ELECTION OF DEFERRALS,

INVESTMENT OF DEFERRAL, PAYMENT OF BENEFITS

Section 4.1 Election of Deferral.

(a) General Rule. Each year, every Participant may irrevocably elect to defer the receipt of up to twenty-five percent (25%) of his or her Earnings payable for any Deferral Year, in respect of services to be performed by the Participant for the Employer for such Deferral Year, by filing a Salary Deferral Election with the Plan Administrator prior to the end of the Plan Year immediately preceding the Deferral for the applicable Deferral Year. Such Salary Deferral Election shall apply to both base salary and incentive compensation. For avoidance of doubt, a Participant shall not have the ability to designate a different percentage to be deferred with respect to either element of Earnings for any given Deferral Year. A Salary Deferral Election shall be in the manner prescribed by the Plan Administrator.

(b) Initial Deferral Election. Notwithstanding Section 4.1(a) of the Plan, in the case of the first Plan Year during which a Key Employee becomes eligible to

6

participate in the Plan, the Key Employee may file a Salary Deferral Election with the Plan Administrator within 30 days after the date on which he or she becomes so eligible, with respect to Earnings paid for services to be performed during such Plan Year (the initial Deferral Year) after the effective date of the Salary Deferral Election contained therein.

(c) Vesting of Earnings. The portion of a Participant’s Account attributable to any Salary Deferral Election shall be fully vested as of the date on which the applicable Earnings are credited to such Account.

(d) Termination of Salary Deferral Election for a Given Deferral Year. A Participant’s obligation to defer Earnings under a given Salary Deferral Election will terminate as of December 31 of each year.

Section 4.2 Employer Matching.

(a) Allocation Rules. The Company shall contribute and allocate to each Participant’s Account, as of the last day of each Deferral Year, the number of full shares of Stock obtained by dividing an amount equal to twenty-five percent (25%) of the first fifteen percent (15%) of Earnings deferred by the Participant for such Deferral Year (the “Deferral Year”) pursuant to the election described in Section 4.1, by the Market Price of the Stock on the last day of the Deferral Year. For this purpose Market Price shall mean the closing price of the Stock on the last day of the Deferral Year or if there was no trading of the Stock on such date, the closing price on the nearest prior business day on which trading occurred on a recognized securities exchange. Notwithstanding the foregoing, stock certificates in respect of allocations under this Section 4.2(a) shall be credited to the Account no later than January 31st of the Plan Year immediately following the Deferral Year. To be eligible to receive an allocation of Stock pursuant to this Section 4.2(a), a Participant must be employed by the Employer on the last day of the Deferral Year.

(b) Each Key Employee who becomes eligible and elects to participate in the Plan shall have a fully vested nonforfeitable interest in the Stock allocated to his or her Account, if still employed by the Employer, on the last day of the Plan Year which commences on or after the third anniversary of the first day of the first Plan Year in which a Key Employee elects to make contributions to the Plan. In the event a Participant’s experiences a Separation from Service for any reason other than death, Disability or Retirement prior to the Participant’s Vesting Date, all Stock previously allocated to such Participant’s Account shall be forfeited and held by the Trustee to be allocated in subsequent years pursuant to Section 4.2(a) hereof.

Section 4.3 Investment of Deferrals and Matching Contributions.

(a) Except as otherwise provided under Section 4.2(a) with respect to Stock certificates, the Company shall contribute to the Trust all amounts deferred and contributed hereunder within ten (10) business days of the date such amounts would otherwise have been paid to a Participant pursuant to the Company’s standard payroll practices. All amounts contributed to the Trust and the earnings thereon shall be held by the trustee of the Trust and invested in accordance with the terms of the Trust Agreement. Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject to such limitations as may from time to time be required by law or imposed by the Committee, and subject further to such operating rules and

7

procedures as may be imposed from time to time by the Committee, each Participant may express to the Committee a preference as to how the portion of the Participant’s Account attributable to Earnings (the “Earnings Sub-Account”) should be constructively invested among the Valuation Funds. Such preference shall designate the percentage of the Participant’s Earnings Sub-Account which is requested to be constructively invested in each Valuation Fund.

(b) A Participant’s expression of investment preference shall be made telephonically, via the recordkeeper’s telephone voice response system, or electronically, via the recordkeeper’s Internet web access system, each as established by the recordkeeper, at the Employer’s direction, for the purpose of recording the Participant’s investment elections among the Valuation Funds. Such investment elections shall serve merely as earnings indices for the Participant’s Account, and neither the Employer nor the Committee nor the Trustee shall be obligated to follow such elections. The Employer shall not be obligated to invest any funds in connection with this Plan, including, but not limited, with respect to distributions under Section 4.4, 4.5 and 4.6 hereof.

(c) Whether or not a Participant’s investment preferences are followed with respect to actual investments, the Participant’s Earnings Sub-Account will be credited with earnings or losses as follows. As of each Valuation Date, the net earnings or losses (as defined below) of each Valuation Fund since the preceding Valuation Date shall be allocated among all Earnings Sub-Accounts in accordance with the preferences indicated by each Participant as though the Earnings Sub-Accounts had been invested in the Valuation Fund in accordance with each Participant’s indicated preference. For purposes of this allocation, the Earnings Sub-Account of each Participant will consist of the balance of the Earnings Sub-Account as of the preceding Valuation Date, adjusted: (i) by adding thereto the Participant deferrals made since the preceding Valuation Date and (ii) by subtracting therefrom all distributions made to the Participant or to a Beneficiary or Beneficiaries.

(d) For purposes of this Section 4.3, the Earnings Sub-Account shall include the cash value of dividends (“Dividend Equivalents”) declared by the Company on the Stock allocated to a Participant’s Account. Such Dividend Equivalents, to the extent declared, shall be allocated to the purchase additional shares of Stock, in a manner determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, as of the end of each calendar quarter within a Plan Year.

Section 4.4 Payment of Benefits.

(a) Initial Deferral Elections.

(i) Subject to the vesting requirements contained herein, the Plan Administrator shall direct the Trustee of the Trust to pay the Participant, in a single lump sum within ninety (90) days following the Employment Termination Date, the portion of the Participant’s Account that consists of Participant deferrals allocated to the Earnings Sub-Account prior to the end of the 2009 Deferral Year (together with any earnings, losses, or Dividend Equivalents thereon pursuant to Section 4.3) and shares of Stock contributed by the Company prior to the end of the 2009 Deferral Year, valued as of the applicable Valuation Date.

(ii) For each Deferral Year after 2009 and prior to 2013, a Participant shall designate the time and form of distribution of Participant deferrals allocated to

8

the Earnings Sub-Account during each such Deferral Year (together with any earnings, losses, or Dividend Equivalents thereon pursuant to Section 4.3) and shares of Stock contributed by the Company during each such Deferral Year, pursuant to an irrevocable written distribution election filed by the Participant (in the manner prescribed by the Plan Administrator) prior to the commencement of each such Deferral Year, and, subject to the vesting requirements contained herein, the Plan Administrator shall direct the Trustee to reimburse the Company so that it may pay the Participant such amounts pursuant to such distribution election(s), valued as of the applicable Valuation Date. Each such distribution election shall apply to the subsequent Deferral Year unless and until the Participant files a new distribution election for the forthcoming Deferral Year; provided, however, that if the Participant never files a distribution election, all such amounts shall be paid in a single lump sum within ninety (90) days following the Participant’s Employment Termination Date. Such distribution election(s) shall allow the Participant to choose to have such amounts distributed either (1upon a Scheduled Distribution while employed with the Company (2) within ninety (90) days following the Retirement. In the event the Participant terminates employment prior to reaching Retirement, the Participant shall receive a lump sum payment for amounts deferred after January 1, 2013

(iii) For each Deferral Year after 2012, a Participant shall designate the time and form of distribution of Participant deferrals allocated to the Earnings Sub-Account during each such Deferral Year (together with any earnings, losses, or Dividend Equivalents thereon pursuant to Section 4.3) and shares of Stock contributed by the Company during each such Deferral Year, pursuant to an irrevocable distribution election filed by the Participant (in the manner prescribed by the Plan Administrator) prior to the commencement of each such Deferral Year, and, subject to the vesting requirements contained herein, the Plan Administrator shall direct the Trustee of the Trust to pay to the Company the amount necessary to pay the Participant such amounts pursuant to such distribution election(s), valued as of the applicable Valuation Date. Each such distribution election shall apply to the subsequent Deferral Year unless and until the Participant files a new distribution election for the forthcoming Deferral Year; provided, however, that if the Participant never files a distribution election, all such amounts shall be paid in a single lump sum within ninety (90) days following the Participant’s Employment Termination Date. Such distribution election(s) shall allow the Participant to choose to have such amounts distributed either:

| 1) | after a five (5) year deferral period, a Scheduled Distribution of such that the amounts will be distributed in the February that follows the fifth anniversary of the first day of the Deferral Year in a single lump sum or five (5) substantially equivalent annual installments (as elected);

| 2) | within ninety (90) days following the Participant’s Retirement in a lump sum or up to five (5) substantially equivalent annual installments (as elected),

| 3) | within ninety (90) days following the date of the Participant’s Employment Termination Date in a single lump sum;

provided, however, that if the Participant undergoes a Separation from Service (other than on account of Retirement), all remaining payments due to the Participant shall be paid in a single lump sum within ninety (90) days following the Participant’s Employment Termination Date.

9

(iv) With respect to the Earnings Sub-Account, on the payment date (or each payment date in the case of annual installments) set forth in this Section 4.4(a), Trust investments, which may or may not include any Valuation Funds, shall be liquidated on a pro-rata basis (regardless of whether or not a Participant’s investment preferences were followed with respect to actual investments), in an amount equal to such portion of the Account that is to be paid on such date(s). The Earnings Sub-Account shall be distributed in cash. Shares of Stock allocated to a Participant’s Account shall be distributed in-kind.

(v) For purposes of this Section 4.4(a), each installment payment shall be treated as a series of separate payments and shall be determined by dividing the Account balance as of the Valuation Date by the remaining number of installment payments.

(b) Subsequent Deferral Election. For amounts with respect to each Deferral Year after 2012, a Participant may delay the timing of a previously-scheduled payment or may change the form of a payment only if such subsequent deferral election meets all of the following requirements:

(i) the subsequent deferral election shall not take effect until at least 12 months after the date on which it is made;

(ii) the election must be made at least 12 months prior to the date the payment is scheduled to be made. For installment payments, the election must be made at least 12 months prior to the date the first payment in such installment was scheduled to be made; and

(iii) the subsequent deferral election must delay the payment for at least five years from the date the payment would otherwise have been made. For installment payments, the delay is measured from the date the first payment was scheduled to be made.

(c) Specified Employees. Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, if the Participant is considered a Specified Employee at Separation from Service under such procedures as established by the Company in accordance with Code Section 409A, benefit distributions under Section 4.4(a) that are made upon Separation from Service may not, to the extent required by Code Section 409A, commence prior to the earlier of the date of the Participant’s death or the expiration of the six-month period measured from the date of the Participant’s Separation from Service; provided that to the extent permitted by Code Section 409A, only payments scheduled to be paid during the first six (6) months after the date of such Separation from Service shall be delayed and such delayed payments shall be paid in a single sum on the first day of the seventh month following the date of such Separation from Service.

Section 4.5 Early Distribution of Benefits.

A Participant may request a distribution due to Unforeseeable Emergency by submitting a written request to the Plan Administrator accompanied by evidence to demonstrate that the circumstances being experienced qualify as an Unforeseeable Emergency. The Plan Administrator shall have the authority to require such evidence as it deems necessary to

10

determine if a distribution is warranted. If an application for a hardship distribution due to an Unforeseeable Emergency is approved, the distribution shall be limited to amounts contributed by the Participant to the Plan pursuant to Section 4.1 (and the earnings thereon) and shall be further limited to an amount sufficient to meet the emergency, plus amounts necessary to pay taxes reasonably anticipated as a result of the distribution. The allowed distribution shall be payable in a single lump sum in cash as soon as possible after approval of such distribution, but in any event within ninety (90) days after the occurrence of the Unforeseeable Emergency, with the exact date of such payment to be determined by the Plan Administrator in its sole discretion. For purposes of making any such payment, the Account shall be valued as of the applicable Valuation Date, and the Participant shall direct the Trustee to liquidate Trust investments (regardless of whether or not a Participant’s investment preferences were followed with respect to actual investments), which may or may not include any Valuation Funds, in an amount equal to such portion. In the event the Participant fails to direct the Trustee as provided in the preceding sentence, on the payment date, Trust investments, which may or may not include any Valuation Funds, shall be liquidated on a pro-rata basis (regardless of whether or not a Participant’s investment preferences were followed with respect to actual investments), in an amount equal to such portion. The Earnings Sub-Account shall be distributed in cash. Shares of Stock allocated to a Participant’s Account shall be distributed in-kind. As used herein, “Unforeseeable Emergency” shall mean (i) a severe financial hardship to the Participant resulting from an illness or accident of the Participant, the Participant’s spouse, a Beneficiary, or the Participant’s dependent (as defined in Section 152 of the Code, without regard to Section 152(b)(1), (b)(2) and (d)(1)(B)), (ii) loss of the Participant’s property due to casualty (including the need to rebuild a home following damage to a home not otherwise covered by insurance, for example, not as a result of a natural disaster), or (iii) other similar extraordinary and unforeseeable circumstances arising as a result of events beyond the control of the Participant, which may include, if applicable, (x) the imminent foreclosure of or eviction from the Participant’s primary residence, (y) the need to pay for medical expenses, including non-refundable deductibles, as well as the costs of prescription drug medication, and (z) the need to pay for the funeral expenses of the Participant’s spouse, a Beneficiary or the Participant’s dependent (as defined in Section 152 of the Code, without regard to Section 152(b)(1), (b)(2) and (d)(1)(B)). Except as otherwise provided in clause (iii) of the immediately preceding sentence, the purchase of a home and the payment of college tuition are not Unforeseeable Emergencies. In the event of any such withdrawal and distribution during any Plan Year as a result of an Unforeseeable Emergency, the Participant’s Salary Deferral Election for such Plan Year shall be deemed automatically revoked for such Plan Year. This section shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with Section 409A of the Code. The circumstances that will constitute an “Unforeseeable Emergency” will depend upon the facts of each case, but, in any event, payment may not be made if such hardship 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 that liquidation of such assets would not itself cause severe financial hardship, or

(c) By cessation of deferrals under the Plan.

11

Where a payment is made to a Specified Employee on account of the occurrence of an Unforeseeable Emergency, the payment need not be delayed because the Specified Employee has a Separation from Service after incurring the Unforeseeable Emergency.

Section 4.6 No Acceleration of Retirement Benefit or Termination Benefit. Neither a Participant nor the Employer may accelerate the time or schedule of any payment scheduled to be made under the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the time or schedule of any payment may be accelerated in any of the following circumstances:

(a) Domestic Relations Orders. The Plan Administrator may accelerate the time or schedule of a payment under the Plan to an individual other than the Participant, or a payment under the Plan may be made to an individual other than the Participant, to the extent necessary to fulfill a domestic relations order (as defined in Section 414(p)(1)(B) of the Code). Any such payment reflecting an assigned percentage of the Participant’s Account as of a date certain shall be construed as requiring such assignment to be calculated with reference to such date, or, if administratively preferable to the Committee in its sole and absolute discretion, the last day of the month in which such date certain occurs (the “Assignment Date”). For purposes of making any distribution under this Section 4.6(a), if the domestic relations order provides that earnings and losses shall be taken into account from the Assignment Date through the date of distribution or any earlier date, the Account, for distribution purposes, shall be valued as of the applicable Valuation Date; and if the domestic relations order does not provide that earnings and losses shall be taken into account, or affirmatively provides that earnings and losses shall not be taken into account, the value of the Account as of the Assignment Date shall be the value of the Account for distribution purposes;

(b) Payment of Employment Taxes. The Plan Administrator may accelerate the time or schedule of a payment under the Plan, or a payment may be made under the Plan, to (x) pay the Federal Insurance Contributions Act (“FICA”) tax imposed under Section 3101, 3121(a) or 3121(v)(2) of the Code or (y) pay the income tax at the source on wages imposed under Section 3401 of the Code or the corresponding withholding provisions of applicable state, local or foreign tax laws. However, the total payment under this clause (ii) may not exceed the aggregate of the FICA amount and the income tax withholding related to the FICA amount Payment shall be based on the value of the Account as of the applicable Valuation Date; or

(c) Payment Upon Income Inclusion Under Section 409A. The Plan Administrator may accelerate the time or schedule of a payment under the Plan, or a payment may be made under the Plan, at any time that the Plan fails to meet the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and the Final Regulations. Such payment may not exceed the amount required to be included in income as a result of the failure to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder. Payment shall be based on the value of the Account as of the applicable Valuation Date.

For purposes of making any payment under this Section 4.6, the following rules shall apply: the Participant shall direct the Trustee to liquidate Trust investments (regardless of whether or not a Participant’s investment preferences were followed with respect to actual investments), which may or may not include any Valuation Funds, in an amount equal to such portion of the Account. In the event the Participant fails to direct the Trustee as provided in the preceding sentence, on the payment date, Trust investments, which may or may not include any Valuation Funds, shall

12

be liquidated on a pro-rata basis (regardless of whether or not a Participant’s investment preferences were followed with respect to actual investments), in an amount equal to such portion. The Earnings Sub-Account shall be distributed in cash. Shares of Stock allocated to a Participant’s Account shall be distributed in-kind.

BENEFICIARY DESIGNATIONS

Each Participant shall have the right to designate one or more primary Beneficiaries and one or more contingent Beneficiaries to receive the amount represented by his or her Account in the event of his or her death. Beneficiary designation(s) shall be made in the manner as may be prescribed by the Plan Administrator. The Participant shall have the right to revoke or change Beneficiary designations from time to time, and each such change shall constitute a revocation of all prior designations.

Any such Beneficiary designation shall be subordinate to any court order applicable to the Participant’s interest in the Plan.

Section 5.2 Default Provision.

ARTICLE 7.

CLAIMS AND REVIEW

Section 7.1 Claims Procedure.

If the Participant or the Participant’s Beneficiary (hereinafter the “Claimant”) is denied all or a portion of an expected benefit under the Plan for any reason, he or she may file a claim with the Committee. The Committee shall notify the Claimant within thirty (30) days of allowance or denial of the claim. The notice of the Committee’s decision shall be in writing, sent by mail to Claimant’s last known address, and, if a denial of the claim, shall contain the following information: the specific reasons for the denial; specific reference to pertinent provisions of the Plan on which the denial is based; if applicable, a description of any additional information or material necessary to perfect the claim and an explanation of why such information or material is necessary; and an explanation of the review process.

Section 7.2 Request for Review.

A Claimant is entitled to request a review by the Board of any denial of his or her claim by the Committee. The request for review must be submitted to the Board in writing within sixty (60) days of receipt of the notice of the denial. Absent a request for review within the sixty (60) day period, the claim will be deemed to be conclusively denied.

Section 7.3 Review Procedure.

The Claimant or his or her representative shall be entitled to review all pertinent documents and to submit issues and comments in writing to the Board. The Board in their sole discretion may afford the Claimant a hearing. The Board shall render a review decision in writing within sixty (60) days after receipt of a request for a review. The Claimant shall receive written notice of the Board’s review decision, which shall contain specific reasons for the decision with references to the pertinent provisions of the Plan.

Section 7.4 Disability Claims Review Procedure.

(a) Initial Claim.

A Claimant may make a claim for benefit under the Plan or request a specific interpretation or ruling under the Plan regarding such Claimant’s status as a Participant with a Disability by submitting a written claim for benefits to the Committee.

If such claim is denied, in whole or in part, the Committee shall provide the Claimant with written notification of such adverse benefit determination within 45 days after the receipt of the claim. This time period may be extended twice by 30 days (for a total of 60 days) if the Committee both determines that such an extension is necessary due to matters beyond the control of the Plan and notifies the Claimant of the circumstances requiring the extension of time and the date by which the Committee expects to render a decision. Any such notification shall be made prior to the expiration of the initial 45-day or 30-day period, as applicable.

16

If such an extension is necessary due to the Claimant’s failure to submit the information necessary to decide the claim, the notice of extension shall specifically describe the required information, and the Claimant shall be afforded at least 45 days within which to provide the specified information. If the Claimant delivers the requested information within the time specified, any 30-day extension period shall begin after the claimant has provided that information. If the Claimant fails to deliver the requested information within the time specified, the Committee may decide the claim without that information.

A Claimant may file any claim himself or herself or may designate another person as his or her “authorized representative” by notifying the Committee in writing of that person’s designation. In that case, all subsequent notices are provided to claimant through his or her authorized representative and decisions concerning that claim shall be given to that representative.

Any written notice of adverse benefit determination shall include the following information:

(i) the specific reason or reasons for the denial;

(ii) reference to the specific Plan provisions on which the determination is based;

(iii) a description of any additional material or information necessary for the claimant to seek review and an explanation of why such material or information is necessary;

(iv) a description of the Plan’s review procedures and the time limits applicable to such procedures, including a statement of the Claimant’s right to bring legal action in federal court under the federal pension law known as ERISA, if the Claimant’s claim on review is denied; and

(v) disclosure of any internal rule, guideline, protocol or similar criterion relied on in making the adverse determination.

Any failure of the Committee to respond to the Claimant’s claim for benefit within the allotted time period, including extensions, shall be deemed to be a denial of such claim by all parties.

(b) Appeal of Denied Claim.

If a Claimant’s claim is denied or a Claimant or his or her authorized representative has not received a response within the initial 45-day period or extended 30-day or 60-day period, as applicable, the Claimant or his or her authorized representative, as applicable, may request a review by notice given in writing to the Committee. A Claimant or his or her authorized representative, as applicable, shall have at least 180 days after the receipt of the denial notice to appeal the denial.

17

In connection with a Claimant’s or authorized representative’s right to appeal the Committee’s initial determination regarding the claim, the Claimant or authorized representative, as applicable, also:

(i) may review pertinent documents and submit issues and comments in writing;

(ii) is entitled to have the review of the adverse benefit determination take into account all new information, whether or not presented or available at the initial determination. No deference will be afforded to the initial determination;

(iii) will be given the opportunity to submit written comments, documents, records, or any other information relevant to the claim;

(iv) will, upon request and free of charge, be provided with reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records, and other information relevant to the claim for benefits, including all documents defined by applicable U.S. Department of Labor regulations;

(v) is entitled to have the review conducted by a person different from the person who made the initial determination and such person will not be the original decision maker’s subordinate;

(vi) is entitled to be given a review that takes into account all comments, documents, records, and other information submitted by the Claimant or authorized representative, as applicable, relating to the claim, regardless of whether such information was submitted or considered in the initial benefit determination;

(vii) is entitled to, in the case of a claim denied on the grounds of a medical judgment, have Committee consult with a health professional with appropriate training and experience. The health care professional who is consulted on appeal will not be the individual, if any, who was consulted during the initial determination or a subordinate; and

(viii) if the advice of a medical or vocational expert was obtained by the Committee in connection with the denial of the claim, will be provided with the names of each such expert, regardless of whether the advice was relied upon.

The Committee normally shall issue a decision on an appealed claim involving a Disability determination not later than 45 days following receipt of the written appeal. If the Committee determines that special circumstances require an extension of time for a decision on review, the review period may be extended by an additional 45 days (90 days in total). The Committee shall notify the Claimant or authorized representative, as applicable, in writing if an additional 45 day extension is needed. Any such notice shall be delivered prior to the expiration of the initial 45 day period and shall describe the special circumstances requiring the extension and set forth the date by which the Committee expects the claim to be decided.

If an extension is necessary due to a Claimant’s or authorized representative’s, as applicable, failure to submit the information necessary to decide the appeal,

18

the notice of extension will specifically describe the required information, and the Claimant or authorized representative, as applicable, will be afforded at least 45 days to provide the specified information. If the Claimant or authorized representative, as applicable, delivers the requested information within the time specified, the 45 day extension of the appeal period will begin after such information has been provided. If the Claimant or authorized representative, as applicable, fails to deliver the requested information within the time specified, the Committee may decide the appeal without that information.

Following a denial of a claim on review, the Committee will provide the Claimant or authorized representative, as applicable, with a written notice containing the following information:

(i) the specific reason or reasons for the denial;

(ii) references to the specific Plan provisions on which the denial is based;

(iii) a statement disclosing any internal rule, guideline, protocol or similar criterion relied on in making the adverse determination;

(iv) a statement that the claimant or authorized representative, as applicable, is entitled to receive, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records, and other information relevant to the claim for benefits, including documents not relied upon in deciding the appeal. For this purpose a document is considered “relevant” if it (1) was relied upon in making the benefit determination on the claim; (2) was submitted, considered, or generated in the course of deciding the claim, whether or not relied upon in deciding the claim; (3) demonstrates compliance with the administrative processes and safeguards designed to ensure that benefit claims are decided in accordance with governing Plan documents and that Plan provisions have been applied consistently with respect to similarly situated claimants; or (4) constitutes a statement of policy or guidance with respect to the Plan concerning the denied treatment option or benefit for the Claimant’s diagnosis, without regard to whether such statement was relied upon in deciding the benefit;

(v) a statement describing any voluntary appeal procedures offered by the Plan and the Claimant’s or authorized representative’s, as applicable, right to obtain the information about such procedures, and right to bring an action in federal court under federal law; and (1) if an internal rule, guideline, protocol, or other similar criterion was relied upon in making the adverse determination, the specific rule, guideline, protocol, or other similar criterion; or a statement that such rule, guideline, protocol, or other similar criterion was relied upon in making the adverse determination; (2) if the denial is based on a medical necessity or experimental treatment or similar exclusion or limit an explanation of the scientific or clinical judgment for the determination, applying the terms of the Plan to the Claimant’s medical circumstances; and (3) a statement as follows: ‘You and your plan may have other voluntary alternative dispute resolution options, such as mediation. One way to find out what may be available is to contact your local U.S. Department of Labor Office and your State insurance regulatory agency;’ and

19

(vi) a statement describing the Claimant’s or authorized representative’s, as applicable, right to bring an action in federal court under Section 502(a) of ERISA with respect to such denial of benefits.

ARTICLE 8.

PLAN AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION

Section 8.1 Amendment.

The provisions of the Plan may be amended at any time and from time to time by the Board or any subcommittee thereof or any officer of the Company to whom the Board has delegated such authority. Any such amendment shall be by written instrument, shall be communicated to the Participants, and shall not deprive the Participant of any benefit previously earned or accrued as of the date of the proposed amendment.

Section 8.2 Plan Termination.

(a) The Company reserves the right to terminate the Plan in whole or in part at any time and without notice to any person or entity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such termination shall deprive the Participant of any benefit earned or accrued as of the date of the proposed termination. Subject to Section 8.2(b), in the event of any such termination, the Trustee shall distribute Plan benefits at the time specified for payment of such benefits to the Participant or his or her designated Beneficiary in accordance with Section 4.4 or Section 4.5, as the case may be. A termination of the Plan shall be duly authorized by the Board or any subcommittee thereof or any officer of the Company to whom the Board has delegated such authority. Upon a termination of the Plan for any reason, each Participant shall become fully vested in all of the Stock contributed and allocated to his or her Account pursuant to Section 4.2(a).

(b) In the event of a Change In Control (hereinafter defined), the Plan may be terminated and, within the ninety (90) days following the Change In Control, the unpaid Account balances of all Participants shall be distributed in a single lump sum. For purposes of this subparagraph, the Plan will be treated as terminated as a result of a Change In Control only if all substantially similar arrangements sponsored by the Company are also terminated, so that the Participants of the Plan and participants of any similar plan receive all amounts of compensation deferred under such arrangements within 12 months of the termination date. A “Change In Control” shall occur on the date upon which:

(i) any one person, or more than one person acting as a group (as determined under Treas. Reg. 1.409A-3(i)(5)(v)(B)), acquires (or has acquired during the 12 month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such person or persons) ownership of securities of the Company representing 35% or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities;

20

(ii) a majority of the members of the Board is replaced during any 12-month period by Directors whose appointment or election is not endorsed by a majority of the members of the Board before the date of the appointment or election; or

(iii) any one person, or more than one person acting as a group (as determined under Treas. Reg. 1.409A-3(i)(5)(v)(B)), acquires (or has acquired during the 12-month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such person or persons) assets from the Company that have an aggregate gross fair market value equal to or more than 40 percent of the aggregate gross fair market value of all of the assets of the Company immediately prior to such acquisition or acquisitions. For this purpose, “gross fair market value” means the value of the assets of the Company, or the value of the assets being disposed of, without regard to any liabilities associated with such assets.

ARTICLE 9.

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

Section 9.1 Non-alienation of Benefits.

None of the payments, benefits or rights of the Participant or any Beneficiary shall be subject to any claim of any creditor other than the Company, and, in particular, to the fullest extent permitted by law, all such payments, benefits and rights shall be free from attachment, garnishment, trustee’s process or any other legal or equitable process available to any creditor of the Participant or any Beneficiary of the Participant other than the Company. Neither the Participant nor any Beneficiary shall have the right to alienate, anticipate, commute, pledge, encumber or assign any of the benefits or payments which he or she may expect to receive, contingently or otherwise, under the Plan or the Trust, except that the Participant may designate one or more Beneficiaries as hereinabove provided. Notwithstanding the foregoing, effective as of the 409A Effective Date, the Trustee, if requested by the Company, or the Company may make “payment” (as defined in this Section 9.1) to an individual who is not a Participant to the extent such payment is required under the terms of a domestic relations order within the meaning of Section 414(p)(1)(B) of the Code (a “Domestic Relations Order”). Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of any payment by the Trustee or the Company, as applicable, to an individual who is not a Participant, if made pursuant to the terms of a Domestic Relations Order, shall be construed by all parties as exempt from the prohibitions against anticipation, assignment, alienation, encumbrance, attachment, garnishment, levy, execution or other legal or equitable process contained herein, but only to the extent required to implement the terms of such Domestic Relations Order with respect to such payment. For purposes of this Section 9.1, “payment” shall be limited to (i) an actual distribution of cash, in respect of the Participant’s Earnings Sub-Account, (ii) an in-kind distribution of shares of Stock and (iii), solely for purposes of effectuating a payment described in (i) or (ii), a transfer on the books and records of the Plan of beneficial ownership of all or a portion of the Participant’s benefits under the Plan to the individual(s) identified in the Domestic Relations Order. Under no circumstances shall the Plan permit any individual(s) identified in a Domestic Relations Order to maintain an Account hereunder.

21

Section 9.2 Terms of Employment.

Neither the establishment of the Plan nor any modification thereof, nor the creation of any fund, Trust or account, nor the admission of any person to participation in the Plan, nor the payment of any benefits shall be construed as giving any Employee the right to be retained in the service of the Employer; and each Employee shall remain subject to retention in the employ of Employer and to discharge from such employ to the same extent and on the same conditions as if the Plan was never adopted.

Section 9.3 Severability of Provisions.

If any provision of the Plan is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unlawful or unenforceable, such provision shall be deemed null and void, and the balance of the Plan shall continue in full force and effect, as if such unlawful or unenforceable provision had not been included.

Section 9.4 Effect on Other Parties.

The Plan as set forth herein, and as amended from time to time, shall be binding upon the heirs, executors, administrators, successors, assigns and other personal representatives of the Participant.

Section 9.5 Headings and Captions.

The headings and captions herein are provided for reference and convenience only, shall not be considered part of the Plan and shall not be employed in the construction of the Plan.

Section 9.6 Gender and Number.

All provisions in the Plan are intended to be gender-neutral. Accordingly, except where otherwise clearly indicated by context, the masculine, feminine and neuter form of any word shall include all other gender-designating forms, the singular shall include the plural and vice-versa.

Section 9.7 Payments to Legally Incapacitated Persons.

Any benefit payable to or for the benefit of a minor, an incompetent person or other person incapable of effectively receipting therefor shall be deemed paid when paid to such person’s guardian or to the party providing or reasonably appearing to provide for the care of such person, and such payments shall fully discharge the payor, the Plan Administrator, the Employer and all other parties with respect thereto.

Section 9.8 Reliance on Data and Consents.

The Employer, the Plan Administrator and all other person or entities associated with the operation of the Plan and the provision of benefits under the Plan, may reasonably rely on the veracity, the accuracy and the completeness of all data provided by the Participant, his or her Beneficiary (or Beneficiaries), and his or her representatives, including, without limitation, data with respect to age, health and marital status. Furthermore, the Employer and the Plan Administrator with respect to the Plan may reasonably rely on all

22

consents and designations filed under the Plan, regardless of by whom filed, without duty to inquire into the genuineness of any such consent or designation. None of the aforementioned persons or entities associated with the operation of the Plan, or the benefits provided under the Plan shall have any duty to inquire into any such data, and all may rely on such data being current to the date of presentation, it being the duty of Participants, Beneficiaries and their respective representatives to advise appropriate parties of any change in such data.

Section 9.9 Entire Agreement.

This instrument shall constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and shall supersede all previous understandings on the subject.

Section 9.10 Controlling-Law.

The Plan shall be construed and enforced according to the law of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to the extent not preempted by Federal law, which shall otherwise control.

This Amended and Restated Deferred Compensation Plan is hereby approved and adopted this 18th day of October, 2012.
