The following summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the statutes referred to below, the Registrant’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “ Certificate ”) and Amended and Restated Bylaws.

 

The Registrant is incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware. Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a corporation may indemnify directors and officers, as well as other employees and individuals, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in

 



 

connection with any threatened, pending or completed actions, suits or proceedings in which such person is made a party by reason of such person being or having been a director, officer, employee or agent to the Registrant. The Delaware General Corporation Law provides that Section 145 is not exclusive of other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any certificate of incorporation, bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. The Certificate provides for indemnification by the Registrant of its directors, officers and employees to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law.

 

Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits a corporation to provide in its certificate of incorporation that a director of the corporation shall not be personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) for unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases, redemptions or other distributions or (iv) for any transactions from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. The Certificate provides for such limitation of liability.

 

The Registrant maintains standard policies of insurance under which coverage is provided (i) to its directors and officers against loss arising from claims made by reason of breach of duty or other wrongful act and (ii) to the Registrant with respect to payments which may be made by the registrant to such directors and officers pursuant to the above indemnification provision or otherwise as a matter of law.

Item 9.                                                          Undertakings.

 

(a)          The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

 

(1)          To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement;

 

(i)              To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

 

(ii)           To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

 

2



 

(iii)        To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement;

 

(A)        provided , however , that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) above do not apply if the Registration Statement is on Form S-8 and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.

 

(2)          That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

(3)          To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

 

(b)          The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

(c)           Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

 

(d)          The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that it will submit or has submitted the employee benefit plans subject to this Registration Statement and any amendments thereto to the Internal Revenue Service (the “ IRS ”) in a timely manner and will make all changes required by the IRS to qualify the plans.

Pursuant to the terms of the Plan, the Company established a trust, with the Trustee as the trustee thereunder.  The Trustee has agreed to hold and administer in trust all amounts accumulated under the Plan under the terms of this Plan.

 

4.2.                             Company Contributions .

 

(a)                                  The Company shall contribute to the Trust Fund an amount equal to the Participant’s Deferrals under Article V (including Catch-Up Contributions, if applicable), the Matching Contributions under Section 4.3, and a discretionary Company Contribution, if any, determined by the Board, in its sole and absolute discretion.

 

(b)                                  In no event shall the amount of Company Contributions under this Plan (including Deferrals) exceed the maximum allowable deduction available to the Company for its fiscal year under Code Sections 404 and 413(c)(6).

4.3.                             Matching Contributions .

 

The Company may, in its sole and absolute discretion, contribute a Matching Contribution to the Plan for the benefit of each Participant who elected to make Deferrals into the Plan.  The amount of Matching Contribution shall be a uniform percentage, as determined by the Board.  In addition to the above, each Plan Year, the Company, in its sole and absolute discretion, may contribute “True-Up” Matching Contributions or discretionary Matching Contributions to the Plan.

 

4.4.                             Irrevocability .

 

(a)                                  In no event shall any of the assets of the Plan revert to the Company except as provided in this Section.

18



 

(c)                                   All Company Contributions to the Plan are hereby conditioned on the initial qualification of the Plan under Code Section 401(a).  If the Plan receives an adverse determination with respect to its initial qualification, at the Company’s election, the Plan may be revoked and all such contributions (and assets derived therefrom) shall be returned to the Company within one year after the date of denial of the qualification of the Plan by the Internal Revenue Service.  An application for a determination letter regarding the tax-qualified status of the Plan shall be filed with the Internal Revenue Service within the time prescribed by law for filing the Company’s federal income tax return for the taxable year in which the Plan was adopted, or such later date as the Internal Revenue Service may prescribe.

 

(d)                                  All Company Contributions to the Plan are hereby conditioned on their deductibility under Code Sections 404 and 413(c)(6), determined without regard to Section 404(a)(5).  To the extent a deduction is disallowed, at the Company’s election, any such contribution shall be returned to the Company within one year after the disallowance.  For this purpose, a contribution shall have been deemed to have been disallowed if it was made by the Company with the intention that it would be deductible, but the Company does not actually claim the deduction on its federal income tax return because it determines that the contribution is not legally deductible.  In such a case, the date of the disallowance shall be deemed to be the earlier of the date of the filing of the federal income tax return or the date on which the Company verifies to the Trustee that the contribution was not deductible.

 

(e)                                   In the case of a Participant’s Excess Deferrals to the Plan, notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, the amount of the Excess Deferrals may be returned to the Participant in accordance with the rules of Article V.

(b)                                  The Plan is intended to be an “ERISA Section 404(c) plan,” as described in Section 404(c) of ERISA, and shall be administered and interpreted in a manner consistent with that intent.  The investment direction requirements of Department of Labor Regulation Sections 2550.404c-1(b)(2)(i)(B)(iv) and (b)(2)(i)(A) and the requirements relating to the investment alternatives under the Plan are intended to be satisfied by subparagraph (a) above, in each case, taking into account related communications to Participants and Beneficiaries under the summary plan description of the Plan and other communications.  The Committee may decline to implement Participant and Beneficiary investment instructions which would result in a prohibited transaction described in ERISA Section 406 or Code Section 4975 or which would generate income that would be taxable to the Plan.

 

(c)                                   Information relating to the purchase, holding or sale of Company Stock in Accounts by Participants, as well as the voting in/or tender of Company Stock held in Accounts, shall be maintained on a confidential basis by the Company Stock Fiduciary at all times.  The Company Stock Fiduciary shall be the fiduciary responsible for maintaining all Participant information with respect to investments in, and the voting and tender of, Company Stock.  The Company Stock Fiduciary shall maintain confidential information with respect to the Participants’ investments in Company Stock in a manner that will prevent officers, directors and employees of the Company from obtaining access to the information unless they have been specifically authorized to receive the information in connection with the responsibilities with respect to the administration of Plan.  The Company Stock Fiduciary shall also be responsible for periodical review and revision of confidentiality procedures for the plan.  In the event the Company Stock Fiduciary determines that the direct or indirect exercise of shareholder rights by any Participant who has Company Stock in the Participant’s Account may be subject to undue employer influence, the Company Stock Fiduciary shall appoint one or more independent fiduciaries (who are not affiliated with the Company or any Affiliated Company) to carry out such activities with respect to investments in Company Stock as may be required to eliminate such employer influence.

 

4.7.                             Divestment of Company Stock .

 

(a)                                  If any portion of the Participant’s Account (including, for purposes of this Section, a Beneficiary entitled to exercise the rights of a Participant) attributable to Deferrals or employee contributions is invested in publicly-traded Company Stock, the Participant may elect to direct the Plan to divest any such securities, and to reinvest an equivalent amount in other investment options.

 

(b)                                  If any portion of a Participant’s Account attributable to non-elective or Matching Contributions is invested in publicly-traded Company Stock, then a Participant who has completed at least three (3) Years of Service, or a Beneficiary of any deceased Participant entitled to exercise the right of a Participant, may elect to direct the Plan to divest any such securities, and to reinvest an equivalent amount in other investment options.

(d)                                  Subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 5.1(c), a Participant may irrevocably designate all, or a portion of, the Compensation deferred under Section 5.1 as a Roth Elective Deferral.

 

(e)                                   The Committee shall prescribe such rules and procedures as it deems necessary or appropriate regarding the deferral election under this Section.  These rules may provide that deferral elections may be made on a more frequent basis or at other times than as set forth above.

 

(f)                                    Deferral elections made in accordance with this Section 5.1 cannot precede the earlier of (i) the performance of services relating to the contribution; and (ii) when the Compensation that is subject to the election would be currently available to the Employee in the absence of an election to defer.

 

5.2.                             Eligible Automatic Contribution Arrangement .

 

(a)                                  For each newly eligible Employee who is not deferring an amount at least equal to three percent (3%) of his pre-tax Compensation (the “Default Elective Contribution Amount”), the Company shall automatically reduce such eligible Employee’s pre-tax Compensation by the Default Elective Contribution Amount and contribute such amount to his Deferrals Account (the “Default Elective Contribution”) unless such eligible Employee timely makes an affirmative contrary election under subparagraph (c) below (a “Contrary Election”).  Default Elective Contributions deferred under this Eligible Automatic Contribution Arrangement (“EACA”) shall be treated as Deferrals for all purposes under the Plan.

 

21



 

(b)                                  The Committee shall provide to each eligible Employee, a written notice that satisfies the requirements of Code Section 414(w) and any Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder.  The notice shall describe (i) the Default Elective Contribution Amount that will be made if the Employee does not make a Contrary Election; (ii) the Employee’s right to elect not to have a Default Elective Contribution made to the Plan on his behalf or to have a different percentage of Compensation contributed to the Plan on his behalf; (iii) how his Default Elective Contributions will be invested in the absence of any investment election by the Employee; and (iv) the Employee’s right to make a permissible withdrawal as described in subparagraph (e) below and the procedures to elect such withdrawal.

 

(c)                                   A Participant may, at any time, affirmatively elect not to make Default Elective Contributions or to defer an amount which is more or less than the Default Elective Contribution Amount (a “Contrary Election”).  The effective date of a Contrary Election shall be no later than the last day of the payroll period that begins after the date the Contrary Election is made.  A Participant’s Contrary Election shall continue in effect until the Participant subsequently changes his salary reduction agreement.

 

(d)                                  Default Elective Contributions shall be invested in accordance with regulations prescribed by the Secretary of Labor under Section 404(c)(5) of ERISA.

 

(e)                                   Permissible Withdrawal.

 

(i)                                      Any Employee who has Default Elective Contributions made under the EACA may elect to make a withdrawal of such contributions (and earnings attributable thereto) in accordance with the requirements of this subparagraph (e) (a “Permissible Withdrawal”).  The Permissible Withdrawal election must be made no later than ninety (90) days after the date of the first Default Elective Contribution under the EACA.  The date of the first Default Elective Contribution is the date that the Compensation that is subject to the cash or deferred election would otherwise have been included in gross income.  The effective date of a Permissible Withdrawal election described herein cannot be later than the last day of the payroll period that begins after the date the election is made.

 

(ii)                                   The amount of the Permissible Withdrawal shall be includible in the eligible Employee’s gross income for the taxable year in which the distribution is made; provided, however, that any portion of the distribution consisting of designated Roth Elective Deferrals shall not be included in the Employee’s gross income a second time.  The withdrawal shall not be subject to the additional tax under Code Section 72(t).

 

(iii)                                Any Matching Contributions with respect to the amount withdrawn shall be forfeited.

 

5.3.                             Catch-Up Contributions .

 

All Participants who have attained (or who are expected to attain) age fifty (50) before the close of a Plan Year shall be eligible to make catch-up contributions in accordance with, and subject to the limitations of, Code Section 414(v) (“Catch-Up Contributions).  Catch-Up Contributions shall not be taken into account for purposes of the provisions of the Plan implementing the

 

22



 

required limitations of Code Sections 402(g) and 415.  Deferrals and Catch-Up Contributions shall be separately accounted for, and no amount shall be credited as a Catch-Up Contribution until the total permissible amount of Deferrals have in fact been credited to the Plan.  The Plan shall not be treated as failing to satisfy Code Sections 401(k)(3), 410(b), or 416, as applicable, by reason of such Catch-Up Contributions.

 

5.4.                             Average Deferral Percentage Test .

 

The Committee shall monitor the Deferrals by Participants to ensure that, at all times, either (a) the Average Deferral Percentage for Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year is not more than the Average Deferral Percentage for all other Covered Employees multiplied by 1.25 or (b) the excess of the Average Deferral Percentage of the group of Highly Compensated Employees over that of all other Covered Employees is not more than two (2) percentage points, provided that the Average Deferral Percentage for the group of Highly Compensated Employees is not more than twice the Average Deferral Percentage for all other Covered Employees.  The Company shall maintain records sufficient to demonstrate satisfaction of the requirements of this Section.  The Company has elected to use the Average Deferral Percentage in this Section applied by comparing the current Plan Year’s Average Deferral Percentage for Employees who are Highly Compensated Employees with the current Plan Year’s Average Deferral Percentage for all other Covered Employees.  All Deferrals shall be considered in applying this Section.

 

5.5.                             Prospective Reductions of Deferrals .

 

(a)                                  The Committee may, if it so decides in its discretion, determine prior to the end of the Plan Year whether or not the Average Deferral Percentage test of Section 5.4 is satisfied.  If, pursuant to these estimations by the Committee, the tests will not be satisfied, the Committee may elect, in its discretion, to reduce the Deferrals on behalf of Highly Compensated Employees, or undertake such other actions as it deems necessary to ensure that favorable income tax treatment is available to Participants under Code Section 401(k).

 

(b)                                  In the event that the Deferrals by the Highly Compensated Employees are reduced by Committee action, such reductions will be accomplished in the manner described in Section 5.8.

 

5.6.                             Limitations on Deferrals .

 

(a)                                  In any Plan Year, no Participant shall be permitted to have Deferrals made pursuant to Sections 5.1 and 5.2 in excess of the limitations under Code Section 402(g), as adjusted for the cost of living by the Secretary of the Treasury, except to the extent permitted under Section 5.3 of the Plan and Code Section 414(v).

 

(b)                                  In the event that a Participant is also a participant in (1) another qualified cash or deferred arrangement (as defined in Code Section 401(k)), (2) a simplified employee pension (as defined in Code Section 408(k)), or (3) a salary deferral arrangement (within the meaning of Code Section 3121(a)(5)(D)) and the elective deferrals, as defined in Code Section 402(g)(3), made under such other plans and this Plan cumulatively exceed the limitations under Code Section 402(g) (as adjusted for the cost of living by the Secretary of the Treasury) for such Participant’s taxable year, the Participant may, not later than March 1 following the close of his

 

23



 

taxable year, notify the Committee in writing of such excess and request that his Deferrals under this Plan be reduced by an amount specified by the Participant.  Such amount may then be distributed as provided in Section 5.7.

 

5.7.                             Distributions of Excess Deferrals .

 

In the event a Participant deferred more than the maximum permitted under Section 5.6 above (“Excess Deferrals”), whether under only this Plan or under this Plan and another plan, the Participant may request the Committee to distribute such Excess Deferrals together with earnings or losses allocable to such Excess Deferrals (as determined pursuant to Section 5.12).  If a Participant has Excess Deferrals, taking into account only Deferrals under this Plan and other plans of the Company, the Participant is deemed to have notified the Plan of such Excess Deferrals, and such Excess Deferrals shall be distributed in accordance with the terms of this Section 5.7.  Any Excess Deferrals shall be distributed no later than April 15 following the calendar year in which the Excess Deferral was contributed to the Plan.  A Participant may request a distribution of his Excess Deferrals by making a claim to the Committee in accordance with the rules and procedures adopted by the Committee.  Any claim under this Section shall be:

 

(a)                                  In writing;

 

(b)                                  Submitted to the Committee no later than March 1 following the close of the calendar year in which the Excess Deferrals were made; and

 

(c)                                   Accompanied by the Participant’s written statement that if such amounts are not distributed, such Excess Deferrals, when added to amounts deferred under other plans or arrangements described in Code Sections 401(k), 408(k) or 403(b), exceed the limit imposed on the Participant by Code Section 402(g) for the calendar year in which the Excess Deferrals were made.

 

5.8.                             Distributions of Excess Contributions .

 

In the event that the Plan fails to satisfy the Average Deferral Percentage test of Section 5.4 as of the last day of the Plan Year, remedial action shall be taken under this Section.

 

The Company shall distribute all Excess Contributions, together with earnings allocable to such Excess Contributions as determined pursuant to Section 5.12.

 

(a)                                  In the event that the Company is required to distribute Excess Contributions, the Company shall first rank the Highly Compensated Employees participating in the Plan by the dollar amount of Deferrals in descending order.  The Company shall then reduce the amount of Deferrals made on behalf of Highly Compensated Employees starting with the highest dollar amount of Deferrals until the first of the following occurs:

 

(i)                                      The Plan satisfies the limitations set forth in Section 5.4; or

 

(ii)                                   The Deferral Percentage for such Highly Compensated Employee is reduced to a percentage that equals the Deferral Percentage of the Highly Compensated

 

24



 

Employee with the next highest Deferral Percentage.  The Company shall then repeat the application of this Section until the Plan satisfies the limitation set forth in Section 5.4.

 

(b)                                  For each Highly Compensated Employee, “Excess Contributions” means the difference between:

 

(i)                                      The Deferrals allocated to the Highly Compensated Employee for the Plan Year (determined prior to the application of Sections 5.8(a)(i) and (ii) above); and

 

(ii)                                   The amount determined by multiplying the Highly Compensated Employee’s Deferral Percentage (after the application of Sections 5.8(a) and (b)) by his Compensation.

 

(c)                                   Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Excess Contributions exceed the Deferrals made on behalf of a Highly Compensated Employee for a Plan Year.

 

(d)                                  The Committee shall undertake action to ensure that the distribution of Excess Contributions will be made within six (6) months after the end of the Plan Year in which the contributions were made, but in no event later than the last day of the Plan Year following the Plan Year in which the Excess Contributions were made.

 

5.9.                             Special Rules Applicable to Matching Contributions .

 

(a)                                  Any Matching Contributions made under this Plan shall satisfy one or both of the numerical tests set forth in Section 5.4, by substituting “Average Contribution Percentage” for “Average Deferral Percentage” in each place that it appears.  In applying those tests, the Plan shall comply with the rules of Treasury Regulation Section 1.401(m)-2.  Pursuant to Treasury Regulations promulgated under Code Section 401(m), a Participant’s Deferrals on his behalf may be taken into account for purposes of this Section.

 

(b)                                  In the event that the Company maintains two or more plans that must be treated as a single plan for purposes of Code Sections 401(a)(4) and 410, all such plans shall be treated as a single plan for purposes of this Section, and all of the Matching Contributions shall be aggregated if a Highly Compensated Employee participates in more than one plan that provides for Matching Contributions.

 

(c)                                   In the event that the Plan fails to satisfy the tests of this Section 5.9, the Company shall distribute all Excess Aggregate Contributions, together with earnings thereon (determined pursuant to Section 5.12) in accordance with this Section.  If the Company is required to distribute Excess Aggregate Contributions, the Company shall rank the Highly Compensated Employees participating in the Plan by the largest dollar amount of Matching Contributions in descending order.  The Company shall then reduce the amount of Matching Contributions made on behalf of Highly Compensated Employees starting with the highest dollar amount of Matching Contributions until the first of the following occurs:

 

(i)                                      The Plan satisfies the limitations set forth in Subsection 5.9(a); or

 

25



 

(ii)                                   The Contribution Percentage for such Highly Compensated Employee is reduced to a percentage that equals the Contribution Percentage of the Highly Compensated Employee with the next highest Contribution Percentage.  The Company shall then repeat the application of this Section until the Plan satisfies the limitation set forth in Subsection 5.9(a).

 

(iii)                                For each Highly Compensated Employee, “Excess Aggregate Contributions” means the difference between:

 

(A)                                The Matching Contributions allocated to the Highly Compensated Employee for the Plan Year (determined prior to the application of Subsections 5.9(c)(i) and (ii) above); and

 

(B)                                The amount determined by multiplying the Highly Compensated Employee’s Contribution Percentage (after the application of Subsections 5.9(c)(i) and (ii)) by his Compensation.

 

(d)                                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Excess Aggregate Contributions exceed the Matching Contributions made on behalf of a Highly Compensated Employee for a Plan Year.

 

(e)                                   The amount of the Excess Aggregate Contributions shall be determined after first determining the amount of Excess Deferrals under Section 5.7 and then determining the amount of Excess Contributions under Section 5.8.  Should any Highly Compensated Employee have Excess Deferrals or Excess Contributions in any Plan Year and have Matching Contributions allocated to the Highly Compensated Employee’s Accounts based upon such amounts, any such Matching Contributions shall be deemed to be Excess Aggregate Contributions for that Plan Year.

 

(f)                                    Excess Aggregate Contributions shall be taken into account in applying the limitations of Article XIV and the maximum deduction the Company may take for contributions to the Plan, even though those amounts are distributed from the Plan.

 

(g)                                   The Company shall maintain records sufficient to demonstrate satisfaction of the requirements of this Section 5.9.

 

(h)                                  All Matching Contributions shall be considered in applying this Section.

 

(i)                                      The Committee shall undertake action to ensure that the correction of Excess Aggregate Contributions will be made within six (6) months after the end of the Plan Year in which the contributions were made, but in no event later than the last day of the Plan Year following the Plan Year in which the Excess Aggregate Contributions were made.

 

5.10.                      Termination, Change or Resumption of Deferrals .

 

The Committee shall prescribe such rules as it deems necessary or appropriate relating to procedures for the termination, resumption or change in the rate of a Participant’s Deferrals to the Plan.  These rules may require prior written notice to the Committee from the Participant

 

26



 

before any such action may be taken with respect to a Participant’s Deferrals, and may impose a minimum period of suspension in the case of a Participant who terminates his Deferrals.

 

5.11.                      Payment of Deferrals .

 

Deferrals, including Catch-Up Contributions, if applicable, shall be collected by the Company only through payroll deductions.  The Company shall remit the Deferrals to the Trustee as soon as such contributions can reasonably be segregated from the general assets of the Company, but in any event within fifteen (15) business days after the end of the month for which the Compensation to which such contributions relate is paid.

 

5.12.                      Earnings Adjustment .

 

The distribution of an Excess Deferral under Section 5.7, an Excess Contribution under Section 5.8 or an Excess Aggregate Contribution under Section 5.9 shall be adjusted for income or loss.  The income or loss attributable to such amounts shall include a pro rata share of income or loss in the Plan Year in which the Excess Deferral, Excess Contribution or Excess Aggregate Contribution was made (the “Contribution Year Income”).  The Contribution Year Income shall be determined by multiplying the income or loss for the Plan Year allocable to the Participant’s Deferrals or Matching Contributions by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Excess Deferral, Excess Contribution, or Excess Aggregate Contribution, as applicable, and the denominator of which is the total balance of the Participant’s Account attributable to Deferrals or Matching Contributions, as applicable.

 

5.13.                      Special Rules .

 

(a)                                  Any distribution made under Section 5.7, 5.8 or 5.9 may be made without any notice or consent otherwise required by Article VIII.  Any distribution under Sections 5.7, 5.8 or 5.9, however, will not be taken into account for purposes of the minimum distribution rules of Section 8.4.

 

(b)                                  A Deferral shall be taken into account under Section 5.6 for a Plan Year only if the Deferral relates to Compensation that, but for the election to make the Deferral, either would have been received by the Participant for the Plan Year or is attributable to services performed by the Participant in the Plan Year and would have been received by the Participant within 2½ months after the close of the Plan Year.

 

(c)                                   All elective deferrals made under two or more plans that are aggregated for purposes of Code Sections 401(a)(4) or 410(b) (other than Code Section 410(b)(2)(A)(ii)) shall be treated as though made under a single plan.  All plans that are permissibly aggregated under Code Section 401(k) must also satisfy the requirements of Code Sections 401(a)(4) and 410(b) as though they were a single plan.

 

(d)                                  For any Plan Year in which a Participant may make both Roth Elective Deferrals and pre-tax elective Deferrals, the Committee operationally may implement an ordering rule procedure for the distribution of Excess Deferrals, Excess Contributions, Excess Aggregate Contributions and excess Annual Additions.  Such ordering rules may specify whether the pre-tax elective Deferrals or Roth Elective Deferrals are distributed first, to the extent such type of

 

27



 

Deferrals were made for the year.  Furthermore, such procedure may permit the Participant to elect which type of Deferrals will be distributed first.

 

5.14.                      Other Benefits .

 

With the exception of Matching Contributions, no other Company provided benefit, including, but not limited to, benefits under a defined benefit plan, non-elective Company contributions to a defined contribution plan, the availability, cost or amount of health benefits, vacations or vacation pay, life insurance, dental plans, legal service plans, loans (including plan loans), financial planning services, subsidized retirement benefits, stock options, property subject to Code Section 83 and dependent care assistance shall be directly or indirectly conditioned upon any Employee’s election to make Deferrals under the Plan.

 

5.15.                      Rollover Contributions .

 

If the Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion, provides, the Plan will accept direct Participant rollovers from any, or all of the following: (a) qualified retirement plans described in Code Sections 401(a) or 403(a), including or excluding after-tax employee contributions; (b) an annuity contract described in Code Section 403(b), excluding after-tax employee contributions; (c) an eligible plan under Code Section 457(b) which is maintained by a state, political subdivision of a state or any agency or instrumentality of a state or political subdivision of a state; (d) an individual retirement account or annuity described in Code Sections 408(a) or 408(b); or (e) a Roth elective deferral account as a direct rollover from an applicable retirement plan described in Section 402A(e)(1) and only to the extent the rollover is permitted under the rules of Section 402(c).  Notwithstanding the above, the Plan will accept a direct Participant rollover contribution which includes a loan rollover, if such rollover contribution is being made in connection with a corporate transaction entered into by the Company and is specifically provided for in the transaction documents related to such corporate transaction, or if not set forth in the transaction documents, then may be permitted at the discretion of the Committee.

 

28



 

ARTICLE VI
ALLOCATIONS TO PARTICIPANTS’ ACCOUNTS

 

6.1.                             Participants’ Company Contributions Account .

 

The Committee shall open and maintain a separate Company Contributions Account, a Matching Contributions Account, a Deferrals Account, Roth Elective Deferral Account, a Rollover Account (if applicable), an In-Plan Roth Rollover Contribution Account (if applicable) and an In-Plan Roth Conversion Contribution Account (if applicable) for each Participant, including any sub-accounts the Committee deems appropriate.  For contributions prior to August 3, 2015, the Committee shall maintain separate Accounts to reflect that portion of the Accounts that were attributable to ESOP Allocations.  “ESOP Allocations” shall mean contributions allocated to a Participant’s Account prior to August 3, 2015, that are invested in shares of Company Stock and were intended to constitute an employee stock ownership plan within the meaning of Code Section 4975(e)(7).

 

6.2.                             Allocation of Company Contributions .

 

The Company Contribution for each Plan Year shall be allocated to the Accounts of each Participant according to the following rules:

 

(a)                                  A Participant’s Deferrals shall be allocated to his or her Deferrals Account, with pre-tax and Roth Elective Deferrals allocated to separate sub-accounts.

 

(b)                                  Unless the Board determines that Matching Contributions should be allocated in a different manner, Matching Contributions shall be allocated among those Participants who made Deferrals during the Plan Year to the Matching Contributions Accounts of such Participants in accordance with Section 4.3.

 

(c)                                   In the event that the Company, in its sole and absolute discretion, elects to make “True-Up” Matching Contributions to the Plan for a Plan Year, a Participant must be employed on the last day of the Plan Year in order to be eligible to receive his share of the True-Up Matching Contributions.  As used herein, “True-Up Matching Contributions” means those Company Contributions, if any, made by the Company, in its sole and absolute discretion, which are intended to correct an unequal allocation of the Matching Contributions for a Plan Year based upon the Company’s payroll or software systems.

 

(d)                                  The discretionary Company Contribution for each Plan Year, if any, shall be allocated among those Participants that have completed 1,000 Hours of Service and are employed on the last day of the Plan Year in the proportion that each such Participant’s Compensation during that Plan Year bears to the aggregate Compensation of all Participants during that Plan Year.

 

(e)                                   For purposes of making the allocations of Company Contributions under this Article, any Company Contributions made with respect to a particular Plan Year that are made

 

29



 

after the end of the year but on or before the Company’s federal income tax return due date (including extensions) shall be considered as having been made on the last day of the Plan Year.

 

6.3.                             Revaluation of Participants’ Accounts on Each Valuation Date .

 

As of each Valuation Date, each Account will be adjusted to reflect the fair market value of the assets allocated to the Account.  In so doing,

 

(a)                                  each Account balance will be increased by the amount of contributions, income and gain allocable to such Account since the prior Valuation Date; and

 

(b)                                  each Account balance will be decreased by the amount of distributions from the Account and expenses and losses allocable to the Account since the prior Valuation Date.

 

Any expenses relating to a specific Account or Accounts, including without limitation, commissions or sales charges with respect to an investment in which the Account participates, may be charged solely to the particular Account or Accounts.

 

6.4.                             Forfeitures .

 

(a)                                  Any amount of a Participant’s Account that is forfeited shall be used first to restore the Accounts of former Participants under Section 8.7.  Any remaining amounts will be allocated first to pay administrative expenses of the Plan as defined in Section 10.11, if not paid by the Company, then to reduce the Company’s Matching Contributions, if any, under Section 4.3, and then in any other manner, as determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion.

 

(b)                                  In the case of the Company and Affiliated Companies whose participation in the Plan constitutes a single plan with the participation in the Plan of the Company, the Company and all such Affiliated Companies shall be considered to be the same Company for purposes of allocating Company Contributions and Forfeitures.

 

6.5.                             Miscellaneous Allocation Rules .

 

Upon a Participant’s Severance, pending distribution of the Participant’s Vested Interest, the Participant’s Accounts shall continue to be maintained and accounted for in accordance with all applicable provisions of this Plan.  The Committee may establish accounting procedures for the purpose of making the allocations, valuations, and adjustments to Participants’ Accounts provided for in this Article VI.  The Company, the Committee, and the Trustee do not in any manner, or to any extent whatsoever, warrant, guarantee, or represent that the value of a Participant’s Accounts shall at any time equal or exceed the amount previously contributed thereto.

 

30



 

ARTICLE VII
VESTING

 

7.1.                             General Rule .

 

A Participant shall always be 100% vested in his Deferrals Account and in his Rollover Contributions Account.  The Vested Interest of each Participant in his Matching Contributions and discretionary Company Contributions shall be determined on the basis of his Years of Service, in accordance with the following schedule:

 

Years of Service

 

Vested Percentage

 

Less than one year

 

0

%

One year

 

34

%

Two years

 

67

%

Three years or more

 

100

%

 

7.2.                             Special Vesting Rules .

 

Notwithstanding the rules of Section 7.1, the determination of a Participant’s Vested Interest in his Matching Contributions and discretionary Company Contributions shall be subject to the following rules:

 

(a)                                  In the event of a Participant’s death, Disability or attainment of Normal Retirement Age during his period of employment with the Company, such Participant, he shall become 100% vested in his Matching Contributions and discretionary Company Contributions.

 

(b)                                  In the case of a Participant who incurs five (5) or more consecutive one-year Breaks in Service, such Participant’s Years of Service following such period of Breaks in Service shall not count in determining the Participant’s Vested Interest in his Matching Contributions and discretionary Company Contributions accrued before the commencement of the Break in Service period.  Years of Service both before and after the Break in Service will count in determining the Participant’s Vested Interest with respect to Matching Contributions and discretionary Company Contributions made after the Participant’s reemployment.

 

(c)                                   No amendment shall be made to the vesting schedule under Section 7.1 if the non-forfeitable percentage of a Participant’s Account (determined as of the later of the date such amendment is adopted or the date the amendment becomes effective) is less than such non-forfeitable percentage computed without regard to such amendment.

 

(d)                                  If a Plan amendment changes the vesting schedule under Section 7.1 or indirectly affects the computation of the non-forfeitable portion of a Participant’s Account, each Participant who has completed at least three (3) Years of Service may elect within a reasonable period of time after the adoption of such amendment to have his nonforfeitable percentage computed without regard to such amendment or change.

 

31



 

(e)                                   Any special vesting provisions related to corporate transactions shall be set forth on Appendix B.

 

32



 

ARTICLE VIII
PAYMENT OF BENEFITS

 

8.1.                             Commencement of Benefits .

 

Subject to the provisions of this Article, a Participant’s benefit shall normally be distributed upon his Severance.  Any distribution under this Article shall be made as soon as practicable following the receipt of the valuation of the assets of the Plan as of the last Valuation Date coinciding with or next following the Participant’s date of Severance.

 

8.2.                             Form of Payment .

 

Distributions shall be made in a single lump sum payment of cash.

 

8.3.                             Consent to Receive Early Distribution .

 

(a)                                  (i)                                      Consent .  A distribution shall not immediately occur upon a Participant’s Severance where the present value of the Participant’s Vested Interest exceeds $5,000, prior to the end of the Plan Year in which the Participant attains age 70½ or, if earlier, the end of the Plan Year in which the Plan terminates, unless the Participant consents to such distribution.  For purposes of determining if a Participant’s Vested Interest exceeds $5,000 under this Section, Rollover Accounts under Section 5.15 and earnings thereon, shall be considered.

 

(ii)                                   Cashout of Small Benefit .  Except as provided in subparagraph (a)(iii) below, if the value of the Participant’s Vested Interest as determined under (a)(i) above is $1,000 or less (including the Participant’s Rollover Account), the Plan shall automatically distribute the Participant’s entire Vested Interest as a lump sum cash payment to the Participant as soon as administratively practicable, with or without the Participant’s consent.

 

(iii)                                Automatic Rollover .  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Participant’s Vested Interest does not exceed $5,000, including his Rollover Account, but does exceed $1,000, and the Participant does not elect to have the distribution paid to him or her directly or to an Eligible Retirement Plan in a direct rollover, then the Plan shall automatically distribute the Participant’s entire Vested Interest in a direct rollover to an individual retirement plan described in Code Section 408(a) or an Individual Retirement Annuity described in Code Section 408(b) as designated by the Committee.

 

(b)                                  Failure to consent to a distribution under subparagraph (a)(i) shall be deemed an election to defer the distribution until the earlier of the Participant’s (i) death; or (ii) Required Beginning Date, as such term is defined in Section 8.4 below.  In the event a Participant fails to consent to a distribution at the time of Severance, the Participant may later request a distribution, and such distribution shall be made, provided that the consent requirements of this Section are then satisfied.

 

33



 

(c)                                   This consent requirement shall not apply in the case of the termination of the Plan, provided that neither the Company nor any Affiliated Companies maintain any other defined contribution plan, other than an employee stock ownership plan.  If the Participant does not consent to an immediate distribution, his or her benefit shall be transferred to the other defined contribution plan.  The consent requirement of this Section shall not apply in the case of the death of the Participant.

 

8.4.                             Mandatory Distributions .

 

(a)                                  Required Beginning Date .  Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, the entire Vested Interest of each Participant shall be distributed to the Participant no later than his Required Beginning Date.  “Required Beginning Date” means April 1 of the calendar year following the later of (i) the calendar year in which the Participant attains age 70½; or (ii) the calendar year in which the Participant retires; provided, however, that this clause (ii) shall not apply in the case of a Participant who is a “five (5) percent owner” as defined in Code Section 416.

 

(b)                                  Minimum Distribution Requirements

 

(i)                                      General Rules

 

(A)                                Precedence .  Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, the requirements of this Section will take precedence over any inconsistent provisions of the Plan.

 

(B)                                Requirements of Treasury Regulations Incorporated .  All distributions required under this Section will be determined and made in accordance with the Treasury Regulations promulgated under Code Section 401(a)(9).

 

(ii)                                   Time and Manner of Distribution

 

(A)                                Required Beginning Date .  The Participant’s entire Vested Interest will be distributed, or begin to be distributed, to the Participant no later than the Participant’s Required Beginning Date.

 

(B)                                Death of Participant Before Distributions Begin .  If the Participant dies before distributions begin, the Participant’s entire Vested Interest will be distributed, or begin to be distributed, no later than as follows:

 

(1)                                  If the Participant’s surviving Spouse is the Participant’s sole Designated Beneficiary, then distributions to the surviving Spouse will begin by December 31 of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which the Participant died, or by December 31 of the calendar year in which the Participant would have attained age 70½, if later.

 

34



 

(2)                                  If the Participant’s surviving Spouse is not the Participant’s sole Designated Beneficiary, then distributions to the Designated Beneficiary will begin by December 31 of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which the Participant died.

 

(3)                                  If there is no Designated Beneficiary as of September 30 of the year following the year of the Participant’s death, the Participant’s entire Vested Interest will be distributed by December 31 of the calendar year containing the fifth anniversary of the Participant’s death.

 

(4)                                  If the Participant’s surviving Spouse is the Participant’s sole Designated Beneficiary and the surviving Spouse dies after the Participant but before distributions to the surviving Spouse begin, this subparagraph (b)(ii)(B), other than sub subparagraph (b)(ii)(B)(1), will apply as if the surviving Spouse were the Participant.

 

For purposes of this subparagraph (b)(ii)(B) and subparagraph (iv), unless subparagraph (b)(ii)(B)(4) applies, distributions are considered to begin on the Participant’s Required Beginning Date.  If subparagraph (b)(ii)(B)(4) applies, distributions are considered to begin on the date distributions are required to begin to the surviving Spouse under subparagraph (b)(ii)(B)(1).  If distributions under an annuity purchased from an insurance company irrevocably commence to the Participant before the Participant’s Required Beginning Date (or to the Participant’s surviving Spouse before the date distributions are required to begin to the surviving Spouse under subparagraph (b)(ii)(B)(1)), the date distributions are considered to begin is the date distributions actually commence.

 

(C)                                Forms of Distribution .  Unless the Participant’s Vested Interest is distributed in the form of an annuity purchased from an insurance company or in a single sum on or before the Required Beginning Date, as of the first Distribution Calendar Year distributions will be made in accordance with subparagraph (iii) and (iv) of this Section.  If the Participant’s Vested Interest is distributed in the form of an annuity purchased from an insurance company, distributions thereunder will be made in accordance with the requirements of Code Section 401(a)(9) and the Treasury Regulations.

 

(iii)                                Required Minimum Distributions During Participant’s Lifetime

 

(A)                                Amount of Required Minimum Distribution For Each Distribution Calendar Year .  During the Participant’s lifetime, the minimum

 

35



 

amount that will be distributed for each Distribution Calendar Year is the lesser of:

 

(1)                                  the quotient obtained by dividing the Participant’s Vested Account Balance by the distribution period in the Uniform Lifetime Table set forth in Section 1.401(a)(9)-9 of the Treasury Regulations, using the Participant’s age as of the Participant’s birthday in the Distribution Calendar Year; or

 

(2)                                  if the Participant’s sole Designated Beneficiary for the Distribution Calendar Year is the Participant’s Spouse, the quotient obtained by dividing the Participant’s Vested Account Balance by the number in the Joint and Last Survivor Table set forth in Section 1.401(a)(9)-9 of the Treasury Regulations, using the Participant’s and Spouse’s attained ages as of the Participant’s and Spouse’s birthdays in the Distribution Calendar Year.

 

(B)                                Lifetime Required Minimum Distributions Continue Through Year of Participant’s Death .  Required minimum distributions will be determined under this subparagraph (iii) beginning with the first Distribution Calendar Year and up to, and including, the Distribution Calendar Year that includes the Participant’s date of death

 

(iv)                               Required Minimum Distributions After Participant’s Death

 

(A)                                Death On or After Date Distributions Begin

 

(1)                                  Participant Survived by Designated Beneficiary .  If the Participant dies on or after the date distributions begin and there is a Designated Beneficiary, the minimum amount that will be distributed for each Distribution Calendar Year after the year of the Participant’s death is the quotient obtained by dividing the Participant’s Vested Account Balance by the longer of the remaining Life Expectancy of the Participant or the remaining Life Expectancy of the Participant’s Designated Beneficiary, determined as follows:

 

a)                                      The Participant’s remaining Life Expectancy is calculated using the age of the Participant in the year of death, reduced by one for each subsequent year.

 

b)                                      If the Participant’s surviving Spouse is the Participant’s sole Designated Beneficiary, the remaining Life Expectancy of the Surviving Spouse

 

36



 

is calculated for each Distribution Calendar Year after the year of the Participant’s death using the surviving Spouse’s age as of the spouse’s birthday in that year.  For Distribution Calendar Years after the year of the surviving Spouse’s death, the remaining Life Expectancy of the surviving Spouse is calculated using the age of the surviving Spouse as of the Spouse’s birthday in the calendar year of the Spouse’s death, reduced by one for each subsequent calendar year.

 

c)                                       If the Participant’s surviving Spouse is not the Participant’s sole Designated Beneficiary, the Designated Beneficiary’s remaining Life Expectancy is calculated using the age of the beneficiary in the year following the year of the Participant’s death, reduced by one for each subsequent year.

 

(2)                                  No Designated Beneficiary .  If the Participant dies on or after the date distributions begin and there is no Designated Beneficiary as of September 30 of the year after the year of the Participant’s death, the minimum amount that will be distributed for each Distribution Calendar Year after the year of the Participant’s death is the quotient obtained by dividing the Participant’s Vested Account Balance by the Participant’s remaining Life Expectancy calculated using the age of the Participant in the year of death, reduced by one for each subsequent year.

 

(B)                                Death Before Date Distributions Begin

 

(1)                                  Participant Survived by Designated Beneficiary .  If the Participant dies before the date distributions begin and there is a Designated Beneficiary, the minimum amount that will be distributed for each Distribution Calendar Year after the year of the Participant’s death is the quotient obtained by dividing the Participant’s Vested Account Balance by the remaining Life Expectancy of the Participant’s Designated Beneficiary, determined as provided in subparagraph (b)(iv)(A).

 

(2)                                  No Designated Beneficiary .  If the Participant dies before the date distributions begin and there is no Designated Beneficiary as of September 30 of the year following the year of the Participant’s death, distribution of the Participant’s entire Vested Interest will be completed by

 

37



 

December 31 of the calendar year containing the fifth (5 th ) anniversary of the Participant’s death.

 

(3)                                  Death of Surviving Spouse Before Distributions to Surviving Spouse Are Required to Begin .  If the Participant dies before the date distributions begin, the Participant’s surviving Spouse is the Participant’s sole Designated Beneficiary, and the surviving Spouse dies before distributions are required to begin to the surviving Spouse under subparagraph (b)(ii)(B)(1), this subparagraph (b)(iv)(B) will apply as if the Surviving Spouse were the Participant.

 

(v)                                  Definitions

 

(A)                                Designated Beneficiary .  The individual who is designated as the Beneficiary under Section 8.6 of the Plan and is the Designated Beneficiary under Code Section 401(a)(9) and Section 1.401(a)(9)-1, Q&A-4, of the Treasury Regulations.

 

(B)                                Distribution Calendar Year .  A calendar year for which a minimum distribution is required. For distributions beginning before the Participant’s death, the first Distribution Calendar Year is the calendar year immediately preceding the calendar year which contains the Participant’s Required Beginning Date.  For distributions beginning after the Participant’s death, the first Distribution Calendar Year is the calendar year in which distributions are required to begin under subparagraph (b)(ii)(B) of this Section 8.4(b).  The required minimum distribution for the Participant’s first Distribution Calendar Year will be made on or before the Participant’s Required Beginning Date.  The required minimum distribution for other Distribution Calendar Years, including the required minimum distribution for the Distribution Calendar Year in which the Participant’s Required Beginning Date occurs, will be made on or before December 31 of that Distribution Calendar Year.

 

(C)                                Life Expectancy .  Life expectancy as computed by use of the Single Life Table in Section 1.401(a)(9)-9 of the Treasury Regulations.

 

(D)                                Participant’s Account Balance .  The Account Balance as of the last Valuation Date in the calendar year immediately preceding the Distribution Calendar Year (valuation calendar year) increased by the amount of any contributions made and allocated or forfeitures allocated to the Account Balance as of dates in the valuation calendar year after the Valuation Date and decreased by

 

38



 

distributions made in the valuation calendar year after the Valuation Date.  The Account Balance for the valuation calendar year includes any amounts rolled over or transferred to the plan either in the valuation calendar year or in the Distribution Calendar Year if distributed or transferred in the valuation calendar year.

 

(E)                                 Required Beginning Date .  The date specified in Section 8.4(a) of the Plan.

 

8.5.                             Distributions Upon Death .

 

(a)                                  In the event of the death of a Participant, his benefit shall be paid to a Beneficiary other than his surviving Spouse only if:

 

(i)                                      The Spouse of the Participant consents in writing to the designation of Beneficiary;

 

(ii)                                   The election designates a Beneficiary which may not be changed without spousal consent (or the spousal consent expressly permits designations without any requirement of further consent by the Spouse); and

 

(iii)                                The Spouse’s consent acknowledges the effect of the designation and is witnessed by a Plan Representative or a notary public; or

 

(iv)                               It is established to the satisfaction of a Plan Representative that the consent required by subparagraph (i) above may not be obtained because there is no Spouse or because the Spouse cannot be located.

 

“Plan Representative” shall mean the person or persons designated by the Committee to perform the duties specified herein.

 

(b)                                  Any consent by a Spouse (or establishment that the consent of a Spouse may not be obtained) under subparagraph (a) above will be effective only with respect to that Spouse.

 

(c)                                   Any distribution required by the rules applicable to incidental death benefits shall be treated as a distribution required by this Section.  All distributions required under this Section shall be determined and made in accordance with the Treasury Regulations promulgated under Code Section 401(a)(9) and Section 8.4.

 

8.6.                             Designation of Beneficiary .

 

In the case where a deceased Participant failed to designate a Beneficiary, the Committee is unable to locate a designated Beneficiary, the Beneficiary predeceased the Participant, or the designation of the Beneficiary by the Participant is legally ineffective, any distribution on behalf of a Participant shall be paid to the person or persons included in the highest priority category in the following order:

 

(a)                                  The Participant’s surviving Spouse, if any; or

 

39



 

(b)                                  The Participant’s surviving children, including adopted children, if any; or

 

(c)                                   The Participant’s surviving parents, if any; or

 

(d)                                  The Participant’s brothers and sisters (whether whole or half-blood); if any, or

 

(e)                                   The Participant’s estate.

 

In the event of either of the following occurrences, a Participant’s Beneficiary designation shall be treated as ineffective, to the extent not preempted by ERISA, and any distribution shall be made as if the Participant had failed to designate a Beneficiary;

 

(i)                                      Subsequent to the designation of an individual as Beneficiary while the individual is the Spouse of the Participant, there is a divorce (except as otherwise provided under a qualified domestic relations order); or

 

(ii)                                   The Beneficiary is a convicted slayer of the deceased Participant.

 

In the event of the Participant’s simultaneous death, for purposes of the Plan, the Participant shall be deemed to have survived.  Payment to a minor shall be made in the manner determined by the Committee in accordance with Section 8.10.

 

8.7.                             Distributions to Partially Vested Participants .

 

If a Participant incurs a Severance prior to becoming fully vested, his interest in the Plan shall be determined and disposed of as follows:

 

(a)                                  In the event that a distribution of Company Contributions is made to a Participant at a time when he is not fully vested in such amounts, the non-vested portion of such Participant’s Account shall be forfeited as of the date of the distribution.

 

(b)                                  A Participant who received a distribution described in subparagraph (a) above may recontribute the amount of the distribution he received as of that date.  The repayment must be made (if at all), however, not later than the date specified below:

 

(i)                                      In the case of a distribution upon Severance, the earlier of the fifth (5 th ) anniversary of the Employee’s Reemployment Commencement Date, or the date on which the Participant incurs five (5) consecutive Breaks in Service; or

 

(ii)                                   In any other case, the fifth (5 th ) anniversary of the date of the withdrawal.

 

(c)                                   If the Participant repays the amount of the distribution within the prescribed time period, the amount of his Account balance shall be completely restored.  Neither the amount recontributed nor the Account balance (previously forfeited) shall be adjusted for gains, losses, or interest in the interim period.

 

(d)                                  If the Participant does not repay the amount of the distribution and he incurs a second Severance prior to becoming fully vested, the amount to be distributed to such Participant

 

40



 

shall be equal to the sum of the amount in his Account as of the date of the second distribution and the amount previously distributed to such Participant multiplied by his vested percentage, minus the amount previously distributed.

 

(e)                                   If the Participant has no Vested Interest in the Plan upon the occurrence of a Severance, the entire balance of his Account shall be forfeited upon such Severance; provided, however, that in the event such Participant is subsequently reemployed by the Company prior to incurring five (5) consecutive Breaks in Service, the amount forfeited will be restored upon the Participant’s reemployment.

 

(f)                                    Forfeitures under this Section shall be used as provided in Section 6.4.

 

8.8.                             Distributions of Deferrals .

 

(a)                                  Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, the amount of a Participant’s Deferrals may not be distributed prior to the occurrence of the earliest of any of the events described below:

 

(i)                                      Severance, death, or Disability;

 

(ii)                                   Termination of the Plan without establishment of a successor plan;

 

(iii)                                Sale of substantially all of the assets used by the Company in a trade or business (applicable only to the transferred Employees); or

 

(iv)                               Sale of the Company’s interest in a subsidiary corporation (applicable only to the transferred Employees).

 

(b)                                  Each Participant who has attained age 59½ may withdraw all, or any portion of, the Vested Interest of his Accounts at any time, regardless of whether such Participant has incurred a Severance.

 

(c)                                   A Participant shall not be entitled to make withdrawals of his Deferrals, other than as provided in this Section.  The Committee shall prescribe such rules as it deems necessary regarding the timing of payments under this Section.

 

8.9.                             Valuation of Accounts .

 

All distributions to Participants or their Beneficiaries shall be based on the amount of their Accounts as of the Valuation Date immediately preceding the date on which their Vested Interests are distributed.

 

8.10.                      Payees under Legal Disability .

 

If any payee under the Plan is a minor, or if the Committee reasonably believes that any payee is legally incapable of giving a valid receipt and discharge for any payment due him, the Committee may have the payment, or any part of it, made to the person (or persons or institution) whom it reasonably believes is caring for or supporting the payee.

 

41



 

8.11.                      Notice Regarding Tax Treatment of Distributions .

 

The Plan Administrator shall provide a written explanation regarding the Code provisions relating to the tax treatment of distributions to each Participant or Beneficiary receiving a distribution any portion of which may be rolled over tax-free to another tax-qualified retirement plan or to an individual retirement account.

 

8.12.                      Hardship Distributions .

 

(a)                                  The Plan may distribute a Participant’s Deferrals Account, Rollover Account and Company Contributions Account in accordance with this Section in the event of a Participant’s hardship and request for withdrawal.  For purposes of this Section, a distribution will be on account of hardship only if the distribution:

 

(i)                                      Is made on account of an immediate and heavy financial need of the Participant; and

 

(ii)                                   Is necessary to satisfy such immediate and heavy financial need, does not exceed the amount required to relieve such need, and is not reasonably available from other resources of the Participant.

 

(b)                                  Immediate and heavy financial needs recognized by the Plan shall be limited to:

 

(i)                                      Expenses for medical care (as described in Code Section 213(d)) previously incurred by the Participant, the Participant’s Spouse or any dependent of the Participant, or amounts necessary for these persons to obtain medical care described in Code Section 213(d);

 

(ii)                                   The purchase (excluding mortgage payments) of a principal residence for the Participant;

 

(iii)                                Payments of tuition and related educational fees for the next twelve months of post-secondary education for the Participant or the Participant’s Spouse, children, or dependents;

 

(iv)                               The need to prevent eviction of the Participant from his or her principal residence, or foreclosure on the mortgage of the Participant’s principal residence;

 

(v)                                  Payments for burial or funeral expenses of the Participant’s deceased parent, Spouse, children or dependents (as defined in Code Section 152 and without regard to Code Section 1529d)(1)(B));

 

(vi)                               Expenses for the repair of damage to the Participant’s principal residence that would qualify for the casualty deduction under Code Section 165 (determined without regard to whether the loss exceeds ten percent (10%) of the adjusted gross income); or

 

42



 

(vii)                            At the Committee’s (or its delegee’s) discretion, such other immediate and heavy financial needs as determined by the Commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service and announced by publication of revenue rulings, notices, and other documents of general applicability.

 

(c)                                   A distribution will be deemed necessary to satisfy the immediate and heavy financial need of the Participant if:

 

(i)                                      The distribution is not in excess of the amount of the immediate and heavy financial need;

 

(ii)                                   The Participant has obtained all distributions, other than hardship distributions, and all nontaxable loans currently available under all plans maintained by the Company or any Affiliated Company; and

 

(iii)                                The Plan, and all other plans maintained by the Company and any Affiliated Company, provided that the Participant’s Deferrals and employee contributions, if any (except for mandatory after-tax employee contributions to a defined benefit plan) will be suspended for at least six (6) months after receipt of the hardship distribution.

 

For purposes of this Paragraph (c), the Participant’s resources shall be deemed to include those assets of the Participant’s Spouse and minor children that are reasonably available to the Participant.

 

(d)                                  The Plan Administrator may require the submission of such evidence as it may reasonably deem necessary to confirm the existence of such a hardship.  A request for distribution pursuant to this Section shall be approved or denied by written instrument given by the Plan Administrator to the Participant not later than sixty (60) days after the date the written request, complete with all evidence with respect thereto requested by the Plan Administrator, is given to the Plan Administrator by the Participant.  In the event that such request is approved, the distribution shall be made as soon as administratively practicable after approval is given by the Plan Administrator from the Participant’s Deferrals Account and Rollover Account; provided, however, that under no circumstance may earnings on the Participant’s Deferrals be distributed pursuant to this Section.  Any distributions pursuant to this Section shall come first from the Rollover Account, then from the Participant’s Deferrals Account and lastly from the Participant’s Company Contributions Account.

 

(e)                                   No distribution may be made from the portion of a Participant’s Rollover Account, Deferrals Account or Company Contributions Account which represents collateral for a Plan loan.

 

(f)                                    If less than the entire balance of a Participant’s Rollover Account, Deferrals Account or Company Contributions Account is withdrawn by a Participant pursuant to this Section, such withdrawal shall be made on a pro-rata basis from all investment funds in which such Account is invested.

 

43



 

(g)                                   A Participant who receives a distribution on account of a hardship under this Section shall be prohibited from making Deferrals under this Plan and all other plans of the Company or an Affiliated Company for a period of six (6) months after receipt of the distribution.

 

(h)                                  All withdrawals shall be subject to such further rules and regulations as the Plan Administrator shall from time to time prescribe and administer in a nondiscriminatory manner.

 

(i)                                      Distributions under this subparagraph may not be made from any portion of a Participant’s Account attributable to Company Contributions.

 

8.13.                      Direct Rollovers .

 

Any Distributee may elect, at the time and in the manner prescribed by the Committee, to have any portion of an Eligible Rollover Distribution paid directly to an Eligible Retirement Plan specified by the Distributee in a Direct Rollover.

 

As used in this Article, the following definitions will apply:

 

(a)                                  “Eligible Rollover Distribution” means any distribution of all, or any portion of, the balance to the Account of the Distributee, except that an Eligible Rollover Distribution does not include:

 

(i)                                      any distribution that is one of a series of substantially equal periodic payments (not less frequently than annually) made for the life (or life expectancy) of the Distributee or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the Distributee and the Distributee’ s designated Beneficiary or for a specified period of ten (10) years or more;

 

(ii)                                   any distribution to the extent such distribution is required under Code Section 401(a)(9);

 

(iii)                                the portion of any distribution that is not includible in gross income (determined without regard to the exclusion for net unrealized appreciation with respect to employer securities); and

 

(iv)                               hardship distributions as defined in Code Section 401(k)(2)(B)(i)(IV), which are attributable to the Participant’s elective contributions under Treasury Regulation Section 1.401(k)-1(d)(2)(ii).

 

For purposes of this Section 8.13, a portion of a distribution shall not fail to be an Eligible Rollover Distribution merely because the portion consists of after-tax employee contributions which are not includible in gross income.  However, such portion may be paid only to (i) an individual retirement account or annuity described in Section 408(a) or (b) of the Code, (ii) to a qualified defined contribution plan described in Section 401(a) or 403(a) of the Code that agrees to separately account for amounts so transferred, including separately accounting for the portion of such distribution which is includible in gross income and the portion of such distribution which is not so includible; or (iii) to a Roth elective deferral account under an applicable

 

44



 

retirement plan described in Section 402A(e)(1) or to a Roth IRA described in Section 408A, and, in each case, only to the extent the rollover is permitted under the rules of Section 402(c).

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, an Eligible Rollover Distribution may include a distribution in-kind of a Participant’s outstanding Plan loan, if such Eligible Rollover Distribution is being made in connection with a corporate transaction entered into by the Company and is specifically provided for in the transaction documents related to such corporate transaction, or if not set forth in the transaction documents, then may be permitted at the discretion of the Committee.

 

(b)                                  “Eligible Retirement Plan” means:

 

(i)                                      an eligible plan under Code Section 457(b) which is maintained by a state, political subdivision of a state, or any agency or instrumentality of a state or political subdivision of a state and which agrees to separately account for amounts transferred into such plan from this Plan;

 

(ii)                                   an individual retirement account described in Code Section 408(a);

 

(iii)                                an individual retirement annuity described in Code Section 408(b);

 

(iv)                               an annuity plan described in Code Section 403(a);

 

(v)                                  an annuity contract described in Code Section 403(b);

 

(vi)                               a qualified plan described in Code Section 401(a) that accepts the Distributee’s Eligible Rollover Distribution; or

 

(vii)                            a Roth Elective Deferral account under a retirement plan described in Code Section 402A(e)(1) or a Roth IRA described in Code Section 408A, in each case, to the extent the rollover is permitted under the rules of Code Section 402(c).

 

The definition of Eligible Retirement Plan shall also apply in the case of a distribution to a surviving Spouse, or to a Spouse or former Spouse who is the alternate payee under a Qualified Domestic Relations Order (as defined in Code Section 414(p)). In the event of an Eligible Rollover Distribution for a non-Spouse Beneficiary, an Eligible Retirement Plan shall only be an individual retirement account described in Code Section 408(a), an individual retirement annuity described in Code Section 408(b) or, effective January 1, 2008, a Roth IRA described in Code Section 408A (to the extent permitted under such Code Section), to which the distribution is directly transferred from the Plan.

 

(c)                                   “Distributee” means an Employee or former Employee.  In addition, the Employee’s or former Employee’s surviving Spouse non-Spouse Beneficiary, or former Spouse (who is the Alternate Payee of a Qualified Domestic Relations Order) are Distributees with regard to the interest of the Spouse of former Spouse.

 

(d)                                  “Direct Rollover” means a payment by the Plan to the Eligible Retirement Plan specified by the Distributee.

 

45



 

8.14.                      In-Plan Roth Rollover .

 

A Participant may elect to roll over a distribution directly to an In-Plan Roth Rollover Contribution Account in accordance with the provisions of the Plan.  In-Plan Roth Rollover Contributions will be subject to the Plan’s rules related to designated Roth accounts.

 

(a)                                  Eligibility .  Only Participants who are Employees may make an In-Plan Roth Rollover Contribution.  A Participant must be eligible for a distribution under the Plan in order to roll over a distribution to an In-Plan Roth Rollover Contribution Account in accordance with this Section.  A Participant may not make an In-Plan Roth Rollover Contribution with regard to an amount which is not an Eligible Rollover Distribution.

 

(b)                                  Form of Rollover .  The Committee may permit an In-Plan Roth Rollover Contribution either by converting to cash any non-cash investments prior to rolling over the Participant’s distribution election amount to the In-Plan Roth Rollover Contribution Account, or by rolling over the Participant’s current investments to the In-Plan Roth Rollover Contribution Account.  A plan loan so transferred in a direct rollover (if such transfer is permitted) without changing the repayment schedule is not treated as a new loan.

 

(c)                                   Source of In-Plan Roth Rollover Contribution .  The Plan permits a direct rollover from all Accounts of a Participant.

 

(d)                                  Amount of In-Plan Roth Rollover Contribution .  A Participant may take an in-service distribution, as permitted under this Section, only for purposes of electing a direct rollover to an In-Plan Roth Rollover Contribution Account.  A portion of the amount that is eligible to be rolled over to an In-Plan Roth Rollover Contribution Account may be distributed solely for the purpose of federal or state income tax withholding for the Participant’s anticipated tax obligations regarding the amount includible in the Participant’s gross income by reason of the In-Plan Roth Rollover Contribution (and the amount withheld for income taxes).  The Plan Administrator may limit the amount of the 100% withholding distribution to the amount the Plan Administrator reasonably determines is sufficient to satisfy the Participant’s federal and/or state income tax liability relating to the Plan distribution.

 

(e)                                   No Rollover or Distribution Treatment .  Notwithstanding any other Plan provision, a direct In-Plan Roth Rollover Contribution is not a Rollover Contribution for purposes of the Plan.  Accordingly, the Plan will take into account the amounts attributable to an In-Plan Roth Rollover Contribution in determining whether a Participant’s Vested Interest exceeds $5,000 for purposes of Code Section 411(a)(11).  Furthermore, an In-Plan Roth Rollover Contribution is not a distribution for purposes of the withholding rules of Code Sections 401(a)(11) (relating to spousal consent) and 3405(c) (relating to mandatory income tax withholding).

 

(f)                                    Withdrawal of In-Plan Roth Rollover Contributions .  A Participant may withdraw amounts from the Participant’s In-Plan Roth Rollover Contribution Account only when the Participant is eligible for a distribution from the Plan Account that is the source of the In-Plan Roth Rollover Contribution.  This provision does not expand (except, if elected, for distributions

 

46



 

for withholding) or eliminate any distribution rights on amounts that a Participant elects to treat as In-Plan Roth Rollover Contributions.

 

(g)                                   Participant Includes Spousal Beneficiary/Alternate Payee . For purposes of eligibility for an In-Plan Roth Rollover Contribution, the Plan will treat a Participant’s surviving Spouse beneficiary or alternate payee spouse or former spouse as a Participant (unless the right to elect an In-Plan Roth Rollover Contribution is limited to Employees). A non-spouse beneficiary may not make an In-Plan Roth Rollover Contribution.

 

(h)                                  Distribution from Partially Vested Account .  Distributions ( i.e. , the source of the In-Plan Roth Rollover Contribution amounts) are permitted only from a Participant’s Vested Interest allocated to a qualifying source.  If a distribution is made to a Participant who has not severed employment and is not fully vested in his or her Account from which the rollover is to be made, and such Participant is able to continue to increase his vested percentage in such Account, then at any relevant time the Participant’s Vested Interest in his or her Account shall be equal to an amount (‘X’) determined by the formula:

 

X equals P (AB plus D) - D

 

For purposes of applying the formula: P is the vested percentage at the relevant time, AB is the Account balance at the relevant time, D is the amount of distribution, and the relevant time is the time at which, under the Plan, the vested percentage in the Account cannot increase.

 

8.15.                      In-Plan Roth Conversion .

 

A Participant may elect to transfer amounts to an In-Plan Roth Conversion Account as provided herein.  In-Plan Roth Conversions will be subject to the Plan’s rules related to designated Roth accounts.  Furthermore, the Participant shall be vested in the portion of his or her Account attributable to the In-Plan Roth Conversion.

 

(a)                                  Form of Conversion . The Plan will transfer investments to the Participant’s In-Plan Roth Conversion Account in accordance with the Plan’s terms and procedures governing Plan investments.  A Participant loan that is transferred to a Participant’s In-Plan Roth Conversion Account (if such transfer is permitted) without changing the repayment schedule is not treated as a new loan.

 

(b)                                  Treatment of In-Plan Roth Conversions

 

(i)                                      No Distribution Treatment .  An In-Plan Roth Conversion is not a Plan distribution.  Accordingly, the spousal consent rules of Code Section 401(a)(11) do not apply due to the transfer and the Plan may not withhold or distribute any amounts for income tax withholding, unless a distribution of other amounts is permitted pursuant to the terms of the Plan.

 

(ii)                                   Withdrawal of In-Plan Roth Conversions .  A Participant may withdraw amounts from the Participant’s In-Plan Roth Conversion Account only when the Participant is eligible for a distribution from the Plan Account that is the source of the In-

 

47



 

Plan Roth Conversion.  This does not expand or eliminate any distribution rights or restrictions on amounts that a Participant elects to treat as an In-Plan Roth Conversion.

 

(c)                                   Definitions and Other Rules

 

(i)                                      In-Plan Roth Conversion . An In-Plan Roth Conversion means an amount that a Participant elects to transfer from an Account, other than a designated Roth Account, into an In-Plan Roth Conversion Account, in accordance with Code Section 402(c)(4)(E) and this Section.  An In-Plan Roth Conversion may only be made with respect to amounts that are not distributable under the terms of the Plan.

 

(ii)                                   In-Plan Roth Conversion Account .  An In-Plan Roth Conversion Account is a sub-account that the Plan Administrator establishes for the purpose of separately accounting for a Participant’s transfers attributable to a Participant’s In-Plan Roth Conversions.  The Plan Administrator has authority to establish such a sub-account, and to the extent necessary, may establish sub-accounts based on the source of the In-Plan Roth Conversion.  The Plan Administrator will administer an In-Plan Roth Conversion Account as provided by Internal Revenue Service guidance and the Plan provisions, including the provisions of this Section.

 

(iii)                                Participant Includes Certain Alternate Payees .  For purposes of eligibility for an In-Plan Roth Conversion, the Plan will treat a Participant’s alternate payee spouse or former spouse who is not an Employee as a Participant (unless the right to elect an In-Plan Roth Conversion is limited to Employees).

 

(d)                                  Distribution From Vested Account .  Transfers ( i.e. , the source of the In-Plan Roth Conversion amounts) are permitted from amounts allocated to a Participant’s Company Contributions Account, Matching Contributions Account, Deferrals Account, Rollover Account; provided, however that transfers from a Participant’s Company Contributions Account and/or Matching Contributions Account are only permitted if such Participant is vested in such accounts in accordance with Article VII.

 

8.16.                      Distributions of Rollovers .

 

Notwithstanding the above, a Participant may withdraw his Rollover Contributions under Section 5.15, and any earnings thereon, at any time, by request to the Committee in the manner the Committee determines.

 

8.17.                      In-Service Withdrawals .

 

Participants who participated in the Chicago Title & Trust Plan on December 31, 2000 may withdraw amounts allocated to their Company Contributions Account designated as “Prior CTT” and amounts allocated to their Matching Contributions Account after five (5) years of participation once in any period of twelve (12) consecutive months.  Any such withdrawal shall be in increments of at least $500.  There are no limits or restrictions on the Participant’s after-tax and rollover balance.

 

48



 

8.18.                      Missing Participants .

 

(a)                                  In the event that the Plan Administrator is unable to distribute a Participant’s Vested Interest in his Account because the identity or whereabouts of such Participant cannot be ascertained, the Plan Administrator will conduct a reasonable and diligent search, using one or more of the search methods described in subparagraph (d) below; provided , however , that if the missing Participant’s Vested Interest in his Account is less than $100, such amount shall be immediately forfeited, subject to subparagraph (c) below.

 

(b)                                  If a missing Participant remains un-located after six (6) months following the date the Plan Administrator first attempts to locate the missing Participant using any of the search methods described below, the Plan Administrator may forfeit the missing Participant’s Account, unless forfeiture is contrary to applicable law.  If the Plan Administrator forfeits the missing Participant’s Account, the forfeiture will occur at the end of the six (6) month period described above and the Plan Administrator will allocate the forfeiture in accordance with Section 6.4.

(a)                                  For purposes of determining the present value of the cumulative accrued benefit of any Employee, or the amount of the Account balance of any Employee, such present value or amount shall be increased by the aggregate distributions made with respect to the Employee under the Plan during the one (1) year period ending on the Determination Date.  The preceding sentence shall also apply to distributions under a terminated plan that, if it had not been terminated, would have been required to be included in the Aggregation Group that includes the Plan.  In the case of any distribution made for a reason other than Severance, death or Disability, the term “five (5) year period” shall be substituted for the term “one (1) year period” in this subparagraph (a).

 

(b)                                  Any rollover contribution (or similar transfer) initiated by the Employee and made after December 31, 1983, to a plan shall not be taken into account with respect to the transferee plan for purposes of determining whether the plan is a Top-Heavy Plan (or whether any Aggregation Group which includes the plan is a Top-Heavy Group).

 

(c)                                   If any individual is a Non-Key Employee with respect to any plan for any plan year, but the individual was a Key Employee with respect to the plan for any prior plan year, or has not performed any services for the Company or an Affiliated Company at any time during the one (1) year period ending on the Determination Date, any accrued benefit for such individual (and the account balance of such individual) shall not be taken into account for purposes of determining whether or not the plan is a Top-Heavy Plan.

 

9.3.                             Minimum Contributions .

 

For any Plan Year in which the Plan is Top-Heavy, the minimum contribution that must be provided for that year shall be determined in accordance with the rules of this Section 9.3.

 

(a)                                  Except as provided below, the minimum contribution for each Participant who is a Non-Key Employee and employed on the last day of the Plan Year shall be not less than three percent (3%) of his 415 Compensation, regardless of whether the Participant elected to make Deferrals for the Plan Year, the number of Hours of Service such Participant completed during that Plan Year, or his level of compensation.

 

(b)                                  The minimum contribution required under subparagraph (a) above shall be reduced by the Company contributions and forfeitures allocated to the Participant, in any other defined contribution plan included in the Aggregation Group that includes the Plan.

 

52



 

(c)                                   Subject to the following rules of this paragraph (c), the percentage set forth in paragraph (a) above shall not be required to exceed the percentage at which contributions (including any Deferrals) are made (or are required to be made) under the Plan for the year for the Key Employee for whom the percentage is the highest for the year.

 

(i)                                      For purposes of this paragraph, all defined contribution plans required to be included in an Aggregation Group shall be treated as one plan.

 

(ii)                                   The rules of this paragraph shall not apply to any plan required to be included in an Aggregation Group if the plan enables a defined benefit plan to meet the requirements of Code Sections 401(a)(4) or 410.

 

(d)                                  The requirements of this Section must be satisfied without taking into account contributions under Chapters 2 or 21 of the Code, Title II of the Social Security Act or any other Federal or State law.

 

(e)                                   In the event a Participant is covered by both a defined contribution and a defined benefit plan maintained by the Company, both of which are determined to be Top-Heavy, five percent (5%) shall be substituted for three percent (3%) in paragraph (a) above in determining the minimum contribution.

 

9.4.                             Non-Eligible Employees .

 

The rules of Section 9.3 shall not apply to any Employee included in a unit of Employees covered by an agreement which the Secretary of Labor finds to be a collective bargaining agreement between Employee representatives and one or more employers, if there is evidence that retirement benefits were the subject of good faith bargaining between the Employee representatives and the Company or whose employment was terminated before the Plan became Top-Heavy.

ARTICLE XIV
LIMITATIONS ON CONTRIBUTIONS

 

14.1.                      General Rule .

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Plan, the total Annual Additions under this Plan and under any other defined contribution plans maintained by the Company or an Affiliate for any Limitation Year shall not exceed the lesser of:

 

(i)                                      $54,000, as adjusted for increases in the cost-of-living under Code Section 415(d); or

 

(ii)                                   100% of the Participant’s 415 Compensation; provided , however , that the compensation limit in this Section 14.1(ii) shall not apply to any contribution for medical benefits after separation from service (within the meaning of Code Section 401(h) or 419A(f)(2)), which is otherwise treated as an Annual Addition.

 

14.2.                      Other Defined Contribution Plan .

 

If the Company or an Affiliated Company is or was contributing to any other defined contribution plan, then the Participant’s Annual Additions in the other plan shall be aggregated with the Participant’s Annual Additions under this Plan for purposes of applying the limitations of this Article.  This rule shall apply whether or not the plan has been terminated.

 

14.3.                      Adjustments for Excess Annual Additions .

 

If a Participant’s Annual Additions in any Limitation Year exceed the limits set forth in Section 14.1 (after application of Section 14.2), then such excess Annual Additions shall be corrected through the Employee Plans Compliance Resolutions System or such other correction method allowed by statute, regulations or regulatory authorities.

 

14.4.                      Termination .

 

In the event that the Plan is terminated on a date other than the last day of the Plan Year, the Limitation Year shall become a short Limitation Year beginning on the first day of the Plan Year immediately prior to the date of termination and ending on the date of termination.  In addition, the applicable dollar limitation for Annual Additions set forth in Section 14.1 shall be equal to the applicable dollar limitation for that Limitation Year multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of months (including any fractional parts of a month) in the short Limitation Year and the denominator of which is twelve (12)).

 

64



 

ARTICLE XV
RESTRICTION ON ALIENATION

 

15.1.                      General Restrictions Against Alienation .

 

Benefits under the Plan may not be assigned or alienated.  The preceding sentence shall not apply with respect to a “Qualified Domestic Relations Order” described below.

 

15.2.                      QDRO Defined .

 

A “Qualified Domestic Relations Order” is a judgment, decree or order (including approval of a property settlement agreement) that:

 

(a)                                  Creates or recognizes the existence of an Alternate Payee’s right to, or assigns to an Alternate Payee the right to, receive all or a portion of the benefits payable with respect to a Participant;

 

(b)                                  Relates to the provision of child support, alimony payments, or marital property rights to a Spouse, child, or other dependent of a Participant;

 

(c)                                   Is made pursuant to a State domestic relations law (including a community property law); and

 

(d)                                  Clearly specifies:

 

(i)                                      The name and last known mailing address (if any) of the Participant and the name and mailing address of each Alternate Payee covered by the order (if the Plan Administrator does not have reason to know that address independently of the order);

 

(ii)                                   The amount or percentage of the Participant’s benefits to be paid to each Alternate Payee, or the manner in which the amount or percentage is to be determined;

 

(iii)                                The number of payments or period to which the order applies; and

 

(iv)                               Each plan to which the order applies.

 

For purposes of this Section, “Alternate Payee” means any Spouse, former Spouse, child or other dependent of a Participant who is recognized by a domestic relations order as having a right to receive all, or a portion of, the benefits payable with respect to the Participant.

 

15.3.                      Impermissible Terms .

 

A domestic relations order is not a Qualified Domestic Relations Order if it requires the Plan to provide any type or form of benefit, or any option not otherwise provided under the Plan, the Plan to provide increased benefits (determined on the basis of actuarial value) or the payment of

 

65



 

benefits to an Alternate Payee that are required to be paid to another Alternate Payee under a previous Qualified Domestic Relations Order.

 

15.4.                      Special Rules .

 

A domestic relations order will not be considered to fail to satisfy the requirements of Section 15.3 above with respect to any payment made before a Participant has separated from service solely because the order requires that payment of benefits be made to an Alternate Payee:

 

(a)                                  In the case of any payment before a Participant has separated from service, on or after the date on which the Participant attains (or would have attained) Earliest Retirement Age.  “Earliest Retirement Age” means the earlier of:

 

(i)                                      The date on which the Participant is entitled to a distribution; or

 

(ii)                                   The later of the date the Participant attains age fifty (50) or the earliest date on which the Participant could begin receiving benefits if he separated from service.

 

(b)                                  As if the Participant had retired on the date on which the payment is to begin under the order (based on the value of the Participant’s Account balances at that time); and

 

(c)                                   In any form in which the benefits may be paid under the Plan to the Participant.

 

(d)                                  If the participant dies before his Earliest Retirement Age, the Alternate Payee is entitled to benefits only if the Qualified Domestic Relations Order requires survivor benefits to be paid to the Alternate Payee.

 

15.5.                      Procedures .

 

(a)                                  In the case of any domestic relations order received by the Plan, the Plan Administrator shall promptly notify the Participant and any Alternate Payee of the receipt of the order and the Plan’s procedures for determining the qualified status of domestic relations orders.  Within a reasonable period after the receipt of the order, the Plan Administrator shall determine whether or not the order is a Qualified Domestic Relations Order and shall notify the Participant and each Alternate Payee of the determination

 

(b)                                  The Plan Administrator shall establish reasonable procedures to determine the qualified status of domestic relations orders and to administer distributions under Qualified Domestic Relations Orders.  All costs, including reasonable attorney’s fees, of the Plan involved in the determination of the qualified status of domestic relations orders shall be borne by the Account of the Participant.

 

15.6.                      Segregation of Funds .

 

During any period in which the issue of whether a domestic relations order is a Qualified Domestic Relations Order is being determined (by the Plan Administrator, by a court of competent jurisdiction or otherwise), the Plan Administrator shall separately account for the

 

66



 

amounts which would have been payable to the Alternate Payee during the period if the order had been determined to be a Qualified Domestic Relations Order.

 

(a)                                  If within the eighteen (18)-month period beginning with the date on which the first payment would be required to be made under the domestic relations order, the order (or modification thereof) is determined to be a Qualified Domestic Relations Order, the Plan Administrator shall pay the segregated amounts (including any interest thereon) to the person or persons entitled thereto.

 

(b)                                  If within the eighteen (18)-month period beginning with the date on which the first payment would be required to be made under the domestic relations order, it is determined that the order is not a Qualified Domestic Relations Order, or the issue as to whether the order is a Qualified Domestic Relations Order is not resolved, then the Plan Administrator shall pay the segregated amounts (including any interest thereon) to the person or persons who would have been entitled to the amounts if there had been no order, or restore the amount to the Participant’s Account, whichever is applicable.

 

(c)                                   Any determination that an order is a Qualified Domestic Relations Order that is made after the close of the eighteen (18)-month period shall be applied prospectively only.

 

15.7.                      Authorized Participant Loans.

 

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, the Committee may prescribe rules authorizing loans from the Plan to Participants.  These rules shall be designed to ensure that these loans satisfy the requirements below and of Code Sections 4975(d)(1) and 72(p), and any other provision of law that is, or may become applicable.

 

(a)                                  The loans must be available to all Participants on a reasonably equivalent basis and must not be made available to Highly Compensated Employees in amounts greater than the amounts made available for other Employees.

 

(b)                                  The loan must bear a reasonable rate of interest, but not to exceed the maximum amount permitted under any applicable state usury law.

 

(c)                                   The loans must be adequately secured.

 

(d)                                  The maximum amount of the loan may not exceed the lesser of:

 

(i)                                      $50,000.00 reduced by the excess of (i) the highest outstanding aggregate loan balance of the Participant’s loans outstanding during the immediately prior one (1) year period (ending the day before the date on which the new loan is granted) less (ii) the total of all outstanding loans the day the new loan is granted; or

 

(ii)                                   The greater of fifty percent (50%) of the Participant’s Vested Interest in his Account determined as of the Valuation Date immediately preceding the date of the loan, or $10,000.

 

67



 

(e)                                   The Committee may establish a minimum amount for any single loan under the Plan, not to exceed $1,000.  Unless the Committee determines otherwise, a Participant may have only two loans under the Plan outstanding at any one time.

 

(f)                                    The Committee shall adopt rules and procedures to provide for obtaining any consents in a manner consistent with ERISA and the Code.

 

(g)                                   Unless the Committee determines otherwise, upon the Participant’s Severance, the entire outstanding balance of the loan shall become immediately due and payable (including interest accrued thereon).  If the Participant has not repaid the entire amount of the loan at the time his benefit becomes distributable, his benefit shall be reduced by the outstanding balance of the loan at the time his benefit is distributed.

 

(h)                                  The loan must state the date upon which the loan must be repaid, which may not exceed five (5) years, except where the proceeds of the loan are used to purchase the principal residence of the Participant, in which case the term of the loan may not exceed ten (10) years.  In all cases, however, the loan shall require substantially level amortization payment (no less frequently than quarterly) over the term of the loan, at a reasonable rate of interest, and shall be evidenced by a legally enforceable agreement which complies with the requirements of Code Section 72(p).

 

(i)                                      Loan repayments will be suspended under the Plan for periods of unpaid leaves of absence and military leave to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, including USERRA.

 

(j)                                     In connection with the making of any loan to a Participant, the Participant will be required to execute such documents as may be required by the Committee or Trustee ( e.g. , a consent to have adequate withholdings made from the Participant’s paychecks to fully amortize the loan over its term).

 

(k)                                  The Committee may charge the Participant the administrative costs incurred in making the loan.

 

(l)                                      A denial of an application for a loan shall be treated the same as a claim for benefits under Article XIII (relating to claims procedure).

 

(m)                              Pursuant to such rules and procedures as may be prescribed by the Committee, the amount of interest that a Participant pays on the loan shall be allocated to his Account.

 

(n)                                  In the event of a default in making any payment of principal or interest when due under the note evidencing any loan under this Section 15.7, if such default continues for more than the maximum cure period set forth in Treasury Regulation Section 1.72(p)-1, Q&A 10, the unpaid principal balance of the note shall immediately become due and payable in full.  Such unpaid principal, together with any accrued but unpaid interest, shall thereupon be deducted from the Participant’s Accounts, subject to the further provisions of this subparagraph (m).  The amount so deducted shall be treated as distributed to the Participant and applied by the Participant as a payment of the unpaid interest and principal (in that order) under the note evidencing such loan.  In no event shall the Committee apply the Participant’s Accounts to

 

68



 

satisfy the Participant’s obligation, whether or not he is in default, unless the amount so applied otherwise could be distributed in accordance with the Plan.

 

69
