MIRANT SERVICES
BARGAINING UNIT EMPLOYEE SAVINGS PLAN
As Amended and Restated Effective January 1, 2004
ARTICLE I
PURPOSE
The purpose of the Plan is to encourage employee thrift, to create added
employee interest in the affairs of Mirant Corporation, to supplement retirement
and death benefits, and to create a competitive compensation program for
employees through the establishment of a formal plan under which contributions
by and on behalf of Participants are supplemented by contributions of Employing
Companies. The Company is the plan sponsor of the Plan. This Plan is intended to
qualify under Code Section 401(a), and all contributions made by an Employing
Company to this Plan are expressly conditioned upon the deductibility of such
contributions under Code Section 404.
To the extent that different terms and conditions are necessary to reflect
the benefits to be provided to each Eligible Employee, such terms and conditions
shall be set forth in Article XVII, XVIII, XIX or a schedule attached hereto and
incorporated into the Plan and shall supersede any inconsistent provisions
otherwise set forth herein. Any such schedule shall reflect the collective
bargaining unit to which it applies, the effective date and the Plan Section or
Sections to which it applies. Any amendment to such schedule shall be considered
an amendment to the Plan and shall be subject to Section 15.1 hereof.
The Plan was last amended and restated in its entirety effective as of
April 2, 2001 and thereafter amended from time to time. In order to incorporate
these amendments into the body of the Plan and to make the various changes in
the Plan set forth herein, the Company hereby again amends and restates the Plan
in its entirety, effective as of January 1, 2004, in accordance with the
following terms and conditions:

ARTICLE II
DEFINITIONS
All references to articles, sections, subsections, and paragraphs shall be
to articles, sections, subsections, and paragraphs of this Plan unless another
reference is expressly set forth in this Plan. Any words used in the masculine
shall be read and be construed in the feminine where they would so apply. Words
in the singular shall be read and construed in the plural, and all words in the
plural shall be read and construed in the singular in all cases where they would
so apply.
For purposes of this Plan, unless otherwise required by the context, the
following terms shall have the meanings set forth opposite such terms:
2.1 "Account" shall mean the total amount credited to the account of a
Participant, as described in Section 9.1.
2.2 "Actual Deferral Percentage" shall mean the ratio (expressed as a
percentage) of Elective Employer Contributions on behalf of an Eligible
Participant for the Plan Year to the Eligible Participant's compensation for the
Plan Year. For the purpose of determining an Eligible Participant's Actual
Deferral Percentage for a Plan Year, the Committee may elect to consider an
Eligible Participant's compensation for (a) the entire Plan Year or (b) that
portion of the Plan Year in which the Eligible Participant was eligible to have
Elective Employer Contributions made on his behalf, provided that such election
is applied uniformly to all Eligible Participants for the Plan Year. The Actual
Deferral Percentage of an Eligible Participant who does not have Elective
Employer Contributions made on his behalf shall be zero.
2.3 "Actual Deferral Percentage Test" shall mean the test described in
Section 4.5(a).

2.5 "Annual Addition" shall mean the amount allocated to a Participant's
Account and accounts under all defined contribution plans maintained by the

earlier than the expiration of the second anniversary of the first date of such
absence; provided, however, that the twelve-consecutive-month period beginning

maternity or paternity reasons means an absence (a) by reason of the pregnancy
of the Employee, (b) by reason of a birth of a child of the Employee, (c) by
reason of the placement of a child with the Employee in connection with the
adoption of such child by such Employee, or (d) for purposes of caring for such
child for a period beginning immediately following such birth or placement.
2.10 "Code" shall mean the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or

13.1 to serve as plan administrator.
2.12 "Company" shall mean Mirant Services, LLC, and its successors.

2.22 "Employee" shall mean each individual who is employed by an
Affiliated Employer under common law and each individual who is required to be

Plan, any such reference automatically shall become a reference to such section
as renumbered.
2.27 "Excess Deferral Amount" shall mean the amount of Elective Employer

contributions. Such offset shall take place as of the first administratively
practicable Valuation Date after the Forfeiture occurs.
2.30 "Highly Compensated Employee" shall mean (in accordance with and
subject to Code Section 414(q) and any regulations, rulings, notices or

and for short Plan Years, pursuant to Code Section 414(q). In determining

ARTICLE III
PARTICIPATION
3.1 ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS. Each individual who was a Participant on
April 2, 2001 will continue to participate in the Plan. Each other Eligible
Employee may elect to participate in the Plan as of any Enrollment Date after he
has completed a Year of Service, or such earlier time if so provided in Article
XVII or a schedule attached hereto for his collective bargaining unit. An
Eligible Employee shall make an election to participate by authorizing
deductions from or reduction of his Compensation as contributions to the Plan in
accordance with Article IV, and directing the investment of such contributions
in accordance with Article VIII. Such Compensation deduction and/or reduction
authorization and investment direction shall be made in accordance with the
procedures established from time to time by the Committee.
3.2 PARTICIPATION UPON REEMPLOYMENT. If an Eligible Employee terminates
his employment with an Affiliated Employer and is subsequently reemployed as an
Eligible Employee, whether before or after he incurs a One-Year Break in
Service, he shall be eligible to become an active Participant in the Plan as of
the date of his reemployment.
3.3 CHANGE IN ELIGIBILITY. In the event that an Employee's status
changes such that he is no longer eligible to participate under the Mirant
Services Employee Savings Plan, but instead becomes an Eligible Employee under
this Plan, his pre-tax, after-tax, matching and/or rollover contribution
accounts under such plan shall be transferred to his corresponding Elective
Employer Contribution, Voluntary Participant Contribution, Employer Matching
Contribution and/or Rollover Contribution subaccounts in his Account under this
Plan. All amounts transferred to this Plan in accordance with this Section 3.3,
including the outstanding balance of any loans, shall be subject to all of the
other provisions of this Plan. Any outstanding loan transferred with such
accounts shall be considered a loan from this Plan pursuant to Section 11.7
hereof. Finally, no such transfer shall eliminate an optional form of benefit in
violation of Code Section 411(d)(6).
3.4 LOSS OF ELIGIBLE EMPLOYEE STATUS. If a Participant loses his status
as an Eligible Employee, but remains an Employee, such Participant shall be
ineligible to participate and shall be deemed to have elected to suspend making
Voluntary Participant Contributions or to have Elective Employer Contributions
made on his behalf.
3.5 ROLLOVERS FROM OTHER PLANS. An Eligible Employee who has received a
distribution of his interest in a tax qualified retirement plan, an annuity
contract described in Section 403(b) of the Code; or an eligible plan under
Section 457 of the Code of a former employer or from an individual retirement
account or annuity described in section 408(a) or 408(b) of the Code may elect
to deposit all or any portion (as designated by such Eligible Employee) of the
amount of such distribution which qualifies as a Rollover Contribution in this
Plan. The Committee shall establish rules and procedures to implement this
Section 3.5, including without limitation, such procedures as may be appropriate
to permit the Committee to verify the tax qualified status of the plan or
annuity of the former employer and compliance with any applicable provisions of
the Code relating to such contributions. The amount contributed to
10
<Page>
the Trustee pursuant to this Section 3.5 shall be placed in the Eligible
Employee's Rollover Contribution subaccount for the benefit of the Eligible
Employee pursuant to Section 9.1. The Eligible Employee shall have a fully
vested interest in the balance of his Rollover Contribution subaccount at all
times and such Rollover Contribution subaccount shall share in the earnings,
gains, and losses of the Trust Fund as set forth in Article IX of the Plan. An
Employee shall be entitled to a distribution of his Rollover Contribution
subaccount pursuant to the applicable provisions of Articles XI and XII hereof.
3.6 MILITARY LEAVE. Notwithstanding any provision of the 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.

ARTICLE IV
ELECTIVE EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTIONS AND
VOLUNTARY PARTICIPANT CONTRIBUTIONS
4.1 ELECTIVE EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTIONS. An Eligible Employee who meets the
participation requirements of Article III may elect in accordance with the
procedures established by the Committee to have his Compensation reduced as
provided in Article XVII or a schedule attached hereto for his collective
bargaining unit, such Elective Employer Contribution to be contributed to his
Account under the Plan.
4.2 MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF ELECTIVE EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTIONS. The maximum
amount of Elective Employer Contributions that may be made on behalf of a
Participant during any Plan Year to this Plan or any other qualified plan
maintained by an Employing Company shall not exceed the dollar limitation set
forth in Section 402(g) of the Code in effect at the beginning of such Plan
Year.
4.3 DISTRIBUTION OF EXCESS DEFERRAL AMOUNTS.
(a) IN GENERAL. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan,
Excess Deferral Amounts and income allocable thereto shall be distributed
(and any corresponding Employer Matching Contributions shall be forfeited)
no later than April 15th of each Plan Year, to Participants who allocate
(or are deemed to allocate) such amounts to this Plan pursuant to (b) below
for the preceding calendar year. Excess Deferral Amounts that are
distributed shall not be treated as an Annual Addition. Any Employer
Matching Contributions forfeited pursuant to this subsection (a) shall be
applied, subject to Section 6.1, toward funding Employing Company
contributions (for the Plan Year immediately following the Plan Year to
which such forfeited Employer Matching Contributions relate) or
distributed, as directed by the Committee, to the extent permitted by
applicable law.
(b) ASSIGNMENT. The Participant's allocation of amounts in excess
of the Code Section 402(g) limits to this Plan shall be in writing; shall
be submitted to the Committee no later than March 1st; shall specify the
Participant's Excess Deferral Amount for the preceding Plan Year; and shall
be accompanied by the Participant's written statement that if such amounts
are not distributed, such Excess Deferral Amount, when added to amounts
deferred under other plans or arrangements described in Section 401(k),
408(k), 408(p), 402(h)(1)(B), 457, 501(c)(18), or 403(b) of the Code,
exceeds the limit imposed on the Participant by Section 402(g) of the Code
for the year in which the deferral occurred. A Participant is deemed to
notify the Committee of any Excess Deferral Amounts that arise by taking
into account only those deferrals under this Plan and any other plans of an
Affiliated Employer.
(c) DETERMINATION OF INCOME OR LOSS. The Excess Deferral Amount
distributed to a Participant with respect to a calendar year shall be
adjusted for income or loss through the last day of the Plan Year or the
date of distribution, as determined by the Committee. The income or loss
allocable to Excess Deferral Amounts is the sum of:
12
<Page>
(1) income or loss allocated to the Participant's Account for
the taxable year multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is
such Participant's Excess Deferral Amount for the year and the
denominator of which is the Participant's Account balance
attributable to Elective Employer Contributions, minus any income or
plus any loss occurring during the Plan Year; and
(2) if the Committee shall determine in its sole discretion,
ten percent (10%) of the amount determined under (1) above
multiplied by the number of whole calendar months between the end of
the Plan Year and the date of the distribution, counting the month
of distribution if distribution occurs after the 15th of the month.
Notwithstanding the above, the Committee may designate any
reasonable method for computing the income or loss allocable to
Excess Deferral Amounts, provided that the method does not violate
Section 401(a)(4) of the Code, is used consistently for all
Participants and for all corrective distributions under the Plan for
the Plan Year, and is used by the Plan for allocating income or loss
to Participants' Accounts.
(d) MAXIMUM DISTRIBUTION AMOUNT. The Excess Deferral Amount, which
would otherwise be distributed to the Participant, shall, if there is a
loss allocable to such Excess Deferral Amount, in no event be less than the
lesser of the Participant's Account under the Plan attributable to Elective
Employer Contributions or the Participant's Elective Employer Contributions
for the Plan Year.
4.4 ADDITIONAL RULES REGARDING ELECTIVE EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTIONS. Salary
reduction agreements shall be governed by the following:
(a) A salary reduction agreement shall apply to payroll periods
during which such salary reduction agreement is in effect. The Committee,
in its discretion, may establish administrative procedures whereby the
actual reduction in Compensation may be made to coincide with each payroll
period of the Employing Company, or at such other times as the Committee
may determine.
(b) The Committee may amend or revoke its salary reduction
agreement with any Participant at any time, if the Committee determines
that such revocation or amendment is necessary to ensure that a
Participant's additions for any Plan Year will not exceed the limitations
of Sections 4.2 and 6.1 of the Plan or to ensure that the Actual Deferral
Percentage Test is satisfied.
(c) Except as required under Section 4.4(b) above, and under
Section 4.5(c) below, no amounts attributable to Elective Employer
Contributions may be distributed to a Participant or his Beneficiary from
his Account prior to the earlier of:
13
<Page>
(1) the termination of employment, death or disability of the
Participant;
(2) the attainment of age 59 1/2by the Participant;
(3) the termination of the Plan without establishment of a
successor plan;
(4) a financial hardship of the Participant pursuant to
Section 11.6 of the Plan;
(5) the date of a sale by an Employing Company to an entity
that is not an Affiliated Employer of substantially all of the
assets (within the meaning of Code Section 409(d)(2)) with respect
to a Participant who continues employment with the corporation
acquiring such assets; or
(6) the date of the sale by an Employing Company or an
Affiliated Employer of its interest in a subsidiary (within the
meaning of Code Section 409(d)(3)) to an entity that is not an
Affiliated Employer with respect to the Participant who continues
employment with such subsidiary.
4.5 SECTION 401(k) NONDISCRIMINATION TESTS.
(a) ACTUAL DEFERRAL PERCENTAGE TEST. The Plan shall satisfy the
nondiscrimination test of Section 401(k)(3) of the Code, under which no
Elective Employer Contributions shall be made that would cause the Actual
Deferral Percentage for Eligible Participants who are Highly Compensated
Employees to exceed either subsection 4.5(a)(1) or (2) as follows:
(1) The Average Actual Deferral Percentage for the Eligible
Participants who are Highly Compensated Employees in the current
Plan Year shall not exceed the Average Actual Deferral Percentage
for the prior Plan Year for Eligible Participants who were
Non-Highly Compensated Employees for the prior Plan Year multiplied
by 1.25; or
(2) The Average Actual Deferral Percentage for Eligible
Participants who are Highly Compensated Employees in the current
Plan Year shall not exceed the Average Actual Deferral Percentage
for Eligible Participants who were Non-Highly Compensated Employees
in the prior Plan Year multiplied by two (2), provided that the
Average Actual Deferral Percentage for Eligible Participants who are
Highly Compensated Employees in the current Plan Year does not
exceed the Average Actual Deferral Percentage for the prior Plan
Year for Eligible Participants who were Non-Highly Compensated
Employees in the prior Plan Year by more than two (2) percentage
points.
14
<Page>
At the election of the Committee, and upon amendment to the
Plan, the current year Average Actual Deferral Percentage for
current year Non-Highly Compensated Employees may be substituted for
the prior year Average Actual Deferral Percentage. However, once an
election is made to utilize such current year Average Actual
Deferral Percentage in determining the Actual Deferral Percentage,
the Committee may not revoke such election without the approval of
the Internal Revenue Service, to the extent required under Code
Section 401(k)(3)(A).
(b) DISTRIBUTION OF EXCESS DEFERRAL CONTRIBUTIONS.
(1) IN GENERAL. The Excess Deferral Contributions for a
Highly Compensated Employee for a Plan Year that are to be
distributed shall be distributed such that the Highly Compensated
Employee with the highest amount of Elective Employer Contributions
for the Plan Year shall be reduced to the extent required to:
(A) distribute the total amount of Excess Deferral
Contributions, or
(B) cause the amount of such Highly Compensated
Employee's Elective Employer Contributions to equal the amount
of Elective Employer Contributions of the Highly Compensated
Employee with the next highest amount of Elective Employer
Contributions for the Plan Year.
This process must be repeated until all Excess Deferral
Contributions are distributed.
Excess Deferral Contributions plus any income and minus any
loss allocable thereto shall be distributed (and any corresponding
Employer Matching Contribution shall be forfeited) to Participants
on whose behalf such Excess Deferral Contributions were made within
two and one-half (2 1/2) months after the last day of the Plan Year
in which such excess amounts arose, and in any event not later than
the last day of the Plan Year following the close of the Plan Year
for which such contributions were made. Distribution of Excess
Deferral Contributions shall be made to Highly Compensated Employees
in accordance with this Section 4.5(b). Any Employer Matching
Contributions forfeited pursuant to this Subsection (b)(1) shall be
applied, subject to Section 6.1, toward funding Employing Company
contributions (for the Plan Year immediately following the Plan Year
to which such forfeited Employer Matching Contributions relate) or
distributed, as directed by the Committee, to the extent permitted
by applicable law.
(2) DETERMINATION OF INCOME OR LOSS. Excess Deferral
Contributions to be distributed shall be adjusted for any income or
loss through the last day of the Plan Year or the date of
distribution, as determined by the Committee. The income or loss
allocable to such Excess Deferral Contributions is the sum of:
15
<Page>
(A) income or loss allocated to the Participant's
Account for the taxable year multiplied by a fraction, the
numerator of which is the Participant's Excess Deferral
Contributions to be distributed for the year and the
denominator is the Participant's Account balance attributable
to Elective Employer Contributions, minus any income or plus
any loss occurring during the Plan Year; and
(B) if the Committee shall determine in its sole
discretion, ten percent (10%) of the amount determined under
(A) above multiplied by the number of whole calendar months
between the end of the Plan Year and the date of the
distribution, counting the month of distribution if
distribution occurs after the 15th of the month.
Notwithstanding the above, the Committee may designate any
reasonable method for computing the income or loss allocable to
Excess Deferral Contributions, provided that the method does not
violate Section 401(a)(4) of the Code, is used consistently for all
Participants and for all corrective distributions under the Plan for
the Plan Year, and is used by the Plan for allocating income or loss
to Participants' Accounts.
(3) MAXIMUM DISTRIBUTION AMOUNT. The Excess Deferral
Contributions which would otherwise be distributed to the
Participant shall be adjusted for income; shall be reduced, in
accordance with regulations, by the Excess Deferral Amount
distributed to the Participant; and shall, if there is a loss
allocable to the Excess Deferral Contributions, in no event be less
than the lesser of the Participant's Account under the Plan
attributable to Elective Employer Contributions or the Participant's
Elective Employer Contributions for the Plan Year.
(c) SPECIAL RULES.
(1) For purposes of this Section 4.5, the Actual Deferral
Percentage for any Eligible Participant who is a Highly Compensated
Employee for the Plan Year and who is eligible to have deferral
contributions allocated to his account under two (2) or more plans
or arrangements described in Section 401(k) of the Code that are
maintained by an Affiliated Employer shall be determined as if all
such deferral contributions were made under a single arrangement. If
a Highly Compensated Employee participates in two (2) or more cash
or deferred arrangements that have different plan years, all cash or
deferred arrangements ending with or within the same calendar year
shall be treated as a single arrangement. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, certain plans shall be treated as separate if mandatorily
disaggregated under Code Section 401(k).
(2) In the event that this Plan satisfies the requirements of
Code Section 401(k), 401(a)(4), or 410(b) only if aggregated with
one or more other plans, or if one or more other plans satisfy the
requirements of Code Section 401(k), 401(a)(4),
16
<Page>
or 410(b) only if aggregated with this Plan, then the actual
deferral percentages shall be determined as if all such plans were a
single plan.
(3) The determination and treatment of the Elective Employer
Contributions and Actual Deferral Percentage of any Eligible
Participant shall satisfy such other requirements as may be
prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury.
4.6 VOLUNTARY PARTICIPANT CONTRIBUTIONS. An Eligible Employee who meets
the participation requirements of Article III may elect in accordance with the
procedures established by the Committee to contribute to his Account a Voluntary
Participant Contribution as provided in Article XVII or a schedule attached
hereto for his collective bargaining unit. The maximum Voluntary Participant
Contribution shall be reduced by the percent, if any, that is contributed as an
Elective Employer Contribution on behalf of such Participant under Section 4.1.
4.7 MANNER AND TIME OF PAYMENT OF ELECTIVE EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTIONS AND
VOLUNTARY PARTICIPANT CONTRIBUTIONS. Contributions made in accordance with
Sections 4.1 and 4.6 will be rounded to the next higher multiple of one dollar
based on a procedure adopted by the Committee. They will be made only through
payroll deductions and will be effective as of the payroll period commencing as
soon as practicable after the date on which the Participant elects to commence
participation in the Plan. Contributions shall be remitted to the Trustee as of
the earliest date on which such contributions can reasonably be segregated from
each Employing Company's general assets, but in any event within the time period
prescribed by applicable law.
4.8 CHANGE IN CONTRIBUTION RATE. A Participant may prospectively change
the percentage of his Compensation that he has authorized as the Elective
Employer Contribution to be made on his behalf or his Voluntary Participant
Contribution to another permissible percentage in accordance with the procedures
established by the Committee. Such election shall be effective as soon as
practicable after it is made.
4.9 CHANGE IN CONTRIBUTION AMOUNT. In the event of a change in the
Compensation of a Participant, the percentage of the Elective Employer
Contribution made on his behalf or his Voluntary Participant Contribution
currently in effect shall be applied as soon as practicable with respect to such
changed Compensation without action by the Participant.
4.10 CATCH-UP CONTRIBUTIONS.
(a) The term "Catch-Up Contributions" shall mean the contributions
under this Section 4.10 made by the Employer during the Plan Year at the
election of the Participant in lieu of cash compensation and pursuant to a
salary reduction agreement.
(b) Effective for Plan Years beginning on and after January 1,
2002, a Participant who is eligible to make Elective Employer Contributions
and who attains age fifty (50) prior to the end of the applicable Plan Year
may make a Catch-Up Contribution in accordance with, and subject to the
limitations of, Section 414(v) of the Code. Such
17
<Page>
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. 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 of the Code, as
applicable, by reason of the allowance of such Catch-Up Contributions.
(c) Catch-Up Contributions shall not be taken into consideration
for purposes of determining the amount of Employer Matching Contributions.
(d) Catch-Up Contributions shall be credited to a subaccount under
an Employee's Elective Employer Contribution Subaccount, and shall be
initially invested in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.2.
18
<Page>
ARTICLE V
EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTIONS
5.1 AMOUNT OF EMPLOYER MATCHING CONTRIBUTIONS. Subject to the provisions
of Sections 6.1 and 6.2, each Employing Company shall contribute an Employer
Matching Contribution on behalf of each Participant in its employ as provided in
Article XVII or a schedule attached hereto for his collective bargaining unit.
The Employer Matching Contribution shall be allocated first to the Elective
Employer Contributions made on a Participant's behalf. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in the event a Participant is eligible to elect to have Elective
Employer Contributions and Voluntary Participant Contributions allocated to his
Account prior to his eligibility for allocation of Employer Matching
Contributions, only such Elective Employer Contributions and Voluntary
Participant Contributions as are allocated to the Participant's Account after
his eligibility for Employer Matching Contributions shall be taken into account
in determining the amount of Employer Matching Contributions to be allocated to
the Participant's Account for a Plan Year. If, as determined as of the end of a
Plan Year, a Participant received Employer Matching Contributions of less than
the maximum percentage of his Compensation allowable (as specified in Article
XVII or a schedule attached hereto) for the Plan Year because of limitations
imposed on a payroll period basis, the Employing Company may make an additional
Employer Matching Contribution on behalf of such Participant, not to exceed the
maximum percentage of his Compensation allowable (as specified in Article XVII
or a schedule attached hereto) for the Plan Year.
5.2 PAYMENT OF EMPLOYER MATCHING CONTRIBUTIONS. Except as provided
herein, Employer Matching Contributions shall be remitted to the Trustee as soon
as practicable after the payroll period to which they relate.
5.3 DISCRETIONARY PROFIT SHARING CONTRIBUTION. Each Employing Company
may, in its sole and absolute discretion, make an annual Discretionary Profit
Sharing Contribution to each Allocation Group for the Accounts of Participants
in its employ as provided in Article XVII or a schedule attached hereto for a
Participant's collective bargaining unit, provided such Participants have
satisfied the eligibility requirements of Section 3.1 and are Eligible Employees
as of the last day of the Plan Year for which such Discretionary Profit Sharing
Contribution relates. The Discretionary Profit Sharing Contribution may be made
in a whole dollar amount or as a percentage of the Compensation of each Eligible
Participant eligible to receive an allocation of such Discretionary Profit
Sharing Contribution under this Section 5.3, and may be made without regard to
the current or accumulated net profits of the Employer. Compensation for
purposes of this Section 5.3 shall mean a Participant's Compensation hereunder
plus any short-term incentive bonus payments under the Mirant Corporation
Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan, to the extent such payments do not exceed
150% of the Participant's Compensation as defined under Section 2.13 herein.
Discretionary Profit Sharing Contributions shall be paid to the Trustee no later
than the time prescribed by law for filing the federal income tax return of the
Employing Company, including extensions, for the taxable year ending within the
Plan Year for the Discretionary Profit Sharing Contribution in question.
Discretionary Profit Sharing Contributions will be allocated to each Eligible
Participant's Discretionary Profit Sharing Contribution subaccount in accordance
with the following provisions:
19
<Page>
(a) The Discretionary Profit Sharing made for an Allocation Group
will be allocated to the Account of each Eligible Participant who is a
member of that Allocation Group in the ratio that the Compensation of each
Eligible Participant who is a member of that Allocation Group bears to the
total Compensation of all Eligible Participants who are members of that
Allocation Group.
(b) The term "Allocation Group" shall mean the defined groups of
Eligible Participants as set forth on Appendix B to the Plan, as updated
from time to time.
5.4 REVERSION OF EMPLOYING COMPANY CONTRIBUTIONS. Employing Company
contributions computed in accordance with the provisions of this Plan shall
revert to the Employing Company under the following circumstances:
(a) In the case of an Employing Company contribution that is made
by reason of a mistake of fact, upon written direction of the Employing
Company, such contribution shall be returned to the Employing Company
within one year after the payment of the contribution.
(b) If any Employing Company contribution is determined to be
nondeductible under Section 404 of the Code, upon written direction of the
Employing Company, such Employing Company contribution, to the extent that
it is determined to be nondeductible, shall be returned to the Employing
Company within one year after the disallowance of the deduction.
(c) If the Plan receives an adverse determination with respect to
its initial qualification under the Code, the Employing Company
contributions shall be returned to the Employing Company within one year of
the date of such disqualification.
The amount which may be returned to the Employing Company under this
Section 5.3(a) and (b) is the excess of (1) the amount contributed over (2) the
amount that would have been contributed had there not occurred a mistake of fact
or disallowance of the deduction. Earnings attributable to the excess
contribution shall not be returned to the Employing Company, but losses
attributable thereto shall reduce the amount to be so returned. If the
withdrawal of the amount attributable to the mistaken contribution would cause
the balance of the Account of any Participant to be reduced to less than the
balance which would have been in the Account had the mistaken amount not been
contributed, then the amount to be returned to the Employing Company shall be
limited so as to avoid such reduction.
20

5.5 CORRECTION OF PRIOR INCORRECT ALLOCATIONS AND DISTRIBUTIONS.
Notwithstanding any provisions contained herein to the contrary, in the event
that, as of any Valuation Date, adjustments are required in any Participants'
Accounts to correct any incorrect allocation of contributions or investment
earnings or losses, or such other discrepancies in Account balances that may
have occurred previously, the Employing Companies may make additional
contributions to the Plan to be applied to correct such incorrect allocations or
discrepancies. The additional contributions shall be allocated by the Committee
to adjust such Participants' Accounts to the value which would have existed on
said Valuation Date had there been no prior incorrect allocation or
discrepancies. The Committee shall also be authorized to take such other actions
as it deems necessary to correct prior incorrect allocations or discrepancies in
the Accounts of Participants under the Plan.

ARTICLE VI
LIMITATIONS ON CONTRIBUTIONS
6.1 SECTION 415 LIMITATIONS.
(a) Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, the
total Annual Additions allocated to the Account (and the accounts under all
defined contribution plans maintained by an Affiliated Employer) of a
Participant for any Limitation Year in accordance with Code Section 415 and
the regulations thereunder, which are incorporated herein by this
reference, shall not exceed the lesser of the following amounts:
(1) one-hundred percent (100%) of the Participant's
compensation in the Limitation Year; or
(2) $40,000 (as such amount may be adjusted from time to time
pursuant to Code Section 415(d)).
(b) For purposes of this Section 6.1, wherever the term
"compensation" is used, such term shall mean compensation as defined in
Code Section 415(c)(3) and any rulings and regulations thereunder.
6.2 CORRECTION OF CONTRIBUTIONS IN EXCESS OF SECTION 415 LIMITS. If the
Annual Additions for a Participant exceed the limits of Section 6.1 as a result
of the allocation of forfeitures, if any, a reasonable error in estimating a
Participant's annual compensation for purposes of the Plan, a reasonable error
in determining the amount of elective deferrals (within the meaning of Section
402(g)(3) of the Code) that may be made with respect to any individual, or under
other limited facts and circumstances that the Commissioner of the Treasury
finds justify the availability of the rules set forth in this Section 6.2, the
excess amounts shall not be deemed Annual Additions if they are treated in
accordance with any one or more or any combination of the following:
(a) return to the Participant that portion, or all, of his Voluntary
Participant Contributions (as adjusted for income and loss) as is necessary to
ensure compliance with Section 6.1;
(b) distribute to the Participant that portion, or all, of his Elective
Employer Contributions (as adjusted for income and loss) as is necessary to
ensure compliance with Section 6.1; and
(c) forfeiture of that portion, or all, of the Employer Matching
Contributions (as adjusted for income and loss) and any forfeitures of Employer
contributions that were allocated to the Participant's Account (as adjusted for
income and loss) as is necessary to ensure compliance with Section 6.1.
(d) forfeiture of that portion, or all, of the Discretionary Profit
Sharing Contributions
22
<Page>
that were allocated to the Participant's Account (as adjusted for income and

Company contribution. Such application shall be made prior to any Employing
Company contributions that would constitute Annual Additions. No income or
investment gains and losses shall be allocated to the suspense account provided

amounts necessary to pay any federal, state, or local income taxes
or penalties reasonably anticipated to result from the distribution;

Matching Contributions by his Employing Company also shall be resumed.
There shall be no make up of any contributions by a Participant or by an
Employing Company with respect to a period of suspension.
(e) Notwithstanding (a) above, if a Participant has attained age

meaning of Code Section 401(k)(2)(B)(i)(I)), he shall be permitted to make
a withdrawal pursuant to Section 11.1(a)(2), even if such withdrawal is not
on account of hardship.
11.7 LOANS TO PARTICIPANTS.
(a) The Committee may, in its sole discretion, direct the Trustee
to make a loan or loans from the Trust Fund to any Participant (other than
a Participant with an existing Plan loan in arrears) (1) who is an Employee
on the active payroll of an Employing Company, (2) who is receiving
long-term disability payments under a plan maintained by his Employing
Company, (3) who is on a leave of absence authorized by his Employing
Company, or (4) who is a party in interest as defined in Section 3(14) of
ERISA. All loan applications shall be made in accordance with the
procedures established by the Committee, which shall form a part of this
Plan. Such procedures shall establish the terms and
32
<Page>
conditions of loans under the Plan, including the events constituting
default, and shall be consistent with the provisions of this Section 11.7.
(b) The total amount of all loans outstanding to any one
Participant under all qualified plans maintained by an Affiliated Employer
shall not exceed the lesser of (1) $50,000, reduced by the excess of the
highest outstanding balance of loans from all qualified plans maintained by
an Affiliated Employer during the twelve-month period ending on the day
before a loan is made, over the outstanding balance of any loans to the
Participant from all qualified plans maintained by an Affiliated Employer
on the date the loan is made, or (2) fifty percent (50%) of such
Participant's Account (excluding the value of such Participant's
Discretionary Profit Sharing Contributions subaccount) as of the Valuation
Date coinciding with or next following the date the loan application is
made. The minimum amount of any loan shall not equal less than $1,000.
(c) The order of priority of Investment Fund(s) from which the
principal amount of the loan shall be obtained shall be pro rata, provided,
however, no funds attributable to a Participant's Discretionary Profit
Sharing Contributions subaccount shall be available for loans.
(d) The Committee shall adopt and follow uniform and
nondiscriminatory procedures in making loans under this Plan to make
certain that such loans (1) are available to all Participants on a
reasonably equivalent basis, (2) are not made available to Highly
Compensated Employees, officers, or shareholders in an amount greater than
the amount made available to other Participants, (3) bear a reasonable rate
of interest, and (4) are adequately secured. The repayment of such loans by
any Participant who is an Employee on the active payroll of an Employing
Company shall be made through payroll deduction. Any loan repayment shall
extend for a period, not to exceed five (5) years, expressed in any number
of whole months (including the month the loan is made). The term of any
loan may be for a period certain of more than five (5) years, but not to
exceed fifteen (15) years, only if the proceeds of such loan are used to
acquire any dwelling used or, within a reasonable period of time, to be
used as the principal residence of the Participant.
(e) The Committee shall direct the Trustee to obtain from the
Participant such note and adequate security as it may require. All loans
made pursuant to this Section 11.7 shall be secured by the Participant's
Account, and no other types of collateral may be used to secure a loan from
the Plan. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 16.2, if a Participant
defaults on a loan under the Plan or if the Participant's employment
terminates prior to full repayment thereof, in addition to any other remedy
provided in the loan instruments or by law, the Committee may direct the
Trustee to charge against that portion of the Participant's Account which
secures the loan the amount required to fully repay the loan. Under no
circumstances, however, shall any unpaid loan be charged against a
Participant's Account until permitted by applicable law. This Section
authorizes only the making of bona fide loans and not distributions, and
before resort is made against a Participant's Account for his failure to
repay any loan, such other reasonable efforts to
33
<Page>
collect the same shall be made by the Committee as it deems reasonable and
practical under the circumstances.
(f) No distribution shall be made to any Participant unless and
until all unpaid loans to such Participant have either been paid in full or
deducted from the Participant's Account.
(g) All loans made under this Section 11.7 shall be considered
earmarked investments of the Participant's Account, and any repayment of
principal and interest shall be reinvested in accordance with the
Participant's investment direction in effect on the date of such repayment
pursuant to Article VIII of the Plan.

ARTICLE XII
DISTRIBUTION TO PARTICIPANTS
12.1 DISTRIBUTION UPON RETIREMENT.
(a) If a Participant's employment with the Affiliated Employers is
terminated as a result of his retirement on or after his Early Retirement
Date or his Normal Retirement Date, in addition to the withdrawal options
under Section 11.1, the entire balance credited to his Account shall be
payable to him in a single lump sum distribution at such time requested by
the Participant pursuant to Section 12.6 and in accordance with the
procedures established by the Committee. The distribution shall commence as
soon as practicable after the Valuation Date selected by the Participant.
(b) Notwithstanding a Participant's election to defer the receipt
of the benefits under (a) above, the Committee shall direct payment in a
single lump sum to such Participant if the balance of his Account does not
exceed $5,000 in accordance with the requirements of Code Section
411(a)(11). The Committee shall not cash-out any Participant whose Account
balance exceeds $5,000 without the written consent of the Participant.
12.2 DISTRIBUTION UPON DISABILITY. If a Participant's employment with the
Affiliated Employers is terminated prior to his Normal Retirement Date by reason
of his total and permanent disability, as determined by the Social Security
Administration and evidenced in a writing provided to the Committee, such
disabled Participant, in addition to the withdrawal options under Section 11.1,
shall be entitled to receive the entire vested value credited to his Account at
such time as requested by the Participant or such legal representative pursuant
to Section 12.6 and in accordance with the procedures established by the
Committee. Any distribution pursuant to this Section 12.2 shall be made in a
single lump sum as soon as practicable after the selected Valuation Date.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee shall direct payment in a
single lump sum to such Participant or his legal representative if the balance
of such Participant's Account does not exceed $5,000 in accordance with the
requirements of Code Section 411(a)(11).
12.3 DISTRIBUTION UPON DEATH. If a Participant's employment with the
Affiliated Employers is terminated by reason of death, the entire balance
credited to the Participant's Account shall be distributed as soon as
practicable to the Participant's surviving Beneficiary or Beneficiaries in a
lump sum.
12.4 DESIGNATION OF BENEFICIARY. A Participant may designate a
Beneficiary or Beneficiaries (who may be designated contingently) to receive all
or part of the amount credited to his Account in case of his death before his
receipt of all of his benefits under the Plan, provided that the Beneficiary of
a married Participant shall be the Participant's Surviving Spouse, unless such
Surviving Spouse shall consent in a writing witnessed by a notary public, which
writing acknowledges the effect of the Participant's designation of a
Beneficiary other than such Surviving
35
<Page>
Spouse. However, if such Participant establishes to the satisfaction of the
Committee that such written consent may not be obtained because the Surviving
Spouse cannot be located or because of such other circumstances as the Secretary
of the Treasury may by regulations prescribe, a designation by such Participant
without the consent of the Surviving Spouse shall be valid.
Any consent necessary under this Section 12.4 shall be valid and effective
only with respect to the Surviving Spouse who signs the consent or, in the event
of a deemed consent, only with respect to a designated Surviving Spouse.
A Participant may revoke a designation of Beneficiary at any time before
the commencement of the distribution of benefits. Such a revocation will not
require the consent of any Beneficiary or of the Participant's Surviving Spouse.
A Beneficiary designation or change or revocation of a Beneficiary designation
shall be made in accordance with the procedures established by the Committee.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a divorced Participant wishes to retain his
former spouse as his designated Beneficiary, such Participant must re-designate
the former spouse as designated Beneficiary subsequent to the date of the
applicable divorce decree.
If no designated Beneficiary shall be living at the death of the
Participant and/or such Participant's Beneficiary designation is not valid and
enforceable under applicable law or the procedures of the Committee, such
Participant's Beneficiary or Beneficiaries shall be the person or persons in the
first of the following classes of successive preference, if then living:
(a) the Participant's spouse on the date of his death,
(b) the Participant's children, equally,
(c) the Participant's parents, equally,
(d) the Participant's brothers and sisters, equally, or
(e) the Participant's estate.
Payment to such one or more persons shall completely discharge the Plan and the
Trustee with respect to the amount so paid.
12.5 DISTRIBUTION UPON TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT.
(a) If a Participant's employment with the Affiliated Employers is
terminated for any reason other than in accordance with Sections 12.1,
12.2, and 12.3, the vested balance to the credit of the Participant's
Account shall be payable in a single lump sum. Such lump sum distribution
shall be made as soon as practicable after the Participant's termination of
employment, provided that one of the following conditions is met:
(1) the Participant's vested Account balance does not exceed
$5,000 in accordance with Code Section 411(a)(11), or
36
<Page>
(2) in accordance with Section 12.10, the Participant elects
to receive a distribution of his vested Account balance.
(b) A Participant who does not receive a distribution under Section
12.5(a)(1) may elect to defer the commencement of the distribution of his
Account following the termination of his employment until a later Valuation
Date, provided that such distribution shall commence not later than the
date required under Section 12.6 of the Plan. In addition to the withdrawal
options under Section 11.1, any deferred distribution shall commence as
soon as practicable after the Valuation Date selected by the Participant.
12.6 COMMENCEMENT OF BENEFITS.
(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, and except as
further provided in Section 12.6(b) below, if the Participant does not
elect to defer commencement of his benefit payments, the payment of his
benefits shall begin at the Participant's election no later than the
sixtieth (60th) day after the close of the Plan Year in which the latest of
the following events occurs:
(1) the Participant reaches age sixty-five (65),
(2) the Participant's tenth (10th) anniversary of
participation under the Plan, or
(3) the Participant's termination of employment with the
Affiliated Employers.
(b) In no event shall the distribution of amounts in a
Participant's Account commence later than the April 1st of the calendar
year following the later of the calendar year in which the Participant
attains age 70 1/2 or terminates employment with the Affiliated Employers,
in accordance with regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the payment of benefits to a Participant who
is a five percent (5%) owner of Mirant Corporation or an Affiliated
Employer (as determined pursuant to Code Section 416) with respect to the
Plan Year ending in the calendar year in which the Participant attains age
70 1/2 shall begin not later than April 1st, of the calendar year following
the calendar year in which the Participant attains age 70 1/2 regardless of
the Participant's termination from employment.
Any distribution made under this Plan shall be made in accordance
with the minimum distribution requirements of Code Section 401(a)(9),
including the incidental death benefits requirements under Code Section
401(a)(9)(G) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. Notwithstanding the
preceding and any Plan provision to the contrary, with respect to
distributions under the Plan made in calendar years beginning on or after
January 1, 2002, the Plan will apply the minimum distribution requirements
of Section 401(a)(9) of the Internal Revenue Code in accordance with the
regulations under
37
<Page>
Section 401(a)(9) that were proposed in January of 2001. This provision
shall continue in effect until the end of the last calendar year beginning
before the effective date of final regulations under Section 401(a)(9) or
such other date specified in guidance published by the Internal Revenue
Service. Following issuance of the final regulations, the provisions of the
final regulations shall apply immediately following the date that the
proposed regulations cease to apply.
12.7 TRANSFER BETWEEN EMPLOYING COMPANIES. A transfer by a Participant
from one Employing Company to another Employing Company shall not affect his
participation in the Plan. A transfer by a Participant from an Employing Company
to an Affiliated Employer that is not an Employing Company shall not be deemed
to be a termination of employment with an Employing Company.
12.8 DISTRIBUTIONS TO ALTERNATE PAYEES. If the Participant's Account
under the Plan shall become subject to any domestic relations order which (a) is
a qualified domestic relations order satisfying the requirements of Section
414(p) of the Code and (b) requires the immediate distribution in a single lump
sum of the entire portion of the Participant's Account required to be segregated
for the benefit of an alternate payee, then the entire interest of such
alternate payee shall be distributed in a single lump sum within ninety (90)
days following the Employing Company's notification to the Participant and the
alternate payee that the domestic relations order is qualified under Section

the service of the Affiliated Employers. Any other distribution pursuant to a
qualified domestic relations order shall not be made earlier than the
Participant's termination of service, or his attainment of age fifty (50), if
earlier, and shall not commence later than the date the Participant's (or his
Beneficiary's) benefit payments otherwise commence. Such distribution to an
alternate payee shall be made only in a manner permitted under Articles XI or
XII of the Plan and only to the extent the Participant would be eligible for
such distribution option.
12.9 REQUIREMENT FOR DIRECT ROLLOVERS. Notwithstanding any provision of
the Plan to the contrary that would otherwise limit a Distributee's election

prescribed by the Committee, to have any portion of an Eligible Rollover
Distribution paid directly to an Eligible Retirement Plan specified by the

such vested account balance prior to his Normal Retirement Date. The consent of
the Participant shall be obtained in writing within the ninety-day period ending
on the first day of the first period for which an amount is payable under this
Plan.
The Committee or its delegate shall notify the Participant of the right to
defer any distribution until the Participant's Account balance is no longer

relative values of the optional forms of benefit available under the Plan in a
manner that would satisfy the notice requirements of Code Section 417(a)(3);
such notification shall be provided no less than 30 days and no more than 90
days prior to the distribution date.
Distributions may commence less than 30 days after the notice required
under Section 1.411(a)-11(c) of the Treasury Regulations is given, provided

Stock or Pepco common stock be distributed in the form of such Southern Stock or
Pepco common stock, as applicable, to the extent of the whole number of shares
in the Participant's Account, with a cash adjustment for any fractional shares.
12.12 PARTIAL DISTRIBUTION UPON TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT. If a

options available under Article XI, shall be entitled to elect a lump sum
distribution of the entire balance to the credit of his Account less the amount
credited to his Elective Employer Contribution subaccount. The amounts credited
to his Elective Employer Contribution subaccount may be distributed in a lump
sum distribution at such time permitted pursuant to Code Section 401(k)(2)(B)(i)
and Section 4.4(c) hereof. Such lump sum distributions shall otherwise be
subject to this Article XII.

as shall each person designated by any fiduciary to carry out any fiduciary

cause to be mailed to Participants reports to be furnished to Participants in

such as stock transfer taxes, brokerage commissions, or other charges incurred
in the acquisition or disposition of such investments, shall be paid from the

expenses relate) and shall be deemed to be part of the cost of such securities
or deducted in computing the proceeds therefrom, as the case may be. Investment
management fees for the Investment Funds shall be paid from the particular

taxes on the transfer of any common stock from the Trustee to a Participant or
his Beneficiary shall be charged appropriately against the Accounts of

ARTICLE XIV
TRUSTEE OF THE PLAN
14.1 TRUSTEE. The Company has entered into a Trust Agreement with the
Trustee to hold the funds necessary to provide the benefits set forth in the
Plan. If the Board of Directors so determines, the Company may enter into a
Trust Agreement or Trust Agreements with additional trustees. Any Trust
Agreement may be amended by the Company from time to time in accordance with its
terms. Any Trust Agreement shall provide, among other things, that all funds
received by the Trustee thereunder will be held, administered, invested, and
distributed by the Trustee, and that no part of the corpus or income of the
Trust held by the Trustee shall be used for or diverted to purposes other than
for the exclusive benefit of Participants or their Beneficiaries, except as
otherwise provided in the Plan. Any Trust Agreement may also provide that the
investment and reinvestment of the Trust Fund, or any part thereof may be
carried out in accordance with directions given to the Trustee by an Investment
Manager or Investment Managers (as that term is defined in ERISA) who may be
appointed by the Committee. The Board of Managers may remove any Trustee or any
successor Trustee, and any Trustee or any successor Trustee may resign. Upon
removal or resignation of a Trustee, the Board of Managers shall appoint a
successor Trustee.
14.2 VOTING OF OTHER INVESTMENT FUND SHARES. The voting of the shares in
any Investment Fund shall be determined pursuant to Section 5 of the Trust
Agreement. In the event certain shares in any Investment Fund are not addressed
in Section 5 of the Trust Agreement, the Committee or its delegate shall direct
the Trustee how to vote such shares.
14.3 UNINVESTED AMOUNTS. The Trustee may keep uninvested an amount of
cash sufficient in its opinion to enable it to carry out the purposes of the
Plan.

position and the results of operation of the Trust forming a part of the Plan.

ARTICLE XV
AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF THE PLAN
15.1 AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN. The Plan may be amended or modified by the
Board of Managers pursuant to its written resolutions at any time and from time
to time; provided, however, that no such amendment or modification shall make it
possible for any part of the corpus or income of the Trust Fund to be used for
or diverted to purposes other than for the exclusive benefit of Participants or
their Beneficiaries under the Plan, including such part as is required to pay
taxes and administration expenses of the Plan. The Plan may also be amended or
modified by the Committee (a) if such amendment or modification does not involve
a substantial increase in cost to any Employing Company, or (b) as may be
necessary, proper, or desirable in order to comply with laws or regulations
enacted or promulgated by any federal or state governmental authority and to
maintain the qualification of the Plan under Sections 401(a) and 501(a) of the
Code and the applicable provisions of ERISA, as provided in regulations
prescribed by the Secretary of Treasury.
No amendment to the Plan shall have the effect of decreasing a
Participant's vested interest in his Account, determined without regard to such
amendment, as of the later of the date such amendment is adopted or the date it
becomes effective. In addition, if the vesting schedule of the Plan is amended,
any Participant who has completed at least three (3) Years of Service and whose
vested interest is at any time adversely affected by such amendment may elect to
have his vested interest determined without regard to such amendment during the
election period defined under Section 411(a)(10) of the Code. Finally, no
amendment shall eliminate an optional form of benefit in violation of Code
Section 411(d)(6).
15.2 TERMINATION OF THE PLAN. It is the intention of the Employing
Companies to continue the Plan indefinitely. However, the Board of Managers
pursuant to its written resolutions may at any time and for any reason suspend
or terminate the Plan or suspend or discontinue the making of contributions of
all Participants and of contributions by all Employing Companies. Any Employing
Company may, by action of its board of directors and approval of the Board of
Managers, suspend or terminate the making of contributions of Participants in
the employ of such Employing Company and of contributions by such Employing
Company.
In the event of termination of the Plan or partial termination or upon
complete discontinuance of contributions under the Plan by all Employing
Companies or by any one Employing Company, the amount to the credit of the
Account of each Participant whose Employing Company shall be affected by such
termination or discontinuance shall be determined as of the next Valuation Date
and shall be distributed to him or his Beneficiary thereafter at such time or
times and in such nondiscriminatory manner as is determined by the Committee in
compliance with the restrictions on distributions as set forth in Code Section
401(k).
45
<Page>
15.3 MERGER OR CONSOLIDATION OF THE PLAN. The Plan shall not be merged or
consolidated with nor shall any assets or liabilities thereof be transferred to
any other plan unless each Participant of the Plan would (if the Plan then
terminated) receive a benefit immediately after the merger, consolidation, or
transfer that 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 had then terminated).
46

ARTICLE XVI
GENERAL PROVISIONS
16.1 PLAN NOT AN EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT. The Plan shall not be deemed to
constitute a contract between an Affiliated Employer and any Employee, nor shall
anything herein contained be deemed to give any Employee any right to be
retained in the employ of an Employing Company or to interfere with the right of
an Employing Company to discharge any Employee at any time and to treat him
without regard to the effect which such treatment might have upon him as a
Participant.
16.2 NO RIGHT OF ASSIGNMENT OR ALIENATION. Except as may be otherwise
permitted or required by law, no right or interest in the Plan of any
Participant or Beneficiary and no distribution or payment under the Plan to any
Participant or Beneficiary shall be subject in any manner to anticipation,
alienation, sale, transfer (except by death), assignment (either at law or in
equity), pledge, encumbrance, charge, attachment, garnishment, levy, execution,
or other legal or equitable process, whether voluntary or involuntary, and any
attempt to so anticipate, alienate, sell, transfer, assign, pledge, encumber,
charge, attach, garnish, levy, or execute or enforce any other legal or
equitable process against the same shall be void, nor shall any such right,
interest, distribution, or payment be in any way liable for or subject to the
debts, contracts, liabilities, engagements, or torts of any person entitled to
such right, interest, distribution, or payment. If any Participant or
Beneficiary is adjudicated bankrupt or purports to anticipate, alienate, sell,
transfer, assign, pledge, encumber, or charge any such right, interest,
distribution, or payment, voluntarily or involuntarily, or if any action shall
be taken that is in violation of the provisions of the immediately preceding
sentence, the Committee may hold or apply or cause to be held or applied such
right, interest, distribution, or payment or any part thereof to or for the
benefit of such Participant or Beneficiary in such manner as is in accordance
with applicable law. In addition, a Participant's benefits may be offset
pursuant to a judgment, order, or decree issued (or settlement agreement entered
into) if and to the extent that such offset is permissible or required under
Code Section 401(a)(13).
Notwithstanding the above, the Committee and the Trustee shall comply with
any domestic relations order (as defined in Section 414(p)(1)(B) of the Code)
that is a qualified domestic relations order satisfying the requirements of
Section 414(p) of the Code. The Committee shall establish procedures for (a)
notifying Participants and alternate payees who have or may have an interest in
benefits that are the subject of domestic relations orders, (b) determining
whether such domestic relations orders are qualified domestic relations orders
under Section 414(p) of the Code, and (c) distributing benefits that are subject
to qualified domestic relations orders.
16.3 PAYMENT TO MINORS AND OTHERS. If the Committee determines that any
person entitled to a distribution or payment from the Trust Fund is an infant or
incompetent or is unable to care for his affairs by reason of physical or mental
disability, it may cause all distributions or payments thereafter becoming due
to such person to be made to any other person for his benefit, without
responsibility to follow the application of payments so made. Payments made
pursuant to this provision shall completely discharge the Company, the Trustee,
and the Committee with respect to the amounts so paid. No person shall have any
rights under the Plan with respect to the
47
<Page>
Trust Fund, or against the Trustee or any Employing Company, except as
specifically provided herein.
16.4 SOURCE OF BENEFITS. The Trust Fund established under the Plan shall
be the sole source of the payments or distributions to be made in accordance
with the Plan. No person shall have any rights under the Plan with respect to
the Trust Fund, or against the Trustee or any Employing Company, except as
specifically provided herein.
16.5 UNCLAIMED BENEFITS. If the Committee is unable, within five (5)
years after any distribution becomes payable to a Participant or Beneficiary, to
make or direct payment to the person entitled thereto because the identity or
whereabouts of such person cannot be ascertained, notwithstanding the mailing of
due notice to such person at his last known address as indicated by the records
of either the Committee or his Employing Company, then such benefit or
distribution will be disposed of as follows:
(a) If the whereabouts of the Participant is unknown to the
Committee, distribution will be made to the Participant's Beneficiary or
Beneficiaries.
Payment to such one or more persons shall completely discharge the
Company, the Trustee, and the Committee with respect to the amounts so
paid.
(b) If none of the persons described in (a) above, can be located,
then the benefit payable under the Plan shall be forfeited and shall be
applied to reduce future Employer Matching Contributions. Notwithstanding
the foregoing sentence, such benefit shall be reinstated if a claim is made
by the Participant or Beneficiary for the forfeited benefit.
16.6 GOVERNING LAW. The provisions of the Plan and the Trust shall be
construed, administered, and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State
of Georgia, except to the extent such laws are preempted by the laws of the
United States.
16.7 CONSTRUCTION. It is the intention of the Company that the provisions
of the Plan and the Trust be construed, administered, and enforced in accordance
with the Company's interpretation of any bargaining agreements applicable to the
collective bargaining units set forth in Article XVII or a schedule attached
hereto.
