In addition, while it is the expectation of the Company that this Plan and the payment of contributions will be continued indefinitely, continuance of the Plan is not assumed as a contractual obligation of the Company.

8.2    Binding Agreement. This Plan document shall be binding upon the heirs, administrators, executors, successors and assigns of each party.

EXHIBIT A
PREMIUM PAYMENT METHODOLOGY
The following assumptions and methodology shall be used for purposes of establishing the annual premium (non-smoker and smoker) which shall be contributed by the Company in accordance with Section 4.3:
Insurance Carrier:
New York Life Insurance and Annuity Corporation
Product:
Corporate Sponsored Universal Life
Current Crediting Rate:
Defined by the carrier annually
Non-Smoker Premium Methodology:
On or before each policy-anniversary the Administrator-will-solve for an annual premium payment, assuming non-smoker insurance charges, to be paid through the participant’s age 65 that will maintain the level death benefit as defined in Schedule 1 and will allow the policy’s cash value to be 25% of the initial face amount at the participant’s age 95.
Smoker Premium Methodology:
On or before each policy anniversary the Administrator will solve for an annual premium payment, assuming non-smoker insurance charges, to be paid through the participant’s age 65 that will maintain the level death benefit as defined in Schedule 1 and will allow the policy’s cash value to be 25% of the initial face amount at the participant’s age 95. However, smoker insurance charges will be deducted by the carrier from the policy cash value. The use of smoker insurance charges will cause the policy to lapse prior to age 95, unless additional premium payments are made. It will be the participant’s responsibility to contribute further premium, if so desired, to achieve the cash value target described above. Smokers who have quit smoking can request a change to non-smoker rates, pending a urine test.
The Current Crediting Rate and Insurance Charges are not guaranteed and will fluctuate over time, therefore both methodologies described above cannot guarantee the policy will perform as illustrated.
