  Qualified Plan Contributions under Section 4.01(c)(i)(B) or (C) of the Qualified Plan after the first day of a Plan Year shall not receive the Supplemental Profit Sharing Contribution portion of the Qualified Plan Contribution otherwise allocable to him or her under the Qualified Plan; but shall instead receive his or her entire Supplemental Profit Sharing Contribution for such year under this Plan.

Article V

Distributions

 

5.01

Timing of Payment. Except as set forth in Section 5.03, payment of a Member’s Profit Sharing Account shall be made in a lump sum as soon as reasonably practicable after the Member’s separation from service from the Company (as determined pursuant to Section 409A of the Code), and in all events no later than the later of (i) December 31st of the year of the Member’s separation from service or (ii) 90 days following the Member’s separation from service; provided, however, that if a payment is to be made within 90 days of the Member’s separation from service and such 90-day period spans more than one taxable year, such payment should be made in the later of the two taxable years. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Member is a “specified employee” (as defined in Code Section 409A), such distribution shall be made six months after his or her separation from service. For purposes of the preceding sentence, whether a Member is a “specified employee” is determined on December 31 of each calendar year, but not to take effect until April 1 of the following calendar year, and such status continues until the following March 31.

 

5.02 Form of Payment. Any payment under this Article shall be in the form of cash or a cash equivalent.

5.03 Death or Disability.

 

  (a)

In the event of the Member’s death, the balance of such Member’s Profit Sharing Account shall be paid to the Member’s designated beneficiary or, if no beneficiary has been designated, to the Member’s estate in a lump sum as soon as practicable following the Member’s death, and in all events no later than the later of (i) December 31st of the year of the Member’s death or (ii) 90 days following the Member’s death; provided, however, that if a payment is to be made within 90 days of the Member’s death and such 90-day period spans more than one taxable year, such payment should be made in the later of the two taxable years.

 

  (b)

In the event of the Member’s Disability, the balance of such Member’s Profit Sharing Account shall be paid to the Member (or the Member’s legal representative) in a lump sum as soon as practicable following the Member’s Disability, and in all events no later than the later of (i) December 31st of the year of the Member’s Disability or (ii) 90 days following the Member’s Disability; provided, however, that if a payment is to be made within 90 days of the Member’s Disability and such 90-day period spans more than one taxable year, such payment should be made in the later of the two taxable years. Notwithstanding the above, if the Member is a specified employee and becomes Disabled after his or her separation from service, the 6 month delay in Section 5.01 above continues to apply.

 

5.04 Hardship Distribution. In the event of an Unforeseeable Emergency, a Member shall be entitled to an early payment from the Member’s Profit Sharing Account in an amount reasonably necessary to satisfy the Emergency (which may include amounts necessary to pay any Federal, state or local income taxes or penalties reasonably anticipated to result from the payment). Whether a Member has an Unforeseeable Emergency shall be determined, upon his application to the Committee, based on the relevant facts and circumstances, but payment may not be made to the extent that such Emergency is or may be relieved through reimbursement or compensation from insurance or otherwise, or by liquidation of the Member’s assets (to the extent that liquidation would not cause severe financial hardship).

Article VI

Statement of Accounts

Statements shall be sent annually to each Member (or such Member’s estate, beneficiary or legal representative) or as otherwise provided by the Committee.

Article VII

Beneficiary Designation

Each Member shall have the right, at any time, to designate any person, persons or entity as such Member’s designated beneficiary. A beneficiary designation shall be made, and may be amended, by the Member by filing a written designation in accordance with the procedures adopted by the Committee.

Article VIII

Amendment or Termination

The Board, or its delegate, including any Board committee, reserves the right to amend, modify or terminate the Plan at any time to any extent that it may deem advisable including, but without limiting the generality of the foregoing; any amendment necessary to comply with applicable law; provided however no amendment, modification or termination shall, without the consent of the Member, adversely affect such Member’s right to payment from the Member’s vested balance under the Profit Sharing Account as of the date of such amendment, modification or termination. Furthermore, this Plan may be amended by the Committee, provided the amendment (a) does not materially increase the cost of the Plan to the Employer, and (b) does not materially impact Members. The Company reserves the right to terminate the Plan for any period of time and from time to time. In addition, termination of the Plan shall not be a permitted distribution event, except to the extent permitted under Section 409A of the Code without imposition of the additional tax set forth in Section 409A(a)(1)(B) of the Code.

Article IX

Miscellaneous

 

9.01 Unsecured Right. Any right to receive a payment under the Plan shall be no greater than that of an unsecured general creditor of the Company. No amount payable under the Plan may be assigned, transferred, encumbered or subject to any legal process for the payment of any claim against a Member.
