The Plan, as set forth herein, is considered to be a “Top-Hat Plan” as defined in DOL Regulation Section 2520.104-24 for purposes of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”).

1.2 Definitions

For purposes of this Plan, unless otherwise clearly apparent from the context, the following phrases or terms shall have the following indicated meanings:

	(a)		“Base Salary” means the annual cash compensation relating to services performed during any calendar year, excluding distributions from nonqualified deferred compensation plans, bonuses, commissions, overtime, fringe benefits, stock options, relocation expenses, incentive payments, non-monetary awards, director fees and other fees, and automobile and other allowances paid to a Participant for employment services rendered (whether or not such allowances are included in the Participant’s gross income). Base Salary shall be calculated before reduction for compensation voluntarily deferred or contributed by the Participant pursuant to all qualified or non-qualified plans of the Company and shall be calculated to include amounts not otherwise included in the Participant’s gross income under Code Sections 125, 402(e)(3), 402(h), or 403(b) pursuant to plans established by the Company; provided, however, that all such amounts will be included in compensation only to the extent that had there been no such plan, the amount would have been payable in cash to the Participant.

			For purposes of determining a Participant’s Base Salary for premium purposes pursuant to Section 2 for any Policy Year, up to and including the Policy Year in which the Participant Retires, becomes Disabled, or experiences a Termination of Employment, the Participant’s Base Salary shall be measured and annualized as of the March 31 preceding the date on which such Participant Retires, becomes Disabled or experiences a Termination of Employment. If a Participant’s Base Salary increases after the Committee has determined the amount of such

			Participant’s Base Salary for premium purposes for a particular Policy Year, the amount of the Participant’s increased Base Salary shall not be considered for purposes of this Plan until the next Policy Year. For purposes of determining a Participant’s Base Salary for premium purposes pursuant to Section 2 after the Policy Year in which the Participant Retires, becomes Disabled, or experiences a Termination of Employment, the Participant’s Base Salary shall be measured and annualized as of the March 31 preceding the date on which such Participant Retired, became Disabled, or experienced a Termination of Employment.

Each Plan Agreement executed by a Participant and the Company shall provide for the entire benefit to which such Participant is entitled under the Plan; should there be more than one Plan Agreement, the Plan Agreement bearing the latest date of acceptance by the Company shall supersede all previous Plan Agreements in their entirety and shall govern such entitlement. The terms of any Plan Agreement may be different for any Participant, and any Plan Agreement may provide additional benefits not set forth in the Plan or limit the benefits otherwise provided under the Plan; provided, however, that any such additional benefits or benefit limitations must be agreed to by both the Company and the Participant.

The Participant agrees to cooperate in applying for and obtaining an insurance policy on his or her life. The selection of the life insurance policy used for this Plan shall be at the sole discretion of the Company. The Policy shall be issued in the name of the Participant as the sole and exclusive owner of the Policy. The Participant shall have the right to name the beneficiary of the Policy proceeds.

additional coverage.

Subject to subsections 2.1 and 2.2 above, if a Participant becomes Disabled, the Company shall continue to pay premiums to the Insurance Company on behalf of the Participant during each Policy Year until the later of (i) twenty-four (24) months following the date of such Participant’s Disability, (ii) the end of the Policy Year in which the Participant attains age sixty (60), or (ii) the end of the Policy Year in which the Participant attains ten (10) Years of Plan Participation (or such longer period as the Committee deems appropriate in its sole discretion). The amount of the premiums due in each Policy Year shall be determined based on the following

assumptions regardless of whether such assumptions are applicable at the time any premium is paid: (i) premiums shall be made over the Projected Premium Payment Period, (ii) premiums shall assume current carrier rates for a standard nonsmoker in effect for that Policy Year, (iii) a death benefit equal to three (3) times Base Salary, calculated in accordance with subparagraph 1.2(a), shall be provided for a period of twenty-four (24) months following the date of the Participant’s Disability, and (iv) after the expiration of twenty-four (24) months following the Participant’s Disability, the Policy shall have sufficient cash value (assuming standard nonsmoker rates) to sustain a death benefit equal to one (1) times the Participant’s Base Salary, calculated in accordance with subparagraph 1.2(a), projected to endow at age 95.

2.7 Company’s Payment of Premiums During Authorized Absences from Employment

Subject to subsections 2.1 and 2.2 above, the Company shall continue to pay premiums to the Insurance Company on behalf of the Participant during each Policy Year in which a Participant is authorized by the Company to take (i) a paid or unpaid leave of absence from the employment of the Company, or (ii) an authorized leave of absence from the employment of the Company pursuant to the Family and Medical Leave Act.

4.4 Decision on Review

The Committee shall render its decision on review promptly, and no later than sixty (60) days after the Committee receives the Claimant’s written request for a review of the denial of the claim.

In no event shall such extension exceed a period of sixty (60) days from the end of the initial period. The extension notice shall indicate the special circumstances requiring an extension of time and the date by which the Committee expects to render the benefit determination. In rendering its decision, the Committee shall take into account all comments, documents, records and other information submitted by the Claimant relating to the claim, without regard to whether such information was submitted or considered in the initial benefit determination.

Benefits will be paid under the Plan only if the Committee or its delegate determines in its discretion that the applicant is entitled to them.

6.2 Termination

The Plan, as applied to all Employers, may be terminated at any time by action of the then Employers hereunder, and the Plan as applied to any single Employer may be terminated at any time by such Employer, subject only to the same limitations with respect to the effect of any such termination as are set forth in subsection 6.1 with respect to amendments of the Plan.

6.3 Mergers and Acquisitions

Notwithstanding any Plan provision to the contrary, in the case of any merger or consolidation with, or acquisition of another business by the Company (whether a division or Subsidiary), the provisions of the Plan, as applicable to employees of such business (e.g., eligibility, enrollment, evidence of good health, etc.) will be as specified in the Purchase Agreement between the Company and such other business, and if not so specified, shall apply as if such business was a new participating Employer hereunder and such employees were newly hired employees of such Employer. If the Purchase Agreement provides that the Company will credit the employees of such business with service, then, in the Company’s discretion, such employees will not be treated as newly hired employees of such Employer for purposes of eligibility, enrollment, evidence of good health, etc.
