ELIGIBILITY AND PARTICIPATION
ELIGIBILITY AND PARTICIPATION
3.01 Eligibility to Participate.
(a) Only Eligible Employees shall be eligible to defer Base Compensation or Bonus
Compensation or receive Employee Deferral Awards under this Plan. During the period an
individual satisfies all of the eligibility requirements of this Section, he or she shall be
referred to as an Eligible Employee.
(b) An Eligible Employee shall mean any employee designated by the Administrator as
eligible to participate in the Plan. Initially, an Eligible Employee is limited to an
employee who is classified by the Administrator as an officer of the Company or any of its
subsidiaries or affiliates, who maintains a position of Grade 70 or higher as defined by the
Global Human Resources Department of the Company, and who receives remuneration that is paid
in U.S. dollars from the Companys U.S. payroll for personal services rendered in the
employment of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates. Notwithstanding the
preceding sentence, from time to time the Administrator may modify, limit or expand the
class of Eligible Employees eligible to defer hereunder, pursuant to criteria for
eligibility that need not be uniform among all or any group of Eligible Employees; provided,
that all Eligible Employees must be management or highly-compensated employees.
(c) Each Eligible Employee shall become an active Participant on the earlier of (i) the
date an amount is first withheld from his or her compensation pursuant to an Election Form
submitted by the Eligible Employee to the Administrator in accordance
3
with Section 5.01 or
(ii) the date on which an Employee Deferral Award is made to such Eligible Employee in
accordance with Section 4.01.
3.02 Termination of Eligibility to Defer or Receive Awards.
A Participants eligibility to make future deferrals under Section 5.01 or to receive future
Employee Deferral Awards shall terminate upon the date he or she ceases to be an Eligible Employee
described in Section 3.01(b). If a Participant ceases to be an Eligible Employee but remains an
Employee, the Participant shall be considered an inactive Participant in this Plan.
3.03 Termination of Participation.
An individual who is a Participant (whether active or inactive) under the Plan shall cease to
be a Participant on the date his or her Account is fully paid out.
ARTICLE IV
EMPLOYEE DEFERRAL AWARDS
EMPLOYEE DEFERRAL AWARDS
4.01 Employee Deferral Awards.
The Administrator may, in its sole discretion, grant Employee Deferral Awards to Eligible
Employees, which awards shall be subject to the terms and conditions, including vesting, as
determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion at the time the Employee Deferral Award is
made and is evidenced in an Employee Deferral Award Agreement. No Eligible Employee or Participant
shall have any claim to be granted any Employee Deferral Award hereunder and there shall be no
obligation for uniformity of treatment of Eligible Employees or Participants hereunder with respect
to Employee Deferral Awards.
ARTICLE V
DEFERRAL OF COMPENSATION
DEFERRAL OF COMPENSATION
5.01 Deferral Elections.
(a) Each Eligible Employee may make an election to defer under the Plan any whole
percentage of his or her Base Compensation (up to 50%) and/or Bonus Compensation (up to
100%) for a Plan Year in the manner described in Section 5.02. Such deferral elections, if
any, shall be in addition to (i) any amounts that may be deferred under the Qualified 401(k)
Plan and (ii) any amounts deferred by the Eligible Employee under the 401(k) Restoration
Plan for the applicable Plan Year. Any percentage of Base Compensation deferred by an
Eligible Employee for a Plan Year shall be deducted ratably over each pay period during the
Plan Year for which he or she has Base Compensation and is an Eligible Employee. The
percentage of Bonus Compensation deferred by an Eligible Employee for a Plan Year shall be
deducted from
his or her payment under the applicable compensation program at the time it would otherwise
be made.
4
(b) Notwithstanding subsection (a) above, the Administrator in its discretion may
implement rules and procedures from time to time that allow Participants: (1) to elect to
defer Base Compensation or Bonus Compensation in amounts other than whole percentages, such
as in whole dollar amounts, or (2) to specify a dollar maximum that would limit their
percentage deferral elections of Base Compensation or Bonus Compensation.
5.02 Time and Manner of Elections.
(a) For each Plan Year, Eligible Employees shall be permitted to defer Base
Compensation and/or Bonus Compensation. All Eligible Employees shall be offered the
opportunity to make two separate and distinct irrevocable elections; one election may be
made with respect to Base Compensation and the other may be made with respect to Bonus
Compensation. Any Eligible Employee who elects to defer Base Compensation or Bonus
Compensation under the Plan must file a completed Election Form with the Administrator by
December 31st of the year preceding the year in which the services are performed
for which the Base Compensation or Bonus Compensation is paid (or such other date
established by the Administrator in accordance with Section 409A).
(b) To be effective, an Eligible Employees Election Form must set forth the percentage
of Base Compensation or Bonus Compensation to be deferred in accordance with subsection (b)
above and any other information that may be required by the Administrator from time to time.
An election shall be irrevocable once received and determined by the Administrator to be
properly completed. The Administrator may grant an extension of any election period or may
permit the complete revocation of an election, but such extension or revocation shall not
permit an election or revocation to be made after the latest time permissible for initial
deferral elections under Section 409A. Increases or decreases in the amount or percentage
of Base Compensation or Bonus Compensation a Participant elects to defer shall not be
permitted once an election has become irrevocable.
(c) A Beneficiary shall be paid in accordance with the terms of a Participants
Election Form, or defaulted based on applicable State law as interpreted by the
Administrator in accordance with the terms of this Plan.
5.03 Newly Eligible Employees.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Administrator, acting on behalf
of the Company, may, in its discretion, permit an employee who first becomes an Eligible Employee
after the beginning of a Plan Year, and such employee is not and was not otherwise eligible to
participate in this or any other nonqualified deferred compensation plan of the Company for the
Plan Year that is required to be aggregated with the Plan for purposes of
Section 409A, to enroll in the Plan to defer Base Compensation or Bonus Compensation for that Plan
Year by filing a completed and fully executed Election Form, in accordance with Section 5.02, as
soon as administratively practicable following the date the employee becomes an
5
Eligible Employee
but, in any event, within thirty (30) days after such date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any
election by an Eligible Employee to make an election to defer Base Compensation pursuant to this
Section shall apply only with respect to Base Compensation to be earned for payroll cycles that
begin after the date on which such Election Form is filed. For this purpose, with respect to the
Bonus Compensation attributable to any annual incentive, the election will be deemed to apply to
the portion of the annual incentive paid for services performed after the Election Form is filed,
such amount to be equal to the total amount of the annual incentive for the performance period
multiplied by the ratio of the number of days remaining in the performance period for the annual
incentive after the Election Form is filed over the total number of days in the performance period.
ARTICLE VI
INTERESTS OF PARTICIPANTS
INTERESTS OF PARTICIPANTS
6.01 Accounting for Participants Interests.
(a) Accounts. A Participants deferral shall be credited to his or her Account
as soon as practicable following the date on which the compensation would have been paid to
the Participant in the absence of its deferral. A Participants Account is a bookkeeping
device designed to track the value of his or her deferrals (and the Companys liability
therefor). No assets are required to be reserved or segregated in connection with any
Account, and no Account shall be insured or otherwise secured.
(b) Account Earnings or Losses. A Participants Account shall be credited with
earnings and gains (and shall be debited for expenses and losses) determined as if the
amounts credited to his or her Account had actually been invested as directed by the
Participant in accordance with this Article VI. The Plan provides only for deemed
investments, and therefore such earnings, gains, expenses and losses are hypothetical and
not actual. However, they shall be applied to measure the value of a Participants Account
and the amount of the Companys liability to make deferred payments to or on behalf of the
Participant.
6.02 Deemed Investment Options; Account Earnings or Losses.
Deemed Investment Options available under the Plan shall consist of some or all of
the Designated Investment Options under the Qualified 401(k) Plan that the Administrator
designates from time to time as the Deemed Investment Options; provided, however, that if
the Participant does not affirmatively elect a Deemed Investment Option, the Participant
will be deemed to have elected the default investment option that the Administrator has
designated for this purpose.
6.03 Changes in Deemed Investment Options.
A Participant may change the Deemed Investment Options to which amounts credited to
a Participants Account are deemed to be allocated on such basis as determined by the
Administrator in its sole discretion.
6
6.04 Vesting of a Participants Account.
(a) Base Compensation and Bonus Compensation. A Participants interest in the
value of any deferrals of Base Compensation or Bonus Compensation credited to his or her
Account shall at all times be 100% vested, and shall not be forfeited as a result of his or
her Separation from Service or any other reason. However, a Participants right to be paid
by the Company shall remain subject to the claims of the general creditors of the Company.
(b) Employee Deferral Awards. A Participants interest in the value of any
Employee Deferral Awards credited to his or her Account shall vest in accordance with the
terms set forth in the Participants Employee Deferral Award Agreement. Accordingly, unless
otherwise provided in a Participants Employee Deferral Award Agreement, the value of any
unvested Employee Deferral Awards (or any unvested portions thereof) credited to a
Participants Account shall be forfeited upon such Participants Separation from Service.
(c) Accelerated Vesting upon a Change in Control. Unless otherwise set forth
in a Participants Employee Deferral Award Agreement, upon a Change in Control, a
Participant will become immediately and 100% vested in his or her Employee Deferral Award.
ARTICLE VII
DISTRIBUTIONS
DISTRIBUTIONS
7.01 General.
A Participants Account shall be distributed as provided in this Article VII. In no event
shall any portion of a Participants Account be distributed in any manner that is not in compliance
with Section 409A.
7.02 Distribution Pursuant to Deferral Election.
(a) Distribution Date. Unless distributed earlier as provided in this Plan,
distributions from a Participants vested Account shall be made within sixty days following the
Participants Separation from Service. Notwithstanding the above, if the Participant is classified
as a Specified Employee within the meaning of Section 409A at the time the individual incurs a
Separation from Service, then, to the extent necessary to avoid the imposition of additional taxes,
distributions from a Participants vested Account shall not be paid for six months following the
date of such Specified Employees Separation from Service. Any delayed payments during this
six-month period shall include any returns on Deemed Investment Options credited thereon as
described in Section 6.01.
(b) Method of Payment. All distributions under this Plan shall be paid in cash in a
lump sum after applicable tax withholdings.
7
(c) Distributions on Death. In the event of a Participants death before his or her
Account has been distributed, distribution(s) shall be made to the Beneficiary (which Beneficiary
shall be designated by the Eligible Employee or otherwise follow applicable State law) in a single
lump sum cash payment within sixty (60) days after the date of death or as soon as administratively
feasible.
(d) Distributions on Unforeseeable Emergency. In the event of an Unforeseeable
Emergency, in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A, a Participant may request a
distribution of all or any vested portion of his or her Account.

extent thereof, be in full satisfaction of all claims against the Administrator, the Company and
any of its subsidiaries and affiliates, and the Administrator may require such Participant, as a

provisions of this instrument shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or
unenforceable, the remaining provisions hereof shall continue to be fully effective.

masculine, feminine, or neuter gender shall be deemed to include the other. Whenever an example is
provided or the text uses the term including followed by a specific item or items, or there is a
passage having a similar effect, such passage of the Plan shall be construed as if the phrase
without limitation followed such example or term (or otherwise applied to such passage in a
manner that avoids limitation on its breadth of application).

Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, neither the Company nor any individual
acting as employee or agent of the Company shall be liable to any Participant, former Participant,
Beneficiary, or any other person for any claim, loss, liability or expense incurred in connection
with this Plan, unless attributable to fraud or willful misconduct on the part of the Company or

fail to satisfy the requirements of Section 409A, such provision shall be deemed null and void to
the extent permitted by applicable law.
