Changes to Excess Retirement Plans
On December 14, 2007, the Compensation Committees of the Board of Directors of NACCO
Industries, Inc. (NACCO) or its subsidiaries, as applicable, adopted amendments and restatements
of the following plans (referred to as the Current Excess Retirement Plans):
|
|
|
The NACCO Compensation Committee adopted (i) the Retirement Benefit Plan for
Alfred M. Rankin, Jr. (As Amended and Restated as of December 1, 2007) and (ii) the
NACCO Industries, Inc. Unfunded Benefit Plan (As Amended and Restated Effective as of
December 1, 2007).
|
|
|
|
|
The Compensation Committee of Hamilton Beach Brands, Inc. (HBB), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of NACCO, adopted the Hamilton Beach Brands, Inc. Unfunded Benefit Plan
(As Amended and Restated Effective as of December 1, 2007).
|
|
|
|
|
The Compensation Committee of NACCO Materials Handling Group, Inc. (NMHG), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of NACCO, adopted the NACCO Materials Handling Group, Inc.
Unfunded Benefit Plan (As Amended and Restated Effective as of December 1, 2007).
|
|
|
|
|
The Compensation Committee of The Kitchen Collection, Inc. (KCI), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of NACCO, adopted The Kitchen Collection, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan
for Management Employees (As Amended and Restated Effective as of December 1, 2007).
|
|
|
|
|
The Compensation Committee of The North American Coal Corporation (NA Coal), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of NACCO, adopted The North American Coal Corporation
Deferred Compensation Plan for Management Employees (As Amended and Restated as of
December 1, 2007).
|
HBB, NMHG, NA Coal, KCI (collectively, the Subsidiaries) and NACCO have determined that it
is in the best interests of each respective company to change the structure of its deferred
compensation plans. As such, the amendments to the Current Excess Retirement Plans freeze all
benefits as of December 31, 2007. In addition to making other substantive, administrative and
technical changes, the amendments also make the following changes:
|
|
|
For NACCO, HBB and NA Coal, the account balances of all participants (other than
the four current and one potential named executive officers of the NACCO controlled
group (the NEOs)) will be paid during the period from January 1, 2008 through April
30, 2008.
|
|
|
|
|
NMHG will pay out the account balances for all active participants (other than the
NEOs) during the period from January 1, 2008 through April 30, 2008 and pay out the
account balances for all terminated participants during the first quarter of 2009.
|
|
|
|
|
KCI will pay out the account balances for all participants other than the
President of KCI and one-half of the account balance of the President of KCI during
the period from January 1, 2008 through April 30, 2008 and pay out the remainder
during the first quarter of 2009.
|
2
|
|
|
The benefits of the NEOs under the Current Excess Retirement Plans will be paid as
follows:
|
|
|
|
|
The frozen account balances will be paid in a single lump sum payment
at the earlier of a change in control occurring on or after January 1, 2008 (as
defined in Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code and the plan documents) or a
termination of employment, subject to any delay required under Section 409A of the
Internal Revenue Code.
|
|
|
|
|
The frozen account balances of the designated NEOs will continue to be
credited with interest at the rate(s) described in the plans.
|
|
|
|
|
The interest that is credited to the frozen accounts of the NEOs each
year will be paid out, in annual lump sum payments, no later than March 15th of the
following year. To partially compensate the employees for the immediate taxation
of the payments and the loss of future deferral opportunity, the interest payment
amounts will be increased by 15%.
|
On December 14, 2007, the Compensation Committees of NACCO and the Subsidiaries also adopted
successor plans (referred to as the New Excess Retirement Plans):
|
|
|
The NACCO Compensation Committee adopted the NACCO Industries, Inc. Excess
Retirement Plan (Effective January 1, 2008).
|
|
|
|
|
The HBB Compensation Committee adopted the Hamilton Beach Brands, Inc. Excess
Retirement Plan (Effective January 1, 2008).
|
|
|
|
|
The NMHG Compensation Committee adopted the NACCO Materials Handling Group, Inc.
Excess Retirement Plan (Effective January 1, 2008).
|
|
|
|
|
The KCI Compensation Committee adopted The Kitchen Collection, LLC Excess
Retirement Plan (Effective January 1, 2008).
|
|
|
|
|
The NA Coal Compensation Committee adopted The North American Coal Corporation
Excess Retirement Plan (Effective January 1, 2008).
|
The New Excess Retirement Plans provide the employees with the same excess retirement benefits
that had been provided under the Current Excess Retirement Plans. In general, these benefits are
the defined contribution retirement benefits that the employees would have received under the
qualified defined contribution retirement plans sponsored by NACCO and the Subsidiaries if such
plans did not contain various Internal Revenue Code limitations on the benefits that are provided
to highly compensated employees. For example, excess 401(k) benefits, excess matching benefits and
excess profit sharing benefits.
The main differences between the Current Excess Retirement Plans and the New Excess Retirement
Plans are:
|
|
|
Instead of allowing the participants to elect a time and form of payment of these
benefits, the plans will automatically pay out all benefits that are accrued each in
a single lump sum no later than March 15
th
of the following year (in order
to take advantage of an exception to Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code).
|
3
|
|
|
To partially compensate the employees for the immediate taxation of the payments
and the loss of future deferral opportunity, payments of the excess matching or
similar benefits, excess profit sharing benefits and the matched portion of the
excess 401(k) benefits will be increased by 15%.
|
Also on December 14, 2007, the NACCO Benefits Committee approved, and NA Coal adopted, an
amendment and restatement of The North American Coal Corporation Supplemental Retirement Benefit
Plan (As Amended and Restated as of January 1, 2008) (the SERP). In addition to making other
substantive, administrative and technical changes, the amendment to the SERP made the following
changes:
|
|
|
It brought the plan into compliance with the requirements of final regulations
issued under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code; and
|
|
|
|
|
It added certain cost-of-living increases to the frozen pension benefits of
certain employees that were previously provided under the qualified pension plan but
that could no longer be provided under the qualified plan effective January 1, 2008
as a result of Internal Revenue Code non-discrimination requirements.
|
Changes to Subsidiary Long-Term Incentive Compensation Arrangements
Also on December 14, 2007, the Compensation Committees of HBB, NMHG and KCI adopted amendments
and restatements of the following plans (referred to as the LTIPs):
|
|
|
The HBB Compensation Committee authorized the merger of the Hamilton Beach Brands,
Inc. Senior Executive Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan into the Hamilton Beach
Brands, Inc. Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan and adopted the Hamilton Beach
Brands, Inc. Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan For the Period From January 1,
2003 through December 31, 2007 (As Amended and Restated as of December 1, 2007).
|
|
|
|
|
The NMHG Compensation Committee authorized the merger of the NACCO Materials
Handling Group, Inc. Senior Executive Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan into the
NACCO Materials Handling Group, Inc. Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan and
adopted the NACCO Materials Handling Group, Inc. Long-Term Incentive Compensation
Plan For The Period From January 1, 2000 Through December 31, 2007 (As Amended and
Restated as of December 1, 2007).
|
|
|
|
|
The KCI Compensation Committee adopted The Kitchen Collection, Inc. Long-Term
Incentive Compensation Plan For The Period From January 1, 2003 Through December 31,
2007 (As Amended and Restated Effective as of December 1, 2007).
|
HBB, NMHG and KCI have determined that it is in the best interests of each respective company
to change the structure of its LTIP. As such, the amendments to the LTIPs freeze all benefits as
of December 31, 2007. In addition to making other substantive, administrative and technical
changes, the amendments also make the following changes:
|
|
|
All deferral elections under the LTIPs are eliminated.
|
4
|
|
|
LTIP awards with pre-2006 grant dates for all participants (other than the NEO at
HBB) will be paid during the period from January 1, 2008 through March 31, 2008 using
the December 31, 2007 book value of the applicable subsidiary.
|
|
|
|
|
The LTIP awards with grant dates of January 1, 2006, January 1, 2007 and January
1, 2008 will be converted to cash sub-account balances using the December 31, 2007
book value of the applicable subsidiary. These sub-accounts will be credited with
interest at the rate(s) described in the plans.
|
|
|
|
|
The payment dates for the January 1, 2006, January 1, 2007 and January 1, 2008
LTIP awards are being changed. All awards will continue to be paid at the earliest
of death, disability, retirement or the specified maturity date. For all
participants other than the NEO at HBB, the specified maturity date has been changed
from the 5
th
anniversary of the grant date to the 3
rd
anniversary of the grant date. For the NEO at HBB, the specified maturity dates
remain as the 5
th
anniversary of the grant date. In addition, all awards
will also be paid in the event of a change in control occurring on or after January
1, 2008 (as defined in Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code and the plan
documents).
|
On December 14, 2007, the NA Coal Compensation Committee also adopted (i) The North American
Coal Corporation Value Appreciation Plan For Years 2000 to 2009 (As Amended and Restated Effective
as of December 1, 2007) (VAP II) and (ii) The North American Coal Corporation Value Appreciation
Plan For Years 2006 to 2015 (As Amended and Restated Effective January 1, 2008) (VAP III).
In addition to making other substantive, administrative and technical changes, the amendments
also make the following changes:
|
|
|
VAP II is terminated effective December 31, 2007 and all VAP II account balances
will be paid out during the period from January 1, 2008 through April 30, 2008.
|
|
|
|
|
VAP III is amended to (i) include technical changes required to comply with final
Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code regulations relating to the timing of
payments and (ii) provide for immediate vesting and payment in the event of a change
in control.
|
The New Excess Retirement Plans and the restatements of the Current Excess Retirement Plans,
the SERP, the LTIPs, VAP II and VAP III are attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibits

Exhibit 10.1
RETIREMENT BENEFIT PLAN
FOR ALFRED M. RANKIN, JR.
(As Amended and Restated as of December 1, 2007)
WHEREAS, NACCO Industries, Inc. (the Employer) originally adopted the Retirement Benefit
Plan for Alfred M. Rankin Jr. (the Plan) effective as of March 1, 1989 and amended and restated
the Plan several times since its inception; and
WHEREAS, Mr. Rankin and the Employer desire to amend and restate the Plan in order to (i)
incorporate all prior amendments; (ii) bring the Plan into compliance with the requirements of the
final regulations that were issued under Code Section 409A; (iii) freeze all Supplemental Benefits
hereunder; and (iv) change the payment terms as permitted under the Code Section 409A transitional
rules.
NOW THEREFORE, the Employer hereby adopts and publishes this amendment and restatement of the
Plan, which shall contain the following terms and conditions:
ARTICLE I
PREFACE
SECTION
1.1.
Effective Date and Plan Year.
The Plan is amended and restated as of
December 1, 2007. The Plan Year of the Plan is the calendar year.
SECTION 1.2.
Purpose of the Plan
. For periods prior to January 1, 2008, the purpose
of the Plan was to provide Supplemental Benefits to the Participant. All Supplemental Benefits
under the Plan (other than earnings) shall be frozen as of December 31, 2007.
SECTION 1.3.
Governing Law.
The Plan shall be regulated, construed and administered
under the laws of the State of Ohio, except when preempted by federal law.
SECTION 1.4.
Severability
. If any provision of the Plan or the application thereof to
any circumstances(s) or person(s) is held to be invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the
remainder of the Plan and the application of such provision to other circumstances or persons shall
not be affected thereby.
SECTION 1.5.
Application of Code Section 409A
.
(a) As a result of the changes to the payment provisions of the Plan in accordance with the
Code Section 409A transitional rules, none of the Supplemental Benefits are grandfathered under
Code Section 409A. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for administrative and recordkeeping purposes,
(i) the sum of (1) the Participants Supplemental Profit Sharing Contributions (plus earnings) that
were credited to his Account for Plan Years prior to 2005 (including the Opening Account Balance
and the vested amount that was credited to his Account in 2005 for the 2004 Plan Year) and (2) the
Transitional Benefits (plus earnings) that were credited to his Account on or before December 31,
2004 were credited to the Pre-2005 Sub-Accounts under the Plan and (ii) all other amounts were
credited to the Post-2004 Sub-Accounts under the Plan.
(b) It is intended that the compensation arrangements under the Plan be in full compliance
with the requirements of Code Section 409A. The Plan shall be interpreted and administered in a
manner to give effect to such intent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company does not
guarantee to any Participant or Beneficiary any particular tax result with respect to any amounts
deferred or any payments provided hereunder, including tax treatment under Code Section 409A.
ARTICLE II
DEFINITIONS
SECTION 2.1.
The following words and phrases when used in the Plan with initial
capital letters shall have the following respective meanings, unless the context clearly indicates
otherwise.
SECTION 2.1(1).
Account
shall mean the record maintained in accordance with
Section 3.3 by the Employer for the Participants Supplemental Benefit. The Participants Account
shall be further divided into the Pre-2005 Sub-Account and the Post-2004 Sub-Account as
described in Section 1.5 hereof.
SECTION 2.1(2).
Beneficiary
shall mean the person or persons (natural or
otherwise) as may be designated by the Participant as his Beneficiary under the Plan. Such a
designation may be made, and may be revoked or changed (without the consent of any previously
designated Beneficiary), only by an instrument (in form acceptable to the Employer) signed by the
Participant and filed with the Employer prior to the Participants death. In the absence of such a
designation and at any other time when there is no existing Beneficiary designated by the
Participant to whom payment is to be made pursuant to his designation, his Beneficiary shall be his
surviving legal spouse or, if none, his estate. A person designated by a Participant as his
Beneficiary who or which ceases to exist shall not be entitled to any part of any payment
thereafter to be made to the Participants Beneficiary unless the Participants designation
specifically provided to the contrary. If two or more persons designated as a Participants
Beneficiary are in existence, the amount of any payment to the Beneficiary under the Plan shall be
divided equally among such persons unless the Participants designation specifically provided to
the contrary.
SECTION 2.1(3).
Change in Control

calendar year in which the funds of the Employer are sufficient to make the payment without
jeopardizing the going concern status of the Employer.
(b)
Delayed Payments For Key Employees

the contrary, distributions to the Participant that are made on account of a Termination of

with federal, state, local or foreign ethics or conflicts of interest laws or agreements or (ii) to
the extent necessary to pay the FICA taxes imposed on benefits hereunder under Code Section 3101,
and the income withholding taxes related thereto. Payments may also be accelerated if the Plan (or

|
|

401(k) Benefit by a fraction, the numerator of which is the lesser of the percentage of
Compensation elected to be deferred in the deferral election form for such Plan Year or
7% and the denominator of which is the percentage of Compensation elected to be
deferred; and
|
|
|
2)
|

each Excess 401(k) Benefit by a fraction, the numerator of which is the excess (if any)
of the percentage of Compensation elected to be deferred in the deferral election form
for such Plan Year over 7%, and the denominator of which is the percentage of
Compensation elected to be deferred.

401(k)(3) and 401(m) of the Code or as a result of his deferral of Compensation hereunder (the

ending prior to the date the Participant terminated employment, as calculated by the Company. For
any subsequent month following termination, such ROTCE calculation shall not apply. The Fixed

(b)
Sub-Accounts of Covered Employee
. Except as otherwise described in the Plan, at
the end of each calendar month during Plan Years commencing on or after January 1, 2008, the

blended rate earning during such month by the Fixed Income Fund. Notwithstanding the foregoing:
(i) No earnings shall be credited for the month in which the Participant receives the
distribution of the principle amount of his Sub-Accounts.
(ii) In the event that the ROTCE Table Rate determined for such Plan Year exceeds the
Fixed Income Fund rate credited to the Sub-Accounts, the Basic Excess 401(k) Sub-Account and
Excess Matching Sub-Account of such Participant shall retroactively be credited with the
difference between (1) the Fixed Income Fund rate and (2) the amount determined by
multiplying the average balance of such Sub-Accounts during each month of such Plan Year by
the ROTCE Table Rate determined for such Plan Year, compounded monthly. In the event of a
Participants Termination of Employment during a Plan Year, the ROTCE Table Rate calculation
described in the preceding sentence shall be made during the month in which the Participant
incurs a Termination of Employment and shall be based on the year-to-date ROTCE Table Rate
for the month ending prior to the date of Termination, as calculated by the Company.

Administration
. The Plan shall be administered by the Plan
Administrator. The Plan Administrator shall have discretion to interpret where necessary all
provisions of the Plan (including, without limitation, by supplying omissions from, correcting
deficiencies in, or resolving inconsistencies or ambiguities in, the language of the Plan), to make
factual findings with respect to any issue arising under the Plan, to determine the rights and
status under the Plan of Participants or other persons, to resolve questions (including factual
questions) or disputes arising under the Plan and to make any determinations with respect to the
benefits payable under the Plan and the persons entitled thereto as may be necessary for the
purposes of the Plan. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Plan Administrator is
hereby granted the authority (i) to determine whether a particular employee is a Participant and
(ii) to determine if a person is entitled to Benefits hereunder and, if so, the amount and duration
of such Benefits. The Plan Administrators determination of the rights of any person hereunder
shall be final and binding on all persons, subject only to the provisions of Sections 10.03 and
10.04 hereof. The Plan Administrator may delegate any of its administrative duties, including,
without limitation, duties with respect to the processing, review, investigation, approval and
payment of Benefits, to a named administrator or administrators.
Section 10.02
Regulations
. The Plan Administrator shall promulgate any rules and
regulations it deems necessary in order to carry out the purposes of the Plan or to interpret the
provisions of the Plan; provided, however, that no rule, regulation or interpretation shall be
contrary to the provisions of the Plan. The rules, regulations and interpretations made by the
Plan Administrator shall, subject only to the provisions of Sections 10.03 and 10.04 hereof, be
final and binding on all persons.
Section 10.03
Claims Procedures
. The Plan Administrator shall determine the rights of
a person to any Benefits hereunder. Any person who believes that he has not received the Benefits
to which he is entitled under the Plan may file a claim in writing with the Plan Administrator.
The Plan Administrator shall, no later than 90 days after the receipt of a claim (plus an
additional period of 90 days if required for processing, provided that notice of the extension of
time is given to the claimant within the first 90 day period), either allow or deny the claim in
writing. A denial of a claim by the Plan Administrator, wholly or partially, shall be written in a
manner calculated to be understood by the claimant and shall include: (a) the specific reasons for
the denial; (b) specific reference to pertinent Plan provisions on which the denial is based; (c) 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; and (d) an explanation
of the claim review procedure and the time limits applicable thereto (including a statement of the
claimants right to bring a civil action under Section 502(a)of ERISA following an adverse benefit
determination on review). A claimant whose claim is denied (or his duly authorized representative)
who wants to contest that decision must file with the Plan Administrator a written request for a
review of such claim within 60 days after receipt of denial of a claim. If the claimant does not
file a request for review of his claim within such 60-day period, the claimant shall be deemed to
have acquiesced in the original decision of the Plan Administrator on his claim. If such an appeal
is so filed within such 60 day period, the Compensation Committee (or its delegate) shall conduct a
full and fair review of such claim. During such review, the claimant

the Cash Balance Account balance that would be payable to such Participant under the Cash Balance
Plan as of December 31, 2007 if such Plan did not contain the limitations imposed under Sections

Excess Cash Balance Sub-Account). The Excess Pension Benefits (other than interest credits)
under the Plan were frozen as of January 1, 1997 and all Excess Pension Benefits (including
interest credits) under the Plan were frozen as of December 31, 2007.
SECTION
3.2
Excess Profit Sharing Benefits
. The Company shall credit to a
Sub-Account (the Excess Profit Sharing Sub-Account) established for each Participant who is a
Profit Sharing Employee, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (a) the amount of the Companys
Post-1996 Profit Sharing Contribution which would have been made to the profit sharing portion of

imposed under Sections 401(a)(17) and 415 of the Code and (ii) the term Compensation (as defined
in Section 2.7 hereof) were used for purposes of determining the amount of profit sharing
contributions under the Savings Plan,

such Plan Year (the Excess Profit Sharing Benefits). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the last
Excess Profit Sharing Benefits that are credited to the Excess Profit Sharing Sub-Accounts shall be

SECTION
3.3
Basic and Additional Excess 401(k) Benefits
.
(a)
Amount of Excess 401(k) Benefits
. Each 401(k) Employee who is a Participant, may,
prior to the first day of any Plan Year prior to 2008, by completing an approved deferral election
form, direct the Company to reduce his Compensation for such Plan Year by the difference between
(i) a specified percentage, in 1% increments, with a maximum of 25%, of his Compensation for the
Plan Year, and (ii) the maximum Before-Tax Contributions actually permitted to be contributed for
him to the Savings Plan for such Plan Year by reason of the application of the limitations imposed
under Sections 402(g), 401(a)(17) and 401(k)(3) of the Code (which amounts shall be referred to as
the Excess 401(k) Benefits). Notwithstanding the
6
foregoing, no additional Excess 401(k) Benefits shall be credited to the Excess 401(k)
Sub-Accounts after December 31, 2007.
(b)
Classification of Excess 401(k) Benefits.
The Excess 401(k) Benefits for a
particular Plan Year shall be calculated monthly and shall be further divided into the Basic
Excess 401(k) Benefits and the Additional Excess 401(k) Benefits as follows:
(i) The Basic Excess 401(k) Benefits shall be determined by multiplying each Excess
401(k) Benefit by a fraction, the numerator of which is the lesser of the percentage of
Compensation elected to be deferred in the deferral election form for such Plan Year or 7%
and the denominator of which is the percentage of Compensation elected to be deferred; and
(ii) The Additional Excess 401(k) Benefits (if any) shall be determined by multiplying
such Excess 401(k) Benefit by a fraction, the numerator of which is the excess (if any) of
(1) the percentage of Compensation elected to be deferred in the deferral election form for
such Plan Year over (2) 7%, and the denominator of which is the percentage of Compensation
elected to be deferred.
The Basic Excess 401(k) Benefits shall be credited to the Basic Excess 401(k) Sub-Account under
this Plan and the Additional Excess 401(k) Benefits shall be credited to the Additional Excess
401(k) Sub-Account hereunder. The Basic and Additional Excess 401(k) Sub-Accounts shall be
referred to collectively as the Excess 401(k) Sub-Account.
(c)
Consequences of Deferral Election
. Any direction by a Participant to defer
Compensation under Subsection (a) shall be effective with respect to Compensation otherwise payable
to the Participant during the Plan Year for which the deferral election form is in effect, and the
Participant shall not be eligible to receive such Compensation. Instead, such amounts shall be
credited to the Participants Basic and Additional Excess 401(k) Sub-Accounts (as applicable). Any
such direction shall be irrevocable with respect to Compensation earned for such Plan Year, but
shall have no effect on Compensation that is earned in subsequent Plan Years. A new deferral
election will be required for each Plan Year; provided, however, that no new deferral elections
shall be permitted under the Plan for Plan Years beginning on or after January 1, 2008.
SECTION
3.4
Excess Matching Benefits
. For periods prior to January 1, 2005, the
Excess Matching Sub-Accounts of 401(k) Employees were credited with an amount equal to the
Post-1994 Matching Employer Contributions attributable to the Basic Excess 401(k) Benefits that he
was prevented from receiving under the Savings Plan because of the limitations imposed under Code
Sections 402(g), 401(a)(17), 401(k)(3) and 401(m) (collectively, the Excess Matching Benefits).
.
SECTION
3.5
Employer Added Benefits

. The Plan shall be administered

correcting deficiencies in, or resolving inconsistencies or ambiguities in, the language of the
Plan), to make factual findings with respect to any issue arising under the Plan, to determine the
rights and status under the Plan of Participants, or other persons, to resolve questions (including
factual questions) or disputes arising under the Plan and to make any determinations with respect
to the benefits payable under the Plan and the persons entitled thereto as may be necessary for the
purposes of the Plan. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Plan Administrator is
hereby granted the authority (i) to determine whether a particular Employee is a Participant, and
(ii) to determine if a person is entitled to Excess Retirement Benefits hereunder and, if so, the
amount and duration of such Benefits. The Plan Administrators determination of the rights of any
person hereunder shall be final and binding on all persons, subject only to the provisions of
Sections 9.3 and 9.4 hereof.
14
(b)

review, investigation, approval and payment of Excess Retirement Benefits, to a named administrator
or administrators.
SECTION
9.2
Regulations
. The Plan Administrator shall promulgate any rules and
regulations it deems necessary in order to carry out the purposes of the Plan or to interpret the
provisions of the Plan; provided, however, that no rule, regulation or interpretation shall be
contrary to the provisions of the Plan. The rules, regulations and interpretations made by the
Plan Administrator shall, subject only to the provisions of Sections 9.3 and 9.4 hereof, be final
and binding on all persons.
SECTION
9.3
Claims Procedures
. The Plan Administrator shall determine the rights of
any person to any Excess Retirement Benefits hereunder. Any person who believes that he has not
received the Excess Retirement Benefits to which he is entitled under the Plan must file a claim in
writing with the Plan Administrator. The Plan Administrator shall, no later than 90 days after the
receipt of a claim (plus an additional period of 90 days if required for processing, provided that
notice of the extension of time is given to the claimant within the first 90 day period), either
allow or deny the claim in writing.
A written denial of a claim by the Plan Administrator, wholly or partially, shall be written
in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant and shall include:
|
(a)
|
|
the specific reasons for the denial;
|
|
|
(b)
|
|
specific reference to pertinent Plan provisions on which the
denial is based;
|
|
|
(c)
|
|
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; and
|
|
|
(d)
|
|
an explanation of the claim review procedure and the time
limits applicable thereto (including a statement of the claimants right to
bring a civil action under Section 502(a) of ERISA following an adverse benefit
determination on review).
|
A claimant whose claim is denied (or his duly authorized representative) may within 60 days
after receipt of denial of a claim file with the Plan Administrator a written request for a review
of such claim. If the claimant does not file a request for review of his claim within such 60-day
period, the claimant shall be deemed to have acquiesced in the original decision of the Plan
Administrator on his claim. If such an appeal is so filed within such 60 day period, the
Compensation Committee shall conduct a full and fair review of such claim. During such review, the
claimant shall be given the opportunity to review documents that are pertinent to his claim and to
submit issues and comments in writing. For this purpose, the Compensation Committee shall have the
same power to interpret the Plan and make findings of fact thereunder as is given to the Plan
Administrator under Section 9.1(a) above.
15
The Compensation Committee shall mail or deliver to the claimant a written decision on the
matter based on the facts and the pertinent provisions of the Plan within 60 days after the receipt
of the request for review (unless special circumstances require an extension of up to 60 additional
days, in which case written notice of such extension shall be given to the claimant prior to the
commencement of such extension). Such decision shall be written in a manner calculated to be
understood by the claimant, shall state the specific reasons for the decision and the specific Plan
provisions on which the decision was based and shall, to the extent permitted by law, be final and
binding on all interested persons. In addition, the notice of adverse determination shall also
include statements that the claimant is entitled to receive, upon request and free of charge,
reasonable access to, and copies of all documents, records and other information relevant to the
claimants claim for benefits and a statement of the claimants right to bring a civil action under
Section 502(a) of ERISA.

Administrator, the Company or the Compensation Committee with respect to the rights or benefits
under the Plan of any person shall be revocable as to payments not yet made to such person, and
acceptance of any Excess Retirement Benefits under the Plan constitutes acceptance of and agreement
to the Plan Administrators, the Companys or the Compensation Committees making any appropriate
adjustments in future payments to such person (or to recover from such person) any excess payment
or underpayment previously made to him.
SECTION
9.5
Amendment
. The Company (with the approval or ratification of the
Compensation Committee) may at any time amend any or all of the provisions of this Plan, except
that, without the prior written consent of the affected Participant, no such amendment (a) may
reduce the amount of any Participants Excess Retirement Benefit as of the date of such amendment,
(b) may suspend the crediting of earnings on the balance of a Participants Account, until the last

this Plan at any time and for any reason whatsoever, except that, without the prior written consent
of the affected Covered Employee, no such termination may violate any of the protections described
in Section 9.5 hereof. Any such termination shall be expressed in the form of a written instrument

Benefit by a fraction, the numerator of which is the lesser of the percentage of Compensation
elected to be deferred in the deferral election form for such Plan Year or 7% and the denominator
of which is the percentage of Compensation elected to be deferred; and
(ii) The Additional Excess 401(k) Benefits (if any) shall be determined by multiplying each

percentage of Compensation elected to be deferred in the deferral election form for such Plan Year
over (2) 7%, and the denominator of which is the percentage of Compensation elected to be deferred.
The Basic Excess 401(k) Benefits shall be credited to the Basic Excess 401(k) Sub-Account

credited with the excess (if any) of (i) the amount determined under the preceding sentence over
(ii) the amount determined by multiplying the Participants Sub-Account balance during each month
of such Plan Year by the ROTCE Table Rate determined for such Plan Year, compounded monthly. This
ROTCE Table Rate calculation shall be made during the month in which the Participant incurs a
Termination of Employment and shall be based on the year-to-date ROTCE Table Rate for the month
ending prior to the date the Participant incurred a Termination of Employment, as calculated by the
Company. For any subsequent month following such Termination, such ROTCE calculation shall not

|
(a)
|
|
Payments Violating Applicable Law.
Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan
to the contrary, the payment of all or any portion of the amounts payable hereunder will be
deferred to the extent that the Company reasonably anticipates that the making of such
payment would violate Federal securities laws or other applicable law (provided that the
making of a payment that would cause income taxes or penalties under the Code shall not be
treated as a violation of applicable law). The deferred amount shall become payable at the
earliest date at which the Company reasonably anticipates that making the payment will not
cause such violation.
|
|
|
(b)
|

Delayed Payments due to Solvency Issues
. Notwithstanding any provision of the
Plan to the contrary (but except as otherwise provided in Article XI), an Employer shall
not be
|
11
|
|
|
required to make any payment hereunder to any Participant or Beneficiary if the making of
the payment would jeopardize the ability of the Employer to continue as a going concern;
provided that any missed payment is made during the first calendar year in which the funds
of the Employer are sufficient to make the payment without jeopardizing the going concern
status of the Employer.
|
|
(c)
|
|
Key Employees
. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary,
distributions to Key Employees made on account of a Termination of Employment may not be
made before the 1
st
day of the seventh month following such Termination of
Employment (or, if earlier, the date of death) except for payments made on account of (i) a
QDRO (as specified in Section 9.5), (ii) a conflict of interest or (iii) the payment of
FICA taxes (as specified in Subsection (e) below). Any amounts that are otherwise payable

Acceleration of Payments
. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the
contrary, to the extent permitted under Code Section 409A and the Treasury Regulations
issued thereunder, payments of Post-2004 Sub-Accounts hereunder may be accelerated (i) to
the extent necessary to comply with federal, state, local or foreign ethics or conflicts of
interest laws or agreements or (ii) to the extent necessary to pay the FICA taxes imposed
on benefits hereunder under Code Section 3101, and the income withholding taxes related
thereto. Payments may also be accelerated if the Plan (or a portion thereof) fails to
satisfy the requirements of Code Section 409A; provided that the amount of such payment may
not exceed the amount required to be included as income as a result of the failure to
comply with Code Section 409A.
|
ARTICLE VIII BENEFICIARIES
Section 8.1.
Beneficiary Designations
. A designation of a Beneficiary
hereunder may be made only by an instrument (in form acceptable to the Plan Administrator) signed
by the Participant and filed with the Plan Administrator prior to the Participants death.
Separate Beneficiary designations may be made for each Sub-Account under the Plan (provided that a
single Beneficiary must be designated for both the Excess 401(k) Sub-Account and the corresponding
Excess Matching Sub-Account). In the absence of such a designation and at any other time when
there is no existing Beneficiary designated hereunder, (a) the Beneficiary of a Participant for his
Excess 401(k) Benefits, his Excess Matching Benefits and his Excess Profit Sharing Benefits shall
be his beneficiary under the Profit Sharing Plan, and (b) the Beneficiary of a Participant for his
Excess Deferral Benefits his LTIP Deferral Benefits and his Yale Short-Term Benefits shall be his
surviving legal spouse or, if none, his estate. A person designated by a Participant as his
Beneficiary who or which ceases to exist shall not be entitled to any part of any payment
thereafter to be made to the Participants Beneficiary unless the Participants designation
specifically provided to the contrary. If two or more persons designated as a
12
Participants Beneficiary are in existence with respect to a single Sub-Account, the amount of
any payment to the Beneficiary under this Plan shall be divided equally among such persons unless
the Participants designation specifically provides for a different allocation.
Section 8.2.
Change in Beneficiary.
Anything herein or in the Profit Sharing
Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, a Participant may, at any time and from time to time, change
a Beneficiary designation hereunder without the consent of any existing Beneficiary or any other
person. A change in Beneficiary hereunder may be made regardless of whether such a change is also
made under the Profit Sharing Plan. In other words, the Beneficiary hereunder need not be the same
as under the Profit Sharing Plan. Any change in Beneficiary shall be made by giving written notice
thereof to the Employer or Plan Administrator and any change shall be effective only if received
prior to the death of the Participant.
Section 8.3.
Distributions to Beneficiaries
.
(a)
Amount of Benefits
. Excess Retirement Benefits payable to a Participants
Beneficiary under this Plan shall be equal to the balance in the applicable Sub-Account of such
Participant on the Valuation Date preceding the date of the distribution of the Sub-Account to the
Beneficiary.
(b)
Time of Payment
. Excess Retirement Benefits that are credited to the Account of a
Participant as of his date of death shall be payable to the Participants Beneficiary in accordance
with the rules described in Article VII.
(c)
Form of Payment
. All Benefits payable to a Beneficiary hereunder shall be paid in
the form of a lump sum payment.
ARTICLE IX MISCELLANEOUS
Section 9.1.
Liability of Employers
. Nothing in this Plan shall constitute
the creation of a trust or other fiduciary relationship between an Employer and any Participant,
Beneficiary or any other person.
Section 9.2.
Limitation on Rights of Participants and Beneficiaries No
Lien
. This Plan is designed to be an unfunded, nonqualified plan. Nothing contained herein
shall be deemed to create a trust or lien in favor of any Participant or Beneficiary on any assets
of an Employer. The Employers shall have no obligation to purchase any assets that do not remain
subject to the claims of the creditors of the Employers for use in connection with the Plan. No
Participant or Beneficiary or any other person shall have any preferred claim on, or any beneficial
ownership interest in, any assets of the Employers prior to the time that such assets are paid to
the Participant or Beneficiary as provided herein. Each Participant and Beneficiary shall have the
status of a general unsecured creditor of his Employer. The amount standing to the credit of any
Participants Sub-Account is purely notional and affects only the calculation of benefits payable
to or in respect of him. It does not give the Participant any right or entitlement (whether legal,
equitable or otherwise) to any particular assets held for the purposes of the Plan or otherwise.
13
Section 9.3.
No Guarantee of Employment
. Nothing in this Plan shall be
construed as guaranteeing future employment to Participants. A Participant continues to be an
Employee of an Employer solely at the will of such Employer subject to discharge at any time, with
or without cause.
Section 9.4.
Payment to Guardian
. If a Benefit payable hereunder is payable
to a minor, to a person declared incompetent or to a person incapable of handling the disposition
of his property, the Plan Administrator may direct payment of such Benefit to the guardian, legal
representative or person having the care and custody of such minor, incompetent or person. The
Plan Administrator may require such proof of incompetency, minority, incapacity or guardianship as
it may deem appropriate prior to distribution of the benefit. Such distribution shall completely
discharge the Employers from all liability with respect to such Benefit.
Section 9.5.
Assignment
.
(a) Subject to Subsection (b), no right or interest under this Plan of any Participant or
Beneficiary shall be assignable or transferable in any manner or be subject to alienation,
anticipation, sale, pledge, encumbrance or other legal process or in any manner be liable for or
subject to the debts or liabilities of the Participant or Beneficiary.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Plan Administrator shall honor a qualified domestic
relations order (QDRO) from a state domestic relations court which requires the payment of all
or a part of a Participants or Beneficiarys vested interest under this Plan to an alternate
payee as defined in Code Section 414(p).
Section 9.6.
Severability
. If any provision of this Plan or the application
thereof to any circumstance(s) or person(s) is held to be invalid by a court of competent
jurisdiction, the remainder of the Plan and the application of such provision to other
circumstances or persons shall not be affected thereby.
Section 9.7.
Effect on other Benefits.
Benefits payable to or with respect
to a Participant under the Profit Sharing Plan or any other Employer sponsored (qualified or
nonqualified) plan, if any, are in addition to those provided under this Plan.
ARTICLE X ADMINISTRATION OF PLAN
Section 10.1.
Administration
.
(a)
In General
. The Plan shall be administered by the Plan Administrator. The Plan
Administrator shall have discretion to interpret where necessary all provisions of the Plan
(including, without limitation, by supplying omissions from, correcting deficiencies in, or
resolving inconsistencies or ambiguities in, the language of the Plan), to make factual findings
with respect to any issue arising under the Plan, to determine the rights and status under the Plan
of Participants or other persons, to resolve questions (including factual questions) or disputes
arising under the Plan and to make any determinations with respect to the benefits payable under
the Plan and the persons entitled thereto as may be necessary for the purposes of the Plan.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Plan Administrator is hereby granted the
authority (i) to determine whether a particular employee is a Participant, and (ii) to determine if
a
14
person is entitled to Benefits hereunder and, if so, the amount and duration of such Benefits.
The Plan Administrators determination of the rights of any person hereunder shall be final and
binding on all persons, subject only to the provisions of Sections 10.3 and 10.4 hereof.
(b)
Delegation of Duties
. The Plan Administrator may delegate any of its
administrative duties, including, without limitation, duties with respect to the processing,
review, investigation, approval and payment of Benefits, to a named administrator or
administrators.
Section 10.2.
Regulations
. The Plan Administrator may promulgate any rules
and regulations it deems necessary in order to carry out the purposes of the Plan or to interpret
the provisions of the Plan; provided, however, that no rule, regulation or interpretation shall be
contrary to the provisions of the Plan. The rules, regulations and interpretations made by the
Plan Administrator shall, subject only to the provisions of Sections 10.3 and 10.4 hereof, be final
and binding on all persons.
15
Section 10.3.
Claims Procedures
.
(a) The Plan Administrator shall determine the rights of any person to any Benefits hereunder.
Any person who believes that he has not received the Benefits to which he is entitled under the
Plan must file a claim in writing with the Plan Administrator. The Plan Administrator shall, no
later than 90 days after the receipt of a claim (plus an additional period of 90 days if required
for processing, provided that notice of the extension of time is given to the claimant within the
first 90 day period), either allow or deny the claim in writing.
(b) A written denial of a claim by the Plan Administrator, wholly or partially, shall be
written in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant and shall include: (i) the specific
reasons for the denial; (ii) specific reference to pertinent Plan provisions on which the denial is
based; (iii) 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; and (iv) an
explanation of the claim review procedure and the time limits applicable thereto (including a
statement of the claimants right to bring a civil action under Section 502(a) of ERISA following
an adverse benefit determination on review).
(c) A claimant whose claim is denied (or his duly authorized representative) who wants to
contest that decision must file with the Plan Administrator a written request for a review of such
claim within 60 days after receipt of denial of a claim. If the claimant does not file a request
for review of his claim within such 60-day period, the claimant shall be deemed to have acquiesced
in the original decision of the Plan Administrator on his claim. If such an appeal is so filed
within such 60 day period, the Compensation Committee (or its delegate) shall conduct a full and
fair review of such claim. During such review, the claimant shall be given the opportunity to
review documents that are pertinent to his claim and to submit issues and comments in writing. For
this purpose, the Compensation Committee (or its delegate) shall have the same power to interpret
the Plan and make findings of fact thereunder as is given to the Plan Administrator under Section
10.1(a) above.
(d) The Compensation Committee (or its delegate) shall mail or deliver to the claimant a
written decision on the matter based on the facts and the pertinent provisions of the Plan within
60 days after the receipt of the request for review (unless special circumstances require an
extension of up to 60 additional days, in which case written notice of such extension shall be
given to the claimant prior to the commencement of such extension). Such decision shall be written
in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant, shall state the specific reasons for the
decision and the specific Plan provisions on which the decision was based and, to the extent
permitted by law, shall be final and binding on all interested persons. In addition, the notice of
adverse determination shall also include statements that the claimant is entitled to receive, upon
request and free of charge, reasonable access to and copies of all documents, records and other
information relevant to the claimants claim for benefits and a statement of the claimants right
to bring a civil action under Section 502(a) of ERISA.
Section 10.4.
Revocability of Action/Recovery
. Any action taken by the Plan
Administrator or the Compensation Committee (or its delegate) a with respect to the rights or
benefits under the Plan of any person shall be revocable as to payments not yet made to such
person. In addition, the acceptance of any Benefits under the Plan constitutes acceptance of and
16
agreement to the Plan making any appropriate adjustments in future payments to any person (or
to recover from such person) any excess payment or underpayment previously made to him.
Section 10.5.
Amendment
. The Company (with the approval or ratification of
the Compensation Committee) may at any time prospectively or retroactively amend any or all of the
provisions of this Plan for any reason whatsoever, except that, without the prior written consent
of the affected Participant, no such amendment may (a) reduce the amount of any Participants
vested Benefit as of the date of such amendment, (b) suspend the crediting of earnings on the
balance of a Participants Account, until the last day of the month prior to the payment date of
such Account or (c) alter the time of payment provisions described in Article VII of the Plan,
except for any amendments that are required to bring such provisions into compliance with the
requirements of Code Section 409A or that accelerate the time of payment in a manner permitted by
Code Section 409A. Any amendment shall be in the form of a written instrument executed by an
officer of the Company. Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section, such amendment shall
become effective as of the date specified in such instrument or, if no such date is specified, on
the date of its execution.

applies to non-Covered Employees at the time stated in Section 1.6 hereof. In addition, subject to
Subsection (b), the Company (without the consent of any Employer but with the approval or
ratification of the Compensation Committee), in its sole discretion, may terminate the remainder of
this Plan at any time and for any reason whatsoever, except that, without the prior written consent
of the affected Participant, no such termination may (i) adversely affect any Participants vested
Benefit as of the date of such termination, (ii) suspend the crediting of earnings on the balance
of a Participants Account, until the last day of the month prior to the payment date of such
Account or (c) alter the time of payment provisions described in Article VII of the Plan, except
for changes that are required to bring such provisions into compliance with the requirements of

409A. Any such termination shall be expressed in the form of a written instrument executed by an
officer of the Company on the order of the Compensation Committee. Subject to the foregoing
provisions of this Section, such termination shall become effective as of the date specified in
such instrument or, if no such date is specified, on the date of its execution. Written notice of
any termination shall be given to the Participants.
(b) Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, in the event of a termination of the
Plan (or any portion thereof), the Company, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall have the

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of any Employer that adopts the Plan and
thereafter (i) ceases to exist, (ii) ceases to be a Controlled Group Member or (iii) withdraws or

however, that such terminating Employer shall continue to be an Employer for the purposes hereof as
to Participants or Beneficiaries to whom it owes obligations hereunder.

withdraw from the Plan and such withdrawal shall constitute a termination of the Plan as to it;

18

EXCESS RETIREMENT BENEFITS CALCULATION OF AMOUNT

.
(a)
Amount of Excess 401(k) Benefits
. Each Participant may, prior to each December
31st, by completing an approved deferral election form, direct the Company to reduce his
Compensation for the next Plan Year, by the difference between (i) a certain percentage, in 1%
increments, with a maximum of 25%, of his Compensation for the Plan Year, and (ii) the maximum
Salary Deferral Contributions actually permitted to be contributed for him to the Savings Plan by
reason of the application of the limitations under Sections 402(g), 401(a)(17), 401(k)(3) and 415
of the Code (which amounts shall be referred to as the Excess 401(k) Benefits). Notwithstanding
the foregoing, a Participants direction to reduce a Bonus earned during a particular Plan Year
shall be made no later than December 31
st
of the Plan Year preceding the Plan Year in
which the Bonus commences to be earned. The last Excess 401(k) Benefits that are credited to the

was earned in 2007 and will be paid in 2008 shall not be credited to the Excess 401(k) Sub-Account
hereunder, but shall be credited to an account under the Companys Excess Retirement Plan that
becomes effective January 1, 2008.
(b)
Classification of Excess 401(k) Benefits
. The Excess 401(k) Benefits for a
particular Plan Year shall be calculated monthly and shall be further divided into the Basic
Excess 401(k) Benefits and the Additional Excess 401(k) Benefits as follows:
|
(i)
|
|
The Basic Excess 401(k) Benefits shall be determined by
multiplying each Excess 401(k) Benefit by a fraction, the numerator of which is
the lesser of the percentage of Compensation elected to be deferred in the
deferral election form for such Plan Year or 7% and the denominator of which is
the percentage of Compensation elected to be deferred; and
|
|
|
(ii)
|
|
The Additional Excess 401(k) Benefits (if any) shall be
determined by multiplying such Excess 401(k) Benefit by a fraction, the
numerator of which is the excess (if any) of (1) the percentage of
Compensation elected to be deferred in the deferral election form for such Plan
Year over (2) 7%, and the denominator of which is the percentage of
Compensation elected to be deferred.
|
The Basic Excess 401(k) Benefits shall be credited to the Basic Excess 401(k) Sub-Account under
this Plan and the Additional Excess 401(k) Benefits shall be credited to the Additional Excess
401(k) Sub-Account hereunder. The Basic and Additional Excess 401(k) Sub-Accounts shall be

. Any direction by a Participant to defer
Compensation under Subsection (a) shall be effective with respect to Compensation otherwise
payable to the Participant for the Plan Year for which the deferral election form is
effective, and the Participant shall not be eligible to receive such Compensation. Instead, such
amounts shall be credited to the Participants Basic and Additional Excess 401(k) Sub-Accounts (as
applicable)
-6-
hereunder. Any such direction shall be irrevocable with respect to Compensation earned
for such Plan Year, but shall have no effect on Compensation that is earned in subsequent Plan
Years. A new deferral election will be required for each Plan Year; provided, however, that no
new deferral elections shall be permitted under this Plan for Plan Years beginning on or after
January 1, 2008.
Section 3.2
Excess Matching Benefits
. A Participant shall have credited to his
Excess Matching Sub-Account an amount equal to the Matching Company Contributions attributable to
his Basic Excess 401(k) Benefits that he is prevented from receiving under the Savings Plan because
of the limitations imposed under Code Sections 402(g), 401(a)(17), 401(k)(3), 401(m) and 415 of the
Code ( the Excess Matching Benefits). The last Excess Matching Benefits that are credited to the
Excess Matching Sub-Account shall be those that are credited to the Sub-Account as of December 31,
2007.
Section 3.3
Excess Profit Sharing Benefits
. At the time described in Section 3.5(d),
a Participant shall have credited to his Excess Profit Sharing Sub-Account an amount equal to the
excess, of any, of (i) the Profit Sharing Contribution which would have been made to the Savings
Plan if such Plan did not contain the limitations imposed under Code Sections 401(a)(17) and 415
and the term Compensation (as defined in Section 2.6 of this Plan) were used for purposes of
determining the amount of Profit Sharing Contributions under the Savings Plan, over (ii) the amount
of Profit Sharing Contributions which are actually made to the Savings Plan on behalf of the
Participant for such Plan Year (the Excess Profit Sharing Benefits). The last Excess Profit
Sharing Benefits that are credited to the Excess Profit Sharing Sub-Account shall be for the 2007
Plan Year.

Participant terminates employment and shall be based on the year-to-date ROTCE for the month ending prior to the date the
Participant terminated employment, as calculated by the Company. For any subsequent month, such
ROTCE calculation shall not apply. The Fixed Income Fund calculation described above for the month

Section 9.1
Administration
. (a)
In general
. The Plan shall be administered
by the Plan Administrator. The Plan Administrator shall have sole and absolute discretion to
interpret where necessary all provisions of the Plan (including, without limitation, by supplying
omissions from, correcting deficiencies in, or resolving inconsistencies or ambiguities in, the
language of the Plan), to make factual findings with respect to any issue arising under the Plan,
to determine the rights and status under the Plan of Participants, or other persons, to resolve
questions (including factual questions) or disputes arising under the Plan and to make any
determinations with respect to the benefits payable under the Plan and the persons entitled thereto
as may be necessary for the purposes of the Plan. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Plan Administrator is hereby granted the authority (i) to determine whether a
particular employee is a Participant, and (ii) to determine if a person is entitled to Excess
Retirement Benefits hereunder and, if so, the amount and duration of such Benefits. The Plan
Administrators determination of the rights of any person hereunder shall be final and binding on
all persons, subject only to the claims procedures outlined in Section 9.3 hereof.
(b)
Delegation of Duties
. The Plan Administrator may delegate any of its
administrative duties, including, without limitation, duties with respect to the processing,
review, investigation, approval and payment of Excess Retirement Benefits, to a named administrator
or administrators.
Section 9.2
Regulations
. The Plan Administrator may promulgate any rules and
regulations it deems necessary in order to carry out the purposes of the Plan or to interpret the
provisions of the Plan; provided, however, that no rule, regulation or interpretation shall be
contrary to the provisions of the Plan. The rules, regulations and interpretations made by
the Plan Administrator shall, subject only to the claims procedure outlined in Section 9.3 hereof,
be final and binding on all persons.
Section 9.3
Claims Procedures
. The Plan Administrator shall determine the rights of
any person to any Excess Retirement Benefits hereunder. Any person who believes that he has not
received the Excess Retirement Benefits to which he is entitled under the Plan may file a claim in
writing with the Plan Administrator. The Plan Administrator shall, no later than 90 days after the
receipt of a claim (plus an additional period of 90 days if required for processing, provided that
notice of the extension of time is given to the claimant within the first 90 day period), either
allow or deny the claim in writing.
-13-
A denial of a claim by the Plan Administrator, wholly or partially, shall be written in a
manner calculated to be understood by the claimant and shall include:
|
(a)
|
|
the specific reasons for the denial;
|
|
|
(b)
|
|
specific reference to pertinent Plan provisions on which the
denial is based;
|
|
|
(c)
|
|
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; and
|
|
|
(d)
|
|
an explanation of the claim review procedure and the time
limits applicable thereto (including a statement of the claimants right to
bring a civil action under Section 502(a) of ERISA following an adverse benefit
determination on review).
|
A claimant whose claim is denied (or his duly authorized representative) may within 60 days
after receipt of denial of a claim file with the Plan Administrator a written request for a review
of such claim. If the claimant does not file a request for review of his claim within such 60-day
period, the claimant shall be deemed to have acquiesced in the original decision of the Plan
Administrator on his claim. If such an appeal is so filed within such 60 day period, the
Compensation Committee (or its delegate) shall conduct a full and fair review of such claim.
During such review, the claimant shall be given the opportunity to review documents that are
pertinent to his claim and to submit issues and comments in writing. For this purpose, the
Compensation Committee (or its delegate) shall have the same power to interpret the Plan and make
findings of fact thereunder as is given to the Plan Administrator under Section 9.1(a) above.
The Compensation Committee (or its delegate) shall mail or deliver to the claimant a written
decision on the matter based on the facts and the pertinent provisions of the Plan within 60 days
after the receipt of the request for review (unless special circumstances
require an extension of up to 60 additional days, in which case written notice of such
extension shall be given to the claimant prior to the commencement of such extension). Such
decision shall be written in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant, shall state the
specific reasons for the decision and the specific Plan provisions on which the decision was based
and shall, to the extent permitted by law, be final and binding on all interested persons. In
addition, the notice of adverse determination shall also include statements that the claimant is
entitled to receive, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all
documents, records and other information relevant to the claimants claim for benefits and a
statement of the claimants right to bring a civil action under Section 502(a) of ERISA.
Section 9.4
Revocability of Action
. Any action taken by the Plan Administrator or the
Compensation Committee with respect to the rights or benefits under the Plan of any person shall
be revocable as to payments not yet made to such person. In addition, the acceptance of any
Excess Retirement Benefits under the Plan constitutes acceptance of and agreement to the
-14-
Plan making any appropriate adjustments in future payments to any person (or to recover from such
person) any excess payment or underpayment previously made to him.
Section 9.5
Amendment
. The Company (with the approval or ratification of the Benefits
Committee) may at any time amend any or all of the provisions of this Plan, except that, without
the prior written consent of the affected Participant, no such amendment may (a) reduce the amount
of any Participants vested Benefit as of the date of such amendment, (b) except as described in
Section 4.2, suspend the crediting of earnings on the balance of a Participants Account, until the
entire balance of such Account has been distributed or (c) alter the time of payment provisions
described in Article VI of the Plan, except for changes that accelerate the time of payments or are
required to bring such provisions into compliance with the requirements of Code Section 409A. Any
amendment shall be in the form of a written instrument executed by an officer of the Company.
Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section, such amendment shall become effective as of
the date specified in such instrument or, if no such date is specified, on the date of its
execution.
Section 9.6
Termination
.
(a) The Company has taken action to terminate the Plan. For all Participants other than the
President of the Company, the Plan is terminated effective December 31, 2007. For the President of
the Company, the Plan shall be terminated immediately after he receives a final distribution from
his Account.
(b) In addition, notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, to the extent permitted
under Code Section 409A, in the event of a termination of the Plan (or any portion thereof), the
Company, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall have the right to change the time and form of
distribution of Participants Excess Retirement Benefits, including requiring that all amounts
credited to a Participants Account hereunder be immediately distributed in the form of a lump sum
payment.

such Plan Year by the ROTCE Table Rate determined for such Plan Year, compounded monthly. This
ROTCE Table Rate calculation shall
8

extension). Such decision (i) shall be written in a manner calculated to be understood by
the Claimant, (ii) shall state the specific reasons for the decision and the specific Plan
provisions on which the decision was based and (iii) shall, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, be final and binding on all interested persons. In addition, the notice of

Amount of Excess 401(k) Benefits
. For periods on and after January 1, 2008, each
Participant may, prior to each prior December 31st, by completing an approved deferral election
form, direct his Employer to reduce his Compensation for the next Plan Year, by the difference
between (i) a certain percentage, in 1% increments, with a maximum of 25%, of his Compensation for
the Plan Year, and (ii) the maximum Before-Tax Contributions actually permitted to be contributed
for him to the Retirement Plan by reason of the application of the limitations under Sections
402(g), 401(a)(17), 401(k)(3) and 415 of the Code or any other Retirement Plan limits (which
amounts shall be referred to as the Excess 401(k) Benefits). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a
Participants direction to reduce a Bonus earned during a particular Plan Year shall be made no
later than December 31

(b)

. The Excess 401(k) Benefits for a
particular Plan Year shall be calculated monthly and shall be further divided into the Basic
Excess 401(k) Benefits and the Additional Excess 401(k) Benefits as follows:
|
(i)
|
|
The Basic Excess 401(k) Benefits shall be determined by
multiplying each Excess 401(k) Benefit by a fraction, the numerator of which is
the lesser of the percentage of Compensation elected to be deferred in the
deferral election form for such Plan Year or 5%, and the denominator of which
is the percentage of Compensation elected to be deferred; and
|
|
|
(ii)
|
|
The Additional Excess 401(k) Benefits (if any) shall be
determined by multiplying such Excess 401(k) Benefit by a fraction, (1) the
numerator of which is the excess (if any) of the percentage of Compensation
elected to be
|
-5-
|
|
|
deferred in the deferral election form for such Plan Year over 5%, and (2) the
denominator of which is the percentage of Compensation elected to be deferred.
|
The Basic Excess 401(k) Benefits shall be credited to the Basic Excess 401(k) Sub-Account under the
Plan and the Additional Excess 401(k) Benefits shall be credited to the Additional Excess 401(k)
Sub-Account hereunder. The Basic and Additional Excess 401(k) Sub-Accounts shall be referred to
collectively as the Excess 401(k) Sub-Account.
(c)
Consequences of Deferral Election
. Any direction by a Participant to defer
Compensation under Subsection (a) shall be effective with respect to Compensation otherwise
payable to the Participant for the Plan Year for which the deferral election form is effective,
and the Participant shall not be eligible to receive such Compensation. Instead, such amounts
shall be credited to the Participants Basic and Additional Excess 401(k) Sub-Accounts (as
applicable) hereunder. Any such direction shall be irrevocable with respect to Compensation earned
for such Plan Year, but shall have no effect on Compensation that is earned in subsequent Plan
Years. A new deferral election will be required for each Plan Year.

Matching Sub-Account an amount equal to the Matching Employer Contributions attributable to his
Basic Excess 401(k) Benefits that he is prevented from receiving under the Retirement Plan because
of the limitations imposed under Code Sections 402(g), 401(a)(17), 401(k)(3), 401(m) and 415 of the
Code or as a result of his deferral of Compensation under this Plan (the Excess Matching
Benefits).
Section 3.3
Excess Profit Sharing Benefits
. Effective for Plan Years commencing on or
after January 1, 2008, a Participant shall have credited to his Excess Profit Sharing Sub-Account
an amount equal to the excess, of any, of (a) the Profit Sharing Contribution that would have been
made to the Retirement Plan if (i) the Participant was a participant in such Plan and (ii) such
Plan did not contain the limitations imposed under Code Sections 401(a)(17) and 415, any
limitations on the Profit Sharing Contributions payable to Highly Compensated Employees and the
term Compensation (as defined in Section 2.5 of the Plan) were used for purposes of determining
the amount of Profit Sharing Contributions under the Retirement Plan,
over
(b) the amount
of Profit Sharing Contributions (if any) that are actually made to the Retirement Plan on behalf of
the Participant for such Plan Year (the Excess Profit Sharing Benefits).
Section 3.4
Transitional Benefits
. The Participant described in Section 2.10(c) shall
have credited to his Transitional Sub-Account an amount (the Transitional Benefits) equal to (a)
$60,433 on December 31, 2008 and (b) in each subsequent Plan Year, an amount that is 4% greater
than the amount that was credited under this Section 3.4 for the prior Plan Year. The Transitional
Benefits described in the preceding sentence shall be credited annually as of each December
31
st
; provided that the Participant is employed by the Company on such date.
Section 3.5

described in Section 3.3, which shall be credited to the Sub-Account at the time the Profit Sharing
Contributions are otherwise credited to the Participants account under the Retirement Plan.

described in Section 3.4.
(e) Credits to all Sub-Accounts for the earnings and the uplift described in Article IV.

Section 4.1
Earnings
. Subject to Section 4.3, at the end of each calendar month
during a Plan Year, the Excess 401(k) Sub-Account, Excess Matching Sub-Account and Transitional
Sub-Account of each Participant shall be credited with earnings in an amount determined by
multiplying such Participants weighted average daily Sub-Account balance during such month by the
blended rate earned during such month by the Fixed Income Fund. However, no earnings shall be
credited for the month in which the Participant receives a distribution from his Sub-Account.
Section 4.2
Uplift on Plan Payments

Payments Violating Applicable Law.
Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to
the contrary, the payment of all or any portion of the amounts payable hereunder will be deferred
to the extent that the Company reasonably anticipates that the making of such payment would violate

cause income taxes or penalties under the Code shall not be treated as a violation of applicable
law). The deferred amount shall become payable at the earliest date at which the Company
reasonably anticipates that making the payment will not cause such violation.
(b)
Delayed Payments Due to Solvency Issues
. Notwithstanding any provision of the
Plan to the contrary, an Employer shall not be required to make any payment hereunder to any
Participant or Beneficiary if the making of the payment would jeopardize the ability of the
Employer to continue as a going concern; provided that any missed payment is made during the first
calendar year in which the funds of the Employer are sufficient to make the payment without
jeopardizing the going concern status of the Employer.
(c)
Key Employees
. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, to the
extent a particular Sub-Account is subject to the requirements of Code Section 409A, the
distribution of such Sub-Account to Key Employees made on account of a Termination of Employment
may not be made before the 1st day of the 7th month following such Termination of Employment (or,
if earlier, the date of death), except for payments made on account of (i) a QDRO (as specified in

6-month period following his Termination of Employment shall be accumulated and paid in a lump sum
make-up payment within 10 days following the 1st day of the 7th month following Termination of
Employment.
(d)

contrary, to the extent the payment of a particular Sub-Account is subject to the requirements of

-8-
necessary to comply with federal, state, local or foreign ethics or conflicts of interest laws
or agreements or (ii) to the extent necessary to pay the FICA taxes imposed on benefits hereunder
under Code Section 3101, and the income withholding taxes related thereto. Payments may also be
accelerated if the Plan (or a portion thereof) fails to satisfy the requirements of, or exceptions
to, Code Section 409A; provided that the amount of any payment from a Sub-Account that is subject
to Code Section 409A may not exceed the amount required to be included as income as a result of the
failure to comply with Code Section 409A.
Section 6.3
Withholding/Taxes
. To the extent required by applicable law, the Employer
shall withhold from the Excess Retirement Benefits hereunder any income, employment or other taxes
required to be withheld therefrom by any government or government agency.

MISCELLANEOUS
Section 7.1
Liability of Employer
. Nothing in the Plan shall constitute the creation
of a trust or other fiduciary relationship between the Employer and any Participant, Beneficiary or
any other person.
Section 7.2
Limitation on Rights of Participants and Beneficiaries No Lien
. The
Plan is designed to be an unfunded, nonqualified plan. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to
create a trust or lien in favor of any Participant or Beneficiary on any assets of the Employer.
The Employer shall have no obligation to purchase any assets that do not remain subject to the
claims of the creditors of the Employer for use in connection with the Plan. No Participant or
Beneficiary or any other person shall have any preferred claim on, or any beneficial ownership
interest in, any assets of the Employer prior to the time that such assets are paid to the
Participant or Beneficiary as provided herein. Each Participant and Beneficiary shall have the
status of a general unsecured creditor of the Participants Employer.
Section 7.3
No Guarantee of Employment

guaranteeing future employment to Participants. A Participant continues to be an Employee of an
Employer solely at the will of the Employer subject to discharge at any time, with or without
cause.
Section 7.4
Payment to Guardian
. If a Benefit payable hereunder is payable to a
minor, to a person declared incompetent or to a person incapable of handling the disposition of his
property, the Plan Administrator may direct payment of such Benefit to the guardian, legal
representative or person having the care and custody of such minor, incompetent or person. The
Plan Administrator may require such proof of incompetency, minority, incapacity or guardianship as
it may deem appropriate prior to distribution of the Benefit. Such distribution shall completely
discharge the Company from all liability with respect to such Benefit.
Section 7.5
Anti-Assignment/Early Payment Due to QDRO
. No right or interest under the
Plan of any Participant or Beneficiary shall be assignable or transferable in any manner or be
subject to alienation, anticipation, sale, pledge, encumbrance or other legal process or in any

Section 8.1
Administration
.
(a)
In general
. The Plan shall be administered by the Plan Administrator. The Plan
Administrator shall have sole and absolute discretion to interpret where necessary all provisions
of the Plan (including, without limitation, by supplying omissions from, correcting deficiencies
in, or resolving inconsistencies or ambiguities in, the language of the Plan), to make factual
findings with respect to any issue arising under the Plan, to determine the rights and status under
the Plan of Participants, or other persons, to resolve questions (including factual questions) or
disputes arising under the Plan and to make any determinations with respect to the benefits payable
under the Plan and the persons entitled thereto as may be necessary for the purposes of the Plan.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Plan Administrator is hereby granted the
authority (i) to determine whether a particular employee is a Participant, and (ii) to determine if
a person is entitled to Excess Retirement Benefits hereunder and, if so, the amount and duration of
such Benefits. The Plan Administrators determination of the rights of any person hereunder shall
be final and binding on all persons, subject only to the claims procedures outlined in Section 8.3
hereof.
(b)
Delegation of Duties
. The Plan Administrator may delegate any of its
administrative duties, including, without limitation, duties with respect to the processing,
review, investigation, approval and payment of Excess Retirement Benefits, to a named administrator
or administrators.
Section 8.2
Regulations
. The Plan Administrator may promulgate any rules and
regulations it deems necessary in order to carry out the purposes of the Plan or to interpret the
provisions of the Plan; provided, however, that no rule, regulation or interpretation shall be
-10-
contrary to the provisions of the Plan. The rules, regulations and interpretations made by
the Plan Administrator shall, subject only to the claims procedure outlined in Section 8.3 hereof,
be final and binding on all persons.
Section 8.3
Claims Procedures
. The Plan Administrator shall determine the rights of
any person to any Excess Retirement Benefits hereunder. Any person who believes that he has not
received the Excess Retirement Benefits to which he is entitled under the Plan may file a claim in
writing with the Plan Administrator. The Plan Administrator shall, no later than 90 days after the
receipt of a claim (plus an additional period of 90 days if required for processing, provided that
notice of the extension of time is given to the claimant within the first 90 day period), either
allow or deny the claim in writing.
A denial of a claim by the Plan Administrator, wholly or partially, shall be written in a
manner calculated to be understood by the claimant and shall include:
|
(a)
|
|
the specific reasons for the denial;
|
|
|
(b)
|
|
specific reference to pertinent Plan provisions on which the
denial is based;
|
|
|
(c)
|
|
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; and
|
|
|
(d)
|
|
an explanation of the claim review procedure and the time
limits applicable thereto (including a statement of the claimants right to
bring a civil action under Section 502(a) of ERISA following an adverse benefit
determination on review).
|
A claimant whose claim is denied (or his duly authorized representative) may within 60 days
after receipt of denial of a claim file with the Plan Administrator a written request for a review
of such claim. If the claimant does not file a request for review of his claim within such 60-day
period, the claimant shall be deemed to have acquiesced in the original decision of the Plan
Administrator on his claim. If such an appeal is so filed within such 60 day period, the Companys
Compensation Committee (or its delegate) shall conduct a full and fair review of such claim.
During such review, the claimant shall be given the opportunity to review documents that are
pertinent to his claim and to submit issues and comments in writing. For this purpose, the
Compensation Committee (or its delegate) shall have the same power to interpret the Plan and make
findings of fact thereunder as is given to the Plan Administrator under Section 8.1(a) above.
The Compensation Committee (or its delegate) shall mail or deliver to the claimant a written
decision on the matter based on the facts and the pertinent provisions of the Plan within 60 days
after the receipt of the request for review (unless special circumstances require an extension of
up to 60 additional days, in which case written notice of such extension shall be given to the
claimant prior to the commencement of such extension). Such decision shall be written in a manner
calculated to be understood by the claimant, shall state the specific
-11-
reasons for the decision and the specific Plan provisions on which the decision was based and
shall, to the extent permitted by law, be final and binding on all interested persons. In
addition, the notice of adverse determination shall also include statements that the claimant is
entitled to receive, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all
documents, records and other information relevant to the claimants claim for benefits and a
statement of the claimants right to bring a civil action under Section 502(a) of ERISA.
Section 8.4
Revocability of Action/Adjustment
. Any action taken by the Plan
Administrator or the Compensation Committee with respect to the rights or benefits under the Plan
of any person shall be revocable as to payments not yet made to such person. In addition, the
acceptance of any Excess Retirement Benefits under the Plan constitutes acceptance of and agreement
to the Plan making any appropriate adjustments in future payments to any person (or to recover from
such person) any excess payment or underpayment previously made to him.
Section 8.5
Amendment
. The Company (with the approval or ratification of the
Compensation Committee) may at any time amend any or all of the provisions of the Plan, except
that, without the prior written consent of the affected Participant, no such amendment may (a)
reduce the amount of any Participants Sub-Account balance as of the date of such amendment or (b)
alter the time of payment provisions described in Article VI of the Plan, except for any amendments
that are required to bring such provisions into compliance with the requirements of (or exceptions
to) Code Section 409A or that accelerate the time of payment (and comply with Code Section 409A
solely to the extent a particular Sub-Account is subject to the requirements of Code Section 409A).
Any amendment shall be in the form of a written instrument executed by an officer of the Company.
Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section, such amendment shall become effective as of
the date specified in such instrument or, if no such date is specified, on the date of its
execution.
Section 8.6
Termination
. The Company, in its sole discretion, may terminate the Plan
(or any portion thereof) at any time and for any reason whatsoever, except that, without the prior
written consent of the affected Participant, no such termination may (i) reduce the amount of any
Participants Sub-Account balance as of the date of such termination or (ii) alter the time of
payment provisions described in Article VI of the Plan, except for a termination that accelerates
the time of payments (and complies with Code Section 409A solely to the extent a particular
Sub-Account is subject to the requirements of Code Section 409A). Any such termination shall be
expressed in the form of a written instrument executed by an officer of the Company, with the
approval or ratification of the Compensation Committee. Subject to the foregoing provisions of

or, if no such date is specified, on the date of its execution. Written notice of any termination

prior to each December 31
st
, by completing an approved deferral election form, direct
his Employer to reduce his Compensation for the next Plan Year by an amount equal to the
difference between (i) a specified percentage, in 1% increments, with a maximum of 25%, of his
Compensation for the Plan Year, and (ii) the maximum Before-Tax Contributions actually permitted to

particular Plan Year shall be calculated monthly and shall be further divided into the Basic
Excess 401(k) Benefits and the Additional Excess 401(k) Benefits as follows:
(i) The Basic Excess 401(k) Benefits shall be determined by multiplying each Excess 401(k)
Benefit by a fraction, the numerator of which is the lesser of the percentage of Compensation
elected to be deferred in the deferral election form for such Plan Year or 7% and the denominator
of which is the percentage of Compensation elected to be deferred; and
(ii) The Additional Excess 401(k) Benefits (if any) shall be determined by multiplying each
Excess 401(k) Benefit by a fraction, the numerator of which is the excess (if any) of (1) the
percentage of Compensation elected to be deferred in the deferral election form for such Plan Year
over (2) 7%, and the denominator of which is the percentage of Compensation elected to be deferred.
The Basic Excess 401(k) Benefits shall be credited to the Basic Excess 401(k) Sub-Account
under this Plan and the Additional Excess 401(k) Benefits shall be credited to the
Additional Excess 401(k) Sub-Account hereunder.
Section 3.3.
Excess Matching Benefits

Participant shall have credited to his Excess Matching Sub-Account an amount equal to the Matching

ARTICLE VIII MISCELLANEOUS
Section 8.1.
Liability of Employers
. Nothing in this Plan shall constitute
the creation of a trust or other fiduciary relationship between an Employer and any Participant,
Beneficiary or any other person.
Section 8.2.
Limitation on Rights of Participants and Beneficiaries No
Lien
. This Plan is designed to be an unfunded, nonqualified plan. Nothing contained herein
shall be deemed to create a trust or lien in favor of any Participant or Beneficiary on any assets
of an Employer. The Employers shall have no obligation to purchase any assets that do not remain
subject to the claims of the creditors of the Employers for use in connection with the Plan. No
Participant or Beneficiary or any other person shall have any preferred claim on, or any beneficial
ownership interest in, any assets of the Employers prior to the time that such assets are paid to
the Participant or Beneficiary as provided herein. Each Participant and Beneficiary shall have the
status of a general unsecured creditor of his Employer. The amount standing to the credit of any
Participants Sub-Account is purely notional and affects only the calculation of benefits payable
to or in respect of him. It does not give the Participant any right or entitlement (whether legal,
equitable or otherwise) to any particular assets held for the purposes of the Plan or otherwise.
Section 8.3.
No Guarantee of Employment

construed as guaranteeing future employment to Participants. A Participant continues to be an

or without cause.
Section 8.4.
Payment to Guardian

to a minor, to a person declared incompetent or to a person incapable of handling the disposition
of his property, the Plan Administrator may direct payment of such Benefit to the guardian, legal
representative or person having the care and custody of such minor, incompetent or person. The
Plan Administrator may require such proof of incompetency, minority, incapacity or guardianship as
it may deem appropriate prior to distribution of the benefit. Such distribution shall completely
discharge the Employers from all liability with respect to such Benefit.
Section 8.5.
Assignment
.
(a) Subject to Subsection (b), no right or interest under this Plan of any Participant or
Beneficiary shall be assignable or transferable in any manner or be subject to alienation,

relations order (QDRO) from a state domestic relations court which requires the payment of all
or a part of a Participants or Beneficiarys vested interest under this Plan to an alternate
payee as defined in Code Section 414(p).
Section 8.6.
Severability
. If any provision of this Plan or the application
thereof to any circumstance(s) or person(s) is held to be invalid by a court of competent
jurisdiction, the
9
remainder of the Plan and the application of such provision to other circumstances or persons
shall not be affected thereby.
Section 8.7.

to a Participant under the Profit Sharing Plan or any other Employer sponsored (qualified or

Administration
.
(a)
In General
. The Plan shall be administered by the Plan Administrator. The Plan
Administrator shall have discretion to interpret where necessary all provisions of the Plan
(including, without limitation, by supplying omissions from, correcting deficiencies in, or
resolving inconsistencies or ambiguities in, the language of the Plan), to make factual findings
with respect to any issue arising under the Plan, to determine the rights and status under the Plan
of Participants or other persons, to resolve questions (including factual questions) or disputes
arising under the Plan and to make any determinations with respect to the benefits payable under
the Plan and the persons entitled thereto as may be necessary for the purposes of the Plan.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Plan Administrator is hereby granted the
authority (i) to determine whether a particular employee is a Participant, and (ii) to determine if
a person is entitled to Benefits hereunder and, if so, the amount and duration of such Benefits.
The Plan Administrators determination of the rights of any person hereunder shall be final and
binding on all persons, subject only to the provisions of Sections 9.3 and 9.4 hereof.

Plan Administrator shall, subject only to the provisions of Sections 9.3 and 9.4 hereof, be final
and binding on all persons.
10
Section 9.3.
Claims Procedures
.

Any person who believes that he has not received the Benefits to which he is entitled under the
Plan must file a claim in writing with the Plan Administrator. The Plan Administrator shall, no
later than 90 days after the receipt of a claim (plus an additional period of 90 days if required
for processing, provided that notice of the extension of time is given to the claimant within the
first 90 day period), either allow or deny the claim in writing.
(b) A written denial of a claim by the Plan Administrator, wholly or partially, shall be
written in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant and shall include: (i) the specific
reasons for the denial; (ii) specific reference to pertinent Plan provisions on which the denial is
based; (iii) 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; and (iv) an
explanation of the claim review procedure and the time limits applicable thereto (including a
statement of the claimants right to bring a civil action under Section 502(a) of ERISA following
an adverse benefit determination on review).
(c) A claimant whose claim is denied (or his duly authorized representative) who wants to
contest that decision must file with the Plan Administrator a written request for a review of such
claim within 60 days after receipt of denial of a claim. If the claimant does not file a request
for review of his claim within such 60-day period, the claimant shall be deemed to have acquiesced
in the original decision of the Plan Administrator on his claim. If such an appeal is so filed
within such 60 day period, the Compensation Committee (or its delegate) shall conduct a full and
fair review of such claim. During such review, the claimant shall be given the opportunity to
review documents that are pertinent to his claim and to submit issues and comments in writing. For
this purpose, the Compensation Committee (or its delegate) shall have the same power to interpret
the Plan and make findings of fact thereunder as is given to the Plan Administrator under Section
9.1(a) above.
(d) The Compensation Committee (or its delegate) shall mail or deliver to the claimant a
written decision on the matter based on the facts and the pertinent provisions of the Plan within
60 days after the receipt of the request for review (unless special circumstances require an
extension of up to 60 additional days, in which case written notice of such extension shall be
given to the claimant prior to the commencement of such extension). Such decision shall be written
in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant, shall state the specific reasons for the
decision and the specific Plan provisions on which the decision was based and, to the extent
permitted by law, shall be final and binding on all interested persons. In addition, the notice of
adverse determination shall also include statements that the claimant is entitled to receive, upon
request and free of charge, reasonable access to and copies of all documents, records and other
information relevant to the claimants claim for benefits and a statement of the claimants right
to bring a civil action under Section 502(a) of ERISA.
Section 9.4.

. Any action taken by the Plan
Administrator or the Compensation Committee (or its delegate) a with respect to the rights or
benefits under the Plan of any person shall be revocable as to payments not yet made to such
person. In addition, the acceptance of any Benefits under the Plan constitutes acceptance of and
agreement to the Plan

person) any excess payment or underpayment previously made to him.
Section 9.5.
Amendment
. The Company (with the approval or ratification of
the Compensation Committee) may at any time prospectively or retroactively amend any or all of the
provisions of this Plan for any reason whatsoever, except that, without the prior written consent
of the affected Participant, no such amendment may (a) reduce the amount of any Participants
vested Benefit as of the date of such amendment or (b) alter the time of payment provisions
described in Article VII of the Plan, except for any amendments that are required to bring such
provisions into compliance with the requirements of, or exceptions to, Code Section 409A or that

Company. Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section, such amendment shall become

EXCESS RETIREMENT BENEFITS CALCULATION OF AMOUNT
Section 3.1
Basic and Additional Excess 401(k) Benefits

(a)
Amount of Excess 401(k) Benefits
. For periods on and after January 1, 2008, each
Participant may, prior to each December 31st, by completing an approved deferral election form,
direct the Company to reduce his Compensation for the next Plan Year, by the difference between
(i) a certain percentage, in 1% increments, with a maximum of 25%, of his Compensation for the Plan
Year, and (ii) the maximum Salary Deferral Contributions actually permitted to be contributed for
him to the Savings Plan by reason of the application of the limitations under Sections 402(g),
401(a)(17), 401(k)(3) and 415 of the Code (which amounts shall be referred to as the Excess 401(k)
Benefits). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Participants direction to reduce a Bonus earned
during a particular Plan Year shall be made no later than December 31
st
of the Plan Year
preceding the Plan Year in which the Bonus commences to be earned. Elections to defer Bonuses that
were earned in 2007 were made prior to December 31, 2006 under The Kitchen Collection, Inc.
Deferred Compensation Plan for Management Employees and shall continue in effect hereunder;
provided, however, that the payment of those amounts shall be as specified in Article VI hereof.
(b)
Classification of Excess 401(k) Benefits
. The Excess 401(k) Benefits for a
particular Plan Year shall be calculated monthly and shall be further divided into the Basic
Excess 401(k) Benefits and the Additional Excess 401(k) Benefits as follows:
|
(i)
|
|
The Basic Excess 401(k) Benefits shall be determined by
multiplying each Excess 401(k) Benefit by a fraction, the numerator of which is
the lesser of the percentage of Compensation elected to be deferred in the deferral election form
for such Plan Year or 6% and the denominator of which is the percentage of
Compensation elected to be deferred; and
|
|
|
(ii)
|
|
The Additional Excess 401(k) Benefits (if any) shall be
determined by multiplying such Excess 401(k) Benefit by a fraction, the
numerator of which is the excess (if any) of (1) the percentage of
Compensation elected to be deferred in the deferral election form for such Plan
Year over (2) 6%, and the denominator of which is the percentage of
Compensation elected to be deferred.
|
The Basic Excess 401(k) Benefits shall be credited to the Basic Excess 401(k) Sub-Account under
this Plan and the Additional Excess 401(k) Benefits shall be credited to the Additional
-5-
Excess 401(k) Sub-Account hereunder. The Basic and Additional Excess 401(k) Sub-Accounts shall be
referred to collectively as the Excess 401(k) Sub-Account.
(c)
Consequences of Deferral Election
. Any direction by a Participant to defer
Compensation under Subsection (a) shall be effective with respect to Compensation otherwise
payable to the Participant for the Plan Year for which the deferral election form is effective,
and the Participant shall not be eligible to receive such Compensation. Instead, such amounts
shall be credited to the Participants Basic and Additional Excess 401(k) Sub-Accounts (as
applicable) hereunder. Any such direction shall be irrevocable with respect to Compensation earned
for such Plan Year, but shall have no effect on Compensation that is earned in subsequent Plan
Years. A new deferral election will be required for each Plan Year.
Section 3.2
Excess Matching Benefits
. A Participant shall have credited to his
Excess Matching Sub-Account an amount equal to the Matching Company Contributions attributable to
his Basic Excess 401(k) Benefits that he is prevented from receiving under the Savings Plan because
of the limitations imposed under Code Sections 402(g), 401(a)(17), 401(k)(3), 401(m) and 415 of the
Code (the Excess Matching Benefits).
Section 3.3
Excess Profit Sharing Benefits
. Effective for Plan Years commencing on or
after January 1, 2008, a Participant shall have credited to his Excess Profit Sharing Sub-Account
an amount equal to the excess, of any, of (i) the Profit Sharing Contribution which would have been
made to the Savings Plan if such Plan did not contain the limitations imposed under Code Sections
401(a)(17) and 415 and the term Compensation (as defined in Section 2.5 of this Plan) were used
for purposes of determining the amount of Profit Sharing Contributions under the Savings Plan, over
(ii) the amount of Profit Sharing Contributions which are actually made to the Savings Plan on
behalf of the Participant for such Plan Year (the Excess Profit Sharing Benefits).
Section 3.4
Participants Accounts
. The Company shall establish and maintain on its
books an Account for each Participant which shall contain the following entries:
(a) Credits to a Basic Excess 401(k) Sub-Account for the Basic Excess 401(k) Benefits

prevented from making a Salary Deferral Contribution under the Savings Plan.
(b) Credits to an Excess Matching Sub-Account for the Excess Matching Benefits described in
Section 3.2, which shall be credited to the Sub-Account when a Participant is prevented from
receiving Matching Company Contributions under the Savings Plan.
(c) Credits to an Additional Excess 401(k) Sub-Account for the Additional Excess 401(k)
Benefits described in Section 3.1(b)(ii), which shall be credited to the Sub-Account when a
Participant is prevented from making a Salary Deferral Contribution under the Savings Plan.
(d) Credits to an Excess Profit Sharing Sub-Account for the Excess Profit Sharing Benefits
described in Section 3.3, which shall be credited to the Sub-Account at the time the

Earnings

during a Plan Year, the Excess 401(k) Sub-Account and Excess Matching Sub-Account of each
Participant shall be credited with earnings in an amount determined by multiplying such
Participants average Sub-Account balance during such month by the blended rate earned during such
month by the Fixed Income Fund. However, no earnings shall be credited for the month in which the
Participant receives a distribution from his Sub-Account.
Section 4.2
Uplift on Plan Payments
. In addition to the earnings described in Section
4.1, the balance of the Basic Excess 401(k) Sub-Account, The Excess Matching Sub-Account and the

each be increased by an additional 15%.

cause such violation.
|

|
|
Delayed Payments Due to Solvency Issues
. Notwithstanding any provision of the
Plan to the contrary, the Company shall not be required to make any payment hereunder to
any Participant or Beneficiary if the making of the payment would jeopardize the ability
of the Company to continue as a going concern; provided that any missed payment is made
during the first calendar year in which the funds of the Company are sufficient to make the
payment without jeopardizing the going concern status of the Company.
|
|
|
(c)
|
|
Key Employees
. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary,
distributions to Key Employees made on account of a Termination of Employment may not be

contrary, to the extent permitted under Code Section 409A and the Treasury Regulations
issued thereunder, payments of Sub-Accounts that are subject to Code Section 409A may be

ethics or conflicts of interest laws or agreements or (ii) to the extent necessary to pay
the FICA taxes imposed on benefits hereunder under Code Section 3101, and the income
withholding taxes related thereto. Payments may also be accelerated if the Plan (or a
portion thereof) fails to satisfy the requirements of Code Section 409A; provided that the
amount of such payment may not exceed the amount required to be included as income as a
result of the failure to comply with Code Section 409A.

ARTICLE VII
MISCELLANEOUS
Section 7.1

. Nothing in this Plan shall constitute the creation
of a trust or other fiduciary relationship between the Company and any Participant, Beneficiary or
any other person.
Section 7.2
Limitation on Rights of Participants and Beneficiaries No Lien
. The
Plan is designed to be an unfunded, nonqualified plan. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to
create a trust or lien in favor of any Participant or Beneficiary on any assets of the Company.
The Company shall have no obligation to purchase any assets that do not remain subject to the
claims of the creditors of the Company for use in connection with the Plan. No Participant or
Beneficiary or any other person shall have any preferred claim on, or any beneficial ownership
interest in, any assets of the Company prior to the time that such assets are paid to the
Participant or Beneficiary as provided herein. Each Participant and Beneficiary shall have the
status of a general unsecured creditor of the Company.
Section 7.3

guaranteeing future employment to Participants. A Participant continues to be an Employee of the
Company solely at the will of the Company subject to discharge at any time, with or without cause.
Section 7.4
Payment to Guardian
. If a Benefit payable hereunder is payable to a
minor, to a person declared incompetent or to a person incapable of handling the disposition of his
property, the Plan Administrator may direct payment of such Benefit to the guardian, legal representative or person having the care and custody of such minor, incompetent or person.
The Plan Administrator may require such proof of incompetency, minority, incapacity or guardianship
as it may deem appropriate prior to distribution of the Benefit. Such distribution shall
completely discharge the Company from all liability with respect to such Benefit.
Section 7.5
Assignment
. No right or interest under this Plan of any Participant or
Beneficiary shall be assignable or transferable in any manner or be subject to alienation,
anticipation, sale, pledge, encumbrance or other legal process or in any manner be liable for or

foregoing, the Plan Administrator shall honor a qualified domestic relations order (QDRO) from a
state domestic relations court which requires the payment of part of all or a Participants or
Beneficiarys Account under this Plan to an alternate payee as defined in Code Section 414(p).
Section 7.6
Severability
. If any provision of this Plan or the application thereof to
any circumstance(s) or person(s) is held to be invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the
remainder of the Plan and the application of such provision to other circumstances or persons shall
not be affected thereby.
Section 7.7
Effect on Other Benefits
. Benefits payable to or with respect to a
Participant under the Savings Plan or any other Company-sponsored (qualified or nonqualified) plan,

ADMINISTRATION OF PLAN
Section 8.1
Administration
. (a)
In general
. The Plan shall be administered
by the Plan Administrator. The Plan Administrator shall have sole and absolute discretion to
interpret where necessary all provisions of the Plan (including, without limitation, by supplying
omissions from, correcting deficiencies in, or resolving inconsistencies or ambiguities in, the
language of the Plan), to make factual findings with respect to any issue arising under the Plan,
to determine the rights and status under the Plan of Participants, or other persons, to resolve
questions (including factual questions) or disputes arising under the Plan and to make any
determinations with respect to the benefits payable under the Plan and the persons entitled thereto
as may be necessary for the purposes of the Plan. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Plan Administrator is hereby granted the authority (i) to determine whether a
particular employee is a Participant, and (ii) to determine if a person is entitled to Excess
Retirement Benefits hereunder and, if so, the amount and duration of such Benefits. The Plan
Administrators determination of the rights of any person hereunder shall be final and binding
on all persons, subject only to the claims procedures outlined in Section 8.3 hereof.
(b)
Delegation of Duties
. The Plan Administrator may delegate any of its
administrative duties, including, without limitation, duties with respect to the processing,
review, investigation, approval and payment of Excess Retirement Benefits, to a named administrator
or administrators.
Section 8.2
Regulations
. The Plan Administrator may promulgate any rules and
regulations it deems necessary in order to carry out the purposes of the Plan or to interpret the
provisions of the Plan; provided, however, that no rule, regulation or interpretation shall be
contrary to the provisions of the Plan. The rules, regulations and interpretations made by the
Plan Administrator shall, subject only to the claims procedure outlined in Section 8.3 hereof, be
final and binding on all persons.
Section 8.3
Claims Procedures
. The Plan Administrator shall determine the rights of
any person to any Excess Retirement Benefits hereunder. Any person who believes that he has not
received the Excess Retirement Benefits to which he is entitled under the Plan may file a claim in
writing with the Plan Administrator. The Plan Administrator shall, no later than 90 days after the
receipt of a claim (plus an additional period of 90 days if required for processing, provided that
notice of the extension of time is given to the claimant within the first 90 day period), either
allow or deny the claim in writing.
A denial of a claim by the Plan Administrator, wholly or partially, shall be written in a
manner calculated to be understood by the claimant and shall include:
|
(a)
|
|
the specific reasons for the denial;
|
-10-
|
(b)
|
|
specific reference to pertinent Plan provisions on which the
denial is based;
|
|
|
(c)
|
|
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; and
|
|
|
(d)
|
|
an explanation of the claim review procedure and the time
limits applicable thereto (including a statement of the claimants right to
bring a civil action under Section 502(a) of ERISA following an adverse benefit
determination on review).
|
A claimant whose claim is denied (or his duly authorized representative) may within 60 days
after receipt of denial of a claim file with the Plan Administrator a written request for a review
of such claim. If the claimant does not file a request for review of his claim within such 60-day
period, the claimant shall be deemed to have acquiesced in the original decision of
the Plan Administrator on his claim. If such an appeal is so filed within such 60 day period,
the Compensation Committee (or its delegate) shall conduct a full and fair review of such claim.
During such review, the claimant shall be given the opportunity to review documents that are
pertinent to his claim and to submit issues and comments in writing. For this purpose, the
Compensation Committee (or its delegate) shall have the same power to interpret the Plan and make
findings of fact thereunder as is given to the Plan Administrator under Section 8.1(a) above.
The Compensation Committee (or its delegate) shall mail or deliver to the claimant a written
decision on the matter based on the facts and the pertinent provisions of the Plan within 60 days
after the receipt of the request for review (unless special circumstances require an extension of
up to 60 additional days, in which case written notice of such extension shall be given to the
claimant prior to the commencement of such extension). Such decision shall be written in a manner
calculated to be understood by the claimant, shall state the specific reasons for the decision and
the specific Plan provisions on which the decision was based and shall, to the extent permitted by
law, be final and binding on all interested persons. In addition, the notice of adverse
determination shall also include statements that the claimant is entitled to receive, upon request
and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records and other
information relevant to the claimants claim for benefits and a statement of the claimants right
to bring a civil action under Section 502(a) of ERISA.
Section 8.4
Revocability of Action
. Any action taken by the Plan Administrator or the
Compensation Committee with respect to the rights or benefits under the Plan of any person shall
be revocable as to payments not yet made to such person. In addition, the acceptance of any
Excess Retirement Benefits under the Plan constitutes acceptance of and agreement to the Plan
making any appropriate adjustments in future payments to any person (or to recover from such
person) any excess payment or underpayment previously made to him.
Section 8.5
Amendment
. The Company (with the approval or ratification of the

, by completing an
approved deferral election form, direct his Employer to reduce his Compensation for the
next Plan Year by an amount equal to the difference between (i) a specified percentage,

the maximum Before-Tax Contributions actually permitted to be contributed for him to the
Savings Plan for such Plan Year by reason of the application of the limitations under Code

Classification of Excess 401(k) Benefits

the Basic Excess 401(k) Benefits and the Additional Excess 401(k) Benefits as follows:
|
4
|
(i)

The Basic Excess 401(k) Benefits shall be determined by multiplying each Excess
401(k) Benefit by a fraction, the numerator of which is the lesser of the percentage of
Compensation elected to be deferred in the deferral election form for such Plan Year or
5% and the denominator of which is the percentage of Compensation elected to be
deferred; and
|
|
|
(ii)
|
|
The Additional Excess 401(k) Benefits (if any) shall be determined by
multiplying such Excess 401(k) Benefit by a fraction, the numerator of which is the
excess (if any) of (1) the percentage of Compensation elected to be deferred in the
deferral election form for such Plan Year over (2) 5%, and the denominator of which is
the percentage of Compensation elected to be deferred.
|
|
|
(iii)

|
The Basic Excess 401(k) Benefits shall be credited to the Basic Excess 401(k)
Sub-Account under this Plan and the Additional Excess 401(k) Benefits shall be credited
to the Additional Excess 401(k) Sub-Account hereunder. The Basic and Additional Excess

. Any direction by a Participant to defer
Compensation under Subsection (a) shall be effective with respect to Compensation otherwise
payable to the Participant during the Plan Year for which the deferral election form is
effective, and the Participant shall not be eligible to receive such Compensation.
Instead, such amounts shall be credited to the Participants Excess 401(k) Sub-Account
hereunder. Any such direction shall be irrevocable with respect to Compensation earned for
such Plan Year, but shall have no effect on Compensation that is earned in subsequent Plan
Years. A new deferral election will be required for each Plan Year.
|
Section 3.02
Excess Matching Benefits
. A Participant shall have credited to his Excess
Matching Sub-Account an amount equal to the Matching Contributions attributable to his Basic Excess
401(k) Benefits that he is prevented from receiving under the Savings Plan because of the
limitations imposed under Code Sections 402(g), 401(a)(17), 401(k)(3), 401(m) and 415 or as a
result of his deferral of Compensation under this Plan (the Excess Matching Benefits). .
Section 3.03
Excess Profit Sharing Benefits
. Effective for Plan Years commencing on or
after January 1, 2008, each Employer shall credit to a Sub-Account (the Excess Profit Sharing
Sub-Account) established for each Participant who is an Employee of such Employer, an amount equal
to
the excess, if any, of
(i) the amount of the Employers Profit Sharing Contribution that
would have been made to the Savings Plan on behalf of the Participant for a Plan Year if (1) such

on the Profit Sharing Contributions provided to Highly Compensated Employees and (2) the term
Compensation (as defined in Section 2.06 hereof) were used for purposes of determining the amount

Participant for such Plan Year (the Excess Profit Sharing Benefits).

the payment without jeopardizing the going concern status of the Employer.

Employers (by reimbursement to the Employer making such payment) as may be agreed to among them in
good faith (taking into consideration the Participants service and Compensation paid by each such
Employer) and as will permit the deduction (for purposes of federal income tax) by each such
Employer of its portion of the payments made and to be made hereunder. Expenses of administering
the Plan shall be paid by the Employers, as directed by the Company.

absence of such a designation and at any other time when there is no existing Beneficiary
designated hereunder, the Beneficiary of a Participant for his Excess Retirement Benefits shall be
the estate of the last to die of the Participant and his Beneficiaries. If two or more persons
designated as a Participants Beneficiary are in existence with respect to a single Sub-Account,
the amount of any payment to the Beneficiary under this Plan shall be divided equally among such
persons unless the Participants designation specifically provides for a different allocation. Any
change in Beneficiary shall be made by giving written notice thereof to the Plan
8
Administrator and any change shall be effective only if received by the Plan Administrator prior to
the death of the Participant.

designed to be an unfunded, nonqualified plan. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to create
a trust or lien in favor of any Participant or Beneficiary on any assets of an Employer. The
Employers shall have no obligation to purchase any assets that do not remain subject to the claims
of the creditors of the Employers for use in connection with the Plan. No Participant or
Beneficiary or any other person shall have any preferred claim on, or any beneficial ownership
interest in, any assets of an Employer prior to the time that such assets are paid to the
Participant or Beneficiary as provided herein. Each Participant and Beneficiary shall have the

Payment to Guardian
. If a Benefit payable hereunder is payable to a minor, to
a person declared incompetent or to a person incapable of handling the disposition of his property,
the Plan Administrator may direct payment of such Benefit to the guardian, legal representative or
person having the care and custody of such minor, incompetent or person. The Plan Administrator
may require such proof of incompetency, minority, incapacity or guardianship as it may deem
appropriate prior to distribution of the Benefit. Such distribution shall completely discharge the
Employers from all liability with respect to such Benefit.

alternate payee as defined in Code Section 414(p).

Section 8.06
Severability
. If any provision of this Plan or the application thereof to any
circumstance(s) or person(s) is held to be invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the
remainder of the Plan and the application of such provision to other circumstances or persons shall
not be affected thereby.
Section 8.07

Employer under the Savings Plan may adopt this Plan with the consent of the Benefits Committee by
executing an instrument evidencing its adoption of this Plan on the order of its Board of Directors
(or the applicable committee of such Board of Directors) (or its delegate) and filing a copy
thereof with the Company. Such adoption may be subject to such terms and conditions as the
Benefits Committee requires or approves. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Employer that
previously adopted The North American Coal Corporation Deferred Compensation Plan for Management

behalf of such Employer.

(b)
Change of Beneficiaries
. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Participant may at
any time and from time to time, before and after retirement, change his Beneficiary hereunder
without the consent of any existing Beneficiary or any other person. Therefore, the Beneficiary
under the Plan need not be the same as the Beneficiary under the Pension Plan. However, as
described in Subsection (c) of this Section, the Beneficiary under the Pension Plan shall be used
as the measuring life for purposes of the amount and duration of the Supplemental Retirement
Benefits payable to any Beneficiary hereunder. The change of a Beneficiary under the Plan may be
made, and may be revoked, only by an instrument (in a form acceptable to the Company) signed by the
Participant and filed with the Plan Administrator prior to the Participants death. If two or more
persons designated as a Participants Beneficiary are in existence, the amount of any payment to
the Beneficiary under this Plan shall be divided equally among such persons unless the
Participants designation specifically provided to the contrary.
(c)
Effect of Change of Beneficiary
. Supplemental Retirement Benefits shall be
payable to a Beneficiary hereunder only so long as Actual Pension Plan Benefits are being paid to
the Beneficiary under the Pension Plan. In the event that the Beneficiary hereunder is different
than the Beneficiary under the Pension Plan, (i) if the Beneficiary hereunder dies after the
Participant but while the Beneficiary under the Pension Plan is still living, any remaining
payments hereunder shall be payable, as they come due, to the estate of the Beneficiary hereunder
or, if applicable, to the contingent Beneficiary designated hereunder by the Participant, (ii) if
the Beneficiary hereunder predeceases the Beneficiary under the Pension Plan and the Participant,
the Beneficiary hereunder shall revert to the Beneficiary last effectively designated under the
Pension Plan unless and until the Participant again makes a change of Beneficiary pursuant to
Subsection (b) above, and (iii) if the Beneficiary under the Pension Plan predeceases the
Beneficiary hereunder, Supplemental Retirement Payments hereunder shall cease.

(d)
Community Property States
. In states with community property laws, a Participant
may designate someone other than his Spouse as his Beneficiary hereunder to the extent of such
Spouses community property interest in the Supplemental Retirement Payments, or revoke or change
his Beneficiary designation hereunder to such extent, only with the consent of his Spouse. To the
extent necessary, the provisions of this Subsection (d) shall apply to each person who is or was a
Spouse of a Participant regardless of whether the Participant and such person are married at the
applicable time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, a Participants present or former Spouse
shall have no greater rights under this Plan than such Spouse has pursuant to the applicable state

Benefit and shall be paid at the later of the date of the Participants Termination of Employment
or the date the Participant attains age 55. Such lump sum amount shall be calculated by using the
Applicable Mortality Table and an interest rate equal to the Applicable Interest Rate, both as in
effect on January 1 of the Plan Year in which the distribution is made. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Non-Grandfathered Benefit of a Participant who incurred a Termination of Employment
prior to January 1, 2008 and who did not go into pay status on or before December 31, 2007 shall be
paid in the form of an Actuarial Equivalent lump sum payment during the period from January 1, 2008
through March 31, 2008 (subject to Subsection (7) hereof) using the Applicable Interest Rate and
Applicable Mortality Table in effect for the 2007 Plan Year.
(3)
Cash-Out of Grandfathered Small Benefits
. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the
present value of a Participants or Beneficiarys Grandfathered Supplemental Retirement Benefit
hereunder at the time of the Participants Termination of Employment is $10,000 or less, such
Benefit shall be paid as soon as practicable following such Termination in a lump sum that is the
Actuarial Equivalent of such Benefit. Such $10,000 amount shall be calculated using the Applicable
Mortality Table and an interest rate equal to the Applicable Interest Rate in effect on January 1
of the Plan Year in which such Participant incurred a Termination of Employment.
(4)
Time of Payment/Processing.
All payments under the Plan shall be made on, or
within 90 days of, the specified payment date.
(5)
Payments Violating Applicable Law.
Notwithstanding any provision of the
Plan to the contrary, the payment of all or any portion of the amounts payable hereunder
will be deferred to the extent that the Company reasonably anticipates that the making of
such payment would violate Federal securities laws or other applicable law (provided that
the making of a payment that would cause income taxes or penalties under the Code shall not
be treated as a violation of applicable law). The deferred amount shall become payable at
the earliest date at which the Company reasonably anticipates that making the payment will
not cause such violation.
(6)
Delayed Payments due to Solvency Issues
. Notwithstanding any provision of
the Plan to the contrary, an Employer shall not be required to make any payment hereunder to
any Participant or Beneficiary if the making of the payment would jeopardize the ability of
the Employer to continue as a going concern; provided that any missed payment is made during
the first calendar year in which the funds of the Employer are sufficient to make the
payment without jeopardizing the going concern status of the Employer.
(7)
Key Employees
. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary,
distributions of Non-Grandfathered Supplemental Retirement Benefits to Key Employees made on
account of a Termination of Employment may not be made before the 1
st
day of the
7
th
month following such Termination of Employment (or, if earlier, the date of
death) except for payments made on account of (i) a QDRO (as specified in
9
Section 3.1(2)) or (ii) a conflict of interest or the payment of FICA taxes (as specified in
Subsection (8) below). Any amounts that are otherwise payable to the Key Employee during
such period shall be accumulated and paid in a lump sum make-up payment within 10 days
following the 1
st
day of the 7
th
month following the Key Employees
Termination of Employment.
(8)
Acceleration of Payments
. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to
the contrary, to the extent permitted under Code Section 409A and the Treasury Regulations
issued thereunder, payments of Non-Grandfathered Supplemental Retirement Benefits hereunder
may be accelerated (i) to the extent necessary to comply with federal, state, local or
foreign ethics or conflicts of interest laws or agreements or (ii) to the extent necessary
to pay the FICA taxes imposed on benefits hereunder under Code Section 3101, and the income
withholding taxes related thereto. Payments may also be accelerated if the Plan (or a
portion thereof) fails to satisfy the requirements of Code Section 409A; provided that the
amount of such payment may not exceed the amount required to be included as income as a
result of the failure to comply with Code Section 409A.
Section 3.5
Liability for Payment
.
(1) The Employer by which the Participant was employed at the time of his Termination of
Employment with the Controlled Group shall process and pay the Supplemental Retirement Benefit to
the Participant and/or his Beneficiary, but such Employers liability hereunder shall be limited to
its proportionate share of such Supplemental Retirement Benefit, determined as hereinafter
provided. If the benefits payable to the Participant and/or his Beneficiary under a Pension Plan
are based on the Participants employment with more than one Employer, the amount of the
Supplemental Retirement Benefit shall be shared by all such Employers (by reimbursement to the
Employer making such payment) as may be agreed to between them in good faith, taking into
consideration the Participants Benefit Service and Compensation paid by each such Employer and as
will permit the deduction (for purposes of federal income taxes) by each such Employer of its
portion of the payments made and to be made hereunder.
(2) The liabilities of the Employers hereunder shall be several liabilities and no Employer
shall be liable for the default of any other Employer hereunder, even though it has, for
convenience of administration, agreed to pay directly to the Participant or Beneficiary the entire
Supplemental Retirement Benefit as provided in Subsection (1) of this Section.

60-days, a named fiduciary designated by the Compensation Committee shall (a) conduct a full and
fair review of such claim and (b) mail or deliver to the Claimant a written decision on the matter

which case such decision shall be rendered not later than 120 days after receipt of such request.
If an extension of time for review is required, written notice of the extension shall be furnished
to the Claimant prior to the commencement of the extension. Such decision (a) shall be written in
a manner calculated to be understood by the Claimant, (b) shall state the specific reason(s) for
the decision, (c) shall make specific reference(s) to pertinent provisions of the Plan on which the

ratification of the Benefits Committee) does hereby reserve the right to amend, at any time, any or
all of the provisions of the Plan for all Employers, without the consent of any other Employer or

Company and shall become effective as of the date designated in such instrument, or if no date is
specified, on the date of its execution. Any other Employer that has adopted the Plan may, with
the written consent of the Compensation Committee, elect separately to withdraw from the Plan and

Beneficiary as such Benefit exists on the date of such amendment or termination.
(2) Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, in the event of a termination
of the Plan (or any portion thereof), the Company, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall have
the right to (i) change the time and/or manner of distribution of Grandfathered Supplemental
Retirement Benefits, including, without limitation, by providing for the payment of a single lump
sum payment to each Executive or Beneficiary then entitled to a Grandfathered Supplemental
Retirement Benefit in an amount equal to the Actuarial Equivalent of such Benefit and (ii) change

thereunder. Such lump sum amount shall be calculated by using the Applicable Mortality Table and
an interest rate equal to the Applicable Interest Rate, both as in effect on January 1 of the Plan
Year in which the distribution is made.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has executed this restatement this 14

Granting of Awards for the 2007 Award Term
The Committee may authorize the granting of Awards to Participants for the 2007 Award Term,
which shall be not inconsistent with, and shall be subject to all of the requirements of, the
following provisions:
(a) Not later than the ninetieth day of the 2007 Award Term, the Committee approved (i) a
Target Award to be granted to each Participant for such year and (ii) a formula for determining the
amount of each 2007 Award, which formula is based upon the Companys return on total capital
employed for the 2007 Award Term.
(b) Effective no later than April 1, 2008, the Committee shall approve (i) a preliminary
calculation of the amount of each Award based upon the application of the formula (as in effect at
the calculation date) and actual Company performance to the Target Awards previously determined in
accordance with Section 8(a) and (ii) a final calculation of the amount of each Award to be granted
to each Participant for the 2007 Award Term
6
(which Award shall have a Grant Date of 1/1/08). The
Committee shall have the power increase or decrease the
amount of any Award above or below the amount determined in accordance with the foregoing
provisions; provided, however, no 2007 Award, including any Award equal to the Target Award, shall
be payable under the Plan to any Participant except as determined by the Committee.
(c) Calculations of Target Awards for the 2007 Award Term shall initially be based on a
Participants Hay Salary Grade as of January 1, 2007. However, Target Awards may be changed during
or after the Award Term under the following circumstances: (i) if a Participant receives a change
in Hay Salary Grade, salary midpoint and/or long-term incentive compensation target percentage,
such change will be reflected in a pro-rata Target Award, (ii) employees hired into or promoted to
a position eligible to participate in the Plan (as specified in Section 6 above) during an Award
Term will, if designated as a Plan Participant by the Committee, be assigned a pro-rated Target
Award based on their length of service during an Award Term and (iii) the Committee may increase or
decrease the amount of the Target Award at any time, in its sole and absolute discretion. In order
to be eligible to receive an Award for the 2007 Award Term, the Participant must be employed by the
Employers and must be a Participant on December 31, 2007. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a
Participant dies, becomes Disabled or Retires during the 2007 Award Term, the Participant shall be
entitled to a pro-rata portion of the Award for such Award Term.
(d) The 2007 Award shall be denominated in U.S. dollars. Upon approval by the Committee, the
Award shall be retroactively credited to the Participants 2008 Sub-Account as of January 1, 2008.
Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the maximum cash value of the Awards granted to a
Participant under this Plan for the 2007 Award Term shall not exceed $2,250,000 or such lower
amount specified in the Guidelines.

Termination of Employment as a result of becoming Disabled or Retirement prior to the

Interest

Participants. No interest shall be credited to the 2004 or 2005 Sub-Accounts of the Non-Frozen
Participants who are not Covered
8
Employees. The remaining Sub-Accounts of the Non-Frozen Participants (including the 2004 and 2005
Sub-Accounts of the Covered Employees) shall be credited with interest as follows. At the end of
each month during a calendar year, such Sub-Accounts of the Non-Frozen Participants shall be
credited with an amount
determined by multiplying the Participants average Sub-Account balance during such month by the
blended rate earned during such month by the Fixed Income Fund. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in
the event the ROTCE Table Rate determined for such calendar year exceeds the Fixed Income Fund
rate, such Sub-Accounts shall be retroactively credited with the difference (if any) between (i)
the ROTCE Table Rate and (ii) the Fixed Income Fund Rate, compounded monthly. In the event that a
Non-Frozen Participant incurs a Termination of Employment or becomes eligible for a payment from a
Sub-Account hereunder, the foregoing interest calculations shall be made as of the last day of the
month immediately preceding the date of Termination of Employment or the payment date (as
applicable) and shall be based on (i) the blended rate earned during the preceding month by the
Fixed Income Fund and/or (ii) the year-to-date ROTCE Table Rate as of such date, as calculated by
the Company, as applicable. No additional interest shall be credited to such Sub-Accounts,
except as described in Section 10(d)(ii) with respect to delayed payments made to Key Employees on
account of a Termination of Employment. The Committee may change the interest rate credited on
Accounts at any time. The Committee may change (or suspend) the interest rate credited on
Accounts hereunder at any time.
(c)
Payment Date, Form of Payment and Amount
.
(i)
Payment Date and Form
. The Participants Employer shall deliver to the
Participant (or, if applicable, his Beneficiary), a check in full payment of each Sub-Account
hereunder within 90 days of the applicable Maturity Date of such Sub-Account; provided,
however, that in the event of a Change in Control, such payments shall be made within 30 days
prior to, or within two (2) business days after, the Change in Control, as determined by the
Committee.
(ii)
Amount
. Each Participant shall be paid the full value of each Sub-Account
;
provided, however, that if a Participant who incurs a Termination of Employment on account of
Disability or Retirement is a Key Employee whose payment is delayed until the 1
st
day of the 7
th
month following such Termination of Employment, such Participants
Sub-Accounts shall continue to be credited with interest (at the Fixed Income Fund rate) from
the date of such Termination of Employment through the last day of the month prior to the
actual payment date. Any amounts that would otherwise be payable to the Key Employee prior to
the 1
st
day of the 7
th
month following Termination of Employment shall
be accumulated and paid in a lump sum make-up payment within 10 days following such delayed
payment date. Amounts that are payable to Participants who are employed by Employers who are
not located in the United States
9
shall be converted from U.S. dollars to local currency using
the applicable conversion rate in effect on the date the payment is processed.

not be entitled to make any deferral elections hereunder. In addition, any deferral elections
previously made under any prior
version of the Plan are hereby null and void and no longer effective as of such date;

established for the Participant under The Hamilton Beach Brands, Inc. Unfunded Benefit Plan
,
such
amount shall be paid in accordance with the terms of such plan, as in effect from time to time.
11.
Amendment, Termination and Adjustments
(a) The Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion, may alter or amend this Plan from time
to time; provided, however, that no such amendment shall, without the written consent of a
Participant, (i) reduce a Participants Account balance as in effect on the date of the amendment,
(ii) reduce the amount of any outstanding Award or any Award Units as in effect on the date of the
amendment or (iii) alter the time of payment provisions described in Section 10 of the Plan except
for any amendments that accelerate the time of payment as permitted under Code Section 409A or are
required to bring such provisions into compliance with the requirements of Code Section 409A and
the regulations issued thereunder.
(b) The Plan shall automatically terminate when the last Participant receives the last
remaining distribution from his Account hereunder. In addition, the Committee, in its sole and
absolute discretion, may terminate this Plan (or any portion thereof) at any earlier time; provided

Participants Account balance as in effect on the date of the termination, (ii) reduce the amount
of any outstanding Award or any Award Units as in effect on the date of the termination or (iii)
alter the time of payment provisions described in Section 10 of the Plan, except for any
termination that accelerates the time of payment in a manner permitted under Code Section 409A.

any right to continue in the employ of the Employers, or shall in any way affect the right and
power of the Employers to terminate the
10
employment of any employee at any time with or without
assigning a reason therefor to the same extent as the Employers might have done if this Plan had
not been adopted.
(b)
Governing Law

accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, except when preempted by federal law.
(c)

.
|
|

secure payment of such benefits. This Plan represents only an unfunded, unsecured
promise to pay by the Employer or former Employer of the Participant, and the
Participants and Beneficiaries are merely unsecured creditors of the Participants
Employer or former Employer.
|
(g)
Payment to Guardian
. If an Award or Sub-Account balance is payable to a minor, to
a person declared incompetent or to a person incapable of handling the disposition of his property,
the Committee may direct payment of such Award and/or Sub-Account to the guardian, legal
representative or person having the care and custody of such minor, incompetent or person. The
Committee may require such proof of incompetency, minority, incapacity or guardianship as it may
deem appropriate prior to the distribution of such Award/Sub-Account. Such distribution shall
completely discharge the Employers from all liability with respect to such Award/Sub-Account.
11
(h)
Miscellaneous
.
(i)
Headings
. Headings are given to the sections of this Plan solely as a
convenience to facilitate reference. Such headings, numbering and paragraphing shall not in

provisions thereof.

(iii)
Acceleration of Payments
. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the
contrary, to the extent permitted under Code Section 409A and the Treasury regulations issued
thereunder, payments of amounts due hereunder may be accelerated to the extent necessary to
(i) comply with federal, state, local or foreign ethics or conflicts of interest laws or
agreements or (ii) pay the FICA taxes imposed under Code Section 3101, and the income
withholding taxes related thereto. Payments may also be accelerated if the Plan (or a portion
thereof) fails to satisfy the requirements of Code Section 409A; provided that the amount of

failure to comply with Code Section 409A.
(iv)
Delayed Payments due to Solvency Issues.

the Plan to the contrary, an Employer shall not be required to make any payment hereunder to
any Participant or Beneficiary if the making of the payment would jeopardize the ability of
the Employer to continue as a going concern; provided that any missed payment is made during
the first calendar year in which the funds of the Employer are sufficient to make the payment
without jeopardizing the going concern status of the Employer.
(v)
Payments Violating Applicable Law

Plan to the contrary, the payment of all or any portion of the amounts payable hereunder will
be deferred to the extent that the Company reasonably anticipates that the making of such
payment would violate Federal securities laws or other applicable law (provided that the
making of a payment that would cause income taxes or penalties under the Code shall not be
treated as a violation of applicable law). The deferred amount shall become payable at the
earliest date at which the Company reasonably anticipates that making the payment will not
cause such violation.
12
13.
Liability of Employers.
The Employers shall each be liable for the payment of the

Granting of Awards for the 2007 Award Year.
|
The Committee may authorize the granting of Awards to Participants for the 2007 Award Year,
which shall be not inconsistent with, and shall be subject to all of the requirements of, the
following provisions:
(a) Not later than the ninetieth day of the 2007 Award Year, the Committee approved (i) a
Target Award to be granted to each Participant for such Award Year and (ii) a formula for
determining the amount of each 2007 Award, which formula is based upon the Companys average return
on total capital employed for such 2007 Award Year.
(b) Effective no later than April 1, 2008, the Committee shall approve:
(i) a preliminary calculation of the amount of each Award based upon the application of
the formula (as in effect at the calculation date) and actual Company performance to the
Target Awards previously determined in accordance with Section 8(a); and
(ii) a final calculation of the amount of each Award to be granted to each Participant
for the 2007 Award Year(which Award shall have a Grant Date of 1/1/08) . The Committee shall
have the power to increase or decrease the amount of any Award above or below the amount
determined in accordance with the foregoing provisions; provided, however, no 2007 Award,
including any Award equal to the Target Award, shall be payable under the Plan to any
Participant except as determined by the Committee.
(c) Calculations of Target Awards for the 2007 Award Year shall initially be based on a
Participants Hay Salary Grade as January 1, 2007. However such Target Awards may be changed
during or after the 2007 Award Year under the following circumstances: (i) if a Participant
receives a change in Hay Salary Grade, salary midpoint and/or long-term incentive compensation
target percentage, such change will be reflected in a pro-rata Target Award, (ii) employees hired
into or promoted to a position eligible to participate in the Plan (as
specified in Section 6
above) during an Award Year will, if designated as a Plan Participant by the Committee, be assigned
a pro-rated Target Award based on their length of service during 2007 and (iii) the Committee may
increase or decrease the amount of the Target Award at any time, in its sole and absolute
discretion. In order to be eligible to receive an Award for the 2007 Award Year, the Participant
must be employed by the Company and must be a Participant on December 31, 2007; provided, however,
that if a Participant dies, becomes Disabled or Retires during 2007, the Participant shall be
entitled to a pro-rata portion of the Award for such Award Year, based on the number of days the
Participant was actually employed by the Company during the 2007 Award Year.
(d) After approval by the Compensation Committee, the 2007 Award shall be credited to the
Participants 2008 Sub-Account retroactively as of January 1, 2008. Notwithstanding any other
provision of the Plan, the maximum cash value of the Awards granted to a Participant under this
Plan for the 2007 Award Year shall not exceed $250,000 or such lower amount specified in the
Guidelines.
(e) Multiple Awards may be granted to a Participant; provided, however, that no two Awards to
a Participant may have identical performance periods.
All Awards granted hereunder shall be immediately 100% vested as of the Grant Date.
Participants shall be 100% vested in all amounts credited to their Accounts hereunder.

the contrary, or any prior deferral election made by the Participants, hereunder, the
Maturity Date for each of the Participants Sub-Accounts shall be as follows:
|
|
|
Sub-Account
|
|
Maturity Date
|
Pre-2006 Sub-Account
|
|
January 1, 2008
|
2007 Sub-Account
|
|
January 1, 2010
|
2008 Sub-Account

|
(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) in the event a Participant dies prior to the
applicable Maturity Date, the Maturity Date of the Participants entire Account balance shall
be the date of such Participants death, (B) in the event of a Change in Control prior to the
applicable Maturity Date, the Maturity Date of the Participants entire Account balance shall
be the date of the Change in Control and (C) in the event a Participant incurs a Termination
of Employment as a result of becoming Disabled or Retirement prior to the applicable Maturity
Date, the Maturity Date of the Participants entire Account balance shall be the date of his
Disability or Retirement; provided, however, that if a Participant who incurs a Termination
of Employment on account of Disability or Retirement is a Key Employee, the Participants
Maturity Date shall be the 1
st
day of the 7
th
month following the date
of his Termination of Employment (or, if earlier, the date of the Participants death).
(b)
Interest
. No interest shall be credited to the Sub-Accounts of the Frozen
Participants. No interest shall be credited to the Pre-2006 Sub-Accounts of the Non-Frozen
Participants. The 2007 and 2008 Sub-Accounts of the Non-Frozen Participants shall be credited with
interest as follows. At the end of each calendar month during the year, the 2007 and 2008
Sub-Accounts of each Non-Frozen Participant shall be credited with an amount determined by
multiplying the Participants average Sub-Account balance during such month by the blended rate
earned during such month by the Fixed Income Fund. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the
ROTCE Table Rate determined for such calendar year exceeds the Fixed Income Fund rate, such
Sub-Accounts shall be retroactively credited with the difference (if any) between (i) the ROTCE
Table Rate and (ii) the Fixed Income Fund Rate, compounded monthly. In the event that a Non-Frozen
Participant incurs a Termination of Employment or becomes eligible for a payment from a Sub-Account
hereunder, the foregoing interest calculations shall be made as of the last day of the month
immediately preceding the date of Termination of Employment or the payment date (as applicable) and
shall be based on (i) the blended rate earned during the preceding month by the Fixed Income Fund
and/or (ii) the year-to-date ROTCE Table Rate as of such date, as calculated by the Company, as
applicable. No additional interest shall be credited to such Sub-Accounts, except as described in
Section 10(d)(ii) with respect to delayed payments made to Key Employees on account of a
Termination of Employment. The Committee may change (or suspend) the interest rate credited on
Accounts at any time.
(c)
Payment Date, Form of Payment and Amount
.
(i)
Payment Date and Form
. The Company shall deliver to the Participant (or, if
applicable, his Beneficiary), a check in full payment of the Pre-2006 Sub-Account by March

applicable Maturity Date of such Sub-Accounts; provided, however, that in the event of a
Change in Control, such payments shall be made within 30 days prior to, or within two (2)
business days after, the Change in Control, as determined by the Committee.
(ii)

If a Participant who incurs a Termination of Employment on account of Disability or
Retirement is a Key Employee whose payment is delayed until the 1
st
day of the
7
th
month following such Termination of Employment, such Participants
Sub-Accounts shall continue to be credited with interest (at the Fixed Income Fund rate)
through the last day of the month prior to the actual payment date. Any amounts that would
otherwise be payable to the Key Employee prior to the 1
st
day of the
7
th
month following Termination of Employment shall be accumulated and paid in a
lump sum make-up payment within 10 days following such delayed payment date.

not be entitled to make any deferral elections hereunder. In addition, any deferral elections
previously made under any prior version of the Plan are hereby null and void and no longer
effective as of such date; provided, however, that if the cash value of any prior Awards was
previously credited to an account established for the Participant under The Kitchen Collection,

(b) The Plan shall automatically terminate when the last Participant receives the last
remaining distribution from his Account hereunder. In addition, the Committee, in its sole and
absolute discretion, may terminate this Plan in its entirety at any earlier time; provided that,

(a)
No Right of Employment
. Neither the adoption or operation of this Plan, nor any
document describing or referring to this Plan, or any part thereof, shall confer upon any employee
any right to continue in the employ of the Company, or shall in any way affect the right and power
of the Company to terminate the employment of any employee at any time with or without assigning a
reason therefor to the same extent as the Company might have done if this Plan had not been
adopted.
(b)
Governing Law
. The provisions of this Plan shall be governed by and construed in

however, that upon the death of a Participant the right to the amounts payable hereunder shall
be paid to the Participants Beneficiary.

tax required by any governmental authority to be withheld and paid over to such governmental
authority for the account of the person entitled to such payment.
(f)
Limitation on Rights of Participants; No Trust.
No trust has been created by the Company for the payment of any benefits under this
Plan; nor have the Participants been granted any lien on any assets of the Company to

promise to pay by the Company, and the Participants and Beneficiaries are merely
unsecured creditors of the Company.

to a person declared incompetent or to a person incapable of handling the disposition of his
property, the Committee may direct payment of such Award and/or Sub-Account to the guardian, legal

deem appropriate prior to the distribution of such Award or Sub-Account. Such distribution shall

earliest date at which the Company reasonably anticipates that making the payment will not

immediately 100 percent vested in the event (i) of such Participants death or Disability while

through December 31, 2007 or (iii) of such Participants Separation From Service with the Employers
at or after age 55 with at least 10 years of service or at or after age 65 (i.e., retirement). In

|

the date of a Participants Separation From Service for death,
Disability or retirement (as defined above); provided, however, that if the

st

designated beneficiaries (or, if none, his estate) a check in full payment of the amount
represented by the Participants vested interest in his VAP Account. The Employer by which the
Participant was last employed prior to the payment date of the VAP Account shall be liable for the
payment of such Account to or on behalf of such Participant, but such Employers liability shall be
limited to its proportionate share of such amount, as hereinafter provided. If the Awards that
were credited to a Participants VAP Account are based on the Participants employment with more
than one Employer, the liability for such payment shall be shared by all such
-5-
Employers (by reimbursement to the Employer making such payment(s)) as determined by the
Company (taking into consideration the Participants service and compensation paid by each such
Employer) and as will permit the income tax deduction by each such Employer of its portion of the
payments made and to be made hereunder.
(c) The amounts payable under this Plan shall be calculated based on the value of the VAP
Account as of the date of payment.
(d) There shall be deducted from each payment the amount of any tax required by any
governmental authority to be withheld and paid by the Employer to such governmental authority for
the account of the person entitled to such payment.
No right or interest under this Plan of any Participant or beneficiary shall be assignable or

Participant or beneficiary.

discretion, may alter or amend this Plan from time to time; provided, however, that no such
amendment shall, without the consent of a Participant, reduce the value of the Participants VAP

the Plan).
(b) The Committee has taken action to terminate this Plan effective December 31, 2007. A
Participants VAP Account shall be paid as specified in Section 6.2 hereof.
(c) Any amendment or termination of the Plan shall be in the form of a written instrument
approved and adopted on the order of the Committee or the Board of Directors of the

instrument or, if no such date is specified, on the date of its adoption.
(a)
Expenses
. Expenses of administering the Plan shall be paid by the Employers, as
directed by the Company.
(b)
No Guarantee of Employment
. Neither the adoption or operation of this Plan, nor
any document describing or referring to the Plan, or any part thereof, shall confer upon any
employee any right to continue in the employ of an Employer, or shall in any way affect the right
and power of an Employer to terminate the employment of any employee at any time with or without
assigning a reason therefore to the same extent as the Employer might have done if this Plan had
not been adopted.
(c)
Applicable Law
. The provisions of the Plan shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, except when pre-empted by Federal law.
(d)
Payment to Guardian
. If an Account is payable to a minor, to a person declared
incompetent or to a person incapable of handling the disposition of his property, the Committee may
direct payment of such Account to the guardian, legal representative or person having the care and
custody of such minor, incompetent or person. The Committee may require such proof of
incompetency, minority, incapacity or guardianship as it may deem appropriate prior to the
distribution of such Account. Such distribution shall completely discharge the Employer from all
liability with respect to such Account.
(e)
Limitation on Rights of Participants; No Lien
. No trust has been created by the
Employers for the payment of VAP Accounts under this Plan; nor have the Participants been granted
any lien on any assets of the Employers to secure payment of such benefits. This Plan
-7-
represents only an unfunded, unsecured promise to pay by the Employers, and each Participant
is an unsecured creditor of his Employer.
(f)
Headings/Construction
. Headings are given to the sections of the Plan solely as a
convenience to facilitate reference. Such headings, numbering and paragraphing shall not in any
case be deemed in any way material or relevant to the construction of the Plan or any provisions
thereof. The use of the masculine gender shall also include within its meaning the feminine. The
use of the singular shall also include with its meaning the plural, and vise versa. If any
provision of this Plan or the application thereof to any circumstance or person is held to be
invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remainder of the Plan and the application of such
provision to other circumstances or persons shall not be affected thereby
(g)
Acceleration of Payments
. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the
contrary, to the extent permitted under Code Section 409A and the Treasury Regulations issued
thereunder, payments of Accounts hereunder may be accelerated (i) to the extent necessary to comply
with federal, state, local or foreign ethics or conflicts of interest laws or agreements, (ii) to
the extent necessary to pay the FICA taxes imposed under Code Section 3101, and the income
withholding taxes related thereto or (iii) if the Plan (or a portion thereof) fails to satisfy the
requirements of Code Section 409A; provided that the amount of such payment may not exceed the
amount required to be included as income as a result of the failure to comply with Code Section
409A.
(h)
Delayed Payments due to Solvency Issues.
Notwithstanding any provision of the
Plan to the contrary, an Employer shall not be required to make any payment hereunder to any
Participant or beneficiary if the making of the payment would jeopardize the ability of the
Employer to continue as a going concern; provided that any missed payment is made during the
-8-
first calendar year in which the funds of the Employer are sufficient to make the payment
without jeopardizing the going concern status of the Employer.
(i)
Payments Violating Applicable Law
. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to
the contrary, the payment of all or any portion of the amounts payable hereunder will be deferred
to the extent that the Employer reasonably anticipates that the making of such payment would
violate Federal securities laws or other applicable law (provided that the making of a payment that
would cause income taxes or penalties under the Code shall not be treated as a violation of
applicable law). The deferred amount shall become payable at the earliest date at which the
Employer reasonably anticipates that making the payment will not cause such violation.
The original effective date of this Plan was January 1, 2000. This amendment and restatement
is effective as of December 1, 2007.

provisions, the non-vested portion of the VAP Account shall terminate and be forfeited.

|

the termination of this Plan pursuant to Section 9, to the
extent permitted by Code Section 409A.
|

the applicable payment date specified in Subsection (b) above; provided, however, that in the event
of a Change in Control, such payment shall be made within 30 days prior to, or 2 days after, such
Change in Control. The Participants Employer shall deliver to the Participant or, if applicable,

payment of such Account to or on behalf of such Participant, but such Employers liability shall be
limited to its proportionate share of such Account, as hereinafter provided. If the Award(s) that

made hereunder.
(d) The amounts payable under this Plan shall be calculated as of a valuation date determined
by the Committee, and in the absence of such determination, shall be calculated based on the value

Forfeiture/Account Adjustments
. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Plan, (a) in the event a Participant shall intentionally commit an act materially
adverse to the interests of the Employers, and the Board of Directors of the Company or the
Committee shall so find, any outstanding Award shall be deemed to have terminated at the time of
such act and his interest in his VAP Account shall immediately be terminated and forfeited and (b)
the Committee shall have the sole and absolute discretion to reduce a Participants vested interest
in his VAP Account, in the event the Committee determines that an adjustment is required to be made
under Section 9(e) hereof (provided, however, that the Committee shall not have the discretion to
reduce the amount of, or obtain repayment of, any Award that was previously paid to a Participant
hereunder).
No Award payable to an employee under this Plan shall be transferable by him for any reason
whatsoever; provided, however, that the right to the proceeds of an Award which are payable upon
vesting pursuant to Section 6.2 may be transferred by will or the laws of descent and distribution.
No right or interest of a Participant or Beneficiary in a VAP Account hereunder shall be
assignable or transferable in any manner or be subject to alienation, anticipation, sale, pledge,
encumbrance or other legal process or in any manner be liable for or subject to the debts or
liabilities of the Participant or beneficiary.
(a) The Company shall maintain an account (VAP Account) on its books and records in the name
of each Participant to reflect the Participants interest under this Plan. The VAP Account of each
Participant shall be adjusted in accordance with the provisions of Sections 6 and 9 hereof. Each
Participants VAP Account also shall be credited with earnings as
-9-
determined in accordance with provisions of this Section 8 and shall be debited for any
distributions made to the Participant from his VAP Account.
(b) As of the end of each calendar year, each Participants VAP Account shall be credited with
an amount determined by multiplying the Participants average VAP Account balance during such year
by the average monthly rate during such year for 10-year U.S. Treasury Bonds. In the event that a
Participant becomes entitled to a payment of his VAP Account prior to the end of a calendar year,
the Participants VAP Account shall be credited with a pro-rata share of earnings, based on the
portion of the year prior to the payment date.
(c) The Vice President Financial Services of the Company (or his delegate) shall keep an
accurate record of the amounts credited or debited to each Participants VAP Account and, as of
December 31 of each year, shall deliver to each Participant a written statement showing the credits
and debits made during the year to this VAP Account and the accumulated balance thereof.

CALCULATION OF VALUE APPRECIATION;
ADJUSTMENTS OF VAP AMOUNTS
|
Value Appreciation and all VAP Amounts to be credited to a Participants VAP Account under
this Plan shall be determined based on the actual performance of Current Projects and on the
acquisition and actual performance of New Projects as hereinafter described. Following the
acquisition of New Projects, the VAP Targets for New Projects shall be included in the VAP Goals
for Current and New Projects.
|
(a)
|
|
Annual Value Appreciation of Current and New Projects
|
As of December 31 of each year, the amount to be credited to a Participants VAP Account based
on the annual Value Appreciation of all Current and New Projects shall be determined as follows:
-10-
VAP Amount for Annual Value Appreciation of all Current and New Projects
= VAP Multiplier x 30% x VAP Target Amount
where
VAP Multiplier = (4 x VAP Ratio) -3
where
|

|
Total annual VAP Goal of all Current Projects
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(including VAP Targets for New Projects)
|
|
|
However, if the VAP Multiplier calculated above is less than 0, it shall be 0, and if greater
than 2.00, it shall be 2.00. See Exhibit A hereto.
|
(b)
|
|
Cumulative Value Appreciation of Current and New Projects
|
As of December 31 of each year, the amount to be credited to a Participants VAP Account based on
the cumulative Value Appreciation of all Current and New Projects from the beginning of the Plan
Term (or from the beginning of a Participants participation in this Plan, if later) shall be
determined as follows:
VAP Amount for Cumulative Value Appreciation of all Current and New Projects
= VAP Multiplier x 30% x VAP Target Amount
where
VAP Multiplier = (4 x VAP Ratio) 3

(including VAP Targets for New Projects)
|
|
|
However, if the VAP Multiplier calculated above is less than 0, it shall be 0, and if greater
than 2.00, it shall be 2.00. See Exhibit A attached hereto.
|
(c)
|
|
VAP Amounts for the Acquisition of New Projects
|
-11-
The acquisition of a New Project for purposes of this Plan shall be determined by the
Committee. The amount to be credited to a Participants VAP Account for the Acquisition of a New
Project shall be determined as follows:
VAP Amount for the Acquisition of New Projects
= VAP Multiplier x 40% x VAP Target Amount x 10
where
where
|
A =
|
|
the present value of the expected cumulative Value
Appreciation of all New Projects for the actual expected term(s) of the New Project(s)
based on an annual discount factor of 10%, and
|
|
|
B =
|
|
the total VAP Goal for New Projects over the Plan Term as determined by the Committee.
|
The expected cumulative Value Appreciation for each New Project shall be reviewed from time to
time and the VAP Amount for the Acquisition of the New Projects shall be adjusted, as appropriate
(including, without limitation, adjustments for amounts previously credited to the VAP Account).
Any earnings on such VAP Amount during the period between reviews shall not be adjusted.
|
(d)
|
|
Total VAP Amount for Current and New Projects
|
The total VAP Amount to be credited to each Participants VAP Account shall be determined as
of December 31 of each year by adding the VAP Amounts for Current and New Projects (as determined
under Section 9(a) and 9(b)) to the VAP Amounts for the Acquisition of New Projects (as determined
under Section 9(c)).
-12-
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Plan, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may make
equitable adjustments by increasing or decreasing the VAP Amount to be credited (or that was
previously credited) to a Participants VAP Account or may approve an Award where one otherwise
would not be made.

AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION
|
(a) The Committee or the Board of Directors of the Company, in its sole and absolute
discretion, may alter or amend this Plan from time to time; provided, however, that no such
amendment shall, without the consent of a Participant, affect the Participants rights in or the
amount of any outstanding Award of such Participant (except as otherwise permitted under the terms
of the Plan).
(b) The Committee or the Board of Directors of the Company, in its sole and absolute
discretion, may terminate this Plan in its entirety (or a portion thereof) at any time; provided
that, except as provided in this Subsection, no such termination shall, without the consent of a
Participant, affect the Participants rights in or the amount of any outstanding Award of such
Participant (except as otherwise permitted under the terms of the Plan). Except as otherwise
provided in an amendment to the Plan, all Awards granted prior to any termination of this Plan
shall continue to be subject to the terms of this Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon a
termination of the Plan (or any portion thereof), the Committee or the Board of Directors of the
Company, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall have the right to change the time of
distribution of any or all Participants Awards under the Plan, including requiring that all
amounts credited to Participants Accounts be immediately distributed; provided such action does
not otherwise violate the requirements of Code Section 409A.
-13-
(c) Any amendment or termination of the Plan shall be in the form of a written instrument
approved and adopted on the order of the Committee or the Board of Directors of the Company. Such
amendment or termination shall become effective as of the date specified in the instrument or, if
no such date is specified, on the date of its adoption.
(a)
Expenses.
Expenses of administering the Plan shall be paid by the Employers, as
directed by the Company.
(b)
No Guarantee of Employment
. Neither the adoption or operation of this Plan, nor
any document describing or referring to the Plan, or any part thereof, shall confer upon any
employee any right to continue in the employ of the Company or any Subsidiary, or shall in any way
affect the right and power of the Company or any Subsidiary to terminate the employment of any
employee at any time with or without assigning a reason therefore to the same extent as the Company
or a Subsidiary might have done if this Plan had not been adopted.
(c)
Applicable Law
. The provisions of the Plan shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, except when pre-empted by Federal law.
(d)
Payment to Guardian
. If an Award is payable to a minor, to a person declared
incompetent or to a person incapable of handling the disposition of his property, the Committee may
direct payment of such Award to the guardian, legal representative or person having the care and
custody of such minor, incompetent or person. The Committee may require such proof of
incompetency, minority, incapacity or guardianship as it may deem appropriate prior to the
distribution of such Award. Such distribution shall completely discharge the Employers from all
liability with respect to such Award.
(e)
Limitation of Rights of Participants; No Lien
. No trust has been created by the
Employers for the payment of VAP Amounts granted under this Plan; nor have the Participants
-14-
been granted any lien on any assets of the Employers to secure payment of such benefits. This
Plan represents only an unfunded, unsecured promise to pay by the Employers and each Participant
hereunder is an unsecured creditor of his Employer.
(f)
Headings/Construction
. Headings are given to the sections of the Plan solely as a
convenience to facilitate reference. Such headings, numbering and paragraphing shall not in any
case be deemed in any way material or relevant to the construction of the Plan or any provisions
thereof. The use of the masculine gender shall also include within its meaning the feminine. The
use of the singular shall also include with its meaning the plural, and vise versa. If any
provision of this Plan or the application thereof to any circumstance or person is held to be
invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remainder of the Plan and the application of such
provision to other circumstances or persons shall not be affected thereby.
(g)
Acceleration of Payments
. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the
contrary, to the extent permitted under Code Section 409A and the Treasury Regulations issued
thereunder, payments of Accounts hereunder may be accelerated (i) to the extent necessary to comply
with federal, state, local or foreign ethics or conflicts of interest laws or agreements, (ii) to
the extent necessary to pay the FICA taxes imposed under Code Section 3101, and the income
withholding taxes related thereto or (iii) if the Plan (or a portion thereof) fails to satisfy the
requirements of Code Section 409A; provided that the amount of such payment may not exceed the
amount required to be included as income as a result of the failure to comply with Code Section
409A.
(h)
Delayed Payments due to Solvency Issues.
Notwithstanding any provision of the
Plan to the contrary, an Employer shall not be required to make any payment hereunder to any
Participant or beneficiary if the making of the payment would jeopardize the ability of the
-15-
Employer to continue as a going concern; provided that any missed payment is made during the
first calendar year in which the funds of the Employer are sufficient to make the payment without
jeopardizing the going concern status of the Employer.
(i)
Payments Violating Applicable Law
. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to
the contrary, the payment of all or any portion of the amounts payable hereunder will be deferred
to the extent that the Employer reasonably anticipates that the making of such payment would
violate Federal securities laws or other applicable law (provided that the making of a payment that
would cause income taxes or penalties under the Code shall not be treated as a violation of
applicable law). The deferred amount shall become payable at the earliest date at which the
Employer reasonably anticipates that making the payment will not cause such violation.
The effective date of this amended and restated Plan is January 1, 2008.
