                                 (A) Open Market Purchases and Sales. Purchases and sales of Sponsor Stock shall be made on the open market in accordance with the Trustee’s standard trading guidelines, as they

15

 

may be amended from time to time, as necessary to honor batch activity. Such general rules shall not apply in the following circumstances:
                                      (1) If the Trustee is unable to purchase or sell the total number of shares required to be purchased or sold on such day as a result of market conditions; or
                                      (2) If the Trustee is prohibited by the SEC, the NYSE or principal exchange on which the Sponsor Stock is traded, or any other regulatory or judicial body from purchasing or selling any or all of the shares required to be purchased or sold on such day.
In the event of the occurrence of a circumstance described in (1) or (2) above, the Trustee shall purchase or sell such shares as soon thereafter as administratively feasible, and shall determine the price of such purchases or sales to be the average purchase or sales price of all such shares purchased or sold, respectively. The Trustee may follow written directions from the Named Fiduciary to deviate from the above purchase and sale procedures.
  (iv)   Purchases and Sales of Sponsor Stock for Participant-Initiated Exchanges (“Real Time” Trading)
                                 Unless otherwise directed by the Sponsor in writing pursuant to directions that the Trustee can administratively implement, the following provisions shall govern purchases and sales of Sponsor Stock for Participant-initiated exchanges.

Purchases and sales of Sponsor Stock associated with individual Participant-initiated exchanges into or out of the Stock Fund shall be made on the open market pursuant to order types selected by the Participant in accordance with the Trustee’s procedures for “Real Time Trading.” The Sponsor may instruct the Trustee to limit the order types available to Participants.
                                      (1) Automated Order Entry. Sponsor Stock trades associated with Participant-initiated exchanges shall be sent to market as soon as administratively feasible during regular trading hours via an electronic order entry system, unless such trade is treated as a block trade. Such electronic order entry system shall be deemed an Electronic Service for purposes of Section 14 of this Agreement.
                                      (2) Limitations on Trades; Cancellation of Exchange Requests. Trades rejected under rules of the applicable securities exchange will not be executed. The Trustee will not submit orders (or will cancel orders) for stock trades that violate the Trustee’s procedures for “Real

16

 

Time Trading”. The Trustee shall not submit any trade order associated with a Participant-initiated exchange at any time when the Sponsor Stock Fund has been closed to such activity. Trades associated with Participant-initiated exchanges shall not be transacted at any time when the regular market is closed, or when the SEC, the NYSE or principal exchange on which the Sponsor Stock is traded, or any other regulatory or judicial body has prohibited purchases or sales of any or all of the shares requested by the Participant to be traded pursuant to the Participant-initiated exchange. An exchange requested by the Participant shall be rejected or cancelled, as the case may be, to the extent any accompanying trade is not submitted, not executed or cancelled.
                                 (B) Reserve Requirements for Exchanges Into Stock Fund and Corrective Sales. The Participant’s ability to initiate exchanges into the Stock Fund shall be subject to standard reserve requirements applicable to the investment options used to fund the exchange, as established by the Trustee from time to time (or such higher reserve requirements as may be established by the Sponsor in written direction to the Trustee) and described to the Committee and Participants. Requests to exchange into the Sponsor Stock Fund that exceed such reserves, and accompanying trade orders, may be rejected or cancelled. In the event that a buy trade associated with a request to exchange into Sponsor Stock is executed, and the Participant does not have sufficient assets in the designated investment option to fund the trade, the Trustee will liquidate investment options (including those held in other sources eligible for liquidation) in the affected Participant’s account pro rata. In the event that the Participant does not have sufficient assets in any other investment option, the Trustee shall initiate a corrective sale, and shall debit the costs of such corrective trade from the Participant’s account.
                                 (C) Fractional Shares. Participants will be entitled to exchange out fractional shares in the Stock Fund only in connection with a request to exchange out the entire balance of their Stock Fund holdings (or the entire balance in a particular source, as applicable). Fractional shares will be transacted at the price determined by the stock trade order selected by the Participant.
  (v)   Use of an Affiliated Broker.
For all purchases and sales of Sponsor Stock on the open market, whether Participant-initiated or otherwise, the Committee hereby directs the Trustee to use FBSLLC to provide brokerage services. Subject to the provisions of this agreement, FBSLLC shall execute such trades directly or through any of its affiliates. The provision of brokerage services shall be subject to the following:
                                      (1) As consideration for such brokerage services, the Committee agrees that FBSLLC shall be entitled to remuneration under this direction provision in the amount of

17

related to a transaction that the Sponsor has directed the Trustee in writing to implement on a batch basis (“batch activity”).
                              (A) Open Market Sales. Sales of IAC Stock shall be made on the open market in accordance with the Trustee’s standard trading guidelines, as they may be amended from time to time, as necessary to honor batch activity. Such general rules shall not apply in the following circumstances:
                                        (1) If the Trustee is unable to sell the total number of shares required to be sold on such day as a result of market conditions; or
                                        (2) If the Trustee is prohibited by the SEC, the NYSE or principal exchange on which the IAC Stock is traded, or any other regulatory or judicial body from selling any or all of the shares required to be sold on such day.
In the event of the occurrence of a circumstance described in (1) or (2) above, the Trustee shall sell such shares as soon thereafter as administratively feasible, and shall determine the price of such sales to be the average sales price of all such shares sold, respectively. The Trustee may follow written directions from the Committee to deviate from the above sale procedures.

                              Unless otherwise directed by the Sponsor in writing pursuant to directions that the Trustee can administratively implement, the following provisions shall govern sales of IAC Stock for Participant-initiated exchanges.

               Limitations on Trades; Cancellation of Exchange Requests. Trades rejected under rules of the applicable securities exchange will not be executed. The Trustee will not submit orders (or will

22

 

cancel orders) for stock trades that violate the Trustee’s procedures for “Real Time Trading”. The Trustee shall not submit any trade order associated with a Participant-initiated exchange at any time when the IAC Stock Fund has been closed to such activity. Trades associated with Participant-initiated exchanges shall not be transacted at any time when the regular market is closed, or when the SEC, the NYSE or principal exchange on which the IAC Stock is traded, or any other regulatory or judicial body has prohibited sales of any or all of the shares requested by the Participant to be traded pursuant to the Participant-initiated exchange. An exchange requested by the Participant shall be rejected or cancelled, as the case may be, to the extent any accompanying trade is not submitted, not executed or cancelled. Participants will be entitled to exchange out fractional shares in the IAC Stock Fund only in connection with a request to exchange out the entire balance of their IAC Stock Fund holdings (or the entire balance in a particular source, as applicable). Fractional shares will be transacted at the price determined by the stock trade order selected by the Participant.

In the event that a provision of the BrokerageLink Third Party Limited Trading Authorization Form conflicts with the terms of the BrokerageLink Participant Acknowledgement Form, the BrokerageLink Account Terms and Conditions, this Agreement, the Plan or an applicable statute or regulation, the terms of the BrokerageLink Participant Acknowledgement Form, the BrokerageLink Account Terms and Conditions, this Agreement, the Plan or the applicable statute or regulation shall control.
                    (vii) The Participant shall be solely responsible for receiving and responding to all trade confirmations, account statements, prospectuses, annual reports, proxies and other materials that would otherwise be distributed to the owner of the Participant Account.

Such transfers may be effected without notice to or consent from the Participant.
                    (ix) FBSLLC may accept from the Participant, changes to indicative data including, but not limited to, postal address, email address, and phone number associated with the Participant Account established for the Participant.
  (i)   Fidelity Retirement Plan Manager®.
                    (i) This section is intended to authorize appointment of an investment manager as contemplated in Section 402(c)(3) of ERISA. The Sponsor may appoint an investment manager, and, pursuant to the agreement attached as Schedule “M”, the Sponsor has so appointed Strategic Advisers with respect to assets held in the individual Plan accounts of participants electing to participate in the Fidelity Retirement Plan Manager® service. That appointment extends only to Managed Assets, as defined below.
                    (ii) Managed Assets shall be comprised of those assets held in or contributed to the individual plan accounts of eligible Participants (except for assets held in sponsor stock) from whom the Trustee or its agent has received In Good Order an election to participate in the Fidelity Retirement Plan Manager® service, and whose participation has not been terminated in accordance with subparagraph (iv). All Participants (including terminated and retired Participants) and beneficiaries are eligible for Fidelity Retirement Plan Manager®. In order to be eligible for the service, a Participant must have a Plan account balance equal to or greater than an amount as the Trustee and Strategic Advisers may determine in their sole discretion, after notice to the Sponsor. Participants who hold non-traditional investment options in their Plan account, such as self-directed brokerage assets, are ineligible for the service until such holdings are liquidated.
                    (iii) Purchases and sales of investment options initiated by the service shall be governed by the operating guidelines set out in Schedule “L”.
                    (iv) For so long as Fidelity Retirement Plan Manager® is offered, Strategic Advisers’ authority with respect to Managed Assets shall begin when Fidelity has confirmed receipt of an election In Good Order from an eligible Participant who has elected to participate in the service (and in the case of plans or portions thereof transferring to Fidelity recordkeeping services, at the conclusion of the Participant Recordkeeping Reconciliation Period). Strategic Advisers’ authority with respect to

29

 

Managed Assets shall end with respect to a Participant when (A) the Participant terminates his or her election to participate in the Fidelity Retirement Plan Manager® service; (B) Managed Assets are withdrawn (through loan, withdrawal or distribution) or otherwise transferred out of the Participant’s account for any reason (but only to the extent of such withdrawal or transfer); (C) the Participant’s account is transferred to another plan not offering the service; (D) Strategic Advisers receives notice from the Trustee or its agent of a Participant’s death, after the Trustee or its agent has been so notified; (E) Strategic Advisers notifies a Participant that the Participant is no longer eligible for the service, or that it will no longer provide the service to such Participant for any reason; (F) when the Plan’s Named Fiduciary directs Strategic Advisers to discontinue its service to any Participant (whether through termination of Strategic Advisers as investment manager with respect to the Fidelity Retirement Plan Manager® service, or otherwise); or (G) when an affiliate of the Trustee ceases to provide recordkeeping services for the Plan. A Participant’s termination of his or her election to participate in the Service shall be effective immediately after the Trustee confirms receipt of such election, provided that if confirmation is received after market close and one or more exchange transactions initiated by Strategic Advisers are pending for processing in the nightly cycle for such date, such exchanges shall be processed as of the market close on such date.
                    (v) The Managed Assets shall be identified on the books and records of the Trust separately from all other assets held by the Trustee under this Agreement. Strategic Advisers shall have the duty and power to direct the Trustee and its affiliates as to the investment of Managed Assets among available investment options, in accordance with governing investment guidelines, but shall have no authority with respect to the exercise of shareholder rights such as voting, or other rights that arise out of the Trust’s ownership of certain securities, such as the right to participate in bankruptcy or other litigation. The Trustee shall follow the direction of Strategic Advisers or its agent regarding the investment and reinvestment of the Managed Assets. The Trustee shall have no authority or responsibility to review, question or countermand any instruction provided by Strategic Advisers to it, unless it has knowledge that by its action or failure to act, it will be participating in or undertaking to conceal a breach of fiduciary duty by Strategic Advisers.
                    (vi) The Trustee may execute such documents and powers of attorney as may be necessary to authorize Strategic Advisers or its agents, to exercise the investment management duties of Strategic Advisers.

30

 

                    (vii) It is acknowledged that the Strategic Advisers may appoint as its agent any entity, including FIIOC, that is also used by the Trustee in performing its duties hereunder without additional cost.
                    (viii) Neither the Trustee nor its affiliates performing recordkeeping and administrative services for the Plan shall have any obligation to provide any information concerning an electing Participant to Strategic Advisers (including, without limitation, any holdings of such Participant outside of the assets allocated to the Fidelity Retirement Plan Manager® service), provided, however, that the Trustee and such affiliates shall be obligated to provide such data as will notify Strategic Advisers of an event terminating some or all of its management responsibilities for electing Participants.
  (j)   Collective Investment Funds Managed by the Trustee.
To the extent that the Committee selects as an investment option the Managed Income Portfolio II of the Group Trust, the Sponsor hereby (A) acknowledges that it has received from the Trustee a copy of the Group Trust, the Participation Agreement and the Declaration of Separate Fund for the Managed Income Portfolio II, and (B) adopts the terms of the Group Trust, the Participation Agreement and the Declaration of Separate Fund as part of this Agreement.

The Trustee shall have the following powers and authority:
                    (i) Subject to paragraphs (b) and (c) of this Section 5, to sell, exchange, convey, transfer, or otherwise dispose of any property held in the Trust, by private contract or at public auction. No person dealing with the Trustee shall be bound to see to the application of the purchase money or other property delivered to the Trustee or to inquire into the validity, expediency, or propriety of any such sale or other disposition.
                    (ii) To cause any securities or other property held as part of the Trust to be registered in the Trustee’s own name, in the name of one or more of its nominees, or in the Trustee’s account with the Depository Trust Company of New York and to hold any investments in bearer form, but the books and records of the Trustee shall at all times show that all such investments are part of the Trust.

The Trustee shall keep accurate accounts of all investments, receipts, disbursements, and other transactions hereunder, and shall report the value of the assets held in the Trust as of each Reporting Date. Within thirty (30) days following each Reporting Date or within sixty (60) days in the case of a Reporting Date caused by the resignation or removal of the Trustee, or the termination of this Agreement, the Trustee shall file with the Administrator a written account setting forth all investments, receipts, disbursements, and other transactions effected by the Trustee between the Reporting Date and the prior Reporting Date, and setting forth the value of the Trust as of the Reporting Date.

Prior to the termination of this Agreement, all records generated by the Trustee in accordance with paragraphs (a) and (b), above, shall be open to inspection and audit by the Administrator or any persons designated by the Administrator, during the Trustee’s regular business hours. Upon the resignation or removal of the Trustee or the termination of this Agreement, the Trustee shall provide to the Sponsor, at no expense to the Sponsor, in the format regularly provided to the Sponsor, a statement of each Participant’s accounts as of the resignation, removal, or termination, and the Trustee shall provide to the Sponsor or the Plan’s new recordkeeper such further records as may be reasonably requested, at the Sponsor’s expense.
  (d)   Notice of Plan Amendment.
The Trustee’s provision of the recordkeeping and administrative services set forth in this Section 6 shall be conditioned on the Sponsor delivering to the Trustee a copy of any amendment to the Plan as soon as administratively feasible following the amendment’s adoption and on the Administrator providing the Trustee, on a timely basis, with all the information the Trustee deems necessary for it to perform the recordkeeping and administrative services set forth herein, and such other information as the Trustee may reasonably request.

33

Except as set forth on Schedule “A”, the Administrator shall be responsible for the preparation and filing of all returns, reports, and information required of the Trust or Plan by law.

  (f)   Standard of Care.

Such increases in operating costs are shared by all sponsors of plans recordkept or trusteed by the Trustee.
All reasonable expenses of plan administration as shown on Schedule “B” attached hereto, as amended from time to time, shall be a charge against and paid from the appropriate Participants’ accounts, except to the extent such amounts are paid by the Sponsor in a timely manner.
All expenses of the Trustee relating directly to the acquisition and disposition of investments constituting part of the Trust, all taxes of any kind whatsoever that may be levied or assessed under existing or future laws upon or in respect of the Trust or the income thereof, and any other reasonable expenses of Plan administration as determined and directed by the Administrator, shall be a charge against and paid from the appropriate Participants’ accounts.

Anything hereinabove to the contrary notwithstanding, subject to the following paragraph, any obligation of the Sponsor to indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee against Losses shall be expressly conditioned on the Trustee giving prompt notice to the Sponsor of any such potential liability and the Trustee giving the Sponsor an opportunity to defend or settle the same by counsel selected by the Sponsor (with the consent of the Trustee). The Trustee shall promptly reimburse the Sponsor to the extent costs of the Trustee’s defense in any such lawsuit or claim where the court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction hearing such lawsuit or claim determines that the Trustee materially breached this Agreement or committed an act or omission constituting negligence, bad faith, fraud or willful misconduct or a violation of ERISA. The Trustee shall have the right to retain its own counsel, in any such proceeding if it deems, in its reasonable judgment, its interests and the Sponsor’s to be sufficiently in conflict that they could not be represented by the same counsel.
The Trustee shall indemnify the Sponsor and the Committee against, and hold the Sponsor and the Committee harmless from, any and all Losses that may be incurred by, imposed upon, or asserted against the Sponsor by reason of any claim, regulatory proceeding, or litigation arising from Trustee’s negligence, fraud, willful misconduct, bad faith, a violation of ERISA or breach of this Agreement.

36

 

In addition to any other indemnification provided to Trustee by Sponsor under this Agreement, Sponsor shall indemnify Trustee against, and hold Trustee harmless from, any and all Losses that may be incurred by, imposed upon, or asserted against Trustee by reason of any claim, regulatory proceeding, or litigation arising from Sponsor’s failure to provide, or delay in providing, information to Trustee necessary to effectuate the transfer of funds pursuant to the Auto-Debit service in Section 18(h) or any deficiency or lack of funds in any account from which Sponsor has directed Trustee to deduct payments under that section.

               (a) The Trustee may provide communications and Electronic Services via electronic media, including, but not limited to NetBenefits, eWorkplace and Fidelity Plan Sponsor WebStation. The Sponsor agrees to use such Electronic Services only in the course of reasonable administration of or participation in the Plan and to keep confidential and not alter, publish, copy, broadcast, retransmit, reproduce, frame-in, link to, commercially exploit or otherwise redisseminate the Electronic Services, any content associated therewith, or any portion thereof (including, without limitation, any trademarks and service marks associated therewith), without the written consent of the Trustee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee acknowledges that certain Electronic Services may, by their nature, be intended for non-commercial, personal use by Participants or their beneficiaries, with respect to their participation in the Plan, or for their other retirement or employee benefit planning purposes, and certain content may be intended or permitted to be modified by the Sponsor in connection with the administration of the Plan. In such cases, the Trustee will notify the Sponsor of such fact, and any requirements or guidelines associated with such usage or modification no later than the time of initial delivery of such Electronic Services. To the extent permission is granted to make Electronic Services available to administrative personnel designated by the Sponsor, it shall be the responsibility of the Sponsor to keep the Trustee informed as to which of the Sponsor personnel are authorized to have such access. Except to the extent otherwise specifically agreed by the parties, the Trustee reserves the right, upon notice when reasonably feasible, to modify or discontinue Electronic Services, or any portion thereof, at any time.

However, the Trustee disclaims any liability for interception of any such data or communications. The Trustee reserves the right not to accept data or communications transmitted electronically or via electronic media by the Sponsor or a third party if it determines that the method of delivery does not provide adequate data security, or if it is not administratively feasible for the Trustee to use the data security provided. The Trustee shall not be responsible for, and makes no warranties regarding access, speed or availability of Internet or network services, or any other service required for electronic communication, nor does the Trustee make any warranties, express or implied, and specifically disclaims all warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. The Trustee shall not be responsible for any loss or damage related to or resulting from any changes or modifications to the Electronic Services made in violation of this Agreement.
               (c) The Sponsor acknowledges that certain web sites through which the Electronic Services are accessed may be protected by passwords or require a login and the Sponsor agrees that neither the Sponsor nor, where applicable, Participants, will obtain or attempt to obtain unauthorized access to such Services or to any other protected materials or information, through any means not intentionally made available by the Trustee for the specific use of the Sponsor. To the extent that a personal identification number (PIN) is necessary for access to the Electronic Services, the Sponsor and/or its Participants, as the case may be, are solely responsible for all activities that occur in connection with such PINs.
               (d) The Trustee will provide to Participants the FullViewSM service via NetBenefits, through which Participants may elect to consolidate and manage any retirement account information available through NetBenefits as well as External Account Information. To the extent not provided by the Trustee or its affiliates, the data aggregation service will be provided by Xxxxxx.xxx, Inc. or such other independent provider as the Trustee may select, pursuant to a contract that requires the provider to take appropriate steps to protect the privacy and confidentiality of information furnished by users of the service. The Sponsor acknowledges that Participants who elect to use FullViewSM must provide passwords and PINs to the provider of data aggregation services.

Expedia Retirement Savings Plan
Dear Xx. Xxxxxxxx:
     In accordance with your request, this letter sets forth our opinion with respect to the qualified status under section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (including amendments made by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974) (the “Code”), of the [name of plan], as amended to the date of this letter (the “Plan”).
     The material facts regarding the Plan as we understand them are as follows. The most recent favorable determination letter as to the Plan’s qualified status under section 401(a) of the Code was issued by the [location of Key District] District Director of the Internal Revenue Service and was dated [date] (copy enclosed). The version of the Plan submitted by [name of company] (the “Company”) for the District Director’s review in connection with this determination letter did not contain amendments made effective as of [date]. These amendments, among other matters, [brief description of amendments]. [Subsequent amendments were made on [date] to amend the provisions dealing with [brief description of amendments].]
     The Company has informed us that it intends to submit the Plan to the [location of Key District] District Director of the Internal Revenue Service and to request from him a favorable determination letter as to the Plan’s qualified status under section 401(a) of the Code. The Company may have to make some modifications to the Plan at the request of the Internal Revenue Service in order to obtain this favorable determination letter, but we do not expect any of these modifications to be material. The Company has informed us that it will make these modifications.
     Based on the foregoing statements of the Company and our review of the provisions of the Plan, it is our opinion that the Internal Revenue Service will issue a favorable determination letter as to the qualified status of the Plan, as modified at the request of the Internal Revenue Service, under section 401(a) of the Code, subject to the customary condition that continued qualification of the Plan, as modified, will depend on its effect in operation.
     [Furthermore, in that the assets are in part invested in common stock issued by the Company or an affiliate, it is our opinion that the Plan is an “eligible individual account plan” (as defined under Section 407(d)(3) of ERISA) and that the shares of common stock of the Company held and to be purchased under the Plan are “qualifying employer securities” (as defined under Section 407(d)(5) of ERISA). Finally, it is our opinion that interests in the Plan are not required to be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or, if such registration is required, that such interests are effectively registered under said Act.]

SCHEDULE “G” — Exchange Guidelines
The following exchange guidelines are currently employed by FIIOC.
Participants may initiate exchanges, via a Fidelity Participant service representative, from 8:30 a.m. (ET) to 8:00 p.m. in the Participant’s time zone in the continental United States on each Business Day.
Participants may initiate exchanges subject to the rules listed below for the Sponsor and the IAC Stock Funds, subject to the rules listed below for BrokerageLink, via VRS and the internet (NetBenefitsSM) virtually 24 hours a day.
Fidelity Retirement Plan Manager
A Participant may only elect to participate in Fidelity Retirement Plan Manager® following a telephone conversation with a Fidelity service representative. After the conclusion of any Participant Recordkeeping Reconciliation Period, exchanges shall be made at the NAV next calculated after a Participant has provided In Good Order all information necessary for the service to determine an appropriate target asset mix and model portfolio, and the receipt of his or her election to participate in the service has been confirmed by a Fidelity service representative. A Participant may elect to terminate participation in Fidelity Retirement Plan Manager® via telephone conversation with a Fidelity service representative, and such termination shall be effective immediately when Fidelity confirms receipt of such instruction, provided that if any exchange transactions are pending at the time the Participant elects to terminate the service, the pending transactions shall be processed at the market close on such date unless the Participant requests cancellation of such transactions. In the absence of such pending transactions, a Participant may request exchanges immediately, and such transactions shall be implemented in accordance with the guidelines set out herein for such investment option. For so long as a Participant participates in the Fidelity Retirement Plan Manager® service, he or she may not make exchanges in his or her account (except for assets held in sponsor stock).
FIIOC reserves the right to change these exchange guidelines at its discretion.
Exchanges shall be subject to Plan rules, and the Exchange Guidelines provided below shall apply to sources and funds to the extent eligible for Participant-directed purchases and/or sales.
Note: The NYSE’s normal closing time is 4:00 p.m. (ET); in the event the NYSE closes before such time or alters its closing time, all references below to 4:00 p.m. (ET) shall mean the actual or altered closing time of the NYSE.

General Rule for Plan Investment Options
    Exchanges Between Plan Investment Options
 
    Except as otherwise described below, exchanges between Plan investment options are processed on a daily cycle, market conditions permitting. Participants may contact Fidelity on any day to initiate an exchange between the Plan’s investment options. If the request is confirmed before the close of the market (generally 4:00 p.m. (ET)), on a Business Day, it will receive that day’s trade date. Requests confirmed after the close of the market on a Business Day (or on any day other than a Business Day) will be processed on a next Business Day basis.
Exceptions or Other Restrictions
Sponsor Stock:
    The following rules apply to any Participant-initiated exchange unless the Sponsor has directed the Trustee in writing to treat such exchanges as batch activity.
 
•   Exchanges from Other Investment Options into Sponsor Stock
 
    Exchanges from a Plan investment option into Sponsor Stock will be processed after execution of the buy trade, at the next calculated NAV of the Plan investment option.
 
    Sponsor Stock will be reflected in the Participant’s individual account in the Plan on the Business Day following execution of the trade.
 
•   Exchanges from Sponsor Stock into Other Plan Investment Options
 
    Exchanges out of Sponsor Stock will be processed after execution of the sell trade. Except as otherwise provided in this Schedule, the subsequent exchange into the other Plan investment option will be processed upon settlement day of the sell trade, at the last calculated NAV for such date.
 
    Shares of the other Plan investment option will be reflected in the Participant’s account on the following Business Day.
 
•   Additional Real Time Trading Restrictions
 
    All exchange requests involving Sponsor Stock must be made in shares of stock, even if the Plan allows for percentage and dollar amount exchanges. If a Participant wishes to exchange out his or her entire balance in Sponsor Stock (or, if applicable, his or her entire balance in Sponsor Stock in a single source), the associated trade must be placed in whole shares, and fractional shares will be processed at the price determined by the Participant-directed trade. Exchange requests accompanied by certain order types may not be accepted outside of normal trading

63

 

    hours. Trade requests accompanying exchange requests that do not adhere to the Trustee’s standard guidelines, or that would violate securities exchange rules, may result in rejection or cancellation of the associated exchange request.
    Exchanges from one stock fund to another, or from a Participant-directed brokerage account to Sponsor Stock are not permitted.
 
    Exchanges into Sponsor Stock shall be subject to minimum reserves on the investment option used to fund the exchange, as established by the Trustee from time to time (or such higher reserves as the Sponsor directs in writing). Exchanges in excess of the minimum reserve are prohibited.
IAC Stock:
    The following rules apply to any Participant-initiated exchange unless the Sponsor has directed the Trustee in writing to treat such exchanges as batch activity.
 
•   Exchanges from IAC Stock into Other Plan Investment Options
 
    Exchanges out of IAC Stock will be processed after execution of the sell trade. Except as otherwise provided in this Schedule, the subsequent exchange into the other Plan investment option will be processed upon settlement day of the sell trade, at the last calculated NAV for such date.
 
    Shares of the other Plan investment option will be reflected in the Participant’s account on the following Business Day.
 
•   Additional Real Time Trading Restrictions
 
    All exchange requests involving IAC Stock must be made in shares of stock, even if the Plan allows for percentage and dollar amount exchanges. If a Participant wishes to exchange out his or her entire balance in IAC Stock (or, if applicable, his or her entire balance in IAC Stock in a single source), the associated trade must be placed in whole shares, and fractional shares will be processed at the price determined by the Participant-directed trade. Exchange requests accompanied by certain order types may not be accepted outside of normal trading hours. Trade requests accompanying exchange requests that do not adhere to the Trustee’s standard guidelines, or that would violate securities exchange rules, may result in rejection or cancellation of the associated exchange request.
 
    Exchanges from one stock fund to another, or from a Participant-directed brokerage account to IAC Stock are not permitted.
 
    Competing Fund Restriction:
  •   Equity Wash
 
  •   Participants will not be permitted to make direct transfers between the Managed Income Portfolio II into a competing fund. Participants who wish to exchange between the Managed Income Portfolio II into a competing fund must first exchange

64

 

      into a non-competing fund for a period of 90 days.

65

 

BrokerageLink Option:
•   Exchanges from Investment Options (Standard Plan Option) into BrokerageLink Option
 
    If a request to exchange into BrokerageLink is confirmed before the close of the market (generally 4:00 p.m. ET) on any Business Day, the SPO investment option redemption will receive that day’s trade date and the purchase into the BrokerageLink Core Account will receive the next Business Day’s trade date. Requests confirmed after the close of the market on a Business Day will be processed on a next Business Day basis.
 
    For exchanges initiated via any of the available channels, (NetBenefits, VRS or a Participant Services Representative) 100% of the exchanged amount will be available for trading the next Business Day. Although none of the exchanged amount will be available for trading until the next Business Day for exchanges initiated via NetBenefits or VRS, 90% of the assets will be immediately available to trade through a brokerage representative if the exchange is initiated via a Participant Services Representative.
 
•   Exchanges from BrokerageLink Option into Mutual Funds (Standard Plan Option)
 
    Each Plan must designate one of the SPO investment options as the SPO Default Fund. Participants exchanging from the BrokerageLink option into other SPO investment options will have no choice as to where these assets are invested upon transfer from BrokerageLink. All assets exchanged from BrokerageLink to other SPO investment options are first credited to the SPO Default Fund. If a Participant wants to reallocate from the SPO Default Fund to other SPO investment options, he/she must contact Fidelity after the assets have been credited to the SPO Default Fund.
 
    Participants must speak to a brokerage representative to exchange from BrokerageLink into the SPO, and may contact Fidelity on any Business Day to do so. The transfer will involve a redemption from the BrokerageLink Core Account. If the request is confirmed before the close of the market on a Business Day, the BrokerageLink Core Account redemption will receive that day’s trade date, and the purchase into the SPO default fund will receive that day’s trade date. Requests confirmed after the close of the market on a Business Day (or on any day other than a Business Day) will be processed on a next Business Day basis.
 
    Most BrokerageLink trades require a three (3) Business Day settlement period. When placing the sell order in a Participant Account, the Participant may not request that upon settlement of

66

 

    the sell, assets be transferred from BrokerageLink to the SPO Default Fund. The Participant must call back after each settlement to transfer funds from the BrokerageLink Core Account into the SPO Default Fund.

Trade Activity and Wire Transfers
Each Business Day following Trade Date (“Trade Date plus One”), FIIOC or National Financial Services Corporation LLC (“NFS”), an affiliate of FIIOC, will provide, via facsimile, to the Fund Vendor a consolidated report of net purchase or net redemption activity that occurred in each of the Funds at the Close of Trading on the prior Business Day. The report will reflect the dollar amount of assets and shares to be invested or withdrawn for each Fund. FIIOC or NFS will transmit this report to the Fund Vendor each Business Day, regardless of processing activity. In the event that data contained in the facsimile transmission represents estimated trade activity, FIIOC or NFS shall provide a final facsimile to the Fund Vendor. Any resulting adjustments shall be processed by the Fund Vendor at the net asset value for the prior Business Day.
The Fund Vendor shall send via regular mail to FIIOC or NFS transaction confirms for all daily activity in each of the Funds. The Fund Vendor shall also send via regular mail to FIIOC or NFS, by no later than the fifth Business Day following calendar month close, a monthly statement for each Fund. FIIOC and NFS agree to notify the Fund Vendor of any balance discrepancies within twenty (20) Business Days of receipt of the monthly statement.
For purposes of wire transfers, FIIOC or NFS shall transmit a daily wire for aggregate purchase activity and the Fund Vendor shall transmit a daily wire for aggregate redemption activity, in each case including all activity across all Funds occurring on the same day.
Prospectus Delivery
FIIOC shall be responsible for the timely delivery of Fund prospectuses and periodic Fund reports (“Required Materials”) to Participants, and shall retain the services of a third-party vendor to handle such mailings. The Fund Vendor shall be responsible for all materials and production costs, and hereby agrees to provide the Required Materials to the third-party vendor selected by FIIOC. The Fund Vendor shall bear the costs of mailing annual Fund reports to Participants. FIIOC shall bear the costs of mailing prospectuses to Participants.

68

 

Proxies
The Fund Vendor shall be responsible for all costs associated with the production of proxy materials. FIIOC shall retain the services of a third-party vendor to handle proxy solicitation mailings and vote tabulation. Expenses associated with such services shall be billed directly to the Fund Vendor by the third-party vendor.
Participant Communications
The Fund Vendor shall provide internally-prepared fund descriptive information approved by the Funds’ legal counsel for use by FIIOC in its written Participant communication materials. FIIOC shall utilize historical performance data obtained from third-party vendors (currently Morningstar, Inc., FACTSET Research Systems and Lipper Analytical Services) in telephone conversations with Participants and in quarterly Participant statements. The Sponsor hereby consents to FIIOC’s use of such materials and acknowledges that FIIOC is not responsible for the accuracy of such third-party information. FIIOC shall seek the approval of the Fund Vendor prior to retaining any other third-party vendor to render such data or materials under this Agreement.

SCHEDULE “J” — BrokerageLink Administrative Procedures
This schedule sets forth the actions that Fidelity will take to rectify various situations that might arise in Participant Accounts. By signing this schedule, the Sponsor acknowledges that the terms of this schedule shall serve as standing instructions to Fidelity to take the appropriate action in response to a given situation, as described below, to comply with the Agreement and to facilitate customer service and operations processing.
Transfer of Assets out of BrokerageLink
In the following situations, Fidelity will initiate a liquidation and transfer of assets out of BrokerageLink, to the extent necessary to rectify the problem:
  Ø   Assets in BrokerageLink are from restricted sources. (A Plan may restrict assets from certain sources from being transferred to BrokerageLink.)
 
  Ø   Assets in BrokerageLink are from non-vested assets, if restricted. (A Plan may restrict non-vested assets from being transferred to BrokerageLink.)
 
  Ø   Assets in BrokerageLink are from a deposit via an unauthorized channel. (Participants may transfer assets to BrokerageLink only through the SPO recordkeeping system (payroll deduction to the SPO or exchange from another SPO investment option). Assets transferred into BrokerageLink in any other way are considered to have been transferred via an unauthorized channel.)
Fidelity will look to the BrokerageLink Core Account first. If the BrokerageLink Core Account does not contain sufficient assets, Fidelity will place a sell trade order(s) in the Participant’s Account. The securities that will be sold/liquidated will be selected on a last in — first out basis. Such liquidation will be limited to the number of shares necessary to correct the problem. Any trade related expenses (commissions or other fees) and realized gain or loss will be borne by the Participant Account, or if necessary, the SPO.
In the case of assets from restricted sources or from non-vested assets, those assets will be credited to the SPO Default Fund. In the case of assets deposited via an unauthorized channel, Fidelity will mail a check to the Participant.
Transfer of Assets into BrokerageLink
In the following situations, Fidelity will initiate a transfer of assets into BrokerageLink, to the extent necessary to rectify the problem:
  Ø   Assets withdrawn from BrokerageLink via an unauthorized channel. (Participants may transfer assets out of BrokerageLink only through the SPO recordkeeping system. Assets transferred out of BrokerageLink in any other way are considered to have been transferred via an unauthorized channel.)
 
  Ø   The BrokerageLink Core Account has a negative balance, due to an unsecured debit or overdraft.

71

 

In the event of an unauthorized channel withdrawal, Fidelity will contact the Participant and request that the withdrawn assets be returned to Fidelity. Fidelity will then redeposit the assets into the BrokerageLink Core Account. In the event of an unsecured debit or overdraft, Fidelity will look to the SPO first. If the SPO does not contain sufficient assets, Fidelity will place a sell trade order(s) in the Participant Account. The securities that will be sold/liquidated will be selected on a last in — first out basis. Such liquidation will be limited to the number of shares necessary to correct the problem. Any trade related expenses (commissions or other fees) and realized gain or loss will be borne by the Participant Account.
Fees / Distributions / Adjustments
All Plan related fees that are paid by the Participant and all distributions (minimum required distributions (MRD), systematic withdrawal payments (SWP), deminimus, etc.) are debited from the Participant’s SPO. If there are not enough assets in SPO to pay fees of any nature or make necessary distributions, then Fidelity will look to the Participant Account.
If there are sufficient assets in the BrokerageLink Core Account, then Fidelity will initiate the transfer to the SPO Default Fund to cover the fee or distribution. If the BrokerageLink Core Account does not contain sufficient assets, Fidelity will place a sell trade order(s) in the Participant Account. The securities that will be sold/liquidated will be selected on a last in - first out basis. Such liquidation will be limited to the amount/number of shares necessary to correct the problem, plus any additional amounts that may be necessary to cover market fluctuations. Any trade related expenses (commissions or other fees) and realized gain or loss will be borne by the Participant Account.
In the event that a removal of excess contributions is initiated in order to make an adjustment in response to non-discrimination testing (NDT) results, Fidelity will follow the procedure described above with regard to fees and distributions.
In the event of a deminimus distribution, all of the Participant’s BrokerageLink holdings (individual securities plus any amounts in the BrokerageLink Core Account) will be liquidated and moved to the SPO, in order to facilitate the distribution.
Restricted or Ineligible Securities
The Plan has designated that certain securities or security types be restricted from being purchased. If Fidelity identifies a restricted security that has been purchased, then Fidelity will place a sell trade order in the Participant Account to remove that security. Any trade related expenses (commissions or other fees) and realized gain or loss will be borne by the Participant Account, or if necessary, the SPO. The proceeds from the liquidated securities will be credited to the BrokerageLink Core Account.
Qualified Domestic Relation Orders (“QDRO’s”)
The Sponsor will notify Fidelity of the pending DRO and direct Fidelity to restrict the affected Participant Account in accordance with procedures documented in the Plan Administration Manual. If the DRO is

72

 

determined to be a QDRO, any and all liquidations and transfers of securities will be completed, upon Sponsor direction, in accordance with the procedures documented in the Plan Administration Manual.
Deaths
In the event of a Participant death, the Sponsor will advise Fidelity of the death and the Participant Account will be frozen to all activity and all Limited Trading Authorizations shall be terminated. Upon Sponsor direction, Fidelity will liquidate or transfer securities to the beneficiary’s account in accordance with the procedures documented in the Plan Administration Manual.

EXHIBIT A
FIDELITY RETIREMENT PLAN MANAGER® FEES
The annual advisory fee for Fidelity Retirement Plan Manager® will be assessed based on a percentage of the average daily balance of assets in the Plan account of each electing participant. The advisory fee will be charged to cover ongoing management of the assets in such participant’s Plan account, and related servicing and communication. The fee is payable quarterly in arrears, and will be calculated on the basis of daily participant balances, generally on the 25th day of the last month of the participant statement cycle quarter (or the next business day if the 25th is not a business day). In the event a participant’s participation in the Service is terminated before the end of a quarter, the fee will be prorated based on the number of days the account was managed during the quarter.
Unless paid by the Sponsor, the Trustee or its agent will redeem investments in the amount of the fee directly from the electing Plan participant’s plan account on the business day following the fee calculation. This amount will be noted on the participant’s statement.
The annual advisory fee will be calculated by deducting a credit amount (“Credit Amount”) from the maximum annual gross advisory fee. The annual gross fee amount is 1.10% for the first $50,000 in assets, with breakpoints that reduce the fee for higher balances to as low as 0.85%. This figure is then reduced by a Credit Amount of at least 0.50%. The gross advisory fee, breakpoints, minimum credit amount and maximum net advisory fee are set forth in the following schedule.
Fidelity Retirement Plan Manager®
ANNUAL ADVISORY FEE SCHEDULE
                         
    Maximum annual   Minimum credit   Maximum annual net
Average daily assets   gross advisory fee   amount   advisory fee
 
Up to $50,000
     1.10 %     0.50 %     0.60 %
For the next $200,000 or portion thereof
     1.00 %     0.50 %     0.50 %
For the next $250,000 or portion thereof
     0.90 %     0.50 %     0.40 %
All additional assets
     0.85 %     0.50 %     0.35 %
The purpose of the Credit Amount is to reduce the annual advisory fee by the amount of asset-based fees, if any, Strategic Advisers or its affiliates receive for management of Fidelity-Mutual Funds in which Managed Assets are invested, and for management or other services related to any other investment option offered under the Plan in which Managed Assets are invested.
This Credit Amount will be calculated daily in the following manner. For each investment option in an enrolled Plan participant’s account, an amount will be calculated equal to the greater of: (i) an amount equal to .50% per annum of all assets in that investment in such account; and (ii) either (a) the actual underlying investment management fees paid to Strategic Advisers or its affiliates from such investment if it is a Fidelity Mutual Fund (but not other fund expenses such as transfer agency fees); or (b) any servicing or other fees paid to any Fidelity InvestmentsÒ company based on assets or participants in any investment option other than Fidelity Mutual Funds. The resulting amounts for the funds in an electing Participant’s account will be added together to arrive at the total Credit Amount for such account. The total

83

EXHIBIT B
INVESTMENT GUIDELINES FOR
FIDELITY RETIREMENT PLANMANAGER®
The Investment Manager shall manage eligible assets in an enrolled participant’s Plan account, by selecting from among the investment options available to enrolled participants, in order to provide diversification appropriate for retirement investors with time horizons, financial situations and risk tolerance similar to the enrolled participant.
The Investment Manager shall establish target asset mixes that provide appropriate risk/reward trade-offs for various investor types found among participants in workplace savings plans, and shall assign each enrolled participant to the appropriate target asset mix based upon responses to standard questions provided by the enrolled participant. The target asset mixes shall have the following investment objectives:
Conservative: Income and conservative appreciation
Balanced: Capital appreciation and income
Growth: Growth
Aggressive Growth: Aggressive growth
The Investment Manager may establish additional target asset mixes, upon notice to the Company.
Enrolled participant assignments to target asset mixes shall be reviewed annually and also whenever an enrolled participant alerts the Investment Manager to a change in his or her situation. If appropriate, a new target mix will be assigned.
The Investment Manager shall design model portfolios appropriate for each target asset mix by selecting a combination of available investment options that tracks the risk and diversification attributes of the target asset mix, within an appropriate range. The Investment Manager shall consider other assets identified by the enrolled participant as retirement savings (including amounts held in other plans or accounts serviced by its affiliates) in determining a target asset mix appropriate for the participant, but shall not take such assets into account when constructing or assigning model portfolios to the enrolled participant.
The Investment Manager shall invest eligible amounts held in, or contributed to, the accounts of enrolled participants in accordance with the model portfolio, as it may be adjusted from time to time for market fluctuation, provided that the Investment Manager shall not manage amounts held in company stock, or contributions required to be invested in company stock. Enrolled participant accounts may be rebalanced at any time they deviate from the market-adjusted model portfolio by more than an appropriate drift allowance, as determined by the Investment Manager. The Investment Manager may change the model portfolios as appropriate for changes in the Plan’s investment options, market performance or economic conditions.
The Investment Manager shall have no independent obligation to value assets under its management, but shall instead rely upon valuations provided by the Trustee or its agent, or an external money manager, if applicable.

Special Guidelines for Company Stock Holdings
The Investment Manager will not invest Managed Assets in Company Stock. An enrolled Participant whose Plan account is invested in Company Stock will be offered the choice whether to have the Investment Manager ignore such holdings in assigning a target asset mix to the Participant or assign a target asset mix that counterbalances the risk characteristics associated with an investment in a single security. If a Participant elects to counterbalance the Company Stock holdings, the Investment Manager will assign the Participant to one of several target asset mixes established by the Investment Manager that account for varying levels of Company Stock in ten per cent increments, based on the Participant’s level of Company Stock holdings in his or her Plan account. The Investment Manager will then assign a model portfolio to the account pursuant to which the Participant’s non-Company Stock assets will be invested that is designed to counterbalance the risk characteristics of the percentage of Company Stock reflected in the Participants’ assigned target asset mix.
The Investment Manager shall not make decisions with respect to the exercise of any rights accruing to investment options, including without limitation, shareholder rights to vote proxies or tender or exchange shares, or rights arising out of bankruptcy or litigation. Decisions with respect to the exercise of any such rights shall be made in accordance with the provisions of the Trust Agreement, and the Investment Manager shall not be required to take such matters into account in making its investment decisions.
