SIXTH AMENDMENT OF THE

 

ANTHEM 401(k) LONG TERM SAVINGS INVESTMENT PLAN

 

(AS LAST RESTATED EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1, 1997)

 

Pursuant to rights reserved under Article X of the Anthem 401(k) Long Term
Savings Investment Plan (the “Plan”), Anthem Insurance Companies, Inc. (the
“Company”) hereby amends the Plan as follows:

 

1. Effective January 1, 2004, Section 2.15 of the Plan is amended to provide, in
its entirety, as follows:

 

2.15   Compensation means for any Plan Year base salary, commissions, overtime
pay and cash bonuses actually received by a Participant for pay periods while
employed by the Employer. Compensation shall also include cash received from the
flexible benefits program and the amount of any elective deferrals the
Participant has authorized the Employer to make on his behalf under the plans
maintained by the Employer in accordance with Sections 125 and 401(k) of the
Code, elective amounts not includible in the gross income of the Participant by
reason of Section 132(f)(4) of the Code, cash out of accrued vacation pay or
paid time off for Terminated Participants, taxable car allowances, any taxable
non-cash remuneration, but shall exclude all other forms of compensation such as
imputed income, non-qualified deferred compensation, severance payments,
payments under the directed executive compensation program, income from the
exercise of qualified or non-qualified stock options payments under the
Company’s long-term incentive plan or similar items; provided, however,
effective January 31, 2004, that any payment under the Anthem Southeast 2003
Long-Term Incentive Plans (LTIP) Document to a Participant employed by Anthem
Health Plans of Virginia, Inc., is included as Compensation.

 

The Compensation of each Participant taken into account in determining
allocations for any Plan Year beginning after December 31, 2001, shall not
exceed $200,000, as adjusted for cost of living increases in accordance with
Section 401(a)(17)(B) of the Code. The

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

cost of living adjustment in effect for a calendar year applies to Compensation
for the determination period that begins with or within such calendar year.

 

For purposes of Sections 4.1 and 4.2, notwithstanding any provision in this Plan
to the contrary, for purposes of determining Before Tax Contributions and
Employer Matched Contributions for a Participant, Compensation shall include
such Participant’s Compensation during each pay period beginning with the Entry
Date coincident with or next following participation in the Plan pursuant to
Section 3.2; or if the individual elects to authorize Before Tax Contributions
to the Plan at a later date, the Participant’s Compensation during each pay
period beginning with the pay period with respect to which such election is
first effective.

 

No Participant shall be permitted to have elective deferrals made under this
Plan, or any other qualified plan maintained by the Employer during any taxable
year, in excess of the dollar limitation contained in Section 402(g) of the Code
in effect for such taxable year, except to the extent permitted under Section
4.1(a)(v) of the Plan and Section 414(v) of the Code, if applicable.

 

2. Effective January 1, 2003, a new Article XIV of the Plan is hereby added, to
provide, in its entirety, as follows:

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

14.2.   Time and Manner of Distribution.

 

    (a)   Required Beginning Date. The Participant’s or Former Participant’s
entire nonforfeitable interest will be distributed, or begin to be distributed,
to the Participant or Former Participant no later than the Participant’s or
Former Participant’s required beginning date.

 

    (b)   Death of Participant or Former Participant Before Distributions Begin.
If the Participant or Former Participant dies before distributions begin, the
Participant’s or Former Participant’s entire nonforfeitable interest will be
distributed, or begin to be distributed, no later than as follows:

 

  (i)   If the Participant’s or Former Participant’s surviving Spouse is the
Participant’s or Former Participant’s sole designated Beneficiary, then
distributions to the surviving Spouse will begin by December 31 of the calendar
year immediately following the calendar year in which the Participant or Former
Participant died, or by December 31 of the calendar year in which the
Participant or Former Participant would have attained age 70 1/2 , if later.

 

  (ii)   If the Participant’s or Former Participant’s surviving Spouse is not
the Participant’s or Former Participant’s sole designated Beneficiary, then
distributions to the designated Beneficiary will begin by December 31 of the
calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which the Participant
or Former Participant died.

 

  (iii)   If there is no designated Beneficiary as of September 30 of the year
following the year of the Participant’s or Former Participant’s death, the
Participant’s or Former Participant’s entire nonforfeitable interest will be
distributed by December 31 of the calendar year containing the fifth anniversary
of the Participant’s or Former Participant’s death.

 

  (iv)   If the Participant’s or Former Participant’s surviving Spouse is the
Participant’s or Former Participant’s sole designated Beneficiary and the
surviving Spouse dies after the Participant or Former Participant but before
distributions to the surviving Spouse begin, this Subsection 14.2(b), other than
Subsection 14.2(b)(i), will apply as if the surviving Spouse were the
Participant or Former Participant.

 

For purposes of this Subsection 14.2(b) and Section 14.4, unless Subsection
14.2(b)(iv) applies, distributions are considered to begin on the Participant’s
or Former Participant’s required beginning date. If Subsection 14.2(b)(iv)
applies, distributions are considered to begin on the date distributions are
required to begin to the surviving Spouse under Subsection 14.2(b)(i). If
distributions under an annuity purchased from an insurance company irrevocably
commence to the Participant or Former Participant before the Participant’s or
Former Participant’s required beginning date (or to the Participant’s or Former
Participant’s surviving

 

3

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

Spouse before the date distributions are required to begin to the surviving
Spouse under Subsection 14.2(b)(i)), the date distributions are considered to
begin is the date distributions actually commence.

 

  (c)   Forms of Distribution. Unless the Participant’s or Former Participant’s
interest is distributed in the form of an annuity purchased from an insurance
company or in a single sum on or before the required beginning date, as of the
first distribution calendar year distributions will be made in accordance with
Sections 14.3 and 14.4 of this Article. If the Participant’s or Former
Participant’s interest is distributed in the form of an annuity purchased from
an insurance company, distributions thereunder will be made in accordance with
the requirements of Section 401(a)(9) of the Code and the Treasury regulations.

 

14.3.   Required Minimum Distributions During Participant’s or Former
Participant’s Lifetime.

 

  (a)   Amount of Required Minimum Distribution For Each Distribution Calendar
Year. During the Participant’s or Former Participant’s lifetime, the minimum
amount that will be distributed for each distribution calendar year is the
lesser of:

 

  (i)   the quotient obtained by dividing the Participant’s or Former
Participant’s account balance by the distribution period in the Uniform Lifetime
Table set forth in Section 1.401(a)(9)-9 of the Treasury regulations, using the
Participant’s or Former Participant’s age as of the Participant’s or Former
Participant’s birthday in the distribution calendar year; or

 

  (ii)   if the Participant’s or Former Participant’s sole designated
Beneficiary for the distribution calendar year is the Participant’s or Former
Participant’s Spouse, the quotient obtained by dividing the Participant’s or
Former Participant’s account balance by the number in the Joint and Last
Survivor Table set forth in Section 1.401(a)(9)-9 of the Treasury regulations,
using the Participant’s or Former Participant’s and Spouse’s attained ages as of
the Participant’s or Former Participant’s and Spouse’s birthdays in the
distribution calendar year; provided, however, that under no circumstances shall
the distribution exceed the nonforfeitable portion of the Participant’s or
Former Participant’s account balance.

 

  (b)   Lifetime Required Minimum Distributions Continue Through Year of
Participant’s or FormerParticipant’s Death. Required minimum distributions will
be determined under this Section 14.3 beginning with the first distribution
calendar year and up to and including the distribution calendar year that
includes the Participant’s or Former Participant’s date of death.

 

14.4.   Required Minimum Distributions After Participant’s or Former
Participant’s Death.

 

  (a)   Death On or After Date Distributions Begin.

 

  (i)  

Participant or Former Participant Survived by Designated Beneficiary. If the
Participant or Former Participant dies on or after the date distributions

 

4

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

 

begin and there is a designated Beneficiary, the minimum amount that will be
distributed for each distribution calendar year after the year of the
Participant’s or Former Participant’s death is the quotient obtained by dividing
the Participant’s or Former Participant’s account balance by the longer of the
remaining life expectancy of the Participant (or Former Participant) or the
remaining life expectancy of the Participant’s or Former Participant’s
designated Beneficiary, determined as follows:

 

  (A) The Participant’s or Former Participant’s remaining life expectancy is
calculated using the age of the Participant or Former Participant in the year of
death, reduced by one for each subsequent year.

 

  (B) If the Participant’s or Former Participant’s surviving Spouse is the
Participant’s or Former Participant’s sole designated Beneficiary, the remaining
life expectancy of the surviving Spouse is calculated for each distribution
calendar year after the year of the Participant’s or Former Participant’s death
using the surviving Spouse’s age as of the Spouse’s birthday in that year. For
distribution calendar years after the year of the surviving Spouse’s death, the
remaining life expectancy of the surviving Spouse is calculated using the age of
the surviving Spouse as of the Spouse’s birthday in the calendar year of the
Spouse’s death, reduced by one for each subsequent calendar year.

 

  (C) If the Participant’s or Former Participant’s surviving Spouse is not the
Participant’s or Former Participant’s sole designated Beneficiary, the
designated Beneficiary’s remaining life expectancy is calculated using the age
of the Beneficiary in the year following the year of the Participant’s or Former
Participant’s death, reduced by one for each subsequent year.

 

  (ii)   No Designated Beneficiary. If the Participant or Former Participant
dies on or after the date distributions begin and there is no designated
Beneficiary as of September 30 of the year after the year of the Participant’s
or Former Participant’s death, the minimum amount that will be distributed for
each distribution calendar year after the year of the Participant’s or Former
Participant’s death is the quotient obtained by dividing the Participant’s or
Former Participant’s account balance by the Participant’s or Former
Participant’s remaining life expectancy calculated using the age of the
Participant or Former Participant in the year of death, reduced by one for each
subsequent year.

 

  (b)   Death Before Date Distributions Begin.

 

  (i)  

Participant or Former Participant Survived by Designated Beneficiary. If the
Participant or Former Participant dies before the date distributions

 

5

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

 

begin and there is a designated Beneficiary, the minimum amount that will be
distributed for each distribution calendar year after the year of the
Participant’s or Former Participant’s death is the quotient obtained by dividing
the Participant’s or Former Participant’s account balance by the remaining life
expectancy of the Participant’s or Former Participant’s designated Beneficiary,
determined as provided in Subsection 14.4(a).

 

  (ii)   No Designated Beneficiary. If the Participant or Former Participant
dies before the date distributions begin and there is no designated Beneficiary
as of September 30 of the year following the year of the Participant’s or Former
Participant’s death, distribution of the Participant’s or Former Participant’s
entire nonforfeitable interest will be completed by December 31 of the calendar
year containing the fifth anniversary of the Participant’s or Former
Participant’s death.

 

  (iii)   Death of Surviving Spouse Before Distributions to Surviving Spouse Are
Required to Begin. If the Participant or Former Participant dies before the date
distributions begin, the Participant’s or Former Participant’s surviving Spouse
is the Participant’s or Former Participant’s sole designated Beneficiary, and
the surviving Spouse dies before distributions are required to begin to the
surviving Spouse under Subsection 14.2(b)(i), this Subsection 14.4(b) will apply
as if the surviving Spouse were the Participant or Former Participant.

 

14.5.   Election to Apply 5-Year Rule to Distributions to Designated
Beneficiaries. If the Participant dies before distributions begin and there is a
designated Beneficiary and notwithstanding anything contained in this Article to
the contrary, distribution to the designated Beneficiary is not required to
begin by the date specified in Section 14.2(b) of Article XIV of the Plan, but
the Participant’s entire nonforfeitable interest will be distributed to the
designated Beneficiary by December 31 of the calendar year containing the fifth
anniversary of the Participant’s death. If the Participant’s surviving Spouse is
the Participant’s sole designated Beneficiary and the surviving Spouse dies
after the Participant but before distributions to either the Participant or the
surviving Spouse begin, this election will apply as if the surviving Spouse were
the Participant. This election will apply to all distributions.

 

14.6.   Definitions.

 

    (a)   Designated Beneficiary. The individual who is designated as the
Beneficiary under Section 6.8 of the Plan and is the designated Beneficiary
under Section 401(a)(9) of the Code and Section 1.401(a)(9)-1, Q&A-4, 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
or Former Participant’s death, the first distribution calendar year is the
calendar year immediately preceding the calendar year which contains the
Participant’s or

 

6

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

 

Former Participant’s required beginning date. For distributions beginning after
the Participant’s or Former Participant’s death, the first distribution calendar
year is the calendar year in which distributions are required to begin under
Section 14.2(b). The required minimum distribution for the Participant’s or
Former Participant’s first distribution calendar year will be made on or before
the Participant’s or Former Participant’s required beginning date. The required
minimum distribution for other distribution calendar years, including the
required minimum distribution for the distribution calendar year in which the
Participant’s or Former Participant’s required beginning date occurs, will be
made on or before December 31 of that distribution calendar year.

 

  (c)   Life expectancy. Life expectancy as computed by use of the Single Life
Table in Section 1.401(a)(9)-9 of the Treasury regulations.

 

  (d)   Participant’s or Former Participant’s account balance. The balance of
that Participant’s (or Former Participant’s) Accounts as of the last Valuation
Date in the calendar year immediately preceding the distribution calendar year
(valuation calendar year) increased by the amount of any contributions made and
allocated or forfeitures allocated to the balance in that Participant’s Accounts
as of dates in the valuation calendar year after the Valuation Date and
decreased by distributions made in the valuation calendar year after the
Valuation Date. The “account balance” for the valuation calendar year includes
any amounts rolled over or transferred to the Plan either in the valuation
calendar year or in the distribution calendar year if distributed or transferred
in the valuation calendar year.
