(a)
Nominal water depth (in feet), as described above for semisubmersibles and drillships,
reflects the current outfitting for each drilling unit. In many cases, individual rigs are
capable of achieving, or have achieved, greater water depths. In all cases, floating rigs are
capable of working successfully at greater depths than their nominal water depth. On a case
by case basis, we may achieve a greater depth capacity by providing additional equipment.
(b)
Such enhancements may include the installation of top-drive drilling systems, water depth
upgrades, mud pump additions and increases in deck load capacity. Top-drive drilling
systems are included on all rigs included in the table above.
(c)
GOM means U.S. Gulf of Mexico. Mexican GOM means the Gulf of Mexico offshore Mexico.

Total return assuming reinvestment of dividends. Dividends for the periods reported include
quarterly dividends of $0.125 per share of our common stock that we paid during 2002, the
first three quarters of 2003, the last two quarters of 2005 and all four quarters of 2006.
Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2003 through the first two quarters of 2005, we paid a
quarterly dividend of .0625 per share. Assumes $100 invested on December 31, 2001 in our
common stock, the S&P 500 Index, a competitor/service industry group index that we constructed
and a peer group index comprised of a group of other companies in the contract drilling
industry. The new peer group index is comprised of companies that we believe provide a more
accurate reflection of our industry peers than the competitor/service industry group index
that we have included in the past. Therefore, we believe that the new peer group index
provides a more meaningful comparison of our relative stock performance.
(2)
The competitor/service industry group that we constructed consists of the following
companies: Baker Hughes Incorporated, ENSCO International Incorporated, Halliburton Company,
Noble Drilling Corporation, Schlumberger Ltd., Tidewater Inc. and Transocean Inc. Total
return calculations were weighted according to the respective companys market capitalization.

See Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations Liquidity and Capital Requirements in Item 7 and Note 8 Long-Term Debt to our
Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this report for a discussion of changes in
our long-term debt.
(2)
The deficiency in our earnings available for fixed charges for the years ended December 31,
2004 and 2003 was approximately $2.3 million and $55.3 million, respectively. For all periods
presented, the ratio of earnings to fixed charges has been computed on a total enterprise basis.
Earnings represent income from continuing operations plus income taxes and fixed charges. Fixed
charges include (i) interest, whether expensed or capitalized, (ii) amortization of debt issuance
costs, whether expensed or capitalized, and (iii) a portion of rent expense, which we believe
represents the interest factor attributable to rent.

2.21 | Related Employer means the Employer and (a) any corporation that is a member of a controlled group of corporations as defined in Section 414(b) of the Code that includes the Employer and (b) any trade or business that is under common control as defined in Section 414(c) of the Code that includes the Employer. | |
2.22 | Retirement has the meaning specified in 6.01(f) of the Adoption Agreement. | |
2.23 | Separation from Service means the date that the Participant dies, retires or otherwise has a termination of employment with respect to all entities comprising the Related Employer. A Separation from Service does not occur if the Participant is on military leave, sick leave or other bona fide leave of absence if the period of leave does not exceed six months or such longer period during which the Participants right to re-employment is provided by statute or contract. If the period of leave exceeds six months and the Participants right to re-employment is not provided either by statute or contract, a Separation from Service will be deemed to have occurred on the first day following the six-month period. | |
Whether a termination of employment has occurred is based on the facts and circumstances. Where an employee continues to provide services to the Related Employer at an annual rate that is less than twenty percent of the services he rendered, on average, during the immediately preceding three full calendar years of employment (or, if employed less than three years, such lesser period) and the annual remuneration he receives for such services is less than twenty percent of the average annual remuneration he earned during his final three full calendar years of employment (or, if less, such lesser period), the employee will be treated as having incurred a Separation from Service. Where an employee continues to provide services to the Related Employer in a capacity other than as an employee, a Separation from Service will not be deemed to have occurred if the former employee provides services at an annual rate that is fifty percent or more of the services he rendered, on average, during the immediately preceding three full calendar years of employment (or, if employed less than three years, such lesser period) and the annual remuneration he receives for such services is fifty percent or more of the annual remuneration he earned during his final three full calendar years of employment for the Related Employer. For purposes of the foregoing, the annual rate of providing services is determined based upon the measurement used to determine the service providers base compensation. An independent contractor is considered to experience a Separation of Service from the Related Employer upon the expiration of the contract (or contracts) under which services are performed for the Related Employer if the expiration constitutes a good faith and complete termination of the contractual relationship. An expiration does not constitute a good faith and complete termination of the contractual |
2-3
relationship if the Related Employer anticipates a renewal of a contractual relationship or the independent contractor becoming an employee. The Related Employer will be considered to anticipate the renewal of the contractual relationship with an independent contractor if it intends to contract again for the services provided under the expired contract and neither the Related Employer nor the independent contractor has eliminated the independent contractor as a possible provider of services under any such new contract. A Related Employer is considered to intend to contract again for the services provided under an expired contract if the Related Employers doing so is conditioned only upon incurring a need for the services, the availability of funds, or both. All determinations of whether a Separation from Service has occurred will be made in a manner consistent with Code Section 409A. | ||
2.24 | Unforeseeable Emergency means a severe financial hardship of the Participant resulting from an illness or accident of the Participant, the Participants spouse, or the Participants dependent (as defined in Code Section 152(a)); loss of the Participants property due to casualty; or other similar extraordinary and unforeseeable circumstances arising as a result of events beyond the control of the Participant. | |

Each Eligible Employee and Director may elect to defer his Compensation within the meaning of Section 3.01 of the Adoption Agreement by executing in writing or electronically, a deferral agreement in accordance with rules and procedures established by the Administrator and the provisions of this Article 4. | |
A new deferral agreement must be timely executed for each Plan Year during which the Eligible Employee or Director desires to defer Compensation. An Eligible Employee or Director who does not timely execute a deferral agreement shall be deemed to have elected zero deferrals of Compensation for such Plan Year. | ||
If an Eligible Employee or Director fails to have an executed deferral agreement in effect for a Plan Year during which an Employer contribution pursuant to Article 5 is made on his behalf, the Eligible Employee or Director will be deemed to have elected to receive a lump sum distribution upon Separation from Service. | ||
A deferral agreement may be changed or revoked during the period specified by the Administrator. Except as provided in Section 9.3 or in Section 4.01(c) of the Adoption Agreement, a deferral agreement becomes irrevocable at the close of the specified period. | ||
4.2 | Amount of Deferral. An Eligible Employee or Director may elect to defer Compensation in any amount permitted by Section 4.01(a) of the Adoption Agreement. | |

4-1
Except as otherwise provided below, an employee who is classified or designated as an Eligible Employee during a Plan Year or a Director who is designated as eligible to participate during a Plan Year may elect to defer Compensation otherwise payable during the remainder of such Plan Year in accordance with the rules of this Section 4.3 by executing a deferral agreement within the thirty (30) day period beginning on the date the employee is classified or designated as an Eligible Employee or the date the Director is designated as eligible, whichever is applicable, if permitted by Section 2.01 of the Adoption Agreement. If Compensation is based on a specified performance period that begins before the Eligible Employee or Director executes his deferral agreement, the election will be deemed to apply to the portion of such Compensation equal to the total amount of Compensation for the performance period multiplied by the ratio of the number of days remaining in the performance period after the election over the total number of days in the performance period. The rules of this paragraph shall not apply if the Eligible Employee or Director has ever participated or is participating in a Plan within the meaning of Prop. Reg. Sec. 1.409A-1(c) sponsored by the Employer. | ||
4.4 | Election of Payment Schedule and Form of Payment. | |
At the time an Eligible Employee or Director completes a deferral agreement, the Eligible Employee or Director must elect a distribution event (which includes a specified time) and a form of payment for the Compensation subject to the deferral agreement from among the options the Administrator has made available for this purpose and which are specified in 6.01(b) of the Adoption Agreement. | ||

6-1
7.1 | Investment Options. The amount in a Participants Account shall be treated as invested in the investment options designated for this purpose by the Administrator and set forth in Appendix A to the Adoption Agreement. | |

8-1

The balance or remaining balance credited to a Participants vested Account shall be paid to the Participant at the time specified in Section 6.01(a) of the Adoption Agreement in a single lump sum cash payment following the date a Participant incurs a Disability as defined in Section 2.11, unless additional forms of payment have been made available for this purpose in Section 6.01(b) of the Adoption Agreement and the Participant has made a valid election of a different form of payment. If additional forms have been made available, payment shall be made at the time specified in Section 6.01(a) of the Adoption Agreement and in the form elected by the Participant in accordance with the provisions of Article 4. The Administrator, in its sole discretion, shall determine whether a Participant has experienced a disability for purposes of this Section 8.3. |
8-2
9.1 | Amount of Benefits. The vested amount credited to a Participants Account as determined under Articles 6, 7 and 8 shall determine and constitute the basis for the value of benefits payable to the Participant under the Plan. | |
9.2 | Method and Timing of Distributions. Except as otherwise provided in this Article 9, distributions under the Plan shall be made in accordance with the elections made by the Participant under Article 4. Distributions following a payment event shall commence at the time specified in Section 6.01(a) of the Adoption Agreement. If permitted by Section 6.01(g) of the Adoption Agreement, a Participant may elect, at least twelve months before a scheduled distribution event, to delay the payment date for a minimum period of sixty months from the originally scheduled date of payment. The re-deferral election must be made in accordance with procedures and rules established by the Administrator. The Participant may, at the same time the date of payment is deferred, change the form of payment but such change in the form of payment may not effect an acceleration of payment in violation of Section 409A of the Code. For purposes of this Section 9.2, a series of installment payments is always treated as a single payment and not as a series of separate payments. | |
9.3 | Unforeseeable Emergency. A Participant may request a distribution due to an Unforeseeable Emergency if the Plan Sponsor has elected to permit Unforeseeable Emergency withdrawals under Section 8.01(a) of the Adoption Agreement. The request must be in writing and must be submitted to the Administrator along with evidence that the circumstances constitute an Unforeseeable Emergency. The Administrator has the discretion to require whatever evidence it deems necessary to determine whether a distribution is warranted. Whether a Participant has incurred an Unforeseeable Emergency will be determined by the Administrator on the basis of the relevant facts and circumstances in its sole discretion, but, in no event, will an Unforeseeable Emergency be deemed to exist if the hardship can be relieved: (a) through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise, (b) by liquidation of the Participants assets to the extent such liquidation would not itself cause severe financial hardship, or (c) by cessation of deferrals under the Plan. A distribution due to an Unforeseeable Emergency must be limited to the amount reasonably necessary to satisfy the emergency need and may include any amounts necessary to pay any federal, state or local income tax penalties reasonably anticipated to result from the distribution. The distribution will be made in the form of a single lump sum cash payment. If permitted by Section 8.01(b) of the Adoption Agreement, a Participants deferral |

elections for the remainder of the Plan Year will be cancelled upon a withdrawal due to Unforeseeable Emergency. | ||
9.4 | Termination Before Retirement. If the Plan Sponsor has elected a Separation from Service override in accordance with Section 6.01(d) of the Adoption Agreement, the following provisions apply. A Participant who experiences a Separation from Service before Retirement for any reason other than death shall receive the vested amount credited to his Account at the time specified in Section 6.01(a) of the Adoption Agreement in a single lump sum payment following such termination or cessation of service regardless of whether the Participant had made different elections of time or form of payment as to the vested amounts credited to his Account or whether the Participant was receiving installment payouts at the time of such termination. | |
9.5 | Cashouts Of Amounts Not Exceeding Stated Limit. If the vested amount credited to the Participants Account does not exceed the limit established for this purpose by the Plan Sponsor in Section 6.01(e) of the Adoption Agreement at the time he separates from service with the Employer for any reason, the Employer shall distribute such amount to the Participant at the time specified in Section 6.01(a) of the Adoption Agreement in a single lump sum cash payment following such termination regardless of whether the Participant had made different elections of time or form of payment as to the vested amount credited to his Account or whether the Participant was receiving installments at the time of such termination. A Participants Account, for purposes of this Section 9.5, shall include any amounts described in Section 1.3. | |
9.6 | Key Employees. In no event shall a distribution made to a Key Employee due to Separation from Service (or Retirement, if applicable) occur before the date which is six months after the date of his Separation from Service (or Retirement, if applicable) with the Employer. For purposes of this Section 9.6, a Key Employee means an employee of an Employer any of whose stock is publicly traded on an established securities market or otherwise who satisfies the requirements of Section 416(i)(1)(A)(i), (ii) or (iii), of the Code, determined without regard to Section 416(i)(5) of the Code, at any time during the twelve-month period ending on the Identification Date. An employee who is determined to be a Key Employee on an Identification Date shall be treated as a Key Employee for purposes of the six-month delay in distributions set forth in this Section 9.6 for the twelve-month period beginning on the first day of the fourth month following the Identification Date. Whether any stock of the Employer is traded on an established securities market or otherwise is determined on the date a Participant experiences a Separation from Service. Installment distributions to a Key Employee that are delayed due to the application of the requirements of this Section 9.6 shall commence as of the earliest |
9-2
date permitted by Code Section 409A. | ||
9.7 | Change in Control. If the Plan Sponsor has elected to permit distributions upon a Change in Control, the following provisions shall apply. A distribution made upon a Change in Control will be made at the time specified in Section 6.01(a) of the Adoption Agreement in the form elected by the Participant in accordance with the procedures described in Article 4. Alternatively, if the Plan Sponsor has elected in accordance with Section 11.02 of the Adoption Agreement to require distributions upon a Change in Control, the Participants remaining vested Account shall be paid to the Participant or the Participants Beneficiary at the time specified in Section 6.01(a) of the Adoption Agreement as a single lump sum payment. A Change in Control, for purposes of the Plan, will occur upon a change in the ownership of the Plan Sponsor, a change in the effective control of the Plan Sponsor or a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Plan Sponsor, but only if elected by the Plan Sponsor in Section 11.03 of the Adoption Agreement. The Plan Sponsor, for this purpose, includes any corporation identified in this Section 9.7. | |
If a Participant continues to make deferrals in accordance with Article 4 after he has received a distribution due to a Change in Control, the residual amount payable to the Participant shall be paid at the time and in the form specified in the elections he makes in accordance with Article 4 or upon his Death or Disability as provided in Article 8. | ||
Whether a Change in Control has occurred will be determined by the Administrator in accordance with the rules and definitions set forth in this Section 9.7. A distribution to the Participant will be treated as occurring upon a Change in Control if the Plan Sponsor terminates the Plan in accordance with Section 10.02 and distributes the Participants benefits within twelve months of a Change in Control as provided in Section 10.3. |
(a) | Relevant Corporations. To constitute a Change in Control for purposes of the Plan, the event must relate to (i) the corporation for whom the Participant is performing services at the time of the Change in Control, (ii) the corporation that is liable for the payment of the Participants benefits under the Plan (or all corporations liable if more than one corporation is liable), or (iii) a corporation that is a majority shareholder of a corporation identified in (i) or (ii), or any corporation in a chain of corporations in which each corporation is a majority corporation of another corporation in the chain, ending in a corporation identified in (i) or (ii). A majority shareholder is defined as a shareholder owning more than fifty percent (50%) of the total fair market value and voting power of such corporation. |
9-3
(b) | Stock Ownership. Code Section 318(a) applies for purposes of determining stock ownership. Stock underlying a vested option is considered owned by the individual who owns the vested option (and the stock underlying an unvested option is not considered owned by the individual who holds the unvested option). If, however, a vested option is exercisable for stock that is not substantially vested (as defined by Treasury Regulation Section 1.83-3(b) and (j)) the stock underlying the option is not treated as owned by the individual who holds the option. Mutual and cooperative corporations are treated as having stock for purposes of this Section 9.7. | ||
(c) | Change in the Ownership of a Corporation. A change in the ownership of a corporation occurs on the date that any one person or more than one person acting as a group, acquires ownership of stock of the corporation that, together with stock held by such person or group, constitutes more than fifty percent (50%) of the total fair market value or total voting power of the stock of such corporation. If any one person or more than one person acting as a proxy is considered to own more than fifty percent (50%) of the total fair market value or total voting power of the stock of a corporation, the acquisition of additional stock by the same person or persons is not considered to cause a change in the ownership of the corporation (or to cause a change in the effective control of the corporation as discussed below in Section 9.7(d)). An increase in the percentage of stock owned by any one person, or persons acting as a group, as a result of a transaction in which the corporation acquires its stock in exchange for property will be treated as an acquisition of stock. Section 9.7(c) applies only when there is a transfer of stock of a corporation (or issuance of stock of a corporation) and stock in such corporation remains outstanding after the transaction. For purposes of this Section 9.7(c), persons will not be considered to be acting as a group solely because they purchase or own stock of the same corporation at the same time or as a result of a public offering. Persons will, however, be considered to be acting as a group if they are owners of a corporation that enters into a merger, consolidation, purchase or acquisition of stock, or similar business transaction with the corporation. If a person, including an entity, owns stock in both corporations that enter into a merger, consolidation, purchase or acquisition of stock, or similar transaction, such shareholder is considered to be acting as a group with other shareholders in a corporation prior to the transaction giving rise to the change and not with respect to the ownership interest in the other corporation. | ||
(d) | Change in the effective control of a corporation. A change in the effective control of a corporation occurs on the date that either (i) any one person, or more than one person acting as a group, acquires (or |
9-4
has acquired during the twelve month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such person or persons) ownership of stock of the corporation possessing thirty-five (35%) or more of the total voting power of the stock of such corporation, or (ii) a majority of members of the corporations board of directors is replaced during any twelve month period by directors whose appointment or election is not endorsed by a majority of the members of the corporations board of directors prior to the date of the appointment or election, provided that for purposes of this paragraph (ii), the term corporation refers solely to the relevant corporation identified in Section 9.7(a) for which no other corporation is a majority shareholder for purposes of Section 9.7(a). In the absence of an event described in Section 9.7(d)(i) or (ii), a change in the effective control of a corporation will not have occurred. A change in effective control may also occur in any transaction in which either of the two corporations involved in the transaction has a change in the ownership of such corporation as described in Section 9.7(c) or a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of such corporation as described in Section 9.7(e). If any one person, or more than one person acting as a group, is considered to effectively control a corporation within the meaning of this Section 9.7(d), the acquisition of additional control of the corporation by the same person or persons is not considered to cause a change in the effective control of the corporation or to cause a change in the ownership of the corporation within the meaning of Section 9.7(c). For purposes of this Section 9.7(d), persons will or will not be considered to be acting as a group in accordance with rules similar to those set forth in Section 9.7(c) with the following exception. If a person, including an entity, owns stock in both corporations that enter into a merger, consolidation, purchase or acquisition of stock, or similar transaction, such shareholder is considered to be acting as a group with other shareholders in a corporation only with respect to the ownership in that corporation prior to the transaction giving rise to the change and not with respect to the ownership interest in the other corporation. | |||
(e) | Change in the ownership of a substantial portion of a corporations assets. A change in the ownership of a substantial portion of a corporations assets occurs on the date that any one person, or more than one person acting as a group (as determined in accordance with rules similar to those set forth in Section 9.7(d)), acquires (or has acquired during the twelve month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such person or persons) assets from the corporation that have a total gross fair market value equal to or more than forty percent (40%) of the total gross fair market value of all of the assets of the corporation immediately prior to such acquisition or acquisitions. For this purpose, gross fair market value means the value of the assets of the corporation of the |
9-5
value of the assets being disposed of determined without regard to any liabilities associated with such assets. There is no Change in Control event under this Section 9.7(e) when there is a transfer to an entity that is controlled by the shareholders of the transferring corporation immediately after the transfer. A transfer of assets by a corporation is not treated as a change in ownership of such assets if the assets are transferred to (i) a shareholder of the corporation (immediately before the asset transfer) in exchange for or with respect to its stock, (ii) an entity, fifty percent (50%) or more of the total value or voting power of which is owned, directly or indirectly, by the corporation, (iii) a person, or more than one person acting as a group, that owns, directly or indirectly, fifty percent (50%) or more of the total value or voting power of all the outstanding stock of the corporation, or (iv) an entity, at least fifty (50%) of the total value or voting power of which is owned, directly or indirectly, by a person described in Section 9.7(e)(iii). For purposes of the foregoing, and except as otherwise provided, a persons status is determined immediately after the transfer of assets. |
9.8 | Permissible Delays in Payment. Distributions may be delayed beyond the date payment would otherwise occur in accordance with the provisions of Articles 8 and 9 in any of the following circumstances. The Employer may delay payment if it reasonably anticipates that its deduction with respect to such payment would be limited or eliminated by the application of Section 162(m) of the Code. Payment must be made at the earliest date at which the Employer reasonably anticipates that the deduction of the payment amount will not be eliminated or limited by Section 162(m) of the Code or the calendar year in which the Participant Separates from Service. The Employer may also delay payment if it reasonably anticipates that the payment will violate a term of a loan agreement or other similar contract to which the Employer is a party and such violation will cause material harm to the Employer. Payment must be made at the earliest date on which the Employer reasonably anticipates that the making of the payment will not cause a violation or the violation will no longer cause material harm to the Employer. Payment cannot be delayed if the facts and circumstances indicate that the Employer entered into the loan agreement or similar contract not for legitimate business reasons but to avoid the restrictions on deferral elections and subsequent deferral elections under Section 409A of the Code. The Employer may also delay payment if it reasonably anticipates that the making of the payment will violate Federal Securities Laws or other applicable laws provided payment is made at the earliest date on which the Employer reasonably anticipates that the making of the payment will not cause such violation. The Employer reserves the right to amend the Plan to provide for a delay in payment upon such other events and conditions as the Secretary of the Treasury may prescribe in generally applicable guidance published in the |
9-6
Internal Revenue Bulletin. Once a provision permitting delay of payment is applicable to an amount of deferred compensation, the failure to apply such provision or the modification of the Plan to remove such provision will constitute an acceleration of any payment to which such provision applied. |
9-7
10.1 | Amendment by Plan Sponsor. The Plan Sponsor reserves the right to amend the Plan (for itself and each Employer) through action of its Board of Directors. No amendment can directly or indirectly deprive any current or former Participant or Beneficiary of all or any portion of his Account which had accrued prior to the amendment. | |
10.2 | Plan Termination Following Change in Control or Corporate Dissolution. If so elected by the in 11.01 of the Adoption Agreement, the Plan Sponsor reserves the right to terminate the Plan and distribute all amounts credited to all Participant Accounts within the 30 days preceding or the twelve months following a Change in Control as determined in accordance with the rules set forth in Section 9.7. For this purpose, the Plan will be treated as terminated only if all substantially similar arrangements sponsored by the Plan Sponsor are terminated so that all participants under the Plan and all similar arrangements are required to receive all amounts deferred under the terminated arrangements within twelve months of the date of termination of the arrangements. In addition, the Plan Sponsor reserves the right to terminate the Plan within twelve months of a corporate dissolution taxed under Section 331 of the Code or with the approval of a bankruptcy court pursuant to United States Code Section 503(b)(1)(A) provided that amounts deferred under the Plan are included in the gross incomes of Participants in the latest of (a) the calendar year in which the termination occurs, (b) the calendar year in which the amount is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture, or (c) the first calendar year in which payment is administratively practicable. | |
10.3 | Other Plan Terminations. The Plan Sponsor retains the discretion to terminate the Plan if (a) all arrangements sponsored by the Plan Sponsor that would be aggregated with any terminated arrangement under Prop. Reg. Section 1.409A-1(c) are terminated, (b) no payments other than payments that would be payable under the terms of the arrangements if the termination had not occurred are made within twelve months of the termination of the arrangements, (c) all payments are made within twenty-four months of the termination of the arrangements, (d) the Plan Sponsor does not adopt a new arrangement that would be aggregated with any terminated arrangement under Prop. Reg. Section 1.409A-1(c) at any time within the five year period following the date of termination of the arrangement. The Plan Sponsor also reserves the right to amend the Plan to provide that termination of the Plan will occur under such conditions and events as may be prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury in generally applicable guidance published in the Internal Revenue Bulletin. |

12-1
12.2 | Claims and Review Procedures. |
(a) | Claims Procedure. | ||
If any person believes he is being denied any rights or benefits under the Plan, such person may file a claim in writing with the Administrator. If any such claim is wholly or partially denied, the Administrator will notify such person of its decision in writing. Such notification will contain (i) specific reasons for the denial, (ii) specific reference to pertinent Plan provisions, (iii) a description of any additional material or information necessary for such person to perfect such claim and an explanation of why such material or information is necessary, and (iv) a description of the Plans review procedures and the time limits applicable to such procedures, including a statement of the persons right to bring a civil action following an adverse decision on review. Such notification will be given within 90 days after the claim is received by the Administrator (or within 180 days, if special circumstances require an extension of time for processing the claim, and if written notice of such extension and circumstances is given to such person within the initial 90-day period). If such notification is not given within such period, the claim will be considered denied as of the last day of such period and such person may request a review of his claim. | |||
(b) | Review Procedure. | ||
Within 60 days after the date on which a person receives a written notification of denial of claim (or, if written notification is not provided, within 60 days of the date denial is considered to have occurred), such person (or his duly authorized representative) may (i) file a written request with the Administrator for a review of his denied claim and of pertinent documents and (ii) submit written issues and comments to the Administrator. The Administrator will notify such person of its decision in writing. Such notification will be written in a manner calculated to be understood by such person and will contain specific reasons for the decision as well as specific references to pertinent Plan provisions. The notification will explain that the person is entitled to receive, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to and copies of all pertinent documents and has the right to bring a civil action following an adverse decision on review. The decision on review will be made within 60 days after the request for review is received by the Administrator (or within 120 days, if special circumstances require an extension of time for processing the request, such as an election by the |
12-2
Administrator to hold a hearing, and if written notice of such extension and circumstances is given to such person within the initial 60-day period). If the decision on review is not made within such period, the claim will be considered denied. |
12.3 | Plan Administrative Costs. All reasonable costs and expenses (including legal, accounting, and employee communication fees) incurred by the Administrator in administering the Plan shall be paid by Plan to the extent not paid by the Employer. |
12-3
13.1 | Unsecured General Creditor of the Employer. Participants and their Beneficiaries, heirs, successors and assigns shall have no legal or equitable rights, interests or claims in any property or assets of the Employer. For purposes of the payment of benefits under the Plan, any and all of the Employers assets shall be, and shall remain, the general, unpledged, unrestricted assets of the Employer. Each Employers obligation under the Plan shall be merely that of an unfunded and unsecured promise to pay money in the future. | |
13.2 | Employers Liability . Each Employers liability for the payment of benefits under the Plan shall be defined only by the Plan and by the deferral agreements entered into between a Participant and the Employer. An Employer shall have no obligation or liability to a Participant under the Plan except as provided by the Plan and a deferral agreement or agreements. An Employer shall have no liability to Participants employed by other Employers. | |
13.3 | Limitation of Rights . Neither the establishment of the Plan, nor any amendment thereof, nor the creation of any fund or account, nor the payment of any benefits, will be construed as giving to the Participant or any other person any legal or equitable right against the Employer, the Plan or the Administrator, except as provided herein; and in no event will the terms of employment or service of the Participant be modified or in any way affected hereby. | |
13.4 | Anti-Assignment . Except as may be necessary to fulfill a domestic relations order within the meaning of Section 414(p) of the Code, none of the benefits or rights of a Participant or any Beneficiary of a Participant shall be subject to the claim of any creditor. In particular, to the fullest extent permitted by law, all such benefits and rights shall be free from attachment, garnishment, or any other legal or equitable process available to any creditor of the Participant and his or her Beneficiary. Neither the Participant nor his or her Beneficiary shall have the right to alienate, anticipate, commute, pledge, encumber, or assign any of the payments which he or she may expect to receive, contingently or otherwise, under the Plan, except the right to designate a Beneficiary to receive death benefits provided hereunder. Notwithstanding the preceding, the benefit payable from a Participants Account may be reduced, at the discretion of the administrator, to satisfy any debt or liability to the Employer. | |
13.5 | Facility of Payment . If the Administrator determines, on the basis of medical reports or other evidence satisfactory to the Administrator, that the recipient of any benefit payments under the Plan is incapable of handling his affairs by reason of minority, illness, infirmity or other incapacity, the Administrator may |
13-1
direct the Employer to disburse such payments to a person or institution designated by a court which has jurisdiction over such recipient or a person or institution otherwise having the legal authority under State law for the care and control of such recipient. The receipt by such person or institution of any such payments therefore, and any such payment to the extent thereof, shall discharge the liability of the Employer, the Plan and the Administrative Committee for the payment of benefits hereunder to such recipient. |
13.6 |
Notices.
Any notice or other communication to the Employer or Administrator in connection with
the Plan shall be deemed delivered in writing if addressed to the Plan Sponsor at the address
specified in Section 1.03 of the Adoption Agreement and if either actually delivered at said
address or, in the case or a letter, 5 business days shall have elapsed after the same shall have
been deposited in the United States mails, first-class postage prepaid and registered or certified.
|
|
13.7 | Tax Withholding . If the Employer concludes that tax is owing with respect to any deferral or payment hereunder, the Employer shall withhold such amounts from any payments due the Participant, as permitted by law, or otherwise make appropriate arrangements with the Participant or his Beneficiary for satisfaction of such obligation. Tax, for purposes of this Section 13.7 means any federal, state, local or any other governmental income tax, employment or payroll tax, excise tax, or any other tax or assessment owing with respect to amounts deferred, any earnings thereon, and any payments made to Participants under the Plan. | |
13.8 | Indemnification . Each Employer shall indemnify and hold harmless each employee, officer, or director of an Employer to whom is delegated duties, responsibilities, and authority with respect to the Plan against all claims, liabilities, fines and penalties, and all expenses reasonably incurred by or imposed upon him (including but not limited to reasonable attorney fees) which arise as a result of his actions or failure to act in connection with the operation and administration of the Plan to the extent lawfully allowable and to the extent that such claim, liability, fine, penalty, or expense is not paid for by liability insurance purchased or paid for by an Employer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Employer shall not indemnify any person for any such amount incurred through any settlement or compromise of any action unless the Employer consents in writing to such settlement or compromise. Indemnification under this Section 13.8 shall not be applicable to any person if the cost, loss, liability, or expense is due to the persons gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct or if the person refuses to assist in the defense of the claim against him. |
13-2
13.9 | Permitted Acceleration of Payment . The Plan may permit acceleration of the time or schedule of any payment or amount scheduled to be paid pursuant to a payment under the Plan as provided in Section 10.2 or 10.3 and this Section 13.9. The Plan may permit acceleration of payment (a) to an individual other than the Participant as may be necessary to fulfill a domestic relations order within the meaning of Section 414(p)(1)(B) of the Code, (b) to comply with a certificate of divestiture as defined in Section 1043(b)(2) of the Code, (c) to pay the Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) tax imposed under Sections 3101, 3121(a) and 3121(v)(2) of the Code on compensation deferred under the Plan, (d) to pay the income tax under Section 3401 of the Code or the corresponding withholding provisions of the applicable state, local or foreign tax laws as a result of the payment of any FICA tax described in (c) and to pay the additional income tax at source on wages attributable to the pyramiding Section 3401 of the Code, wages and taxes, and (e) to pay the amount required to be included in gross income as a result of the failure of the Plan to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. The total payment under (c) or (d) shall, in no event, exceed the aggregate of the FICA tax and the income tax withholding related to such FICA tax. The total payment under (e) shall, in no event, exceed the amount required to be included in income as a result of the failure to comply with requirements of Section 409A of the Code. | |
13.10 | Governing Law . The Plan will be construed, administered and enforced according to the laws of the State specified by the Plan Sponsor in Section 12.01 of the Adoption Agreement. |
