DEFINITIONS

 

2.1           Definitions.  As used herein, the following words and phrases, when they appear with initial letters capitalized as indicated below, have the meanings hereinafter set forth:

 

(a)                                  A Participant’s “Accrued Benefit” as of any date means the portion of his monthly normal retirement benefit accrued as of that date determined as provided in Article V, based on his years of Credited Service and his Average Monthly Earnings determined as of that date.

 

(b)                                 The “Actuarial Equivalent” of a value means the actuarial equivalent determined using the 1994 Group Annuity Reserving Table (94 GAR) and an interest rate of 7.5 percent, except that in determining the present value of a Participant’s Accrued Benefit under the Plan for purposes of a single sum payment, the following factors shall be used:  (i) the table prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury, which shall be based on the prevailing commissioners’ standard table, described in Code Section 807(d)(5)(A), used to determine reserves for group annuity contracts issued on the date as of which present value is being determined (without regard to any other subparagraph of Code Section 807(d)(5)) and (ii) the annual rate of interest on 30-year Treasury securities for the second calendar month preceding the Plan Year in which the distribution is made.

 

(c)                                  An “Affiliated Company” means any corporation or business which would be aggregated with the Employer for a relevant purpose under Code Section 414.

 

(d)                                 A Participant’s, or Beneficiary’s, if the Participant has died, “Annuity Starting Date” means the first day of the first period for which an amount is paid as an annuity or, in the case of a single sum payment, the first day on which all events

 











 

have occurred which entitle the Participant, or his Beneficiary, if applicable, to such benefit.

 

If a Participant whose Annuity Starting Date has occurred is reemployed by the Employer resulting in a suspension of benefits in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.1, for purposes of determining the form of payment of such Participant’s benefit upon his subsequent retirement, such prior Annuity Starting Date shall apply to benefits accrued prior to the Participant’s reemployment.  Such prior Annuity Starting Date shall also apply to benefits accrued following the Participant’s reemployment if such prior Annuity Starting Date occurred on or after the Participant’s Normal Retirement Date.  Such prior Annuity Starting Date shall not apply to benefits accrued following the Participant’s reemployment if such prior Annuity Starting Date occurred prior to the Participant’s Normal Retirement Date.

 

(e)                                  A Participant’s “Average Monthly Earnings” means his highest average monthly Earnings received for any 60 consecutive calendar months out of the 120 consecutive calendar months for which the employee received Earnings immediately preceding the date the Participant’s employment terminates (in the case of Relocated Employees) or the Participant’s end date (in the case of Employees on Severance).  For purposes of determining consecutive months, calendar months other than full months during which the Participant received Earnings shall be considered if doing so would be beneficial to the Participant, but otherwise shall be disregarded.  A calendar month is an “earnings computation period.”

 

Earnings prior to the Effective Date, in addition to Earnings on and after the Effective Date, are used for the purpose of determining a Participant’s Average Monthly Earnings.

 

(f)                                    A Participant’s “Beneficiary” means any beneficiary who is entitled to receive a benefit under the Plan upon the death of the Participant.

(h)                                 The “Code” means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time.  References to a Code section shall include (1) such section and any comparable section or sections of any future legislation that amends, supplements, or supersedes such section and (ii) all rulings, regulations, notices, announcements, and other pronouncements issued by the U.S. Treasury Department, the Internal Revenue Service, and any court of competent jurisdiction that relate to such section.

7.3           Amount of Deferred Vested Retirement Benefit.  An eligible Participant’s monthly deferred vested retirement benefit shall be equal to his vested Accrued Benefit on the date of his termination of employment.

 

7.4           Payment.  A monthly deferred vested retirement benefit shall be paid to an eligible Participant commencing as of his Normal Retirement Date.

 

7.5           Immediate Payment Option.  Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, if the Actuarially Equivalent present value of a Participant’s Accrued Benefit is greater than $5,000 and less than $10,000, the Participant may elect to begin benefit payments as soon as reasonably practicable following his termination of employment in the normal form of payment provided in Section 9.1; provided, however, that a married Participant may waive the normal 50 percent Joint and Survivor Annuity described in paragraph (b) of Section 9.1 and elect the single life annuity described in paragraph (a) of Section 9.1.  In lieu of receiving payment in one of the normal forms, a Participant may elect to receive a single sum payment of the full Actuarially Equivalent present value of his Accrued Benefit.  If a single sum payment is elected, there will be no further benefit due from the Plan.

ARTICLE VIII

DISABILITY BENEFIT

 

8.1           Eligibility.  Each Participant who suffers permanent and total disability while actively employed by an Employer or an Affiliated Company but prior to his Normal Retirement Date and who has at least 10 years of Service and who is not receiving weekly indemnity benefits (LTD) under the Employer’s group protection plan, shall be eligible for a disability benefit.  For purposes of this Article, “permanent and total disability” means any physical or mental condition that will be permanent and which prevents the Participant from engaging in any regular occupation or employment, other than employment for purposes of rehabilitation, as determined by the Committee, in its discretion, on the basis of medical evidence satisfactory to the Committee.  A Participant shall not be deemed to have suffered permanent and total disability if he is not entitled to disability benefits under Title II of the Social Security Act or his condition resulted directed or indirectly from military service for which a government pension is available.

 

8.2           Amount.  An eligible Participant’s monthly disability benefit shall be equal to the greater of his Accrued Benefit on the date his disability commenced or $500 per month; provided, however, that if the Participant is also receiving an ancillary disability benefit under the ISOLA Laminate Systems Corp. Retirement Plan, the monthly disability benefit under the Plan shall be limited such that the sum of the monthly disability benefit under the Plan and the monthly ancillary disability benefit under that plan shall not exceed the greater of (i) the sum of his Accrued Benefit on the date his disability commenced and his accrued benefit under the ISOLA Laminate Systems Corp. Retirement Plan on the date his disability commenced, or (ii) $500.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the amount of any disability benefit payable for any month shall be reduced by payments received by the Participant from Workers’ Compensation, other than fixed statutory Workers’ Compensation payments for loss of any bodily member or loss of industrial vision.

 

8.3           Payment.  A monthly disability payment shall be paid to an eligible Participant commencing as of the first day of the month following the later of:

 

(a)                                  the expiration of five months from the date on which his permanent and total disability commenced; or

 

(b)                                 the month in which he makes written application for the benefit.

 

A Participant’s Annuity Starting Date will not be deemed to have occurred simply because payment of disability benefits have commenced to him hereunder.

 

Payment of a monthly disability benefit shall continue to a Participant until his Normal Retirement Date, or until otherwise terminated as hereinafter provided.  Any Participant who continuously up to his Normal Retirement Date receives a disability benefit under the Plan shall be deemed for all Plan purposes to have retired upon the occurrence of his

 

12











 

Normal Retirement Date and shall be eligible for a normal retirement benefit in an amount determined as provided in Section 5.2, but based on his years of Credited Service and the provisions of the Plan in effect on the date his disability commenced.

 

8.4           Termination of Disability Benefit Prior to Normal Retirement Date.  Disability benefit payments shall terminate if, prior to the Participant’s Normal Retirement Date, the Participant

 

(a)           ceases to be disabled;

 

(b)           dies; or

 

(c)           refuses to undergo a medical examination requested by his Employer.

 

If a Participant’s disability benefit ceases prior to his Normal Retirement Date, and if he does not return promptly to work with his Employer, his employment thereupon shall be deemed terminated for all Plan purposes, and he shall be eligible for an early retirement benefit in an amount determined in the same manner as specified in Section 6.2, or a deferred vested retirement benefit in an amount determined in the same manner as specified in Section 7.3, but based on his years of Credited Service and the provisions of the Plan in effect on the date his disability commenced and only if he meets the eligibility requirements for such benefit as in effect on the date his disability commenced.  If such Participant’s disability benefit ceases prior to his Normal Retirement Date, and if he returns promptly to work with an Employer, he shall not be entitled to any benefits under this Article VIII on account of his prior disability (or on account of the cessation of his disability benefit), and he thereupon shall continue as an Employee in accordance with and subject to the remaining provisions of the Plan.

 

8.5           Medical Examination.  In determining whether or not a Participant is or continues to be permanently and totally disabled, the Committee may require the Participant to submit to a medical examination by a physician acceptable to it.  The Committee may not require a Participant to submit to such an examination more than two times during a 12-month period.  If the Participant refuses to submit to such a medical examination, he shall be deemed to have ceased to be disabled hereunder and shall no longer be entitled to disability benefits hereunder.

 

8.6           Service Crediting While Receiving Disability Benefit.  A Participant who is receiving disability benefits hereunder shall be credited with Service, but not Credited Service, for periods for which he is paid disability benefits hereunder, except as otherwise specifically provided in Article III.

ARTICLE IX

FORMS OF PAYMENT

 

9.1           Normal Form of Payment.  A Participant who is eligible to receive any retirement benefit under Section 5.1, 6.1, or 7.2 of the Plan shall receive payment of such benefit in accordance with one of the following normal forms of payment:

 

(a)                                  A Participant who is not married on his Annuity Starting Date shall receive such benefit in the form of a single life annuity.  Such Participant shall receive a monthly retirement benefit payable for his lifetime, the last monthly payment being for the month in which his death occurs.

 

(b)                                 A Participant who is married on his Annuity Starting Date shall receive such benefit in the form of a 50 percent Joint and Survivor Annuity.  Such Participant shall receive a reduced monthly retirement benefit payable for his lifetime, the last monthly payment being for the month in which his death occurs.  If the Participant’s Spouse survives him, then commencing with the month following the month in which the Participant’s death occurs, his Spouse shall receive a monthly benefit for his or her remaining lifetime equal to one-half of the reduced amount payable during the Participant’s lifetime the last payment being for the month in which the Spouse’s death occurs.  A married Participant may elect to increase the survivor benefit payable to his Spouse under the Joint and Survivor Annuity to 100 percent or 75 percent of the reduced amount payable during the Participant’s lifetime.

 

The reduced monthly payments to be made to the Participant under this Section 9.1(b) shall be in an amount which, on the date of commencement thereof, is the Actuarial Equivalent of the monthly benefit otherwise payable to the Participant under the form of payment described in Section 9.1(a).

 

To receive a benefit under the Joint and Survivor Annuity form of payment described in Section 9.1(b), a Participant’s Spouse must be the same Spouse to whom the Participant was married on his Annuity Starting Date.  Once a Participant’s Annuity Starting Date occurs and retirement benefit payments commence under one of the normal forms of payment, the form of payment will not change even if the Participant’s marital status changes; provided, however, that if the Participant is reemployed by the Employer or an Affiliated Company, any benefits he accrues under the Plan following such reemployment with respect to which a separate Annuity Starting Date occurs shall be payable in the form elected by the Participant as of such separate Annuity Starting Date.

 

9.2           Optional Forms of Payment.  Within the election period described in Section 9.4, a Participant who is eligible to receive any retirement benefit under Section 5.1, 6.1, or 7.2 of the Plan may elect to receive payment of such benefit in accordance with any one of the following options.

 

If the Participant’s Beneficiary under an optional form of payment dies prior to the Participant’s Annuity Starting Date, the election shall become inoperative and ineffective, and benefit payments, if any, shall be made under the normal form of payment provided in Section 9.1, unless the Participant elects another optional form of payment during the

 

14











 

election period.  Subject to the provisions of Section 9.4, once the Participant’s election period terminates, however, the optional form of payment elected by the Participant will not change even if the Participant’s marital status changes or his Beneficiary predeceases him; provided, however, that if the Participant is reemployed by the Employer, any benefits he accrues under the Plan following his reemployment with respect to which a separate Annuity Starting Date occurs shall be payable in the form elected by the Participant with respect to such separate Annuity Starting Date.

 

The monthly payments made under any optional form of payment hereunder shall be the Actuarial Equivalent of the monthly benefit otherwise payable to the Participant in the single life annuity form described in Section 9.1(a).

 

(a)                                  Single Life Annuity.  The Participant shall receive a monthly retirement benefit payable for his lifetime, the last monthly payment being for the month in which his death occurs.

 

(b)                                 100% Joint and Survivor Annuity.  The Participant shall receive a reduced monthly retirement benefit payable for his lifetime, the last monthly payment being for the month in which his death occurs.  If the Participant’s Beneficiary survives him, then commencing with the month following the month in which the Participant’s death occurs, his Beneficiary shall receive a monthly benefit for his or her remaining lifetime equal to the reduced amount payable during the Participant’s lifetime, the last monthly payment being for the month in which the Beneficiary’s death occurs.

 

(c)                                  75% Joint and Survivor Annuity.  The Participant shall receive a reduced monthly retirement benefit payable for his lifetime, the last monthly payment being for the month in which his death occurs.  If the Participant’s Beneficiary survives him, then commencing with the month following the month in which the Participant’s death occurs, his Beneficiary shall receive a monthly benefit for his or her remaining lifetime equal to 75 percent of the reduced amount payable during the Participant’s lifetime, the last monthly payment being for the month in which the Beneficiary’s death occurs.

 

(d)                                 50% Joint and Survivor Annuity.  The Participant shall receive a reduced monthly retirement benefit payable for his lifetime, the last monthly payment being for the month in which his death occurs.  If the Participant’s Beneficiary survives him, then commencing with the month following the month in which the Participant’s death occurs, his Beneficiary shall receive a monthly benefit for his or her remaining lifetime equal to one-half of the reduced amount payable during the Participant’s lifetime, the last monthly payment being for the month in which the Beneficiary’s death occurs.

 

(e)                                  10-Year Certain and Life Annuity.  The Participant shall receive a reduced monthly retirement benefit payable for his lifetime, the last monthly payment being for the month in which his death occurs.  If the Participant’s death occurs

 

15











 

prior to the end of the 10-year period commencing with his Annuity Starting Date, his Beneficiary shall receive a continued monthly benefit equal to such reduced amount for the remainder of such 10-year period.  If the Participant’s Beneficiary dies after becoming eligible to receive a benefit hereunder, but prior to the end of the 10-year period, the unpaid monthly benefit shall be paid to the Beneficiary designated by the Participant to receive payment in such event or, if none, in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.3.

 

(f)                                    Social Security Adjustment Annuity.  The Participant shall receive an increased monthly retirement benefit prior to a specified date and a reduced monthly retirement benefit thereafter, so that the adjusted benefit, when combined with the Primary Insurance Benefits under the Federal Social Security Act expected to become payable as of such specified date, will produce, as nearly as practicable, a level monthly income, the last monthly payment being for the month in which the Participant’s death occurs.

 

(g)                                 Single Sum Payment.  The Participant may elect to receive a single sum payment of the full present value of his vested Accrued Benefit in lieu of any other retirement benefit payable under the Plan.  The single sum payment shall be paid to the Participant, or his Beneficiary, if applicable, within 30 days following the date of the Participant’s retirement, death, or other termination of employment.

 

(h)                                 Prior Plan Options.  To the extent a Participant was allowed to elect an option which is not listed above under the terms of a Prior Plan, such options, if any, may be elected.

 

9.3           Designation of Beneficiary and Beneficiary in Absence of Designated Beneficiary.  A Participant’s Beneficiary may be any individual or, in the case of a Beneficiary to receive payments for the remainder of a period certain under the form of payment elected by the Participant, any individual, trust, or estate, selected by the Participant.

 

If payment is to be made to a Participant’s surviving Beneficiary for the remainder of a period certain under the form of payment elected by the Participant and no Beneficiary survives or the Participant has not designated a Beneficiary, the Participant’s Beneficiary shall be the Participant’s surviving Spouse or, if none, the Participant’s surviving children in equal shares or, if none, the Participant’s estate.

 

9.4           Election Period.  A Participant may waive or revoke a waiver of the normal form of payment provided in Section 9.1 and elect, modify, or change an election of an optional form of payment provided in Section 9.2 by written notice delivered to the Committee at any time during the election period.  A Participant’s “election period” means the period ending one year prior to his Annuity Starting Date; provided, however, that with the Committee’s approval of an election or of a modification or change of an election, a Participant’s election period means the period ending on his Annuity Starting Date.

 

16











 

The form in which a Participant shall receive payment of his retirement benefit shall be determined as of the date his election period ends, based upon any waiver and election in effect on such date.  In no event shall the form in which a Participant’s retirement benefit is paid be changed on or after such date.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Participant so elects at any time prior to the final payment of benefits under the Plan, by giving written notice to the Committee, and if the Committee approves such election, payment of the balance of the Participant’s benefit under the Plan shall be made in a single sum payment.

 

9.5           Death Prior to Annuity Starting Date.  Should a Participant die prior to his Annuity Starting Date neither he nor any person claiming under or through him shall be entitled to any retirement benefit under the Plan, and no benefit shall be paid under the Plan with respect to such Participant except any survivor benefit payable under the provisions of Article X.

 

9.6           Effect of Reemployment on Form of Payment.  Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, if a Participant who has terminated employment with the Employer and all Affiliated Companies is reemployed by the Employer, his prior election of a form of payment hereunder shall become ineffective, except to the extent that the Participant’s Annuity Starting Date occurred prior to such reemployment and such prior Annuity Starting Date is preserved with respect to a portion or all of the Participant’s retirement benefit.

 

ARTICLE X

SURVIVOR BENEFIT

 

10.1         Eligibility.  If a Participant dies before his Annuity Starting Date, his surviving Spouse shall be eligible for a survivor benefit if all the following requirements are met on the Participant’s date of death:

 

(a)                                  The Participant has a Spouse as defined in Section 2.1.

 

(b)                                 The Participant has a vested Accrued Benefit.

 

10.2         Amount.  The monthly amount of the survivor benefit payable to a surviving Spouse shall be equal to the survivor benefit that would have been payable to the Spouse if the Participant had:

 

(a)                                  separated from service on the earlier of his actual separation from service date or his date of death;

 

(b)                                survived to the date as of which payment of the survivor benefit to his surviving Spouse commences;

 

17











 

(c)                                  elected to commence retirement benefits as of the date described in Section 10.2(b) in the form of a 50% Joint and Survivor Annuity; and

 

(d)                                 died on his Annuity Starting Date.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if prior to the end of the Participant’s election period, the Participant elected either the 75% Joint and Survivor Annuity or the 100% Joint and Survivor Annuity with his Spouse as Beneficiary, for purposes of determining the amount of the survivor benefit, the optional form of payment elected by the Participant shall be substituted for the 50% Joint and Survivor Annuity in Section 10.2(c).

 

10.3         Payment.  Payment of a survivor benefit to a Participant’s surviving Spouse shall commence as of the first day of the month following the later of (a) the month in which the Participant dies or (b) the month in which the Participant would have attained earliest retirement age (as defined herein) under the Plan.  If a Participant’s surviving Spouse dies before the date as of which payment of the survivor benefit is to commence to such Spouse, no survivor benefit shall be payable hereunder.

 

Payment of a survivor benefit shall continue to a Participant’s surviving Spouse for such Spouse’s lifetime, the last monthly payment being for the month in which the Spouse’s death occurs.

 

For purposes of this Article, a Participant’s “earliest retirement age” means the earliest age at which the Participant could have elected to commence retirement benefits under the Plan if he had survived and had continued employment with the Employer or an Affiliated Employer.

 

ARTICLE XI

GENERAL PROVISIONS REGARDING BENEFITS

 

11.1         Suspension of Benefits.  Except as otherwise provided in Section 11.2, if a Participant continues employment with the Employer or an Affiliated Company after reaching his Normal Retirement Date or a retired Participant is reemployed by the Employer, any benefits payable to such Participant or retired Participant shall be suspended during the period of such employment or reemployment, as applicable, provided that the notice requirements of Department of Labor Regulations Section 2530.203-3(b)(4) are met.

 

11.2         Exception to Suspension of Benefits Rule.  Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, a Participant who continues in employment with the Employer or any Affiliated Company or who is reemployed by the Employer after reaching his Normal Retirement Date shall be eligible for a retirement benefit for any month in which he is employed for fewer than 40 hours or such other amount of time that does not constitute ERISA Section 203(a)(3)(B) service.

 

11.3         Payment of Benefits to Others.  If any person to whom a retirement benefit is payable is unable to care for his affairs because of illness or accident, any payment due

 

18











 

(unless prior claim therefor shall have been made by a duly qualified guardian or other legal representative) may be paid to the Spouse, parent, brother or sister, or any other individual deemed by the administrator to be maintaining or responsible for the maintenance of such person.  The monthly payment of a retirement benefit to a person for the month in which he dies shall, if not paid to such person prior to his death, be paid to his Spouse, parent, brother, sister, or estate as the administrator shall determine.  Any payment made in accordance with the provisions of this Section 11.3 shall be a complete discharge of any liability of the Plan with respect to the benefit so paid.

 

11.4         Payment of Small Benefits.  If the Actuarially Equivalent present value of any retirement benefit payable under Section 5.1, 6.1, or 7.2 or any survivor benefit is $5,000 or less, such Actuarially Equivalent present value shall be paid to the Participant, or his Beneficiary, if applicable, in a single sum payment, in lieu of all other benefits under the Plan, within 30 days following the date of the Participant’s retirement, death, or other termination of employment, and he shall cease to be a Participant under the Plan as of the date of such payment.

 

A former Participant who received a distribution hereunder because of his retirement or other termination of employment shall lose his Credited Service with which he was credited at the time of his prior termination of employment or retirement.  If such former Participant is reemployed by the Employer, such prior Credited Service shall not be reinstated.

 

11.5         Offset to Accrual After Normal Retirement Date.  The amount of benefit accrued by a Participant for each year of Credited Service that he completes after the date retirement income becomes payable to him by reasons other than his retirement or termination of employment shall be reduced (but not below zero) by the Actuarial Equivalent of the retirement benefits paid to the Participant for the period for which he accrues such year of Credited Service.

 

ARTICLE XII

MISCELLANEOUS

 

12.1         Administration.  The Plan is a plan maintained primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation for a select group of management or highly compensated employees.  Accordingly, the Plan shall be construed and administered in the manner appropriate to maintain the Plan’s status as such under ERISA.  To the extent ERISA applies to the Plan, the Committee shall be the “named fiduciary” of and the “plan administrator” of the Plan.

All actions taken and decisions made in good faith by the Committee under the

 

19











 

Plan shall be final and binding upon all interested parties.

12.3         Claims Procedures.

 

(a)                                  Initial Claim.  If a Participant or Beneficiary (the “claimant”) believes that he is entitled to a benefit under the Plan that is not provided, the claimant or his legal representative shall file a written claim for such benefit with the Committee.  The Committee shall review the claim within 90 days following the date of receipt of the claim; provided that the Committee may determine that an additional 90-day extension is necessary due to circumstances beyond the Committee’s control, in which event the Committee shall notify the claimant prior to the end of the initial period that an extension is needed, the reason therefor and the date by which the Committee expects to render a decision.  If the claimant’s claim is denied in whole or part, the Committee shall provide written notice to the claimant of such denial.  The written notice shall include:  the specific reason(s) for the denial; reference to specific Plan provisions upon which the denial is based; a description of any additional material or information necessary for the claimant to perfect the claim and an explanation of which such material or information is necessary; and a description of the Plan’s review procedures (as set forth in subsection (b)) and the time limits applicable to such procedures, including a statement of the claimant’s right to bring a civil action under section 502(a) of ERISA following an adverse determination upon review.  If the claimant does not receive a written decision within the time period(s) described above, the claim shall be deemed denied on the last day of such period(s).

 

(b)                                 Request for Appeal.  The claimant has the right to appeal the Committee’s decision by filing a written appeal to the Committee within 60 days after claimant’s receipt of the decision or deemed denial.  The claimant will have the opportunity, upon request and free of charge, to have reasonable access to and copies of all documents, records and other information relevant to the claimant’s appeal.  The claimant may submit written comments, documents, records and other information relating to his claim with the appeal.

20











 

written appeal; provided that the Committee may determine that an additional 30-day extension is necessary due to circumstances beyond the Committee’s control, in which event the Committee shall notify the claimant prior to the end of the initial period that an extension is needed, the reason therefor and the date by which the Committee expects to render a decision.  If the claimant’s appeal is denied in whole or part, the Committee shall provide written notice to the claimant of such denial.  The written notice shall include:  the specific reason(s) for the denial; reference to specific Plan provisions upon which the denial is based; a statement that the claimant is entitled to receive, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to and copies of all documents, records, and other information relevant to the claimant’s claim; and a statement of the claimant’s right to bring a civil action under section 502(a) of ERISA.

12.4         Participant Rights Unsecured.

 

(a)                                  Unsecured Claim.  The right of a Participant or his Beneficiary to receive a distribution hereunder shall be an unsecured claim, and neither the Participant nor any Beneficiary shall have any rights in or against specific assets of the Employer.  The right of a Participant or Beneficiary to the payment of benefits under this Plan shall not be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, assignment (either at law or in equity), or encumbrance, and no person shall have any power to anticipate, transfer, assign (either at law or in equity), alienate, or in any way encumber his benefits under the Plan, or any part thereof, and any attempt to do so shall be void.  The rights of a Participant hereunder are exercisable during the Participant’s lifetime only by him or his guardian or legal representative.

 

(b)                                 Contractual Obligation.  The Employer shall establish an irrevocable grantor trust to which it makes periodic contributions in an amount that is actuarially determined as sufficient to pay to Participants their currently accrued (not projected) benefits as they become due hereunder.  The assets of such trust shall be available only to pay Plan benefits; provided, however, that in the event of the bankruptcy or the insolvency of the Employer, trust assets shall no longer be used to pay Plan benefits but instead shall be held by the trustee for the benefit of the general creditors of the Employer.  Such trust assets shall not be deemed to be assets of the Plan.  Any liability to any person with respect to the Plan shall be based solely upon any contractual obligations that may be created pursuant to the Plan.  No obligation of the Employer shall be deemed to be secured by any pledge of, or other encumbrance on, any property of the Employer.  Nothing contained in this Plan and no action taken pursuant to its terms shall create or be construed to create a trust of any kind, or a fiduciary relationship between the Employer and any Participant or Beneficiary, or any other person.  Nothing herein contained shall be construed as a commitment or agreement on the part of any person employed by the Employer to continue his employment with the Employer.  Nothing herein contained shall be construed as a commitment on the part of the Employer to continue the employment, the compensation, or any term or

 

21











 

condition of employment of any such person for any period, and all Participants shall remain subject to discharge to the same extent as if the Plan had never been put into effect.

 

12.5         Amendment or Termination of Plan.

 

(a)                                  Amendment.  The Employer reserves the right to amend the Plan, however, no amendment shall reduce any benefit being paid or then payable to a Participant.  Further, no amendment shall reduce the benefits provide by the Plan to participants or alter in any manner the rights of the Participants to benefits provided under the Plan.
