|
(a)
|

of Beneficiary. If a Beneficiary dies after payments begin to the
Beneficiary, but before a total of 120 payments have been made
to the
Participant and the Beneficiary, the Actuarial Equivalent value
of any

estate.
|
(b)
|

|
(a)
|

a
Participant; or
|
(b)
|
in
the
case of an Employee who has been designated by the Board as an

officer, the date as of which his or her participation in the Plan
is
approved by the Human Resources Committee of the
Board.
|
(a)
|
his
or
her Separation from Service; or
|
(b)
|
a
declaration by the Committee that he or she is no longer eligible
to
participate in the Plan.
|
(a)
|
Eligibility.
A Participant who incurs a Separation from Service after attaining
age 65
or after attaining age 55 and completing at least 15 years of Vesting
Service shall be eligible for a retirement benefit under this section
4.1.
This retirement benefit shall be calculated as a Ten-Year Certain
and Life
Annuity payable at the time specified in subsection (d) or (f).
Except as otherwise provided in section 4.3, a Participant who incurs
a Separation from Service or who ceases to be an Employee before
attaining
age 65 or before attaining age 55 and completing 15 years of Vesting
Service shall not be entitled to any benefit under this
Plan.
|
(b)
|
Amount.
A Participant who is eligible for a retirement benefit under subsection
(a) shall be entitled to receive a benefit as of his or her Normal
Retirement Date equal to the difference between (1) and (2)
where—
|
(1)
|
is
the
benefit accrued through the commencement date determined under
this Plan
that would be payable to the Participant under the Pension Plan
as of his
or her Normal Retirement Date, calculated without regard to the
benefit
limits in effect under Code sections 401(a)(17) and 415;
and
|
(2)
|
is
the
benefit accrued through the commencement date determined under
this Plan
that would be payable to the Participant under the Pension Plan
as of his
or her Normal Retirement Date.
|
(c)
|
Early
Commencement. Except as otherwise provided in section 4.3, if
payment of a Participant’s retirement benefit commences or is paid before
his or her Normal Retirement Date, the benefit amount calculated
pursuant
to subsection (b) shall be reduced for early commencement in accordance
with the early retirement reduction factors applicable to calculation
of
the Participant’s benefit under the Pension
Plan.
|
(d)
|
Commencement
Date. Except as otherwise elected by a Participant pursuant
to
subsection (f), payment of a Participant’s retirement benefit shall
commence as of the first day of the month coinciding with or next
following the six-month anniversary of the Participant’s Separation from
Service. In any case where the payment of benefits is delayed pursuant
to
this subsection, the Participant’s retirement benefit shall be calculated
as of the first day of the month coinciding with or next following
the
Participant’s Separation from Service. The payments to which the
Participant would be entitled during the first six months after
his or her
Separation from Service shall be accumulated and paid to the Participant
as of the first day of the month coinciding with or next following
the
six-month anniversary of the Participant’s Separation from
Service.
|
(e)
|
Form
of Payment. Except as otherwise elected by a Participant pursuant
to subsection (f), benefits under this section shall be paid in the
form of a Ten-Year Certain and Life Annuity. In lieu of this form
of
payment, a Participant may elect to receive his or her benefit
in an
optional method of payment that is the Actuarial Equivalent of
the
Ten-Year Certain and Life Annuity. The optional forms of payment
shall be
a single life annuity option, a contingent annuity option, and
a lump sum
payment.
|
(1)
|
Single
Life Annuity Option. The single life annuity option is an annuity
providing equal monthly payments for the lifetime of the Participant
with
no survivor benefits.
|
(2)
|
Contingent
Annuity Option. The contingent annuity option is a reduced
monthly benefit payable to the Participant for life and to a surviving
named Beneficiary for the lifetime of the Beneficiary 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.
|
(3)
|
Lump
Sum Payment. A Participant may elect to receive his or her
benefit in a single lump sum.
|
(f)
|
Election
Procedures. A Participant may elect, at a time and in a manner
specified by the Committee, to receive benefits in an optional
form of
payment described in subsection (e) and as of a benefit commencement
date
that is one, two, three, four, or five years after the first day
of the
month coinciding with or next following his or her Separation from
Service. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, any election pursuant
to
this subsection shall be void if the Participant’s benefit commencement
date would be delayed later than the first day of the month coinciding
with or next following his 70th
birthday.
|
(1)
|
Elections
After Participation Begins. Except to the extent permitted under
regulations or other regulatory guidance issued under Code section
409A,
if a Participant makes any such election after he or she becomes
a
Participant—
|
(A)
|
the
election may not take effect until at least 12 months after the
date on
which the election is made;
|
(B)
|
the
first payment made pursuant to the election must be deferred for
a period
of five years from the date when the payment would otherwise have
been made; and
|
(C)
|
the
election may not be made less than 12 months before the date when
the
first payment was scheduled to be
paid.
|
(2)
|
Exceptions
to Election Restrictions. An election by a Participant shall not
be subject to the restrictions in paragraph (1)
if:
|
(A)
|
the
election is made prior to January 1, 2008 and the election does
not apply
to payments that the Participant would otherwise receive prior
to 2008 and
does not cause payments to be made prior to 2008;
or
|
(B)
|
the
Participant elects before his or her benefit commencement date
to change
from a Ten-Year Certain and Life Annuity described in section 2.18
or an
annuity form of payment described in subsection (e)(1) or (2) to
a
different annuity form of payment described in those
provisions.
|
(a)
|
Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, the benefits payable under the
Plan (both
benefits that have accrued at the time of a Change in Control and
those
that accrue thereafter) may not be reduced or terminated after
a Change in
Control for any individual who was a participant in the Plan at
the time
of the Change in Control.
|
(b)
|
Notwithstanding
anything in the Plan to the contrary, in the event a Change in
Control or
the “Pre-Change in Control Date” (as defined below) occurs, the Company
shall make a lump sum payment (“Payment”) to each Participant not
currently receiving benefits under the Plan on a date (the “Distribution
Date”) no later than two business days after the Change in Control has
occurred (or, if an agreement to effectuate a Change in Control
pursuant
to a Business Combination has been executed, on the date (the “Pre-Change
in Control Date”) that is the third business day prior to the date the
Chief Executive Officer of the Company believes in good faith will
be the
effective date of such Change in Control, but in any event prior
to the
effective date of such Change in
Control).
|
(1)
|
The
Payment shall be in an amount equal to the Actuarial Equivalent
present
value of the accrued benefit (the “Accrued Benefit”) under the Plan as of
the Distribution Date, calculated in accordance with paragraphs
(2)
through (5) below. For purposes of determining this present value
amount,
the mortality table specified under the Pension Plan and an interest
rate
of 4.2% shall be used.
|
(2)
|
If
a
Participant is age 65 or older as of the Distribution Date, the
Accrued
Benefit shall be converted to an Actuarially Equivalent lump sum
assuming
that such Participant retired on the Distribution Date and immediately
commenced receipt of the Accrued Benefit in the normal form of
benefit
under the Pension Plan.
|
(3)
|
If
a
Participant has not attained age 65 as of the Distribution Date,
but is at
least age 55, the Accrued Benefit shall be converted to an
Actuarially Equivalent lump sum assuming that such Participant
retired on
the Distribution Date, the Accrued Benefit was reduced for early
commencement using the reduction factors specified in the Pension
Plan
determined without regard to section 11.3(b) of the Pension Plan, and
such Participant immediately commenced receipt of such reduced
Accrued
Benefit in the normal form of benefit under the Pension
Plan.
|
(4)
|
If
a
Participant has not attained age 55 as of the Distribution Date,
the
Accrued Benefit shall first be converted to an Actuarially Equivalent
lump
sum assuming that such Participant was age 55 on the Distribution
Date,
the Accrued Benefit was reduced for early commencement using the
reduction
factors specified in the Pension Plan determined without regard
to
section 11.3(b) of the Pension Plan for a Participant retiring at age
55, and such Participant commenced receipt at age 55 of such reduced
Accrued Benefit in the normal form of benefit under the Pension
Plan. Such
Actuarially Equivalent lump sum shall then be further reduced from
age 55
to such Participant’s actual age as of the Distribution Date, using an
interest rate of 4.2 percent, but without any reduction for
mortality.
|
(5)
|
In
the
event the Plan is continued and not terminated following a Change
in
Control, any amount finally determined under section 4.1 of the
Plan upon
such Participant’s Separation from Service shall be offset by the amount
of the Accrued Benefit (as converted to the applicable form of
benefit)
determined under this section 4.3. To the extent that a Participant
is
entitled to an additional retirement benefit following a Change
in Control
as a result of continued employment with an Employer, such benefit
shall
be paid to the Participant in accordance with section
4.1.
|
(c)
|
For
purposes of the Plan, a “CIC Participant” is any Participant who
is:
|
(1)
|
a
party
to a Tier I change in control agreement (“CIC Agreement”) with the
Company, as determined under the standard policies and procedures
of the
Company;
|
(2)
|
becomes
entitled to a payment under and in accordance with Section 5(iv)
of the
standard form of CIC Agreement in effect for new agreements as
of
March 1, 2007, or any successor thereto, as a result of a termination
of employment as contemplated in such CIC Agreement;
and
|
(3)
|
at
the
time of such termination of employment has both attained at least
age 50
and been credited with not fewer than ten years of Vesting
Service.
|
(A)
|
The
CIC
Participant’s Payment under subsection (b) shall be recalculated as of the
date of Separation from Service as if that date were the date that
the
Change in Control occurred. For purposes of recalculating the Payment
to
the CIC Participant (and only for those purposes), the calculation
of
Accrued Benefits under section 4.1 of the Plan will be modified
by
crediting the CIC Participant with three additional years of age
and three
additional years of benefit service, in each case additional to
the CIC
Participant’s actual age and years of service at the date of Separation
from Service.
|
(B)
|
The
Initial Lump Sum paid shall be subtracted from the Payment as recalculated
pursuant to paragraph (A), without actuarial or other adjustment
for the
time value of the amount and timing of the Initial Lump Sum payment.
The
difference resulting from that subtraction is the 50/10 Enhancement
Lump
Sum. The 50/10 Enhancement Lump Sum amount cannot be less than
zero.
|
(a)
|
the
specific reasons for the denial;
|
(b)
|
a
specific reference to the Plan provisions on which the denial is
based;
|
(c)
|
a
description of any additional material or information necessary
for the
claimant to perfect the claim and an explanation of why this material
or
information is necessary;
|
(d)
|
an
explanation that a full and fair review by the Committee of the
decision
denying the claim may be requested by the claimant or an authorized
representative by filing with the Committee, within 60 days after the
notice has been received, a written request for review;
and
|
(e)
|
a
statement of the claimant’s right to bring a civil action under ERISA
section 502(a) following an adverse decision upon
review.
