or termination shall (without the written consent of the Participant, if living,
and if not, of the Participant’s Spouse or other applicable Beneficiary) reduce
the amount or delay the timing of payment of any retirement benefit, disability
benefit, or survivor benefit under the Plan which has accrued with respect to
the Participant or his Spouse or Beneficiary as of the date of such amendment or
termination (regardless of whether or not such benefit is vested under

as of the date of such amendment or termination.”
