Participation
            2.1        Eligibility to Participate. Each Non-Legacy Participant who was entitled

of his or her benefit prior to the Effective Date, shall be a Participant in the Plan as of the
Effective Date and such Participant?s benefit paid on or after the Effective Date shall be

Employee on or after the Effective Date shall commence participation in the Plan on the date he

Participant.

each individual who first becomes an Eligible Employee for a Plan Year shall become a
Participant in the Plan for such Plan Year at the time designated by the Administrator. Prior to

Administrator determines necessary to effectuate the participation of such Eligible Employee in
the Plan, including an Investment Election Form and beneficiary designation form in the event of
the death of the Eligible Employee.
            2.3        Termination. An individual shall continue as a Participant in the Plan for
as long as he or she is entitled to receive a benefit from the Plan; provided, however, that a
Participant?s active participation in the Plan for purposes of eligibility to receive Retirement
Contributions shall terminate on the earliest of the date (a) his or her designation as an Eligible

Year designated by the Administrator. Such Eligible Employee shall be required to execute such
forms as required by the Administrator, including an Investment Election Form and beneficiary
designation form in the event of the death of the Eligible Employee.
ARTICLE III
Plan Accounts
            3.1        Establishment of Accounts. The Plan Administrator shall maintain a Plan
Account on behalf of each Participant in the Plan. Such Plan Account shall consist of a Prior

Retirement Contribution Account to reflect Retirement Contributions credited on behalf of such
Participant on and after the Effective Date.
            3.2        Investment Funds. Amounts credited to a Participant?s Plan Account shall
be credited with earnings, at periodic intervals determined by the Plan Administrator, at a rate
equal to the actual rate of return for such period of an investment fund or funds or index or
indices selected by that Participant on his or her Investment Election Form from a range of
investment vehicles authorized by the Plan Administrator. The rate of return on investment
vehicles shall be tracked solely for the purpose of computing the amount of benefits payable to
Participants under the Plan. Neither the Company nor any other Employer shall be obligated to
make any actual investment. A Participant may change the investment allocations for existing
amounts credited to his or her Plan Account or for future amounts credited to his or her Plan
Account by completing a new Investment Election Form and submitting such to the Plan
Administrator. Amended Investment Election Forms may be submitted by the Participant to the
Plan Administrator at such times as permitted by the Plan Administrator in or her sole discretion.
            3.3        Bookkeeping Entries. The maintenance of an individual Plan Account on
behalf of each Participant is for bookkeeping purposes only. Neither the Company nor any other

obligations under the Plan, nor shall any Participant to have any property rights in any particular
assets that may be held by the Company or any other Employer with respect to the Plan.
            3.4        Statements. Statements shall be sent to each Participant no less frequently
than quarterly setting forth the value of the Participant?s Plan Accounts.
ARTICLE IV
Retirement Contributions
            4.1        Amount. The Retirement Contribution Account of each Participant shall
be credited with a Retirement Contribution based on a percentage of his or her Compensation for
a Plan Year provided that the Participant is an Eligible Employee on the last day of such Plan

            For purposes of this Section 4.1, a Participant?s age shall be determined at the end

anything herein to the contrary, (i) for the first four Plan Years that a Participant is an Eligible
Employee, including Plan Years under the Executive Plan, but only with respect to Eligible
Employees who were eligible to participate in the Plan on the Effective Date, the Retirement
Contribution shall be limited to 10% of Compensation irrespective of the Participant?s age, and
(ii) in the case of a Participant who ceases to be an Eligible Employee during a Plan Year by
reason of death or a Disability, a pro rata portion of the Retirement Contribution shall be credited
based on the number of months during the Plan Year in which the Eligible Employee was
employed by the Employer prior to death or Disability. If an Eligible Employee is rehired by the
Employer after the Effective Date, such Eligible Employee will not receive any credit for Years
of Service earned prior to such rehire date and such Eligible Employee will be subject to
satisfying the requirements of clause (i) above for his first four Plan Years after his rehire date.
