ARTICLE I

	1.1
	Plan Name.  The Plan shall be known as the PerkinElmer, Inc. Employees Retirement Plan.  Prior to October 26, 1999, the Plan was known as the EG&G, Inc. Employees Retirement Plan.


		
	1.2
	Qualification of Plan.  The Plan and any trust created hereunder are intended to meet the requirements of Sections 401(a) and 501(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time, and the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended from time to time.


		
	1.3
	Purpose of Restatement.  The last amendment and restatement of the Plan, effective January 1, 2007, obtained a favorable ruling from the Internal Revenue Service regarding its qualified status.  The current amendment and restatement of the Plan is effective January 1, 2012, except as otherwise specifically provided herein.


		
	1.4
	Application.  The terms and conditions of the Plan shall, in all respects, apply to all Employees of all participating Employers, except as otherwise specifically provided in an Appendix.


		
	1.5
	Plan Frozen.  Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, all accruals under the Plan shall cease effective as of the Freeze Date.  The Accrued Benefit of all Participants shall be determined as of the Freeze Date, and shall not thereafter be increased by any service or compensation changes.  All Participants actively accruing benefits in the Plan immediately prior to the Freeze Date shall be fully vested in their Accrued Benefit as of the Freeze Date.  For the avoidance of doubt, a Participant who completed at least ten (10) Years of Service prior to the Freeze Date and who became a Disabled Participant prior to the Freeze Date, by reason of a determination by the Federal Social Security Administration made prior to the Freeze Date, shall be treated as having accrued his or her Disability Retirement Income benefit payable under Section 4.6 prior 




I-1


ActiveUS 100152855v.5









to the Freeze Date, and the provisions of this Section 1.5 shall not reduce the benefit otherwise payable pursuant to Section 4.6 for such a Disabled Participant.  Benefits for Disabled Participants who had last actively performed services at sites previously affected by benefit freezes pursuant to Section 4.2 shall be determined in a similar manner.  Accordingly, a Participant who last actively performed services at a site identified in Section 4.2(d) or (e), and who had completed at least ten (10) Years of Service prior to the date identified in Section 4.2(d) or (e), as applicable, (the “Applicable Freeze Date”) and who became a Disabled Participant prior the Applicable Freeze Date by reason of a determination by the Federal Social Security Administration made prior to the Applicable Freeze Date shall be treated as having accrued his or her Disability Retirement Income benefit payable under Section 4.6 prior to the Applicable Freeze Date, and the provisions of this Section 1.5 or Section 4.2 (d) or (e) shall not reduce the benefit otherwise payable pursuant to Section 4.6 for such a Disabled Participant.

ActiveUS 100152855v.5









Except as provided herein with respect to certain Transferred Participants or Rehired Participants, Earnings received during a month in which the Participant is not accruing Credited Service shall not be used in the determination of Average Earnings.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Transferred Participant or a Rehired Participant whose date of transfer or rehire by an Employer, Affiliate or Subsidiary is prior to March 15, 2003, Average Earnings shall mean the average annual Earnings of the Participant for the highest five (5) successive Years of Service out of the last ten (10) Years of Service with an Employer, Affiliate or Subsidiary prior to his date of termination from such Employer, Affiliate or Subsidiary.  In the event that such a Transferred Participant or Rehired Participant is not employed by an Employer, Affiliate or Subsidiary for a full five (5) successive year period, Average Earnings will be based on the five (5) highest compensated years in the last ten (10) years with the Employer, Affiliate or Subsidiary.

For an Employee who was a Participant on December 31, 1988, “Early Retirement Date” means the first day of any month after an Employee’s fifty-fifth (55th) birthday, which that Employee, who will then have completed at least ten (10) Years of Service, elects, on a written form acceptable to the Administrative Committee, as a date on which he wishes to retire.

The annual Earnings of each Participant taken into account in determining benefit accruals in any Plan Year beginning after December 31, 2002, shall not exceed $200,000, as adjusted ($250,000 in 2012).  Annual Earnings means compensation during the Plan Year or such other consecutive 12-month period over which earnings are otherwise determined under the Plan (the determination period).  For purposes of determining benefit accruals in a Plan Year beginning after December 31, 2002, Earnings for any prior determination period shall be $200,000.  
The $250,000 limit on annual Earnings in paragraph 1 shall be adjusted for cost-of-living increase in accordance with Section 401(a)(17)(B) of the Code.  The cost-of-living adjustment in effect for a calendar year applies to annual Earnings for the determination period that begins with or within such calendar year.
If a determination period consists of fewer than twelve (12) months, the annual Earnings limit is an amount equal to the otherwise applicable annual Earnings limit multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of months in the short determination period and the denominator of which is twelve (12).
Except as may be provided in Section 4.7, if Earnings for any prior determination period are taken into account in determining a Participant’s benefits for the current Plan Year, the Earnings for such prior determination period are subject to the applicable annual Earnings limit in effect for that prior period.
		
	2.21
	“Effective Date”  shall mean January 1, 2012, the date as of which this amendment and restatement of the Plan is effective except as otherwise specifically provided herein.

	while on an Authorized Leave of Absence, if at or before the end of such Authorized Leave of Absence, the Participant returns to Active Service, provided however, that a Participant on an Authorized Leave of Absence who fails to return to Active Service at or before the end of such Authorized Leave of Absence, will be considered to have terminated his Employment as of the last day of Active Service with an Employer or with

a Subsidiary or Affiliate.  If, however, such failure to return was due to death, disability, or retirement on his Early or Normal Retirement Date, the Participant’s date of termination will be the date on which one of the above occurs.
		
	(ii)
	during the one (1) year period following the date on which a Participant is laid off due to a reduction in work force provided the Participant returns to Active Service within the one (1) year period following his date of termination.

	(iii)
	during any period for which Hours of Service shall be credited pursuant to applicable law.

	Except as provided in (e) below, all or part of the service with an Affiliate, Subsidiary, or Predecessor Corporation, while such entities were members of the same controlled group (as such term is defined in Section 1563 of the Code) immediately preceding Employment with the Employer, shall be counted as Years of Service.  Such Years of Service shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.2.


		
	(e)
	Unless otherwise required by ERISA, the Administrative Committee may, but shall not be required to, give credit for service with an Affiliate, Subsidiary, or Predecessor Corporation immediately preceding Employment with an Employer under any of the following conditions:

	(ii)
	The Affiliate, Subsidiary, or Predecessor Corporation maintained a Qualified Plan which required voluntary contributions from an Employee as a prerequisite for participation and the Employee elected not to participate, or


		
	(iii)
	The Affiliate, Subsidiary, or Predecessor Corporation maintained a Qualified Plan which provided in the terms of such Plan that certain service was not to be counted in determining Years of Service.


		
	(f)
	If a Participant was an Employee of the Company, terminated his Employment and is rehired, the following rules shall apply in determining his Years of Service:


		
	(i)
	In the case of a Participant who had five (5) or more Years of Service, including the period of a Participant’s service determined in accordance with Section 5.2(a), his Years of Service accrued during his prior period of Employment shall be reinstated as of the date of his re-employment.


		
	(ii)
	In the case of a Participant whose Employment terminated before completing five (5) Years of Service, including the period of a Participant’s service determined in accordance with Section 5.2(a), his Years of Service accrued during his prior period of Employment shall be reinstated unless the “Break-in-Service” exceeds the greater of: (i) five (5) years, or (ii) the number of prior Years of Service.

	Rehired Participant.  


		
	(a)
	In the event a former Employee is hired by an Affiliate or Subsidiary, such former Employee’s years of service with the Affiliate or Subsidiary, while such Affiliate or Subsidiary is a member of the same control group (as such term is defined in

ARTICLE VI     
 
LIMITATIONS ON BENEFITS
		
	6.1
	Defined Benefit Limitations.  The limitations of this Article VI shall apply in Limitation Years beginning on or after July 1, 2007, except as otherwise provided herein:


		
	(a)
	The Annual Benefit otherwise payable to a Participant at any time will not exceed the Maximum Permissible Benefit.  If the benefit the Participant would otherwise accrue in a Limitation Year would produce an Annual Benefit in excess of the Maximum Permissible Benefit, the benefit must be limited (or the rate of accrual reduced) to a benefit that does not exceed the Maximum Permissible Benefit as defined in Section 6.2(i).


		
	(b)
	If a Participant is, or has ever been, a participant in more than one defined benefit plan maintained by the Employer, the sum of the Participant’s Annual Benefits from all such plans may not exceed the Maximum Permissible Benefit.  Where the Participant’s employer-provided benefits under all defined benefit plans ever maintained by the Employer (determined as of the same age) would exceed the Maximum Permissible Benefit applicable at that age, the Annual Benefit provided under the Plan shall be limited to the extent necessary to prevent the Maximum Permissible Benefit from being exceeded.


		
	(c)
	The application of the provisions of this Article VI will not cause the Maximum Permissible Benefit for any Participant to be less than the Participant’s accrued benefit under all the defined benefit plans of the Employer or a Predecessor Employer as of the end of the last Limitation Year beginning before July 1, 2007 under provisions of the plans that were both adopted and in effect before April 5, 2007.  The preceding sentence applies only if the provisions of such defined benefit plans that were both adopted and in effect before April 5, 2007 satisfied the applicable requirement of statutory provisions, regulations, and other published guidance relating to Section 415 of the Code in effect as of the end of 




VI-1


ActiveUS 100152855v.5









the last Limitation Year beginning before July 1, 2007, as described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.415(a)-1(g)(4).
		
	(d)
	If as a result of actuarial increases to the benefit of a Participant who delays commencement of benefits beyond Normal Retirement Age the accrued benefit of such Participant would exceed the limitation under Section 6.1 of the Plan for the Limitation Year, immediately before the actuarial increase to the Participant’s benefit that would cause such Participant’s benefit to exceed the limitations of Section 6.1 of the Plan, payment of benefits to such Participant will be suspended in accordance with Section 8.5 of the Plan, if applicable; otherwise, distribution of the Participant’s benefit will commence.


		
	6.2
	Definitions.


		
	(a)
	Annual Benefit:  A benefit that is payable annually in the form of a straight life annuity.  Except as provided below, where a benefit is payable in a form other than a straight life annuity, the benefit must be adjusted to an actuarially equivalent straight life annuity that begins at the same time as such other form of benefit and is payable on the first day of each month, before applying the limitations of this Article VI.  For a Participant who has or will have distributions commencing at more than one annuity starting date, the Annual Benefit will be determined as of each such annuity starting date (and will satisfy the limitations of this Article VI as of each such date), actuarially adjusting for past and future distributions of benefits commencing at the other annuity starting dates.  For this purpose, the determination of whether a new starting date has occurred shall be made without regarding to Treasury Regulation Section 1.401(a)-20, Q&A 10(d), and with regard to Treasury Regulation Sections 1.415(b)-1(b)(1)(iii)(B) and (C).


No actuarial adjustment to the benefit is required for (a) survivor benefits payable to a surviving spouse under a qualified joint and survivor annuity to the extent such benefits would not be payable if the Participant’s benefit were paid in another form, (b) benefits that are not directly related to retirement benefits (such 


VI-2


ActiveUS 100152855v.5









as a qualified disability benefit, pre-retirement incidental death benefits, and post-retirement medical benefits), and (c) the inclusion in the form of benefit of an automatic benefit increase feature, provided the form of benefit is not subject to Section 417(e)(3) of the Code and would otherwise satisfy the limitations of this Article 6, and the Plan provides that the amount payable under the form of benefit in any Limitation Year shall not exceed the limits of this Article VI applicable at the annuity starting date, as increased in subsequent years pursuant to Section 415(d) of the Code.  For this purpose, an automatic benefit increase feature is included in a form of benefit if the form of benefit provides for automatic, periodic increases to the benefits paid in that form.
The determination of the Annual Benefit shall take into account Social Security supplements described in Section 411(a)(9) of the Code and benefits transferred from another defined benefit plan, other than transfers of distributable benefits pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.411(d)-4, Q&A-3(c), but shall disregard benefits attributable to Employee contributions or rollover contributions.
Effective for Plan Years beginning after December 31, 2003, the determination of actuarial equivalence of forms of benefit other than a straight life annuity shall be made in accordance with Section 6.2(a)(i) or Section 6.2(a)(ii).
		
	(i)
	Benefit forms not subject to Section 417(e)(3):  The straight life annuity that is actuarially equivalent to the Participant’s form of benefit shall be determined under this Section 6.2(a)(i) if the form of the Participant’s benefit is either (1) a nondecreasing annuity (other than a straight life annuity) payable for a period of not less than the life of the Participant (or, in the case of a qualified pre-retirement survivor annuity, the life of the surviving spouse), or (2) an annuity that decreases during the life of the Participant merely because of (a) the death of the survivor annuitant (but only if the reduction is not below fifty percent (50%) of the benefit 




VI-3


ActiveUS 100152855v.5









payable before the death of the survivor annuitant), or (b) the cessation or reduction of Social Security supplements or qualified disability payments (as defined in Section 401(a)(11) of the Code).
		
	(A)
	Limitation Years beginning before July 1, 2007:  For Limitation Years beginning before July 1, 2007, the Actuarially Equivalent straight life annuity is equal to 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 whichever of the following produces the greater annual amounts:  (1) the interest rate specified in Section 2.3 of the Plan and the mortality table (or other tabular factor) specified in Section 2.3 of the Plan for adjusting benefits in the same form; and (2) a five percent (5%) interest rate assumption and the applicable mortality table defined in Section 2.3(a) of the Plan for that annuity starting date.  


		
	(B)
	Limitation Years beginning on or after July 1, 2007.  For Limitation Years beginning on or after July 1, 2007, the Actuarially Equivalent straight life annuity is equal to the greater of (1) the annual amount of the straight life annuity (if any) payable to the Participant under the Plan commencing at the same annuity starting date as the Participant’s form of benefit; and (2) 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 five percent (5%) interest rate assumption and the applicable mortality table defined in Section 2.3(a) of the Plan for that annuity starting date.  


		
	(ii)
	Benefit Forms Subject to Section 417(e)(3):  The straight life annuity that is actuarially equivalent to the Participant’s form of benefit shall be 




VI-4


ActiveUS 100152855v.5









determined under this paragraph if the form of the Participant’s benefit is other than a benefit form described in Section 6.2(a)(i).  In this case, the actuarially equivalent straight life annuity shall be determined as follows:
		
	(A)
	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 (1) 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 Section 2.3 of the Plan and the mortality table (or other tabular factor) specified in Section 2.3 of the Plan for adjusting benefits in the same form; (2) 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 (5.5%) interest rate assumption and the applicable mortality table defined in Section 2.3(a) of the Plan; and (3) 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 defined in Section 2.3(b) of the Plan and the applicable mortality table defined in Section 2.3(a) of the Plan, divided by 1.05.


		
	(B)
	Annuity Starting Date in Plan Years Beginning in 2004 or 2005.  If the annuity starting date of the Participant’s form of benefit is in a Plan Year beginning in 2004 or 2005, the actuarially equivalent straight life annuity is equal to 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 




VI-5


ActiveUS 100152855v.5









benefit, computed using whichever of the following produces the greater annual amount: (1) the interest rate specified in Section 2.3 of the Plan and the mortality table (or other tabular factor) specified in Section 2.3 of the Plan for adjusting benefits in the same form; and (2) a 5.5 percent (5.5%) interest rate assumption and the applicable mortality table defined in Section 2.3(a) of the Plan.
If the annuity starting date of the Participant’s benefit is on or after the first day of the first Plan Year beginning in 2004 and before December 31, 2004, the application of this Section 6.2(a)(ii)(B) shall not cause the amount payable under the Participant’s form of benefit to be less than the benefit calculated under the Plan, taking into account the limitations of this Article, except that the actuarially equivalent straight life annuity is equal to 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 whichever of the following produces the greatest annual amount:
		
	(1)
	the interest rate specified in Section 2.3 of the Plan and the mortality table (or other tabular factor) specified in Section 2.3 of the Plan for adjusting benefits in the same form;


		
	(2)
	the applicable interest rate defined in Section 2.3(b) of the Plan and the applicable mortality table defined in Section 2.3(a) of the Plan; and


		
	(3)
	the applicable interest rate defined in Section 2.3(b) of the Plan (as in effect on the last day of the last Plan Year beginning before January 1, 2004, under provisions of the 




VI-6


ActiveUS 100152855v.5









Plan then adopted and in effect) and the applicable mortality table defined in Section 2.3(a) of the Plan.
		
	(b)
	Compensation:  Compensation is defined as 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 Employer maintaining the Plan to the extent that the amounts are includible in gross income (including, but not limited to, commissions paid salespeople, compensation for services on the basis of a percentage of profits, commissions on insurance premiums, tips, bonuses, fringe benefits, and reimbursements, or other expense allowances under a nonaccountable plan (as described in Section 1.62-2(c) of the Treasury Regulations), and excluding the following:


		
	(i)
	Employer contributions (other than elective contributions described in Sections 402(e)(3),  408(k)(6),  408(p)(2)(A)(i), or 457(b) of the Code) to a plan of deferred compensation (including a simplified employee pension described in Section 408(k) or a simple retirement account described in Section 408(p) and whether or not qualified) to the extent such contributions are not includible in the Employee’s gross income for the taxable year in which contributed, and any distributions (whether or not includible in gross income when distributed) from a plan of deferred compensation (whether or not qualified);


		
	(ii)
	Amounts realized from the exercise of a non-qualified stock option, or when restricted stock (or property) held by the Employee either becomes freely transferable 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 qualified stock option;




VI-7


ActiveUS 100152855v.5









		
	(iv)
	Other amounts that receive special tax benefits, such as premiums for group-term life insurance (but only to the extent that the premiums are not includible in the gross income of the Employee and are not salary reduction amounts that are described in Section 125 of the Code); and


		
	(v)
	Other items of remuneration that are similar to any of the items listed in (i) through (iv).


For any self-employed individual, Compensation will mean earned income.
Except as provided herein, for Limitation Years beginning after December 31, 1991, Compensation for a Limitation Year is the Compensation actually paid or made available during such Limitation Year.
For Limitation Years beginning after December 31, 1997, Compensation paid or made available during such Limitation Year shall include any elective deferral (as defined in Section 402(g)(3) of the Code), and any amount which is contributed or deferred by the Employer at the election of the Employee and which is not includible in the gross income of the Employee by reason of Section 125 or 457 of the Code.  For Limitation Years beginning after December 31, 2000, Compensation shall also include any elective amounts that are not includible in the gross income of the Employee by reason of Section 132(f)(4) of the Code.  For Limitation Years beginning on or after December 31, 2008, differential wage payments by the Employers to Participants who are called to active duty, to the extent such payments do not exceed the amounts the Participant would have received if he or she had continued to perform services for the Employer rather than entering qualified military service, are included as Compensation.
For Limitation Years beginning on or after July 1, 2007, Compensation for a Limitation Year shall also include compensation paid by the later of 21⁄2 months after an Employee’s Severance from Employment with the Employer maintaining 


VI-8


ActiveUS 100152855v.5









the Plan or the end of the Limitation Year that includes the date of the Employee’s Severance from Employment with the Employer maintaining the Plan, if:
		
	(i)
	the payment is regular compensation for services during the Employee’s regular working hours, or compensation for services outside the Employee’s regular working hours (such as overtime or shift differential), commissions, bonuses, or other similar payments, and, absent a Severance from Employment, the payments would have been paid to the Employee while the Employee continued in Employment with the Employer.


		
	(ii)
	the payment is for unused accrued bona fide sick, vacation or other leave that the Employee would have been able to use if Employment had continued; or


		
	(iii)
	the payment is received by the Employee pursuant to a nonqualified unfunded deferred compensation plan and would have been paid at the same time if Employment had continued, but only to the extent includible in gross income.


Any payments not described above shall not be considered Compensation if paid after Severance from Employment, even if they are paid by the later of 2 1⁄2 months after the date of Severance from Employment or the end of the Limitation Year that includes the date of Severance from Employment, except, payments to an individual who does not currently perform services for the Employer by reason of qualified military service (within the meaning of Section 414(u)(1) of the Code) to the extent these payments do not exceed the amounts the individual would have received if the individual had continued to perform services for the Employer rather than entering qualified military service; or (b) compensation paid to a Participant who is permanently and totally disabled, as defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code, provided salary continuation applies to all Participants who are permanently and totally disabled for a fixed or determinable period, or the 


VI-9


ActiveUS 100152855v.5









Participant was not a highly compensated employee, as defined in Section 414(q) of the Code, immediately before becoming disabled.
Back pay, within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.415(c)-2(g)(8), shall be treated as compensation for the Limitation Year to which the back pay relates to the extent the back pay represents wages and compensation that would otherwise be included under this definition.
		
	(c)
	Defined Benefit Compensation Limitation:  One hundred percent (100%) of a Participant’s High Three-Year Average Compensation, payable in the form of a straight life annuity.  In the case of a Participant who has had a Severance from Employment with the Employer, the Defined Benefit Compensation Limitation applicable to the Participant in any Limitation Year beginning after the date of severance shall be automatically adjusted by multiplying the limitation applicable to the Participant in the prior Limitation Year by the annual adjustment factor under Section 415(d) of the Code that is published in the Internal Revenue Bulletin.  The adjusted compensation limit shall apply to Limitation Years ending with or within the calendar year of the date of the adjustment, but a Participant’s benefits shall not reflect the adjusted limit prior to January 1 of that calendar year.  


In the case of a Participant who is rehired after a Severance from Employment, the Defined Benefit Compensation Limitation is the greater of one hundred percent (100%) of the Participant’s High Three-Year Average Compensation, as determined prior to the Severance from Employment, as adjusted pursuant to the preceding paragraph, if applicable; or one hundred percent (100%) of the Participant’s High Three-Year Average Compensation, as determined after the Severance from Employment under Section 6.2(g).
		
	(d)
	Defined Benefit Dollar Limitation:  $160,000, as automatically adjusted, effective January 1st of each year, under Section 415(d) of the Code in such manner as the Secretary shall prescribe, and payable in the form of a straight life annuity ($200,000 for 2012).  The new limitation will apply to Limitation Years ending 




VI-10


ActiveUS 100152855v.5









with or within the calendar year of the date of the adjustment.  The automatic annual adjustment shall apply to Participants who have had a separation from Employment.
		
	(e)
	Employer:  For purposes of this article, Employer shall mean the Employer that adopts the Plan, and all members of a controlled group of corporations (as defined in Section 414(b) of the Code, as modified by Section 415(h) of the Code), all commonly controlled trades or businesses (as defined in Section 414(c) of the Code, as modified by Section 415(h) of the Code), or affiliated service groups (as defined in Section 414(m) of the Code) of which the adopting Employer is a part, and any other entity required to be aggregated with the Employer pursuant to Section 414(o) of the Code.


		
	(f)
	Formerly Affiliated Plan of the Employer:  A plan that, immediately prior to the cessation of affiliation, was actually maintained by the Employer and, immediately after the cessation of the affiliation, is not actually maintained by the Employer.  For this purpose, cessation of affiliation means the event that causes an entity to no longer be considered the Employer, such as the sale of a member controlled group of corporations, as defined in Section 414(b) of the Code, as modified by Section 415(h) of the Code, to an unrelated corporation, or that causes a plan to not actually be maintained by the Employer, such as transfer of plan sponsorship outside a controlled group.


		
	(g)
	High Three-Year Average Compensation:  The average Compensation for the three (3) consecutive years of service (or, if the Participant has less than three (3) consecutive years of service, the Participant’s longest consecutive period of service, including fractions of years, but not less than one year) with the Employer that produces the highest average.  A Year of Service is defined in Section 2.51.  In the case of a Participant who is rehired by the Employer after a Severance from Employment, the Participant’s High Three-Year Average Compensation shall be calculated by excluding all Years of Service for which the 




VI-11


ActiveUS 100152855v.5









Participant performs no services for and receives no Compensation from the Employer (the break period) and by treating the years immediately preceding and following the break period as consecutive.  A Participant’s Compensation for a Year of Service shall not include Compensation in excess of the limitation under Section 401(a)(17) of the Code that is in effect for the calendar year in which such Year of Service begins.  
		
	(h)
	Limitation Year:  The Plan Year as defined in Section 2.38.


		
	(i)
	Maximum Permissible Benefit:  The lesser of the Defined Benefit Dollar Limitation or the Defined Benefit Compensation Limitation (both adjusted where required, as provided below).


		
	(i)
	If the Participant has less than 10 Years of Participation in the Plan, the Defined Benefit Dollar Limitation shall be multiplied by a fraction -- (i) the numerator of which is the number of years (or part thereof, but less than one year) of participation in the Plan, and (ii) the denominator of which is 10.  In the case of a Participant who has less than 10 Years of Service with the Employer, the Defined Benefit Compensation Limitation shall be multiplied by a fraction -- (i) the numerator of which is the number of Years (or part thereof, but not less than one year) of Service with the Employer, and (ii) the denominator of which is 10.


		
	(ii)
	Effective for benefits commencing in Limitation Years ending after December 31, 2001, the Defined Benefit Dollar Limitation shall be adjusted if the annuity starting date of the Participant’s benefit is before age 62 or after age 65.  If the annuity starting date is before age 62, the Defined Benefit Dollar Limitation shall be adjusted under Section 6.2(i)(ii)(A), as modified by Section 6.2(i)(ii)(C)).  If the annuity starting date is after age 65, the Defined Benefit Dollar Limitation shall be adjusted under Section 6.2(i)(ii)(B), as modified by Section 6.2(i)(ii)(C).

	(A)
	Adjustment of Defined Benefit Dollar Limitation for Benefit Commencement Before Age 62:


		
	(1)
	Limitation Years Beginning Before July 1, 2007.  If the annuity starting date for the Participant’s benefit is prior to age 62 and occurs in a Limitation Year beginning before July 1, 2007, the Defined Benefit Dollar Limitation for the Participant’s annuity staring 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 Defined Benefit Dollar Limitation (adjusted under Section 6.2(i)(i) for Years of Participation less than 10, if required) with actuarial equivalence computed using whichever of the following produces the smaller annual amount:  (i) the interest rate specified in Section 2.3 of the Plan and the mortality table (or other tabular factor) specified in Section 2.3 of the Plan; or (2) a five percent (5%) interest rate assumption and the applicable mortality table as defined in Section 2.3(a) of the Plan.

	Limitation Years Beginning on or After July 1, 2007.  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 Defined Benefit Dollar Limitation 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 this the 




VI-13


ActiveUS 100152855v.5









actuarial equivalent of the Defined Benefit Dollar Limitation (adjusted under Section 6.2(i)(i) for Years of Participation less than 10, if required) with actuarial equivalence computed using a five percent (5%) interest rate assumption and the applicable mortality table for the annuity starting date as defined in Section 2.3(a) of the Plan (and expressing the Participation’s age based on completed calendar months as of the annuity starting date). 
		
	(B)
	Adjustment of Defined Benefit Dollar Limitation for Benefit Commencement After Age 65:


		
	(1)
	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 Defined Benefit Dollar Limitation for the Participant’s annuity staring 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 Defined Benefit Dollar Limitation (adjusted under Section 6.2(i)(i) for Years of Participation less than 10, if required) with actuarial equivalence computed using whichever of the following produces the smaller annual amount:  (i) the interest rate specified in Section 2.3 of the Plan and the mortality table (or other tabular factor) specified in Section 2.3 of the Plan; or (2) a five percent (5%) interest rate assumption and the applicable mortality table as defined in Section 2.3(a) of the Plan.  




VI-14


ActiveUS 100152855v.5









		
	(2)
	Limitation Years Beginning on or After July 1, 2007.  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 Defined Benefit Dollar Limitation 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 this the actuarial equivalent of the Defined Benefit Dollar Limitation (adjusted under Section 6.2(i)(i) for Years of Participation less than 10, if required) with actuarial equivalence computed using a five percent (5%) interest rate assumption and the applicable mortality table for the annuity starting date as defined in Section 2.3(a) of the Plan (and expressing the Participation’s age based on completed calendar months as of the annuity starting date).


		
	(C)
	Notwithstanding the other requirements of this Section 6.2(i)(ii), no adjustment shall be made to the Defined Benefit Dollar Limitation to reflect the probability of a Participant’s death between the annuity starting date and age 62, or between age 65 and the annuity starting date, as applicable, if benefits are not forfeited upon the death of the Participant prior to the annuity starting date.  To the extent benefits are forfeited upon death before the annuity starting date, such an adjustment shall be made.  For this purpose, no forfeiture shall be treated as occurring upon the Participant’s death if the Plan does not charge Participants for

providing a qualified pre-retirement survivor annuity, as defined in Section 417(c) of the Code, upon the Participant’s death.

	Minimum benefit permitted:  Notwithstanding anything else in this Article VI to the contrary, the benefit otherwise accrued or payable to a Participant under the Plan shall be deemed not to exceed the Maximum Permissible Benefit if:


		
	(A)
	the retirement benefits payable for a Limitation Year under any form of benefit with respect to such Participant under the Plan and under all other defined benefit plans (regardless of whether terminated) ever maintained by the Employer do not exceed $10,000 multiplied by a fraction—(i) the numerator of which is the Participant’s number of Years of Service or parts thereof but not less than one year (not to exceed 10) with the Employer, and (ii) the denominator of which is 10; and


		
	(B)
	the Employer (or a Predecessor Employer) has not at any time maintained a defined contribution plan in which the Participant participated (for this purpose, mandatory employee contributions under a defined benefit plan, individual medical accounts under Section 401(h), and accounts for postretirement medical benefits established under Section 419A(d)(1) of the Code are not considered a separate defined contribution plan).


		
	(j)
	Predecessor Employer:  If the Employer maintains a plan that provides a benefit which the Participant accrued while performing services for a former employer, the former employer is a predecessor employer with respect to participation in the Plan.  A former entity that antedates the Employer is also a Predecessor Employer with respect to a Participant if, under the facts and circumstances, the Employer constitutes a continuation of all or a portion of the trade or business of the former entity.

	(k)
	Severance from Employment:  An Employee has a severance from employment when the Employee ceases to be an Employee of the Employer maintaining the Plan.  An Employee does not have a Severance from Employment if, in connection with a change of Employment, the Employee’s new employer maintains the Plan with respect to the Employee.


		
	(l)
	Year of Participation:  The 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 Section 415(c)(3)(c)(i) of the Code for an accrual computation period shall receive a Year of Participation with respect to that period.  In addition, for a Participant to receive a Year of Participation (or part thereof) for an accrual computation period, the Plan must be established no later than the last day of such accrual computation period.  In no event will more than one Year of Participation be credited for any twelve (12) month period.


		
	(m)
	Year of Service:  For purposes of Article VI, the Participant shall be credited with a Year of Service (computed to fractional parts of a year) for each accrual computation period for which 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, taking into account only service with the Employer or Predecessor Employer.

	Funding-Based Limits.


Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, no benefit shall accrue under or be paid from the Plan, and no amendment increasing liability for benefits shall take effect, to the extent that such accrual, payment or amendment is prohibited by Section 206(g) of ERISA or Section 436 of the Code (or any successor provisions thereto) as interpreted by applicable regulatory guidance.  No Employer or Affiliate shall be required to (i) make additional contributions, (ii) provide security to the Plan, or (iii) alter the method or timing of any actuarial valuation in order to avoid or reduce the application of such prohibition.  Except to the extent required by law, the Plan shall not restore any benefits that did not accrue and shall not make any payment in lieu of any benefits that are not paid by reason of this Section 6.3, and any amendment that does not take effect by reason of this Section 6.3 shall be null and void, and shall not become effective unless readopted by the Employer.

	7.1
	Determination of Credited Service.  A Participant’s Credited Service shall be determined in accordance with the following:


		
	(a)
	For a Participant as of the Effective Date, who had been covered under the prior provisions of the Plan, the Participant’s Credited Service shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the Plan in effect prior to the Effective Date.


		
	(b)
	Subject to Section 7.1(a), a Full-Time Employee shall accrue a full Year of Credited Service for each calendar year in which he is an Employee eligible to participate in the Plan under Section 3.1.  In the year in which a Full-Time Employee is hired or terminated, the Participant shall be deemed to complete one/twelfth (1/12) of a year of Credited Service for each month employed, rounded to the nearest month.  A Part-Time Employee shall be deemed to complete one/twelfth (1/12) of a year of Credited Service for each one hundred seventy-three and one/third (1731/3) Hours of Service completed while employed as a Part-Time Employee.  For the year in which, with respect to a Participant, benefit accruals cease pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.2(d) or (e) or (g), a Participant who is a Full-Time Employee shall be deemed to complete one-twelfth (1/12) of a year of Credited Service for each month employed through the effective date of the cessation of benefit accruals, and no Participant described in Section 4.2(d) or (e) or (g) shall accrue additional Credited Service for periods thereafter.

	Credited Service will not include a period of time a Participant is on an Authorized Leave of Absence for other than medical or military reasons, is on layoff status or while employed with an Affiliate or Subsidiary which is not an Employer.




VII-1


ActiveUS 100152855v.5









		
	(d)
	Prior Service with a Predecessor Corporation may, at the discretion of the Administrative Committee, be deemed to be Credited Service.


		
	(e)
	In the event a Participant who has completed ten (10) or more Years of Service becomes a Disabled Participant, the period of disability up to the Participant’s Normal Retirement Date shall be counted as Credited Service regardless of whether the Participant remains in the employ of an Employer.


		
	(f)
	A Participant shall in no event be deemed to accrue more than one (1) full Year of Credited Service with respect to any Year.


		
	(g)
	If the Participant was an Employee of the Employer, terminated his Employment and is rehired, the following rules shall apply in determining his Credited Service:


		
	(i)
	In the case of a Participant who had five (5) or more Years of Service or who terminated Employment after his Normal Retirement Date, his Credited Service accrued during his prior period of Employment shall be reinstated as of the date of his re-employment.


		
	(ii)
	In the case of a Participant whose Employment terminated before completing five (5) Years of Service and before his Normal Retirement Date, his Years of Credited Service accrued during his prior period of Employment shall be reinstated unless the “Break-in-Service” exceeds the greater of: (i) five (5) years, or (ii) the number of prior Years of Service.


		
	(h)
	Years of Service with an Affiliate or Subsidiary which does not participate in the Plan will not be included as Credited Service.

ARTICLE VIII     
 
PAYMENT OF RETIREMENT BENEFITS
		
	8.1
	Normal Form of Payment.  The retirement income to which a Participant may be entitled at his Normal Retirement Date shall be payable in the following method unless the Participant elects one of the optional forms of payment provided for in Section 8.2.


		
	(a)
	The retirement income payable to a Participant who does not have an Eligible Spouse on the date payments commence shall be in the form of a lifetime income amount calculated in accordance with Section 4.2.


		
	(b)
	The retirement income payable to a Participant who has an Eligible Spouse on the date payments commence shall be in the form of a Surviving Spouse Option with his Eligible Spouse as the survivor, subject to the following:


		
	(i)
	Under a Surviving Spouse Option, a reduced amount shall be paid to the Participant for his lifetime, and his Eligible Spouse, if surviving at the Participant’s death, shall be entitled to receive thereafter a lifetime benefit equal to fifty percent (50%) of the reduced benefit which had been payable to the Participant.  The amount of the reduced benefit payable to the Participant and Survivor shall be the Actuarial Equivalent of the lifetime benefit as determined in Section 4.2.


		
	(ii)
	Within the twelve (12) month period prior to his Normal Retirement Date, or at the time he applies for retirement income payments to commence, if earlier, or if requested by the Participant eligible for Early Retirement, each Participant must certify to the Administrative Committee, on a form and in a manner prescribed by the Administrative Committee whether or not he is married, and if so, the name and date of birth of the person to whom he is married and the date of the marriage.  The Participant will notify the Administrative Committee of any changes in his status prior to retirement.




VIII-1


ActiveUS 100152855v.5









		
	(iii)
	Within a reasonable period (but in no event more than 180 days prior to the annuity starting date) following receipt of the certification specified in (ii) above, from a Participant who certifies that he will be married at the time his retirement income payments are to commence, the Administrative Committee shall furnish him a written explanation of the Surviving Spouse Option and an estimate of the amounts of retirement income payable both under that option and all other options.  Such explanation shall include a description of how much larger benefits will be if the commencement of distributions is deferred.


		
	(iv)
	At the time such explanation is furnished to the Participant, an election form will also be furnished to him.  The Participant must complete such form and return it to the Administrative Committee within the 180-day period ending on the date as of which his retirement income payments are to commence.  The Participant may elect to waive the otherwise applicable election period described above and commence distribution of his benefit on a date that is more than seven (7) days after the election form is furnished to him.  The election form shall allow the Participant to elect (a) to revoke the Surviving Spouse Option or (b) to elect to be covered under the option, in which case he must submit satisfactory proof of the date of his spouse’s birth and of their marriage if such has not previously been submitted to the Administrative Committee.  A Participant who fails to so complete and return the election form in a timely manner shall be deemed to have elected to be covered under the Surviving Spouse Option.


		
	(v)
	If a Participant revokes the Surviving Spouse Option, he may nevertheless cancel such revocation at any time prior to the first (1st) day of the month for which his retirement income payments are to commence by completing the appropriate form and submitting it to the Administrative Committee; otherwise retirement income shall be paid in the form of a lifetime income unless an optional form is elected in accordance with Section 8.3.  If a 




VIII-2


ActiveUS 100152855v.5









married Participant revokes the Surviving Spouse Option, he must provide spousal consent for such revocation.  The spouse’s consent to revoke the Surviving Spouse Option must be either witnessed by a Plan representative or notarized by a Notary of the Public.
		
	(vi)
	If a vested Participant who has not revoked the Surviving Spouse Option dies on or after his Early Retirement Date, he will be deemed to have retired on the first (1st) day of the month coincident with or following the date of his death or retirement, whichever occurs first, and retirement income shall be paid to his Eligible Spouse in the form of a Surviving Spouse Option.


		
	(vii)
	If a vested Participant who has not revoked the Surviving Spouse Option dies before his Early Retirement Date, he will be deemed to have:


		
	(A)
	terminated Employment on the date of death (unless he had terminated Employment prior to his death),


		
	(B)
	survived to this Early Retirement Date, and


		
	(C)
	retired with an immediate Surviving Spouse Option.


The amount of the retirement income payable to the Eligible Spouse for life shall be equal to fifty percent (50%) of the amount the Participant would have received had he survived to elect an Early Retirement Date in accordance with (i) and (ii) above.  Payment to the Eligible Spouse of a deceased Participant is to commence with the month in which the Participant would have reached his Early Retirement Date.
		
	(viii)
	Subject to retroactive payment thereof, any retirement income payments otherwise due under the Plan may be delayed until thirty (30) days after the latest of whichever of the following are applicable:




VIII-3


ActiveUS 100152855v.5









		
	(A)
	The receipt by the Administrative Committee of the certification specified in (ii) above;


		
	(B)
	The receipt by the Administrative Committee of the completed election form furnished in accordance with (iv) above; or


		
	(C)
	The receipt by the Administrative Committee of satisfactory proof of the marriage and date of birth of the Eligible Spouse of a Participant who elects or is deemed to have elected the Surviving Spouse Option.


		
	(ix)
	The election of the Surviving Spouse Option shall be null and void if the Participant’s spouse should die within thirty (30) days after the latest date on which the Participant may make a timely return of the election form pursuant to (iv) above.


		
	8.2
	Optional Forms of Payment.  A Participant may elect, at any time prior to 180 days preceding the commencement of his retirement income, by giving written notice on a form and in a manner prescribed by the Administrative Committee, to convert the amount of retirement income payable to him under the normal form of payment into the Actuarial Equivalent under one of the following options:


		
	(a)
	Lifetime Income Option.  Under this option retirement income will cease at the death of the Participant.


		
	(b)
	Joint and Survivor Option.  Under this option, a Participant can elect to receive a reduced income, but after the Participant’s death, fifty percent (50%), seventy-five percent (75%) or one hundred percent (100%) (depending upon the election made) of such reduced income shall be paid for life to his Eligible Spouse or his designated Joint Annuitant.


		
	(c)
	Ten (10) Year Certain Option. Under this option, the Participant can elect to receive a reduced income, but in the event of his death prior to one hundred 




VIII-4


ActiveUS 100152855v.5









twenty (120) months after retirement income payments commence, the same reduced income shall be paid for the remainder of the one hundred twenty (120) months to his designated Beneficiary.
		
	(d)
	Level Income Option.  A Participant electing an Early Retirement Date which is prior to the date when he is eligible to receive Social Security benefits may elect to receive an increased monthly payment from the Plan continuing until he is eligible to receive Social Security Benefits, whereupon his monthly payment from the Plan will be decreased.  The amount of increase and decrease will be determined in accordance with appropriate Actuarial Equivalent factors based on the Participant’s expected Social Security Benefits as of his Early Retirement Date so that his total monthly retirement income from this retirement date shall be approximately level.


In the event of the election of this Level Income Option, the monthly payment of the retirement income shall commence at the date of retirement and shall cease with the last payment prior to the death of the Participant.
		
	8.3
	Election Procedure.  


		
	(a)
	An election may not be made nor will it be accepted by the Administrative Committee, or if accepted it shall become null and void, if the Participant’s Employment terminates prior to his Early Retirement Date.


		
	(b)
	If a Participant shall validly elect a Surviving Spouse Option or a Joint and Survivor Option and shall retire on an Early or Normal Retirement Date, his election shall be effective on such retirement date, provided both the Participant and Joint Annuitant are then alive.  If the Joint Annuitant shall die before such retirement date, the election shall be of no effect.


		
	(c)
	If a Participant shall elect a Surviving Spouse Option or a Joint and Survivor Option and shall remain in the service of the Company after his Normal 




VIII-5


ActiveUS 100152855v.5









Retirement Date, his election shall nevertheless become effective on his Normal Retirement Date provided, however,
		
	(i)
	if his Joint Annuitant dies before such Participant retires, such Participant shall be entitled after retiring to receive only the reduced retirement income payable to him in accordance with such option; and


		
	(ii)
	if such Participant dies before retiring, his Joint Annuitant shall receive the reduced income which would be payable to such Joint Annuitant in accordance with such option, as if such Participant had retired on the first day of the month coinciding with or next preceding his date of death.


		
	(d)
	If a Participant shall elect a Surviving Spouse Option or a Joint and Survivor Option and his Joint Annuitant shall die before the death of, but after the retirement of, the Participant, such Participant shall continue to receive the reduced retirement income payable to him in accordance with such option.


		
	(e)
	If a Participant shall validly elect a ten (10) year certain option and shall remain in the service of the Company after his Normal Retirement Date, and if such Participant shall die before retiring, his Beneficiary shall receive the reduced retirement income for the guaranteed period elected in accordance with this option as if the Participant had retired on the first day of the month coinciding with or next preceding his date of death.


		
	(f)
	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the Joint Annuitant is other than the Participant’s Eligible Spouse, the present value of the payments made and to be made to a Participant under any of the optional forms of income cannot be less than fifty percent (50%) of the present value of the total payments to be made to the Participant and his Joint Annuitant.  In such event, the optional form elected shall be adjusted to satisfy the fifty percent (50%) requirement referred to above.


		
	8.4
	Minimum Required Distributions.  




VIII-6


ActiveUS 100152855v.5









		
	(a)
	The distribution of benefits shall be made in accordance with Section 401(a)(9) of the Code and Treasury Regulations issued thereunder on June 15, 2004.


		
	(i)
	Determination of Amount to be Distributed Each Year.


		
	(A)
	General Annuity Requirements.  If a Participant’s benefit is paid in the form of an annuity, payments under the annuity shall satisfy the following requirements:


		
	(1)
	The annuity distributions shall be paid in periodic payments made at intervals not longer than one year;


		
	(2)
	The distribution period shall be over a life (or lives) or over a period certain not longer than the period described in subsection (b) or (c); and


		
	(3)
	Payments shall either be nonincreasing or increase only as permitted under Q&A-14 of Regulation section 1.401(a)(9)-6.


		
	(B)
	Amount Required to be Distributed by Required Beginning Date.  The amount that must be distributed on or before the Participant’s Required Beginning Date (or, if the Participant dies before distributions begin, the date distributions are required to begin under subsection (c)(v) is the payment that is required for one payment interval.  The second payment need not be made until the end of the next payment interval even if that payment interval ends in the next calendar year.  Payment intervals are the periods for which payments are received, e.g., bi-monthly, monthly, semi-annually, or annually.  All of the Participant’s benefit accruals as of the last day of the first Distribution Calendar Year shall be included in the calculation of the amount of the annuity payments for 




VIII-7


ActiveUS 100152855v.5









payment intervals ending on or after the Participant’s Required Beginning Date.
		
	(C)
	Additional Accruals after First Distribution Calendar Year.  Any additional benefits accruing to the Participant in a calendar year after the first Distribution Calendar Year shall be distributed beginning with the first payment interval ending in the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which such amount accrues.


		
	(ii)
	Requirement for Joint Life Annuities that Commence During Participant’s Lifetime Where the Co-Annuitant is not the Participant’s Spouse.  If the Participant’s benefit is being distributed in the form of a survivor annuity for the joint lives of the Participant and a non-spouse co-annuitant, annuity payments to be made on or after the Participant’s Required Beginning Date to such co-annuitant after the Participant’s death must not at any time exceed the applicable percentage of the annuity payment for such period that would have been payable to the Participant using the table set forth in Q&A-2 of Regulation section 1.401(a)(9)-6.  The applicable percentage is based on the adjusted Participant/co-annuitant age difference.  The adjusted Participant/co annuitant age difference is determined by first calculating the excess of the age of the Participant over the age of the co-annuitant based on their ages on their birthdays in a calendar year.  If the Participant is younger than age 70, the age difference determined in the previous sentence is reduced by the number of years that the Participant is younger than age 70 on the Participant’s birthday in the calendar year that contains the Benefit Commencement Date.  In the case of an annuity that provides for increasing payments, the requirement of this subsection (ii) will not be violated merely because benefit payments to the co-annuitant increase, provided the increase is determined in the same manner for the Participant and the co-annuitant.




VIII-8


ActiveUS 100152855v.5









		
	(iii)
	Requirements for Minimum Distributions Where Participant Dies Before Date Distributions Begin.


		
	(A)
	Participant Survived by Designated Beneficiary.  Except as provided in subsection (b), if the Participant dies before the date distribution of his or her benefit begins and there is a Designated Beneficiary, the Participant’s benefit shall be distributed, beginning no later than the time described in subsection (c)(v), over the life of the Designated Beneficiary or over a period certain not exceeding:


		
	(1)
	Unless the Benefit Commencement Date is before the first Distribution Calendar Year, the Life Expectancy of the Designated Beneficiary determined using the Designated Beneficiary’s age as of the Designated Beneficiary’s birthday in the calendar year immediately following the calendar year of the Participant’s death; or


		
	(2)
	If the Benefit Commencement Date is before the first Distribution Calendar Year, the Life Expectancy of the Designated Beneficiary determined using the Designated Beneficiary’s age as of the Designated Beneficiary’s birthday in the calendar year that contains the Benefit Commencement Date.


		
	(B)
	No Designated Beneficiary.  If the Participant dies before the date distributions begin and there is no Designated Beneficiary as of September 30 of the year following the year of the Participant’s death, distribution of the Participant’s entire vested benefit shall be completed by December 31 of the calendar year containing the fifth anniversary of the Participant’s death.




VIII-9


ActiveUS 100152855v.5









		
	(C)
	Death of Surviving Spouse Before Distributions to Surviving Spouse Begin.  If the Participant dies before the date distribution of his or her vested benefit 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 subsection shall apply as if the surviving spouse were the Participant, except that the time by which distributions must begin will be determined without regard to subsection (c)(v)(A).


		
	(iv)
	Minimum Required Distributions Made or Commencing Prior to January 1, 2003.  Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, the distribution of benefits under the Plan shall be made in accordance with Section 401(a)(9) of the Code and the Regulations, including the minimum distribution incidental benefit requirement of Regulation section 1.401(a)(9)-2.  Distributions made or commencing under this subsection to a Participant who has not yet terminated employment with the Employer shall be limited to the minimum required distributions pursuant to Section 401(a)(9) of the Code as in effect on December 31, 1995.  The Plan Administrator shall adopt appropriate rules to reduce the benefits paid under the Plan after the Participant terminates employment in order to reflect the distributions made while the Participant was still employed.


		
	(b)
	Elections.


		
	(i)
	Election to Apply 5-Year Rule to Distributions to Designated Beneficiaries.  If the Participant dies before distributions begin and there is a Designated Beneficiary, distribution to the Designated Beneficiary is not required to begin by the date specified in subsection (c)(v), but the Participant’s entire vested interest in the Plan shall be distributed to the Designated Beneficiary by December 31 of the calendar year containing the fifth anniversary of the Participant’s death.  Participants or Designated

ActiveUS 100152855v.5









Beneficiaries may elect on an individual basis whether the 5-year rule or the life expectancy rule in subsection (a)(iii) applies to distributions after the death of a Participant who has a Designated Beneficiary.  The election must be made no later than the earlier of September 30 of the calendar year in which distribution would be required to begin under subsection (c)(iv), or by September 30 of the calendar year which contains the fifth anniversary of the Participant’s (or, if applicable, surviving spouse’s) death.  If neither the Participant nor Designated Beneficiary makes an election under this subsection, distributions shall be made in accordance with subsection (a)(iii).  If the Participant’s surviving spouse is the Participant’s sole Designated Beneficiary and the surviving spouse dies after the Participant but before distributions to either the Participant or the surviving spouse begin, this election shall apply as if the surviving spouse were the Participant.
		
	(ii)
	Election to Allow Designated Beneficiary Receiving Distributions Under 5-Year Rule to Elect Life Expectancy Distributions.  A Designated Beneficiary who is receiving payments under the 5 year rule described in subsection (a) above may make a new election to receive payments under the life expectancy rule until December 31, 2003, provided that all amounts that would have been required to be distributed under the life expectancy rule for all Distribution Calendar Years before 2004 are distributed by the earlier of December 31, 2003 or the end of the 5-year period.


		
	(iii)
	Election under TEFRA Section 242(b)(2).  Notwithstanding any provision in this Article VIII to the contrary, distributions under the Plan may be made under a designation made before January 1, 1984, in accordance with Section 242(b)(2) of the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act (TEFRA).

To determine the adjustment, the present value of the benefits already paid will be converted to an annuity payable in the automatic form of payment for an unmarried Participant at Normal Retirement Date and subtracted from the Accrued Benefit so determined under Section 4.2 without regard to the prior benefit payments.  In no event, however, may the benefit be less than his original retirement benefit.  If such benefits have been paid in a lump sum in accordance with the terms of the Plan and if the Participant is subsequently reemployed by the Employer, he shall not accrue any benefits for service prior to his reemployment date unless such lump sum is repaid to the Trust Fund, with interest at five percent (5%) per annum.

and in the manner prescribed by the Administrative Committee, to have any portion of an “eligible rollover distribution” paid directly to an eligible retirement plan specified by the distributee in a direct rollover.
		
	(b)
	Definitions.  


		
	(i)
	“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 (10) years or more; any distribution to the extent such distribution is required under Section 401(a)(9) of the Code; a hardship distribution; or 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), except that an eligible rollover distribution shall include the portion that is not includable in gross income if the distribution is transferred in a direct trustee-to-trustee transfer to an individual retirement account or annuity described in Section 408(a) of (b) of the Code, a qualified defined benefit or defined contribution plan described in Section 401(a) or 403(a) of the Code, or an annuity contract described in Section 403(b) of the Code, which agrees to separately account for amounts so transferred, including separately accounting for the portion of such distribution which is includable in gross income and the portion of such distribution which is not includable.


		
	(ii)
	“Eligible retirement plan”:  An eligible retirement plan is an individual retirement account described in Section 408(a) of the Code, and individual 




VIII-16


ActiveUS 100152855v.5









retirement annuity described in Section 408(b) of the Code, an annuity plan described in Section 403(a) of the Code, an annuity contract described in Section 403(b) of the Code, a qualified trust described in Section 401(a) of the Code, or an eligible plan under Section 457(b) of the Code which is maintained by a state, political subdivision of a state, or any agency or instrumentality of a state or political subdivision of a state that accepts the distributee’s eligible rollover distribution and agrees to separately account for amounts transferred into such plan from the Plan., or to a Roth IRA described in Section 408A(b) of the Code.  The definition of an eligible retirement plan shall also apply in the case of a distribution to a surviving spouse or former spouse who is the alternate payee under a qualified domestic relations order as defined in Section 414(p) of the Code.
		
	(iii)
	“Distributee”:  A distributee includes an Employee or former Employee.  In addition, the Employee’s or former Employee’s surviving spouse and the Employee’s or former Employee’s spouse or former spouse who is the alternate payee under a qualified domestic relations order (qdro), as defined in Section 414(p) of the Code, are distributees without regard to the interest of the spouse or former spouse.  A distribute also includes the Participant’s nonspouse designated Beneficiary.  In the case of a nonspouse beneficiary, the direct rollover may be made only to an individual retirement account or annuity described in Section 408(a) or Section 408(b) (“IRA”) that is established on behalf of the designated beneficiary and that will be treated as an inherited IRA pursuant to the provisions of Section 402(c)(11).  Also, in this case, the determination of any required minimum distribution under Section 401(a)(9) of the Code that is ineligible for rollover shall be made in accordance with Notice 2007-7, Q&A 17 and 18.

	“Non-Spousal Rollovers”:  A distributee who is a designed beneficiary (as defined in Section 401(a)(9)(E) of the Code) of a deceased Participant and who is not the deceased Participant’s surviving Spouse (a “nonspousal beneficiary”) may elect, at the time and in the manner prescribed by the Administrator, to have any amount payable to him or her paid directly in a direct rollover.  The amount to be distributed in the direct rollover must satisfy all of the requirements to be an eligible rollover distribution other than the requirement that the distribution be made to the Participant or the Participant’s Eligible Spouse and must be paid in a direct trustee-to-trustee transfer to an individual retirement plan described in Section 402(c)(8)(B)(i) or (ii) of the Code that is established for the purposes of receiving the distribution on behalf of the nonspousal beneficiary.

RETIREE HEALTH PLAN ACCOUNT
		
	11.1
	Establishment of Retiree Health Plan.  


		
	(a)
	There is created, established and maintained under the Plan a separate account known as the Retiree Health Plan Account.  The Trustee and Administrative Committee agree to hold and administer the Retiree Health Plan Account, and to receive contributions hereto, for the purpose of providing for the payment of certain medical expenses pursuant to Section 401(h) of the Code, for Covered Retirees and their Covered Dependents (as such terms are defined below).  The separate account shall be for recordkeeping purposes only.  Funds contributed to the Retiree Health Plan Account may be invested without identification of which investments are allocable to the Retiree Health Plan Account.


		
	(b)
	(i)    No part of the income or corpus of the Retiree Health Plan Account shall be (either within the taxable year of contribution or thereafter) used for, or diverted to, any purpose (including the provision of any retirement benefits provided under the Plan) other than the provision of Medical Benefits, at any time prior to the satisfaction of all liabilities under the Plan with regard to the payment of Medical Benefits in accordance with this Section.  Notwithstanding the above, the payment of any necessary or appropriate expenses attributable to the administration of the Retiree Health Plan Account may be made from the income or corpus of such account.


(ii)    Notwithstanding any other termination provisions herein, any amounts in the Retiree Health Plan Account which remain in such account following satisfaction of all liabilities for the payment of Medical Benefits arising under this Section shall be returned to the Employer.


XI-1


ActiveUS 100152855v.5









		
	(c)
	Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Medical Benefits shall be payable to any person, who is, or ever has been, a Key Employee as defined in Section 14, or his Covered Dependents.


		
	11.2
	Definitions.  Whenever used in the Plan, the following terms shall have the meaning set forth below unless otherwise clearly required by the context:


		
	(a)
	“Covered Dependent” shall mean a Covered Retiree’s dependent who meets the conditions for coverage under the PerkinElmer, Inc. Retiree Health Plan.  In no event will the term Covered Dependent include any person who is an eligible Covered Retiree himself or any person who is employed full-time with the Employer.  If both parents of any Covered Dependent child are eligible Covered Retirees, the Covered Dependent child shall be considered as a Covered Dependent of only one of the Covered Retirees.


		
	(b)
	“Covered Retiree” shall mean a Retired Participant who has completed at least ten (10) Years of Service on his Normal or Early Retirement Date.  In no event shall a Covered Retiree include a person not covered under the PerkinElmer, Inc. Retiree Health Plan, nor a person who is or ever was a Key Employee.


		
	(c)
	“Medical Benefits” shall mean, with respect to a Covered Retiree, a percentage of the Per Capita Retiree Health Cost, such percentage being equal to three thousand, four hundred dollars ($3,400) as indexed from time to time) divided by the Per Capita Retiree Health Cost, but in no event in excess of one hundred percent (100%) of such cost.


		
	(d)
	“Per Capita Retiree Health Cost” for any year shall mean the total annual Employer cost of claims under the PerkinElmer, Inc. Retiree Health Plan, divided by the number of retired employees covered under that plan at any time during that year.




XI-2


ActiveUS 100152855v.5









		
	(e)
	“PerkinElmer, Inc. Retiree Health Plan” shall mean the PerkinElmer, Inc. health plan, as it relates to retired persons, as it shall be amended from time to time, and the provisions of such Plan shall be incorporated by reference herein.


		
	(f)
	“Retired Participant” shall mean an individual who was an active Participant under the Plan until his Early, Normal or Postponed Retirement Date and who retires from Employment with the Employer and is thereupon immediately eligible to receive retirement benefits hereunder.


		
	11.3
	Election to Continue Coverage.  If a Covered Dependent loses coverage as a result of the death or divorce of a Covered Retiree, such Covered Dependent shall have coverage continuation rights as shall be provided under the Retiree Health Plan, and the provisions of such continuation coverage shall be incorporated by reference with respect to benefits under the Retiree Health Plan Account created hereunder.  Because such continuation coverage shall be provided under the Retiree Health Plan at the Covered Dependent’s expense, no further benefits will be paid from the Retiree Health Plan Account with respect to such Covered Dependents.


		
	11.4
	Funding Method and Policy.  All contributions to fund benefits provided under this Section shall be made by the Employer, except those relating to Continuation Coverage.  Subject to the restrictions of this Section, the Employer shall contribute to the Retiree Health Plan Account annually an amount which is reasonably estimated to cover the total cost of the benefits to be provided hereunder and which satisfies the general requirements applicable to deductions allowable under Section 404 of the Code (as set forth in Treasury Regulations 1.404(a)-3(f)).  The total cost of providing Medical Benefits shall be determined in accordance with any generally accepted actuarial method which is reasonable in view of the provisions and coverage of the Plan, the funding medium, and other applicable considerations.


		
	11.5
	Subordination to Retirement Benefits.  It is intended that the Medical Benefits provided under this Section be subordinate at all times to the retirement benefits provided under the Plan.  Therefore, the aggregate of contributions (made after the effective date of 




XI-3


ActiveUS 100152855v.5









this Section) to the Retiree Health Plan Account, shall at no time exceed twenty-five percent (25%) of the aggregate of contributions (made after such effective date) for all purposes of the Plan, other than contributions to fund past service credits.  For this purpose, contributions to the Plan for benefits other than Medical Benefits shall not be deemed to be less than the cost of such benefits determined under the projected unit credit method (other than the cost of past service credits).
		
	11.6
	Benefits Provision.  The benefits payable pursuant to this Section shall be limited to the payment of Medical Benefits for Covered Retirees and their Covered Dependents.  The Medical Benefits provided under this Section and the Employer contributions to fund said Benefits shall not discriminate in favor of the highly compensated employees of the Employer within the meaning of Section 414(q) of the Code.


		
	11.7
	Coordination with Retiree Health Plan.  Benefits under the Plan shall be provided by reimbursing annually the Employer or other paying agent under the PerkinElmer, Inc. Retiree Health Plan for the percentage of the Per Capita Retiree Health Cost, as defined under Section 11.2(d) for each Covered Retiree.


		
	11.8
	Reservation of the Right to Terminate Benefits.  The Employer reserves the right to amend or terminate the Medical Benefits provided hereunder or the Retiree Health Plan at any time.  In such event, assets in the Medical Benefit Account shall be used to provide the Medical Benefits provided hereunder, both to Covered Retirees and those Participants who at the date of termination subsequently become Covered Retirees, but only to the extent assets remain in such account.  After the satisfaction of all such liabilities, any assets remaining shall revert to the Employer.


		
	11.9
	Disallowance of Deduction.  All contributions made to the Retiree Health Plan Account shall be conditioned upon their deductibility under the Code.  The disallowance of the deduction by the Internal Revenue Service shall be cause for reversion of the contribution to the Employer.

AMENDMENT AND DURATION OF PLAN
		
	12.1
	Right to Amend.  The Company (for itself and other Employers), shall have the right at any time to amend the Plan by written instrument approved by the Administrative Committee, except that no such amendment shall have the effect of reducing any benefits accrued to a Participant, Joint Annuitant or Beneficiary prior thereto, or cause any part of the assets of the Trust Fund to be diverted to any purpose other than for the exclusive benefit of Participants, Joint Annuitants, or Beneficiaries; provided, however, that an amendment that is expected to have a significant cost impact (including, without limitation, an amendment to merge or terminate the Plan) as determined by the Committee whose determination will be final and binding, must be approved by the Board of the Company; and provided further that the Senior Vice President Human Resources may approve any amendment necessary to comply with the Code, ERISA or other applicable laws and regulations.


		
	12.2
	Right to Suspend.  The Plan is adopted in the expectation that it will be continued indefinitely, but the continuance of the Plan and the payment of any contribution hereunder is not assumed as a contractual obligation.  Each Employer reserves the right to discontinue its contributions under the Plan and any Employer may discontinue further contributions under the Plan without discontinuing the Plan with respect to any other Employer.  The Company (for itself and the other Employers), as authorized by the Board, reserves the right to discontinue the Plan at any time.  The suspension of contributions shall not itself constitute a discontinuance of the Plan as long as the minimum funding requirements of Section 412 of the Code are met.


		
	12.3
	Distribution of Funds upon Termination.  The Plan may be terminated by the Board as to all or any particular group or groups of Participants and such other persons, if any, who have or may become entitled to benefits under the Plan on account of such Participant’s participation subject to the conditions that, at any time prior to the satisfaction of all liabilities with respect to Participants, Beneficiaries, Joint Annuitants and Eligible 




XII-1


ActiveUS 100152855v.5









Spouses, no part of the funds of the Plan shall, by reason of such termination, be at any time used for or diverted to purposes other than for the exclusive benefit of such persons.  Upon such termination of the Plan, or upon complete discontinuance of Company contributions, the funds of the Plan shall be allocated for the benefit of each Participant, Beneficiary, Joint Annuitant and Eligible Spouse in a manner approved by the Internal Revenue Service in accordance with the provisions of, and regulations issued pursuant to, Section 4044 of ERISA.
Upon termination or partial termination of the Plan, the right of each Participant to benefits accrued to the date of such termination or partial termination to the extent funded shall be nonforfeitable.
Upon termination of the Plan with respect to a group of Participants which constitutes a partial termination of the Plan, the proportionate interest of each Participant, Beneficiary, Joint Annuitant and Eligible Spouse affected by such partial termination shall be determined in a manner approved by the Internal Revenue Service in accordance with the provisions of, and regulations issued pursuant to, Section 4044 of ERISA.
The amount allocated for the benefit of each Participant, Beneficiary, Joint Annuitant or in accordance with the above shall be applied for the benefit of each Participant, Beneficiary, Joint Annuitant or Eligible Spouse either by a cash payment, or by insurance company contract or by the continuance of the fund and the payment of retirement incomes therefrom in such amounts as may be provided by the funds so allocated, all as the Administrative Committee shall determine.  However, in the event that the assets available for allocation are less than the value of insured vested benefits, the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation may direct how the allocated amounts are to be applied.
In the event of any such termination, the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) will be notified in accordance with the notice requirements established by the PBGC.
If any of the funds of the Plan remain after the satisfaction of all liabilities of the Plan, the said remaining funds shall be paid by the Trustee to the Company.

	(b)
	Adjudication of an Employer as a bankrupt or a general assignment by the Employer to or for the benefit of creditors or a dissolution of any Employer.


		
	12.5
	Merger or Consolidation.  In the event of any merger or consolidation of the Plan with (or transfer in whole or in part of the assets and liabilities of a trust not another Trust) any other plan of deferred compensation maintained or to be established for the benefit of all or some of the Participants of the Plan, the assets of a trust applicable to such Participants shall be transferred to another trust fund only if:


		
	(a)
	Each Participant would (if either the Plan or the other plan then terminated) receive a benefit immediately after the merger, consolidation or transfer which is equal to or greater than the benefit he would have been entitled to receive immediately before this merger, consolidation or transfer (if the Plan then terminated);

Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to give to any Employee the right to be retained in the employ of an Employer or to interfere with the right of the Employer to discharge any Employee at any time, nor shall it be deemed to give the Employer the right to require any Employee to remain in its employ, nor shall it interfere with the Employee’s right to terminate his Employment at any time.


		
	13.2
	Benefits Payable from Trust.  All benefits payable under the Plan shall be paid or provided for solely from the Trust Fund and Employers assume no liability or responsibility therefor.


		
	13.3
	Non-alienation of Benefits.  Except in the case of a Qualified Domestic Relations Order, the interest hereunder of any Participant, Joint Annuitant, or Beneficiary shall not be alienable by the Participant, Joint Annuitant, or Beneficiary either by assignment or by any other method and shall not be subject to be taken by his creditors by any process whatever.  The Administrative Committee shall establish a written procedure to determine the qualified status of domestic relations orders and to administer distributions under such qualified orders.


The Plan may offset against the benefit of any Participant, any amount that the Participant is ordered or required to pay under a judgment, order, decree or settlement agreement described in ERISA Section 206(d)(4) and Section 401(a)(13)(C) of the Code.
		
	13.4
	Rights of Participants.  All rights of every Participant under the Plan with relation to the Trust Fund or which may arise against or affect the Trustee shall be enforced exclusively by the Administrative Committee, which is hereby given the express power and authority to enforce all such rights as the representatives of every Participant under the Plan, and in 




XIII-1


ActiveUS 100152855v.5









any action or proceeding with relation to the Trust Fund or brought by or against the Trustee, the Administrative Committee shall be deemed to represent every Participant.
		
	13.5
	Enforcement.  The Plan and any subsequent amendments thereto, shall be construed and enforced under the Code, ERISA, and the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.


		
	13.6
	Payment of Plan Expenses.  Investment brokerage fees, transfer taxes, cost of necessary actuarial studies, and similar cost arising as a direct result of the making of investments, actuarial studies, sales of assets or realization of investment yield shall be paid from the Trust Fund.


		
	13.7
	Restriction on Benefits.  In the event of Plan termination, the benefit of any highly compensated active or form Employee is limited to a benefit that is nondiscriminatory under Section 401(a)(4) of the Code.


Benefits distributed to any of the 25 most highly compensated active and highly compensated former Employees with the greatest Compensation in the current or any prior year are restricted such that the annual payments are no greater than an amount equal to the payment that would be made on behalf of the Employee under a straight life annuity that is the Actuarial Equivalent of the sum of the Employee’s Accrued Benefit, the Employee’s other benefits under the Plan (other than a Social Security supplement, within the meaning of Section 1.411(a)-7(c)(4)(ii) of the Treasury Regulations, and the amount the employee is entitled to receive under a Social Security supplement.
The preceding paragraph shall not apply if: (1) after payment of the benefit to an Employee described in the preceding paragraph, the value of Plan assets equals or exceeds one hundred percent (100%) of the value of current liabilities, as defined in Section 412(l)(7) of the Code, (2) the value of the benefits for an Employee described above is less than one percent (1%) of the value of current liabilities before distribution, or (3) the value of the benefits payable under the Plan to an Employee described above does not exceed $5,000.


XIII-2


ActiveUS 100152855v.5









For purposes of this Section 13.7, benefit includes loans in excess of the amount set forth in Section 72(p)(2)(A) of the Code, any periodic income, any withdrawal values payable to a living employee, and any death benefits not provided for by insurance on the Employee’s life.
		
	13.8
	Illegal Provisions.  If any provisions of the Plan shall be held illegal or invalid for any reason, said illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining provisions of the Plan, but shall be fully severable, and the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if said illegal or invalid provisions had never been inserted herein.


		
	13.9
	Forfeitures.  Forfeitures arising from termination of Employment, death, or for any other reason must not be applied to increase the benefits any Employee would otherwise receive under the Plan at any time prior to the termination of the Plan or the complete discontinuance of Employer’s contribution thereunder; the amount forfeited must be used as soon as possible to reduce the Employer’s contributions.


		
	13.10
	Lump Sum Payments.  Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary, including the requirement to obtain spousal consent to a distribution, if the Actuarial Equivalent present value of the benefit from the Trust Fund payable to any person shall not exceed $1,000 and the benefit has not yet commenced, a lump sum payment of such Actuarial Equivalent present value shall automatically be made to the appropriate recipient as soon as practicable following the date the Actuarial Equivalent present value was determined in lieu of all other benefits under the Plan.  Such determination shall be made on or after the date the Participant terminates Employment or dies, as applicable.  Such determination shall also be made as of the first day of each Plan Year (provided no benefit has yet commenced) based on the Actuarial Equivalent assumptions then in effect.  


If the Actuarial Equivalent present value of the benefit from the Trust Fund payable to a Participant is $0, the Participant shall be deemed to have received a distribution of his vested Accrued Benefit.  If a Participant who is deemed to have received a distribution in accordance with this Section 13.10 resumes Employment with the Employer before incurring five (5) consecutive One year Breaks in Service, the participant will be deemed 


XIII-3


ActiveUS 100152855v.5









to have made repayment in accordance with Section 13.11 of the amount of the deemed distribution upon his resumption of Employment.
		
	13.11
	Repayment of Lump Sums.  In the event that an individual’s Accrued Benefit has been distributed in the form of a lump sum in accordance with Section 13.10, and that individual later returns to Employment with an Employer, the following rules shall apply in determining the individual’s Years of Service under Articles V and VII of the Plan:


		
	(a)
	If the individual returns to Employment and repays within five (5) years of the date of reemployment the amount he received from the Trust plus interest compounded annually at the Actuarial Equivalent interest rate in effect on the January 1st of the Year of reemployment, his prior Years of Service will be reinstated under both Articles V and VII of the Plan.


		
	(b)
	If the individual returns to Employment and does not repay the amount received from the Trust, his prior Years of Service will be reinstated under Article V of the Plan.


		
	13.12
	Headings.  The headings of articles and sections hereof are included solely for convenience and for reference, and if there be any conflict between such headings and the text of the Plan, the text shall control.


		
	13.13
	Action by Employer.  Any action by the Employer under the Plan may be by resolution of its Board, or by an person or persons duly authorized by resolution of said Board to take such action.


		
	13.14
	Gender and Number.  The masculine gender words include both sexes, the single includes the plural, and the plural includes the single, unless the context clearly otherwise requires.


		
	13.15
	Qualified Military Service.  Notwithstanding any provisions of the Plan to the contrary, contributions, benefits and service credit with respect to qualified military service will be provided in accordance with Section 414(u) of the Code.  In addition, in accordance with 




XIII-4


ActiveUS 100152855v.5









Section 401(a)(37) of the Code, the survivors of a Participant who dies while performing qualified military service shall be entitled to additional benefits (other than benefit accruals relating to the period of qualified military service) that would be provided under the Plan if the Participant had resumed employment and then terminated employment on account of death.  Thus, to the extend required by Section 401(a)(37) and Section 414(u)(8)(B), such a Participant shall be credited with vesting service for the period of the Participant’s qualified military service.

ARTICLE XIV     
 
TOP-HEAVY PLAN RESTRICTIONS
The following restrictions shall apply if the Plan becomes a Top-Heavy Plan.
		
	14.1
	Definitions.  For purposes of this Article XIV, the following definitions shall apply:


		
	(a)
	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 an officer of the Employer having annual compensation greater than $130,000 (as adjusted under Section 416(i)(1) of the Code for Plan Years beginning after December 31, 2002 ($165,000 for 2012), a 5 percent (5%) owner of the Employer, or a 1-percent (1%) owner of the Employer having annual compensation of more than $150,000.  For this purpose, annual compensation means compensation within the meaning of Section 415(c)(3) of the Code.  The determination of who is a Key Employee will be made in accordance with Section 416(i)(1) of the Code and applicable regulations and other guidance of general applicability issued thereunder.


		
	(b)
	Non-Key Employee – any Employee who is not a Key Employee.


		
	(c)
	Determination Date – the last day of the preceding Plan Year, or of the current Plan Year, if the Plan was not in existence during the preceding year.


		
	(d)
	Valuation Date – the annual date on which the Plan’s assets and liabilities are valued.  This is the same valuation date used for computing Plan costs for minimum funding.


		
	(e)
	Annual Compensation – an Employee’s Compensation (as defined in Section 6.2(b)) received from the Employer during the Plan Year.


		
	14.2
	Top-Heavy Plan.  The Plan is a Top-Heavy Plan with respect to any Plan Year if, as of the most recent Valuation Date occurring within a twelve (12) month period ending on 




XIV-1


ActiveUS 100152855v.5









the Determination Date applicable to such Plan Year, the total value of Accrued Benefits of Key Employees exceeds sixty percent (60%) of the Total Value of Accrued Benefits for all Participants.
The present value of Accrued Benefits and the amounts of account balances of a Participant as of the Determination Date shall be increased by the distributions made with respect to the Participant under the Plan and any plan aggregated with the Plan under Section 416(g)(2) of the Code during the one (1) year period ending on the Determination Date.  The preceding sentence shall also apply to distributions under a terminated plan which, had it not been terminated, would have been aggregated with the Plan under Section 416(g)(2)(A)(i) of the Code.  In the case of a distribution made for a reason other than severance from employment, death, or disability, this provision shall be applied by substituting “five (5) year period” for “one (1) year period.”  
If any Employee has not performed services for the Employer at any time during the one (1) year period ending on the Determination Date, his Accrued Benefit shall be disregarded for purposes of determining whether the Plan is Top-Heavy as set forth in Section 416(g)(4)(E) of the Code.
A Key Employee in a prior Plan Year who is not a Key Employee with respect to a current Plan Year shall be excluded entirely in computing the percentage in the first paragraph above.
		
	14.3
	Restrictions.  The following restrictions shall apply if the Plan becomes a Top-Heavy Plan.


		
	(a)
	Vesting.  A Participant of a Top-Heavy Plan shall have a nonforfeitable interest in his Accrued Benefit derived from Employer contributions as provided under the following schedule:




XIV-2


ActiveUS 100152855v.5









	
		
	YEARS OF SERVICE
	VESTED PERCENTAGE OF ACCRUED BENEFIT



	Less than 2
	0%

	2
	20%

	3
	40%

	4
	60%

	5 or more
	100%






Accrued Benefit, for purposes of this subsection (a), shall include that portion of Accrued Benefits which the Participant earned during all prior Plan Years, whether or not the Plan was a Top-Heavy Plan during such prior Plan Years.
If the Plan ceases to be Top-Heavy, the vesting schedule shall revert to the schedule set forth in Section 4.5.  However, any portion of a Participant’s Accrued Benefit that was vested before the Plan ceased to be Top-Heavy shall remain non-forfeitable, and any Employee who has three or more Years of Service for Vesting may elect to have the Top-Heavy vesting schedule apply to his benefits.
		
	(b)
	Minimum Benefits.  During any Plan Year in which the Plan is a Top-Heavy Plan, the Accrued Benefit, derived from Employer’s contributions and expressed as a life annuity commencing at Normal Retirement Date, of a Non-Key Employee, shall be the greater of the benefit accrued for that year under Section 2.2 of the Plan or (1) times (2) where:


		
	(i)
	is the Employee’s Average Compensation; and


		
	(ii)
	is two percent (2%) per Year of Service, not to exceed twenty percent (20%).


Each Non-Key Employee who is a Participant and has completed at least 1,000 Hours of Service during an accrual computation period must accrue a minimum benefit in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4.3(b) regardless of 


XIV-3


ActiveUS 100152855v.5









whether such Non-Key Employee’s level of Compensation and regardless of whether such Non-Key Employee is employed on a specified date.
Any accrual of Company-derived benefits, whether or not attributable to years of which the Plan is Top-Heavy, may be used to satisfy such minimum benefits.
For purposes of this subsection (b), the following definitions are applicable:
		
	(i)
	Years of Service shall be the Participant’s Years of Service except any service with the Employer shall be disregarded to the extent that such service occurs during a Plan Year when the Plan benefits (within the meaning of Section 410(b) of the Code) no Key Employee or former Key Employee any year which includes the last day of a Plan Year which the Plan was not a Top-Heavy Plan.


		
	(ii)
	Average Compensation shall be the Participant’s average Compensation from the Employer during that period of five (5) consecutive years (or actual years, if less than five) which produce the highest average.


		
	14.4
	Plan Aggregations.  For purposes of determining top-heaviness, the aggregation group shall include:


		
	(a)
	each plan of the Employer in which a Key Employee is a participant; and


		
	(b)
	each other plan of the Employer that allows a covering a Key Employee to meet qualification requirements under the coverage and anti-discrimination rules of Sections 401(a)(4) and 410 of the Code; and


		
	(c)
	each terminated plan described in subsection (a) or (b) above maintained by the Employer during the Plan Year containing the Determination Date or any of the four preceding Plan Years (regardless of whether the plan has terminated); and


		
	(d)
	at the option of the Employer, any other plan maintained by the Employer as long as the expanded aggregation group including such plan or plans continues to 




XIV-4


ActiveUS 100152855v.5









satisfy coverage and anti-discrimination rules of Sections 401(a)(4) and 410 of the Code.
The Plan shall be a Top-Heavy Plan only if the sum of (a) the percent value of Accrued Benefits for Key Employees, as determined under the provisions of this Article applicable to defined benefit plans, under all such plans included within the aggregation group, and (b) the aggregate of the account balances of Key Employees, as determined under the provisions of this article applicable to defined contribution plans, exceeds sixty percent (60%) of a similar sum determined for all participants in such plans.
If the Plan becomes a Top-Heavy Plan, for Participants who are covered by both the Plan and a defined contribution plan of the Employer, the minimum benefit required shall be provided under the Plan.  The Plan Administrator shall act pursuant to Treasury Regulations in carrying out these options.
Solely for the purpose of determining if the Plan, or any other Plan included in a required aggregation group of which the Plan is a part, is Top-Heavy (within the meaning of Section 416(g) of the Code) the Accrued Benefit each Non-Key Employee shall be determined under (1) the method, if any, that uniformly applies for accrual purposes under all plans maintained by the Employer and all entities related to the Employer under Section 414 of the Code 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 accrual rate of Section 411(b)(1)(C) of the Code.


XIV-5


ActiveUS 100152855v.5











The minimum benefit requirements of Section 416(c)(1) of the Code and the Plan shall be met as to non-Key Employees who participate in the Plan and in the PerkinElmer, Inc. Savings Plan providing the minimum benefit to such Non-Key Employees under the Plan.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, and as evidence of the adoption of the Plan, the undersigned officer duly authorized has appended his signature this 20th day of December, 2012.

(b)       that portion of a Year of Credited Service determined by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Hours of Service with which the Missouri Metals Participant is credited in the calendar year and the denominator of which is the number of his regularly scheduled, annual Hours of Service.  The fraction described in this subsection shall not exceed one (1).
3.04    Special Rules.
(a)       For purposes of section 3.01 and section 3.02 of this Appendix G, service with a predecessor company shall be credited only upon the approval of the Board of Directors.
(b)       For purposes of section 3.02 of this Appendix G, a Missouri Metals Employee shall receive credit for service during the twenty-six (26) week waiting period in which no disability retirement benefits are paid, if he thereafter is determined to suffer a Total Disability.
(c)       For purposes of section 3.02 and section 3.03 of this Appendix G, a Missouri Metals Employee shall not receive credit for service before November 1, 1980.

G-4


ActiveUS 100152855v.5









(b)       Service credited under this section shall not be credited for any other purpose under the Plan unless such service is comprised of Hours of Service.
(c)       If a Missouri Metals Employee is absent from work by reason of pregnancy, childbirth or adoption, or for purposes of the care of such Missouri Metals Employee’s child immediately after birth or adoption, such Missouri Metals Employee shall be credited solely for purposes of this section with sufficient Hours of Service to avoid a Break in Service in the calendar year in which the absence commences or, if the Missouri Metals Employee already has been credited with more than 500 Hours of Service in such calendar year, the immediately following calendar year.  Hours of Service during such absence shall be credited in an amount equal to the Hours of Service with which the Missouri Metals Employee would have been credited but for such absence or, if such hours cannot be determined, at the rate of eight (8) hours per normal workday.
3.06    Restoration of Service.
(a)       A Missouri Metals Participant who has a vested right to a benefit under section 6.01 of this Appendix G and who incurs a Break in Service shall have his pre-break and post-break service with the Company, the Employer and each Affiliated Entity aggregated for purposes of sections 3.01 and 3.02 of this Appendix G on his reemployment by the Company, Employer or an Affiliated Entity.
(b)       A Missouri Metals Participant who does not have a vested right to a benefit under section 6.01 of this Appendix G and who incurs a Break in Service shall have his pre-break and post-break service with the Company, Employer and each Affiliated Entity aggregated for purposes of sections 3.01 and 3.02 of this Appendix G if he is reemployed at a time when the number of his consecutive Breaks in Service is less than the greater of (1) the number of Years of Service he had accrued before his Break in Service, or (2) five.  If the number of his consecutive Breaks in Service is equal to or greater than the number of his Years of Service before the break or five, if greater, he shall receive no credit for his pre-break service for purposes of section 3.01 and 3.02 of this Appendix G.
3.07       Uniformity.  The provisions of this Article Three shall be applied according to non-discriminatory rules of general application.
ARTICLE FOUR

ActiveUS 100152855v.5









xt following the date on which he terminates employment with the Company, the Employer and each Affiliated Entity.  This date shall be his Late Retirement Date.
4.03       Early Retirement.  A Missouri Metals Participant shall be eligible for early retirement benefits as of the first day of the calendar month coincident with or next following the month in which he attains age 55, accrues 15 Years of Service, and terminates employment with the Company, the Employer and each Affiliated Entity.  This date shall be his Early Retirement Date.
4.04    Disability Retirement.
(a)       A Missouri Metals Participant shall be eligible for the disability retirement benefits described in section 5.04 of this Appendix G if, after he has accrued 15 or more Years of Service, he suffers a Total Disability which continues for at least twenty-six (26) weeks and causes him to terminate his employment with the Company, the Employer and each Affiliated Entity.  The first day of the month coincident with or next following the expiration of the twenty-six (26) week period of Total Disability or the Administrative Committee’s receipt of medical certification of Total Disability, if later, shall be the Missouri Metals Participant’s Disability Retirement Date.
(b)      Total Disability shall be established on the basis of an independent medical examination to the satisfaction of the Administrative Committee, using nondiscriminatory standards uniformly applied.  The Administrative Committee may direct that any former Missouri Metals Employee receiving Total Disability benefits shall be reexamined without expense to him from time to time, but not more than once in any calendar year, to determine if Total Disability continues to exist.  Benefits hereunder shall terminate at any time that the former Missouri Metals Employee ceases to be disabled under this section.  Failure to submit to such reexamination shall be cause for termination of Total Disability benefits hereunder.
4.05       Furnishing Data.  Each Employee shall furnish such data as the Administrative Committee may consider necessary for the determination of the Employee’s rights and benefits under the Plan and shall otherwise cooperate fully with the Administrative Committee in the administration of the Plan.

EXECUTION VERSION
PERKINELMER, INC. EMPLOYEES RETIREMENT PLAN


(Amended and Restated Effective as of January 1, 2012) First Amendment
WHEREAS, PerkinElmer, Inc. (the "Company") maintains the PerkinElmer, Inc. Employees Retirement Plan, as amended and restated effective January 1, 2012 (the "Plan");
WHEREAS, the Company wishes to amend the Plan in connection with obtaining a favorable determination  letter from the Internal Revenue Service as to the Plan's  continued qualified status; and
WHEREAS, the Company reserves the right pursuant to Section 12.1 to amend the Plan. NOW, THEREFORE, the Company hereby amends the Plan as follows, effective as set 
forth herein:


1.         Section 2.34 is amended effective on the date hereof in its entirety to read as follows:
"Normal Retirement Age" means social security retirement age as defined in Code Section 415(b)(8), based on the year of a Participant's birth (age 65 in the case of a Participant born in 1942 and earlier; age 66 in the case of a Participant born in 1943 through 1959; age 67 in the case of a Participant born in or after 1960).  Prior to January 1, 1989, the Normal Retirement Age was 65; provided, however, that the Employee is 100% vested on the day the Employee attained 65.


2.         Section 6.2(i)(ii)(A)  is amended effective for limitation years beginning on or after July 1, 2007 by designating paragraph (2) thereof as paragraph (2)(I) and adding a new subparagraph (2)(II) to read as follows:
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 Defined Benefit Dollar Limitation for the Participant's annuity starting date is the lesser of the limitation determined under Section 6.2(i)(ii)(A)(2)(I) and the Defined Benefit Dollar Limitation (adjusted under Section 6.2(i)(i) 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 article.


3.         Section 6.2(i)(ii)(B) is amended effective for limitation years beginning on or after July 1, 2007 by designating paragraph (2) thereof as paragraph (2)(I) and adding a new subparagraph (2)(II) to read as follows:
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 Defined Benefit Dollar Limitation at the Participant's annuity starting date is the lesser of the limitation determined under Section 6.2(i)(ii)(B)(2)(I) above, and the Defined Benefit Dollar Limitation (adjusted under Section 6.2(i)(i) 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 article. 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.


IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this First Amendment to be executed this 14th day of November 2013.
