F. “Subsidiary” means any corporation of which a majority of any class of equity security is owned, directly or indirectly, by this corporation; provided, however, that for the purposes of the definition of Interested Stockholder set forth in Paragraph B of this Section 3, the term “Subsidiary” shall mean only a corporation of which a majority of each class of equity security is owned, directly or indirectly, by this corporation.
G. “Continuing Director” means any member of the Board of Directors of this corporation who is unaffiliated with the Interested Stockholder and was a member of the Board of Directors prior to the time that the Interested Stockholder became an Interested Stockholder, and any successor of a Continuing Director who is unaffiliated with the Interested Stockholder and is recommended to succeed a Continuing Director by a majority of Continuing Directors then on the Board.

Section 2.

(i) to give or cause to be given written notice to the corporation, immediately upon becoming an Interested Shareholder, of such person’s status as an Interested Shareholder and of such other information as the corporation may reasonably require with respect to identifying all owners and amount of ownership of the outstanding Voting Stock of which such Interested Shareholder is a beneficial owner as defined herein, and
(ii) to notify the corporation promptly in writing of any change in the information provided in subparagraph (i) of this Section 3,

E. A person shall be a “beneficial owner” of any Voting Stock:
(i) which such person or any of its Affiliates or Associates beneficially owns, directly or indirectly; or
(ii) which such person or any of its Affiliates or Associates has (a) the right to acquire (whether such right is exercisable immediately or only after the passage of time), pursuant to any agreement, arrangement, or understanding or upon the exercise of conversion rights, exchange rights, warrants or options, or otherwise, or (b) the right to vote pursuant to any agreement, arrangement, or understanding; or
(iii) which are beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by any other person with which such person or any of its Affiliates or Associates has any agreement, arrangement, or understanding for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting, or disposing of any shares of Voting Stock.

The good faith determination of a majority of the Disinterested Directors shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes of this Article.
Section 6. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Certificate of Incorporation or the bylaws of the Corporation (and notwithstanding the fact that a lesser percentage may be specified by law, this Certificate of Incorporation, or the bylaws of the corporation), the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 80 percent of the voting power of the outstanding Voting Stock, voting together as a single class, shall be required to amend or repeal, or adopt any provisions inconsistent with, this Article.
ELEVENTH: The business and affairs of this corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of a Board of Directors consisting of not less than 8 or more than 13 directors, the exact number of directors to be determined from time to time by resolution adopted by affirmative vote of a majority of the entire Board of Directors. The directors shall be divided into three classes, designated Class I, Class II and Class III. Each class shall consist, as nearly as may be possible, of one-third of the total number of directors constituting the entire Board of Directors.
At the 1985 annual meeting of stockholders, Class I directors shall be elected for a 1-year term, Class II directors for a 2-year term and Class III directors for a 3-year term. At each succeeding annual meeting of stockholders beginning in 1986, successors to the class of directors whose term expires at that annual meeting shall be elected for a 3-year term. If the number of directors is changed, any increase or decrease shall be apportioned among the classes so as to
13
maintain the number of directors in each class as nearly equal as possible, and any additional director of any class elected to fill a vacancy resulting from an increase in such class shall hold office for a term that shall coincide with the remaining term of that class, but in no case will a decrease in the number of directors shorten the term of any incumbent director. A director shall hold office until the annual meeting for the year in which his term expires and until his successor shall be elected and shall qualify, subject, however, to prior death, resignation, retirement, disqualification, or removal from office. Any vacancy on the Board of Directors that results from an increase in the number of directors may be filled by a majority of the Board of Directors then in office, and any other vacancy occurring in the Board of Directors may be filled by a majority of the directors then in office, although less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director. Any director elected to fill a vacancy not resulting from an increase in the number of directors shall have the same remaining term as that of his predecessor.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, whenever the holders of any one or more classes or series of preferred or preference stock issued by this corporation shall have the right, voting separately by class or series, to elect directors at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, the election, term of office, filling of vacancies and other features of such directorships shall be governed by the terms of this Certificate of Incorporation applicable thereto, and such directors so elected shall not be divided into classes pursuant to this Article unless expressly provided by such terms.
No person (other than person nominated by or on behalf of the Board of Directors) shall be eligible for election as a director at any annual or special meeting of stockholders unless a written request that his or her name be placed in nomination is received from a stockholder of record by the Secretary of this corporation not less than 30 days prior to the date fixed for the meeting, together with the written consent of such person to serve as a director.
No director of this corporation shall be personally liable to this corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, provided that this provision shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to this corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of Title 8 of the Delaware Code, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
TWELFTH: No action shall be taken by stockholders of this corporation except at an annual or special meeting of stockholders of this corporation.

The Board of Directors approved amendments to Article ELEVENTH of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation so that such Article ELEVENTH shall read in its entirety as follows:
“ELEVENTH: The business and affairs of this corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of a Board of Directors consisting of not less than 8 or more than 13 directors, the exact number of directors to be determined from time to time by resolution adopted by affirmative vote of a majority of the entire Board of Directors.

(a) |
An Employee who was a five-percent owner (as defined in Section 416(i)(1) of the Code) at any time during the determination year or the look-back year; or.
|
|
(b) |
An Employee who received compensation in excess of $80,000 (or such higher amount as may be established from time to time by the Internal Revenue Service) and was in the top-paid group for the look-back
year.
|
1.26 |
Hour of Service
|
|
(a) |
Each hour for which the Employee is paid, or entitled to payment, directly or indirectly, from an Employer or an Affiliate.
|
|
(b) |
Each hour for which back pay, irrespective of mitigation of damages, is awarded to the Employee or agreed to by an Employer or an Affiliate.
|
|
(c) |
Each hour for which an Employee is paid or entitled to payment by an Employer or an Affiliate on account of a period of time during which no duties are performed due to vacation, holiday, illness,
incapacity (including disability), lay-off, jury duty, military duty or leave of absence. An Hour of Service for which an Employee is directly or indirectly paid, or entitled to payment, on account of a period during which the Employee
performed no duties shall not be credited to the Employee if such payment is made or due under a plan maintained solely for the purpose of complying with any applicable worker’s compensation, disability insurance, or unemployment
compensation law. Hours of Service also shall not be credited for a payment which solely reimburses the Employee for medical or medically related expenses incurred by the Employee. Not more than 501 Hours of Service shall be credited
under this subsection to the Employee on account of any single continuous period during which the Employee performs no duties (whether or not such period occurs in a single Computation Period).
|
|
(d) |
Hours of Service performed for the Employer as a “leased employee,” as defined in Section 414(n) of the Code, shall be taken into account for eligibility and vesting purposes only.
|
|
(e) |
Solely for purposes of determining whether an Employee has incurred a Break-in-Service, an Employee who is not otherwise credited with an Hour of Service under subsection (a), (b) or (c) above, shall be
credited with an Hour of Service for each additional hour which is part of an Employee’s customary work week with an Employer or an Affiliate during which the Employee is on an unpaid authorized leave of absence, provided the Employee
resumes employment with an Employer or an Affiliate upon the expiration of such authorized leave of absence.
|
|
(f) |
Solely for purposes of determining whether an Employee has incurred a Break-in-Service, an Employee who is absent from work for maternity or paternity reasons and who is not otherwise credited with an Hour
of Service under subsection (a), (b), (c) or (d), above, shall receive credit for the Hours of Service for which he would have been regularly scheduled had the Employee performed duties for an Employer or an Affiliate during such
absence. For purposes of such determination, an absence from work for maternity or paternity reasons means an absence (1) by reason of the pregnancy of the Employee, (2) by reason of the birth of a child of such Employee, (3) by reason
of the placement of a child with the Employee in connection with the adoption of such child by the Employee, or (4) for purposes of caring for such child for a period beginning immediately following such birth or placement. Hours of
Service credited for purposes of such determination shall be credited in the Plan Year in which such absence begins, if necessary to prevent a One Year Period of Severance, or, in all other cases, in the next following Plan Year. In no
event will more than 501 Hours of Service be credited for any single continuous period of time during which the person did not or would not have performed duties.
|
|
(g) |
The same Hours of Service shall not be credited more than once under subsections (a), (b), (c) or (d) above. The determination of Hours of Service for reasons other than the performance of duties shall be
made in accordance with the provisions of Labor Department Regulations, 29 C.F.R. § 2530.200b‑2(b), and Hours of Service shall be credited to computation periods in accordance with the provisions of Labor Department Regulations, 29 C.F.R.
§ 2530.200b-2(c).

The Committee shall make all determinations as to the right of any person to benefits. The Committee shall adopt procedures for the presentation of claims for benefits and for the review of the denial of
such claims by the Committee. The decision of the Committee upon such review shall be final, subject to appeal rights provided by law.
|
|
(b) |
Any legal action for benefits under the Plan must be commenced within two years of the date that an initial claim for benefits was filed with the Plan Administrator. The Plan Administrator will be the
necessary party to any action or proceeding involving the assets held with respect to the Plan or the administration thereof. No Employee, Participant, Former Participant or their Beneficiaries, or any other person having or claiming to

General Conditions of Eligibility
|
|
(a) |
Each Employee shall be eligible to participate in the Plan after satisfying the eligibility requirements set forth in the applicable Appendix. For any Employer listed on Schedule B, eligibility shall not
be determined in accordance with any Appendix, but instead each Employee of such Employer shall be eligible to participate in the Plan on the date he or she completes one Hour of Service.
|
|
(b) |
An Employee shall be eligible to participate in the Plan only during those periods during which the Employee is in the Service of an Employer.
|
|
(c) |
A Participant who remains employed with an Employer, but who ceases to be an Employee because of a change in employment status shall become a Former Participant. Accounts of all Former Participants shall
(unless liquidated) continue to be adjusted by other amounts properly credited or debited to such Accounts pursuant to Article VI of the Plan.

Transfers Among Participating Employers

(a) |
If an Employee transfers employment from one Employer to another Employer after he or she is eligible to participate in the Plan, the Employee shall continue to be eligible to participate in the Plan under
the terms of the Appendix that applies to the subsequent Employer, notwithstanding that the Employee may not have met the eligibility requirements of such Appendix. The Employee’s account balance attributable to service with the Employer
from which the Employee transferred shall continue to vest in accordance with the vesting schedule applicable to such Employer.
|
|
(b) |
If an Employee transfers employment from one Employer to another Employer before he or she is eligible to participate in the Plan, the Employee shall become eligible to participate in the Plan under the
terms of the Appendix that is applicable to the Employer to whom the Employee transferred, including any eligibility requirements.
|
3.6 |
Eligibility upon Re-employment
|
|
(a) |
Any Employee who terminates employment with an Employer before he or she is eligible to participate in the Plan and is reemployed by any Employer shall be eligible to participate in the Plan after
satisfying the eligibility requirements set forth in the applicable Appendix. For purposes of this subsection (a), all Service with the Employer, the Company and its Affiliates shall be taken into account except as otherwise provided
under Section 3.7(d).
|
|
(b) |
An Employee who terminates employment with the Employer after he or she is eligible to participate in the Plan and is reemployed by any Employer shall again become a Participant as of the date on which he
or she again becomes an Employee, provided he or she makes proper application, if required under Section 3.2.
|
3.7 |
Service Under Elapsed Time Method
|
|
(a) |
A Period of Service begins on the date the Employee first completes an Hour of Service or the date on which the Employee completes an Hour of Service following a Period of Severance and ends on his or her
Severance from Service Date.
|
|
(b) |
Service shall not be credited on or after any Severance from Service Date. As of a Severance from Service Date, the Participant shall become a Former Participant. A Severance from Service Date is the
earlier of (1) the date on which the Employee quits, retires, is discharged or dies, or (2) the first anniversary of the first date of a period in which the Employee remains absent from Service with the Employer for any reason other than
quit, retirement, discharge or death. If a quit, retirement, death, or termination occurs following an absence for any other reason (such as leave, or temporary lay-off with recall rights), but before a Period of Severance has occurred,
then a Severance from Service Date will occur as of the quit, retirement, death or termination. Notwithstanding the preceding, if an Employee quits, retires, or terminates, and returns to active employment within 12 months of his initial
Severance from Service Date, then his entire Period of Severance will be credited as a Period of Service for eligibility and vesting purposes, although not for contribution purposes.
|
|
(c) |
A Period of Severance is the time between the Employee’s Severance from Service Date and the date the Employee again performs an Hour of Service with the Employer or an Affiliate. If an Employee’s absence
is due to maternity or paternity leave, a Period of Severance shall begin on the first anniversary of the Employee’s Severance from Service Date. A maternity or paternity leave of absence means an absence from work for any period by
reason of the Employee’s pregnancy, birth of the Employee’s child, placement of a child with the Employee in connection with the adoption of such child, or any absence for the purpose of caring for such child for a period immediately
following such birth or placement.
|
|
(d) |
Should an Employee who is not vested in all his Accounts incur a Period of Severance, and again become an Employee, the Periods of Service earned before and after the Period of Severance shall be
aggregated.

Pre-Tax Contributions
|
|
(a) |
A Participant may elect to have Pre-Tax Contributions deducted from his or her Compensation for each pay period in an amount elected by the Participant, which may be equal to any whole percentage of the
Participant’s Compensation for each such pay period not to exceed 25 percent (or such other percentage as may be designated by the Company, in writing, without formal plan amendment).
|
|
(b) |
A Participant may change the amount of, or suspend, his or her Pre-Tax Contributions as of any date.
|
|
(c) |
A Participant who has suspended his or her Pre-Tax Contribution may resume making Pre-Tax Contributions as of any date after such suspension.
|
|
(d) |
Any election described in this Section 4.1 shall be made with the Recordkeeper in accordance with the procedures established by the Committee and the Recordkeeper, and shall be effective as soon as
administratively feasible after receipt by the Recordkeeper.
|
|
(e) |
An Eligible Employee whose date of hire is on or after July 1, 2008 will be deemed to have elected that a Pre-Tax Contribution of three percent of the Eligible Employee’s Compensation be deducted from the
Eligible Employee’s Compensation for each payroll period starting on or after the 60th day following such date of hire and credited to the Eligible Employee’s Pre-Tax Contribution Account, subject to the following conditions and
requirements:
|
|
(1) |
Unless an Eligible Employee elects otherwise, the Pre-Tax Contributions will be invested in an investment fund designated by the Committee that satisfies the requirements for a “qualified default investment
alternative” (QDIA) under regulations issued by the U.S. Department of Labor. The Eligible Employee may transfer all or a portion of the amounts invested in the QDIA to other investment alternatives under the Plan to the same extent as
Participants who affirmatively elected to invest in the QDIA; provided, however, that any such transfer within the first 90 days following the initial automatic Pre-Tax Contribution shall not be subject to any restrictions, fees or
expenses (including without limitation surrender charges, liquidation or exchange fees, redemption fees and similar expenses charged in connection with the liquidation of, or transfer from, the QDIA) and following such 90-day period shall
not be subject to any such restrictions, fees and expenses that are not otherwise applicable to Participants who affirmatively elected to invest in the QDIA.
|
|
(2) |
An Eligible Employee described in this Section 4.1(e) may change the amount of or suspend automatic Pre-Tax Contributions at any time by making an affirmative election under Sections 4.1(b) or (c) in
accordance with rules established by the Committee.
|
|

of his Compensation and Pre-Tax Contributions for the remainder of the Plan Year. If, based on such determination, the Committee concludes that a reduction in the Pre-Tax Contributions for any Participant is necessary or advisable in
order to comply with the limitations of paragraph (1) or (2) below, it shall so notify each affected Participant. In such event, the maximum allowable Pre-Tax Contributions shall be reduced in accordance with the direction of the
Committee, and the contribution election of each Participant affected by such determination shall be modified accordingly.

(2) |
The Actual Deferral Percentage for the group of Highly Compensated Employees is not more than the Actual Deferral Percentage for the group of Non-Highly Compensated Employees multiplied by 2.0 and is not

(i) |
the amount of Pre-Tax Contributions and Qualified Non-Elective Contributions on behalf of each such Participant for such Plan Year (including the amount of any Excess Deferrals distributed to a
Participant), to

(ii) |
such Participant’s Compensation for such Plan Year.

Year shall be distributed in cash to the Highly Compensated Employees on whose behalf they were paid into the Plan, no later than two and one-half months after the end of such Plan Year, if at all possible, and in any event no later than
the close of such following Plan Year. The amount distributed to any such Participant shall be increased or decreased by a pro rata share of the net income or loss attributable to such “excess contributions” as determined by the
Committee in accordance with applicable regulations. If such Participant’s excess contributions are invested in more than one Investment Fund, such distribution shall be made pro rata, to the extent practicable, from all such Investment
Funds. For purposes of this Section 5.3(b), “excess contributions” means, with respect to any Plan Year, the excess of (1) the aggregate amount of Pre-Tax Contributions actually paid into the Plan on behalf of Highly Compensated Employees
for such Plan Year, over (2) the maximum amount of such contributions permitted for such Plan Year under the limitations set forth above, determined by reducing the amount of Pre-Tax Contributions on behalf of Highly Compensated Employees
in the order of their highest Actual Deferral Percentages until the requirements of Section 5.3(a) are satisfied. Excess contributions to be distributed for a taxable year will be reduced by excess deferrals previously distributed under

than the close of such following Plan Year. The amount distributed to any such Participant shall be increased or decreased by a pro rata share of the net income or loss attributable to such “excess aggregate contributions” as determined
by the Committee in accordance with applicable regulations. If such Participant’s excess aggregate contributions are invested in more than one Investment Fund, such distribution shall be made pro rata, to the extent practicable, from all

Participant before the end of the taxable year of the Participant in which such deferrals were made).
|
|
(b) |
If, as a result of the allocation of forfeitures, a reasonable error in estimating a Participant’s annual compensation, a reasonable error in determining the amount of elective deferrals for a Participant,
or other facts and circumstances permitted by Commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service, the Annual Additions to the Accounts of a Participant for any Plan Year would exceed the limitations set forth in subsection (a), such
Participant’s Annual Additions for such Plan Year shall be reduced by the amount required to eliminate such excess in the following order:

such other events permitted under Section 401(k) of the Code.
|
|
(b) |
A withdrawal will not be treated as necessary to satisfy an immediate and heavy financial need of a Participant to the extent that the amount of the withdrawal is in excess of the amount required to relieve
the financial need or to the extent such need may be satisfied from other resources reasonably available to the Participant, as shall be determined by the Committee in a uniform and non‑discriminatory manner on the basis of all the
relevant facts and circumstances. A distribution will be deemed necessary to satisfy an immediate and heavy financial need of the Participant if the Committee relies on the Participant’s written representation that the need cannot be
relieved:
|
|

|
|
(2) |

The maximum amount of any such loan shall be the lesser of (1) $50,000 reduced by the highest outstanding balance of any loan from the Plan during the one-year period ending on the day before the date on
which such loan is made, or (2) 50% of the value of the Participant’s vested Account balance under the Plan.
|
|
(b) |
The minimum amount of any such loan shall be $1,000. A Participant may have one loan outstanding at any time, provided, however, a Participant may more than one loan outstanding if the Participant is

|
|

A loan will be made from the Participant’s Accounts in the order determined by administrative procedures and from the Investment Funds in which such Accounts are invested on a pro-rata basis. Immediately
upon the loan being made, the Participant’s Account balance shall be reduced to reflect the outstanding loan balance. All repayments of principal and interest on the Participant’s note shall be invested in the Investment Funds in
accordance with the Participant’s investment election which is in effect at the time of the repayment. If no election is in effect, or made, the repayments of principal and interest shall be invested in a fund that has as its objective
the preservation of capital, as determined by the Committee.
|
|
(d) |
The note for any loan under subsection (a) shall bear interest at a reasonable rate as shall be determined by the Committee; provided, however, that such rate shall not exceed the maximum rate permitted by
law. Principal and interest under any such loan shall be repaid by any Participant who is an active Employee through payroll deductions; provided, however, that the Participant may prepay the entire unpaid principal and accrued interest
on any loan at any time. The term of such note shall not be for a period longer than five years; provided, however, that, if the proceeds of such loan are used to acquire the Participant’s principal residence, the term of such note shall
not be for a period longer than 30 years. Loan repayments while a Participant is on “qualified military service,” as defined in Code Section 414(u)(5), will be suspended in accordance with Code Section 414(u).
|

Any loan to a Participant shall be secured by such Participant’s vested interest in his or her Accounts hereunder. As a condition of any such loan, the Participant shall consent to such security interest.
|
|
(f) |
A Participant who terminates employment may continue to repay any outstanding loan in accordance with procedures established by the Recordkeeper.
|
|
(g) |
Each Participant to whom a loan is made shall receive a statement of any administrative charges involved in such loan. This statement shall include the dollar amount and annual interest rate of the finance
charge. Such administrative charges may be changed within the sole discretion of the Committee, without formal Plan amendment. Such charges will be deducted from the borrower’s Account balance.
|
|

years, or (3) a combination of the above.
|
|
(b) |
If a Participant dies before benefit payments have begun, the Participant’s vested account balance shall be payable to the Participant’s Beneficiary in a lump sum. If the Participant dies after installment
payments have begun, the Participant’s Beneficiary shall continue to receive the installment payments over the remaining period of time elected by the Participant, provided, however, that the Beneficiary may elect to receive the remaining
vested Account balance in a lump sum.

If the Participant dies before payment of his or her benefits commence, the Participant’s entire interest in his or her Accounts shall be paid within five years of the Participant’s death to the
Participant’s Beneficiary.
|
|
(d) |
Section 10.4(b) and (c) and those provisions of Appendix A that require the Plan to make “required minimum distributions” to participants who have attained age 70-1/2 shall not apply for calendar year
2009. However, the “required beginning date” with respect to any individual shall be determined without regard to this sub-section (d) for purposes of applying Section 10.4(b) and (c) and Appendix A for calendar years after 2009. The
five-year period described in Section 10.4(c) and Appendix A, Section 4(b), shall be determined without regard to 2009. This sub-section (d) shall not apply to any required minimum distribution for 2008 that is permitted to be made in
2009 by reason of an individual’s required beginning date being April 1, 2009, but it shall apply to any required minimum distribution for 2009 that is permitted to be made in 2010 by reason of an individual’s required beginning date
being April 1, 2010.

|
(a) |
“
Distributee
” means a person who is (1) an Employee or former Employee, (2) the surviving spouse of an Employee or former
Employee, or (3) the spouse or former spouse of an Employee or former Employee who is the “alternate payee” under a “qualified domestic relations order”, as those terms are defined in Section 414(p) of the Code. A “Distributee” also
includes the Employee’s non-spouse designated Beneficiary under Section 1.5 of the Plan. In the case of a non-spouse Beneficiary, the direct rollover may be made only to an individual retirement account or annuity described in Section
408(a) or Section 408(b) of the Code (“IRA”) that is established on behalf of the designated Beneficiary and that will be treated as an inherited IRA pursuant to the provisions of Section 402(c)(11) of the Code.
|
|
(b) |
“
Eligible Retirement Plan
” means an individual retirement account described in Section 408(a) of the Code, an individual
retirement annuity described in Section 408(b) of the Code, an annuity plan described in Section 403(a) of the Code, or a qualified trust described in Section 401(a) of the Code, that accepts the Distributee’s Eligible Rollover
Distribution. An eligible retirement plan shall also mean an annuity contract described in section 403(b) of the Code and an eligible plan under section 457(b) of the Code 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. An “Eligible Retirement Plan” shall also include a
Roth IRA described in Section 408A of the Code.
|
|
(c) |
“
Eligible Rollover Distribution
” means any distribution (or withdrawal) of all or any portion of the balance to the credit
of the Distributee, except that an Eligible Rollover Distribution does not include any distribution that is one of a series of substantially equal periodic payments made (not less frequently than annually) 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 years or more, any distribution to the extent such
distribution is required under Section 401(a)(9) of the Code, 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), or a hardship withdrawal under Section 9.6, or any other distribution that is reasonably expected to total less than $200 during the year. A portion of a distribution shall not fail to be an eligible rollover distribution
merely because the portion consists of After-Tax Contributions provided, however, such portion may be transferred only to an individual retirement account or annuity described in Section 408(a) or (b) of the Code that agrees to
separately account for amounts so transferred, including separately accounting for the portion of such distribution that is includible in gross income and the portion of such distribution that is not includible in gross income.

Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity
|
|
(a) |
If an applicable Appendix provides for, and the Participant elects, an annuity form of payment, the Participant’s vested Account balance shall be used to purchase a Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity for
the Participant. With respect to a Participant who is married on the Annuity Starting Date, a Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity is an annuity for the life of the Participant and, after the Participant’s death, an annuity for the life
of the Participant’s spouse, in a monthly amount that is 50 percent of the monthly amount paid to the Participant before his or her death. With respect to a Participant who is not married on the Annuity Starting Date, a Qualified Joint
and Survivor Annuity is an annuity for the life of the Participant.
|
|
(b) |
A Participant may waive the Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity form of payment and elect an alternative form of payment provided under the Plan, including without limitation an annuity for the life of the
Participant and, after the Participant’s death, an annuity for the life of the Participant’s spouse in a monthly amount that is 75 percent of the monthly amount paid to the Participant before his or her death. Any election to waive the
Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity must be made by the Participant in writing during the election period and be consented to by the Participant’s spouse. Such spouse’s consent must acknowledge the effect of such election and be
witnessed by a notary public. Such consent shall not be required if it is established to the satisfaction of the Committee that the required consent cannot be obtained because there is no spouse, the spouse cannot be located, or other
circumstances that may be prescribed by Treasury Regulations.
|
|
(c) |
The election made by the Participant and consented to by the Participant’s spouse may be revoked by the Participant in writing without the consent of the spouse at any time during the election period. Any
new election must comply with the requirements of subsection (b). A former spouse’s waiver shall not be binding on a new spouse.
|
|
(d) |
The election period to waive the Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity shall be the 90-day period ending on the Annuity Starting Date. The Annuity Starting Date means the first day of the first period for
which an amount is received as an annuity.
|
|
(e) |
Within a reasonable period of time before the Annuity Starting Date (and consistent with Treasury Regulations), the Participant shall be provided with a written explanation of the terms and conditions of
the Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity, the Participant’s right to make an election to waive the Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity, the right of the Participant’s spouse to consent to any election to waive the Qualified Joint and
Survivor Annuity, and the right of the Participant to revoke such election and the effect of such revocation.

Qualified Preretirement Survivor Annuity
|
|
(a) |
If an applicable Appendix provides for, and the Participant elects, an annuity form of payment and the Participant dies before the Annuity Starting Date, the Participant’s vested Account balance shall be
used to purchase a Qualified Preretirement Survivor Annuity for the Participant’s spouse. A Qualified Preretirement Survivor Annuity is an annuity for the life of the Participant’s spouse.
|
|
(b) |
A Participant may waive the Qualified Preretirement Survivor Annuity form of payment. Any election to waive the Qualified Preretirement Survivor Annuity must be consented to by the Participant’s spouse in
the same manner provided for in Section 10.8(b) and (c). A Participant may revoke a waiver at any time before the payment of benefits commences without the consent of the spouse, provided that a new waiver shall require a new spousal
consent.
|
|
(c) |
If the Participant dies and the Qualified Preretirement Survivor Annuity has not been waived, the surviving spouse may, prior to the time that annuity payments begin, waive the Qualified Preretirement
Survivor Annuity form of benefit and elect an alternative form of payment provided under the applicable Appendix.

“Determination Date” means with respect to any Plan Year the last day of the preceding Plan Year, and for the first Plan Year, the first day of such Plan Year.
|
|
(b) |
“
Key Employee
” means an Employee or former Employee (including a deceased employee) of the Company or an Affiliate who, at
any time during the Plan Year that includes the Determination Date was an
officer having greater than $130,000 (as adjusted under Section 416(i)(1) of the Code for Plan Years beginning after December
31, 2002), a 5-percent owner of the Company or an Affiliate, or a 1-percent owner of the Company or an Affiliate. For this purpose, annual compensation means compensation within the meaning of Section 415(c)(3) of the Code. The
determination of who is a Key Employee will be made in accordance with Section 416(i)(1) of the Code and the applicable regulations and other guidance of general applicability issued thereunder.
|
|
(c) |
“
Non‑Key Employee
” means any employee who is not a Key Employee and includes an employee who is a former Key Employee.
|
|
(d) |
This Plan shall be “
Top-Heavy
” for any Plan Year if the provisions of any of the following apply:
|
|
(1) |
the Top-Heavy Ratio for the Plan exceeds 60% and the Plan is not part of any Required Aggregation Group of Plans or Permissive Aggregation Group of Plans;
|
|
(2) |
the Plan is a part of a Required Aggregation Group of Plans (but is not part of a Permissive Aggregation Group of Plans) and the Top-Heavy Ratio for the Required Aggregation Group of Plans exceeds 60%; or
|
|
(3) |
the Plan is a part of a Required Aggregation Group of Plans and part of a Permissive Aggregation Group of Plans and the Top-Heavy Ratio for the Permissive Aggregation Group of Plans exceeds 60%.
|
|
(e) |
“
Top-Heavy Ratio
” means a fraction: (1) the numerator of which is the sum of the amount credited to accounts under the Plan
and any other defined contribution plan maintained by the Company or an Affiliate which is required or permitted to be taken into account for all Key Employees and the Present Value of accrued benefits under any defined benefit plan
maintained by the Company or Affiliate which is required or permitted to be taken into account for all Key Employees, and (2) the denominator of which is the sum of the amount credited to the accounts under such defined contribution
plans for all Participants and the Present Value of accrued benefits under such defined benefit plans for all Participants. In determining the Top-Heavy Ratio, a Participant’s accrued benefit in a defined benefit plan must be determined
using the method uniformly used for accrual purposes for all plans of the Company and Affiliate. If there is no such uniform method, the accrued benefit is to be determined as if it accrued not more rapidly than under the slowest rate
of accrual permitted under Code Section 411(b)(1)(C).
|
|
(f) |
“
Required Aggregation Group of Plans
” means (1) each qualified plan of the Company or an Affiliate (including a terminated

Present Value
” of accrued benefits under any defined benefit plan maintained by the Company or an Affiliate shall mean an

11.3 |
Minimum Contribution
|
|
(a) |
Except as otherwise provided in subsection (b), for any Plan Year in which the Plan is Top-Heavy, the Employer contributions (and forfeitures) allocated on behalf of any Participant who is a Non-Key
Employee (exclusive of any Pre-Tax Contributions on his behalf) shall not be less than 3% of such Participant’s Section 415 earnings (as defined in Section 5.5(d) hereof) for such Plan Year. However, should the sum of the Employer’s
contributions, including Pre-Tax Contributions, and forfeitures allocated to the Account of each Key Employee for such Top-Heavy Plan Year be less than 3% of each Key Employee’s Compensation, the sum of the Employer’s contributions and
forfeitures allocated to the Account of each Non-Key Employee shall be equal to the largest percentage allocated to the Account of each Key Employee. The percentage allocated to the Account of any Key Employee shall be equal to the ratio
of the sum of the Employer’s contribution and forfeitures allocated on behalf of such Key Employee divided by the Compensation for such Key Employees. The minimum allocation provided for in this Section shall be determined without regard
to any contribution to or benefit payable under the Social Security law and shall apply even though under other Plan provisions the Participant would not otherwise be entitled to receive an allocation or would have received a lesser
allocation for the applicable Plan Year for any reason. Matching Contributions shall be taken into account for purposes of satisfying the minimum contribution requirements of Section 416(c)(2) and this Section. Matching Contributions
that are used to satisfy the minimum contributions requirements shall be treated as matching contributions for purposes of the actual contribution percentage test and other requirements of Section 401(m) of the Code.
|
|
(b) |
The minimum allocation provided in subsection (a) shall not apply to any Participant who was not an Employee on the last day of the applicable Plan Year or to any Participant to the extent such Participant
is covered under any other plan of the Company or an Affiliate which provides for the minimum allocation of Employer contributions and/or accrual of retirement benefits.
|
11.4 |
Top-Heavy Vesting Schedule
|
|
(a) |
Effective as of the first day of the first Plan Year in which this Plan is Top-Heavy (the “Top-Heavy Effective Date”), the nonforfeitable interest of each Participant in the portion of his or her Employer
Contribution Account shall be determined as follows, provided, however, that if the Appendix provides a faster vesting schedule, such vesting schedule shall continue to apply:

|
(b) |
The provisions of this Section shall not prevent the creation, assignment or recognition of any individual’s right to a benefit payable with respect to a Participant pursuant to a Qualified Domestic
Relations Order (“QDRO”). A QDRO shall mean any judgment, decree or order which meets the basic requirements of Code Section 414(p) and meets the QDRO requirements set out in the Plan procedures, concerning domestic relations orders, as
determined by the final, discretionary authority of the Committee.

The Committee shall establish reasonable procedures to determine whether a domestic relations order is a QDRO and to administer distributions under a QDRO. If any domestic relations order is received by
the Plan, the Committee shall promptly notify the Participant and any Alternate Payee that the order has been received and of the Plan’s procedures for determining whether the order is a QDRO and notify the Participant and each Alternate
Payee (or their representatives) of the Committee’s determination. “Alternate Payee” shall mean any spouse, former spouse, child or other dependent of a Participant recognized by a proper domestic relations order as having a right to

Distribution of Dividends
|
|
(a) |
Cash dividends on L3 Stock attributable to the interests in the L3 Stock Fund allocated to a Participant’s or Beneficiary’s ESOP Account as of the record date of such dividend shall be paid to the ESOP and
held in the L3 Stock Fund unless, in accordance with the Participant’s or Beneficiary’s Dividend Election, they are distributed in cash to the Participant or Beneficiary no later than 90 days after the last day of the Plan Year in which
the dividend is paid.
|
|
(b) |
The Dividend Election shall be made at such time and in such manner as the Company shall prescribe, provided that Participants and Beneficiaries must be given a reasonable opportunity before a dividend is
distributed to make the Dividend Election and must have a reasonable opportunity to change the Dividend Election at least annually. If there is a change in Plan terms governing the manner in which dividends on L3 Stock are paid or
distributed to Participants and Beneficiaries, a Participant or Beneficiary must be given a reasonable opportunity to make the Dividend Election under the new Plan terms prior to the date on which the first dividend subject to the new
Plan terms is paid or distributed. If a Participant fails to make the Dividend Election, dividends on L3 Stock shall be re-invested in the L3 Stock Fund allocated to the Participant’s ESOP Account. The Dividend Election (and the
re-investment of dividends as a result of the Participant’s failure to make a Dividend Election) shall become irrevocable ten business days before the date that dividends subject to the election are paid to the Plan.
|
|
(c) |
Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, dividends on L3 Stock, whether paid to the Participant or Beneficiary or re-invested in the L3 Stock Fund, shall be 100 percent vested at all
times, regardless of whether the Participant or Beneficiary is vested in the portion of the L3 Stock Fund with respect to which the dividend is paid. Such dividends shall not be treated as Annual Additions under Section 5.5, Pre-Tax
Contributions, After-Tax Contributions, Matching Contributions or Supplemental Contributions under the other provisions of the Plan. Dividends distributed to Participants are not subject to the consent requirements of Section 10.5.
|
|
(d) |
In order to receive a hardship distribution under Section 9.6, a Participant must have elected under any currently available Dividend Election to receive the dividends in cash.
|
|
(e) |
Dividends distributed pursuant to this Section are not Eligible Rollover Distributions for purposes of Section 10.6 even if distributed at the same time as other amounts that do constitute Eligible Rollover
Distributions.

the quotient obtained by dividing the Participant’s Account Balance by the distribution period in the Uniform Lifetime Table set forth in Treas. Reg. §1.401(a)(9)–9, 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 Account Balance by the number in the
Joint and Last Survivor Table set forth in §1.401(a)(9)–9, using the Participant’s and spouse’s attained ages as of the Participant’s and spouse’s birthdays in the Distribution Calendar Year.
|
|
(b) |

|
|
(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 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 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 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 Distributions Begin
. If the Participant dies before distributions begin, the Participant’s entire interest will be distributed by December 31 of
the calendar year containing the fifth anniversary of the Participant’s death. 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 Section 4(b) will apply as if the surviving spouse were the Participant.
|
|
(a) |
Designated Beneficiary
. The individual who is designated as the beneficiary under the Plan and is the Designated Beneficiary under section 401(a)(9) of the
Internal Revenue Code and Treas. Reg. §1.401(a)(9)–1, Q&A-4.
|
|
(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 Section 2(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 Treas. Reg. §1.401(a)(9)–9.
|
|
(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
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

quit, retirement, discharge or death. If a quit, retirement, death, or termination occurs following an absence for any other reason (such as leave, or temporary lay-off with recall rights), but before a Period of Severance has occurred,
then a Severance from Service Date will occur as of the quit, retirement, death or termination. Notwithstanding the preceding, if an Employee quits, retires, or terminates, and returns to active employment within 12 months of his initial

resumed employment and then terminated employment on account of death. An individual receiving a “differential wage payment,” as defined in Section 3401(h) of the Code, is treated as an employee of the Employer making the payment and the
differential wage payment is treated as compensation for purposes of Code requirements applicable to the Plan.

withdrawal). A withdrawal will be deemed to be made on account of an immediate and heavy financial need if the withdrawal is on account of:

the financial need or to the extent such need may be satisfied from other resources reasonably available to the Participant, as shall be determined by the Committee in a uniform and nondiscriminatory manner on the basis of all the relevant
facts and circumstances. A distribution will be deemed necessary to satisfy an immediate and heavy financial need of the Participant if the Committee relies on the Participant’s written representation that the need cannot be relieved:

is not includible in gross income (determined without regard to the exclusion for net unrealized appreciation with respect to employer securities), or a hardship withdrawal under Section 9.6, or any other distribution that is reasonably
expected to total less than $200 during the year. A portion of a distribution shall not fail to be an eligible rollover distribution merely because the portion consists of After-Tax Contributions provided, however, such portion may be
transferred only to an individual retirement account or annuity described in Section 408(a) or (b) of the Code that agrees to separately account for amounts so transferred, including separately accounting for the portion of such
