EXHIBIT 10.42
KELLOGG COMPANY
EXECUTIVE SURVIVOR INCOME PLAN
(As Amended and Restated Effective January 1, 2004)
ARTICLE 1
HISTORY, PURPOSE AND EFFECTIVE DATE
     The Kellogg Company Executive Survivor Income Plan (“Plan”) was established
by Kellogg Company (“Company”) effective November 1, 1985 to provide survivor
benefits to the beneficiaries of certain executives of the Company. The Plan has
been amended from time to time since that date. The following provisions
constitute an amendment and restatement of the Plan, generally effective
January 1, 2004, unless a different effective date is specified herein.
ARTICLE 2
ELIGIBILITY
     Effective July 1, 2002, all Senior Executives of the Company shall be
eligible to participate in the Plan and become “Participants” hereunder. The
Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer shall have the sole authority and
discretion to designate any officer or executive of the Company as a “Senior
Executive” for purposes of this Plan, and to revise such designation. Generally,
only employees in a level 8 position or above may be designated as Senior
Executives, although the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer may designate an
employee in a lower level position as a Senior Executive, if he determines, in
his sole discretion, that circumstances warrant such a designation.
ARTICLE 3
PARTICIPATION
     3.1. Commencement of Participation. A Senior Executive’s participation in
the Plan commences immediately upon such individual meeting the eligibility
standards set forth in Article 2. Employees who met the eligibility standards
prior to July 1, 2002 but are not classified

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

as Senior Executives after that date shall continue to be eligible to
participate in the Plan in accordance with the provisions of this Article 2 and
Article 3.
     3.2. Effect of Termination of Employment on Participation. Participation in
the Plan will continue until the first to occur of the following:

  1.   If the Participant became eligible to participate in the Plan prior to
April 1, 2001, and the Participant’s employment with the Company and its
affiliates terminates for any reason other than death or Retirement, the
Participant’s participation in the Plan shall cease on such termination of
employment. In such an event, no benefits will be payable under the Plan to any
person.     2.   If the Participant became eligible to participate in the Plan
on or after April 1, 2001, participation will cease on the Participant’s
termination of the employment with the Company and its affiliates for any reason
other than death. In such an event, no benefits will be payable under the Plan
to any person.     3.   If the Participant became eligible to participate in the
Plan prior to April 1, 2001 and the Participant’s employment with the Company
and its affiliates terminates by reason of Retirement (defined below) or death,
then following the Participant’s death, the Participant’s beneficiary shall be
eligible for the benefits set forth in Article 4.     4.   If the Participant
became eligible to participate in the Plan on or after April 1, 2001, the
Participant’s beneficiary shall be eligible for the benefits set forth in
Article 4 if the Participant’s termination of employment with the Company and
its affiliates occurs by reason of the Participant’s death.

2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

     For purposes of the Plan, the term “Retirement” means that an eligible
Participant terminates employment with the Company and its affiliates after
satisfying one of the following requirements on or before January 1, 2014:

  (a)   Age 55 with 20 years of service     (b)   Age 62 with 5 years of service
    (c)   Age 65 with any number of years of service
    (d)   Any age with 30 years of service

     A Participant’s “years of service” for purposes of the foregoing
requirements shall be determined consistent with the provisions of the Kellogg
Company Pension Plan.
     A Participant may terminate his or her participation in the Plan at any
time, provided that the Participant gives prior notice to the Company of the
election not to participate.
     A Company-approved leave of absence will not be deemed a termination of
employment under this Plan during the period of such leave, unless either the
Participant agrees to a cessation of participation under such leave of absence,
or the Company notifies the Participant in writing before the leave that
participation in the Plan will not be extended.
     3.3. Change in Classification. A Participant who ceases to be designated as
a Senior Executive shall continue to be eligible for the benefits provided to
Senior Executives under the Plan until the Participant’s participation in the
Plan terminates pursuant to Section 3.2. Similarly, if a Participant who was
eligible to participate in the Plan prior to July 1, 2002 and who was an Officer
of the Company prior to that date ceases to be an Officer of the Company, such
Participant shall continue to be eligible for the benefits provided to Officers
prior to July 1, 2002 under the Plan until such Participant’s participation in
the Plan terminates pursuant to Section 3.2. For purposes of the Plan, the term
“Officer” shall mean the employees designated as officers of the Company by the
Board of Directors of the Company.

3

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

     3.4. Rehires. If a Participant who terminates employment with the Company
and affiliates ceases to be a Participant in the Plan by reason of such
termination and is later rehired, such individual shall not be a Participant in
the Plan for periods on or after his or her rehire date unless and until such
employee again satisfies the requirements for participation under Section 3.1.
ARTICLE 4
BENEFITS
     4.1. Amount of Benefit. The Company may, in its discretion, establish
different benefit levels for different classes of Participants. As of the
effective date of this amendment and restatement, and subject to the provisions
of Section 3.2, the following benefits are provided under the Plan with respect
to Participants who are active employees of the Company and its affiliates as of
January 1, 2004:

  1.   A Participant who either (i) is a Senior Executive on or after July 1,
2002, or (ii) was an Officer of the Company prior to July 1, 2002, shall be
eligible for a benefit equal to three (3) times Compensation if such
Participant’s termination of employment with the Company and affiliates occurs
by reason of death.     2.   An individual who was a Participant in the Plan
prior to July 1, 2002 and who does not satisfy the requirements of paragraph 1
next above shall be eligible for a benefit equal to two (2) times Compensation
if such Participant’s termination of employment with the Company and affiliates
occurs by reason of death.     3.   A Participant in the Plan whose
participation in the Plan continues following Retirement pursuant to Section 3.2
and whose death occurs after such Retirement shall be eligible for a benefit
equal to one (1) times Compensation.

4

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

In addition to the foregoing, a Participant who was an active Participant in the
Plan prior to April 1, 2001 and whose retirement (determined in accordance with
the terms of the Plan as in effect at the time of the Participant’s termination
of employment) occurred prior to January 1, 2004, shall be eligible for the same
benefit the Participant was entitled to as an active employee, determined in
accordance with the terms of the Plan as in effect on such Participant’s
retirement date.
The Company reserves the sole discretion to otherwise increase or decrease the
benefits under this Plan, provided that there shall be no increase or decrease
of a benefit payable to a beneficiary of a Participant who has died prior to the
Company making a change in the benefit level under this Plan.
     4.2. Definition of Compensation. For purposes of the Plan, “Compensation”
shall mean the following:

  1.   In the case of a Participant who dies prior to termination of employment
with the Company and affiliates, Compensation means the Participant’s annual
base salary as in effect for the year in which the Participant’s death occurs,
plus the bonus paid, if any, for the last full year preceding the date of the
Participant’s death.     2.   In the case of a Participant whose termination of
employment with the Company and affiliates occurs by reason of Retirement and
who remains eligible for benefits under the Plan following such Retirement
pursuant to Section 3.2, Compensation shall be determined by substituting the
date of the Participant’s Retirement for the date of the Participant’s death
under paragraphs 1 and 2 next above, as applicable.     3.   Notwithstanding the
foregoing provisions of this Section 4.2, in the case of a Participant whose
Compensation during any year of Plan participation would be greater than the
amount determined above if

5

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

      such Compensation had been calculated as of the last day of such year
(i.e., as if the Participant had terminated employment or died on the last of
such year), the Company, in its discretion, may elect to base the Participant’s
Plan benefits on such higher amount of Compensation.

     4.3. Payment of Benefits. Payments to a beneficiary will be made as a lump
sum within a reasonable period after the Participant’s death, unless the
Participant elects of one of the following alternative options:

  1.   Benefits paid to the Participant’s designated beneficiary in one hundred
twenty (120) equal monthly installments, with the monthly amount being
determined by multiplying the total benefit amount by 1.25 percent.     2.  
Benefits paid to the Participant’s designated beneficiary in sixty (60) equal
monthly installments, with the monthly amount being determined by multiplying
the total benefit amount by 2.0 percent.

     Any election of an alternative form of payment must be made at the time and
in the form specified by the Company and will only be valid if filed with the
Company prior to the Participant’s death.
     4.4. Designation of Beneficiary. The beneficiary under this Plan shall be
the beneficiary last designated by the Participant under the Company’s group
term life insurance plan unless the Participant notifies the Company of the
designation of a different beneficiary for purposes of this Plan. Should the
designated beneficiary or beneficiaries not survive the Participant, and
benefits become payable under this Plan, said benefits shall be paid in a
lump-sum payment to the Participant’s estate. Should a surviving beneficiary who
is entitled to payment(s) under this Plan die before the benefit is fully paid,
a lump-sum payment equal to the present value of the remainder of the benefit
shall be paid to that beneficiary’s estate.

6

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

     4.5. Form of Payment. All benefits under the plan are payable in United
States Dollars ($). Payment in any other currency may be made only with the
approval of the Company.
     4.6. No Conversion Rights. There are no conversion rights to benefits
provided by this Plan.
ARTICLE 5
FUNDING
     A Participant shall not be required to contribute toward the cost of the
survivor benefits provided under this Plan. Plan benefits shall be paid solely
from the general assets of the Company. This Plan does not involve salary
reduction and in no way affects the past, present, or future compensation of any
Participant.
     The benefits under this Plan are inalienable and not subject to assignment,
pledge, encumbrance, seizure, attachment, or any other legal or equitable
liability of any Participant or any beneficiary. The Company’s obligations under
this Plan will not be secured in any way and any claims arising hereunder shall
have no priority over the claims of the general creditors of the Company.
     No Participant or beneficiary shall have any right, title, or interest in
any asset of the Company which has been designated or segregated for purposes of
funding the benefits under this Plan. The Company may or may not, in its
discretion, purchase life insurance on the life of the Participant to partially
or wholly fund the cost of the survivor income benefit. In the event such
policies are purchased, the Company shall be the sole owner and beneficiary of
such insurance policy and a Participant or beneficiary shall have no right,
title, or interest in any such policy.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

ARTICLE 6
TERMINATION OR MODIFICATION
     The Company reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan at any time;
provided, however, no such amendment or termination shall impair any benefits
payable to a beneficiary with respect to a Participant who has died prior to
such amendment or termination.
ARTICLE 7
ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN
     7.1. Committee Duties and Authority. The Kellogg Company ERISA
Administrative Committee (“Committee”) shall administer the Plan and is
authorized to make such rules and regulations as it may deem necessary and
proper to carry out the provisions of the Plan and to designate actuaries,
attorneys, accountants, and such other persons as it shall deem necessary or
desirable in the administration of the Plan. The Committee shall consider any
question arising in the administration, interpretation, and application of the
Plan; and its determination on said question shall be conclusive and binding on
all persons.
     The Committee shall act by the majority of members then in office at all
meetings and may set up a procedure to act upon matters by vote in writing
without a meeting. The Committee, by unanimous written consent, may authorize
one (1) or more of its members to sign directions, communications, and to
execute documents on behalf of the Committee.
     7.2. Claims Procedures. A beneficiary of a Participant (a “Claimant”) may
submit his or her claim for benefits to the Committee (or such other person or
persons as may be designated by the Committee) in accordance with the following:

  1.   Initial Claim. Such claim shall be in writing or made telephonically, in
such form as is provided or approved by the Committee. A Claimant shall have no
right to seek review of a denial of benefit, or to bring any action

8

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

      in any court to enforce a claim for benefits under the Plan, prior to
filing a claim and exhausting his or her rights to review under this
Section 7.2. When a claim for benefits has been filed properly, such claim shall
be evaluated and the Claimant shall be notified of the approval or the denial
within ninety (90) days after the receipt of such claim unless special
circumstances require an extension of time for processing the claim. If such an
extension of time is required, written notice of the extension shall be
furnished to the Claimant prior to the termination of the initial ninety
(90) day period which shall specify the special circumstances requiring an
extension and the date by which a final decision will be reached (which date
shall not be later than one hundred and eighty (180) days after the date on
which the claim was filed). A Claimant shall be given a written or electronic
notice in which the Claimant shall be advised as to whether the claim is granted
or denied, in whole or in part. If a claim is denied, in whole or in part, such
notice shall contain (i) the specific reasons for the denial, (ii) references to
the Plan provisions on which the denial is based, (iii) a description of any
additional material or information necessary to perfect the claim and an
explanation of why such material or information is necessary, (iv) the
Claimant’s right to seek review of the denial, and (v) the Claimant’s right to
bring a civil action under Section 502(a) of the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”) following an adverse benefit determination on
review.

9

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

  2.   Review of Claim Denial. If a claim is denied, in whole or in part (if the
Claimant has not received an approval or denial within the time periods
specified in paragraph (a) above, the claim shall be deemed denied), the
Claimant shall have the right to request that the Committee review the denial,
provided that the Claimant files a written request for review with the Committee
within sixty (60) days after the date on which the Claimant receives
notification of the denial or the date the claim is deemed denied. A claimant
(or his or her duly authorized representative) may review pertinent documents
and submit issues and comments in writing to the Committee. Within sixty
(60) days after a request for review is received, the review shall be made and
the Claimant shall be advised in writing or electronically of the decision on
review, unless special circumstances require an extension of time for processing
the review, in which case the Claimant shall be given written notification
within such initial sixty (60) day period specifying the reason for the
extension and when such review shall be completed (provided that such review
shall be completed within one hundred and twenty (120) days after the date on
which the request for review was filed). The decision on review shall be
forwarded to the Claimant in writing or electronically and shall include
specific reasons for the decision, references to Plan provisions upon which the
decision is based, a statement of the Claimant’s right to receive free of charge
copies of all documents relevant to the claim, and the Claimant’s right to file
a civil action under Section 502(a) of ERISA. A decision on review is final

10

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

      and binding for all purposes. If a Claimant fails to file a request for
review in accordance with the procedures described in this Section 7.2, such
Claimant shall have no right to review and shall have no right to bring action
in any court and the denial of the claim shall become final and binding on all
persons for all purposes.
