NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1Basis of Presentation
Management prepared these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements for Zebra Technologies Corporation and subsidiaries (Zebra) according to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for complete financial statements. Therefore, these consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in Zebras Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.
The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2007, in this Form 10-Q is taken from the audited consolidated balance sheet in our Form 10-K. These interim financial statements include all adjustments (of a normal, recurring nature) necessary to present fairly Zebras consolidated financial position as of March 29, 2008, the consolidated results of operations for the three months ended March 29, 2008 and March 31, 2007, and cash flows for the three months ended March 29, 2008 and March 31, 2007. These results, however, are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.
Note 2Fair Value Measurements
In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 . SFAS No. 159 permits entities to elect to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected will be recognized in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. SFAS No. 159 was effective for Zebra on January 1, 2008. We have currently chosen not to elect the fair value option for any items that are not already required to be measured at fair value in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The adoption of SFAS No. 159 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements , which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 was effective for our Company on January 1, 2008. However, in February 2008, the FASB released FASB Staff Position (FSP FAS 157-2 Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157), which delayed the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). The adoption of SFAS No. 157 for our financial assets and liabilities did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. We do not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 157 for our non-financial assets and liabilities, effective January 1, 2009, will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
As defined in SFAS No. 157, fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In order to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements, SFAS No. 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three broad levels, which are described below:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs.
Level 2: Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets, but corroborated by market data.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.
-7-
In determining fair value, we utilize valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible as well as consider counterparty credit risk in the assessment of fair value.
Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value as of March 29, 2008 are classified in the table below in one of the three categories described above (in thousands):

2) | The fair value of forward contracts are calculated as follows: |
a. | Fair value of forward collar contract associated with forecasted sales hedges are calculated using the midpoint of ask and bid rates for similar contracts. |
b. | Fair value of regular forward contracts associated with forecasted sales hedges are calculated using the month-end exchange rate adjusted for the discount rate (3 month LIBOR rate). |
c. | Fair value of balance sheet hedges are calculated at the month end exchange rate adjusted for current forward points unless the hedge has been traded but not settled at month end. If this is the case, the fair value is calculated at the rate at which the hedge is being settled. |
Note 3Stock-Based Compensation
As of March 29, 2008, Zebra had a stock option plan and a stock purchase plan available for future grants. We accounted for these plans in accordance with SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payments . Zebra recognizes compensation costs over the vesting period of 1 month to 5 years.
The compensation expense and the related tax benefit for share-based payments were included in the Consolidated Statement of Earnings as follows (in thousands):

Total compensation |
3,417 | 3,338 | ||||
Income tax benefit |
$ | 1,179 | $ | 1,151 |
SFAS No. 123(R) requires the cash flows resulting from the tax benefits from tax deductions in excess of the compensation cost recognized (excess tax benefits) to be classified as financing cash flows in the statement of cash flows. As a result, $51,000 of excess tax benefits for the three months ended March 29, 2008, have been classified as financing cash flows. The excess tax benefits for the three months ended March 31, 2007 was $479,000.
-8-
For purposes of calculating the compensation cost consistent with SFAS No. 123(R), the fair value is estimated on the date of grant using a binomial model. Volatility is based on an average of the implied volatility in the open market and the annualized volatility of Zebras stock prices over our entire stock history. The following table shows the weighted-average assumptions used for stock option grants as well as the fair value of the options granted based on those assumptions:

Navis, LLC. On December 14, 2007, Zebra acquired all of the outstanding stock of Navis Holdings, LLC (Navis) for $143,942,000, which is net of cash acquired and transaction costs. Headquartered in Oakland, California, Navis provides solutions to optimize the flow of goods through marine terminals and other operations managing cargo in the supply chain. The consolidated statements of earnings reflect the results of operations of Navis since the effective date of the purchase. The pro forma impact of this acquisition was not significant.

Note 6Investments and Marketable Securities
We classify our investments in marketable debt securities as available-for-sale in accordance with the classifications defined in SFAS No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities. As of March 29, 2008, all of our investments in marketable debt securities with maturities greater than one year are classified as long-term investments on the balance sheet due to our ability and intent to hold them until maturity.
SFAS No. 115 requires that changes in the market value of available-for-sale securities are reflected in the accumulated other comprehensive income caption of stockholders equity in the balance sheet, until we dispose of the securities. Once these securities are disposed of, either by sale or maturity, the accumulated changes in market
-10-
value are transferred to investment income. On the cash flow statements, changes in the balances of available-for-sale securities are shown as purchases, sales and maturities of investments and marketable securities under investing activities.
Changes in market value of trading securities would be recorded in investment income as they occur, and the related cash flow statement would include changes in the balances of trading securities as operating cash flows.
All investments in marketable debt securities except the partnership interests are classified as available-for-sale securities. We account for the partnership interests using the cost method until our ownership percentage reaches 5% of the total partnership portfolio value, because at that point we begin using the equity method to account for the partnership interest. As of March 29, 2008, we were in the process of liquidating all of our interests in these partnerships, which totaled $10,933,000. This liquidation will be complete by July 2008. For the three months ended March 29, 2008, we did not record any activity related to these partnership interests. No other gains or losses on trading securities were recorded in investment income.
Change in unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are included in these financial statements as follows (in thousands):

Note 8Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Stockholders equity includes certain items classified as accumulated other comprehensive income, including:
|
Foreign currency translation adjustment relates to our non-U.S. subsidiary companies that have designated a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar. We are required to translate the subsidiary functional currency financial statements to dollars using a combination of historical, month-end, and average foreign exchange rates. This combination of rates creates the foreign currency translation adjustment component of other comprehensive income. |
|
Unrealized gains (losses) on foreign currency hedging activities relate to derivative instruments used to hedge the currency exchange rates for forecasted euro sales. These hedges are designated as cash flow hedges, and we have deferred income statement recognition of gains and losses until the hedged transaction occurs. See Note 11 for more details. |
|
Unrealized gains (losses) on investments classified as available-for-sale are deferred from income statement recognition until the gains or losses are realized. See Note 6 above for more details. |

We test the impairment of goodwill each year or between annual impairment dates whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. We completed our last assessment during June 2007. At that time, no adjustment to goodwill was necessary due to impairment.
We evaluate the impairment of identifiable intangibles and other long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.
Factors considered that may trigger an impairment review consist of:
|
Significant underperformance relative to expected historical or projected future operating results, |
|
Significant changes in the manner of use of the acquired assets or the strategy for the overall business, |
|
Significant negative industry or economic trends, |
|
Significant decline in Zebras stock price for a sustained period, and |
|
Significant decline in market capitalization relative to net book value. |
If we believe that one or more of the above indicators of impairment have occurred, we compare the carrying value to the undiscounted cash flows of the asset to determine if the carrying value is recoverable. If the carrying value is not determined to be recoverable, we measure impairment based on a projected discounted cash flow using a discount rate that incorporates the risk inherent in the cash flows.
Note 11Derivative Instruments
In the normal course of business, portions of Zebras operations are subject to fluctuations in currency values. We manage these risks using derivative financial instruments.
Hedging of Net Assets
We use forward contracts and options to manage exposure related to our pound and euro denominated net assets. We record gains and losses on these contracts and options in income each quarter along with the transaction gains and losses related to our net euro asset position, which would ordinarily offset each other.

Hedging of Anticipated Sales
We manage the exchange rate risk of anticipated euro denominated sales using forward contracts and option collars. We designate these contracts as cash flow hedges. Gains and losses on these contracts are deferred in other comprehensive income until the contracts are settled and the hedged sales are realized, at which time the deferred gains or losses will be reported as an increase or decrease to sales.

Note 13Costs associated with Exit or Disposal Activities
During the first quarter of 2008, we initiated two different plans to close facilities. These plans are being accounted for under SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Cost Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities. All exit costs associated with these activities are identified on a separate line of our Consolidated Statement of Earnings, as part of operating expenses. These plans are intended to reduce costs and improve manufacturing efficiency.
In January 2008, we initiated a plan to close our supplies manufacturing plant in Warwick, Rhode Island. This operation is being transferred to a new facility in Flowery Branch, Georgia, which is now our East Coast supplies manufacturing facility. This transition is expected to be completed during the second quarter. As of March 29, 2008, we expect to incur the following exit costs (in thousands):

In February 2008, we announced plans to establish regional distribution and configuration centers, consolidate our supplier base, and transfer final assembly of thermal printers to Jabil Circuit, Inc., a global third-party electronics manufacturer. These actions are intended to optimize our global printer product supply chain by improving responsiveness to customer needs and increasing Zebras flexibility to meet emerging business opportunities. As a result, all printer manufacturing in our Vernon Hills, Illinois and Camarillo, California will be transferred to Jabils facility in HuangPu, China. This transition is expected to take 18 to 24 months to complete. As of March 29, 2008, we expect to incur the following exit costs (in thousands):

Note 14Contingencies
On January 31, 2003, a Writ of Summons was filed in the Nantes Commercial Court, Nantes, France, by Printherm, a French corporation, and several of its shareholders (collectively, Printherm), against Zebra Technologies France (ZTF), a French corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Zebra. Printherm seeks damages in the amount of 15,304,000 and additional unspecified damages in connection with ZTFs termination of negotiations in December 2000 respecting the proposed acquisition by Zebra of the capital stock of Printherm. The negotiation was terminated based on unsatisfactory results of the ongoing due diligence. We believe that Printherms claims are without merit and that a loss is not likely to occur. We will vigorously defend the action.
Printherm filed bankruptcy proceedings on August 30, 2004, and the Commercial Court ordered its liquidation on November 30, 2004. The case was put on hold until the Court-appointed liquidator filed a submission in August 2005, which started the proceedings again. ZTF filed its answer on November 19, 2005, in anticipation of a Court-ordered December 19, 2005, hearing date. In response to a request by Printherms liquidator, the Court postponed the hearing date until March 27, 2008 to provide time for Printherm to respond to ZTFs answer. The Printherm liquidator filed its response to ZTFs answer shortly before the March 27 hearing date. ZTF argued that the filing date provided ZTF with insufficient time to prepare for the hearing, and the Court struck the case from the docket as a sanction against Printherm. Printherms liquidator will now be required to reinstate the case before the Court, and the Court has not yet determined the calendar for doing so.
On April 9, 2008, a complaint was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois by Barcode Informatica, Ltd. (Barcode), a
former Brazilian reseller, against Zebra. The complaint alleges that Zebra wrongfully terminated Barcodes reseller status and tortiously interfered with Barcodes alleged bid for the sale of printers to Brazilian Post. Barcodes
Note 15Warranty . In general, Zebra provides warranty coverage of one year on printers against defects in material and workmanship. Printheads are warranted for nine months and batteries are warranted for three months.

During 2005, Zebra began providing for environmental recycling reserves similar to warranty reserves. In the European Union, we have an obligation in the future to recycle printers. This reserve is based on all new printers sold after August 13, 2005, and printers sold prior to that date that are returned to us upon our sale of a new printer to a customer. The following is a summary of Zebras accrued recycling obligation (in thousands).

Note 16Income Taxes
On January 1, 2007, we adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation (FIN) No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 . According to FIN No. 48, we identified, evaluated, and measured the amount of income tax benefits to be recognized for all of our income tax positions. The net income tax assets recognized under FIN No. 48 did not differ from the net assets recognized
-17-
before adoption, and, therefore, we did not record an adjustment related to the adoption of FIN No. 48. Zebra did not have any unrecognized tax benefits as of March 29, 2008.
Zebra has concluded all U.S. federal income tax audits for years through 2004. The tax years 2004 through 2007 remain open to examination by multiple state taxing jurisdictions.
Zebras continuing practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters as part of income tax expense. For the quarter ended March 29, 2008, we did not accrue any interest or penalties into income tax expense.
The effective income tax rate for the first quarter of 2008 was 34.5% compared with an income tax rate of 34.7% for the first quarter of 2007.
Note 17New Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R),
Business Combinations
, to create greater
consistency in the accounting and financial reporting of business combinations. SFAS No. 141(R) establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer in a business combination (i) recognizes and measures in its financial statements
the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest, (ii) recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase, and (iii) determines what
information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. This statement applies to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and will generally affect
Note 18Subsequent Events
On April 1, 2008, Zebra acquired all of the outstanding stock of Multispectral Solutions, Inc., (MSSI) for $18,000,000 in cash. MSSI is based in Germantown, Maryland, and is a global provider of ultra wideband (UWB) real-time locating systems and other UWB-based wireless technology. MSSI will become part of the Enterprise Solutions Group.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Consolidated Results of Operations
Net sales for the first quarter of 2008, compared with the first quarter of 2007, increased 18.1% with strength in all international regions. Sales from recent acquisitions supplemented continued robust sales growth of our established printer and service lines. Gross margin increased because of a richer product mix combined with higher average unit prices on mobile and desktop printers, improved labor efficiency and overhead spending control. Higher operating expenses resulted from increases in payroll costs, outside commissions, project costs, professional service fees, travel and entertainment expenses, recruiting and relocation costs, offsite meetings. Much of the increased payroll and benefit costs was a result of our recent acquisitions. In addition, amortization of intangibles increased $2,191,000, and we incurred exit costs of $3,234,000 related to the transfer of our printer manufacturing to a third-party manufacturer and the closure of our Warwick, Rhode Island, supplies manufacturing facility.

Net sales in our Specialty Printing Group (SPG) increased 11.3% during the first quarter of 2008, with virtually all growth outside of North America. New printer products (defined as printers released within 18 months prior to the end of the applicable fiscal period) accounted for 19.1% of printer sales in the first quarter of 2008, compared with 12.2% of printer sales in the first quarter of 2007 and 16.6% for the fourth quarter of 2007.
Our international sales are denominated in multiple currencies, primarily the dollar, pound and euro. This directly causes our reported sales to be subject to fluctuations based on changes in currency rates. We estimate that favorable foreign exchange movements of the euro and the pound versus the dollar had a positive impact of $9,315,000 on sales during the first quarter.
We currently hedge a portion of anticipated euro-denominated sales to partially protect Zebra against exchange rate movements. For the first quarter, this program resulted in a loss of $2,788,000. See Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report for a more detailed discussion of this hedging program.

For the first quarter of 2008, unit volumes increased in nearly all printer product lines compared to the first quarter of 2007 with notable volume increases in high-performance tabletop and mobile printers.
Gross profit margin for SPG was affected by favorable foreign currency movements, which increased first quarter gross profit by $8,494,000. A rich product mix combined with higher mobile and desktop average unit selling prices,
-20-
improved labor efficiency and overhead spending control also contributed to the improvement in gross margin for SPG during the first quarter of 2008.
Operating expenses increased primarily due to increases in payroll and benefit costs of $920,000. We also incurred $3,234,000 of costs related to the
transfer of our printer manufacturing to a third-party manufacturer and the closure of our Warwick, Rhode Island, supplies manufacturing facility. In addition, we incurred costs in the amount of $577,000 to move our High Wycombe, UK location into a

During 2007, Zebra acquired three companies which are being combined to make up our Enterprise Solutions Group (ESG). On January 25, 2007, we acquired WhereNet Corp., a provider of active radio frequency identification (RFID) based wireless solutions used to track and manage enterprise assets. On July 2, 2007, we acquired proveo AG, a provider of complete hardware and software systems for tracking motorized vehicles using global positioning systems (GPS). On December 14, 2007, we acquired Navis Holdings, LLC., a provider of software solutions to optimize the flow of goods through marine terminals and other operations managing cargo movement through ports and intermodal facilities. Together, these companies give Zebra the ability to deliver more high-value applications that help our customers identify, track and manage assets, transactions and people.
Sales and gross margins for both 2007 and 2008 are being affected by deferred revenue adjustments mandated by the purchase accounting requirements. Only a portion of the deferred revenue is allowed to be recognized on contracts that were in process at the acquisition dates. In addition, due to the timing of these acquisitions throughout 2007, the first quarter revenue and expense amounts for 2007 only reflect a portion of the operating expenses for ESG.
ESG operating expenses for the first quarter of 2008 reflect normal spending rates and should continue at this rate going forward. Operating expenses for ESG include amortization expense of $3,039,000 for the first quarter of 2008, and $932,000 for the first quarter of 2007. A charge for acquired in process technology $1,853,000 was also included in the first quarter of 2007.
On April 1, 2008, Zebra acquired all of the outstanding stock of Multispectral Solutions, Inc. (MSSI). MSSI is a global provider of ultra wideband (UWB) real-time locating systems and other UWB-based wireless technology. MSSI will become part of the Enterprise Solutions Group.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 29, 2008, Zebra had $306,284,000 in cash and investment and marketable securities, compared with $281,179,000 at December 31, 2007. Factors affecting cash and investment balances during the first three months of 2008 include (note that changes discussed below include the impact of foreign currency):
|
Operations provided cash in the amount of $32,204,000, primarily from net income. |
|
Accounts receivable increased $21,393,000 year-to-date because of higher sales. Days sales outstanding increased to 64 days in the first quarter of 2008 compared to 59 days at the end of 2007. |
|
Inventories increased $3,834,000. Inventory turns remained at 5.6 during the first quarter of 2008 compared to the end of 2007. |
|
Accounts payable increased $2,901,000, due to timing of vendor payments. |
|
Taxes payable increased $12,534,000 because of the timing of tax payments. |
|
Purchases of property and equipment totaled $5,909,000. |
|
Net purchases of investments totaled $16,349,000. |
-21-
|
Purchases of treasury shares totaled $24,600,000. Zebra made open market repurchases of our shares under authorizations of the Board of Directors dated July 30, 2007 and February 25, 2008. An additional 277,187 shares had been repurchased for $9,153,000 as of March 29, 2008, but the cash had not yet been transferred. |
|
Stock option exercises and purchases under the stock purchase plan contributed $667,000. |
In February 2008, we announced that printer manufacturing is being transferred to a third-party manufacturer. This transition is expected to occur over the next 18 to 24 months. See Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report for further information.
Management believes that existing capital resources and funds generated from operations are sufficient to finance anticipated capital requirements. It is our intention to actively pursue opportunities to acquire other businesses.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Management prepared the consolidated financial statements of Zebra Technologies Corporation under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These principles require the use of estimates, judgments and assumptions. We believe that the estimates, judgments and assumptions we used are reasonable, based upon the information available.
Our estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts in our financial statements. The following accounting policies comprise those that we believe are the most critical in understanding and evaluating Zebras reported financial results.
Revenue Recognition
Product revenue is recognized once four criteria are met: (1) we have persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred and title has passed to the customer, which happens at the point of shipment provided that no significant obligations remain; (3) the price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. Other items that affect our revenue recognition include:
Customer Returns
Customers have the right to return products that do not function properly within a limited time after delivery. We monitor and track product returns and record a provision for the estimated future returns based on historical experience and any notification received of pending returns. Returns have historically been within expectations and the provisions established, but Zebra cannot guarantee that it will continue to experience return rates consistent with historical patterns. Historically, our product returns have not been significant. However, if a significant issue should arise, it could have a material impact on our financial statements.
Growth Rebates
Some of our channel program partners are offered incentive rebates based on the attainment of specific growth targets related to products they purchase from us over a quarter or year. These rebates are recorded as a reduction to revenue. Each quarter, we estimate the amount of outstanding growth rebates and establish a reserve for them based on shipment history. Historically, actual growth rebates have been in line with our estimates.
Price Protection
Some of our customers are offered price protection by Zebra as an incentive to carry inventory of our product. These price protection plans provide that if we lower prices, we will credit them for the price decrease on inventory they hold. We estimate future payments under price protection programs quarterly and establish a reserve, which is charged against revenue. Our customers typically carry limited amounts of inventory, and Zebra infrequently lowers prices on current products. As a result, the amounts paid under these plans have been minimal.
Software Revenue
We sell four types of software and record revenue as follows:
|
Our Enterprise Solutions Group has fixed fee software implementation projects , for which we use the percentage of completion method for revenue recognition. Under this method of accounting, |
-22-
we recognize revenue based on the ratio of costs incurred to total estimated costs. If increases in projected costs-to-complete are sufficient to create a loss contract, the entire estimated loss is charged to operations in the period the loss first becomes known. |
|
Our printers contain embedded firmware, which is part of the hardware purchase. We consider the sale of this firmware to be incidental to the sale of the printer and do not attribute any revenue to it. |
|
We sell a limited amount of prepackaged, or off-the-shelf, software for the creation of bar code labels using our printers. There is no customization required to use this software, and we have no post-shipment obligations on the software. Revenue is recognized at the time this prepackaged software is shipped. |
|
We sometimes provide custom software as part of a printer installation project. We bill custom software development services separate from the related hardware. Revenue related to custom software is recognized once the custom software development services have been completed and accepted by the customer. |
Shipping and Handling
We charge our customers for shipping and handling services based upon our internal price list for these items. The amounts billed to customers are recorded as revenue when the product ships. Any costs incurred related to these services are included in cost of sales.
From time to time, Zebra will enter into sales transactions that include more than one product type. This bundle of products might include
printers, current or future supplies, and services. When this type of transaction occurs, we allocate the purchase price to each product type based on the fair value of the individual products. The revenue for each individual product is then
Investments and Marketable Securities
Investments and marketable securities at March 29, 2008, consisted of the following:
U.S. government securities | 19.3 | % | |
State and municipal bonds | 75.1 | % | |
Corporate bonds | 1.2 | % | |
Partnership interests | 4.4 | % |
We classify our debt and marketable equity securities in one of three categories: trading, available-for-sale or held-to-maturity. Trading securities are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term. Held-to-maturity securities are those debt securities that Zebra has the ability and intent to hold until maturity. All securities not included in trading or held-to-maturity are classified as available-for-sale except for partnership interests described below.
Trading and available-for-sale securities are recorded at fair value. Held-to-maturity securities are recorded at amortized cost, adjusted for the amortization or accretion of discounts or premiums. Unrealized holding gains and losses on trading securities are included in earnings. Unrealized holding gains and losses, net of the related tax effect, on available-for-sale securities are excluded from earnings and are reported as a separate component of stockholders equity until realized. As of March 29, 2008, Zebras investments in marketable debt securities are classified as available-for-sale. In addition, as of March 29, 2008, all of our investments in marketable debt securities with maturities greater than one year are classified as long-term in the balance sheet due to our ability and intent to hold them until maturity.
All investments in marketable securities except the partnership interests are classified as available-for-sale securities. We account for the partnership interests using the costs method until our ownership percentage in a partnership reaches 5% of the total partnership portfolio value. At that time, we begin using the equity method to account for the partnership. During 2006, we reached the 5% threshold on one of our partnership interests. During 2007, we liquidated this partnership. During the fourth quarter of 2007, we also liquidated 95% of two other partnership interests, with the balances in all remaining partnership interests to be liquidated in 2008.
Accounts Receivable
We have standardized credit granting and review policies and procedures for all customer accounts, including:
-23-
|
Credit reviews of all new customer accounts, |
|
Ongoing credit evaluations of current customers, |
|
Credit limits and payment terms based on available credit information, |
|
Adjustments to credit limits based upon payment history and the customers current credit worthiness, and |
|
An active collection effort by regional credit functions, reporting directly to the corporate financial officers. |
We reserve for estimated credit losses based upon historical experience and specific customer collection issues. Over the last three years, accounts receivable reserves varied from 0.6% to 3.3% of total accounts receivable. Accounts receivable reserves as of March 29, 2008, were $5,384,000, or 3.0% of the balance due. We feel this reserve level is appropriate considering the quality of the portfolio as of March 29, 2008. While credit losses have historically been within expectations and the provisions established, we cannot guarantee that our credit loss experience will continue to be consistent with historical experience.
Inventories
We value our inventories at the lower of the actual cost to purchase or manufacture using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method, or the current estimated market value. We review inventory quantities on hand and record a provision for excess and obsolete inventory based on forecasts of product demand and production requirements for the subsequent twelve months.
Over the last three years, our reserves for excess and obsolete inventories have ranged from 8.2% to 14.2% of gross inventory. As of March 29, 2008, inventory reserves were $7,967,000, or 8.2% of gross inventory. We feel this reserve level is appropriate considering the quantities and quality of the inventories as of March 29, 2008.
Valuation of Long-Lived and Intangible Assets and Goodwill
We test the impairment of goodwill each year or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. We completed our last assessment during June 2007. At that time, no adjustment to goodwill was necessary due to impairment.
We evaluate the impairment of identifiable intangibles and other long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.
Factors considered that may trigger an impairment review consist of:
|
Significant underperformance relative to expected historical or projected future operating results, |
|
Significant changes in the manner of use of the acquired assets or the strategy for the overall business, |
|
Significant negative industry or economic trends, |
|
Significant decline in Zebras stock price for a sustained period, and |
|
Significant decline in market capitalization relative to net book value. |
If we believe that one or more of the above indicators of impairment have occurred and the undiscounted cash flow test is failed in the case of amortizable assets, we measure impairment based on projected discounted cash flows using a discount rate that incorporates the risk inherent in the cash flows. Net intangible assets, long-lived assets and goodwill amounted to $432,673,000 as of March 29, 2008.
-24-
Income Taxes
On January 1, 2007, we adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation (FIN) No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109. According to FIN No. 48, we identified, evaluated, and measured the amount of income tax benefits to be recognized for all of our income tax positions. The net income tax assets recognized under FIN No. 48 did not differ from the net assets recognized before adoption, and, therefore, we did not record an adjustment related to the adoption of FIN No. 48. Zebra did not have any unrecognized tax benefits as of March 29, 2008.
Zebra has concluded all U.S. federal income tax audits for years through 2003. The tax years 2002 through 2006 remain open to examination by multiple state taxing jurisdictions.
Zebras continuing practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters as part of income tax expense. For the quarter ended March 29, 2008, we did not accrue any interest or penalties into income tax expense.
Contingencies
We record estimated liabilities related to contingencies based on our estimates of the probable outcomes. Quarterly, we assess the potential liability related to pending litigation, tax audits and other contingencies and confirm or revise estimates and reserves as appropriate.
For a discussion of open legal matters, see Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Stock-based Compensation
As of March 29, 2008, Zebra had an active stock option plan and a stock purchase plan available for future grants. We accounted for these plans in accordance with SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payments . Zebra recognizes compensation costs over the vesting period of 1 month to 5 years. See Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report for further information.
Significant Customer
ScanSource, Inc. is our most significant customer. Our net sales to ScanSource, Inc., an international distributor of Zebra products, as a percentage of total net sales, were as follows:

2008 |
March 31,

For the three months ended |
15.6 | % | 16.0 | % |
No other customer accounted for 10% or more of total net sales during these time periods.
Safe Harbor
Forward-looking statements contained in this filing are subject to the safe harbor created by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and are highly dependent upon a variety of important factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from those reflected in such forward looking statements. These factors include:
|
Market acceptance of Zebras printer and software products and competitors product offerings and the potential effects of technological changes, |
|
The effect of market conditions in North America and other geographic regions, |
|
Our ability to control manufacturing and operating costs, including the success of migrating final printer product assembly offshore to a third-party manufacturer, |
|
Success of integrating acquisitions, |
|
Interest rate and financial market conditions because of our large investment portfolio, |
|
Foreign exchange rates due to the large percentage of our international sales and operations, and |
|
The outcome of litigation in which Zebra is involved, particularly litigation or claims related to infringement of third-party intellectual property rights. |
When used in this document and documents referenced, the words anticipate, believe, estimate, will and expect and similar expressions as they relate to Zebra or its management are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. We encourage readers of this report to review Item 1A, Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, for a further discussion of issues that could affect Zebras future

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
There were no material changes in Zebras market risk during the quarter ended March 29, 2008. For additional information on market risk, refer to the Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk section of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007. See Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report for further discussion of investments and marketable securities.
In the normal course of business, portions of Zebras operations are subject to fluctuations in currency values. We manage these risks using derivative financial instruments.
-27-
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)) as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q. The controls evaluation was conducted under the supervision of our Disclosure Committee, and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Office and Chief Financial Officer, have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that (i) the information required to be disclosed by us in this report on Form 10-Q was recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms, and (ii) information required to be disclosed by us in our reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Zebra completed acquisitions of WhereNet Corp., and Navis Holding, LLC during 2007. In our report on internal controls included in our Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2007, we excluded these acquisitions from the scope. For our report on internal controls to be included in Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2008, these acquisitions will be included in the scope. Management is currently in the process of documenting and evaluating the internal controls for these acquisitions.
In January 2008, Zebra began a program to update substantially all of its key financial systems over a three year period. As pieces of these systems are completed, they will be subject to the requirements related to internal controls over financial reporting. The requirements for internal controls over financial reporting will be a fundamental element of the design and implementation of these systems.
During 2008, we made additional changes to our controls and procedures as part of our ongoing monitoring of our controls. However, none of these changes has materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Inherent Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
Our management, including our Chief Executive Office and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within Zebra have been detected.
These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of controls effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.

See Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report.
In addition to the other information included in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, and the factors identified under Safe Harbor at the end of Item 2 of Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks facing Zebra. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and/or operating results.

The Executive expressly agrees that during the term of her employment, she shall not engage, directly or indirectly, as a partner, officer, director, member, manager, stockholder, supplier, advisor, agent, employee, or in any other form or capacity, in any other business similar to that of the Employer. The foregoing notwithstanding, and except as otherwise set forth in Paragraph 8, and provided that none of the following reflects poorly on the Employer or, in the reasonable determination of the Employers Chief Executive Officer, individually or in the aggregate significantly interferes with the performance of the Executives responsibilities as an employee of the Employer in accordance with this Agreement, nothing herein contained shall be deemed to prevent the Executive from (1) otherwise managing her personal investments and financial affairs, or (2) investing her money in the capital stock or other securities of any corporation whose stock or securities are publicly-owned or are regularly traded on any public exchange, so long as (a) the Executive does not beneficially own stock in any such corporation if more than five percent (5%) of the Employers annual sales are to such corporation or if the Employers products comprise more than five percent (5%) of such corporations annual sales, or (b) the Executive does not beneficially own more than one percent (1%) of the outstanding capital stock of any such corporation.

The Executives Base Salary shall be subject to any payroll or other deductions as may be required to be made pursuant to law, government order, or by agreement with, or consent of, the Executive. The Base Salary shall be reviewed at least annually, and may be increased or decreased from time to time as shall be determined by the Employer, and once such Base Salary shall have been increased or decreased, it shall thereafter be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as the Executives Base Salary. Unless specifically agreed to in writing by the Employer and the Executive, any increase or decrease in Base Salary shall not limit or reduce any other obligation of the Employer or the Executive under this Agreement.
B. Performance Bonus . The Executive shall be eligible to earn a performance bonus for calendar year 2008 under the Employers 2008 Management Bonus Plan (the Bonus ) upon the attainment of certain performance measures. The Compensation Committee of the Board (the Compensation Committee ) shall set the performance targets for a given year. The Bonus shall be targeted at forty percent (40%) of the Executives Base Salary (the Target Bonus ), with the actual Bonus earned to be calculated on that portion of the Executives Base Salary actually earned during the calendar year for which the Bonus is calculated. The foregoing notwithstanding, and subject to the final sentence of this subparagraph B, as the Executives Bonus for 2008 performance, the Executive shall receive the greater of the Bonus earned under the 2008 Management Bonus Plan or 20% of the Executives Base Salary actually earned from the Employer for 2008. The Bonus, if any, for a given year (the Bonus Year ) shall be paid in the following year and on or about March 15 of such year, provided, and except as otherwise set
-2-
forth in Paragraph 7B, the Executive must be employed by the Employer and in good standing as of the date that the Bonus is paid to earn any Bonus for the Bonus Year.

The Initial Option shall be granted at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of a share of the Employers common stock as reported on The NASDAQ Stock Market as of the closing of such market on the Grant Date. Upon the date of such grant, the Employer shall provide the Executive with a Stock Option Agreement substantially in the form of attached Exhibit A , which shall describe the terms and conditions of the Initial Option grant consistent with this Agreement.
(2) A restricted stock grant for Six Thousand (6,000) shares of the Employers common stock (the Long-Term Incentive Restricted Stock Grant ) shall be granted to the Executive on the Grant Date. The Long-Term Incentive Restricted Stock Grant shall vest as follows (the Long-Term Incentive Targets ), but subject to the provisions contained in Paragraph 7B, only if the Executive is employed by the Employer at the time of vesting:
(a) twenty-five percent (25%) of the shares subject to the Long-Term Incentive Restricted Stock Grant shall vest if at any time during the period from the Grant Date and ending on September 4, 2012 (the Vesting Period ) the average of the Total Shareholder Return (as hereinafter defined) measured over any forty-five (45) consecutive trading-days is at least sixty percent (60%); and
(b) the final seventy-five percent (75%) of the shares subject to the Long-Term Incentive Restricted Stock Grant shall vest if at any time during the Vesting Period the average of the Total Shareholder Return measured over any forty-five (45) consecutive trading-days, is at least one hundred percent (100%).
If the average of the Total Shareholder Return measured over any forty-five consecutive trading-day period is between sixty percent (60%) and one hundred percent (100%), then the Executive shall vest in the Long-Term Incentive Targets in the aggregate (which Vested Percentage shall include the 25% reflected in subparagraph (a), above), as follows:

56.2% | |
90% but less than 95% |
68.4% | |
95% but less than 100% |
83.8% |
Subject to the provisions contained in Paragraph 7B, any shares which are unvested at the expiration of the Vesting Period as a result of the failure to attain the Long-Term Incentive Targets shall be forfeited.
For purposes of this Agreement, Total Shareholder Return shall be calculated pursuant to the following formula:
(The fair market value of a share of the Employers common stock as reported on The NASDAQ Stock Market as of the close of business on any particular datethe Effective Date Stock Price) + Dividends
Effective Date Stock Price.
For purposes of this Agreement, Effective Date Stock Price shall mean $36.80.
To prevent dilution or enlargement of the Total Shareholder Return, the Compensation Committee shall make or authorize to be made an adjustment to the foregoing formula for Total Shareholder Return to prevent dilution or enlargement of the Total Shareholder Return, as a result of the following: (1) any adjustment, recapitalization, reorganization or other changes in the Employers capital structure or its business; (2) any merger or consolidation of the Employer (other than a Change in Control); (3) any issuance of bonds, debentures, preferred or prior preference stock ahead of or affecting the Employers common stock or the rights thereof; (4) the dissolution or liquidation of the Employer; (5) any sale or transfer of all or any part of the Employers assets or business; or (6) any other corporate act or proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise.

-4-
(4) include the Executive in such perquisites as the Employer may establish from time to time that are commensurate with her position and at least comparable to those received by other executive officers of the Employer.
Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to limit, condition, or otherwise encumber the rights of the Employer, in its sole discretion, to amend, discontinue, substitute or maintain any benefit plan, program, or perquisite.
E. One-Time Sign-On Bonus . The Executive shall receive a one-time, lump sum sign-on bonus in the gross amount of $25,000 (the Sign-On Bonus ) upon her signing this Agreement and commencing her employment on the Effective Date. If the Executives employment with the Employer ends for any reason other than termination by the Company without Cause (as defined in subparagraph 6B) or by the Executive for Good Reason (as defined in subparagraph 6D), the Executive shall be obligated immediately to repay to the Employer the full amount of the Sign-On Bonus.

While employed by the Employer, the Executive shall be entitled to receive prompt reimbursement for all reasonable and necessary business expenses incurred by the Executive, in accordance with the practices and policies applicable to other executive officers of the Employer, including professional and service company dues, journal subscriptions, educational seminars, conferences, and symposiums and as required by the Internal Revenue Service to qualify as ordinary and necessary business expenses under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code ). The Executive shall be entitled to receive prompt reimbursement for travel expenses incurred in connection with the performance of her duties under this Agreement. To receive reimbursement, the Executive shall submit to the Employer such vouchers or expense statements that reasonably evidence expenses incurred in accordance with the Employers travel and expense reimbursement policy.
6. Termination . The Executives services shall terminate upon the first to occur of the following events:
A. Death or Disability . Upon the Executives date of death or the date the Executive is given written notice that she has been determined to be disabled by the Employer. For purposes of this Agreement, the Executive shall be deemed to be disabled if the Executive, as a result of illness or incapacity, shall be unable to perform substantially her required duties for a period of one hundred eighty (180) consecutive days; provided, however, that if the Executive, after being unable to perform substantially her required duties for a period of less than one hundred eighty (180) consecutive days as a result of illness or incapacity returns to active duty for less than thirty (30) days, the period of such active duty will be disregarded in determining whether the 180 consecutive day threshold has been accumulated (although it will not be accumulated as part of the 180 day period). A termination of the Executives employment by the Employer for disability shall be communicated to the Executive by written notice and shall be effective on the tenth (10th) business day after receipt of such notice by the Executive, unless the Executive returns to full-time performance of her duties before such tenth (10th) business day.
-5-
B. Cause Termination . On the date the Chief Executive Officer or his designee provides the Executive with written notice that she is being terminated for Cause. For purposes of this Agreement, and as determined by the Chief Executive Officer or his designee in his sole discretion, the Executive shall be deemed terminated for Cause if the Chief Executive Officer or his designee terminates the Executive after the Executive:
(1) shall have committed, been indicted of, or been convicted of, or admitted, plea bargained, entered a plea of no contest or nolo contendere to, any felony of any kind or a misdemeanor, or violated any laws, involving fraud, dishonesty or an act of moral turpitude;
(2) shall have materially breached this Agreement or any other agreement to which the Executive and the Employer are parties;
(3) shall have materially violated any written Employer policy, regardless of whether within or outside the scope of her authority;
(4) shall have committed willful or intentional misconduct, gross negligence, or dishonest, fraudulent or unethical behavior, or other conduct involving serious moral turpitude in the performance of her duties hereunder;
(5) shall have failed or refused to materially comply (to the best of her ability) with a specific direction of the Employer, unless the Executive reasonably and in good faith believes such specific direction to be unlawful (in which case the Employers termination of the Executives employment shall not be for Cause under this provision); or
(6) engages in any conduct which breaches her fiduciary duty to the Employer, which materially injures the integrity, character or reputation of the Employer or which impugns Executives own integrity, character or reputation so as to cause Executive to be unfit to act in the capacity of an executive officer of the Employer.
A termination of employment by the Employer for Cause under subparagraphs 6B(2), (3), (4), (5) or (6) shall be effectuated by the Chief Executive Officer or his designee giving the Executive written notice of the termination within thirty (30) days of the event constituting Cause, or such longer period as the parties may agree, setting forth in reasonable detail the specific conduct of the Executive that constitutes Cause, the specific provisions of this Agreement on which the Employer relies and, to the extent such Cause is susceptible to cure, providing the Executive with a thirty (30) day cure period. If such Cause is susceptible to cure and the Executive fails to remedy the condition within such thirty (30) day cure period, the Employer may terminate the Executives employment within thirty (30) days after the expiration of the cure period, and if the Employer fails to so terminate the Executives employment, any subsequent termination based upon the same underlying facts shall not constitute a termination for Cause under this subparagraph 6B.
C. Employer Termination . On the date the Employer terminates the Executives employment for any reason, other than a reason otherwise set forth in this Paragraph 6.
-6-
D. Good Reason Termination . On the date the Executive terminates her employment for Good Reason. The term Good Reason means the occurrence of any one of the following:
(1) demotion of the Executive by the Employer to a non-executive officer position (including a material diminution in the status of the Executives responsibilities, authorities, powers or duties taken as a whole) or assignment to the Executive of any duties materially inconsistent with her position, status or responsibilities under this Agreement;
(2) material breach of any provision of this Agreement by the Employer; or
(3) decrease in Base Salary as in effect on the Effective Date in an amount equal to or greater than ten percent (10%) (unless such decrease is applied on a proportionally equal basis to all executive officers of the Employer) (an Applicable Decrease ), but only if the Executive terminates her employment with the Employer as a result of an Applicable Decrease within fifteen (15) business days of the later of (i) the effective date of the Applicable Decrease, or (ii) the Executives actual knowledge of Applicable Decrease ( Applicable Decrease Date ). For clarification purposes, should the Executive fail to terminate her employment with the Employer within fifteen (15) business days of the Applicable Decrease Date, such termination shall not constitute termination of employment by the Executive for Good Reason under this provision.
A termination of employment by the Executive for Good Reason under subparagraph 6D(1) or (2) shall be effectuated by giving the Employer written notice of the termination within thirty (30) days of the event constituting Good Reason, setting forth in reasonable detail the specific conduct of the Employer that constitutes Good Reason and the specific provisions of this Agreement on which Executive relies and providing the Employer with a thirty (30) day period during which it may remedy the condition constituting Good Reason. If the Employer fails to remedy the condition within such thirty (30) day period, the Executive must terminate her employment within thirty (30) days after the expiration of the cure period, and if the Executive fails to so terminate her employment, any subsequent termination based upon the same underlying facts shall not constitute a termination for Good Reason under this subparagraph 6D.
E. Resignation . On the date the Executive terminates her employment for any reason (other than Good Reason), provided that the Executive shall give the Chief Executive Officer sixty (60) days written notice prior to such date of her intention to terminate such employment. The Chief Executive Officer or his designee may, in its sole discretion, waive such sixty (60) day notice requirement.
7. Compensation Upon Termination .
A. Final Payments . If the Executives services are terminated pursuant to Paragraph 6, the Executive shall be entitled to her salary through her final date of active employment plus any accrued but unused vacation pay. The Executive also shall be entitled to any benefits mandated under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 ( COBRA ) or required under the terms of any death, insurance, or retirement plan, program, or agreement provided by the Employer and to which the Executive is a party or in which the
-7-
Executive is a participant, including, but not limited to, any short-term or long-term disability plan or program, if applicable.
B. Severance Benefits .
(1) In addition to the salary and benefits described in Paragraph 7A, if the Executives employment is terminated pursuant to Paragraphs 6C or 6D, the Executive shall be entitled to the following: (i) the continuation of her Base Salary at the annual salary rate then in effect (before any reduction under Paragraph 6D(3) which is made on a proportionally equal basis to all executive officers and which is made within the one (1) year period preceding the date the Executives employment is terminated), for a period of one year following the termination of the Executives employment (the Severance Period ), payable in accordance with the Employers payroll policy from time to time in effect and subject to the limitations imposed under subparagraph 7B(3); (ii) a pro-rata portion of the Bonus for the year in which the Executives employment terminates, if such Bonus would have been earned had the Executive been employed and in good standing as of the date the Bonus otherwise is paid to other senior level executive of the Employer, and payable at the time the Bonus otherwise is paid to other senior level executives of the Employer; (iii) the Bonus attributable to the calendar year prior to the calendar year in which the Executives employment terminates, if such Bonus would have been earned had the Executive been employed and in good standing as of the date the Bonus otherwise is paid to other senior level executive of the Employer, and provided such Bonus had not yet been paid in accordance with the timing provisions set forth in Paragraph 4B, and payable at the time the Bonus otherwise is paid to other senior level executives of the Employer; (iv) a payment equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the Target Bonus (before any reduction under Paragraph 6D(3) which is made on a proportionally equal basis to all executive officers and which is made within the one (1) year period preceding the date the Executives employment is terminated), based upon the Base Salary for such year, to be paid at the same time that performance bonuses are generally paid by the Employer to its executives for the year in which such termination occurs; (v) equity compensation, if any, subject to the terms of the Executives award agreement; (vi) professional outplacement services by a company selected by, and paid by, the Employer within one (1) year after the date of termination, in an amount not to exceed $32,000; and (vii) continued coverage of the Executive and her dependents in the medical and dental insurance plans sponsored by the Employer, as mandated by COBRA, which may continue to the extent required by applicable law and the Employer shall pay for such coverage, at the same rate the Employer pays for health insurance coverage for its active employees under its group health plan (with the Executive required to pay for any employee-paid portion of such coverage), through the earlier of (a) the last day of the Severance Period or (b) the date the Executive becomes eligible for coverage under another group health plan that does not impose preexisting condition limitations on the Executives coverage, provided, however, that nothing herein shall be construed to extend the period of time over which such COBRA continuation coverage may be provided to the Executive and her dependents beyond that mandated by law and, provided further, that the Executive shall be required to pay the entire cost of such COBRA continuation coverage for any time following the last day of the Severance Period.
(2) The foregoing notwithstanding, if at any time within one hundred twenty (120) days immediately preceding or one (1) year immediately following a Change in Control, the
-8-
Executives employment is terminated pursuant to Paragraph 6C or 6D, the Executive shall be entitled to the following compensation, in lieu of any payments otherwise set forth in Paragraph 7B(1) above, and payable within sixty (60) days following the later of the Change in Control or the termination, subject, however, to the limitations imposed under subparagraph 7B(3): two (2.0) times the Executives Base Salary at the annual rate then in effect (before any reduction under Paragraph 6D(3) which is made on a proportionally equal basis to all executive officers and which is made within the one (1) year period preceding the date the Executives employment is terminated) and two (2.0) times the Target Bonus (before any reduction under Paragraph 6D(3) which is made on a proportionally equal basis to all executive officers and which is made within the one (1) year period preceding the date the Executives employment is terminated), based upon the Base Salary for such year. In addition, upon the termination of the Executives employment as set forth in this subparagraph 7B(2) the Executive and her dependents shall be offered continued coverage under the Employers group health plan for the duration of the COBRA continuation period on the same financial terms as described above in subparagraph 7B(1)(vii) and shall also be entitled to the compensation and benefits, if any, set forth in subparagraphs 7B(1)(ii), (iii), (v) and (vi), above.
(3) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Executive is a specified employee as such term is defined under Section 409A of the Code and the regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder, any payments described in this Paragraph 7B shall be delayed for a period of six (6) months following the Executives separation of employment to the extent and up to an amount necessary to ensure such payments are not subject to the penalties and interest under Section 409A of the Code. The payments to be made under this Paragraph 7B shall be further conditioned upon the Executives execution of an agreement acceptable to the Employer that (i) waives any rights the Executive may otherwise have against the Employer, and (ii) releases the Employer from actions, suits, claims, proceedings and demands related to the period of employment and/or the termination of employment. For purposes of this Paragraph 7B, Change in Control shall be as defined under the 2006 Incentive Compensation Plan, as in effect on the date hereof, which definition is incorporated herein by reference; provided, however, the definition of Change in Control as set forth herein is not intended to be broader than the definition of a change in control event as defined by reference to the regulations under Section 409A of the Code, and the payments described in Paragraph 7B(2) shall not be payable unless the applicable Change in Control constitutes a change in control event in accordance with Section 409A of the Code and the regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder.
C. Excise Tax . If it shall be determined that any payment to the Executive pursuant to this Agreement or any other payment or benefit from the Employer, any affiliate, any shareholder of the Employer or any other person would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code because such payment equals or exceeds three times the Base Amount (as defined under Section 280G of the Code) by an amount in excess of ten percent (10%) of such three times the Base Amount, then the Executive shall receive a Tax Gross-Up Payment (as defined below) with respect to all such excise taxes. Tax Gross-Up Payment means an amount payable to the Executive such that, after payment of Taxes (as defined below) on such amount there remains a balance sufficient to pay the Taxes being reimbursed. Taxes means the incremental United States federal, state and local income, excise and other taxes
-9-
payable by the Executive with respect to any applicable item of income. If it shall be determined that any payment to the Executive pursuant to this Agreement or any other payment or benefit from the Employer, any affiliate, any shareholder of the Employer or any other person would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code because such payment exceeds three times the Base Amount by an amount equal to ten percent (10%) or less of such three times the Base Amount, then the amount of any payments hereunder which shall be paid to the Executive shall be reduced to an amount equal to one dollar less than three times the Base Amount.
8. Restrictive Covenants .
A. Confidentiality .
(1) Confidential Information . The Executive understands that the Employer possesses Confidential Information which is important to its business, the Employer devotes significant financial, human and other resources to the development of its products, its customer base and the general goodwill associated with its business and the Employer diligently maintains the secrecy and confidentiality of its Confidential Information.

(a) All Confidential Information and trade secret rights, and other intellectual property and rights (collectively Rights ) in connection therewith will be the sole property of the Employer. At all times, both during the Executives employment by the Employer and after its termination for any reason, Executive will keep in confidence and trust and will not use or disclose any Confidential Information or anything relating to it without the prior written consent of the Chief Executive Officer or his designee, except as may be necessary and appropriate in the ordinary course of performing the Executives duties to the Employer.
(b) All Employer Materials will be the sole property of the Employer. The Executive agrees that during the Executives employment by the Employer, the Executive will not remove any Employer Materials from the business premises of the Employer or deliver any Employer Materials to any person or entity outside the Employer, except in connection with performing the duties of her employment. The Executive further agrees that, immediately upon the termination of the Executives employment by the Executive or by the Employer for any reason, or during the Executives employment if so requested by the Employer, the Executive will return all Employer Materials, apparatus, equipment and other physical property, or any reproduction of such property, excepting only the Executives copy of this Agreement.
B. Noncompetition and Nonsolicitation . While employed by the Employer and for a period of twenty-four (24) consecutive months following the date of termination of employment for any reason, the Executive will not directly or indirectly:
(1) Contact, solicit, interfere with or divert any of the Employers customers;
(2) Accept employment or engage in a competing business, or engage in any activity that may result in the disclosure, divulging or otherwise use of Confidential Information acquired during Executives employment with the Employer; and

-11-
business, provided, however, that nothing contained in this Paragraph 8C or any other paragraph of this Agreement shall preclude the Executive from making any statement in good faith that is required by law or order of any court or regulatory commission.
D. Forfeitures . In the event that the Executive breaches any of the restrictions in this Paragraph 8, she shall forfeit all of the applicable payments and benefits under this Agreement, including but not limited to such payments and benefits pursuant to Paragraph 7, and the Employer shall have the right to recapture and seek repayment of any such applicable payments and benefits under this Agreement. The Employer and the Executive acknowledge that the remedy set forth hereunder is not to be considered a form of liquidated damages and the forfeiture, recapture or repayment shall not be the exclusive remedy hereunder.
E. Intellectual Property . The Employer has adopted a policy on Inventions intended to encourage research and inventions by its executives, to appraise and determine relative rights and equities of all parties concerned, to facilitate patent applications, licensing, and the generation of royalties, if any, and to provide a uniform procedure in patent matters when the Employer has a right or equity. Inventions includes all improvements, inventions, designs, formulas, works of authorship, trade secrets, technology, computer programs, compositions, ideas, processes, techniques, know-how and data, whether or not patentable, made or conceived or reduced to practice or developed by the Executive, either alone or jointly with others, during the term of the Executives employment, including during any period prior to the date of this Agreement.
(1) Ownership and Assignment . Except as defined in this Agreement, all Inventions which the Executive makes, conceives, reduces to practice or develops (in whole or in part, either alone or jointly with others) during her employment will be the sole property of the Employer to the maximum extent permitted by law. The Executive agrees to assign such Inventions and all Rights in them to the Employer. Exemptions from this Agreement to assign may be authorized in those circumstances where the mission of the Employer is better served by such action, provided that overriding obligations to other parties are met and such exemptions are not inconsistent with other Employer policies. Further, the Executive may petition the Employer for license to make, market or sell a particular Invention. The Employer may release patent rights to the inventor in those circumstances when:
(a) the Employer provides the Executive with notification in writing that it elects not to file a patent application and the inventor is prepared to do so at her expense, or
(b) at the Employers discretion, the equity of the situation indicates that such release should be given, provided in either case that no further research or development to develop that invention will be conducted involving Employer support or facilities, and provided further that a shop right is granted to the Employer and, at the Employers discretion, the Employer shall have a royalty-free, assignable license to the Invention and any intellectual property rights related to it.
The provisions of Paragraph 8E(1) do not apply to an Invention for which no equipment, supplies, facility, or trade secret information of the Employer was used and which was developed entirely on the Executives own time, unless (a) the Invention relates (1) to the business of the
-12-
Employer, or (2) to the Employers actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development, or (b) the Invention results from any work performed by the Executive for the Employer.
(2) Disclosure to the Employer . The Executive promptly will disclose in writing to the Chief Executive Officer, with a copy to the General Counsel of the Employer, all Inventions. The Executive also will disclose to the General Counsel of the Employer all things that would be Inventions if made during the term of the Executives employment, conceived, reduced to practice, or developed by the Executive within six months after the termination of her employment with the Employer, unless the Executive can demonstrate that the Invention has been conceived and first reduced to practice by the Executive following the termination of her employment with the Employer. Such disclosures will be received by the Employer in confidence (to the extent they are not assigned in this Paragraph and do not extend the assignment made in this Paragraph.) The Executive will not disclose Inventions to any person outside the Employer unless requested to do so by the Chief Executive Officer or the General Counsel of the Employer.
(3) Assistance with Rights . The Executive agrees to perform, during and after employment, all acts deemed necessary or desirable by the Employer to permit and assist it, at the Employers expense, in obtaining, maintaining, defending and enforcing Rights with respect to such Inventions and improvements in any and all countries. Such acts may include, but are not limited to, execution of documents and assistance or cooperation in legal proceedings. The Executive agrees to execute such declarations, assignments, or other documents as may be necessary in the course of Invention evaluation, patent prosecution, or protection of patent or analogous property rights, to assure that title in such Inventions will be held by the Employer or by such other parties designated by the Employer as may be appropriate under the circumstances. The Executive irrevocably designates and appoints the Employer and its duly authorized officers and agents, as her agents and attorneys-in-fact to act for and on the Executives behalf and instead of the Executive, to execute and file any documents and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the above purposes with the same legal force and effect as if executed by the Executive.
(4) Moral Rights . Any assignment of copyright pursuant to this Agreement includes all rights of paternity, integrity, disclosure and withdrawal and any other rights that may be known as or referred to as moral rights (collectively Moral Rights ). To the extent such Moral Rights cannot be assigned under applicable law and to the extent the following is allowed by the laws in the various countries where Moral Rights exist, Executive hereby waives such Moral Rights and consents to any action of the Employer that would violate such Moral Rights in the absence of such consent. The Executive will confirm any such waivers and consents from time to time as requested by the Employer.
F. No Conflicts . The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Executive does not conflict with, or result in a breach of or constitute a default under, any agreement or contract, whether oral or written, to which the Executive is a party or by which the Executive may be bound. In addition, the Executive has informed the Employer of, and provided the Employer with copies of, any non-competition, confidentiality, work-for-hire or similar agreements to which the Executive is subject or may be bound.
-13-
G. Disclosure . The Executive acknowledges and agrees that the scope described above is necessary and reasonable in order to protect the Employer in the conduct of its business and that, if the Executive becomes employed by another employer, she shall be required to disclose the existence of this Paragraph 8 to such employer and the Executive hereby consents to and the Employer is hereby given permission to disclose the existence of this Paragraph 8 to such employer.
H. Market Information . The Executive acknowledges that she may become aware of material nonpublic information relating to the Employers vendors, suppliers, alliance and/or joint venture partners, customers, or competitors (each, a Business Partner ) whose stocks are publicly traded. The Executive acknowledges that she is prohibited by law as well as by Employer policy from trading in the shares of such Business Partners while in possession of such information or directly or indirectly disclosing such information to any other persons so that they may trade in these shares. For purposes of this Paragraph H, material information may include any information, positive or negative, which might be of significance to an investor in determining whether to purchase, sell or hold the stock of publicly traded customers. Information may be significant for this purpose even if it would not alone determine the investors decision. Examples include a potential business acquisition, internal financial information that departs in any way from what the market would expect, the acquisition or loss of a major contract, or an important financing transaction.
I. Unauthorized Material . The Employer does not wish to incorporate any unlicensed or unauthorized material into its products or services or those of its subsidiaries. Therefore, the Executive agrees that she will not knowingly disclose to the Employer, use in the Employers business, or cause the Employer to use, any information or material which is confidential or proprietary to any third party including, but not limited to, any former employer, competitor or client, unless the Employer has a right to receive and use such information. The Executive will not incorporate into her work any material which is subject to the copyrights of any third party unless the Employer has a written agreement with such third party or otherwise has the right to receive and use such information.
J. Injunctive Relief . It is agreed that any breach or anticipated or threatened breach of any of the Executives covenants contained in this Paragraph 8 will result in irreparable harm and continuing damages to the Employer and its business and that the Employers remedy at law for any such breach or anticipated or threatened breach will be inadequate and, accordingly, in addition to any and all other remedies that may be available to the Employer at law or in equity in such event, any court of competent jurisdiction may issue a decree of specific performance or issue a temporary and permanent injunction, without the necessity of the Employer posting bond or furnishing other security and without proving special damages or irreparable injury, enjoining and restricting the breach, or threatened breach, of any such covenant, including, but not limited to, any injunction restraining the Executive from disclosing, in whole or part, any Confidential Information. The Executive further agrees to pay all of the Employers costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys and accountants fees, incurred in successfully enforcing such covenants.

A written notice shall be deemed to have been given to the recipient party on the earlier of (a) the date it shall be delivered to the address required by this Agreement; (b) the date delivery shall have been refused at the address required by this Agreement; (c) with respect to notices sent by mail or overnight courier, the date as of which the Postal Service or overnight courier, as the case may be, shall have indicated such notice to be undeliverable at the address required by this Agreement; or (d) with respect to a facsimile, the date on which the facsimile is sent and receipt of which is confirmed.

Either party may from time to time designate a new address by notice given in accordance with this Paragraph 9.
10. Waiver of Breach. A waiver by either party of a breach of any provision of this Agreement by the other party shall not operate or be construed as a waiver or estoppel of any subsequent breach by such other party. No waiver shall be valid unless in writing and signed by an authorized officer of the Employer or by the Executive, as the case may be.
11. Assignment . The Executive acknowledges that the services to be rendered by her are unique and personal. Accordingly, the Executive may not assign any of her duties or obligations under this Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Executive, her estate and beneficiaries. The rights and obligations of the Employer under this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of the Employer.

enforceable, or shall be deemed excised from this Agreement, as the case may require, and this Agreement shall be construed and enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law, as if such provision had been originally incorporated herein as so modified, restricted, or reformulated or as if such provision had not been originally incorporated herein, as the case may be. The parties further agree to seek a lawful substitute for any provision found to be unlawful; provided, that, if the parties are unable to agree upon a lawful substitute, the parties desire and request that a court or other authority called upon to decide the enforceability of this Agreement modify those restrictions in this Agreement that, once modified, will result in an agreement that is enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by the law in existence at the time of the requested enforcement.
14. Headings . The headings in this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and are not to be considered a construction of the provisions hereof.
15. Execution of Agreement . This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be considered an original, but which when taken together, shall constitute one agreement.

Furthermore, the Executive agrees and consents to submit to personal jurisdiction in the state of Illinois in any state or federal court of competent subject matter jurisdiction situated in Lake or Cook County, Illinois. The Executive further agrees that the sole and exclusive venue for any suit arising out of, or seeking to enforce, the terms of this Agreement shall be in a state or federal court of competent subject matter jurisdiction situated in Lake or Cook County, Illinois. In addition, the Executive waives any right to challenge in another court any judgment entered by such Lake or Cook County court or to assert that any action instituted by the Employer in any such court is in the improper venue or should be transferred to a more convenient forum . Further, the Executive waives any right she may otherwise have to a trial by jury in any action to enforce the terms of this Agreement.

19. No Mitigation. The Executive shall have no obligation or duty to seek subsequent employment or engagement as an employee (including self-employment) or as a consultant or otherwise mitigate the Employers obligation under this Agreement. Payments and benefits due under Paragraph 7 of this Agreement shall not be reduced by any compensation earned by the Executive as an employee or consultant from any employment or consulting arrangement after the Executives termination of employment.

Exercise of Option.
Manner of Exercise. The vested Option Shares may be exercised, in whole or in part, by delivering written notice to the Company in accordance with of Section 7(k) hereof and in such form as the Company may require from time to time. Such notice of exercise shall:
specify the number of Option Shares to be purchased;
specify the aggregate Option Price for such Option Shares; and
be accompanied by payment in full of such aggregate Option Price.
Payment Upon Exercise. The Option Price upon exercise of any Option Shares shall be payable to the Company in full either:
in cash or its equivalent;
by tendering previously acquired Stock that has been held for at least six months (or such longer period to avoid a charge to earnings for financial reporting purposes) and having an aggregate Fair Market Value at the time of exercise equal to the total Option Price, or
a combination of Sections 3(b)(i) and (ii) hereof.
In addition, payment of the Option Price may be payable by one or more of the following methods either upon written consent from the Committee or if one or more of the following methods will not result in a charge to earnings for financial reporting purposes:
by withholding Stock that otherwise would be acquired on exercise having an aggregate Fair Market Value at the time of exercise equal to the total Option Price,
by tendering other Awards payable under the Plan, or
by cashless exercise through delivery of irrevocable instructions to a broker to promptly deliver to the Company the amount of proceeds from a sale of shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the purchase price.
Any combination of Sections 3(b)(i)-(vi) upon written consent of the Committee.
Compliance with Federal and State Law. The Company reserves the right to delay a Participants exercise of an Option if the Companys issuance of Stock upon such exercise would violate any applicable federal or state securities laws or any other applicable laws or
-3-
regulations. The Participant may not sell or otherwise dispose of the Option Shares in violation of any applicable law. The Company may postpone issuing and delivering any Option Shares for so long as the Company reasonably determines to be necessary to satisfy the following:
its completing or amending any securities registration or qualification of the Option Shares or it or the Participant satisfying any exemption from registration under any federal or state law, rule, or regulation;
its receiving proof it considers satisfactory that a person seeking to exercise the Option after the Participants death is entitled to do so;
the Participant complying with any requests for representations under the Plan;
the Participant complying with any federal, state, or local tax withholding obligations;
its deferring payment of any amount that it reasonably determines would not be deductible under Code Section 162(m) until the earlier of:
|
the earliest date on which the Company reasonably determines that the deductibility of the payment will not be limited; or |
|
the year following the Participants termination of employment; and |
its compliance with the restrictions of Code Section 409A to the extent applicable, including any final regulations issued pursuant thereto, including the Committees right to amend any provision of this Option Agreement, to the extent necessary to comply with Code Section 409A.
No Fractions of Stock. The Company shall not be required to issue any fractional shares of Stock.
Payment of Taxes.
General Rule. If the Company is obligated to withhold an amount on account of any tax imposed as a result of the exercise of an Option, the Participant shall be required to pay such amount to the Company, as provided under Section 17 of the Plan. The Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Participant is responsible for the tax consequences associated with the grant of the Option and its exercise.
Changes in Companys Capital Structure.
Adjustment in Authorized Stock. As may be determined to be appropriate and equitable by the Committee, in its complete and sole discretion, to prevent dilution or enlargement of rights, the Committee shall make or authorize to be made an adjustment in the number and class of Option Shares and/or the Option Price to prevent dilution or enlargement of rights, as a result of the following:
any adjustment, recapitalization, reorganization or other changes in the Companys capital structure or its business;
any merger or consolidation of the Company;
any issuance of bonds, debentures, preferred or prior preference stock ahead of or affecting the Companys Common Stock or the rights thereof;
the dissolution or liquidation of the Company;
any sale or transfer of all or any part of the Companys assets or business; or
any other corporate act or proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise.
-4-
Confidentiality, Non-Solicitation and Non-Compete. Participant agrees to, understands and acknowledges the following:
Confidential Information. Participant will be furnished, use or otherwise have access to certain Confidential Information of the Company. For purposes of this Option Agreement, Confidential Information means any and all financial, technical, commercial or other information concerning the business and affairs of the Company that is confidential and proprietary to the Company, including without limitation,
information relating to the Companys past and existing customers and vendors and development of prospective customers and vendors, including specific customer product requirements, pricing arrangements, payments terms, customer lists and other similar information;
inventions, designs, methods, discoveries, works of authorship, creations, improvements or ideas developed or otherwise produced, acquired or used by the Company;
the Companys proprietary programs, processes or software, consisting of but not limited to, computer programs in source or object code and all related documentation and training materials, including all upgrades, updates, improvements, derivatives and modifications thereof and including programs and documentation in incomplete stages of design or research and development;
the subject matter of the Companys patents, design patents, copyrights, trade secrets, trademarks, service marks, trade names, trade dress, manuals, operating instructions, training materials, and other industrial property, including such information in incomplete stages of design or research and development; and
other confidential and proprietary information or documents relating to the Companys products, business and marketing plans and techniques, sales and distribution networks and any other information or documents which the Company reasonably regards as being confidential.
The Company devotes significant financial, human and other resources to the development of its products, its customer base and the general goodwill associated with its business, and the Company diligently maintains the secrecy and confidentiality of its Confidential Information. Each and every component of the Confidential Information is sufficiently secret to derive economic value from its not being generally known to other persons. While employed by the Company and thereafter, Participant will hold in the strictest confidence and not use in any manner which is detrimental to the Company or disclose to any individual or entity any Confidential Information, except as may be required by the Company in connection with Participants employment.
All Company Materials are and will be the sole property of the Company. Participant agrees that during and after his or her employment by the Company, Participant will not remove any Company Materials from the business premises of the Company or deliver any Company Materials to any person or entity outside the Company, except as Participant is required to do so in connection with performing the duties of his or her employment. Participant further agrees that, immediately upon the termination of his or her employment for any reason, or during Participants employment if so requested by the Company, Participant will return all Company Materials and other physical property, and any reproduction thereof, excepting only Participants copy of this Agreement. For purposes of this Option Agreement, Company Materials means documents or other media or tangible items that contain or embody Confidential Information or any other information
-5-
concerning the business, operations or future/strategic plans of the Company, whether such documents have been prepared by Participant or by others.
Non-Solicitation and Non-Compete. For the period beginning on the date hereof and ending twelve (12) months following the termination of employment with the Company, Participant will not directly or indirectly:
employ, recruit or solicit for employment any person who is (or was within the six (6) months prior to Participants employment termination date) an employee of the Company;
accept employment or engage in a competing business which may require contact, solicitation, interference or diverting of any of the Companys customers, or that may result in the disclosure, divulging, or other use, of Confidential Information or Company Materials acquired during Participants employment with the Company; or
solicit or encourage any customer, vendor or potential customer or vendor of the Company with whom Participant had contact while employed by the Company to terminate or otherwise alter his, her or its relationship with the Company. Participant understands that any person or entity that Participant contacted during the twelve (12) months prior to the date of Participants termination of employment for the purpose of soliciting sales from such person or entity shall be regarded as a potential customer of the Company to whom the Company has a protectible proprietary interest.
Remedies for Violation.
Injunctive Action. Participant acknowledges that if he or she violates the terms of this Section 6, the injury that would be suffered by the Company as a result of a breach of the provisions of this Option Agreement (including any provision of Section 6 (a) or (b) hereof) would be irreparable and that an award of monetary damages to the Company for such a breach would be an inadequate remedy. Consequently, the Company will have the right, in addition to any other rights it may have, to obtain injunctive relief to restrain any breach or threatened breach or otherwise to specifically enforce any provision of this Option Agreement, and the Company will not be obligated to post bond or other security in seeking such relief. Without limiting the Companys rights under this Section 6(c) (or Sections 6(a) or (b) hereof) or any other remedies of the Company, if the Participant breaches any of the provisions of Sections 6(a) or (b) hereof, the Company will have the right to cease making any payments otherwise due to the Participant under this Option Agreement.
Forfeiture of the Option and Repayment. In addition to the rights available to the Company under Section 6(c)(i) hereof, if Participant violates the terms of this Section 6 at any time, Participant, without any further action by the Company or Participant, shall forfeit, as of the first day of any such violation, all right, title and interest to this Option, any Option Shares then owned by Participant and any net proceeds received by Participant pursuant to any sales or transfer of any Option Shares prior to, on or after such date, and the Company shall have the right to issue a stop transfer order and other appropriate instructions to its transfer agent with respect to this Option and the Option Shares, and the Company further shall be entitled to reimbursement from Participant of any fees and expenses (including attorneys fees) incurred by or on behalf of the Company in enforcing the
-6-
Companys rights under this Section 6. By accepting this Option grant, Participant hereby consents to a deduction from any amounts the Company owes to Participant from time to time (including amounts owed to Participant as wages or other compensation, fringe benefits, or vacation pay, as well as any other amounts owed to Participant by the Company), to the extent of any amounts that Participant owes the Company under this Section 6. In addition to any injunctive relief sought under Section 6(c)(i) hereof and whether or not the Company elects to make any set-off in whole or in part, if the Company does not recover by means of set-off the full amount Participant owes to the Company, calculated as set forth in this Section 6(c)(ii), Participant agrees to immediately pay the unpaid balance to the Company.
Enforceability of Restrictive Covenants. The scope and duration of the restrictive covenants contained in this Option Agreement are reasonable and necessary to protect a legitimate, protectible interest of the Company. However, if one or more provisions of this Option Agreement are held to be unenforceable under applicable law to any extent, such provision(s) shall, to that extent, be excluded from this Option Agreement and the balance of the Option Agreement shall be interpreted as if such provision(s) were so excluded to that extent and shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms.
Written Acknowledgement by Participant. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may require the Participant, as a condition to the exercise of this Option, to acknowledge in writing that he or she has not engaged, and is not in the process of engaging, in any of the activities described in this Section 6.
Miscellaneous Provisions.
No Service or Employment Rights. No provision of this Option Agreement or of the Option granted hereunder shall give the Participant any right to continue in the service or employ of the Company or any Subsidiary, create any inference as to the length of employment or service of the Participant, affect the right of the Company or any Subsidiary to terminate the employment or service of the Participant, with or without Cause, or give the Participant any right to participate in any employee welfare or benefit plan or other program (other than the Plan) of the Company or any Subsidiary.
Stockholder Rights. Until the Option shall have been duly exercised to purchase such Option Shares and such shares have been officially recorded as issued on the Companys official stockholder records, no person or entity shall be entitled to vote, receive dividends or be deemed for any purpose the holder of any Option Shares, and adjustments for dividends or otherwise shall be made only if the record date therefor is subsequent to the date such shares are recorded and after the date of exercise and without duplication of any adjustment.
Plan Document Governs. The Option is granted pursuant to the Plan, and the Option and this Option Agreement are in all respects governed by the Plan and subject to all of the terms and provisions thereof, whether such terms and provisions are incorporated in this Option Agreement by reference or are expressly cited. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Plan. Any inconsistency between the Option Agreement and the Plan shall be resolved in favor of the Plan. Participant hereby acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan.
Investment Representation and Agreement. The Committee may require the Participant to furnish to the Company, prior to the issuance of any shares of Common Stock upon the
-7-
exercise of all or any part of this Option, an agreement (in such form as the Committee may specify) in which the Participant represents that the shares of Common Stock acquired by him or her upon exercise are being acquired for investment and not with a view to the sale or distribution thereof.
Beneficiary Designation. The Participant may, from time to time, in accordance with procedures set forth by the Committee, name any beneficiary or beneficiaries (who may be named contingently or successively) to whom any benefit under this Option Agreement is to be paid in case of his or her death before he or she receives any or all of such benefit. Each such designation shall revoke all prior designations by the Participant, shall be in a form prescribed by the Company, and will be effective only when filed by the Participant in writing with the Committee during the Participants lifetime. In the absence of any such designation, benefits remaining unpaid at the Participants death shall be paid to the Participants estate or exercised by the Participants estate.
Administration. This Option Agreement and the rights of the Participant hereunder are subject to all the terms and conditions of the Plan, as the same may be amended from time to time, as well as to such rules and regulations as the Committee may adopt for administration of the Plan. It is expressly understood that the Committee is authorized to administer, construe, and make all determinations necessary or appropriate to the administration of the Plan and this Option Agreement, all of which shall be binding upon the Participant.
No Vested Right In Future Awards. Participant acknowledges and agrees (by executing this Option Agreement) that the granting of Options under this Option Agreement are made on a fully discretionary basis by the Company and that this Option Agreement does not lead to a vested right to further Option awards in the future.
Use Of Personal Data. By executing this Option Agreement, Participant acknowledges and agrees to the collection, use, processing and transfer of certain personal data, including his or her name, salary, nationality, job title, position, and details of all past Awards and current Awards outstanding under the Plan (Data), for the purpose of managing and administering the Plan. The Participant is not obliged to consent to such collection, use, processing and transfer of personal data, but a refusal to provide such consent may affect his or her ability to participate in the Plan. The Company, or its Subsidiaries, may transfer Data among themselves or to third parties as necessary for the purpose of implementation, administration and management of the Plan. These various recipients of Data may be located elsewhere throughout the world. The Participant authorizes these various recipients of Data to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing the Plan. The Participant may, at any time, review Data with respect to the Participant and require any necessary amendments to such Data. The Participant may withdraw his or her consent to use Data herein by notifying the Company in writing; however, the Participant understands that by withdrawing his or her consent to use Data, the Participant may affect his or her ability to participate in the Plan.
Severability. In the event that any provision of this Option Agreement shall be held illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts of this Option Agreement, and this Option Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision had not been included.
Waiver; Cumulative Rights. The failure or delay of either party to require performance by the other party of any provision hereof shall not affect its right to require performance of such provision unless and until such performance has been waived in writing. Each and every
-8-
right hereunder is cumulative and may be exercised in part or in whole from time to time.
Notices. Any notice which either party hereto may be required or permitted to give the other shall be in writing and may be delivered personally or by mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the Secretary of the Company, at its then corporate headquarters, and the Participant at the Participants address as shown on the Companys records, or to such other address as the Participant, by notice to the Company, may designate in writing from time to time.
Counterparts. This Option Agreement may be signed in two counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but both of which shall constitute but one and the same instrument.
Successors and Assigns. This Option Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon each successor and assign of the Company. All obligations imposed upon the Participant, and all rights granted to the Company hereunder, shall be binding upon the Participants heirs, legal representatives and successors.
Governing Law. This Option Agreement and the Option granted hereunder shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to provisions thereof regarding conflict of laws.
Entire Agreement. This Option Agreement, together with the Plan, constitute the entire obligation of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and shall supersede any prior expressions of intent or understanding with respect to this transaction.
Amendment. Any amendment to this Option Agreement shall be in writing and signed by the Company.
Headings. The headings contained in this Option Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Option Agreement.

If the average of the Total Shareholder Return measured over any forty-five consecutive trading-day period is between sixty percent (60%) and one hundred percent (100%), then the Participant shall vest in the Restricted Stock in the aggregate (which Vested Percentage shall include the 25% reflected in subparagraph (i), above), as follows (rounded to the nearest whole share):

Any Restricted Stock which is unvested at the expiration of the Period of Restriction as a result of the failure to attain the required Total Shareholder Return shall immediately be forfeited to the Company.
Total Shareholder Return shall be equal to (i) the fair market value of a share of the Companys Common Stock as reported on The NASDAQ Stock Market as of the close of business on any particular date minus $36.80 plus aggregate dividends paid on a share of the Companys Common Stock since September 4, 2007, divided by (ii) $36.80.
The Committee shall make or authorize to be made an adjustment to the foregoing formula for Total Shareholder Return to prevent dilution or enlargement of the Total Shareholder Return, as a result of the following: (1) any adjustment, recapitalization, reorganization or other changes in the Companys capital structure or its business; (2) any merger or consolidation of the Company (other than a Change in Control); (3) any issuance of bonds, debentures, preferred or prior preference stock ahead of or affecting the Companys common stock or the rights thereof; (4) the dissolution or liquidation of the Company; (5) any sale or transfer of all or any part of the Companys assets or business; or (6) any other corporate act or proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise.

Termination of Employment. Except as provided in Section 2(b)(ii), in the event the Participants employment with the Company and/or any Subsidiary is terminated for any reason, any unvested Restricted Stock as of the date of the Participants termination of employment shall immediately be forfeited to the Company.

Restriction and the Participants employment is terminated by the Company and/or any Subsidiary without Cause or is terminated by the Participant for Good Reason during the period beginning 120 days before and ending one (1) year after such Change in Control, any Restricted Stock which is unvested as of the date of the Change in Control shall be accelerated upon such a termination of employment and shall vest as follows:

When shares of Restricted Stock become vested, the Company shall redeliver to the Participant (or the Participants legal representatives, beneficiaries or heirs) the number of shares which have then vested. The Participant agrees that any sale of shares of Restricted Stock received upon vesting shall be made in compliance with the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 or an applicable exemption therefrom. The Committee may require the Participant to furnish to the Company, prior to the delivery of any vested shares of Restricted Stock, an agreement (in such form as the Committee may specify) in which the Participant represents that the shares of stock are being acquired for investment and not with a view to the sale or distribution thereof.
Rights as a Stockholder. During the period that shares of Restricted Stock remain unvested, the Participant shall have all of the rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to the Restricted Stock including, but not limited to, the right to receive dividends paid on the shares of Restricted Stock and the full right to vote such shares.
Section 83(b) Election. Unless prior written consent of the Committee is secured, the Participant is not permitted to make a Section 83(b) election with respect to the Restricted Stock granted under this Stock Agreement. If the Committee consents to such Section 83(b) election, the Participant must notify the Committee within ten (10) days after filing the Section 83(b) election with the Internal Revenue Service.
Compliance with Federal and State Law. The Company may postpone issuing and delivering any Restricted Stock for so long as the Company reasonably determines to be necessary to satisfy the following:
it completing or amending any securities registration or qualification of the Restricted Stock or it or the Participant satisfying any exemption from registration under any federal or state law, rule or regulation;
the Participant complying with any requests for representations under the Plan; and
the Participant complying with any federal, state or local tax withholding obligations.
Payment of Taxes. If the Company is obligated to withhold an amount on account of any tax imposed as a result of the issuance of the Restricted Stock, the Participant shall be required to pay such amount to the Company, as provided under Section 17 of the Plan. The Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Participant is responsible for the tax consequences associated with the grant of the Restricted Stock and its vesting.
Confidentiality, Non-Solicitation and Non-Compete. Participant agrees to, understands and acknowledges the following:
Confidential Information. Participant will be furnished, use or otherwise have access to certain Confidential Information of the Company. For purposes of this Stock Agreement, Confidential Information means any and all financial, technical, commercial or other information concerning the business and affairs of the Company that is confidential and proprietary to the Company, including without limitation,
information relating to the Companys past and existing customers and vendors and development of prospective customers and vendors, including, without limitation, specific customer product requirements, pricing arrangements, payment terms, customer lists and other similar information;
inventions, designs, methods, discoveries, works of authorship, creations, improvements or ideas developed or otherwise produced, acquired or used by the Company;
the Companys proprietary programs, processes or software, consisting of, but not limited to, computer programs in source or object code and all related documentation and training materials, including all upgrades, updates, improvements, derivatives and modifications thereof and including, without limitation, programs and documentation in incomplete stages of design or research and development;
the subject matter of the Companys patents, design patents, copyrights, trade secrets, trademarks, service marks, trade names, trade dress, manuals, operating instructions, training materials, and other industrial property, including, without limitation, such information in incomplete stages of design or research and development; and
other confidential and proprietary information or documents relating to the Companys products, business and marketing plans and techniques, sales and distribution networks and any other information or documents which the Company reasonably regards as being confidential.
The Company devotes significant financial, human and other resources to the development of its products, its customer base and the general goodwill associated with its business, and the Company diligently maintains the secrecy and confidentiality of its Confidential Information. Each and every component of the Confidential Information is sufficiently secret to derive economic value from its not being generally known to other persons. While employed by the Company and thereafter, Participant will hold in the strictest confidence and not use in any manner which is detrimental to the Company or disclose to any individual or entity any Confidential Information, except as may be required by the Company in connection with Participants employment.
All Company Materials are and will be the sole property of the Company. Participant agrees that during and after his or her employment by the Company, Participant will not remove any Company Materials from the business premises of the Company or deliver any Company Materials to any person or entity outside the Company, except as Participant is required to do so in connection with performing the duties of his or her employment. Participant further agrees that, immediately upon the termination of his or her employment for any reason, or during Participants employment if so requested by the Company, Participant will return all Company Materials and other physical property, and any reproduction thereof, excepting only Participants copy of this Agreement. For purposes of this Stock Agreement, Company Materials means documents or other media or tangible items that contain or embody Confidential Information or any other information concerning the business, operations or future/strategic plans of the Company, regardless of whether such documents have been prepared by Participant or by others.
Non-Solicitation and Non-Compete. For the period beginning on the date hereof and ending twenty-four (24) months following the termination of employment with the Company, Participant will not directly or indirectly:
employ, recruit or solicit for employment any person who is (or was within six (6) months prior to Participants employment termination date) an employee of the Company;
accept employment or engage in a competing business which may require contact, solicitation, interference or diverting of any of the Companys customers, or that may result in the disclosure, divulging, or other use, of Confidential Information or Company Materials acquired during Participants employment with the Company; or
solicit or encourage any customer, vendor or potential customer or vendor of the Company with whom Participant had contact while employed by the Company to terminate or otherwise alter his, her or its relationship with the Company. Participant understands that any person or entity that Participant contacted during the twelve (12) months prior to the date of Participants termination of employment with the Company for the purpose of soliciting sales from such person or entity shall be regarded as a potential customer of the Company to whom the Company has a protectible proprietary interest.
Remedies for Violation.
Injunctive Action. Participant acknowledges that if he or she violates the terms of this Section 5 the injury that would be suffered by the Company as a result of a breach of the provisions of this Stock Agreement (including any provision of Section 5(a) or (b) hereof) would be irreparable and that an award of monetary damages to the Company for such a breach would be an inadequate remedy. Consequently, the Company will have the right, in addition to any other rights it may have, to obtain injunctive relief to restrain any breach or threatened breach or otherwise to specifically enforce any provision of this Stock Agreement, and the Company will not be obligated to post bond or other security in seeking such relief. Without limiting the Companys rights under this Section 5(c) (or Sections 5(a) or (b) hereof) or any other remedies of the Company, if the Participant breaches any of the provisions of Sections 5(a) or (b) hereof, the Company will have the right to cease making any payments otherwise due to the Participant under this Stock Agreement.
Forfeiture of Restricted Stock and Repayment. In addition to the rights available to the Company under Section 5(c)(i) hereof, if Participant violates the terms of this Section 5 at any time, Participant, without any further action by the Company or Participant, shall forfeit, as of the first day of any such violation, all right, title and interest to unvested Restricted Stock, any Shares then owned by Participant due to vesting of Restricted Stock and any net proceeds received by Participant pursuant to any sales or transfer of any Restricted Stock (or Shares held as a result of the vesting of the Restricted Stock) prior to, on or after such date, and the Company shall have the right to issue a stop transfer order and other appropriate instructions to its transfer agent with respect to the Restricted Stock (and Shares held as a result of the vesting of the Restricted Stock), and the Company further shall be entitled to reimbursement from Participant of any fees and expenses (including attorneys fees) incurred by or on behalf of the Company in enforcing the Companys rights under this Section 5. By accepting this Restricted Stock grant, Participant hereby consents to a deduction from any amounts the Company owes to Participant from time to time (including amounts owed to Participant as wages or other compensation, fringe benefits or vacation pay, as well as any other amounts owed to Participant by the Company), to the extent of any amounts that Participant owes to the Company under this Section 5. In addition to any injunctive
relief sought under Section 5(c)(i) hereof and whether or not the Company elects to make any set-off in whole or in part, if the Company does not recover by means of set-off the full amount Participant owes to the Company, calculated as set forth in this Section 5(c)(ii), Participant agrees to immediately pay the unpaid balance to the Company.
Enforceability of Restrictive Covenants. The scope and duration of the restrictive covenants contained in this Stock Agreement are reasonable and necessary to protect a legitimate, protectible interest of the Company.
Written Acknowledgement by Participant. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may require the Participant, as a condition to lapsing any restriction on the Restricted Stock, to acknowledge in writing that he or she has not engaged, and is not in the process of engaging, in any of the activities described in this Section 5.
Miscellaneous Provisions.
No Service or Employment Rights. No provision of this Stock Agreement or of the Restricted Stock granted hereunder shall give the Participant any right to continue in the service or employ of the Company or any Subsidiary, create any inference as to the length of employment or service of the Participant, affect the right of the Company or any Subsidiary to terminate the employment or service of the Participant, with or without Cause, or give the Participant any right to participate in any employee welfare or benefit plan or other program (other than the Plan) of the Company or any Subsidiary.
Plan Document Governs. The Restricted Stock is granted pursuant to the Plan, and the Restricted Stock and this Stock Agreement are in all respects governed by the Plan and subject to all of the terms and provisions thereof, regardless of whether such terms and provisions are incorporated in this Stock Agreement by reference or are expressly cited. Any inconsistency between the Stock Agreement and the Plan shall be resolved in favor of the Plan. Participant hereby acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan.
Beneficiary Designation. The Participant may, from time to time, in accordance with procedures set forth by the Committee, name any beneficiary or beneficiaries (who may be named contingently or successively) to whom any benefit under this Stock Agreement is to be paid in case of his or her death before he or she receives any or all of such benefit. Each such designation shall revoke all prior designations by the Participant, shall be in a form prescribed by the Company, and will be effective only when filed by the Participant in writing with the Committee during the Participants lifetime. In the absence of any such designation, benefits remaining unpaid at the Participants death shall be paid to the Participants estate or exercised by the Participants estate.
Administration. This Stock Agreement and the rights of the Participant hereunder are subject to all the terms and conditions of the Plan, as the same may be amended from time to time, as well as to such rules and regulations as the Committee may adopt for administration of the Plan.

No Vested Right In Future Awards.

The Participant authorizes these various recipients of Data to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing the Plan.

Severability. If one or more provisions of this Stock Agreement (including, without limitations, the provisions of Section 5 hereof) are held to be unenforceable under applicable law to any extent, such provision(s) shall, to that extent, be excluded from this Stock Agreement and the balance of the Stock Agreement shall be interpreted as if such provision(s) were so excluded to that extent and shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms.

The Plan is established pursuant to the 2006 Zebra Technologies Corporation Incentive Compensation Plan and is subject to the provisions set forth therein.

SECTION 3 ELIGIBILITY AND PARTICIPATION
3.1 Eligibility: Eligibility for participation in the Plan will be limited to those Associates who, by the nature and scope of their position, regularly and directly make or influence policy or operating decisions which impact the growth, profitability, and earnings results of the Company. For purposes of this Plan, such Associates are limited to the Chief Executive Officer, Vice Presidents, Directors, and Managers, by job title, provided they are assigned a salary grade of E-12 or above; provided, however, that non-US Associates and Associates within the Enterprise Solutions Group (ESG) who are not assigned salary grades will be eligible for participation in the Plan based upon job title only. Department supervisors also may be considered eligible for participation provided they are in an exempt salaried position and regularly supervise no less than four direct reports. Any Associate participating in a sales incentive or commission arrangement or any other bonus program shall be excluded from participation in this Plan unless otherwise determined by the Committee.
3.2 Participation: Participation in the Plan shall be determined annually by the Vice President, Human Resources; provided, however, that participation by Section 16 Officers of the Company shall be determined by the Committee. Associates approved for participation shall be notified of their selection.
3.3 Partial Plan Year Participation: The Vice President, Human Resources may allow an Associate who becomes eligible during the Plan Year, either as a new hire or as a result of an internal promotion, to participate in the Plan provided, however, that participation by Section 16 Officers of the Company shall be determined by the Committee. In such case, only Base Earnings received, while an eligible Participant, in the Plan Year shall be used in calculating the Bonus Award. Newly hired Associates or Associates who first become eligible as a result of an internal promotion must have a hire date or a promotion date prior to November 1, 2008.
3.4 Changes In Participation Level and/or Organizational Unit: A Participant who changes positions and/or is assigned to a different organizational unit (as defined by their reporting relationship), during the Plan Year, shall have their Bonus Award calculated on a prorated basis using the time eligible in each situation to account for changes in the calculation components. However, if such a change occurs on or after November 1, 2008, the Participants Bonus Award will be calculated for the full Plan Year using the measures of the immediately preceding position.
3.5 Leave of Absence: A Participant on an approved leave of absence, as defined by the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993, shall be considered eligible for a full Bonus Award payable at the same time as other Participants. A Participant on any other form of approved leave of absence shall have their Bonus Award calculated on a partial year basis, payable at the same time as other Participants or upon their return to active duty, whichever is later.
3.6 No Right to Participate: Participation by an Associate in a bonus plan in any period prior to the Plan Year does not provide a right or entitlement to be selected for participation in the Plan Year or any future period.
SECTION 4 BONUS AWARD DETERMINATION
4.1 Eligibility for Bonus Award: Except as provided in Section 6, in order to be eligible to receive a Bonus Award for any Plan Year, a Participant must be employed continuously as a Participant through the entire Plan Year (or partial Plan Year, in accordance with Section 3.3) and at the time that the Bonus Award is paid.
4.2 Financial Performance Goals: The Financial Performance Goals for the Company and its
business units are set forth in Exhibit A. The Financial Performance Goals shall represent the target level of performance required to earn one hundred percent (100%) of the Target Bonus Percentage. The Performance Payout Percentages that will be awarded for achievement of the respective Financial Performance Goals at various performance levels are set forth in Exhibit A. In no case shall the Performance Payout Percentage exceed 200%, nor shall payment of a Bonus Award be made to a Participant for achievement of a Financial Performance Goal that falls below the applicable minimum performance level set forth in Exhibit A for such Financial Performance Goal.
4.3 Individual Performance Goals: All Participants, except those assigned a job title of Vice President and above, shall be required to establish Individual Performance Goals for the Plan Year. Individual Performance Goals shall be clear, specific, measurable, aligned with overall Company goals and approved by their functional Vice President. The performance level, for each individual performance goal, shall be determined by dividing actual results by the applicable Individual Performance Goal. The Performance Payout Percentage for various achievement levels shall be determined in accordance with the following scale:
Maximum performance level = Maximum Performance Payout Percentage (200%)
Target performance level = Target Performance Payout Percentage (100%)
Minimum performance level = Minimum Performance Payout Percentage (0%)
Performance Payout Percentages for achievement between these levels shall be calculated on a linear basis. In no case shall the Performance Payout Percentage exceed 200%, nor shall payment be made for achievement that falls below the minimum performance level.
4.4 Bonus Components: All Participants, except those assigned a job title of Vice President and above, shall have their individual Bonus Award calculated on the basis of two independent bonus components: a financial performance component and an individual performance component. These two bonus components will be calculated separately and added together to determine the Participants Bonus Award. Participants assigned a job title of Vice President or higher shall have their individual Bonus Award calculated on the basis of the financial performance component only, with no individual performance component. The assignment and weighting of bonus components shall be communicated to Participants at the same time as their eligibility notification.
4.5 Bonus Award Calculation: At the end of each Plan Year, the Company shall evaluate actual results against Financial Performance Goals and, where applicable, against Individual Performance Goals, and compute Bonus Awards for each Participant. These computations shall be made using the following formula:
BONUS AWARD = (A x B x C x D) + (A x B x E x F)
Where:
A = Base Earnings
B = Target Bonus Percentage
C = Financial Performance Goal Performance Payout Percentage
D = Financial Performance Goal weighting percentage
E = Individual Performance Goal Performance Payout Percentage (where applicable)
F = Individual Performance Goal weighting percentage (where applicable)
4.6 Illustrative Example: The following example is provided for illustrative purposes only. If a Participants 2008 Base Earnings were equal to $80,000, and the Participants Target Bonus Percentage was equal to 10%, and the applicable Financial Performance Goal Performance Payout Percentage were equal to 95% with a 60% weighting percentage, and the Participants Individual Performance Goal Performance Payout Percentage were equal to 110% with a 40% weighting percentage; then the amount of Bonus Award earned would be equal to:
($80,000 X .10 X .95 X .60) + ($80,000 X .10 X 1.10 X .40) = $8,080
4.7 Multiple Financial Performance Goals: In cases where multiple Financial Performance Goals are
used, each Financial Performance Goal achievement percentage will be calculated separately and adjusted by applying the assigned weighting to each Financial Performance Goal used. The results of these independent calculations will then be added together to determine a single consolidated Financial Performance Goal achievement percentage.
4.8 Minimum Performance Standard: Participants whose personal performance is rated as Substantially Below Expectations as part of the Zebra Technologies Corporation Annual Performance Management Review process shall not be eligible to receive an award under this Plan, including any bonus resulting from the achievement of Financial Performance Goals and / or Individual Performance Goals.
SECTION 5 PAYMENT OF BONUS AWARDS
5.1 Form and Timing of Payment: Payment of Bonus Awards shall be made in cash, subject to applicable payroll tax and benefit plan withholdings, as soon as administratively feasible after the end of the Plan Year following the final determination of the fiscal years financial results, but in any event, such payment shall be made during the calendar year following the end of the Plan Year.
SECTION 6 TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT
6.1 Termination of Employment Due to Voluntary Resignation: In the event a Participants employment is terminated due to voluntary resignation, excluding retirement as determined by the Vice President, Human Resources, prior to the payment of his or her Bonus Award, the Bonus Award shall not be earned and the Participant shall not be entitled to payment.
6.2 Termination of Employment for Cause: In the event a Participants employment is terminated for Cause prior to payment of his or her Bonus Award, the Bonus Award shall not be earned and the Participant shall not be entitled to payment.
6.3 Termination of Employment Due to Death, Disability or Retirement: In the event a Participants employment is terminated by reason of death, Disability or retirement during the Plan Year or prior to payment of his or her Bonus Award, the Bonus Award shall be considered earned, calculated on a prorated basis, and paid at the same time as other Participants.
6.4 Termination of Employment for Reasons Other Than Voluntary Resignation, Cause, Death, Disability or Retirement: In the event a Section 16 Officers employment is terminated for reasons other than voluntary resignation, Cause, death, Disability or retirement prior to payment of his or her Bonus Award, a prorated Bonus Award may be paid in the sole discretion of the Committee. In the event any other Participants employment is terminated for reasons other than voluntary resignation, Cause, death, Disability, or retirement prior to payment of his or her Bonus Award, a prorated Bonus Award may be paid in the sole discretion of the Vice President, Human Resources.
SECTION 7 RIGHTS OF PARTICIPANTS
7.1 Employment: Nothing in this Plan shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company to terminate or change a Participants employment at any time, nor confer upon any Participant any right to continue in the employ of the Company. Nothing herein contained shall limit or affect in any manner or degree the normal and usual powers of management, exercised by the officers and the Board of Directors of the Company to change the duties or the character of employment of any Associate or to remove the individual from the employment of the Company at any time, all of which rights and powers are expressly reserved by the Company.
SECTION 8 ADMINISTRATION
8.1 Administration: This Plan shall be administered by the Vice President, Human Resources in accordance with the provisions contained herein; subject to the direction and approval of the Committee with respect to matters relating to any Section 16 Officers of the Company.

This MANUFACTURING SERVICES AGREEMENT (this Agreement ) is made this 30th day of May, 2007 ( Effective Date ) by and between JABIL CIRCUIT, INC. , a Delaware corporation, having a principal place of business at 10560 Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Street, North St. Petersburg, Florida 33716, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates ( Manufacturer ), and ZEBRA TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION , having a principal place of business at 333 Corporate Woods Parkway, Vernon Hills, Illinois 60061 ( Zebra ). Zebra and Manufacturer are, collectively, referred to herein as the parties , or individually as a party .
A. WHEREAS, Zebra is in the business of designing, developing, manufacturing, distributing, marketing and selling printers, including thermal bar code label and receipt printers, card printers, photo quality thermal dye transfer printers, RFID smart label printers/encoders, label design and integration software, supplies, accessories and certain related products;
B. WHEREAS, Manufacturer is in the business of providing comprehensive design, development, manufacturing, testing, configuring, assembling, packaging, shipping and product management services of electronics components, assemblies and systems;
C. WHEREAS, Zebra desires to purchase certain products from Manufacturer, including PCBAs and Box Builds, and Manufacturer desires to manufacture and sell such products to Zebra, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement; and
D. WHEREAS, Zebra may, from time to time, desire Manufacturer to provide engineering, design or other services related to products under this Agreement, which services will be addressed as set forth in Section 2.1 .
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of foregoing and the other promises and mutual covenants set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Manufacturer and Zebra hereby agree and covenant as follows.
Article I.
General Terms And Conditions
1.1 | Definitions . Terms used herein with initial capital letters shall have the respective meanings set forth in Article X. |
1.2 | Appointment of Manufacturer . Zebra hereby appoints Manufacturer, and Manufacturer hereby accepts, the non-exclusive appointment to manufacture the Products for purchase by Zebra, at such times and from time to time as Zebra, in its sole discretion, may request by issuance of a binding forecast per Section 4.1 . |
1.3 | Other Zebra Parties . If Zebra provides Manufacturer with a parental guarantee, Zebras Affiliates shall have the right to purchase Products in accordance with the other terms of |
*** | Confidential treatment requested pursuant to a request for confidential treatment filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Omitted portions have been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. |
-8-
this Agreement. Any and all pricing that is offered to Zebra shall also be made available to Zebras Affiliates. |
1.4 | Exclusivity . Manufacturer shall not manufacture, package, market or sell any finished Product, or any WIP, component, subassembly, assembly or print engine unique to any finished Product, to or for any Person, anywhere in the world, other than to Zebra or Zebras Affiliates. |
1.5 | Non-competition . Manufacturer acknowledges that Zebra possesses valuable Confidential Information, Technology and Intellectual Property Rights related to the Products, that Zebra derives significant competitive advantage from the foregoing, that Manufacturer will be exposed to Zebras Confidential Information and Technology in connection with its obligations under this Agreement and that money damages are insufficient to protect Zebras interest in its Confidential Information, Technology and Intellectual Property Rights. Manufacturer further acknowledges that the scope of Zebras business is independent of location such that is not practical to limit the restrictions contained in this Section 1.5 to specific countries. Therefore, in order to protect Zebras rights in its Confidential Information, Technology and Intellectual Property Rights, and the value of Zebras business, to the extent permitted by applicable Laws, [*** Redacted] Manufacturer acknowledges that the restrictions contained in this Section 1.5 are reasonable in all respects, necessary to protect Zebras Confidential Information, Technology and Intellectual Property Rights, constitute a material inducement of Zebra to enter into this Agreement and that, without such protection, Zebras competitive advantage would be materially adversely affected. If, at the time of enforcement of these provisions, a court or arbitrators award permitted by Section 9.5a holds that the restrictions stated in this Section 1.5 are unreasonable under circumstances then existing, the parties agree that the maximum period, scope or geographical area reasonable under such circumstances shall be substituted for the stated period, scope or area. |
1.6 | Most Favored Nation . Manufacturer shall not, anywhere in the world, manufacture, package, market or sell thermal barcode printers or thermal card printers, at lower prices, or on better terms, than those offered to Zebra. If such better terms or pricing are provided to any Person, then Manufacturer shall promptly offer the same pricing or terms to Zebra. At its sole option, Zebra may elect to substitute such pricing or terms for the corresponding pricing or terms herein. |
1.7 | Competitiveness . Manufacturer understands that Zebras purchase of Products under this Agreement is dependent upon the Product pricing remaining competitive with that of other manufacturers and suppliers for thermal barcode printers or thermal card printers. Manufacturer shall be responsible for surveying the industry and benchmarking contract terms (including pricing, inventory levels, flexibility and lead time for Materials) and shall share all such information (including Manufacturers internal supply chain management report) in detail with Zebra during the Quarterly Business Review. |
*** | Confidential treatment requested pursuant to a request for confidential treatment filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Omitted portions have been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. |

Requirements. Upon Zebras request, Manufacturer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collect documentation from suppliers on the Approved Vendor List as of the Effective Date, certifying compliance with Materials Declaration Requirements with respect to Materials, the form of which certification has been provided, or approved, by Zebra ( Compliance Certification ). For suppliers added to the Approved Vendor List after the Effective Date, Manufacturer shall obtain such Compliance Certification as part of the supplier qualification process pursuant to Section 3.8a . Upon Zebras request, Manufacturer shall promptly provide copies of all requested Compliance Certifications to Zebra. In the event that any supplier does not provide Compliance Certification, Manufacturer shall promptly notify Zebra and cooperate with Zebra to remove such supplier from the Approved Vendor List or take such other action that the parties mutually agree upon in writing. In addition, Manufacturer shall fully cooperate and render all necessary assistance to Zebra in its efforts to recover on any claims against any suppliers related to Materials Declaration Requirements. In the event that a supplier fails to provide a Compliance Certification, Manufacturer has notified Zebra of such failure and Zebra has notified Manufacturer that Zebra still chooses to accept Materials from such supplier, then Manufacturer shall bear no responsibility or liability for the lack of such Compliance Certification. Zebra understands and agrees that:
(i) | Zebra is responsible for notifying Manufacturer of the specific Materials Declaration Requirements and any exemptions thereto that Zebra determines to be applicable to the Product and, as between Zebra and Manufacturer, shall be solely liable for the adequacy and sufficiency of such determination of Materials Declaration Requirements; |
(ii) | Any information or certification regarding Materials Declaration Requirements of a Product as well as Materials used in the Product shall come from the relevant supplier (which Manufacturer shall promptly pass on to Zebra). Manufacturer does not test, certify or otherwise warrant Materials compliance, on a homogenous material level or any other level, with Materials Declaration Requirements; and |
(iii) | As between Zebra and Manufacturer, Zebra is ultimately and solely responsible for compliance with, Materials Declarations Requirements, including ensuring that any Materials used in the Product, as well as the Product itself, are compliant with applicable Materials Declaration Requirements, other than with respect to (A) the remedies provided for under Section 7.2b and (B) Manufacturers failure to perform its obligations under this Section 3.8d . |
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if Zebra determines that any Materials received by Manufacturer for use in Products (whether directly from the supplier or in a rejected or returned Product) do not comply with Materials Declarations Requirements, then Zebra shall be entitled to the remedies provided in Section 7.2b .

(i) | The party requesting the COR shall submit the COR to the other party in writing. |
(ii) | Zebra shall include with any COR submitted to Manufacturer sufficient documentation for the changes to enable Manufacturer to prepare a COR impact analysis as described in subsection (iv) below. Upon receipt of a COR and such documentation from Zebra, Manufacturer shall in good faith promptly (but in no event later than five (5) Business Days) perform a COR impact analysis and promptly forward it to Zebra. |
(iii) | Manufacturer shall include a COR impact analysis as described in subsection (iv) below with any COR submitted to Zebra. |
(iv) | Each COR impact analysis shall include (i) the feasibility of the changes, (ii) any update required to the Specifications to implement the COR, (iii) the actual cost of any new Unique Tooling required to implement the COR, which Unique Tooling shall be owned and maintained in accordance with Section 3.4, (iv) the effect of such changes, if any, on Manufacturers performance of the Services, including any anticipated changes to the delivery dates for affected Products, (v) status of affected Products, (vi) the estimated effect of such changes, if any, on the fees and NRE Costs for affected Services and/or Products, (vii) cost effect, if any, on WIP and (viii) any other information reasonably requested by Zebra. |
*** | Confidential treatment requested pursuant to a request for confidential treatment filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Omitted portions have been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. |
-22-
(v) | No COR shall be implemented until authorized representatives of each party have agreed in writing to such changes or modifications of the Products by executing a COA substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit H ; provided that, Manufacturer shall not unreasonably refuse to implement such changes if Zebra has agreed to pay the NRE Costs and changes in Product pricing set forth in Manufacturers COR impact analysis. Each COA signed by both parties shall be deemed an amendment to this Agreement including, where applicable, the Specifications. |
(vi) | As requested by Zebra in writing, Manufacturer shall rework, at Zebras cost, all WIP and Products that are required by Zebra to be modified to the latest COA revision; provided that the corresponding COR was not initiated to correct a defect in Manufacturers manufacturing process and not required by the Specifications. |
(vii) | Upon execution by both parties of a COA, Zebra shall issue an RCN to reflect any rework charge and any changes to delivery dates, and shall issue such update to the Specifications as necessary to implement changes required by the respective COA. In the event that such change results from a problem as described in Section 3.3 , then Manufacturer must provide the impact analysis required by this Section 3.12 to Zebra as soon as possible, but not later than two (2) Business Days after such problem arises. |
(viii) | Manufacturer shall invoice Zebra for all costs of Unique Tooling and any rework costs for WIP or finished Products that are approved by Zebra and required to implement a COA. |
(ix) | For the avoidance of doubt, any change in manufacturing location (e.g., facility or production line within a facility) shall be deemed an engineering change that requires approval of a COR prior to implementation. |
3.13 | Subcontractors . Manufacturer shall not subcontract any of its obligations under this Agreement to any Affiliate or third party, unless it obtains Zebras prior consent, which may be withheld in Zebras sole discretion. In the event that Manufacturer does subcontract any of its obligations under this Agreement, then the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall apply to all such subcontractors, and Manufacturer shall continue to be liable for performance of its obligations under this Agreement, as well as for the performance of its subcontractors. For purposes of clarification, it shall not be considered subcontracting for Manufacturer to purchase Materials from the vendors on the Approved Vendor List. |

Nonqualified
Deferred Compensation Plan
Basic Plan Document
By execution of the Adoption Agreement associated with this Basic Plan Document, the Employer establishes this Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan (Plan) for the benefit of certain Employees and Contractors the Employer designates in its Adoption Agreement. The primary purpose of the Plan is to provide additional compensation to Participants upon termination of employment or service with the Employer. The Employer will pay benefits under the Plan only in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan.
Preamble
ERISA/Code Plan Type. The Employer in its Adoption Agreement will specify whether it establishes the Plan as a nonqualified deferred compensation plan or as an ineligible Code §457(f) plan. A nonqualified deferred compensation plan is an unfunded plan that may be: (i) an excess benefit plan under ERISA §3(36); (ii) a plan maintained primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation for a select group of management or highly compensated employees (top-hat plan) under ERISA §§201(2), 301(a)(3) and 401(a)(1); (iii) a plan only for Contractors and exempt from Title I of ERISA; or (iv) a church plan under Code §414(e) and ERISA §3(33) and maintained by a church or church-controlled organization under Code §3121(w)(3). A top-hat plan includes a supplemental executive retirement plan (SERP). A tax-exempt Code §457(f) plan may include a church plan under Code §414(e) and ERISA §3(33) but which is not sponsored by a church or church-controlled organization under Code §3121(w)(3).
409A Plan Type. The Employer in its Adoption Agreement will specify whether it establishes the Plan as an Account Balance Plan or as a Separation Pay Plan.
Possible Nonuniformity. The Employer in its Adoption Agreement will specify such Plan terms as will apply to all Participants uniformly or as may apply to a given Participant. Except where the Plan or Applicable Guidance require uniformity in order to comply with Code §409A, the Employer need not provide the same Plan benefits or apply the same Plan terms and conditions to all Participants, even as to Participants who are of similar pay, title and other status with the Employer. The elections the Employer makes in its Adoption Agreement apply uniformly to all Participants, except to the extent the Employer adopts inconsistent provisions with respect to one or more Participants in a separate attachment designated as Exhibit A and attached to the Adoption Agreement. The Employer may create a separate Exhibit A for one or more Participants, specifying such terms and conditions as are applicable to a given Participant. The Employer, in Exhibit A, may modify any Plan provision or any Adoption Agreement election as to one or more Participants.

Participants in Separate Plans . The plan for a Participant is treated as a separate plan from the plan for any other Participant, even though such plans may be incorporated into a single written plan in this Plan and covering all Participants.
Plan Types . The following plans under clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) are not like-type plans and are treated as separate from each other: (i) all Elective Deferral Account Balance Plans (including for aggregation purposes only, Separation Pay Plans based on Voluntary Separation from Service); (ii) all Employer Contribution Account Balance Plans (including for aggregation purposes only, Separation Pay Plans based on Voluntary Separation from Service); and (iii) all Separation Pay Plans based on Involuntary Separation from Service or under a Window Program.
Dual Status . If a Participant in two like-type plans participates in one plan as an Employee and in the other as a Contractor, the plans are not Aggregated Plans. If an Employee also serves on the Employers board of directors (or in a similar capacity with regard to a non-corporate entity) and participates in like-type plans but participates in one plan as an Employee and in the other as a director (or similar capacity with regard to a non-corporate entity) [a director plan], the plans are not Aggregated Plans provided that the director plan is substantially similar to a plan the maintains for non-employee directors. If the director plan is not substantially similar, for purposes of aggregation, the director plan is treated as a plan for Employees. Director plans and plans for Contractors are subject to aggregation under this Section 1.05.
Applicable Guidance means as the context requires Code §§83, 409A and 457, Treas. Reg. § 1.83, Treas. Reg. §§1.409A-1 through -6, Treas. Reg. § 1.457-11, or other written Treasury or IRS guidance regarding or affecting Code §§83, 409A or 457(f), including, as applicable, any Code §409A guidance in effect prior to January 1, 2008.
Base Salary means a Participants Compensation consisting only of regular salary and excluding any other Compensation.
Basic Plan Document means this Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan document.
Beneficiary means the person or persons entitled to receive Plan benefits in the event of a Participants death.
Bonus means a Participants Compensation consisting only of bonus and excluding any other Compensation. A Bonus also may be Performance-Based Compensation under Section 1.37.
Change in Control means, as to an Employer which is a corporation, a change: (i) in the ownership of the Employer (acquisition by one or more persons acting as a group of more than 50% of the total voting power or fair market value of the Employer); (ii) in the effective control of the Employer (acquisition or acquisition during a 12-month period ending on the date of the latest acquisition, by one or more persons acting as a group of 30% or more of the total voting power of the Employer or replacement of a majority of the members of the board of directors of the Employer [described below, but including only the entity for which no other corporation is a majority shareholder] during any 12-month period by directors not endorsed by a majority of the board before the appointment or election); or (iii) in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Employer (acquisition or acquisition during a 12-month period ending on the date of the latest acquisition, by one or more persons [other than related persons described in Treas. Reg. §1.409A-3(i)(5)(vii)(B)] acting as a group of assets with a total gross fair market value of 40% or more of the total gross fair market value of all assets of the Employer immediately

before such acquisition or acquisitions), each within the meaning of Treas. Reg. §I .409A-3(i)(5) or in Applicable Guidance. For this purpose, the Employer includes the Employer, the corporation which is liable for the payment of the Deferred Compensation, a majority shareholder (more than 50% of total fair market value and voting power) of the foregoing or a corporation in a chain of corporations in which each is a majority owner of another corporation in the chain, ending in the Employer or in the corporation that is liable for payment of the Deferred Compensation, all in accordance with Treas. Reg. §1.409A-3(i)(5)(ii). An event constituting a Change in Control must be objectively determinable and any certification thereof by the Employer or its agents may not subject to the discretion of such person. For purposes of applying this Section 1.11, stock ownership is determined in accordance with Code §318(a) as modified under Treas. Reg. §1.409A-3(i)(5)(iii). The Employer in its Adoption Agreement will elect whether a Change in Control includes any or all the events described in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) and also may elect to increase the percentage change required under any such event to constitute a Change in Control. Pending the issuance of Applicable Guidance as to the application of the Change in Control provisions to partnerships (or other non-corporate entities), if the Employer elects in its Adoption Agreement to permit Change in Control as a payment event, the Employer will apply clauses (i) and (iii) and clause (ii) as it relates to a change in the composition of the board of directors by analogy in accordance with Treas. Reg. §1.409A, Preamble, II.G.
Change in the Employers Financial Health means an adverse change in the Employers financial condition as described in Applicable Guidance.
Code means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
Commissions means Compensation or portions of Compensation consisting of Sales Commissions or of Investment Commissions. See Section 2.02(B)(5).
Sales Commissions .

Reg. §§1.409A-1(f)(2)(ii)) and (iv)); (ii) the Compensation the Employer pays to the Participant consists either of a portion of the purchase price for the product or service or of an amount substantially all of which is calculated by reference to volume of sales; and (iii) payment is either contingent upon the Employer receiving payment from an unrelated customer (as described in clause (i) above) for the product or services or, if consistently applied as to all similarly situated service providers, is contingent upon the closing of a sales transaction and such other requirements as the Employer may specify before the closing of the sales transaction.
Investment Commissions . Investment Commissions means Compensation or portions of Compensation a Participant earns if: (i) a substantial portion of the Participants services to the Employer to which the Compensation relates consists of sales of financial products or other direct customer services to a customer that is not related or treated as related to the Employer or to the Participant (under Treas. Reg. §§1.409A-1(f)(2)(ii)) and (iv)) as to customer assets or customer asset accounts; (ii) the customer retains the right to terminate the relationship and to move or liquidate the assets or asset accounts without undue delay (but subject to a reasonable notice period); (iii) the Compensation is based on a portion of the value of the overall assets or asset account balance, substantially all of the Compensation is calculated by reference to the increase in value of the overall assets of account balance, or both; and (iv) the value of the overall assets or account balance and Investment Commissions are determined at least annually.
Related Customer Commissions . This Section 1.14 also applies to Sales Commissions and to Investment Commissions involving a related customer provided: (i) the Employer as to unrelated customers makes substantial sales or provides substantial services giving rise to Commissions; and (ii) the sales, service and Commission arrangements with the related customer are bona fide, arise from the Employers ordinary course of business and are substantially the same, in terms and in practice, as those terms and practices that apply to unrelated customers to which substantial sales are made or substantial services are rendered.

Compensation
Employees . Compensation means as to an Employee, gross W-2 compensation. W-2 Compensation means wages for federal income tax withholding purposes, as defined under Code §3401(a), plus all other payments to an Employee in the course of the Employers trade or business, for which the Employer must furnish the Employee a written statement under Code §§6041, 6051 and 6052, disregarding any rules limiting the remuneration included as wages under this definition based on the nature or location of the employment or service performed. Gross W-2 compensation means W-2 compensation plus all amounts excludible from a Participants gross income under Code §§125,132(0(4), 402(e)(3), 402(h)(2), 403(b), and 408(p), contributed by the Employer, at the Participants election, to a cafeteria plan, a qualified transportation fringe benefit plan, a 401(k) arrangement, a SEP, a tax sheltered annuity, or a SIMPLE plan.
Contractors . Compensation as to a Contractor means all payments by the Employer to the Contractor for services during a Taxable Year.
Modifications . The Employer in its Adoption Agreement will elect whether to modify the definition of Compensation. The Employer may modify the definition of Compensation or may specify a different definition of Compensation either as to Employees, as to Contractors or both.
Contractor means a person or entity providing services to the Employer (not as an Employee) as described in Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(0(1) and which for any Taxable Year of the Contractor that the Contractor is on the cash receipts and disbursements method of accounting for Federal income tax purposes. A person serving on a board of directors is a Contractor as to Compensation for such service without regard to whether the person is an Employee for other purposes. A Contractor is not subject to this Plan or to Code §409A if in the Taxable Year in which the Legally Binding Right to Compensation arises: (i) the Contractor is actively engaged in the trade or business of performing services other than as an Employee or as a director (or similar position as to a non-corporate Employer); (ii) the Contractor provides significant services to the Employer and to at least 2 other unrelated service recipients, where the Contractor, the Employer and the other service recipient(s) are all unrelated to each other within the meaning of Treas. Reg. §§1.409A-1(f)(2)(i)(B) and (C) as applicable; and (iii) the services are not management services within the meaning of Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(0(2)(iv). For purposes of clause (ii) significant services means as described in Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(0(2)(iii). This Plan and Code §409A also do not apply to certain other related Contractor services as described in Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(0(2)(v).
Disability except as the Plan otherwise provides means a condition of a Participant who by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months: (i) is unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity; or (ii) is receiving income replacement benefits for a period of not less than 3 months under an accident and health plan covering Employees. The Employer in its Adoption Agreement will elect whether Disability includes all impairments constituting Disability under this Section 1.17, or only certain specified Disabilities which satisfy the foregoing definition. The Employer will determine whether a Participant has incurred a Disability based on its own good faith determination and may require a Participant to submit to reasonable physical and mental examinations for this purpose. A Participant will be deemed to have incurred a Disability if: (i) the Social Security Administration or Railroad Retirement Board determines that the Participant is totally disabled; or (ii) the applicable insurance company providing disability insurance to the Participant under an Employer sponsored disability program determines that a Participant is disabled under the insurance contract definition of disability, provided such definition complies with the definition in this Section 1.17.
Deferred Compensation means the Participants Account Balance attributable to Elective Deferrals and Employer Contributions and includes Earnings on such amounts except where the Plan otherwise provides. Compensation Deferred is Compensation that the Participant or the Employer has deferred under this Plan. Compensation is Deferred Compensation if: (i) under the terms of the Plan and the relevant facts and circumstances, the Participant has a Legally Binding Right to Compensation during a Taxable Year that the Participant has not actually or constructively received and included in gross income; and (ii) pursuant to the Plan

Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Prototype Plan
terms, the Compensation is or may be payable to or on behalf of the Participant in a later Taxable Year. Deferred Compensation includes Separation Pay paid pursuant to a Separation Pay Plan except as otherwise described in Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(b)(9) relating to certain excluded Involuntary or Voluntary Separation from Service or Window Programs and certain reimbursements, medical benefits, in-kind benefits and limited payments. Deferred Compensation excludes certain short-term deferrals and all other items described in Treas. Reg. §§1.409A-1(b)(3), (4), (5), (6), (8), (10), (11) and (12) or in other Applicable Guidance.
Earnings means earnings, gain or loss applicable to a Participants Account provided that such amounts reflect actual predetermined investments or notional amounts which do not exceed a reasonable rate of interest. Amounts credited to an Account that do not reflect actual predetermined investments or a reasonable rate of interest are Deferred Compensation and are not Earnings. For purposes of making the determination of whether an amount is Earnings or is Deferred Compensation, the principles of Treas. Reg. §31.3121(v)(2)-1(d)(2) apply.
Effective Date of the Plan is the date the Employer specifies in the Adoption Agreement, but which is not earlier than January 1, 2008. If this Plan restates a Plan (written or otherwise) which was in effect before January 1, 2008, for periods before January 1, 2008, as to 409A Amounts, the standards and transition rules in effect under Notices 2006-79, 2006-64, 2003-33, 2006-4, Prop. Treas. Reg. §1.409A, Preamble, Section XI and Notice 2005-1 apply. See also the Treas. Reg. §1.409A Preamble, Section XII as to the treatment of certain actions which were in compliance with Applicable Guidance in effect before the issuance of such 409A Regulations on April 17, 2007, but which are not in compliance with such Regulations.
Elective Deferral means Compensation a Participant elects to defer into the Participants Account under the Plan.
Elective Deferral Account means the portion of a Participants Account attributable to Elective Deferrals and Earnings thereon.
Employee means a person providing services to the Employer as a common law employee (and not as a Contractor) as described in Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(f)(1) and who, for any Taxable Year of the Employee, is on the cash receipts and disbursements method of accounting for Federal income tax purposes.
Employer means the person or entity: (i) receiving the services of the Participant (even if another person pays the Deferred Compensation); (ii) with respect to whom the Legally Binding Right to Compensation arises; and (iii) who or which executes an Adoption Agreement establishing the Plan. The Employer includes all persons with whom the Employer would be considered a single employer under Code §§414(b) or (c). In the case of an Ineligible 457 Plan, Employer means a State or a Tax-Exempt Organization. For purposes of this Plan, Employer means service recipient as that term in used in Treas. Reg. §1.409A1 through -6.
Employer Contribution means amounts the Employer contributes or credits to an Account under the Plan, including Nonelective Contributions and Matching Contributions but not including Elective Deferrals.
Employer Contribution Account means the portion of a Participants Account attributable to Employer Contributions and Earnings thereon.
ERISA means the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.
409A Amount means: (i) any Compensation Deferred prior to January 1, 2005, unless such Deferred Compensation is a Grandfathered Amount; and (ii) any Compensation Deferred in Taxable Years beginning after December 31, 2004. In determining 409A Amounts, the rules of Section 1.05 regarding Aggregated Plans apply.
Grandfathered Amount means an amount of Deferred Compensation hereunder as to which, prior to January 1, 2005, a Participant: (i) had a Legally Binding Right to be paid Deferred Compensation; and (ii) was Vested. However, if the Employer after October 3, 2004, materially modifies the Plan as described in Treas. Reg.

Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Prototype Plan
1.409A-6(a)(4), then such amount ceases to be a Grandfathered Amount. In determining Grandfathered Amounts, the rules of Section 1.05 regarding Aggregated Plans apply.
Ineligible 457 Plan means this Plan which is subject to Code §457(f) and that is not an eligible 457 plan under Code §457(b).
Legally Binding Right means, in reference to Compensation, the grant by the Employer to the Participant of an enforceable right (under contract, statute or other applicable law) to Compensation where, after the Participant has performed the services which created the Legally Binding Right, the Compensation is not subject to unilateral reduction or elimination by the Employer or any other person. The Employer, based on the facts and circumstances and in accordance with Treas. Reg. §1.409A-I (b)(1), will determine: (i) whether a Legally Binding Right exists; or (ii) whether a Legally Binding Right does not exist on account of the existence of negative discretion which has substantive significance to reduce or eliminate the Compensation. Negative discretion does not exist where the Participant has effective control over the person with the negative discretion, has effective control over any portion of compensation of the decision maker or is a family member of the decision maker (within the meaning of Code §267(c)(4) applied as if the family of an individual includes the spouse of any member of the family). Compensation is not subject to unilateral reduction or elimination merely because: (i) it may be reduced or eliminated by operation of objective Plan terms, such as a Substantial Risk of Forfeiture; (ii) the Compensation is determined under a formula that provides for an offset based on benefits provided under another plan, including a qualified plan; or (iii) benefits are reduced on account of actual or notional investment losses, or, in a final average pay plan, because of subsequent decreases in compensation.
Matching Contribution means a fixed or discretionary Employer contribution made with respect to a Participants Elective Deferral.
Matching Contribution Account means the portion of a Participants Account attributable to Matching Contributions and Earnings thereon.
Nonelective Contribution means a fixed or discretionary Employer Contribution that is unrelated to a Participants Elective Deferrals.
Nonelective Contribution Account means the portion of a Participants Account attributable to Nonelective Contributions and Earnings thereon.
Participant means an Employee or Contractor the Employer designates under Adoption Agreement Section 2.01 or in Exhibit B to the Adoption Agreement to participate in the Plan. For purposes of this Plan, Participant means a service provider as that term in used in Treas. Reg. 1.409A-1 through-6, who is a participant in the Plan. A reference herein to service provider means another service provider to the Employer, whether or not that person is a Participant.
Performance-Based Compensation means Compensation (including a Bonus) where the amount of, or entitlement to, the Compensation is contingent on satisfaction of preestablished organizational or individual performance criteria relating to a performance period of at least 12 consecutive months. The Employer must establish the organizational or individual performance criteria in writing not later than 90 days after commencement of the performance period and the outcome must be substantially uncertain at the time that the Employer establishes the performance criteria. The Employer may establish performance criteria without the necessity of action by its shareholders, board of directors, compensation committee or similar entities in the case of a non-corporate Employer. Performance-Based Compensation does not include any amount that will be paid regardless of performance or that will be paid based on a level of performance that is substantially certain to be met at the time the criteria are established. If the Plan will pay the Participants Performance-Based Compensation in the event of the Participants death or disability or if a Change in Control occurs, without regard to whether the performance criteria have been satisfied, the Compensation is not Performance-Based Compensation (and therefore is not entitled to the election timing under Section 2.02(B)(4)) if payment occurs as a result of any of such events. Disability for purposes of this Section 1.37 means any medically determinable physical or mental impairment resulting form the

Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan
Adoption Agreement
Participants inability to perform the duties of his/her position or of any substantially similar position, where such impairment can be expected to result in death or to last for a continuous period of not less than 6 months. Performance-Based Compensation does not include an amount of Compensation which is based on a specified number of shares of stock multiplied by the share price at the end of the performance period, but may include an amount of Compensation based on an increase in share price over the performance period or which is not payable unless the share price is at or above a specified price. Performance-Based Compensation may be based on subjective performance criteria provided: (i) the criteria are bona fide and relate the Participants performance, a group of service providers that includes the Participant or a business unit for which the Participant provides services which may include the Employer; and (ii) the person who decides whether the subjective performance criteria have been met is someone other than the Participant, the Participants family member (within the meaning of Code §267(c)(4) applied as if the family of an individual includes the spouse of any member of the family), or a person under the effective control of the Participant or such a family member. In addition, the decision makers compensation may not be controlled in whole or in part by the Participant or such a family member. The Employer will determine the status of Compensation as Performance-Based Compensation in accordance with Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(e) and Applicable Guidance.
Plan means the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan of the Employer established by and including the Adoption Agreement, the Basic Plan Document, the Trust, if any, and all notices, forms, elections and other written documentation to which the Plan refers. The Employer will set forth the name of the Plan in its Adoption Agreement. For purposes of applying Code §409A requirements this Plan, as the Employer elects in its Adoption Agreement, is an Elective Deferral Account Balance Plan, an Employer Contribution Account Balance Plan or both, or is a Separation Pay Plan. This Plan does not constitute: (i) a Code §401(a) plan with and exempt trust under Code §501(a); (ii) a Code §403(a) annuity plan; (iii) a Code §403(b) annuity; (iv) a Code §408(k) SEP; (v) a Code §408(p) Simple IRA; (vi) a Code §501(c)(18) trust to which an active participant makes deductible contributions; (vii) a Code §457(b) plan; or (viii) a Code §415(m) plan.
Retirement Age means the date (if any) the Employer elects in the Adoption Agreement.
Separation from Service
Employees . Separation from Service means in the case of an Employee, the Employees termination of employment with the Employer whether on account of death, retirement, Disability or otherwise.
Insignificant or Significant Service/Presumptions . The Employer will determine whether an Employee has terminated employment (and incurred a Separation from Service) based on whether the facts and circumstances as described in Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(h)(1)(ii). An Employee incurs a Separation from Service if the parties reasonably anticipate, based on the facts and circumstances, the Employee will not perform any additional services after a certain date or that the level of bona fide services (whether performed as an Employee or as a Contractor) will permanently decrease to no more than 20% of the average level of bona fide services performed (whether performed as an Employee or as a Contractor) over the immediately preceding 36-month period (or, if less, the period the employee has rendered service to the Employer) (average prior service). An Employee is presumed to have incurred a Separation from Service if the Employees service level decreases to 20% or less than the average prior service and an Employee is presumed to not have incurred a Separation from Service if the Employees service level continues at a rate which is 50% or more of the average prior service. No presumption applies where the Employees service level is more than 20% and less than 50% of the average prior service.
Effect of Leave . An Employee does not incur a Separation from Service if the Employee is on military leave, sick leave, or other bona fide leave of absence if such leave does not exceed a period of 6 months, or if longer, the period for which a statute or contract provides the Employee with the right to reemployment with the Employer. If a Participants leave exceeds 6 months but the Participant is not entitled to reemployment under a statute or contract, the Participant incurs a Separation from Service on the next day following the expiration of 6 months. A leave of absence constitutes a bona fide leave of absence for this Section 1.40 only if there is a reasonable expectation that the Employee will return to perform services for the Employer. Where a leave of absence is due to any medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or to last for a

Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Prototype Plan
continuous period of at least 6 months, and where the Participant cannot perform his/her duties or the duties of any substantially similar position, in determining when a Separation from Service occurs, the above 6 month period is 29 months unless the Employer or the Employee terminate the leave sooner. For purposes of determining average prior service under Section 1.40 (A)(1), during a paid leave of absence which is not a Separation From Service, the Employee is treated as rendering bona fide services at a level that would have been required to earn the amount paid during the leave. If the leave of absence is unpaid, the leave period is disregarded in determining average prior service.
Alternative Definition . In lieu of applying Section 1.40(A)(1), the Employer or Participant in an initial payment election or in a change payment election may elect a percentage of reduced bona fide services resulting in a Separation from Service which percentage must be greater than 20% and less than 50% of prior average service, determined over the immediately preceding 36 months.
Contractors . Separation from Service, in the case of a Contractor, means the expiration of the contract (or all contracts) under which the Contractor performs services for the Employer provided that the expiration constitutes a good-faith and complete termination of the contractual relationship between the Contractor and the Employer. A good-faith and complete termination does not occur if the Employer anticipates a renewal of the service contract or the Employer anticipates the Contractor becoming an Employee. The Employer anticipates the renewal of the contract if the Employer intends to contract again for the services provided under the expired contract and neither the Employer nor the Contractor has eliminated the Contractor as a possible provider of such additional services. The Employer is deemed to intend renewal of the Contractors expired contract if renewal is conditioned only upon incurring a need for services, the Employers ability to pay for the services, or both. See Section 4.01(E) as to Contractor deemed Separation from Service provisions.
Involuntary Separation from Service (including for good reason) . Involuntary Separation from Service means a Separation from Service due to the Employers independent exercise of unilateral authority to terminate the Participants services (other than due the Participants implicit or explicit request), where the Participant was willing and able to continue performing services for the Employer. Involuntary Separation from Service may include the Employers failure to renew the service contract at the time the contract expires provided that the Participant was willing and able to execute a new contract on substantially the same terms and conditions as the expiring contract and to continue providing such services. The Employer will make the determination as to whether an Involuntary Separation from Service has occurred based on all of the facts and circumstances and in accordance with Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(n). For this purpose, a Participants voluntary Separation from Service is treated as an Involuntary Separation from Service if it is for good reason as described in Treas. Reg. §§1.409A-1(n)(2). For this purpose, the Separation from Service is deemed to be for a good reason if it occurs during a limited period not to exceed 2 years following the initial existence of the following without the Participants: consent (i) a material reduction in the Participants base compensation (including Base Salary); (ii) a material reduction in the Participants authority, duties or responsibilities; (iii) a material reduction in the authority, duties or responsibilities of the Participants supervisor, including a change in the Participants reporting responsibilities to a lower level than the board of directors or similar authority in a non-corporate entity; (iv) a material reduction in the Participants budget; (v) a material change in the location at which the Participant renders service; or (vi) any other action or inaction that constitutes the Employers material breach of the agreement under which the Participant provides services to the Employer. In addition, to be a deemed good reason the amount, time and form of payment upon Separation from Service must be substantially identical to the amount payable upon an actual Involuntary Separation from Service, if such right exists, and the Participant must provide notice to the Employer within 90 days of the initial existence of the condition and afford the Employer at least 30 days to remedy the condition without having to pay the Compensation.
Voluntary Separation from Service . Voluntary Separation from Service means a Separation from Service which is not an Involuntary Separation from Service under Section 1.40(C).
Employer for Purposes of Separation Rules . The Employer for purposes of applying this Section 1.40 (determining Separation from Service under the Plan) means as defined under Section 1.24 but by applying 50% in lieu of 80% in applying Code §§414(b) and (c). The Employer in lieu of applying the previous sentence may elect in its Adoption Agreement to use a percentage equal to not less than 20% and not more than 80% in

Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Prototype Plan
determining related employers under Code §§414(b) and (c); provided that the Employer may not elect to apply a percentage which is less than 50% unless there are legitimate business criteria for doing so.
Dual Capacity . If a Participant renders service to the Employer both in the capacity as an Employee and as a Contractor (or changes status from Employee to Contractor or vice versa), the Participant must incur a Separation from Service in both capacities to constitute a Separation from Service. For this purpose, if a Participant renders service both as an Employee and as a member of the Employers board of directors (or an analogous position in the case of a non-corporate Employer) the director services (or the Employee services if this Plan relates to director services) are disregarded in determining whether the Participant has incurred a Separation from Service as to this Plan provided that the plans are not Aggregated Plans.
Certain Asset Sales . In accordance with and subject to Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(h)(4), if the Employer sells its assets to an unrelated party purchaser where the Participants otherwise would incur a Separation from Service and where such Participants will provide services to the purchaser after the sale closing, the Employer and the purchaser retain discretion no later than the asset sale closing date to specify in writing whether the Participants will incur a Separation from Service. In making such determination, the Employer and the purchaser must treat all affected Participants consistently.
Collectively Bargained Multiple Employer Plan . If the Plan is established pursuant to a bona fide collective bargaining agreement covering services rendered for multiple employers, the Employer (which for this purpose means the employer which executes the Adoption Agreement) in its Adoption Agreement may elect to define Separation from Service in a reasonable manner that treats an Employee as not having separated during periods in which the Employee is not providing services but is available to do so for one or more employers. However, such alternative definition must also provide that the Employee is deemed to have incurred a Separation from Service at a specified date not later than the end of any period of at least 12 consecutive months during which time the Employee has not provided any service covered by the collective bargaining agreement to any participating employer. The Employer will apply this section in accordance with the requirements of Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(h)(6).
Separation Pay means any Deferred Compensation (applied before application of any exclusion applicable to Separation Pay Plans under Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(b)(9)) that will not be paid under any circumstances unless the Participant incurs a Separation from Service, whether voluntary or involuntary, including payments in the form of reimbursements for expenses incurred and provision of in-kind benefits. Deferred Compensation that a Participant may receive without incurring a Separation from Service is not Separation Pay merely because the Participant elects to receive or receives payment upon or after Separation from Service. Deferred Compensation does not fail to constitute Separation Pay merely because the Participant must execute a release of claims, noncompetition agreement or nondisclosure agreement or is subject to similar requirements. Any amount or entitlement that acts as a substitute for, or replacement of, Deferred Compensation is a payment of Deferred Compensation and is not Separation Pay.
Separation Pay Plan means any plan that provides for Separation Pay, including the portion of any plan that provides for Separation Pay, under Treas. Reg. §§1.409A-1(m). The Employer in its Adoption Agreement will elect whether this Plan is a Separation Pay Plan and will elect whether the plan pays benefits in the event of Involuntary Separation from Service, Voluntary Separation from Service, pursuant to a Window Program or a combination thereof.
Service Year means a Participants Taxable Year in which the Participant performs services which give rise to Compensation. A service period or performance period means a Service Year or such other period in which a Participant performs services for the Employer giving rise to Compensation.
Specified Employee means a Participant who is a key employee as described in Code §416(i)(1)(A), disregarding paragraph (5) thereof and using compensation as defined under Treas. Reg. §1.415(c)-2(a). However, a Participant is not a Specified Employee unless any stock of the Employer is publicly traded on an established securities market or otherwise and the Participant is a Specified Employee on the date of his/her Separation from

If a Participant is a key employee at any time during the 12 months ending on the Specified Employee identification date, the Participant is a Specified Employee for the 12 month period commencing on the Specified Employee effective date. The Specified Employee identification date is December 31. The Specified Employee effective date is the April 1 following the Specified Employee identification date. The Employer, in determining whether this Section 1.44 and all related Plan provisions apply, will determine whether the Employer has any publicly traded stock as of the date of a Participants Separation from Service. In the case of certain corporate transactions (a merger, acquisition, spin-off or initial public offering), or in the case of nonresident alien Employees, the Employer will apply the Specified Employee provisions of the Plan in accordance with Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(i) and other Applicable Guidance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Employer in its Adoption Agreement, and in accordance with Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(i) and other Applicable Guidance, may make the following elections: (i) use of any Code §415 definition of compensation for Specified Employee determination; (ii) designation of an alternative Specified Employee identification date; (iii) designation of an alternative Specified Employee effective date; (iv) use of an alternative method to identify Participants who will be subject to the 6 month delay rule in Section 4.01(D); (v) certain elections in the context of corporate transactions; and (vi) certain elections regarding nonresident alien Employees. The Employers election under clauses (ii) or (iii) regarding an identification date or effective date made on or before December 31, 2007, applies to any Separation from Service occurring on or after January 1, 2005, unless the Employer subsequently changes the identification date and/or effective date. Such elections are effective as of the date that all necessary corporate action has been taken to make the election binding as to all nonqualified deferred compensation plans in which service providers of the Employer who would become a Specified Employees participate. The Employer must apply all such elections consistently as to all service providers. The Employer will apply the Specified Employee provisions of the Plan, including the elections described in this Section 1.44, in accordance with Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(i) and other Applicable Guidance.
Specified Time or Fixed Schedule means, in reference to a payment of Deferred Compensation, the Employer, at the time of the deferral of the Compensation can objectively determine: (i) the amount payable; and (ii) the payment date or dates. An amount is objectively determinable if the deferral election specifically identifies the amount or if the Employer can determine the amount at the time it is due pursuant to an objective, nondiscretionary formula specified at the time of deferral.
Dates and Period(s) . A payment is scheduled to occur at a specified time if it is a lump sum payment on a specific date, or a specific, objectively determinable date, including following the lapse of a substantial risk of forfeiture. A payment is scheduled to occur on a fixed schedule if it is a series of payments (which may include an annuity or a series of installments) payable on specific dates or on specifically, objectively determinable dates including following the lapse of a substantial risk of forfeiture. The designation of a Taxable Year of the Participant, or a defined period within a Taxable Year of the Participant, in which payment will occur is adequate designation of a specific date. For purposes of Sections 4.02 and 4.05, if the date specified is only a designated Taxable Year of the Participant, or a period of time during such a Taxable Year, the date specified under the plan is treated as the first day of such Taxable Year or the first day of the period of time, as applicable.
Limitations and Link to Employer Receipts . A Fixed Schedule may include certain: (i) limitations on the amount payable at a specified time of during a specified period expressed either as a stated limit or based on an objective nondiscretionary formula; and (ii) payment schedules based on the timing of payments received by the Employer as described in Treas. Reg. §§1.409A-3(i)(1)(ii) and (iii) and other Applicable Guidance.
Tax Gross-Up Payments . A Specified Time or Fixed Schedule may include tax gross-up payments made by the end of the Participants Taxable Year which follows the Taxable Year in which the Participant remits the related taxes resulting from compensation paid or made available to the Participant by the Employer, as described in Treas. Reg. §1.409A-3(i)(1)(v) and other Applicable Guidance.
State means: (i) one of the fifty states of the United States or the District of Columbia, or (ii) a political subdivision of a State, or any agency or instrumentality of a State or its political subdivision. A State does not include the federal government or an agency or instrumentality thereof.

Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan
Adoption Agreement
Substantial Risk of Forfeiture
409A Amounts . Substantial Risk of Forfeiture means as to 409A Amounts, and other than for purposes of application of Code §457(f), Compensation which is payable conditioned: (i) on the performance of substantial future services by any person including the Participant; or (ii) on the occurrence of a condition related to a purpose of the Compensation, and where under clause (i) or (ii) the possibility of forfeiture is substantial. A condition related to the purpose of the Compensation relates to the Participants performance for the Employer or to the Employers business activities or organizational goals. A Substantial Risk of Forfeiture includes conditioning payment on the Participants Involuntary Separation from Service without cause provided the possibility of not incurring such a Separation from Service is substantial. Except as to payment of Compensation related to a Change in Control, a Substantial Risk of Forfeiture does not include any addition of a condition after a Legally Binding Right to the Compensation arises or any extension of a period during which the Compensation is subject to a Substantial Risk of Forfeiture. Compensation is not subject to a Substantial Risk of Forfeiture merely because payment is conditioned on the Participants refraining from performing services. Compensation is not subject to a Substantial Risk of Forfeiture beyond the date or time that the Participant otherwise could have elected to receive the Compensation unless the present value of the amount subject to the Substantial Risk of Forfeiture (determined without regard to the Substantial Risk of Forfeiture) is materially greater than the present value of the amount that the Participant otherwise could have elected to receive, absent the Substantial Risk of Forfeiture. As such, a Participants Elective Deferrals generally may not be made subject to a Substantial Risk of Forfeiture if the Participant could have elected to receive an equivalent amount in cash. In addition, Compensation the Participant would receive for continuing to perform service for the Employer (such as through the extension of an employment contract) is disregarded in determining whether the present value of such nonvested payment amount is materially greater than the Compensation which the Participant could have elected to receive presently. In determining whether the possibility of forfeiture is substantial in the case of rights to Compensation granted to a Participant who owns significant voting power or value in the Employer, the Employer in accordance with Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(d)(3) and Applicable Guidance, will take into account all relevant facts and circumstances.
Grandfathered Amounts . A Substantial Risk of Forfeiture for Grandfathered Amounts is defined in Treas. Reg. §1.83-3(c) and in Notice 2005-1, Q/A-16(b) or in Applicable Guidance.
Ineligible 457 Plan . A Substantial Risk of Forfeiture for purposes of application of Code §457(f) under an Ineligible 457 Plan is described in Code §457(f)(3)(B), Treas. Reg. §1.83-3(c) and Applicable Guidance.
Tax-Exempt Organization means any tax-exempt organization other than: (i) a governmental unit; or (ii) a church or a qualified church-controlled organization within the meaning of Code §§3121(w)(3)(A) and 3121(w)(3)(B).
Taxable Year means as to the Participant, the Participants taxable year and means as to the Employer, the Employers taxable year, in each case as the Plan provides or as the context otherwise requires.
Trust means the trust, if any, described in Section 5.03 of the Basic Plan Document and which the Employer in its Adoption Agreement elects to create.
Unforeseeable Emergency means: (i) a severe financial hardship to the Participant resulting from an illness or accident of the Participant, the Participants spouse, a Beneficiary or the Participants dependent (as defined in Code § 152 but without regard to Code §§152(b)(1), (b)(2) and (d)(1)(B)); (ii) loss of the Participants property due to casualty; or (iii) other similar extraordinary and unforeseeable circumstances arising as a result of events beyond the Participants control. The Employer in its Adoption Agreement will elect whether to permit payment based on a Participants Unforeseeable Emergency. The Employer will determine whether a Participant incurs an Unforeseeable Emergency based on the relevant facts and circumstances and in accordance with Treas. Reg. §1.409A-3(i)(3) or Applicable Guidance, but in any case, the Plan may not make payment to the extent that the Unforeseeable Emergency may be relieved: (i) through reimbursement or compensation from insurance or otherwise; (ii) by liquidation of the Participants assets to the extent that such liquidation of assets would not itself cause severe financial hardship; or (iii) by the

Adoption Agreement
Participants cessation of Elective Deferrals under the Plan. The Plan must limit the amount of any payment based on Unforeseeable Emergency to the amount that is reasonably necessary to satisfy the emergency need, which may include amounts necessary to pay any Federal, state, local or foreign income taxes or penalties reasonably anticipated to result from the payment. The Employer in making the determination as to the amount of payment must take into account any additional Compensation available to the Participant upon cancellation of an Elective Deferral election under Section 4.03(D)(vii). However, the Employer in determining necessity may disregard amounts available as a hardship distribution or a loan from a qualified plan or as an unforeseeable emergency distribution from another nonqualified plan, regardless of whether such amount is 409A Amount or is a Grandfathered Amount. If the Employer in its Adoption Agreement elects to permit payment based on Unforeseeable Emergency, the Employer further will elect whether to permit payment based on all events that will constitute an Unforeseeable Emergency or to limit such events to a subset of specific events which will so qualify. The Employer will not pay a Participant any Deferred Compensation based an Unforeseeable Emergency unless the Participant requests such payment on a form the Employer provides for this purpose, the Employer determines that the payment would qualify under the Plan terms as being based on the Participants Unforeseeable Emergency, and the Employer in its sole discretion otherwise approves the payment. Neither a Participants request or failure to request an Unforeseeable Emergency payment nor the Employers acceptance or rejection of such a request is a change payment election under Section 4.02(B).
USERRA means the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act of 1994, as amended.
Valuation Date means the last day of each of the Employers Taxable Year and such other dates as the Employer may determine.
Vested means an amount of Deferred Compensation which is not subject to a Substantial Risk of Forfeiture or to a requirement to perform further services for the Employer. For purposes of determining whether an amount satisfies the vesting requirement for Grandfathered Amounts under Article VII, the definition of Substantial Risk of Forfeiture in Section 1.47(B) applies.
Window Program means a program the Employer establishes in connection with an impending Separation from Service to provide Separation Pay to separated Participants and which program is available only for a period of up to 12 months for Participants who separate during such period or who separate during such period under specified circumstances. A Window Program does not include a program the Employer establishes under which there is a pattern of repeated provision of similar Separation Pay in similar situations for substantially consecutive limited periods of time. Whether a recurrent program constitutes such a pattern depends upon all of the facts and circumstances, including whether the benefits are account of a specific event or condition, the degree to which the separation pay relates to the event or condition and whether the event or condition is temporary or discrete or is a permanent aspect of the Employers business.
Wraparound Election means as to a Participant who also is a participant in a 401(k) plan of the Employer, an election (or elections, if made separately) to defer compensation under both plans with the result that the Participant will achieve under the 401(k) plan, the maximum amount of elective deferrals and matching contributions, if any, as is permissible under the 401(k) plan terms and under Code §§402(g), 401(k)(3), 401(m), 415 and 414(v). For any Participants Taxable Year, the maximum amount of Elective Deferrals the Plan will transfer as to the Participant (and corresponding decrease in amounts of Compensation Deferred to this Plan) may not exceed the Code §402(g) limit (but increased by catch-up contributions under Code §414(v) for any year in which the Participant is catch-up eligible). For any Participants Taxable Year, the maximum amount of Matching Contributions the Plan will transfer as to the Participant (and corresponding decrease in amounts of Compensation Deferred to this Plan) may not exceed the maximum amount of matching contributions that would be provided under the 401(k) plan absent any plan-based restrictions which reflect Code limits on qualified plan contributions. Under a Wraparound Election, the Plan promptly following completion of 401(k) plan testing and within any time required under Applicable Guidance, will transfer from the Participants Account such Elective Deferrals and related Matching Contributions for the Taxable Year (but without Earnings thereon) as are consistent with the Wraparound Election, to the Participants account under the 401(k) plan to

Adoption Agreement
be held and administered in accordance with the 401(k) plan. Any remaining amounts not transferred to the 401(k) plan will remain in and be administered in accordance with this Plan. The Employer in its Adoption Agreement will specify whether a participant may make a Wraparound Election. A Participant will make a Wraparound Election subject to any timing requirements of Applicable Guidance and on a form the Employer provides for this purpose.
Year of Service means the requirements, if any, the Employer specifies in its Adoption Agreement.
Participation
Participants Designated . The Employer will designate from time to time in its Adoption Agreement those Employees or Contractors (by name, job title or other classification) who are Participants in the Plan.
Elective Deferrals . The Employer will specify in its Adoption Agreement whether Participants may elect to make Elective Deferrals to their Accounts.
Limitations . The Employer will specify in its Adoption Agreement any amount limitations or conditions applicable to Elective Deferrals.
Election Form and Timing . A Participant must make his/her Elective Deferral election on an election form the Employer provides for that purpose. The Participant must make the election no later than the latest of the applicable times specified below. The Employer in its Adoption Agreement will elect that a Participant must make and deliver his/her election to the Employer no later than: (i) such applicable time; or (ii) the number of days prior to such applicable time as the Employer sets forth in its Adoption Agreement. The Employer will disregard any Elective Deferral election which is not timely under this Section 2.02(B).See Section 6.04.
General Timing Rule . Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.02(B), a Participant must deliver to the Employer his/her Elective Deferral election regarding Service Year Compensation no later than the end of the Participants Taxable Year which is prior to the Service Year.
New Participant/New Plan . As to the Service Year in which an Employee or a Contractor first becomes a Participant (a newly eligible Participant), the Participant must make and deliver an Elective Deferral election for that Service Year not later than 30 days after the Employee or Contractor becomes a Participant. All Participants who are eligible to participate on the Effective Date of a new plan are newly eligible Participants as of the Effective Date.
Participant status . For purposes of this Section 2.02(B)(2), an Employee or Contractor is eligible to participate in the Plan at any time during which, under the Plan terms and without further amendment or action by the Employer, the Employee or Contractor is eligible to accrue Deferred Compensation under the Plan (other than Earnings on prior Deferred Compensation), even if the Employee or Contractor has elected not to accrue any such Deferred Compensation (or has made no election).
Changes in status . For purposes of this Section 2.02(B)(2),_if a Participant has been paid all Deferred Compensation and on or before the last payment ceases to be eligible to participate in the Plan, but thereafter becomes eligible to participate, the Employee or Contractor is treated as a newly eligible Participant. If a Participant ceases to be eligible to participate, other than as to Earnings, regardless of whether the Participant has been fully paid all Deferred Compensation under the Plan, and subsequently becomes eligible to participate, the Employee or Contractor is treated as a newly eligible Participant provided that the period during which the Employee or Contractor was ineligible was at least 24 months.
Compensation to which election applies . Under this Section 2.02(B)(2), a Participants election may apply only to Compensation for services the Participant performs subsequent to the date the Participant delivers the election to the Employer. For Compensation that is earned for a specified performance period, including an

Adoption Agreement
annual bonus, if the newly eligible Participant makes an Elective Deferral election after the performance period commences, the Employer will pro rate the election by multiplying the performance period Compensation by the ratio of the number of days left in the performance period at the time of the election, over the total number of days in the entire performance period.
Excess benefit plan . For purposes of this Section 2.02(B)(2), if this Plan is an excess benefit plan, an Employee is a newly eligible Participant in the Plan as of the first day of the Employees Taxable Year immediately following the first year in which he or she accrues a benefit under the Plan. Any election the Employee makes within 30 days following such date applies to any benefits accrued for services provided before the election. An excess benefit plan for purposes of this Section 2.02(B)(2)(d) means a plan under which all Deferred Compensation is attributable to Employer Contributions and is based on the amount the Participant would have accrued under the Employers qualified plan(s) but for one or more Code limits which apply to the qualified plan(s) over the benefits the Participant actually accrues in such plan(s). Once a Participant has accrued a benefit or deferred compensation in any year, the Participant is not eligible to use the delayed election in this Section 2.02(B)(2)(d).
Aggregated Plans . All references to the Plan in this Section 2.02(B)(2) include Aggregated Plans. As such, an Employee or Contractor who participates in an Aggregated Plan is not a newly eligible Participant and this Section 2.02(B)(2) does not apply.
Certain Forfeitable Rights . If payment of Deferred Compensation is subject to a condition requiring the Participant to perform services for the Employer for at least 12 months after the Participant obtains the Legally Binding Right to the Compensation to avoid forfeiture of the payment, the Participant may make an Elective Deferral election no later than 30 days after the Participant obtains the Legally Binding Right to the Compensation, provided the Participant makes the election at least 12 months prior to the earliest date on which the service forfeiture condition could lapse. If the Plan provides for a waiver of the service condition upon the Participants death, Disability or upon a Change in Control, and such event occurs before the end of the 12 month minimum service period, the Participants elective Deferral election is valid only if the election is timely under the Plan without regard to this Section 2.02(B)(3).
Performance-Based Compensation . As to any Performance-Based Compensation, a Participant may elect no later than 6 months before the end of the performance period to defer such Compensation, provided that the Participant: (i) continuously performs services from the later of the beginning of the performance period or the date the Employer establishes the performance criteria and at least through the date of the Participants election; and (ii) may not make an election after the Compensation has become readily ascertainable. For purposes of this Section 2.02(B)(4), if the Performance-Based Compensation is a specified or calculable amount, the Compensation is readily ascertainable if and when the amount is first substantially certain to be paid. If the Performance-Based Compensation is not a specified or calculable amount, the Compensation or any portion thereof is readily ascertainable when the amount is first both calculable and substantially certain to be paid. In applying this Section 2.02(B)(4), the Employer will bifurcate any right to payment as between amounts which are readily ascertainable and amounts which are not readily ascertainable.
Commissions .
Sales Commissions . For purposes of election timing under this Section 2.02(B), if Compensation consists of Sales Commissions, the Participant is treated as providing the services giving rise to the Commissions in the Participants Taxable Year in which the customer remits payment to the Employer, or, if applied consistently to all similarly situated service providers, the Participants Taxable Year in which the sale occurs.
Investment Commissions . For purposes of election timing under this Section 2.02(B), if Compensation consists of Investment Commissions, the Participant is treated as providing the services giving rise to the Commissions over the 12 months preceding the date as of which the overall value of the assets or the asset accounts is determined for purposes of calculation of the Investment Commissions.

Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan
Adoption Agreement
Final Payroll Period . If Compensation is payable after the last day of the Participants Taxable Year, but is Compensation for the Participants services during the final payroll period within the meaning of Code §3401(b) (or, as to a Contractor, a period not longer than such period) which contains the last day of the Participants Taxable Year, the Compensation is treated for purposes of an election under this Section 2.02(B), as Compensation: (i) for the current Taxable Year in which the final payroll period commenced; or (ii) for the subsequent Taxable Year in which the Employer pays the Compensation, as the Employer elects in its Adoption Agreement. This Section 2.02(B)(6) does not apply to Compensation for services performed over any period other than the final payroll period as described herein, including an annual bonus. If the Employer amends its Adoption Agreement after December 31, 2007, to alter the timing rule of this Section 2.02(B)(6), any such amendment may not take effect until 12 months after the later of the date the amendment is executed and is effective. If the Plan is a restated Plan, whatever election the Employer makes in it Adoption Agreement on or before December 31, 2007, applies to any period spanning 2005 through 2007, as applicable, unless the Employer indicates otherwise in its election.
Separation Pay/Window Program . If the Participants election relates to Separation Pay (based on voluntary or involuntary Separation from Service) and the Separation Pay is the subject of bona-fide, arms length negotiations at the time of Separation from Service, the Participant may make an election under this Section 2.02(B) at any time up to the time that the Participant has a Legally Binding Right to the Separation Pay. This Section 2.02(B)(7) does not apply to any Separation Pay to which the Participant obtained a Legally Binding Right before the negotiations at the time of Separation from Service, including a right to payment subject to a condition. If the Separation Pay results from a Window Program, the Participant may make the election at any time up to the time that the Participants election to participate in the Window Program becomes irrevocable.
Fiscal Year Employer . In the event that the Employers Taxable Year is a not the same as the Participants Taxable Year, a Participant may elect to defer Compensation which is co-extensive with one or more of the Employers consecutive Taxable Years, and no amount of which is paid or payable during the Employers Taxable Year or Years constituting the period of service, by making an election no later than the end of the Employers Taxable Year which precedes the Employers first Taxable Year in which the Participant performs the service for which the Compensation is payable.
Election Changes/ Irrevocability . The Employer in its Adoption Agreement will elect whether a Participants Elective Deferral election made prior to the Section 2.02(B) deadline becomes irrevocable as to a Taxable Year: (i) following the last day on which a Participant may make an election under Section 2.02(B) for such Taxable Year; or (ii) if earlier, when the Participant makes the election for a Taxable Year. For this purpose, a Participants Elective Deferral election is considered made when the Employer accepts the election. If the Employer elects to permit changes to an election up to the Section 2.02(B) election deadline, a Participant may make any number of changes to his/her Elective Deferral election during the period prior to the election becoming irrevocable. If the Employer elects in its Adoption Agreement and under Section 2.02(D) that a Participants election is continuing, the Participant is deemed to have made an irrevocable election as to each Taxable Year on the last day that the Participant could have made an election under Section 2.02(B). As such, the Participant may revoke or modify a continuing election for a Taxable Year up to the date that such election is deemed made and irrevocable for that Taxable Year. A change payment election under Section 4.02(B) or a permissible acceleration under Section 4.02(C)(3) does not render an Elective Deferral election and an accompanying initial payment election under Section 4.02(A) revocable within the meaning of this Section 2.02(C).
Election Duration/Cancellation . As the Employer elects in its Adoption Agreement, a Participants Elective Deferral election remains in effect: (i) only for the duration of the Taxable Year for which the Participant makes the election; or (ii) for the duration of the Taxable Year for which the Participant makes the election and for all subsequent Taxable Years unless the Participant executes a subsequent timely election, modification or revocation. A Participant, subject to Plan requirements regarding election timing, may make a new election, or may revoke or modify an existing election effective no earlier than for the next Taxable Year, provided that under Section 4.02(C)(3), a Participant may cancel an existing and otherwise irrevocable election for a Taxable Year at any time following the Participants receipt

of an Unforeseeable Emergency distribution or of a distribution from the Employers 401(k) plan based upon hardship within the meaning of Treas. Reg. §1.401(k)-1(d)(3).
Non-Elections or Deemed Compliance .
Linkage to Qualified or Certain Foreign Plans . The following are not elections under Section 2.02(B): (i) the amount of Compensation Deferred under this Plan is determined under a formula for determining benefits under the Employers qualified plan or broad-based foreign retirement plan (but applied without regard to Code or foreign law imposed limitations); or (ii) the amount of Compensation Deferred under this Plan is offset by some or all benefits provided under the Employers qualified plan or broad-based foreign plan and where in either case the amount of Compensation Deferred under the Plan increases on account of changes in the Code or foreign law imposed benefit limitations applicable to the qualified plan or foreign plan, provided in either case such operation does not result in a change in the time or form for payment under this Plan and that the change in the amounts of Compensation Deferred do not exceed the change in amounts deferred under the qualified plan or foreign plan.
Actions/Inactions (including Wraparound Elections) . The following Participant actions or in actions are not elections under Section 2.02(B), even if they result in an increase in Compensation Deferred under the Plan: (i) election or non-election under the Employers qualified plan or broad-based foreign plan as to receipt of a subsidized or ancillary benefit under such plans; (ii) an amendment of such other plans benefits to add or remove a subsidized or ancillary benefit or to freeze or limit future accruals under the qualified plan or foreign plan or to reduce existing benefits under the foreign plan; or (iii) a Participants Wraparound Election, provided in all cases such action or inaction does not result in a change in the time or form for payment under this Plan and that under clauses (i) and (ii) above, the change in the amounts of Compensation Deferred do not exceed the change in amounts deferred under the qualified plan or foreign plan.
Elections under a Cafeteria (125) Plan . If a Participant who is also a participant in a cafeteria (Code § 125) plan of the Employer, changes an election under the cafeteria plan with the result that the amount of Compensation Deferred under this Plan changes on account of an increase or decrease in Compensation under this Plan as a result of the cafeteria plan election, the cafeteria plan election is not an election for purposes of Section 2.02(B).
USERRA Rights . The requirements of Section 2.02(B) are deemed satisfied as to any Elective Deferral election (including an initial payment election) which the Plan provides to satisfy the requirements of USERRA.
Annualizing Recurrent Partial Year Compensation . If a Participant is receiving recurring part-year Compensation, the Participants election to defer all or a portion of such Compensation to be earned during a particular service period is deemed to satisfy the requirements of Section 2.02(B) if the Participant makes the election before the services giving rise to the Compensation begin and the election does not defer payment of any of such Compensation to a date beyond the last day of the 13 th month following the first date of the service period. For purposes of this Section 2.02(E)(5), recurring part-year Compensation means Compensation paid for services rendered as to a position the Participant and the Employer reasonably anticipate will continue on similar terms and on similar conditions in subsequent years, and will require services to be provided in successive service periods, each of which comprises less than 12 months and each of which begins in one Taxable Year of the Participant and ends in the next Taxable Year. This Section 2.02(E)(5) applies only once to Compensation Deferred such that the same amount may not again be treated as recurring part-year Compensation and subject to a second deferral election.
Nonelective Contributions . The Employer will specify in its Adoption Agreement whether the Employer will or may make Nonelective Contributions to the Plan, and the terms and conditions applicable to any Nonelective Contributions.
Matching Contributions . The Employer will specify in its Adoption Agreement whether the Employer will or may make Matching Contributions to the Plan, and the terms and conditions applicable to any Matching Contributions.

Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan
Adoption Agreement
Actual or Notional Contribution . The Employer will specify in its Adoption Agreement whether it will make any Employer Contribution as a notional contribution or as an actual contribution. If the Employer establishes the Trust, any Employer Contributions to the Trust will be actual contributions.
Allocation Conditions . The Employer will specify in its Adoption Agreement or an exhibit thereto any employment or other condition applicable to the allocation of Employer Contributions for a Taxable Year.
Timing . The Employer may elect to make any Employer Contribution for a Taxable Year at such times as Code §409A or Applicable Guidance may permit. The Employer is not required to contribute any actual contribution (or to post any notional contribution) to an Account at the time that the Employer makes its contribution election.
Administration . The Employer will administer all Employer Contributions in the same manner as Elective Deferrals, and will treat the Employers election to make Employer Contributions as an Elective Deferral election, except as the Plan otherwise provides. If the Employer establishes the Trust, the Employer will remit any Elective Deferrals to the Trust and will make any Employer Contributions to the Trust. Any Employer Contribution is not subject to an immediate Participant right to elect a cash payment in lieu of the Employer Contribution and such amounts are payable only in accordance with the Plan terms.
Vesting and Substantial Risk of Forfeiture
Vesting Schedule or other Substantial Risk of Forfeiture . The Employer will specify in its Adoption Agreement any vesting schedule or other Substantial Risk of Forfeiture applicable to Participant Accounts. If the Plan is an Ineligible 457 Plan, the Employer must specify a Substantial Risk of Forfeiture.
Immediate Vesting on Specified Events . The Employer will specify in its Adoption Agreement whether a Participants Account is Vested without regard to Years of Service if the Participant Separates from Service on or following Retirement Age, or as a result of death, Disability, or other events.

A Participant will forfeit any other non-Vested Accrued Benefit when the condition constituting a Substantial Risk of Forfeiture can no longer be satisfied, such as its expiration date. The Employer will specify in its Adoption Agreement how it will apply Participant forfeitures under the Plan.
Benefit Payments
Payment Events . The Employer in its Adoption Agreement will specify the Plan permissible payment events as all or some of the following payment events affecting a Participant: (i) Separation from Service; (ii) death; (iii) Disability; (iv) a Specified Time or pursuant to a Fixed Schedule; (v) Change in Control; or (vi) Unforeseeable Emergency. As to payment events (i), (ii),(iii) (v) and (vi), the Plan will pay to the Participant the Vested Accrued Benefit held in the Participants Account on the applicable payment event or on another specified payment date as provided in Section 4.01(A). Payment will commence at the time and payment will be made in the form and medium specified under Section 4.02. See Section 4.02 as to payment elections, including as to payment events under this Section 4.01.
Payment on Objective and Nondiscretionary (Specified) Payment Date(s) . The Plan or an initial payment election or change payment election must provide for a payment date that the Employer, at the time of the payment event, can determine objectively and without the exercise of discretion. Such payment date may, but need not, coincide with a payment event, but any payment date must be on or following and must relate to a Plan payment event.
Payment Schedule as Payment Date . A specified payment date may include a payment schedule which is objectively determinable and nondiscretionary based on the date of the payment event and that would qualify as a Fixed

Designation of Year or Other Period . A specified payment date or a specified payment schedule with regard to any payment event other than a Specified Time or pursuant to a Fixed Schedule may include: (i) a Participants Taxable Year or Years; or (ii) a designated period of time but only if the designated period both begins and ends within one Taxable Year of the Participant or the designated period is not more than 90 days and the Participant does not have the right to designate the Taxable Year of payment except under a change payment election under Section 4.02(B). For purposes of clause (ii), this includes designation of payment on or before the last date of the designated (maximum 90 day) period but after the payment event occurs.
Deemed Payment Date . If the Adoption Agreement or any such election provides for payment only in a designated Taxable Year or Years, the payment date is deemed to be January 1 of that Year or Years. If the Adoption Agreement or any such election provides for payment only in a designated period, the payment date is deemed to be the first day in the relevant period.
Payment Event Default . This Section 4.01(B) applies if the Employer in its Adoption Agreement fails to elect one or more payment events described in this Section 4.01, if a Participant or the Employer under Section 4.02 fails to elect one of more payment events where the Adoption Agreement affords them such an election, or if the Employer under Section 4.06 rejects the election and the Participant does not timely file a new election the Employer accepts. In such event, the Plan will pay the affected Participants Vested Benefit held in the Participants Account following the earlier of the Participants Separation from Service or death. See Section 4.02(A)(5) as to the applicable default for the time, form and medium of such payments. If this default provision applies, the default payment is deemed to be an initial payment election under the Plan.
Multiple Payment Events; Sequencing . The Plan or an initial payment election or a change payment election may provide for more than one permissible payment event and may provide for payment upon the earliest or latest of more than one permissible payment event. See Section 4.02(A)(4) as to limitations on the number of time and form of payment elections which may apply to a single payment event. In a Separation Pay Plan, the Plan or any election may provide for any payment only upon Separation from Service (including as a result of death or Disability).
Payment to Specified Employees . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or in a Participant or Employer payment election, the Plan may not make payment, based on Separation from Service to a Participant who, on the date of Separation from Service is a Specified Employee, earlier than 6 months following Separation from Service (or if earlier, upon the Specified Employees death), except as permitted under this Section 4.01(D). This limitation applies regardless of the Participants status as a Specified Employee or otherwise on any other date including the next Specified Employee effective date had the Participant continued to render services through such date. The Employer, operationally and without any direct or indirect Participant election, will elect whether any payments that otherwise would be payable to the Specified Employee during the foregoing 6 month period: (i) will be accumulated and payment delayed until the first day of the seventh month that is after the 6 month period; or (ii) will be delayed by 6 months as to each installment otherwise payable during the 6 month period. This Section 4.01(D) does not apply to payments made on account of a domestic relations order, payments made because of a conflict of interest, or payment of employment taxes, all as described in Treas. Reg. 1.409A-3(i)(2)(i). This Section 4.01(D) also does not apply to any reimbursement or in-kind benefit which is Separation Pay but which is not Deferred Compensation under Section 1.18(A).
Deemed Separation of Contractor . The Employer in its Adoption Agreement may elect to apply the special payment timing rules in this Section 4.01(E) as to Contractors. Compliance with this Section 4.01(E) results in the Contractor being deemed to have incurred a Separation from Service under Section 1.39. Under this Section 4.0I(E): (i) the Plan will not pay a Contractors Account, or any portion thereof, before a date that is at least 12 months after the expiration of the contract (or all contracts) under which the Contractor performs services for the Employer; and (ii) no

Adoption Agreement
amount payable under clause (i) will be paid to the Contractor if the Contractor (whether as a Contractor or an Employee) performs services for the Employer after the contract(s) expiration and before the payment date.
Timing, Form and Medium/ Payment Elections . Unless the Employer under Section 4.02(A) and/or 4.02(B) permits Employer or Participant elections, the Employer (in addition to its election of permissible payment events under Section 4.01) will elect in its Adoption Agreement the permissible: (i) payment timing; (ii) payment form (lump-sum, installments, annuity or other form, including a combination thereof); and (iii) payment medium (cash or property) applicable to Plan Accounts (all of which elections are collectively, payment elections). Until the Plan pays a Participants entire Vested Accrued Benefit, the Plan will continue to credit the Participants Account with Earnings, in accordance with Section 5.02(A) or Section 5.03(B) as applicable. A permissible payment medium election may, but is not required to be, made at the same time as the initial payment election or change payment election, but must be made a reasonable time before any payment date. No election as to payment medium may change the time or form of payment.
Initial Payment Election . The Employer will elect in its Adoption Agreement: (i) whether a Participant or the Employer may make an initial payment election or whether there are no Participant or Employer initial payment elections and the payment events, timing, form and medium are controlled by the Employers Adoption Agreement elections; and (ii) whether any Participant payment election applies to all Account types or only applies to a Participants Elective Deferral Account. A Participant must make any permissible initial payment election on a form the Employer provides for that purpose.
No elections are a Deemed Initial Election . If the Employer elects in its Adoption Agreement not to provide any Participant or Employer initial payment elections, the elected Adoption Agreement and applicable Plan provisions constitute an initial payment election under the Plan.
Timing .
Participant Election . A Participant must make an initial payment election at the time of the Participants Elective Deferral election under Section 2.02(B), or in the absence of such an Elective Deferral election but where the Participant may make an initial payment election as to Employer Contributions, within the same time period as such an Elective Deferral election would be permitted.
Employer Election . The Employer must make an initial payment election as to a Participant at the time that the Employer grants a Legally Binding Right to Deferred Compensation to the Participant, or, if later, by the time that the Participant would have had to make such election, if the Plan had permitted the Participant to make such an election. In the case of a newly eligible Participant or a new Plan described under Section 2.02(B)(2), the Employer must make the initial payment election no later than 30 days after the date the Employee or Contractor becomes a Participant and the pro ration provisions of Section 2.02(B)(2)(c) do not apply to such Employer election.
Future Deferred Compensation and Earnings . A payment election may apply only to the Deferred Compensation that is the subject of the Elective Deferral election or the Employer Contribution or may apply to such Deferred Compensation and to all future Deferred Compensation, as the payment election indicates. A payment election separately may apply to Deferred Compensation and to the Earnings thereon provided that the Plan credits Earnings at least annually.
Limitations on Payment Time and Form; Multiple Payment Events . Except as otherwise provided in this Section 4.02(A)(4), the Plan or a payment election may designate only one time and form of payment for each of the following payment events: Separation from Service, Disability, death or Change in Control.
Disability, Death or Change in Control . In the case of payment in the event of Disability, death or Change in Control, the Plan or payment election may provide for one time and/or method of payment if the event occurs

Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan
Adoption Agreement
on or before one specified date and may provide for an alternative time and form of payment if the event occurs after the specified date.
Separation From Service. In the case of payment in the event of Separation from Service, the Plan or payment election may provide for an alternative time and form of payment where: (i) Separation from Service occurs within a limited period of time not exceeding two years following a Change in Control; (ii) Separation from Service occurs before or after a specified date or Separation occurs before or after the combination of a specified date and a specified period of service determined under a predetermined, nondiscretionary objective formula or pursuant to the method for crediting service under a qualified plan of the Employer (but not both of the options under clause (ii)); and Separation from Service which is not described in clause (i) or (ii). However, neither the Plan nor a payment election may provide for a different time and form of payment based on whether Separation from Service is Voluntary or Involuntary or based on the Participants marital status at the time of Separation from Service.
Unforeseeable Emergency . If the Employer in its Adoption Agreement elects to permit Unforeseeable Emergency as a payment event, a Participant at any time may request payment based on Unforeseeable Emergency by submitting to the Employer a form the Employer provides for this purpose. The Plan will make payment to the Participant within 90 days following the Employers acceptance of the Participants Unforeseeable Emergency payment request. If that 90-day period spans more than one Taxable Year of the Participant, the Participant will not have any discretion over the Taxable Year of payment. See Section 1.51 as to additional requirements relating to an Unforeseeable Emergency payment.
Addition, Change or Deletion of Time and Form . The addition, change, or deletion of an alternative time and form of payment (after the initial payment election has become irrevocable) as permitted under this Section 4.02(A)(4) is a change payment election subject to Section 4.02(B) and is subject to Section 4.02(C).
Time, Form and Medium Default . If the Participant or the Employer as applicable has the right to make an initial payment election but fails to do so, or if the Employer rejects the Participants election under Section 4.06 and the Participant does not make a new timely election the Employer accepts, the Plan will pay the affected Participants Vested Accrued Benefit attributable to the non-election under this default provision, in a lump-sum cash payment 13 months following the earliest event permitting payment of the Participants Account under Section 4.01 (including, if applicable, the default payment events under Section 4.01(B)). If this default provision applies, the default payment is deemed to be an initial payment election under the Plan.
Change Payment Election . The Employer will elect in its Adoption Agreement whether the Employer or a Participant may make a change payment election under this Section 4.02(B). If the Plan permits change elections, the Employer in its Adoption Agreement will elect whether to limit the number of change payment elections. If the Plan permits a Participant or the Employer to change existing payment elections (initial or change payment elections) as to any or all Deferred Compensation, including any Plan specified initial payment election or a default payment applicable in the absence of an actual initial payment election, any such change payment election must comply with this Section 4.02(B). A change payment election may add or delete payment events, may delay payment and/or may change the form of payment, provided the change does not result in an impermissible acceleration under Section 4.02(C). The Employer in its Adoption Agreement will elect whether a Beneficiary following a Participants death may make a change payment election under this Section 4.02(B). A Participants change of Beneficiary is not a change payment election provided that the time and method of payment is not otherwise changed. See Section 4.02(B)(3) as to changes of Beneficiary where the payment method is a life annuity. A Participant or Beneficiary must make any change payment election on a form the Employer provides for such purpose.
Conditions on Change Payment Elections .
Election Timing/Deferral of Payment . Any change payment election: (i) may not take effect until at least 12 months following the date the change payment election is made; (ii) if the change payment election relates to a
© Copyright 2007 SunGard

Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan
Adoption Agreement
payment based on Separation from Service or on Change in Control, or if the payment is at a Specified Time or pursuant to a Fixed Schedule, the change payment election must result in payment being made not earlier than 5 years following the date upon which the payment otherwise would have been made (or, in the case of a life annuity or installment payments treated as a single payment, 5 years from the date the first amount was scheduled to be paid); and (iii) if the change payment election relates to payment at a Specified Time or pursuant to a Fixed Schedule, the Participant or Employer must make the change payment election not less than 12 months prior to the date the payment is scheduled to be made (or, in the case of a life annuity or installment payments treated as a single payment, 12 months prior to the date the first amount was scheduled to be paid).
Application of Other Rules . A change payment election must satisfy the Plan provisions applicable to initial payment elections under Section 4.02(A)(4) related to multiple payment events and Section 4.02(A)(3) regarding scope and Earnings also applies to change payment elections. For purposes of application of Section 4.02(A)(4), Section 4.02(B)(1)(a) applies separately as to each Payment described under Section 4.02(B)(2) and due upon each payment event.
Rejection . If the Employer under Section 4.06 rejects a Participant or Beneficiary change payment election, the Participants initial payment election or deemed initial payment election continues to apply unless and until the Participant makes another change payment election which the Employer accepts.
USERRA Rights . The requirements of Section 4.02(B) are deemed satisfied as to any change payment election which the Plan provides to satisfy the requirements of USERRA. Such elections are not an acceleration under Section 4.02(C).
Definition of Payment. Except as otherwise provided in Section 4.02(B)(3), a payment for purposes of applying Section 4.02(B)(1) is each separately identified amount the Plan is obligated to pay to a Participant on a determinable date and includes amounts paid for the benefit of the Participant. An amount is separately identified only if the amount is objectively determinable under a nondiscretionary formula. A payment includes the provision of any taxable benefit, including payment in cash or in-kind. A payment includes, but is not limited to, the transfer, cancellation or reduction of an amount of Deferred Compensation in exchange for benefits under a welfare benefit plan, fringe benefits excludible under Code §§119 or 132, or any other benefit that is excluded from gross income. In the case of a Specified Time or a Fixed Schedule, payment for purposes of Section 4.02(B)(1) means as further described in Treas. Reg. §1.409A-3(i)(1).
Life Annuities and Installment Payments .
Life Annuities . A life annuity is treated as a single payment. For purposes of this Section 4.02(B)(3), a life annuity is a series of substantially equal periodic payments, payable not less frequently than annually, for the life (or life expectancy) of the Participant, or the joint lives (or life expectancies) of the Participant and of his/her Beneficiary. A change of Beneficiary which occurs before the initial payment of a life annuity is not a change payment election. A change in the form of payment before any annuity payment has been made from one type of life annuity to another with the same scheduled date for the first payment is not subject to the change payment election requirements provided that the annuities are actuarially equivalent applying reasonable actuarial assumptions and that at any given time, the same actuarial assumptions and methods are used to value each annuity. The requirement of actuarial equivalence applies for the duration of the Participants participation in the Plan such that the annuity payment must be actuarially equivalent at all times for the annuity payment options to be treated as a single time and method of payment. The Plan over time may change actuarial assumptions and methods provided such methods and assumptions are reasonable. The following features are disregarded in determining if the payment is a life annuity but are taken into account in determining if one life annuity is the actuarial equivalent of another: (i) term certain features under which payments continue for the longer of the annuitants life or for a fixed period of time; (ii) pop-up features under which payments increase upon the death of the Beneficiary or other event which eliminates the survivor annuity; (iii) cash refund features under which there is a payment on the death of the last annuitant in an amount not greater than the excess

Adoption Agreement
of the present value of the annuity at the annuity starting state over the total payments before the last annuitants death; (iv) a feature under which the annuity provides higher periodic payments before the expected commencement of Social Security or Railroad Retirement Act benefits and lower payments after the expected commencement of such benefits, such the combined payments are approximately level before and after the expected commencement date; and (v) features providing for a cost-of-living increase in the annuity payment in accordance with Treas. Reg. §1.409A-6, Q & A-14(A)(1) or (2). A joint and survivor annuity does not fail to be actuarially equivalent to a single life annuity solely due to the value of a subsidized survivor benefit provided the annual lifetime annuity to the Participant is not greater than the annual lifetime benefit to the Participant under the single life annuity and the annual survivor annuity benefit is not greater than the annual lifetime annuity to the Participant under the joint and survivor annuity.
Installments . The Employer in its Adoption Agreement will elect whether to treat a series of installment payments which are not a life annuity as a single payment or as a series of separate payments. If the Employer fails to so elect, the Employer must treat the installments as a single payment. Any election to treat installments as separate payments applies at all times with respect to the amount deferred. For purposes of this Section 4.02(B)(3), a series of installment payments means payment of a series of substantially equal periodic amounts to be paid over a predetermined number of years, except to the extent that any increase in the payment amounts reflects reasonable Earnings through the date of payment. For this purpose, a series of installment payments over a predetermined period and: (i) a series of installments over a shorter or longer period; and (ii) a series of installments over the same period but with a difference commencement date, are different times and methods of payment and a change in the predetermined period or commencement date is subject to this Section 4.02(B). An installment payment does not fail to be an installment solely because the plan provides for an immediate payment of all remaining installments if the present value of the Deferred Compensation to be paid in the remaining installments falls below a predetermined amount, and the immediate payment in not an acceleration under Section 4.02(C) provided that the payment election establishes this feature, including the predetermined amount triggering immediate payment and that any change to the feature is subject to this Section 4.02(B). If the Plan is a restated Plan, whatever election the Employer makes in it Adoption Agreement on or before December 31, 2007, applies to any period spanning 2005 through 2007, as applicable, unless the Employer indicates otherwise in its election.
Coordination with Anti-Acceleration Rule . The definition of payment in Sections 4.02(B)(2) and (3) also applies to Section 4.02(C). A change payment election may change the form of payment to a more rapid schedule (including a change from installments to a lump-sum payment) without violating Section 4.02(C), provided any such change remains subject to the change payment election provisions under this Section 4.02(B).
Multiple Payment Events . If the Plan permits multiple payment events, the change payment election provisions of Section 4.02(B)(1) apply separately as to each payment due upon each payment event. The addition or deletion of a permissible payment event to Deferred Compensation previously deferred is subject to the change election provisions of Section 4.02(B)(1) where the additional event may cause a change in the time or form of payment. However the addition of death, Disability or Unforeseeable Emergency as an earliest of payment event is not a change payment election and is not an impermissible acceleration under Section 4.02(C).
Domestic Relations Orders . An election, pursuant to or reflected in a domestics relations order under Code §414(p)(1)(B), by someone other than the Participant, as to payments to a person other than the Participant, is not a change payment election subject to this Section 4.02(B).
Certain Payment Delays not Subject to Change Payment Election Rules . The Employer operationally will elect whether to apply the some or all of the following payment delay provisions. The Employer in applying such provisions must treat all payments to similarly situated service providers on a reasonably equivalent basis. If applicable, these provisions do not result in the Plan failing to provide for payment upon a permissible event as Code §409A requires nor are the delays treated as a change payment election under this Section 4.02(B).

Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan
Adoption Agreement
Non-deductible Payment . The Plan may delay payment to a Participant if the Employer reasonably anticipates that the Employers deduction for the scheduled payment of the Participants Deferred Compensation will be barred under Code § 162(m). In such event, the Plan (without any Participant election as to timing) will pay such Deferred Compensation either in the Participants first Taxable Year in which the Employer reasonably anticipates or should reasonably anticipate that Code § 162(m) will not apply or during the period beginning on the date the affected Participant Separates from Service and ending on the later of the last day of the Participants Taxable Year in which the Separation occurs or the 15 th day of the third month following the Separation. If the Employer fails to delay under this Section 4.02(B)(7)(a) all scheduled payments during a Taxable Year which could be so delayed, the Employers delay of any payment is a change payment election subject to this Section 4.02(B). If the Employer delays payment until the Participants Separation from Service, the payment is considered as made based on Separation from Service for purpose of application of Section 4.01(D) and payment to a Specified Employee will be made on the date that is six months after Separation from Service.
Securities or Other Laws . The Plan may delay payment to a Participant if the Employer reasonably anticipates that the payment will violate Federal securities law or other applicable law. The Plan will pay such Deferred Compensation at the earliest date at which the Employer reasonably anticipates that the payment will not cause a violation of such laws. For purposes of this Section 4.02(B)(7)(b), a violation of other applicable law does not include a payment which would cause inclusion of the Deferred Compensation in the Participants gross income or which would subject the Participant to any Code penalty or other Code provision.
Change in Control . The Plan may delay payment to a Participant related to a Change in Control and that occur under the circumstances described in Treas. Reg. 1.409A-3(i)(5)(iv).
Other . The Plan may delay payment to a Participant upon such other events as Applicable Guidance may permit.
(8) Extension of Short-Term Deferral . A Participant who, after the deadline for an initial payment election under Section 4.02(A)(2)(a), makes an election to defer payment of an amount which, but for the election, would be a short-term deferral under Treas. Reg. 1.409A-I (b)(4) and not subject to 409A, makes a change payment election subject to this Section 4.02(B) and in applying Section 4.02(B), the Plan treats the scheduled payment date as the date the Substantial Risk of Forfeiture lapses; provided that a Participant making such an election may provide for payment upon a Change in Control without regard to the 5 year requirement under clause (ii) of Section 4.02(B)(1)(a).
No Acceleration .
General Rule . No person may accelerate the time or schedule of any Plan payment or amount scheduled to be paid under the Plan. For this purpose, the payment of an amount substituted for the Deferred Compensation is a payment of the Deferred Compensation, as provided in Treas. Reg. §1.409A-3(f).
Not an Acceleration . Certain actions as described in Treas. Reg. §§1.409A-3(j)(1), (2), (3), (5) and (6) are not an acceleration including: (i) certain payments made as a result of an intervening payment event and made in accordance with Plan provisions or pursuant to an initial payment election under Section 4.02(A) or a change payment election under Section 4.02(B); (ii) the Employers waiver or acceleration of the satisfaction of any condition constituting a Substantial Risk of Forfeiture provided that payment is made only upon a permissible payment event; (iii) the addition of death, Disability or Unforeseeable Emergency as payment events where such addition results in an earlier payment than would have occurred without the addition of such events (iv) an election to change Beneficiaries (including before the commencement of a life annuity) the if the time and form of payment does not change (except where under a life annuity a change in time of payments results solely from the different life expectancy of the new Beneficiary); (v) a decrease in the Compensation Deferred under the Plan as a result of certain linkage to qualified plans or broad-based

Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan
Adoption Agreement
foreign plans or certain other actions or inactions, including related to Wraparound Elections; or (vi) a change to a cafeteria plan election (under Code § 125(d)) resulting in a change in the Compensation Deferred under this Plan.
Permissible Accelerations/ Including Cash-Out . Notwithstanding Section 4.02(C)(1), the Employer in its sole discretion and without any Participant discretion or election, operationally may elect accelerations of the time or schedule of payment from the Plan in any or all of the circumstances described in Treas. Reg. §§1.409A-3(j)(4)(ii) through (xiv). Such circumstances include, but are not limited to, the mandatory lump-sum payment of the Participants entire Vested Accrued Benefit at any time provided that the Employer evidences its discretion to make such payment in writing no later than the date of payment, the payment results in the termination and liquidation of the Participants interest under the Plan and under all Aggregated Plans, and the payment amount does not exceed the applicable dollar amount under Code §402(g)(1)(B). The Employer in applying this Section 4.02(C)(3) must treat all similarly situated service providers on a reasonably equivalent basis. See Section 6.03 as to Plan termination which also results in a permissible acceleration.
Withholding . The Employer will withhold from any payment made under the Plan and from any amount taxable under Code §409A, all applicable taxes, and any and all other amounts required to be withheld under Applicable Guidance.
Beneficiary Designation . A Participant may designate a Beneficiary (including one or more primary and contingent Beneficiaries) to receive payment of any Vested Accrued Benefit remaining in the Participants Account at death. The Employer will provide each Participant with a form for this purpose and no designation will be effective unless made on that form and delivered to the Employer. A Participant may modify or revoke an existing designation of Beneficiary by executing and delivering a new designation to the Employer. In the absence of a properly designated Beneficiary, the Employer will pay a deceased Participants Vested Accrued Benefit to the Participants surviving spouse and if none, to the Participants then living lineal descendants, by right of representation, and if none, to the Participants estate. If a Beneficiary is a minor or otherwise is a person whom the Employer reasonably determines to be legally incompetent, the Employer may cause the Plan or Trust to pay the Participants Vested Accrued Benefit to a guardian, trustee or other proper legal representative of the Beneficiary. The Plans or Trusts payment of the deceased Participants Vested Accrued Benefit to the Beneficiary or proper legal representative of the Beneficiary completely discharges the Employer, the Plan and Trust of all further obligations under the Plan.
Payments Treated as Made on Payment Date .
Certain Late Payments . The Plans payment of Deferred Compensation is deemed made on the Plan required payment date or payment election required payment date even if the Plan makes payment after such date, provided the payment is made by the latest of: (i) the end of the Taxable Year in which the payment is due; (ii) the 15 `h day of the third calendar month following the payment due date provided that the Participant is not able, directly or indirectly, to designate the Taxable Year of payment; (iii) in case the Employer cannot calculate the payment amount on account of administrative impracticality which is beyond the Participants control (or the control of the Participants Beneficiary), in the first Taxable Year of the Participant in which payment is practicable; (iv) in case the making of the payment on the specified date would jeopardize the Employers ability to continue as a going concern, in the first Taxable Year of the Participant in which the payment would not have such effect. The Employer may cause the Plan or Trust to pay a Participants Vested Accrued Benefit on any date which satisfies this Section 4.05(A) and that is administratively practicable following any Plan specified payment date or the date specified in any valid payment election.
Change in Control . In the case of certain Change in Control events, as described in Treas. Reg. §1.409A-3(i)(5)(iv), certain transaction based compensation paid on the same schedule and on the same terms as apply to shareholders generally with respect the Employers stock or as the payments to the Employer, is treated as paid on the designated payment date. Further, such payments made within 5 years after the Change in Control event are deemed compliant with Sections 4.02(A) and (B).

Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan
Adoption Agreement
Disputed Payments . In the event of a dispute between the Employer and a Participant as to whether Deferred Compensation is payable to the Participant or as to the amount thereof, or any other failure to pay, payment is treated as paid on the designated payment date if such payment is made in accordance with Treas. Reg. §1.409A-3(g).
Early Payments . The Employer also may cause the Plan or Trustee to pay on a date no earlier than 30 days before the specified payment date provided the Participant is not able, directly or indirectly, to designate the Taxable Year of the payment. Such early payments are not an accelerated payment under Section 4.02(C).
Payment Election Requirements . The term payment election, for purposes of this Section 4.06(B) and the Plan generally, means either an initial payment election under Section 4.02(A) or a change payment election under Section 4.02(B).
Compliance with Plan Terms . All initial payment elections and change payment elections must be consistent with the Plan and with the Adoption Agreement.
When Election is Considered Made; Irrevocability .
Participant Elections . A Participants payment election is not considered made for any purpose under the Plan until both: (i) the Employer approves the election; and (ii) the election has become irrevocable. A Participants payment election is always revocable until the Employer accepts the election, which acceptance must occur within the time period described in Section 4.06(C). A Participants payment election becomes irrevocable as the Employer elects in its Adoption Agreement.
Employer Elections . The Employers payment election is not considered made for any purpose under the Plan until the election has become irrevocable. The Employers initial payment election is irrevocable after the last permissible date for making the election under Section 4.02(A)(2)(b). The Employers change payment election relating to payment at a Specified Time or pursuant to a Fixed Schedule is irrevocable after the last permissible date for making the election under Section 4.02(B)(1)(a). The Employers change payment election relating to payment based on any other payment event (not a Specified Time or Fixed Schedule) remains revocable for 30 days following the Employers execution of the change payment election.
Effect of Changes While Election is Revocable . Any change made to a payment election while the election remains revocable is not a change payment election, either for purposes of Section 4.02(B)(1)(a) timing rules or in applying any Plan limit on the number of change payment elections a Participant may make as to any amount of Deferred Compensation. Any modification to a payment election after the election has become irrevocable is a change payment election (if made with respect to an initial payment election) or is a new change payment election (if made with respect to a change payment election).
Continuing Elections . If an initial payment election is continuing under Section 4.02(A)(3), such that it applies to Compensation Deferred in one or more Taxable Years beginning after the first Taxable Year to which the payment election applies, the payment election is revocable as to such future Taxable Years until the last permissible date under Section 402(A)(2)(b) for making the election with regard to such future Taxable Year or Years.
Employer Approval of Participant and Beneficiary Elections . The Employer expressly and in writing must approve any Participant or Beneficiary payment election as to timing, form and medium, even if the Plan and Adoption Agreement permit such election. The Employer, in its absolute discretion, may withhold approval for any reason, including, but not limited to, non-compliance with Plan terms. However, the Employer must approve or reject any such election within the time period during which the Participant or Beneficiary would have had to make the election. If the Employer does not so approve or reject a payment election, the election is deemed rejected within such time period. With regard to initial payment elections, unless the Participant subsequently makes a timely initial payment election the

Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan
Adoption Agreement
Employer accepts, the Employer will pay the Participants Vested Accrued Benefit under the payment event, timing, form and medium default provisions of Sections 4.01(B) and 4.02(A)(5).
Preservation of Pre-2008 Payment Elections . If the Plan is a restatement of a Plan which was in effect before January 1, 2008, as to pre-2008 Deferred Compensation (and Earnings thereon) which is a 409A Amount, the Plan preserves any 409A permissible payment elections under the Plan which elections are not available under the Plan as to Compensation Deferred after 2007, subject to any change payment election made as to such pre-2008 Deferred Compensation.
Trust Election and Plan Earnings
Unfunded Plan . The Employer as it elects in its Adoption Agreement intends this Plan to be an unfunded plan that is wholly or partially exempt under ERISA. No Participant, Beneficiary or successor thereto has any legal or equitable right, interest or claim to any property or assets of the Employer, including assets held in any Account under the Plan except as the Plan otherwise permits. The Employers obligation to pay Plan benefits is an unsecured promise to pay. Any assets held in Plan Accounts remain subject to claims of the Employers general creditors and no Participants or Beneficiarys claim to Plan assets has any priority over any general unsecured creditor of the Employer. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or Trust, all Plan assets, including all incidents of ownership thereto, at all times will be the sole property of the Employer.
No Trust . Except as provided in its Adoption Agreement, this Plan does not create a trust for the benefit of any Participant. If the Employer does not establish the Trust: (i) the Employer may elect to make notional contributions in lieu of actual contributions to the Plan; and (ii) the Employer may elect not to invest any actual Plan contributions. If the Employer elects to invest any actual Plan contributions, such investments may be held for the Employers benefit in providing for the Employers obligations under the Plan or for such other purposes as the Employer may determine.
Earnings . If the Employer does not establish the Trust, the Employer will elect in its Adoption Agreement whether the Plan periodically will credit actual or notional Plan contributions with a determinable amount of notional Earnings (at a specified fixed or floating interest rate or other specified index) or will credit or charge each Participants Account with the Earnings actually incurred by the Account.
Investment Direction . If the Account is credited and charged with actual Earnings, the Employer will specify in the Adoption Agreement whether the Employer or the Participant has the right to direct the investment of the Participants Account and also may specify any limitations on the Participants right of investment direction. If the Adoption Agreement provides for Employer investment direction, the Employer may make any investment of Plan assets it deems reasonable or appropriate. If the Adoption Agreement provides for Participant investment direction, this right is limited strictly to investment direction and the Participant will not be entitled to the distribution of any Account asset except as the Plan otherwise permits.
Trust . If the Employer elects in its Adoption Agreement to create the Trust, the applicable provisions of the Basic Plan Document continue to apply, including those of Section 5.01. The Trustee will pay Plan benefits in accordance with the Plan terms or upon the Employers direction consistent with Plan terms.
Restriction on Trust Assets . If an Employer establishes, directly or indirectly, the Trust (or any other arrangement Applicable Guidance may describe), the Trust and the Trust assets must be and must remain located within the United States, except with respect to a Participant who performs outside the United States substantially all services giving rise to the Deferred Compensation. The Trust may not contain any provision limiting the Trust assets to the payment of Plan benefits upon a Change in the Employers Financial Health, even if the assets remain subject to claims of the Employers general creditors. For this purpose, the Employer, upon a Change in the Employers Financial Health, may not transfer Deferred Compensation to the Trust. The Employer (and any member of a controlled group which includes the Employer) during the restricted period also may not transfer Deferred Compensation to the Trust and the

Adoption Agreement
Trust may not be restricted to payment of Plan benefits, to the extent that such transfer or restriction would violate the at-risk limitation of Code §409A(b)(3). Any Trust the Employer establishes under this Plan shall be further subject to Applicable Guidance, compliance with which is necessary to avoid the transfer of assets to the Trust being treated as a transfer of property under Code §83.
Trust Earnings and Investment . If the Employer establishes the Trust, the Trust earnings provisions apply to all Plan contributions and constitute Earnings for purposes of the Plan. The Trustee will invest the assets held in the Trust in accordance with the Trust terms but are not subject to Participant direction of investment.
Miscellaneous
No Assignment . No Participant or Beneficiary has the right to anticipate, alienate, assign, pledge, encumber, sell, transfer, mortgage or otherwise in any manner convey in advance of actual receipt, the Participants Account. Prior to actual payment, a Participants Account is not subject to the debts, judgments or other obligations of the Participant or Beneficiary and is not subject to attachment, seizure, garnishment or other process applicable to the Participant or Beneficiary.
Not Employment Contract . This Plan is not a contract for employment between the Employer and any Employee who is a Participant. This Plan does not entitle any Participant to continued employment with the Employer, and benefits under the Plan are limited to payment of a Participants Vested Accrued Benefit in accordance with the terms of the Plan.
Amendment and Termination .
Amendment . The Employer reserves the right to amend the Plan at any time to comply with Code §409A, Treas. Reg. §1.409A and other Applicable Guidance or for any other purpose, provided that such amendment will not result in taxation to any Participant under Code §409A. Except as the Plan and Applicable Guidance otherwise may require, the Employer may make any such amendments effective immediately.
Termination . The Employer may terminate, but is not required to terminate and liquidate the Plan which includes the distribution of all Plan Accounts under the following circumstances:
Dissolution/Bankruptcy . The Employer may terminate and liquidate the Plan within 12 months following a dissolution of a corporate Employer taxable under Code §331 or with approval of a Bankruptcy court under 11 U.S.C. §503(b)(l)(A), provided that the Deferred Compensation is paid to the Participants and is included in the Participants gross income in the latest of (or, if earlier, the Taxable Year in which the amount is actually or constructively received): (i) the calendar year in which the plan termination and liquidation occurs; (ii) the first calendar year in which the amounts no longer are subject to a Substantial Risk of Forfeiture; or (iii) the first calendar year in which the payment is administratively practicable.
Change in Control . The Employer may terminate and liquidate the Plan by irrevocable action taken within the 30 days preceding or the 12 months following a Change in Control, provided the Employer distributes all Plan Accounts (and must distribute the accounts under any Aggregated Plans which plan the Employer also must terminate and liquidate as to each Participant who has experienced the Change in Control) within 12 months following the date of Employers irrevocable action to terminate and liquidate the Plan and Aggregated Plans. Where the Change in Control results from an asset purchase transaction, the Employer with discretion to terminate and liquidate the Plan is the Employer that is primarily liable after the transaction to pay the Deferred Compensation.
Other . The Employer may terminate the Plan for any other reason in the Employers discretion provided that: (i) the termination and liquidation does not occur proximate to a downturn in the Employers financial health; (ii) the Employer also terminates all Aggregated Plans in which any Participant also is a participant; (ii) the Plan makes no payments in the 12 months following the date of Employers irrevocable action to terminate and liquidate the Plan other

Adoption Agreement
than payments the Plan would have made irrespective of Plan termination; (iii) the Plan makes all payments within 24 months following the date of Employers irrevocable action to terminate and liquidate the Plan; and (iv) the Employer within 3 years following the date of Employers irrevocable action to terminate and liquidate the Plan does not adopt a new plan covering any Participant that would be an Aggregated Plan.
Applicable Guidance . The Employer may terminate and liquidate the Plan under such other circumstances as Applicable Guidance may permit.
Effect on Vesting . Any Plan amendment or termination will not reduce the Vested Accrued Benefit held in any Participant Account at the date of the amendment or termination and will not accelerate vesting except as the Employer may expressly provide for in connection with the amendment or termination, provided that any such vesting acceleration does not subject any Participant to taxation under Code §409A.
Cessation of Future Contributions . The Employer in its Adoption Agreement may elect at any time to amend the Plan to cease future Elective Deferrals, Nonelective Contributions or Matching Contributions as of a specified date. In such event, the Plan remains in effect (except those provisions permitting the frozen contribution type) until all Accounts are paid in accordance with the Plan terms, or, if earlier, upon the Employers termination of the Plan.
Fair Construction . The Employer, Participants and Beneficiaries intend that this Plan in form and in operation comply with Code 409A, the regulations thereunder, and all other present and future Applicable Guidance. The Employer and any other party with authority to interpret or administer the Plan will interpret the Plan terms in a manner which is consistent with Applicable Law. However, as required under Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(c)(1), the interpretation of the Plan does not permit the deletion of material terms which are expressly contrary to Code §409A and the regulations thereunder and also does not permit the addition of missing terms necessary to comply therewith. Such deletions or additions may be accomplished only be means of a Plan amendment under Section 6.03(A). Any Participant, Beneficiary or Employer permitted Elective Deferral election, initial payment election, change payment election or any other Plan permitted election, notice or designation which is not compliant with Applicable Law is not an election or other action under the Plan and has no effect whatsoever. In the event that a Participant, Beneficiary or the Employer fail to make an election or fail to make a compliant election, the Employer will apply the Plans default terms under Sections 4.01(B) and 4.02(A)(5).
Notice and Elections . Any notice given or election made under the Plan must be in writing and must be delivered or mailed by certified mail, to the Employer, the Trustee or to the Participant or Beneficiary as appropriate. The Employer will prescribe the form of any Plan notice or election to be given to or made by Participants. Any notice or election will be deemed given or made as of the date of delivery, or if given or made by certified mail, as of 3 business days after mailing.
Administration . The Employer will administer and interpret the Plan, including making a determination of the Vested Accrued Benefit due any Participant or Beneficiary under the Plan. As a condition of receiving any Plan benefit to which a Participant or Beneficiary otherwise may be entitled, a Participant or Beneficiary will provide such information and will perform such other acts as the Employer reasonably may request. The Employer may cause the Plan to forfeit any or all of a Participants Vested Accrued Benefit, if the Participant fails to cooperate reasonably with the Employer in the administration of the Participants Plan Account, provided that this provision does not apply to a bona fide dispute under Section 4.05(A)(2). The Employer may retain agents to assist in the administration of the Plan and may delegate to agents such duties as it sees fit. The decision of the Employer or its designee concerning the administration of the Plan is final and is binding upon all persons having any interest in the Plan. The Employer will indemnify, defend and hold harmless any Employee designated by the Employer to assist in the administration of the Plan from any and all loss, damage, claims, expense or liability with respect to this Plan (collectively, claims) except claims arising from the intentional acts or gross negligence of the Employee.

Adoption Agreement
Account Statements . The Employer from time to time will provide each Participant with a statement of the Participants Vested Accrued Benefit as of the most recent Valuation Date. The Employer also will provide Account statements to any Beneficiary of a deceased Participant with a Vested Accrued Benefit remaining in the Plan. Any such statements are for information purposes only prior to an actual Plan payment, are subject to adjustment or correction, and are not binding upon the Employer.
Accounting . The Employer will maintain for each Participant as is necessary for proper administration of the Plan, an Elective Deferral Account, a Matching Contribution Account, a Nonelective Contribution Account, and separate sub-accounts reflecting 409A Amounts and Grandfathered Amounts in accordance with Section 7.03.
Costs and Expenses . Investment charges which will be borne by the Account to which they pertain. The Employer will pay the other costs, expenses and fees associated with the operation of the Plan, excluding those incurred by Participants or Beneficiaries. The Employer will pay costs, expenses or fees charged by or incurred by the Trustee only as provided in the Trust or other agreement between the Employer and the Trustee.
Reporting . The Employer will report Deferred Compensation for Employee Participants on Form W-2 for and on Form 1099-MISC for Contractor Participants in accordance with Applicable Guidance.
ERISA Claims Procedure . If this Plan is established as a top-hat plan within the meaning of DOL Reg. §2520.104-23, the following claims procedure under DOL Reg. §2560.503-1 applies. For purposes of the Plans claims procedure under this Section 6.11, the Plan Administrator means the Employer. A Participant or Beneficiary may file with the Plan Administrator a written claim for benefits, if the Participant or Beneficiary disputes the Plan Administrators determination regarding the Participants or Beneficiarys Plan benefit. However, the Plan Administrator will cause the Plan to pay only such benefits as the Plan Administrator in its discretion determines a Participant or Beneficiary is entitled to receive. The Plan Administrator under this Section 6.11 will provide a separate written document to affected Participants and Beneficiaries which explains the Plans claims procedure and which by this reference is incorporated into the Plan. If the Plan Administrator makes a final written determination denying a Participants or Beneficiarys claim, the Participant or Beneficiary must file an action with respect to the denied claim within 180 days following the date of the Plan Administrators final determination.
409A Amounts and Grandfathered Amounts
409A Amounts . The terms of this Plan control as to any 409A Amount.
Grandfathered Amounts . A Grandfathered Amount remains subject to the terms of the Plan as in effect before January 1, 2005, unless the Employer makes a material modification to the Plan as described in Treas. Reg. §1.409A-6(a)(4).
Separate Accounting/Earnings . The Employer will account separately for 409A Amounts and for Grandfathered Amounts within each Participants Account. The Employer also will account separately for Earnings on the 409A Amounts and Earnings on the Grandfathered Amounts. Post-2004 Earnings on Grandfathered Amounts are included in the Grand fathered Amount.
