5.SUPPLEMENTAL RETIREMENT BENEFITS









1.Normal Retirement Benefit.  If a Participant retires on the Normal Retirement Date, the Employer shall pay to the Participant (payable at the time specified in Section 5.7(d)) a Supplemental Retirement Benefit that is the Actuarial Equivalent of a life annuity payable monthly, calculated as if it commenced on the first day of the calendar month following the Participant's date of termination of employment with the Employer, for the Participant's life in an amount equal to the Target Retirement Percentage multiplied by the Participant's Final Average Compensation, less:
(a)Fifty percent (50%) of the Participant's primary Social Security benefit determined at age 62, and
(b)An amount equal to the Participant's Qualified and Other Plan Accounts amounts, determined as of the Participant's date of termination and subject to Section 5.8, converted to a monthly life annuity on an Actuarial Equivalent basis 
times the vesting percentage determined under Section 3.2 of this Plan.
2.Deferred Retirement Benefit.  If a Participant retires at a Deferred Retirement Date, the Employer shall pay to the Participant (payable at the time specified in Section 5.7(d)) a Supplemental Retirement Benefit calculated pursuant to Section 5.1, except that 5.1(a) and 5.1(b) shall be measured at the Participant's date of termination.
3.Early Retirement Benefit.  If a Participant retires at an Early Retirement Date, the Employer shall pay to the Participant (payable at the time specified in Section 5.7(d)) a Supplemental Retirement Benefit that is the Actuarial Equivalent of a life annuity payable monthly, calculated as if it commenced on the first day of the calendar month following the Participant's 62nd birthday and reduced as provided for in this Section 5.3, for the Participant's life in an amount equal to the Target Retirement Percentage multiplied by the Participant's Final Average Compensation, less:
(a)Fifty percent (50%) of the Participant's primary Social Security benefit projected to be paid at age 62 assuming no future increases in Compensation, no change in the Social Security Act and no change in the cost of living or the average wage indexes, and
(b)An amount equal to the Participant's Qualified and Other Plan Accounts amounts, determined as of the Participant's date of termination of employment with the Employer and subject to Section 5.8, converted to a monthly life annuity beginning at age 62 on an Actuarial Equivalent basis but assuming no growth in such amounts to age 62;
times the vesting percentage determined under Section 3.2 of this Plan.
If a Participant retires with the approval of the Committee, the above Early Retirement Benefit shall be reduced by three percent (3%) for each year by which the actual benefit commencement date precedes the Participant's 62nd birthday (prorated for partial years on a monthly basis). If a Participant retires without the approval of the Committee, the above Early Retirement Benefit shall be reduced by five percent (5%) for each year by which the actual benefit commencement date precedes the first day of the calendar month following the Participant's 62nd birthday (prorated for partial years on a monthly basis).  For Participants who retire without approval of the Committee, this benefit shall be further reduced by a fraction equal to the Participant's actual Years of Credited Service at termination over Years of Credited Service the Participant would have had at age 62.
4.Early Termination Retirement Benefit.  If a Participant terminates employment with an Employer prior to Early Retirement, the Employer shall pay to the Participant (payable at the time specified in Section 5.7(d)) a Supplemental Retirement Benefit that is the Actuarial Equivalent of a life annuity payable monthly, calculated as if it commenced on the first day of the calendar month following the Participant's 62nd birthday, for the Participant's life in an amount equal to the product of (a) times (b) times (c) where:
(a)is an amount equal to the Target Retirement Percentage multiplied by the Participant's Final Average Compensation, less:
(i)Fifty percent (50%) of the Participant's primary Social Security benefit projected to be paid at age 62 assuming no future increases in Compensation, no change in the Social Security act and no change in the cost of living or the average wage indexes, and
(ii)An amount equal to the Qualified and Other Plan Accounts amounts, determined as of the date of the 









Participant's date of termination and subject to Section 5.8, converted to a monthly life annuity beginning at age 62 on an Actuarial Equivalent basis but assuming no growth in such amounts to age 62.
(b)is the vesting percentage determined under Section 3.2 of this Plan; and
(c)is a fraction equal to the Participant's Years of Credited Service at termination over Years of Credited Service the Participant would have had at age 62.
5.Change in Control Benefits.  If a Participant is Involuntarily Terminated within thirty-six (36) months of a Change in Control, such Participant shall be granted two (2) extra Years of Credited Service under the Plan, and the greater of Final Compensation or Final Average Compensation shall be used in determining the Participant's Supplemental Retirement Benefit. For such Involuntarily Terminated Participants, the Employer shall pay to the Participant (payable at the time specified in Section 5.7(d)) a Supplemental Retirement Benefit calculated in the same manner as an Early Retirement Benefit pursuant to Section 5.3 as if the Participant retired with the approval of the Committee.
6.Disability Retirement Benefit.  If a Participant terminates employment prior to Normal Retirement as a result of Disability, the Employer shall pay to the Participant (payable at the time specified in Section 5.7(d)) a Supplemental Retirement Benefit that is the Actuarial Equivalent of a life annuity payable monthly, calculated as if it commenced 30 days after the Participant's 62nd birthday, for the Participant's life in an amount equal to the amount the Participant would have received at such time under the Normal Retirement provisions of this Article. For purposes of this calculation, Years of Credited Service and Years of Participation shall continue to accrue during the period of Disability and the Participant's Final Average Compensation shall be based only on the amounts earned during the sixty (60) months prior to Disability if this provides the Participant with a greater benefit.
7.Payment of Benefits.
(a)Form of Benefit Payments.  The normal form of benefit payment shall be a single lump sum payment equal to the Actuarial Equivalent of a life annuity payable monthly.

(iv)50% Joint and Spouse Survivor Annuity
(v)100% Joint and Spouse Survivor Annuity

Except as provided in Section (c)(i) with respect to Participants as of January 1, 2005, at the time of enrollment the Participant shall deliver to the Employer a Form and Time of Benefit Election (in a form satisfactory to Corporation) specifying (i) one of the forms of benefit payments described in Section (a), and (ii) a Benefit Commencement Date (which may not be later than the first day of the first calendar month beginning after the Participant's 62nd birthday) applicable in the event the Participant receives an Early Retirement, Early Termination, or Change in Control Benefit.  The Form and Time of Benefit Election must be delivered within 30 days after the employee first becomes designated as a Participant in this Plan (the "eligibility date"), and will apply only to contributions that relate to services performed after the date on which the election is delivered to the  Employer.

and Time of Benefit Election, subject to the following restrictions (unless the Committee expressly waives or modifies one or more of such restrictions based on the Committee's determination that such waiver or modification would not result in constructive receipt or cause the Plan not to meet the requirements of applicable law or Treasury Regulations):
(1)In no event may a Participant change his or her Form and Time of Benefit Election to accelerate the time or schedule of any benefit payment under the Plan (including without limitation any change from any annuity form of benefit payment to a lump sum form of payment);

(5)In no event may a Participant make more than one amendment to a Form and Time of Benefit Election to delay any distribution or payment.
The Committee may modify the foregoing restrictions and/or adopt other restrictions from time to time to provide for efficient administration of the Plan and to cause the Plan to comply with applicable law and Treasury Regulations.

8.Qualified and Other Retirement Plan Accounts Offset.  In the event that all or a portion of a Participant's Qualified and Other Retirement Plan Accounts are paid out prior to the applicable benefit calculation date under any provision of Section 5 of the Plan, the value of such Accounts at termination shall be the amount distributed Accumulated with Interest to the date of termination. 
9.Withholding; Payroll Taxes.  The Employer shall withhold from payments made hereunder any taxes required to be withheld from a Participant's wages for the federal or any state or local government. However, a Beneficiary may elect not to have withholding for federal income tax purposes pursuant to Section 3405 of the Internal Revenue Code, or any successor provision.

In the event of such termination, the amount of each Participant's vested benefits under the Plan shall be distributed to such Participant at such time and in such manner as the Committee, in its sole discretion, determines.
2.Unsecured General Creditor.  In the event of Employer's insolvency, Participants and their Beneficiaries, heirs, successors, and assigns shall have no legal or equitable rights, interest or claims in any property or assets of the Employer, nor shall they be Beneficiaries of, or have any rights, claims or interests in any life insurance policies, annuity contracts or the proceeds therefrom owned or which may be acquired by the Employer. In that event, any and all of the Employer's assets and policies shall be, and remain, the general, unpledged, unrestricted assets of the Employer. The Employer's obligation under the Plan shall be that of an unfunded and unsecured promise of the Employer to pay money in the future.
3.Trust Fund.  The Employer shall be responsible for the payment of all benefits provided under the Plan. At its discretion, the Employer may establish one or more trusts, with such trustees as the Board may approve, for the purpose of providing for the payment of such benefits. Such trust or trusts may be irrevocable, but the assets thereof shall be subject to the claims of the Employer's creditors. To the extent any benefits provided under the Plan are actually paid from any such trust, the Employer shall have no further obligation with respect thereto, but to the extent not so paid, such benefits shall remain the obligation of, and shall be paid by, the Employer.
4.Nonassignability.  Neither a Participant nor any other person shall have any right to commute, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, anticipate, mortgage or otherwise encumber, transfer, hypothecate or convey in 









advance of actual receipt the amounts, if any, payable hereunder, or any part thereof, which are, and all rights to which are, expressly declared to be unassignable and nontransferable. No part of the amounts payable shall, prior to actual payment, be subject to seizure or sequestration for the payment of any debts, judgments, alimony or separate maintenance owed by a Participant or any other person, nor be transferable by operation of law in the event of a Participant's or any other person's bankruptcy or insolvency.
5.Not a Contract of Employment.  The terms and conditions of the Plan shall not be deemed to constitute a contract of employment between the Employer and the Participant, and the Participant (or his or her Beneficiary) shall have no rights against the Employer except as may otherwise be specifically provided herein. Moreover, nothing in the Plan shall be deemed to give a Participant the right to be retained in the service of the Employer or to interfere with the right of the Employer to discipline or discharge the Participant at any time.
6.Protective Provisions.  A Participant will cooperate with the Employer by furnishing any and all information requested by the Employer, in order to facilitate the payment of benefits hereunder, and by taking such physical examinations as the Employer may deem necessary and taking such other action as may be requested by the Employer.
7.Terms.  Whenever any words are used herein in the masculine, they shall be construed as though they were used in the feminine in all cases where they would so apply; and wherever any words are used herein in the singular or in the plural, they shall be construed as though they were used in the plural or the singular, as the case may be, in all cases where they would so apply.
8.Captions.  The captions of the articles, sections and paragraphs of the Plan are for convenience only and shall not control or affect the meaning or construction of any of its provisions.
9.Governing Law; Arbitration.  The provisions of the Plan shall be construed and interpreted according to the laws of the State of Delaware.  Any dispute or claim that arises out of or that relates to the Plan or to the interpretation, breach, or enforcement of the Plan, shall be resolved by mandatory arbitration in accordance with the then effective arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association, and any judgment upon the award rendered pursuant to such arbitration may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. 
10.Validity.  In case any provision of the Plan shall be held illegal or invalid for any reason, said illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts hereof, but the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal and invalid provision had never been inserted herein.
11.Notice.  Any notice or filing required or permitted to be given to the Committee under the Plan shall be sufficient if in writing and hand delivered, or sent by registered or certified mail, to any member of the Committee or the Secretary of the Employer. Such notice shall be deemed given as of the date of delivery or, if delivery is made by mail, as of the date shown on the postmark on the receipt for registration or certification.
12.Successors.  The provisions of the Plan as it may be amended from time to time shall bind and inure to the benefit of the Employer and its successors and assigns. The term successors as used herein shall include any corporate or other business entity which shall, whether by merger, consolidation, purchase or otherwise acquire all or substantially all of the business and assets of the Employer, and successors of any such corporation or other business entity.
13.Code Section 409A.  This Plan is designed to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code ("Code"), and shall be interpreted and administered consistently with the requirements of Code Section 409A, including regulations and other guidance issued thereunder.
