THE ETHAN ALLEN RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN

(As Amended and Restated Effective January 1, 2006)

SECTION 1

General

1.1 History, Purpose and Effective Date. Effective as of September 28, 1958, Ethan Allen Retail Inc. (formerly known as Ethan Allen Inc., the “Company”), established the Profit Sharing and Stock Bonus Plan of Ethan Allen Inc. (the “Profit Sharing Plan”) so that it, and each Related Company (as defined in subsection 1.2) which, with the consent of the Company, adopted the Profit Sharing Plan could assist their eligible employees in providing for their future security. The Profit Sharing Plan was amended from time to time and was first renamed the Profit Sharing Plan of Ethan Allen Inc. and then the Retirement Program of Ethan Allen Inc. effective as of, respectively, February 28, 1983 and July 1, 1989. Effective June 29, 1989, the Company established a second plan, the Ethan Allen 401(k) Employee Savings Plan (the “401(k) Plan”). The Profit Sharing Plan and the 401(k) were merged effective as of July 1, 1994 and, effective as of January 1, 1999, the merged plan was renamed “The Ethan Allen Retirement Savings Plan” (the “Plan”). Effective as of December 31, 2000, the Carriage House 401(k) Plan was merged into the Plan and, effective as of September 1, 2006, the Mirons 401(k) Plan was merged into the Plan. The following provisions constitute an amendment, restatement and continuation of the Plan as in effect immediately prior to January 1, 2006, the “Effective Date” of the Plan as set forth herein. The Plan is intended to qualify as a profit sharing plan under section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). From and after the Effective Date, Ethan Allen Global, Inc. shall be the sponsor of the Plan and shall be substituted for Ethan Allen Inc. as the “Company” hereunder.

1.2 Related Companies and Employers. The term “Related Company” means any corporation or trade or business during any period during which it is, along with the Company, a member of a controlled group of corporations or a controlled group of trades or businesses, as described in sections 414(b) and 414(c), respectively, of the Code. The Company and each Related Company which, with the Company’s consent, adopts the Plan are referred to below collectively as the “Employers” and individually as an “Employer”. Ethan Allen Global, Inc. became an “Employer” under the Plan effective July 1, 2005. Each company that is an Employer under the Plan as of the Effective Date is set forth in Appendix B hereto.

1.3 Trust Agreements, Plan Administration. All contributions made under the Plan will continue to be held, managed and controlled by one or more trustees (the “Trustee”) acting under one or more Trusts which form a part of the Plan. The terms of the Trust as in effect on the Effective Date are set forth in one or more Trust Agreements. The authority to control and manage the operation and administration of the Plan is vested in a Committee as described in subsection 12.1. The members of the Committee shall be “named fiduciaries”, as described in section 402 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), with respect to their authority under the Plan. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, the Committee shall be the Administrator of the Plan and shall have the rights, duties and

obligations of an “administrator” as that term is defined in section 3(16)(A) of ERISA and of a “plan administrator” as that term is defined in section 414(g) of the Code.

1.4 Plan Year. The term “Plan Year” means the calendar year.

1.5 Accounting Dates. The term “Accounting Date” means each business day.

1.6 Applicable Laws. The Plan shall be construed and administered in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Connecticut to the extent that such laws are not preempted by the laws of the United States of America.

1.7 Gender and Number. Where the context admits, words in any gender shall include any other gender, words in the singular shall include the plural, and the plural shall include the singular.

1.8 Notices. Any notice or document required to be filed with the Committee under the Plan will be properly filed if delivered or mailed by registered mail, postage prepaid, to the Committee, in care of the Company, at its principal executive offices. Any notice required under the Plan may be waived by the person entitled to notice.

1.9 Form and Time of Elections. Unless otherwise specified herein, each election permitted to be made by any Participant or other person entitled to benefits under the Plan, and any permitted modification or revocation thereof, shall be in writing filed with the Committee at such times and in such form as the Committee shall require.

1.10 Evidence. Evidence required of anyone under the Plan may be by certificate, affidavit, document or other information which the person acting on it considers pertinent and reliable, and signed, made or presented by the proper party or parties.

1.11 Action by Employers. Any action required or permitted to be taken by any Employer which is a corporation shall be by resolution of its Board of Directors, by resolution of a duly authorized committee of its Board of Directors, or by a person or persons authorized by the Board of Directors or such committee.

1.12 No Reversion to Employers. No part of the corpus or income of the Trust shall revert to any Employer or be used for, or diverted to, purposes other than for the exclusive benefit of Participants and other persons entitled to benefits under the Plan, except as specifically provided in the applicable Trust Agreement.

1.13 Plan Supplements. The provisions of the Plan as applied to any Employer or any group of employees of any Employer may, with the consent of the Company, be modified or supplemented from time to time by the adoption of one or more Supplements. Each Supplement shall form a part of the Plan as of the Supplement’s effective date. In the event of any inconsistency between a Supplement and the Plan document, the terms of the Supplement shall govern.

1.14 Defined Terms. Terms used frequently with the same meaning are indicated by initial capital letters, and are defined throughout the Plan. Appendix A contains an alphabetical listing of such terms and the subsections in which they are defined.

SECTION 2

Participation in Plan

2.1 Eligibility for Participation. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, each individual who was a Participant in the Plan immediately prior to the Effective Date will continue to be a Participant in the Plan from and after the Effective Date. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, each employee of an Employer who was not a Participant in the Plan immediately prior to the Effective Date will become a “Participant” in the Plan on the Effective Date or on the first day of any subsequent April, July, October or January coincident with or next following the three-month anniversary of his date of hire (an “Entry Date”) if he then meets the following requirements:

(a)

he has completed at least three months of Service (as defined in Section 3) since his date of hire; and

(b)

he is not a member of a collective bargaining unit as to which retirement benefits have been the subject of good faith bargaining unless the Plan has been extended to the collective bargaining unit under a currently effective collective bargaining agreement; and

(c)

he is not a nonresident alien and he receives earned income (within the meaning of section 911(d)(2) of the Code) from an Employer which constitutes income from sources within the United States (within the meaning of section 861(a)(3) of the Code).

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this subsection, if an individual is reemployed by an Employer on or after the first day of the calendar quarter coincident with or next following the date on which he first meets the requirements of paragraph (a) next above, he shall become a Participant in the Plan immediately upon meeting the requirements of paragraphs (b) and (c) next above. Except as otherwise specifically provided in Section 2.4, no benefits shall be provided or service credited under the Plan on a retroactive basis to any person who has performed services for an Employer or Related Company as an independent contractor or as a Leased Employee, even if such person subsequently becomes a common law employee of an Employer or Related Company (or is deemed by a government agency, court or other third party to have been a common law employee of an Employer or Related Company).

2.2 Inactive Participation. Once an eligible employee becomes a Participant in the Plan, he will remain a Participant for all purposes under the Plan, except the contribution provisions of Sections 4 and 5 and the withdrawal and loan provisions of Section 10, as long as he continues to have an Account balance under the Plan.

2.3 Plan Not Contract of Employment. The Plan does not constitute a contract of employment, and participation in the Plan will not give any employee or Participant the right to be retained in the employ of any Employer nor any right or claim to any benefit under the Plan, unless such right or claim has specifically accrued under the terms of the Plan.

2.4 Leased Employees. If, pursuant to one or more agreements between an Employer or Related Company and one or more leasing organizations (within the meaning of section 414(n) of the Code), a person provides services to the Employer or Related Company, in a capacity other than as an employee, on a substantially full-time basis for a period of at least one year and such services are performed under the primary direction or control of an Employer or Related Company, such person shall be a “Leased Employee”. Leased Employees shall not be eligible to participate in this Plan or in any other plan maintained by the Employer or Related Company which is qualified under section 401(a) of the Code. A Leased Employee shall be treated as if the services performed by him in such capacity (including service performed during such initial one-year period) were performed by him as an employee of a Related Company which has not adopted the Plan; provided, however, that no such service shall be credited:

(a)

for any period during which fewer than 20 percent of the workforce of the Employers and the Related Companies that is not Highly Compensated (as defined in section 414(q) of the Code) consists of Leased Employees and the Leased Employee is a Participant in a money purchase pension plan maintained by the leasing organization which (i) provides for a nonintegrated employer contribution of at least 10 percent of compensation, (ii) provides for full and immediate vesting, and (iii) covers all employees of the leasing organization (beginning with the date they become employees), other than those employees excluded under section 414(n)(5) of the Code; or

(b)

for any other period unless the Leased Employee provides satisfactory evidence to the Employer or Related Company that he meets all of the conditions of this subsection 2.4 and applicable law required for treatment as a Leased Employee.

2.5 Compliance with Veterans’ Laws. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan to the contrary, contributions, benefits and service credit with respect to qualified military service will be provided in accordance with section 414(u) of the Code.

SECTION 3

Service

3.1 Service. The term “Service” means, with respect to any employee or Participant, the number of full months elapsed since the first date for which he was paid, or entitled to payment, for the performance of duties for an Employer or a Related Company, subject to the following:

(a)

If an employee’s or Participant’s employment with the Employer and the Related Companies terminates and he incurs a One Year Break in Service (as defined below), he shall not be credited with Service for the period between the date his employment terminates and the date, if any, of his reemployment by an Employer or a Related Company.

(b)

The service of each employee of an Employer who performed services for a prior authorized Ethan Allen Dealer shall be taken into account with respect to the employee for purposes of the Plan, up to a maximum of three months of Service.

3.2 One Year Break in Service. Except with respect to an individual whose absence from employment constitutes a Maternity or Paternity Absence (as defined below), the term “One Year Break in Service” means the 12-consecutive-month period commencing on an employee’s Termination Date (as defined in subsection 9.2) if he is not paid or entitled to payment for the performance of duties for the Company or a Related Company during that period. With respect to an individual whose absence from employment constitutes a Maternity or Paternity Absence, the term “One Year Break in Service” means the 12-consecutive-month period commencing on the second anniversary of the date such individual’s Maternity or Paternity Absence began if he is not paid or entitled to payment for the performance of duties for the Company or a Related Company during that period. The term “Maternity or Paternity Absence” means an employee’s absence from work on account of the pregnancy of such individual, the birth of a child of such individual, the placement of a child with such individual in connection with the adoption of a child by such individual, or for purposes of caring for the child by such individual immediately following such birth or placement. The Committee may require the employee to furnish such information as it considers necessary to establish that such individual’s absence was a Maternity or Paternity Absence.

SECTION 4

Before-Tax, After-Tax and Rollover Contributions

4.1 Before-Tax Contributions. Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8, a Participant may elect to have his Eligible Compensation (as defined in subsection 4.7) reduced by one to 100 percent, in whole percent increments, and a corresponding amount contributed on his behalf by his Employer as a “Before-Tax Contribution” to the Plan; provided, however, certain Participants that are so designated by the Committee shall be deemed to have elected to make a Before-Tax Contribution, beginning on the Participant’s Entry Date, in an amount equal to two percent of the Participant’s Eligible Compensation until the Participant elects to change such deemed election in accordance with subsection 4.5 of the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Participant granted a withdrawal on account of Financial Hardship (as defined in subsection 10.2) may be ineligible to elect Before-Tax Contributions for a period of time, as determined by the Committee under reasonable rules and regulations, from one to four calendar quarters beginning with the calendar quarter in which the Financial Hardship withdrawal is made.

4.2 After-Tax Contributions. Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8, for any Plan Year, a Participant may elect to make “After-Tax Contributions” to the Plan through payroll deduction in an amount that is not less than one percent and not more than 100 percent (in whole percent increments) of his Eligible Compensation.

4.3 Catch-Up Contributions. Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8, all employees who are eligible to make Before-Tax Contributions under this Plan and who have attained age 50 before the close of the Plan Year shall be eligible to make “Catch-Up Contributions” in accordance with, and subject to the limitations of, section 414(v) of the Code. Such Catch-Up Contributions shall not be taken into account for purposes of the provisions of the Plan implementing the required limitations of sections 402(g) and 415 of the Code. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Plan shall not be treated as failing to satisfy the provisions of the Plan implementing the requirements of section 401(k)(3), 401(k)(11), 401(k)(12), 410(b), or 416 of the Code, as applicable, by reason of the making of such Catch-Up Contributions.

4.4 Payment of Before-Tax and After-Tax Contributions. Before-Tax, After-Tax, and Catch-Up contributions shall be paid to the Trustee by an Employer on the earliest date on which such contributions can reasonably be segregated from the Employer’s general assets, but no later than the 15th business day of the month following the month such amounts would otherwise have been payable to the Participant or such other date permitted by law.

4.5 Variation, Discontinuance and Resumption of Before-Tax, After-Tax, or Catch-Up Contributions. Subject to such rules as the Committee may establish and the limitations of subsections 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3, a Participant may elect to change the rate of his Before-Tax, After-Tax or Catch-Up Contributions, suspend any or all such contributions or resume any or all such contributions. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this subsection 4.5, no change to, suspension or resumption of contributions shall be applied retroactively and all changes to

elections (including suspensions of contributions) shall be effective as soon as administratively feasible after the date elected by the Participant.

4.6 Rollover Contributions and Transferred Amounts. A Participant or employee who meets the requirements of subsection 2.1 of the Plan, other than paragraph (a) thereof, may, in accordance with procedures approved by the Committee, make a Rollover Contribution (as defined below) to the Trustee of the Plan. The term “Rollover Contribution” means:

(a)

a cash contribution to the Plan by the Participant of amounts distributed from an eligible plan (as defined below) or distributed from an individual retirement account and constituting a “rollover contribution” as described in section 408(d)(3) of the Code and made within 60 days of receipt of such amount; or

(b)

a payment made to the Plan by another qualified plan described in section 401(a) of the Code as a direct rollover (as contemplated by section 401(a)(31) of the Code) on behalf of and at the direction of the Participant, which payment shall be in cash; provided, however, that to the extent and under such circumstances as approved by the Committee, such payment may be made in assets other than cash, including, but not limited to, promissory notes evidencing outstanding loans to the Participant or employee under the other qualified plan,

provided, in either case, such distributed or directly rolled over amounts are permitted to be rolled over to a qualified plan under the applicable provisions of the Code as then in effect. For purposes of this subsection 4.6, an “eligible plan” shall mean a qualified plan described in section 401(a) or 403(a) of the Code, an annuity contract described in section 403(b) of the Code, an eligible plan under section 457(b) of the Code which is maintained by a state, political subdivision of a state, or any agency or instrumentality of a state or political subdivision of a state, or an individual retirement account or annuity described in section 408(a) or 408(b) of the Code. The Committee may request from the Participant such documents as it considers necessary or desirable to establish that the Rollover Contribution satisfies the foregoing requirements. In addition, a plan qualified under section 401(a) of the Code and holding amounts for the benefit of a Participant or an employee may, with such individual’s consent and the consent of the Committee, transfer such amounts to the Plan, but only if such amounts are not subject to the provisions of section 401(a)(11) or 411(d)(6) of the Code and the Committee may consent to the transfer of assets and liabilities from another plan qualified under section 401(a) or to the merger of another qualified plan into the Plan. If an employee who is not otherwise a Participant makes a Rollover Contribution to the Plan or has amounts transferred to the Plan on his behalf (including as the result of a plan merger), he shall be treated as a Participant only with respect to the amounts so contributed or transferred until he has met the requirements for Plan participation set forth in subsection 2.1.

4.7 Eligible Compensation. For purposes of the Plan, a Participant’s “Eligible Compensation” shall mean his basic salary plus overtime and bonuses for the portion of the Plan Year during which he is eligible to participate in the Plan, determined prior to any election to reduce his Eligible Compensation as described in subsection 4.1 or 4.3 or under a plan defined in section 125 or 132(f)(4) of the Code, provided that a Participant’s Eligible Compensation shall not exceed the maximum level permitted for a Plan Year under section 401(a)(17) of the Code,

taking into account for purposes of such limitation any proration required under applicable Treasury regulations on account of a short Plan Year.

SECTION 5

Employer Contributions

5.1 Company Profit Sharing Contributions. Subject to the conditions and limitations of Section 8, the Company shall make a “Company Profit Sharing Contribution” for a Plan Year in the amount, if any, determined by the Company in its sole discretion. Any such contribution shall be allocated to Participants’ Accounts (as defined in subsection 7.1) in accordance with the provisions of subsection 7.3. Each other Employer shall make a Company Profit Sharing Contribution for the same Plan Year on behalf of each Participant entitled to an allocation in accordance with subsection 7.3 in an amount that equals the same percentage of Eligible Compensation as the contribution made by the Company.

5.2 Company Match Contributions. Subject to the conditions and limitations of Section 8, each Employer shall make a “Company Match Contribution” for a Plan Year in the amount, if any, determined by the Company in its sole discretion, on behalf of each Participant employed by such Employer who makes Before-Tax Contributions in such year; provided, however, in no event shall the Company Match Contribution exceed 100 percent of such Participant’s Before-Tax Contributions (or such other percentage as determined by the Company) up to a maximum Company Match Contribution of $1,300 per Participant (or such other amount as determined by the Company) per Plan Year and in no event shall Company Match Contributions be made with respect to Catch-Up Contributions.

5.3 Limitations on Amount of Employer Contributions. In no event shall the sum of the Company Profit Sharing Contribution and the Company Match Contribution made by an Employer for any Plan Year exceed the limitations imposed by section 404 of the Code on the maximum amount deductible on account thereof by that Employer for that year.

5.4 Payment of Employer Contributions. Each Employer’s Company Profit Sharing and Company Match Contributions under the Plan for any Plan Year shall be paid to the Trustee, without interest, no later than the time prescribed by law for filing the Employer’s federal income tax return, including any extensions thereof.

SECTION 6

Investment Elections

6.1 Investment of Contributions. Each Participant may elect to have the Before-Tax, After-Tax, Catch-Up, Rollover, Company Match and Company Profit Sharing Contributions made on that Member’s behalf invested, in whole percent increments, in any one or more of the investment funds which are from time to time selected by the Committee and made available to Participants for investment of their Accounts, including a “Company Stock Fund” which shall be invested solely in the common stock of the Company’s parent, Ethan Allen Interiors, Inc. (“Company Stock”) and a “Loan Fund” which shall consist only of promissory notes evidencing loans made to Participants in accordance with the provisions of subsection 10.3, provided, however, the Before-Tax Contribution of Participants who are deemed to have elected Before-Tax Contributions under subsection 4.1 of the Plan will be invested in a fund designated by the Committee until the Participant elects otherwise in accordance with subsection 6.3 of the Plan.

6.2 Investment Transfers. Each Participant may elect as of any Accounting Date, according to rules established by the Committee, to have the assets in a particular investment fund transferred, in whole percent increments, to any one or more other investment fund or funds in a manner such that the Participant determines the ultimate percentage of assets to be held by each investment fund.

6.3 Investment Elections. Each Participant may make the elections described in subsection 6.1 or 6.2 by filing an election form with the Committee (or its designee) upon becoming a Participant. Such elections may be changed to be effective each Accounting Date according to rules established by the Committee; provided, however, that a Participant’s investment elections shall apply with respect to both investment of future contributions and the Participant’s current Accounts. During any period in which no election has been made, contributions credited to a Participant shall be invested in the investment funds as determined by the Committee.

6.4 Transfer of Assets. The Committee shall direct the Trustee to transfer monies or other property from the appropriate investment fund to the other investment fund as may be necessary to carry out the aggregate transfer transactions after the Committee has caused the necessary entries to be made in the Participants’ Accounts in the investment funds and has reconciled offsetting transfer elections, in accordance with uniform rules therefor established by the Committee. In the event of a transfer of assets and liabilities from another qualified plan to the Plan (including as a result of plan-to-plan transfers or a plan merger), the Committee shall direct the Trustee as to the investment of assets to be transferred to the Plan.

SECTION 7

Plan Accounting

7.1 Participants’ Accounts. The Committee shall maintain (or cause to be maintained) the following “Accounts” in the name of each Participant:

(a)

a “Before-Tax Contributions Account”, which shall reflect Before-Tax Contributions and Catch-Up Contributions, if any, made on his behalf and the income, losses, appreciation and depreciation attributable thereto;

(b)

an “After-Tax Contributions Account”, which shall reflect After-Tax Contributions, if any, made on his behalf and the income, losses, appreciation and depreciation attributable thereto;

(c)

a “Company Match Contributions Account”, which shall reflect Company Match Contributions, if any, made on his behalf and the income, losses, appreciation and depreciation attributable thereto;

(d)

a “Company Profit Sharing Contributions Account”, which shall reflect Company Profit Sharing Contributions, if any, allocated to him in accordance with subsection 7.3, and the income, losses, appreciation and depreciation attributable thereto; and

(e)

a “Rollover Contributions Account”, which shall reflect Rollover Contributions, if any, made by him, the income, losses, appreciation and depreciation attributable thereto and the portion of any Rollover Contributions which are attributable to after-tax employee contributions.

The Accounts provided for in this subsection shall be for accounting purposes only, and there shall be no segregation of assets within the investment funds among the separate Accounts. Reference to the “balance” in a Participant’s Accounts means the aggregate of the balances in the subaccounts maintained in the investment funds attributable to the Accounts. In the case of a transfer of assets and liabilities from another qualified plan to the Plan (including as a result of plan-to-plan transfers or a plan merger), the transferred assets shall be allocated to Participants’ Accounts as directed by the Committee.

7.2 Adjustment of Accounts. As of each Accounting Date occurring prior to or coincident with his Distribution Date (as described in subsection 11.1), a Participant’s Accounts shall be adjusted in the following manner and order:

(a)

first, there shall be charged to the proper subaccount for each Account of each Participant under each of the investment funds all payments, withdrawals, distributions and loans made since the last preceding Accounting Date that have not been charged previously;

(b)

next, the balances of the subaccounts of all such Participants under each of the investment funds, other than the Loan Fund, shall be adjusted upward or

downward, pro rata, according to the balances so that the total of the balances equals the then Fair Market Value (as defined below) of such investment fund;

(c)

next, there shall be allocated and credited to each Participant’s Loan Fund subaccounts any loan made to such Participant and any interest which has accrued thereon since the last preceding Accounting Date in accordance with paragraph 10.3(c);

(d)

next, there shall be charged to each Participant’s Loan Fund subaccounts and credited to the Participant’s subaccounts under the other investment funds in accordance with paragraph 10.3(f) any payments of principal and interest received by the Trustee since the last preceding Accounting Date;

(e)

finally, there shall be allocated and credited to each Participant’s appropriate Account the contributions, if any, that are to be allocated and credited as of that date in accordance with the provisions of subsection 7.3.

The “Fair Market Value” of an investment fund (other than the Loan Fund) as at any date means the then net worth of that investment fund, as determined by the Trustee and, to the extent held under that fund, exclusive of:

(A)

Company Profit Sharing and Company Match Contributions, if any, received by the Trustee for the period elapsed since the close of the last preceding Plan Year;

(B)

Before-Tax, After-Tax, Catch-Up and Rollover Contributions, if any, received by the Trustee for the period elapsed since the last preceding Accounting Date; and

(C)

any payments of interest and repayments of principal with respect to any loans under subsection 10.3 received by the Trustee since the last preceding Accounting Date.

7.3 Allocation and Crediting of Contributions. Subject to the provisions of Section 8, contributions shall be allocated among and credited to the Accounts of Participants as follows:

(a)

Before-Tax, After-Tax, Catch-Up and Rollover Contributions made by or on behalf of a Participant for any calendar quarter shall be credited to that Participant’s appropriate Accounts as soon as administratively possible following the day such contributions are received by the Trustee; and

(b)

As of the last day of each Plan Year, the Company Profit Sharing Contributions of an Employer for that Plan Year shall be allocated among and credited to the appropriate Accounts of Participants who were employed by the Employer on the last working day of that year (including Participants who were on an authorized leave of absence or layoff on that day), pro rata, according to the Eligible Compensation paid to them by the Employer during that Plan Year; and

(c)

As of the last day of each Plan Year, the Company Match Contributions of an Employer for that Plan Year shall be allocated among and credited to the appropriate Accounts of Participants who were employed by the Employer on the last working day of that year (including Participants who were on an authorized leave of absence or layoff on that day) and Participants who terminated employment with all the Employers and Related Companies during that year before the last working day because of death or Disability (as defined below). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Participants who terminated employment by reason of the Company’s closing the location at which the Participants worked shall be credited with Company Match Contributions of their Employer for the Plan Year in which their termination of employment occurred as of the date of such termination of employment.

“Disability” means a Participant’s inability to work because of disease or accidental bodily injury, as determined in a uniform and nondiscriminatory manner by the Committee after requiring any medical examinations by a physician or reviewing any medical evidence which the Committee considers necessary, and results in the termination of the Participant’s employment. For purposes of this Section 7, Company Profit Sharing and Company Match Contributions for any Plan Year shall be considered to have been made on the last day of that year, regardless of when paid to the Trustee.

7.4 Statement of Accounts. As soon as practicable after the last day of each calendar quarter the Committee shall provide each Participant with a statement of the balance in his Accounts as of that day.

SECTION 8

Limitations on Compensation, Contributions and Allocations

8.1 Reduction of Contribution Rates. To conform the operation of the Plan to sections 401(a)(4), 401(k)(3), 401(m)(2), 402(g) and 415(c) of the Code, the Committee may unilaterally modify or revoke any Before-Tax or After-Tax Contribution election made by a Participant pursuant to subsections 4.1 or 4.2 or may reduce (to zero, if necessary) the level of Company Match Contributions to be made pursuant to subsection 5.2 on behalf of Highly Compensated Participants.

8.2 Compensation for Limitation/Testing Purposes. The term “Compensation” for purposes of this Section 8 shall mean:

(a)

the Participant’s wages, salaries, commissions, bonuses and other amounts received during the Plan Year from any Employer or Related Company or Section 415 Affiliate (defined below) for personal services actually rendered, including taxable fringe benefits, nonqualified stock options taxable in the year of grant, amounts taxable under a section 83(b) election and nondeductible moving expenses, but excluding distributions from any deferred compensation plan (qualified or nonqualified), amounts realized from the exercise of (or disposition of stock acquired under) any nonqualified stock option or other benefits given special tax treatment; plus

(b)

any elective contributions made on the Participant’s behalf for the Plan Year to a plan sponsored by an Employer or a Related Company that are excludable from gross income in accordance with sections 125, 402 or 132(f)(4) of the Code,

up to a maximum limit of $200,000 or such other amount as may be permitted for any Plan Year under section 401(a)(17) of the Code, taking into account for purposes of such limitation any proration of such amount required under applicable Treasury regulations on account of a short Plan Year. The term “Section 415 Affiliate” means any entity that would be a Related Company if the ownership test of sections 414(b) and (c) of the Code were “more than 50%” rather than “at least 80%”.

8.3 Limitations on Annual Addition. Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan to the contrary, a Participant’s Annual Addition (as defined below) for any Plan Year shall not exceed an amount equal to the lesser of:

(a)

$45,000 (as adjusted for each Plan Year to take into account any applicable cost-of-living adjustment for that year provided by the Secretary of the Treasury under section 415(d) of the Code); or

(b)

100 percent of the Participant’s Compensation for that Plan Year (determined without regard to the limitation under Section 401(a)(17) of the Code), calculated as if each Section 415 Affiliate were a Related Company,

reduced by any Annual Additions for the Participant for the Plan Year under any other defined contribution plan of an Employer or a Related Company or Section 415 Affiliate, provided that, if any other such plan has a similar provision, the reduction shall be pro rata. The term “Annual

Addition” means, with respect to any Participant for any Plan Year the sum of all contributions allocated to the Participant’s Accounts under the Plan for such year, excluding Before-Tax Contributions that are distributed as excess deferrals. The term Annual Addition shall also include employer contributions allocated for a Plan Year to any individual medical account (as defined in section 415(l) of the Code) of a Participant under a defined benefit plan and any amount allocated for a Plan Year to the separate account of a Participant for payment of post-retirement medical benefits under a funded welfare benefit plan (as described in section 419(A)(d)(2) of the Code) which is maintained by a Related Company or a Section 415 Affiliate.

8.4 Excess Annual Addition. If, as a result of a reasonable error in estimating a Participant’s Compensation or a reasonable error in determining the amount of elective deferrals (as defined in section 402(g)(3) of the Code) or as a result of such other circumstances as the Commissioner of Internal Revenue may determine, a Participant’s Annual Additions for a Plan Year would exceed the limitations set forth in subsection 8.3:

(a)

The amount of the Participant’s After-Tax Contributions which may not be credited to the Participant’s accounts because of the foregoing provisions of this Section 8, together with earnings thereon, will be returned to the Participant as soon as practicable. Contributions which are to be returned pursuant to this paragraph (a) shall be returned in the following order: (i) After-Tax Contributions for which no Company Match Contributions were made, and (ii) After-Tax Contributions for which Company Match Contributions were made and any Company Match Contributions related thereto.

(b)

The amount of Before-Tax Contributions made on behalf of a Participant which may not be credited to the Participant’s Accounts because of the foregoing provisions of this Section 8, together with earnings thereon, will be returned to the Participant as soon as practicable. Contributions which are to be returned pursuant to this paragraph (b) shall be returned in the following order: (i) Before-Tax Contributions for which no Company Match Contributions were made, and (ii) Before-Tax Contributions for which Company Match Contributions were made and any Company Match Contributions related thereto.

(c)

The amount of any Company Match Contributions and Company Profit Sharing Contributions that may not be credited to Participants’ Accounts for any Plan Year because of the foregoing provisions of this Section 8 will be treated in accordance with Treas. Reg. § 1.415-6(b)(6)(ii).

Amounts returned to a participant or credited to a suspense account in accordance with this subsection 8.4 shall not be considered an Annual Addition for purposes of the Plan.

8.5 Before-Tax Contributions Dollar Limitation. In no event shall the Before-Tax Contributions for a Participant under the Plan (together with elective deferrals under any other cash-or-deferred arrangement maintained by an Employer or a Related Company) for any taxable year exceed the dollar amount permitted under section 402(g) of the Code. If during any taxable year a Participant is also a participant in another cash or deferred arrangement not sponsored by an Employer or a Related Company and if his elective deferrals under such other arrangement

together with his Before-Tax Contributions exceed the maximum amount permitted for the Participant for that year under section 402(g) of the Code, the Participant, not later than March 1 following the close of such taxable year, may request the Committee to direct the Trustee to distribute all or a portion of such excess deferrals to him, with the income allocable thereto, determined in accordance with applicable regulations. Any such request shall be in writing and shall include adequate proof of the existence of such excess, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, taking into account any Before-Tax Contributions previously distributed to the Participant pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section to conform to the limitations of section 401(k) of the Code. If the Committee is so notified, such excess amount shall be distributed to the Participant no later than April 15 following the close of the Participant’s taxable year. If the applicable limitation for a Plan Year happens to be exceeded with respect to this Plan alone, or this Plan and another plan or plans of the Employers and Related Companies, the Committee shall direct such excess Before-Tax Contributions (with allocable gains or losses) to be distributed to the Participant as soon as practicable after the Committee is notified of the excess deferrals by the Company, an Employer or the Participant, or otherwise discovers the error (but not later than the April 15 following the close of the Participant’s taxable year). The dollar amount of any distribution due pursuant to this subsection 8.5 shall reduced by the dollar amount of any Before-Tax Contributions which are previously distributed to the same Participant pursuant to subsection 8.7; provided, however, that for purposes of subsections 8.3 and 8.8, the correction under this subsection 8.5 shall be deemed to have occurred before the correction under subsection 8.7. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, if any Before-Tax Contributions are returned to a Participant pursuant to this subsection 8.5, the amount of any Company Match Contributions attributable to such returned contributions (and any earnings thereon) shall also be returned to the Participant.

8.6 401(k)(3) Tests. For each Plan Year, the Plan will satisfy the requirements of section 401(k)(3) of the Code and the requirements of Treas. Reg. § 1.401(k)-2 (the “ADP Test”). The determination as to whether the ADP Test is satisfied for any Plan Year shall be made based on the “current year testing method”.

8.7 Correction of Section 401(k) Excess. In the event that the ADP Test is not initially satisfied for any Plan Year, the Committee shall direct the Trustee to distribute excess contributions in accordance with Treas. Reg. § 1.401(k)-2(b). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the requirements of this subsection 8.7 are applicable, the excess contributions shall be corrected in accordance with Treas. Reg. § 1.401(k)-2(b)(2) including:

(a)

determining in accordance with Treas. Reg. § 1.401(k)-2(b)(2)(ii) the total amount of excess contributions that must be distributed;

(b)

apportioning the total amount of excess contributions that must be distributed among Highly Compensated employees in accordance with Treas. Reg. § 1.401(k)-2(b)(2)(iii);

(c)

determining the income allocable to the excess contributions in accordance with the method under Treas. Reg. § 1.401(k)-2(b)(2)(iv)(C) and the safe harbor method for determining income for the gap period; and

(d)

distributing the apportioned excess contributions and income allocable thereto in accordance with Treas. Reg. § 1.401(k)-2(b)(2)(v).

8.8 Limitation on Company Match and After-Tax Contributions. For each Plan Year, the Plan will satisfy the requirements of section 401(m)(2) of the Code and the requirements of Treas. Reg. § 1.401(m)-2 (the “ACP Test”). The determination as to whether the ADP Test is satisfied for any Plan Year shall be made based on the “current year testing method”.

8.9 Correction of Section 401(m) Excess. In the event that the ACP Test is not initially satisfied for any Plan Year, the Committee shall direct the trustee to distribute excess aggregate contributions in accordance with Treas. Reg. § 1.401(m)-2(b). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the requirements of this subsection 8.9 are applicable, the excess contributions shall be corrected in accordance with Treas. Reg. § 1.401(m)-2(b)(2) including:

(a)

determining in accordance with Treas. Reg. § 1.401(m)-2(b)(2)(ii) the total amount of excess aggregate contributions that must be distributed;

(b)

apportioning the total amount of excess aggregate contributions that must be distributed amount Highly Compensated employees in accordance with Treas. Reg. § 1.401(m)-2(b)(2)(iii);

(c)

determining the income allocable to the excess aggregate contributions in accordance with the method under Treas. Reg. § 1.401(m)-2(b)(2)(iv)(C) and the safe harbor method for determining income for the gap period; and

(d)

distributing the apportioned excess aggregate contributions and income allocable thereto in accordance with Treas. Reg. § 1.401(m)-2(b)(2)(v).

8.10 Highly Compensated. For purposes of the Plan, an employee or Participant shall be considered “Highly Compensated” for any Plan Year if:

(a)

at any time during that Plan Year or the preceding Plan Year, he was a 5 percent owner of an Employer or a Related Company; or

(b)

he received Compensation for the preceding Plan Year in excess of $100,000 (indexed for cost-of-living adjustments under section 415(d) of the Code as provided in section 414(q) of the Code) and was in the top-paid group of employees for such year.

An employee is considered to be in the “top-paid group” of employees for any year if such employee is in the group consisting of the top 20 percent of the active employees of all of the Employers and Related Companies when ranked on the basis of Compensation paid during such year. A former employee (that is, any employee who separated from service or was deemed to have separated prior to the year in question and who performs no services for the Employer and Related Companies during the year) shall be “Highly Compensated” if he was a Highly Compensated active employee for either the separation year or any Plan Year ending on or after his 55th birthday.

8.11 Catch-Up Contributions. In no event shall Catch-Up Contributions for any Plan Year exceed the limits permitted under section 414(v) of the Code. Catch-Up Contributions shall not be taken into account for purposes of the provisions of the Plan implementing the required limitations of sections 402(g) and 415 of the Code. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, the Plan shall not be treated as failing to satisfy the provisions of the Plan implementing the requirements of sections 401(k)(3), 401(k)(11), 401(k)(12), 410(b) or 416 or the Code, as applicable, by reason of the making of such Catch-Up Contributions.

SECTION 9

Vesting and Termination Dates

9.1 Determination of Vested Interest. A Participant shall at all times be fully vested and have a nonforfeitable interest in all of his Accounts.

9.2 Termination Date. A Participant’s “Termination Date” shall be the date on which his employment with the Employers and the Related Companies terminates for any reason. A Participant shall be entitled to commence distribution upon his severance from employment, subject to other provisions of the Plan governing distributions, other than provisions which require a separation from service before such amounts may be distributed. In any event, in the case of an employee or Participant who ceases to perform duties for the Employers and Related Companies on account of layoff, leave of absence or Disability (as defined below), his Termination Date with respect to his vested Company Profit Sharing Contributions Account, the amount of which shall be determined as of June 30, 1994 (but not greater than the amount of such account as of such Termination Date), shall be the earlier of the date on which the employee’s or Participant’s employment with the Employers and Related Companies terminates or the first anniversary of the date on which the employee or Participant ceases to perform services for the Employers and Related Companies. For purposes of this subsection 9.2, a Participant shall be considered to have a “Disability” if he is unable to perform the job for which he was hired by his Employer or Related Company.

SECTION 10

Loans and Withdrawals of Contributions While Employed

10.1 Withdrawals During Employment. Subject to such rules as the Committee may adopt with respect to the number, timing and amount of withdrawals, a Participant whose Termination Date has not yet occurred may elect to withdraw all or part of his interest in the investment funds (other than the Loan Fund), as provided and in the order set forth below:

(a)

up to 100 percent of the Participant’s After-Tax Contributions Account;

(b)

up to 100 percent of the Participant’s Rollover Contributions Account;

(c)

up to 100 percent of the Participant’s Company Match Contributions Account but only if the withdrawal is after the Participant’s attainment of age 59-1/2 or is because of a Financial Hardship (as defined in subsection 10.2);

(d)

up to 100 percent of the Participant’s Before-Tax Contributions Account but only if the withdrawal is after the Participant’s attainment of age 59-1/2, or up to 100 percent of the Participant’s Before-Tax Contributions and earnings credited thereon before January 1, 1989 but only if the withdrawal is because of a Financial Hardship; and

(e)

up to 100 percent of the Participant’s Company Profit Sharing Contributions Account but only if the withdrawal is after the Participant’s attainment of age 59-1/2 or is because of a Financial Hardship.

Each withdrawal shall be made in cash as soon as administratively possible after the relevant Accounting Date.

10.2 Financial Hardship. A withdrawal will not be considered to be made on account of “Financial Hardship” unless the following requirements are met:

(a)

The withdrawal is requested because of an immediate and heavy financial need of the Participant, and will be so deemed if the Participant represents that the withdrawal is made on account of:

(i)

expenses incurred for or necessary to obtain medical care (described in section 213(d) of the Code without regard to whether the expenses exceed 7.5% of adjusted gross income) of the Participant, the Participant’s spouse, any dependents of the Participant (as defined in section 152 of the Code) or a non-custodial child of the Participant;

(ii)

costs directly related to the purchase (excluding mortgage payments) of a principal residence of the Participant;

(iii)

payment of tuition and related educational fees for the next 12 months of post-secondary education for the Participant, or his spouse, children or

dependents (as defined in section 152 of the Code and, for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2005, without regard to section 152(d)(1)(B) of the Code);

(iv)

payments necessary the need to prevent (1) the eviction of the Participant from his principal residence or (2) the foreclosure on the mortgage of that residence;

(v)

payments for burial or funeral expenses of the Participant’s deceased parent, spouse, children or dependents (as defined in section 152 of the Code and, for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2005, without regard to section 152(d)(1)(B) of the Code);

(vi)

expenses for the repair of damage to the Participant’s principal residence that qualify for the casualty loss deduction under section 165 of the Code (without regard to whether the loss exceeds 10 percent of adjusted gross income); or

(vii)

any other distribution which is deemed by the Commissioner of Internal Revenue to be made on account of immediate and heavy financial need as provided in Treasury Regulations.

(b)

The withdrawal must also be necessary to satisfy the heavy and financial need of the Participant. It will be considered necessary only to the extent that the Committee determines that the amount of the withdrawal does not exceed the amount required to relieve the financial need (taking into account any applicable income or penalty taxes resulting from the withdrawal) and if the need cannot be satisfied from other resources that are reasonably available to the Participant (and the Employer does not have any knowledge to the contrary). In making this determination, the Committee may reasonably rely on the Participant’s written representation that the need cannot be relieved in whole or in part by any of the following (to the extent such actions themselves would have the effect of increasing the amount of the need):

(i)

reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise;

(ii)

liquidation of the Participant’s assets; or

(iii)

cessation of Before Tax Contributions and/or After-Tax Contributions to the Plan;

(iv)

other currently available distributions and nontaxable (at the time of the loan) loans under the Plan and any other plans (qualified and nonqualified) maintained by the Employers or Related Companies or any other employer; or

(v)

borrowing from commercial sources on reasonable commercial terms in an amount sufficient to satisfy the need.

(c)

The withdrawal must be made pursuant to a written request to the Committee, which request shall include any representation required by this subsection and adequate proof thereof, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.

10.3 Loans. Each Participant who is an employee or who otherwise is required to be given the opportunity to borrow under applicable regulations may request a loan from that Participant’s Account, and the Committee in its sole discretion may direct the Trustee to make a cash loan to such Participant. The terms of such loan shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Committee, subject to the following conditions:

(a)

No loan shall be made to a Participant if, immediately after such loan, the sum of the outstanding balances (including principal and interest) of all loans made to him under this Plan and under any other qualified retirement plans made by Employers or Related Companies would exceed $50,000, reduced by the excess, if any, of:

(i)

the highest outstanding balance of all loans to the Participant from the plans during the one-year period ending on the day immediately before the date on which the loan is made; over

(ii)

the outstanding balance of loans from the plans to the Participant on the date on which such loan is made;

and no loan shall be made to a Participant if the aggregate amount of that loan and the outstanding balance of any other loans to the Participant would exceed one-half of the total vested balance of the Participant’s Account balances under the Plan as of the date the loan is made.

(b)

Each loan shall be evidenced by a legally enforceable agreement specifying the amount and date of the loan and providing for:

(i)

a reasonable repayment period of not more than 5 years from the date of the loan (or such longer period permitted by the Committee in the case of a loan which is used to acquire a dwelling which, within a reasonable period of time, will be used as the Participant’s principal residence (as defined in section 121 of the Code)); provided, however, that the term of any loan which is being used to refinance a then existing loan under the Plan shall not exceed the maximum permitted term of the loan that is being refinanced;

(ii)

a reasonable rate of interest, as determined from time to time by the Committee;

(iii)

substantially equal payments of principal and interest over the term of the loan no less frequently than quarterly on a basis that would permit such loan to be amortized over its term; and

(v)

such other terms and conditions as the Committee shall determine.

(c)

Any loans shall be charged against the Participant’s Account and subaccounts in the order prescribed by the Committee.

(d)

A Participant shall not be permitted to have more than one loan from the Plan outstanding at any time; provided, however, that a Participant may have two loans outstanding at a time if such second loan is used to refinance a then existing loan under the Plan.

(e)

The minimum amount of any loan shall be $1,000.

(f)

A prepayment of the entire outstanding principal and interest may be made without penalty. The Committee may require that loan payments be made by payroll deductions. During any period when payroll deduction is not possible or is not permitted under applicable law, repayment may be made by a direct debit from a Participant’s savings or checking account. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Participant’s repayment obligation may be suspended for any period he is laid off or on an approved leave of absence, up to a maximum of twelve months.

(g)

Any loan to a Participant shall become immediately due and payable as of the last day of the calendar quarter following the calendar quarter in which any required installment was due and remains unpaid or, if earlier, upon the Participant’s Termination Date. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, if the outstanding balance of principal and interest on any loan is not paid by the last day of the calendar quarter following the calendar quarter following the date on which the loan term expires or upon acceleration in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this paragraph (g), a default shall occur and the Trustee shall apply all or a portion of the Participant’s vested interest in the Plan in satisfaction of such outstanding obligation, but only to the extent such vested interest (or portion thereof) is then distributable under applicable provisions of the code and under the terms of the Plan. If necessary to satisfy the entire outstanding obligation, such application of the Participant’s vested interest may be executed in a series of actions as amounts credited to the Participant’s account become distributable. The provisions of this paragraph shall be applied in accordance with applicable state and federal law.

(h)

Appropriate disclosure shall be made pursuant to the Truth in Lending Act to the extent applicable.

(i)

Amounts of principal and interest received on a loan shall be credited to such Participant’s Account and the outstanding loan balance shall be considered an investment of the assets of such Account. Payment of principal and interest shall be credited to the subaccount in the Participant’s Account from which the loan originated unless the Committee adopts a rule to the contrary.

(j)

A loan application fee and annual loan administrative fees shall be established by the Committee.

(k)

The Committee shall establish uniform procedures for applying for a loan, evaluating loan applications and setting reasonable rates of interest, which shall be communicated to Participants in writing.

(l)

If distribution is to be made to a Beneficiary in accordance with subsection 11.2, any outstanding promissory note of the Participant shall be canceled and the unpaid balance of the loan, together with any accrued interest thereon, shall be treated as a distribution to or on behalf of the Participant immediately prior to commencement of distribution to the Beneficiary.

The Committee shall administer the Plan loan program in accordance with section 72(p) of the Code and application Treasury Regulations issued thereunder.

SECTION 11

Distributions

11.1 Distributions to Participants After Termination of Employment. If a Termination Date occurs with respect to a Participant (for a reason other than his death), the vested portions of his Account shall be distributed in accordance with the following provisions of this subsection, subject to the rules of subsection 11.3:

(a)

If the value of the vested portion of the Participant’s Account does not exceed $1,000, determined as of the Accounting Date coincident with or next preceding his Termination Date, such vested portion (other than any loan balance distributable in accordance with subsection 10.3) shall be distributed to the Participant as soon as practicable after his Termination Date, in a lump sum payment.

(b)

If the value of the vested portion of the Participant’s Accounts exceeds $1,000, determined as of the Accounting Date coincident with or next preceding his Termination Date, such vested portion (other than any outstanding loan balance distributable in accordance with subsection 10.3) shall be distributed (or shall begin to be distributed) to the Participant on (or as soon as practicable after) the Distribution Date (as defined in paragraph (c) next below) he elects by one of the following methods chosen by the Participant:

(i)

by payment in a lump sum, or

(ii)

by payment in a series of substantially equal annual or more frequent installments for a period not exceeding 15 years;

provided, however, a Participant may elect a partial distribution of his Accounts at his Termination Date and defer the balance until a later Distribution Date.

(c)

The term “Distribution Date” shall mean the Accounting Date as of which a payment in any form is made pursuant to this Section 10, which date shall be no later than the Accounting Date next following the date of the Participant’s death.

(d)

Distribution may be made before 30 days after the date on which the notice required under Treas. Reg. § 1.411(a)-11(c) is given if the Committee clearly informs the Participant of his right to consider whether to elect the distribution for a period of at least 30 days after receiving the notice and the Participant, after receiving the notice, affirmatively elects the distribution.

(e)

If a Participant terminates employment but is reemployed by an Employer or a Related Company before a distribution has been made to the Participant under this subsection, the distribution of the Participant’s Account shall not be made and the Participant’s Account shall continue to be held in the Trust Fund until the Participant again has a Termination Date.

11.2 Distributions to Beneficiaries. Subject to subsection 11.4, if a Participant dies before the vested portion of his Account has been distributed, such balance (less any outstanding loan balance distributable in accordance with subsection 10.3) shall be distributed as soon as practicable after the Accounting Date coincident with or next following the Participant’s death, to his Beneficiary (as defined in subsection 11.4) in a lump sum payment.

11.3 Limits on Commencement and Duration of Distributions. The following distribution rules shall be applied in accordance with sections 401(a)(9) and 401(a)(14) of the Code and applicable regulations thereunder, including the minimum distribution incidental benefit requirement of Treas. Reg. § 1.401(a)(9)-2, and shall supersede any other provision of the Plan to the contrary:

(a)

Unless a Participant elects otherwise, in no event shall distribution commence later than 60 days after the close of the Plan Year in which the latest of the following events occurs: the Participant’s attainment of age 65; the 10th anniversary of the date on which the Participant began participating in the Plan; or the Participant’s Termination Date.

(b)

The Participant’s vested Account shall be distributed in a lump sum payment no later than his “Required Beginning Date”, that is, April 1 of the calendar year following the later of (i) the calendar year in which the Participant’s Termination Date occurs, or (ii) the calendar year in which he attains age 70-1/2; provided, however, that clause (i) shall not apply to any Participant who is a 5 percent owner of an Employer or a Related Company (as defined in section 416 of the Code).

(c)

If a Participant dies before distribution of his vested interest in the Plan has been made, distribution of such vested interest to his Beneficiary shall be made by December 31 of the calendar year in which the fifth anniversary of the Participant’s death occurs.

(d)

For periods on and after January 1, 2003, minimum required distributions under the Plan shall be governed by Supplement B to this Plan.

11.4 Beneficiary Designations. The term “Beneficiary” shall mean the Participant’s surviving spouse. However, if the Participant is not married, or if the Participant is married and (i) his spouse consents to the designation of a person other than the spouse, (ii) he is legally separated or he has been abandoned (within the meaning of local law) and he has a court order to such effect, or (iii) it is established to the satisfaction of the Committee that the spouse cannot be located, the term “Beneficiary” shall mean such person or persons as the Participant designates to receive the vested portion of his Account upon his death. Such designation may be made, revoked or changed (without the consent of any previously-designated Beneficiary except his spouse) only by an instrument signed by the Participant and received by the Committee prior to his death. A spouse’s consent to the designation of a Beneficiary other than the spouse shall be in writing, shall acknowledge the effect of such designation, shall be witnessed by a notary public and shall be effective only with respect to such consenting spouse. In default of such designation, or at any time when there is no surviving spouse and no existing Beneficiary

designated by the Participant, his Beneficiary shall be the legal representative of his estate. For purposes of the Plan, “spouse” means the person to whom the Participant is legally married at the relevant time.

11.5 Facility of Payment. Notwithstanding the provisions of subsections 11.1 and 11.2, if, in the Committee’s opinion, a Participant or Beneficiary is under a legal disability or is in any way incapacitated so as to be unable to manage his financial affairs, the Committee may direct the Trustee to make payment to a relative or friend of such person for his benefit until claim is made by a conservator or other person legally charged with the care of his person or his estate. Thereafter, any benefits under the Plan to which such Participant or Beneficiary is entitled shall be paid to such conservator or other person legally charged with the care of his person or his estate.

11.6 Interests Not Transferable. The interests of Participants and other persons entitled to benefits under the Plan are not subject to the claims of their creditors and may not be voluntarily or involuntarily assigned, alienated or encumbered, except (i) in the case of qualified domestic relations orders that relate to the provision of child support, alimony or marital rights of a spouse, child or other dependent and which meet such other requirements as may be imposed by section 414(p) of the Code or regulations issued thereunder, (ii) pursuant to a judgment or settlement order issued after August 5, 1997 (against a Participant convicted of a crime involving the misuse of Plan funds or a civil judgment for breach of fiduciary duty) meeting the requirements of section 401(a)(13)(C) of the Code, (ii) in the case of a tax lien obtained by the Internal Revenue Service, or (iv) in the case of a voluntary revocable assignment to an Employer provided that such assignments do not in the aggregate exceed 10 percent of any benefit payment and further provided that such assignments are not made for the purpose of defraying administrative costs of the Plan. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, such domestic relations order may permit distribution of the entire portion of the vested Account balance of a Participant awarded to his alternate payee, in a lump sum payment as soon as practicable after the Committee determines that such order is qualified, without regard to whether the Participant would himself be entitled under the terms of the Plan to withdraw or receive a distribution of such vested amount at that time.

11.7 Form of Payment. All distributions under the Plan shall be made in cash unless the Participant elects to have the portion of his Accounts invested in the Company Stock Fund distributed in whole shares of Company Stock.

11.8 Absence of Guaranty. None of the Committee, the Trustee, or the Employers in any way guarantee the Trust Fund from loss or depreciation. The Employers do not guarantee any payment to any person. The liability of the Trustee to make any payment is limited to the available assets of the Trust Fund.

11.9 Missing Participants or Beneficiaries. Each Participant and each designated Beneficiary must file with the Committee from time to time in writing his post office address and each change of post office address. Any communication, statement or notice addressed to a Participant or designated Beneficiary at his last post office address filed with the Committee, or, in the case of a Participant, if no address is filed with the Committee, then at his last post office address as shown on the Employers’ records, will be binding on the Participant and his

designated Beneficiary for all purposes of the Plan. None of the Committee, the Employers nor the Trustee will be required to search for or locate a Participant or designated Beneficiary.

11.10 Optional Direct Transfer of Eligible Rollover Distribution. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary that would otherwise limit a distributee’s election under this subsection 11.10, a distributee may elect to have any portion of an eligible rollover distribution paid directly to an eligible retirement plan specified by the distributee in a direct rollover. For purposes of this subsection 11.10, the following definitions shall apply:

(a)

An “eligible rollover distribution” means any distribution of all or any portion of the balance to the credit of the distributee, except that an eligible rollover distribution does not include: any distribution that is one of a series of substantially equal periodic payments (not less frequently than annually) made for the life (or life expectancy) of the distributee or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the distributee and the distributee’s designated beneficiary, or for a specified period of ten years or more; and any distribution to the extent such distribution is required under section 401(a)(9) of the Code. A portion of a distribution shall not fail to be an eligible rollover distribution merely because the portion consists of after-tax employee contributions which are not includible in gross income; provided, however, that such portion may be transferred only to an individual retirement account or annuity described in section 408(a) or (b) of the Code, or to a qualified defined contribution plan described in section 401(a) or 403(a) of the Code that agrees to separately account for amounts so transferred, including separately accounting for the portion of such distribution which is includible in gross income and the portion of such distribution which is not so includible. A distribution which is made upon the hardship of the employee shall not constitute an eligible rollover distribution for purposes of the Plan.

(b)

An “eligible retirement plan” means an individual retirement account described in section 408(a) of the Code, an individual retirement annuity described in section 408(b) of the Code, an annuity plan described in section 403(a) of the Code or a qualified trust described in section 401(a) of the Code, that accepts the distributee’s eligible rollover distribution; provided, however, in the case of an eligible rollover distribution to the surviving spouse, an eligible retirement plan is an individual retirement account or individual retirement annuity.

(c)

A “distributee” means an employee or former employee and the employee’s or former employee’s surviving spouse and the employee’s or former employee’s spouse or former spouse who is the alternate payee under a qualified domestic relations order as defined in section 414(p) of the Code.

A “direct rollover to an eligible retirement plan” means a payment by the Plan to the eligible retirement plan specified by the distributee.

SECTION 12

The Committee

12.1 Membership and Authority. The Retirement Committee referred to in subsection 1.3 shall consist of at least one member appointed by the Company. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Section, in controlling and managing the operation and administration of the Plan, the Committee shall act by a majority of its then members, by meeting or by writing filed without meeting and any decision made by the Committee pursuant to this subsection (or any other provision of the Plan granting it such authority) shall be final. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, benefits under the Plan will be paid only if the Committee decides, in its discretion, that the applicant is entitled to such benefits.

12.2 Rights, Powers and Duties. The Committee shall have such authority as may be necessary to discharge its responsibilities under the Plan, including the following discretionary powers, rights and duties (in addition to those vested in it elsewhere in the Plan or Trust):

(a)

to adopt such rules of procedure and regulations as, in its opinion, may be necessary for the proper and efficient administration of the Plan and as are consistent with the provisions of the Plan;

(b)

SECTION 13

Amendment and Termination

13.1 Amendment. While the Company expects to continue the Plan, it necessarily reserves the right, subject to the provisions of the Trust Agreement, to amend the Plan from time to time, except that no amendment will reduce a Participant’s interest in the Plan to less than an amount equal to the amount he would have been entitled to receive if he had resigned from the employ of the Employers and the Related Companies on the day of the amendment.

13.2 Termination. The Plan will terminate as to all of the Employers on any day specified by the Company if advance written notice of the termination is given to the other Employers. Employees of any Employer shall cease active participation in the Plan (and, to the extent applicable, will be treated as inactive Participants in accordance with subsection 2.2) on the first to occur of the following:

the dissolution, merger, consolidation or reorganization of that Employer, or the sale by that Employer of all or substantially all of its assets, except that, subject to the provisions of subsection 13.3, with the consent of the Company, in any such event, arrangements may be made whereby the Plan will be continued by any successor to that Employer or any purchaser of all or substantially all of that Employer’s assets, in which case the successor or purchaser will be substituted for the Employer under the Plan.

13.3 Merger and Consolidation of the Plan, Transfer of Plan Assets. In the case of any merger or consolidation with, or transfer of assets and liabilities to, any other plan, provision shall be made so that each affected Participant in the Plan on the date thereof (if the Plan, as applied to that Participant, then terminated) would receive a benefit immediately after the merger, consolidation or transfer which is equal to or greater than the benefit he would have been entitled to receive immediately prior to the merger, consolidation or transfer if the Plan, as applied to him, had then terminated.

13.4 Distribution on Termination and Partial Termination. Upon termination or partial termination of the Plan, all benefits under the Plan shall continue to be paid in accordance with Section 11 as such section may be amended from time to time.

Definitions

A-2. Unless the context clearly implies or indicates the contrary, a word, term or phrase used or defined in the Plan is similarly used or defined for purposes of this Supplement A.

Affected Participant

A-3. For purposes of this Supplement A, the term “Affected Participant” means each Participant who is employed by an Employer or a Related Company during any Plan Year for which the Plan is Top-Heavy; provided, however, that the term “Affected Participant” shall not include any Participant who is covered by a collective bargaining agreement if retirement benefits were the subject of good faith bargaining between his Employer and his collective bargaining representative.

Top-Heavy

A-4. The Plan shall be “Top-Heavy” for any Plan Year if, as of the Determination Date for that year (as described in paragraph (a) next below), the present value of the benefits attributable to Key Employees (as defined in subsection A-5) under all Aggregation Plans (as defined in subsection A-8) exceeds 60 percent of the present value of all benefits under such plans. The foregoing determination shall be made in accordance with the provisions of section 416 of the Code. Subject to the preceding sentence:

(a)

The Determination Date with respect to any plan for purposes of determining Top-Heavy status for any plan year of that plan shall be the last day of the preceding plan year or, in the case of the first plan year of that plan, the last day of that year. The present value of benefits as of any Determination Date shall be determined as of the accounting date or valuation date coincident with or next preceding the Determination Date. If the plan years of all Aggregation Plans do not coincide, the Top-Heavy status of the Plan on any Determination Date shall be determined by aggregating the present value of Plan benefits on that date with the present value of the benefits under each other Aggregation Plan determined as of the Determination Date of such other Aggregation Plan which occurs in the same calendar year as the Plan’s Determination Date.

A-1

(b)

Benefits under any plan as of any Determination Date shall include the amount of any distributions from that plan made during the plan year which includes the Determination Date (including distributions under a terminated plan which, if it had not been terminated, would have been required to be included in an aggregation group) or during any of the preceding four plan years, but shall not include any amounts attributable to employee contributions which are deductible under section 219 of the Code, any amounts attributable to employee-initiated rollovers or transfers made after December 31, 1983 from a plan maintained by an unrelated employer, or, in the case of a defined contribution plan, any amounts attributable to contributions made after the Determination Date unless such contributions are required by section 412 of the Code or are made for the plan’s first plan year.

(c)

Benefits attributable to a participant shall include benefits paid or payable to a beneficiary of the participant, but shall not include benefits paid or payable to any participant who has not performed services for an Employer or Related Company during any of the five plan years ending on the applicable Determination Date; provided, however, that if a participant performs no services for five years and then performs services, the benefits attributable to such participant shall be included.

(d)

The accrued benefit of any participant who is a Non-Key Employee with respect to a plan but who was a Key Employee with respect to such plan for any prior plan year shall not be taken into account.

(e)

The accrued benefit of a Non-Key Employee shall be determined under the method which is used for accrual purposes for all plans of the Employer and Related Companies; or, if there is not such a method, as if the benefit accrued not more rapidly than the slowest accrual rate permitted under section 411(b)(1)(c) of the Code.

(f)

The present value of benefits under all defined benefit plans shall be determined on the basis of a 5 percent per annum interest factor and the 1971 Group Annuity Mortality Table.

(a)

an officer of any Employer or Related Company with Compensation (as defined in subsection A-6) in excess of 50 percent of the amount in effect under section 415(b)(1)(A) of the Code for the calendar year in which that year ends; provided, however, that the maximum number of employees who shall be considered Key Employees under this paragraph (a) shall be the lesser of 50 or 10 percent of the total number of employees of the Employers and Related Companies disregarding excludable employees under section 414(q)(8) of the Code;

(b)

one of the 10 employees owning the largest interests in any Employer or any Related Company (disregarding any ownership interest which is less than 1/2 of one percent), excluding any employee for any plan year whose compensation did not exceed the applicable amount in effect under section 415(c)(1)(A) of the Code for the calendar year in which that year ends;

(c)

a 5 percent owner of any Employer or of any Related Company; or

(d)

a 1 percent owner of any Employer or any Related Company having Compensation in excess of $150,000.

Compensation

A-6. The term “Compensation” for purposes of this Supplement A generally means, for any year, compensation within the meaning of section 415(c)(3) of the Code for that year, not exceeding $150,000 or such other amount as may be permitted for any year under section 401(a)(17) of the Code; provided, however, that solely for purposes of determining who is a Key Employee, the term “Compensation” means compensation as defined in section 414(q)(7) of the Code.

Non-Key Employee

A-7. The term “Non-Key Employee” means any employee (or beneficiary of a deceased employee) who is not a Key Employee.

Aggregation Plan

A-8. The term “Aggregation Plan” means the Plan and each other retirement plan (including any terminated plan) maintained by an Employer or Related Company which is qualified under section 401(a) of the Code and which:

A-3

(e)

during the plan year which includes the applicable Determination Date, or during any of the preceding four plan years, includes a Key Employee as a participant;

(f)

during the plan year which includes the applicable Determination Date or, during any of the preceding four plan years, enables the Plan or any plan in which a Key Employee participates to meet the requirements of section 401(a)(4) or 410 of the Code; or

(g)

at the election of the Employer, would meet the requirements of sections 401(a)(4) and 410 if it were considered together with the Plan and all other plans described in paragraphs (a) and (b) next above.

Required Aggregation Plan

Permissive Aggregation Plan

A-10. The term “Permissive Aggregation Plan” Aggregation means a plan described in paragraph (c) of subsection A-8.

Minimum Contribution

A-11. For any Plan Year during which the Plan is Top-Heavy, the minimum amount of Employer contributions and forfeitures allocated to the Account of each Affected Participant who is employed by an Employer or Related Company on the last day of that year (whether or not he has completed 1,000 Hours of Service during that year) who is a Non-Key Employee and who is not entitled to a minimum benefit for that year under any defined benefit Aggregation Plan which is top-heavy, nor is entitled to a minimum benefit for that year under any other defined contribution Aggregation Plan maintained by the Employer, shall, when expressed as a percentage of the Affected Participant’s Compensation, be equal to the lesser of:

(h)

3 percent; or

(i)

the percentage at which Employer contributions (including Employer contributions made pursuant to a cash or deferred arrangement) and Forfeitures are allocated to the Accounts of the Key Employees for whom such percentage is greatest.

For purposes of the preceding sentence, compensation earned while a member of a group of employees to which the Plan has not been extended shall be disregarded. Paragraph (b) next above shall not be applicable for any Plan Year if the Plan enables a defined benefit plan described in paragraph A-8(a) or A-8(b) to meet the requirements of section 401(a)(4) or 410 of the Code for that year.

A-4

Employer contributions for any Plan Year during which the Plan is Top-Heavy shall be allocated first to Non-Key Employees until the requirements of this subsection A-11 have been met and, to the extent necessary to comply with the provisions of this subsection A-11, additional contributions shall be required of the Employers.

Special Rules

A-12. This subsection shall apply for purposes of determining whether the Plan is a top-heavy plan under section 416(g) of the Code for Plan Years beginning after December 31, 2001, and whether the Plan satisfies the minimum benefits requirements of section 416(c) of the Code for such years. To the extent applicable, this subsection supersedes the foregoing provisions of this Supplement A.

(a)

A “Key Employee” means any employee or former employee (including any deceased employee) who at any time during the Plan Year that includes the Determination Date was an officer of the Employers and Related Companies having annual compensation greater than $130,000 (as adjusted under section 416(i)(1) of the Code for Plan Years beginning after December 31, 2002), a 5-percent owner of the Employers and Related Companies, or a 1-percent owner of the Employer and Related Companies having annual compensation of more than $150,000. For this purpose, annual compensation means compensation within the meaning of section 415(c)(3) of the Code. The determination of who is a Key Employee will be made in accordance with section 416(i)(1) of the Code and the applicable regulations and other guidance of general applicability issued thereunder.

(b)

The following provisions shall apply for purposes of determining the present values of accrued benefits and the amounts of account balances of employees as of the Determination Date.

(i)

The present values of accrued benefits and the amounts of account balances of an employee as of the Determination Date shall be increased by the distributions made with respect to the employee under the Plan and any plan aggregated with the Plan under section 416(g)(2) of the Code during the 1-year period ending on the Determination Date. The preceding sentence shall also apply to distributions under a terminated plan which, had it not been terminated, would have been aggregated

A-5

with the Plan under section 416(g)(2)(A)(i) of the Code. In the case of a distribution made for a reason other than separation from service, death or disability, this provision shall be applied by substituting “5-year period” for “1-year period”.

(ii)

Accrued benefits and accounts of any individual who has not performed services for the Employers and Related Companies during the 1-year period ending on the Determination Date shall not be taken into account.

(c)

Employer matching contributions shall be taken into account for purposes of satisfying the minimum contribution requirements of section 416(c)(2) of the Code and the Plan. The preceding sentence shall apply with respect to matching contributions under the Plan or, if the Plan provides that the minimum contribution requirement shall be met in another Plan, such other plan. Employer matching contributions that are used to satisfy the minimum contribution requirements shall be treated as matching contributions for purposes of the actual contribution percentage test and other requirements of section 401(m) of the Code.

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

(i)

If the Participant’s surviving spouse is the Participant’s sole designated beneficiary, then

B-1

distributions to the surviving spouse will begin by December 31 of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which the Participant died, or by December 31 of the calendar year in which the Participant would have attained the age of 70 ½, if later.

(i)

the quotient obtained by dividing the Participant’s Account balance by the distribution period in the Uniform Lifetime Table set forth in section 1.401(a)(9)-9 of the Treasury regulations, using the Participant’s age as of the Participant’s birthday in the distribution calendar year; or

(ii)

if the Participant’s sole designated beneficiary for the distribution calendar year is the Participant’s spouse, the quotient obtained by dividing the Participant’s Account balance by the number in the Joint and Last Survivor Table set forth in section 1.401(a)(9)-9 of the Treasury regulations, using the Participant’s and spouse’s attained ages as of the Participant’s and spouse’s birthdays in the distribution calendar year.

Participant’s Death

(a)

Death On or After Distributions Begin.

(i)

Participant Survived by designated beneficiary. If the Participant dies on or after the date distributions begin and there is a designated beneficiary, the minimum amount that will be distributed for each distribution calendar year after the year of the Participant’s death is the quotient obtained by dividing the Participant’s Account Balance by the longer of the remaining life expectancy of the Participant or the remaining life expectancy of the Participant’s designated beneficiary, determined as follows:

B-3

(1)

The Participant’s remaining life expectancy is calculated using the age of the Participant in the year of death, reduced by one for each subsequent year.

(2)

If the Participant’s surviving spouse is the Participant’s sole designated beneficiary, the remaining life expectancy of the surviving spouse is calculated for each distribution calendar year after the year of the Participant’s death using the surviving spouse’s age as of the spouse’s birthday in that year. For distribution calendar years after the year of the surviving spouse’s death, the remaining life expectancy of the surviving spouse is calculated using the age of the surviving spouse as of the spouse’s birthday in the calendar year of the spouse’s death, reduced by one for each subsequent calendar year.

(3)

If the Participant’s surviving spouse is not the Participant’s sole designated beneficiary, the designated beneficiary’s remaining life expectancy is calculated using the age of the beneficiary in the year following the year of the Participant’s death, reduced by one for each subsequent year.

(ii)

No designated beneficiary. If the Participant dies on or after the date distributions begin and there is no designated beneficiary as of September 30 of the year after the year of the Participant’s death, the minimum amount that will be distributed for each distribution calendar year after the year of the Participant’s death is the quotient obtained by dividing the Participant’s Account Balance by the Participant’s remaining life expectancy calculated using the age of the Participant in the year of death, reduced by one for each subsequent year.

(b)

Death Before Date Distributions Begin.

(i)

Participant Survived by designated beneficiary. If the Participant dies before the date distributions begin and there is a designated beneficiary, the minimum amount that will be distributed for each

B-4

distribution calendar year after the year of the Participant’s death is the quotient obtained by dividing the Participant’s Account Balance by the remaining life expectancy of the Participant’s designated beneficiary, determined as provided in subsection B-6.

(ii)

No designated beneficiary. If the Participant dies before the date distributions begin and there is no designated beneficiary as of September 30 of the year following the year of the Participant’s death, distribution of the Participant’s entire interest will be completed by December 31 of the calendar year containing the fifth anniversary of the Participant’s death.

(iii)

Death of Surviving Spouse Before Distributions to Surviving Spouse are Required to Begin. If the Participant dies before the date distributions begin, the Participant’s surviving spouse is the Participant’s sole designated beneficiary, and the surviving spouse dies before distributions are required to begin to the surviving spouse under paragraph B-4(b)(i) this paragraph B-6(b) will apply as if the surviving spouse were the Participant.

Special Rule

B-9. If the Participant dies before distributions begin and there is a designated beneficiary, distribution to the designated beneficiary is not required to begin by the date specified in subsection B-4 of this Supplement B, but the Participant's entire interest will be distributed to the designated beneficiary by December 31 of the calendar year containing the fifth anniversary of the Participant's death. If the Participant's surviving spouse is the Participant's sole designated beneficiary and the surviving spouse dies after the Participant but before distributions to either the Participant or the surviving spouse begin, this election will apply as if the surviving spouse were the Participant.
