By /s/ Nelson N. S. Chun ------------------------------ Its Senior Vice President By /s/ Alyson J. Nakamura ------------------------------ Its Secretary APPENDIX A Participants Referred to in Section 2.25 --------------------------- 1. R. F. Cameron 2. R. J. Donohue 3. F. L. Fleischmann 4. G. Y. Nakamatsu 5. R. H. Rothman APPENDIX B Rules For Determining Actuarial Equivalent ------------------------------------------ When the terms of this Plan require the determination of a lump sum payment which is the Actuarial Equivalent of any other benefit provided by this Plan, the following rules shall apply to the calculation of such lump sum payment: 1. The mortality table used shall be the mortality table then in use by the A&B Retirement Plan for the purpose of determining lump sum payments to participants of such plan who are entitled to such payments. 2. The discount rate shall be the after-tax equivalent of the discount rate then in use by the A&B Retirement Plan for the purpose of determining lump sum payments to participants of such plan who are entitled to such payments. The after-tax equivalent rate shall be determined by multiplying discount rate in use by the A&B Retirement Plan by the excess of 100% over the tax effected marginal tax rate declared by the Committee. 3. The Committee shall declare the tax effected marginal tax rate at the beginning of each calendar year. 4. The tax effected marginal tax rate shall apply to lump sum payments made at any time during such calendar year and may not be changed during the year. 5. The value of the benefit to a Surviving Spouse which is included in a Participant's Retirement Income shall be included in the calculation of the lump sum payment to which the Participant is entitled. Unless stated otherwise, the benefit to the Surviving Spouse shall be deemed to apply only if the death of the Participant occurs on or after the date the Retirement Income is deemed to commence under the terms of the provision giving rise to the Participant's right to a lump sum payment. 6. If the terms of the Plan provide for a benefit such that if it were paid as a monthly benefit it could have commenced at more that one future date, then for purposes of calculating the lump sum that is the Actuarial Equivalent of such benefit, it shall be deemed that the benefit would have commenced at the earliest possible date. 7. The early retirement reduction factors, if any, used to calculate the lump sum which is the Actuarial Equivalent of the benefit provided by the provisions of Section 4.06 as a result of a Change of Control, shall be the factors applicable to Participants of the A&B Retirement Plan who terminate employment after attaining eligibility for early retirement regardless of the Participant's age as of the Change of Control date. APPENDIX C Rules for the Offset of Benefits Described in Article IV -------------------------------------------------------- 1. Any increase in Other Benefits which occur after termination of employment or retirement shall not be taken into account. 2. In the case of a Participant who is not married at the time benefits are deemed to commence under this Plan, Other Benefits shall be determined as though such payments were made in the form of a straight life annuity. 3. In the case of a Participant who is married at the time a lump sum benefit is payable under this Plan, Other Benefits shall be determined as though such payments were made in the form of joint and 50% survivor form of payment with his or her spouse designated as the contingent annuitant. 4. It shall be assumed that Other Benefit payments (whether or not in payment status) commence under such other plans of the same date benefits commence under this Plan. In all cases, the provisions of the A&B Retirement Plan shall be used to determine the adjustment made to the Other Benefits for commencement prior to a Participant' Normal Retirement Date or to determine the equivalent joint and 50% survivor amount.
