Purpose and Construction

1.1 Purpose. The purpose of the Plan is to provide non-employee directors and a select group of management and highly compensated employees who have contributed to, and are expected to continue to contribute to, the growth, development and business success of PerkinElmer, Inc. with an opportunity to defer receipt of their compensation in order to build savings.

1.2 Status of Plan. The Plan is intended to be a plan that is not qualified within the meaning of Code section 401(a) and that “is unfunded and is maintained by an employer primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation for a select group of management or highly compensated employees” within the meaning of ERISA Sections 201(2), 301(a)(3) and 401(a)(1). The Plan is also intended to provide for deferred compensation that is subject to and compliant with the requirements of section 409A of the Code. The Plan shall be administered and interpreted to the extent possible in a manner consistent with that intent.

1.3 Effective Date. The Plan is generally effective January 1, 2008, except that the provisions implementing the requirements of section 409A of the Code are effective January 1, 2005. This Plan replaces the Prior Plan, which remains in existence solely to hold amounts grandfathered from the application of section 409A of the Code to the extent that such amounts were earned and vested as of December 31, 2004 and not materially modified subsequent to January 1, 2005.

-7-

ARTICLE 4

Deferral Elections

4.1 In General. The election to defer the receipt of Eligible Compensation shall be made in the form prescribed by the Administrator and shall apply separately to each type of Eligible Compensation to be deferred. The Administrator may in its sole discretion establish a minimum deferral amount at any time or from time to time, may increase the maximum amount which may be deferred and may establish different minimum and maximum deferral amounts for different Participants. If no election is made, the amount deferred shall be zero.

4.2 Timing of Election.

(a) Generally. A new election regarding Elective Deferrals will be required for each Plan Year. An election form must be delivered, in accordance with procedures established by the Administrator, before the end of the Plan Year preceding the Plan Year for which the election is to be effective, except as provided in paragraphs (b) through (e), below. No election shall be required with respect to Employer Contributions.

(b) Initial Year of Eligibility. To the extent provided by the Administrator, elections for the Plan Year in which an individual first becomes an Eligible Executive or Eligible Director may be made within 30 days after such individual becomes an Eligible Executive or is elected as an Eligible Director. If an individual first becomes a Participant after the first day of a Plan Year, the election to defer shall only apply to that portion of the Eligible Compensation which has not yet been earned by the Participant as of the date the election is accepted by the Administrator.

(c) Certain Forfeitable Rights. With respect to Eligible Compensation that is subject to a condition that the Eligible Executive provide at least 12 months of vesting service from the date the Eligible Executive obtains a “legally binding right” to such compensation (i.e. the grant date of a restricted stock or performance unit award, to the extent such compensation is determined to be Eligible Compensation), an election to defer such compensation may, if permitted by the Administrator, be made on or before the 30 ^th day following such date, provided the election is made at least 12 months in advance of the vesting date.

(d) Performance-Based Compensation. If the Committee determines that Eligible Compensation qualifies as “performance-based compensation” within the meaning of section 409A of the Code, the Eligible Employee’s election to defer compensation with respect to such Eligible Compensation may be made at such time as is permitted by Treas. Reg. §1.409A-2(a)(8), provided such Eligible Executive is continuously employed through such date.

(e) Timing of Elections for 2005. Pursuant to IRS Notice 2005-1, on or before March 15, 2005, Participants may make an election to defer compensation for service performed on or before December 31, 2005 but which had not yet been paid or became payable at the time of the election.

-8-

(f) Effectiveness. An election shall be effective only upon its acceptance by the Company through transmission to the Vice President-Compensation, Benefits and HRIM or his or her designee.

4.3 Irrevocability. An election shall be irrevocable once accepted as final by the Administrator, and may not be revoked changed or altered, except as provided in this Section 4.3. Notwithstanding the foregoing, annual elections made under Section 4.2(a) shall be revocable as defined by the Administrator but no later than December 31, at which point they will become irrevocable.

-9-

ARTICLE 5

Contributions and Accounts

5.1 Participant Accounts. The Administrator shall establish an Account on the books and records of the Company to which shall be credited a Participant’s Elective Deferrals and Employer Contributions. The Administrator may establish one or more sub-accounts to reflect the Plan Year in which such deferral is made and the type of Eligible Compensation (or Employer Contribution) to which such sub account relates.

5.2 Vesting. A Participant shall be at all times 100% vested in his or her Account, except as otherwise determined by the Committee.

5.3 Timing of Credits.

(a) Elective Deferrals attributable to a deferral in Base Salary shall be withheld from each regularly scheduled payroll in equal amounts, and likewise credited to a Participant’s Account.

(b) Elective Deferrals attributable to a deferral of bonus, performance units or an Eligible Director’s annual retainer or stock award shall be withheld and credited to a Participant’s Account at the time the compensation would have been paid to the Participant, whether or not this occurs during the Plan Year itself.

(c) Elective Deferrals attributable to a deferral of restricted stock shall be credited to a Participant’s Account immediately prior to such time as the restricted stock becomes vested.

(d) Employer Contributions shall be credited to a Participant’s Account within 180 days of the close of the Plan Year to which the contribution relates.

5.4 Measurement Funds.

(a) Accounting. The Administrator shall increase or decrease the balance in each Account as follows: (i) by adding the amount of the Participant’s Elective Deferrals and the amount of any Employer Contributions or other contributions or transfers to the Plan, (ii) crediting or debiting each Account with earnings and losses of the Measurement Funds, and (iii) subtracting distributions made to or on behalf of the Participant under this Plan.

(b) Earnings. The Participant, in any manner permitted by the Administrator, may elect, from time to time, the Measurement Fund in which his or her Account shall be treated as having been invested. A Participant’s Accounts shall be treated as if invested in accordance with the Participant’s election, as determined by the Administrator, for purposes of debiting or crediting the balance in such Accounts to reflect the performance of the Measurement Fund. If the Administrator or the trustee of any trust established with respect to this Plan invests any assets in the investments selected as the Measurement Funds, no Participant shall have any right in or to such investments themselves, and the Participant’s rights shall at all times be only to receive the amount calculated under the terms of this Plan from the Company.

-10-

(c) Company Stock Fund. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any election of the Company Stock Fund cannot be changed, except prospectively with respect to future contributions. In the case of deferrals of the receipt of Company stock, such deferrals shall be invested solely in the Company Stock Fund. Any amounts deferred representing shares of Company common stock shall be accounted for on a share by share basis, with appropriate adjustments to reflect changes in the capital structure of the Company, and shall, when distributed, be distributed in the form of common stock of the Company, subject to Section 13.3. Dividends shall be automatically reinvested in the Company Stock Fund

(d) Expenses. In the discretion of the Administrator, plan expenses may be allocated to and reduce the balance in Participants’ Accounts. Any such allocation shall be borne equitably, as determined by the Administrator, among similarly situated Participants.

5.5 Special Transition Credit. The Account of any Participant who was given the opportunity to make a Transition Election with respect to his or her account under the Prior Plan shall be credited with an amount equal to his or her account balance under the Prior Plan at the time of the Transition Election.

5.6 Deferrals from Other Plans. The Committee may direct the Administrator and trustee to accept the transfer of amounts deferred by a Participant under a deferral plan or arrangement sponsored by the Company, another Participating Employer or by a former employer of the Participant.

5.7 Employment Taxes. For each Plan Year, arrangements satisfactory to the Administrator (including withholding from other compensation payable to the Participant) shall be made for the payment of the Participant’s share of any employment or other taxes payable with respect to Elective Deferrals, Employer Contributions and any earnings thereon.

-11-

ARTICLE 6

Distributions

6.1 Distributions. A Participant shall receive a distribution of his or her Accounts on the date, and in the form, elected by the Participant, subject to the provisions of this ARTICLE 6. All distributions under this Plan shall be in cash, except that any amount treated as invested in the Company Stock Fund under Section 5.4(b) shall be distributed in shares of voting common stock of the Company, valued at the time of distribution. The amount of distribution shall be reduced by applicable withholding in accordance with Section 13.3.

6.2 Election of Time and Form of Distribution. At the time of a deferral election under Section 4.2 or, in the case of Employer Contributions, before the expiration of the Plan Year preceding the Plan Year to which such Employer Contribution relates, each Participant shall elect the time of (in accordance with Section 6.3) and form of (in accordance with Section 6.4) distribution of Elective Deferrals and Employer Contributions for the applicable Plan Year. Elections shall be made on a year-by-year basis and different elections may be made with respect to the different types of Elective Deferrals and with respect to Employer Contributions. Such election shall, subject to Sections 6.5 and 6.6, be irrevocable except as provided in Section 6.7 or 6.8. In the absence of a timely election of an alternate time and form of distribution, a Participant’s vested account shall be paid in a lump sum upon Termination of Employment.

6.3 Time of Distribution. A Participant shall elect to have all or a portion of his or her Account distributed, subject to Section 6.5 and Section 6.6:

(a) On such specified quarterly date(s) as permitted by the Administrator; or

(b) Upon the quarterly distribution date next following Termination of Employment or other separation from service, subject to Section 6.9.

(c) The Participant’s election of a date of distribution may only be changed consistent with Section 6.7.

Notwithstanding a Participant’s election of a specified distribution date, if the Participant has a Termination of Employment (including by reason of death) prior to the elected distribution date, the Participant’s Account shall be distributed in a single lump sum payment, except as permitted under Section 6.4 with respect to elections of installment distributions in connection with Terminations of Employment after attainment of Normal Retirement Age. This payment upon earlier Termination of Employment is intended to provide for payment on the “earlier” of two events in accordance with Treas. Reg. §1.409(a)-3(b).

-12-

6.4 Form of Distribution. A Participant shall elect, with respect to distributions on a specified date or with respect to distributions on account of Termination of Employment after attainment of Normal Retirement Age, that distributions may be made in a lump sum or in installments of from 2 to 10 years. Each installment distribution is treated as a “separate payment” for purposes of Code section 409A. If installments are elected, then the specified date of each installment shall be the anniversary of the first installment. The installment shall be calculated by multiplying the balance in the Account (or sub account) being distributed by a fraction, the numerator of which is one, and the denominator of which is the remaining number of annual payments due the Participant. Installment payments of amounts deferred in the form of Company Stock shall be determined using the procedures set forth in the preceding sentence, except that no fractional shares shall be distributed. By way of example, if the Participant elects 10 year installments, the first payment shall be ¹ / 10 of the Account with respect to which this election is made. The following year, the payment shall be ¹ / 9 of the then value of the Account, etc.

6.5 Automatic Distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing:

(a) All distributions, regardless of the date for distribution elected by the Participant, must commence no later than the calendar year following Termination of Employment or, with respect to Eligible Directors, termination of service as a director of the Company.

(b) In the case of a Participant whose employment terminates before attaining Normal Retirement Age, distributions may only be made in the form of a lump sum.

(c) If a Participant dies before his or her Account is completely distributed, the Participant’s remaining Accounts shall continue in effect under the terms of this Plan and shall be paid to the Participant’s Beneficiary in the form of a lump sum within 180 days of the date of death.

6.6 Additional Distribution Provisions.

(a) Distribution on Change in Control. A Participant may elect to receive a distribution of upon a Change in Control. If such an election is in force with respect to a Participant upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, amounts payable on a Change in Control shall be paid to him or her in a lump sum as soon as possible following the occurrence of the Change in Control, but in no event later than 90 days following such event.

(b) Distribution for Unforeseeable Emergencies. If the Participant experiences an Unforeseeable Emergency, the Participant may request, in writing, a partial or full distribution from the Plan. The distribution shall not exceed the lesser of the sum of the Participant’s Account, calculated as if such Participant were receiving a distribution, in a lump sum, on termination of employment, or the amount reasonably needed to satisfy the Unforeseeable Emergency as determined by the Committee. In no event may the distribution pursuant to this Section 6.6(b) exceed the amounts necessary to satisfy such emergency plus amounts necessary to pay taxes reasonably anticipated as a result of the distribution, after taking into account the extent to which such hardship is or may be relieved through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise or by liquidation of the participant’s assets (to the extent the liquidation of such assets would not itself cause severe financial hardship). Distributions shall be made from all subaccounts proportionately. If the Committee grants the request for a distribution, it shall be made within 60 days of the date of approval.

-13-

(c) Tax Reimbursement Distribution. If, for any reason, all or any portion of a Participant’s benefits under this Plan becomes taxable to the Participant, the Participant shall receive in distribution a Tax Reimbursement Distribution no later than the end of the year following the year the Participant remits the tax on such benefits. A Tax Reimbursement Distribution shall be accounted for as a distribution and shall reduce a Participant’s Account in a like amount.

6.7 Subsequent Deferral Election. A Participant may make a second election to change the time and form of the payment of the Participant’s Account previously elected pursuant to this Article 6, if:

(a) the second election defers payment for a period of not less than 5 years for the date such payment would otherwise have been made;

(b) the second election is made not less than 12 months prior to the date of the first scheduled payment; and

(c) The second election does not take effect until at least 12 months after the date on which the election is made.

6.8 Transition Election. Participants may change the time or form of payment of the balance in his or her Account as of December 31, 2007 by means of a valid Transition Election completed prior to December 7, 2007.

6.9 Restriction on Distribution to Specified Employees. Notwithstanding the terms of any election or Plan provision, distribution to a Specified Employee made on account of separation from service may not be made before the quarterly distribution date (the “New Payment Date”) next following the date which is 6 months and 1 day after the date of separation from service as determined under section 409A of the Code. Distributions that otherwise would have been paid to the Participant during the period between the separation from service and the New Payment Date shall be paid to the Participant in a lump sum on such New Payment Date. Thereafter, any payments that remain outstanding as of the day immediately following the New Payment Date shall be paid without delay over the time period originally scheduled, in accordance with the terms of the Plan and the Participant’s election.

The Company and trustee shall be entitled to rely on the last Beneficiary designation made by the Participant and accepted by the Administrator prior to his or her death.

7.3 No Beneficiary Designation. If a Participant fails to designate a Beneficiary as provided in this ARTICLE 7, or if all designated Beneficiaries predecease the Participant or die prior to complete distribution of the Participant’s benefits, then the Participant’s designated Beneficiary shall be deemed to be his or her surviving spouse. If the Participant has no surviving spouse, the benefits remaining under the Plan to be paid to a Beneficiary shall be payable to the then living issue of the Participant per stirpes and, if there is no such issue, to the executor or personal representative of the Participant’s estate.

7.4 Doubt as to Beneficiary.

8.1 Paid Leave of Absence. If a Participant is authorized by the Company for any reason to take a paid leave of absence the Participant shall continue to be considered employed and the deferral elections shall continue during such paid leave of absence, unless and until such time as such leave of absence results in a Termination of Employment under the Plan.

8.2 Unpaid Leave of Absence. If a Participant is authorized by the Company for any reason to take an unpaid leave of absence from the employment of the Employer, the Participant shall continue to be considered employed (unless and until such time as such leave of absence results in a Termination of Employment under the Plan) but the Participant shall be excused from making deferrals until the earlier of the date the leave of absence expires or the Participant returns to a paid employment status, except that deferral elections with respect to restricted stock shall be honored. Upon such expiration or return and absent a Termination of Employment, deferrals shall resume for the remaining portion of the Plan Year in which the expiration or return occurs, based on the deferral election, if any, made for that Plan Year. If no election was made for that Plan Year, no deferral shall be withheld.

8.3 Disability. A Participant who is disabled and receiving short or long term disability payments from the Company’s disability carrier shall be treated in the same manner as a Participant on an authorized, unpaid leave of absence until the Participant’s employment is terminated or the Participant returns to active employment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent a disabled Participant is utilizing paid time off or is receiving similar leave or vacation pay from the Company, the Participant’s deferral elections shall continue.

12.1 Establishment of the Trust. The Company and each Participating Employer may establish one or more Trusts and the Company shall at least annually transfer over to the Trust such assets as the Company and each Participating Employer determines, in its sole discretion, are necessary to provide for its liabilities under the Plan.

12.2 Interrelationship of the Plan and the Trust. The provisions of the Plan shall govern the rights of a Participant to receive distributions pursuant to the Plan.

ARTICLE 13

Miscellaneous

13.1 Other Benefits and Agreements. The benefits provided for a Participant and such Participant’s Beneficiary under the Plan are in addition to any other benefits available to such Participant under any other plan or program for employees of the Company. The Plan shall supplement and shall not supersede, modify or amend any other such plan or program except as may otherwise be expressly provided.

13.2 Unsecured General Creditor. Participants and their Beneficiaries, heirs, successors and assigns shall have no legal or equitable rights, interests or claims in any property or assets of the Company or any Participating Employer. For purposes of the payment of benefits under this Plan, any and all of the assets of the Company or Participating Employer shall be, and remain, the general, unpledged unrestricted assets of the Company or Participating Employer, respectively. Their obligation under the Plan shall be merely that of an unfunded and unsecured promise to pay money in the future.

13.3 Withholding. Any withholding required under any applicable law with respect to any payment under this Plan shall be made as determined by the Administrator. Upon the distribution of shares of Company stock, to the extent that the tax withholding obligation resulting from such distribution exceeds the amount of cash included in such distribution, then such portion of the shares included in such distribution will, with no further action by the Participant, be automatically sold such that the proceeds of such sale equal (as nearly as reasonably possible) the minimum statutory withholding obligations, based on the minimum statutory withholding rates for federal and state tax purposes, including payroll taxes, that result form such distribution. This automatic sale provision is intended to comply with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c)(1) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and shall be interpreted to comply with the requirements of such rule.

13.4 Payments that Would Violate Federal Securities Laws. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, any payment scheduled to be made under the Plan will be delayed if the Company reasonably anticipates that the making of the payment will violate federal securities laws or other applicable law. Any such delayed payment will be made at the earliest date at which the Company reasonably anticipates that the making of the payment will not cause such violation.

13.5 Deduction Limitation on Benefit Payments. If the Company reasonably anticipates that its deduction with respect to any distribution from this Plan would be limited or eliminated by application of Code section 162(m), then to the extent permitted by Treas. Reg. §1.409A-2(b)(7)(i), payment may be delayed as deemed necessary to ensure that the entire amount of any distribution from this Plan is deductible. Any amounts for which distribution is delayed pursuant to this Section shall continue to be credited/debited with additional amounts in accordance with Article 5. The delayed amounts (and any amounts credited thereon) shall be distributed to the Participant (or his or her Beneficiary in the event of the Participant’s death) at the earliest date the Company reasonably anticipates that the deduction of the payment of the amount will not be limited or eliminated by application of Code section 162(m). In the event that such date is determined to be after

-22-

a Participant’s Termination of Employment and the Participant to whom the payment relates is determined to be a Specified Employee, then to the extent deemed necessary to comply with Treas. Reg. §1.409A-3(i)(2), the delayed payment shall not made before the end of the six-month period following such Participant’s Termination of Employment. This provision shall not be applicable to Terminations of Employment made in connection with a Change in Control.

13.6 Nonassignability. Neither a Participant nor any other person shall have any right to commute, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, anticipate, mortgage or otherwise encumber, transfer, hypothecate, alienate or convey in advance of actual receipt, the amounts, if any, payable hereunder, or any part thereof, which are, and all rights to which are expressly declared to be, unassignable and non-transferable. No part of the amounts payable shall, prior to actual payment, be subject to seizure, attachment, garnishment or sequestration for the payment of any debts, judgments, alimony or separate maintenance owed by a Participant or any other person, be transferable by operation of law in the event of a Participant’s or any other person’s bankruptcy or insolvency or be transferable to a spouse as a result of a property settlement or otherwise.

13.7 Not a Contract of Employment. The terms and conditions of this Plan shall not be deemed to constitute a contract of employment between the Company or any Participating Employer and the Participant. Such employment is hereby acknowledged to be an “at will” employment relationship that can be terminated at any time for any reason, or no reason, with or without cause, and with or without notice, unless otherwise expressly provided in a written employment agreement. Nothing in this Plan shall be deemed to give a Participant the right to be retained in the service of the Company or any Participating Employer or to interfere with the right of the Company or any Participating Employer to discipline or discharge the Participant at any time.

13.8 Furnishing Information. A Participant or his or her Beneficiary will cooperate with the Committee by furnishing any and all information requested by the Committee and take such other actions as may be requested in order to facilitate the administration of the Plan and the payments of benefits hereunder, including but not limited to taking such physical examinations as the Committee may deem necessary.

13.9 Discharge of Obligations. The payment of benefits under the Plan to a Beneficiary shall fully and completely discharge the Company, the Committee and the Administrator from all further obligations under this Plan with respect to the Participant.

13.10 Governing Law. Subject to ERISA, the provisions of this Plan shall be construed and interpreted according to the internal laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts without regard to its conflicts of laws principles.

13.11 Notice. Any notice or filing required or permitted to be given to the Committee under this Plan shall be sufficient if in writing and hand-delivered, or sent by registered or certified mail, to the address below:

Compensation and Benefits Committee

c/o Corporate Compensation Department

PerkinElmer, Inc.

940 Winter Street

Such notice shall be deemed given as of the date of delivery or, if delivery is made by mail, as of the date shown on the postmark on the receipt for registration or certification.

Any notice or filing required or permitted to be given to a Participant under this Plan shall be sufficient if in writing and hand-delivered, or sent by mail, to the last known address of the Participant.

13.12 Successors. The provisions of this Plan shall bind and inure to the benefit of the Company or any Participating Employer and their successors and assigns and the Participant and the Participant’s designated Beneficiaries.

13.13 Validity. In case any provision of this Plan shall be illegal or invalid for any reason, said illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts hereof, but this Plan shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal or invalid provision had never been inserted herein.

13.14 Incompetent. If the Committee determines in its discretion that a benefit under this Plan is to be paid to a minor, a person declared incompetent or to a person the Committee determines in good faith to be incapable of handling the disposition of that person’s property, the Committee may direct payment of such benefit to the guardian, legal representative or person having the care and custody of such minor, incompetent or incapable person. The Committee may require proof of minority, incompetence, incapacity or guardianship, as it may deem appropriate prior to distribution of the benefit. Any payment of a benefit shall be a payment for the account of the Participant and the Participant’s Beneficiary, as the case may be, and shall be a complete discharge of any liability under the Plan for such payment amount.

Reg. Section 1.409A-3(i)(5)(vii)(B).

An event constitutes a Change in Control with respect to a Participant only if the Participant performs services for the Participating Employer that has experienced the Change in Control, or the Participant’s relationship to the affected Participating Employer otherwise satisfies the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(5)(ii). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, with respect to a Participating Employer that is a partnership or limited liability company, Change in Control means only a change in the ownership of such entity or a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of such entity, and the provisions set forth above respecting such changes relative to a corporation shall be applied by analogy. Any reference to a “majority shareholder” shall be treated as referring to a partner or member that (a) owns more than 50% of the capital and profits interest of such entity, and (b) alone or together with others is vested with the continuing exclusive authority to make management decisions necessary to conduct the business for which the partnership or limited liability company was formed.

ARTICLE IV

Deferrals

4.1 Deferral Elections, Generally.

(a) An Eligible Employee may make an initial election to defer Compensation by submitting a Compensation Deferral Agreement during the enrollment periods established by the Committee and in the manner specified by the Committee, but in any event, in accordance with Section 4.2. Unless an earlier date is specified in the Compensation Deferral Agreement, deferral elections with respect to a Compensation source (such as salary, bonus or other Compensation) become irrevocable on the latest date applicable to such Compensation source under Section 4.2.

(b) A Compensation Deferral Agreement that is not timely filed with respect to a service period or component of Compensation, or that is submitted by a Participant who Separates from Service prior to the latest date such agreement would become irrevocable under Section 409A, shall be considered null and void and shall not take effect with respect to such item of Compensation. The Committee may modify or revoke any Compensation Deferral Agreement prior to the date the election becomes irrevocable under the rules of Section 4.2.

(c) The Committee may permit different deferral amounts for each component of Compensation and may establish a minimum or maximum deferral amount for each such component. Unless otherwise specified by the Committee in the Compensation Deferral Agreement, Participants may defer up to (75%) of their base compensation and up to (100%) of bonus, commissions, or other Compensation earned during a Plan Year.

(d) Deferrals of cash Compensation shall be calculated with respect to the gross cash Compensation payable to the Participant prior to any deductions or withholdings, but shall be reduced by the Committee as necessary so as not to exceed 100% of the cash Compensation of the Participant remaining after deduction of all required income and employment taxes, required employee benefit deductions, deferrals to 401(k) plans and other deductions required by law. Changes to payroll withholdings that affect the amount of Compensation being deferred to the Plan shall be allowed only to the extent permissible under Code Section 409A. The Eligible Employee shall specify on his or her Compensation Deferral Agreement the amount of Deferrals and whether to allocate Deferrals to the Retirement Account or to one or more Flex Accounts. If no designation is made, Deferrals shall be allocated to the Retirement Account.

4.2 Timing Requirements for Compensation Deferral Agreements.

(a) Initial Eligibility. The Committee may permit an Eligible Employee to defer Compensation earned in the first year of eligibility. The Compensation Deferral Agreement must be filed within 30 days after attaining Eligible Employee status and becomes irrevocable not later than the 30th day.

A Compensation Deferral Agreement filed under this paragraph applies to Compensation earned after the date that the Compensation Deferral Agreement becomes irrevocable.

(b) Prior Year Election. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 4.2, the Committee may permit an Eligible Employee to defer Compensation by filing a Compensation Deferral Agreement no later than December 31 of the year prior to the year in which the Compensation to be deferred is earned. A Compensation Deferral Agreement filed under this paragraph shall become irrevocable with respect to such Compensation not later than the December 31 filing deadline.

(c) Performance-Based Compensation. The Committee may permit an Eligible Employee to defer Compensation which qualifies as Performance-Based Compensation by filing a Compensation Deferral Agreement no later than the date that is six months before the end of the applicable performance period, provided that:

(i) the Participant performs services continuously from the later of the beginning of the performance period or the date the performance criteria are established through the date the Compensation Deferral Agreement is submitted; and

(ii) the Compensation is not readily ascertainable as of the date the Compensation Deferral Agreement is filed.

Any election to defer Performance-Based Compensation that is made in accordance with this paragraph and that becomes payable as a result of the Participant’s death or disability (as defined in Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-1(e)) or upon a change in control (as defined in Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-3(i)(5)) prior to the satisfaction of the performance criteria, will be void unless it would be considered timely under another rule described in this Section.

(d) Short-Term Deferrals. The Committee may permit Compensation that meets the definition of a “short-term deferral” described in Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A- 1(b)(4) to be deferred in accordance with the rules of Section 6.9, applied as if the date the Substantial Risk of Forfeiture lapses is the date payments were originally scheduled to commence, provided, however, that the provisions of Section 6.9(b) shall not apply to payments attributable to a change in control (as defined in Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-3(i)(5)). A Compensation Deferral Agreement submitted in accordance with this paragraph becomes irrevocable on the latest date it could be submitted under Section 6.9.

(e) Certain Forfeitable Rights. With respect to a legally binding right to a payment in a subsequent year that is subject to a forfeiture condition requiring the Participant’s continued services for a period of at least 12 months from the date

the Participant obtains the legally binding right, the Committee may permit an Eligible Employee to defer such Compensation by filing a Compensation Deferral Agreement on or before the 30th day after the legally binding right to the Compensation accrues, provided that the Compensation Deferral Agreement is submitted at least 12 months in advance of the earliest date on which the forfeiture condition could lapse. The Compensation Deferral Agreement described in this paragraph becomes irrevocable not later than such 30th day. If the forfeiture condition applicable to the payment lapses before the end of such 12-month period as a result of the Participant’s death or disability (as defined in Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-3(i)(4)) or upon a change in control (as defined in Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-3(i)(5)), the Compensation Deferral Agreement will be void unless it would be considered timely under another rule described in this Section.

(f) “Evergreen” Deferral Elections. The Committee, in its discretion, may provide that Compensation Deferral Agreements will continue in effect for subsequent years or performance periods by communicating that intention to Participants in writing prior to the date Compensation Deferral Agreements become irrevocable under this Section 4.2. An evergreen Compensation Deferral Agreement may be revoked or modified in writing prospectively by the Participant or the Committee with respect to Compensation for which such election remains revocable under this Section 4.2.

A Compensation Deferral Agreement is deemed to be revoked for subsequent years if the Participant is not an Eligible Employee as of the last permissible date for making elections under this Section 4.2 or if the Compensation Deferral Agreement is cancelled in accordance with Section 4.6.

4.3 Allocation of Deferrals. A Compensation Deferral Agreement may allocate Deferrals to the Retirement Account or to one or more Flex Accounts. The committee may, in its discretion, establish in a written communication during enrollment a minimum deferral period for the establishment of a Specified Date Account (for example, the second Plan Year following the year Compensation is first allocated to such Accounts). In the event a Participant’s Compensation Deferral Agreement allocates a component of Compensation earned, the Deferral Agreement shall be deemed to allocate the Deferral to the Participant’s Specified Date Account having the next earliest payment year. If the Participant has no other Specified Date Accounts, the Committee will allocate the Deferral to the Retirement Account.

4.4 Deductions from Pay. The Committee has the authority to determine the payroll practices under which any component of Compensation subject to a Compensation Deferral Agreement will be deducted from a Participant’s Compensation.

4.5 Vesting. Participant Deferrals of cash Compensation shall be 100% vested at all times. Deferrals of vesting awards of Compensation shall become vested in accordance with the provisions of the underlying award.

4.6 Cancellation of Deferrals. The Committee may cancel a Participant’s Deferrals: (i) for the balance of the Plan Year in which an Unforeseeable Emergency occurs, (ii) if deferrals must be suspended under this Plan as a result of a hardship distribution under the Employer’s 401(k) plan, through the end of the Plan Year containing the last day on which deferrals must be suspended in accordance with the Plan and regulations issued under Code Section 401(k), and (iii) during periods in which the Participant is unable to perform the duties of his or her position or any substantially similar position due to a mental or physical impairment that can be expected to result in death or last for a continuous period of at least six months, provided cancellation occurs by the later of the end of the taxable year of the Participant or the 15th day of the third month following the date the Participant incurs the disability (as defined in this paragraph (iii)).

Company Contributions

5.1 Discretionary Company Contributions.

Make-Up Matching Contribution. Company Contributions may take the form of “makeup” matching contributions, at the same matching contribution rate provided under the Company 401(k) plan with respect to Deferrals that reduce 401(k) plan compensation below the limitation set forth in Code Section 401(a)(17).

All Company Contributions become 100% vested, if while employed by an Employer, a Participant dies, becomes disabled, his or her Employer experiences a change in control as determined by the Company or the Participant attains age 65. In addition, and in its sole discretion, the Company may accelerate vesting for any Participant in any amount at any time.

Payment amounts are based on Account Balances as of the last Valuation Date of the month next preceding the month actual payment is made.

6.2 Specified Date Accounts.

Commencement. Payment is made or begins in the year designated by the Participant.

Form of Payment. Payment will be made in a lump sum, unless the Participant elected to receive annual installments up to five (5) years.

(a) Designation of Beneficiary in General. The Participant shall designate a Beneficiary in the manner and on such terms and conditions as the Committee may prescribe. No such designation shall become effective unless filed with the Committee during the Participant’s lifetime. Any designation shall remain in effect until a new designation is filed with the Committee; provided, however, that in the event a Participant designates his or her spouse as a Beneficiary, such designation shall be automatically revoked upon the dissolution of the marriage unless, following such dissolution, the Participant submits a new designation naming the former spouse as a Beneficiary. A Participant may from time to time change his or her designated Beneficiary without the consent of a previously-designated Beneficiary by filing a new designation with the Committee.

(b) No Beneficiary. If a designated Beneficiary does not survive the Participant, or if there is no valid Beneficiary designation, amounts payable under the Plan upon the death of the Participant shall be paid to the Participant’s spouse, or if there is no surviving spouse, then to the duly appointed and currently acting personal representative of the Participant’s estate.

6.5 Unforeseeable Emergency. A Participant who experiences an Unforeseeable Emergency may submit a written request to the Committee to receive payment of all or any portion of his or her vested Accounts. If the emergency need cannot be relieved by cessation of Deferrals to the Plan, the Committee may approve an emergency payment therefrom not to exceed the amount reasonably necessary to satisfy the need, taking into account the additional compensation that is available to the Participant as the result of cancellation of deferrals to the Plan, including amounts necessary to pay any taxes or penalties that the Participant reasonably anticipates will result from the payment. The amount of the emergency payment shall be subtracted from the Separation Accounts and then from the Specified Date Accounts, starting with the Account having the latest commencement date until fully distributed, then continuing in this manner with the next latest Account until the full amount of the distribution is made. Emergency payments shall be paid in a single lump sum within the 90-day period following the date the payment is approved by the Committee. The Committee may specify that Deferrals will be distributed before any Company Contributions.

6.6 Administrative Cash-Out of Small Balances. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article VI, the Committee may at any time and without regard to whether a payment event has occurred, direct in writing an immediate lump sum payment of the Participant’s Accounts if the balance of such Accounts, combined with any other amounts required to be treated as deferred under a single plan pursuant to Code Section 409A, does not exceed the applicable dollar amount under Code Section 402(g)(1)(B), provided any other such aggregated amounts are also distributed in a lump sum at the same time.

6.7 Acceleration of or Delay in Payments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article VI, the Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion, may elect to accelerate the time or form of payment of an Account, provided such acceleration is permitted under Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-3(j)(4). The Committee may also, in its sole and absolute discretion, delay the time for payment of an Account, to the extent permitted under Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-2(b)(7).

6.8 Rules Applicable to Installment Payments. If a Payment Schedule specifies installment payments, payments will be made beginning as of the payment commencement date for such installments and shall continue to be made in each subsequent payment period until the number of installment payments specified in the Payment Schedule has been paid. The amount of each installment payment shall be determined by dividing (a) by (b), where (a) equals the Account Balance as of the last Valuation Date in the month preceding the month of payment and (b) equals the remaining number of installment payments. For purposes of Section 6.9, installment payments will be treated as a single payment. If an Account is payable in installments, the Account will continue to be credited with Earnings in accordance with Article VII hereof until the Account is completely distributed.

6.9 Modifications to Payment Schedules. A Participant may modify the Payment Schedule elected by him or her with respect to an Account, consistent with the permissible Payment Schedules available under the Plan for the applicable payment event, provided such modification complies with the requirements of this Section 6.9.

(a) Time of Election. The modification election must be submitted to the Committee not less than 12 months prior to the date payments would have commenced under the Payment Schedule in effect prior to modification (the “Prior Election”).

(b) Date of Payment under Modified Payment Schedule. The date payments are to commence under the modified Payment Schedule must be no earlier than five years after the date payment would have commenced under the Prior Election. Under no circumstances may a modification election result in an acceleration of payments in violation of Code Section 409A. If the Participant modifies only the form, and not the commencement date for payment, payments shall commence on the fifth anniversary of the date payment would have commenced under the Prior Election.

(c) Irrevocability; Effective Date. A modification election is irrevocable when filed and becomes effective 12 months after the filing date.

(d) Effect on Accounts. An election to modify a Payment Schedule is specific to the Account or payment event to which it applies, and shall not be construed to affect the Payment Schedules or payment events of any other Accounts.
