			Appvion, Inc. (the “Company”) established the Appvion, Inc. Retirement Plan (prior to May 10, 2013, the “Appleton Papers Inc.

			The Plan, as amended through March 9, 2011, was the subject of a favorable determination letter of the Internal Revenue Service which considered the requirements of the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001 (“EGTRRA”), with effect from January 1, 2002, and subsequent amendments required by the 2008 Cumulative List of Changes in Plan Qualification Requirements (IRS Notice 2008-108, applicable by Cycle D plans).  The letter was issued on December 1, 2010 and expired on January 31, 2015.
		

		
			The Plan is now further amended and restated, effective January 1, 2015, except as otherwise provided herein, to incorporate amendments previously made to the Plan and to clarify the Plan’s distribution provisions, to conform to the requirements of the Pension Protection Act of 2006, the Heroes Earnings Assistance and Relief Tax Act of 2008, the Workers, Retiree and Employer Recovery Act of 2008 and subsequent amendments required by the 2013 Cumulative List of Changes in Plan Qualification Requirements (IRS Notice 2013-84, applicable by Cycle D plans).

				 (6)
			

			
	
			
			Layoff:  Each regularly scheduled working hour during a period not to exceed one year in which the employee is absent from employment with the Company as a result of layoff (whether paid or unpaid), reduced by any such hours which are credited as Hours of Service under paragraph (2) above. Hours of Service credited under this paragraph (6) with respect to any period of layoff shall be disregarded if the employee fails to return to the employ of the Company within two weeks of the date of any recall from such layoff.




			
	
			
				 (7)
			

			
	
			
			Long-Term Disability:  To the extent not disregarded in accordance with Section 5.04(d), each regularly scheduled working hour during a period of Disability, as defined in Section 1.12, reduced by any such hours which are credited as Hours of Service under either paragraphs (2) or (4) above.

			Determinations by Plan Administrator.




			
	
			
				 (a)
			

			
	
			
			The Plan Administrator has the power and final authority (and sole discretion with respect to such power and authority) to determine the Hours of Service of any individual for all purposes of the Plan, and to that end may adopt such rules, presumptions and procedures permitted by law as it deems appropriate or desirable.




			
	
			
				 (b)
			

			
	
			
			Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Plan Administrator may provide that the hours of regularly scheduled working time to be credited under Section 4.01(a)(2) and (3) to an employee without a regular work schedule will be determined on the basis of a 40-hour work week or an 8-hour work day or on any other reasonable basis which reflects the average hours worked by the employee or by other employees in the same job classification over a representative period of time, provided that the basis so used is consistently applied with respect to all employees within the same job classification, reasonably defined.




			
	
			
				 4.03

For this purpose completed months in excess of the number of such full years will be converted to tenths of years by crediting 1/12 of a year for each such month and then rounding up to the nearest tenth of a year.




			
	
			
				 (2)
			

			
	
			
			On and After January 1, 1976:  He will be credited with 1 year of Vesting Service for each Plan Year beginning on or after January 1, 1976 in which he has at least 1,000 Hours of Service (whether before or after the date he became a Participant).




			
	
			
				 (3)
			

			
	
			
			Former NCR Participants:  A person who was a Participant in the NCR Plan on June 30, 1978 and who becomes a Participant under this Plan as of July 1, 1978 shall be credited with Vesting Service as of July 1, 1978 at least equal to his “Years of Service” through June 30, 1978 as credited for vesting purposes under the NCR Plan as in effect on such date.




			
	
			
				 (b)
			

			
	
			
			Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Participant’s Vesting Service shall not include any period of Vesting Service which was or would be lost as of December 31, 1984 under the provisions of Section 4.05 of the Plan as then in effect.




			
	
			
				 (c)

				 (d)
			

			
	
			
			For purposes of subsection (e) below, the following definitions shall apply:




			
	
			
				 (1)
			

			
	
			
			Full-Time Employee:  The term “Full-Time Employee” means an Eligible Employee who, at the time of reference, (A) is employed by the Company in Full-Time Employment or (B) is employed by an Affiliate (i) in employment covered by a retirement plan that determines his vesting service under the elapsed time method or (ii) in Full-Time Employment other than employment covered under a retirement plan that determines his vesting service on the basis of computation periods.




			
	
			
				 (2)
			

			
	
			
			Full-Time Employment:  The term “Full-Time Employment” means employment that is customarily for not less than 1,000 hours per year, including vacations and holidays and periods of authorized absence not in excess of 24 consecutive months.




			
	
			
				 (3)
			

			
	
			
			Part-Time Employee:  The term “Part-Time Employee” means an Eligible Employee of the Company or an Affiliate who is not employed in Full-Time Employment at the time of reference.




			
	
			
				 (4)
			

			
	
			
			Service:  The term “Service” means the aggregate of (A) each period from an Eligible Employee’s Employment Date (or the day on which an employee first completes an Hour of Service described in Section 4.01(a)(1) after a Severance Date) to his next Severance Date and (B) if an employee shall perform an Hour of Service within twelve (12) months after a Severance Date (or, if such Severance Date occurs during a period of continued absence, within twelve (12) months after the first day of such absence), the period from such Severance Date (or from the first day of absence) to such Hour of Service.

				 (e)
			

			
	
			
			Subject to the further provisions of this Article 4, if a Participant is a Full-Time Employee at any time on or after December 31, 1988, his Vesting Service as used in Sections 4.05 and 5.05 shall be, for purposes of vesting under Section 5.05, the sum of his Vesting Service for periods prior to January 1, 1988 (and for service as a Part-Time Employee on and after January 1, 1988) as determined under subsection (a) above, and the number of years determined by aggregating all periods of Service on and after January 1, 1988 attributable to service as a Full-Time Employee, exclusive of periods that may be disregarded under Section 4.05 (and subsection (a) above shall not apply). For purposes of aggregating periods of service, (i) less than whole-year periods shall be aggregated on the basis that twelve (12) months or three hundred and sixty-five (365) days equal a whole year, and (ii) in aggregating days into months, thirty (30) days shall be deemed to be a month. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this subsection (e), a Full-Time Employee who has at least 1,000 Hours of Service in the Plan Year beginning January 1, 1988 will be credited with a year of Vesting Service, in total, for that Plan Year.




			
	
			
				 (f)
			

			
	
			
			Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Participant’s Vesting Service shall not include any period of Vesting Service which was or would be lost as of December 31, 1988 under the provisions of Section 4.05 of the Plan as in effect on December 30, 1988.




			
	
			
				 (g)
			

			
	
			
			In the event the employee changes from a Part-Time Employee to a Full-Time Employee or from a Full-Time Employee to a Part-Time Employee, the above provisions of this Section 4.03, and the provisions of Section 4.05, shall apply in accordance with Section 4.08.




			
	
			
				 4.04
			

			
	
			
			Benefit Service.




			
	
			
				 (a)
			

			
	
			
			Subject to the further provisions of this Article 4, a Participant shall receive Benefit Service as follows:




			
	
			
				 (1)
			

			
	
			
			Prior to January 1, 1976:  Benefit Service prior to January 1, 1976 will be the number of full years and fractions of a year in completed months of “Continuous Service,” as defined in the Plan immediately prior to January 1, 1976, except that years for which a Participant was eligible to participate in the former Combined Locks Profit Sharing Plan but for which he elected not to participate shall not be counted. For purposes of this Paragraph (1), completed months in excess of the number of such full years will be converted to tenths of years by crediting 1/12 of a year for each such month and rounding up to the nearest tenth of a year.




			
	
			
				 (2)
			

			
	
			
			On and After January 1, 1976:  For Plan Years beginning on or after January 1, 1976, Benefit Service will be granted to each Participant on the basis of his total Hours of Service during such year and prior to his Normal Retirement Date which are attributable to employment as an Eligible Employee (“Eligible Hours”). For this purpose, Hours of Service credited for periods of absence from employment which immediately follow employment as an Eligible Employee shall be deemed to be attributable to employment as an Eligible Employee. If the Participant’s regularly scheduled work week throughout such Plan Year is at least 40 hours, he will be credited with one year of Benefit Service for each such Plan Year during which he completes at least 2,000 Eligible Hours. If the Participant’s regularly scheduled work week is not at least 40 hours throughout such year, he will be credited with one year of Benefit Service for each such Plan Year during 
		

		 


		

			 

		


		

			EAST\83473092.3

		


		

			16

		






 


		

			 

		




			which he completes the number of Eligible Hours determined in accordance with the following formula:




		
			(2,000 x Hours in Regularly Scheduled Work Week)
		

		
			40
		

		
			In addition, for any such Plan Year during which the Participant completes less than the Eligible Hours required for a full year of Benefit Service, a fraction of a year of Benefit Service will be credited based on the ratio of his actual Eligible Hours during such Plan Year to the number of Eligible Hours so required for a full year of Benefit Service, rounded up to the nearest tenth.
		

			
	
			
				 (3)
			

			
	
			
			Pre-1976 Service.  An employee who is a Participant in the Plan as of January 1, 2002, and who thereafter retires or terminates employment with the Company with a vested accrued benefit (determined without regard to periods of employment prior to January 1, 1976), shall be granted Benefit Service for periods of employment prior to 1976, but only to the extent not already included in the Participant’s accrued benefit.  Such periods of employment shall be recognized as Benefit Service pursuant to the rules of Section 4.04 (a)(1) hereof, except that such service need not be “Continuous” in order to qualify as such.




			
	
			
				 (b)
			

			
	
			
			A Person who was a “Participant” in the NCR Plan on or before June 30, 1978 and who transferred directly to service as a Participant under this Plan on or before July 1, 1978 shall be credited with Benefit Service for the period up to the date of transfer at least equal to the years of “Benefit Service” standing to his credit under the NCR Plan as of such date.




			
	
			
				 (c)
			

			
	
			
			Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Benefit Service shall be credited to a Pre-1988 Retiree with respect to any period after his Normal Retirement Date.




			
	
			
				 (d)
			

			
	
			
			Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Participant’s Benefit Service shall not include any period of Benefit Service which was or would be lost as of December 31, 1984 under the provisions of Section 4.05 of the Plan as then in effect.




			
	
			
				 (e)
			

			
	
			
			Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary (including, without limitation, any Appendix or Supplement to the Plan applicable to Eligible Employees), Benefit Service shall not include any Hours of Service performed after:




			
	
			
				 (1)
			

			
	
			
			April 1, 2008, in the case of a Participant who has made the election referred to in Section 2.05(a); or




			
	
			
				 (2)
			

			
	
			
			March 1, 2011, in the case of any other Participant.




			
	
			
				 4.05
			

			
	
			
			Service Prior to a Break in Service.




			
	
			
				 (a)
			

			
	
			
			Except as provided in subsection (b), if an employee with no vested rights under the Plan incurs five (5) consecutive Breaks in Service, and if the number of consecutive Plan Years constituting Breaks in Service equals or exceeds the employee’s aggregate number of years of Vesting Service as of the first such Break in Service, all of his Benefit Service and Vesting Service prior to such first Break in Service will be forever lost and forfeited, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Plan.




		 


		

			 

		


		

			EAST\83473092.3

		


		

			17

		




 


		

			 

		




			
	
			
				 (b)
			

			
	
			
			If an employee with no vested rights under the Plan incurs a Severance Date on or after December 31, 1988 while a Full-Time Employee, the rules of this subsection (b) will govern in lieu of the rules of subsection (a).  If such an employee incurs an Elapsed Time Break in Service and the length of the Elapsed Time Break in Service equals or exceeds the greater of (i) five years or (ii) the employee’s aggregate number of years of Vesting Service (determined after giving effect to Section 4.03(e)) as of the Elapsed Time Break in Service, all of his Benefit Service and Vesting Service prior to the Break in Service will be forever lost and forfeited, notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan.




			
	
			
				 (c)
			

			
	
			
			The term “Elapsed Time Break in Service” means a Severance Period of not less than 12 consecutive months. In the case of an individual who is absent from work for maternity or paternity reasons (as defined in Section 1.07), no portion of the first 12-consecutive month period of such absence shall count in determining the length of an Elapsed Time Break in Service. The term “Severance Period” means each period from an employee’s Severance Date to the next day on which the employee completes an Hour of Service described in Section 4.01(a)(1), excluding any period prior to January 1, 1989 in a Plan Year in which the employee had more than 500 Hours of Service.




			
	
			
				 (d)
			

			
	
			
			The aggregate number of years of Vesting Service otherwise determined in accordance with the above provisions of this Section 4.05 shall not include any years of Vesting Service previously disregarded under the Break in Service rules of this Section 4.05 (or under Section 4.05 of the Plan as previously in effect).




			
	
			
				 4.06
			

			
	
			
			Minimum Service Requirement Upon Reemployment.  If an employee has a Break in Service, all of his years of Vesting Service and of Benefit Service will be lost and disregarded for all purposes of the Plan until he shall comply with the provisions of Section 2.02. However, nothing in this Section 4.06 will deprive the employee of any benefits in which he was vested at the time he incurred such Break in Service.




			
	
			
				 4.07
			

			
	
			
			Service with Affiliates, etc.




			
	
			
				 (a)
			

			
	
			
			If an employee is transferred to employment with an Affiliate, or to employment with the Company other than as an Eligible Employee, he will not be deemed to have terminated employment for purposes of this Plan until such time as he is employed neither by the Company nor by an Affiliate. However, an individual who is employed by an Affiliate other than a Controlled Group Affiliate shall not be treated as continuing in employment by reason thereof at any time after he has become vested in a Retirement Pension hereunder.




			
	
			
				 (b)
			

			
	
			
			Upon retirement or other Termination of Employment or death while in the employ of an Affiliate or in the employ of the Company other than as an Eligible Employee, a Participant’s benefit under this Plan (if any) shall be determined as if he had then retired, terminated employment or died for purposes of this Plan, based on his Final Average Monthly Compensation as of first to occur of (1) his date of retirement, (2) Termination of Employment, (3) death, (4) for a Participant who made the election under Section 2.05(a), January 1, 2008 or (5) March 1, 2011 for all other Participants, and his Benefit Service and the benefit formula in effect under Article V as of the date of transfer to the Affiliate or to employment other than as an Eligible Employee.




			
	
			
				 (c)
			

			
	
			
			Hours of Service, as defined in Section 4.01(a)(1) and (2), and Vesting Service will be credited for employment with an Affiliate as if the Affiliate were the Company, and for 
		

		 


		

			 

		


		

			EAST\83473092.3

		


		

			18

		






 


		

			 

		




			employment with the Company other than as an Eligible Employee as if such employment were covered under this Plan. However, no Benefit Service, or Hours of Service, as defined in Section 4.01(a)(3), shall be credited for such employment, except as expressly provided in Section 5.03.




			
	
			
				 (d)
			

			
	
			
			In determining whether a Participant has sufficient years of Vesting Service to be eligible for an Early Retirement Pension under Section 5.02 or a Vested Retirement Pension under Section 5.05, no credit shall be given for service with any Affiliate prior to the date it first became an Affiliate.




			
	
			
				 4.08
			

			
	
			
			Transfers Between Hours of Service and Elapsed Time Computations.




			
	
			
				 (a)
			

			
	
			
			If an employee transfers to service accounted for under this Plan on the basis of computation periods from service accounted for under this Plan, or under another qualified plan of the Company or an Affiliate, on a different basis (i.e., on the elapsed time method), the Eligible Employee shall receive credit for purposes of eligibility to participate and, in the case of a Part-Time Employee) vesting, as of the date of transfer, for the number of one (l) year periods of service credited to him under such elapsed time method as of the date of transfer, and, in the computation period that includes the date of transfer, for the number of Hours of Service determined by crediting 190 Hours of Service for each month or part thereof included in any fractional part of a year credited to him as of the date of transfer. In applying this Section 4.08, the twelve (12) month period described in Section 2.01(b)(2) shall be treated as an eligibility computation period.




			
	
			
				 (b)
			

			
	
			
			If an employee transfers to service accounted for under this Plan under the elapsed time method from service accounted for under this Plan (or under another qualified plan of the Company or an Affiliate) on the basis of computation periods, the employee’s Vesting Service for the period during which vesting (under this Plan or such other plan) was determined on the basis of computation periods and through the close of the computation period in which such transfer occurs, shall be (i) the number of years of vesting service credited to him as of the start of such computation period under the computation period based plan rules theretofore applicable and (ii) for the computation period in which such transfer occurs, the greater of (A) his vesting service as of the date of transfer determined under such rules or (B) his Vesting Service for the entire such computation period determined under the elapsed time rules of this Plan.




			
	
			
				 4.09
			

			
	
			
			Compliance with the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act of 1994.




			
	
			
				 (a)
			

			
	
			
			Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, contributions, benefits, and service credits with respect to qualified military service will be provided in accordance with Code § 414(u).




			
	
			
				 (b)
			

			
	
			
			In the case of a death or disability occurring on or after January 1, 2007, if a participant dies while performing qualified military service (as defined in Code § 414(u)), the survivors of the participant are entitled to any additional benefits (other than benefit accruals relating to the period of qualified military service) provided under the Plan as if the participant had resumed and then terminated employment on account of death.




			
	
			
				 (c)
			

			
	
			
			For years beginning after December 31, 2008, (i) an individual receiving a differential wage payment, as defined by Code § 3401(h)(2), shall be treated as an employee of the

			Retirement At or After Normal Retirement Age.




			
	
			
				 (a)
			

			
	
			
			If a Participant with a nonforfeitable right to a Retirement Pension terminates employment at or after attaining Normal Retirement Age and on or after January 1, 1989, he will be entitled to a Normal Retirement Pension in a monthly amount equal to the sum of:




			
	
			
				 (1)
			

			
	
			
			1% of his Final Average Monthly Compensation not in excess of 1/12 of his Covered Compensation, times his years of Benefit Service up to 35 such years, and

			1.4% of his Final Average Monthly Compensation in excess of 1/12 of his Covered Compensation, times his years of Benefit Service up to 35 such years,

			years of Benefit Service (up to 35 such years) at the date of his Termination of Employment; and




			
	
			
				 (B)
			

			
	
			
			In the case of an amount calculated under Section 5.01(b) (including an amount calculated under Section 5.01(c)(3)):




			
	
			
				 (i)
			

			
	
			
			Sections 5.01(b)(1) and (2) shall be applied based on the Participant’s Final Average Monthly Compensation and Benefit Service at the date of his Termination of Employment (or deemed Termination of Employment); and




			
	
			
				 (ii)
			

			
	
			
			The Social Security offset referred to in Section 5.01(b)(2) shall be calculated based on the Participant’s Primary Insurance Amount determined under Section 1.30(b) and by using Benefit Service as if he had continued in Benefit Service from his date of Termination of Employment (or deemed Termination of Employment) to his Normal Retirement Date; the amount so determined shall then be multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Participant’s Benefit Service at his Termination of Employment (or deemed Termination of Employment) and the denominator is the Benefit Service the Participant would have accumulated if he had continued in Benefit Service until his Normal Retirement Date.

				 (a)
			

			
	
			
			Except as provided in subsection (b) below, if a Participant’s employment with the Company terminates while he is an Eligible Employee, his Retirement Pension (if any) under this Plan will be determined by treating as Benefit Service under this Plan any service with the Company for which he receives benefit credit under any other retirement plan maintained by the Company; provided, that the amount of additional Retirement Pension attributable to such Benefit Service will be reduced to the extent required by Section 5.07.




			
	
			
				 (b)
			

			
	
			
			If a Participant transfers to the employment of the Company directly from service with a non-US Affiliate of the Company, such Participant shall be treated as an Eligible Employee as of the effective date of transfer (provided, that any individual who is on secondment or other developmental assignment to the Company shall not be treated as an Eligible Employee until the first day after such assignment ends and such individual is no longer eligible to accrue benefits under the pension plan of the non-US Affiliate, as determined by the Company), and his Retirement Pension (if any) under this Plan will be determined as follows:

			If such Participant terminates employment with the Company (or, upon a subsequent retransfer to a non-US Affiliate, with such non-US Affiliate) prior to becoming eligible for a Retirement Pension under Section 5.01, 5.02 or 5.04 hereof, by treating as Benefit Service and Vesting Service only that service credited for the period of service with the Company as an Eligible Employee;

			such Participant shall be entitled to a Vested Retirement Pension (if any) only as provided in Section 5.05 hereof.




			
	
			
				 (2)
			

			
	
			
			If such Participant retires, becomes disabled or dies while employed by the Company, by treating as Benefit Service and Vesting Service any service with such non-US Affiliate for which he receives benefit credit under any retirement plan maintained by such non-US Affiliate; provided, that the amount of additional Retirement Pension attributable to such Benefit Service will be reduced to the extent required by Section 5.07.  Such Participant shall be entitled to a Retirement Pension (as applicable) as provided in Section 5.01, 5.02 or 5.04 hereof, as applicable.




			
	
			
				 (3)
			

			
	
			
			If such Participant is retransferred to a non-US Affiliate after becoming a Participant under this Plan, and such Participant retires, becomes disabled or dies while employed by such non-US Affiliate, by treating as Benefit Service and Vesting Service only that service credited for the period of service with the Company as an Eligible Employee, and by applying the terms of Section 4.07 hereof; such Participant shall be entitled to a Retirement Pension hereunder as provided in Section 5.01, 5.02 or 5.04 hereof, as applicable.

				 (a)
			

			
	
			
			If, as a result of a Disability incurred while employed as an Eligible Employee, a Participant becomes entitled to benefits under a long-term disability plan maintained by the Company, and such benefits start on or after June 1, 1979 and before March 1, 2011, the Participant will be eligible to receive a Disability Retirement Pension, subject to the further provisions of this Section 5.04.




			
	
			
				 (b)
			

			
	
			
			Such Disability Retirement Pension will start on the Participant’s Disability Pension Starting Date (as defined below) in a monthly amount equal to the Normal Retirement Pension determined under Section 5.01, based on:




			
	
			
				 (1)
			

			
	
			
			the Benefit Formula applicable to terminations of employment occurring on the date the Participant’s long-term disability benefits start,




			
	
			
				 (2)
			

			
	
			
			his Final Average Monthly Compensation, determined as of the last day of the period for which Compensation is imputed as a result of such Disability as provided in Section 1.17(c), and

			his Benefit Service and Vesting Service as of the earlier of his Disability Pension Starting Date or March 1, 2011 (after taking into account the Benefit Service  and Vesting Service credited under subsection (c) of this Section 5.04); provided, however, that if the Minimum Benefit Formula under Section 5.01(a) was used to calculate a Disability Retirement Pension that commenced prior to January 1, 1984, such pension shall be adjusted, effective January 1, 1984, by recalculating it based on the Minimum Benefit Formula in effect on that date.

				 (1)
			

			
	
			
			recovers from his Disability prior to his Disability Pension Starting Date and returns to the employ of the Company or an Affiliate within ninety (90) days after the end of such Disability and prior to working full-time for any other person (disregarding any employment which is primarily for the purpose of rehabilitation), or




			
	
			
				 (2)
			

			
	
			
			does not recover from his Disability prior to attainment of his Disability Pension Starting Date,




		
			he shall be deemed to have continued as a Participant under the Plan and the period of his Disability prior to the earlier of his Disability Pension Starting Date or March 1, 2011 shall be treated as Vesting Service and Benefit Service, and Compensation shall be imputed for that period as provided in Section 1.17(c).
		

			
	
			
				 (d)
			

			
	
			
			If a Participant recovers from his Disability prior to his Disability Pension Starting Date and does not return to the employ of the Company or an Affiliate within the aforesaid 90-day period, or if he refuses to submit proof of continued Disability as required under subsection (e) below, he shall be deemed to have terminated his employment with the Company as of the date of commencement of his Disability, and no Vesting Service or Benefit Service or Hours of Service shall be credited for any period after the commencement of his Disability, and his right, if any, to benefits under the Plan shall be determined on that basis.




			
	
			
				 (e)
			

			
	
			
			As a condition of entitlement to a Disability Retirement Pension, the Plan Administrator may require such proof of the Participant’s continued Disability as it deems necessary at the time, and from time to time prior to the Participant’s Disability Pension Starting Date, including having the Participant examined, at the Company’s expense, by a duly licensed physician selected by the Plan Administrator.




			
	
			
				 (f)
			

			
	
			
			For purposes of this Plan, “Disability Pension Starting Date” means Normal Retirement Date in the case of a Participant whose long-term disability benefits begin prior to such date; provided that a Participant who is entitled to long-term disability benefits after his Normal Retirement Date (whether beginning before or after such date) may elect to treat the first day of the month on or after the date his long-term disability benefits end as his Disability Pension Starting Date.

			Notwithstanding subsection (b) above, in the case of a Rule of 65 Retiree, the reduction for a commencement of a Vested Retirement Pension prior to the Participant’s Normal Retirement Date shall be in accordance with the table set forth under Section 5.02(b)(2) rather than in accordance with the table set forth in subsection (b) above.




			
	
			
				 (d)
			

			
	
			
			(1)  Effective December 1, 2014, if a Participant who meets the eligibility requirements of paragraph (3) below so elects (at such time and in such manner as the Plan Administrator shall prescribe) the Participant’s Vested Retirement Pension will start as of the date elected by such Participant, which may be the first day of any month thereafter following such Participant’s termination of employment and prior to his 55th birthday, in a monthly amount determined under Section 5.02(b)(1), reduced pursuant to the actuarial factors in Section 1.07 of Appendix A, provided, further, that the percentages set forth in the tables used in determining Vested Retirement Pensions or Early Retirement Pensions as applicable to such Participant under this Article V shall be used to determine the reduction in the Participant’s monthly amount from the Participant’s Normal Retirement Date to the Participant’s 55th birthday, but only to the extent the percentages set forth in such tables produce a lower monthly amount of benefit.




		
			(2)  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, for a Participant whose Vested Retirement Pension is subject to the provisions of a Supplement: (i) the Participant’s monthly amount under this subsection will be determined under the provisions of the applicable Supplement applicable to a Vested Retirement Pension starting as of the Participant’s Normal Retirement Date, (ii) the actuarial factors used to reduce the monthly amount will be the actuarial factors in Section 1.07 of Appendix A as modified by the applicable Supplement, and (iii) the tables referred to in the proviso in paragraph (d)(1) above will be the tables applicable to such Participant under the applicable Supplement.
		

		
			(3)  A Participant is eligible under this Section 5.05(d) if: (i) the Participant terminates employment on or after July 1, 2014, (ii) the Participant’s long term disability benefits under the Company’s long term disability plan terminate on or after July 1, 2014, or (iii) the Participant’s Retirement Pension  is subject to a domestic relations order determined

			Reemployment Before Pension Commencement Date.  If a Participant who is entitled to a Retirement Pension in accordance with Section 5.02(b)(1) or 5.05 is reemployed by the Company before his Pension Commencement Date, benefits based on his Benefit Service credited after such reemployment will be based on the benefit formula in effect at the time of his subsequent Termination of Employment (or for a Pre-1988 Retiree, his Normal Retirement Date, if earlier).  In such event, the amount of Retirement Pension payable with respect to Benefit Service credited prior to such reemployment will not be increased by any applicable increase in the benefit formula that may have occurred subsequent to the date of such previous Termination of Employment, until the Participant has been reemployed for a period of continuous active employment of at least 12 months.

				 (b)
			

			
	
			
			The Actuarially Equivalent benefit derived from the retirement plan of a non-US Affiliate, as provided in Section 5.03 hereof, shall be determined and fixed as of the Participant’s pension commencement date.  The currency exchange rate for determining the US dollar value of such benefit shall be determined as follows:  as of each December 31 the average currency exchange rate for the applicable currency for the 5-year period ending on such date shall be calculated.  Such rate shall apply to all retirements commencing on the January 1 next following, and shall continue to apply to retirements commencing through December 31 of that year.

			Special Spouse Benefit.




			
	
			
				 (a)
			

			
	
			
			A “Special Spouse Benefit” shall be paid to a Participant’s surviving spouse if the Participant dies:




			
	
			
				 (1)
			

			
	
			
			while employed by the Company;




			
	
			
				 (2)
			

			
	
			
			with at least 10 years of Vesting Service; and




			
	
			
				 (3)
			

			
	
			
			if the sum of the Participant’s age (including proportionate credit for each tenth of a year) and years of Benefit Service is 65 or greater.




			
	
			
				 (b)
			

			
	
			
			The term “Vesting Service” shall be substituted for the term “Benefit Service” in subsection (a) above for Participants who (1) make an election pursuant to Section 2.05(a) in lieu of continuing to accrue Benefit Service under this Plan, (2) transfer to employment with a Controlled Group Affiliate on or after April 1, 2008, or (3) cease to accrue Benefit Service effective March 1, 2011; provided that for any Plan Year no more than one year of Service (“Benefit” or “Vesting”) shall be recognized.  Such substitution shall apply from the date the event described in item (1), (2) or (3) occurs.




			
	
			
				 6.02
			

			
	
			
			Form and Amount of Special Spouse Benefit.




			
	
			
				 (a)
			

			
	
			
			The Special Spouse Benefit will be a monthly benefit equal to 50% of the monthly pension that would have been paid to the Participant if he had started to receive an Early Retirement Pension on the day before his death in the form of a Qualified Joint and Surviving Spouse Annuity but without any reduction for commencement of such pension prior to Normal Retirement Age.  The amount of this annuity will, however, be determined after giving effect to the actuarial reduction required under Section 1.33(b) to convert the amount of pension payable in the form described in Section 7.01 into an actuarially equivalent amount payable as a Qualified Joint and Surviving Spouse Annuity. Notwithstanding the above provisions of this Section 6.02(a), the Special Spouse Benefit will not be less than the Pre-Retirement Surviving Spouse Annuity to which the Surviving Spouse would have been entitled if Section 6.03 had applied to the Participant.




			
	
			
				 (b)
			

			
	
			
			The Special Spouse Benefit will be payable monthly for the lifetime of the Participant’s surviving spouse, the first monthly payment to be made for the month next following the month in which the Participant dies and the last monthly payment to be made for the month in which the spouse dies.




			
	
			
				 6.03
			

			
	
			
			Pre-Retirement Surviving Spouse Annuity.




			
	
			
				 (a)
			

			
	
			
			Application.  The provisions of this Section 6.03 shall apply to any Participant who (l) is credited with at least one paid working hour or hour of paid leave under the Plan on or after August 23, 1984, (2) is not covered by the Special Spouse Benefit under Sections 6.01 and 6.02 and (3) is vested in his accrued benefit under the Plan, and to any eligible Participant electing to have such provisions apply under Section 6.04 (a “Covered Participant”).

			Definitions.




			
	
			
				 (1)
			

			
	
			
			The term “Pre-Retirement Surviving Spouse Annuity” means a monthly benefit beginning on the Starting Date and ending with a payment made on the first day of the month in which the Spouse’s death occurs, in an amount equal to the monthly benefit that would have been payable to the Surviving Spouse of the Participant if such Participant had terminated employment on the earlier of the date of his death or the date of any prior actual termination, had survived until the Starting Date and had begun to receive a Retirement Pension in the applicable post-retirement form immediately prior to the Starting Date and then died on the Starting Date.  For this purpose, the applicable postretirement form shall be whichever benefit form described in Section 7.05 that the Participant has elected in accordance with Section 7.04 or, if an election under Section 7.04 has not been made, a Qualified Joint and Surviving Spouse Annuity.




			
	
			
				 (2)
			

			
	
			
			The term “Starting Date” means:  (1) in the case of a Participant who dies before his Normal Retirement Date, the day that would have been the Participant’s Normal Retirement Date, or if the Surviving Spouse so elects, the first day of any earlier month following (A) the day the Participant dies if he dies on or after his Earliest Retirement Age or (B) in any other case the day he would have attained his Earliest Retirement Age had he survived, but crediting no years of Vesting Service for periods following his actual date of death for this purpose, and (2) in the case of a Participant who dies after his Normal Retirement Date and before his Pension Commencement Date shall be the first day of the month following his death.




			
	
			
				 (c)
			

			
	
			
			Surviving Spouse Benefit.  If a Participant to whom this Section 6.03 applies dies before his Pension Commencement Date, his Surviving Spouse, if any, will receive a Pre-Retirement Surviving Spouse Annuity.




			
	
			
				 (d)
			

			
	
			
			Death of Spouse.  If the Participant’s Spouse dies before the Participant, the Pre-Retirement Surviving Spouse Annuity coverage shall be deemed revoked at the date of the Spouse’s death.




			
	
			
				 (e)
			

			
	
			
			Cost of Benefit.  The benefit provided under this Section 6.03 may not be waived (or another beneficiary selected) and the Plan shall fully subsidize the costs of such benefit.




			
	
			
				 6.04
			

			
	
			
			Application to Participants Previously Terminated after ERISA Effective Date.  Any living Participant not receiving benefits under the Plan on August 23, 1984 (and whose benefits had not been distributed by purchase of an annuity contract prior to that date) who would otherwise not receive the benefits described by Section 6.03, shall nevertheless be eligible for such benefits if such Participant was credited with at least one paid hour of service on or after January 1, 1976, and such Participant had at least 10 years of Vesting Service when he separated from service.




			
	
			
				 6.05
			

			
	
			
			Plan Death Benefits.  No benefit will be payable under this Plan upon the death of a Participant, except as specifically provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article 6 or in Article 7.

			The Plan Administrator will notify the Participant when a benefit under the Plan is required.  Such notification shall include a general description of the material features and an explanation of the relative values of the optional forms of benefit available under the Plan in a manner that would satisfy the notice requirements of Code § 417(a)(3) and  Treas.

				 (b)
			

			
	
			
			Qualified Joint and Surviving Spouse Annuity:  A Participant’s vested accrued benefit under the Plan shall be paid in the form of a Qualified Joint and Surviving Spouse Annuity unless (l) the Participant makes a Qualified Election to be paid in the normal form described in Section 7.01,  (2) the Participant elects a joint and 75% or 100% surviving spouse annuity under Section 7.05, or (3) the Participant elects a lump sum payment under Section 7.05.

				 (2)
			

			
	
			
			the right of the Participant to make, and the effect of, a Qualified Election,

			the right of the Participant’s Spouse to consent or not to consent to such an election,

				 (1)
			

			
	
			
			the Participant has been provided with information that clearly indicates that the Participant has at least 30 days to consider whether to waive the Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity and elect (with spousal consent) a form of distribution other than a Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity.




			
	
			
				 (6)
			

			
	
			
			the Participant is permitted to revoke any affirmative distribution election at least until the Pension Commencement Date or, if later, at any time prior to the expiration of the 7-day period that begins the day after the explanation of the Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity is provided to the Participant, and




			
	
			
				 (7)
			

			
	
			
			the Pension Commencement Date is a date after the date that the written explanation was provided to the Participant.




			
	
			
				 7.03
			

			
	
			
			Participants Terminating after September 1, 1974 and before ERISA Effective Date.




			
	
			
				 (a)
			

			
	
			
			Any living Participant not receiving benefits on August 23, 1984, who was credited with at least one paid hour of service under this Plan on or after September 2, 1974, and who is not covered by Section 7.02 of this Plan, or by the qualified joint and survivor annuity provisions of Section 7.02 of this Plan as in effect on August 22, 1984, must be given the opportunity to have his benefits paid in accordance with such qualified joint and survivor annuity provisions.




			
	
			
				 (b)
			

			
	
			
			Such election may be made at any time during the period from August 23, 1984 to the Participant’s Pension Commencement Date.




			
	
			
				 7.04
			

			
	
			
			Election of Optional Forms of Payment.




			
	
			
				 (a)
			

			
	
			
			A married Participant may elect to receive a Retirement Pension payable in an optional form described in Section 7.05(a) instead of a Qualified Joint and Surviving Spouse Annuity; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, a Participant who is eligible for a Retirement Pension pursuant to Section 5.05(d) may not elect the 100% surviving spouse option. The benefits payable under such optional form will be reduced in accordance with Section 1.02 or 1.03 of Appendix A (whichever applies) so as to be the Actuarial Equivalent of the benefits otherwise payable in the normal form described in Section 7.01.




			
	
			
				 (b)
			

			
	
			
			Effective December 1, 2014, an eligible Participant described in Section 7.05(b) may elect to receive the value of his Retirement Pension in the form of an immediate single lump sum payment as described in Section 7.05(b) instead of a Qualified Joint and Surviving Spouse Annuity, an optional form described in 7.05(a) or an applicable Supplement, or the normal form of benefit described in Section 7.01(a).




		
			(c)Except as modified under Section 7.02, any election of an optional form of payment described in Section 7.05 must be in writing on a form prescribed by the Plan Administrator and shall become effective on the later of the Participant’s Pension Commencement Date and thirty (30) days following his receipt of the notice described in Section 7.02, and may be revoked at any time prior to the Pension Commencement Date.

				 (a)
			

			
	
			
			75% or 100% Surviving Spouse Option.  




			
	
			
				 (1)
			

			
	
			
			The 75% or 100% surviving spouse option will provide a reduced monthly amount of Retirement Pension for the lifetime of the Participant and, at the time of the Participant’s death, for the continuance of 75% or 100% of such reduced monthly amount to the Participant’s Spouse, to be paid for the remainder of the Spouse’s lifetime, provided that such Spouse was married to the Participant on his Pension Commencement Date.




			
	
			
				 (2)
			

			
	
			
			With respect to the 100% Surviving Spouse Option, if a Participant other than (i) a Participant who has provided the Plan Administrator with a certificate of good health as of such Participant’s Pension Commencement Date, by a doctor satisfactory to the Plan Administrator, or (ii) a Participant who dies of accidental causes, dies within three (3) years after his Pension Commencement Date, such election shall be null and void as to any Beneficiary or the Participant’s estate and the Participant’s Spouse (if any) shall receive the benefit that would have been payable to the survivor under the Qualified Joint and Surviving Spouse Annuity form had no election been made hereunder.




			
	
			
				 (3)
			

			
	
			
			If the Participant’s Spouse dies before his Pension Commencement Date, the Participant’s election of this option shall be null and void. If the Spouse dies before the Participant but after the Participant’s Pension Commencement Date no benefits will be payable under this option upon the death of the Participant, but the Participant’s Retirement Pension shall continue to be payable to him during his life in the reduced amount provided under the option. 




			
	
			
				 (b)
			

			
	
			
			Lump Sum Payment Option.  Effective with respect to distributions on or after December 1, 2014, Participants who terminate employment on or after July 1, 2014 may elect in accordance with Section 7.04(b) to receive their Retirement Pension in the form of an immediate single lump sum payment.  The lump sum payment option shall provide a single lump sum payment of the Actuarial Value (determined by using the assumptions set forth in Section 1.07 of Appendix A to this Plan) of the Participant’s Retirement Pension otherwise payable in the normal form described in Section 7.01 without taking into account any subsidy for an Early Retirement Pension described in Section 5.02 of the Plan or in any applicable Supplement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall a lump sum payment under this subsection (b) exceed the limits set forth in Section 14.02(b).  The lump sum payment option described in this subsection (b) shall also be available to (i) Participants whose long term disability benefits under the Company’s long term disability plan terminate on or after July 1, 2014 and (ii) Participants whose Retirement Pensions are subject to a domestic relations order determined to constitute a Qualified Domestic Relations Order by the Plan Administrator, provided that such a Participant terminated employment on or after July 1, 2014. 




			
	
			
				 7.06
			

			
	
			
			Reemployment of Pensioner. 




			
	
			
				 (a)
			

			
	
			
			If a Participant starts receiving his Retirement Pension and is later reemployed by the Company, any monthly pension payments he is then receiving will be suspended to the extent provided under Section 7.09.  During the period of reemployment he will be eligible to accrue Benefit Service under the then current provisions of the Plan if the requirements of Section 2.02 are satisfied.




		 


		

			 

		


		

			EAST\83473092.3

		


		

			33

		




 


		

			 

		




			
	
			
				 (b)
			

			
	
			
			At the time of the Participant’s subsequent Termination of Employment, the previously suspended monthly pension benefit will commence in the same amount and form as was effective at the time of suspension, and, in addition, any benefit derived from the additional Benefit Service accrued during the period of reemployment will be payable under the then current provisions of the Plan.




			
	
			
				 (c)
			

			
	
			
			This Section 7.06 is inapplicable to Participants affected by the benefit accrual freeze made effective March 1, 2011.




			
	
			
				 (d)
			

			
	
			
			Notwithstanding anything in an applicable Supplement to the contrary, if a former Participant who has received a distribution of his Retirement Pension in a single lump sum is rehired by the Company, upon the subsequent termination of employment such Participant’s Retirement Pension shall be determined under Article 5, or the provisions of the applicable Supplement, on the basis of such Participant’s total Years of Benefit Service as of the subsequent termination date, and shall then be reduced by an offset equal to the Actuarial Value of amounts previously received by such Participant. 




			
	
			
				 7.07
			

			
	
			
			Small Benefits.




			
	
			
				 (a)
			

			
	
			
			If any Retirement Pension or other benefit under this Plan requires monthly payments of less than $20 per month, the Plan Administrator may direct that such payments be paid quarter-annually, semi-annually, or annually, rather than monthly.




			
	
			
				 (b)
			

			
	
			
			Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, if the Actuarial Value (determined by using the assumptions set forth in Section 1.06 of Appendix A to this Plan) of the nonforfeitable portion of any benefit otherwise payable hereunder is $5,000 or less as of the annuity starting date, such benefit shall be paid to the Participant or his Surviving Spouse (as the case may be) in a single sum, provided, however, that effective January 1, 1987, no lump sum distribution shall be made under this Section 7.07(b) after the Participant’s “annuity starting date” unless the Participant and his Spouse (or the Surviving Spouse if applicable) consent in writing to such distribution.  For purposes of the preceding sentence “annuity starting date” means (i) the first day of the first period for which an amount is payable as an annuity, or (ii) in the case of a benefit not payable in an annuity, the first day on which all events have occurred which entitle the Participant to such benefit.  Such payment shall be in full satisfaction of any liability the Plan may have with respect to such person.  Prior to January 1, 1998, “$3,500” was substituted for “$5,000” in this Section 7.07(b).  Effective for distributions made prior to October 17, 2000, “and was $5,000 or less as of the date of any prior distribution,” was substituted for “as of the annuity starting date” in the first sentence of this Section 7.07(b).




			
	
			
				 (c)
			

			
	
			
			For purposes of this Section 7.07, if such Actuarial Value of the nonforfeitable portion of a Participant’s Retirement Pension is zero, the Participant shall be deemed to have received a single sum distribution of the nonforfeitable portion of his Retirement Pension upon his Termination of Employment.  The nonvested portion of the Retirement Pension of a Participant who is deemed to have received a single sum distribution of his nonforfeitable portion of his Retirement Pension under this Section 7.07(c) shall be forfeited as of the date distribution is deemed to have been made.  The unvested Retirement Pension forfeited pursuant to this Section 7.07(c) shall be restored in the case of a Participant who is reemployed before incurring a Break in Service, or in the case of a Participant who is reemployed after incurring a Break in Service if (and only if) his Benefit Service prior to the Break in Service has not been permanently forfeited

			under Section 4.05 and the requirements for restoration under Section 2.02 have been met.




			
	
			
				 (d)
			

			
	
			
			In the event of a single sum distribution under subsection 7.07(b) that occurs on or after March 28, 2005, where such distribution is greater than $1,000 (but does not exceed $5,000), if the Participant does not elect to have such distribution paid directly to an Eligible Retirement Plan in an Eligible Rollover Distribution as described in Section 7.13, or to receive the distribution directly, then the Plan Administrator will pay the distribution in an Eligible Rollover Distribution to an individual retirement plan (Code § 408) designated by the Plan Administrator.




			
	
			
				 7.08
			

			
	
			
			Time of Commencement of Benefits.




			
	
			
				 (a)
			

			
	
			
			Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan (but subject to subsections (b) and (c) below), and unless the Participant elects otherwise, the distribution of a Participant’s nonforfeitable benefits under the Plan shall commence by the earlier of:




			
	
			
				 (1)
			

			
	
			
			The 60th day after the close of the Plan Year in which the later of the following events occurs:




			
	
			
				 (A)
			

			
	
			
			the Participant’s Termination of Employment, or




			
	
			
				 (B)
			

			
	
			
			the Participant’s attainment of his Normal Retirement Age, or




			
	
			
				 (C)
			

			
	
			
			the 10th anniversary of the year in which the Participant commenced participation in the Plan.




			
	
			
				 (2)
			

			
	
			
			the time prescribed by Section 7.10 of the Plan.




			
	
			
				 (b)
			

			
	
			
			For years prior to the 1989 calendar year (distributions with respect to which shall be made no later than April 1, 1990), Section 7.08(a)(2) shall apply only to a Participant who is or was a 5-percent owner (as described in Section 16.02(a)(3)) for any part of any Plan Year during or after which the Participant attained age 66-1/2.




			
	
			
				 (c)
			

			
	
			
			Notwithstanding the above provisions of this Section 7.08, payment may be delayed if the amount of a Payment otherwise required to commence on any date cannot be ascertained, or payment on such date cannot be made because the Plan Administrator has been unable to locate the Participant after making reasonable efforts to do so. In either case, a payment, retroactive to the date payment should have commenced, shall be made no later than 60 days after the earliest date on which the amount of the payment can be ascertained or the Participant is located (whichever is applicable).




			
	
			
				 (d)
			

			
	
			
			The Plan Administrator may require, as a condition for the payment of benefits under the Plan, that a Participant file a written claim for benefits with the Plan Administrator which provides all the information reasonably necessary for the payment of such benefits.

				 7.09
			

			
	
			
			Employment After Normal Retirement Date or After Commencement of Benefits.    




			
	
			
				 (a)
			

			
	
			
			If a Participant continues in active employment after his Normal Retirement Date, or is reemployed under the circumstances described in subsection (b) below, the Retirement Pension otherwise determinable in respect of the Participant shall be actuarially increased to reflect the amount by which the value of all Missed Payments exceeds the value of additional benefits (if any) credited to him after his Normal Retirement Date (including, without limitation, additional benefits attributable to continued accruals and benefit improvements, retroactive or otherwise).  For purposes of the preceding sentence, a Missed Payment shall mean any monthly pension payment which (1) was not paid on account of the Participant’s employment after his Normal Retirement Date and (2) is attributable to a calendar month in which the Participant had fewer than 40 Hours of Service.




			
	
			
				 (b)
			

			
	
			
			Effective January 1, 1988, this Section 7.09 shall apply to a Participant who continues in active employment after his Normal Retirement Date, or who is reemployed:




			
	
			
				 (1)
			

			
	
			
			on or after his Normal Retirement Date;




			
	
			
				 (2)
			

			
	
			
			after starting to receive his Early Retirement Pension if it commenced before he reached age 62; or




			
	
			
				 (3)
			

			
	
			
			after starting to receive his Vested Retirement Pension if it commenced before he reached Normal Retirement Age or, if he is a Rule of 65 Retiree, before he reached age 62.




			
	
			
				 (c)
			

			
	
			
			In the event of the Participant’s death before his actual retirement or other Termination of Employment, no death or survivor benefits shall be payable with respect to benefits otherwise payable under subsection (a) above.




			
	
			
				 (d)
			

			
	
			
			The overpayment of any benefits caused by the operation of Section 7.06 (determined after giving effect to this Section 7.09) may be recovered by the Trustee by offset against payments that may be or become due to, or in respect of, the Participant; provided, however, that such offset shall not exceed 25% of any month’s benefit payment, other than the first payment (including any arrears contained therein), and notice of such offset shall be given in accordance with applicable regulations.




			
	
			
				 (e)
			

			
	
			
			This Section 7.09 is inapplicable to Participants affected by the benefit accrual freeze made effective March 1, 2011.




			
	
			
				 7.10
			

			
	
			
			Required Commencement of Benefits.




			
	
			
				 (a)
			

			
	
			
			Pursuant to Code § 401(a)(9), the payment of benefits under the Plan to a Participant eligible for such benefits shall begin no later than the April 1 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Participant attains age 70 1⁄2 in the case of 5% owners (hereinafter the “required beginning date”).  For Participants who are not 5% owners, the required beginning date is the later of the April 1 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Participant attains age 70 1⁄2 or retires.  Except with respect to a 5% owner, a Participant’s benefit is actuarially increased to take into account the period after age 70 1⁄2 in which the Participant does not receive any benefits under the Plan, as required under Code § 401(a)(9)(C)(iii).  Any distribution required

			under the incidental death benefit requirements of Code § 401(a)(9) shall be treated as a distribution required by this subsection (a).




			
	
			
				 (b)
			

			
	
			
			For Plan Years commencing on and after January 1, 2003, minimum required distributions will be made as provided in Appendix B and in accordance with final Treasury Regulation §§ 1.409(a)(9)-2 through 1.401(a)(9)-9 (prior to the effective date of such final regulations, distributions are made in compliance with Treasury Regulation § 1.401(a)(9)T and the Code § 401(a)(9) 1987 Proposed Regulations).  




			
	
			
				 7.11
			

			
	
			
			Qualified Domestic Relations Orders.




			
	
			
				 (a)
			

			
	
			
			Definition:




			
	
			
				 (1)
			

			
	
			
			For purposes of this Section 7.11, “Qualified Domestic Relations Order” means any judgment, decree or order (including approval of a property settlement) made pursuant to a state domestic relations law (including a community property law) which relates to the provision of child support, alimony payments or marital property to a spouse, former spouse, child or other dependent of a Participant and which creates or recognizes the existence of a right of such spouse, former spouse, child or other dependent to receive all or a portion of the benefits payable with respect to a Participant under the Plan.




			
	
			
				 (2)
			

			
	
			
			A Qualified Domestic Relations Order must clearly specify the amount or percentage of the Participant’s benefits to be paid to such recipient by the Plan (or the manner in which such amount or percentage is to be determined), the number of payments or period to which such order applies and each plan to which such order applies.  A Qualified Domestic Relations Order (i) may not require the Plan (A) to provide payment to the recipient in a form other than as a single life annuity or other form available to the Participant, excluding however any joint and survivor annuity form (i.e. the forms described in Sections 1.32 and 7.05); (B) to pay benefits to a recipient under such order which are required to be paid to another recipient under another such order previously filed with the Plan; or (C) to provide increased benefits (determined on the basis of actuarial equivalents), but (ii) may require payment of benefits to the recipient under the order (A) at any time after the date of the order and on or after the Participant’s Earliest Retirement Age, (B) as if the Participant’s Pension Commencement Date had occurred on the date on which such payment is to begin under such order (taking into account only the present benefits in which the Participant is then vested), and (C) in any form permitted under clause (i)(A) above; provided, however, that such benefit shall be determined based on the life expectancy of the recipient.




			
	
			
				 (3)
			

			
	
			
			An order will not fail to constitute a Qualified Domestic Relations Order solely because it permits the recipient and the Plan Administrator to enter into an agreement under which the benefits payable to the recipient will be made prior to the Participant’s Earliest Retirement Age (with appropriate reduction for early commencement) at any time after the order is determined to be a Qualified Domestic Relations Order, whether or not the Participant has separated from service.




		 


		

			 

		


		

			EAST\83473092.3

		


		

			37

		




 


		

			 

		




			
	
			
				 (4)
			

			
	
			
			In accordance with 29 C.F.R. § 2530.206, an order will not fail to constitute a Qualified Domestic Relations Order solely because the order is issued after, or revises, another qualified domestic relations order; and provided the same requirements and protections that apply under ERISA § 206(d)(3) apply, an order will not fail to treated as a qualified domestic relations order solely because of the time at which it is issued.




			
	
			
				 (b)
			

			
	
			
			Distributions:  The Plan Administrator shall recognize and honor any judgment, decree or order entered on or after January 1, 1985 under a state domestic relations law which the Plan Administrator determines to be a Qualified Domestic Relations Order in accordance with such reasonable procedures to determine such status as the Plan Administrator shall establish. Without limitation of the foregoing, the Plan Administrator shall notify a Participant and the person entitled to benefits under a judgment, decree or order which purports to be a Qualified Domestic Relations Order of (i) the receipt thereof, (ii) the Plan’s procedures for determining whether such judgment, decree or order is a Qualified Domestic Relations Order, and (iii) any determination made with respect to such status. During any period during which the Plan Administrator is determining whether any judgment, decree or order is a Qualified Domestic Relations Order, any amount which would have been payable to any person pursuant to such order shall be separately accounted for pending payment to the proper recipient thereof. Any such amount shall be paid to the person entitled to such payment under any such judgment, decree or order if the Plan Administrator determines such judgment, decree or order to be a Qualified Domestic Relations Order within 18 full calendar months commencing with the date on which the first payment would be required to be made under such judgment, decree or order. If the Plan Administrator is unable to make such a determination within such time period, payment under the Plan shall be as if such judgment, decree or order did not exist and any such determination made after such time period shall be applied prospectively only. The Participant’s Retirement Pension shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect any distribution made pursuant to a Qualified Domestic Relations Order.




			
	
			
				 (c)
			

			
	
			
			Actuarial Subsidy:  If any Qualified Domestic Relations Order should require payment to any person prior to the actual retirement or other separation from service of a Participant, the portion of the benefits of such Participant payable to the alternate payee shall be actuarially reduced to reflect payment prior to Normal Retirement Date in accordance with the reduction factors in Section 5.05 whether or not such payment would, had the participating employee actually retired, be paid as an Early Retirement Pension or other benefit providing an actuarial subsidy.




			
	
			
				 7.12
			

			
	
			
			Spouses of Certain Early Retirees.  In the case of a Participant who retired under the provisions of Section 5.03 of the Plan as in effect prior to January 1, 1989 (Special Early Retirement Pension), unless the provisions of Section 7.02 were waived within 90 days prior to the commencement of the Special Early Retirement Pension under that Section pursuant to a Qualified Election, the Surviving Spouse of such a Participant shall be entitled to a monthly benefit for life as determined as follows:




			
	
			
				 (1)
			

			
	
			
			If the Participant dies before his Normal Retirement Date, his Surviving Spouse will be entitled to a monthly benefit in the amount that would have then become payable to such Spouse under a Qualified Joint and Surviving Spouse Annuity if the Participant’s benefits had begun in that form in an amount determined under Section 5.02(b)(2) rather than under Section 5.03 as previously in effect.

				 (2)
			

			
	
			
			If the Participant dies on or after his Normal Retirement Date, his Surviving Spouse will be entitled to a monthly benefit in an amount that would then become payable under a Qualified Joint and Surviving Spouse Annuity if the Participant’s benefits had begun in that form in an amount determined under Section 5.03(b)(1) as previously in effect (i.e., no reduction shall be made for the commencement of payment prior to Normal Retirement Date under Section 5.02).




			
	
			
				 7.13
			

			
	
			
			Eligible Rollover Distributions.




			
	
			
				 (a)
			

			
	
			
			Direct Rollover Election:  Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary that would otherwise limit a distributee’s election under this Article 7, a distributee may elect, at the time and in the manner prescribed by the Plan Administrator, to have any portion of an eligible rollover distribution paid directly to an eligible retirement plan specified by the distributee in a direct rollover.  For distributions after December 31, 2009, a non-spouse beneficiary who is a “designated beneficiary” may roll over, through a direct rollover, all or any portion of his or her distribution to an Individual Retirement Account (IRA) the non-spouse beneficiary establishes for purposes of receiving the distribution, provided such distribution satisfies the definition of eligible rollover distribution.




			
	
			
				 (b)
			

			
	
			
			Definitions:




			
	
			
				 (1)
			

			
	
			
			Eligible Rollover Distribution:  An eligible rollover distribution is any distribution of all or any portion of the balance to the credit of the distributee, except that an eligible rollover distribution does not include:  any distribution that is one of a series of substantially equal periodic payments (not less frequently than annually) made for the life (or life expectancy) of the distributee or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the distributee and the distributee’s designated beneficiary, or for a specified period of ten years or more; any distribution to the extent such distribution is required under Code § 401(a)(9); the portion of any distribution that is not includible in gross income (determined without regard to the exclusion for net unrealized appreciation with respect to employer securities); and any hardship distribution described in Code § 401(k)(2)(B)(i)(IV) received on or after January 1, 1999 or, effective January 1, 2002, any other distribution made on account of hardship.  Effective January 1, 2002, a portion of a distribution shall not fail to be an eligible rollover distribution merely because the portion consist of after-tax employee contributions which are not includible in gross income.  However, such portion may be paid only to an individual retirement account or annuity described in Code § 408(a) or (b), or to a qualified defined contribution plan described in Code §§ 401(a) or 403(a) that agrees to separately account for amounts so transferred including separately accounting for the portion of such distribution which is includible in gross income and the portion of such distribution which is not so includible.

Effective January 1, 2002, the definition of eligible retirement plan shall also apply in the case of a surviving spouse, or to a spouse or former spouse who is the alternate payee under a Qualified Domestic Relations Order, as defined in Code § 414(p) and Plan Section 7.11.

				 (b)
			

			
	
			
			Funding Based Limitations on Unpredictable Contingent Event Benefits.  If a participant is entitled to an unpredictable contingent event benefit payable with respect to any event occurring during any Plan Year, such benefit may not be provided if the adjusted funding target attainment percentage for such Plan Year (i) is less than 60 percent, or (ii) would be less than 60 percent taking into account such occurrence.  This subsection (b) shall cease to apply with respect to any Plan Year, effective as of the first day of the Plan Year, upon payment by the Company of a contribution (in addition to any minimum required contribution under Code § 430) equal to (A) in the case of clause (i), the amount of the increase in the funding target of the Plan (under Code § 430) for the Plan Year attributable to such occurrence, and (B) in the case of clause (ii), the amount sufficient to result in an adjusted funding target attainment percentage of 60 percent.




			
	
			
				 (c)
			

			
	
			
			Limitations on Amendments Increasing Liability for Benefits.  No amendment which has the effect of increasing liabilities of the Plan by reason of increases in benefits, establishment of new benefits, changing the rate of benefit accrual, or changing the rate at which benefits become nonforfeitable may take effect during any Plan Year if the adjusted funding target attainment percentage for such Plan Year (i) is less than 60 percent, or (ii) would be less than 60 percent taking into account such occurrence.  This subsection (c) shall cease to apply with respect to any Plan Year, effective as of the first day of the Plan Year (or if later, the effective date of the amendment), upon payment by the Plan sponsor of a contribution (in addition to any minimum required contribution under Code § 430) equal to (A) in the case of clause (i), the amount of the increase in the funding target of the Plan (under Code § 430) for the Plan Year attributable to the amendment, and (B) in the case of clause (ii), the amount sufficient to result in an

			adjusted funding target attainment percentage of 80 percent.  This subsection (c) shall not apply to any amendment which provides for an increase in benefits under a formula which is not based on a participant's compensation, but only if the rate of such increase is not in excess of the contemporaneous rate of increase in average wages of participants covered by the amendment.

				 (2)
			

			
	
			
			During any period in which the Company is a debtor in a case under title 11, United States Code, or similar Federal or State law, the Plan may not pay any prohibited payment.  The preceding sentence shall not apply on or after the date on which the enrolled actuary of the Plan certifies that the adjusted funding target attainment percentage of the Plan is not less than 100 percent.




			
	
			
				 (3)
			

			
	
			
			In any case in which the Plan's adjusted funding target attainment percentage for a Plan Year is 60 percent or greater but less than 80 percent, the Plan may not pay any prohibited payment after the valuation date for the Plan Year to the extent the amount of the payment exceeds the lesser of (i) 50 percent of the amount of the payment which could be made without regard to this section, or (ii) the present value (determined under guidance prescribed by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation, using the interest and mortality assumptions under Code §417(e)) of the maximum guarantee with respect to the participant under section 4022 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.  Only 1 prohibited payment meeting the requirements of this paragraph (3)  may be made with respect to any participant during any period of consecutive Plan Years to which the limitations under either paragraph (1) or (2) or this paragraph applies.   For purposes of this paragraph (3), a participant and any beneficiary on his behalf (including an alternate payee, as defined in Code § 414(p)(8)) shall be treated as 1 participant.  If the accrued benefit of a participant is allocated to such an alternate payee and 1 or more other persons, the amount under this paragraph (3) shall be allocated among such persons in the same manner as the accrued benefit is allocated unless the qualified domestic relations order (as defined in Code § 414(p)(1)(A)) provides otherwise. 




			
	
			
				 (e)
			

			
	
			
			Limitation on Benefit Accruals (Severe Funding Shortfall).  In any case in which the Plan's adjusted funding target attainment percentage for a Plan Year is less than 60 percent, benefit accruals under the Plan shall cease as of the valuation date for the Plan Year.  This subsection (e) shall cease to apply with respect to any Plan Year, effective as of the first day of the Plan Year, upon payment by the Company of a contribution (in addition to any minimum required contribution under Code § 430) equal to the amount sufficient to result in an adjusted funding target attainment percentage of 60 percent.

			Upon the termination or partial termination (within the meaning of Code § 411(d)(3)) of the Plan, the rights of all affected employees to benefits accrued to the date of such termination or partial termination which are not yet nonforfeitable under applicable provisions of the Plan shall, to the extent funded as of such date, become nonforfeitable.




			
	
			
				 (b)
			

			
	
			
			In the event of a partial termination, the benefits of all Participants and their Spouses who have vested rights to benefits under the Plan must be fully funded before any benefits that are not so vested may be treated as funded.  For this purpose, the amount of assets necessary to fund such vested benefits shall be determined on the basis of the actuarial assumptions most recently used by the Plan in determining its compliance with the funding requirements of Code § 412.  If the net fair market value of the assets of the Plan on the date of partial termination shall exceed the amount thus determined to be necessary to fund vested benefits of the Plan, the determination of the extent to which the non-vested benefits of participants affected by the partial termination have been funded shall be made by allocating such excess among all Participants having non-vested accrued benefits under the Plan in proportion to the respective Actuarial Values of their non-vested accrued benefits, except as may be otherwise required by reason of the provisions of ERISA Section 208 (relating to prior mergers and spinoffs).

				 (b)
			

			
	
			
			Payment to any person in accordance with subsection (a) above shall, to the extent of the payment, discharge the Company, the Administrative Named Fiduciary and the members of the Benefit Finance Committee, the Trustee and any person or corporation making such payment pursuant to the direction of the Plan Administrator, and none of the foregoing will be required to see to the proper application of any such payment. Without in any manner limiting the provisions of this Section 13.01, in the event that any amount is payable hereunder to a minor or any other legally incompetent person, the Plan Administrator may in its discretion utilize the procedures described in Section 13.02.




			
	
			
				 13.02
			

			
	
			
			Doubt as to Right to Payment.

				 (a)

				 (b)
			

			
	
			
			Subsection (a) above shall not apply to any Qualified Domestic Relations Order.

After receipt of said instruction by the Plan Administrator, such monthly payment shall be made and the amount thereof paid over to a designated payee.  All payments so made shall, to the extent thereof, constitute a discharge of the claim of the person otherwise entitled thereto under the Plan, just as if such payment had been made directly to him.




			
	
			
				 (d)
			

			
	
			
			Notwithstanding subsection (a), effective for judgments, decrees or orders issued, or settlement agreements entered into, on or after August 5, 1997, a Participant’s benefits under the Plan may be offset pursuant to a judgment, decree, order, or settlement agreement which expressly provides for the offset of all or part of the amount ordered or required to be paid to the Plan against the Participant’s benefits provided under the Plan, and such judgment, decree, order, or settlement agreement satisfies the requirements of Code § 401(a)(13)(C).

Except as otherwise provided by law, the Company does not assume any obligations under the Plan except those specifically stated in the Plan.

			The Company, the Plan Administrator, the Benefit Finance Committee, and the Trustee may rely upon any certificate, statement or other representation made to them by any employee, Participant or Spouse with respect to age, length of service, leave of absence, date of cessation of employment, or other fact required to be determined under any of the provisions of the Plan, and will not be liable on account of the payment of any moneys or the doing of any act in reliance upon any such certificate, statement or other representation.

				 (c)
			

			
	
			
			If distribution in respect of a Participant is made under this Plan in a form, or to a person, reasonably believed by the Plan Administrator or its delegate to be proper (taking into account any document purporting to be a valid consent of the Participant’s Spouse, or any representation by the Participant that he is not married, or any election or revocation with respect to form of payment) the Plan shall have no further liability with respect to the Participant (or his Spouse) to the extent of such distribution.




			
	
			
				 (d)
			

			
	
			
			Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Plan’s obligation to pay benefits accrued by the Participant to any person shall be discharged to the extent that the Plan Administrator or its delegate, acting in accordance with the fiduciary standards of ERISA, makes payments on behalf of such Participant in reliance on a Qualified Election or related consent (or a determination that such consent is unnecessary) or revocation in respect thereof.




			
	
			
				 13.06
			

			
	
			
			Limitation of Liability.  Except as provided in Section 9.08 hereof and except to the extent otherwise provided by law, no liability shall attach to or be incurred by any stockholder, officer or director of the Company or any Affiliate, under or by reason of the terms, conditions and provisions contained in the Plan, or for the acts or decisions taken or made thereunder or in connection therewith.




			
	
			
				 13.07

				 13.08

				 (a)
			

			
	
			
			Each Eligible Employee and any other person entitled to benefits hereunder must file with the Plan Administrator, in writing, his post office address and each change of post office address.




			
	
			
				 (b)
			

			
	
			
			Any communication, statement, or notice addressed to such a person at his latest post office address as filed with the Plan Administrator shall be binding upon such person for all purposes of the Plan, and neither the Trustee nor the Plan Administrator will be obliged to search for or to ascertain the whereabouts of any such person. If the Trustee notifies him of the provisions of this Section 13.09 and such person fails to claim his benefits or make his whereabouts known to the Trustee within three years thereafter, the

			benefit in respect of which such payment is to be made shall be forfeited at such time as the Plan Administrator determines in its sole discretion (but in all events prior to the time such benefit would otherwise escheat under any applicable state law); provided, that any benefit so forfeited shall be reinstated if such person subsequently makes a valid claim for such benefit.




			
	
			
				 13.10
			

			
	
			
			Data.

				 13.11
			

			
	
			
			Separability.  If any provision of the Plan is held invalid or unenforceable, its invalidity or unenforceability will not affect any other provisions of the Plan, and the Plan will be construed and enforced as if such provision had not been included therein.




			
	
			
				 13.12
			

			
	
			
			Captions.  The captions contained herein and the table of contents prefixed hereto are inserted only as a matter of convenience and for reference and in no way define, limit, enlarge or describe the scope or intent of the Plan nor shall, in any way, affect the Plan or the construction of any provision thereof.




			
	
			
				 13.13
			

			
	
			
			Governing Law.  The terms of the Plan shall be construed under the laws of the State of Wisconsin (without regard to principles of conflicts of laws) except to the extent such laws are preempted by Federal law.




			
	
			
				 13.14
			

			
	
			
			Right of Discharge Reserved.




			
	
			
				 (a)
			

			
	
			
			The establishment of the Plan shall not be construed to confer upon an employee or Participant any legal right to be retained in the employ of the Company or give any employee or any other person any right in respect of amounts held by the Trustee or any payment whatsoever, except to the extent of the benefits provided for hereunder.

				ARTICLE 14.
			
Limitation on Benefits




			
	
			
				 14.01
			

			
	
			
			Purpose and Definitions.




			
	
			
				 (a)
			

			
	
			
			The purpose of this Article 14 is to comply with the provisions of Code § 415.  All terms and provisions of this Article 14 shall be interpreted and construed consistently with said provisions.  The provisions of this Article 14 shall apply, effective January 1, 1987, notwithstanding any contrary provision of the Plan; provided, however, in the case of an Eligible Employee who was a participant in one or more defined benefit plans of the Company or an Affiliate as of January 1, 1987, the application of the limitations of this Article 14 shall not cause the limitation imposed by Section 14.02(a) for such individual under all such defined benefit plans to be less than the individual’s accrued benefit as of January 1, 1987, so long as all such defined benefit plans met the requirements of Code § 415 for all Limitation Years beginning before January 1, 1987.




			
	
			
				 (b)
			

			
	
			
			For purposes of this Article 14 the following words and terms shall have the meanings indicated:




			
	
			
				 (1)
			

			
	
			
			Annual Addition:  “Annual Addition” means the sum for any Limitation Year of:  (i) employer contributions; (ii) employee contributions; (iii) forfeitures, and (iv) amounts allocated to an individual medical account, as defined in Code § 415(l)(2), which is a part of a pension or annuity plan maintained by the Company.  Also, amounts derived from contributions paid or accrued after December 31, 1985 in taxable years ending after such date, which are attributable to post-retirement medical benefits allocated to the separate account of a key employee under a welfare benefit fund, as defined in Code § 419(e), maintained by the Company or an Affiliate, are treated as Annual Additions to a defined contribution plan.




			
	
			
				 (2)
			

			
	
			
			Current Accrued Benefit:  “Current Accrued Benefit” means a Participant’s accrued benefit under the Plan, determined as if the Participant had separated from service as of December 31, 1986, when expressed as an annual benefit within the meaning of Code § 415(b)(2).  In determining the amount of a Participant’s Current Accrued Benefit, the following shall be disregarded:




			
	
			
				 (A)
			

			
	
			
			any change in the terms and conditions of the Plan after May 5, 1986; and




			
	
			
				 (B)
			

			
	
			
			any cost of living adjustments occurring after May 5, 1986.




			
	
			
				 (3)
			

			
	
			
			Percentage Limit:  “Percentage Limit” means 100% of the Participant’s average annual Earnings for the three consecutive years in which the Participant had the greatest aggregate compensation from the Company, as such Earnings are adjusted from time to time to reflect increases in the cost of living pursuant to the applicable regulations.  No such adjustment shall be taken into account before the year for which such adjustment first takes effect.




			
	
			
				 (4)
			

			
	
			
			Dollar Limit:




		 


		

			 

		


		

			EAST\83473092.3

		


		

			52

		




 


		

			 

		




			
	
			
				 (A)
			

			
	
			
			For participants who have one hour of service on or after the first day of the first limitation year ending after December 31, 2001, the “Dollar Limit” is $160,000, as adjusted, effective January 1 of each year, under Code § 415(d) in such manner as the Secretary of Treasury shall prescribe, and payable in the form of a straight life annuity.  A limitation as adjusted under Code § 415(d) will apply to limitation years ending with or within the calendar year for which the adjustment applies.




			
	
			
				 (B)
			

			
	
			
			For Plan Years ending on or before December 31, 2001, “Dollar Limit” means $90,000, as adjusted from time to time beginning January 1, 1988  to reflect increases in the cost of living pursuant to regulations prescribed by Code § 415(d), or if greater, the Participant’s accrued benefit under the Plan as of December 31, 1982.  No adjustment made pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be taken into account before the year for which such adjustment first takes effect.




			
	
			
				 (5)
			

			
	
			
			Compensation:




			
	
			
				 (A)
			

			
	
			
			“Compensation” for any Limitation Year means wages, salaries, and fees for professional services and other amounts received (without regard to whether or not an amount is paid in cash) for personal services actually rendered in the course of employment with the Company (or an Affiliate) maintaining the Plan to the extent that the amounts are includible in gross income (or to the extent amounts would have been received and includible in gross income but for an election under Code §§ 125(a), 132(f)(4), 402(e)(3), 402(h)(1)(B), 402(k), or 457(b)), including, but not limited to, commissions paid to salesmen, compensation for services on the basis of a percentage of profits, commissions on insurance premiums, tips, bonuses, fringe benefits, reimbursements or other expense allowances under a nonaccountable plan as described in Treas. Reg. § 1.62-2(c), and excluding the following:




			
	
			
				 (i)
			

			
	
			
			contributions (other than elective contributions described in Code §§ 402(e)(3), 408(k)(6), 408(p)(2)(A)(i) or 457(b)) made by the Company to a plan of deferred compensation (including a plan described in Code § 408(k) or 408(p), and whether or not qualified) to the extent the contributions are not includible in the employee’s gross income for the taxable year in which contributed. In addition, any distributions from a plan of deferred compensation (whether or not qualified) are not considered as Compensation for Code § 415 purposes, regardless of whether such amounts are included in gross income when received;




			
	
			
				 (ii)
			

			
	
			
			amounts realized from the exercise of a nonstatutory stock option, or when restricted stock (or other property) held by the employee either becomes freely transferrable or is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture;




			
	
			
				 (iii)
			

			
	
			
			amounts realized from the sale, exchange or other disposition of stock acquired under a statutory stock option;




		 


		

			 

		


		

			EAST\83473092.3

		


		

			53

		




 


		

			 

		




			
	
			
				 (iv)
			

			
	
			
			other amounts that receive special tax benefits, such as premiums for group-term life insurance (but only to the extent not taxable to the employee and are not salary reduction amounts described in Code § 125); and




			
	
			
				 (v)
			

			
	
			
			other items of income that are similar to any of the items listed in clauses (i) through (iv) above.




			
	
			
				 (B)
			

			
	
			
			Compensation Limit.  The annual compensation of each Participant taken into account in determining benefit accruals in any Plan Year beginning after December 31, 2001, shall not exceed $200,000.  Annual compensation means compensation during the Plan Year or such other consecutive 12-month period over which compensation is otherwise determined under the Plan (the “determination period”).  For purposes of determining benefit accruals in a Plan Year beginning after December 31, 2001, compensation for any prior determination period shall be limited as provided below:




			
	
			
				 (i)
			

			
	
			
			In determining benefit accruals in Plan Years beginning after December 31, 2001, the annual compensation limit set forth above; for determination periods beginning before January 1, 2002 the annual compensation limit shall be $150,000 for any determination period beginning in 1996 or earlier; $160,000 for any determination period beginning in 1997, 1998 or 1999; and $170,000 for any determination period beginning in 2000 or 2001.




			
	
			
				 (ii)
			

			
	
			
			The $200,000 limit on annual compensation above shall be adjusted for cost-of-living increases in accordance with Code § 401(a)(17)(B).  The cost-of-living adjustment in effect for a calendar year applies to annual compensation for the determination period that begins with or within such calendar year.




			
	
			
				 (C)
			

			
	
			
			Compensation timing rules.




			
	
			
				 (i)
			

			
	
			
			General:  In order to be taken into account for a Limitation Year, Compensation within the meaning of Code § 415(c)(3) must be (i) actually paid or made available to a Participant (or, if earlier, includible in the gross income of the Participant) within the Limitation Year, and (ii) except as provided in clause (ii) below, paid or treated as paid to the Participant prior to the Participant's severance from employment.  Any payment that is not described in this clause (i) or clause (ii) below is not considered Compensation if paid after severance from employment.  Thus, Compensation does not include severance pay, or parachute payments within the meaning of Code § 280G(b)(2), if they are paid after severance from employment, and does not include post-severance payments under a nonqualified unfunded deferred compensation plan unless the payments would have been paid at that time without regard to the severance from employment.




		 


		

			 

		


		

			EAST\83473092.3

		


		

			54

		




 


		

			 

		




			
	
			
				 (ii)
			

			
	
			
			Compensation paid after severance from employment.  Provided that payment is actually made by the later of 2 1⁄2 months after severance from employment or the end of the Limitation Year that includes the date of severance from employment, the following amounts are included in Compensation:  (1) regular compensation paid after severance from employment for services during the Participant's regular working hours, and compensation for services outside the Participant's regular working hours (such as overtime or shift differential), commissions, bonuses, or other similar payments; provided that the payment would have been paid to the Participant prior to a severance from employment if the Participant had continued in employment with the Company, and (2) payment for unused accrued bona fide sick, vacation, or other leave, but only if the Participant would have been able to use the leave if employment had continued.




			
	
			
				 (iii)
			

			
	
			
			Salary continuation payments for military service or disability.  The rule of clause (ii)(1) above shall not apply to: (1) payments to an individual who does not currently perform services for the Company by reason of qualified military service (as defined in Code § 414(u)(1)) to the extent those payments do not exceed the amounts the individual would have received if the individual had continued to perform services for the Company rather than entering qualified military service, or (2) payments made to an Participant who is permanently and totally disabled (as defined in Code § 22(e)(3)).




			
	
			
				 (iv)
			

			
	
			
			Interaction with Code § 417(a)(17).  The definition of Compensation for a Plan Year that is used for purposes of applying the limitations of Code § 415 shall not reflect Compensation for such year that is in excess of the limitation under Code § 401(a)(17) that applies to that Plan Year.”




			
	
			
				 (6)
			

			
	
			
			Limitation Year:  “Limitation Year” shall mean the calendar year.




			
	
			
				 14.02
			

			
	
			
			Limitation on Annual Benefits.




			
	
			
				 (a)
			

			
	
			
			Normal Payment Forms.  If a Participant’s Retirement Pension is payable as a qualified joint and survivor annuity or an annuity for life only, the annual amount of benefit payable to the Participant shall not exceed the lesser of the Dollar Limit or the Percentage Limit.  For this purpose, a “qualified joint and survivor annuity” means an annuity for the life of the Participant with a survivor annuity for the life of the Spouse which is not less than 50 percent and not more than 100 percent of the amount of the annuity that is payable during the joint lives of the Participant and the Spouse, and includes a Qualified Joint and Surviving Spouse Annuity payable under Section 7.02 or an optional form payable under Section 7.04.




			
	
			
				 (b)
			

			
	
			
			Other Payment Forms.  If a Participant’s Retirement Pension is payable in any form other than an annuity for life only or a qualified joint and survivor annuity, the annual amount of benefit payable to the Participant shall not exceed the Actuarial Equivalent of an annuity for life only which does not exceed the lesser of the Dollar Limit or the 
		

		 


		

			 

		


		

			EAST\83473092.3

		


		

			55

		






 


		

			 

		




			Percentage Limit.  In making such actuarial adjustment: (1) the actuarial principles set forth in Section 1.04 of Appendix A to this Plan shall be utilized (provided that the interest rate shall not be less than 5 percent); (2) no adjustment shall be made for any ancillary benefit provided under the Plan which is not directly related to retirement benefits, including, without limitation, disability benefits, medical benefits, and preretirement death benefits (including any such death benefit coverage described in Article 6); and (3) no adjustment shall be required for the value of post-retirement cost-of-living increases made in accordance with Code § 415(d).




			
	
			
				 (c)
			

			
	
			
			Employee Contributions.  In determining the annual amount of benefit, benefits derived from employee contributions shall be disregarded.




			
	
			
				 (d)
			

			
	
			
			Multiemployer Plans.  Any benefits provided under any multiemployer plan to which the Company or an Affiliate is a party shall be taken into account under this Article 14 only to the extent that the benefits provided under such plan exceed the benefits that would have been provided under such plan if the Participant had no service with the Company or an Affiliate.




			
	
			
				 14.03
			

			
	
			
			Adjustments for Early or Late Payment.




			
	
			
				 (a)
			

			
	
			
			The following adjustments shall apply for early or late payments:




			
	
			
				 (1)
			

			
	
			
			Payments Starting Prior to Age 62.




			
	
			
				 (A)
			

			
	
			
			Limitation Years Beginning Before July 1, 2007.  If a Participant’s Retirement Pension begins prior to age 62 and occurs in a Limitation Year beginning before July 1, 2007, the Dollar Limit applicable to the Participant at such earlier age is an annual benefit payable in the form of a straight life annuity beginning at the earlier age that is the actuarial equivalent of the Dollar Limit (adjusted under Section 14.05 for years of participation less than 10, if required).  Actuarial equivalence for this purpose is computed using whichever of the following produces the smaller annual amount: (1) the actuarial equivalent (at such age) of the Dollar Limit computed using the interest rate and mortality table (or other tabular factors) specified in Section 1.07 of Appendix A of the Plan; or (2) the actuarial equivalent (at such age) of the Dollar Limit computed using a 5 percent interest rate and the applicable mortality table as defined in Section 1.04 of Appendix A to the Plan.




			
	
			
				 (B)
			

			
	
			
			Limitation Years Beginning on or After July 1, 2007.




			
	
			
				 (i)
			

			
	
			
			Plan Does Not Have Immediately Commencing Straight Life Annuity Payable at Both Age 62 and the Age of Benefit Commencement.  If the annuity starting date for the Participant’s benefit is prior to age 62 and occurs in a Limitation Year beginning on or after July 1, 2007, and the Plan does not have an immediately commencing straight life annuity payable at both age 62 and the age of benefit commencement, the Dollar Limit for the Participant’s annuity starting date is the annual amount of a benefit payable in the form of a straight life annuity commencing at the Participant’s annuity starting date that is the actuarial

			equivalent of the Dollar Limit (adjusted under Section 14.05 for years of participation less than 10, if required) with actuarial equivalence computed using a 5 percent interest rate assumption and the applicable mortality table for the annuity starting date as defined in Section 1.04 of Appendix A to the Plan (and expressing the Participant’s age based on completed calendar months as of the annuity starting date).




			
	
			
				 (ii)
			

			
	
			
			Plan Has Immediately Commencing Straight Life Annuity Payable at Both Age 62 and the Age of Benefit Commencement.  If the annuity starting date for the Participant’s benefit is prior to age 62 and occurs in a Limitation Year beginning on or after July 1, 2007, and the Plan has an immediately commencing straight life annuity payable at both age 62 and the age of benefit commencement, the Dollar Limit for the Participant’s annuity starting date is the lesser of the limitation determined under clause (i) above and the Dollar Limit (adjusted under Section 14.05 for years of participation less than 10, if required) multiplied by the ratio of the annual amount of the immediately commencing straight life annuity under the Plan at the Participant’s annuity starting date to the annual amount of the immediately commencing straight life annuity under the Plan at age 62, both determined without applying the limitations of this Section 14.03.




			
	
			
				 (2)
			

			
	
			
			Payments Starting After Age 65.




			
	
			
				 (A)
			

			
	
			
			Limitation Years Beginning Before July 1, 2007.  If the annuity starting date for the Participant’s benefit is after age 65 and occurs in a Limitation Year beginning before July 1, 2007, the Dollar Limit for the Participant’s annuity starting date is the annual amount of a benefit payable in the form of a straight life annuity commencing at the Participant’s annuity starting date that is the actuarial equivalent of the Dollar Limit (adjusted under Section 14.05 for years of participation less than 10, if required) with actuarial equivalence computed using whichever of the following produces the smaller annual amount: (1) the interest rate and the mortality table (or other tabular factor) specified in Section 1.07 of Appendix A of the Plan, or (2) a 5 percent interest rate assumption and the applicable mortality table as defined in Section 1.04 of Appendix A to the Plan.




			
	
			
				 (B)
			

			
	
			
			Limitation Years Beginning On or After July 1, 2007.




			
	
			
				 (i)
			

			
	
			
			Plan Does Not Have Immediately Commencing Straight Life Annuity Payable at Both Age 65 and the Age of Benefit Commencement.  If the annuity starting date for the Participant’s benefit is after age 65 and occurs in a Limitation Year beginning on or after July 1, 2007, and the Plan does not have an immediately commencing straight life annuity payable at both age 65 and the age of benefit commencement, the Dollar Limit at the Participant’s annuity starting date is the annual amount of a benefit payable in the form of a straight life annuity commencing at 
		

		 


		

			 

		


		

			EAST\83473092.3

			the Participant’s annuity starting date that is the actuarial equivalent of the Dollar Limit (adjusted under Section 14.05 for years of participation less than 10, if required), with actuarial equivalence computed using a 5 percent interest rate assumption and the applicable mortality table for that annuity starting date as defined in Section 1.04 of Appendix A to the Plan (and expressing the Participant’s age based on completed calendar months as of the annuity starting date).




			
	
			
				 (ii)
			

			
	
			
			Plan Has Immediately Commencing Straight Life Annuity Payable at Both Age 65 and the Age of Benefit Commencement.  If the annuity starting date for the Participant’s benefit is after age 65 and occurs in a Limitation Year beginning on or after July 1, 2007, and the Plan has an immediately commencing straight life annuity payable at both age 65 and the age of benefit commencement, the Dollar Limit at the Participant’s annuity starting date is the lesser of the limitation determined under clause (i) above and the Dollar Limit (adjusted under Section 14.05 for years of participation less than 10, if required) multiplied by the ratio of the annual amount of the adjusted immediately commencing straight life annuity under the Plan at the Participant’s annuity starting date to the annual amount of the adjusted immediately commencing straight life annuity under the Plan at age 65, both determined without applying the limitations of this Section 14.03. For this purpose, the adjusted immediately commencing straight life annuity under the Plan at the Participant’s annuity starting date is the annual amount of such annuity payable to the Participant, computed disregarding the Participant’s accruals after age 65 but including actuarial adjustments even if those actuarial adjustments are used to offset accruals; and the adjusted immediately commencing straight life annuity under the Plan at age 65 is the annual amount of such annuity that would be payable under the Plan to a hypothetical participant who is age 65 and has the same accrued benefit as the participant.




			
	
			
				 (b)
			

			
	
			
			Any decrease in the Dollar Limit determined in accordance with Sections 14.03(a)(1) or (2) shall not reflect the mortality decrement to the extent that benefits will not be forfeited upon the death of the Participant.  If any benefits are forfeited upon death, the full mortality decrement is taken into account.




			
	
			
				 14.04
			

			
	
			
			Conditional Exemption for Pensions Under $10,000.  The Percentage Limit shall not be applicable to any Retirement Pension with respect to a Participant for any year if (1) the annual amount of employer‐provided retirement benefits payable with respect to such Participant under this Plan and all other defined benefit plans of the Company and Affiliates does not exceed ten thousand dollars ($10,000) for such year or any prior year, and (2) such Participant never participated in any defined contribution plan maintained by the Company or any Affiliate.




			
	
			
				 14.05
			

			
	
			
			Participants with Fewer than Ten Years of Service.

				 (a)
			

			
	
			
			If the Participant has less than 10 years of participation in the Plan, the Dollar Limit shall be reduced by 1/10th for each year of participation (or part thereof) less than 10.  If the Participant has less than 10 years of service with the Company and its Affiliates, the Percentage Limit shall be reduced by 1/10th for each year of service (or part thereof) less than 10.  Years of service shall include future years occurring before the Participant’s Normal Retirement Age.  Such future years shall include the year which contains the date the Participant reaches Normal Retirement Age, only if it can reasonably be anticipated that the Participant will receive a year of service for such year.




			
	
			
				 (b)
			

			
	
			
			For purposes of this Section 14.05, a Participant shall be credited with a year of participation (computed to fractional parts of a year) for each accrual computation period for which the following conditions are met:




			
	
			
				 (1)
			

			
	
			
			The Participant is credited with at least the number of Hours of Service for benefit accrual purposes, required under the terms of the Plan in order to accrue a benefit for the accrual computation period, and




			
	
			
				 (2)
			

			
	
			
			The Participant is included as a Participant under the eligibility provisions of the Plan for at least one day of the accrual computation period.  If these two conditions are met, the portion of a year of participation credited to the Participant shall equal the amount of benefit accrual service credited to the Participant for such accrual computation period.  A Participant who is permanently and totally disabled within the meaning of Code § 415(c)(3)(C)(i) for an accrual computation period shall receive a year of participation with respect to that period.  In no event will more than one year of participation be credited for any 12-month period.




			
	
			
				 14.06
			

			
	
			
			Benefits Payable Under More than one Defined Benefit Plan.  If benefits that are subject to the limitations of Code § 415 are payable under any other defined benefit plan maintained by the Company or any Affiliate (whether or not terminated), the benefits payable under this Plan, as limited by this Article 14, shall be subject to further limitation in order that the amount of employer‐provided benefits payable under all defined benefit plans maintained by the Company and all Affiliates shall not, in the aggregate, exceed the benefit limitations described in this Article 14.  If reduction in the benefits under such defined benefit plans in the aggregate is thus required, such reduction shall be applied in the reverse order in which benefits under such plans would otherwise accrue except as any such other plan may otherwise expressly provide; provided, however, that benefits under any multiemployer plan shall be reduced last.




			
	
			
				 14.07
			

			
	
			
			Benefits from Transferred Assets Disregarded.




			
	
			
				 (a)
			

			
	
			
			In applying the limitations of this Article 14, there shall be disregarded benefits provided under any plan taken into account hereunder (the “transferee plan”) that are attributable to assets transferred directly or indirectly from a predecessor plan.  For this purpose, the benefit attributable to assets transferred from any such predecessor plan shall be equal to the total benefit transferred by such plan to the transferee plan, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the total assets transferred and the denominator of which is the total liabilities transferred.




			
	
			
				 (b)
			

			
	
			
			For purposes of this Section 14.07, the term “predecessor plan” shall mean (1) a defined benefit plan (or succession of such plans) formerly maintained by an employer other 
		

		 


		

			 

		


		

			EAST\83473092.3

		


		

			59

		






 


		

			 

		




			than the Company or any Affiliate; provided, however, that if such a predecessor plan became maintained by the Company or any Affiliate prior to the transfer of assets to this Plan, the benefit that is disregarded pursuant to this Section 14.07 shall be determined as if such transfer occurred at the date that the predecessor plan was first maintained by the Company or such Affiliate, or (2) a defined contribution plan all or a part of whose assets were transferred to the Plan.




			
	
			
				ARTICLE 15.
			
“Top Heavy” Provisions




			
	
			
				 15.01
			

			
	
			
			Plans Included in Determination of “Top Heavy” Status.




			
	
			
				 (a)
			

			
	
			
			For purposes of this Article 15, “Applicable Plans” shall include:




			
	
			
				 (1)
			

			
	
			
			each plan of the Company or any Affiliate in which a Key Employee (as defined in Section 15.02 for this Plan, and as defined in Code § 416(i) for each other Applicable Plan) participates; and




			
	
			
				 (2)
			

			
	
			
			each other plan of the Company or any Affiliate which enables any plan described in Paragraph (l) above to meet the requirements of Code §§ 401(a)(4) and 410.




			
	
			
				 (b)
			

			
	
			
			Any plan not required to be included under subsection (a) above may also be included, at the option of the Company, provided that the requirements of Code §§ 401(a)(4) and 410 continue to be satisfied for the group of Applicable Plans after such inclusion.




			
	
			
				 (c)
			

			
	
			
			Applicable Plans may include terminated plans, frozen plans, and to the extent that benefits are provided with respect to service with the Company or an Affiliate, multiemployer plans (described in Code § 414(f)) and multiple employer plans (described in Code § 413(c)) to which the Company or an Affiliate makes contributions.




			
	
			
				 15.02
			

			
	
			
			“Key Employee”.




			
	
			
				 (a)
			

			
	
			
			Effective January 1, 2002, for purposes of this Article 15, “Key Employee” means any employee or former employee (including any deceased employee) who at any time during the Plan Year that includes the determination date was (1) an officer of the Company or an Affiliate having annual compensation greater than $130,000 (as adjusted under Code § 416(i)(1) for Plan Years beginning after December 31, 2002), (2) a 5-percent owner of the Company, or (3) a 1-percent owner of the Company having annual compensation of more than $150,000.  For this purpose, annual compensation means compensation within the meaning of Code § 415(c)(3).  The determination of who is a Key Employee will be made in accordance with Code § 416(i)(1) and the applicable regulations and other guidance of general applicability issued thereunder.




			
	
			
				 (b)
			

			
	
			
			Prior to January 1, 2002, for purposes of this Article 15, “Key Employee” means an employee (including a former employee, whether or not deceased) of the Company or an Affiliate who, at any time during a given Plan Year or any of the four (4) preceding Plan Years, is in one or more of the following categories:




			
	
			
				 (1)
			

			
	
			
			An officer of the Company or an Affiliate having “Compensation” (as defined in Code § 414(q)(7)), greater than 50% of the maximum dollar limitation described 
		

		 


		

			 

		


		

			EAST\83473092.3

		


		

			60

		






 


		

			 

		




			in Section 14.01(b)(3) for any such Plan Year; provided, that the number of employees treated as officers shall be no more than fifty or, if fewer, the greater of three employees or 10% of the employees (including “Leased Employees” as described in Section 16.01), exclusive of employees described in Code § 414(q)(8).




			
	
			
				 (2)
			

			
	
			
			One of the ten (10) employees (A) having Compensation of more than the maximum dollar limitation for defined contribution plans in effect under Code § 415(c)(1)(A) and (B) owning (or considered as owning, within the meaning of Code § 416(i)) the largest percentage interests in value of the Company or an Affiliate, provided, that such percentage interest exceeds one-half percent in value. If two employees have the same interest in the Company or an Affiliate, the employee having the greater Compensation shall be treated as having the larger interest.




			
	
			
				 (3)
			

			
	
			
			A person owning or considered as owning, within the meaning of Code § 416(i), more than five percent (5%) of the outstanding stock of the Company or an Affiliate, or stock possessing more than five percent (5%) of the total combined voting power of all stock of the corporation (or having more than five percent (5%) of the capital or profits interest in the Company or any Affiliate that is not a corporation, determined under similar principles).




			
	
			
				 (4)
			

			
	
			
			A one-percent (1%) owner of the Company or an Affiliate having Compensation of more than $150,000. “One-percent owner” means any person who would be described in Paragraph (3) above if “one percent (1%)” were substituted for “five percent (5%)” in each place where it appears therein.




			
	
			
				 15.03
			

			
	
			
			“Top Heavy” Test.  In any Plan Year beginning January 1, 1984 or thereafter during which the sum, for all Key Employees (as defined in Section 15.02 for this Plan and as defined in Code § 416(i) for each other Applicable Plan) (and their beneficiaries) of the present value of the cumulative accrued benefits under all Applicable Plans which are defined benefit plans (determined based on the actuarial assumptions set forth in Appendix A to this Plan) and the aggregate of the accounts under all Applicable Plans which are defined contribution plans, exceeds sixty percent (60%) of a similar sum determined for all participants in such plans (but excluding participants who are former Key Employees), the Plan shall be deemed “Top Heavy.” Solely for purposes of determining whether this Plan or any other Applicable Plan is “Top Heavy” for a given Plan Year, the accrued benefit of a participant other than a Key Employee shall be determined under (A) the method, if any, that uniformly applies for accrual purposes under all defined benefit plans maintained by the Company or any Affiliate, or (B) if there is no such method, as if such benefit accrued not more rapidly than the slowest accrual rate permitted under the fractional rule of Code § 411(b)(1)(C).




			
	
			
				 15.04
			

			
	
			
			Determination Dates.  The determination as to whether this Plan is “Top Heavy” for a given Plan Year shall be made as of the last day of the preceding Plan Year (the “Determination Date”); and other plans shall be included in determining whether this Plan is “Top Heavy” based on the determination date for each such plan which occurs in the same calendar year as such Determination Date for this Plan.




			
	
			
				 15.05
			

			
	
			
			Valuation.  The value of account balances and the present value of accrued benefits for each Applicable Plan will be determined, subject to Code § 416 and the regulations 
		

		 


		

			 

		


		

			EAST\83473092.3

		


		

			61

		






 


		

			 

		




			thereunder, as of the most recent valuation date that falls within or ends with the 12-month period ending on the applicable Determination Date for such plan if it is a defined contribution plan and the most recent valuation date used for determining such plan’s minimum funding requirements occurring during the 12-month period ending on the applicable Determination Date if it is a defined benefit plan.




			
	
			
				 15.06
			

			
	
			
			Distribution within Five Years.  Distributions from the Plan or any other Applicable Plan during the 5-year period ending on the applicable determination date shall be taken into account in determining whether the Plan is “Top Heavy.”  Effective January 1, 2002, this Section 15.06 shall be applied by substituting “1-year period” for “5-year period” except in the case of a distribution made for a reason other than severance from employment, death, or disability.




			
	
			
				 15.07
			

			
	
			
			No Service Within Five Years.  For plan years beginning on or after January 1, 1985, benefits and distributions under this Plan or any other Applicable Plan shall not be taken into account with respect to any individual who has not performed any services for the Company or an Affiliate at any time during the 5-year period ending on the applicable determination date.  Effective January 1, 2002, this Section 15.07 shall be applied by substituting “1-year period” for “5-year period.”




			
	
			
				 15.08
			

			
	
			
			Compliance With Code § 416.  The calculation of the “Top Heavy” ratio, and the extent to which distributions, amounts attributable to rollovers or similar transfers to and from this Plan or any other Applicable Plan shall be taken into account in accordance with applicable regulations.




			
	
			
				 15.09
			

			
	
			
			Beneficiaries.  The terms “Key Employee” and, for purposes of this Article 15, “participant” include their beneficiaries.




			
	
			
				 15.10
			

			
	
			
			Provisions Applicable in “Top Heavy” Years.




			
	
			
				 (a)
			

			
	
			
			For any Plan Year in which the Plan is deemed to be “Top Heavy,” the following provision shall apply:




			
	
			
				 (1)
			

			
	
			
			Minimum Accrued Benefits.




			
	
			
				 (A)
			

			
	
			
			The accrued benefit derived from employer contributions under the Plan of each Participant who is not a Key Employee, expressed as an annual benefit in single life annuity form beginning at Normal Retirement Date, shall be at least (i) two percent (2%) of the average of such Participant’s Earnings (as defined in Section 14.01(b)(5)) not in excess of the limits under Code § 401(a)(17) for the 5 calendar years in which such average is highest (excluding any such year after the Plan ceased to be “Top Heavy”) multiplied by (B) the number of Plan Years beginning on or after January 1, 1984 during which the Plan is “Top Heavy” and he has at least 1,000 Hours of Service, but not more than ten years.




			
	
			
				 (B)
			

			
	
			
			The foregoing provisions of this paragraph (1) shall apply before the corresponding provision of any Applicable Plan that is a defined contribution plan, and shall, to the extent necessary or appropriate, be deemed satisfied in whole or in part by benefits to the Participant provided under any other Applicable Plan, including without limitation, the 
		

		 


		

			 

		


		

			EAST\83473092.3

		


		

			62

		






 


		

			 

		




			actuarial equivalent of accumulated account balances under any defined contribution plans. A Participant’s accrued benefit, determined as of the last day of any Plan Year in which the Plan ceases to be “Top Heavy,” shall not be reduced because the Plan ceased to be “Top Heavy.”




			
	
			
				 (C)
			

			
	
			
			Effective January 1, 2002, for purposes of satisfying the minimum benefit requirements of Code § 416(c)(1) and the Plan, in determining years of service with the Company, any service with the Company shall be disregarded to the extent that such service occurs during a Plan Year when the Plan benefits (within the meaning of Code § 410(b)) no Key Employee or former Key Employee.




			
	
			
				 (2)
			

			
	
			
			Any Participant shall be vested in his accrued benefit derived from employer contributions on a basis at least as favorable as is provided under the following schedule:




			
					
						Vesting Service

					
					
						Percentage Vested

				
	
					
						Less Than 3 Years

					
					
						0%

				
	
					
						3 Years or More

					
					
						100%

				



		
			In any Plan Year in which the Plan is not deemed to be “Top Heavy” the minimum vested percentage shall be no less than that which was determined as of the last day of the last Plan Year in which the Plan was deemed to be “Top Heavy.”
		

			
	
			
				 15.11
			

			
	
			
			Represented Employees.  Sections 15.10(a)(1) and (3) shall not apply to any employee included in a unit of employees covered by a collective bargaining agreement, if retirement benefits are the subject of good faith bargaining.




			
	
			
				ARTICLE 16.
			
Leased Employees




			
	
			
				 16.01
			

			
	
			
			Definitions.  For purposes of this Article 16, the term “Leased Employee” means any person performing services for the Company or an Affiliate (hereinafter referred to as the “Recipient”) pursuant to an agreement between the Recipient and any other person (hereinafter referred to as the “Leasing Organization”), who has performed such services for the Recipient (including persons related to the Recipient within the meaning of Code § 103(b)(6)(c)) on a substantially full‐time basis for a period of at least one year, if such services are performed under primary direction or control by the Recipient.




			
	
			
				 16.02
			

			
	
			
			Treatment of Leased Employees.  For purposes of this Plan, a Leased Employee shall be treated as an employee of the Company, but not an Eligible Employee of the Company.  A Leased Employee’s service with the Recipient (including service prior to the effective date of this Article 16) shall be taken into account in determining his compliance with the service requirements of the Plan relating to participation and vesting should he ever become an Eligible Employee (but not for purposes of determining the amount of his benefits, his entitlement to retirement subsidies or ancillary benefits, or any purpose other than participation and vesting).

			Exception for Employees Covered by Plans of Leasing Organization.  Section 16.02 shall not apply to any Leased Employee if such employee is covered by a money purchase pension plan of the Leasing Organization meeting the requirements of Code § 414(n)(5) and Leased Employees do not constitute more than 20% of the aggregate “nonhighly compensated workforce” (as defined in Code § 414(n)(5)(C)(ii)) of the Company and Affiliates.

			Unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, the following actuarial assumptions shall be used to determine benefits under the Plan for Participants who either separate from service or accrue benefits on or after January 1, 2008.  As to all other Participants, actuarial determinations governing benefits under the Plan shall be made in accordance with the Plan as in effect before January 1, 2008.
		

			
	
			
				 1.01
			

			
	
			
			50% Joint and Surviving Spouse Annuity.




		
			The percentage of the Basic Monthly Benefit payable to the Participant and continuing to his Surviving Spouse at one half the rate (i.e., 50%) after his death during the remaining lifetime of such Spouse shall be determined using the following assumptions:
		

			
	
			
				 (1)
			

			
	
			
			Interest. 8%.

			75% Joint and Surviving Spouse Annuity Option.




		
			The percentage of the Basic Monthly Benefit payable to the Participant and continuing to his Surviving Spouse at three-fourths the rate (i.e., 75%) after his death during the remaining lifetime of such Spouse shall be determined using the following assumptions:
		

			
	
			
				 (1)
			

			
	
			
			Interest. 8%.




			
	
			
				 (2)
			

			
	
			
			Mortality. The 1983 Group Annuity Mortality Table for males for the participants and the 1983 Group Annuity Mortality Table for females for the spouse.

				 (2)
			

			
	
			
			Mortality. The 1983 Group Annuity Mortality Table for males for the participants and the 1983 Group Annuity Mortality Table for females for the spouse.

			Code § 415 Limits.




		
			For purposes of applying the limits of Code § 415, a retirement benefit that is payable in any form other than a straight life annuity and that is not subject to Code § 417(e)(3) must be adjusted to an actuarially equivalent straight life annuity that equals:
		

			
	
			
				 (1)
			

			
	
			
			For Limitation Years beginning on or after July 1, 2007, the greater of the annual amount of the straight life annuity (if any) payable under the Plan at the same annuity starting date, and the annual amount of a straight life annuity

			APPENDIX A-1

		






 


		

			 

		




			commencing at the same annuity starting date that has the same actuarial present value as the Participant’s form of benefit computed using an interest rate of 5 percent and the applicable mortality table under Code § 417(e)(3).




			
	
			
				 (2)
			

			
	
			
			For Limitation Years beginning before July 1, 2007, the annual amount of a straight life annuity commencing at the same annuity starting date that has the same actuarial present value as the Participant’s form of benefit computed using whichever of the following produces the greater annual amount: (i) the interest rate and mortality table or other tabular factor specified in the Plan for adjusting benefits in the same form; and (ii) a 5 percent interest rate assumption and the applicable mortality table under Code § 417(e)(3).




			
	
			
				 1.05
			

			
	
			
			Reemployed Pensioners, etc.




			
	
			
				 (1)
			

			
	
			
			For purposes of increasing a Participant’s Retirement Pension to reflect the value of excess Missed Payments as provided in Plan Section 7.09(a) and for reducing the pension of a Participant who had previously received benefits from an Affiliate or under another plan of the Company, as provided under Plan Section 5.07, the following factors shall be used:




			
	
			
				 (2)
			

			
	
			
			Interest:  8.00%




			
	
			
				 (3)
			

			
	
			
			Mortality:  The 1983 Group Annuity Mortality Table (males, 3 year setback)




			
	
			
				 1.06
			

			
	
			
			Benefit Forms Subject to Code § 417(e)(3).




		
			The straight life annuity that is actuarially equivalent to the Participant’s form of benefit shall be determined under this Section 1.06 if the form of the Participant’s benefit is a benefit form subject to Code § 417(e)(3).  In this case, the actuarially equivalent straight life annuity shall be determined as follows:
		

			
	
			
				 (1)
			

			
	
			
			Annuity Starting Date in Plan Years Beginning After 2005.  If the annuity starting date of the Participant’s form of benefit is in a Plan Year beginning after 2005, the actuarially equivalent straight life annuity is equal to the greatest of (i) the annual amount of the straight life annuity commencing at the same annuity starting date that has the same actuarial present value as the Participant’s form of benefit, computed using the interest rate specified in the Plan and the mortality table (or other tabular factor) specified in the Plan for adjusting benefits in the same form; (ii) the annual amount of the straight life annuity commencing at the same annuity starting date that has the same actuarial present value as the Participant’s form of benefit, computed using a 5.5 percent interest rate assumption and the applicable mortality table defined in Section 1.07(2) below; and (iii) the annual amount of the straight life annuity commencing at the same annuity starting date that has the same actuarial present value as the Participant’s form of benefit, computed using the applicable interest rate and the applicable mortality table defined in Section 1.07(2) below, divided by 1.05.

				 20.03
			

			
	
			
			Death of Surviving Spouse Before Distributions to Surviving Spouse Begin.  If the participant dies before the date distribution of his or her interest begins, the participant's surviving spouse is the participant's sole designated beneficiary, and the surviving spouse dies before distributions to the surviving spouse begin, this section 5 will apply as if the surviving spouse were the participant, except that the time by which distributions must begin will be determined without regard to section 2.2(a).

			Appleton Coated LLC (“Appleton Coated”) shall withdraw as, and cease to be, an entity included within the “Company” under the Plan as of the date of closing under a purchase agreement dated July 5, 2001, whereby Appleton Coated ceased to be a member of a group of businesses under common control, as defined in Code §§ 414(b) and (c) (the “Closing Date”).

			Determination of Transfer Amount.




			
	
			
				 (a)
			

			
	
			
			The Transfer Amount shall be the sum of (i) the aggregate actuarial present value of the accrued benefit liabilities under the Plan for Covered Employees on a termination basis, calculated as of the last day of the month in which the Closing Date occurs (the “Valuation Date”), by using the actuarial assumptions specified in Treasury Regulation Section 1.414(l)-1(b)(9), and by crediting Continued Employees with Benefit Service for the 2001 Plan Year through the Closing Date (whether or not such employee has been credited with the Hours of Service ordinarily required in order to accrue a benefit for the 2001 Plan Year) (the “Closing Pension Liability” for Covered Employees), plus (ii) a Pro-rata Share of Surplus Assets.  Surplus Assets shall equal the excess (if any) of the fair market value of assets of the API Plan on the Valuation Date, over the Closing Pension Liability for all current and former employees (and their beneficiaries) covered under the API Plan.  Pro-rate Share means the percentage determined by dividing (A) the Closing Pension Liability for Covered Employees by (B) the Closing Pension Liability for all current and former employees (and their beneficiaries) covered under the API Plan immediately prior to Closing.




			
	
			
				 (b)
			

			
	
			
			The Transfer Amount shall be adjusted for market performance from the Valuation Date to the date of the transfer of assets, and reduced by the amount of payments made pursuant to Section F1.04 hereof.




			
	
			
				 (c)
			

			
	
			
			In no event will the amount transferred be less than the amount required under Code § 414(l).  To the extent the Closing Pension Liability for all current and former employees (and their beneficiaries) covered under the API Plan is greater than the fair market value of API Plan assets on the Valuation Date, the Transfer Amount shall be reduced in accordance with Code § 414(l).




			
	
			
				 F2.04
			

			
	
			
			Payment of Benefits - Administration of Plan Prior to Transfer.




			
	
			
				 (a)
			

			
	
			
			During the period from the Closing Date until the transfer described in Section F1.02, (1) the payment of current benefits in respect of Covered Employees following the Closing Date may be made under such arrangements as Appleton Coated and the Company agree upon as reasonable and appropriate, and (2) the interests of Covered Employees in the Plan and the assets attributable to such interests shall continue to be administered for the benefit of the Covered Employees in the Plan and the assets attributable to such interests shall continue to be administered for the benefit of the Covered Employees in the same manner as administered before the Closing Date.




			
	
			
				 (b)
			

			
	
			
			To effect the foregoing (and without limiting the generality thereof), the Plan Administrator in its discretion may direct payment of currently payable benefits accrued prior to the Closing Date for Covered Employees who subsequently retire from and/or terminate employment with Appleton Coated with vested rights.

				 (1)
			

			
	
			
			Effective as of the Closing Date, Appleton Coated shall have in effect a defined benefit plan intended to be qualified under Code § 401(a) which shall provide benefits to Covered Employee substantially identical in all material respects (except for such changes as may be required by law) to those provided under the Plan as of the Closing Date.  Each Covered Employee shall become a participant in Appleton Coated’s Plan as of the Closing Date, subject to Appleton Coated Plan’s participation requirements regarding age and service.  Covered Employees shall receive credit for all service with the Company and Appleton Coated prior to the Closing Date for all purposes (including eligibility, vesting and benefit accruals) under Appleton Coated’s Plan.




			
	
			
				 (2)
			

			
	
			
			Counsel for Appleton Coated shall deliver to the Company an opinion of counsel in form satisfactory to the Plan Administrator to the effect that Appleton Coated’s Plan complies with the requirements for qualification under Code § 401(a).

				 F2.06
			

			
	
			
			Cessation of Liability with Respect to Covered Employees.  Effective upon the date of acceptance by Appleton Coated’s Plan of the transfer of assets contemplated by Section F1.02 (the “Transfer Date”), the Plan shall have no further responsibility or liability for benefits with respect to Covered Employees or any persons claiming though them, and such transfer shall be in full discharge of all such responsibilities and liabilities.  In the event that it should subsequently be determined that the amount transferred exceeded or was less than the amount required to be transferred by such provision, taking into account requirements of applicable law, the difference shall be refunded by Appleton Coated’s Plan, or transferred to Appleton Coated’s Plan, as the case may be.  However, the fact that such a subsequent adjustment is required shall not prevent the transfer of all responsibility and liability for benefits with respect to Covered Employees from being total and complete as of the Transfer Date.

			Disability Retirement Pension.




			
	
			
				 (1)
			

			
	
			
			If a Participant who is an Appleton Plant Employee with at least 5 years of Benefit Service terminates employment with the Company (20 years for Participants who terminate such employment prior to September 1, 1981, and 10 years for Participants who terminate such employment on or after September 1, 1981, but prior to January 1, 1989) on account of a Disability with respect to which he becomes eligible for and receives disability benefits under the Social Security Act (which shall be the definition of the term “Disability” for purposes of this Section G2.07(d), except as modified under Paragraphs (3) and (4) below),

			he will be entitled to a Disability Retirement Pension starting on the first day of the month coincident with or next following the date on which he actually starts receiving disability benefits under the Social Security Act (excluding retroactive payment of such benefits).  The monthly amount of a Participant’s Disability Retirement Pension will be determined under Section G2.07(a) based on his Benefit Service (determined in accordance with Section G2.06) and the benefit formula in effect at his Termination of Employment.




			
	
			
				 (2)
			

			
	
			
			A Participant described in subsection (1) above who is eligible for a Retirement Pension under any of the other provisions of Article 5 of the Plan or Section G2.07 may elect to receive any such other Retirement Pension instead of the Disability Retirement Pension provided by this Section G2.07(d).  The Disability Retirement Pension payable under this Section G2.07(d) is intended to be a disability auxiliary benefit as described in Treasury Regulation § 1.401(a)-20(c).  Thus, the annuity starting date for a Participant receiving a Disability Retirement Pension does not occur until the Participant attains Normal Retirement Age and such Participant’s surviving spouse, if any, would be entitled to the Pre-Retirement Surviving Spouse annuity described in Article 6 of the Plan if the Participant dies before Normal Retirement Age (or the commencement of benefits under any of the other provisions of the Plan, if applicable).




			
	
			
				 (3)
			

			
	
			
			Payment of a Disability Retirement Pension shall be conditioned upon the filing of an application therefor and providing such information as the Plan Administrator may require.  The Plan Administrator may, as a condition of authorizing any Disability Retirement Pension hereunder, require a medical examination by such physicians as the Plan Administrator may designate.  If a Participant fails or refuses to submit to such medical examination, then no Disability Retirement Pension will be payable until the Participant agrees to and receive such examination.  No Disability Retirement Pension will be payable for the period of such refusal.




			
	
			
				 (4)
			

			
	
			
			If a Participant recovers from his Disability prior to attaining his Normal Retirement Age to such an extent that he would no longer be eligible for disability benefits under the Social Security Act, he shall so notify the Plan Administrator and payment of his Disability Retirement Pension will cease.  If the Participant fails to notify the Plan Administrator of his recovery from his Disability, then any Disability Retirement Pension payments he received for which he was not eligible must be repaid to the Trust upon the direction of the Plan Administrator.  The Plan Administrator may require physical examination of the Participant by such physicians as the Plan Administrator may designate in order to verify the Participant’s continuing Disability, and may terminate payment of a Disability Retirement Pension in the event the Participant refuses to undergo such examination, or if the Plan Administrator determines, on the basis of such an examination or otherwise, that the Participant’s Disability has ceased.




			
	
			
				 (5)
			

			
	
			
			If a Participant’s Disability Retirement Pension ceases in accordance with Paragraph (4) above,  he will be entitled to benefits in accordance with Section G2.07(b) or G2.07(c) (whichever is applicable), based upon the benefit formula taken into account in determining the amount of his Disability Retirement Pension, provided, however, if the Participant returns to the employment of the Company and earns Eligible Hours, any additional benefits that may be payable

			to the Participant by reason of such reemployment upon his subsequent Termination of Employment will be based upon the benefit formula in effect upon such termination.  Any such benefits thereafter payable to such Participant will be reduced by the Actuarial Equivalent, based on the assumptions set forth in Section 1.07 of Appendix A to the Plan, of any Disability Retirement Pension payments found by the Plan Administrator to have been made after the Participant recovered from his Disability.




			
	
			
				 (e)
			

			
	
			
			Reemployment Before Pension Commencement Date.  If a Participant who is an Appleton Plant Employee and who is entitled to a Retirement Pension is reemployed by the Company before his Pension Commencement Date, benefits based on his Benefit Service credited after such reemployment will be based on the benefit formula in effect at the time of his subsequent Termination of Employment.  In such event, the amount of Retirement Pension payable with respect to Benefit Service credited prior to such reemployment will not be increased by any applicable increase in the benefit formula that may have occurred subsequent to the date of such previous Termination of Employment, until the Participant has been reemployed for a period of continuous active employment of at least 12 months.




			
	
			
				 (f)
			

			
	
			
			Participants Not Actively At Work.  If a Participant who is an Appleton Plant Employee is not actively at work immediately prior to his Termination of Employment because of layoff, medical leave of absence or other authorized leave of absence, his Retirement Pension (if any) under the Plan will be based on the benefit formula as in effect under the Plan no later than the last day that he was actively at work as an Eligible Employee.




			
	
			
				 G2.08
			

			
	
			
			Special Spouse Benefit Inapplicable.  For Participants who are Appleton Plant Employees, the “Special Spouse Benefit” described in Article 6 of the Plan shall not apply.




			
	
			
				 G2.09
			

			
	
			
			Additional Methods of Payment Provisions for Appleton Plant Employees.  In addition to the methods of payment provisions set forth in Section G2.07(d) (relating to Disability Retirement Pension) and Article 7 of the Plan, for Participants who are Appleton Plant Employees the following additional or alternative provisions regarding methods of payment shall apply, subject to the restrictions on electing an optional form of payment under Section 7.04 of the Plan:




			
	
			
				 (a)
			

			
	
			
			Annuity With Ten Year Certain Option.




			
	
			
				 (1)
			

			
	
			
			Subject to Section 7.04 of the Plan, a Participant who is an Appleton Plant Employee may elect to receive a reduced Retirement Pension payable to him monthly during his life which, in the event of the Participant’s death prior to receiving 120 monthly payments, will pay the same amount of reduced pension to the Participant’s Beneficiary until a combined total of 120 monthly payments have been made.




			
	
			
				 (2)
			

			
	
			
			In the event of the Participant’s death before his Pension Commencement Date, his election of the ten year certain option will be null and void.  If the Beneficiary dies before the Participant Pension Commencement Date, the election of the ten year certain option will be considered null and void unless the Participant designates a new Beneficiary before his Pension Commencement Date.

			Beneficiary Under Ten Year Certain Option.




			
	
			
				 (1)
			

			
	
			
			Subject to the further provisions of this Section G2.09(b), each Participant who elects the ten year certain option described in Section G2.09(a)(1) above may designate a person (who may be an individual, a trust, or his executors or administrators) as his Beneficiary under such option.  Such designation shall be made by executing and filing with the Plan Administrator a written designation of beneficiary, in such form and at such time as may be prescribed by the Plan Administrator.




			
	
			
				 (2)
			

			
	
			
			Notwithstanding Paragraph (1) above, a Participant’s sole Beneficiary shall be his Surviving Spouse, if the Participant has a Surviving Spouse, unless the Participant has designated another Beneficiary with Spousal Consent.  The provisions of this Paragraph (2) shall not apply with respect to a Spouse whom the Participant married after his Pension Commencement Date.




			
	
			
				 (3)
			

			
	
			
			A Participant may, at any time and from time to time in such manner as the Plan Administrator shall prescribe, change his designated Beneficiary, but, in any case where the provisions of Paragraph (2) apply, any such designation which has the effect of naming a person other than the Surviving Spouse as sole Beneficiary shall be made only with Spousal Consent.




			
	
			
				 (4)
			

			
	
			
			If a Participant has failed effectively to designate a Beneficiary, or a Beneficiary previously designated has predeceased the Participant and no alternative designation has become effective, the Beneficiary will be the Participant’s Surviving Spouse, or, if none, will be the Participant’s estate.  Any amounts remaining due under this Plan to a Beneficiary at the time of the Beneficiary’s death will, unless otherwise provided by the Participant in his designation of beneficiary, be paid to the Beneficiary’s estate.




			
	
			
				 (5)
			

			
	
			
			If the Beneficiary cannot be located for a period of one year following the Participant’s death despite mailing to the Beneficiary’s last known address and has not made written claim within such period to the Plan Administrator, such Beneficiary will be treated as having predeceased the Participant.  The foregoing provisions of this Paragraph (5) shall not apply to the Participant’s Surviving Spouse if such Spouse is the Participant’s presumptive Beneficiary under Paragraph (2).




			
	
			
				 (6)
			

			
	
			
			Any payments owing to a Participant’s or Beneficiary’s estate under this Plan will be commuted and paid in a single lump sum Actuarially Equivalent to the value of such payments.




			
	
			
				 (7)
			

			
	
			
			The foregoing provisions of this Section G2.09(b) shall not apply with respect to any Participant who dies on or after January 1, 1985 and has one paid Hour of Service or one hour of paid leave under the Plan or the Appleton Plant Plan on or after August 23, 1984.  The provisions of Section 7.07 of the Appleton Plant Plan as in effect on January 1, 1984 shall apply with respect to all other Participants.

				 (c)
			

			
	
			
			Contingent Annuitant Option.




			
	
			
				 (1)
			

			
	
			
			Subject to Section 7.04 of the Plan, a Participant who is an Appleton Plant Employee may elect the contingent annuitant option which will provide a reduced monthly amount of Retirement Pension for the lifetime of the Participant and for the continuance of 50%, 75% or 100% of such reduced monthly amount to a contingent annuitant named by the Participant, if living after the Participant’s death, to be paid for the remainder of the contingent annuitant’s lifetime.




			
	
			
				 (2)
			

			
	
			
			Each Participant who elects the contingent annuitant option must designate a contingent annuitant thereunder by executing and filing with the Plan Administrator a written designation thereof, in such form and at such time as may be prescribed by the Plan Administrator.




			
	
			
				 (3)
			

			
	
			
			If either a Participant or his contingent annuitant dies before his Pension Commencement Date, the Participant’s election of this option will be null and void.  If the contingent annuitant dies before the Participant but after the Participant’s Pension Commencement Date, no benefits will be payable under this option upon the death of the Participant, but the Participant’s Retirement Pension will continue to be payable to him during his life in the reduced amount provided under the option.




			
	
			
				 (4)
			

			
	
			
			An election of this option other than with the Participant’s Spouse as the contingent annuitant will be given effect only if the Actuarial Value of the payments to be made to the Participant under the option is more than 50% of the Actuarial Value of all payments to be made under the option and such payments are in accordance with the requirements of Treas. Reg. § 1.401(a)(9)-6(c).




			
	
			
				 G2.10
			

			
	
			
			Additional or Alternative Actuarial Assumptions.  The following additional or alternative actuarial assumptions shall apply, as applicable, with respect to a Participant who is an Appleton Plant Employee in lieu of any actuarial assumptions given in Appendix A to the Plan which would otherwise apply.  The actuarial assumptions set forth in Appendix A or this Section G2.10, as applicable, shall be used to determine benefits for Participants who are Appleton Plant Employees and who either separate from service or accrue benefits on or after January 1, 1984.  For all other such Participants, actuarial determinations governing benefits under the Plan or the Appleton Plant Plan shall be made in accordance with the Appleton Plant Plan as in effect before January 1, 1984.

				 (b)
			

			
	
			
			Such aggregate number of years of Vesting Service shall not include any years of Vesting Service that may be disregarded by reason of a prior application of this Section H2.06 or corresponding provisions of the Roaring Spring Mill Plan as previously in effect.




			
	
			
				 (c)

			Vested Retirement Pension.




			
	
			
				 (1)
			

			
	
			
			Upon the Termination of Employment of a Participant who is a Roaring Spring Mill Employee and who (A) has accrued at least one Hour of Service on or after January 1, 1989, (B) is not eligible for a Retirement Pension under Section H2.08(a) or H2.08(b) and (C) has completed at least five (5) years of Vesting Service, such Participant will be eligible to receive a vested Retirement Pension.




			
	
			
				 (2)
			

			
	
			
			Such vested Retirement Pension will start on the Participant’s Normal Retirement Date in a monthly amount determined in accordance with Section H2.08(a)(1), or if the Participant so elects (in a time and manner as the Plan Administrator may prescribe), on the first day of any month prior to his Normal Retirement Date, and coinciding with or following his 55th birthday in a reduced amount as provided in Section H2.08(b)(2)(B).




			
	
			
				 (d)
			

			
	
			
			Reemployment Before Pension Commencement Date.  If a Participant who is a Roaring Spring Mill Employee and who is entitled to a Retirement Pension is reemployed by the Company before his Pension Commencement Date, benefits based on his Benefit Service credited after such reemployment will be based on the benefit formula in effect at the time of his subsequent Termination of Employment.  In such event, the amount of Retirement Pension payable with respect to Benefit Service credited prior to such reemployment will not be increased by any applicable increase in the benefit formula that may have occurred subsequent to the date of such previous Termination of Employment, until the Participant has been reemployed for a period of continuous active employment of at least 12 months.




			
	
			
				 (e)
			

			
	
			
			Participants Not Actively At Work.  If a Participant who is a Roaring Spring Mill Employee is not actively at work immediately prior to his Termination of Employment because of layoff, medical leave of absence or other authorized leave of absence, his Retirement Pension (if any) under this Plan will be based on the benefit formula as in effect under the Plan no later than the last day that he was actively at work as an Eligible Employee.

				 (f)
			

			
	
			
			Total and Permanent Disability Benefit.




			
	
			
				 (1)
			

			
	
			
			Application.  The benefit provided hereunder is intended to be a disability auxiliary benefit as described in Treasury Regulation section 1.401(a)-20; A-10(c).  Thus, the annuity starting date for a Participant receiving a Total and Permanent Disability benefit does not occur until the Participant attains Normal Retirement Age and such Participant’s Surviving Spouse, if any, would be entitled to the Pre-Retirement Surviving Spouse Annuity described in Article 6 of the Plan if the Participant dies before Normal Retirement Age (or the commencement of benefits under any of the other provisions of Section H2.08 or Article 5, as applicable).




			
	
			
				 (2)
			

			
	
			
			Eligibility Requirements.  A Participant shall be eligible for Total and Permanent Disability benefit payments from the Plan upon meeting all the following requirements for “Total and Permanent Disability” for purposes of this Section 2.08(f):




			
	
			
				 (A)
			

			
	
			
			The Participant has not retired under any other provision of this Plan;




			
	
			
				 (B)
			

			
	
			
			The Participant has 10 or more years of Benefit Service;




			
	
			
				 (C)
			

			
	
			
			The Participant, on the basis of medical evidence satisfactory to the Company, is found to be both wholly and permanently prevented from engaging in any occupation or employment for wage or profit as a result of bodily injury or disease, either occupational or non-occupational in cause, but excluding disabilities resulting from service in the armed forces of any country (which shall be the definition of the term “Disability” for purposes of this Section H2.08(f)); and




			
	
			
				 (D)
			

			
	
			
			The Participant’s Termination of Employment with the Company is on account of the Participant’s Disability.




			
	
			
				 (3)
			

			
	
			
			Manner of Payment.  Payments shall be made monthly and shall be due immediately after the period covered by the Weekly Accident and Sickness Plan for which the Participant is eligible, or upon application date of approved claim for Total and Permanent Disability, or after the expiration of a period of six months following the commencement of such period of Disability, whichever is later.  Payments shall continue during the period of Total And Permanent Disability until the earliest of the attainment of Normal Retirement Age, death or recovery from such Disability.




			
	
			
				 (4)
			

			
	
			
			Amount of Payment.  Subject to Subsection (5) below, the monthly amount of a Participant’s Disability Retirement Pension shall be double the amount determined under Section H2.08(a), based on:




			
	
			
				 (A)
			

			
	
			
			the benefit formula applicable to terminations of employment occurring on the date of the Participant’s last day of actual work prior to his Termination of Employment on account of Disability, and

			SUPPLEMENT H-7

		




 


		

			 

		




			
	
			
				 (B)
			

			
	
			
			his Benefit Service as of such date, together with any additional Benefit Service credited to him thereafter as a result of crediting Hours of Service under Section H2.03(a) with respect to the period of his Disability.




			
	
			
				 (5)
			

			
	
			
			Reduction of Payment.  Unless waived by the Company, the Total and Permanent Disability monthly payments shall be reduced by the amount of any worker’s compensation or disability benefit receivable for a concurrent period by the Participant under any law, except to the extent such payments are provided by a specific tax, contribution or other payment paid by the Participant.




		
			In addition, Total and Permanent Disability benefits shall be reduced by one-half if the Participant is eligible for an unreduced Federal Social Security benefit.  The reduction shall be effective on the date the Participant’s benefits under Social Security are effective or would otherwise be.  The Company may require a Participant, as a condition to receiving a benefit hereunder, to sign an agreement under which the Participant agrees to repay any overpayments received as a result of any such reduction having not timely been made.
		

			
	
			
				 (6)
			

			
	
			
			Optional Retirement.  During the Disability, the Participant may elect to stop receiving Total and Permanent Disability payments at an optional early retirement age between 55 and 65 and start to receive the benefit provided under Section H2.08(a) or (b) of the Plan.




			
	
			
				 (7)
			

			
	
			
			Continued Proof of Disability.  Proof of the continuance of the Disability may be required by the Plan Administrator at any time, but no more than once per year after the first year of Disability.  Such proof may consist of the required medical statement forms completed by the Participant’s physician and approved by a physician designated by the Company.  If there is no agreement between the two aforementioned physicians, a third physician satisfactory to the Participant and the Company shall be asked to resolve the question.  If such Participant is deemed to be able to return to work and the Company refuses to accept such Participant for employment, payments will be continued until he is accepted for employment.




			
	
			
				 (8)
			

			
	
			
			Recovery from Disability.  If a Participant recovers from his Disability prior to his Normal Retirement Age, his Disability Retirement Pension shall cease.  If the Participant returns to the employ of the Company or an Affiliate within ninety (90) days after the end of his Disability and prior to his working full-time for any other person (disregarding any employment which is primarily for the purpose of rehabilitation), he shall continue as a Participant under the Plan and the period of his Disability shall not be treated as a Break in Service, but no Vesting Service or Benefit Service shall be credited for the period of Disability.  Upon his subsequent retirement or other Termination of Employment, the benefits based on his Benefit Service credited prior to his Disability shall be determined based on the benefit formula in effect on the Participant’s last day of actual work prior to his Termination of Employment on account of Disability, and the benefits based on his Benefit Service credited after his return shall be determined based on the benefit formula in effect at the time of his subsequent retirement or other Termination of Employment.  If the Participant recovers from his Disability prior to his Normal Retirement Age and does not return to the employ of the Company or an Affiliate within the aforesaid 90-day period, or is he refuses to submit proof of

			continued Disability as required under Subsection (7) above, he shall be deemed to have terminated his employment with the Company as of the date of his Termination of Employment on account of Disability, no Vesting Service or Benefit Service or Hours of Service shall be credited for any period after that date, and his right, if any, to benefits under the Plan shall be determined on that basis.




			
	
			
				 (9)
			

			
	
			
			Maximum Benefit Period.




			
	
			
				 (A)
			

			
	
			
			For Disability commencing before Participant’s attainment of age 60 – age 65.




			
	
			
				 (B)
			

			
	
			
			Disability commencing on or after Participant’s attainment of age 60 – 60 months.




			
	
			
				 H2.09
			

			
	
			
			Special Spouse Benefit Inapplicable.  For Participants who are Roaring Spring Mill Employees, the “Special Spouse Benefit” described in Article 6 of the Plan shall not apply.




			
	
			
				 H2.10
			

			
	
			
			Additional Methods of Payment Provisions for Roaring Spring Mill Employees.  In addition to the methods of payment provisions set forth in Article 7 of the Plan or Section H2.08(f) (relating to the Total and Permanent Disability Benefit), for Participants who are Roaring Spring Mill Employees the following additional or alternative provisions regarding methods of payment shall apply, subject to the restrictions on electing an optional form of payment under Section 7.04 of the Plan:




			
	
			
				 (a)
			

			
	
			
			Additional Condition for 75% or 100% Surviving Spouse Option.  Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7.05(b) of the Plan, if a Participant who is a Roaring Spring Mill Employee dies before his Pension Commencement Date, the Participant’s election of the 75% or 100% Surviving Spouse Option will be null and void.




			
	
			
				 (b)
			

			
	
			
			Offset for Accident or Sickness Benefits.  Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, no pension payments shall be payable to a Participant who is a Roaring Spring Mill Employee with respect to any period for which weekly accident or sickness benefits are payable to him under any Plan to which the Company has contributed.  If such accident and sickness benefits during any month are payable for a period of less than four and one-third weeks, the monthly pension payable for that period shall be reduced by the percentage which such period of accident and sickness benefits is of four and one-third weeks.




			
	
			
				 H2.11
			

			
	
			
			Additional or Alternative Actuarial Assumptions.  The following additional or alternative actuarial assumptions shall apply, as applicable, with respect to a Participant who is a Roaring Spring Mill Employee in lieu of any actuarial assumptions given in Appendix A to the Plan which would otherwise apply.  The actuarial assumptions set forth in Appendix A or this Section H2.11, as applicable, shall be used to determine benefits for Participants who are Roaring Spring Mill Employees and who either separate from service or accrue benefits on or after January 1, 1984.  For all other such Participants, actuarial determinations governing benefits under the Plan or the Roaring Spring Mill Plan shall be made in accordance with the Roaring Spring Mill Plan as in effect before January 1, 1984.

				 (1)
			

			
	
			
			A Participant who is a Harrisburg Plant Employee will be eligible to receive a Special Early Retirement Pension, in lieu of any Retirement Pension payable in accordance with Section I2.08(b), if his employment terminates while an Eligible Employee under the following circumstances:

			SUPPLEMENT I-6

		




 


		

			 

		




			
	
			
				 (C)
			

			
	
			
			no job or position is made available to him by the Company (a job or position will be deemed available even if it involved a transfer or reassignment).




			
	
			
				 (7)
			

			
	
			
			Payment of his Special Early Retirement Pension will start on the first day of the month coincident with or next following his Termination of Employment.  Such Special Early Retirement Pension will consist of:




			
	
			
				 (A)
			

			
	
			
			A monthly amount commencing on the Participant’s Normal Retirement Date, determined under Section I2.08(a), but without any reduction for commencement of payment prior to Normal Retirement Date, and payable in accordance with Section 7.01 or 7.02 of the Plan, whichever is applicable, and




			
	
			
				 (B)
			

			
	
			
			An additional monthly amount, equal to the monthly amount described in Paragraph (A) above, but starting on the first day of the month coincident with or next following his Termination of Employment and ending with the monthly payment for the month prior to his Normal Retirement Date or the month of his death, whichever occurs first.




			
	
			
				 (8)
			

			
	
			
			In determining (A) the period within which Qualified Elections may be made pursuant to Section 7.02(b) of the Plan and (B) eligibility for a Pre-retirement Surviving Spouse Annuity under Article 6 of the Plan, the Pension Commencement Date of a Participant whose employment terminates under this Section I2.08(c) shall be the date on which payment of the Retirement Pension under Section I2.08(c)(2)(B) starts.




			
	
			
				 (9)
			

			
	
			
			Unless the provisions of Section 7.02 of the Plan have been waived within 90 days prior to the Pension Commencement Date established under Section I2.08(c)(3) pursuant to a Qualified Election, the Surviving Spouse of a Participant who terminates under this Section I2.08(c) shall be entitled to a monthly benefit for life determined as follows:




			
	
			
				 (A)
			

			
	
			
			If the Participant dies before his Normal Retirement Date, his Surviving Spouse will be entitled to a monthly benefit in the amount that would have then become payable to such spouse under a Qualified Joint and Surviving Spouse Annuity if the Participant’s benefits had begun in that form in an amount determined under Section I2.08(b)(2)(B) rather than under Section I2.08(c).




			
	
			
				 (B)
			

			
	
			
			If the Participant dies on or after his Normal Retirement Date, his Surviving Spouse will be entitled to a monthly benefit in an amount that would then become payable under a Qualified Joint and Surviving Spouse Annuity if the Participant’s benefits had begun in that form in an amount determined under Section I2.08(c)(2)(A) (i.e., no reduction shall be made for the commencement of payment prior to Normal Retirement Date under Section I2.08(b).

				 (d)
			

			
	
			
			Vested Retirement Pension.




			
	
			
				 (1)
			

			
	
			
			Upon the Termination of Employment of a Participant who is a Harrisburg Plant Employee and who (A) has accrued at least on Hour of Service on or after January 1, 1989 and (B) is not eligible for a Retirement Pension under Sections I 2.08(a), I2.08(b) or I2.08(c) and (C) has completed at least five (5) years of Vesting Service, such Participant will be eligible to receive a Vested Retirement Pension.




			
	
			
				 (10)
			

			
	
			
			Such Vested Retirement Pension will start on the Participant’s Normal Retirement Date in a monthly amount determined in accordance with Section I2.08(a)(1), or if the Participant so elects (in a time and manner as the Plan Administrator may prescribe), on the first day of any month prior to his Normal Retirement Date, and coinciding with or following his 55th birthday in a reduced amount as provided in Section I2.08(b)(2)(B).




			
	
			
				 (e)
			

			
	
			
			Reemployment Before Pension Commencement Date.  If a Participant who is a Harrisburg Plant Employee and who is entitled to a Retirement Pension is reemployed by the Company before his Pension Commencement Date, benefits based on his Benefit Service credited after such reemployment will be based on the benefit formula in effect at the time of his subsequent Termination of Employment.  In such event, the amount of Retirement Pension payable with respect to Benefit Service credited prior to such reemployment will not be increased by any applicable increase in the benefit formula that may have occurred subsequent to the date of such previous Termination of Employment, until the Participant has been reemployed for a period of continuous active employment of at least 12 months.




			
	
			
				 (f)
			

			
	
			
			Participants Not Actively At Work.  If a Participant is not actively at work immediately prior to his Termination of Employment because of layoff, medical leave of absence or other authorized leave of absence, his Retirement Pension (if any) under this Plan will be based on the benefit formula as in effect under the Plan no later than the last day that he was actively at work.




			
	
			
				 (g)
			

			
	
			
			Total and Permanent Disability Benefit.




			
	
			
				 (1)
			

			
	
			
			Application.  The benefit provided hereunder is intended to be a disability auxiliary benefit as described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.401(a)-20; A-10(c).  Thus, the annuity starting date for a Participant receiving a Total and Permanent Disability Benefit does not occur until the Participant attains Normal Retirement Age and such Participant’s surviving spouse, if any, would be entitled to the Pre-Retirement Surviving Spouse Annuity described in Article 6 if the Participant dies before Normal Retirement Age (or the commencement of benefits under any of the other provisions of Section I2.08 or Article 5, as applicable).




			
	
			
				 (11)
			

			
	
			
			Eligibility Requirements.  A Participant shall be eligible for Total and Permanent Disability Benefit payments from the Plan upon meeting all of the following requirements for “Total and Permanent Disability”:




			
	
			
				 (A)
			

			
	
			
			The Participant has not retired under any other provision of this Plan;




		 


		

			EAST\83473092.3

		


		

			SUPPLEMENT I-8

		




 


		

			 

		




			
	
			
				 (B)
			

			
	
			
			The Participant is not eligible for long-term disability benefits under any other plan of the Company (due to pre-existing conditions, or otherwise);




			
	
			
				 (C)
			

			
	
			
			The Participant has 10 or more years of Benefit Service;




			
	
			
				 (D)
			

			
	
			
			The Participant, on the basis of medical evidence satisfactory to the Company, is found to be both wholly and permanently prevented from engaging in any occupation or employment for wage or profit as a result of bodily injury or disease, either occupational or non-occupational in cause, but excluding disabilities resulting from service in the armed forces of any country (which shall be the definition of the term “Disability” for purposes of this Section I2.08(g)); and




			
	
			
				 (E)
			

			
	
			
			The Participant’s Termination of Employment with the Company is on account of such Participant’s Disability.




			
	
			
				 (12)
			

			
	
			
			Manner of Payment.  Payments shall be made monthly and shall be due immediately after the period covered by the Weekly Accident and Sickness Plan for which the Participant is eligible, or upon application date of approved claim for Total and Permanent Disability, or after the expiration of six months following the commencement of such period of Disability, whichever is later.  Payments shall continue during the period of Total and Permanent Disability until the earliest of the attainment of Normal Retirement Age, death or recovery from such Disability.




			
	
			
				 (13)
			

			
	
			
			Amount of Payment.  Subject to Paragraph (5) below, the monthly amount of a Participant’s Disability Retirement Pension shall be double the amount determined under Section I2.08(a), based on:




			
	
			
				 (A)
			

			
	
			
			the benefit formula applicable to terminations of employment occurring on the date of the Participant’s last day of actual work prior to his Termination of Employment on account of Disability; and




			
	
			
				 (B)
			

			
	
			
			his Benefit Service as of such date, together with any additional Benefit Service credited to him thereafter as a result of the crediting of Hours of Service under Section 4.01(a)(2) with respect to the period of his Disability.




			
	
			
				 (14)
			

			
	
			
			Reduction of Payment.  Unless waived by the Company, the Total and Permanent Disability monthly payments shall be reduced by the amount of any worker’s compensation or disability benefit receivable for a concurrent period by the Participant under any law, except to the extent such payments are provided by a specific tax, contribution or other payment paid by the Participant.




		
			In addition, Total and Permanent Disability benefits shall be reduced by one-half if the Participant is eligible for an unreduced Federal Social Security benefit.  The reduction shall be effective on the date the Participant’s benefits under Social Security are effective or would otherwise be.  The Company may require a Participant, as a condition to receiving a benefit hereunder, to sign an agreement under which the Participant agrees to repay any overpayments received as a result of any such reduction having not been timely made.

			SUPPLEMENT I-9

		




 


		

			 

		




			
	
			
				 (15)
			

			
	
			
			Optional Retirement.  During the Disability, the Participant may elect to stop receiving Total and Permanent Disability payments at an optional early retirement age between 55 and 65 and start to receive the benefit provided under Section I2.08(a) or (b).




			
	
			
				 (16)
			

			
	
			
			Continued Proof of Disability.  Proof of the continuance of the Disability may be required by the Company at any time, but no more than once per year after the first year of Disability.  Such proof shall consist of the required medical statement forms completed by the Participant’s physician and approved by a physician designated by the Company.  If there is no agreement between the two aforementioned physicians, a third physician satisfactory to the Participant and the Company shall be asked to resolve the question.  If such Participant is deemed to be able to return to work and the Company refuses to accept such Participant for employment, payments will be continued until he is accepted for employment.




			
	
			
				 (17)
			

			
	
			
			Recovery from Disability.  If a Participant recovers from his Disability prior to his Normal Retirement Age, his Total and Permanent Disability Benefit shall cease.




			
	
			
				 (18)
			

			
	
			
			Maximum Benefit Period.




			
	
			
				 (A)
			

			
	
			
			For Disability commencing before Participant’s attainment of age 60 – age 65.




			
	
			
				 (B)
			

			
	
			
			For Disability commencing on or after Participant’s attainment of age 60 – 60 months.




			
	
			
				 (h)
			

			
	
			
			Disability Retirement Pension.   In lieu of the Total and Permanent Disability Benefit described in subsection (g) of this Section I2.08, a Harrisburg Plant Employee who is or becomes eligible for benefits under a long-term disability plan of the Company shall be entitled to a Disability Retirement Benefit determined under Section 5.04 of the Plan, subject to the terms and conditions thereof, except that (i) the benefit formula set forth in Section 12.08 shall apply to the calculation of the Participant's accrued benefit, (ii) the terms "Benefit Service" and "Vesting Service" shall be defined as set forth in this Sections 12.04 and 12.05 respectively, and (iii) the definition of the term "Disability" set forth in Section I2.08(g)(2)(D) shall apply to the determination of such Disability Retirement Pension.    




			
	
			
				 (i)
			

			
	
			
			Enhanced Retirement Program.




			
	
			
				 (1)

				 (19)
			

			
	
			
			If a covered Participant elects, during a fixed period of time established by the Company, voluntarily to retire from the service of the Company, such Participant shall be eligible to receive a Retirement Pension under this Section I2.08(i) in lieu of any other Retirement Pension provided under Article 5 or Section I2.08 of the

			Plan.  Such election shall be made on a form and in the manner prescribed by the Plan Administrator.

				 (A)
			

			
	
			
			Five (5) years shall be added to Participant’s accrued years of Benefit Service;

			West Carrollton, OH Plant Employees whose Employment Date is September 24, 2012 or later, or who were actively employed by the Company as of September 23, 2012 but were not eligible to receive PIUMPF contributions, shall become Participants in the Plan as set forth in Article 2 of the Plan ("Participation").

			K2.02Benefit Service.
		

		
			(a)Benefit Service will be granted to each Participant who is a West Carrollton, OH Plant Employee for a Plan Year on the basis of his total Hours of Service during such year and prior to his Normal Retirement Date which are attributable to employment as an Eligible Employee on and after September 24, 2012 ("Eligible Hours"). For this purpose, Hours of Service credited for periods of absence from employment which immediately follow employment as an Eligible Employee shall be deemed to be attributable to employment as an Eligible Employee.
		

			
	
			
				 (1)
			

			
	
			
			For Plan Years commencing on and after January 1, 2013: If the Participant's regularly scheduled work week throughout a Plan Year is at least 40 hours, he will be credited with one year of Benefit Service for each such Plan Year during which he completes at least 2,000 Eligible Hours. If the Participant's regularly scheduled work week is not at least 40 hours throughout such year, he will be credited with one year of Benefit Service for each Plan Year during which he completes the number of Eligible Hours determined in accordance with the following formula:




		
			(2.000 x Hours in Regularly Scheduled Work Week)
		

		
			40
		

			
	
			
				 (2)
			

			
	
			
			Partial Years of Benefit Service: In addition, for any Plan Year during which the Participant completes less than the Eligible Hours required for a full year of Benefit Service, a fraction of a year of Benefit Service will be credited based on the ratio of his actual Eligible Hours during such Plan Year to the number of Eligible Hours so required for a full year of Benefit Service, rounded up to the nearest tenth (prorated for 2012).




		
			K2.03Vesting Service. A Participant who is a West Carrollton, OH Plant Employee will be credited with 1 year of Vesting Service for each Plan Year in which he has at least 1,000 Hours of Service with the Company (whether before or after the date he became a Participant).

			Early Retirement Pension. If such Participant's employment terminates on or after the date he has both reached age 55 and completed at least 10 years of Vesting Service (and before his Normal Retirement Age), the Participant may elect (in a time and manner as the Plan Administrator may prescribe) to receive an Early Retirement Pension starting on the first day of any month coincident with or following the date his employment terminates and before his Normal Retirement Date, in a monthly amount determined under Section K2.04(a)(1) above, reduced in accordance with the following table:

			Disability Retirement Pension. 




			
	
			
				 (A)
			

			
	
			
			If a Participant who is a West Carrollton, OH Plant Employee with at least 5 years of Vesting Service terminates employment with the Company on account of a Disability with respect to which he becomes eligible for and receives disability benefits under the Social Security Act (which shall be the definition of the term "Disability" for purposes of this Section K2.04(a)(4), except as modified under subparagraphs (C) and (D) below), he will be entitled to a Disability Retirement Pension starting on the first day of the month coincident with or next following the date on which he actually starts receiving disability benefits under the Social Security Act (excluding retroactive payment of such benefits). The monthly amount of a Participant's Disability Retirement Pension will be determined under Section K2.04(a)(1) based on his Benefit Service (determined in accordance with Section K2.02) and the benefit formula in effect at his Termination of Employment.




			
	
			
				 (B)
			

			
	
			
			A Participant described in subparagraph (A) above who is eligible for a Retirement Pension under any of the other provisions of Section K2.04 may elect to receive any such other Retirement Pension instead of the Disability Retirement Pension provided by this Section K2.04(a)(4). The Disability Retirement Pension payable under this Section K2.04(a)(4) is intended to be a disability auxiliary benefit as described in Treasury Regulation § 1.401(a)-20(c). Thus, the annuity starting date for a Participant receiving a Disability Retirement Pension does not occur until the Participant attains Normal Retirement Age and such Participant's surviving spouse, if any, would be entitled to the Pre-Retirement Surviving Spouse annuity described in Article 6 of the Plan if the Participant dies before Normal Retirement Age (or the commencement of benefits under any of the other provisions of the Plan, if applicable).




			
	
			
				 (C)
			

			
	
			
			Payment of a Disability Retirement Pension shall be conditioned upon the filing of an application therefor and providing such information as the Plan Administrator may require. The Plan Administrator may, as a condition of authorizing any Disability Retirement Pension hereunder, require a medical examination by such physicians as the Plan Administrator may designate. If a Participant fails or refuses to submit to such medical examination, then no Disability Retirement Pension will be payable until the Participant agrees to

			SUPPLEMENT K-4

		






 


		

			 

		




			and receive such examination. No Disability Retirement Pension will be payable for the period of such refusal.




			
	
			
				 (D)
			

			
	
			
			If a Participant recovers from his Disability prior to attaining his Normal Retirement Age to such an extent that he would no longer be eligible for disability benefits under the Social Security Act, he shall so notify the Plan Administrator and payment of his Disability Retirement Pension will cease. If the Participant fails to notify the Plan Administrator of his recovery from his Disability, then any Disability Retirement Pension payments he received for which he was not eligible must be repaid to the Trust upon the direction of the Plan Administrator. The Plan Administrator may require physical examination of the Participant by such physicians as the Plan Administrator may designate in order to verify the Participant's continuing Disability, and may terminate payment of a Disability Retirement Pension in the event the Participant refuses to undergo such examination, or if the Plan Administrator determines, on the basis of such an examination or otherwise, that the Participant's Disability has ceased.




			
	
			
				 (E)
			

			
	
			
			If a Participant's Disability Retirement Pension ceases in accordance with subparagraph (D) above, he will be entitled to benefits in accordance with Section K2.04(a)(2) or K2.04(a)(3) (whichever is applicable), based upon the benefit formula taken into account in determining the amount of his Disability Retirement Pension, provided, however, if the Participant returns to the employment of the Company and earns Eligible Hours, any additional benefits that may be payable to the Participant by reason of such reemployment upon his subsequent Termination of Employment will be based upon the benefit formula in effect upon such termination. Any such benefits thereafter payable to such Participant will be reduced by the Actuarial Equivalent, based on the assumptions set forth in Section 1.07 of Appendix A to the Plan, of any Disability Retirement Pension payments found by the Plan Administrator to have been made after the Participant recovered from his Disability.




		
			(b) If an Early Retirement Pension or Vested Retirement Pension begins at a date between the ages set forth in the tables in Section K2.04(a)(2) and (3), the reduction shall be calculated by straight line interpolation of the applicable percentage factors.
		

		
			K2.05Method of Payment. Except as modified by this Supplement K, Article 7 of the Plan ("Method of Payment") shall apply in all respects.
