this Plan.

such Participant's Deferred Compensation.
3.02 Automatic Distribution Date: On or after January 1, 2002, "Automatic Distribution
Date" means April 1 of the calendar year after the Plan year the Participant attains age 70

Participation Agreement to change the amount of compensation not yet paid which is to
be deferred (including the reduction of such future deferrals to zero) or to change his

ARTICLE VII. NON-RESPONSIBILITY CLAUSE
The Employer may, but is not required to, invest funds held pursuant to agreements
between Participants and the Employer in accordance with the preference or preferences
indicated by each Participant at the time of enrollment or change in enrollment,
prospectively only. The Employer shall retain the right to approve or disapprove such
investment request or requests, for transfer of investment among different modes of
investment available under the Plan. Any such action by the Employer in investing funds,
or approving of any investment of funds, shall not be considered to be either an
endorsement or guarantee of any investment, nor shall it be considered to attest to the
financial soundness or the suitability of any investment for the purpose of meeting future
obligations.
In no event shall the Employer's obligation to pay benefits to a Participant exceed the
value of the amounts credited to the Participant's account; the Employer shall not be
liable for losses arising from depreciation or shrinkage, in the value of any investments
acquired under this Plan.
ARTICLE VIII. TRUST AND INVESTMENT OF ACCOUNTS
8.01 Investment Funds: In accordance with uniform and nondiscriminatory rules
established by the Employer and the Provider, the Participant may direct his Accounts to
be invested in one (1) or more investment funds available under the Plan; provided,
however, that the Participant's investment directions shall not violate any investment
restrictions established by the Employer. Neither the Employer, the Provider, nor any
other person shall be liable for any losses incurred by virtue of following such directions or
with any reasonable administrative delay in implementing such directions.
8.02 Crediting of Accounts: The Participant's Account shall reflect the amount and value
of the investments or other property obtained by the Employer through the investment of
the Participant's Deferred Compensation. Each Participant shall receive periodic reports
from the Providers, not less frequently than annually, showing the then current value of
his Account. Investment and market valuation of mutual funds can be made only when
the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading.
8.03 Trust: Notwithstanding any contrary provision of the Plan, in accordance with
Section 457(g) of the Internal Revenue Code, all amounts of compensation deferred
pursuant to the Plan, all property and rights purchased with such amounts, and all income
attributable to such amounts, property, or rights shall be held in trust for the exclusive
benefit of participants and beneficiaries under the Plan. Any trust under the Plan shall be
established pursuant to a written agreement that constitutes a valid trust under the law of
the State of California.
All amounts of compensation deferred under the Plan shall be transferred to a trust
established under the Plan within a period that is not longer than is reasonable for the
proper administration of the accounts of participants. Attached hereto as Exhibit A, an

an eligible rollover distribution from an eligible retirement plan. If the Employee is
not already a Participant in the Plan, prior to making the rollover, the Employee must
complete such enrollment forms as the Plan Administrator may require for initial
enrollments in the Plan; and the Employee will become a Participant when the
rollover contribution is paid to the Plan.
The Employer may require such documentation from the distributing plan as it
deems necessary to determine that the rollover will qualify as an eligible rollover
distribution under the applicable provisions of the Code.
The Plan shall separately account for any eligible rollover distributions from any
eligible retirement plan that is not an eligible deferred compensation plan described
in Section 457(b) of the Code maintained by an eligible governmental employer
described in Section 457(e)(1)(A) of Code. The Employer may refuse to accept a
transfer in the form of assets other than cash, unless the Employer or Provider
agree to hold such assets under the Plan.
Rollover Contributions to the Plan are payable to the participant only as provided in
Article X and may be the basis for a Participant loan that is made under Article XI.
(c)
Outgoing Rollovers: Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary that
would otherwise limit a distributee's election under this Article, a distributee may
elect, at the time and in the manner prescribed by the Plan Administrator, to have
any portion of an eligible rollover distribution paid directly to an eligible retirement
plan specified by the distributee in a direct rollover.
(d) Definitions:
(1)
Eligible Rollover Distribution: An eligible rollover distribution is any distribution of
all or any portion of the balance to the credit of the distributee, except that an
eligible rollover distribution does not include: any distribution that is one of a
series of substantially equal periodic payments (not less frequently than
annually) made for the life (or life expectancy) of the distributee or the joint lives
(or joint life expectancies) of the distributee and the distributee's designated
beneficiary, or for a specified period of ten years or more; any distribution to the
extent such distribution is required under Sections 401(a)(9) and 457(d)(2) of the
Code; and any distribution made as a result of an unforeseeable emergency of
the employee. For purposes of distributions from other eligible retirement plans
rolled over into this Plan, the term eligible rollover distribution shall not include
the portion of any distribution that is not includible in gross income (determined
without regard to the exclusion for net unrealized appreciation with respect to
employer securities).
(2)
Eligible Retirement Plan: An eligible retirement plan is an individual retirement
account described in Section 408(a) of the Code, an individual retirement annuity
described in Section 408(b) of the Code, an annuity plan described in Sections
403(a) or 403(b) of the Code, a qualified trust described in Section 401(a) of the
Code, or an eligible deferred compensation plan described in Section 457(b) of
the Code which is maintained by an eligible governmental employer described in
Section 457(e)(1)(A) of the Code, provided that for outgoing rollovers it accepts
the distributee's eligible rollover distribution.
(3)
Distributee: For purposes of outgoing rollovers, a distributee includes an
employee or former employee. In addition, the employee's or former employee's
surviving spouse and the employee's or former employee's spouse or former
spouse who is the alternate payee under a qualified domestic relations order, as
defined in Section 414(p) of the Code, are distributees with regard to the interest
of the spouse or former spouse.
(4) Direct Rollover: A direct rollover is a payment by the plan to the eligible
retirement plan specified by the distributee.
9.02 Trustee-to-Trustee Transfers to Purchase Permissive Service Credit: At the
election of a Participant, and without regard to the distribution restrictions of Section
10.01, all or a portion of a Participant's Account may be transferred directly to the
trustee of a defined benefit governmental plan (as defined in Section 414(d) of the
Code) and as permitted for acceptance by the Defined Benefit Governmental Plan, if
such transfer is (A) for the purchase of permissive service credit (as defined in Section
415(n)(3)(A) of the Code) under such plan, or (B) a repayment to which Section 415 of
the Code does not apply by reason of subsection (k)(3) thereof, within the meaning of
Section 457(e)(17) of the Code.
9.03 Treatment of Distributions of Amounts Previously Rolled Over From 401(a) and
403(b) Plans and IRAs. For purposes of Section 72(t) of the Code, a distribution from
this Plan shall be treated as a distribution from a qualified retirement plan described in
Section 4974(c)(1) of the Code to the extent that such distribution is attributable to an
amount transferred to an eligible deferred compensation plan from a qualified
retirement plan (as defined in Section 4974(c) of the Code).
ARTICLE X. DISTRIBUTION OF BENEFITS
10.01 Retirement Benefits and Election on Severance Event:
(a) General Rule: Except as otherwise provided in this Article X, the distribution of a

Date, and the distribution of such benefits shall be made in accordance with one of
the payment options described in Article 10.02. Notwithstanding the foregoing, but
subject to the following paragraphs of this Article 10.01, the Participant may elect
following a Severance Event to have the distribution of benefits commence on a
fixed determinable date other than that described in the preceding sentence, but not
later than April I of the year following the year of the Participant's Retirement or
attainment of age 70-1/2, whichever is later. Prior to January 1, 2002, an election
made pursuant to the preceding sentence shall not be valid unless such election is
made not less than 30 days prior to the date that the distribution of a Participant's
Account would otherwise commence.
(b) Additional Delay in Distribution: The Participant may elect to defer the commencement
of distribution of benefits to a fixed determinable date later than the date provided in
Article 10.01(a), but not later than April 1 of the year following the year of the
Participant's retirement or attainment of age 70-1/2, whichever is later, provided,
however, that in the case of elections made prior to January 1,2002, (a) such election
is made after the 61st day following the Participant's Severance Event and before
commencement of distributions, (b) the Participant may only make only one (1) such
election, and (c) such election is made not less than 30 days prior to the date the
distribution of a Participant's Account would otherwise commence. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Plan Administrator, in order to ensure the orderly administration of
this provision, may establish a deadline after which such election to defer the
commencement of distribution of benefits shall not be allowed.
(c) Loans: Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article 10.01, no election to
defer the commencement of benefits after a Severance Event shall operate to defer
the distribution of any amount in the Participant's Loan Account in the event of a
default of the Participant's loan.
10.02 Payment Options:
As provided in Articles 10.01, 10.05, 10.06 and 10.07, a Participant or Beneficiary may
elect to have the value of the Participant's Account distributed in accordance with one of
the following payment options, provided that such option is consistent with the limitations
set forth in Article 10.04:
(a) Equal monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual payments in an amount chosen by
the Participant, continuing until his Account is exhausted;
(b) One lump-sum payment;
(c) Loan Limit. No Participant loan shall exceed the present value of the Participant's
Account.
(d) Approximately equal monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual payments, calculated
to continue for a certain period chosen by the Participant.
(e) Annual Payments equal to the minimum distributions required under Section 401(a)(9)
of the Code, including the incidental death benefit requirements of Section
401(a)(9)(G), over the life expectancy of the Participant or over the life expectancies of
the Participant and his Beneficiary.
(f) Payments equal to payments made by the issuer of a retirement annuity policy
acquired by the Provider.
lO
(g) A split distribution under which payments under options (a), (b), (c) or (e) commence
or are made at the same time, as elected by the Participant under Article 10.01,
provided that all payments commence (or are made) by the latest benefit
commencement date under Article 10.01.
(h) Any payment option elected by the Participant and agreed to by the Employer and
Provider and as provided for by the Internal Revenue Service.
A Participant's or Beneficiary's selection of a payment option made after December 31,
1995, under Subsections (a), (c), or (g) above may include the selection of an automatic
annual cost-of-living increase. Such increase will be based on the rise in the Consumer
Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) from the third quarter of the last year in
which a cost-of-living increase was provided to the third quarter of the current year. Any
increase will be made in periodic payment checks beginning the following January.
10.03 Default:
A Participant's or Beneficiary's election of a payment option must be made at least 30
days before the payment of benefits is to commence.
If, prior to January 1, 2002, a Participant or Beneficiary made a timely election of a
payment date but failed to specify a payment option or failed to make a timely election
of both payment date and option, and as a result, either was defaulted to benefit
commencement at age 65, or such other date as the Participant or Beneficiary may
have specified, benefits shall be paid annually in the amount of $100 per year
commencing at age 65 or the date specified by the Participant or Beneficiary until the
Participant or Beneficiary reaches age 70-1/2. When the Participant or Beneficiary
reaches age 70-1/2, payments shall be made in accordance with Code section
401(a)(9) and the regulations thereunder.
10.04 Limitation on Options:
No payment option may be selected by a Participant under subsections 10.02(a) or (c)
unless the amount of any installment is not less than $100 per year. No payment
option may be selected by a Participant under Sections 10.02, 10.06, or 10.07 unless it
satisfies the requirements of Sections 401(a)(9) and 457(d)(2) of the Code, including
that payments commencing before the death of the Participant shall satisfy the
incidental death benefit requirements under Section 401(a)(9)(G).
10.05 Minimum Distribution:
Starting the year a Participant who has a Severance Event reaches age 70-1/2 he is
required to withdraw a minimum amount annually from his account. If the Participant
works past age 70-1/2, he is required to begin withdrawals for the year in which he
actually has a Severance Event.
For purposes of this Section, the Internal Revenue Code Regulations shall apply when
determining the minimum distribution.
11
10.06 Post-Retirement Death Benefits:
(a)
Should the Participant die after he has begun to receive benefits under a payment
option, the remaining payments, if any, under the payment option shall be payable to
the Participant's Beneficiary within the 30-day period beginning with the 61st day after
the Participant's death, unless the Beneficiary elects payment under a different
payment option that is available under Article 10.02 within 60 days of the Participant's
death. Any different payment option elected by a Beneficiary under this section must
provide for payments at a rate that is at least as rapid under the payment option that
was applicable to the Participant. In no event shall the Employer or Provider be liable
to the Beneficiary for the amount of any payment made in the name of the Participant
before the Employer or Provider receives proof of death of the Participant.
(b)
If the designated Beneficiary does not continue to live for the remaining period of
payments under the payment option, then the commuted value of any remaining
payments under the payment option shall be paid in a lump sum to the
Beneficiary(ies) of the Beneficiary. In the event that the Beneficiary has no named
Beneficiary(ies) on file, payment shall be made in a lump sum to the estate of the
Beneficiary.

401,403(b) or governmental 457 plan in which the spouse participates.

remaining payments under the payment option shall be paid to the Participant's estate in
a lump sum.
10.07 Pre-Retirement Death Benefits:
(a)
Should the Participant die before he has begun to receive the benefits provided by
Article 10.01, the value of the Participant's Account shall be payable to the Beneficiary
commencing within the 30-day period beginning on the 91st day after the Participant's
death, unless the Beneficiary elects a different fixed or determinable benefit
commencement date within 90 days of the Participant's death. Such benefit
commencement date shall be not later than the later of (i) December 31 of the year
following the year of the Participant's death, or (ii) if the Beneficiary is the Participant's
spouse, December 31 of the year in which the Participant would have attained age 70-
1/2.
(b)
Unless a Beneficiary elects a different payment option prior to the benefit
commencement date, death benefits under this Section shall be paid in approximately
equal annual installments over five years, or over such shorter period as may be
necessary to assure that the amount of any annual installment is not less than $1,200.
A Beneficiary shall be treated as if he were a Participant for purposes of determining
the payment options available under Article 10.02, provided, however, that the
payment option chosen by the Beneficiary must provide for payments to the
Beneficiary over a period no longer than the life expectancy of the Beneficiary, and
provided that such period may not exceed (15) years if the Beneficiary is not the
Participant's spouse.
12
(c)
In the event that the Beneficiary dies before the payment of death benefits has
commenced or been completed, the remaining value of the Participant's Account shall
be paid in a lump sum to the Beneficiary(ies) of the Beneficiary.
(d) If the beneficiary is a spouse, the Beneficiary may rollover distributions to an IRA or a
401,403(b) or governmental 457 plan in which the spouse participates.
In the event that the Participant's estate is the Beneficiary, payment shall be made to the
Participant's estate in a lump sum.
10.08 Unforeseeable Emergencies:
(a)
In the event an unforeseeable emergency occurs, a Participant may apply to the Plan
Administrator to receive that part of the value of his Account that is reasonably needed
to satisfy the emergency need. If such an application is approved by the Plan
Administrator, the Participant shall be paid only such amount as the Plan
Administrator deems necessary to meet the emergency need, but payment shall not
be made to the extent that the financial hardship may be relieved through cessation of
deferral under the Plan, insurance or other reimbursement, or liquidation of other
assets to the extent such liquidation would not itself cause severe financial hardship.
(b)
An unforeseeable emergency shall be deemed to involve only circumstances of
severe financial hardship to the Participant resulting from a sudden unexpected
illness, accident, or disability of the Participant or of a dependent (as defined in
Section 152(a) of the Code) of the Participant, loss of the Participant's property due to
casualty, or other similar and extraordinary unforeseeable circumstances arising as a
result of events beyond the control of the Participant. For example the need to send a
Participant's child to college, divorce, or to purchase a new home shall not be
considered unforeseeable emergencies. The determination as to whether such an
unforeseeable emergency exists shall be based on the merits of each individual case.
The Plan Administrator shall determine whether such unforeseeable emergency exists.
If a request for an unforeseeable emergency is denied, the Participant may appeal the
decision to the Deferred Compensation Committee. The written appeal must be filed with
the Plan Administrator within 30 days of the date of the denial. The decision of the
Deferred Compensation Committee shall be final.
Withdrawals of amounts because of an unforeseeable emergency will be permitted only
to the extent reasonably needed to satisfy the emergency.
If the Participant receives a withdrawal for a Unforeseeable Emergency, he must stop
contributions to the Deferred Compensation Plan for a period of six (6) months, or as
allowable by IRS Regulations
10.09 Transitional Rule for Pre-1989 Benefit Elections: In the event that, prior to January
1, 1989, a Participant or Beneficiary has commenced receiving benefits under a payment
option then that payment shall remain in effect unless a change is allowed by the Internal
Revenue Service.

exclusive of any Rollover Contribution Accounts, does not exceed $5,000

revised by the Internal Revenue Service and/or the Department of Labor), the Employer
shall discharge its obligation by a lump sum payment.
10.12 Forfeiture: The Plan Administrator is authorized to declare a forfeiture to the
Plan of all Plan distributions and any income or other increment thereon if the owner,
participant or beneficiary cannot be found and has not, within three years after it
becomes payable or distributable, accepted the distribution, corresponded in writing
concerning the distribution, or otherwise indicated an interest as evidenced by a
memorandum or other written record on file with the Plan Administrator. All forfeitures
shall be used to offset future Plan expenses.

following requirements:
(a) Availability. Loans shall be made available to all Participants on a reasonably
equivalent basis.

rate.

balance of the loan shall be a deemed distribution. In such event, an actual
distribution of a plan loan offset amount will not occur until a distributable event
occurs in the Plan.
(d)
Reduction of Account. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, the portion
of the Participant's Account balance used as a security interest held by the Plan by
reason of a loan outstanding to the Participant shall be taken into account for
purposes of determining the amount of the Account balance payable at the time of
death or distribution, but only if the reduction is used as repayment of the loan.
(e) Amount of Loan. At the time the loan is made, the principal amount of the loan plus
the outstanding balance (principal plus accrued interest) due on any other
outstanding loans to the Participant from the Plan and from all other plans of the
Employer that are qualified employer plans under Section 72(p)(4) of the Code shall
not exceed the lesser of:
(1) 50,000, reduced by the excess (if any) of
(a)
The highest outstanding balance of loans from the Plan during

under this Plan.

notice, as determined by the Plan Administrator, of the amount and desired time for
receiving a loan. No more than one (1) loan may be made by the Plan to a
Participant's in any calendar year. No loan shall be approved if an existing loan
from the Plan to the Participant is in default to any extent.
(g)
Length of Loan. Any loan issued shall require the Participant to repay the loan in
substantially equal installments of principal and interest, at least monthly, over a
period that does not exceed five (5) years from the date of the loan; provided,
however, that if the proceeds of the loan are applied by the Participant to acquire
any dwelling unit that is to be used within a reasonable time (determined at the time
of the loan is made) after the loan is made as the principal residence of the
Participant, the five (5) year limit shall not apply. In this event, the period of
repayment shall not exceed a reasonable period determined by the Employer.
15
Principal installments and interest payments otherwise due may be suspended for
up to one (1) year during an authorized leave of absence, if the promissory note so
provides, but not beyond the original term permitted under this subsection (h), with a

conditions of the loan as it deems necessary to comply with legal requirements, to
maintain the qualification of the Plan and Trust under Section 457 of the Code, or to
prevent the treatment of the loan for tax purposes as a distribution to the Participant.
The Employer, in its discretion for any reason, may also fix other terms and conditions
of the loan, including, but not limited to, the provision of grace periods following an
event of default, not inconsistent with the provisions of this Article and Section 72(p) of
the Code, and any applicable regulations thereunder.
11.03 Participant Loan Accounts:
(a)
Upon approval of a loan to a Participant by the Plan Administrator, an amount not in
excess of the loan shall be transferred from the Participant's other investment
fund(s), described in Article 8.01 of the Plan, to the Participant's Loan Account as of
the Accounting Date immediately preceding the agreed upon date on which the loan
is to be made.

promissory notes received by the Plan from the Participant as consideration for a
loan permitted by Article 11.01 of the Plan or in cash. Uninvested cash balances in

Provider, nor any other person shall be liable for any loss, or by reason of any
breach, that results from the Participant's exercise of such control.

or, where repayment cannot be made by payroll deduction, by check, and shall be

of the Plan, as of the next Accounting Date after payment thereof to the Trust.

12.01 In General: Except as provided in Article 12.02, no Participant or Beneficiary shall
have any right to commute, sell, assign, pledge, transfer or otherwise convey or
encumber the right to receive any payments hereunder, which payments and rights are
expressly declared to be non-assignable and non-transferable.
12.02 Domestic Relations Orders:
(a)
Allowance of Transfers: To the extent required under final judgment, decree, or order
(including approval of a property settlement agreement) that (i) relates to the
provision of child support, alimony payments, or marital property rights and (ii) is
made pursuant to a state domestic relations law, any portion of a Participant's
Account may be paid or set aside for payment to a spouse, former spouse, child, or
other dependent of the Participant.
Where necessary to carry out the terms of such an order, a separate Account shall be
established with respect to the spouse, former spouse, or child who shall be entitled to
make investment selections with respect thereto in the same manner as the
Participant; any amount so set aside for a spouse, former spouse, or child shall be
paid out in a lump at the earliest date that benefits may be paid to the Participant,
unless the order directs a different time or form of payment. To the extent provided
in Article IX, the alternate payee may elect to transfer all or part of a distribution to an
eligible retirement plan. In addition, in accordance with Code Section 414(p)(10),
this Plan shall consider an order a qualified domestic relations order even if such
order requires a distribution to an alternate payee prior to the time that a Participant
has a Severance Event. Any Payment made to a person other than the Participant
pursuant to this Article shall be reduced by any required income tax withholding and
shall be taxable to the alternate payee.
(b)
Release from Liability to Participant: The Employer's liability to pay benefits to a
Participant shall be reduced to the extent that amounts have been paid or set aside
for payment to a spouse, former spouse, or child pursuant to paragraph (a) of the
Article. No such transfer shall be effectuated unless the Employer has been provided
with satisfactory evidence that the Employer is released from any further claim by the
Participant with respect to such amounts. The Participant shall be deemed to have
released the Employer from any claim with respect to such amounts, in any case in
which (i) the Employer has been served with legal process or otherwise joined in a
proceeding relating to such transfer, (ii) the Participant has been notified of the
pendency of such proceeding in the manner prescribed by the law of the jurisdiction in
which the proceeding is pending for service of process in such action or by mail from
the Employer to the Participant's last known mailing address, and (iii) the Participant
3.'7
(c)
fails to obtain an order of the court in the proceeding relieving the Employer from the
obligation to comply with the judgment, decree, or order.
Participation in Legal Proceedings: The Employer shall not be obligated to defend
against or set aside any judgment, decree, or order described in paragraph (a) or any
legal order relating to the garnishment of a Participant's benefits, unless the full
expense of such legal action is borne by the Participant. In the event that the
Participant's action (or inaction) nonetheless causes the Employer to incur such
expense, the amount of the expense may be charged against the Participant's
Account and thereby reduce the Employer's obligation to pay benefits to the
Participant. In the course of any proceeding relating to divorce, separation, or child
support, the Employer shall be authorized to disclose information relating to the
Participant's Account to the Participant's spouse, former spouse, or child (including
the legal representatives of the spouse, former spouse, or child), or to a court.
