CURTISS-WRIGHT CORPORATION RETIREMENT PLAN

AS AMENDED AND RESTATED EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1, 2019,

except as otherwise specified

PREAMBLE

The Curtiss-Wright Contributory Retirement Plan (the “Prior Plan”), a defined benefit pension plan, was established effective May 1, 1953 for eligible non-union Employees of the Curtiss-Wright Corporation (the “Company"). The benefits under the Prior Plan were also available to the Company's union employees whose collective bargaining units negotiated for these benefits.

Effective December 31, 1991, the Curtiss-Wright Pension Plan was merged into the Prior Plan. The Prior Plan was in full force and operation through August 31, 1994.

Effective September 1, 1994, the Prior Plan was renamed the Curtiss-Wright Corporation Retirement Plan (the “Plan") and was amended and restated in its entirety (the “September 1, 1994 Restatement”). Also effective September 1, 1994, the Metal Improvement Company, Inc. Retirement Income Plan and the Curtiss-Wright Flight Systems/Shelby, Inc. Contributory Retirement Plan were merged into the Plan. The September 1, 1994 Restatement included special effective dates for certain provisions thereof, in accordance with the requirements of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1986, the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1987, the Technical and Miscellaneous Revenue Act of 1988, the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1989, the Unemployment Compensation Amendments of 1992, the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 and regulations and rulings thereunder. Subsequent to the September 1, 1994 Restatement, the Plan was amended from time to time.

Effective January 1, 2001, the Plan was amended and restated in its entirety (the “January 1, 2001 Restatement"), and included special effective dates for certain provisions thereof, in accordance with the requirements of the Uruguay Round Agreements Act, the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act of 1994, the Small Business Job Protection Act of 1996, the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997, the Internal Revenue Service Restructuring and Reform Act of 1998, the Community Renewal Tax Relief Act of 2000, or the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001 and regulations and rulings thereunder. Subsequent to the January 1, 2001 Restatement, the Plan has been amended from time to time.

Effective January 1, 2007 the Curtiss Wright Electro-Mechanical Division Pension Plan was merged into the Plan, and is now designated as the EMD Component of the Plan.

The Plan was most recently amended and restated in its entirety as of January 1, 2015 ("the January 1, 2015 Restatement"), which restatement also reflected provisions that became effective on dates later than the initial effective date thereof. Subsequent to the January 1, 2015 Restatement, the Plan has been amended to maintain compliance with applicable law and regulations and for other purposes. This Amendment and Restatement of the Plan as of January 1, 2019 incorporates amendments heretofore made to the Plan and makes additional amendments to the Plan. The amendments hereby made to the January 1, 2015 Restatement, as heretofore amended, are effective as of January 1, 2019, except as otherwise specified herein, provided, however, that the effective date of any provision or provisions of the Plan shall, to the extent required by specific provisions of the Plan, be any such earlier or other effective date required by the Plan.

Until the applicable effective dates of the provisions of the Plan as hereby amended and restated, the January 1, 2015 Restatement shall continue in full force and effect and its

provisions shall be amended and restated as of the applicable effective dates described herein, without any termination or gap or lapse in time or effect.

The amount of benefits, forms of benefit, benefits payable upon a Participant's death, and commencement of benefits for Participants who are non-union employees are set forth in Articles 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8. The amount of benefits, benefits payable upon death, and commencement of benefits for Participants who are union employees are set forth in Article 9.

Effective as of December 31, 2014, the Plan was merged with and into the Williams Controls, Inc. Retirement Income Plan, which immediately thereafter was renamed the Curtiss-Wright Corporation Retirement Plan (the “Merged Plan”). Subsequent to such merger, the rights and benefits of any Employee or Participant previously governed by the terms of this Plan represented by the provisions of this document continue to be governed by the terms of this document, which comprises a component part of the plan formerly known as the Williams Controls, Inc. Retirement Income Plan. The rights and benefits of other participants in the Merged Plan are governed by one of three separate instruments, which comprise other component parts of the plan formerly known as the Williams Controls, Inc. Retirement Income Plan. Each of such instruments and the Plan represented by the provisions of this document together constitute the Merged Plan document.

ARTICLE 1: DEFINITIONS

Wherever used herein, the following terms shall have the following meanings unless the context otherwise requires:

1.01 "Actuarial Equivalent" means the value determined on the basis of applicable factors set forth below, or as otherwise specifically set forth in the Plan.

(a) All lump sums other than those attributable to the Cash Balance Account that are paid to participants after age fifty-five (55), regardless of whether the participant terminated prior to age fifty-five (55), will use an immediate annuity factor times the early retirement factor at that age. All lump sums other than those attributable to the Cash Balance Account paid before age fifty-five (55) will use a deferred annuity factor deferred to age sixty-five (65). For calculating the Cash Balance Account, the Escalating Annuity Benefit is adjusted to payment age as described in Articles 4.07(b) and (c), multiplied by the complete expectation of life of the Participant, at the date of determination, based on the IRS Mortality Table.

(b) For a non-escalating annuity that commences prior to Early Retirement Date, the 1983 GAM table for Males and Females with an eighty percent (80%) weighting on the male table's q and a twenty percent (20%) weighting on the female table's q. The interest rate is six percent (6%). The early retirement reduction factor will be based on benefit payments that would have commenced at age sixty-five (65), reduced without subsidy to an age below fifty-five (55).

(c) For calculating Joint & Survivor reduction factors which are applied to a Life Annuity benefit, the applicable mortality table and interest rate shall be the mortality table derived by using a fixed blend of fifty percent (50%) of the male mortality rates and fifty percent (50%) of the female mortality rates from the 1983 Group Annuity Mortality Table with ages set forward two (2) years for participants and ages set back one (1) year for beneficiaries and an interest rate of seven percent (7%).

(d) For calculating lump sum factors for benefits other than escalating benefits, converting the Cash Balance Account into an immediate level annuity, deriving the employee annuity associated with employee contributions with interest at a specified date, the applicable mortality table and interest rate shall be the IRS Mortality Table and the IRS Interest Rate.

(e) All lump sums that are paid to participants will use an immediate annuity factor times the early retirement factor at that age. The early retirement factor for benefits commencing prior to age 55 for the non-escalating annuity benefit is actuarially reduced from age 65 using the IRS Interest Rate and the IRS Mortality Table. For the escalating annuity benefit, early retirement factors for all ages are actuarially reduced, as described in Article 4.07(b) and (c).

(f) For converting an amount payable as an escalating annuity to a lump sum, the amount of the annuity shall be multiplied by the complete expectation of life of the Participant, at the date of determination, based on the IRS Mortality Table. For converting an amount payable as an escalating annuity to any other form of benefit, the amount shall first be converted to a lump sum as above, the lump sum shall be converted to an immediate single life annuity using whatever factors are then otherwise used in the Plan to convert annuities to lump sums, and the single life annuity will be converted to any other form of annuity using whatever factors are otherwise used in the Plan to convert single life annuities to other forms of annuities.

(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in calculating the amount of a lump sum payment with an Annuity Starting Date on or after January 1, 2008, in no event shall the lump sum payment be less than the lump sum amount determined on the basis of the IRS Interest Rate and the IRS Mortality Table in accordance with the terms of the Plan as in effect on December 31, 2007.

1.02 "Administrative Committee" shall mean the person(s) appointed by the Company to act on behalf of the Company as the sponsor and “named fiduciary” (within the meaning of Section 402(a)(2) of ERISA), as appropriate, with respect to Plan administrative matters. When performing any activity or exercising any authority under the provisions of the Plan, the Administrative Committee shall be deemed to act solely on behalf of the Company, and not in an individual capacity.

1.03 “Affiliated Company” means any company not participating in the Plan which is a member of a controlled group of corporations, as defined in Section 414(b) of the Code, which also includes as a member the Company; any trade or business under common control, as defined in Section 414(c) of the Code, with the Company; any organization, whether or not incorporated, which is a member of an affiliated service group, as defined in Section 414(m) of the Code, which includes the Company; and any other entity required to be aggregated with the Company pursuant to regulations under Section 414(o) of the Code. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, for purposes of Article 6.10 and Article 1.25, the definitions in Sections 414(b) and (c) of the Code shall be modified as provided in Section 415(h) of the Code.

1.04 "Age" means the age attained by a Participant, expressed in years and months.

1.05 "Annuity Starting Date" means the first day of the period for which an amount is payable as an annuity or, if a benefit is not payable in the form of an annuity, the first day on which all events have occurred which entitle the Participant to such benefit. The Annuity Starting Date for a Participant receiving payments under the provisions of Article 9.02(c) shall be his Normal Retirement Date.

1.06 "Average Compensation" means the average of a Participant's Compensation over the sixty (60) consecutive months within the last one hundred twenty (120) months which produces the highest average. If the Participant has less than sixty (60) months of Service, Compensation is averaged over the Participant's months of Service from the date of his employment to his date of termination of employment. Average Compensation shall be determined in accordance with such uniform rules uniformly applicable to all employees similarly situated as shall be prescribed by the Administrative Committee.

With respect to any Participant who is rehired by the Company after January 31, 2010, the Average Compensation of such Participant for purposes of calculating his or her Normal Retirement Benefit in accordance with Article 6.01 shall be frozen as of his or her previous termination of employment date. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, a rehired Participant’s Compensation earned after rehire after January 31, 2010 will be taken into considerations when calculated his or her pay based credits in accordance with Article 4.02.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article 1.06, for purposes of Article 6.01(b) a Participant’s Average Compensation shall not include any amount paid on or after January 1, 2029.

1.07 "Beneficiary" means the individual or entity designated as such by a Participant pursuant to the Plan or otherwise entitled to receive any payment pursuant to the Plan upon the death of the Participant. If with respect to any payment no individual or entity has been designated by a Participant, or no designated Beneficiary survives the

Participant, the Participant's Beneficiary shall be (a) the Participant's surviving Spouse, if living at the time of such payment; or in default thereof (b) the Participant's estate.

1.08 "Board of Directors" means the Board of Directors of the Company.

1.09 “Casual Employee” means an Employee who, under the Company’s generally applicable payroll and human resources practices,

(a) is hired for an assignment of a limited nature and duration, which shall not exceed 90 days; and

(b) is classified as being in inactive status upon the completion of an assignment, subject to recall for another assignment of limited nature and duration.

1.10 "Code" means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time, and the corresponding provisions of any subsequently enacted Federal tax laws.

1.11 "Company" means Curtiss-Wright Corporation, including any affiliate or subsidiary of the Company which shall adopt this Plan for its employees, with the approval of the Company, and any other corporation, partnership, business association or proprietorship which shall have assumed in writing the obligations of the Plan and Trust, with the approval of the Company, including any successor as a result of a statutory merger, purchase of assets or any other form of reorganization of the business of the Company.

1.12 "Compensation" means, except as defined in Article 6.12(b), all of each Participant's regular or base salary or wages, including overtime pay, commissions and payments under the Company's incentive compensation plans or bonus plans; provided, however, that, effective for the period beginning on January 1, 2016, and ending on December 31, 2017, only 70% of the annual award under the Company’s Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan shall be so included (30% of such annual award in the case of a Participant for whom the cash portion of the most recent annual award equals that percentage).

Compensation shall include only that Compensation which is actually paid to the Participant during the applicable period, provided, however, payments under the Company's cash based incentive compensation plans and for accrued vacation pay shall be taken into account in the periods to which such payments relate and payments under the Company’s bonus plans for Participants who have terminated Service prior to receipt of such payments shall be taken into account only in the last calendar month of the period to which such payments relate provided that the Participant does not terminate Service prior to the last business day of such calendar month. Except as provided elsewhere in this Plan, the applicable period shall be the Plan Year. Effective January 1, 2009, Compensation shall also include “differential wage payments” pursuant to the Heroes Earnings Assistance and Relief Tax Act of 2008.

Compensation shall also include any amount which is contributed by the Company pursuant to a salary reduction agreement and which is not includable in the gross income of the Employee under a "qualified cash or deferred arrangement," as defined in Section 401(k) of the Code, or under a "cafeteria plan," as defined in Section 125 of the Code, or under a qualified transportation fringe as defined in Section 132(f) of the Code. Compensation shall also include any amount that would have been payable to the Employee but for a deferral election made by the Employee under the Curtiss-Wright Corporation Executive Deferred Compensation Plan, which amount shall be deemed to have been paid at the time at which it would have been paid in the absence of such election, provided, however, that no amount shall be included in an Employee’s Compensation pursuant to this sentence if the inclusion of such amount would cause the Plan to fail to comply with any nondiscrimination provision of the Code.

For Plan Years beginning on or after January 1, 2002, the annual compensation of each Participant taken into account under the Plan shall not exceed $200,000, as adjusted for cost-of-living increases in accordance with Section 401(a)(17)(B) of the Code. In determining benefit accruals in Plan Years beginning on or after January 1, 2002, the annual compensation limit described in this paragraph shall be taken into account, for determination periods beginning before January 1, 2002.

For Plan Years beginning on or after January 1, 1994 and prior to January 1, 2002, the annual Compensation of each Employee taken into account under the Plan shall not exceed the OBRA '93 annual compensation limit. The OBRA '93 annual compensation limit is $150,000, as adjusted by the Commissioner for increases in the cost of living in accordance with Section 401(a)(17)(B) of the Code. The cost-of-living adjustment in effect for a calendar year applies to any period, not exceeding twelve (12) months, over which compensation is determined (determination period) beginning in such calendar year.

For Plan Years beginning on or after January 1, 1994 and prior to January 1, 2002, (i) any reference in this Plan to the limitation under Section 401(a)(17) of the Code shall mean the OBRA '93 annual compensation limit set forth in this provision; and (ii) if Compensation for any Plan Year beginning before January 1, 1994 is taken into account in determining an Employee's contributions or benefits for the current year, the compensation for such prior year is subject to the applicable annual compensation limit in effect for that prior year.

Effective on and after January 1, 1989 and before January 1, 1994, Compensation taken into account for any purpose under the Plan, including the determination of Average Compensation, shall not exceed $200,000 per year. As of January 1 of each calendar year on and after January 1, 1990 and before January 1, 1994, the applicable limitation as determined by the Commissioner of Internal Revenue for that calendar year shall become effective as the limitation on Compensation to be taken into account under the Plan for such calendar year and all prior calendar years, in lieu of the $200,000 limitation set forth above, or as previously adjusted.

Special Provisions applicable under Prior Plan:

(a) Notwithstanding any provision in this Plan to the contrary, however, subject to any limitations imposed under Section 401(a)(17) of the Code, effective for periods prior to September 1, 1994, Compensation shall mean:

(i) for each calendar month prior to July 1, 1970, 1/12th of his basic salary (on an annual basis) in effect at the beginning of each Plan Year; and

(ii) for each calendar month after June 30, 1970, 1/12th of the sum of his basic salary (on an annual basis) in effect at the beginning of each Plan Year, plus any cash payments he received in the prior Plan Year under the Company's Modified Incentive Compensation Plan;

and shall remain constant throughout each particular Plan Year (except for the effect on the last half of the 1970 Plan Year of cash payments received in 1969 under the Company's Modified Incentive Compensation Plan) regardless of increases or decreases in actual salary. In the case of an Employee not eligible to participate under the Plan at the beginning of a Plan Year, his Compensation for the remaining months of that Plan Year shall be 1/12th of his basic salary (on an annual basis) in effect on his eligibility date.

(b) For purposes only of subparagraphs 3(c)(i)(B) of Article III of the Prior Plan, Compensation means:

(i) prior to July 1, 1970, the basic salary or basic wages actually paid to the Employee in the particular Plan Year;

(ii) after June 30, 1970, the basic salary or basic wages plus cash payments under the Company's Modified Incentive Compensation Plan actually paid to the Employee in the particular Plan Year; and

(iii) after July 1, 1982, basic salary, basic wages or compensation received under either the Company's Modified Incentive Compensation Plan or the Metal Improvement Company bonus plan shall not be considered under this Plan as reduced on account of any deferral or contribution which is made pursuant to the Curtiss-Wright Corporation Deferred Compensation Plan (a tax qualified defined contribution plan, subsequently renamed the Curtiss-Wright Corporation Savings and Investment Plan, herein, "the Savings Plan"). Basic salary, basic wages or Compensation received under either the Company's Modified Incentive Compensation Plan or the Metal Improvement Company bonus plan shall be calculated as if no deferral or contributions were made to the Savings Plan.

"Basic salary or basic wages" of an Employee means his basic salary or basic wages only, and shall in no case include any amounts paid to him as overtime, bonuses, deferred compensation or additional compensation of any sort.

1.13 “Covered Compensation” means, for any Participant, the average of the taxable wage bases in effect under Section 230 of the Social Security Act for each year in the 35-year period ending with the year in which the Participant attains his Social Security Retirement Age. No increase in Covered Compensation shall decrease a Participant’s Accrued Benefit under the Plan. In determining a Participant’s Covered Compensation for any Plan Year, the taxable wage base for the current Plan Year and any subsequent Plan Year shall be assumed to be the same as the taxable wage base in effect as of the beginning of the Plan Year for which the determination is made. The Covered Compensation of a Participant for any Plan Year beginning after December 31, 2028 shall be determined in accordance with the tables published in the Revenue Ruling issued by the Internal Revenue Service that provides such tables for the 2028 Plan Year.

1.14 "Credited Service" means completed years and calendar months of employment and shall include the following:

(a) All periods of employment of an Employee with the Company, and periods of employment with an Affiliated Company while such Affiliated Company is a participating employer in the Plan.

(b) A period of Leave of Absence recognized under Article 2.03.

(c) For periods on or after May 1, 1966 and before December 31, 1991, Credited Service of an Employee eligible to participate in this Plan shall include Service which would be creditable under the Curtiss-Wright Pension Plan for any periods of his employment not included as Credited Service under paragraphs (a) and (b) above.

(d) For a continuous period up to two years while an Employee is in receipt of Disability Payments as provided in Article 2.03(b).

Notwithstanding any provision in this Plan to the contrary, for purposes of determining Credited Service, an Employee shall be credited with a calendar month of Service for a month in which such Participant completes one (1) Hour of Service. This provision shall apply only in the month of hire and the month of separation of Service.

Special Provisions applicable under Prior Plan

For purposes of determining Credited Service for the Prior Plan, the following provisions shall apply:

(i) Only Employees who were participants under the terms of the Prior Plan shall be entitled to Credited Service.

(ii) Credited Service shall mean completed years and calendar months of employment, including periods of employment with the Company or an Affiliated Company following his most recent date of hire preceding December 31, 1991.

Special Provisions applicable to Employees of Acquired Entities

The Credited Service of Employees who were formerly employed by entities that were acquired by the Company shall be subject to the special rules set forth in Schedule J.

1.15 “Disability Payments” means payments received under the Company’s long-term or short-term disability plans, payments received under the workers’ compensation law (excluding statutory payments for loss of any physical or bodily member such as a leg, arm or finger), or solely with respect to an Employee who is not covered by the Company’s long-term disability plan, payments of a Social Security disability pension received on account of a disability incurred while an Employee.

1.16 "Early Retirement Date" means the date on which a Participant has attained at least age fifty-five (55) and completed at least five (5) Years of Credited Service, or three (3) Years of Credited Service, effective January 1, 2008.

A Participant who terminates employment after satisfying the service requirement for Early Retirement and who thereafter reaches the age requirement contained herein shall be entitled to receive his benefits pursuant to Article 6.03 of the Plan.

1.17 "Effective Date" The original effective date of the Prior Plan was May 1, 1953. The effective date of this amendment and restatement of the Plan is January 1, 2019, except as otherwise provided herein, or as required by applicable law.

1.18 "Employee" means any person employed by the Company who receives compensation other than a pension, severance pay, retainer, or fee under contract but excluding:

The same Hours of Service will not be credited both under paragraph (a) or paragraph (b), as the case may be, and under this paragraph (c).

If he shall have returned to the service of the Company after having applied to return

while his reemployment rights were protected by law, the Participant shall be deemed to have earned Compensation during the period of absence at the rate he would have received had he remained employed as an Employee for that period or, if such rate is not reasonably certain, on the basis of the Participant’s rate of compensation during the 12-month period immediately preceding such period of absence (or if shorter, the period of employment immediately preceding such period).

The amount of any contribution which may be returned shall be reduced to reflect its proportionate share of any net investment loss in the Trust Fund. In the event paragraph (c) applies, the returned contribution may include any net investment earnings or gains in the Trust Fund.

ARTICLE 4: CASH BALANCE ACCOUNT

4.01 Escalating Annuity Benefit and Cash Balance Account.

Effective September 1, 1994, an Escalating Annuity Benefit shall be established and maintained for each Participant to which credits shall be made pursuant to the provisions of this Article 4. The amount of Escalating Annuity Benefit credited to any Participant shall be in addition to any other benefits credited under this Plan. The lump sum value of a Participant's Escalating Annuity Benefit, determined in accordance with Article 1.01, shall be referred to as his Cash Balance Account.

The normal form of retirement benefit for the Escalating Annuity Benefit is a life annuity payable monthly, commencing at Normal Retirement Date, under which the monthly benefit is automatically increased at the beginning of each calendar year after benefit commencement. The percentage of increase, or escalator, applicable to a calendar year is (i) for increases prior to 1997, the applicable rate from Article 4.03(a), and (ii) for increases after 1996, the 30-year Treasury Bond rate for December of the prior year.

For each Plan Year beginning on or before January 1, 2013 during which an Escalating Annuity Benefit is in effect, there shall be credited to the Cash Balance Account of each Participant three percent (3%) of the Participant's Compensation earned during that Plan Year, such amount being credited as of the first day of the Plan Year. In no event shall any amount be credited to the Cash Balance Account of a Participant for any Plan Year beginning on or after January 1, 2014.

4.03 Cost of Living Adjustment.

For each Participant who has not commenced to receive his Escalating Annuity Benefit, such benefit shall be increased in the manner described in paragraph (b) below by a Cost of Living Adjustment determined in accordance with paragraph (a) below, except that for active Participants beyond Normal Retirement Age, (a) and (b) below will not apply and (c) below will apply:

(a) The Cost of Living Adjustments shall be as follows:

(i) 6.880% for calendar year 1994; however, for the period from September 1, 1994 to December 31, 1994, the equivalent rate of 2.24266% is credited.

(ii) 8.688% for calendar year 1995.

(iii) 6.230% for calendar year 1996.

(iv) 6.550% for calendar year 1997.

(b) The Participant's Escalating Annuity Benefit shall be increased at the end of each Plan Year described in (a) above by an amount equal to the Cost of Living Adjustment for such year multiplied by the Participant's Escalating Annuity Benefit on the first day of such year inclusive of the Pay Based Credits allocated to such year under 4.02 above.

The amount of a Participant's Escalating Annuity Benefit at any date shall be the amount of the Benefit on the first day of the month containing such date. The value of a Participant's Escalating Annuity Benefit on the first day of a month shall be determined by increasing the value of the Benefit as of the first day of the Plan Year containing such month by any Pay Based Credits earned in such year and then by multiplying the sum by a Cost of Living Factor based on (a) above and the number of months from the beginning of the year to the first day of the month of determination.

(c) Participants who remain active employees beyond Normal Retirement Age will not receive Cost of Living Adjustments in accordance with (a) and (b) above, but will instead have their Escalating Annuity Benefits increased at the end of each Plan Year by the 30-year Treasury Bond rate for December of the prior year. If the amount of an Escalating Annuity Benefit is to be determined as of a date other than the beginning or end of a Plan Year, the rules of the second paragraph of (b) above shall be applied but using the 30-year Treasury Bond rate for December of the prior year in lieu of the rates set forth in (a) above. Such increase will be in addition to any Pay Based Credits earned under Article 4.02 above.

4.04 Vesting.

The interest of a Participant in his Escalating Annuity Benefit shall be vested in accordance with Article 5 of this Plan.

4.05 Distribution of Escalating Annuity Benefit and Cash Balance Account.

(a) A Participant shall be entitled to commence distribution of his Escalating Annuity Benefit upon (i) retirement on his Normal Retirement Date or Early Retirement Date, as the case may be, or (ii) the date he separates from Service with the Company with a vested benefit.

(b) A Participant's Escalating Annuity Benefit shall be distributable pursuant to a form of payment permissible under Article 7 as elected by the Participant.

4.06 Death Benefit.

(a) If a Participant who has an Escalating Annuity Benefit dies before commencement of the payment of such Benefit, the Participant's Beneficiary shall receive an annuity that is the Actuarial Equivalent of the Escalating Annuity Benefit, payable for the life of the Beneficiary.

(b) Normal Retirement Benefit.

(i) A Participant who retires on his Normal Retirement Date shall be entitled to his Normal Retirement Benefit calculated as of the date he retires. The Normal Retirement Benefit of a Participant shall be an annual annuity benefit, payable in monthly installments, equal to the sum of the following:

(A) a Past Service Benefit, if he (i) became an active Participant as of May 1, 1953, (ii) remained a continuous Participant, whether active or suspended, during the period of his employment on and after May 1, 1953, and made contributions while an active Participant during such period; plus

(B) a Future Service Benefit, if he made contributions while an active Participant; plus

(D) a Pension Equivalent Benefit; and minus

(E) the value of contributions that the Participant would have made, from September 1, 1994 to the Participant's retirement date, assuming, for this purpose that the provisions of the Prior Plan remained in effect for such period and the Participant had elected to make contributions in accordance with such provisions.

(ii) The amounts taken into account for purposes of subparagraph (b)(i) shall be determined as follows:

(A) The Past Service Benefit of a Participant eligible therefor shall be equal to three-quarters of one percent (3/4%) of his "annual earnings" as of May 1, 1953, multiplied by the number of his Years of Credited Service prior to May 1, 1953.

(B) The Future Service Benefit of a Participant eligible therefor shall be one percent (1%) of his annual earnings for each year of active participation during which he made contributions under the Prior Plan.

(C) The "Supplemental Benefit" of a Participant eligible therefor shall be the benefit calculated under either (I) or (II) below, whichever shall be applicable:

(I) If the Participant shall have been a continuous Participant, whether active or suspended, for the period from his eligibility date to his Normal Retirement Date and made contributions at all times while an active Participant under the Prior Plan during such period, two percent (2%) of his "final average earnings" in excess of $3,600 as determined below, multiplied by the sum of his years of Credited Service (not in excess of fifteen (15) years). For purposes

of the preceding sentence, "final average annual earnings in excess of $3,600" means:

(1) for an Employee with five (5) or more years of active participation, the average of the excess of his annual earnings over $3,600 for the five (5) consecutive years of his active participation during his final years of active participation, but not in excess of ten (10), which produce the highest such average, or

(2) for an Employee with less than five (5) years of active participation, the average of his annual earnings in excess of $3,600 actually paid to him for the period of his service, not in excess of five (5) years, ending with his last year of active participation.

(II) If the Participant shall not have been a continuous Participant, whether active or suspended, for the period from his eligibility date to his Normal Retirement Date, or did not make contributions at all times while an active Participant under the Prior Plan during such period, an amount calculated under (I) above, as if the Participant had, in fact, been a continuous Participant for such period and made contributions at all times under the Prior Plan, while an active Participant therein, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the sum of his Years of Credited Service (not limited to fifteen (15) years) on the basis of which the Participant shall actually accrue a Past and/or Future Service Benefit under the Plan, and the denominator of which shall be the sum of his Years of Service, whether or not regarded as Credited Service for purposes of the Plan and not limited to fifteen (15) years, on the basis of which the Participant would have been entitled to accrue a Past and/or Future Service Benefit under the Plan if he had, in fact, been a continuous Participant for such period and made contributions while an active Participant therein.

(D) The "Pension Equivalent Benefit" of a Participant eligible therefor shall be the monthly pension benefit in accordance with Schedule B; provided, however, that the portion, if any, of such Pension Equivalent Benefit which shall have been based upon Years of Credited Service for which the Participant also is entitled to Past and/or Future Service Benefits under this Article 6.11 shall be reduced by the amount of such Past and/or Future Service Benefits.

In the event an inactive Participant to whom this Article 6.11 is applicable shall die before retirement, a death benefit shall be payable to his beneficiary equal to the aggregate of his contributions, plus interest, and any applicable annuity.

(d) Severance of Employment Benefit.

(i) After Vesting Date.

In the calculation of the Supplemental Benefit of a Participant who severs his employment under this paragraph (d)(i), the denominator of the fraction referred to in subparagraph (b)(ii)(C)(II) shall include Years of Service the Participant would have had at his Normal Retirement Date, if he had remained in the employ of the Company until such date. Such Participant may elect, by filing a written request therefor with the Administrative Committee on such form and on such terms and conditions as the Administrative Committee may prescribe, to receive an annual annuity benefit commencing as of the first of any month following his fifty-fifth (55th) birthday, in which event such annual annuity benefit shall be the actuarial equivalent benefit calculated under the preceding sentences of this subparagraph (d)(i), based upon the early retirement reduction factors set forth Schedule C. The first payment of a benefit under this subparagraph (d)(i) will commence the first of the month next following receipt by the Administrative Committee of all completed necessary forms and documentation. On or after January 1, 1976, one (1) Year of Service toward eligibility for a vested benefit in accordance with this paragraph will be credited for any Participant who works at least one thousand (1,000) hours in any calendar year.

In lieu of the foregoing annuity benefits, the Participant may elect, by filing a written request therefor with the Administrative Committee on such form and on such terms and conditions as the Administrative Committee may prescribe, at any time after the date of his severance of employment and prior to the commencement of said annuity benefit, to receive in a lump sum cash payment the aggregate of his contributions, plus interest, and a deferred pension benefit equal to the benefit hereto paid for solely through Company Contributions. In the event that the Participant makes the election described in the foregoing sentence and further elects to commence receipt of such benefit prior to his Normal Retirement Date, such benefit will be reduced in accordance with the factors set forth in Schedule D.

(ii) Prior to Vesting Date.

If the employment of a Participant who has made contributions while an active Participant shall be severed prior to satisfying the applicable age and service conditions prescribed in paragraph (d)(i) above, he shall be entitled, without request therefor, to a Severance of Employment Benefit equal to the aggregate of his contributions plus interest.

(e) Optional Survivor Benefit.

The Participant's fifty-five percent (55%) optional survivor benefit and/or contingent annuitant benefit shall be reduced by a percentage as set forth below for each full month or fraction thereof in effect for such Participant.

The appropriate percentages are:


For Coverage While The Participant’s Age Is			Monthly Percentage
under 35			0.01%

(i) A benefit with a survivor benefit adjustment, under which his surviving Spouse will receive fifty-five percent (55%) of such annuity benefit after the death of the Participant For a Participant receiving a benefit with a survivor benefit adjustment, the reduced amount of his monthly benefit shall be equal to an amount determined by multiplying the monthly benefit otherwise payable to the Participant by ninety percent (90%) if the Participant's age and his designated Spouse's age are the same; or, if such ages are not the same, such percentage shall be increased by one-half of one percent (1/2%), up to a maximum of one hundred percent (100%) for each year that the designated Spouse's age exceeds the Participant's age and shall be decreased by one-half of one percent (1/2%) for each year that the designated Spouse's age is less than the Participant's age.

(ii) A "Contingent Annuity Option" of seventy-five percent (75%) or one hundred percent (100%) with respect to the total of the Supplemental Benefit amount included within his annuity benefit, under which an annuity, on such terms as the Administrative Committee may prescribe, shall be payable for the Participant's life and continue after his death, in the same or lesser amount, to and for the life of a selected contingent annuitant; provided, however, that if such selected contingent annuitant is other than the Participant's Spouse or physically or mentally disabled child, the amount payable under the option shall be adjusted, if necessary, so that the reduction in the Supplemental Benefit otherwise payable to the Participant on account of the option does not exceed forty percent (40%). Such annuity shall be the actuarial equivalent of the aforesaid Supplemental Benefit amount, determined in accordance with Schedule E. Election of a seventy-five (75%) percent or one hundred percent (100%) option shall ordinarily be made at least one year prior to the commencement date of the Participant's annuity benefit which includes a Supplemental Benefit; otherwise, the Administrative Committee may require evidence satisfactory to it of the Participant's good health.

Additionally, a Participant's waiver of the Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity shall not be effective unless the election designates a form of benefit payment which may not be changed without spousal consent (or the Spouse expressly permits designations by the Participant without any further spousal consent).

(ii) If it is established to the satisfaction of the Administrative Committee that the required consent may not be obtained because there is no Spouse, because the Spouse cannot be located, or because of such other circumstances as provided in Treasury Regulations under the applicable provisions of the Code, a waiver will be deemed a qualified election.

(iii) The Participant elects an annuity form under paragraph (b)(ii) below with his Spouse as Beneficiary.

Any consent by a Spouse (or establishment that the consent of a Spouse may not be obtained) shall be effective only with respect to such Spouse. At any time during the election period described in Article 7.02(c), a Participant may, without the consent of the Participant's Spouse, revoke an election to have payment of the retirement benefit made in a form other than a Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity.

(b) In the event an election is validly made and in effect pursuant to paragraph (a) of the Plan not to receive payment of benefits in the normal form provided in Article 7.01, then the benefit payable to a Participant shall be the Actuarial Equivalent of the retirement benefit otherwise payable to the Participant in the form of a Life Annuity. A Participant may, in the form and manner prescribed by the Administrative Committee, elect any one of the following optional forms of payment:

(i) a Life Annuity payable monthly to the Participant;

(ii) an immediate joint and survivor annuity commencing on or after the Participant's Early Retirement Date, or date of termination of employment, if later, that provides a reduced monthly benefit payable to the participant for life and to a surviving named contingent annuitant for the lifetime of the contingent annuitant in an amount equal to 50 percent, 75 percent, or 100 percent (as elected by the Participant) of the amount payable during the Participant’s lifetime;

(iii)a 20-year certain and life annuity, as described in paragraph (d);

(iv)a joint and survivor annuity with a 20-year certain and life guarantee, as described in paragraph (e);

(v) a lump sum payment; provided the amount of the lump sum payment at the Annuity Starting Date exceeds $5,000; or

(vi) one-half (1/2) as a lump sum payment and one-half (1/2) as a Life Annuity or a joint and survivor annuity available under (ii).

A Participant may make separate elections of an optional form of benefit with respect to the portion of his benefit payable under Article 4 and the benefit payable under Article 6. However, both benefits together, as provided under Articles 4 and 6, must commence simultaneously.

(c) Any election not to receive payment of benefits under the Plan in the normal form provided in Article 7.01 of the Plan shall be made at any time during the election period in writing. Any such election may be revoked in writing, and a new election made, at any time during the election period. The election period shall be the ninety (90) day period ending on the Annuity Starting Date.

(d) A 20-year certain and life annuity is a reduced monthly benefit payable for the life of the Participant, and if he dies before receiving 240 monthly payments, payments shall continue to the Participant’s designated Beneficiary until a total of 240 monthly payments have been made.

(i) If a Beneficiary dies after payments begin to the Beneficiary, but before a total of 240 payments have been made to the Participant and the Beneficiary, the Actuarial Equivalent value of the remaining payments shall be paid in a single lump sum to the Beneficiary’s estate.

(ii) If the Participant dies before receiving 240 monthly payments and there is no surviving designated Beneficiary, the Actuarial Equivalent value of the remaining payments shall be paid in a single lump sum to the Participant’s estate.

In no event shall a Participant be entitled to elect a 20-year certain and life annuity if the guaranteed payment period exceeds the maximum period allowed under Treasury Regulation section 1.401(a)(9)-6.

(e) A joint and survivor annuity with a 20-year certain and life guarantee is a reduced monthly benefit payable to the Participant for life and to a surviving named contingent annuitant for the lifetime of the contingent annuitant in an amount equal to 50 percent, 75 percent, or 100 percent (as elected by the Participant) of the amount payable during the Participant’s lifetime. If the Participant and contingent annuitant both die before a total of 240 monthly payments have been made, the Plan shall pay a benefit equal to the Actuarial Equivalent value of the monthly survivor benefit payable to the contingent annuitant for a period equal to 240 minus the total number of monthly payment made to the Participant and the joint annuitant. This benefit shall be paid in a single lump sum to:

(i) one or more Beneficiaries designated by the Participant; or

(ii) if there is no surviving designated Beneficiary, the estate of the Participant or contingent annuitant, whoever is the last to die.

In no event shall a Participant be entitled to elect a joint and survivor annuity with a 20-year certain and life guarantee if the guaranteed payment period exceeds the maximum period allowed under Treasury Regulation section 1.401(a)(9)-6.

7.03 Minimum Distributions and Limitation on Optional Forms of Payment.

(a) Notwithstanding any other Plan provision, all distributions required under this Article 7.03 shall be determined and made in accordance with Sections 1.401(a)(9)-2 through 1.401(a)(9)-9 of the Treasury Regulations issued under Section 401(a)(9) of the Code, including the incidental death benefit provisions of Section 401(a)(9)(G) of the Code. Further, such regulations shall override any Plan provision that is inconsistent with Section 401(a)(9) of the Code. If a Participant dies after payments have commenced, any payments continuing on to his Spouse or Beneficiary shall be distributed at least as rapidly as under the method of distribution being used as of the Participant’s date of death.

(b) The following rules shall apply to all distributions:

(i) Any additional benefits accruing to a Participant in a calendar year after the first distribution calendar year will be distributed beginning with the first payment interval ending in the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which such amount accrues.

(ii) If the Participant’s benefit is being distributed in the form of a joint and survivor annuity for the joint lives of the Participant and non-spouse Beneficiary, annuity payments to be made on or after the Participant’s required beginning date to the designated beneficiary after the Participant’s death must not at any time exceed the applicable percentage of the annuity payment for such period that would have been payable to the Participant using the table set forth in Q&A-2 of Section 1.401(a)(9)-6 of the Treasury Regulations. If the form of distribution combines a joint and survivor annuity for the joint lives of the Participant and a non-spouse Beneficiary and a period certain annuity, the requirement in the preceding

sentence will apply to annuity payments to be made to the designated beneficiary after the expiration of the period certain. If the Annuity Starting Date occurs in a calendar year which precedes the calendar year in which the Participant reaches age 70, in determining the applicable percentage, the Participant/Beneficiary’s age difference is reduced by the number of years that the Participant is younger than age 70 on the employee’s birthday in the calendar year that contains the Annuity Starting Date.

(iii) If the Participant’s benefit is being distributed in the form of a period certain and life annuity option, the period certain may not exceed the applicable distribution period for the Participant under the Uniform Lifetime Table set forth in Section 1.401(a)(9)-9 of the Treasury Regulations for the calendar year that contains the Annuity Starting Date. If the Annuity Starting Date precedes the year in which the Participant reaches age 70, the applicable distribution period for the Participant is the distribution period for age 70 under the Uniform Lifetime Table set forth in Section 1.401(a)(9)-9 of the Treasury Regulations plus the excess of 70 over the age of the Participant as of the Participant’s birthday in the year that contains the Annuity Starting Date.

(iv) For purposes of this Article, the following definitions shall apply:

(A) Designated beneficiary. The individual who is designated as the beneficiary under Article 1.07 is the designated beneficiary under Section 401(a)(9) of the Code and Section 1.401(a)(9)-4, Q&A-1, of the Treasury Regulations.

(B) Distribution calendar year. A calendar year for which a minimum distribution is required. For distributions beginning before the Participant’s death, the first distribution calendar year is the calendar year immediately preceding the calendar year which contains the Participant’s required beginning date.

(C) Life Expectancy. Life expectancy as computed using the Single Life Table in Section 1.401(a)(9)-(9) of the Treasury Regulations.

(D) Required beginning date. With respect to a Participant who is a 5-percent owner as defined in Section 416(i) of the Code, the April 1 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Participant attains age 70½ and, with respect to a Participant who is not a 5-percent owner, the April 1 following the later of the calendar year in which the Participant attains age 70½ or the calendar year in which the Participant retires.

7.04 Notice to Married Participants.

No less than thirty (30) days and no more than ninety (90) days prior to the Annuity Starting Date, the Administrative Committee shall furnish any Participant who has a Spouse, by mail or personal delivery, with a written explanation of (a) the terms and conditions of the Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity provided in Article 7.01 of the Plan, (b) the Participant's right to make, and the effect of, an election to waive the Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity form of benefit, (c) the rights of the Participant's Spouse under Article 7.02(b) of the Plan to consent to a waiver of the Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity form, and (d) the right to make, and the effect of, a revocation of an election to waive payment in the form of a Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity. Within thirty (30) days following receipt by the Administrative Committee of a Participant's written request, the Participant shall be furnished an additional written explanation, in terms of dollar amounts, of the financial effect of an election not to receive the Qualified Joint and

Survivor Annuity. For notices given in Plan Years beginning after December 31, 2006, such notification shall also include a description of how much larger benefits may be if the commencement of distributions is deferred. The Administrative Committee shall not be required to comply with more than one such request.

7.05 Mandatory Cashout of Small Benefits.

Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, in any case, a lump sum payment of Actuarial Equivalent value shall be made in lieu of all benefits in the event the present value of the Participant’s benefit determined as of his Annuity Starting Date amounts to $5,000 or less.

In determining the amount of a lump sum payment payable under this paragraph, Actuarial Equivalent value shall mean a benefit, in the case of a lump sum benefit payable prior to a Participant's Normal Retirement Date, of equivalent value to the benefit which would otherwise have been provided commencing at the Participant's Normal Retirement Date, or if larger, the benefit which would otherwise have been provided commencing at the earliest date he could have commenced payment. In the event the present value of a benefit exceeds $5,000 upon its initial determination as to its present value, the present value of the benefit shall be re-determined annually as of the first day of each subsequent Plan Year. The determination as to whether a lump sum payment is due shall be made as soon as practicable following the Participant’s termination of service. Any lump sum benefit payable shall be made as soon as practicable following the determination that the amount qualifies for distribution under the provisions of this paragraph. In no event shall a lump sum payment be made following the date pension payments have commenced as an annuity.

Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, in the event that the Participant’s Annuity Starting Date occurs prior to his Normal Retirement Date and the present value of his benefit determined as of his Annuity Starting Date amounts to greater than $1,000 but not greater than $5,000, if such Participant does not elect to have his distribution paid directly to an “eligible retirement plan” (as defined in Article 7.08(b)(ii)) specified by the Participant in a “direct rollover” (as defined in Article 7.08(b)(iv)) or to receive such distribution directly in accordance with the provisions of this Article 7, then the Plan Administrator will pay such distribution in a direct rollover to an individual retirement account or annuity described in Section 408(a) or (b) of the Code designated by the Plan Administrator.

7.06 Annuity Contract Nontransferable.

Any annuity contract distributed herefrom must be nontransferable.

7.07 Conflicts With Annuity Contracts.

The terms of any annuity contract purchased and distributed by the Plan to a Participant, Spouse or Beneficiary shall comply with the requirements of this Plan.

7.08 Rollovers.

(a) Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary that would otherwise limit a distributee's election under this Article 7.08, 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.

(b) The following definitions apply to the terms used in this Article 7.08:

(i) 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 Section 401(a)(9) of the Code; and 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) and any distribution where all otherwise eligible distributions are expected to total less than $200;

A portion of a distribution shall not fail to be an eligible rollover distribution merely because the portion consists of after-tax employee contributions which are not includible in gross income. However, such portion may be transferred only to (1) an individual retirement account or annuity described in Section 408(a) or (b) of the Code; (2) for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2001 and before January 1, 2007; to a qualified trust which is part of a defined contribution plan that agrees to separately account for amounts so transferred, including separately accounting for the portion of such distribution which is includible in gross income and the portion of such distribution which is not so includible; or (3) for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2006, to a qualified trust or to an annuity contract described in Section 403(b) of the Code, if such trust or contract provides for separate accounting for amounts so transferred (including interest thereon), including separately accounting for the portion of such distribution which is includible in gross income and the portion of such distribution which is not so includible;

(ii) 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 Section 403(a) of the Code, a Roth individual retirement account described in Section 408A of the Code (effective January 1, 2008), a qualified trust described in Section 401(a) of the Code, an annuity contract described in Section 403(b) of the Code, or an eligible plan under Section 457(b) of the Code which is maintained by a state, political subdivision of a state, or any agency or instrumentality of a state or political subdivision of a state and which agrees to separately account for amounts transferred into such plan from this Plan;

(iii) 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; and

(iv) A "direct rollover" is a payment by the Plan to the eligible retirement plan specified by the distributee.

(c) Effective April 1, 2007, a distributee also includes a non-spouse Beneficiary. In the case of a nonspouse beneficiary, the direct rollover may be made only to an individual retirement account or annuity described in Sections 408(a) or 408(b) of the Code (“IRA”) that is established on behalf of the designated beneficiary and that will be treated as an inherited IRA pursuant to the provisions of Section

402(c)(11) of the Code. Also, in this case, the determination of any required minimum distribution under Section 401(a)(9) of the Code that is ineligible for rollover shall be made in accordance with Notice 2007-7, Q&A 17 and 18, 2007-5 I.R.B. 395.

In the event that the provisions of this Article or any part thereof cease to be required by law as a result of subsequent legislation or otherwise, this Article or any applicable part thereof shall be ineffective without the necessity of further amendments to the Plan.

7.09 Waiver of Thirty (30) Day Notice Period.

The notice required by Section 1.411(a)-11(c) of the Treasury Regulations must be provided to a Participant no less than thirty (30) days and no more than ninety (90) days before the Annuity Starting Date.

A Participant may, after receiving the notice required under Sections 411 and 417 of the Code, affirmatively elect to have his benefit commence sooner than 30 days following his receipt of the required notice, provided all of the following requirements are met:

(i) the Plan Administrator clearly informs the Participant that he has a period of at least 30 days after receiving the notice to decide when to have his benefit begin, and if applicable, to choose a particular optional form of payment;

(ii) the Participant affirmatively elects a date for benefits to begin, and if applicable, an optional form of payment, after receiving the notice;

(iii) the Participant is permitted to revoke his election until the later of his Annuity Starting Date or seven (7) days following the day he received the notice;

(iv) the Participant's Annuity Starting Date is after the date the notice is provided; and

(v) payment does not commence less than seven (7) days following the day after the notice is received by the Participant.

7.10 Delayed Commencement of Normal Retirement Benefit.

(a)Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, in the event a Participant's pension otherwise required to commence on the Participant's Normal Retirement Date is delayed because the Administrative Committee is unable to locate the Participant or for any other reason, the Administrative Committee shall commence payment within 90 days after the date the Participant is located. Unless the Participant elects an optional form of payment in accordance with the provisions of Article 7.02, payment shall be in the normal (automatic) form set forth in Article 7.01(a) or 7.01(b), as applicable to the Participant on his Annuity Starting Date. The pension payable to the Participant as of his Annuity Starting Date shall be of Actuarial Equivalent to the pension otherwise payable to the Participant on his Normal Retirement Date.

In the event a Participant whose pension is delayed beyond his Normal Retirement Date as described in the foregoing paragraph dies prior to his Annuity Starting Date, and is survived by a Spouse, the Spouse shall be entitled to receive a survivor annuity under the provisions of Article 7.01(b), computed as Actuarial Equivalent of the pension otherwise payable to the Participant on his Normal Retirement Date.

For purposes of this paragraph (a), Actuarial Equivalent shall be determined in the same manner as provided in Article 6.07(b).

(b)In lieu of the pension otherwise payable under paragraph (a) above, a Participant described in paragraph (a) above may elect to receive his pension as of his Normal Retirement Date in accordance with subparagraph (b)(i) or subparagraph (b)(ii) below:

(i)Annuity with Partial Lump Sum. A Participant may elect to receive a pension payable in the amount that would have been payable to the Participant if payments had commenced on the Participant's Normal Retirement Date ("retroactive Annuity Starting Date") in the form elected by the Participant; plus one lump sum payment equal to the sum of the monthly payments the Participant would have received during the period beginning on his Normal Retirement Date and ending with the month preceding his Annuity Starting Date, together with interest at the annual rate specified in Article 4.03(a)(v), compounded annually. The amount of such monthly payments shall be determined as of the Participant's Normal Retirement Date on the basis of the actual form of payment in which the Participant's pension is payable under Article 7.01 or 7.02, as applicable. The lump sum shall be paid on or as soon as practicable following the date the Participant's pension commences. An election under this subparagraph (b)(i) shall be subject to the following requirements:

(A)The Participant's benefit, including any interest adjustment, must satisfy the provisions of Section 415 of the Code, both at the retroactive Annuity Starting Date and at the actual commencement date, except that if payments commence within 12 months of the retroactive Annuity Starting Date, the provisions of Section 415 of the Code need only be satisfied as of the retroactive Annuity Starting Date.

(B)Spousal Consent to the retroactive Annuity Starting Date is required unless:

(1)the amount of the survivor annuity payable to the spouse determined as of the retroactive Annuity Starting Date under the form elected by the Participant is no less than the amount the spouse would receive under the Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity on the actual commencement date; or

(2)the Participant's spouse on his retroactive Annuity Starting Date is not his spouse on his actual commencement date and is not treated as his spouse under a qualified domestic relations order.

(C)The Participant may not elect the lump sum optional form of payment under Article 7.02.

(ii)Lump Sum Payment. A Participant shall receive payment of his pension in the form of one lump sum payment determined as if his Normal Retirement Date was his Annuity Starting Date ("retroactive Annuity Starting Date"). Such election shall be subject to the following requirements:

(A)the Participant's benefit, including any interest adjustment, must satisfy the provisions of Sections 415 of the Code, both at the retroactive Annuity Starting Date and at the actual commencement date;

(B)the lump sum payment shall not be less than the amount that would have been payable on the retroactive Annuity Starting Date if the lump sum amount had been calculated using the IRS Interest Rate and IRS Mortality Table in effect on the date of distribution;

(C)the lump sum payment shall be increased by an amount of interest credited at the annual rate specified in Article 4.03(a)(v) from the Participant's Normal Retirement Date to his actual commencement date; and

(D)Spousal Consent to the retroactive Annuity Starting Date is required unless the Participant's spouse on his retroactive Annuity Starting Date is not his spouse on his actual commencement date and is not treated as his spouse under a qualified domestic relations order.

A Participant may make an election under this paragraph (b) in accordance with such administrative rules as shall be prescribed by the Administrative Committee.

7.11 Limitation on Benefits In the Event of a Liquidity Shortfall.

Notwithstanding any provisions of the Plan to the contrary, in the event the Plan has a liquidity shortfall within the meaning of Section 401(a)(32) of the Code, the Trustee shall, as directed by the Administrative Committee, cease payment during the period of such liquidity shortfall of (a) any payment in excess of the monthly amount payable under a single life annuity (plus any social security supplements described in Section 411(a)(9) of the Code) to any Participant or Beneficiary whose Annuity Starting Date occurs during such period, (b) any payment for the purchase of an irrevocable commitment from an insurer to pay benefits, or (c) any other payment specified in regulations promulgated under Section 401(a)(32) of the Code.

7.12 Limitations Based on Funded Status of the Plan.

Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, the following provisions shall apply as required by Section 436 of the Code effective for Plan Years beginning on or after January 1, 2010:

(a) Limitations Applicable if Plan’s Adjusted Funding Target Attainment Percentage Is Less than 80%, but Not Less Than 60%. Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan, if the Plan’s adjusted funding target attainment percentage for a Plan Year is less than 80% (or would be less than 80% to the extent described in subparagraph (ii) below) but is not less than 60%, then the limitations set forth in this Article 7.12 apply.

(i) 50% Limitation on Single Sum Payments, Other Accelerated Forms of Distribution, and Other Prohibited Payments. A Participant or Beneficiary is not permitted to elect, and the Plan shall not pay, a single sum payment or other optional form of benefit that includes a prohibited payment with an annuity starting date on or after the applicable section 436 measurement date, and the Plan shall not make any payment for the purchase of an irrevocable commitment from an insurer to pay benefits or any other payment or transfer that is a prohibited payment, unless the

present value of the portion of the benefit that is being paid in a prohibited payment does not exceed the lesser of:

(A) 50% of the present value of the benefit payable in the optional form of benefit that includes the prohibited payment; or

(B) 100% of the PBGC maximum benefit guarantee amount (as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.436-1(d)(3)(iii)(C)).

The limitation set forth in this subparagraph (i) does not apply to any payment of a benefit which under Code Section 411(a)(11) may be immediately distributed without the consent of the Participant.

If an optional form of benefit that is otherwise available under the terms of the Plan is not available to a Participant or Beneficiary as of the annuity starting date because of the application of the requirement of this subparagraph (i), the Participant or Beneficiary is permitted to elect to bifurcate the benefit into unrestricted and restricted portions (as described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.436-1(d)(3)(iii)(D)). The Participant or Beneficiary may also elect any other optional form of benefit otherwise available under the Plan at that annuity starting date that would satisfy the 50%/PBGC maximum benefit guarantee amount limitation described in this subparagraph (i), or may elect to defer the entire benefit in accordance with any general right defer commencement of benefits under the Plan.

(ii) Plan Amendments Increasing Liability for Benefits. No amendment to the Plan that has the effect of increasing liabilities of the Plan by reason of increases in benefits, establishment of new benefits, changing the rate of benefit accrual, or changing the rate at which benefits become nonforfeitable shall take effect in a Plan Year if the adjusted funding target attainment percentage for the Plan Year is:

(A) Less than 80%; or

(B) 80% or more, but would be less than 80% if the benefits attributable to the amendment were taken into account in determining the adjusted funding target attainment percentage.

The limitation set forth in this subparagraph (ii) does not apply to any Plan amendment that provides a benefit increase under a Plan formula that is not based on compensation, provided that the rate of such increase does not exceed the contemporaneous rate of increase in the average wages of Participants covered by the amendment.

(b) Limitations Applicable if Plan’s Adjusted Funding Target Attainment Percentage Is Less than 60%. Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan, if the Plan’s adjusted funding target attainment percentage for a Plan Year is less than 60% (or would be less than 60% to the extent described in subparagraph (ii) below), then the limitations in this paragraph (b) apply.

(i) Single Sums, Other Accelerated Forms of Distribution, and Other Prohibited Payments Not Permitted. A Participant or Beneficiary is not permitted to elect, and the Plan shall not pay, a single sum payment or other optional form of benefit that includes a prohibited payment with an annuity starting date on or after the applicable section 436 measurement date, and the Plan shall not make any payment for the purchase of an irrevocable commitment from an insurer to pay benefits or any other

payment or transfer that is a prohibited payment. The limitation set forth in this subparagraph (i) does not apply to any payment of a benefit which under Code Section 411(a)(11) may be immediately distributed without the consent of the Participant.

(ii) Shutdown Benefits and Other Unpredictable Contingent Event Benefits Not Permitted to Be Paid. An unpredictable contingent event benefit with respect to an unpredictable contingent event occurring during a Plan Year shall not be paid if the adjusted funding target attainment percent for the Plan Year is:

(A) Less than 60%; or

(B) 60% or more, but would be less than 60% if the adjusted funding target attainment percentage were redetermined applying an actuarial assumption that the likelihood of occurrence of the unpredictable contingent event during the Plan Year is 100%.

(iii) Benefit Accruals Frozen. Benefit accruals under the Plan shall cease as of the applicable section 436 measurement date. In addition, if the Plan is required to cease benefit accruals under this subparagraph (iii), then the Plan is not permitted to be amended in a manner that would increase the liabilities of the Plan by reason of an increase in benefits or establishment of new benefits.

(c) Limitations Applicable if the Plan Sponsor Is in Bankruptcy. Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan, a Participant or Beneficiary is not permitted to elect, and the Plan shall not pay, a single sum payment or other optional form of benefits that includes a prohibited payment with an annuity starting date that occurs during any period in which the Plan sponsor is a debtor in a case under Title 11 of the United States Code, or similar federal or state law, except for payments made within a Plan Year with an annuity starting date that occurs on or after the date on which the enrolled actuary certifies that the Plan’s adjusted funding target attainment percentage for that Plan Year is not less than 100%. In addition, during such period in which the Plan sponsor is a debtor, the Plan shall not make any payment for the purchase of an irrevocable commitment from an insurer to pay benefits or any other payment or transfer that is a prohibited payment, except for payments that occur on a date within a Plan Year that is on or after the date on which the enrolled actuary certifies that the Plan’s adjusted funding target attainment percentage for that Plan Year is not less than 100%. The limitation set forth in this paragraph (c) does not apply to any payment of a benefit which under Code Section 411(a)(11) may be immediately distributed without the consent of the Participant.

(d) Provisions Applicable after Limitations Cease to Apply.

(i) Resumption of Prohibited Payments. If a limitation on prohibited payments under paragraph (a)(i), (b)(i), or (c) applied to the Plan as of a section 436 measurement date, but that limit no longer applies to the Plan as of a later section 436 measurement date, then that limitation does not apply to benefits with annuity starting dates that are on or after that later section 436 measurement date.

(ii) Resumption of Benefit Accruals. If a limitation on benefit accruals under paragraph (b)(iii) applied to the Plan as of a section 436 measurement date, but that limitation no longer applies to the Plan as of a later section 436 measurement date, then benefit accruals shall resume prospectively and that limitation does not apply to benefit accruals that are based on

service on or after that later section 436 measurement date, except as otherwise provided under the Plan. The Plan shall comply with the rules relating to partial years of participation and the prohibition on double proration under Department of Labor regulations Sections 2530.204-2(c) and 2530.204-2(d).

(iii) Shutdown and Other Unpredictable Contingent Event Benefits. If an unpredictable contingent event benefit with respect to an unpredictable contingent event that occurs during the Plan Year is not permitted to be paid after the occurrence of the event because of the limitation of paragraph (b)(ii) above, but is permitted to be paid later in the same Plan Year (as a result of additional contributions or pursuant to the enrolled actuary’s certification of the adjusted funding target attainment percentage for the Plan Year that meets the requirements of Treasury Regulations Section 1.436-1(g)(5)(ii)(B)), then that unpredictable contingent event benefit shall be paid, retroactive to the period that benefit would have been payable under the terms of the Plan (determined without regard to paragraph (b)(ii) above). If the unpredictable contingent event benefit does not become payable during the Plan Year in accordance with the preceding sentence, then the Plan is treated as if it does not provide for that benefit and, thus, no unpredictable contingent event benefit shall be payable.

(iv) Treatment of Plan Amendments that Do Not Take Effect. If a Plan amendment does not take effect as of the effective date of the amendment because of the limitation of paragraphs (a)(ii) or (b)(iii), but is permitted to take effect later in the same Plan Year (as a result of additional contributions or pursuant to the enrolled actuary’s certification of the adjusted funding target attainment percentage for the Plan Year that meets the requirements of Treasury Regulations Section 1.436-1(g)(5)(ii)(C)), then the Plan amendment must automatically take effect as of the first day of the Plan Year (or, if later, the original effective date of the amendment).

For a Participant who was an Employee in active employment at the time of his death, the benefit shall be equal to the amount the Participant would have received pursuant to Article 6.01(a) and Article 6.01(b), if the benefit to which the Participant had been entitled at his date of death had commenced in the form of a one hundred percent (100%) joint and survivor annuity in the month next following the month in which his Normal Retirement Date had occurred (or next following the month in which his date of death occurred, if later); for a Participant who was not an Employee in active employment at the time of his death (including a Participant who was accruing benefits or receiving payments under Article 6.05), the benefit shall be equal to the amount the Participant would have received pursuant to Article 6.01(a) and Article 6.01(b), if the benefit to which the Participant had been entitled at his date of death had commenced in the form of a fifty percent (50%) joint and survivor annuity in the month next following the month in which his Normal Retirement Date had occurred (or next following the month in which his date of death occurred, if later). The benefit payable to the Beneficiary shall be reduced in accordance with Schedule A 1 to reflect its commencement prior to the Participant’s Normal Retirement Date and on or after the Participant’s 55th birthday if the Beneficiary elects early commencement. The benefit payable hereunder shall commence as of the first day of the month following the month in which the Participant’s Normal Retirement Date would have occurred. However, the Participant’s Beneficiary may elect to begin receiving payments as of the first day of any month following the Participant’s death.

The lump sum payment shall be made as soon as practicable following the Participant’s date of death or such later date that a determination is made that the amount qualifies for distribution under this paragraph. In no event shall a lump sum payment be made following the date benefit payments have commenced to the Beneficiary as an annuity.

(d) In the event a Participant entitled to a death benefit under paragraph (a) dies with his estate as his Beneficiary, the death benefit shall be calculated assuming the Beneficiary is the same age as the Participant and, in lieu of the annuity form of payment, the death benefit shall be paid in one lump sum under Article 8.03.

Subject to Article 8.04, the Beneficiary entitled to a benefit pursuant to Article 8.01(a) may elect to receive the benefit in a lump sum, payable at the election of the Beneficiary, at any time following the Participant's death. In the event the Beneficiary is the Participant’s estate or any other legal entity other than an individual, the death benefit shall automatically be paid in one lump sum.

The death benefit payable to a Beneficiary pursuant to Article 8.02 shall be paid in a lump sum as soon as practicable after the date of the Participant's death.

8.04 Required Distributions.

(a) If a Participant dies after distribution of his interest in the Plan has commenced in accordance with Article 7 of the Plan, the remaining portion of the Participant's interest in the Plan shall be distributed at least as rapidly as the method of distribution being used as of the date of the Participant's death pursuant to Article 7 of the Plan.

The absence of a Participant from active work at the time he would be eligible to retire under the Plan shall not preclude his retirement without return to active work, provided that such absence is due to lay-off, medical leave or other Company approved leave of absence commencing subsequent to September 15, 1952 and provided there has been no loss of Credited Service.

(g) Pension Payments.

(i) Pensions shall be paid monthly. The first monthly payment of an Participant's pension other than for total and permanent disability shall be on the first day of the month following the month in which the Participant actually retires or, in the case of early retirement, the later date selected by the Employee in accordance with paragraph (b)(i) or (ii), and the pension shall be payable monthly during his lifetime thereafter.

(ii) Total and permanent disability pensions shall be payable to the disability pensioner (A) on the first day of the month following the date the required proof of such disability is received by the Company, or (B) the first day of the month following the completion of a period of total and permanent disability of six (6) months, whichever is later, and thereafter shall be payable monthly during the continuance of total and permanent disability while he remains eligible for such benefits.

(iii) In determining the pension payable to any pensioner, a deduction shall be made equivalent to all or any part of the following benefits payable to such pensioner by reason of any law of the United States, or any political subdivision thereof, which has been or shall be enacted; provided, that such deduction shall be to the extent that such benefits have been provided by premiums, taxes or other payments paid by or at the expense of the Company:

(A) Workers' Compensation (except fixed statutory payments for loss of any bodily member); provided, however, that this subparagraph shall not be applicable with respect to the monthly pension payable to any pensioner for months commencing on and after October 1, 1965 except as provided in subparagraph (C) below.

(h) Death Benefits.

(i) If a Participant who has a vested interest in his retirement benefit dies before payment of his benefits commence, then his surviving spouse shall be entitled to receive a benefit under this Article 9.02. The benefit shall be equal to the amount the Participant would have received pursuant to this Article 9.02, if the benefit to which Participant had been entitled at his date of death had commenced in the form described in paragraph (e) of a

joint and survivor annuity in the month next following the month in which his Normal Retirement Date had occurred (or next following the month in which his date of death occurred, if later). The benefit payable hereunder shall commence as of the first day of the month following the later of the Participant’s Normal Retirement Date would have occurred. However, the Participant’s Spouse may elect to begin receiving payments as of the first day of any earlier month following the later of the month in which occurs the Participant’s death or the date the Participant would have attained age 55. If the Beneficiary elects to commence receipt of payment prior to the Participant’s 55th birthday, the reduction for early commencement shall be the Actuarial Equivalent from age 65.

The benefit payable to the Spouse shall commence on the Participant’s Normal Retirement Date or his date of death, if later. However, if the Participant had met the requirements for an early retirement benefit or was in receipt of payments under paragraph (c) upon his date of death, the Spouse may elect to commence payment as of the first day of any earlier month following the Participant’s date of death. In the case of any other Participant, the Spouse my elect to commence payment as of the first day of any earlier month following the later of the Participant’s 55th birthday or his date of death.

In any case in which the surviving Spouse’s benefit commences prior to the Participant’s Normal Retirement Date, the amount of the surviving Spouse’s benefit shall be adjusted to reflect a reduction for early commencement equivalent to the reduction that would have been applied in determining the amount of the Participant’s pension under the provisions of paragraph (b) or (d), as applicable, had the Participant begun to receive his pension as of such commencement date. No reduction shall apply if the Participant died while in receipt of payments under paragraph (c).

(ii) Upon the death of a pensioner who retired with benefits which first could commence on or after October 1, 1965 in accordance with the early, normal, automatic, or total and permanent disability retirement provisions of the Plan, the lump sum death benefit under the Plan shall be $1,000, reduced by any amounts under a Group Life Insurance Plan of the Company which were paid to the pensioner during his lifetime or are payable by reason of his death.

Notwithstanding any provision in this Plan to the contrary, a pensioner whose Credited Service was with the Buffalo Facility, the death benefit shall be increased to $2,000 effective September 1, 1994 and $3,000 effective September 1, 1995.

(iii) Payment of the death benefit after retirement shall be made in a lump sum to a surviving beneficiary designated by the pensioner or, otherwise, to his estate.

12.01 Amendment.

The Company may at any time and from time to time amend the Plan by written instrument, provided, that:

(a) no amendment that affects the rights and obligations of the Trustee shall be effective without the written consent of the Trustee, unless such amendment is necessary for the qualification of the Plan under Section 401(a) of the Code or to avoid actual or potential liability of the Company with respect to the Plan, including, without limitation, liability to make future contributions;

(b) no amendment shall cause the Trust Fund to be used other than for the exclusive benefit of Participants and their Beneficiaries;

(c) if any amendment changes the vesting provisions of the Plan, within sixty (60) days after receiving written notice of such amendment, or such longer period as may be prescribed by Section 411 of the Code or the regulations promulgated thereunder, a Participant who has completed at least three (3) Years of Service may file with the Administrative Committee an election to have his vested interest in his retirement benefit computed under the Plan's vesting provisions as applicable to such Participant immediately prior to the amendment; and

(d) any party will be protected in assuming that this Agreement has not been amended until such party has received written notice of the amendment.

No amendment to the Plan, including a change in the actuarial basis for determining optional or early retirement benefits, shall be effective to the extent that it has the effect of decreasing a Participant's retirement benefit. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, a Participant's retirement benefit may be reduced to the extent permitted under Section 412(c)(8) of the Code (as it read before the first day of the 2008 Plan Year) or Section 412(d)(2) of the Code (as it reads for Plan Years beginning on and after January 1, 2008), or to the extent permitted under the Sections 1.411(d)-3 and 1.411(d)-4 of the Treasury Regulations. For purposes of this Article 12.01, a Plan amendment which has the effect of eliminating or reducing an early retirement benefit or a retirement-type subsidy; or eliminating an optional form of benefit, with respect to benefits attributable to Service before the amendment shall be treated as reducing retirement benefits. In the case of a retirement-type subsidy, the preceding sentence shall apply only with respect to a Participant who satisfies, either before or after the amendment, the pre-amendment conditions for the subsidy. In general, a retirement-type subsidy is a subsidy that continues after retirement, but does not include a qualified disability benefit, a medical benefit, a social security supplement, a death benefit (including life insurance). Furthermore, if the vesting schedule of a plan is amended, in the case of an Employee who is a Participant as of the later of the date such amendment is adopted or becomes effective, the nonforfeitable percentage, determined as of such date, of such Employee's employer-derived retirement benefit will not be less than the percentage computed under the Plan without regard to such amendment.

12.02 Procedure for Amendment.

Any modification or amendment of or to any or all of the provisions of the Plan shall be made by a written resolution of either the Company or the Administrative Committee, which shall be delivered to the Trustee and, where required, to the Board of Administration as defined in 9.04(a).

12.03 Company's Right to Terminate Plan.

The Company intends to maintain the Plan as a permanent tax-qualified retirement plan. Nevertheless, the Company reserves the right to terminate the Plan, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, for any reason whatsoever.

12.04 Consequences of Termination.

(a) If the Plan is terminated in whole or in part, or if Company contributions are completely discontinued, each Participant affected by such termination or discontinuance shall be fully vested in his retirement benefit as of the date of such termination or discontinuance of Company contributions. The Administrative Committee shall determine the date and manner of distribution of the retirement benefits of all affected Participants.

(b) The Administrative Committee shall give prompt notice to each Participant or, if deceased, his Beneficiary affected by the Plan's complete or partial termination, or the discontinuance of Company contributions.

(c) The balance, if any, of the residual assets held by the Trust Fund after all liabilities have been extinguished, shall revert to the Company, but only after the satisfaction of liabilities with respect to the Participants under the Plan.

12.05 Special Restrictions on Benefits.

The Plan limits the benefit payable to any Participant who is a Highly Compensated Employee upon Plan termination to a benefit that is nondiscriminatory under Section 401(a)(4) of the Code. Prior to Plan termination, the Plan restricts the annual payments to any Participant who is a “restricted employee”, unless:

(a) After payment of the benefit, the value of Plan assets equals or exceeds 110% of the value of the Plan’s funding target (as defined in Section 430(d) of the Code); or

(b) the value of the benefit is less than 1% of the value of the Plan’s funding target; or

The total payments in a Plan Year may not exceed an amount equal to: (1) the payments the Participant would receive under a single life annuity which is the Actuarial Equivalent of the Participant’s Accrued Benefit and the Participant’s other benefits (other than a social security supplement); plus (2) the amount of the payment the Participant would receive under a social security supplement. “Other benefits” include loans in excess of the limitations under Section 72(p)(2)(A) of the Code, any periodic income, any withdrawal values payable to a living Employee, and any death benefits not provided by insurance on the Participant’s life.

For purposes of this Article 12.05, the term “restricted employee” means an employee of the Company, including all employees who are not Employees under the Plan, who is among the twenty-five (25) employees with the highest Compensation, determined without taking account of the limitations of Section 401(a)(17) of the Code, for the Plan Year or any prior Plan Year.

These limitations shall not restrict the payment of any death benefit to any Beneficiary.

ARTICLE 13: MERGER OF PLAN AND TRANSFER OF ASSETS OR LIABILITIES

13.01 Merger or Transfer.

The Plan shall not be merged or consolidated with, nor shall any Plan assets or liabilities be transferred to, any other plan, unless each Participant (if the other plan then terminated) would receive a benefit that is equal to or greater than the benefit he would have been entitled to receive immediately before the merger, consolidation or transfer (if the Plan had then terminated).

13.02 Transfer from Trust.

At a Participant's request and pursuant to uniform rules prescribed by the Administrative Committee, the Administrative Committee may instruct the Trustee to transfer the Participant's Account to another qualified plan described in Section 401(a) of the Code in which the Participant is participating at the time of such transfer.

13.03 Transfer to Trust and Transfer Account.

(a) At a Participant's request, the Administrative Committee shall instruct the Trustee to accept a transfer of assets from another qualified plan described in Section 401(a) of the Code which assets are attributable to the Participant's interest in such other plan. The transferred amount shall be maintained in the Trust Fund on behalf of the Participant as a separate account under the Plan, designated the "Transfer Account."

(b) Any portion of the Transfer Account (whether the whole, the lesser amount or none) may be commingled with other assets of the Trust Fund for investment. In any event, the balance in the Transfer Account shall be adjusted to reflect its proportionate share of the Trust Fund's earnings, gains, losses and expenses.

(c) Unless the Participant has elected otherwise in the form and manner prescribed by the Administrative Committee, payment of the Transfer Account shall be made at the same time and in the same form as the retirement benefit and shall be in addition to the retirement benefit.

(d) A Participant's interest in his Transfer Account shall be at all times and in all events fully vested and nonforfeitable.

(e) The Participant's account will continue to retain all rights and protections ascribed to it pursuant to Section 411(d)(6) of the Code.

(A) If the Company maintains one or more defined benefit plans and the Company has not maintained any defined contribution plans which during the five (5) year period ending on the determination date(s) has or has had account balances, the top-heavy ratio for this Plan alone or for the required or permissive aggregation group as appropriate is a fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of the present value of retirement benefits of all Key Employees as of the determination date(s), and the denominator of which is the sum of present value of retirement benefits, both computed in accordance with Section 416 of the Code and the regulations thereunder. Both the numerator and denominator of the top-heavy ratio are increased to reflect any contribution not actually made as of the determination date, but which is required to be taken into account on that date under Section 416 of the Code and regulations thereunder. In determining the present values of retirement benefits under the Plan for an employee as of the applicable determination date, the numerator and denominator shall be increased by the distributions made with respect to the employee under the Plan and any plan aggregated with the Plan under Section 416(g)(2) of the Code during the one-year period (five-year period in the case of a distribution made for a reason other than severance from employment, death, or disability) ending on the applicable determination date and any distributions made with respect to the employee under a terminated plan which, had it not been terminated, would have been in the required aggregation group.

(B) If the Company maintains one or more defined contribution plans and the Company maintains or has maintained one or more defined benefit plans which during the five (5) year period ending on the determination date(s) has or has had any retirement

benefits, the top-heavy ratio for any required or permissive aggregation group as appropriate is a fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of account balances under the aggregated defined contribution plan or plans for all Key Employees, determined in accordance with (a) above, and the present value of retirement benefits under the aggregated defined benefit plan or plans for all Key Employees as of the determination date(s), and the denominator of which is the sum of the account balances under the aggregated defined contribution plan or plans for all Participants, determined in accordance with (a) above, and the present value of retirement benefits under the defined benefit plan or plans for all Participants as of the determination date(s), all determined in accordance with Section 416 of the Code and the regulations thereunder. The retirement benefits under a defined benefit plan in both the numerator and denominator of the top-heavy ratio are increased for any distribution of a retirement benefit made in the five (5) year period ending on the determination date. In determining the present values of retirement benefits under the Plan for an employee as of the applicable determination date, the numerator and denominator shall be increased by the distributions made with respect to the employee under the Plan and any plan aggregated with the Plan under Section 416(g)(2) of the Code during the one-year period (five-year period in the case of a distribution made for a reason other than severance from employment, death, or disability) ending on the applicable determination date and any distributions made with respect to the employee under a terminated plan which, had it not been terminated, would have been in the required aggregation group.

(C) For purposes of subparagraphs (A) and (B) the value of account balances and the present value of retirement benefits will be determined as of the most recent valuation date that falls within or ends with the twelve (12) month period ending on the determination date, except as provided in Section 416 of the Code and the regulations thereunder for the first and second Plan Years of a defined benefit plan. The account balances and retirement benefits of a Participant (1) who is not a Key Employee but who was a Key Employee in a prior year, or (2) who has not performed services for any Company maintaining the Plan at any time during the one-year period ending on the applicable determination date will be disregarded. The calculation of the top-heavy ratio, and the extent to which distributions, rollovers, and transfers are taken into account will be made in accordance with Section 416 of the Code and the regulations thereunder. Deductible employee contributions will not be taken into account for purposes of computing the top-heavy ratio. When aggregating plans the value of account balances and retirement benefits will be calculated with reference to the determination dates that fall within the same calendar year.

The retirement benefit to a Participant other than a Key Employee shall be determined under (a) the method, if any, that uniformly applies for accrual purposes under all defined benefit plans maintained by the Company, or (b) if there is no such method, as if such benefit accrued not more rapidly than the slowest accrual rate permitted under the fractional rule of Section 411(b)(1)(C) of the Code.

(ii) Permissive aggregation group:

The required aggregation group of plans plus other plan or plans of the Company which, when considered as a group with the required aggregation group, would continue to satisfy the requirements of Sections 401(a)(4) and 410 of the Code.

(iii) Required aggregation group:

(A) Each qualified plan of the Company in which at least one Key Employee participates or participated at any time during the determination period (regardless of whether the Plan has terminated), and

(B) any other qualified plan of the Company which enables a plan described in subparagraph (A) to meet the requirements of Section 401(a)(4) or 410 of the Code.

(iv) Determination date:

For any Plan Year subsequent to the first Plan Year, the last day of the preceding Plan Year. For the first Plan Year of the Plan, the last day of that year.

(v) Key Employee:

Any employee or former employee (including any deceased employee) who at any time during the Plan Year that includes the applicable determination date was an officer of the Company or an Affiliated Company having compensation greater than $130,000 (as adjusted under Section 416(i)(1) of the Code for Plan Years beginning after December 31, 2002), a 5-percent owner (as defined in Section 416(i)(1)(B)(i) of the Code) of the Company or an Affiliated Company, or a 1-percent owner (as defined in Section 416(i)(1)(B)(ii) of the Code) of the Company or an Affiliated Company) having compensation greater than $150,000 (the determination of who is a key employee shall be made in accordance with Section 416(i) of the Code and the applicable regulations and other guidance of general applicability issued thereunder) where applicable, on the basis of the Employee’s remuneration which, with respect to any Employee, shall mean the wages, salaries, and other amounts paid in respect of such Employee by the Company or an Affiliated Company for personal services actually rendered, determined before any pre-tax contributions under “qualified cash or deferred arrangement,” as defined under Section 401(k) of the Code and its applicable regulations, or under a “cafeteria plan” as defined under Section 125 of the Code and its applicable regulations, or under a “qualified transportation fringe,” as defined in Section 132(f) of the Code and its applicable regulations, and shall include, but not by way of limitation, bonuses, overtime payments, and commissions; and shall exclude deferred compensation, stock options, and other distributions which receive special tax benefits under the Code.

(vi) Non-Key Employee:

Any Employee or former Employee (and his Beneficiaries) who is not a Key Employee.

14.03 Minimum Benefit.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision in the Plan to the contrary, except as otherwise provided in paragraphs (c), (d) and (e) below, a Participant who is a Non-Key Employee and has completed one thousand (1,000) Hours of Service will accrue a benefit (to be provided solely by the Company contributions and expressed as a Life Annuity commencing at Normal Retirement Age) of not less than two (2%) percent of his or her highest average Compensation for the five (5) consecutive years for which the Participant had the highest Compensation multiplied by the number of Years of Vesting Service, not in excess of ten (10), during the Plan Years for which the Plan is top-heavy. For purposes of the preceding sentence, Years of Vesting Service shall be disregarded to the extent that such Years of Vesting Service occur during a Plan Year when the Plan benefits (within the meaning of Section 410(b) of the Code) no Key Employee or former Key Employee. The aggregate Compensation for the years during such five (5) year period in which the Participant was credited with a Year of Service will be divided by the number of years in order to determine average Annual Compensation. The minimum accrual is determined without regard to any Social Security contribution. The minimum accrual applies even though under other Plan provisions the Participant would not otherwise be entitled to receive an accrual, or would have received a lesser accrual for the year because (i) the Non-Key Employee fails to make mandatory contributions to the Plan, (ii) the Non-Key Employee's Compensation is less than a stated amount, (iii) the Non-Key Employee is not employed on the last day of the accrual computation period, or (iv) the Plan is integrated with Social Security.

(b) For purposes of computing the minimum retirement benefit, Compensation shall mean Compensation as defined in Article 1.12 of the Plan.

(c) The provision in paragraph (a) shall not apply to any Participant to the extent the Participant is covered under any other plan or plans of the Company. Such other plan or plans must provide a minimum two (2%) percent top heavy Benefit Accrual or a five (5%) percent top-heavy contribution.

(d) All accruals of employer-derived benefits, whether or not attributable to years for which the Plan is top heavy, may be used in computing whether the minimum accrual requirements of paragraph (c) are satisfied.

14.04 Minimum Vesting.

For any Plan Year in which this Plan is top heavy, the following vesting schedule shall automatically apply to this Plan. The vesting schedule applies to all benefits within the meaning of Section 411(a)(7) of the Code, except those attributable to employee contributions, including benefits accrued before the effective date of Section 416 and benefits accrued before the Plan became top heavy. Further, no reduction in vested benefits may occur in the event the Plan's status as top-heavy changes for any Plan Year. However, this Article does not apply to the account balances of any Employee who does not have an Hour of Service after the Plan has initially become top heavy and such Employee's account balance attributable to Company contributions and forfeitures will be determined without regard to this Article.

ARTICLE 15: GENERAL PROVISIONS

15.01 Trust Fund Sole Source of Payments for Plan.

The Trust Fund shall be the sole source for the payment of all Participant's retirement benefits. In no event shall assets of the Company be applied for the payment of Plan benefits.

15.02 Exclusive Benefit.

The Plan is established for the exclusive benefit of the Participants and their Beneficiaries, and the Plan shall be administered in a manner consistent with the provisions of Section 401(a) of the Code and of ERISA.

15.03 Binding Effect.

This Agreement shall be binding upon the heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns of the parties to this Agreement and upon any and all persons interested in this Agreement, presently or in the future.

15.04 Nonalienation.

(a) Except as required by any applicable law or by paragraph (c), no benefit under the Plan shall in any manner be anticipated, assigned or alienated, and any attempt to do so shall be void. However, payment shall be made in accordance with the provisions of any judgment, decree, or order which:

(i) creates for, or assigns to, a spouse, former spouse, child, or other dependent of a Participant the right to receive all or a portion of the Participant’s benefits under the Plan for the purpose of providing child support, alimony payments, or marital property rights to that spouse, former spouse, child, or dependent,

(ii) is made pursuant to a State domestic relations law,

(iii) does not require the Plan to provide any type of benefit, or any option, not otherwise provided under the Plan, and

(iv) otherwise meets the requirements of Section 206(d) of ERISA, as amended, as a “qualified domestic relations order,” as determined by the Administrative Committee.

(b) If the present value of any series of payments meeting the criteria set forth in (a)(i) through (a)(iv) above amounts to $5,000 or less, a lump sum payment of the Actuarial Equivalent of such benefit, determined in the manner described in Article 7.05, shall be made in lieu of the series of payments.

(c) A Participant’s benefits under the Plan shall be offset by the amount the Participant is required to pay to the Plan under the circumstances set forth in Section 401(a)(13)(C) of the Code.

(d) A Participant’s benefit under the Plan shall be distributed as required because of the enforcement of a federal tax levy made pursuant to Section 6331 of the Code or the collection by the United States on a judgment resulting from an unpaid tax assessment.

15.05 Claims Procedure.

All claims for benefits under the Plan by a Participant not covered under a collective bargaining agreement or his Beneficiary with respect to benefits not received by such person shall be made in writing to the Administrative Committee, which shall designate one of its members to review such claims. If the reviewing member believes that a claim should be denied, he shall notify the claimant in writing of the denial within ninety (90) days after his receipt of the claim, unless special circumstances require an extension of time for processing the claim. Such notice shall:

(a) set forth the specific reasons for the denial, making reference to the pertinent provisions of the Plan or the Plan documents on which the denial is based;

(b) describe any additional material or information that should be received before the claim may be acted upon favorably, and explain why such material or information, if any, is needed; and

(c) inform the person making the claim of his right pursuant to this Article to request review of the decision by the Administrative Committee.

Any such person who believes that he has submitted all available and relevant information may appeal the denial of a claim to the Administrative Committee by submitting a written request for review to the Administrative Committee within sixty (60) days after the date on which such denial is received. Such period may be extended by the Administrative Committee for good cause. The person making the request for review may examine pertinent Plan documents. The request for review may discuss any issues relevant to the claim. The Administrative Committee shall decide whether or not to grant the claim within sixty (60) days after receipt of the request for review, but this period may be extended by the Administrative Committee for up to an additional sixty (60) days in special circumstances. If such an extension of time for review is required because of special circumstances, written notice of the extension shall be furnished to the claimant prior to the commencement of the extension. The Administrative Committee's decision shall be in writing, shall include specific reasons for the decision and shall refer to pertinent provisions of the Plan or of the Plan documents on which the decision is based.

All claims for benefits under the Plan by a Participant covered under a collective bargaining agreement, or his Beneficiary, who has been denied a benefit, or feels aggrieved by any other act of the Board of Administration, shall be entitled to request a hearing before the Board of Administration of the Plan. Such request, together with a written statement of the claimant's position, shall be filed with the Board of Administration no later than ninety (90) days after receipt of the written notification. The Board of Administration shall schedule an opportunity for a full and fair hearing of the issue within the next sixty (60) days. The decision following such hearing shall be made within sixty (60) days and shall be communicated in writing to the claimant. The decision of the Board of Administration shall be final and binding upon all parties concerned. In the event the Board of Administration cannot reach a majority decision, an impartial chairman shall be appointed by the Board of Administration.

15.06 Location of Participant or Beneficiary Unknown.

In the event that all, or any portion, of the distribution payable to a Participant or his Beneficiary hereunder shall, at the expiration of five (5) years after it shall become payable, remain unpaid solely by reason of the inability of the Administrative Committee, after sending a registered letter, return receipt requested, to the last known address, and after further diligent effort, to ascertain the whereabouts of such Participant or his Beneficiary, the amount so distributable shall be forfeited and shall be used to reduce the cost of the Plan. In the event a Participant or Beneficiary is located subsequent to his benefit being forfeited, such benefit shall be restored.

15.07 Applicable Law.

Except as otherwise expressly required by ERISA, this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New Jersey, where it was entered into and where it shall be enforced.

15.09 Trust Fund Applicable Only to Payment of Benefits.

The Trust Fund will be used and applied only in accordance with the provisions of the Plan, to provide the benefits thereof, except as provided in Section 11.09 regarding payment of reasonable expenses, and no part of the corpus or income of the Trust Fund will be used for, or diverted to, purposes other than for the exclusive benefit of Participants and other persons entitled to benefits under the Plan. A Participant or any other person shall have no right to any benefit, payment or other amount (including any additional amount or increase on account of a delay in distribution(s) or any other reason) from the Plan except as expressly provided by the Plan. A Participant or any other person receiving any amount to which he was not entitled under the terms of the Plan shall be liable to the Plan for such amount and shall pay such amount to the Plan immediately upon becoming aware that he was not entitled to such amount.

ARTICLE 16: TRANSFERS

If an Employee during his period of employment with the Company and all Affiliated Companies is transferred to or from a position eligible to accrue benefits under the provisions of Article 4, 6 or 9 to a position that is ineligible for benefits under the applicable Article, the following provisions shall apply:

(a) Vesting Service. An Employee’s Vesting Years of Service shall be determined on the basis of his period of employment with the Company and all Affiliated Companies (unless otherwise specified in Schedule J).

(b) Credited Service for Purposes of Determining Eligibility for Benefits. For purposes of determining an Employee’s eligibility for benefits under the Plan (but not the amount of any benefit unless otherwise specified in paragraph (d) below), an Employee’s years of Credited Service shall be determined on the basis of his period of employment with the Company and all Affiliated Companies.

(c) Eligibility for Benefits. Upon an Employee’s termination of employment with the Company and all Affiliated Companies, an Employee shall be entitled to a Normal, Early, Disability or Vested Retirement Benefit under the applicable provisions of the Plan if, at the time of his termination of employment, he has satisfied the age, service, and any other requirements of the Plan for such benefit.

(d) Rules for Determining the Amount of Benefit.

(i)If an Employee who is accruing benefits under the provisions of Article 6 is transferred to a position with the Company or to an Affiliated Company and on account of such transfer the Employee would be ineligible to accrue further benefits under the provisions of Article 6, the following provisions shall apply:

(A) Credited Service for Benefit Accrual Purposes. All service with the Company or an Affiliated Company in such transferred position shall be included in determining the Employee’s years of Credited Service for purposes of determining the amount of the Employee’s benefit under Article 6 except that any service rendered while the Employee is eligible to accrue benefits under Article 9, would be eligible to accrue benefits under Article 9 but for the fact that his employment is covered by a collective bargaining agreement to which the Company is a party and that does not provide for coverage under the Plan or is eligible to participate in another qualified defined benefit pension plan shall be excluded.

(B) Average Compensation. Compensation (as defined in Article 1.12) paid by the Company or an Affiliated Company to the Employee while employed in such transferred position shall be included in determining an Employee’s Average Compensation.

(ii) If an Employee who is accruing benefits under the provisions of Article 4 is transferred to a position with the Company or to an Affiliated Company and on account of such transfer the Employee would be ineligible to accrue further benefits under the provisions of Article 4, benefits shall continue to accrue under the provisions of Article 4 after the date of transfer except that if the Employee is transferred to a position in which he is eligible to participate in a qualified defined contribution plan which provides for employer contributions (other than salary deferrals under Section 401(k) of the Code) the Employee shall cease to accrue benefits

under Article 4.02 based on Compensation paid to the Employee by the Company or an Affiliated Company while in the transferred position.

(iii) If an Employee who is accruing benefits under the provisions of Article 9 is transferred to a position with the Company or to an Affiliated Company in which he is ineligible to accrue further benefits under the provisions of Article 9, the Employee’s service rendered while in such ineligible position shall not be included in his Credited Service for purposes of determining the amount of his benefit under Article 9. Accordingly, If a participant transfers to a position where he is no longer eligible to participate in Article 9, he will not earn Credited Service under Article 9 while in that ineligible position.

(iv) If an Employee is transferred from a position that is ineligible to accrue benefits under the provisions of Article 4, 6 or 9 to a position that is eligible to accrue benefits under one of those Articles, the following provisions shall apply:

(A)Compensation paid to such Employee prior to the date of transfer shall be disregarded in determining the amount of the Employee’s benefit under Article 4 or 6, as applicable, unless the Employee is transferred from a position eligible to accrue benefits under Article 9 in which case Compensation paid to the Employee while covered by Article 9 shall be recognized in determining the Employee’s Average Compensation under Article 6, if applicable.

(B) For purposes of determining the amount of an Employee’s benefit under Article 4, 6 or 9, service rendered prior to the date the Employee became employed in a position eligible to accrue benefits under Article 4, 6 or 9 shall be disregarded in determining the Employee’s Credited Service under the applicable Article.

(C) Post-January 31, 2010 Transfers. An Employee who is transferred after January 31, 2010 from a position that is ineligible to accrue benefits under the provisions of Article 4, 6 or 9 to a position that is eligible to accrue benefits under Article 4 or 6 shall only be eligible to accrue benefits in accordance with Article 4 and any other benefits not specifically excluded in the preceding sentence.

(e) Transfers Involving a Non-U.S. Affiliated Company. Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Article 16, any period of employment with a non-U.S. Affiliated Company shall be recognized solely for the purpose of determining an Employee’s Vesting Years of Service under subparagraph (i) above [and for purposes of determining an Employee’s eligibility for benefits under subparagraph (ii)]. Such period of employment shall be excluded in determining the amount of a Participant’s benefit under paragraph (d) and any Compensation paid during such period of employment shall likewise be excluded. In the case of an Employee described in Section 2.01(h), any compensation paid by the non-U.S. Affiliated Company shall be excluded in determining the amount of his benefits under the Plan, and Average Compensation shall be determined pursuant to Section 1.06 by disregarding the Employee’s period of employment with the non-U.S. Affiliated Company.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this instrument to be executed by an officer duly authorized on this __ day of _______, 2019.
