares of Company Stock (with the value of any fractional share paid in cash) to the extent such Participant’s Account is invested in Company Stock (but not both) as elected by the Participant or his Beneficiary. The amount to which a Participant is entitled shall be paid to him or his Beneficiary or to an Alternate Payee in a single lump sum cash distribution.

A Participant’s Pre-Tax Contributions, Qualified Nonelective 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.

11.02 Time for Distribution of Benefits. Distribution shall occur in accordance with the following provisions:

11.02(1) Subject to the provisions of this Section 11.02 and Sections 11.01 and 11.03, if a Participant or his Beneficiary is entitled to a distribution pursuant to Article 7, 8, 9, or 10, unless the Participant elects to defer distribution to a later time permitted by Section 11.03, such amounts shall be distributed in a single cash lump sum as soon as administratively possible after the Allocation Date coinciding with or immediately following the date of such Participant’s retirement on or after his Normal Retirement Date, retirement due to total and permanent Disability, death or Termination of Employment, but in no event later than the sixtieth (60th) day after the close of the Plan Year in which occurs the latest of:

(a) The date on which the Participant attains or would have attained sixty-five (65) years of age;

(b) The tenth (10th) anniversary of the year in which the Participant commenced participation in the Plan; or

11.02(2) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan to the contrary, if actual distribution pursuant to Subsection 11.02(1) is delayed for any reason to or beyond the Allocation Date next following the Allocation Date upon which the amount of such distribution was to be based, the distribution shall be based on the balance of the Participant’s Accounts as of the Allocation Date coinciding with or immediately preceding the date on which such distribution is made.

11.02(3) Notwithstanding the provisions of Subsection 11.02(1), and subject to Section 11.03, if a Participant has a Termination of Employment or retires due to Disability and his vested Account at such time exceeds Five Thousand ($5,000), the amounts owing to such Participant shall be distributed in a single lump sum as soon as administratively possible after such Participant attains age sixty-five (65) or dies, unless such Participant has delivered to the Plan Administrator his consent, in such form as prescribed by the Plan Administrator, to a distribution at an earlier time.

11.02(4) If, upon Termination of Employment for any reason, or, when distributions are required to commence to a Participant pursuant to Subsection 11.03(1), the value of the vested portion of a Participant’s Account is Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000) or less and has never at any time prior exceeded Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000), then his Account shall be paid to or for the benefit of the Participant, or in the case of his death, to or for the benefit of his Beneficiary or Beneficiaries, as a lump sum payment as soon as administratively feasible.

11.03 Limitations on Timing. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, distributions must occur at least as rapidly as required under this Section 11.03.

11.03(1) Distribution of a Participant’s entire interest in the Plan shall commence to be distributed to him no later than the Required Beginning Date, and at the Participant’s election shall be fully distributed in a lump sum, based on the balance in his Account as of the Allocation Date coinciding with or immediately preceding the Required Beginning Date.

11.03(2) In the event of the death of a Participant prior to distribution of his benefits under the Plan, distribution of such deceased Participant’s entire interest under the Plan shall be made within five (5) years after the death of such Participant.

11.03(3) Notwithstanding any plan provision herein to the contrary with respect to distributions made 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 thereunder, that were proposed on January 12, 2001. This provision shall continue in effect until the last day 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 published by the Internal Revenue Service.

11.03(4) In the event a Participant dies after benefit payments to such Participant have commenced under the Plan, the benefits, if any, to which such deceased Participant’s Beneficiary is entitled under the method of payment in effect at the time of such Participant’s death shall be distributed at least as rapidly as under such method of payment.

11.04 Restrictions on Distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Article 11, the Plan shall not distribute any Company Stock acquired with the proceeds of an Exempt Loan until the close of the Plan Year in which such Exempt Loan has been repaid in full.

11.05 Payments on Personal Receipt Except in Case of Legal Disability. All payments to any Participant, Beneficiary or Alternate Payee from the Trust Fund shall be made to the recipient entitled thereto in person or upon his personal receipt, in a form satisfactory to the Plan Administrator, except when the recipient entitled thereto shall be under a legal disability, or, in the sole judgment of the Plan Administrator, shall otherwise be unable to apply such payments in furtherance of his own interests and advantage. The Plan Administrator may, in such event, in its sole discretion, direct all or any portion of such payments to be made in any one or more of the following ways: (i) directly to such person, (ii) to the guardian of his person or of his estate, even though appointed by a court other than a Texas state court, (iii) to his spouse or to any other person, to be expended for his benefit, or (iv) to a custodian under any applicable Uniform Gifts to Minors Act or Uniform Transfers to Minors Act. The decision of the Plan Administrator, in each case, will be final, binding and conclusive upon all persons ever interested hereunder, and the Plan Administrator shall not be obliged to see to the proper application or expenditure of any payments so made. Any payment made pursuant to the power herein conferred upon the Plan Administrator shall operate as a complete discharge of all obligations of the Trustee and the Plan Administrator, to the extent of the amounts so paid.

11.06 Benefits Payable Pursuant to a Qualified Domestic Relations Order. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, immediate distribution of benefits payable to an Alternate Payee pursuant to a Qualified Domestic Relations Order shall be permitted even though the Participant whose benefits have been assigned to the Alternate Payee would not be entitled to receive a distribution at such time, if all of the following requirements are met: (i) the Participant’s Account is one hundred percent (100%) vested; (ii) the entire amount payable to the Alternate Payee does not exceed Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000), or the Alternate Payee has requested immediate distribution in such form as prescribed by the Plan Administrator; (iii) allocation pursuant to Section 6.04 of all amounts required to be paid to the Alternate Payee has been completed; (iv) the Qualified Domestic Relations Order requires or permits immediate distribution; and (v) the conditions of Subsection 11.01(1) as to form of payment are met.

In the event an Alternate Payee dies prior to distribution of the amounts payable to the Alternate Payee pursuant to the Qualified Domestic Relations Order, the amount payable shall be distributed as provided in the Qualified Domestic Relations Order. If the Qualified Domestic Relations Order does not specify how such amounts are to be distributed in the event of the Alternate Payee’s death, the Plan Administrator shall cause such amounts to be distributed to a Beneficiary designated by the Alternate Payee or if no Beneficiary has been designated, in accordance with Subsection 9.02(1) (by substituting Alternate Payee for Participant whenever such term appears in that Section).

11.07 Direct Rollovers.

11.07(1) Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary that would otherwise limit a Distributee from making an 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 to the extent that such Eligible Rollover Distribution is at least $200 (or is reasonably expected to total at least $200 when aggregated with other distributions during the Plan Year from this Plan). The procedures prescribed by the Plan Administrator may include a deadline for making such an election and may require the Distributee to furnish adequate information regarding the

Eligible Retirement Plan specified by the Participant in a Direct Rollover. Such procedures may also require the Direct Rollover of at least $500 as a condition of permitting Direct Rollover of less than the total distribution and may limit Participants to a single Direct Rollover.

11.07(2) Definitions.

(a) Eligible Rollover Distribution. An Eligible Rollover Distribution is any distribution of all or any portion of the balance to the credit of the Distributee, except that an Eligible Rollover Distribution does not include: any distribution that is one of a series of substantially equal periodic payments (not less frequently than annually) made for the life (or life expectancy) of the Distributee or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the Participant and the Distributee’s designated beneficiary, or for a specified period of ten years or more; any distribution to the extent such distribution is required under Code section 401(a)(9); the portion of any distribution that is not includable in gross income (determined without regard to the exclusion for net unrealized appreciation with respect to employer securities); any hardship distribution described in Section 401(k)(2)(B)(i)(IV) of the Code.

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.

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

(b) Eligible Retirement Plan. An “Eligible Retirement Plan” is an individual retirement account described in Code section 408(a), an individual retirement annuity described in Code section 408(b), an annuity plan described in Code section 403(a), or a qualified trust described in Code section 401(a) that accepts the distributees Eligible Rollover Distribution. However, in the case of an Eligible Rollover Distribution to the surviving spouse, an Eligible Retirement Plan is an individual retirement account or individual retirement annuity.

An Eligible Retirement Plan shall also mean an annuity contract described in section 403(b) of the Code and an eligible plan under section 457(b) of the Code which is maintained by a state, political subdivision of a state, or any agency or instrumentality of a state or political subdivision of a state and which agrees to separately account for amounts transferred into such plan from this Plan. The definition of Eligible Retirement Plan shall also apply in the case of a distribution to a surviving spouse, or to a spouse or former spouse who is the alternate payee under a qualified domestic relation order, as defined in section 414(p) of the Code.

(c) Distributee. A “Distributee” includes an Employee or former Employee. In addition, the Employee’s or former Employee’s surviving spouse and the Employee’s or former Employee’s spouse or former spouse who is the alternate payee under a qualified domestic relations order, as defined in Code section 414(p), are Distributees with regard to the interest of the spouse of former spouse.

(d) Direct Rollover. A “Direct Rollover” is a payment by the Plan to the Eligible Retirement Plan specified by the Distributee.

11.07(3) Such distribution may commence less than thirty (30) days but no less than seven (7) days after the notice required under Treasury Regulations Sections 1.411(a)-11(c) is given, provided that:

(e) the Plan Administrator clearly informs the participant that the participant has a right to a period of at least thirty (30) days after receiving the notice to consider the decision of whether or not to elect a distribution (and, if applicable, a particular distribution option), and

(f) the Participant, after receiving the notice, affirmatively elects a distribution.

ARTICLE 12. - MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS RESPECTING PARTICIPANTS

12.01 Participants to Furnish Required Information.

12.01(1) Each Participant shall furnish to the Plan Administrator such information as the Plan Administrator considers necessary or desirable for purposes of administering the Plan, and the provisions of the Plan respecting any payments hereunder are conditional upon the Participant’s furnishing promptly such true, full, and complete information as the Plan Administrator may reasonably request.

12.01(2) Each Participant shall submit proof of such Participant’s age to the Plan Administrator. The Plan Administrator shall, if such proof of age is not submitted as required, use as conclusive evidence thereof, such information as is deemed by it to be reliable, regardless of the source of such information. Any adjustment required by reason of lack of proof or the misstatement of the age of persons entitled to benefits hereunder, by the Participant or otherwise, shall be in such manner as the Plan Administrator deems equitable.

12.03(3) Any election, notice, or information which according to the terms of the Plan or the rules of the Plan Administrator must be filed with the Plan Administrator, shall be deemed so filed if addressed and either delivered in person, delivered by electronic transmission, or mailed, postage fully prepaid, to the Plan Administrator. Whenever a provision herein requires that a Participant (or the Participant’s Beneficiary) give notice to the Plan Administrator or make an election within a specified number of days or by a certain date, and the last day of such period, or such date, falls on a Saturday, Sunday or Employer holiday, the Participant (or the Participant’s Beneficiary) will be deemed in compliance with such provision if notice is delivered in person to the Plan Administrator, delivered by electronic transmission, or is mailed, properly addressed, postage prepaid, and postmarked on or before the business day next following such Saturday, Sunday or Employer holiday. The Plan Administrator may, in its sole discretion, modify or waive any specified notice requirement; provided, however, that such modification or waiver must be administratively feasible, must be in the best interest of the Participant, and must be made on the basis of the rules of the Plan Administrator which are applied uniformly to all Participants.

12.02 Participants’ Rights in Trust Fund. No Participant or other person shall have any right, title or interest in, to or under the Trust Fund, or any part of the assets thereof, except and to the extent expressly provided in the Plan.

12.03 Inalienability of Benefits.

12.03(1) Restrictions on Assignment. The benefits provided hereunder are intended for the personal security of persons entitled to payment under the Plan, and are not subject in any manner to the debts or other obligations of the persons to whom they are payable. The interest of a Participant or such Participant’s Beneficiary or Beneficiaries may not be sold, transferred, assigned, or encumbered in any manner, either voluntarily or involuntarily, and any attempt so to anticipate, alienate, sell, transfer, assign, pledge, encumber, or charge the same shall be null and void; neither shall the Trust Fund nor any benefits thereunder or hereunder be liable for or subject to the debts, contracts, liabilities, engagements, or torts of any person to whom such benefits or funds

are payable, nor shall they be subject to garnishment, attachment, or other legal or equitable process nor shall they be an asset in bankruptcy. All of the provisions of this Section 12.03, however, are subject to Section 11.03, to withholding of any applicable taxes and to assignments permitted by Code section 401(a)(13).

12.03(2) Exception for Benefit Payable pursuant to a Qualified Domestic Relations Order.

(a) The prohibitions contained in Subsection 12.03(1) shall 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.

(b) The Plan Administrator shall establish written procedures for the determination of the qualified status of a domestic relations order.

(c) Upon receiving a domestic relations order, the Plan Administrator shall notify the Participant and Alternate Payee named in the order, in writing, of the receipt of the order and the Plan’s procedures for determining the qualified status of the order. Within a reasonable period of time after receiving the domestic relations order, the Plan Administrator shall determine the qualified status of the order and shall notify the Participant and the Alternate Payee, in writing, of its determination. The Plan Administrator shall provide notice under this paragraph by mailing such notice to the individual’s address specified in the domestic relations order, or in a manner consistent with Department of Labor regulations.

(d) During any period in which the issue of whether a domestic relations order is a Qualified Domestic Relations Order is being determined, notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, the Plan Administrator shall segregate in a separate account the amounts which would have been payable during such period to an Alternate Payee pursuant to a Qualified Domestic Relations Order, if such order had been determined to be a Qualified Domestic Relations Order. During the period such amounts are segregated in a separate account under the Plan, such amounts shall remain subject to the general investment provisions of the Plan. If within the eighteen (18) month period beginning with the date on which the first payment would be required to be made under such domestic relations order, the domestic relations order is determined to be a Qualified Domestic Relations Order, the Plan Administrator shall direct the Trustee to distribute to the Alternate Payee the segregated amounts including any earnings and appreciation (or losses and depreciation) thereon in accordance with Section 11.05 and such domestic relations order. However, if within such eighteen (18) month period, it is determined that such order is not qualified, or the issue of qualification is not resolved, then the Plan Administrator shall pay the segregated amounts, including any earnings and appreciation (or losses and depreciation) thereon, to the person or persons who would have been entitled to such amounts if there had been no such order.

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, all rights and benefits, including rights to make elections or to give directions, provided to a Participant under this Plan shall be subject to the rights, benefits and elections or directions afforded to an Alternate Payee, pursuant to a Qualified Domestic Relations Order, and this Plan shall be interpreted and administered by the Plan Administrator in such manner as to effectuate the provisions of any such Qualified Domestic Relations Order as it relates to the rights, benefits, and elections or directions afforded to such Alternate Payee under such Qualified Domestic Relations Order.

Furthermore, to the extent provided in any such Qualified Domestic Relations Order, a former spouse of a Participant shall be treated as a spouse or surviving spouse for all applicable purposes under the Plan.

The Trustee shall make any payments or distributions required under this Subsection 12.03(2) by separate benefit checks or other separate distribution to the Alternate Payee(s).

12.04 Conditions of Employment Not Affected by Plan. Neither the Plan nor the Trust nor the Trust Agreement shall confer on any Employee, including any Participant, any right to be retained in the service of any Employer, and nothing contained herein or in the Trust Agreement shall be construed in any way to limit or restrict the right of any Employer to discharge any Employee, regardless of whether such Employee is a Participant, or to change such Employee’s position or the basis or amount of such Employee’s compensation.

12.05 Address for Mailing of Benefits.

12.05(1) Each Participant and each other person entitled to benefits hereunder shall file with the Plan Administrator from time to time in such form as prescribed by the Plan Administrator such Participant’s post office address and each change of address. Any check representing payment hereunder and any communication addressed to a Participant, an Employee, or Beneficiary, at such person’s last address filed with the Plan Administrator, or if no such address has been filed, then at such person’s last address as indicated on the records of an Employer, shall be deemed to have been delivered to such person on the date on which such check or communication is deposited, postage prepaid, in the United States mail.

12.05(2) If the Plan Administrator is in doubt as to whether payments are being received by the person entitled thereto, it shall, by registered mail addressed to the person concerned, at his address last known to the Plan Administrator, notify such person that all unmailed and future payments shall be withheld until he provides the Plan Administrator with a sworn statement, properly notarized, evidencing his continued life and his proper mailing address.

12.06 Unclaimed Account Procedure.

12.06(1) Neither the Trustee nor the Plan Administrator shall be obliged to search for, or ascertain the whereabouts of any Participant, Beneficiary, or Alternate Payee. Upon the return of a distribution check, the Plan Administrator, by certified or registered mail addressed to such Participant’s, Beneficiary’s, or Alternate Payee’s last known address, shall notify the Participant, Beneficiary, or Alternate Payee that such Participant, Beneficiary, or Alternate Payee is entitled to a distribution under this Plan.

12.06(2) Any distribution or payment which is not claimed by the person entitled thereto within six (6) months from the date the certified or registered letter is sent to the individual shall be forfeited. Any distribution check which is not cashed within six (6) months from its date of issuance shall be void and the amount thereof forfeited. Such forfeited amounts shall be added to Forfeitures. Should such person make a claim for such forfeited benefit, at any time prior to termination of the Plan and final distribution thereunder, which is approved by the Plan

Administrator, such benefit shall be restored as follows: An amount equal to the amount previously forfeited (but without interest on such amount for the period from the date of such forfeiture to the date of such restoration) shall be specially allocated from Forfeitures in the current Plan Year for the benefit of such Participant or Beneficiary. Immediately upon allocation to such Participant or Beneficiary, the Plan Administrator shall instruct the Trustee to distribute in a lump sum, directly to such Participant or Beneficiary, the amount specially allocated to such Participant or Beneficiary.

12.06(3) In the event of Plan termination, amounts that were forfeited pursuant to the provisions of Subsection 12.06(2) which exceeded Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000) or were otherwise distributable without Participant consent, shall be considered lost. If the period of time since forfeiture for such lost benefits exceeds the applicable state escheat period, the forfeiture shall become permanent upon Plan termination. All other amounts forfeited pursuant to Subsection 12.06(2) shall be reinstated as of the Plan’s termination date.

12.07 No Rollovers. No rollovers shall be accepted.

ARTICLE 13. - ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN

13.01 Plan Administrator. The administration of the Plan will be the responsibility of the Plan Administrator which shall be the Company.

13.02 Compensated Expenses of the Plan Administrator. The Plan Administrator shall serve without compensation for its services as such, but the reasonable and necessary expenses of the Plan Administrator shall be paid by the Trust Fund unless paid by the Employers as provided in Section 13.15. When, in its discretion, the Plan Administrator, or any Employer, deems it advisable, the Plan Administrator shall be authorized to have the records of the Plan Administrator and the Trustee audited by an independent auditor, and reasonable and necessary expenses thereby incurred shall be paid by the Trust Fund unless paid by the Employers, as provided in Section 13.15.

13.03 Agents of the Plan Administrator. The Plan Administrator may employ such agents and such clerical and other administrative personnel as reasonably may be required for the purpose of administering the Plan. Such administrative personnel shall carry out the duties and responsibilities assigned to them by the Plan Administrator. Reasonable expenses necessarily incurred for such purpose shall be paid by the Trust Fund unless paid by the Employers, as provided in Section 13.15.

13.04 Reliance on Directions of Plan Administrator. The Plan Administrator shall give to the Trustee any order, direction, consent, certificate, or advice required or permitted under the terms of the Plan or Trust Agreement, and the Trustee shall be entitled to rely on, as evidencing the action of the Plan Administrator, any instrument delivered to the Trustee when: (i) if a resolution, it is certified by the Secretary of the Board; or (ii) if a memorandum, it is signed by a person who shall have been authorized to act for the Plan Administrator in respect of the subject matter thereof.

13.05 Authority of Plan Administrator. The Plan Administrator is authorized to take such actions as may be necessary to carry out the provisions and purposes of the Plan and shall have the authority to control and manage the operation and administration of the Plan.

All such actions or determinations made by the Plan Administrator, and the application of rules and regulations to a particular case or issue by the Plan Administrator, in good faith, shall not be subject to review by anyone, but shall be final, binding, and conclusive on all persons ever interested hereunder. In construing the Plan and in exercising its power under provisions requiring Plan Administrator approval, the Plan Administrator shall attempt to ascertain the purpose of the provisions in question and when such purpose is known or reasonably ascertainable, such purpose shall be given effect to the extent feasible. Likewise, the Plan Administrator is authorized to determine all questions with respect to the individual rights of all Participants and their Beneficiaries and Alternate Payees under this Plan, including, but not limited to, all issues with respect to eligibility, Compensation, service, valuation of Accounts, allocation of consolidated contributions and Trust Fund earnings, and retirement or Termination of Employment, and shall direct the Trustee concerning the allocation, payment and distribution of all funds held in

trust for purposes of the Plan. The Plan Administrator, in the exercise of any discretionary powers hereunder, shall not exercise that discretion so as to discriminate in favor of Highly Compensated Employees. The Plan Administrator shall establish investment objectives and monitor, or cause to be monitored, the investment performance of the Trustee or any Investment Manager which may be appointed with respect to any assets of the Plan.

13.06 Authorization of Loan Transactions. Upon directions from the Board, the Plan Administrator shall have the authority to direct the Trustee to borrow funds to purchase Company Stock. Upon directions from the Board, the Plan Administrator shall consult with the Trustee concerning the source of the borrowed funds, the terms of the loan agreement, and the provision of collateral. The Board may empower the Plan Administrator to authorize the guarantee or making by the Company of any such loan. Any loan made by or guaranteed by the Company or which involves a disqualified person (as defined in Section 4975(e)(2) of the Code) shall comply with all applicable requirements of Section 4975(d)(3) of the Code and regulations issued thereunder in order that the extension of credit shall be exempt from excise taxes imposed with respect to prohibited transactions under Section 4975 of the Code and any liability imposed by Section 406 of ERISA.

13.07 General Administrative Powers. The Plan Administrator shall have authority to make, and from time to time, revise, rules and regulations for the administration of the Plan.

13.08 Additional Powers. The Plan Administrator shall exercise such authority and responsibility as it deems appropriate to comply with the provisions of federal law and governmental regulations issued thereunder, including, but not limited to, records of Participants’ service, accrued benefits and the percentage of such benefits which are nonforfeitable under the Plan, notification to Participants, annual registration with the Internal Revenue Service, annual reports to the Department of Labor, and furnishing the Trustee with any directions or information regarding income tax withholding required by law. The Plan Administrator is hereby designated as the agent for service of process unless the Plan Administrator designates another person or entity.

13.09 Duties of Administrative Personnel. Administrative personnel appointed pursuant to Section 13.03, shall be responsible for such matters as the Plan Administrator shall delegate to them by written instrument, including, but not limited to communications to Employees at the direction of the Plan Administrator, reports to the Plan Administrator involving questions of eligibility and the amount of Compensation of Participants, assisting Participants, Beneficiaries and Alternate Payees in the completion of forms prescribed by the Plan Administrator, and maintenance of records concerning terminated vested Participants, Participants who have retired and Beneficiaries. Administrative personnel may not make any decision as to Plan policy, interpretations, practices or procedures unless the authority to make such decisions has been delegated to them in writing by the Plan Administrator and they accept fiduciary responsibilities in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.10. All administrative personnel shall perform their allocated function within the policies, interpretations, rules, practices and procedures established by the Plan Administrator, except that administrative personnel shall coordinate matters related to the Plan with the appropriate departments of each Employer as the Plan Administrator directs.

13.10 Designation of Named Fiduciaries and Allocation of Responsibility. ERISA requires that certain persons, who are deemed to be “fiduciaries,” as defined in ERISA Section 3(21)(A), be designated as “Named Fiduciaries” in the Plan. The Company, the Plan Administrator, and the Trustees are hereby designated Named Fiduciaries. Each Named Fiduciary shall have only the powers, duties and responsibilities specifically allocated to such fiduciary pursuant to the terms of this Plan and the Trust. Each Named Fiduciary may, by written instrument, allocate some or all of its responsibilities to another fiduciary or designate another person to carry out some or all of its fiduciary responsibilities. Each fiduciary under the Plan (including fiduciaries to whom responsibilities are allocated by a Named Fiduciary) will be furnished a copy of the Plan, and their acceptance of such responsibility will be made by agreeing in writing to act in the capacity designated. No Named Fiduciary shall be liable for an act or omission of any person who is allocated a fiduciary responsibility or who is designated to carry out such responsibility by a Named Fiduciary, except to the extent that the Named Fiduciary did not act in accordance with the standards contained in Subsection 13.11(2) with respect to the allocation or designation of a fiduciary duty. Any person or group of persons may serve in more than one (1) fiduciary capacity with respect to the Plan.

13.11 Action by Fiduciaries.

13.11(1) Any action herein permitted or required to be taken by an Employer shall, subject to the provisions of Section 20.07, be by resolution of its Board or by written instrument signed by a person or group of persons who has been authorized by resolution of such Board as having authority to take such action.

13.11(2) Each fiduciary with respect to the Plan shall perform all of his duties and responsibilities and exercise his powers hereunder with the care, skill, prudence, and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing that a prudent man acting in like capacity and familiar with such matters would use in the conduct of an enterprise of like character and with like aims, and no fiduciary shall be liable for any act or failure to act on his part (including reliance on the advice of counsel) which conforms to that standard, unless: (i) he knowingly participates in or knowingly undertakes to conceal an act or omission of another fiduciary of the Plan, with the knowledge that such act or omission is a breach of fiduciary responsibility; (ii) knowing of a breach of fiduciary responsibility, he fails to make reasonable efforts under the circumstances to remedy the breach; or (iii) by failing to carry out his specific responsibilities, in accordance with such standard, he has enabled another fiduciary of the Plan to commit a breach.

13.11(3) Each fiduciary shall furnish or cause to be furnished to each other fiduciary all information needed for the proper performance of its duties. Each fiduciary warrants that any directions given, information furnished or action taken by it shall be in accordance with the provisions of the Plan or the Trust Agreement, as the case may be, authorizing or providing for such direction, information or action.

13.12 Appointment of Professional Assistants and the Investment Manager. A Named Fiduciary may appoint such accountants, counsel, and actuaries and other advisers as it deems necessary or desirable in connection with the administration of the Plan. A Named Fiduciary shall be entitled to rely upon and shall not be liable for any act or failure to act in reliance, on any opinion or reports, which shall be furnished to such Named Fiduciary by any such accountant with respect to accounting matters, counsel in respect to legal matters, or actuary in respect of actuarial matters as long as the Named Fiduciary’s reliance is in accordance with the standard set forth in Subsection 13.11(2). The fees and costs of such services are an administrative expense to the Plan to be paid out of the Trust Fund except to the extent that Employers elect to pay such fees and costs.

13.13 Bond. The Plan Administrator shall see that the appropriate fiduciaries are bonded as required by federal law or regulation. Except as required by the Board or by state or federal statute, irrespective of this provision, no bond or other security shall be required of any fiduciary.

13.14 Indemnification. In the event and to the extent not insured against under any contract of insurance with an insurance company, the Employers shall indemnify and hold harmless each “Indemnified Person” as defined below, against any and all claims, demands, suits, proceedings, losses, damages, interest, penalties, expenses, (specifically including, but not limited to reasonable counsel fees, court costs and other reasonable expenses of litigation), and liability of every kind, including amounts paid in settlement, with the approval of the Board, arising from any action or cause of action related to the Indemnified Person’s act or acts or failure to act. Such indemnity shall apply regardless of whether such claims, demands, suits, proceedings, losses, damaged, interest, penalties, expenses, and liability arise in whole or in part from: (i) the negligence or other fault of the Indemnified Person, except when the same is judicially determined to be due to gross negligence, fraud, or willful or intentional misconduct of such Indemnified Person; or (ii) from the imposition on such Indemnified Person of any penalties imposed by the Secretary of Labor, pursuant to ERISA Section 502(1), relating to any breaches of fiduciary responsibility under Part 4 of Title I of ERISA.

“Indemnified Person” shall mean each member of the Board, the Plan Administrator, each individual Trustee, and each other Employee who is allocated fiduciary responsibility hereunder. Upon request by the Indemnified Person, and at such other times as may be determined by the Plan Administrator, any indemnification due under this Section shall be made as the loss or expense as incurred. Payments under this Section may be made directly to a third party at the direction of the Board or the Indemnified Person. In the event the Plan Administrator subsequently determines that a payment based upon an initial determination of the applicability of this Section was inadvertently made, the Indemnified Person on whose behalf such payment was made shall reimburse the Employers to the extent required to satisfy the terms of this Section. The indemnification provisions of this Section shall not relieve any person from any liability he may have under ERISA for breach of fiduciary duty.

This Section shall not be deemed to restrict, limit or supersede any indemnification provided pursuant to the Company’s by-laws, the Trust Agreement, or any other written agreement.

13.15 Payment of Expenses. The expenses of agents or advisers, and any other reasonable expenses of the Plan Administrator, shall be paid or reimbursed by the Trustee out of the Trust Fund unless paid by the Employers. Such expenses shall be paid first from Forfeitures. To the extent permitted by XXXXX, the Trustee may also reimburse an Employer for reasonable and necessary direct expenses incurred for administration of the Plan.

ARTICLE 14. - PARTICIPATION BY EMPLOYERS

14.01 Adoption of Plan by Affiliated Company. Any Affiliated Company, whether or not presently existing, may adopt this Plan with the consent of the Company. Adoption by an Affiliated Company shall be accomplished in such manner as is specified by the Company from time to time. With the approval of the Company, an Affiliated Company may adopt the Plan with such modifications as it specifies in its instrument of adoption.

14.02 Rights and Obligations of the Company and the Employers. Throughout this instrument, a distinction is purposely drawn between rights and obligations of the Company and rights and obligations of each other Employer. The rights and obligations specified as belonging to the Company shall belong only to the Company. Each Employer (other than Operations Company for Homestead, Inc.) with respect to its Employees who are eligible to participate in the Homestead Retirement Plan) shall have the obligation, as herein provided, to make Matching Contributions and Discretionary Contributions for its own Participants, and no Employer shall have the obligation to make Matching Contributions or Discretionary Contributions for the Participants of any other Employer. Any failure by an Employer to fulfill its own obligations under this Plan shall have no effect upon any other Employer. An Employer may withdraw from this Plan without affecting any other Employer.

14.03 Withdrawal from Plan. Any Employer may withdraw from the Plan upon giving the Company and the Trustee at least sixty (60) days’ notice in writing of its intention to withdraw. Such withdrawal shall terminate all obligations of the withdrawn Employer under the Plan, but, except as otherwise provided by the Company in its sole discretion, the Accounts of such Employers’ Employees shall remain in the Trust until otherwise payable to the Participants.

ARTICLE 15. - AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN

The Company reserves the right to amend the Plan with respect to all Employers at any time and from time to time. Unless otherwise permitted by law, no amendment shall permit any part of the Trust Fund to revert to or be recoverable by an Employer or be used for or diverted to purposes other than the exclusive benefit of the Participants or their Beneficiaries, or deprive any Participant of any interest he might have in the Trust Fund at the time of the amendment to the extent that such interest would be available to the Participant under Article 10 were he to voluntarily resign as of the effective date of the amendment.

(a) Under no condition, shall such amendment, amendments, or restatements increase the duties or responsibilities, or decrease the compensation, privileges, and immunities of the Trustee without the Trustee’s written consent.

(b) Under no condition, shall such amendment change the vesting schedule to one which would result in the nonforfeitable percentage of the accrued benefit derived from Matching Contributions or Discretionary Contributions (determined as of the later of the date of the adoption of the amendment or of the effective date of the amendment) of any Participant being less than such nonforfeitable percentage computed under the Plan without regard to such amendment; provided, however, that no amendment shall change the vesting schedule unless each Participant with three (3) or more Vesting Years of Service, is permitted to elect, within the election period described below, to have his nonforfeitable percentage computed under the Plan without regard to the amendment. The election period described herein shall begin no later than the date upon which the amendment is adopted and shall end no later than the latest of the following dates: (i) the date which is sixty (60) days after the day the amendment is adopted; (ii) the date which is sixty (60) days after the day the amendment becomes effective; or (iii) the date which is sixty (60) days after the day the Participant is issued a written notice of the amendment by the Company.

(c) Subject to the above stated limitations and the requirement that no amendment shall eliminate (except with respect to any future contributions or future accrual of benefits and except as otherwise permitted by Treasury Regulations or rulings) any nondiscretionary optional form of payment as provided in Treasury Regulations Section 1.411(d)-4 and Code section 411(d)(6), with respect to any Participant who is a Participant immediately prior to the amendment, the Company shall have the power to amend the Plan and Trust Agreement, retroactively or otherwise, in any manner in which it deems desirable, including, but not by way of limitation, the power to change any provisions relating to the administration of the Plan and Trust Fund, and to change any provisions relating to the benefits or payment of any of the assets of the Trust Fund. Each such amendment shall become effective when executed by the Company unless a different effective date is specified in the amendment.

(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Plan may be amended at any time by the Company if necessary or desirable in order to have it conform to the provisions and requirements of the Code or any other applicable law, and no such amendment shall be considered prejudicial to the rights of any Participant hereunder or of any Beneficiary, Alternate Payee, or Employee. Further, it is understood that any provisions of this Plan as herein contained which are contrary to the requirements of the Code for a qualified tax exempt employees’ stock bonus plan and trust shall be deemed void and of no effect, without affecting the validity of other provisions hereof.

ARTICLE 16. - PERMANENCY OF THE PLAN

16.01 Right to Terminate Plan. The Company contemplates that the Plan shall be permanent and that the Employers shall be able to make contributions to the Plan. Nevertheless, in recognition of the fact that future conditions and circumstances cannot now be entirely foreseen, the Company reserves the right to terminate the Plan.

16.02 Merger or Consolidation of Plan and Trust. Neither the Plan nor the Trust may be merged or consolidated with, nor may its assets or liabilities be transferred to, any other plan or trust, unless each Participant would (if the Plan then terminated) receive a benefit immediately after the merger, consolidation, or transfer which is equal to or greater than the benefit he would have been entitled to receive immediately before the merger, consolidation, or transfer (if the Plan had then terminated). The Plan Administrator is empowered to direct the Trustee to transfer assets and liabilities from the Plan relating to such Participant Accounts as the Plan Administrator designates to another plan, such transfer must meet the requirements of Code section 414, and trust-to-trust transfer under this Section 16.02 shall only be made in cash.

16.03 Continuance by Successor Company. Subject to approval of the Board, in the event of the liquidation, dissolution, merger, consolidation, or reorganization of an Employer, the successor company may, with the approval of the Company, adopt the Plan and Trust for the benefit of the Employees of such Employer. If such successor company does adopt the Plan and Trust, it shall, in all respects, be substituted for such Employer under the Plan and Trust. Any such substitution of such successor company shall constitute an assumption of Plan liabilities by such successor company, and such successor company shall have all of the powers, duties and responsibilities of such Employer under the Plan and Trust. If such successor company does not adopt the Plan and Trust, participation in the Plan and Trust shall cease with respect to such Employer in accordance with the provisions of the Plan and Trust Agreement and the assets of the successor company’s employees shall be held or distributed as directed by the Board.

ARTICLE 17. - DISCONTINUANCE OF CONTRIBUTIONS AND TERMINATION

17.01 Suspension of Contributions. Should an Employer fail to make Matching Contributions in any one (1) or more years, such failure shall not, of itself, terminate or discontinue this Plan and Trust as to the Employer and its Participants, nor shall the Employer incur any obligation to resume its Matching Contributions in whole or in part.

17.02 Discontinuance of Contributions. Whenever an Employer determines that it is impossible or inadvisable for it to make further Matching Contributions, such Employer may without terminating the Trust, permanently discontinue all further Matching Contributions by such Employer. A certified copy of such Employer’s resolution or other formal written instrument pursuant to Section 20.06, shall be delivered to the Plan Administrator and the Trustee. Thereafter, the Plan Administrator and the Trustee shall continue to administer all the provisions of the Plan which are necessary and remain in force, other than the provisions relating to Matching Contributions by such Employer. Unless otherwise provided by the Company, the Trust shall remain in existence with respect to such Employer and all of the provisions of the Trust Agreement shall remain in force.

17.03 Termination of Plan and Trust. If the Company determines to terminate the Plan and Trust completely, it shall be terminated as of the date specified in certified copies of resolutions or other formal written instrument pursuant to Section 20.06, delivered to the Trustee. The Company shall direct the Trustee whether to continue to hold assets of the Plan pending distribution to Participants and Beneficiaries at the times provided in Article 11, or to liquidate and distribute assets of the Plan as hereinafter provided. Upon such termination of the Plan and Trust and before liquidation of the Trust, the Trustee shall do a special valuation of the Trust, if the liquidation is not to occur as of an Allocation Date. After payment of all expenses and proportional adjustment of Accounts of Participants to reflect such expenses, Trust Fund profits or losses, and subject to the limitations contained in Section 5.04, allocations of any previously unallocated funds to the date of termination, Participants shall be entitled to receive the amount then credited to their respective Accounts in the Trust Fund in accordance with Article 11. If, in the opinion of the Plan Administrator, assets in the Trust Fund or certain of them may possibly not be readily salable (i) because of federal or state securities laws, or the rules and regulations thereunder or (ii) at a fair value, the Plan Administrator shall direct and the Trustee shall effect, a distribution of such assets in kind. Upon completion of liquidation and distribution of the assets of the Trust to the Participants, the Trustee shall thereby complete the Trustee’s duties, and the Trust shall terminate.

17.04 Participant’s Rights to Benefits upon Termination or Partial Termination of Plan or Complete Discontinuance of Contributions. Upon the termination or partial termination (as determined by the Internal Revenue Service) of the Plan or the complete discontinuance of Matching Contributions, the rights of affected Participants with respect to the amounts credited to their Accounts at such time shall be nonforfeitable without reference to any formal action on the part of such Employer, the Plan Administrator, or the Trustee.

ARTICLE 18. - EXCLUSIVE BENEFIT OF THE PLAN

18.01 Limitation on Reversions. Except as otherwise provided in this Article 18, it shall be impossible, at any time, for any part of the Trust Fund, other than such part as is required to pay taxes

and administration expenses or such part as may otherwise be permitted by law to be returned to the Employer, to be recoverable by an Employer, or to be used for, or diverted to, purposes other than for the exclusive benefit of the Participants, Beneficiaries, and Alternate Payees.

18.02 Unallocated Amounts upon Termination of Plan and Trust. In the event the Plan and Trust are terminated, any previously unallocated amounts maintained in the suspense account in accordance with the provisions of Subsection 5.06(3) which cannot be allocated to Participants upon the termination of the Plan and Trust pursuant to Section 17.03 because of the limitations contained in Sections 5.07 through 5.08, shall revert to the Employer or Employers employing the Participant at the time of such termination.

18.03 Mistake of Fact or Disallowance of Deduction. If the Plan Administrator in good faith determines that (a) a Discretionary Contribution, a Matching Contribution or Pre-Tax Contribution was made by reason of a mistake of fact or (b) a Discretionary Contribution, a Matching Contribution or Pre-Tax Contribution is conditioned on its being deductible under Code section 404, but the Internal Revenue Service disallows such deduction, the amount of the excess Discretionary Contribution, Matching Contribution or Pre-Tax Contribution less losses attributable thereto may, upon direction of the Plan Administrator, be returned to the contributing Employer. All payments of returned Discretionary Contribution, Matching Contributions or Pre-Tax Contributions under this Section shall be made within one (1) year from the date of the payment of such mistaken Discretionary Contribution, Matching Contribution or Pre-Tax Contribution or the disallowance by the Internal Revenue Service of the deduction, whichever is applicable. The amount of the excess Discretionary Contribution, Matching Contribution or Pre-Tax Contribution shall be the excess of (1) the amount contributed over (2) the amount that would have been contributed had there not occurred a mistake of fact or had the deduction not been disallowed. Earnings attributable to the excess Discretionary Contribution, Matching Contribution or Pre-Tax Contribution shall not be returned to the contributing Employer, but losses attributable thereto shall reduce the amount of such Discretionary Contribution, Matching Contribution or Pre-Tax Contribution to be so returned. Furthermore, if the withdrawal of the amount attributable to the mistaken Discretionary Contribution, Matching Contribution or Pre-Tax Contribution would cause the balance of a Participant’s Account to be reduced to an amount which is less than the balance which would have been in said Account had the mistaken Discretionary Contribution, amount not been contributed, then the amount to be returned to the Employer under this Section will be reduced so as to avoid any such reduction.

(d) The top-heavy requirements of section 416 of the Code and Article XVIII of the Plan shall not apply in any year beginning after December 31, 2001, in which the Plan consists solely of a cash or deferred arrangement which meets the requirements of section 401(k)(12) of the Code and matching contributions with respect to which the requirements of section 401(m)(11) of the Code are met.

19.02(2) The “Top Heavy Ratio” referred to in Subsection 19.02(1) shall be determined as follows:

(a) If the Employers or Affiliated Companies maintain or have maintained one or more Defined Contribution Plans but have never maintained a Defined Benefit Plan which has covered or could cover a Participant in this Plan, the Top Heavy Ratio is a fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of the account balances under the Defined Contribution Plans for all Key Employees as of the Determination Date (including any part of any such account balance distributed in the five (5) year period ending on the Determination Date), and the denominator of which is the sum of all account balances under the Defined Contribution Plans for all participants as of the Determination Date (including any part of any such account balance distributed in the five (5) year period ending on the Determination Date). Both the numerator and the denominator of the Top Heavy Ratio shall be adjusted to reflect any contribution which is due but unpaid as of the appropriate Determination Date. In determining the account balances which have been distributed in the five (5) year period ending on the Determination Date, distributions under a terminated plan shall be included, provided such terminated plan, if it had not been terminated, would have been included in a Required Aggregation Group.

(b) For purposes of Subsections 19.02(3)(a) and (b), the value of account balances shall be determined as of the most recent Valuation Date that falls within or ends with the twelve (12) month period ending on the Determination Date. If any Participant was a Key Employee as set forth in Subsection 19.01(4) for any prior Plan Year, but such Participant ceases to be a Key Employee for any Plan Year, such Participant’s account balances and accrued benefits shall not be taken into account for purposes of determining whether or not this Plan is a Top Heavy Plan or a Super Top Heavy Plan as of the Determination Date of said Plan Year. Accounts shall be calculated to include all amounts attributable to both contributions by an Affiliated Company and contributions by persons employed by an Affiliated Company, but shall exclude amounts attributable to voluntary deductible contributions by said persons. The calculation of the Top Heavy Ratios, and the extent to which distributions, rollovers and transfers are taken into account shall be made in accordance with Code section 416 and the regulations thereunder. When aggregating plans for purposes of an Aggregation Group, the value of account balances will be calculated with reference to the Determination Dates that fall within the same calendar year. Notwithstanding the provisions of Subsections 19.02(3)(a) and (b), in determining the fractions referred to therein, there shall not be taken into account the account balances of any person who has not performed services for any Affiliated Company maintaining any Defined Contribution Plan referred to in such Subsections at any time during the five (5) year period ending on the Determination Date.

19.03 Minimum Requirements. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan to the contrary, if the Plan is a Top Heavy Plan for any Plan Year, then the following provisions shall apply:

19.03(1) Vesting. Any Participant who is credited with an Hour of Service in the first Plan Year in which the Plan is a Top Heavy Plan, or in any subsequent Plan Year after such first Plan Year (whether or not the Plan is a Top Heavy Plan in such subsequent Plan Year) shall have his percentage of vested benefits owing upon a Termination of Employment determined pursuant to the following schedule, in lieu of the schedule set forth in Section 10.01:


Vesting Years of Service	Percentage
Less than 2 years	0	%

2 years but less than 3 years	20	%

3 years but less than 4 years	40	%

4 years but less than 5 years	60	%

5 years but less than 6 years	80	%

6 years or more	100	%

19.03(2) Accrual Benefits. The following two paragraphs shall apply for purposes of determining the present value of accrued benefits and the amounts of Account balances of Employees as of the Determination Date.

(a) The present values of accrued benefits and the amounts of Account balances of an Employee as of the Determination Date shall be increased by the distributions made with respect to the Employee under the Plan and any plan aggregated with the Plan under section 416(g)(2) of the Code during the 1-year period ending on the Determination Date. The preceding sentence shall also apply to distributions under a terminated plan which, had it not been terminated, would have been aggregated with the Plan under section 416(g)(2)(A)(i) of the Code. In the case of a distribution made for a reason other than severance from employment, death, or disability, this provision shall be applied by substituting ‘5-year period’ for ‘1-year period.’

(b) Employees not performing services during year ending on the Determination Date. The accrued benefits and Accounts of any individual who has not performed services for the Employer during the 1-year period ending on the Determination Date shall not be taken into account.

19.02(3) Employer matching contributions shall be taken into account for purposes of satisfying the minimum contribution requirements of section 416(c)(2) of the Code and the Plan. The preceding sentence shall apply with respect to matching contributions under the Plan or, if the Plan provides that the minimum contribution requirement shall be met in another plan, such 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 section 401(m) of the Code.

19.02(4) Required Minimum Allocation of Contributions. Except as otherwise provided in this Article 19 and notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan to the contrary, for any Plan Year in which the Plan is a Top Heavy Plan, the Matching Contributions allocated on behalf of each Participant who is a Non-Key Employee shall not be less than the lesser of: (i) three percent (3%) of such Participant’s Limitation Year Compensation or (ii) the largest percentage of Matching Contributions as a percentage of the Key Employee Participant’s Compensation, allocated on behalf of any Key Employee Participant for that Plan Year; provided, however, that the provisions of clause (ii) shall not apply to any plan included in a Required Aggregation Group if such plan enables a Defined Benefit Plan included in such Required Aggregation Group to meet the requirements of Code section 401(a)(4) or 410. The minimum allocation provided for herein shall be determined without taking into account contributions or benefits under Code Chapter 21 (relating to the Federal Insurance Contributions Act), Title II of the Social Security Act or any other federal or state law, and shall be made without regard to any contrary provisions of the Plan regarding the allocation of Matching Contributions to affected Participants which might otherwise result in such Participant being entitled to no allocation or a lesser allocation due to the Participant’s failure to complete one thousand (1,000) Hours of Service (or the equivalent) during the Plan Year, the Participant’s failure to make mandatory employee contributions or the Participant’s failure to earn a stated amount of Compensation; provided, however, that such minimum allocation shall not be required to be made on behalf of any Participant who is not actively employed by an Employer on the last day of the applicable Plan Year. For purposes of this Section 19.03, all Defined Contribution Plans required to be included in an Aggregation Group shall be treated as one plan. Pre-Tax Contributions on behalf

of Key Employee Participants are taken into account in determining the minimum contribution under this Subsection. On the other hand, Pre-Tax Contributions on behalf of Non-Key Employees may not be treated as a Matching Contribution for purposes of the minimum contribution or benefit requirement of Code section 416.

19.02(5) Minimum Required Benefit. 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 section 401(k)(12) of the Code and matching contributions with respect to which the requirements of section 401(m)(11) of the Code are met). The top-heavy minimum benefit requirement of section 416(c) of the Code shall be met in accordance with Section 19.03.
