Future contributions of the Parties, required in the interest of the Joint Venture, shall upon decision by the Board be in proportion to each Party's share in the Joint Venture, being understood that the Parties’ respective participation in the Joint Venture shall be determined at the moment such future additional contribution is required, in accordance with the provisions of [Section 7.2] and following subsections below.

Contributions. In order to meet its obligations hereunder, the Company may, in its sole discretion, contribute to a trust the funds necessary to provide the benefits hereunder. The assets of any such trust shall remain subject to the claims of the Company’s general creditors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company’s obligations hereunder shall constitute general, unsecured obligations, payable solely out of its general assets, and no Participant or other person shall have any right to specific assets. Title to and beneficial ownership of any assets, whether cash or investments, that the Company may set aside or earmark to meet its obligations hereunder, shall at all times remain in the Company; provided that legal title to any assets placed in a trust shall be in the trustee.

Contributions. The Employer shall provide the Administrator with all information required by the Administrator to make a proper allocation of Employer contributions for each Plan Year. Within a reasonable period of time after the date of receipt by the Administrator of such information, the Administrator shall allocate contributions as follows:

Pre-Tax Contributions, Non-Elective Contributions, and Employer Matching Contributions and ESOP Contributions made subsequent to such Valuation Date.

Subsequent Options. A Non-Employee Director who # has been serving as a Non-Employee Director on the Board for at least six months as of the date of any annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders and # will continue to serve as a Non-Employee Director immediately following such meeting, shall be automatically granted a Subsequent Option on the date of such annual meeting. For the avoidance of doubt, a Non-Employee Director elected for the first time to the Board at an annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders shall only receive the Initial Option in connection with such election, and shall not receive a Subsequent Option on the date of such meeting as well.

Subsequent Options. Each Subsequent Option shall vest and become exercisable on the earlier of the first anniversary of the date of grant or the day immediately prior to the date of the next annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders occurring after the date of grant, in either case, subject to the Non-Employee Director continuing in service as a Non-Employee Director through such vesting date.

Matching Contributions. An Eligible Employee will be eligible for a Matching Contribution under this Plan, which shall be credited to an Eligible Employee’s Post-2004 Account, based on his or her Salary Deferrals under this Plan.

Participant Contributions. A Participant shall at all times be 100% vested in his or her Deferral Account.

Annual Contributions. In connection with each election to defer Annual Contributions, a Participant may elect to receive an In-Service Distribution from the Plan with respect to all or a portion of such Annual Deferral Amounts credited for such Plan Year. The In-Service Distribution shall be a lump sum payment in an amount that is equal to the portion of the Annual Deferral Amounts that the Participant elected to have distributed as an In-Service Distribution, plus amounts credited or debited in the manner provided in [Section 5.1] on that amount, calculated as of the close of business on or around the date on which the In-Service Distribution becomes payable, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.

Except to the extent required under the Member’s articles of incorporation or as may be necessary for the Company to comply with its obligations under the Transaction Documents (defined below), the Member shall not be obligated to make capital contributions to the Company and the Units shall be nonassessable.
