|
2.11

"Separation from Service" means the date that the

employment with respect to all entities comprising the Related

|
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.

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

occurred will be made in accordance with Code

thereunder.

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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
4.2
|
|
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.

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

the hypothetical earnings, expenses, gains and losses described
above; (b) amounts credited pursuant to Section 6.2; and

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.

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

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.

distribute such amount to the Participant at the time specified in
