History. The Plan is effective as of January 1, 2005, and constitutes an amendment and restatement of the plans listed in Attachment A (the "Predecessor Plans"). AT&T and companies whose equity interests are owned 100%, directly or indirectly, by AT&T ("Subsidiary") sponsored the Predecessor Plans for the benefit of their respective eligible employees. No additional benefits shall accrue under the Predecessor Plans after December 31, 2004, and benefits of Participants who terminate employment on or after January 1, 2005 shall be paid solely under this Plan. The Predecessor Plans were intended to supplement participants' Pension Plan benefits by # recognizing compensation that is not eligible to be recognized for purposes of calculating Pension Plan benefits, either as a result of statutory limitations or Pension Plan limitations, and/or # providing benefits in excess of the limitations of Code Section 415. This Plan is intended to aggregate all of such Predecessor Plans and provide substantially similar benefits, on a going forward basis. Further, this Plan is intended to satisfy the requirements of Code Section 409A, effective with respect to amounts deferred after December 31, 2004. During the period from January 1, 2005 to December 31, 2008, the Plan has been operated in good faith compliance with the provisions of Code Section 409A, Internal Revenue Service Notice 2005-1, and the final Treasury Regulations for Code Section 409A, and any other generally applicable guidance published in the Internal Revenue Service Bulletin with an effective date prior to January 1, 2009. On or after January 1, 2009, this Plan shall be interpreted and construed consistent with the requirements of Code Section 409A and all applicable guidance issued thereunder.

To the extent permitted by applicable law and terms of the benefit plans, Employer shall include in Employee’s credited service, in any case where credited service is relevant in determining eligibility for or benefits under any employee benefits plan, Employee’s service for any parent, subsidiary or affiliate of Employer or for any entity acquired by, or other predecessor of, Employer.

Unless earlier terminated in accordance with Article V above, the Plan shall terminate on the date of the Company's 2015 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, and no further Stock Options may be granted hereunder after such date. No further awards shall be made under the Predecessor Plans after the Effective Date. Awards outstanding under the Predecessor Plans shall remain outstanding after the Effective Date subject to the terms thereof.

If, on or after the Effective Date, any shares of Common Stock subject to an award granted under the Predecessor Plans are forfeited, or an award granted under the Predecessor Plans (in whole or in part) is cancelled or forfeited, expires, is settled for cash or is unearned, the shares of Common Stock subject to such award will, to the extent of such cancellation, forfeiture, expiration, cash settlement or unearned amount, be available for awards under this Plan.

"Predecessor Plans" shall have the meaning set forth in Section 1.1.

Effective Date/Termination. This Plan will be effective as of the Effective Date. No grants will be made on or after the Effective Date under the Predecessor Plans, provided that outstanding awards granted under the Predecessor Plans will continue following the Effective Date. No grant will be made under this Plan on or after the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date, but all grants made prior to such date will continue in effect thereafter subject to the terms thereof and of this Plan. For clarification purposes, the terms and conditions of this Plan shall not apply to or otherwise impact previously granted and outstanding awards under the Predecessor Plans, as applicable (except for purposes of providing for shares of Common Stock under such awards to be added to the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock available under Section 3(a)(i) of this Plan pursuant to the share counting rules of this Plan).

Plans. Prior to commencing construction of any Tenant’s changes Tenant shall furnish to Landlord, for Landlord’s reasonable approval, a detailed layout plan (the “Space Plan”), prepared by Tenant’s architect (as reasonably approved by Landlord) (“Tenant’s Architect”), for the improvements Tenant desires to have constructed in the Premises or portion thereof. The Space Plan shall also # show types of finishes for the improvements, # separately note any proposed structural work or extraordinary electrical, plumbing or HVAC requirements, # show improvements that conform to Landlord’s base building requirements, the “Tenant Construction Standards” and “Conditions for Construction”, if any, then applicable to the Building (collectively, the “Building Construction Standards”) and applicable building codes and other local, state or federal law, ordinance, rule, regulation, code, or order of any governmental entity or insurance requirement (collectively, “Legal Requirements”) now in force or which may hereafter be enacted, # be in sufficient detail as would permit the selected contractor to obtain preliminary estimates of the cost of performing all work shown thereon and # be subject to Landlord’s reasonable approval. Landlord shall respond to the Space Plan within five (5) business days after Landlord’s receipt thereof. Tenant shall cause Tenant’s Architect to promptly revise the Space Plan to address any reasonable objections raised by Landlord and Tenant shall resubmit an appropriately revised Space Plan to Landlord within five (5) business days after receipt of Landlord’s objections. This procedure shall be followed until all objections have been resolved and the Space Plan approved by Landlord and Tenant. Tenant is responsible for providing a Space Plan that complies with all applicable building codes and other Legal Requirements, and Landlord’s aforementioned approval of the Space Plan merely indicates Landlord’s consent to the proposed work shown thereon. In no event shall such approval of the Space Plan by Landlord be deemed to constitute a representation by Landlord that the work called for in the Space Plan complies with applicable Legal Requirements nor shall such consent release Tenant from Tenant’s obligation to supply a Space Plan that conforms to applicable Legal Requirements. The Space Plan, as approved by Tenant and Landlord, is referred to hereinafter as the “Final Space Plan.”
