expected to result in death or last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months, receiving income replacement benefits for a period of not less than 3 months under an accident and health plan covering employees of the Employer employing the Participant. A Participant will be considered Disabled if he is determined to be totally disabled by the Social Security Administration or the Railroad Retirement Board.

2-2




 

 

 

does not occur if the Participant is on military leave, sick leave or other bona fide leave of absence if the period of leave does not exceed 6 months or such longer period during which the Participant’s right to re-employment is provided by statute or contract. A leave of absence constitutes a bona fide leave of absence only if there is a reasonable expectation that the Participant will return to perform services for the Related Employer. If the period of leave exceeds 6 months and the Participant’s right to re-employment is not provided either by statute or contract, a Separation from Service will be deemed to have occurred on the first day following the 6-month period. If the period of leave is due to any medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 6 months, where the impairment causes the Participant to be unable to perform the duties of his position of employment or any substantially similar position of employment, a 29-month period of absence shall be substituted for the 6-month period.

 

 

Whether a termination of employment has occurred is based on whether the facts and circumstances indicate that the Related Employer and the Participant reasonably anticipated that no further services would be performed after a certain date or that the level of bona fide services the Participant would perform after such date (whether as an employee or as an independent contractor) would permanently decrease to no more than 20% of the average level of bona fide services performed (whether as an employee or an independent contractor) over the immediately preceding 36-month period (or the full period of services to the Related Employer if the employee has been providing services to the Related Employer for less than 36 months).

 

   

 

 

An independent contractor is considered to have experienced a Separation from Service with the Related Employer upon the expiration of the contract (or, in the case of more than one contract all contracts) under which services are performed for the Related Employer if the expiration constitutes a good-faith and complete termination of the contractual relationship.

 

   

 

 

If a Participant provides services as both an employee and an independent contractor of the Related Employer, the Participant must separate from service both as an employee and as an independent contractor to be treated as having incurred a Separation from Service. If a Participant ceases providing services as an independent contractor and begins providing services as an employee, or ceases providing services as an employee and begins providing services as an independent contractor, the Participant will not be considered to have experienced a Separation from Service until the Participant has ceased providing services in both capacities.

2-3




 

 

 

If a Participant provides services both as an employee and as a member of the board of directors of a corporate Related Employer (or an analogous position with respect to a noncorporate Related Employer), the services provided as a director are not taken into account in determining whether the Participant has incurred a Separation from Service as an employee for purposes of a nonqualified deferred compensation plan in which the Participant participates as an employee that is not aggregated under Code Section 409A with any plan in which the Participant participates as a director.

 

   

 

 

If a Participant provides services both as an employee and as a member of board of directors of a corporate related Employer (or an analogous position with respect to a noncorporate Related Employer), the services provided as an employee are not taken into account in determining whether the Participant has experienced a Separation from Service as a director for purposes of a nonqualified deferred compensation plan in which the Participant participates as a director that is not aggregated under Code Section 409A with any plan in which the Participant participates as an employee.

 

   

 

 

For purposes of this Section 2.20, the term Related Employer shall have the meaning set forth in Section 2.18, except that (i) "at least 50%" shall be substituted for "at least 80%" where the latter appears in Code Sections 1563(a)(1), (2), and (3) for purposes of determining a controlled group of corporations under Code Section 414(b), and (ii) "at least 50%" shall be substituted for "at least 80%" where the latter appears in Reg. Sec. 1.414(c)-2 for purposes of determining trades or businesses (whether or not incorporated) that are under common control for purposes of Code Section 414(c).

 

   

 

 

All determinations of whether a Separation from Service has occurred will be made in accordance with Code Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(i) and the final regulations thereunder.

 

   

2.21

 

"Specified Employee" means an employee who satisfies the conditions set forth in Section 9.6.

 

   

2.22

 

"Unforeseeable Emergency" means a severe financial hardship of the Participant resulting from an illness or accident of the Participant, the Participant’s spouse, or the Participant’s dependent (as defined in Code Section 152, without regard to Code Section 152(b)(1), (b)(2) and (d)(1)(B); loss of the Participant’s property due to casualty; or other similar extraordinary and unforeseeable circumstances arising as a result of events beyond the control of the Participant.

2-4




 

 

 

All determinations of whether an Unforeseeable Emergency has occurred will be made in accordance with Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(ii) and the final regulations thereunder.

ARTICLE 4 — PARTICIPANT ELECTIONS

4.1

 

Deferral Form. If permitted by the Plan Sponsor in accordance with Section 4.01 of the Adoption Agreement, each Director may elect to defer his Compensation within the meaning of Section 3.01 of the Adoption Agreement by executing in writing or electronically, a deferral form in accordance with rules and procedures established by the Administrator, the provisions of this Article 4, and Code Section 409A(a)(4)(B) and the final regulations thereunder.

 

   

 

 

A new deferral form must be timely executed for each Plan Year during which the Director desires to defer Compensation. A Director who does not timely execute a deferral form shall be deemed to have elected zero deferrals of Compensation for such Plan Year.

 

   

 

 

A deferral form may be changed or revoked during the period specified by the Administrator. Except as provided in Section 9.3 or in Section 4.01(c) of the Adoption Agreement, a deferral form becomes irrevocable at the close of the specified period.

Amount of Deferral. A Director may elect to defer Compensation in any amount permitted by Section 4.01(a) of the Adoption Agreement.

 

   

4.3

 

Timing of Election to Defer. Each Director who desires to defer Compensation otherwise payable during a Plan Year must execute a deferral form within the period preceding the Plan Year specified by the Administrator. In addition, if the Compensation qualifies as ‘fiscal year compensation’ within the meaning of Reg. Sec. 1.409A -2(a)(6), the deferral form may be made not later than the end of the Employer’s taxable year immediately preceding the first taxable year of the Employer in which any services are performed for which such Compensation is payable.

 

   

 

 

Except as otherwise provided below, a Director who is designated as eligible to participate during a Plan Year may elect to defer Compensation otherwise payable during the remainder of such Plan Year in accordance with the rules of this Section 4.3 by executing a deferral form within the 30-day period beginning on the date the Director is designated as eligible, if permitted by Section 2.01 of the Adoption Agreement. The rules of this paragraph shall not apply unless the Director can be treated as initially eligible in accordance with Reg. Sec. 1.409A-2(a)(7).

4-1




 
 

4.4

 

Election of Payment Schedule and Form of Payment.

 

   

 

 

All elections of a payment schedule and a form of payment will be made in accordance with rules and procedures established by the Administrator and the provisions of this Section 4.4, as determined in accordance with Reg. Sec. 1.409A-2(a).

(a) If the Plan Sponsor has elected to permit annual distribution elections in accordance with Section 6.01(h) of the Adoption Agreement the following rules apply. At the time a Director completes a deferral form, the Director must irrevocably elect (i) a distribution event (which includes a specified time) and form of payment for the Compensation subject to the deferral form that may be credited to the Participant’s Account during the Plan Year from among the options the Plan Sponsor has made available for this purpose and which are specified in 6.01(b) of the Adoption Agreement, and (ii) the time of commencement of distributions from the options the Plan Sponsor has made available for this purpose which are specified in 6.01(a) of the Adoption Agreement. If a Director fails to elect a distribution event, he shall be deemed to have elected Separation from Service as the distribution event. If a Director fails to elect a form of payment, he shall be deemed to have elected a lump sum as the form of payment. If a Director fails to elect a time of commencement, he shall be deemed to have elected the last business day of the month in which occurs the 60th day following Separation from Service. Subject to Article 9, distributions shall be made to a Director upon the earliest to occur of the events specified in 6.01(a) of the Adoption Agreement. (b) If the Plan Sponsor has elected not to permit annual distribution elections in accordance with Section 6.01(h) of the Adoption Agreement the following rules apply. At the time a Director first completes a deferral form, the Director must irrevocably elect a distribution event (which includes a specified time) and a form of payment for amounts credited to his Account from among the options the Plan Sponsor has made available for this purpose and which are specified in Section 6.01(b) of the Adoption Agreement. If a Director fails to elect a distribution event, he shall be deemed to have elected Separation from Service in the distribution event. If he fails to elect a form of payment, he shall be deemed to have elected a lump sum as the form of payment.

If permitted by Section 9.01 of the Adoption Agreement, a Participant (or the Participant’s Beneficiary after the death of the Participant) may, in accordance with rules and procedures established by the Administrator, select the investments from among the options provided in Section 7.1 to be used for the purpose of calculating future hypothetical investment adjustments to the Account or to future credits to the Account under Section 6.2 effective as the Valuation Date coincident with or next following notice to the Administrator. Each Account shall be adjusted as of each Valuation Date to reflect: (a) the hypothetical earnings, expenses, gains and losses described above; (b) amounts credited pursuant to Section 6.2; and (c) distributions or withdrawals. In addition, each Account may be adjusted for its allocable share of the hypothetical costs and expenses associated with the maintenance of the hypothetical investments provided in Section 7.1.

7-1




 
 

ARTICLE 8 — RIGHT TO BENEFITS

8.1

 

Vesting. Except as otherwise provided in Article 13.1, 13.2 and 13.3, a Participant, at all times, has the 100% nonforfeitable interest in the amounts credited to his Account attributable to his elective deferrals made in accordance with Section 4.1.

 

   

8.2

 

Death. The Plan Sponsor may elect to permit distributions upon Death in accordance with Section 6.01(b) or Section 6.01(d) of the Adoption Agreement. If the Plan Sponsor does not elect to permit distributions upon death in accordance with Section 6.01(b) or Section 6.01(d) of the Adoption Agreement, the vested amount credited to the Participant’s Account will be paid in accordance with the provisions of Article 9.

 

   

 

 

A Participant may designate a Beneficiary or Beneficiaries, or change any prior designation of Beneficiary or Beneficiaries in accordance with rules and procedures established by the Administrator.

 

   

 

 

A copy of the death notice or other sufficient documentation must be filed with and approved by the Administrator. If upon the death of the Participant there is, in the opinion of the Administrator, no designated Beneficiary for part or all of the Participant’s vested Account, such amount will be paid to his estate (such estate shall be deemed to be the Beneficiary for purposes of the Plan) in accordance with the provisions of Article 9.

 

   

8.3

 

Disability. The Plan Sponsor may elect to permit distributions upon Disability in accordance with Section 6.01(b) or Section 6.01(d) of the Adoption Agreement, the determination of whether a Participant has incurred a Disability shall be made by the Administrator in its sole discretion.

8-1




 
 

ARTICLE 9 — DISTRIBUTION OF BENEFITS

9.1

 

Amount of Benefits. The vested amount credited to a Participant’s Account as determined under Articles 6, 7 and 8 shall determine and constitute the basis for the value of benefits payable to the Participant under the Plan.

 

   

9.2

 

Method and Timing of Distributions. Except as otherwise provided in this Article 9 and Article 10, distributions under the Plan shall be made in accordance with the elections made or deemed made by the Participant under Article 4. Subject to the provisions of Section 9.6 requiring a 6 month delay for certain distributions to Specified Employees, distributions following a payment event shall commence at the time specified in Section 6.01(a) of the Adoption Agreement. If permitted by Section 6.01(g) of the Adoption Agreement, a Participant may irrevocably elect, at least 12 months before a scheduled distribution event, to delay the payment date for a minimum period of 60 months from the originally scheduled date of payment, provided that, such irrevocable election will be effective no earlier than 12 months after it is made, in accordance with Code Section 409A(a)(4)(C) and the final regulations thereunder. The distribution election change must be made in accordance with procedures and rules established by the Administrator. The Participant may, at the same time the date of payment is deferred, change the form of payment but such change in the form of payment may not effect an acceleration of payment in violation of Code Section 409A(a)(3) or the provisions of Reg. Sec. 1.409A-2(b). For purposes of this Section 9.2, a series of installment payments is always treated as a single payment and not as a series of separate payments.

 

   

9.3

 

Unforeseeable Emergency. A Participant may request a distribution due to an Unforeseeable Emergency if the Plan Sponsor has elected to permit Unforeseeable Emergency withdrawals under Section 8.01(a) of the Adoption Agreement. The request must be in writing and must be submitted to the Administrator along with evidence that the circumstances constitute an Unforeseeable Emergency. The Administrator has the discretion to require whatever evidence it deems necessary to determine whether a distribution is warranted. Whether a Participant has incurred an Unforeseeable Emergency will be determined by the Administrator on the basis of the relevant facts and circumstances in its sole discretion, but, in no event, will a distribution on account of an Unforeseeable Emergency be made to the extent the Unforeseeable Emergency is or may be relieved: (a) through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise, (b) by liquidation of the Participant’s assets to the extent such liquidation would not itself cause severe financial hardship, or (c) by

9-1




 

 

 

cessation of deferrals under the Plan. A distribution due to an Unforeseeable Emergency must be limited to the amount reasonably necessary to satisfy the emergency need and may include any amounts necessary to pay any federal, state, local or foreign income taxes or penalties reasonably anticipated to result from the distribution. The distribution will be made in the form of a single lump sum cash payment. The distribution may be made from any nonqualified plan in which the Participant participates that provides for payment upon an Unforeseeable Emergency, provided that the nonqualified plan under which payment is to be made was designated at the time of payment. If permitted by Section 8.01(b) of the Adoption Agreement, a Participant’s deferral elections for the remainder of the Plan Year will not be cancelled upon a withdrawal due to Unforeseeable Emergency. If the payment of all or any portion of the Participant’s vested Account is being delayed in accordance with Section 9.6 at the time he experiences an Unforeseeable Emergency, the amount being delayed shall not be subject to the provisions of this Section 9.3 until the expiration of the 6-month period of delay required by Section 9.6.

9.4

 

Payment Election Overrides. If the Plan Sponsor has elected one or more payment election overrides in accordance with Section 6.01(d) of the Adoption Agreement, the following provisions apply. Upon the occurrence of the first event selected by the Plan Sponsor, the remaining vested amount credited to the Participant’s Account shall be paid in the form designated to the Participant or his Beneficiary regardless of whether the Participant had made different elections of time and /or form of payment or whether the Participant was receiving installment payments at the time of the event.

 

   

9.5

 

Cashouts Of Amounts Not Exceeding Stated Limit. If the vested amount credited to the Participant’s Account does not exceed the limit established for this purpose by the Plan Sponsor in Section 6.01(e) of the Adoption Agreement at the time he incurs a Separation from Service for any reason, the Employer shall distribute such amount to the Participant at the time specified in Section 6.01(a)(i)(B) of the Adoption Agreement in a single lump sum cash payment following such Separation from Service regardless of whether the Participant had made different elections of time or form of payment as to the vested amount credited to his Account or whether the Participant was receiving installments at the time of such termination. The cashout of any amounts described in Section 1.3 shall be determined in accordance with Appendix B of the Adoption Agreement.

 

   

9.6

 

Required Delay in Payment to Specified Employees . Except as otherwise provided in this Section 9.6, a distribution made on account of Separation from Service (or Retirement, if applicable) to a Participant who is a Specified Employee as of the date of his Separation from Service (or Retirement, if applicable) shall not be made before the date which is 6

9-2




 

 

 

months after the date of Separation from Service (or Retirement, if applicable) (the "6 month delay"). If the distribution of any amount is delayed as a result of the previous sentence, then each payment to which the Participant is otherwise entitled upon a Separation from Service shall be delayed by 6 months. Any remaining payments due under the Plan shall be paid as otherwise provided in the Plan.

(a) A Participant is treated as a Specified Employee if (i) he is employed by a Related Employer any of whose stock is publicly traded on an established securities market or otherwise, and (ii) he satisfies the requirements of Code Section 416(i)(1)(A)(i), (ii) or (iii), determined without regard to Code Section 416(i)(5), at any time during the 12-month period ending on the Identification Date, as determined in accordance with Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) and the final regulations thereunder. (b) A Participant who meets the requirements of paragraph (a) on an Identification Date shall be treated as a Specified Employee for the 12-month period beginning on the first day of the 4th month following the Identification Date. The Identification Date and the effective date of the delay in distributions shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.06 of the Adoption Agreement. (c) The 6 month delay does not apply to payments under the circumstances described in Reg. Sec. 1.409A-3(j)(4)(ii), (j)(4)(iii), or (j)(4)(vi), or to payments that occur after the death of the Participant.
