The Plan is intended to be a profit sharing plan which is tax-qualified under Code Section 401(a) and which contains a cash or deferral arrangement under Section 401(k) of the Code. The Plan was originally effective September 1, 1994 and was known as the "Waterhouse Investor Services 401(k) Plan" (the "Predecessor Plan"). Effective January 1, 1997, the Plan was renamed the "Waterhouse Investor Services, Inc. 401(k) Plan." The Plan was an amendment, restatement and continuation of the Predecessor Plan as amended and in effect immediately prior to January 1, 1997. Effective January 1, 2000, the Plan was renamed the TD Waterhouse Holdings, Inc. 401(k) Plan. The Plan is an amendment, restatement and continuation of the "Waterhouse Investor Services, Inc. 401(k) Plan" (hereinafter the "Prior Plan") as amended and in effect immediately prior to January 1, 2000. Effective as of November 21, 2001, the Plan is renamed the TD Waterhouse Group, Inc. 401(k) Plan. 1.2 Limitations on Obligations of Company All benefits payable under this Plan shall be paid or provided for solely from the Trust. 1.3 Irrecoverability of Company Contributions All contributions to the Trust shall be irrecoverable by the Company and no asset held by the Trustee may be used for, or diverted to, purposes other than for the exclusive benefit of the Participants or their Beneficiaries and for defraying reasonable expenses of administration of the Plan. However, upon the Company's request, a contribution shall be returned to the Company if (A) the contribution was made by reason of a mistake of fact or (B) the contribution is conditioned on deductibility under Code Section 404 (which condition shall be implied with respect to all contributions) and deductibility is disallowed. The return to the Company of the amount involved must be made within one year after the payment of the contribution was made by reason of a mistake of fact or disallowance of the deduction, as the case may be. 1 ARTICLE II DEFINITIONS The following terms, for the purposes of this Plan, have the meanings specified below unless the context otherwise requires: 2.1 "Account" "Account" shall mean each Participant's portion of the Trust Fund which is attributable to contributions of the Company, forfeitures, and earnings thereon, the value of which shall be determined as of the Valuation Date coincident with or preceding any date of reference.

TD Oak, Inc. was renamed Waterhouse Investor Services, Inc. and continues as Plan sponsor on and after October 16, 1996. As of September 30, 1999, Waterhouse Investor Services, Inc. was renamed TD Waterhouse Holdings, Inc., and continues as Plan sponsor on and after such date. As of November 21, 2001, TD Waterhouse Holdings, Inc. was renamed TD Waterhouse Group, Inc. and continues as Plan sponsor on and after such date. 3 2.13 "Compensation" "Compensation" of all Employee shall mean the total wages within the meaning of Section 3401(a) and all other payments of compensation to an Employee while a Participant in the Plan for a Plan Year by the Company (in the course of the Company's trade or business) for which the Company is required to furnish the Employee a written statement under Code Sections 6041(d), 6051(a)(3) and 6052, but determined without regard to any rules that limit the remuneration included in wages based on the nature or location of the employment or the services performed (such as the exception for agricultural labor in Code Section 3401(a)(21)). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Compensation for a Plan Year shall include amounts withheld from a Participant's earnings for the Plan Year pursuant to a salary reduction agreement entered into by the Participant in accordance with Section 401(k) or 125 of the Code, but shall not include, for purposes of computing Compensation Reduction Contributions or Company Matching Contributions, amounts payable to a Participant (i) as severance, (ii) pursuant to any stock option or other equity-based grant program, (iii) in connection with the settlement of any claims made by the Participant against the Company, (iv) imputed income related to group term life insurance, (v) reimbursed moving expenses that are not taxable to the Employee, (vi) non-taxable business expense reimbursements, (vii) de minimis payments or awards which are not taxable to the Employee, or (viii) amounts paid by third parties such as insured short term disability, long term disability or worker's compensation payments. If a Participant transfers employment to an Affiliated Company that has not adopted the Plan, compensation earned after the date of transfer shall not be included in such Participant's Compensation for purposes of contributions under either Section 6.1 or Section 7.1. In addition to other applicable limitations set forth in the Plan, and notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, for Plan Years beginning on or after January 1, 1994, the annual Compensation of each Employee taken into account under the Plan shall not exceed the OBRA '93 annual compensation limit. The OBRA '93 annual compensation limit is $150,000, as adjusted by the Commissioner for increases in the cost of living in accordance with section 401(a)(17)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code. The cost-of-living adjustment in effect for a calendar year applies to any period, not exceeding 12 months, over which compensation is determined ("Determination Period") beginning in such calendar year. If a Determination Period consists of fewer than 12 months, the OBRA '93 annual compensation limit will be multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of months in the Determination Period, and the denominator of which is 12. For Plan Years beginning on or after January 1, 1994, any reference in this Plan to the limitation under section 401(a)(17) of the Code shall mean the OBRA '93 annual compensation limit set forth in this provision. If Compensation for any prior Determination Period is taken into account in determining an Employee's benefits accruing in the current Plan Year, the Compensation for that prior 4 Determination Period is subject to the OBRA '93 annual compensation limit in effect for that prior Determination Period. For this purpose, for Determination Periods beginning before the first day of the first Plan Year beginning on or after January 1, 1994, the OBRA '93 annual compensation limit is $150,000. For purposes of Section 7.5, Compensation shall be determined without regard to the OBRA '93 annual compensation limit. In addition, for purposes of Section 7.5, Compensation in Limitation Years beginning prior to January 1, 1998 shall not include amounts withheld from a Participant's earnings pursuant to a salary reduction agreement entered into by the Participant in accordance with Section 401(k) or 125 of the Code. In addition, the adjusted $150,000 limitation shall be reduced for a Plan Year by the amount of any compensation recognized for such Plan Year for benefit accrual purposes under any other tax-qualified profit sharing plan sponsored by an Affiliated Company. Effective for Plan Years beginning on and after January 1, 1997, the rules requiring the aggregation of family members of certain Participants and the Compensation of family members of certain Participants for certain purposes under the Plan shall cease to apply. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the annual Compensation of each Participant taken into account in determining allocations for any Plan Year beginning after December 31, 2001 shall not exceed $200,000, as adjusted for cost-of-living increases in accordance with Section 401(a)(17)(B) of the Code. Annual Compensation means Compensation during the Plan Year or such other consecutive 12-month period over which Compensation is otherwise determined under the Plan (the determination period). The cost-of-living adjustment in effect for a calendar year applies to annual Compensation for the determination period that begins with or within such calendar year. 2.14 "Compensation Reduction Contribution" "Compensation Reduction Contribution" shall mean the amount withheld from Compensation of a Participant and contributed by the Company on behalf of a Participant pursuant to Section 6.1. 2.15 "Contribution Percentage" "Contribution Percentage" shall mean the ratio (expressed as a percentage) of the Company Matching Contributions made under the Plan on behalf of the Participant for the Plan Year to the Participant's Compensation for the Plan Year while a Participant in the Plan. 2.16 "Deferral Election" "Deferral Election" shall mean the portion of the enrollment application on which a Participant authorizes and elects the percentage of his Compensation to be withheld by the Company and contributed on behalf of the Participant to his Compensation Reduction Contribution Account. 5 2.17 "Disability" "Disability" shall mean the inability of a Participant to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or which has lasted or which can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months. A Participant shall be deemed to be Disabled only if the Participant is determined to be disabled by the Social Security Administration or submits such evidence of being Disabled as is acceptable to the Committee. 2.18 "Effective Date" "Effective Date" of this amended and restated Plan shall mean January 1, 2000. The original effective date of the Plan is September 1, 1994. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is the intent of the Company in adopting this restated Plan that any provision of the Plan which must be retroactively effective as of a date (a "Remedial Amendment Date") earlier than January 1, 2000 for the Plan to continue to be tax-qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code shall be effective as of such Remedial Amendment Date. Provisions which are retroactively effective as of a Remedial Amendment Date shall constitute an amendment to a Merged Plan as of the applicable Remedial Amendment Date to the extent necessary for the Merged Plan to continue to be tax-qualified (including for periods prior to the merger date to the extent so required). In this regard, the increase in the mandatory cashout limitation, as set forth in Section 11.1(D), shall be effective as of December 15, 2001 with respect to the R. J. Thompson Holding, Inc. 401(k) Plan. Except as may be otherwise specifically provided in the Plan or as required by law, Participants who retired on a Retirement Date or who terminated their employment with the Company and each Affiliated Company prior to the Effective Date or to the effective date of any Plan provision, shall look solely to the Prior Plan for their benefits, if any, payable in accordance with the applicable provisions of such Prior Plan. In addition, certain provisions of the Plan are effective after January 1, 2000, as specified in the Plan. 2.19 "Eligible Employee" "Eligible Employee" shall mean an Employee of the Company other than (i) an intern, (ii) a contract employee, or (iii) a person who is a leased employee within the meaning of Code Section 414(n)(2).

In particular, but without limitation the following classes of individuals shall not be considered eligible to participate: temporary agency 6 hires, independent contractors, or consultants, including any individuals who are designated (at the time such individuals are performing service for the Employer) as any of the foregoing on the records of the Employer or in agreements with the Employer and regardless of whether any such individual is determined to be a common law employee by the Internal Revenue Service, a court or other regulatory authority.

The term Highly Compensated Employee also includes Employees who are 5 percent owners, as defined under Code Section 414(q)(2), at any time during the look-back year or determination year. For this purpose, the determination year shall be the Plan Year. The look-back year shall be the twelve-month period immediately preceding the determination year. 2.27 "Hour of Service" "Hour of Service", for an Employee, shall mean: (A) each hour for which the Employee is directly or indirectly compensated by the Company or an Affiliated Company, or entitled to compensation for the performance of duties, irrespective of any increase in the rate of pay for such hours, the source of such compensation, or the time when payment is made or due, which hour shall be credited to the computation period in which such duties were performed. (B) each hour for which back pay, irrespective of mitigation of damages, has been either awarded or agreed to by the Company or an Affiliated Company (which hour shall be credited to the computation period or periods to which the award or agreement pertains), unless such hour has already been credited under subparagraph (A) above; and (C) each hour for which an Employee is directly or indirectly compensated by the Company or an Affiliated Company, or entitled to compensation, for reasons (such as vacation, sickness or disability) other than for the performance of duties during the applicable computation period, which hour shall be credited to the computation period in which no duties were performed. For purposes of subparagraph (C), no more than 501 Hours of Service shall be credited for any single continuous period (regardless of whether such period occurs in a single computation period).

Hours of Service shall be credited for a leave of absence that qualifies as FMLA leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act to the extent required under such Act. In lieu of maintaining hourly payroll records, each Employee who is a full-time Employee (as determined by the Company under its standard human resources practices as applied in a uniform and nondiscriminatory manner to all persons similarly situated) shall be credited with 45 Hours of Service for each week in which the Employee would be credited with an Hour of Service pursuant to subparagraphs (A) through (C) above.

If an Employee fails to complete 1,000 Hours of Service during such 12-consecutive month period, then Year of 16 Service shall mean a Plan Year (including Plan Years prior to the Effective Date) during which the Employee completes 1,000 Hours of Service. For purposes of this Section, an Employee commences employment on the first date on which the Employee performs an Hour of Service, and employment with any Affiliated Company shall be treated as employment with the Company. Further, for purposes of this Section, employment with any entity which would be treated as a single employer with The Toronto-Dominion Bank pursuant to Section 414 of the Code shall be treated as employment with the Company, including employment rendered prior to the Effective Date of this Plan. With respect to an Employee who was employed by Kennedy Cabot & Co. as of its acquisition by Waterhouse Investor Services, Inc. on November 7, 1997, employment with Kennedy Cabot & Co. shall be credited as Years of Service for purposes of this Article IV, under the rules provided above, as if Kennedy Cabot & Co. were an Affiliated Company.

An Employee's Years of Service for purposes of this Section 4.2 shall not be less than his Years of Eligibility Service, if any, credited under the Kennedy Cabot (A Division of Waterhouse Securities, Inc.) 401(k) & Profit Sharing Plan (the "Kennedy Cabot Division Plan") as of December 31, 1998. If an Employee was employed by the Kennedy Cabot Division of Waterhouse Securities, Inc. and failed to earn a Year of Eligibility Service under the terms of the Kennedy Cabot Division Plan prior to December 31, 1998, such Employee will be credited with a Year of Service for purposes of this Section 4.2 if he/she is credited with 1,000 or more Hours of Service in the Computation Period (as defined in the Kennedy Cabot Division Plan) ending in the 1999 Plan Year. If such Participant completes 1,000 or more Hours of Service in such Computation Period, he/she will earn a Year of Service in each subsequent Computation Period in which he/she earns 1,000 or more Hours of Service. If such Participant fails to complete 1,000 or more Hours of Service in such Computation Period, he/she will earn a Year of Service if he/she completes 1,000 or more Hours of Service in any Plan Year beginning on or after January 1, 1999. With respect to an Employee who was employed by Marketware International, Inc. as of its acquisition by Waterhouse Investor Services, Inc. on June 22, 1999, employment with Marketware International, Inc. shall be credited as Years of Service for purposes of this Article IV, under the rules provided above, as if Marketware International, Inc. were an Affiliated Company.

If such Participant completes 1,000 or more Hours of Service in such Eligibility Period, he/she will earn a Year of Service in each subsequent Eligibility Period in which he/she earns 1,000 or more Hours of Service. If such Participant fails to complete 1,000 or more Hours of Service in such Eligibility Period, he/she will earn a Year of Service if he/she completes 1,000 or more Hours of Service in any Plan Year beginning on or after January 1, 2000. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall an Employee receive duplicative credit for Years of Service for the same period of employment. 4.3 Determination of Participation The eligibility and Entry Date of a Participant shall be determined by the Company. 4.4 Transfer of Employment to an Affiliated Company If a Participant transfers employment from the Company or an Affiliated Company that has adopted the Plan to another Affiliated Company that has adopted the Plan, such Participant's participation in the Plan shall be uninterrupted for all purposes of the Plan. If a Participant transfers employment to an Affiliated Company that has not adopted the Plan, such Participant shall cease to be eligible to make Compensation Reduction Contributions pursuant to Section 6.1 or receive Company Matching Contributions pursuant to Section 7.1 with respect to Compensation earned after the date of such transfer, but shall otherwise remain a Participant for purposes of the Plan. 4.5 Rehired Employee A Participant who ceases to be an Employee and who is reemployed as an Eligible Employee shall recommence active participation in the Plan upon being credited with an Hour of Service for the performance of duties with the Company. Compensation Reduction Contributions on behalf of such an individual shall begin as of the first day of the next payroll period after the Participant files a new Deferral Election with the Committee if administratively possible, otherwise on the first day of the next succeeding payroll period. Each other Employee who is reemployed shall be eligible to become a Participant on a date determined in accordance with Section 4.1. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Eligible Employee who satisfied the requirements of Section 4.1 and who ceased to be an Employee prior to becoming a Participant pursuant to Section 4.1 shall become reemployed as an Eligible Employee on or after the date on which he would have commenced participation had he not ceased employment, he shall commence participation upon being credited with an Hour of Service for the performance of duties with the Company. Such Eligible Employee must execute a new Deferral Election in order to elect to have the Company make Compensation Reduction Contributions on his behalf. 18 4.6 Suspension of Participation If a Participant ceases for any reason to be an Eligible Employee but remains an Employee, his Compensation Reduction Contributions, and Company Matching Contributions, if any, shall be suspended as of the date the Participant no longer qualifies as an Eligible Employee. During the period of suspension, the suspended Participant's service shall continue to be considered for vesting purposes and investment gains and losses shall continue to accrue with respect to any portion of the Participant's Account which remains in the Plan. The suspension shall be removed and the individual shall again become eligible to elect to have Compensation Reduction Contributions made on his behalf and to receive Company Matching Contributions when he again become an Eligible Employee. Such individual must make a new Deferral Election in order to elect to have the Company make Compensation Reduction Contributions on his behalf. 19 ARTICLE V AUTHORIZED LEAVE OF ABSENCE 5.1 Authorized Leave of Absence Defined For purposes of this Plan, every Employee shall be deemed to be on an Authorized Leave of Absence during, and only during, the following periods: (A) The period from the time the Employee leaves the service of the Company in order to enter into the Armed Forces of the United States, until the expiration of the time during which the Employee's right to reemployment by the Company is protected by law after the Employee is eligible for separation from such Armed Forces. (B) The period of any layoff of the Employee due to the lack of work but only if such period of layoff is not in excess of such period as the Company may designate from time to time. (C) The period of any other Authorized Leave of Absence granted by the Company to the Employee, but only if such leave is granted for injury, illness, sickness, disability, government, civic or charitable service (including jury duty), family reasons or change of residence. (D) The period during which the Employee is not working because of a labor-management dispute. 5.2 Return to Actual Employment An Employee shall not be considered to have terminated employment or interrupted service during any period of an Authorized Leave of Absence (whether before or after the Effective Date or before or after the Employee becomes a Participant) if the Employee returns to actual employment by the Company at the end of the Authorized Leave of Absence or if the Employee dies or becomes disabled during any such Leave. An Employee who does not return to actual employment by the Company immediately following an Authorized Leave of Absence (other than by reason of death or Disability) shall be deemed to have terminated employment as of the date of the commencement of the Leave of Absence. 5.3 Imputed Compensation Except as provided in Section 5.4, no compensation shall be imputed during the period of any Authorized Leave of Absence. 5.4 Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, contributions, benefits and service credit with respect to qualified military service will be provided in accordance with Section 414(u) of the Code. 20 ARTICLE VI COMPENSATION REDUCTION CONTRIBUTIONS 6.1 Compensation Reduction Contributions (A) Subject to the limitations established by this Article and Article VII, each Participant shall be eligible to elect to have the Company contribute (in one percent increments) from one percent (1%) to fifteen percent (15%) of the Participant's Compensation directly into the Plan instead of paying such amount to the Participant. Contributions made in this manner shall be called Compensation Reduction Contributions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, effective May 1, 1998, the maximum Compensation Reduction Contributions that can be elected by the Participant with respect to Compensation otherwise payable on or after May 1, 1998 shall not exceed ten percent (10%) of such Compensation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, effective January 1, 2002, the maximum Compensation Reduction Contributions that can be elected by the Participant with respect to Compensation otherwise payable on or after January 1, 2002 shall not exceed thirty-five percent (35%) of such Compensation. A Participant's Compensation Reduction Contributions which are matched pursuant to Section 7.1 shall be credited to his Matched Compensation Reduction Contribution Account. A Participant's Compensation Reduction Contributions which are not matched shall be credited to his Unmatched Compensation Reduction Contribution Account. (B) For Federal tax purposes (and wherever permitted, for state tax purposes), Compensation Reduction Contributions made pursuant to this section shall be deemed Company contributions to the Plan and are intended to qualify as elective contributions made pursuant to Section 401(k) of the Code. (C) All Compensation Reduction Contributions shall be forwarded by the Company to the Trustee in accordance with Section 7.8 hereof. (D) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Participant shall be permitted to make Compensation Reduction Contributions under this Plan during any calendar year in excess of $10,500 or such other amount as may be determined under Section 402(g) of the Code and the regulations thereunder. The limitation set by this Paragraph (D) applies on an individual basis to all elective deferrals (within the meaning of Section 401(k) of the Code) made by each Participant during a calendar year under this or any other qualified plan of the Company. Excess Annual Additions distributed to Participants in accordance with Section 7.5 shall be disregarded for purposes of Code Section 402(g). (E) It shall be the responsibility of each Participant to coordinate his or her salary deferrals as needed to meet this limit in connection with any other plan or plans not sponsored by the Company or an Affiliated Company. Unless timely notice is provided by a Participant to the Plan Administrator, the Company shall not take account of deferrals made to any plan not sponsored by the Company or an Affiliated Company in determining the limitations set forth in this Article VI. 21 Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Participant may state a claim for the return of Excess Deferrals and such Excess Deferrals and the gain or loss allocable thereto shall be distributed if administratively practicable during the calendar year in which such Excess Deferrals are made or the calendar Year following the calendar year in which such Excess Deferrals are made, but no later than the April 15 following the calendar year for which such allocable Excess Deferrals are made. The Participant's claim shall be in writing; shall be submitted to the Committee no later than March 1 of such year; shall specify the Participants Excess Deferrals for the preceding calendar year; and shall be accompanied by the Participant's written statement that if such amounts are not distributed, such Excess Deferrals, when added to amounts deferred under other plans or arrangements described in Sections 401(k), 408(k) or 403(b) of the Code, exceed the limit imposed on the Participant by Section 402(g) of the Code for the year in which the deferral occurred. If a Participant has Excess Deferrals, taking into account only elective deferrals under the Plan and other plans of the Company or an Affiliated Company, the Participant is deemed to have notified the Plan of such Excess Deferrals in accordance with the terms of this paragraph, and such Excess Deferrals shall be distributed in accordance with the terms of this paragraph. The Excess Deferrals shall be adjusted for gain or loss. The gain or loss allocable to Excess Deferrals for the Participant's taxable year shall be determined by multiplying the gain or loss allocable to the Participant's Compensation Reduction Contributions for the taxable year by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Excess Deferrals on behalf of the Participant for the taxable year and the denominator of which is the Participant's Account attributable to Compensation Reduction Contributions on the last day of the taxable year reduced by the gain allocable to such total amount for the taxable year and increased by the loss allocable to such total amount for the taxable year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no gain or loss shall be allocated to Excess Deferrals for the period between the end of the taxable year and the date of the corrective distribution. If Excess Deferrals have previously been distributed within the Plan Year, then the Plan shall offset such distribution from the amount of the Participant's Excess Contributions to be distributed for such Plan Year pursuant to Section 6.6 hereof. In addition, the amount of Excess Deferrals that may be distributed for a Participant by the Plan for a Plan Year shall be reduced by the amount of Excess Contributions previously distributed for such Plan Year. 6.2 Deferral Election Each Participant may deliver to the Committee a direction (his "Deferral Election") in a form to be prescribed by the Committee, directing the Company to reduce his Compensation within the limits set forth in Section 6.1. Such election shall become effective as of the first day of the first payroll period as of which it is administratively possible to effectuate such election, provided that such date is subsequent to the Eligible Employee's initial Entry Date, as determined in accordance with Article IV hereof and receipt of the Deferral Election by the Committee. 22 Notwithstanding the foregoing, in accordance with procedures established by the Committee and subject to the limitations set forth in Section 6.1, a Participant may make, on a prospective basis, a separate Deferral Election with respect to any portion of his or her Compensation payable in the form of a regular bonus. Such separate election (or the failure to make such separate election) shall in no event result in the modification or revocation of any Deferral Election otherwise in effect at the time such separate Deferral Election is made. 6.3 Suspension of or Change in Deferral Election (A) Suspension: A Participant may elect to suspend all Compensation Reduction Contributions at any time by giving notice to the Committee in accordance with procedures prescribed for that purpose by the Committee. Any such election shall be effective as of the first day of the first payroll period following the date such suspension notice is received by the Committee as of which it is administratively possible to effectuate such suspension. A Participant who has suspended all Compensation Reduction Contributions may, after a six-month period of suspension, resume such contributions as of the first day of the first payroll period following receipt of such notice by the Committee as of which it is administratively practical to effectuate such resumption. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no suspension shall be imposed by reason of a failure to make a separate Deferral Election with respect to any portion of Compensation payable in the form of a regular bonus as provided for in Section 6.2. (B) Change of Deferral Percentage: A Participant may elect to change the amount of his Compensation Reduction Contribution as of the first day of the first payroll period following receipt of such election by the Committee as of which it is administratively practical to effectuate such change. 6.4 Deferral Percentage Limitation Subject to the special rules of Section 6.5, and at such intervals as it shall deem proper, the Committee shall review each Participant's Deferral Election in order to determine that the Compensation Reduction Contributions with respect to all Participants satisfy one of the following tests: (A) The Average Actual Deferral Percentage for Participants who are Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year shall not exceed the Average Actual Deferral Percentage for Participants who are Non-Highly Compensated Employees multiplied by 1.25; or (B) The Average Actual Deferral Percentage for Participants who are Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year shall not exceed the Average Actual Deferral Percentage for Participants who are Non-Highly Compensated Employees multiplied by 2, provided that the Average Actual Deferral Percentage 23 for Participants who are Highly Compensated Employees does not exceed the Average Actual Deferral Percentage for Participants who are Non-Highly Compensated Employees by more than two (2) percentage points. (C) To the extent permitted by regulations or other Internal Revenue Service rulings of general applicability, the tests described in (A) and (B) above, at the election of the Committee, shall be applied by substituting "Prior Plan Year Average Actual Deferral Percentage for Participants who are Non-Highly Compensated Employees" for "Average Actual Deferral Percentage for Participants who are Non-Highly Compensated Employees" where such term appears therein. Any such election shall be reflected in an amendment to the Plan. 6.5 Special Rules on Deferral Percentage Limitations (A) For purposes of this Article, the Actual Deferral Percentage for any Participant who is a Highly Compensated Employee for the Plan Year and who is eligible to have Compensation Reduction Contributions allocated to his account under two or more plans or arrangements described in Section 401(k) of the Code that are maintained by the Company or an Affiliated Company shall be determined as if all such Compensation Reduction Contributions were made under a single arrangement. If a Highly Compensated Employee participates in two or more plans or arrangements described in Section 401(k) of the Code that have different plan years, all such arrangements ending with or within the same calendar year shall be treated as a single arrangement. (B) In the event that this Plan satisfies the requirements of Sections 401(k), 401(a)(4) or 410(b) of the Code only if aggregated with one or more other plans, or if one or more plans satisfy the requirements of such sections of the Code only if aggregated with this Plan, then this section shall be applied by determining the Actual Deferral Percentage of Employees as if all such plans were a single plan. Plans may be aggregated in order to satisfy Section 401(k) of the Code only if they have the same plan year. (C) The Plan may be disaggregated into two or more plans or the Plan may be aggregated with one or more other plans, to the extent permitted by Sections 401(k), 401(a)(4) and 410(b) of the Code and the regulations thereunder. (D) For purposes of determining a Participant's Actual Deferral Percentage, Compensation Reduction Contributions must be made before the last day of the twelve month period immediately following the Plan Year to which those contributions relate. (E) Excess Annual Additions distributed to Participants in accordance with Section 7.5 shall be disregarded for purposes of applying the tests of Section 6.4. (F) Excess Deferrals of Non-Highly Compensated Employees shall be disregarded to the extent such Excess Deferrals are prohibited under Code Section 401(a)(30). 24 (G) The determination and treatment of the Actual Deferral Percentage of any Participant shall satisfy such other requirements as may be prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury. 6.6 Adjustment of Deferrals (A) In the event the Committee determines that one of the tests set forth in Section 6.4 is not satisfied at the time of its review hereunder, it may require that one or more Participants adjust their Deferral Election as of the first day of the first payroll period as of which it is administratively possible to effectuate such adjustment. In order that one of the tests set forth in Section 6.4 is thereafter satisfied, or, to the extent permitted by law, the Committee shall have the power and authority to return all or any part of the Compensation Reduction Contributions of one or more Participants in cash within two and one-half months after the end of the Plan Year, but in no instance later than the last day of the Plan Year following the Plan Year for which the Excess Contributions were made, solely to the extent necessary to satisfy one of the tests set forth in Section 6.4. (B) The Excess Contributions shall be adjusted for gain or loss. The gain or loss allocable to Excess Contributions for the Plan Year shall be determined by multiplying the gain or loss allocable to the Participant's Compensation Reduction Contributions for the Plan Year by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Excess Contributions on behalf of the Participant for the Plan Year and the denominator of which is the Participant's Account attributable to Compensation Reduction Contributions and amounts treated as Compensation Reduction Contributions on the last day of the Plan Year reduced by the gain allocable to such total amount for the Plan Year and increased by the loss allocable to such total amount for the Plan Year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no gain or loss shall be allocated to Excess Contributions for the period between the end of the taxable year and the date of the corrective distribution. (C) Any distribution of Excess Contributions for any Plan Year shall be made to Highly Compensated Employees on the basis of the amount of contributions by, or on behalf of, each such Employee. The method of distribution of such Excess Contributions shall be made in accordance with Code Section 401(k)(8)(C) and the rulings and regulations thereunder. If Excess Contributions are returned to Participants in accordance with this Paragraph (C), the Participant shall immediately forfeit all Company Matching Contributions that were made pursuant to Section 7.1 to match such returned Excess Contributions. 25 6.7 Transfer of Assets and Liabilities from Kennedy Cabot (A Division of Waterhouse Securities, Inc.) 401(k) & Profit Sharing Plan Effective as of December 31, 1998, Code Section 401(k) assets and liabilities held by the Kennedy Cabot (A Division of Waterhouse Securities, Inc.) 401(k) & Profit Sharing Plan (hereinafter the "Kennedy Cabot Division Plan") shall be transferred into this Plan.

The amount of the Company Matching Contribution made pursuant to this section shall be equal to fifty percent (50%) of the Compensation Reduction Contributions made by the Participant up to six percent (6%) of Compensation, deferred each pay period by the Participant pursuant to Section 6.1. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the 1998 Plan Year, in lieu of the foregoing, the Company shall contribute on behalf of each Participant who elected to make Compensation Reduction Contributions in the 1998 Plan Year an additional Company Matching Contribution which together with any Company Matching Contributions made on behalf of such Participant pursuant to the preceding provisions of this Section 7.1(A) shall equal the lesser of: (1) six percent (6%) of such Participant's Compensation in each pay period, or (2) the amount of the Compensation Reduction Contributions deferred each pay period by the Participant pursuant to Section 6.1. In addition, the Company shall make a Company Matching Contribution to the Account of each Participant employed on the last day of the 1998 Plan Year equal to the excess, if any, of (3) over (4), as follows: (3) the smaller of (a) and (b), as follows: (a) six percent (6%) of the Participant's Compensation for the 1998 Plan Year, expressed as a dollar amount; or (b) the Participant's Compensation Reduction Contributions for the 1998 Plan Year. (4) the dollar amount of Company Matching Contributions allocated to such Participant's Account on a payroll period basis for the 1998 Plan Year pursuant to the preceding provisions of this Section 7.1. (B) All Company Matching Contributions shall be invested in accordance with the provisions of Article VIII and shall be made in cash. (C) Subject to the limitations otherwise contained in this Article, Company Matching Contributions made pursuant to this Section shall be allocated to the Company Matching Contribution Account of each Participant who made Compensation 29 Reduction Contributions during the payroll period for which the Company Matching Contributions are made. (D) All Company Matching Contributions shall be conditioned on their deductibility under Section 404 of the Code. In addition, the Company, in its sole discretion, may make Qualified Non-Elective Contributions allocated to eligible Non-Highly Compensated Employees for the purpose of ensuring that the Plan satisfies the deferral percentage limitations and the contribution percentage limitations described in Sections 6.4 and 7.2 and the Aggregate Limit described in Section 7.9. Qualified Non-Elective Contributions made for the purpose of satisfying the deferral percentage limitations described in Section 6.4 shall be considered to be Compensation Reduction Contributions for purposes of satisfying such limitations. Qualified Non-Elective Contributions made for the purpose of satisfying the contribution percentage limitations described in Section 7.2 shall be considered to be Company Matching Contributions for purposes of satisfying such limitations. Contributions made for the purpose of satisfying the Aggregate Limit described in Section 7.9 shall be considered to be Compensation Reduction Contributions and/or Company Matching Contributions (whichever shall be applicable) for purposes of satisfying such limit. Qualified Non-Elective Contributions shall be treated as Compensation Reduction Contributions for all other purposes of the Plan, shall be nonforfeitable when made and shall be subject to the same distribution requirements as Compensation Reduction Contributions except that such contributions may not be distributed as a hardship withdrawal pursuant to Section 13.1. Qualified Non-Elective Contributions shall first be allocated to the Participant who received the least amount of Compensation from the Company during the Plan Year for which the failsafe contribution is made, in an amount up to the limit set forth in Section 7.5. In the event that Qualified Non-Elective Contributions made on behalf of such Participant do not enable the Plan to satisfy the deferral percentage limitations described in Section 6.4, the contribution percentage limitations described in Section 7.2 and/or the Aggregate Limit described in Section 7.9, then Qualified Non-Elective Contributions will be allocated to the Participant with the next lowest Compensation for such Plan Year in an amount up to the limit set forth in Section 7.5. This allocation procedure will be repeated until the deferral percentage limitations, the contribution percentage limitations and/or the Aggregate Limit are satisfied. 7.2 Percentage Limitation on Company Matching Contributions At such intervals as it shall deem proper, the Committee shall review the Company Matching Contributions made for Participants in order to determine that such Company Matching Contributions, with respect to all Participants, satisfy one of the following tests: (A) The Average Contribution Percentage for Participants who are Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year shall not exceed the Average Contribution Percentage for Participants who are Non-Highly Compensated Employees multiplied by 1.25; or 30 (B) The Average Contribution Percentage for Participants who are Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year shall not exceed the Average Contribution Percentage for Participants who are Non-Highly Compensated Employees multiplied by 2, provided that the Average Contribution Percentage for Participants who are Highly Compensated Employees does not exceed the Average Contribution Percentage for Participants who are Non-Highly Compensated Employees by more than two (2) percentage points. (C) To the extent permitted by applicable regulations or other Internal Revenue Service rulings, the tests described in (A) and (B) above, at the election of the Committee, shall be applied by substituting "Prior Plan Year Average Contribution Percentage for Participants who are Non-Highly Compensated Employees" for "Average Contribution Percentage for Participants who are Non-Highly Compensated Employees" where such term appears therein. Any such election shall be reflected in an amendment to the Plan. 7.3 Special Rules for Contribution Percentage Limit Testing (A) For purposes of this Article VII, the Contribution Percentage for any Participant who is a Highly Compensated Employee for the Plan Year and who is eligible to receive Company Matching Contributions allocated to his account under two or more plans described in Section 401(a) of the Code that are maintained by the Company or an Affiliated Company shall be determined as if all such Company Matching Contributions were made under a single plan. (B) In the event that this Plan satisfies the requirements of Sections 401(m), 401(a)(4) and 410(b) of the Code only if aggregated with one or more other plans, or if one or more other plans satisfy the requirements of such sections of the Code only if aggregated with this Plan, then this Section shall be applied by determining the Contribution Percentages of Participants as if all such plans were a single plan. Plans may be aggregated in order to satisfy Section 401(m) of the Code only if they have the same Plan Year. (C) The Plan may be disaggregated into two or more plans or the Plan may be aggregated with one or more other plans, to the extent permitted by Sections 401(m), 401(a)(4) and 410(b) of the Code, and the regulations thereunder. (D) For purposes of determining a Participant's Contribution Percentage, Company Matching Contributions must be made before the last day of the twelve month period immediately following the Plan Year to which those contributions related. (E) Excess Annual Additions distributed to Participants in accordance with Section 7.5 shall be disregarded in applying the tests of Section 7.2. (F) The determination and treatment of the Contribution Percentage of any Participant shall satisfy such other requirements as may be prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury. 31 7.4 Adjustments To Contributions (A) Excess Aggregate Contributions, plus any gain and minus any loss allocable thereto, shall be forfeited, if forfeitable, or if not forfeitable, shall be distributed in cash to Highly Compensated Employees within two and one-half months after the end of the Plan Year but in no instance later than the last day of the Plan Year following the Plan Year for which the Excess Aggregate Contributions were made. (B) The Excess Aggregate Contributions shall be adjusted for gain or loss. The gain or loss allocable to Excess Aggregate Contributions for the Plan Year shall be determined by multiplying the gain or loss allocable to the Participant's Company Matching Contributions and amounts treated as Company Matching Contributions for the Plan Year by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Excess Aggregate Contributions on behalf of the Participant for the Plan Year and the denominator of which is the sum of the Participant's Account attributable to Company Matching Contributions and amounts treated as Company Matching Contributions on the last day of the Plan Year reduced by the gain allocable to such amount for the Plan Year and increased by the loss allocable to such amount for the Plan Year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no gain or loss shall be allocated to Excess Aggregate Contributions for the period between the end of the taxable year and the date of the corrective distribution. (C) Any distribution of Excess Aggregate Contributions for any Plan Year shall be made to Highly Compensated Employees on the basis of the amount of contributions by, or on behalf of, each such Employee. The method of distribution of such Excess Aggregate Contributions shall be made in accordance with Code Section 401(m)(6)(C) and the rulings and regulations thereunder. 7.5 Overall Limitation on Annual Additions Any other provision of this Plan notwithstanding, in no event shall the Annual Addition allocated to a Participant's Account under the Plan for any Limitation Year, exceed the lesser of: (A) twenty-five percent (25%) of the Participant's compensation (within the meaning of Code Section 415(c)(3)) for Limitation Years beginning prior to January 1, 2002 and one hundred percent (100%) of the Participant's compensation (within the meaning of Code Section 415(c)(3)) for Limitation Years beginning on and after January 1, 2002, or (B) thirty thousand dollars ($30,000) (forty thousand dollars ($40,000) for Limitation Years beginning on and after January 1, 2002), as adjusted under Section 415(d) of the Code for such Limitation Year. (C) The compensation limitation referred to in Paragraph (A) shall not apply to: 32 (1) Any contribution for medical benefits (within the meaning of Section 419A(f)(2) of the Code) after separation from service which is otherwise treated as an Annual Addition, or (2) Any amount otherwise treated as an Annual Addition under Section 415(l)(1) of the Code. (D) For purposes of Sections 7.5, 7.6 and 7.7, all defined contribution plans (including voluntary employee contribution accounts in defined benefit plans and key employee accounts under welfare benefit plans described in Code Section 419, as well as employer contributions allocated to IRA's) of the Company or an Affiliated Company, whether or not terminated, will be treated as one defined contribution plan for purposes of the limitations under Code Section 415(c). In addition, for purposes of the limitation on Annual Additions, the term "Company" and "Affiliated Company" shall be as modified by Section 415(h). If, as a result of the allocation of forfeitures, a reasonable error in estimating a Participant's annual Compensation, a reasonable error in determining the amount of Compensation Reduction Contributions that may be made with respect to any individual under the limits of Code Section 415, or under other limited facts and circumstances that the Commissioner finds justifies this method of correction, the Annual Addition for a particular Participant would cause the limitations of Code Section 415 applicable to that Participant for the Limitation Year to be exceeded, the excess amounts, including attributable earnings, shall not be deemed an Annual Addition in that Limitation Year. Such excess Annual Additions shall first be corrected by distributing Compensation Reduction Contributions and attributable earnings to the Participant and then, if necessary, by withholding or taking contributions other than Compensation Reduction Contributions (and attributable earnings) from the Participant's Account and holding them in a suspense account to be used to reduce future contributions for all Participants in the next and succeeding Limitation Years, as necessary. The correction of excess Annual Additions shall include attributable earnings. 7.6 Special Rules (A) Participation in Another Defined Contribution Plan The limitation of Section 7.5 with respect to any Participant who at any time has participated in any other qualified defined contribution plan maintained by the Company or an Affiliated Company shall apply as if the total contributions allocated under all such defined contribution plans in which the Participant has participated were allocated under one plan. (B) Participation in Another Defined Benefit Plan If a Participant has at any time been a participant in a qualified defined benefit plan maintained by the Company or an Affiliated Company, the sum of the 33 Participant's Defined Benefit Plan Fraction and Defined Contribution Plan Fraction (as hereinafter defined) for any year shall not exceed one (1.0). In the event said sum of the Defined Benefit Plan Fraction and the Defined Contribution Plan Fraction would otherwise exceed 1.0 for any Plan Year, the projected annual retirement income benefit under the Company-sponsored defined benefit plan shall be limited, to the extent necessary, to reduce said Defined Benefit Plan Fraction so that the sum of the two fractions hereunder does not exceed the foregoing 1.0 limitation. For purposes of the foregoing paragraph only: (1) The "Defined Benefit Plan Fraction" for any Limitation Year is a fraction, the numerator of which is the Participant's projected annual retirement income benefit under all defined benefit plans maintained by the Company or an Affiliated Company, determined as of the end of the Limitation Year, and the denominator of which is the lesser of: (a) the product of 1.25 multiplied by $90,000 as multiplied by the Adjustment Factor; or (b) the product of 1.4 multiplied by one hundred percent (100%) of the Participant's average annual Compensation for the three (3) consecutive calendar years during which his Compensation was the highest. (2) The "Defined Contribution Plan Fraction" for any Limitation Year is a fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of the Annual Additions to the accounts of the Participant in all defined contribution plans maintained by the Employer (as of the end of the Limitation Year) for that Limitation Year and all preceding Limitation Years and the denominator of which is the sum of the lesser of the following amounts, determined for such Limitation Year and for each prior Limitation Year of service with the Company or an Affiliated Company. (a) the product of 1.25 multiplied by $30,000 (as adjusted pursuant to Section 415(d)of the Code); or (b) the product of 1.4 multiplied by twenty-five percent (25%) of the Participant's Compensation for such Limitation Year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 7.6(B) shall be null and void for Limitation Years that begin after December 31, 1999 with respect to any Participant who is credited with an Hour of Service on or after January 1, 2000. 34 (C) Adjustment of Limitation for Years of Service or Participation (1) In the case of a Participant who has completed less than ten years of participation in the Plan, the limitation set forth in subparagraph 7.6(B)(1)(a) above, shall be adjusted by multiplying such amount by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Participant's number of years (or part thereof) of participation in the Plan and the denominator of which is ten. (2) If a Participant has completed less than ten years of service with the Company or an Affiliated Company, the limitation set forth in subparagraph 7.6(B)(1)(b) shall be adjusted by multiplying such amounts by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Participant's number of years of service (or part thereof) and the denominator of which is ten. (D) Notwithstanding any provisions of the Plan to the contrary, Sections 7.5, 7.6 and 7.7 shall be construed in a manner which is consistent with Section 415 of the Code (which, to the extent necessary, is hereby incorporated herein) and rulings and regulations issued thereunder. 7.7 Definitions For purposes of Section 7.5 and Section 7.6, the following definitions shall apply: (A) "Annual Addition" shall mean the amount allocated to a Participant's Account during the Limitation Year that constitutes: (1) Compensation Reduction Contributions, (2) Company Matching Contributions, (3) voluntary employee after-tax contributions (if any), (4) forfeitures (if any), and (5) amounts described in Section 415(l)(1) and 419A(d)(2) of the Code. (B) "Limitation Year" shall mean the calendar year. 7.8 Timing of Company Contributions The Company shall forward Compensation Reduction Contributions and Company Matching Contributions to the Trustee for investment in the Trust Fund at such times as the Company shall determine, but not later than the end of the Plan Year following the Plan Year for which such contributions were made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall forward Compensation Reduction Contributions as of the earliest date such contributions can reasonably be segregated from the Employer's general assets, but in no event shall such contributions be forwarded later than the 15th business day of the month following the month in which such amounts would otherwise have been payable to 35 the Participant in cash (except as otherwise permitted by Department of Labor regulations). 7.9 Aggregate Limit Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Plan does not satisfy the test provided in subsection 6.4(A) and the Plan does not satisfy the test provided in subsection 7.2(A), then the sum of the Average Actual Deferral Percentage for Participants who are Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year plus the Average Contribution Percentage for Participants who are Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year shall be adjusted if necessary in accordance with Section 7.10, so that the Aggregate Limit, as hereinafter defined is not exceeded. The Aggregate Limit is the greater of: (A) The sum of: (1) 1.25 times the greater of the Average Actual Deferral Percentage for Participants who are Non-Highly Compensated Employees or the Average Contribution Percentage for Participants who are Non-Highly Compensated Employees, plus (2) Two percentage points plus the lesser of the Average Actual Deferral Percentage for Participants who are Non-Highly Compensated Employees or the Average Contribution Percentage for Participants who are Non-Highly Compensated Employees. In no event, however, shall the amount calculated pursuant to this subparagraph (A)(2) exceed the product of two times the lesser of the Average Actual Deferral Percentage for Participants who are Non-Highly Compensated Employees or the Average Contribution Percentage for Participants who are Non-Highly Compensated Employees; or (B) The sum of: (1) 1.25 times the lesser of the Average Actual Deferral Percentage for Participants who are Non-Highly Compensated Employees or the Average Contribution Percentage for Participants who are Non-Highly Compensated Employees, plus (2) Two percentage points plus the greater of the Average Actual Deferral Percentage for Participants who are Non-Highly Compensated Employees or the Average Contribution Percentage for Participants who are Non-Highly Compensated Employees. In no event, however, shall the amount calculated pursuant to this subparagraph (B)(2) exceed the product of two times the greater of the Average Actual Deferral Percentage for Participants who are Non-Highly Compensated Employees or the Average Contribution Percentage for Participants who are Non-Highly Compensated Employees. 36 (C) To the extent permitted by applicable regulations or other Internal Revenue Service rulings, the tests described in (A) and (B) above, at the election of the Committee, shall be applied by substituting "Prior Plan Year Average Actual Deferral Percentage" or "Prior Plan Year Average Contribution Percentage" for "Average Actual Deferral Percentage" or "Average Contribution Percentage" where such terms appear therein. Any such election shall be reflected in an amendment to the Plan. For purposes of this Section 7.9, the Average Actual Deferral Percentage and the Average Contribution Percentage for Participants who are Highly Compensated Employees shall be determined after any corrective distribution of Excess Deferrals pursuant to Section 6.1, Excess Contributions pursuant to Section 6.6, and Excess Aggregate Contributions pursuant to Section 7.4. In addition, for purposes of this Section 7.9 and Section 7.10, if Excess Contributions have been distributed pursuant to Section 6.6, the Average Actual Deferral Percentage of Highly Compensated Employees shall be deemed to be the largest amount which would be permitted under Section 6.4(A) or (B). If Excess Aggregate Contributions have been distributed or forfeited pursuant to Section 7.4, the Average Contribution Percentage of Highly Compensated Employees shall be deemed to be the largest amount which would be permitted under Section 7.2(A) or Section 7.2(B). 7.10 Return of Contributions Above the Aggregate Limit If the Aggregate Limit is exceeded, the Plan shall reduce the Average Actual Deferral Percentage and the Average Contribution Percentage for Participants who are Highly Compensated Employees who are eligible to make Compensation Reduction Contributions and to receive Company Matching Contributions as follows: (A) By first returning Excess Contributions in the same manner as described in Section 6.6, until the Actual Deferral Percentage of a Highly Compensated Employee is reduced to 6%, or until the arrangement satisfies the Aggregate Limit, whichever first occurs; and then (B) By returning Excess Contributions in the same manner as described in Section 6.6 and by simultaneously returning Attributable Matching Contributions to the extent necessary to enable the arrangement to satisfy the Aggregate Limit. For purposes of this Paragraph (B), Attributable Matching Contributions shall mean those Company Matching Contributions which were made pursuant to Section 7.1 to match the Excess Contributions returned pursuant to this Paragraph (B). 37 ARTICLE VIII INVESTMENT AND VALUATION OF ACCOUNTS 8.1 The Fund The assets of the Fund, though credited for bookkeeping purposes to various Accounts for Participants, shall be invested and administered as one trust fund. 8.2 Establishment and Objectives of Investment Funds The contributions and forfeitures allocated for each Plan Year to Accounts of Participants for such Plan Year as provided in Section 6.1, Section 7.1 and Section 10.5, shall be received by the Trustee to be held and administered by it in accordance with the terms of this Plan. Within the context of the Trust Fund, the Trustee at the direction of the Committee shall establish one or more Investment Funds having such investment objectives as may be ascribed to each such fund by the Committee. Such Investment Funds may consist of the Trust's investment in (i) one or more pooled funds established by the Trustee, if it is a bank or trust company, for the investment of the assets of tax qualified pension and/or profit-sharing plans, (ii) one or more mutual funds, (iii) one or more contracts issued by an insurance company, and/or in (iv) any other investment vehicle suitable for the investment of assets of the Trust Fund and designated by the Committee. 8.3 Investment Elections As of the Effective Date and each Valuation Date thereafter, each Participant shall have the right to designate, in accordance with procedures established by the Committee, how amounts allocated to his or her Account are to be allocated among the Investment Funds. The Committee shall compile the results of such elections and direct the Trustee how such amounts held for each Participant are to be allocated among such Investment Funds. The Trustee shall invest such amounts among the Investment Funds in accordance with such investment elections or instructions. Until a new investment election or instruction for any Participant is received by the Trustee, the Trustee shall continue to invest such amounts held for a Participant in the manner designated on the most recently received investment election or instruction relating to such Participant. If the Trustee shall hold such amounts for a Participant for whom it has not received any investment election or instruction, the Trustee shall invest such amounts in the Investment Fund which most nearly fits the description of a short-term fixed income fund. To the extent permitted under applicable law, each Participant shall be solely responsible for his investment elections. The Trustee, the Committee, the Company and the officers, supervisors and other employees of the Company are not empowered to advise a Participant as to the manner in which his Account shall be invested. The fact that an Investment Fund is available to a Participant for investment under the Plan shall not be construed as a recommendation for investment in that Investment Fund. 38 8.4 Participant's Rights to Periodic Reallocation of Accounts As of each Valuation Date, each Participant shall be entitled to direct the Trustee in accordance with procedures established by the Committee to reallocate all or a portion of his or her accumulated Account among one or more of the Investment Funds. Any such reallocation may be made in any whole percentage, dollar or share amount and may relate to the Participant's Compensation Reduction Account, Company Matching Contribution Account and Rollover Account or any of the aforesaid Accounts, at the election of the Participant. Upon receipt of timely instructions from the Committee (which shall be consistent with the directions of Participants desiring allocation or reallocation) the Trustee shall, as soon as practical following receipt of such instructions, invest or reinvest such portions of such Accounts of Participants thus directing allocation or reallocation as will (immediately following such investment or reinvestment) result in such Accounts of each such Participant being invested in the Investment Funds substantially in accordance with the directions of each such Participant. However, no transfers between Investment Funds shall be permitted if prohibited by the rules applicable to the particular Investment Fund from or to which a transfer is to be made or by rules adopted by the Committee and communicated to the Participants. 8.5 Participant's Right to Reallocate Future Contributions As of each Valuation Date, each Participant shall be entitled to direct the Trustee, in accordance with procedures established by the Committee, as to allocation of future contributions pursuant to Section 6.1, Section 7.1 or Section 10.5 among the Investment Funds available under the Plan. Any such election shall be made in whole percentages and shall apply uniformly with respect to all contributions and forfeitures subsequently allocated to the Participant's Account (except to the extent of a Participant's subsequent election pursuant to this Section). The Trustee shall, as soon as practical following receipt of such instructions, invest amounts subsequently allocated to the Participant's Account in such manner as will result in such amounts being invested in the Investment Funds substantially in accordance with the directions of each Participant. 8.6 Valuation of Trust Fund There shall be determined as of each Valuation Date the fair market value of all assets of each of the Investment Funds maintained pursuant to Section 8.2. Such valuation shall be determined in accordance with the principles of Section 3(26) of ERISA and the regulations thereunder and shall give effect to brokerage fees, transfer taxes, contributions, earnings, gains and losses, forfeitures, expenses, disbursements, and all other transactions during the valuation period since the preceding Valuation Date. If applicable, as of each Valuation Date, the Trustee shall cause the organization(s) holding the assets of a particular Investment Fund, such as an insurance company or mutual fund to determine the net earnings or the net loss of each Investment Fund including net capital gains or losses, if any, for the period ending on such date or since the previous Valuation Date, and shall revalue, or cause to be revalued, each Investment Fund so as to reflect the increase or decrease in value of the investments of each Investment Fund as compared to the value of such investments as of the previous Valuation Date. To the 39 extent an Investment Fund is invested in shares or units of participation in a mutual fund or pooled fund maintained by the Trustee, such shares or units of participation shall be valued in the manner they are normally valued by the mutual fund or pooled fund. To the extent an Investment Fund is invested in an annuity or deposit administration contract, including a guaranteed income contract or similar contract issued by an insurance company, it shall be valued in the manner such contract is normally valued by the insurance company. 8.7 Periodic Adjustments to Accounts Adjustments shall from time to time be made to each Participant's Account as follows: (A) Accounts shall be debited currently in respect of any distributions of benefits therefrom. (B) Promptly following each revaluation of an Investment Fund pursuant to Section 8.6 above, the Trustee shall allocate, or shall cause to be allocated, to each such Account invested in such Investment Fund a portion of the net earnings or net loss of such Investment Fund, including appreciation or depreciation in the value of the assets of such fund, such portion being determined by applying to such net earnings or loss the ratio which the balance of each Account in such fund on the immediately preceding Valuation Date bears to the total of the balance of all Accounts in such fund on such Valuation Date, but taking into account in a manner determined to be equitable by the Trustee (with the consent of the Committee) any contributions to, or distributions from, such Accounts since the immediately preceding Valuation Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee may allocate, or cause to be allocated, to each such Account invested in such Investment Fund a portion of the net earnings or net loss of such Investment Fund, periodically and not less frequently than quarterly, on any other basis which in the Trustee's judgment is fair and equitable to Participants and which is based in substance on the sizes of the Accounts invested in such Investment Fund over the period during which such net earnings or net loss in value occurs; provided the Committee consents to such other basis of allocation. However, in the event any of the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.7(B) conflict with the terms of the Trust Agreement the provisions of the Trust Agreement will control. (C) Expenses and compensation of the Trustee and Committee may be charged to the Accounts of Participants as provided in Section 18.3. 40 ARTICLE IX RETIREMENT DATES 9.1 Retirement Wherever in this Plan reference is made to retirement or retirement dates, it shall mean Normal, Deferred, or Disability retirement, whichever is applicable to the Participant. 9.2 Normal Retirement Date A Participant's Normal Retirement Date shall be the first day of the month coincident with or next following such person's Normal Retirement Age. A Participant's Normal Retirement Age shall be the attainment of such person's sixty-fifth (65th) birthday; provided, however, that the Normal Retirement Age of a Participant who was a participant in the R. J. Thompson Holdings, Inc. 401(k) Plan as of December 14, 2001 shall be the attainment of age fifty-nine and one-half (59 1/2) by such Participant. Upon attainment of such person's Normal Retirement Age while in the active service of the Company, the Participant shall have a one hundred percent (100%) nonforfeitable interest in such person's Account. 9.3 Deferred Retirement Date A Participant may continue to participate in the Plan if the Participant continues in the employment of the Employer beyond such person's Normal Retirement Date. The first day of any month coincident with or subsequent to a Participant's termination of employment after such person's Normal Retirement Date shall be known as such person's Deferred Retirement Date. 9.4 Disability Retirement Date An Active or Inactive Participant who has suffered a Disability shall be retired on the last day of the month coincident with or next following such occurrence. 41 ARTICLE X VESTING 10.1 Effect of Allocations Accrued Benefits shall not per se become nonforfeitable, nor entitle any Participant to any interest in any part of the Fund. 10.2 Nonforfeitable Accrued Benefit on Retirement or Death A Participant's Accrued Benefit shall become entirely nonforfeitable upon the first to occur of the Participant's Normal, Deferred or Disability Retirement Date. Upon the death of an Active or Inactive Participant prior to actual retirement, the Participant's Accrued Benefit shall become entirely nonforfeitable. 10.3 Vesting in Compensation Reduction Contribution Account and Rollover Account A Participant shall at all times have a one hundred percent (100%) vested and nonforfeitable interest in his Compensation Reduction Contribution Account and Rollover Account, if any. 10.4 Vesting in Company Matching Contribution Account (A) A Participant whose employment is terminated on or after January 1, 1998 and prior to his Retirement Date (for any reason other than death), shall have a vested and nonforfeitable right in his Company Matching Contribution Account, and any earnings or losses attributable thereto, in accordance with the following schedule: Years of Service Percentage ---------------- ---------- 0-1 years 0% 2 years or more 100% Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Participant who is initially employed on or after January 1, 1999 and whose employment is terminated prior to his Retirement Date (for any reason other than death), shall have a vested and nonforfeitable right in his Company Matching Contribution Account, and any earnings or losses attributable thereto, in accordance with the following schedule: Years of Service Percentage ---------------- ---------- 0-1 years 0% 2 years 20% 3 years 40% 4 years 60% 5 years 80% 6 years 100% 42 If the employment of a Participant is terminated (or is deemed to have been terminated under Section 5.2) prior to having a 100% nonforfeitable right to his Company Matching Contribution Account other than by reason of retirement or death, such Participant's participation under the Plan shall cease and such Participant's forfeitable Accrued Benefit shall be forfeited and applied in accordance with Section 10.5. A Participant's Accrued Benefit which is nonforfeitable shall be distributed in accordance with Article XI. If the Plan's vesting schedule is amended, or the Plan is amended in any way that directly or indirectly affects the computation of a Participant's vested percentage in his Accounts or if the Plan is deemed amended by an automatic change to or from a Top-Heavy vesting schedule, each Participant with at least three Years of Service with the Company may elect, within a reasonable period after the adoption of the amendment or change, to have his vested percentage computed under the Plan without regard to such amendment or change. The period during which the election may be made shall commence with the date the amendment is adopted or deemed to be made and shall end on the latest of: (1) 60 days after the amendment is adopted; (2) 60 days after the amendment becomes effective; or (3) 60 days after the Participant is issued written notice of the amendment by the Company or Plan Administrator. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no election need be provided to any Participant whose nonforfeitable percentage under the Plan, as amended, at any time cannot be less than such percentage determined without regard to such amendment. No amendment to the Plan shall be effective to the extent that it has the effect of decreasing a Participant's accrued benefit. For purposes of this paragraph, a Plan amendment which has the effect of decreasing a Participant's account balance or eliminating an optional form of benefit, with respect to benefits attributable to service before the amendment, shall be treated as reducing an accrued benefit. Furthermore, if the vesting schedule of the Plan is amended, in the case of an Employee who is a Participant as of the later of the date such amendment is adopted or the date it becomes effective, his vested percentage (determined as of such date) in his Company-derived accrued benefit will not be less than his percentage computed under the Plan without regard to such amendment. (B) For purposes of this Section, "Year of Service" shall mean a Vesting Computation Period during which the Employee (regardless of whether the Employee is a Participant) has completed 1,000 Hours of Service, and employment with any Affiliated Company shall be treated as employment with the Company. Further, for purposes of this Section, employment with any entity which would be treated as a single employer with The Toronto-Dominion Bank pursuant to Section 414 43 of the Code shall be treated as employment with the Company, including employment rendered prior to the Effective Date of this Plan. In determining the number of Years of Service, the following rules shall apply: (1) If a Participant has a One-Year Break in Service, Years of Service before such One-Year Break in Service shall not be taken into account until the Participant has completed a Year of Service after such One-Year Break in Service. (2) If a Participant's employment is terminated and the Participant is then later reemployed (regardless of whether a One-Year Break in Service has occurred), then for purposes of determining the Participant's Accrued Benefit, the service performed by the Participant with respect to which the Participant has received a distribution of Accrued Benefits shall be disregarded. The Participant may, however, repay such distribution to the Plan if less than the Participant's entire Accrued Benefit was nonforfeitable and if the Participant makes the repayment prior to the earlier of (a) five years from the date of reemployment, or (b) the Participant's incurring five consecutive One-Year Breaks in Service. Upon such repayment, the Participant's Accrued Benefit shall be recomputed by taking into account service so disregarded. (3) If a Participant does not have any nonforfeitable right to the Participant's Accrued Benefit, Years of Service before any One-Year Break in Service shall not be taken into account if the number of consecutive One-Year Breaks in Service equals or exceeds the greater of five or the aggregate number of such Years of Service prior to such consecutive One-Year Breaks in Service. Such aggregate number of Years of Service before such consecutive One-Year Breaks in Service shall be deemed not to include any Years of Service not required to be taken into account under this subparagraph by reason of any prior period of One-Year Breaks in Service. (4) If a Participant incurs five consecutive One-Year Breaks in Service, Years of Service after such five consecutive One-Year Breaks in Service shall not be taken into account for purposes of determining the vested percentage of the Participant's Accrued Benefit derived from Company contributions before such five consecutive One-Year Breaks in Service. (5) Solely for purposes of determining whether a One-Year Break in Service has occurred, an Employee who is absent from employment because of pregnancy, the birth of the Employee's child, the placement of a child with the Employee for adoption, or the need to care for such child during the period immediately following such birth or placement shall be given credit for each hour which otherwise would have been credited to such Employee but for such absence. If the Committee is unable to determine the number of such hours, eight Hours of Service shall be credited for each 44 day of absence. No more than 501 Hours of Service shall be credited to an Employee under this subparagraph because of such pregnancy or placement. Hours of Service shall not be credited to an Employee unless such Employee furnishes to the Committee such timely information as the Committee may require to establish that the absence from employment is for reasons described above and to establish the number of days for which there was such an absence. Hours of Service credited hereunder shall be credited only for the Plan Year in which the absence begins, if the Employee would be prevented from incurring a One-Year Break in Service in such Plan Year solely because the period of absence is treated as Hours of Service or, in any other case, in the immediately following Plan Year. With respect to an Employee who was employed by Kennedy Cabot & Co. as of its acquisition by Waterhouse Investor Services, Inc. on November 7, 1997, employment with Kennedy Cabot & Co. shall be credited as Years of Service for purposes of this Section, under the rules provided above, as if Kennedy Cabot & Co. were an Affiliated Company. With respect to an Employee who was employed by Jack White and Company as of its acquisition by Waterhouse Investor Services, Inc. on May 29, 1998, employment with Jack White and Company shall be credited as Years of Service for purposes of this Section, under the rules provided above, as if Jack White and Company were an Affiliated Company. A Participant's Years of Service for purposes of this Section 10.4 with respect to periods of employment with Kennedy Cabot & Co. and the Kennedy Cabot Division of Waterhouse Securities, Inc. prior to January 1, 1999 shall not be less than his Years of Vesting Service, if any, credited under the Kennedy Cabot (A Division of Waterhouse Securities, Inc.) 401(k) & Profit Sharing Plan as of December 31, 1998 measured, however, for this purpose to the earlier of such Participant's anniversary of his employment commencement date occurring in the 1999 Plan Year or his actual date of termination of employment. A Participant's Years of Service for purposes of this Section 10.4 with respect to Jack White & Company and the Jack White Division of Waterhouse Securities, Inc. prior to January 1, 1999 shall not be less than his Years of Vesting Service, if any, credited under the Jack White (A Division of Waterhouse Securities, Inc.) 401(k) Plan as of December 31, 1998. With respect to an Employee who was employed by Marketware International, Inc. as of its acquisition by Waterhouse Investor Services, Inc. on June 22, 1999, employment with Marketware International, Inc. shall be credited as Years of Service for purposes of this Section, under the rules provided above, as if Marketware International, Inc. were an Affiliated Company. In addition, a Participant's Years of Service for purposes of this Section 10.4 with respect to periods of employment with Marketware International, Inc. prior to January 1, 2000 shall not be less than his Years of Service for vesting purposes, if 45 any, credited under the Marketware International, Inc. Profit Sharing Plan as of December 31, 1999. With respect to an Employee who was employed by R. J. Thompson Holdings, Inc., R. J. Thompson Securities, Inc., or Info Comp International, Inc. (hereinafter collectively referred to as the "R. J. Thompson Group") on December 15, 2001, employment with a member of the R. J. Thompson Group shall be credited as Years of Service for purposes of this Section, under the rules provided above, as if such member were an Affiliated Company. In addition, and notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, a Participant who was a participant in the R. J. Thompson Holdings, Inc. 401(k) Plan as of December 14, 2001 shall have a vested right in his Company Matching Contribution Account, and any earnings and losses attributable thereto, in accordance with the following schedule: Years of Service Vested Percentage ---------------- ----------------- 0-1 years 0% 1 year 25% 2 years 50% 3 years 75% 4 or more years 100% Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall an Employee receive duplicative credit for Years of Service for the same period of employment. 10.5 Allocation of Forfeitures If a Participant's employment is terminated and the Participant receives a distribution pursuant to Article XI, any amount in which the Participant does not have a nonforfeitable interest shall be immediately forfeited. If such Participant shall again become an Employee prior to incurring five (5) consecutive One-Year Breaks in Service, the Company shall restore (as of the Participant's repayment hereinafter provided for), the dollar amount of such person's Accrued Benefit forfeited, unadjusted for any gains or losses which occurred during said One-Year Breaks in Service, provided that the Participant repays the full amount of any distribution within five (5) years of the date on which he is credited with an Hour of Service for the performance of duties for the Company. If a Participant's nonforfeitable interest in the value of his or her Accrued Benefit is greater than $5,000 ($3,500 if the Participant terminated employment prior to January 1, 1998), but such Participant fails to consent to a distribution as provided in Section 11.1(E), all of the amounts in the Participant's Account shall be (i) retained in the Trust Fund, (ii) invested in accordance with the terms of the Plan applicable to active Participants and (iii) credited to the Participant's Account until: (A) The nonforfeitable amounts are distributed pursuant to Section 11.2 on the Participant's Normal Retirement Date, or 46 (B) The nonforfeitable amounts are distributed pursuant to Section 11.2 prior to the Participant's Normal Retirement Date, at the request of the Participant, or (C) The nonforfeitable amounts are distributed pursuant to Section 11.3 to the Participant's beneficiary upon the Participant's death prior to such person's Normal Retirement Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any amounts in which the Participant does not have a nonforfeitable interest shall be forfeited by such person upon incurring five (5) consecutive One-Year Breaks in Service. Any forfeitures resulting from the operation of this Section shall be used first to reinstate prior forfeitures as required under the first paragraph of this Section 10.5. Any amounts remaining after such reinstatement shall be used as soon as administratively possible to reduce future Company contributions to the Plan pursuant to Article VI or Article VII. To the extent the available forfeitures are insufficient to fully reinstate Participants' previously nonvested amounts, the Company will make an additional contribution to the Plan sufficient to fully reinstate such amounts. 47 ARTICLE XI DISTRIBUTION OF BENEFITS 11.1 General Rules (A) Except as provided elsewhere in the Plan, no portion of a Participant's Accrued Benefit shall be distributed until such Participant has terminated employment. Except as hereinafter provided, all distributions from the Plan shall be made in cash. However, a Participant or Beneficiary who is entitled to a distribution may demand that the benefits in his or her Account invested in Employer Stock (if any) be distributed entirely or partially in Employer Stock. The Committee shall notify the distributee in writing of his right to demand distribution in Employer Stock. Distributions of fractional shares of Employer Stock shall always be made in cash. (B) Notwithstanding anything in this Article to the contrary, the method of payment of a Participant's Accrued Benefit shall be such that the Accrued Benefit will be distributed either (1) not later than the required beginning date (as defined below) or (2) commencing not later than the required beginning date over (a) the life of such Participant or over the lives of such Participant and the Participant's designated Beneficiary or (b) a period not extending beyond the life expectancy of such Participant or the life expectancy of such Participant and the Participant's designated Beneficiary. The required beginning date of any Participant who is a 5% owner (as defined in Section 416(i)(1) of the Code) with respect to the Plan Year ending in the calendar year in which the Participant attains age 70 1/2 shall be the April 1 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which he attains age 70 1/2. Effective January 1, 1999, the required beginning date of any other Participant shall be the April 1 of the calendar year following the later of the calendar year in which the Participant retires or the calendar year in which such Participant attains age 70 1/2. (C) Notwithstanding anything in this Article to the contrary, unless a Participant elects otherwise in writing to the Committee, payment of the Participant's Accrued Benefit shall commence not later than 60 days after the close of the Plan Year in which the latest of the following occurs: (1) the Participant attains age 65; (2) the Participant terminates employment with the Company; or (3) the tenth anniversary of the date the Participant's participation commenced. (D) Notwithstanding anything in this Article to the contrary, if a Participant's Accrued Benefit does not exceed $5,000 ($3,500 if the Participant terminated employment prior to January 1, 1998), the Committee shall distribute such lump sum amount 48 in satisfaction of the Participant's Accrued Benefit without the consent of the Participant or the Participant's spouse. In accordance with procedures established by the Committee, this Section 11.1(D) shall also be applied to distribute to a Participant who terminated employment prior to January 1, 2000 such Participant's vested Account balance without the consent of the Participant or the Participant's spouse provided such vested Account balance is not greater than $5,000 as of an Annuity Commencement Date after January 1, 2000. (E) If a Participant's vested Account balance exceeds $5,000 ($3,500 if the Participant terminated employment prior to January 1, 1998), then distributions shall not commence earlier than the Participant's Normal Retirement Date without the consent of the Participant. A Participant's consent shall not be valid unless the Participant has received notification, not less than 30 days or more than 90 days before the date distributions commence, of the value of his Account balance and his right to defer receipt of such Account balance and such consent is given after the receipt by the Participant of the required notification. Notwithstanding the above, if a distribution is one to which Sections 401(a)(11) and 417 of the Code do not apply, such distribution may commence less than 30 days after the notice required under Regulations Section 411(a)-11(c), provided that: (1) the Committee provides information to the Participant that clearly informs the Participant that the Participant has a right to a period of at least 30 days after receiving such notice to consider the decision of whether or not to elect a distribution (and, if applicable, a particular distribution option), and (2) the Participant after receiving such notice, affirmatively elects a distribution. In accordance with procedures established by the Committee, this Section 11.1(E) shall also be applied to distribute to a Participant who terminated employment prior to January 1, 2000 such Participant's vested Account balance without the consent of the Participant or the Participant's spouse provided such vested Account balance is not greater than $5,000 as of an Annuity Commencement Date after January 1, 2000. (F) If a Participant, and, if applicable pursuant to Code Sections 401(a)(11) and 417, (G) the Participant's spouse, elects in writing to the Committee, the payment of a Participant's Account balance shall commence as of the first day of any calendar month specified by the Participant which is prior to his or her Normal Retirement Date, or as soon as administratively possible after such date. In no event shall distribution of the Account of a Participant who terminates employment prior to Normal Retirement Date be deferred beyond the Participant's Normal Retirement Date or as soon as administratively possible thereafter. 49 (H) If less than the entire vested balance of a Participant's Compensation Reduction Contribution Account, Company Matching Contribution Account or Rollover Contribution Account is distributed to a Participant, such distribution shall be made on a pro-rata basis from all Investment Funds in which such subaccount is invested. 11.2 Retirement If, upon retirement or termination of employment, the Participant's vested Accrued Benefit exceeds $5,000, the Participant may elect to receive his vested Accrued Benefit in one of the following ways: (A) A single lump sum amount; or (B) In equal monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual installments over a period certain not to exceed the life expectancy of the Participant (or Beneficiary in the case of a Participant who dies prior to the time his benefits commenced) or the joint and last survivor life expectancy of the Participant and his Beneficiary so that the amount distributed in each Plan Year equals the amount determined by dividing the Participant's vested account balance on the last day of the immediately preceding Plan Year by the period certain determined in accordance with this Section 11.2(B) which shall be reduced by one for each Plan Year after the Plan Year in which the Participant's benefits commence. Notwithstanding the foregoing and except as provided in Section 11.1(D), a Participant may elect to receive the portion of his or her Account attributable to participation prior to January 1, 1997 in equal annual installments, by purchase of an annuity, or by any combination of such methods. Such election shall indicate also the timing of such method of distribution and shall be made in writing to the Committee within 90 days after the Participant's retirement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, effective for distribution elections first processed by the Committee on or after the later of April 1, 2002 or the ninetieth day after distribution of the notice required by applicable regulations, the only permitted forms of distribution shall be those described in Sections 11.2(A) and (B) above or in Section 11.5. If a Participant elects to have the portion of his or her Account attributable to participation prior to January 1, 1997 distributed in the form of an annuity, such Account shall be distributed in the form of a Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity (QJSA) unless the Participant and spouse, if applicable, have made a qualified election. A qualified election to waive the QJSA shall be made not earlier than ninety (90) days before the Participant's Annuity Commencement Date (as defined below), and not later than the Participant's Annuity Commencement Date, and shall not be effective unless, within ninety (90) days preceding the Annuity Commencement Date, the Participant's spouse irrevocably consents in writing to the Participant's election and to the naming of a specific non-spouse beneficiary (including any class of beneficiaries or contingent beneficiaries), if applicable, and a specific form of benefit; the terms of such consent acknowledge the effect of the waiver; and the waiver is witnessed by a representative of the Committee or a notary public. Any change in the optional form of benefit or non- 50 spouse beneficiary shall require the spouse's consent as hereinabove provided. The provisions of this paragraph shall not be applicable if the Committee is satisfied that the required consent cannot be obtained because the Participant does not have a spouse; because the spouse cannot be located; or because of such other circumstances as the Secretary of the Treasury may prescribe by regulations. This election may be revoked by the Participant, by means of a written notice to the Committee, any number of times prior to his Annuity Commencement Date. For purposes of this Section 11.2, the following terms have the following meanings: "Annuity Commencement Date" means the first day of a period with respect to which an Accrued Benefit is payable as an annuity or in any other form. "Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity" means a single life annuity with respect to a single Participant and a joint and 50% survivor annuity with the Participant's spouse named as the contingent annuitant with respect to a married Participant. Such distribution may commence less than 30 days after the notice required under Section 1.411(a)-11(c) of the Income Tax Regulations is given, provided that: (C) the Committee provides information to the Participant that clearly informs the Participant that the Participant has a right to a period of at least 30 days after receiving the notice to consider the decision of whether or not to elect a distribution, if applicable, and whether or not to elect distribution in the form of a Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity; (D) the Participant may revoke any affirmative distribution election at least until the Annuity Commencement Date, or, if later, at any time prior to the expiration of the 7-day period that begins the day after the explanation of the Participant's election rights is provided to the Participant; (E) the Annuity Commencement Date is after the date the Participant receives notice of his election rights as provided for above; and (F) distribution in accordance with the Participant's affirmative election doesn't commence until after the expiration of the 7-day revocation period referred to in (D) above. (G) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, effective for distribution elections first processed by the Committee on or after the later of April 1, 2002 or the ninetieth day after distribution of the notice required by applicable regulations, the only permitted forms of distribution shall be those described in Section 11.2(A) and (B) above or in Section 11.5. 11.3 Death (A) If the distribution of a Participant's Accrued Benefit has commenced and the Participant dies before the entire interest has been distributed, the remaining 51 portion of such interest shall be distributed at least as rapidly as under the method of distribution elected as of the date of the Participant's death. (B) If a Participant dies before the distribution of such Participant's Accrued Benefit has commenced, the entire Accrued Benefit shall be distributed within five years after the Participant's death. However, any portion of a Participant's Accrued Benefit which is (1) payable to, or for the benefit of, a Beneficiary designated by the Participant and (2) scheduled to be distributed (in accordance with Treasury Regulations) over the life of such designated Beneficiary (or over a period not extending beyond the life expectancy of such Beneficiary) commencing not later than one year after the date of the Participant's death (or such date as the Secretary of the Treasury may by regulations prescribe), will, for purposes of this paragraph, be treated as being distributed on the date such distributions begin. However, if the Beneficiary designated by the Participant is the Participant's spouse, (a) the date on which distributions are required to begin under this paragraph is the date on which the Participant would have attained age 70 1/2 and (b) if the surviving spouse dies before distributions to such spouse begin, this Section shall be applied as if the surviving spouse were the Participant. (C) Subject to Section 11.3(G), the Accrued Benefit of a Participant who dies shall be distributed to such individual's Beneficiary in a lump sum, in equal annual installments, or by purchase of an annuity, or by any combination of such methods, as the Participant shall have designated. If a method of distribution has not been designated, the amount to be distributed shall be paid in a lump sum to the Beneficiary or Beneficiaries designated pursuant to Section 11.3(D) or determined pursuant to Section 11.3(E). (D) On or after becoming a Participant, each Participant may file a written notice with the Committee designating a Beneficiary (including any person, corporation, estate or trust) to receive the undistributed Accrued Benefit remaining after the Participant's death, and designating the method or methods of distribution to such Beneficiary; provided, however, that if a Participant is married, the Participant's spouse must consent in the manner required by Code Section 417(a)(2) to the designation of any Beneficiary other than the spouse. Any such designation may be changed from time to time by subsequent written notice filed with the Committee without the consent of, or any notice to, any previously designated Beneficiary. (E) If no Beneficiary has been designated under Section 11.3(D), or if no designated Beneficiary survives the Participant, the undistributed Accrued Benefit remaining shall be distributed to the following persons as Beneficiaries: (1) to the Participant's spouse if such spouse survives the Participant, (2) to the Participant's issue in equal share, per stirpes, if no spouse survives the Participant, or (3) to the Participant's estate, if neither spouse nor issue survive the Participant. 52 (F) Subject to Section 11.3(G), a Beneficiary designated under Section 11.3(D) or determined under Section 11.3(E) by notice received by the Committee within 30 days following the Participant's death may designate a method or methods of distributing benefits due such Beneficiary following the Participant's death, regardless of whether a method of distribution was designated by the Participant under Section 11.3(D). (G) Effective January 1, 2000, a Beneficiary may elect, in accordance with Section 11.3(F) above, to receive distribution of a Participant's Account in any form of distribution permitted under Section 11.2(A) or Section 11.2(B) provided the total vested value of the Participant's Account exceeds $5,000. If the total vested value of the deceased Participant's Account is not in excess of $5,000, it shall be distributed in a single lump sum amount. 11.4 Other Termination of Employment If a Participant's employment is terminated for any reason other than retirement or death, the Participant's Accrued Benefit shall be distributed in accordance with Section 11.2 above. For purposes of Section 11.3 "terminates employment" and words of similar import shall be substituted for "retires" and words of similar import. 11.5 Direct Rollovers Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, a Participant or Beneficiary may elect, at the time and in the manner prescribed by the Committee in accordance with Treasury Regulations, to have all or part of any amount distributable to such Participant or Beneficiary that qualifies as an "eligible rollover distribution" paid directly to a specified eligible retirement plan specified by a distributee in a direct rollover. For purposes of this Plan, the following terms shall have the following meanings: (A) "direct rollover" means a payment by the Plan to the eligible retirement plan specified by a distributee. (B) "distributee" means (1) a Participant; (2) a Participant's surviving spouse; or (3) a Participant's former spouse who is the alternate payee under a qualified domestic relations order, as defined in Section 414(p) of the Code; provided, however, that such surviving spouse or former spouse shall be considered a distributee only with respect to the interest of such spouse under the Plan. (C) "eligible retirement plan" means an individual retirement account described in Section 408(a) of the Code, an individual retirement annuity described in Section 408(b) of the Code, an annuity plan described in Section 403(a) of the Code, or a qualified trust described in Section 401(a) of the Code that accepts the distributee's eligible rollover distribution; provided, however, that in the case of an eligible rollover distribution to a Participant's surviving spouse, an eligible retirement plan is limited to an individual retirement account or individual retirement annuity. 53 (D) "eligible rollover distribution" means any distribution of all or any portion of the balance to the credit of the distributee other than (1) any distribution that is one of a series of substantially equal periodic payments (not less frequently than annually) made for the life (or life expectancy) of the distributee or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the distributee and the distributee's designated beneficiary; (2) any distribution that is for a specified period of ten years or more; (3) any distribution to the extent that such distribution is required under Section 401(a)(9) of the Code; and (4) the portion of any distribution that is not includible in gross income (determined without regard to the exclusion for net unrealized appreciation with respect to employer securities). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a hardship distribution (as described in Section 401(k)(2)(B)(iv) of the Code) of Compensation Reduction Contributions, qualified nonelective contributions and qualified matching contributions shall not be treated as an eligible rollover distribution for Plan Years beginning on and after January 1, 1999. The Committee shall provide each Participant entitled to an eligible rollover distribution with written notice in the form and manner required under Section 402(f) of the Code. Except as provided in Section 11.1(E) of this Plan, no distribution shall commence until 30 days after the Participant's receipt of such notice. 11.6 Non-Assignability of Benefits Except as otherwise permitted by law and in Article XVI, no benefit under this Plan shall be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer or assignment by any Participant or Beneficiary, nor shall benefits in any manner be liable for, or subject to attachment or legal process for or against such person, except that a voluntary and revocable assignment not exceeding ten percent of any benefit payment is permissible unless the assignment is made for purposes of defraying administration costs of the Plan. If any person entitled to any benefit hereunder becomes bankrupt or attempts to anticipate, alienate, sell, transfer, assign, pledge, encumber, or charge such benefits, otherwise than as permitted herein, the Trustee shall hold or apply the same for the benefit of such person, such person's spouse, children or other dependents, or any of them, in such manner as the Committee shall determine. Furthermore, with respect to judgments, orders, decrees issued and settlement agreements entered into on or after August 5, 1997, a Participant's benefit may be reduced if a court order or requirement to pay arises from: (1) a judgment of conviction for a crime involving the Plan; (2) a civil judgment (or consent order or decree) that is entered by a court in an action brought in connection with a breach (or alleged breach) of fiduciary duty under Part 4 of ERISA; or (3) a settlement agreement entered into between the Participant and either the Secretary of Labor or the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation in connection with a breach of fiduciary duty under Part 4 of ERISA by a fiduciary or any other person. The court order, judgment, decree, or settlement agreement must specifically require that all or part of the amount to be paid to the Plan be offset against the Participant's Plan benefits. 54 If the survivor annuity requirements of Code Section 401(a)(11) apply with respect to distributions from the Plan to the Participant and the Participant has a spouse at the time at which the offset is to be made, such offset shall not be made unless the Plan complies with Code Section 401(a)(13)(C)(iii). 11.7 Substitute Payee If any person entitled to receive any benefits hereunder is in his or her minority, or is otherwise, in the judgment of the Committee, legally, physically, or mentally incapable of personally receiving such benefits, the Committee may direct the Trustee to distribute such benefits to such incapable person's legally appointed guardian or may make such distribution to such person, persons or institutions, for the benefit of such incapable person, as the Committee in its discretion determines will most nearly fulfill the intended purpose of the distribution. 11.8 Conclusiveness of Committee's Determination The determination of the Committee as to (A) the identity of the proper recipient benefit under this Plan, and (B) the amount properly payable, shall be conclusive and payment in accordance with such determinations shall constitute a complete discharge. 11.9 Annuity Contracts The annuity contracts referred to herein shall be single premium contracts purchased with assets of the Fund by the Trustee from such insurance company and in such form as the Participant or the Committee, where appropriate, shall designate. Every such annuity contract shall be nontransferable by its terms and shall provide for periodic payments in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Article. Effective for distribution elections first processed by the Committee on or after the later of April 1, 2002 or the ninetieth day after distribution of the notice required by applicable regulations, annuity contracts shall not be a permitted form of distribution under the Plan. 11.10 Investment of Account Balance of Terminated Participant In the event a Participant's employment with the Company is terminated and the Participant fails to consent to an immediate distribution of his Account, such Account shall continue to be invested pursuant to the otherwise applicable provisions of the Plan. 55 ARTICLE XII TOP-HEAVY RULES 12.1 Top-Heavy Plan The Plan shall be deemed to be Top-Heavy if, as of the Determination Date (defined in Section 12.5(B)), the aggregate value of the Accrued Benefits for all Key Employees (as defined below) exceeds 60 percent of the value of the Accrued Benefits for all Employees. The Plan shall be deemed also to be Super Top-Heavy unless (A), as of the Determination Date (as defined below), the aggregate value of the Accrued Benefits for all Key Employees does not exceed 90 percent of the aggregate value of the Accrued Benefits for all Employees and (B) "four" is substituted for "three" in Section 12.2. 12.2 Minimum Contribution Solely in the event that a Non-Key Employee is not covered by a defined benefit plan of the Company or an Affiliated Company which provides the minimum benefit required by Section 416(c)(1) of the Code during a Plan Year in which this Plan is a Top-Heavy Plan, the contributions and forfeitures allocated to each such Non-Key Employee who has not separated from service by the end of the Plan Year shall be equal to not less than the lesser of: (A) Three percent (3%) of such Participant's Compensation in the Plan Year, or (B) The percentage of such Participant's Compensation in the Plan Year which is equal to the percentage at which contributions and forfeitures are made to the Key Employee for whom such percentage is the highest for the year. The percentage referred to in Paragraph (B) above shall be determined by dividing the contributions and forfeitures allocated to the Key Employee by such Employee's Compensation. For purposes of this Section 12.2, Compensation Reduction Contributions shall be disregarded in determining the amount of contributions allocated to Non-Key Employees. The Company shall make such additional contributions to the Plan as shall be necessary to make the allocation described above. The provisions of this section apply without regard to contributions or benefits under Social Security or any other Federal or State law. An adjustment may be made to this Section, as permitted under Treasury Regulations, in the event an Employee is also entitled to an increased benefit in any other Top Heavy plan while it is in the Aggregation Group with this Plan. To the extent Company Matching Contributions are allocated to Non-Key Employees to meet the minimum benefit requirements of this Section 12.2, such Company Matching Contributions shall not be treated as matching contributions for purposes of Section 401(k) and 401(m)of the Code. A Non-Key Employee who is otherwise entitled to a minimum contribution under this Section shall not fail to receive the required minimum contribution because the Employee is excluded from participation because the Employee failed to make elective 56 Compensation Contributions under the Plan or because the Employee failed to accrue 1,000 Hours of Service during the Plan Year. 12.3 Aggregation of Plans The Plan shall be treated as a Top-Heavy Plan if (A) it is required to be included in an Aggregation Group and (B) such group is a Top-Heavy Group, even if the Plan would not otherwise (i.e., without regard to this Section) be a Top-Heavy Plan. An "Aggregation Group" is comprised of, and is required to include, each plan of the Company in which a Key Employee is a Participant (a "Key Employee Plan") and each other plan of the Company which, when viewed together with a Key Employee Plan, enables the Key Employee Plan to satisfy the coverage requirements of Code Sections 401(a)(4) or 410. However, the Company may elect to treat any plan not required to be included in the Aggregation Group as being part of such group if such group would continue to meet the requirements of Code Sections 401(a)(4) and 410 with such plan being taken into account. The Aggregation Group will be deemed a Top-Heavy Group if the sum, as of the Determination Date, of (1) the present value of the cumulative accrued benefits for Key Employees under all defined benefit plans in such group and (2) the aggregate of the accounts of Key Employees under all defined contribution plans included in such group exceeds 60% of a similar sum determined for all employees. The permissive inclusion of a plan in an Aggregation Group shall not cause the Plan to be Top-Heavy. 12.4 Definitions and Special Rules (A) Key Employee and Non-Key Employee With respect to any Plan Year, any Employee or former Employee who, at any time during such Plan Year or any of the four preceding Plan Years, either (A) is an officer of the Company having annual compensation greater than 50% of the amount in effect under Code Section 415(b)(1)(A) for any such Plan Year, (B) is one of the ten Employees having annual compensation from the Company of more than the limitation in effect under Code Section 415(c)(1)(A) and owning (or considered owning within the meaning of Code Section 318) more than one-half percent interest in the Company and the largest interest in the Company, (C) owns (or is considered as owning within the meaning of Code Section 318) more than 5 percent of the outstanding stock of the Company or stock possessing more than 5 percent of the total combined voting power of all the stock of the Company or (D) earns as compensation from the Company more than $150,000 per year and owns (or is considered as owning within the meaning of Code Section 318) more than one percent of the outstanding stock of the Company or stock possessing more than one percent of the total combined voting power of all stock of the Company. For purposes of this Article, the terms "Employee" and "Key Employee" shall include their Beneficiaries, and no more than 50 employees (or, if lesser, the greater of 3 employees or 10 percent of the employees) shall be treated as officers. 57 "Non-Key Employee" means an Employee other than a Key Employee. (B) Determination Date Determination Date shall mean, with respect to any Plan Year, the last day of the preceding Plan Year or, in the case of the first Plan Year, the last day of such first Plan Year. The Accrued Benefits of a Key Employee and of any other Employee, for purposes of testing for Top-Heaviness, shall be determined as of the Determination Date and shall include the amount of any contributions that would be allocable to the Participant Accounts as of the Determination Date, even if such amounts have not yet been contributed. (C) For purposes of determining the Accrued Benefit of an Employee, the Accrued Benefit shall be increased by the aggregate distributions made with respect to such Employee under the Plan during the five-year period ending on the Determination Date. (D) The Accrued Benefit of any individual who either (1) is not a Key Employee but was a Key Employee with respect to any prior Plan Year or (2) has not performed any services for the Company at any time during the five-year period ending on the Determination Date shall not be taken into account for purposes of Section 12.1. (E) For purposes of Section 12.2, contributions and benefits under Chapter 21 (relating to the Federal Insurance Contributions Act), Title II of the Social Security Act (or any other Federal or State law) shall not be taken into account. 58 ARTICLE XIII WITHDRAWALS WHILE EMPLOYED 13.1 Hardship Withdrawals (A) The Committee shall direct the Trustee to make a distribution to a Participant in accordance with this Section in the event of a Participant's hardship and request for withdrawal. For purposes of this Section, a distribution will be on account of hardship only if the distribution: (1) is made on account of an immediate and heavy financial need of the Participant, and (2) is necessary to satisfy such immediate and heavy financial need and does not exceed the amount required to relieve such need and is not reasonably available from other resources of the Participant. (B) Immediate and heavy financial need defined: Immediate and heavy financial needs recognized by the Plan shall include and be limited to: (1) expenses for medical care (as described in Section 213(d) of the Code) previously incurred by the Participant, the Participant's spouse or any dependent of the Participant or amounts necessary for these persons to obtain medical care described in Section 213(d) of the Code; (2) purchase (excluding mortgage payments) of a principal residence for the Participant; (3) payment of tuition and related educational fees for the next twelve months of post-secondary education for the Participant or the Participant's spouse, children or dependents; or (4) the need to prevent eviction of the Participant from his principal residence or foreclosure on the mortgage of the Participant's principal residence. The amount of the financial need may include any amounts necessary to pay any federal, state or local income taxes or penalties reasonably anticipated to result from the distribution. (C) The determination of whether an amount is necessary to satisfy a financial need shall be made in accordance with applicable regulations issued under Code Section 401(k) and in a uniform and nondiscriminatory manner with respect to all Participants. For purposes of determining if a distribution is necessary to satisfy a financial need, the Participant's resources shall be deemed to include those assets of the Participant's Spouse and minor children that are reasonably available to the Participant. 59 A distribution will be deemed necessary to satisfy the immediate and heavy financial need of the Participant if: (1) the distribution is not in excess of the amount of the immediate and heavy financial need; (2) the Participant has obtained all distributions, other than hardship distributions, and all nontaxable loans currently available under all plans maintained by the Company or an Affiliated Company; (3) the Plan, and all other plans maintained by the Company, provide that the Participant's elective contributions and employee contributions, if any, (except for mandatory after-tax employee contributions to a defined benefit plan) will be suspended for at least 12 months (6 months for hardship distributions processed on or after March 1, 2002) after receipt of the hardship distribution; and (4) either (i) the Plan and all other plans maintained by the Company and each Affiliated Company provide that the Participant may not make elective contributions for the Participant's taxable year immediately following the taxable year of the hardship distribution in excess of the applicable limit under Section 402(g) of the Code for such next taxable year less the amount of such Participant's elective contributions for the taxable year of the hardship distribution or (ii) the Participant enters into a legally enforceable agreement to such effect; provided that this Section 13.1(C)(4) shall be null and void as of March 1, 2002. (D) The Committee may require the submission of such evidence as it may reasonably deem necessary to confirm the existence of such a hardship. A request for distribution pursuant to this section shall be approved or denied by the Committee within sixty (60) days after the date the request, complete with all evidence with respect thereto requested by the Committee, is given to the Committee by the Participant. In the event that such request is approved, the distribution shall be made within thirty (30) days after notice of approval is given by the Committee to the Participant from such portions of the Participant's Account as he shall designate except to the extent earlier distribution is permitted under Section 11.1(E). However, under no circumstance may Qualified Non-Elective Contributions and earnings thereon, or earnings on the Participant's Compensation Reduction Contributions be distributed pursuant to this Section. The minimum withdrawal under this Section shall be the lesser of (i) one thousand ($1,000) dollars or (ii) the entire value, to the extent then vested, of the Participant's Account. In no event shall the amount of the withdrawal exceed the vested portion of the Participant's Account. (E) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Participant received a hardship distribution under the terms of the Kennedy Cabot (A Division of Waterhouse Securities, Inc.) 401(k) & Profit Sharing Plan or the Jack White (A Division of Waterhouse Securities, Inc.) 401(k) Plan prior to its merger into this Plan as of December 31, 60 1998, such Participant shall suspend all Compensation Reduction Contributions, elective tax-deferred contributions and after-tax Employee contributions under all tax-qualified plans and non-qualified plans of deferred compensation maintained by the Company and any Affiliated Company for a period of one (1) year from the date of such withdrawal. In addition, such Participant may not make Compensation Reduction Contributions or elective tax-deferred contributions under any other tax-qualified plan maintained by the Company or any Affiliated Company for the Participant's taxable year immediately following the taxable year of the withdrawal in excess of the applicable limit under Section 402(g) of the Code for such next taxable year less the amount of the Participant's elective tax-deferred contribution under any plan maintained by Jack White & Company or Kennedy Cabot & Co. for the taxable year of the withdrawal. (F) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Participant received a hardship distribution under the terms of the Marketware International, Inc. Profit Sharing Plan prior to its merger into this Plan as of December 31, 1999, such Participant shall suspend all Compensation Reduction Contributions, elective tax-deferred contributions and after-tax Employee contributions under all tax-qualified plans and non-qualified plans of deferred compensation maintained by the Company and any Affiliated Company for a period of one (1) year from the date of such withdrawal. In addition, such Participant may not make Compensation Reduction Contributions or elective tax-deferred contributions under any other tax-qualified plan maintained by the Company or any Affiliated Company for the Participant's taxable year immediately following the taxable year of the withdrawal in excess of the applicable limit under Section 402(g) of the Code for such next taxable year less the amount of the Participant's elective tax-deferred contributions under any plan maintained by Marketware International, Inc. for the taxable year of the withdrawal. (G) Effective as of December 15, 2001 and notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Participant received a hardship distribution under the terms of the R. J. Thompson Holdings, Inc. 401(k) Plan prior to its merger into this Plan as of December 15, 2001, such Participant shall suspend all Compensation Reduction Contributions, elective tax-deferred contributions and after-tax Employee contributions under all tax-qualified plans and non-qualified plans of deferred compensation maintained by the Company and any Affiliated Company for a period of one (1) year from the date of such withdrawal. In addition, such Participant may not make Compensation Reduction Contributions or elective tax-deferred contributions under any other tax-qualified plan maintained by the Company or any Affiliated Company for the Participant's taxable year immediately following the taxable year of the withdrawal in excess of the applicable limit under Section 402(g) of the Code for such next taxable year less the amount of the Participant's elective tax-deferred contributions under any plan maintained by R. J. Thompson Holdings, Inc. for the taxable year of the withdrawal. 61 13.2 Distributions Upon Attaining Age 59 1/2 A Participant who has attained age fifty-nine and one-half (59 1/2) may request that any portion of his Account be distributed as of a Valuation Date which is not less than thirty (30) days following receipt of the request by the Committee (except as otherwise provided in Section 11.1(E)), and the dollar value of such portion of his Account as of said Valuation Date be paid to him in cash or, effective August 1, 2001, to the extent provided in Section 13.5, in cash and Employer Stock, if any. The minimum withdrawal under this Section shall be the lesser of (i) one thousand ($1,000) dollars or (ii) the entire value, to the extent then vested, of the Participant's Account. In no event shall the amount of the withdrawal exceed the vested portion of the Participant's Account. 13.3 Withdrawals While Partially Vested If a withdrawal distribution is made to a Participant from such Participant's Company Matching Contribution Account at a time when the Participant is less than one hundred percent (100%) vested in such Account, the Participant's remaining vested portion of such person's Company Matching Contribution Account shall be determined by the following formula: X=P(AB+D)-D For purposes of applying the formula: P is the vested percentage at the relevant time; AB is the Account balance at the relevant time and D is the amount of the distribution. 13.4 No Distribution of Collateral No distribution may be made from the portion of a Participant's Account which represents collateral for a loan pursuant to Section 14.5. 13.5 Withdrawal on Pro-Rata Basis If less than the entire vested balance of a Participant's Compensation Reduction Contribution Account, Company Matching Contribution Account or Rollover Contribution Account is withdrawn by a Participant pursuant to this Article XIII, such withdrawal shall be made on a pro-rated basis from all Investment Funds in which such subaccount is invested. Notwithstanding the foregoing, effective August 1, 2001, to the extent that any pro-rata portion of a distribution will be withdrawn from an Investment Fund which is invested in Employer Stock, if any, the Participant may elect that such portion of the distribution be distributed in Employer Stock; provided, however, that distribution of fractional shares of Employer Stock shall always be made in cash. 13.6 Committee May Adopt Further Rules All withdrawals shall be subject to such further rules and regulations as the Committee shall from time to time prescribe and administer in a nondiscriminatory manner. 62 13.7 Withdrawal From Rollover Account Effective August 1, 2001, a Participant who has a Rollover Account may request that any portion of his Account be distributed as of a Valuation Date which is not less than thirty (30) days following receipt of the request by the Committee (except as otherwise provided in Section 11.1(E)), and the dollar value of such portion of his Rollover Account as of said Valuation Date be paid to him in cash or, to the extent provided in Section 13.5, in Employer Stock, if any. The minimum withdrawal under this Section shall be the lesser of (i) one thousand ($1,000) dollars or (ii) the entire value of the Participant's Rollover Account. No more than two (2) withdrawals may be made pursuant to this Section 13.7 in the same calendar year. 63 ARTICLE XIV LOANS 14.1 Overall Limitations The Committee may authorize the Trustee to make a loan to any Participant provided the Participant is (i) an active Employee who is not on unpaid leave of absence at the time the loan application is made or (ii) a former Employee who is a party in interest as defined in Section 3(14) of ERISA. Each application for a loan shall be made in accordance with procedures established by the Committee (which such procedures are hereby incorporated by reference). A loan shall be approved by the Committee if the loan application satisfies the conditions set forth in this Article and in such uniform and nondiscriminatory rules as may be adopted by the Committee. The Participant shall be permitted no more than one outstanding loan from this Plan at any time. In addition, a Participant shall not be eligible to obtain a loan from the Plan if such Participant has a loan outstanding from the TD Waterhouse Group, Inc. Profit Sharing Plan (prior to January 1, 2002, from the TD Waterhouse Holdings, Inc. Profit Sharing Plan). Notwithstanding the foregoing, effective March 7, 1997, a Participant shall be permitted to have two loans outstanding from this Plan at the same time; provided, however, that only one loan shall be permitted to be outstanding from this Plan if the Participant has a loan outstanding from the TD Waterhouse Group, Inc. Profit Sharing Plan (prior to January 1, 2002, from the TD Waterhouse Holdings, Inc. Profit Sharing Plan). No loan shall be granted under the Plan to the extent it would cause the aggregate balance of all loans which a Participant has outstanding under this Plan and under any other qualified plan maintained by the Company or an Affiliated Company (an "Other Plan") to exceed an amount equal to the lesser of: (A) $50,000 reduced by the excess (if any) of (a) the highest outstanding balance of all loans from the Plan and all Other Plans during the one-year period ending on the Loan Determination Date, over (b) the outstanding balance of all loans from the Plan and all Other Plans on the Loan Determination Date; (B) one-half (1/2) of an amount equal to the vested portion of the Participant's Account; or (C) an amount such that the monthly loan repayment does not exceed the amount of the Participant's Monthly Payroll Amount (determined at the time the loan application is made). For this purpose, the term "Monthly Payroll Amount" means the net amount payable to the Participant during the first and second payroll period of each month. The "Loan Determination Date" for purposes of determining the value of a Participant's maximum loan hereunder and the outstanding balance of any loan shall be the Valuation Date as of which the loan is granted. 64 Participant shall furnish such information as, the Trustee or Committee may, in discretion, deem necessary to substantiate the purpose of the loan. In addition, the Committee may impose additional restrictions on or may suspend or terminate the loan program pursuant to Section 15.1. 14.2 Terms of Loans All loans shall be on such terms and conditions as the Committee may determine, provided that all loans shall: (A) Be made pursuant to a promissory note which is subject to default rules which are not inconsistent with those described in Section 14.5 and which is secured by the Loan Account; (B) Be amortized on a substantially level basis, with payments to be made not less frequently than quarterly; (C) Bear a reasonable rate of interest, which shall be equal to the prime lending rate as stated in the Wall Street Journal (Eastern Standard Edition) on the date as of which the loan is made plus one percent (1%); (D) Provide for repayment in full on or before the earlier of (a) five years after the date when the loan is made or fifteen (15) years after the date the loan is made if the loan is used to acquire a dwelling which, within a reasonable period of time, is to be used as the principal residence of the Participant or (b) the date when distribution of the Participant's Plan benefit may commence; and (E) Be in an amount not less than $1,000 or such other amount determined from time to time by the Committee and communicated to Participants. 14.3 Source of Loans A Loan Account shall be established for each Participant who receives a loan from the Plan. There shall be transferred to the Loan Account from his Account the amount to be borrowed by the Participant. The transfer shall be made from the subaccounts maintained on behalf of a Participant pursuant to Section 2.1 on a pro-rata basis to the extent of his vested value in each such subaccount. The Investment Funds within each of such subaccounts shall also be liquidated on a pro-rata basis. 14.4 Withholding and Application of Loan Payments In applying for a loan, a Participant must consent to the repayment of the loan (principal and interest) through periodic payroll withholding, whenever possible. In applying for a loan, a Participant must consent to the payment of any outstanding balance of the loan from the Loan Account in the event of a default, as determined in accordance with Section 14.5. 65 If a Participant is employed by the Company outside the United States or, during the term of an outstanding loan a Participant is transferred to a position with the Company or Affiliated Company outside the United States, Participant shall make semimonthly payment by personal check or equivalent negotiable instrument delivered to the Committee as agent for the Trustee by the due date for the payment. If a Participant begins an unpaid leave of absence loan payments shall be suspended. When Participant returns from such unpaid leave of absence, the amortization schedule shall be adjusted so that the loan is repaid within the original term. Upon Participant's cessation of employment with the Company and each Affiliated Company, the loan will be considered due and payable in full and within 60 days of such date. In addition, if a Participant is making loan repayments by personal check or equivalent negotiable instrument, the loan will be considered due and payable in full and will be considered in default upon (a) nonpayment within sixty (60) days (90 days for loans granted on and after January 1, 2002) after the due date, or (b) nonpayment within fifteen (15) days after the due date upon two occasions during the term of the loan; provided, however, that nonpayment by a Participant on unpaid leave of absence shall not be deemed to be a default of the loan unless such unpaid leave of absence is for a period of greater than one year or extends beyond the original term of the loan. Principal payments shall be credited first to the Participant's Loan Account (and any loss caused by nonpayment of such loan shall be borne solely by such Account) and shall then be transferred along with any interest payments to the subaccounts maintained on behalf of the Participant in the ratio in which such subaccounts provided funding for the loan. Such amounts shall be invested in accordance with the Participant's then current investment election. 14.5 Default A Participant shall be in default if: (A) a periodic payment is not made within 60 days (90 days for loans granted on and after January 1, 2002) after the due date or within 15 days after the due date upon two occasions during the term of the loan; provided, however, that a Participant on an unpaid leave of absence shall not be deemed to be in default of the loan unless such unpaid leave of absence extends for a period longer than one year or beyond the loan maturity date; or (B) Any promise that is made in the promissory note or security agreement executed by the Participant with the Trustee in connection with the loan is broken; or (C) Participant fails to repay the entire principal amount plus all interest before the earlier of the loan maturity date, or the date of cessation of employment with the Company and each Affiliated Company. If Participant is in default, all indebtedness owing under the loan shall become due and payable. All indebtedness owing under the loan also shall become due and payable upon the date proposed for distribution of Participant's Account under the Plan. 66 As collateral security for the payment of all indebtedness owing under the loan, Participant grants to Trustee, its successors and assignee, a security interest in Participant's present and future balances under the Loan Account. If Participant is in default, Trustee shall have all rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code, together with all rights and remedies provided under the Plan. Participant consents to the reduction of his/her Loan Account balance under the Plan if Participant is in default and if such reduction is for the purpose of satisfying (in whole or in part) Participant's obligations under the loan. Any such reduction shall not occur earlier than the date the Participant's Account is first distributable under Code Section 401(k) and regulations issued thereunder. Trustee may delay enforcing any of its rights under the promissory note and security agreement executed in connection with the loan. 14.6 Administrative Rules and Procedures The Committee may adopt such written administrative rules and procedures applicable to the administration of this Section as it may deem necessary or appropriate. Such rules and procedures may be more restrictive than the provisions of this Section provided that these rules and procedures are nondiscriminatory in effect, prospectively applied and permitted under the Code and regulations thereunder. 67 ARTICLE XV AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION 15.1 Amendment The Plan may be wholly or partially amended or otherwise modified at any time by the Board of Directors. However, (A) no amendment or modification shall authorize or permit any part of the Fund, other than such part as is required, as provided herein, for the payment of Plan expenses, to be used for or diverted to purposes other than for the exclusive benefit of the Participants or their Beneficiaries or cause or permit any portion of the Fund (or any portion of other assets held by the Trustee under this Plan) to revert to or become the property of the Company except as provided in Section 1.3; (B) no amendment or modification shall have any retroactive effect so as to cause any reduction, as of the date of such amendment, in the benefits due any Participant or any Retired or Terminated Participant or Beneficiary, except that any amendment may be retroactive which is necessary to bring the Plan into conformity with governmental regulations in order to qualify the Plan for tax exemptions and may affect any provisions of the Plan in any respect to comply with such regulations; (C) no amendment or modification may be made which shall increase the duties or liabilities of the Trustee without its written consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the power to amend or terminate the Plan is reserved to the board of directors of The Toronto-Dominion Bank (the "TDB Board") or such committee or committees as the TDB Board shall appoint to exercise such powers; provided, however, that the Company shall remain the sponsor of the Plan. Pursuant to the authority delegated by the TDB Board, the Toronto-Dominion Bank Senior International Pension Committee shall have the authority to amend or terminate the Plan; provided, however, that the board of directors of The Toronto-Dominion Bank shall retain concurrent authority to amend or terminate the Plan. In addition, the Committee shall have the authority to adopt amendments which do not significantly affect the cost of the Plan and which address administrative procedures or which may be necessary or appropriate to qualify or maintain the Plan, any trust and any contract with an insurance carrier which may form a part of the Plan as a plan and trust meeting the requirements of Sections 401(a) and 501(a) of the Code. 15.2 Permanent Discontinuance of Contributions; Termination (A) Permanent Discontinuance of Contributions While the Plan and Trust are intended to be permanent, contributions to the Plan may be permanently discontinued at any time at the discretion of the Board of 68 Directors, by giving written notice to the Trustee. Thereafter, no further contributions shall be made to the Trustee under the Plan, and the Accrued Benefits of each Participant shall become fully nonforfeitable. There shall be no change thereafter in any such Account except (1) through revaluation of the Trust and allocation of earnings pursuant to Article VIII; and (2) through distributions of benefits by the Trustee to the Participants pursuant to the Plan. (B) Termination The Plan and the Trust shall terminate if: (1) the Board of Directors shall, in their discretion, so determine; or (2) the Company is legally adjudicated bankrupt, or makes general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or is dissolved. The Trustee shall distribute Accrued Benefits to the Participants entitled thereto in the same manner in which they would have been distributed to the Participants if their Normal Retirement Date had been on the effective date of the termination of the Plan and Trust provided, however, that a Participant's Accrued Benefit shall be reduced by a pro rata portion of any termination expenses not paid by the Company pursuant to Section 18.3. (C) Nonforfeitable Accrued Benefits on Termination Upon permanent discontinuance of contributions by the Company to a Plan (whether or not notice is given to the Trustee pursuant to Section 15.2(A)), or upon termination or partial termination of the Plan, the appropriate Accounts of all affected Participants shall become entirely nonforfeitable. 69 ARTICLE XVI QUALIFIED DOMESTIC RELATIONS ORDERS (QDROS) 16.1 Terms of a QDRO The provisions of Section 11.6 shall not be applicable to a Qualified Domestic Relations Order, and payment of benefits shall be made in accordance with the terms of such order provided that such order: (A) creates or recognizes the existence of an Alternate Payee's right to, or assigns to an Alternate Payee the right to, receive all or a portion of the Accrued Benefit payable to a Participant under the Plan; (B) clearly specifies: (1) the name and the last known mailing address (if any) of the Participant and the name and mailing address of each Alternate Payee covered by the order; (2) the amount or percentage of the Participant's Accrued Benefit to be paid by the Plan to each such Alternate Payee or the manner in which such amount or percentage is to be determined; (3) the number of payments or period to which such order applies; and (4) the name of each plan to which such order applies; (C) does not require the Plan to provide any type or form of benefit, or any option, not otherwise provided under the Plan; (D) does not require the Plan to provide increased benefits (determined on the basis of actuarial value); and (E) does not require the payment of benefits to an Alternate Payee which are required to be paid to another Alternate Payee under another order previously determined to be a Qualified Domestic Relations Order. 16.2 QDRO Definitions The following terms shall have the following meanings for purposes of this Article: (A) "Qualified Domestic Relations Order" means any judgment, decree or order (including approval of a property settlement agreement) which: (1) relates to the provision of child support, alimony payments, or marital property rights to a spouse, former spouse, child, or other dependent of the Participant; 70 (2) is made pursuant to a state domestic relations law (including a community property law); and (3) which meets the requirements of the foregoing Section 16.1. (B) "Alternate Payee" means any spouse, former spouse, child or other dependent of a Participant who is recognized by a Qualified Domestic Relations Order as having a right to receive all, or a portion of, the benefits payable under the Plan with respect to such Participant. 16.3 Payments Prior to Separation from Employment In the case of any payment made before a Participant has separated from the service of the Company, a Qualified Domestic Relations Order shall not be considered as failing to meet the requirements of Section 16.1 solely because such order requires that payment of benefits be made to an Alternate Payee: (A) on or after the date on which the Participant attains (or would have attained) the Earliest Retirement Age (as hereafter defined); (B) as if the Participant had retired on the date on which such payment is to begin under such order (but taking into account only the value of the Accrued Benefit standing to the Participant's credit on such date); and (C) in any form in which such benefits may be paid under the Plan to the Participant. For purposes of this Section, the term "Earliest Retirement Age" means the earlier of (i) the date on which the Participant is entitled to a distribution under the Plan, or (ii) the later of (1) the date the Participant attains age 50, or (2) the earliest date on which the Participant could begin receiving benefits under the Plan, if he separated from service. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Qualified Domestic Relations Order so provides and, if the benefit payable to the Alternate Payee exceeds $5,000, the Alternate Payee consents in writing, such benefits may be paid as soon as administratively practicable following the date that the order is deemed to be qualified or such other later date as shall be specified in the order, regardless of whether such date precedes the Earliest Retirement Age. 16.4 Treatment of Former Spouse To the extent provided in any Qualified Domestic Relations Order: (A) the former spouse of a Participant shall be treated as a "surviving spouse" of such Participant for purposes of Section 401(a)(11) and 417 of the Code, and any spouse of the Participant shall not be treated as a spouse of the Participant for such purposes; and 71 (B) if married for at least one (1) year to the Participant, such former spouse shall be treated as meeting the requirements of Section 417(d) of the Code. 16.5 Notification of Receipt of Order The Committee shall promptly notify a Participant and any other Alternate Payee of the receipt of a Qualified Domestic Relations Order and of the Plan's procedure for determining whether the order meets the requirements of a Qualified Domestic Relations Order under this Article. Within a reasonable period of time after the receipt of such order, the Committee, in accordance with such procedures as it shall from time to time establish, shall determine whether such order meets the requirements of a Qualified Domestic Relations Order under this Article, and shall notify the Participant and each Alternate Payee of such determination. 16.6 Separate Accounting During any period of time in which the issue of whether a domestic relations order meets the requirements of a Qualified Domestic Relations Order under this Article is being determined by a Court of competent jurisdiction or by the Committee, the Committee shall separately account for the amounts (hereafter referred to as the "segregated amounts") which would have been payable to the Alternate Payee during such period if the order had been determined to be a Qualified Domestic Relations Order under this Article. If within the eighteen (18) month period beginning with the date on which the first payment would be required to be made under the domestic relations order, such order is determined to be a Qualified Domestic Relations Order under this Article, the Committee shall pay the segregated amounts (plus any interest thereon) to the person or persons entitled thereto. If within the eighteen (18) month period referred to above it is determined that such order is not a Qualified Domestic Relations Order under this Article, or the issue as to whether such order so qualifies is not resolved, then the Committee shall pay the segregated amounts (plus any interest thereon) to the person or persons who would have been entitled to such amounts if there had been no order. Any determination that an order is a Qualified Domestic Relations Order under this Article which is made after the end of the eighteen (18) month period described above shall be applied prospectively only. 72 ARTICLE XVII ROLLOVER CONTRIBUTIONS 17.1 Rollover of Funds From Other Plans In the event that an individual (A) becomes an Eligible Employee, (B) shall have been a participant in an employer's plan described in Section 401(a) of the Code, which is exempt from tax under Section 501(a) of the Code, (C) received from such trust an eligible rollover distribution, as defined in Section 402(c)(4) of the Code, and (D) such property consists of money, then, with the consent of the Committee, such Eligible Employee may transfer any portion of the distribution to this Plan on or before the sixtieth (60th) day after the day on which he received such property. Furthermore, such Eligible Employee may direct the prior trust to transfer any portion of the distribution directly to the Plan. Upon receipt by the Plan, such amount shall be credited to the Rollover Account established hereunder pursuant to this Section 17.1. Such Eligible Employee shall have a one hundred percent (100%) vested and nonforfeitable right to all amounts credited to his Rollover Account as a result of such transfer. 17.2 Rollover of Funds From Conduit Individual Retirement Account (IRA) In the event that an individual (A) becomes an Eligible Employee, and (B) shall have established an Individual Retirement Account or Individual Retirement Annuity (hereinafter collectively referred to as "IRA") described in Sections 408(a) and 408(b), respectively, of the Code, which IRA is comprised solely of amounts constituting a rollover contribution of an eligible rollover distribution, as defined in Section 402(c)(4) of the Code, from an employees plan described in Section 401(a) of the Code, which is exempt from tax under Section 501(a) of the Code, or an annuity plan described in Section 403(a) of the Code, and (C) received from such IRA the entire amount of the account or the entire value of the annuity, including any earnings on such sums, pursuant to Section 408(d)(3)(A)(ii) of the Code, and (D) such property consists of money, then, with the consent of the Committee, the Eligible Employee may transfer the entire amount received in such distribution to this Plan (for the benefit of such individual) on or 73 before the sixtieth (60th) day after the day on which he received such payment or distribution, and upon receipt by the Plan, such amount shall be credited to the Rollover Account established hereunder pursuant to Section 17.1. Such Eligible Employee shall have a one-hundred percent (100%) vested and nonforfeitable right to all amounts credited to his Rollover Account as a result of such IRA rollover. 17.3 Treatment as Participant If an Eligible Employee who is not a Participant in the Plan makes a rollover pursuant to this Article XVII, he shall be treated as a Participant for all purposes of the Plan except that he shall not be entitled to have Compensation Reduction Contributions made on his behalf or to receive Company Matching Contributions or Qualified Non-Elective Contributions until he shall become a Participant pursuant to Article IV. 17.4 Mistaken Rollover If it is determined that a rollover contribution did not qualify under the Code for a tax free rollover, then as soon as reasonably possible the balance in the Rollover Account shall be: (A) segregated from all other Plan assets, (B) treated as a non-qualified trust established by and for the benefit of the Participant, and (C) distributed to the Eligible Employee. Such a mistaken rollover contribution shall be deemed never to have been a part of the Plan and shall not adversely affect the tax qualification of the Plan under the Code. 17.5 Investment of Rollover Account A Participant's Rollover Account shall be invested in accordance with the Participant's investment election made in accordance with procedures established by the Committee, or, if the Participant fails to make such an investment election, in accordance with the Participant's then current investment election. An Eligible Employee who is not a Participant shall make an investment election in accordance with procedures established by the Committee with respect to his Rollover Account. If such Eligible Employee fails to make such an election, his Rollover Account shall be invested in the investment fund which the Committee determines has the lowest risk of all investment funds provided under the Plan. 74 ARTICLE XVIII MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS 18.1 Uniform Application The powers of discretion granted to the Company, Committee, and Trustee under this Plan shall be exercised and applied uniformly to all Participants, and not so as to discriminate in favor of Employees who are highly compensated or who are officers or shareholders of the Company. 18.2 Determination of Contributions and Compensation Not Subject to Review The determination by the Company or Committee of contributions made, or a Participant's Compensation, shall be binding on all interested persons and shall not be subject to review in any manner. The Trustee shall have no right or duty to inquire into the amount of the Company's contributions or the Committee's determination of Compensation, and shall be accountable only for funds actually received. 18.3 Payment of Expenses In addition to contributions under Article VII, the Company may elect to pay any and all administrative expenses of the Plan including any and all fees and retainers of the Trustee, consultants, administrators, investment advisers, custodians, auditors, legal counsel, and other agents retained by the Company, the Committee or the Trustee with respect to the Plan. If the Company does not elect to pay all or part of such expenses, the Trustee shall pay such expenses, or the balance thereof, and charge the payment thereof against the Fund. 18.4 Participant's Rights; Claim Procedure (A) Neither the establishment of the Plan hereby created, nor any modification thereof, nor the creation of any fund or account, nor the payment of any benefit, shall be construed as giving to a Participant or any other person any legal or equitable right against the Company, or any officer or employee thereof, or against the Committee, or the Trustee, except as provided herein. (B) A claim for any benefit under the Plan may be made by a Participant or Beneficiary within 60 days following the event which gives rise to the claim. Such claim shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given when mailed to the Committee at the Company's principal office by Certified Mail, Return Receipt Requested. If the claim is wholly or partially denied, notice of such denial shall be mailed to the claimant within 30 days following receipt by the Committee of the written claim. Such notice shall be deemed to have been given when mailed to the claimant by Certified Mail, Return Receipt Requested, and shall set forth in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant: (1) the specific reason or reasons for the denial; 75 (2) a specific reference to the provisions of the Plan on which the denial is based; (3) a description of any additional material or information necessary for the claimant to perfect the claim and an explanation of why such material or information is necessary; (4) an explanation of the Plan's claim review procedure, as set forth below; and (5) any other information that may be required under applicable Department of Labor regulations. Within 60 days after receipt by the claimant of a notice of denial of his or her claim, the claimant may request the Committee to review such denial. Such request shall be deemed to have been made when mailed to the Committee at the Company's principal office by Certified Mail, Return Receipt Requested. If such request is made, the Committee shall conduct such a review and render a decision within 60 days following receipt of the claimant's request and if requested by the claimant, a hearing shall be held at which the claimant may present the claimant's views and at which the claimant may be represented by counsel. In order to enable the claimant to prepare for such a hearing, or to submit issues and comments in writing, the Committee will make available all pertinent documents for review by the claimant or the claimant's representative. The decision on review shall be in writing and shall contain the specific reasons for the decision, written in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant with specific reference to the pertinent Plan provisions on which the decision is based. It shall be mailed to the claimant by Certified Mail, Return Receipt Requested. These claims procedures will be administered in accordance with ERISA Section 503 and related rules and regulations thereunder. 18.5 Written Notice May Be Required In any case in which the Company, the Committee, or the Trustee, shall be directed to take any action upon the occurrence of any event it shall be under no obligation to take such action, unless and until proper and satisfactory written notice of such occurrence shall have been received by it. A certificate in writing to the Trustee or the Committee from any officer of the Company, as to the happening of any event, shall constitute conclusive evidence thereof. The Trustee shall be fully protected and discharged from all liability in accepting and relying upon any such certificate from an officer of the Company, or a member of the Committee. 18.6 Merger or Consolidation of Plan In the case of any merger or consolidation of the Plan with, or transfer of assets or liabilities of the Plan to, any other plan, each Participant must be entitled to receive a benefit immediately after the merger, consolidation or transfer (if the new plan then terminated) which is equal to or greater than the benefit the Participant would have been 76 entitled to receive immediately before the merger, consolidation or transfer (if this Plan then terminated). 18.7 Validity or Writings Presumed The Company and the Trustee shall all be fully protected in relying upon any notice, request, consent, letter, telegram or other paper or document reasonably believed to be genuine, and to have been signed or sent by the proper person. 18.8 When Notice Given Any notice required or permitted to be given under this Article XVIII shall be deemed given as of the date of personal delivery or the date of mailing, as the case may be, shall be in writing and shall be delivered personally or sent by Certified Mail, Return Receipt Requested if to the Company or the Committee or Trustee, to the Company's principal office, and if to a Participant or Beneficiary, to the address as set forth on the records of the Company. A copy of any notice to the Trustee shall also be delivered personally or mailed, Certified Mail, Return Receipt Requested, to the Trustee's principal office. 18.9 Construction of Plan This Plan shall be construed and administered, and its validity shall be determined, according to the laws of the State of New York, to the extent not preempted by federal law. 18.10 Plan Binding Upon Representatives This Plan shall be binding upon the heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns of all parties, present and future. 18.11 Titles to Have No Effect The titles of Articles and Sections in this Plan are included only for convenience and are not to be considered in construction or interpretation of the provisions hereof. 18.12 Word Construction Where applicable in this Plan, words used in the masculine shall be read and construed in the feminine, and the singular of any word shall include the plural and the plural may be read in the singular. 18.13 No Provision to be Interpreted as Exculpatory To the extent required by law, no provision in this Plan shall be interpreted as relieving the Company, or any member of the Committee, or the Trustee of responsibility for the proper performance of all responsibilities assigned under this Plan or required by applicable law. 77 However, to the extent permitted by applicable law, including without limitation Section 404(c) of ERISA and Title 29 of the Code of Federal Regulations Section 2550.404c-1, no Plan fiduciary shall be liable for investment losses sustained by any Participant or Beneficiary. 78 ARTICLE XIX VOTING EMPLOYER STOCK 19.1 Voting Employer Stock To the extent that the Plan offers Employer Stock as an investment option to Participants, all Employer Stock shall be voted by the Trustee in accordance with this Section 19.1. Each Participant shall be entitled to instruct the Trustee, in accordance with such procedures as shall be determined by the Committee, as to the manner in which the Trustee shall vote shares of Employer Stock then allocated to each such Participant's Account. Any Employer Stock with respect to which voting instructions are not received from Participants and all Employer Stock held by the Trustee which is not then allocated to Participants' Accounts (if any) shall be voted by the Trustee in the same proportion as the voting instructions received from Participants unless, however, the Trustee determines that voting shares in that fashion would be an imprudent exercise of its fiduciary responsibility under ERISA. 79
