The Plan is designed primarily for the purpose of providing benefits for a select group of management and highly compensated employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries and is intended to qualify as a &#8220;top hat&#8221; plan under Sections 201(2), 301(a)(3) and 401 (a)(1) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (&#8220;ERISA&#8221;).  The Plan was originally established effective January 1, 2005.  The Plan was amended and restated on December 29, 2008 to comply with Section 409A, and subsequently amended effective January 1, 2012 to (i) provide for the default carryover of timely made deferral elections, (ii) increase the compensation deferral opportunity from 50% to 80% (and from 80% to 100% for bonus compensation), and (iii) require that a Participant be an active employee on the date supplemental match contributions and/or supplemental profit sharing contributions are credited for a plan year to be eligible to receive such credits.  The Plan is amended and restated effective January 1, 2017 as set forth herein.  This amendment and restatement incorporates prior amendments, provides that supplemental profit sharing contributions and supplemental match will no longer be deemed invested in company stock when made to the Plan, and permits supplemental company nonelective contributions as set forth herein.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;padding-left:14px;font-size:11pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11pt;"><br></font></div><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:10pt;"><tr><td style="width:96px;"></td><td></td></tr><tr><td style="vertical-align:top"><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:11pt;padding-left:48px;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11pt;font-weight:bold;">1.2</font></div></td><td style="vertical-align:top;"><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:11pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11pt;font-weight:bold;">Definitions</font></div></td></tr></table><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;padding-left:96px;text-indent:-48px;font-size:11pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:11pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11pt;">&#8220;</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11pt;font-weight:bold;">Bonus Compensation</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11pt;">&#8221; means the regular annual bonus paid by the Company or Subsidiary, as applicable, and shall exclude all other bonus compensation paid to a Participant, including special and non-recurring bonuses unless timely determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion, prior to the applicable Plan Year (in each instance, as identified and reported on the books and records of Company).
