ARTICLE 2
RESTORATION PENSION BENEFITS
RESTORATION PENSION BENEFITS
2.1 Benefit Determination
Subject to Section 3.3, upon a Participant's Separation from Service, such Participant shall be entitled to receive a Restoration Pension Benefit in the event the Pension Benefit of such Participant is limited by the application of Section 401(a)(17) or Section 415 of the Code. The Restoration Pension Benefit shall be equal to the difference between: (1) the Pension Benefit paid to the Participant; and (2) the benefit that would have otherwise been paid to the Participant under the Pension Plan, without regard to the limitations of Section 401(a)(17) and Section 415 of the Code, reduced by the amount of any qualified and nonqualified retirement benefits from a prior employer of the Participant if said prior employer or employer facility was previously acquired by or merged into the Company or any Affiliate and benefit service with such prior employer is recognized by the Company under any qualified or nonqualified retirement plan, pursuant to the terms of an acquisition agreement or as otherwise provided under a separate agreement with the Company or an Affiliate. Such benefit shall be calculated as of the first day of the calendar month next following the month of the Participant's Separation from Service. Any amount payable hereunder will be subject to the same actuarial assumptions and discounts for early retirement as are specified in the Pension Plan. The Restoration Pension Benefit described above shall be payable to the Participant upon his Separation from Service, as provided in Article 3 hereof.
2.2 Additional Time Recognition
If an event occurs for a Participant who has an employment agreement or a management stability agreement with the Company that causes the recognition of additional service credit under the terms of such agreement, the additional service will be recognized only for purposes of calculating the Restoration Pension Benefit.
ARTICLE 3
DISTRIBUTIONS
DISTRIBUTIONS
3.1 Distribution of Benefits.
Except as otherwise provided in this Article 3, a Participant's Restoration Pension Benefit shall be paid in accordance with this Section 3.1.
5
(a) General Payment Rules. Benefits will be paid on the first day of each month. The last payment will be on the first day of the month in which the Participant dies except as otherwise provided under another form of payment elected under Section 3.2.
(b) Commencement of Benefits.
(i) Death of Participant. In the event of the Participant's death, the Participant's Restoration Pension Benefit shall be paid or commence within ninety (90) days of the Participant's death.
(ii) Separation from Service. In the event of the Participant's Separation from Service for any reason other than due to the Participant's death, the Participant's Restoration Pension Benefit shall be paid or commence on the first day of the seventh (7th) calendar month beginning after such Separation from Service. The first payment shall include all amounts that would otherwise have been paid had distribution commenced on the first day of the calendar month next following the calendar month of the Participant's Separation from Service, together with interest, which shall be calculated by using the interest rate used for purposes of determining the present value of a lump sum payment under Section 3.2 and in effect on the date of the Participant's Separation from Service.
3.2 Distribution Option/Manner of Payment.
In the absence of an affirmative election to the contrary, each Participant's Restoration Pension Benefit shall be made in a form of a straight life annuity; provided, however, if the present lump sum value of the Participant's Restoration Pension Benefit (determined in accordance with the applicable actuarial assumptions set forth in the Pension Plan, as in effect prior to its amendment and restatement effective January 1, 2008) is less than $100,000, the Restoration Pension Benefit will be paid in a single-lump sum. All payments under the Plan shall be made in cash. Subject to the foregoing, each Participant may elect the Distribution Option for his Restoration Pension Benefit, in accordance with such election procedures as are established by the Committee, which Distribution Options shall include any actuarially equivalent annuity form of payment permitted under the Pension Plan, but shall not include a lump sum payment. Actuarial equivalence shall be determined in accordance with the applicable actuarial assumptions set forth in the Pension Plan. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, in the event of a Participant's death, the form of payment of the Restoration Pension Benefit shall be determined in accordance with Section 3.5.
3.3 Vesting.
Subject to the full vesting of a Participant's Restoration Pension Benefit following a Change in Control, as set forth in Section 3.4, Restoration Pension Benefits will only be paid to a Participant who has been credited with three (3) years of vesting service (the calculation of such vesting service to be determined in accordance with the provisions of the Pension Plan and to include service credited under Section 3.6 as applicable). A Participant who is not credited with the requisite vesting service will not be entitled to a Restoration Pension Benefit.
6
3.4 Change in Control.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Article 3, upon a Change in Control, a Participant will become fully vested in his Restoration Pension Benefit accrued as of the date of the Change in Control. The payment of Restoration Pension Benefits will not be accelerated following a Change in Control and will only be paid in accordance with Section 3.1 to the Participant following Separation from Service. All Restoration Pension Benefits payable to a Participant following a Change in Control will be paid in the form determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.2.
3.5 Death.
In the event that a Participant dies following completion of three (3) years of vesting service and prior to the commencement of his Restoration Pension Benefit, his Beneficiary will, subject to the mandatory lump sum distribution provisions of Section 3.2, receive the Restoration Pension Benefit, payable in a single life annuity for the life of the Beneficiary; provided, however, in lieu of payment of such benefit in the form of a single life annuity, the benefit may be paid in the form of an actuarially equivalent form of benefit permitted under the Pension Plan, if elected by the Beneficiary, provided, however, that a lump sum benefit may not be elected. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Beneficiary is not the spouse of the deceased Participant (as determined in accordance with the Pension Plan), the benefit will be paid in a lump-sum payment calculated as if the Beneficiary were the same age as the Participant. Death prior to completion of the requisite three (3) years of vesting service will result in no Restoration Pension Benefit being payable to the Beneficiary.
3.6 Disability.
In the event of a Participant's Disability, for purposes of determining the Participant's Restoration Pension Benefit and calculating vesting service, the Participant shall be deemed to have remained in active employment with the Company or a Subsidiary at the same rate of Compensation until the earlier of the Participant's attainment of his Normal Retirement Date (as defined under the Pension Plan) or the date the Participant no longer suffers from a Disability. The Participant's Restoration Pension Benefit shall be paid as set forth in Sections 3.1 and 3.2.
3.7 Change in Time of Payments.
Notwithstanding any provision of this Article III to the contrary, the benefits payable hereunder may, to the extent expressly provided in this Section 3.7, be paid prior to or later than the date on which they would otherwise be paid to the Participant.
(a) Distribution in the Event of Income Inclusion Under Code Section 409A. If any portion of a Participant's Restoration Pension Benefit is required to be included in income by the Participant prior to receipt due to a failure of this Plan or any Aggregated Plan to comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A and the Regulations, the Committee may determine that such Participant shall receive a distribution from the Plan in an amount equal to the lesser of: (i) the portion of his or her Restoration Pension Benefit required to
7
be included in income as a result of the failure of the Plan or any Aggregated Plan to comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A and the Regulations, or (ii) the remainder of the Participant's Restoration Pension Benefit.
(b) Distribution Necessary to Satisfy Applicable Tax Withholding. If the Company is required to withhold amounts to pay the Participant's portion of the Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) tax imposed under Code Sections 3101, 3121(a) or 3121(v)(2) with respect to amounts that are or will be paid to the Participant under the Plan before they otherwise would be paid, the Committee may determine that such Participant shall receive a distribution from the Plan in an amount equal to the lesser of: (i) the amount of the Participant's Restoration Pension Benefit or (ii) the aggregate of the FICA taxes imposed and the income tax withholding related to such amount.
(c) Delay for Payments in Violation of Federal Securities Laws or Other Applicable Law. In the event the Company reasonably anticipates that the payment of benefits as specified hereunder would violate Federal securities laws or other applicable law, the Committee may delay the payment under this Article III until the earliest date at which the Company reasonably anticipates that the making of such payment would not cause such violation.
(d) Delay for Insolvency or Compelling Business Reasons. In the event the Company determines that the making of any payment of benefits on the date specified hereunder would jeopardize the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern, the Committee may delay the payment of benefits under this Article III until the first calendar year in which the Company notifies the Committee that the payment of benefits would not have such effect.
(e) Administrative Delay in Payment. The payment of benefits hereunder shall begin at the date specified in accordance with the provisions of the foregoing paragraphs of this Article III; provided that, in the case of administrative necessity, the payment of such benefits may be delayed up to the later of the last day of the calendar year in which payment would otherwise be made or the 15th day of the third calendar month following the date on which payment would otherwise be made. Further, if, as a result of events beyond the control of the Participant (or following the Participant's death, the Participant's Beneficiary or Beneficiaries), it is not administratively practicable for the Committee to calculate the amount of benefits due to Participant as of the date on which payment would otherwise be made, the payment may be delayed until the first calendar year in which calculation of the amount is administratively practicable.
(f) Impermissible Designation. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, if the period during which payment of benefits hereunder will be made occurs, or will occur, in two calendar years, the Participant shall not be permitted to designate the calendar year in which the payment shall be made.

FUNDING BY COMPANY
4.1 Unsecured Obligation of Company.
(a) Any benefit payable pursuant to this Plan shall be paid from the general assets of the Company. Nothing contained in this Plan and no action taken pursuant to the provisions of this Plan shall create a trust of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between any Participant (or any other interested person) and the Company or the Committee, or require the Company to maintain or set aside any specific funds for the purpose of paying any benefit hereunder. To the extent that a Participant or any other person acquires a right to receive payments from the Company under this Plan, such right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Company.
(b) If the Company maintains a separate fund or makes specific investments, including the purchase of insurance insuring the life of a Participant, to assure its ability to pay any benefits due under this Plan, neither the Participant nor the Participant's Beneficiary or Beneficiaries shall have any legal or equitable ownership interest in, or lien on, such fund, policy, investment or any other asset of the Company. The Company, in its sole discretion, may determine the exact nature and method of informal funding (if any) of the obligations under this Plan. If the Company elects to maintain a separate fund or makes specific investments to fund its obligations under this Plan, the Company reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to terminate such method of funding at any time, in whole or in part.
4.2 Cooperation of Participant.
If the Company, in its sole discretion, elects to invest in a life insurance, disability or annuity policy on the life of Participant to assist it with the informal funding of its obligations under this Plan, Participant shall assist the Company, from time to time, promptly upon the request of the Company, in obtaining such insurance policy by supplying any information necessary to obtain such policy as well as submitting to any physical examinations required therefore. The Company shall be responsible for the payment of all premiums with respect to any whole life, variable, or universal life insurance policy purchased in connection with this Plan unless otherwise expressly agreed.

The Committee shall, no later than 90 days after the receipt of a claim (plus an additional period of 90 days if required for processing, provided that notice of the extension of time is given to the claimant within the first 90-day period), either allow or deny the claim in writing.

A claimant whose claim is denied (or his duly authorized representative) may within 60 days after receipt of denial of a claim file with the Committee a written request for a review of such claim. If the claimant does not file a request for review of his claim within such 60-day period, the claimant shall be deemed to have acquiesced in the original decision of the Committee on his claim, the decision shall become final and the claimant will not be entitled to bring a civil action under Section 502(a) of ERISA. If such an appeal is so filed within such 60-day period) the Company (or its delegate) shall conduct a full and fair review of such claim. During such review, the claimant (or the claimant's authorized representative) shall be given the opportunity to review all documents that are pertinent to his claim and to submit issues and comments in writing.
The Company shall mail or deliver to the claimant a written decision on the matter based on the facts and the pertinent provisions of the Plan within 60 days after the receipt of the request for review (unless special circumstances require an extension of up to 60 additional days, in which case written notice of such extension shall be given to the claimant prior to the commencement of such extension). Such decision shall be written in a manner calculated to be understood by the
10
claimant, shall state the specific reasons for the decision and the specific Plan provisions on which the decision was based and shall, to the extent permitted by law, be final and binding on all interested persons. If the decision on review is not furnished to the claimant within the above-mentioned time period, the claim shall be deemed to have been denied on review.
