(7) Exceptions. Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Paragraph C,

(a) the Administrator may cause the distribution of that portion of the
Supplemental Retirement Allowance that is the Grandfathered Supplemental
Retirement Allowance to any group of similarly situated Grandfathered Retired
Participants (or their Spouses or other Beneficiaries) in a Single Sum Payment
or as an Optional Payment; and

(b) the Administrator shall distribute that portion of a Retired Participant’s
Supplemental Retirement Allowance that is the Grandfathered Supplemental
Retirement Allowance in a Single Sum Payment if such portion of the Supplemental
Retirement Allowance payable in equal monthly payments is not more than $250 per
month.

(8) Actuarial Equivalents. Any Supplemental Survivor Allowance or Supplemental
Optional Payment Allowance payable under this Plan to any Spouse or other
Beneficiary commencing at an age other than the Retired Participant’s Normal
Retirement Age shall be the Actuarial Equivalent of the benefit payable pursuant
to the terms of the Plan in equal monthly payments for life commencing at the
Retired Participant’s Normal Retirement Age.

(9) Delayed Single Sum Payments. If any Single Sum Payment is made later than
the date otherwise specified in this Article II, C of the Plan and such late

shall be added to such Single Sum Payment.

D. REDUCTION OF BENEFITS

(1) Supplemental Retirement Allowance.

(a) The Supplemental Retirement Allowance payable to a Retired Participant shall
be reduced by the greater of:

(i) the Actuarial Equivalent of the benefits payable pursuant to any Other Plan
to the extent that service used to determine the amount of benefits payable from
such Other Plan is also used to calculate the amount of a Retired Participant’s
Supplemental Retirement Allowance under this Plan, or

(ii) the amount set forth in, or determined in accordance with, the
Participant’s designation as such pursuant to Article I, (dd) of the Plan,
assuming in each case that the Participant elected to receive such benefits in
equal monthly payments for his life;

(b) provided, however, that:

 

26

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

(i) in the event the Supplemental Retirement Allowance is paid to the Retired
Participant (or his beneficiary) in a Single Sum Payment prior to the Retired
Participant’s Benefit Commencement Date, such Supplemental Retirement Allowance
shall be computed in accordance with the applicable provisions of Article II, A
(1) of the Plan, as reasonably estimated by the Administrator, reduced by the
Actuarial Equivalent of the projected annual amount of benefits payable pursuant
to any Other Plan assuming that such benefits are payable to the Retired
Participant in equal monthly payments for life; and

(ii) in the event the benefit equalization retirement allowance under the
Benefit Equalization Plan is paid to the Retired Participant (or his Spouse or
other beneficiary) in a single sum payment (as defined in the Benefit
Equalization Plan) prior to the Retired Participant’s Benefit Commencement Date,
the amount of the reduction to the Participant’s Supplemental Retirement
Allowance shall be determined in good faith by the Administrator.

(2) Supplemental Survivor Allowance or Supplemental Survivor Income Benefit
Allowance. Any Supplemental Survivor Allowance or Supplemental Survivor Income
Benefit Allowance payable to the Spouse of a Deceased Participant or of a
Deceased Retired Participant pursuant to Article II, B of the Plan shall be
reduced by the Actuarial Equivalent of the maximum benefits for which the Spouse
was actually eligible under the Salaried Retirement Plan, the Benefit
Equalization Plan and the Survivor Income Benefit Plan assuming that the
Participant elected to receive a Retirement Allowance under the Salaried
Retirement Plan and a benefit equalization retirement allowance under the
Benefit Equalization Plan in equal monthly payments for the life of the Retired
Participant.

(3) Supplemental Optional Payment Allowance. Any Supplemental Optional Payment
Allowance payable to the Beneficiary of a Grandfathered Deceased Retired
Participant pursuant to Article II, B of the Plan shall be reduced by the
Actuarial Equivalent of the benefits payable pursuant to the Salaried Retirement
Plan and the Benefit Equalization Plan assuming that the Grandfathered Deceased
Retired Participant had elected to receive such benefits in equal monthly
payments for life.

(4) Employment Outside of United States. The Supplemental Retirement Allowance
of a Participant, who as a result of employment outside of the United States,
has benefits accrued to him under the social security, or similar laws, of a
country other than the United States may, in the discretion of the
Administrator, be reduced by the Actuarial Equivalent of such benefits, assuming
that such Participant elected to receive such benefits in equal monthly payments
for life.

(5) Prior Single Sum Payment. No benefits shall be payable to the Spouse or
other beneficiary of a Deceased Retired Participant pursuant to Article II, B of
the Plan, if prior to his death the Deceased Retired Participant received a
Single Sum Payment from this Plan or the Single Sum Payment is made after his
death to his Spouse or a beneficiary.

 

27

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

E. APPLICATION OR NOTIFICATION FOR PAYMENT OF ALLOWANCES:

(1) Notification of SMERP Benefit Payment Date. An application for retirement
pursuant to Article II, B of the Salaried Retirement Plan shall be deemed
notification to the Administrator of the SMERP Benefit Payment Date of a
Supplemental Retirement Allowance (or other benefit) in accordance with the
terms of this Plan.

(2) Notification of Beneficiary. In the event a Grandfathered Participant shall
not have elected an Optional Payment method with respect to that portion of his
Supplemental Retirement Allowance that is Grandfathered Supplemental Retirement
Allowance, the Grandfathered Participant may specify the Beneficiary to whom
payment of the Single Sum Payment shall be made in the event the Grandfathered
Participant dies after his Separation from Service, but prior to his SMERP
Benefit Payment Date. If no Beneficiary is specified, the Beneficiary shall be
the Participant’s Spouse, and if there is no Spouse, the Beneficiary shall be
the Grandfathered Participant’s estate.
