The KEDC Plan allows eligible employees to elect to defer up to 15% of base pay and up to 15% of annual performance
bonus each year. Eligible employees generally are those employees who have completed one year of service with the Company, have
annual base pay of at least $300,000 and are otherwise designated as eligible by the Company's employee benefits committee;
provided, however, that effective January 1, 2008, only those persons who were eligible for the KEDC as of January 1, 2007 are
permitted to continue participating in the KEDC. No new participants will be added. The Company also credits a matching
contribution each pay period equal to (A) the sum of (i) 100% of the sum of the employee's KEDC Plan deferrals and the maximum
RSP deferral that the employee could have made under such plan for such pay period, to the extent that such sum does not exceed 2%
of the employee's compensation for such pay period, and (ii) 25% of the sum of the employee's KEDC Plan deferrals and the
maximum RSP, as applicable, deferral that the employee could have made under such plan for such pay period, to the extent that such
sum does not exceed the next 4% of the employee's compensation for such pay period, minus (B) the maximum possible match the
employee could have received under the RSP, as applicable, for such pay period. Such amounts are credited to a bookkeeping account
for the employee and are fully vested with respect to matching contributions made for calendar years prior to 2008. Amounts
attributable to matching contributions, plus interest thereon, for calendar years on and after 2008 are subject to forfeiture in the event
the employee is terminated for cause. Accounts are credited monthly with interest at an annual rate equal to the prime interest rate
published in The Wall Street Journal on the last business day of the preceding calendar quarter. Amounts credited to an employee's
account become payable to the employee upon separation from service, death, unforeseeable emergency, or change of control of the
Company. In the event of separation of service, payment is made in a lump sum in the calendar quarter following the calendar quarter
in which the separation occurs although if the employee is eligible for retirement upon such separation, payment may be deferred until
the following year or the nine subsequent years, and may be made in a lump
