ARTICLE III

DEFERRAL ELECTIONS

Section 3.1 Elections to Defer Compensation.

A Participant may defer Compensation in a given calendar year, upon the completion of an Enrollment Agreement, based on elections made in a manner prescribed by the Administrator as follows:

(a) In general, each Eligible Employee may elect to make a Compensation Deferral by filing with the Administrator an Enrollment Agreement provided by the Administrator no later than December 31 (or such other earlier date determined by the Administrator) of the Plan Year preceding the Plan Year for which the Compensation is to be earned and specifying whether the Participant elects a Base Salary Deferral or a Bonus Compensation Deferral or a combination, the form and timing of distribution and such other information as the Administrator shall require.

(b) The Administrator may, in its discretion, permit individuals who first become Eligible Employees after the beginning of a Plan Year, including individuals who become Eligible Employees because they are promoted or hired by the Company on or after January 1 of a Plan Year to a position which has been designated by the Administrator as an Eligible Employee, to enroll in the Plan for that Plan Year by filing a completed and fully executed Enrollment Agreement as soon as practicable following the date the Eligible Employee is notified of such Eligible Employee’s eligibility but, in any event, within 30 days after such date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, any Enrollment Agreement executed by an Eligible Employee, pursuant to this Section, to make a Compensation Deferral shall apply only to Compensation earned by the Eligible Employee after the date on which such Enrollment Agreement is filed.

Section 3.2 Special Rules for Performance-Based Compensation.

Notwithstanding Section 3.1 above, if an Eligible Employee’s Bonus Compensation is “performance-based compensation” as contemplated by Section 409A, the Administrator may allow the Eligible Employee to elect to defer all or a portion of such Eligible Employee’s Bonus Compensation for a Plan Year at a time determined by the Administrator, which may be no less than six months before the end of the applicable Plan Year in which such Bonus Compensation is to be earned.

Section 3.3 Distribution Elections.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Plan, a Participant’s Separation from Service shall be the distribution event for his or her Account.

(b) As part of the Enrollment Agreement, each Participant shall select whether his or her Account shall be paid in a single lump sum or annual installments payable over a period of 2 to 5 years (as elected by the Participant in the Enrollment Agreement), in each case following the Participant’s Separation from Service in accordance with Section 6.1. This election shall apply to the Participant’s entire Account for any and all Plan Years, subject to change only in accordance with Section 3.5 below.

7

(c) If a Participant fails to elect a lump sum or annual installments as provided in Section 3.3(b) above, then the Participant’s Account shall be paid as a lump sum in accordance with Section 6.1.

Section 3.4 Investment Elections.

(a) At the time of making the deferral elections described in Section 3.1 and the distribution elections described in Section 3.3, the Participant shall designate, in a manner prescribed by the Administrator, which Funds the Participant’s Account shall be deemed to be invested in for purposes of determining the Investment Return to be credited to those Accounts. The Funds shall be as selected by the Administrator from time to time and the Administrator may add, change, or delete Funds at any time. In making the designation pursuant to this Section 3.4, the Participant may specify that all or any whole percentage of the Participant’s Accounts be deemed to be invested in one or more of the Funds. A Participant may change the designation made under this Section 3.4, in a manner prescribed by the Administrator, on any business day. Such change shall be effective as soon as administratively feasible after it is received by the Administrator.

(b) If a Participant fails to elect a type of Fund under this Section 3.4, he or she shall be deemed to have elected the Fund designated by the Administrator.

(c) Although the Participant may designate the Funds according to Section 3.4(a) above, the Administrator shall select, from time to time, in its sole discretion, for each of the Funds described in Section 3.4(a) above, a commercially available mutual fund or contract or an investment fund established with and administered by an investment manager selected by the Administrator. The Investment Return of each such commercially available mutual fund, contract or investment fund shall be used to determine the amount of earnings to be credited to Participants’ Accounts under Article IV although nothing set forth in this Plan shall require an actual investment of monies in any such mutual fund or in any other Fund designated as a deemed investment vehicle for Compensation Deferrals.

Section 3.5 Subsequent Elections.

A Participant may make a subsequent election to change the form or time at which Compensation Deferrals credited to a Participant’s Account shall be paid; provided that (i) the election must be made no later than 12 months prior to the time the Participant’s Account would otherwise be payable, (ii) the subsequent election may not take effect until at least 12 months after the date on which the election is made, and (iii) except with respect to payment upon an Unforeseeable Financial Emergency, Disability, or death, the first payment with respect to which such election is made must be deferred for a period of five years from the date such payment would have otherwise have been made. Participants shall be permitted to make only one subsequent election to change the form or time of payment of their Account.

Section 3.6 Other Rules Regarding Deferral Elections.

(a) The Administrator may establish minimum or maximum amounts that may be deferred under this Section and may change such standards from time to time; provided, however, in no event may an Eligible Employee’s Base Salary Deferrals exceed eighty percent (80%) of Base Salary. Any such limits shall be communicated by the Administrator to the Participants prior to the commencement of a Plan Year.

8

(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Eligible Employee shall be permitted to defer Compensation which the Administrator reasonably determines is required to pay the Eligible Employee’s portion of payroll and other taxes and contributions towards benefits (including, but not limited to, medical, life, dental and disability) provided to the Eligible Employee and such Eligible Employee’s dependents.

(c) A Participant’s Compensation Deferral shall remain in effect and be irrevocable, notwithstanding any change in a Participant’s Compensation, for the entire Plan Year for which it is effective. A new Compensation Deferral election must be made for each Plan Year during which a Participant wishes to defer Compensation. Compensation Deferral elections shall be made on an Enrollment Agreement filed with the Administrator by December 31 of a Plan Year (or such earlier date as may be designated by the Administrator) to make a Compensation Deferral for Compensation to be earned on or after January 1 of the immediately following Plan Year.

(d) All deferral elections under the Plan shall be made in accordance with Section 409A.

ARTICLE IV

ACCOUNTS

Section 4.1 General.

The Administrator shall establish and maintain a Account with respect to each Participant. Each Participant’s Account shall be further divided into separate subaccounts (“subaccounts”), each of which corresponds to a Fund elected by the Participant pursuant to Section 3.4 or otherwise as deemed appropriate by the Administrator. For Participants with a Grandfathered Account, the Administrator shall separately account for such Grandfathered Account to the extent necessary to preserve the grandfathered status of such account under Section 409A.

Section 4.2 Compensation Deferrals.

Unless otherwise specified by the Committee, as soon as practicable after the end of each regular Company payroll period, the Administrator shall credit the Participant’s Account with an amount equal to the Base Salary and/or Bonus Compensation that would otherwise have been earned for such payroll period in accordance with the irrevocable election in the Enrollment Agreement and in accordance with the Participant’s investment elections under Section 3.4(a). Any amount once taken into account as Base Salary and/or Bonus Compensation for purposes of this Plan shall not be taken into account thereafter. The Participant’s Account shall be reduced by the amount of payments made by the Company to the Participant or the Participant’s Beneficiary pursuant to this Plan.

Section 4.3 Company Contribution.

From time-to-time and in its sole discretion, the Committee may provide that Company Contributions be credited to some or all Participants, according to the terms and conditions determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, and the Committee need not treat all Participants the same in making Company Contributions. If made, these Company Contributions shall be in addition to any specified in Section 4.4.

9

Section 4.4 Company Match.

(a) For each Plan Year that a Participant makes a Base Salary Deferral election and/or a Bonus Compensation Deferral election equal to or greater than the Minimum Deferral, the Employer shall credit to the Participant’s Account an amount equal to the Applicable Percentage of the Participant’s respective Base Salary and/or Bonus Compensation from the Employer in excess of the dollar limitation in effect for the Plan Year under Section 401(a)(17) of the Code, subject to the rules set forth below. For clarification, the Minimum Deferral may be satisfied independently for Base Salary and Bonus Compensation and the Company Match shall only apply to the type(s) of Compensation for which the Minimum Deferral was satisfied and disregard any type(s) of Compensation for which the Minimum Deferral was not satisfied. A Participant whose Compensation Deferrals are cancelled during a Plan Year under Section 6.5 shall not be eligible for the Company Match for such Plan Year. Additionally, for Participants who first become Eligible Employees after the beginning of the Plan Year (as described in Section 3.1(b)), unless otherwise specified by the Committee (in its sole discretion), the Company Match shall only take into account Compensation earned after the date on which a Participant’s Enrollment Agreement is filed and becomes irrevocable, provided however that Compensation earned prior to the election may be considered in determining whether the dollar limitation under Section 401(a)(17) is met for the Plan Year.

(b) Rules Applicable to Base Salary Deferrals.

To receive the Company Match on Base Salary Deferrals for a Plan Year, the Participant must elect a Base Salary Deferral greater than or equal to the Minimum Deferral for the Plan Year in which the Base Salary is earned. For clarification, whether the Participant satisfies the Minimum Deferral shall be determined at the time the Base Salary Deferral election becomes irrevocable.

(c) Rules Applicable to Bonus Compensation Deferrals.

To receive the Company Match on Bonus Compensation Deferrals for a Plan Year, the Participant must elect a Bonus Compensation Deferral greater than or equal to the Minimum Deferral for the Plan Year in which the Bonus Compensation is earned, regardless of when the Bonus Compensation is paid. For clarification, whether the Participant satisfies the Minimum Deferral shall be determined at the time the Bonus Compensation Deferral election becomes irrevocable.

10

(d) Timing of Company Match and Annual Limitations. The Employer shall credit Company Match related to both Base Salary Deferrals and Bonus Compensation Deferrals for a Plan Year at a time determined by the Committee. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, all Company Match for a Plan Year shall be calculated and credited as soon as practicable after the Compensation to which the Company Match relates would otherwise have been paid but for the deferral (e.g. on a payroll period basis for Base Salary Deferrals and after the payment of bonuses for Bonus Compensation Deferrals). The Committee may elect a different timing, in its discretion, provided that that in all events Company Match related to a Plan Year shall be credited no later than December 31 of the calendar year following such Plan Year. For clarification, in calculating the amount of the Company Match for a Plan Year, the dollar limitation of under Section 401(a)(17) of the Code that applied to the Plan Year in which the Compensation was earned shall be used, regardless of when the Compensation is paid or when the Company Match is calculated.

Section 4.5 Investment Return.

Each subaccount of a Participant’s Account shall, as of each business day, be credited with earnings and debited with losses in an amount equal to that determined by multiplying the balance credited to such subaccount as of the previous day by the Investment Return for the corresponding Fund pursuant to Section 3.4.

ARTICLE V

Section 5.1 Compensation Deferral.

A Participant’s Compensation Deferral credited to the Participant’s Account shall be 100% vested at all times

Section 5.2 Company Match.

Unless otherwise specified by the Committee, a Company Match credited to a Participant’s Account, if any, shall be 100% vested at all times. The Committee shall at all times retain the discretion to apply a vesting schedule to Company Contributions at the time credited to a Participant’s Account.

Section 5.3 Company Contribution.

Unless otherwise specified by the Committee, Company Contributions credited to a Participant’s Account, if any, shall be 100% vested at all times. The Committee shall at all times retain the discretion to apply a vesting schedule to Company Contributions at the time credited to a Participant’s Account.

ARTICLE VI

DISTRIBUTIONS

Section 6.1 General.

A Participant’s Account shall be distributed in the form elected by the Participant, or the default form provided in the event a Participant fails to make an election, pursuant to Section 3.3 and shall be paid, or commence to be paid, within 30 days following the end of the twelfth (12^th) full calendar month after the Participant has a Separation from Service, unless payment is deferred pursuant to Section 3.5. Any unvested portion of any Account shall be forfeited.

11

Section 6.2 Permitted Acceleration of Payment.

Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan or election by a Participant to the contrary, the time or schedule of a payment may be accelerated to the extent necessary to satisfy any applicable federal, state and local income tax withholding and federal payroll withholding requirements pursuant to provisions of Section 409A, related to benefits provided in the Plan.

Section 6.3 Small Benefit Cashout.

Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan or election by a Participant to the contrary, in the event the value of the vested portion of a Participant’s Account does not exceed $50,000 as of the Participant’s Separation Date, then the total vested portion of the Participant’s Account shall be paid in a single lump sum within 30 days following the end of the twelfth full calendar month after the Participant has a Separation from Service.

Section 6.4 Disability.

If a Participant incurs a Disability, the entire value of his or her Account shall be distributed to the Participant in a single lump sum. Any distribution pursuant to this Section shall occur as soon as practicable following the determination of the Disability as approved by the Committee (but in no event after December 31 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Disability occurs). In the event that a Participant requests, and the Committee approves, a payment pursuant to this Section, the Participant’s deferral election shall be cancelled.

Section 6.5 Unforseeable Emergency.

A Participant who incurs an unforeseeable emergency may apply to the Committee for an immediate distribution from his or her Account in an amount necessary to satisfy such unforeseeable emergency and the tax liability attributable to such distribution, subject to the rules set forth below.

Section 6.6 Permissible Distribution Event.

Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, no distributions shall be made except upon a specified date or event as permitted pursuant to Section 409A.

Section 6.7 Payment by Trust.

The Company may cause the payment of benefits under this Plan to be made in whole or in part by the trustee of a trust designated by the Committee (the “Trust”). The Administrator may direct the Trustee to pay the Participant’s or Beneficiary’s benefit at the time and in the amount described herein. In the event the amounts allocated to the Participant under the Trust are not sufficient to provide the full amount of benefit payable to the Participant, the Company shall pay the remainder of such benefit.

Section 6.8 Inability to Locate Participant.

In the event that the Administrator is unable to locate a Participant or Beneficiary within two years following the date the Participant was to commence receiving payment, the entire amount allocated to the Participant’s Account shall be forfeited. If, after such forfeiture, the Participant or Beneficiary later claims such benefit, such benefit shall be reinstated without interest or earnings from the date payment was to commence pursuant to the Participant’s elections under

13

Section 3.3, as applicable. The Participant (or the Beneficiary) shall be solely and exclusively responsible for any adverse financial or tax consequences (including without limitation a decrease in the value of the benefit or the imposition of additional taxes under Section 409A of the Code) of a delay in payment related to the Administrator’s inability to locate the Participant or the Beneficiary

ARTICLE VII

DEATH BENEFITS

Upon the death of a Participant before the Participant’s Account has been paid in full (either in a lump sum or installment payments), the Participant’s Beneficiary shall receive the balance of the Participant’s vested Account as of the date of death, as adjusted by subsequent gains or losses prior to distribution, in the form of a lump sum payment as soon as reasonably practicable following the date of the Participant’s death (but in no event after December 31 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which death occurs).

ARTICLE VIII

CLAIMS PROCEDURES

Section 8.1 Claims.

A Participant or, following the Participant’s death, a Beneficiary (collectively referred to in this section as “Claimant”) may submit a claim for benefits under the Plan. Any claim for benefits under this Plan shall be made in writing to the Administrator. If such claim for benefits is wholly or partially denied, the Administrator shall, within 90 days after receipt of the claim, notify the Claimant of the denial of the claim unless special circumstances require an extension of time for processing the claim, which extension shall not exceed 180 days from receipt of the claim.

The Claimant, or duly authorized representative, shall receive, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records and other information relevant to the Claimant’s claim for benefits. The Claimant, or duly authorized representative may also submit written comments, documents, records and other information relating to the claim for benefits, and the review shall take into account such items whether or not they were considered in the initial benefit determination.

14

The Administrator shall deliver to the Claimant, or authorized representative, a written decision on the claim within 60 days after the receipt of the request for review, except that if there are special circumstances that require an extension of time, the 60-day period may be extended to 120 days. If such extension is required, written notice shall be furnished to the Claimant, or authorized representative, prior to the termination of the initial 60-day period and shall indicate the special circumstances requiring an extension of time and the date by which the final decision will be rendered. The decision shall be written in a manner calculated to be understood by the Claimant, include the specific reason or reasons for the decision, include a statement that the Claimant is entitled to receive upon request and free of charge, access to and copies of all documents and other information relevant to the claim, contain a specific reference to the pertinent Plan provisions upon which the decision is based, and include a statement describing any voluntary appeal procedures offered by the Plan and a statement of the Claimant’s right to bring an action under section 502(a) of ERISA.

Any and all of the Company’s assets shall be, and remain, the general unpledged, unrestricted assets of the Company. The Company’s obligation under the Plan shall be merely that of an unfunded and unsecured promise of the Company to pay money in the future, and the rights of the Participants and Beneficiaries shall be no greater than those of unsecured general creditors.

Section 10.2 Restriction Against Assignment.

The Company shall pay all amounts payable hereunder only to the Persons designated by the Plan and not to any other Persons. No part of a Participant’s Accounts shall be liable for the debts, contracts, or engagements of any Participant, the Participant’s Beneficiary, or successors in interest, nor shall a Participant’s Accounts be subject to execution by levy, attachment, or garnishment or by any other legal or equitable proceeding, nor shall any such Person have any right to alienate, anticipate, commute, pledge, encumber, or assign any benefits or payments

hereunder in any manner whatsoever. If any Participant, Beneficiary or successor in interest is adjudicated bankrupt or purports to anticipate, alienate, sell, transfer, assign, pledge, encumber or charge any distribution or payment from the Plan, voluntarily or involuntarily, the Administrator, in its discretion, may cancel such distribution or payment (or any part thereof) to or for the benefit of such Participant, Beneficiary or successor in interest in such mariner as the Administrator shall direct.

Section 10.3 Withholding.

There shall be deducted from each payment made under the Plan or any other compensation payable to the Participant (or Beneficiary) all taxes which are required to be withheld by the Company in respect to such payment or this Plan. The Company shall have the right to reduce any payment (or compensation) by the amount of cash sufficient to provide the amount of said taxes.

Section 10.4 Amendment, Modification, Suspension or Termination.

The Committee or the Board of Directors of the Company may at any time, or from time to time, in its sole discretion amend or terminate the Plan in any manner that the Committee or the Board of Directors of the Company deems appropriate, including amending or terminating outstanding deferral elections, if necessary or appropriate to comply with changes to applicable law, without the consent of any Participant; provided, however, that no amendment shall reduce any benefits accrued under the terms of the Plan as of the date of amendment. Without limiting the foregoing, during the 30 days preceding or 12 months following a Change in Control, the Committee or the Board of Directors of the Company may, in its sole discretion, terminate the Plan and distribute all Accounts in a lump sum to Participants no later than 12 months thereafter, in accordance with Section 409A.

Section 10.5 Governing Law.

This Plan shall be construed, governed and administered in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware (including its statute of limitations and all substantive and procedural law, and without regard to its conflict of laws provisions), except as to matters of federal law.

Section 10.6 Receipt or Release.

Any payment to a Participant or the Participant’s Beneficiary in accordance with the provisions of the Plan shall, to the extent thereof, be in full satisfaction of all claims against the Administrator, the Company and the Trustee. The Administrator may require such Participant or Beneficiary, as a condition precedent to such payment, to execute a receipt and release to such effect.

Section 10.7 Payments on Behalf of Persons Under Incapacity.

In the event that any amount becomes payable under the Plan to a Person who, in the sole judgement of the Administrator, is considered by reason of physical or mental condition to be unable to give a valid receipt therefore, the Administrator may direct that such payment be made to any Person found by the Administrator, in its sole judgement, to have assumed the care of such Person. Any payment made pursuant to such determination shall constitute a full release and discharge of the Administrator and the Company.
