2. The Company may enter into an agreement (the “Trust Agreement”) with an independent third party individual or institution, pursuant to which such entity shall serve as trustee (the “Trustee”) under an irrevocable trust (the “Trust”) to be used in connection with the Plan.

3. The Company intends to make contributions to the Trust so that such contributions will be held by the Trustee and invested, reinvested and distributed, all in accordance with the provisions of this Plan and the Trust Agreement.

4. The Company intends that the Trust be a “grantor trust” with the principal and income of the Trust treated as assets and income of the Company, as applicable, for Federal and state income tax purposes.

5. The Company intends that the assets of the Trust shall at all times be subject to the claims of the general creditors of the Company, as provided in the Trust Agreement.

6. The Company intends that the existence of the Trust shall not alter the characterization of the Plan as “unfunded” for purposes of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), and shall not be construed to provide income to Plan participants under the Plan prior to actual payment of the vested accrued benefits thereunder.

Subject to the provisions of Article II, each Eligible Employee may elect to defer Compensation by filing with the Committee an election that conforms to the requirements of this Section 3.1, on a form or electronic method provided by the Committee, no later than the last day of his or her Initial Election Period.

(b)General Rule. The amount of Compensation that an Eligible Employee may elect to defer is such Compensation earned on or after the time at which the Eligible Employee elects to defer in accordance with Sections 1.1(u) and 3.1(a) and shall be a flat dollar amount or percentage which shall not exceed 50 (fifty) percent of the Eligible Employee’s Base Salary and/or up to 100 (one-hundred) percent of the Eligible Employee’s incentive sales commissions and Bonuses, as may be limited as set forth in Appendix A to this document, provided that the total amount deferred by a Participant shall be limited in any calendar year, if necessary, to satisfy Social Security Tax (including Medicare), income tax and employee benefit plan withholding requirements as determined in the sole and absolute discretion of the Committee.

(c)Duration of Compensation Deferral Election. An Eligible Employee’s initial election to defer Compensation must be prior to the end of his or her Initial Election Period and is to be effective with respect to Compensation received after such deferral election is processed. A Participant may increase, decrease or terminate a deferral election with respect to Compensation for any subsequent calendar quarter by filing a new election prior to the beginning of the next calendar quarter, which election shall be effective on the first day of the next following calendar quarter. In the case of an employee who becomes an Eligible Employee after the Effective Date, such Eligible Employee shall have 30 days from the date he or she receives written or electronic notice from the Committee of becoming an Eligible Employee to make an Initial Election with respect to Compensation.

In making the designation pursuant to this Section 3.2, the Participant may specify that all or any multiple of his or her Account be deemed to be invested, in whole percentage increments, in one or more of the types of investment funds provided under the Plan as communicated from time to time by the Committee. Effective as of the first of any calendar month, a Participant may change the designation made under this Section 3.2 by filing an election, on a form or electronic method provided by the Committee, with the Committee prior to the end of the prior month.

ARTICLE IV

DEFERRAL ACCOUNTS AND TRUST FUNDING

4.1Deferral Accounts.

The Committee shall establish and maintain a Deferral Account for each Participant under the Plan. Each Participant’s Deferral Account shall be further divided into separate subaccounts (“investment fund subaccounts”), each of which corresponds to an investment fund elected by the Participant pursuant to Section 3.2(a). A Participant’s Deferral Account shall be credited as follows:

(a) As soon as administratively practicable after amounts are withheld and deferred from a Participant’s Compensation, the Committee shall credit the investment fund subaccounts of the Participant’s Deferral Account with an amount equal to Compensation deferred by the Participant in accordance with the Participant’s election under Section 3.2(a); that is, the portion of the Participant’s deferred Compensation that the Participant has elected to be deemed to be invested in a certain type of investment fund shall be credited to the investment fund subaccount corresponding to that investment fund;

(b) Each business day, if valued daily, or each month, if valued monthly, each investment fund subaccount of a Participant’s Deferral Account shall be credited with earnings or losses in an amount equal to that determined by multiplying the balance credited to such investment fund subaccount as of the prior day, if valued daily, or prior month, if valued monthly, plus contributions credited that day to the investment fund subaccount by the Interest

-6-

Rate for the corresponding fund selected by the Company pursuant to Section 3.2(b). Adjustments to the Participant’s Deferral Account crediting rate and/or balance may be made for fees and expenses pertaining to the operation of the Plan and related asset charges.

(c) In the event that a Participant elects for a given Plan Year’s deferral of Compensation to have a Scheduled Withdrawal Date, all amounts attributed to the deferral of Compensation for such Plan Year shall be accounted for in a manner which allows separate accounting for the deferral of Compensation and investment gains and losses associated with such Plan Year’s deferral of Compensation.

4.2Company Contribution Account.

The Committee shall establish and maintain a Company Contribution Account for each Participant under the Plan. Each Participant’s Company Contribution Account shall be further divided into separate investment fund subaccounts corresponding to the investment fund elected by the Participant pursuant to Section 3.2(a). A Participant’s Company Contribution Account shall be credited as follows:

(a) As soon as administratively practicable after a Company Discretionary Contribution Amount or Company Matching Contribution Amount, the Committee shall credit the investment fund subaccounts of the Participant’s Company Contribution Account with an amount equal to the Company Discretionary Contribution Amount, if any, applicable to that Participant that is the proportion of the Company Discretionary Contribution Amount, if any, or Company Matching Contribution Amount, if any, that the Participant elected to be deemed to be invested in a certain type of investment; and

(b) Each business day if valued daily, or each month, if valued monthly, each investment fund subaccount of a Participant’s Company Contribution Account shall be credited with earnings or losses in an amount equal to that determined by multiplying the balance credited to such investment fund subaccount as of the prior day, if valued daily, or prior month, if valued monthly, plus contributions credited that day to the investment fund subaccount by the Interest Rate for the corresponding Fund selected by the Company pursuant to Section 3.2(b).

4.3Trust Funding.

The Company may create a Trust with an institutional Trustee. If so created, the Company shall cause the Trust to be funded each year. The Company shall contribute to the Trust an amount equal to (1) the amount deferred by each Participant; (2) the aggregate amount of Company Discretionary Contribution Amounts, if any; and (3) the aggregate amount of Company Matching Contribution Amounts for the Plan Year, if any, less required Distributable Amounts.

Although the principal of the Trust and any earnings thereon shall be held separate and apart from other funds of Company and shall be used exclusively for the uses and purposes of Plan Participants and Beneficiaries as set forth therein, neither the Participants nor their Beneficiaries shall have any preferred claim on, or any beneficial ownership in, any assets of the Trust prior to the time such assets are paid to the Participants or Beneficiaries as benefits and all rights created under this Plan shall be unsecured contractual rights of Plan Participants

-7-

and Beneficiaries against the Company. Any assets held in the Trust will be subject to the claims of Company’s general creditors under federal and state law in the event of insolvency as defined in the Trust agreement.

The assets of the Plan and Trust shall never inure to the benefit of the Company and the same shall be held for the exclusive purpose of providing benefits to Participants and their Beneficiaries and for deferring reasonable expenses of administering the Plan and Trust.

ARTICLE V

VESTING

A Participant shall be 100% vested in his or her Deferral Account, Company Discretionary Contribution Amount, if any, and Company Matching Contribution Amount, if any.

ARTICLE VI

The Participant’s Account shall continue to be credited with earnings pursuant to Section 4.1 of the Plan until all amounts credited to his or her Account under the Plan have been distributed.

(c)Post-Termination Death Benefit. In the event a Participant dies after his or her termination of employment with the Company and still has a vested balance in his or her Account, the vested balance of such Account shall be paid to the Beneficiary, in a lump sum if

-8-

no valid optional benefit election is in effect for the deceased Participant, or in continued annual installments for the remainder of the period in accordance with the election previously made by the Participant.

(d)Continuation of Employment with Related Employer. A Participant, as defined in Section 1.1(u), who transfers employment from the Company to a related business entity shall be deemed not to have terminated employment with the Company for purposes of this Section 6.1.

6.2In-Service Distribution With Scheduled Withdrawal Date.

In the case of a Participant who has elected a Scheduled Withdrawal Date for a distribution while still in the employ of the Company, such Participant shall receive his or her Distributable Amount, but only with respect to those deferrals of Compensation, vested Matching Contribution Amounts and vested Company Discretionary Contribution Amounts and earnings on such deferrals of Compensation, Matching Contribution Amounts and Company Discretionary Contribution Amounts as shall have been elected by the Participant to be subject to the Scheduled Withdrawal Date in accordance with Section 1.1 (y) of the Plan. A Participant’s Scheduled Withdrawal Date with respect to deferrals of Compensation, Matching Contribution Amounts and Company Discretionary Contribution Amounts deferred in a given Plan Year can be no earlier than one year from the end of the Plan Year for which the deferrals of Compensation, Matching Contribution Amounts and Company Discretionary Contribution Amounts are made. A Participant may extend the Scheduled Withdrawal Date for any Plan Year by so indicating on a form provided by and submitted to the Committee, provided such form is submitted to the Committee at least one year before the Scheduled Withdrawal Date. The Participant shall have the right to twice so modify any Scheduled Withdrawal Date. In the event a Participant terminates employment with Company prior to a Scheduled Withdrawal Date, other than by reason of death, the portion of the Participant’s Account associated with a Scheduled Withdrawal Date, which has not occurred prior to such termination, shall be distributed in a lump sum.

6.3In-Service Distribution Without Scheduled Withdrawal Date.

A Participant shall be permitted to elect an Early Distribution from his or her Account prior to the Payment Date, subject to the following restrictions:

(a) The election to take an Early Distribution shall be made by filing a form provided by and filed with the Committee.

(b) The amount of the Early Distribution shall equal up to 90% of his or her vested Account balance.

(c) The amount described in subsection (b) above shall be paid in a single cash lump sum as soon as practicable after the end of the calendar month in which the Early Distribution election is made, and based upon the account valuations as of the previous quarter.

(d) If a Participant requests an Early Distribution of his or her entire vested Account, the remaining balance of his or her Account (10% of the Account) shall be permanently

-9-

forfeited and the Company shall have no obligation to the Participant or his or her Beneficiary with respect to such forfeited amount. If a Participant receives an Early Distribution of less than his or her entire vested Account, such Participant shall forfeit 10% of the gross amount to be distributed from the Participant’s Account and the Company shall have no obligation to the Participant or his or her Beneficiary with respect to such forfeited amount.

(e) If a Participant receives an Early Distribution of either all or a part of his or her Account, the Participant will be ineligible to participate in the Plan for at least 12 consecutive months following the date of distribution. Such Participant may resume contributions to the Plan at the beginning of the calendar quarter following the 12 months of ineligibility. All distributions shall be made on a pro rata basis from among a Participant’s Accounts.

6.4Inability to Locate a Participant.

In the event the Committee is unable to locate a Participant or Beneficiary within two years following the required Payment Date, the amount allocated to the Participant’s Deferral Account shall be forfeited. If, after such forfeiture, the Participant or Beneficiary later claims such benefit, such benefit shall be reinstated without interest or earnings.

Participants and their Beneficiaries, heirs, successors, and assigns shall have no legal or equitable rights, claims, or interest in any specific property or assets of the Company.

Any and all of the Company’s assets shall be, and remain, the general unpledged, unrestricted assets of the Company. The Company’s obligation under the Plan shall be merely that of an unfunded and unsecured promise of the Company to pay money in the future, and the rights of the Participants and Beneficiaries shall be no greater than those of unsecured general creditors.

8.2Restriction Against Assignment.

There shall be deducted from each payment made under the Plan to the Participant (or Beneficiary) all taxes that are required to be withheld by the Company in respect to such payment or this Plan.
