For Employees who become eligible to participate in the Plan after November 30, 1998, the Employee shall be considered to have directed the Employer to reduce his salary in order to make a Before-Tax Contribution in an amount equal to three (3) percent of each periodic installment of his Annual Salary (subject to the provisions of Section 3.07) on his behalf to the trust for the Plan established under the Trust Agreement unless such Employee files an election directing the Employer to either not reduce each such periodic installment of his Annual Salary, or to reduce his salary to make either a Before-Tax Contribution under the terms of Paragraph 3.02(a) in an amount different from three (3) percent or an After-Tax Contribution under the terms of Paragraph 3.02(b). Such Deemed Election shall be effective in accordance with procedures established by the Plan Administrator after written notice has been provided to the Employee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, effective on or after the Retirement Program Change Effective Date , each salaried Employee who becomes eligible to participate in the Plan on or after the Retirement Program Change Effective Date shall be considered to have directed the Employer to

reduce his salary in order to make a Before-Tax Contribution in an amount equal to six (6) percent of each periodic installment of his Annual Salary (subject to the provisions of Section 3.07) on his behalf to the trust for the Plan established under the Trust Agreement unless such Employee files (or has filed) a Deferral Election with the Employer.

     (e) Limits on Contributions . Notwithstanding the foregoing, the maximum combined total of After-Tax Contributions and Before-Tax Contributions being made by or on behalf of a Participant at any time may not exceed 50 percent of the Participant’s installments of Annual Salary payable at the time, and After-Tax Contributions and Before-Tax Contributions may be made only to the extent that such Contributions to a Participant’s account for any Plan Year do not cause the limitations on Annual Additions to a Participant’s account as set forth in Section 3.14 to be exceeded.

     (f) Election Changes . An Employee may, by giving notice to the Plan Administrator on or prior to the last business day beginning on or before the fifteenth (15th) day of the calendar month and subject to the provisions of Section 3.07, change his Deferral Election, including a Deemed Election, and direct the Employer to reduce or contribute, as the case may be, different permitted percentages of his periodic installments of Annual Salary, effective as of the first pay received in the next succeeding calendar month. In the event of a change in Annual Salary, the Employee’s then current contribution percentage shall automatically be applied to the new Annual Salary, as soon as administratively practicable thereafter.

     (g) Suspension of Elections . An Employee may, by notice to the Plan Administrator, suspend his Deferral Election beginning with the next calendar month. In addition, suspension shall be automatic as of the first pay in which a Participant ceases to be an Employee. In the event of such a suspension, the Participant may elect to resume his Deferral Election in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.01 as of the first full pay period in the first or any succeeding calendar

month following the month in which such suspension occurred, provided that he is an Employee as of the date when the Deferral Election resumes.

     (h) Termination of Elections . Subsequent to a Distribution Event, the Participant shall have no right to continue making contributions to the Plan, but shall have the right to redirect the investment of the amounts in his accounts in accordance with Section 4.03 and to change or revoke his written designation of Beneficiary in accordance with Section 5.02.

     (i) Administrative Rules . The Plan Administrator may from time to time establish such rules and procedures for determining and adjusting the percentages of Annual Salary subject to Deferral Elections as the Plan Administrator shall in his sole discretion deem to be necessary or desirable for the administration of the Plan in accordance with the Code and ERISA, including, without limitation, rules and procedures establishing limitations on the frequency with which all or certain Participants may alter the percentages of their Annual Salary which are subject to Deferral Elections and rules and procedures allowing for the contribution of a specified dollar amount of Before-Tax Contributions, After-Tax Contributions or Catch-up Contributions in lieu of a fixed whole percentage.

     (j) Vesting . A Participant shall have a fully vested, nonforfeitable right to any benefits derived from Before-Tax Contributions, After-Tax Contributions and Catch-up Contributions made under this Section 3.02.

     (a) Enhanced Formula . Effective as of the later of the Retirement Program Change Effective Date or the date he becomes a Core Contribution Participant, each Core Contribution Participant shall receive Company Matching Contributions as of the end of each month from the Employer equal to the sum of (i) and (ii) below:

          (i) 75 percent of the first (4) percent of the Participant’s Annual Salary that is deferred by the Participant each month to the Plan as Before-Tax Contributions, excluding Catch-up Contributions, and

          (ii) 50 percent of the next two (2) percent of the Participant’s Annual Salary that is deferred by the Participant each month to the Plan as Before-Tax Contributions, excluding Catch-up Contributions.

          (i) 75 percent of the first (3) percent of the Participant’s Annual Salary that is deferred by the Participant each month to the Plan provided that the Participant has elected to contribute at least 3% as Before-Tax Contributions, excluding Catch-up Contributions, and

          (ii) 25 percent of the next three (3) percent of the Participant’s Annual Salary that is deferred by the Participant each month to the Plan as Before-Tax Contributions , excluding Catch-up Contributions, or contributed to the Plan as After-Tax Contributions.

     (c) Form of Company Matching Contribution . A Company Matching Contribution will be made to the Trustee as of the last New York Stock Exchange business day of each month, but (unless the Company determines otherwise) only out of the Employer’s current or accumulated earnings and profits, and may be made in whole or in part in cash or Company Stock. Company Matching Contributions to be made in Company Stock shall be valued for such purpose at the Fair Market Value on the last New York Stock Exchange business day of the month for which the Company Matching Contribution is made. If the Company shall not have taken action to discontinue the Plan in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.01 prior to the end of any month, each Employer’s Company Matching Contribution for such month shall

become a fixed obligation as of the end of such month to the extent of the Employer’s current or accumulated earnings and profits.

     (d) Limits on Company Matching Contributions . Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Company Matching Contribution shall be made for the account of any Participant to the extent that such Company Matching Contribution, after the adjustments provided for in the following sentence, would violate the Actual Contribution Percentage Test and/or the Multiple Use Limitation, as described in Section 3.07. Any corrective actions taken to avoid such violations shall be performed in accordance with Section 3.07.

     (e) Vesting . A Participant shall have a fully vested, nonforfeitable right to any benefits derived from Company Matching Contributions, subject to the forfeiture provisions of Section 3.07 and Paragraph 3.14(d).

     (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Annual Salary for purposes of determining the amount of Company Core Contributions under (a), above, shall not include any Annual Salary earned by a Participant before the Participant became eligible to receive Company Core Contributions.

     3.05 Company Core Contribution Vesting Rules A Participant’s Company Core Contributions and related investment earnings and losses shall be subject to the following vesting rules:

     (a) Vesting Schedule .

     (b) Forfeitures .

          (i) If a Participant is not fully vested in Company Core Contributions as described in (a) above at the time he incurs a Severance from Service Date, the unvested portion of the Participant’s account attributable to Company Core Contributions and related investment earnings and losses shall be forfeited as of the earlier of:

               (A) the date on which he receives a distribution of his entire vested interest in his account; or

               (B) the last day of the Plan Year in which he incurs five consecutive Periods of Severance.

          (ii) A Participant who has no portion of his account attributable to Company Matching Contributions or Participant Before-Tax Contributions and whose vested interest in the portion of his account attributable to Company Core Contributions is zero shall be deemed to have received a distribution of his account as of his Severance from Service Date.

          (iii) If a Participant is rehired by the Employer or an Affiliated Company before incurring five consecutive Periods of Severance, any amount forfeited under subsections (i) or (ii) shall be restored to his account. Such restoration shall be

made from currently forfeited amounts in accordance with subsection (iv), or from additional contributions by the Employer.

          (iv) Amounts forfeited shall be used to first restore future amounts required to be restored in accordance with subsection (iii) with respect to the Plan Year. After such restoration, if any, is made, such amounts shall be used to reduce future Company Core Contributions and Company Matching Contributions made by the Employer by which the former Participant was employed, or to defray administrative costs of the Plan as determined by the Company.

     3.06 Timing of Contributions . Before-Tax, After-Tax and Catch-up Contributions shall be transferred to the Trustee as soon as practicable following the date on which the Participant’s pay is reduced by the amount of the contribution. Company Matching Contributions and, effective January 1, 2005, Company Core Contributions shall be transferred to the Trustee no later than the last date on which amounts so paid may be deducted for federal income tax purposes for the taxable year of the Employer in which the Plan Year ends.

     3.07 Nondiscrimination Limitations and Corrective Measures .

     (a) For purposes of this Section 3.07, the following terms shall have the meanings indicated below:

          (i) Actual Contribution Percentage . The Actual Contribution Percentages for a Plan Year for the group of all Highly Compensated Employees and for the group of all Nonhighly Compensated Employees respectively are the averages, calculated to the nearest one-hundredth of a percentage point (.01%), of the ratios, calculated separately to the nearest one-hundredth of a percentage point (.01%) for each Employee in the respective group, of the amount of Company Matching Contributions and After-Tax Contributions (and any Qualified Non-Elective Contribution made under Paragraph 3.07(c)(x) for purposes of satisfying the Actual Contribution Percentage Test) made to the Plan on behalf of each such Employee for such Plan Year, to the Employee’s Compensation for such Plan Year, whether or not the Employee was a Participant for the entire Plan Year. The Actual Contribution

Percentage calculation may include Before-Tax Contributions, excluding Catch-up Contributions, so long as: (A) the Actual Deferral Percentage Test is met before such Before-Tax Contributions are used in the Actual Contribution Percentage Test, and continues to be met following the exclusion of those Before-Tax Contributions that are used to meet the Actual Contribution Percentage Test and (B) the requirements of Treasury Regulation §1.401(m)-1(b)(5) are satisfied. For purposes of determining the Actual Contribution Percentage, only those Employees who are eligible to elect After- Tax Contributions or to receive Company Matching Contributions for all or a portion of the applicable Plan Year, or who would be so eligible absent a suspension in accordance with the terms of the Plan, are taken into account; any such Employee who would be a Participant if such Employee made an After-Tax Contribution or had a Before-Tax Contribution made on his behalf shall be treated as an eligible Employee on behalf of whom no After-Tax Contributions or Company Matching Contributions are made.

     For purposes of this Section, and except as otherwise provided in Internal Revenue Service regulations, if the Plan and any other plan are aggregated for purposes of Code Section 410(b) (other than for purposes of the average benefit percentage test), such plans (including the Plan) shall be treated as one (1) plan for purposes of calculating the Actual Contribution Percentage. Except as otherwise provided in Internal Revenue Service regulations, if any Highly Compensated Employee who is a Participant in this Plan also participates in any other plan of the Employer to which employee or matching contributions are made, all such plans (including the Plan) shall be treated as one (1) plan with respect to such Participant.

          (ii) Actual Contribution Percentage Test means the test described in Paragraph 3.07(b)(ii).

          (iii) Actual Deferral Percentage . The Actual Deferral Percentages for a Plan Year for the group of all Highly Compensated Employees and for the group of all Nonhighly Compensated Employees respectively are the averages, calculated to the nearest one-hundredth of a percentage point (.01%), of the ratios,

calculated separately to the nearest one-hundredth of a percentage point (.01%) for each Employee in the respective group, of the amount of Before-Tax Contributions, excluding Catch-up Contributions (and Qualified Non-Elective Contributions made under Paragraph 3.07(c)(x) for purposes of satisfying the Actual Deferral Percentage Test), paid under the Plan on behalf of each such Employee for such Plan Year, including Excess Deferrals, to the Employee’s Compensation for such Plan Year (whether or not the Employee was a Participant for the entire Plan Year) but excluding Before-Tax Contributions that are taken into account in the Actual Contribution Percentage Test. Only those Employees who are eligible to elect Before-Tax Contributions for all or a portion of the applicable Plan Year, or who would be so eligible absent a suspension in accordance with the terms of the Plan, are taken into account; any such Employee who would be a Participant but for the failure to have Before-Tax Contributions made on his behalf shall be treated as an eligible Employee on whose behalf no Before-Tax Contributions are made.

     For purposes of this Section and except as otherwise provided in Internal Revenue Service regulations, if the Plan and any other plan which includes a cash or deferred arrangement (within the meaning of Code Section 401(k)) are aggregated for purposes of Code Section 410(b) (other than for purposes of the average benefit percentage test), the cash or deferred arrangements in such plans (including the Plan) shall be treated as one (1) plan for purposes of calculating the Actual Deferral Percentage. Except as otherwise provided in Internal Revenue Service regulations, if any Highly Compensated Employee who is a Participant in this Plan also participates in any other cash or deferred arrangement (within the meaning of Code Section 401(k)) of the Company or an Affiliated Company, all such cash or deferred arrangements (including under the Plan) shall be treated as one (1) cash or deferred arrangement with respect to such Participant.

          (iv) Actual Deferral Percentage Test means the test described in Paragraph 3.07(b)(i).

          (v) Compensation shall mean, except as otherwise provided in the definition of “Highly Compensated Employee”, a definition of compensation which satisfies Code Section 414(s) and regulations thereunder, and which is consistently used in any one Plan Year for purposes of this Section 3.07.

          (vi) Excess Aggregate Contributions mean, with respect to any Highly Compensated Employee for a Plan Year, the excess of:

               (A) The total After-Tax Contributions and Company Matching Contributions (and, where applicable, Before-Tax Contributions, taken into account under the Actual Contribution Percentage Test) made on behalf of such Highly Compensated Employee taken into account in computing the Actual Contribution Percentage for such Plan Year, over

               (B) The maximum amount of After-Tax Contributions and Company Matching Contributions (and, where applicable, Before-Tax Contributions, taken into account under the Actual Contribution Percentage Test) on behalf of such Highly Compensated Employee which are permitted by the Actual Contribution Percentage Test.

          (vii) Excess Contributions mean, with respect to any Highly Compensated Employee for a Plan Year, the excess of:

               (A) The total Before-Tax Contributions made on behalf of such Highly Compensated Employee taken into account in computing the Actual Deferral Percentage of Highly Compensated Employees for such Plan Year, over

               (B) The maximum amount of such Before-Tax Contributions, excluding Catch-up Contributions, on behalf of such Highly Compensated Employee which are permitted by the Actual Deferral Percentage Test.

          (viii) Excess Deferrals mean the Before-Tax Contributions that are includible in a Participant’s gross income because they have exceeded the dollar limitation contained in Code Section 402(g).

          (ix) Highly Compensated Employee means any Employee who performs service for the Company or an Affiliated Company during the determination year (as defined below) and who was: (A) a Five-Percent Owner at any time during the current or preceding Plan Year, or (B) for the preceding Plan Year had Compensation from the Employer or an Affiliated Company in excess of $80,000 (as adjusted pursuant to Code Section 414(q)). At the election of the Plan Administrator and, as provided for in Exhibit III, in a manner consistent with Code Section 414(q) and any regulations or other IRS pronouncements thereunder, clause (B) in the preceding sentence can be limited to those Employees who are in the top twenty percent (20%) of Employees ranked on the basis of compensation for such look-back year. At the election of the Plan Administrator, as provided for in Exhibit III, Compensation for the purpose of this Paragraph 3.07(a)(ix) may be determined on the basis of a calendar year, rather than the Plan Year.

          (x) To the extent required by applicable law “Highly Compensated Employee” shall also include a highly compensated former employee, which is any employee who separated from service prior to the current Plan Year and who was either a Highly Compensated Employee in any determination year ending on or after the Employee’s attainment of age fifty five (55).

          For purposes of this definition, Compensation is as defined in Code Section 415(c)(3).

          (xi) Multiple Use Limitation means the limitation described in Paragraph 3.07(b)(iii).

          (xii) Nonhighly Compensated Employee means any employee who is not a Highly Compensated Employee.

          (xiii) Qualified Non-Elective Contributions mean contributions made by the Company described in Paragraph 3.07(c)(x).

          (xiv) Five Percent Owner means an Employee who shall be considered to be a Five Percent Owner for any Plan Year if at any time during such year

such Employee was a five percent owner of the Employer, determined in accordance with the rules of Code Section 416(i)(1).

     (b) Nondiscrimination Tests .

          (i) Actual Deferral Percentage Test . Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Actual Deferral Percentage for the group of all eligible Highly Compensated Employees for each Plan Year must not exceed the greater of:

               (A) the Actual Deferral Percentage for the previous Plan Year for the group of all eligible Nonhighly Compensated Employees multiplied by 1.25; or

               (B) the Actual Deferral Percentage for the previous Plan Year of such group of Nonhighly Compensated Employees multiplied by 2.0, but in no event more than two (2) percentage points greater than the Actual Deferral Percentage for the previous Plan Year of such group of Nonhighly Compensated Employees, subject to the Multiple Use Limitation.

     The Vice President — Human Resources, by written notice to the Plan Administrator may elect to entirely exclude from the Actual Deferral Percentage test those Employees who could be excluded from participation under the minimum age and service requirements of Code Section 410(a)(1)(A) (“early participation employees”), other than those early participation employees who are Highly Compensated Employees, to the extent permitted under Code Section 401(k)(3)(F). Any such election shall be reflected in Exhibit III.

     The Actual Deferral Percentage test set forth in this Paragraph 3.07(b)(i) shall be performed in accordance with Code Section 401(k), the regulations thereunder, and any related IRS pronouncements, including IRS Notice 98-1 to the extent applicable. The Actual Deferral Percentage test set forth in this Paragraph 3.07(b)(i) may be performed with current year Non-Highly Compensated Employee data, rather

than prior year data, if so elected by the Employer. Any such election shall be made by the Vice-President — Human Resources and shall be reflected in Exhibit III.

          (ii) Actual Contribution Percentage Test . Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Actual Contribution Percentage for the group of all eligible Highly Compensated Employees for each Plan Year must not exceed the greater of:

               (A) The Actual Contribution Percentage for the previous Plan Year for the group of all eligible Nonhighly Compensated Employees multiplied by 1.25; or

               (B) The Actual Contribution Percentage for the previous Plan Year of such group of Nonhighly Compensated Employees multiplied by 2.0, but in no event more than two (2) percentage points greater than the Actual Contribution Percentage for the previous Plan Year of such group of Nonhighly Compensated Employees, subject to the Multiple Use Limitation.

     The Vice President — Human Resources, by written notice to the Plan Administrator may elect to entirely exclude from the Actual Contribution Percentage Test those Employees who could be excluded from participation under the minimum age and service requirements of Code Section 410(a)(1)(A) (“early participation employees”), other than those early participation employees who are Highly Compensated Employees, to the extent permitted under Code Section 401(m)(5)(C). Any such election shall be reflected in Exhibit III.

     The Actual Contribution Percentage test set forth in this Paragraph 3.07(b)(ii) shall be performed in accordance with Code Section 401(m), the regulations thereunder, and any related IRS pronouncements, including IRS Notice 98-1 to the extent applicable. The Actual Contribution Percentage test set forth in this Paragraph 3.07(b)(ii) may be performed with current year Non-Highly Compensated Employee data, rather than prior year data, if so elected by the Employer. Any such

election shall be made by the Vice President — Human Resources and shall be reflected in Exhibit III.

          (iii) Multiple Use Limitation . Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the sum of the Actual Deferral Percentage and the Actual Contribution Percentage for the group of all Highly Compensated Employees for each Plan Year beginning prior to October 1, 2002 shall not exceed the Multiple Use Limitation, which shall be the greater of:

               (A) The sum of -

                    (i) 1.25 times the greater of the Actual Deferral Percentage for the previous Plan Year of the group of Nonhighly Compensated Employees or the Actual Contribution Percentage for the previous Plan Year of the group of Nonhighly Compensated Employees for such Plan Year, and

                    (ii) Two percentage points plus the lesser of the Actual Deferral Percentage for the previous Plan Year of the group of Nonhighly Compensated Employees or the Actual Contribution Percentage for the previous Plan Year of the group of Nonhighly Compensated Employees for such Plan Year (in no event, however, may this amount exceed twice the lesser of the Actual Deferral Percentage or Actual Contribution Percentage for the previous Plan Year);

or

               (B) The sum of -

                    (i) 1.25 times the lesser of the Actual Deferral Percentage for the previous Plan Year of the group of Nonhighly Compensated Employees or the Actual Contribution Percentage of the group of Nonhighly Compensated Employees for the previous Plan Year, and

                    (ii) Two percentage points plus the greater of the Actual Deferral Percentage for the previous Plan Year of the group of Nonhighly

Compensated Employees or the Actual Contribution Percentage of the group of Nonhighly Compensated Employees for the previous Plan Year (in no event, however, may this amount exceed twice the greater of the relevant Actual Deferral Percentage or Actual Contribution Percentage for the Plan Year).

     For this purpose, the Actual Deferral Percentage and Actual Contribution Percentage shall be determined after any Qualified Non-Elective Contributions and any distributions have been made in order to satisfy the Actual Deferral Percentage Test and the Actual Contribution Percentage Test.

     If a correction is necessary in order to prevent the Plan from exceeding the Multiple Use Limitation, such correction shall be made by reducing the Actual Contribution Percentage.

     The Vice President — Human Resources, by written notice to the Plan Administrator may elect to entirely exclude from the Multiple Use Limitation test those Employees who could be excluded from participation under the minimum age and service requirements of Code Section 410(a)(1)(A) (“early participation employees”), other than those early participation employees who are Highly Compensated Employees, to the extent permitted under Code Section 401(m)(5)(C). Any such election shall be reflected in Exhibit III.

     The Multiple Use Limitation test set forth in this Paragraph 3.07(b)(iii) shall be performed in accordance with Code Section 401(m), the regulations thereunder, and any related IRS pronouncements, including IRS Notice 98-1 to the extent applicable. The Multiple Use test set forth in this Paragraph 3.07(b)(iii) may be performed with current year Non-Highly Compensated Employee data, rather than prior year data, if so elected by the Employer. Any such election shall be made by the Vice President — Human Resources and shall be reflected in Exhibit III.

          (iv) For purposes of Paragraph 3.07(b), a Participant is a Highly Compensated Employee for a particular Plan Year if he or she satisfies the definition of a Highly Compensated Employee in effect for that Plan Year. Similarly, a Participant is

a Nonhighly Compensated Employee for a particular Plan Year if he or she does not satisfy the definition of a Highly Compensated Employee in effect for that Plan Year.

          (c) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, the percentages of Annual Salary specified by a Participant in his Deferral Election shall be subject to adjustment or other corrective measures by the Plan Administrator at any time and from time to time as follows:

               (i) Before-Tax Contributions, excluding Catch-up Contributions, shall not be accepted with respect to any Participant for a calendar year to the extent such Before-Tax Contributions, together with any other elective contributions of the Participant to a plan maintained by the Company or an Affiliated Company, exceed $9,500 (as adjusted in accordance with Code Section 402(g)); accordingly, the Plan Administrator shall adjust downward the percentage of Annual Salary specified by a Participant in his Deferral Election to be contributed to the Plan as Before-Tax Contributions, as may be necessary to prevent such Excess Deferrals.

               (ii) Before-Tax Contributions, excluding Catch-up Contributions, for any Plan Year must satisfy the Actual Deferral Percentage Test and, prior to the Plan Year beginning October 1, 2002, the Multiple Use Limitation; accordingly, the Plan Administrator shall adjust downward the percentage of Annual Salary specified by a Participant in his Deferral Election, to the extent which the Plan Administrator in his sole discretion determines is necessary to maintain the Plan’s compliance with the Average Deferral Percentage Test and the Multiple Use Limitation.

               (iii) After-Tax Contributions and Company Matching Contributions for any Plan Year must satisfy the Actual Contribution Percentage Test (after taking into account any Before-Tax Contributions included in such test pursuant to Paragraph 3.07(a)(i)) and, prior to the Plan Year beginning October 1, 2002, the Multiple Use Limitation; accordingly, the Plan Administrator shall adjust downward the percentage of Annual Salary specified by a Participant in his Deferral Election to be contributed under Paragraph 3.02(b), to the extent which the Plan Administrator in his

sole discretion determines is necessary to maintain the Plan’s compliance with such test and the Multiple Use Limitation, if applicable.

               (iv) When a downward adjustment has been made pursuant to Paragraph (i), (ii), or (iii) above, the Plan Administrator may thereafter adjust any such percentage upward to bring it up to or closer to the percentage specified in the Participant’s most recent Deferral Election whenever the Plan Administrator determines that such an upward adjustment can be made without exceeding the limits described in Paragraph (i), (ii), or (iii). In the event of such upward adjustment, each affected Participant shall be given the opportunity to affirmatively elect to have such higher percentage apply to him.

               (v) Any downward or upward adjustment in the percentage of Annual Salary specified by a Participant in his Deferral Election to be contributed to the Plan as Before-Tax Contributions other than Catch-up Contributions shall, with the Participant’s consent and unless the Plan Administrator directs otherwise, result in a corresponding increase or decrease, respectively, in After-Tax Contributions to be contributed to the Plan to the extent permitted under Paragraph (iii) or, if the Participant is eligible, Catch-up Contributions.

               (vi) If, after application of the above provisions of Paragraph 3.07(c), Excess Deferrals are made to the Plan, such Excess Deferrals shall be recharacterized as Catch-up Contributions to the extent that a Participant who is eligible to make Catch-up Contributions has not reached the applicable Catch-up Contribution limit for the calendar year described in Section 3.02(c). Any Excess Deferrals remaining after application of the preceding sentence shall be returned to the Participant with earnings in accordance with Treasury Regulation §1.402(g)-1, no later than April 15 following the close of the calendar year in which such contributions were made. Distributions shall first be made from Unmatched Contributions, excluding Catch-up Contributions, then from Catch-up Contributions if any and lastly, from Matched Contributions. The return of any Matched Contributions shall be accompanied by a forfeiture of the related Company Matching Contributions and any income

attributable thereto. Such forfeited amounts shall be held by the Trustee in a suspense account and applied towards subsequent Company Matching Contributions.

               (vii) After the close of a calendar year, but no later than the last business day before April 15 (or such earlier date required by Internal Revenue Service regulations) following such calendar year, a Participant who was also a participant in another plan to which the limitation on deferrals described in Code Section 402(g) applies may notify the Plan Administrator that the Participant has had deferrals contributed to the Plan and such other plan in excess of such limitation for such preceding calendar year and shall inform the Plan Administrator of the amount of such Excess Deferrals. Such Participant may request a distribution of such Excess Deferrals. Such Excess Deferrals shall first be recharacterized as Catch-up Contributions to the extent that a Participant who is eligible to make Catch-up Contributions has not reached the applicable Catch-up Contribution limit for the calendar year described in Section 3.02(c). Any Excess Deferrals remaining after application of the preceding sentence shall be distributed with the earnings attributable thereto in accordance with Treasury Regulation §1.402(g)-1 no later than the April 15 following such notification. Distributions shall first be made from Unmatched Contributions, excluding Catch-up Contributions, and the return of any Matched Contributions shall be accompanied by a forfeiture of the related Company Matching Contributions and any income attributable thereto. Such forfeited amounts shall be held by the Trustee in a suspense account and applied towards subsequent Company Matching Contributions.

               (viii) If, after application of the above provisions of Paragraph 3.07(c), Excess Contributions are made to the Plan, such Excess Contributions and the earnings attributable thereto shall be recharacterized as Catch-up Contributions to the extent that a Participant who is eligible to make Catch-up Contributions has not reached the applicable Catch-up Contribution limit for the calendar year described in Section 3.02(c). Any Excess Contributions remaining after application of the preceding sentence shall be distributed to Highly Compensated Employees making such Excess Contributions no later than December 15 following the

close of such Plan Year. The Highly Compensated Employee with the largest amounts of Before-Tax Contributions shall have his Before-Tax Contributions, excluding Catch-up Contributions, reduced to the greater of: (A) the highest dollar amount of Before-Tax Contributions, excluding Catch-up Contributions, that can be made without violating the limit of Paragraph 3.07(b)(i), or (B) the next highest dollar amount of Before-Tax Contributions, excluding Catch-up Contributions, of any other Highly Compensated Employee. Such process is repeated until Paragraph 3.07 (b)(i) is satisfied in accordance with Treasury Regulation §1.401(k)-1(f)(4)(ii). Distributions shall first be made from Unmatched Contributions, excluding Catch-up Contributions, then from Catch-up Contributions if any and lastly from Matched Contributions. The return of any Matched Contributions shall be accompanied by a forfeiture of the related Company Matching Contributions and any income attributable thereto. Such forfeited amounts shall be held by the Trustee in a suspense account and applied towards subsequent Company Matching Contributions.

               (ix) If, after application of the above provisions of Paragraph 3.07(b)(ii), Excess Aggregate Contributions are made to the Plan, such Excess Aggregate Contributions and the earnings attributable thereto shall be recharacterized as Catch-up Contributions to the extent that a Participant who is eligible to make Catch-up Contributions has not reached the applicable Catch-up Contribution limit for the calendar year described in Section 3.02(c).
