APPENDIX A
SUPPLEMENTAL RETIREMENT CONTRIBUTIONS

A.1.    Supplemental Retirement Contributions. Unless otherwise determined by the Employer, the annual Supplemental Retirement Contribution for a designated Eligible Executive will be equal to ten percent (10%) of the sum of (i) the Eligible Executive’s Base Salary for the Plan Year and (ii) the Bonus paid to the Eligible Executive in the Plan Year. The Supplemental Retirement Contribution for a Plan Year will be credited to the Participant’s Supplemental Retirement Contribution Account at such time after the end of the Plan Year as may be determined by the Employer. To be eligible to receive the Supplemental Retirement Contribution for a Plan Year, the Participant must be actively employed on the last day of the Plan Year, provided that if a Participant terminates employment during a Plan Year as a result of death, Disability or after qualifying for Retirement, the Participant will receive a Supplemental Retirement Contribution for such Plan Year based upon his Base Salary received and any Bonus paid prior to the date of his Termination of Employment. Earnings on the Participant’s Supplemental Retirement Contribution Account shall be determined in accordance with Section 3.2.
A.2.    Vesting of Supplemental Retirement Contribution Account. Except in the event of death or Disability, a Participant will vest in his Supplemental Retirement Contribution Account upon completion of three (3) Years of Vesting Service after the date the Participant becomes eligible to participate in the Supplemental Retirement Contribution portion of the Plan. In the event while actively employed, a Participant dies or incurs a Disability, the Participant’s Supplemental Retirement Contribution Account shall become fully vested. On the date an Eligible Executive is first designated as eligible to receive a Supplemental Retirement Contribution, the Employer may give the Eligible Executive credit for service with the Employer (or another employer) prior to the date of such initial eligibility.
A.3.    Distribution of Supplemental Retirement Contribution Account. A Participant’s vested Supplemental Retirement Contribution Account shall be payable in accordance with Article IV, V, or VI, as applicable, except as follows:
(i)     No Scheduled Withdrawals are permitted from the Supplemental Retirement Contribution Account.
(ii)     In lieu of Section 4.1, the following provision shall apply to the Participant’s Supplemental Retirement Contribution Account: Upon a Participant’s Termination of Employment after he attains age 55, vested amounts credited to the Participant’s Supplemental Retirement Contribution Account shall be paid in a single lump sum unless the Participant has elected within 30 days of becoming eligible to participate in the Supplemental Retirement Contribution portion of the Plan (or such other time period as provided by the Administrator in accordance with Section 409A) to have such Supplemental Retirement Contribution Account paid in substantially level annual installments over a specified period of not more than fifteen (15) years. Payments shall begin on the Settlement Date following the Participant’s Termination of Employment. Any reference in the Plan to making payments or paying Retirement benefits in accordance with Section 4.1 shall mean payment in accordance with this Section A.3(ii) for the Supplemental Retirement Contribution Account.
(iii)     In lieu of Section 4.2, the following Termination Benefit provision shall apply: If the Participant’s Termination of Employment for any reason other than death or Disability occurs prior to age 55, his vested Supplemental Retirement Contribution Account shall remain credited to the Participant in the Plan (with notional earnings as provided in Article 3 through the Valuation Date) and shall be payable in a lump sum on the Settlement Date following the date the Participant attains age 55.
(iv)     Section 4.3 and Section 5.3 shall apply with respect to the Participant’s Account excluding the Participant’s Supplemental Retirement Contribution Account. In addition, if the amount of the Participant’s Supplemental Retirement Contribution Account at the time the Participant (or the Participant’s Beneficiary) would otherwise commence installment payments in accordance with A.3(ii) is less than or equal to fifty thousand dollars



($50,000), the Company shall pay the Participant’s Supplemental Retirement Contribution Account in a single lump sum payable on the last day of the month in which such benefits first become payable.
(v)    For the avoidance of doubt, Sections 4.4, 4.5 and 4.6 shall apply to the Participant’s Supplemental Retirement Contribution Account provided that only vested Supplemental Retirement Contribution Accounts shall be available for distributions on account of Financial Hardship under Section 4.5.
