otherwise indicated herein.
The Plan was
established and is maintained for the benefit of Eligible Employees
of the Company and its participating Affiliates in order to provide
them with (1) a means of supplementing their retirement income
on a tax-favored basis, (2) an incentive to continue and

interest in the Company.

Section 401(a) of the Code), which includes a qualified cash
or deferred arrangement (within the meaning of Section 401(k)
of the Code), (b) a 404(c) plan (within the meaning of
Section 404(c) of ERISA), and (c) an eligible individual
account plan (within the meaning of Section 407(d)(3) of
ERISA). Effective as of January 1, 2008, the Plan
permits Participants to elect to make salary deferrals as
designated Roth contributions.
The Plan also is
designed to constitute a tax-qualified plan and related tax-exempt
trust under Sections 1165(a), 1165(e) and 1101(17) of the
Puerto Rico Internal Revenue Code of 1994, as amended, as detailed
in Appendix A.

SECTION 2
ELIGIBILITY AND
PARTICIPATION
2.1
Initial Eligibility . An Employee shall become a
Participant in the Plan on the date he or she becomes an Eligible
Employee.
2.2
Employer Aggregation . The status of an Employee as an
Eligible Employee shall not be adversely affected merely by reason
of his or her employment by more than one Employer during any Plan
Year. The transfer of a Participant from employment with
an Employer to employment with an Affiliate that is not an Employer
shall not constitute an event entitling the Participant to a
distribution under Section 7.
2.3.1
Active Participation . Each Participant’s
decision to become an Active Participant shall be entirely
voluntary. An Employee who has become a Participant
under Section 2.1 may elect to become an Active Participant as
of any Entry Date following the Employee’s receipt of his or
her first pay check from the Employer, provided that he or
she is then an Eligible Employee, and provided further ,
that he or she enrolls in the Plan and elects to make Elective
Deferrals, in such manner as the Committee (in its discretion)
shall specify, in accordance
with
Section 3. Such Employee’s status as an
Active Participant shall be effective as soon as administratively
feasible following his or her enrollment.
2.3.2
Inactive Participation . A Participant who does
not elect to become an Active Participant when first eligible to do
so, or whose active participation in the Plan is suspended pursuant
to Section 2.4, 2.5 or 8.2.3, shall be treated as an Inactive
Participant until the Entry Date as of which he or she elects to
become an Active Participant in accordance with Section 2.3.1
or Section 2.5(d).
2.3.3
Effect of Inactive Participation . An Inactive
Participant shall not be able to make Elective Deferrals nor share
in the allocation of Company Match Contributions, and he or she may
not later make the Elective Deferrals that he or she might
otherwise have made during the Participant’s period of
inactive participation in the Plan. However, an Inactive
Participant’s Account shall continue to share in the
allocation of earnings and gains (or losses) of the Trust Fund as
provided in Section 6.4. No distribution shall be
made to a Participant solely as the result of any suspension of his
or her active participation in the Plan.
2.4
Voluntary Suspension . An Active Participant may
voluntarily suspend his or her active participation in the Plan,
thereby suspending his or her Elective Deferrals and becoming an
Inactive Participant for future payroll periods during the
suspension period by giving notice to such person, in such manner
and within such advance notice period as the Committee (in its
discretion) shall specify. A Participant whose active
participation in the Plan has been voluntarily suspended pursuant
to this Section 2.4 may resume his or her status as an Active
Participant only in accordance with Section 2.3.1.
2.5
Mandatory Suspension . If a Participant
(1) ceases to be an Eligible Employee because he or she ceases
to meet the requirements of Section 1.19, (2) is
transferred to employment with an Affiliate which is not an
Employer, (3) is granted a Leave of Absence without pay,
(4) is on long-term disability, or (5) is placed on
layoff or furlough status, then:
(a) His
or her active participation in the Plan shall be suspended (in
accordance with Section 2.3.3) for each payroll period
beginning during the continuation of such ineligible
status;
(b) He
or she shall be treated as an Inactive Participant for the duration
of the suspension period; and
(c) After
he or she again becomes an Eligible Employee and the conditions
described in clauses (1) through (5) above cease to apply, his or
her status as an Active Participant may be resumed only in
accordance with Section 2.3.1.
(d) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if a Participant’s active participation in the
Plan is suspended because he or she is granted an unpaid Leave of
Absence, his or her status as an Active Participant automatically
will resume as of the Entry Date that coincides with or next
follows his or her return to active employment with an Employer
(provided that he or she is then an Eligible Employee).
2.6
Provision of Information . Each Participant shall
comply with such enrollment procedures as are required by the
Committee and shall make available to the Committee and the Trustee
any information they may reasonably request. By virtue
of his or her participation in the Plan, a Participant agrees, on
his or her own behalf and on behalf of all persons who may make any
claim arising out of, relating to, or resulting from his or her
participation in the Plan, to be bound by all of the provisions of
the Plan, the Trust Agreement and any other related
agreements.
2.7
Termination of Participation . An Eligible Employee
who has become a Participant shall remain a Participant until his
or her employment with all Employers and Affiliates terminates, or
if later, until his or her entire Account balance is
distributed.
2.8
Acquisitions . If determined by the Committee (in its
discretion), an Acquired Employee may elect to become an Active
Participant sooner than the date specified in
Section 2.3.1. As determined in the discretion of
the Committee, such date shall be as soon as administratively
feasible on or after the later of (a) the date on which the
Acquired Employee becomes an Eligible Employee, or (b) such
other date as may be specified by the Committee (which shall in no
event be later than the Entry Date following the Acquired
Employee’s receipt of his or her first pay check from the
Employer). For purposes of this Section 2.8, an
“ Acquired Employee ” is an Eligible Employee
who becomes an Employee by reason of the acquisition by the Company
or its Affiliate of the assets and liabilities of, or the voting
stock of, another corporation or other business entity, or another
type of business transaction effected by the Company or its
Affiliate.
2.9 Erroneous
Participation.
(a)
Erroneous Elective Deferrals . If Elective
Deferrals are erroneously made on behalf of an individual who is
not eligible to participate in the Plan and/or, in the case of
Catch-Up Contributions, who is determined not to be eligible to
make Catch-Up Contributions in accordance with Section 3.2,
then such amounts, including any earnings and gains (or losses)
thereon, shall be (1) segregated from all other Plan assets, (2)
treated as a nonqualified trust established by and for the benefit
of such individual, and (3) distributed to the individual as soon
as administratively practicable after discovery of such
error.
(b)
Other Erroneous Contributions . If any
contributions (other than Elective Deferrals, as set forth in
paragraph (a) above) are erroneously made on behalf of an
individual who is not entitled to such contributions, then such
contributions, including any earnings and gains (or losses)
thereon, shall be forfeited and utilized in accordance with
Section 6.8 or returned to the Employer in accordance with
Section 10.3, to the extent that such contributions are made
as a result of a good faith mistake of fact.
SECTION 3
ELECTIVE
DEFERRALS
3.1
Employee Pre-Tax Contributions and Roth Basic Contributions
.
3.1.1
General . Each Active Participant may elect to
defer portions of his or her Compensation payments and to have the

January 1, 2008, Roth Basic Contributions, contributed by the
Employer to the Trust Fund and credited to his or her Employee
Pre-Tax Account or Roth Basic Account, as applicable, under the
Plan, provided that he or she elects to make Elective
Deferrals in accordance with Section 3.3. Subject
to Section 5.5, an Active Participant may elect to

addition to any election made under subsection (a) above, a portion
of any Eligible Bonus payment that would otherwise be made to him
or her, after the election becomes and while it remains effective,
equal to any whole percentage from 1% to 99% (inclusive) (or such
lesser percentage as is determined by the Company to comply with
mandatory tax withholding and applicable payroll deductions) of
such payment.
3.1.2
Section 401(k) Ceiling . Notwithstanding any
contrary Plan provision, the Committee:
(a) May
suspend or limit any Participant’s salary deferral election
at any time in order to prevent the cumulative amount of the
Employee Pre-Tax Contributions and Roth Basic Contributions
contributed on behalf of the Participant for any calendar year from
exceeding the Section 401(k) Ceiling, except to the extent
permitted under Section 3.2 and Section 414(v) of the
Code.
(b) Shall
cause any amount allocated to the Participant’s combined Pre
Tax 401(k) Deferrals Account and Roth Basic Account (combined) as
an excess deferral (calculated by taking into account only amounts
deferred under this and any other cash or deferred arrangement
maintained by any Employer or Affiliate and qualified under
Section 401(k) of the Code), together with any income or loss
allocable thereto for the calendar year to which the excess
deferral relates, as well as, for the Gap Period, to be distributed
to the Participant no later than the April 15 that next
follows the year of deferral in accordance with
Section 402(g)(2)(A) of the Code. For this purpose,
the “ Gap Period ” means the period beginning on
the first day of the subsequent Plan Year and ending on either the
day before the date of distribution or on a date selected in
accordance with the safe harbor method set forth in Treasury
Regulations § 1.401(k)-2(b)(2)(iv)(D).
(c) May
cause any other amount allocated to the Participant’s
Employee Pre-Tax Account and/or Roth Basic Account and designated
by the Participant as an excess deferral, together with any income
or loss allocable thereto for the calendar year to which the excess
deferral relates, as well as for the Gap Period, to be distributed
to the Participant in accordance with Section 402(g)(2)(A) of
the Code.
(d) Shall
cause any Company Match Contributions allocated to the
Participant’s Company Match Account by reason of any excess
deferral distributed pursuant to subsection (b) or (c), together
with any income or loss allocable thereto for the calendar year to
which the excess deferral relates, as well as for the Gap Period,
to be forfeited at the time such distribution is made and applied
to reduce the next succeeding Matching Contribution to the
Plan.
For purposes of this
Section 3.1.2 and Section 4.1.2, the “
Section 401(k) Ceiling ” means the dollar limit
prescribed in Section 402(g)(1) of the Code, as adjusted
pursuant to Sections 402(g)(5) and 415(d) of the Code (
e.g. , $15,500 in 2008 and $16,500 in 2009).
3.1.3
Limitations on HCE Participants . For any Plan
Year, the Committee (in its discretion) may limit the period for
which, and/or specify a lesser maximum percentage at which,
Employee Pre-Tax Contributions and Roth Basic Contributions may be
elected by HCE Participants (as defined in Section 3.1.4) in
such manner as may be necessary or appropriate in order to assure
that the limitation described in Section 3.1.5 will be
satisfied.
3.1.4
HCE and Non-HCE Participants . All Participants
who are Eligible Employees at any time during a Plan Year (whether
or not they are Active Participants), and who are Highly
Compensated Employees with respect to the Plan Year, shall be
“ HCE Participants ” for the Plan
Year. All other Participants who are Eligible Employees
at any time during the Plan Year shall be “ Non-HCE
Participants ” for the Plan Year.
3.1.5
Deferral Percentage Limitation . In no event
shall the actual deferral percentage, determined in accordance with
Section 3.1.6 (the “ ADP ”), for the HCE
Participants for a
Plan Year exceed the
maximum ADP, as determined by reference to the ADP for the Non-HCE
Participants, in accordance with the following table:
|
If the
ADP for the Non-HCE
Participants
(“NHCEs’ ADP”) is:
|
Then the
Maximum ADP for
the HCE
Participants is:

More than
8%
|
2.0 x
NHCEs’ ADP

2%
1.25 x
NHCEs’ ADP
|
3.1.6
Actual Deferral Percentage . The actual deferral
percentage for the HCE or Non-HCE Participants for any Plan Year
shall be calculated by computing the average of the deferral
percentages (calculated separately for each HCE or Non-HCE
Participant) (the “ Deferral Rates ”) determined
by dividing (1) the total for the Plan Year of all Employee
Pre-Tax Contributions and Roth Basic Contributions made by the
Participant and credited to his or her Pre-Tax 401(k) Deferral
Account or Roth 401(k) Deferral Account, as applicable, by
(2) the Participant’s Testing Compensation (as defined
in Section 3.1.7) for the Plan Year. In computing a
Participant’s Deferral Rate, the following special rules
shall apply:
(a) If
any Employer or Affiliate maintains any other cash or deferred
arrangement which is aggregated by the Company with this Plan for
purposes of applying Section 401(a)(4) or 410(b) of the Code,
then all such cash or deferred arrangements shall be treated as one
plan for purposes of applying Section 3.1.5.
(b) If
an HCE Participant is a participant in any other cash or deferred
arrangement maintained by any Employer or Affiliate and qualified
under Section 401(k) of the Code, the separate deferral rates
determined for the Participant under all such cash or deferred
arrangements shall be aggregated with the separate Deferral Rate
determined for the Participant under this Section 3.1.6 for
purposes of applying Section 3.1.5.
3.1.7
Testing Compensation . For purposes of applying
Sections 3.1, 3.3 and 4.1 and the non-discrimination tests of
Sections 401(k)(3) and 401(m)(2) of the Code, “
Testing Compensation ” means with respect to any
Participant, his or her Total Compensation (as defined
in
Section 5.5.2(e)
and applied using the definition of “Affiliate” in
Section 1.2 rather than in Section 5.5.2(a)), subject to
the following:
(a) For
any Plan Year, the Committee may specify an alternate definition of
Testing Compensation, provided that such alternate definition
satisfies the applicable requirements of Treasury Regulations
§ 1.401(k)-6;
(b) No
amount in excess of the Compensation Limit shall be taken into
account under this Section 3.1.7 for any Plan Year;
and

for periods prior to the time that the individual became a
Participant shall not be taken into account.
3.2

Contributions) for the Plan Year in accordance with, and subject to
the limitations of, Section 414(v) of the Code. An
Active Participant who meets the foregoing requirements may elect
to defer a portion of each payment of Compensation that would
otherwise be made to him or her, after the election becomes and
while it remains effective, equal to any whole percentage from 1%
to 75% (inclusive) of such payment.
(b)
Certain Code Limitations Inapplicable . A
Participant’s Catch-Up Contributions shall not be taken into
account for purposes of applying Plan provisions implementing the
required limitations of Sections 402(g) and 415 of the Code,
and the Plan shall not be treated as failing to satisfy Plan
provisions implementing the requirements of Section 401(k)(3),
401(k)(11), 401(k)(12), 410(b) or 416 of the Code, as applicable,
by reason of Catch-Up Contributions being or having been made under
the Plan.
(c)
No Company Match Contributions . Catch-Up
Contributions shall not be eligible for Company Match Contributions
under the Plan.
(d)
Crediting of Catch-Up Contributions . A
Participant’s Catch-Up Contributions shall be credited to his
or her Employee Pre-Tax Catch-Up Account or Roth Catch-Up Account,
as applicable, under the Plan.
3.3
Deferral Elections . Each Active Participant shall
determine the percentage(s) of his or her Compensation that shall
be deferred and contributed to the Trust Fund as his or her
Employee Pre-Tax Contributions, Roth Basic Contributions, Employee
Pre-Tax Catch-Up Contributions and/or
Roth Catch-Up
Contributions in accordance with Sections 3.1.1 and 3.2,
respectively, at the time he or she becomes an Active
Participant. The Participant thereafter may redetermine
such percentage(s) from time to time in accordance with
3.3.2. In either event –
(a) The
Active Participant shall make such Elective Deferral elections, in
such manner and within such advance notice period as the Committee
(in its discretion) shall specify;
(b) No
Employee Pre-Tax Contributions or Roth Basic Contributions shall be
made by any Active Participant except in accordance with his or her
Elective Deferral election and the limitations of Sections 3.1
and 5.5; and
(c) No
Employee Pre-Tax Catch-Up Contributions or Roth Catch-Up
Contributions shall be made by any Active Participant except in
accordance with his or her Elective Deferral election and the
limitations of Section 3.2.
3.3.1
Amounts . Notwithstanding anything in
Section 3.1.1 (other than Eligible Bonus deferral elections in
accordance with Section 3.1.1(b)) or 3.2 to the contrary, no Active
Participant may elect to defer an amount of his or her Compensation
for any pay period as all types of Elective Deferrals that, when
combined, exceeds 75% of each payment of
Compensation. The amount of Elective Deferrals that may
be made by each Active Participant for each payroll period shall be
the amount in dollars and cents that is nearest to the amount of
Compensation subject to the deferral election(s) multiplied by the
percentage(s) elected by the Participant pursuant to
Section 3.1.1 or 3.2(a), as applicable.
3.3.2
Changes . An Active Participant may change the
percentage(s) determined under the first sentence of this
Section 3.3 by giving notice in such manner and within such
advance notice period as the Committee (in its discretion) shall
specify, effective with respect to Compensation paid on such date
as the Committee (in its discretion) may specify. The
Elective Deferral elections made by an Active Participant shall
remain in effect until his or her active
participation in the
Plan is terminated, except to the extent that the election is
suspended in accordance with Sections 2.4, 2.5 or 8.2.3,
changed in accordance with this Section 3.3.2, or reduced
pursuant to Section 3.1.2 or 3.1.3 (as applicable).
3.3.3
Potential Excess ADP . In the event that (but for
the application of this Section 3.3.3) the Committee
determines that the ADP for HCE Participants would exceed the
maximum permitted under Section 3.1.5 for a Plan Year (the
“ ADP Maximum ”), then the Committee (in its
discretion) may reduce, in accordance with Section 3.1.3, the
percentages or amounts of Pre Tax 401(k) Deferrals and/or Roth
Basic Contributions subsequently to be contributed on behalf of the
HCE Participants by such percentages or amounts as, and for as long
as, the Committee (in its discretion) may determine is necessary or
appropriate in the circumstances then prevailing. If the
Committee determines that it is no longer necessary to reduce the
Pre Tax 401(k) Deferrals and/or Roth Basic Contributions
contributed on behalf of the HCE Participants, the Committee (in
its discretion) may permit some or all HCE Participants, on a
uniform and nondiscriminatory basis, to make new Elective Deferral
elections with respect to their subsequent Compensation payments
and with respect to Pre Tax 401(k) Deferrals and/or Roth Basic
Contributions, and shall establish a policy as to the deferral
percentages that shall apply with respect to those HCE Participants
who do not make new elections.
3.3.4
Actual Excess ADP . In the event that the
Committee determines that the ADP for the HCE Participants exceeds
the ADP Maximum for any Plan Year, then the amount of any excess
contributions (within the meaning of Section 401(k)(8)(B) of
the Code) contributed on behalf of any HCE Participant shall be
distributed, together with any income or loss allocable thereto
for
the Plan Year to which
the excess contributions relate, to the HCE Participant before the
close of the next following Plan Year.
(a)
Determination and Allocation of Excess Contributions
. The amount of excess contributions for HCE
Participants for the Plan Year shall be determined and allocated
among HCE Participants in the following manner:
(1) With
respect to each HCE Participant whose Deferral Rate exceeds the ADP
Maximum, the Committee shall calculate an excess contribution
amount by calculating the excess of (A) his or her Pre Tax
401(k) Deferrals and/or Roth Basic Contributions, over (B) the
product of the ADP Maximum times his or her Testing
Compensation. The aggregate of the excess contributions
for all such HCE Participants shall be the total excess
contributions to be distributed pursuant to this
Section 3.3.4.
(2) The
Pre Tax 401(k) Deferrals and/or Roth Basic Contributions of the HCE
Participant with the highest total dollar amount of Pre Tax 401(k)
Deferrals and/or Roth Basic Contributions contributed shall be
reduced to the extent necessary to cause the total dollar amount of
his or her Pre Tax 401(k) Deferrals and/or Roth Basic Contributions
contributed to equal the lesser of the dollar amount of excess
contributions for all HCE Participants calculated pursuant to
subsection (a)(1) above or the dollar amount of Pre Tax 401(k)
Deferrals and/or Roth Basic Contributions of the HCE Participant
with the next highest total dollar amount of Pre Tax 401(k)
Deferrals and/or Roth Basic Contributions
contributed. This process shall be repeated until the
total dollar amount of reductions of such Pre Tax 401(k) Deferrals
and/or Roth Basic Contributions equals the total excess
contributions calculated pursuant to subsection (a)(1)
above.
(3) The
amount of excess contributions to be distributed to an HCE
Participant pursuant to this Section 3.3.4 shall be equal to
the total amount by which his or her actual Pre Tax 401(k)
Deferrals and/or Roth Basic Contributions is reduced under
subsection (a)(2) above, but reduced by the amount of any excess
deferrals previously distributed to the HCE Participant for the
Plan Year under Section 3.1.2.
(b)
Forfeiture of Related Company Match Contributions
. Any Company Match Contributions allocated to the HCE
Participant’s Company Match Account by reason of any excess
contributions distributed pursuant to this Section 3.3.4,
together with any income allocable thereto for the Plan Year to
which the excess contributions relate, shall be forfeited and
applied to reduce the next succeeding Matching Contribution to the
Plan.
(c)
Incorporation By Reference . The foregoing
provisions of this Section 3 are intended to satisfy the
requirements of Section 401(k)(3) of the Code and, to the
extent not otherwise stated above, the provisions of
Section 401(k)(3) of the Code, Treasury Regulations
§ 1.401(k)-1(a)(iv) (to the extent not inconsistent with
amendments to the Code), and subsequent Internal Revenue Service
guidance under Section 401(k)(3) of the Code are incorporated
herein by reference.
3.4
Payment of Elective Deferrals . Subject to the
foregoing provisions of this Section 3, Sections 5.5,
10.3 and Section 11, the Employers shall pay to the Trust Fund
the amounts elected by Active Participants to be contributed as
Elective Deferrals. Any Elective Deferrals to be
contributed for a payroll period in accordance with the preceding
sentence shall be paid to the Trust Fund as soon as
administratively practicable thereafter, and in no event later than
the 15th business day of the month that next follows the month in
which such Compensation was paid.
SECTION 4
EMPLOYER
CONTRIBUTIONS
4.1
Company Match Contributions . Subject to the
provisions of this Section 4.1, Sections 5.5, 10.3 and
Section 11, the Employers shall contribute to the Trust Fund
as Company Match Contributions amounts equal to the
following:
4.1.1
Basic Company Match Contributions . The Employer
will make Company Match Contributions for each eligible Active

the pay period, but not to exceed 5% of the eligible Active
Participant’s Compensation for the pay period against which

4.1.2
True-Up Company Match Contributions . In addition
to the Company Match Contributions set forth in Section 4.1.1,
the Employer will make additional Company Match Contributions for
the Plan Year, to be allocated as of the last Valuation Date of the
Plan Year to eligible Participants as an adjustment to take into
account any changes in Compensation or Participant deferral
elections which may have occurred during the Plan
Year. The amount of the additional Company Match
Contributions for each eligible Participant shall be equal to
the
difference, if any,
between (i) the Company Match Contributions allocated to the
eligible Participant pursuant to Section 4.1.1 for the Plan
Year, and (ii) a Matching Contribution equal to 100% of the
eligible Participant’s Employee Pre-Tax Contributions and/or,
effective January 1, 2008, Roth Basic Contributions for the Plan

Compensation for the Plan Year. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the only Compensation that shall be taken into account
with respect to a Participant for purposes of this additional

Contributions and Roth Basic Contributions for any payroll
period. In no event shall the amount of any Catch-Up
Contributions contributed to any Participant’s Employee

appropriate in order to assure that the limitation described in
Section 4.1.5 will be satisfied.
4.1.5
Contribution Percentage Limitation . In no event
shall the actual contribution percentage, determined in accordance
with Section 4.1.6 (the “ ACP ”), for the
HCE Participants for a Plan Year exceed the maximum ACP, as

4.1.6
Actual Contribution Percentage . The actual
contribution percentage for the HCE or Non-HCE Participants for a
Plan Year shall be calculated by computing the average of the
percentages (calculated separately for each HCE or Non-HCE
Participant) (the “ Contribution Rates ”)
determined by dividing (a) the total of all Company Match
Contributions made on behalf of the Participant and credited to his
or her Company Match Account for the Plan Year, by (b) the
Participant’s Testing Compensation (as defined in
Section 3.1.7) for the Plan Year. The special
testing and aggregation rules set forth in Section 3.1.6 with
respect to calculation of the Participants’ Deferral Rates
shall also apply to the calculation of their Contribution
Rates.
4.1.7
Potential Excess ACP . In the event that (but for
the application of this Section 4.1.7) the Committee
determines that the ACP for the HCE Participants would exceed the
maximum permitted under Section 4.1.5 for a Plan Year (the
“ ACP Maximum ”), then the Committee (in its
discretion) may reduce, in accordance with Section 4.1.4, the
percentages or amounts of
Company Match
Contributions subsequently to be made on behalf of the HCE
Participants by such percentages or amounts as, and for as long as,
the Committee (in its discretion) may determine is necessary or
appropriate in the circumstances then prevailing.
4.1.8
Actual Excess ACP . In the event that the
Committee determines that the ACP for the HCE Participants exceeds
the ACP Maximum for a Plan Year, then the amount of any excess
aggregate contributions (within the meaning of
Section 401(m)(6)(B) of the Code) contributed on behalf of any
HCE Participant shall be distributed, together with any income or
loss allocable thereto for the Plan Year to which the excess
aggregate contributions relate, to the HCE Participant before the
close of the next following Plan Year.
(a)
Determination and Allocation of Excess Aggregate
Contributions . The amount of excess aggregate
contributions for HCE Participants for the Plan Year shall be
determined and allocated among HCE Participants in the manner
provided in Section 3.3.4 with respect to excess
contributions.

Determination of Allocable Income . The income
allocable to any excess aggregate contributions for the Plan Year
shall be determined in the manner provided in Section 3.3.4
with respect to excess contributions.

Incorporation By Reference . The foregoing
provisions of this Section 4.1 are intended to satisfy the
requirements of Section 401(m) of the Code and, to the extent
not otherwise stated above, the provisions of

allocation of the Non-Elective Contribution pursuant to
Section 5.3.
4.3
Timing . Subject to the foregoing provisions of this
Section 4, Section 10.3 and Section 11, Employer

ends with or within the Plan Year for which the Contributions are
made.
4.4
Periodic Contributions . Subject to the foregoing
provisions of this Section 4, Sections 5.4 and
Section 11, any Employer Contributions to be made for a Plan
Year may be paid in installments from time to time during or after
the Plan Year for which they are made. The Employers
shall specify, as to each Employer Contribution payment made to the
Trust Fund, the Plan Year to which the payment
relates. The Employers intend the Plan to be permanent,
but the Employers do not obligate themselves to make any Employer
Contributions under the Plan whatsoever.
4.5
Reinstatements . The Employers shall also contribute
to the Trust Fund any amount necessary to reinstate a closed
Account pursuant to Section 7.8.
4.6
Profits Not Required . Each Employer shall make any
contributions otherwise required to be made for a Plan Year without
regard to its current or accumulated earnings or profits for the
taxable year that ends with or within the Plan Year for which the
contributions are made. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Plan is designed to qualify as a profit sharing plan under
Section 401(a) of the Code.

to his or her Pre
Tax 401(k) Deferrals
Account, Roth Basic Account, Employee Pre-Tax Catch-Up Account or
Roth Catch-Up Account, as applicable, as of the Valuation Date that
coincides with or next follows the date on which such Elective
Deferrals are received by the Trustee.
5.2
Company Match Contributions . Except as provided in
Section 4.1.8, the Company Match Contributions made on behalf
of a Participant shall be allocated to his or her Company Match
Account as of the Valuation Date that coincides with or next
follows the date on which such Company Match Contributions are
received by the Trustee.
5.3
Non-Elective Contributions . Any Non-Elective
Contributions made by an Employer for a Plan Year shall be
allocated, as of the Valuation Date that coincides with or next
follows the date on which such Non-Elective Contributions are
received by the Trustee, to the Non-Elective Contributions Accounts
of:
(a) All
Participants (as determined under Section 2) who are Eligible
Employees as of the last Valuation Date of the Plan Year for which
the Non-Elective Contributions were made; and
(b) Those
Participants who, during such Plan Year, ceased to be Employees on
account of death or Disability.
The portion of the
Employer’s Non-Elective Contributions to be allocated to the
Non-Elective Contribution Account of each Participant who is
eligible to share in the allocation pursuant to the preceding
sentence shall be determined by multiplying the total amount of the
Non-Elective Contributions by a fraction, of which (1) the
numerator is the total Compensation received by the Participant
while employed by the Employer during the Plan Year, and (2) the
denominator is the aggregate total Compensation of all such
Participants eligible to share in the allocation for such Plan
Year.
5.4
Investment . Each Participant (or, if deceased, his or
her Beneficiary) shall elect, in such manner and at such times as

Beneficiary) may specify as to any Investment Fund any percentage
that is a whole multiple of 1%, provided that the total of
the percentages specified shall not exceed 100%.
5.4.1
Changes . The elections of a Participant (or
Beneficiary) concerning the investment of the amounts allocated to

time to time. The designated procedures may include such
rules and limitations ( e.g. , with respect to the timing
and frequency of elections) as the Committee may specify from time
to time, but at all times shall permit Participants (and
Beneficiaries) to make investment changes in a manner designed to
permit the Plan to qualify as a 404(c) plan (within the meaning of
Section 404(c) of ERISA).
5.4.2
Failure to Elect . If a Participant (or
Beneficiary) fails to direct the manner in which the amounts
allocated (or to be allocated) to his or her Account are to be
invested, such amounts shall be invested in the Investment Fund
designated by the Committee for such purpose. Whenever
the Committee discontinues an Investment Fund and the Participant
(or Beneficiary) does not make a new election with respect to
amounts allocated (or to be allocated) to the discontinued
Investment Fund, such amounts shall be invested in the Investment
Fund designated by the Committee for such purpose.
