The Committee shall adopt, and may from time to time modify or amend, such rules and guidelines consistent herewith as it deems necessary or appropriate for carrying out the provisions and purposes of the Plan, which, upon its adoption and so long as in effect, shall be deemed a part hereof to the same extent as if set forth in the Plan (hereinafter referred to as the “Administrative Guidelines”).

Eligibility

Eligibility. Each Highly Paid Employee who is a key Employee designated by the Committee and who satisfies such medical requirements as the Committee may impose, shall be eligible to participate in the Plan.

Participation and Deferral

Participation. An eligible Employee may become a Participant by completing a Deferred Compensation Agreement and filing it with the Corporation’s Secretary prior to the beginning of a Plan Year. The effective date of participation will be the first day of the Plan Year after the Deferred Compensation Agreement has been filed. In the Deferred Compensation Agreement, the Participant must indicate (a) the amount of Compensation the Participant wishes to defer (which must be at least One Thousand Dollars ($1,000), and must be in multiples of One Thousand Dollars ($1,000)), and (b) the three specific Plan Years during the Reduction Period in which the Participant wishes to defer. A Participant may redesignate the specific Plan Years during the Reduction Period in which he wishes to defer by entering into a new Deferred Compensation Agreement and redesignating the new Plan Years on the new Deferred Compensation Agreement, provided, however, that the new Deferred Compensation Agreement is executed prior to the beginning of a redesignated Plan Year. In this case, the new Deferred Compensation Agreement would amend the old Agreement. Otherwise, the Deferred Compensation Agreement is irrevocable and may not be amended prior to the completion of the deferrals.

A Participant may increase the amount deferred by entering into a new Deferred Compensation Agreement for the increase amount, subject to approval of the Committee. Execution of a new Deferred Compensation Agreement will result in a new Reduction Period for the increased deferral amount. A new Deferred Compensation Agreement will be in addition to, and not supersede, any existing Deferred Compensation Agreement. Participation in the Plan will be determined separately for each Deferred Compensation Agreement.

Deferral of Compensation. The Employer shall defer payment of the Participant’s Compensation in the manner and amount stated in his Deferred Compensation Agreement. Deferrals shall cease automatically once a Participant has deferred the total amount specified in his Deferred Compensation Agreement.

If a Participant is receiving long-term disability benefits from the Corporation’s Long-Term Disability Plan and suffers from a Disability during any of the Plan Years in which deferments are to be made such that Participant cannot continue his deferments as indicated in

the Deferred Compensation Agreement, none of the Participant’s benefits under the Plan shall be in any way reduced solely because the Participant cannot defer while under such a Disability. The Participant’s participation in the Plan will continue as if the Participant continued to make, and the Participant will be given credit for as if he had made, the deferments during the period of the Disability. If the Participant’s Disability ends prior to the Reduction Period, the Participant must resume making deferments in accordance with his Deferred Compensation Agreement.

Benefits

Normal Retirement Benefits. A Participant who has made sufficient deferrals for at least one Plan Year and who is sixty-five (65) years old, shall be entitled to receive Normal Retirement Benefits under this Plan. Normal Retirement Benefits shall be equal to the amount specified in the Participant’s Deferred Compensation Agreement multiplied by the ratio (expressed to the nearest thousandth of a percent) of: (a) the amount of deferrals the Participant has made pursuant to the terms of his Deferred Compensation Agreement to (b) the total amount of deferrals that the Participant indicated in his Deferred Compensation Agreement he would make during the Reduction Period. This amount shall be payable by the Corporation in fifteen (15) equal annual payments. The first payment shall begin on the later of: (a) the first day of the month following the last day of the Reduction Period, or (b) the first day of the month following the Participant’s sixty-fifth (65th) birthday, and subsequent payments shall be made on the same day of each subsequent year.

Early Retirement Benefits. In lieu of Normal Retirement Benefits, a Participant who has made sufficient deferrals for at least one Plan Year and who is retired and eligible for an earlier retirement benefit under the Pension Trust Plan may elect to receive Early Retirement Benefits under this Plan. Early Retirement Benefits shall be equal to the amount specified in the Participant’s Deferred Compensation Agreement multiplied by the ratio (expressed to the nearest thousandth of a percent) of: (a) the amount of deferrals the Participant has made pursuant to the terms of his Deferred Compensation Agreement to (b) the total amount of deferrals that the Participant indicated in his Deferred Compensation Agreement he would make during the Reduction Period. This amount shall be payable by the Corporation in fifteen (15) equal annual payments. The first payment shall begin on the later of: (a) the first day of the month following the last day of the Reduction Period, or (b) the first day of the month following the date on which Participant retires under the earlier retirement provisions under the Plan, and subsequent payments shall be made on the same day of each subsequent year.

Termination of Participation. A Participant’s participation will be terminated under the Plan only by Participant’s failure to complete deferrals for the first Plan Year that Participant has designated in his Deferred Compensation Agreement as the first Plan Year to defer, for any reason other than death. If Participant’s participation is terminated, then he shall receive a lump sum payment of the total amount of his Compensation deferred within sixty (60) days after the first day of the month following his termination of participation. The effective date of termination shall be the date of termination of employment if Employee’s employment is

terminated prior to completing deferrals for at least one Plan Year; otherwise, the date of termination shall be the first date of the next Plan Year following the first Plan Year designated by Participant as the first Plan Year to defer.

The transfer of a Participant from the payroll of one of the Employers hereunder to the payroll of one or more of the other Employers hereunder shall not be construed as a termination of employment for purposes of this Plan.

Pre-Retirement Survivor Benefits. Provided that a Participant’s participation in the Plan has not been terminated and Participant has not been paid any retirement benefits under his Deferred Compensation Agreement, then, upon Participant’s death, Participant’s Beneficiary (or Secondary Beneficiary, as the case may be) shall be entitled to receive the pre-retirement survivor benefits specified in the Participant’s Deferred Compensation Agreement. This amount shall be payable by the Corporation in fifteen (15) equal annual payments. The first payment shall be made as of the first day of the second month following the Participant’s death and subsequent payments shall be made on the same day of each subsequent year.

Benefits After Payments Begin Under This Plan. If a Participant should die after having been paid at least one payment of retirement benefits under either Section 6.01 or 6.02 of this Plan, the Participant’s Beneficiary (or Secondary Beneficiary, as the case may be) shall be entitled to receive the remaining retirement benefits payable to Participant at the same time and in the same manner as Participant would have received them.

If Participant’s Beneficiary (or Secondary Beneficiary) should die after having been paid at least one payment of survivor benefits, then the remaining survivor benefits shall be paid pursuant to the Last Will and Testament of the said Beneficiary (or Secondary Beneficiary) or in the absence of such a Will being admitted to probate within one year from the date of death, then to the Personal Representative of the said Beneficiary (or Secondary Beneficiary). Such payments shall be made at the same time and in the same manner as said Beneficiary (or Secondary Beneficiary) would have received them.

Discretionary Purchase of Policies

Discretionary Purchase of Policies. The Corporation may, but shall not be required to, offset its obligations under this Plan through the purchase of life insurance on the life of each Participant. Each Participant agrees to cooperate in the securing of life insurance on the Participant’s life by furnishing such information as the Corporation and the Insurance Company may require, taking such physical examinations as may be necessary and taking any other such action as may be requested by the Corporation and the Insurance Company to obtain such insurance coverage. If any Participant refuses to cooperate in the securing of life insurance, the Corporation shall have no further obligation to that Participant under this Plan.

Interest of Participant. Neither the Participant nor any Beneficiary shall have any interest in any Policy purchased under Section 7.01 nor in any other assets of the Corporation. The

Participant’s and Beneficiary’s only interest hereunder shall be the right to receive the benefits provided under the Plan. Nothing in this Plan shall be construed as the creation by the Corporation of an escrow account or trust fund or as any other form of asset segregation, it being the intention and understanding of the parties that the Corporation’s obligations under this Plan shall be unfunded and that the Participant and any Beneficiary shall, as to claims under this Plan, be no more than a general creditor of the Corporation.

Termination and Amendment

Termination and Amendment. The Board of Directors of the Corporation reserves in its sole and exclusive discretion the right at any time, and from time to time, to amend this Plan in any respect or terminate this Plan without restriction and without the consent of any Participant, Beneficiary, or Secondary Beneficiary, provided, however, that neither termination nor any amendment of the Plan may, without written approval of a Participant, reduce or terminate any benefit to or in respect of a Participant under this Plan.

Claims Procedure

Determination. The Committee shall be responsible for determining all claims for benefits under this Plan. Within ninety (90) days after receiving a claim, the Committee shall notify a claimant of its decision. If the decision is adverse to the claimant, the Committee shall advise him of the reasons for the decision, of the Plan provisions involved, of any additional information he must provide to perfect this claim and of his right to request a review of the decision.

Review. A claimant may request a review of an adverse decision by written request to the Committee made within sixty (60) days after receipt of the decision. The review shall be conducted by a separate committee consisting of three persons designated or appointed by the Committee. The separate committee shall afford the claimant a hearing and the opportunity to review all pertinent documents and submit issues and comment orally and in writing and shall render a review decision in writing all within sixty (60) days after receipt of a request for a review. The claimant shall receive written notice of the separate committee’s review decision, together with specific reasons for the decision and reference to the pertinent provisions of the Plan. The decision of the review committee shall be final and binding on the Corporation and Participant.

Miscellaneous Provisions

Binds Heirs, etc. This Plan shall be binding upon the heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns, as such terms shall apply, of any and all parties hereto, present and future.

No Guarantee of Employment. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to give any individual the right to be retained in the service of the Employer or to interfere with the rights of the Employer to discharge any individual at any time, with or without cause.

Nonalienation of Benefits. No benefits payable hereunder may be assigned, pledged, mortgaged or hypothecated and, to the extent permitted by law, no such benefits shall be subject to legal process or attachment for the payment of any claims against any person entitled to receive the same provided, however, that nothing herein shall be deemed to affect the rights of the Participant’s Beneficiary (or Secondary Beneficiary) to appoint the same by his or her Last Will and Testament.

PARTICIPATION AND DEFERRAL

- Participation

An eligible Employee may become a Participant effective only on the first day of a Plan Year. An eligible Employee becomes a Participant by completing an Election Form. The Election Form must be executed and filed with the Corporation’s Secretary before the performance of services for the Plan Year for which Compensation is to be earned and deferred. Execution of the Election Form will constitute an election to participate.

An election to participate must be made with respect to a stated amount (which must be at least One Thousand Dollars ($1,000) and must be in multiples of One Thousand Dollars ($1,000)) of Compensation to be earned for any Plan Year covered in the election to participate. An election to participate, once filed, is irrevocable for the Plan Year in which it is filed. An election to participate, once filed, applies to Compensation earned in later Plan Years in which a Participant is an Employee, unless revoked by written notice to the Corporation’s Secretary within thirty (30) days before the Plan Year.

The amount deferred for each Plan Year for which deferrals are to be made during the Reduction Period shall equal the amount specified in the Participant’s initial Election Form. However, a Participant may increase the amount deferred by entering into a new Election Form for the increased amount, subject to the approval of the Committee. Execution of a new Election Form will result in a new Reduction Period for the increased deferral amount. A new Election Form will be in addition to, and not supersede, any existing Election Form. Participation in the Plan will be determined separately for each Election Form.

- Deferral of Compensation

The Employer shall defer payment of the Participant’s Compensation as stated in his election to participate during any Plan Year in which a Participant has an election to participate in effect. Deferrals shall be made at the time and in the manner specified in the Participant’s Election Form. Deferrals shall not be made during any Plan Year for which a Participant has made an election not to have deferrals made. A Participant may elect- within thirty (30) days before each Plan Year not to have his Compensation deferred during the next Plan Year by so notifying (in writing) the Corporation’s Secretary. A Participant may reinstitute the deferral as of

the beg-inning of any subsequent Plan Year if he so notifies the Corporation’s Secretary in writing within thirty (30) days prior to the beginning of such Plan Year. Deferrals shall cease automatically once a Participant has deferred his Compensation for the number of Plan Years required to be entitled to benefits under the Plan.

If an Employee’s Compensation while still employed is interrupted during a Plan Year so that it is impossible for the Participant to defer the total amount that he elected to defer for that Plan Year, that Plan Year shall be deemed to be a Plan Year for which the Participant had elected not to have deferrals made. The amount deferred during such Plan Year shall be applied toward the deferrals to be made by the Participant for the next Plan Year for which the Participant has an election to participate in effect, and the amount to be deferred for such Plan Year shall be automatically adjusted to be the remaining amount necessary to equal the deferral amount stated in the Participant’s Election Form.
