 INTRODUCTION 
 The Zions Bancorporation Pension Plan became effective on January 1, 1968. The Plan has been amended and restated from time to time. 
 Prior to this restatement the most recent restatement of the Plan was effective January 1,2001. That restatement is referred to herein as the “Prior Plan.” All provisions of the Prior Plan
were effective as of January 1, 2001; except that (1) provisions pertaining to the establishment and maintenance of Cash Balance Accounts were effective April 1, 1997; (2) provisions pertaining to Grossmont Participants and
former participants of the Grossmont Plan were effective January 1, 1998; (3) provisions pertaining to Sumitomo Participants and former participants of the Sumitomo Plan were effective October 1, 1998; and (4) provisions
pertaining to Commerce Participants and former participants of the Commerce Plan were effective January 1, 1999. 
 The Prior Plan restated
the Plan document which was effective as of April 1, 1997. That document included the terms and conditions of a cash balance account feature, which was established as of January 1, 1997, for Active and Disabled Participants in the Plan as
of March 31, 1997. 
 The Prior Plan restatement incorporated the terms of Amendments 1 through 4 to the April 1, 1997 restatement and
other modifications approved by Zions Bancorporation through January 31, 2002. The Prior Plan restatement furthermore incorporated modifications resulting from changes in the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) and other provisions of
federal law that were enacted or became effective on various dates from 1994 through 2000 (sometimes referred to collectively as “GUST” changes in law). Moreover, effective January 1,2002, the Prior Plan restatement incorporated less
restrictive legal limitations on pension benefits, as authorized by the Economic Growth and Tax Reduction Reconciliation Act of 200 1 (“EGTRRA”). 
 Effective at the close of business December 31, 1997, the Grossmont Bank Restated Defined Benefit Pension Plan and Trust (the “Grossmont Plan”), restated effective January 1, 1996, was
merged into this Plan. Nothing in this Plan shall be construed to provide a benefit to a Participant under this Plan for a period of service for which he or she has received a benefit under the Grossmont Plan. The eligibility for and the amount of
benefit of a former employee who terminated or retired under the Grossmont Bank Restated Defined Benefit Pension Plan and Trust prior to January 1, 1998, and who does not participate in this Plan on or after January 1, 1998, shall be
determined exclusively by the provisions of the Grossmont Plan that were in effect as of the earlier of the former employee’s date of termination or retirement, except as specifically stated otherwise in the Grossmont Plan. With respect to the
merger of the Plans, this Plan shall be interpreted and administered to comply with ERISA Section 204(g) and Code Sections 411(d)(6) and 414(1). 
 Effective at the close of business October 31, 1998, the Sumitomo Bank of California Pension Plan (“Sumitomo Plan”), restated effective January 1, 1989, was merged into this Plan,
Nothing in this Plan shall be construed to provide a benefit under this Plan for a period of service for which he or she has received a benefit under the Sumitomo Plan. The eligibility for and the amount of benefit of a former employee who
terminated under the Sumitomo Plan prior to October 1, 1998, and who does not actively participate in this Plan on or after October 1, 1998, shall be determined exclusively by the provisions of that plan. With respect to the merger of the
Plans, this Plan shall be interpreted and administered to comply with ERISA Section 204(g) and Code Sections 411(d)(6) and 414(1).

 Effective at the close of business December 31, 1998, the Commerce Bancorporation Defined Benefit
Pension Plan (“Commerce Plan”), restated effective July 21, 1994, was merged into this Plan. Nothing in this Plan shall be construed to provide a benefit under this Plan for a period of service for which he or she has received a
benefit under the Commerce Plan. The eligibility for and the amount of benefit of a former employee who terminated under the Commerce Plan before January 1, 1999 and who does not actively participate in this Plan on or after January 1,
1999, shall be determined exclusively by the provisions of that plan. With respect to the merger of the Plans, this Plan shall be interpreted and administered to comply with ERISA Section 204(g) and Code Sections 411(d)(6) and 414(1).

 The Plan and Trust thereunder are created and maintained for the primary purpose of providing retirement benefits for eligible employees of
Zions Bancorporation and its affiliates. It is intended that the Plan and Trust qualify under Sections 401(a) and 501(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and that they meet the requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security
Act of 1974, as amended. 
 Except for other dates provided herein for certain Plan provisions, this Plan is effective as of January 1,
2002. This Plan includes amendments adopted to reflect certain provisions of EGTRRA, which were intended as good faith compliance with the requirements of EGTRRA. They are to be construed in accordance with EGTRRA and guidance issued thereunder.
Unless otherwise provided, amendments included in this Plan in compliance with EGTRRA are effective as of the first day of the first plan year beginning after December 31, 2001. Provisions included in this Plan as amendments conforming to
EGTRRA supersede all other provisions of the Plan to the extent that those provisions are inconsistent with such amendments. Moreover, this Plan has been amended to comply with all legislation and applicable guidance enacted and issued subsequent to
EGTRRA, including the Pension Protection Act of 2006. This Plan shall be interpreted at ail times so as to comply with the requirements of the Code and of ERISA as so amended. 
 Except as specifically provided in the Plan, the rights and benefits of any Participant who terminates, dies or retires prior to the effective date of this restatement or any other amendment to the Plan
will be determined pursuant to the provisions of the Plan in effect on the earlier of his or her date of retirement, death or termination.

(or date of reinstatement as an Active Participant), where the Participation Date (or reinstatement date) is later than January 1 of the Plan Year, but where the Participant accrues 1,000 Hours of Service for the Plan Year, then:


  

	 	(1)	If the Participant received Earnings as an Employee for the period from January 1 of such Plan Year to the Participation Date (or reinstatement date), the Earnings
Credit for that Plan Year shall be the product of the amount determined under Section 3.2(a) times a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of completed months of Plan participation as an Active Participant during the Plan Year, and the
denominator of which is 12 (or, if less, the number of months from January 1 to the date of the Participant’s Termination of Employment; and

Participation Date upon an Acquisition Date as described in Section 3.2(c), or a right to an immediate reinstatement of Participation following a Break in Service or Period of Authorized Absence as described in Section 2.2), then the
Earnings Credit shall be determined as described in 3.2(a) taking into account the Earnings from the Participation Date through December 31 (or, if earlier, the date of the Participant’s Termination of Employment, as described in
Section 3.2(c)). 

  

	 	(c)	 Acquisitions in a Year of Less Than 1,000 Hours. This subsection shall apply to a Participant who becomes a Participant in this Plan as the result of
an acquisition with an “Acquisition Effective Date” (as stated in Appendix N) other than January 1 of a Plan Year, and who fails to complete 1,000 Hours of Service in the Plan Year containing the Acquisition Effective Date. Such a
Participant shall be entitled to an Earnings Credit for such Plan Year, if such Participant’s Hours of Service earned following the Acquisition Effective Date, when annualized, equal or exceed 1,000. The annualized hours shall be the product of
the Participant’s actual Hours of 



  
 20 










	 	 
Service times a fraction, the numerator of which is 12 and the denominator of which is the number of completed months as an Active Participant during the said Plan Year. The Earnings Credit for
such Plan Year shall be as stated in Section 3.2(b)(2). For this purpose, Earnings will not include amounts earned prior to the Acquisition Effective Date. 



 

	 	(d)	Earnings Credit If Employment Terminates Prior to Year End. Subject to the terms of subsection (e), the Cash Balance Account of a Participant who is not an Employee on

or earnings credit under this Section 3.2. 

  

	 	(g)	Earnings Credits for Grandfather Participants. As of the last day of each Plan Year the Cash Balance Account of each Grandfather Participant (as defined in
Section 4.8(b)) who is employed on that date and who has completed at least 1,000 Hours of Service during the Plan Year will be credited with an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying the Grandfather Participant’s Earnings for
the Plan Year by a percentage from the following table, which percentage is based upon the Grandfather Participant’s age as of the last day of the Plan Year: 


 

					
	 Attained Age
	  	 Percentage
	 
	 At least 55 years, but less than 60 years
	  	 	4.00	%

interest on 30-year Treasury securities for November of the previous Plan Year. If a Participant’s benefit commences prior to the end of a calendar quarter, no interest will be credited for the quarter. Notwithstanding the provisions of
Section 3.2(f), Interest 


  
 21 










	 	 
Credits shall continue to accrue as provided in Section 3.3 for each Participant who has a Cash Balance Account in the Plan as of January 1, 2003. 



 

	 	(b)	If An Account Balance Is Established During a Plan Year. Notwithstanding the prior paragraph, the terms of this subsection shall apply to a Participant who, on a date

Section 3.1(b) or 3.5(a), or in the case of an initial Participation Date of a former employee of an acquired company described in Section 3.1 (d), 3.1(e), 3.1(f) or 3.1(h). In such a case, the Participant’s Cash Balance Account shall
be credited with interest during the remainder of such a Plan Year (subject to the terms of Section 3.4, if applicable), as follows. 

  

	 	(1)	As of the last day of the calendar quarter in which the Cash Balance Account is established, the interest for such initial calendar quarter shall be the product of the
opening balance of the Cash Balance Account, times 25% of the annual rate of interest (as stated subsection (a) above), times a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of complete calendar months from the effective date of the
establishment of the Cash Balance Account to the end of the calendar quarter, and the denominator of which is three. 

  

	 	(2)	In any subsequent calendar quarter during the same Plan Year, interest shall be credited as stated in Section 3.1(a), except that the principal amount shall be the
opening balance of the Cash Balance Account rather than the balance as of January 1 of the Plan Year. 

  

	3.4	Maintenance of Account after Termination of Employment until Benefit Commencement. 


 

	 	(a)	After Termination of Employment. After Termination of Employment, a Participant’s Cash Balance Account will continue to be maintained and credited with interest
pursuant to Section 3.3, until the Participant’s benefit commences to be paid or is deemed to be paid under Section 6.3(b). 

  

	 	(b)	If Re-Employed with an Existing Cash Balance Account Prior to Benefit Commencement. This subsection shall apply to a Terminated Vested Participant who (i) is
reemployed as an Eligible Employee of the Company, (ii) is reinstated to Active Participant status as of such re-employment date according to Section 2.2, and (iii) has an existing Cash Balance Account. In such a case, on and after
the date of reinstatement of Active Participant status, the Cash Balance Account will continue to be credited with interest on a quarterly basis, and the Active Participant shall have a right to receive Earnings Credits to the extent provided in
Section 3.2(b). 

  

	3.5	Establishment of New Account if Re-employed After Benefit Commencement. 

  

	 	(a)	 If a Nonvested Former Participant’s Cash Balance Account has ceased to be maintained due to the deemed zero-dollar “cash-out”
distribution (under Section 6.3(b» of his or her entire interest under the Plan, he or she becomes an Active Participant prior to incurring five consecutive Breaks in Service, and he or she completes a Year of Vesting Service following
the date of re-employment, then, as of the date of becoming an Active Participant (but contingent upon satisfying the said Year of Service requirement), the Participant’s Cash Balance Account will be restored to the balance in the Cash Balance
Account as of the previous Termination of Employment 



  
 22 










	 	 
date, increased for interest in accordance with Section 3.3 for the period from the Termination of Employment date to the date the Participant again became an Active Participant.



  

	 	(b)	If a Retired Participant is re-employed by the Company and again becomes an Active Participant in the Plan after his or her Cash Balance Account has ceased to be
maintained pursuant to Section 3.4, a new Cash Balance Account, with an initial balance of zero, will be established as of the last day of the Plan Year in which he or she again becomes an Active Participant. The Cash Balance Account will be
credited with earnings and interest as provided in Sections 3.2 and 3.3. Any Retirement Income which is being paid as a monthly benefit to the Retired Participant as of the date of his or her re-employment shall not be suspended and shall be
unaffected by the resumption of employment. The benefit accrued by the Participant from the date of re-employment to the subsequent Termination of Employment shall be subject to an election by the Participant with respect to the form and timing of
the benefit which is separate and independent from the election that was applicable to the benefit that commenced on the prior Retirement Date. Moreover, to the extent that a spousal consent is applicable to the benefit that accrued subsequent to
the re-employment date, the person with the right to consent shall be the Eligible Spouse (if any) to whom the Participant is legally married at the time of the commencement of the benefit that accrued subsequent to the re-employment date, and not
the Eligible Spouse as of the first Retirement Date. 

  

	3.6	Market Rate of Interest. With respect to any distribution made from a Participant’s Cash Balance Account after August 17, 2006, the interest rate used for
accumulating a Participant’s Cash Balance Account shall not exceed a market rate of return. Regardless of the rate specified in the Plan an interest credit (or equivalent amount) of less than zero shall in no event result in the Cash Balance
Account or similar amount being less than the aggregate amount of contributions credited to the Cash Balance Account. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon termination of the Plan: 


 

	 	(a)	If the interest credit rate (or an equivalent amount) under the Plan is a variable rate, then the rate of interest used to determine a Participant’s Cash Balance
Accrued Benefit under the Plan shall be equal to the average of the rates of interest used under the Plan during the 5-year period ending on the termination date; and 


 

	 	(b)	The interest rate and mortality table used to determine the amount of any Cash Balance Accrued Benefit under the Plan payable in the form of an annuity at normal
retirement age shall be the rate and table specified under the Plan for such purpose as of the termination date, except that if the interest rate is a variable rate, the interest rate shall be determined under the rules of subsection (a) above.



  
 23 









 ARTICLE IV 
 ACCRUED BENEFIT 
  

	4.1	Accrued Benefit. A Participant’s Accrued Benefit is equal to the largest of the benefits described in Sections 4.2, 4.3, or 4.4. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein, in no event will the benefit payable to a Participant be less than the following: 

  

	 	(a)	The Accrued Benefit of a Participant who was a Participant in the Plan on March 31, 1997, shall not be less than the benefit accrued by such Participant under the
Plan on March 31, 1997. 

  

	 	(b)	The Accrued Benefit of a Grossmont Participant shall not be less than the benefit accrued by such Grossmont Participant under the Grossmont Plan on December 31,
1997. 

  

	 	(c)	The Accrued Benefit of a Sumitomo Participant shall not be less than the benefit accrued by such Sumitomo Participant under the terms of the Sumitomo Plan (as in effect
on September 30, 1998) with benefit accruals based on the earlier of the Participant’s Termination of Employment or December 31, 1999. 

  

	 	(d)	The Accrued Benefit of a Commerce Participant shall not be less than the benefit accrued by such Commerce Participant calculated as of December 31, 1998 under the
terms of the Commerce Plan. 

  

	 	(e)	Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.2(f), the account balance of a Participant who was a Participant in the Plan on December 31, 2002, and which is
used to calculate the Cash Balance Account shall never be smaller than the account balance as of December 31, 2002. If greater than the foregoing, the Accrued Benefit calculated under Section 2.3 of Appendix III for a Participant who is a
Great Grandfather Participant (as defined in Section 4.4) shall never be less than the Accrued Benefit determined under that Section for the Participant on December 31, 2002. 


 

	4.2	Cash Balance Accrued Benefit. A Participant’s cash balance accrued benefit is a monthly benefit in the form of a Single Life Annuity commencing on his or her
Normal Retirement Date, or the current date, if later, which is the Actuarial Equivalent of the balance in the Participant’s Cash Balance . Account as of his or her Normal Retirement Date, or the current date, if later. For purposes of
determining a Participant’s cash balance accrued benefit: 

  

	 	(a)	The balance in the Participant’s Cash Balance Account as of the Participant’s Normal Retirement Date, if the Participant has not yet reached that date, will
be determined by projecting the balance in the Participant’s Cash Balance Account at the determination date to the Participant’s Normal Retirement Date. The projection will be accomplished by applying the interest credits specified in
Section 3.3 from the determination date (the date on which benefits are being determined) to the Participant’s benefit commencement date (the date on which benefits commence) and by applying the interest credit in Section 3.3 during
the year of benefit commencement for each year from the benefit commencement date to the Participant’s Normal Retirement Date. 

  

	 	(b)	 The monthly benefit in the form of a Single Life Annuity will be determined by using the assumptions for Actuarial Equivalence described in
Section 1.4(a) and the age 



  
 24 










	 	 
of the Participant as of his or her Normal Retirement Date, or the current date, if later. 


  

	4.3	Minimum Accrued Benefit. A Participant’s minimum accrued benefit is the monthly benefit accrued by such Participant under the Plan on March 31, 1997, as
defined in Section 2.2 of Appendix Ill.

age and has completed 10 Years of Vesting Service is eligible to receive a grandfathered minimum accrued benefit described in Section 2.3 of Appendix III. An Active Participant who satisfies the requirements of the first sentence of this
Section 4.4 on December 31, 2002, (a “Great Grandfather Participant”) shall continue effective January 1, 2003, to accrue all benefits which were available to such Great Grandfather Participant under this Plan as of
December 31, 2002, and the provisions of Section 3.2(f) shall not apply to such Great Grandfather Participant. 

  

	4.5	Accrued Benefit Attributable to the Old Plan Account. The Accrued Benefit Attributable to the Old Plan Account as of the Participant’s Normal Retirement Date, or
current date if later, will be equal to the Participant’s Old Plan Account expressed as a monthly benefit under a Single Life Annuity commencing on his or her Normal Retirement Date, or current date if later, using Actuarial Equivalence as
provided in Section 1.4(a). 

 The Accrued Benefit Attributable to the Old Plan Account as of the
Participant’s Early Retirement Date will be equal to the monthly benefit determined under the foregoing paragraph and, reduced by 5/9 of 1 % for each of the first 60 months by which the Early Retirement Date precedes his or her Normal
Retirement Date and by 5/18 of 1 % for each of the next 60 such months. 
  

	4.6	Accrued Benefit Attributable to Company Contributions. The Accrued Benefit Attributable to Company Contributions will be equal to the excess, if any, of the Accrued
Benefit over the Accrued Benefit Attributable to the Old Plan Account. 

  

	4.7	Old Plan Account. A Participant’s Old Plan Account is his or her individual account balance under this Plan which resulted from the transfer of funds from a
terminated plan formerly sponsored by the Company. The Old Plan Account shall include interest from the transfer date to the earlier of the Participant’s Retirement Date or the date on which the Participant’s Old Plan Account is otherwise
payable pursuant to the provisions of this Plan (the determination date) as follows: The rate of interest shall be compounded annually. For Plan Years beginning before January 1, 1988 and continuing to the determination date, the interest rate
shall be 5%, For each Plan Year beginning on or after January 1, 1988 and continuing to the determination date, the interest rate shall be 120% of the federal mid-term rate (as defined in Code Section 1274) in effect on the first day of
such Plan Year. For purposes of determining the Accrued Benefit Attributable to the Old Plan Account, the Old Plan Account shall also include interest, compounded annually, at the Actuarial Equivalent interest rate (Section 1.4(a)) applicable to the
determination date year, for each Plan Year from the determination date to the Participant’s Normal Retirement Date. In no event can a Participant’s Old Plan Account be withdrawn prior to Termination of Employment, death or retirement.
This section is effective January 1, 1995.

definition of “Grandfather Participant” in 4.8(b) on that date shall continue to accrue all benefits available to such Grandfather Participant under this Plan as of December 31, 2002, except that Earnings Credits for the Grandfather
Participant’s Cash Balance Account after December 31, 2002, shall accrue and be determined by reference to Section 3.2(g) and not Section 3.2(a). 


 

	 	(b)	“Grandfather Participant” shall mean for purposes of Section 4.8(a) an Active Participant on December 31, 2002, who: 


 

	 	(1)	had attained at least age fifty-five (55), and

previously elected Form of Retirement Income at any time during his or her Election Period. 


  
 28 









 A Participant’s Election Period is the 90 day period ending on the date his or her
Retirement Income is to begin. The Committee will make Election Information available to a Participant within a reasonable period of time prior to the date Retirement Income is to begin. In no event will a Participant’s Election Period end
prior to the 30th day next following the day on which Election Information and the information provided in accordance with the first paragraph of this Section 5.6 are first made available to him. 

For purposes of this Section, Election Information will include: 

 

	 	(a)	a written explanation of each form of Retirement Income and the relative financial effect of the payment of Monthly Retirement Income in that form;


  

	 	(b)	a statement of the right to consider the benefit election for at least 30 days; and 


 

	 	(c)	a notification that Retirement Income payments will be made in the 50% Spouse Option form (or the Life Annuity Form if the Participant is not married) unless he or she
elects otherwise during the Election Period and his or her spouse consents to such election. 

 The Participant
must elect a form of payment in writing. An election of a form of payment other than a Spouse Option will not be valid without the written consent of the Participant’s spouse. The spouse’s consent must acknowledge the effect of the
election and must be witnessed by a plan representative or notary public. The Participant may change his or her election at any time, and any number of times, during the 90 day period ending on the date his or her Retirement Income is to begin. The
Participant may not change the form of payment without further spousal consent unless the spouse expressly permits such changes. The requirement for spouse’s consent will be waived if the participant establishes to the satisfaction of the
Committee that such consent cannot be obtained because there is no spouse, the spouse cannot be located or because of such other circumstances as the Secretary of the Treasury may by regulations prescribe. 

The election by the Participant and the consent of the spouse must be obtained no more than 90 days prior to the annuity starting date (as
defined in the previous paragraph). 
 If the spouse of a Participant who has elected a Spouse Option dies before Retirement
Income payments begin, the Retirement Income will be paid to the Participant in the form of the Single Life Annuity. 
 For any
Election Period and any distribution notice issued or Election Information relative thereto provided under this Section or any other Plan Section in Plan Years beginning after December 31, 2006, any reference to a 90-day maximum notice or
election period shall be changed to 180 days. Notices and Election Information given to Participants pursuant to Code §41i(a)(ll) in Plan Years beginning after December 31, 2006, shall include a description of how much larger benefits will
be if the commencement of distributions is deferred. Notices to Participants shall include the relative values of the various optional forms of benefit, if any, under the Plan as provided in Treas. Reg. §1.417(a)-3. This provision is effective
for qualified pre-retirement survivor annuity explanations first provided on or after July 1, 2004; for qualified joint and survivor annuity explanations with respect to any distribution with a Retirement Date on or after February 1, 2006;
and on or after October 2, 2004, with respect to any optional form of benefit subject to the requirements of Code §417(e)(3), if the actuarial present value of that optional form is less than the actuarial present value as determined under
Code §417(e)(3).

Actuarial Equivalent value of such benefit to the Participant or Beneficiary in a lump sum. If a lump sum payment is made, no other benefit under the Plan will be due to the Participant or Beneficiary. However, if the Participant receives less than
the Actuarial Equivalent of his or her full Accrued Benefit, such Accrued Benefit and related service shall be reinstated if the Participant repays the distributed lump sum with interest at one hundred and twenty percent (120%) of the Federal
midterm rate as in effect for the first month of the Plan Year. Such repayment must be made prior to the earlier of (1) the fifth anniversary of the Participant’s reemployment date, or (2) the date the Participant incurs a five-year

 If the Actuarial Equivalent value of the Participant’s benefit at the time of a distribution exceeds $5,000 (or $3,500, whichever is applicable), then such value at any subsequent time will be deemed
to exceed $5,000 (or $3,500, whichever is applicable). For any distribution subject to this Section 5.8 commencing on or after March 28, 2005, which is greater than $1,000, if the Participant does not elect to have the distribution paid in
a direct rollover to an “eligible retirement plan” (as defined in Section 5.9(b)(2)) specified by the Participant or to receive the distribution directly in a lump sum cash payment, then the Committee shall cause the Plan to pay the
distribution in a direct rollover to an individual retirement plan designated by the Committee. 
  

	5.9	Eligible Rollover Distribution. 

  

	 	(a)	This Section 5.9 applies to distributions made on or after January 1, 1993. Notwithstanding any provision of the plan to the contrary that would otherwise
limit a distributee’s election under this Section 5.9, a distributee may elect, at the time and in the manner prescribed by the Committee, to have any portion of an eligible rollover distribution paid directly to an eligible retirement

(including a surviving Eligible Spouse) shall include, in addition to the plans and programs mentioned in the first sentence of the previous paragraph, any tax-deferred annuity program under Code Section 403(b) and any deferred compensation

the Plan Year ending within the calendar year in which such owner attains age 66 or any subsequent Plan Year. Once a Participant is described in this subparagraph, distributions will continue to such Participant even if such Participant ceases to
own more than 5% of the Company in a subsequent year. Effective January 1, 1999, a Participant is treated as a 5% owner if the Participant is a “5 percent owner” (as defined in Code Section 416(i)(1)(B)(i)) at any time during the
calendar year in which the Participant attains age 70-112. 

  

	 	(6)	If a Participant receives payments under this paragraph (c), such payments will be determined as if the Participant’s Late Retirement Date were the date by which
Retirement Income payments must be made under this paragraph (c). If the Participant continues to earn additional Accrued Benefits after this date, his or her Monthly Retirement Income will be redetermined on each January 1 following the date
benefit payments commence. This re-determined benefit will be payable under the Form of Retirement Income elected as of the Late Retirement Date in accordance with Section 5.7. 


  
 36 










	 	(7)	Effective January 1, 1999, for a Participant whose continued active employment results in the deferral of Retirement Income to a date later than April I following
the calendar year the Participant attains age 70-112 (the “Base Date”), the Accrued Benefit for such a Participant shall be Actuarially adjusted to reflect the deferral period from the Base Date to the date the Participant commences
payment of Retirement Income. The Actuarial adjustment shall be based on the factors stated in Section IA(d). 

  

	5.12	Delay of Payment Due to Administrative Error. 

  

	 	(a)	Delay in Commencing Annuity Payments. In the event Retirement Income payments to a Participant are delayed for more than 60 days beyond his or her Retirement Date due
to an administrative error, or such other event designated by the Committee, the affected Participant shall be entitled to Retirement Income payments retroactive to his or her Retirement Date, plus interest at a rate of 6% per year on the
portion of the delayed payment which is more than 60 days late. 

  

	 	(b)	Delay in Payment of Lump-Sum. Effective on and after November 1, 1998, the provisions of this paragraph shall apply if a Participant or Beneficiary becomes
entitled to receive a lump-sum Retirement Income payment pursuant to Section 5.7 or 5.8, and if the payment of such lump-sum is delayed due to an administrative error for more than 60 days. In such a case, if the Participant or Beneficiary has
a right to receive a lump-sum based on the balance of his or her Cash Balance Account (or other account balance under the Plan which is expressed as a single sum), then the amount payable on the delayed date shall be the balance of such account
after crediting of interest applicable to the account through the end of month immediately preceding the delayed payment date. However, if the Participant or Beneficiary has a right to receive a lump-sum based on the Actuarial present value of an
Accrued Benefit expressed in the form of an annuity, the lump-sum which shall be payable to the Participant or Beneficiary as soon as administratively practical after the administrative error has been detected shall be an amount that is equal to the
greater of: 

  

	 	(1)	the sum of: (A) the Actuarial present value of the Accrued Benefit based on the age, mortality and interest rate factors in effect as of the 60th day following the
earliest date on which the benefit could have been paid in accordance with the terms of the Plan, plus (B) interest at 6% per annum for the whole and/or partial years from the said 60th day to the payment date; or 


 

	 	(2)	a lump-sum based on the Accrued Benefit on the date of Termination (or death, if applicable), but with the Actuarial present value based on the age, mortality and
interest rate factors in effect as of the actual payment date. 

  

	5.13	Suspension of Benefits for Active Participants at Normal Retirement Date. 

  


	 	(a)	 Permissible Suspension. For a Participant who has not previously commenced receiving monthly benefits and who continues in active service as an
Employee after attaining his or her Normal Retirement Date, the right to receive payment of benefits shall be suspended so long as such employment continues, but not later than any required beginning date applicable to the Participant under
Section 5.11(c), at which time the benefit shall commence. For any period of suspension between the Normal Retirement Date and April 1 following the year the Participant attains age 70-112 there shall be no Actuarial adjustment to the
Participant’s 



  
 37 










	 	 
benefit attributable to the suspension of the benefit. For any period of suspension that continues past such date, the terms of Section 5.11 (c )(7) shall apply.



 Any such suspension shall not apply to a Participant who has attained age 65 and performs no more than 40
Hours of Service per month. The benefit for such a Participant shall commence on the later of the Normal Retirement Date or the first day of the month following the date the Participant performs 40 or fewer Hours of Service per month. 

 

	 	(b)	Notice of Suspension of Benefits. A Participant whose benefit payment rights are suspended as described in the previous paragraph shall be notified in writing of such
suspension as soon as administratively practical following the date as of which such payments are withheld. Such notice shall, among other things, advise the Participant of his or her right to request a review of the suspension, in accordance with
the procedures in Section 12.6. 

  

	 	(c)	Participant’s Duty to Notify Plan Administrator. Each such Participant shall have the duty to notify the Plan Administrator if and when the Participant modifies
his or her regular work schedule to less than 40 Hours of Service per month, in which case the suspension shall cease, subject to verification by the Committee. 


 

	 	(d)	Benefits Paid in Error May Offset Future Benefits. In the event that benefits are mistakenly paid to a Participant during a period for which benefit payments should
have been suspended under this Section, the amount mistakenly paid may be offset against benefits which become properly payable in the future, provided that such offset shall not exceed 25 percent of the benefit payable in each subsequent month.


  

	5.14	Benefits Under a Qualified Domestic Relations Order (QDRO). A domestic relations order, if (but only if) it is determined by the Committee (or the Committee’s
designated QDRO administrator) to be a Qualified Domestic Relations Order, may provide, as of a stated date (or upon the occurrence of a stated event pertaining to the Participant), either: 


 

	 	(a)	the division of a Participant’s Accrued Benefit between the Participant and a named alternate payee, in portions or amounts stated in the QDRO;


  

	 	(b)	the distribution to a named alternate payee of a stated portion (or dollar amount) of the Participant’s benefit, in an amount not greater than the value of the
Participant’s Accrued Benefit that is vested at such time; or 

  

	 	(c)	a right for a named alternate payee to be treated as Beneficiary for all or a stated portion of a Participant’s death benefit. 


Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, a QDRO may not (1) require a form of benefit distribution not provided under
the terms of this Plan, (2) cause any unvested benefit to be vested, (3) cause a Participant’s Accrued Benefit to have a value greater than the value determined under the terms of this Plan, (4) provide for a distribution to
commence from an alternate payee’s benefit at a time later than the latest date or age as of which a benefit distribution may commence under this Plan, or (5) otherwise state terms which are inconsistent with the terms of this Plan.

 The Committee (or QDRO administrator) shall determine whether a domestic relations order meets the requirements of this
Section within a reasonable period after it is received by the Committee (or QDRO administrator). The Committee (or QDRO administrator) shall notify the Participant and any alternate payee that a domestic relations order has been received. Any
amounts due the alternate payee under the domestic relations 

  
 38 









 
order which, in its absence, would be paid to the Participant or a beneficiary, shall be held during the period while the domestic relations order’s qualified status is being determined. If
a domestic relations order is not affirmatively determined to be a QDRO, then such restriction shall lapse on the earlier of the (a) the date the order is determined not to be a QDRO and appeal rights under Section 12.6(c) or
(d) (whichever is applicable) have expired or been exhausted, or (b) 18 months after such restriction is imposed. 
  

	5.15	Death or Disability While Performing Qualified Military Service. The Plan treats a Participant who, on or after January 1, 2007, dies or becomes disabled (as
defined under the terms of the Plan) while performing qualified military service (as defined in Code §414(u)) with respect to the Employer as if the Participant had resumed employment in accordance with the Participant’s re-employment
rights under USERRA, on the day preceding death or disability (as the case may be) and terminated employment on the actual date of death or disability. 

  

	5.16	Non-spouse Beneficiary Rollover. For distributions first commencing after December 31, 2009, a non-spouse beneficiary who is a “designated beneficiary”
under Code §401(a)(9)(E) and the regulations thereunder may roll over by a direct trustee-to-trustee transfer (“direct rollover”), all or any portion of his or her distribution to an Individual Retirement Account (IRA) the beneficiary
establishes for purposes of receiving the distribution, In order to be able to roll over the distribution, the distribution must otherwise satisfy the definition of an “eligible rollover distribution” under Code §401(a)(31) and the
provisions of Section 5.9 and this Section. 

  

	 	(a)	If a non-spouse beneficiary receives a distribution from the Plan, the distribution will not be eligible for a 60-day (non-direct) rollover. 


 

	 	(b)	If the Participant’s named beneficiary is a trust, the Plan may make a direct rollover to an IRA on behalf of the trust, provided the trust satisfies the
requirements to be a designated beneficiary within the meaning of Code §401(a)(9)(E). 

  

	 	(c)	A non-spouse beneficiary may not roll over an amount that is a required minimum distribution, as determined under applicable Regulations and other guidance. If the
Participant dies before his or her required beginning date and the non-spouse beneficiary rolls over to an IRA the maximum amount eligible for rollover, the beneficiary may elect to use either the five-year rule or the life expectancy rule, pursuant
to Treas. Reg. §1.40I(a)(9)-3, Q&A-4(c), in determining the required minimum distributions from the IRA that receives the non-spouse beneficiary’s distribution.

	 	(d)	Effective December 12, 1994, a Participant will receive vesting credit for any and all years and partial years of Qualified Military Service.

	 Less than 3
	  	 	0	%

	  	 	100	% 

  

	6.2	Termination Benefit. 

  

	 	(a)	A Terminated Vested Participant will have the option of: 

  

	 	(1)	withdrawing his or her Old Plan Account, in which event the Participant would be entitled to his or her vested Accrued Benefit Attributable to Company Contributions
commencing on his or her Normal or Early Retirement Date, or 


  
 40 










	 	(2)	leaving his or her Old Plan Account in the Plan, in which event the Participant would be entitled to his or her vested Accrued Benefit commencing on his or her Normal
or Early Retirement Date. 

  

	 	(b)	The monthly amount of Retirement Income payable to a Terminated Vested Participant who commences his or her benefit on the Normal Retirement Date will be equal to the
vested Accrued Benefit (or, if the Old Plan Account has been withdrawn, the vested Accrued Benefit Attributable to Company Contributions) earned to the date of Termination of Employment. This Retirement Income will be subject to adjustment depending
on the Form of Retirement Income elected in accordance with Section 5.7. 

  

	 	(c)	The monthly amount of Retirement Income payable to a Terminated Vested Participant who commences his or her benefit on an Early Retirement Date is equal to the Early
Retirement Income described in Section 5.3. 

  

	 	(d)	Except as provided in Section 5.8, the Old Plan Account of a Participant will not be distributed pursuant to this Section unless the Participant elects such
distribution and the Eligible Spouse of the Participant consents to the distribution not more than 90 days prior to the date of such distribution. The Eligible Spouse’s consent must acknowledge the effect of the election and must be witnessed
by a plan representative or notary public. The requirement for consent of the Eligible Spouse will be waived if the Participant establishes to the satisfaction of the Committee that such consent cannot be obtained because there is no Eligible
Spouse, the Eligible Spouse cannot be located or because of such other circumstances as the Secretary of the Treasury may by regulations prescribe. 

  

	6.3	Re-employment After Termination of Employment. 

  

	 	(a)	If a Terminated Vested Participant is subsequently reinstated as an Active Participant, his or her Retirement Income subsequent to his or her eventual Termination of
Employment following the second period of employment will be based on the Participant’s Accrued Benefit under the provisions of the Plan in effect as of such subsequent Termination of Employment, except that it may not be less than the
Participant’s Accrued Benefit as of the date of any prior Termination of Employment. 

  

	 	(b)	If a Participant’s employment with the Company terminates prior to the Participant’s becoming partially or fully vested in his or her Accrued Benefit, the
Participant will be deemed to have received a distribution of his or her entire vested interest under the Plan. The Participant’s unvested Accrued Benefit will be forfeited on the date of his or her Termination of Employment. A Participant
whose benefit has been so forfeited will be deemed “cashed out” from the Plan. If the former Participant is re-employed before incurring five consecutive Breaks in Service and after completing a Year of Vesting Service, his or her Cash
Balance Account and Accrued Benefit will be restored in accordance with Sections 3.5(a) and 4.1 respectively. 

  

	6.4	Termination Benefits and Re-employment for Commerce Participants. 

  

	 	(a)	 A Commerce Participant may elect to receive the portion of his or her Accrued Benefit earned prior to January 1, 1999 on the first day of any
month coincident with or following his or her Termination of Employment (“Termination Benefit”). The Termination Benefit is the Actuarial Equivalent of the Accrued Benefit earned




  
 41 










	 	 
prior to January 1, 1999. For early retirement reduction, Actuarial Equivalent shall be calculated as described in Section 5.3(e). For benefit form adjustment, Actuarial Equivalent
shall be calculated as described in Sections 5.7(g)(2) and 5.7(g)(3). Upon meeting the requirements of Section 1.17(d), a Commerce Participant may receive the remainder of his or her Accrued Benefit earned on or after January 1, 1999.



  

	 	(b)	In the event a vested Commerce Participant who terminated after December 31, 1998 and before his or her Early Retirement Date, received a distribution upon
Termination of Employment, and becomes re-employed, which means he or she has at least 40 Hours of Service with the Employer during any calendar month, his or her Termination Benefit or Retirement Income shall be determined and paid as described
below: 

  

	 	(1)	In the event a Commerce Participant has commenced annuity payments and is subsequently re-employed, such annuity payments shall continue upon reemployment;


  

	 	(2)	In the event a Commerce Participant received a lump sum distribution under Section 5.7(g)(3) upon Termination of Employment and becomes re-employed prior to
incurring five consecutive one-year Breaks-In-Service, he or she may repay such benefit with interest, at 120% of the Federal mid-term rate as in effect for the first month of the Plan Year, to the Plan within five years after reemployment.


 The Accrued Benefit of a Commerce Participant who makes such repayment shall be determined as if no prior
distribution occurred. 
  

	 	(3)	The additional benefit earned during re-employment may be paid in any form elected by the Participant pursuant to Sections 5.7(a) to (d). 


 

	6.5	Special Termination Benefit for Sumitomo Participants. This Section applies to a Sumitomo Participant who (a) had a Termination of Employment for any reason

her Termination of Employment shall be increased by 6.5%. 


  
 42 









 ARTICLE VII 
 DISABILITY BENEFITS 
  

	7.1	Determination of Disability. A Participant has a “total and permanent disability” if, while employed by the Company, the Participant ceases to perform the
duties assigned to him or her by the Company due to a disability that meets the following eligibility criteria: 

  

	 	(a)	the Participant is entitled to disability retirement income payments under Title II of the Federal Social Security Act; provided, however, that this criterion in this
clause “(a)” shall cease to be applicable to the definition of “total and permanent disability” on or after March 1, 2002, and 

  

	 	(b)	the Participant is eligible for disability benefits under the Company’s long term disability plan. 


It will be the responsibility of the Participant to submit proof of disability, as described in clause (a) and (b) above,
satisfactory to the Committee. 
  

	7.2	Eligibility for Disability Benefits. A Disabled Participant or former Disabled Participant may retire on a Disability Retirement Date if the Participant has completed
five Years of Vesting Service as of the date first disabled under Section 7.1. 

  

	7.3	Disability Retirement Date. If the Participant’s total and permanent disability continues until the Participant’s Normal Retirement Date, the
Participant’s Disability Retirement Date shall be the Normal Retirement Date (or the first day of the month following Termination of Service, if later). If a Disabled Participant’s total and permanent disability ends before the Normal
Retirement Date, the Participant may retire on an Early or Normal Retirement Date, whichever applies, and such date will be his or her Disability Retirement Date. 


 

	7.4	Disability Retirement Income. A Disabled Participant will be entitled to a monthly Disability Retirement Income beginning on his or her Disability Retirement Date. The
amount will be equal to the retirement income from Section 5.2,5.3, or 5.4 on the Disability Retirement Date. While a Participant’s total and permanent disability continues, until the earliest of the Participant’s attaining his or her
Normal Retirement Date, death, or the Participant’s Disability Retirement Date, Earnings will be credited (in accordance with Section 3.2, as though the Participant were continuing to accrue 1,000 or more Hours of Service per year) in the
amount equal to Earnings in the most recent year prior to the year of initial disability in which 1,000 Hours of Service were worked. Disability Retirement Income will be subject to adjustment depending on the Form of Retirement Income elected in
accordance with Section 5.7. 


  
 43

	8.1	Death after Commencement of Benefits. Death Benefits for a Retired Participant will be determined in accordance with the provisions of the applicable Form of Retirement
Income elected. 

  

	8.2	Death Prior to Commencement of Benefits. This Section 8.2 shall be effective April 1, 1997, except as otherwise stated below. 


 

	 	(a)	If a Participant, whose vested Accrued Benefit is calculated under Section 4.2, dies before his or her Retirement Date, the Participant’s Eligible Spouse, if
any, will receive a benefit commencing on the first day of the month following the Participant’s death. The Eligible Spouse may elect to defer payment until the first day of any month on or before the Participant’s Normal Retirement Date.
The Eligible Spouse will receive a monthly benefit equal to the Actuarial Equivalent amount, as of the date the benefit commences, of the Participant’s Cash Balance Account, based upon the Eligible Spouse’s age as of the date the benefit
commences. This benefit will continue to the death of the Eligible Spouse. Instead of receiving the benefit in the form of a Life Annuity, the Eligible Spouse may elect to receive the benefit in the Lump Sum Payment Option, described in
Section 5.7(c), If the Participant does not have an Eligible Spouse who survives him or her, the Cash Balance Account as of the Participant’s death will be paid on the first of the month following death to the Participant’s estate.


 For a Participant who is survived by an Eligible Spouse, the amount of the monthly benefit payable to the
Eligible Spouse, as described in this subsection (a) (the “Cash Balance Annuity”), shall in no event be less than any of the following minimum benefits (assuming a benefit commencement date that is the same as the actual benefit
commencement date under the prior paragraph) to the extent that any of the following minimum benefit rules is applicable to the deceased Participant: 
  

	 	(1)	For Participant with a Minimum Accrued Benefit as defined in Section 4.3 or a Grandfathered Minimum Accrued Benefit as defined in Section 4.4, the Cash
Balance Annuity shall not be less than the Minimum Death Benefit that would be payable to the Eligible Spouse as described in Article 4 of Appendix ill. 

  

	 	(2)	Effective January 1, 1998, for a Grossmont Participant who has a minimum benefit described in Section 4.1 (b), the Cash Balance Annuity shall not be less than
the monthly amount that would be payable as a 50% pre-retirement survivor annuity to the Eligible Spouse with respect to that minimum benefit, in accordance with the actuarial factors and other terms of the Grossmont Plan that were in effect on
December 31, 1997. 

  

	 	(3)	Effective October 1, 1998, for a Sumitomo Participant who has a minimum benefit described in Section 4. 1 (c), the Cash Balance Annuity shall not be less than
the monthly amount that would be payable as a 50% pre-retirement survivor annuity to his or her Eligible Spouse with respect to that minimum benefit, in accordance with the actuarial factors and other terms of the Sumitomo Plan that were in effect
on September 30, 1998. 

  

	 	(4)	 Effective January 1, 1999, for a Commerce Participant who has a minimum benefit described in Section 4. 1 (d), the Cash Balance Annuity shall
not be 



  
 44 










	 	 
less than the monthly amount that would be payable as a 50% pre-retirement survivor annuity to the Eligible Spouse with respect to that minimum benefit, in accordance with the actuarial factors
and other terms of the Commerce Plan that were in effect on December 31, 1998. 


  

	 	(b)	If a Participant, whose vested Accrued Benefit is calculated under Plan provisions in effect prior to April 1, 1997, dies before his or her Retirement Date, the
Participant’s Eligible Spouse, if any, will receive a death benefit in accordance with the prior provisions. 

  

	8.3	Effect of Old Plan Account. The Eligible Spouse of a Participant who has an Old Plan Account at death may elect to receive it in a lump sum immediately following death.
If the Eligible Spouse elects to receive monthly payments in addition to this lump sum in accordance with Section 8.2(a), the monthly amount payable will equal the monthly amount before consideration of the Old Plan Account reduced by the
Accrued Benefit Attributable to the Old Plan Account, as described in Section 4.5. For Participants who die with 10 or more Years of Vesting Service, the Accrued Benefit Attributable to the Old Plan Account commencing prior to the first of the
month following what would have been the Participant’s earliest Early Retirement Date is the Actuarial Equivalent of the Accrued Benefit Attributable to the Old Plan Account at that earliest Early Retirement Date. 


 

	8.4	Return of Old Plan Account. Upon the death of the Participant or, if later, the death of the Eligible Spouse entitled to payments under Section 8.1 or 8.2, the
Participant’s remaining Old Plan Account, if any, will be paid to the Participant’s Beneficiary. For purposes of this Section 8.4, the Participant’s remaining Old Plan Account will be equal to the excess, if any, of:


  

	 	(a)	the Participant’s Old Plan Account as of his or her date of death or, if earlier, Retirement Date over 


 

	 	(b)	the sum of all amounts previously paid from the Trust Fund on such Participant’s behalf.

for each month by which benefits commence prior to the date of attaining age 62, as follows. First, the limit at age 62 (the “Age 62 Limit”) shall be determined pursuant to paragraph (1) or (2) above (whichever is applicable to
the Participant). Second, the Age 62 Limit shall be reduced to the lesser of: 

  

	 	(A)	the product of (i) the Age 62 Limit, times (ii) the “implied early retirement factor” (as hereafter defined), or 


 

	 	(B)	the Actuarial Equivalent of the Age 62 Limit, based upon a 5% interest rate and the Applicable Mortality Table. 


The “implied early retirement factor” shall mean the ratio of: (1) the early retirement reduction factor determined under

	 	(f)	The provisions of this subsection (f) shall apply to Participants whose benefit commencement date occurs in any Plan Year beginning on or after January 1, 2002.


  

	 	(1)	If the Participant’s benefit commences prior to age 62, the Annual Benefit Dollar Limit shall be reduced to the lower of the following two amounts:


  

	 	(A)	the Actuarially Equivalent dollar amount that reflects the number of months by which the benefit commencement date precedes the date of attaining age 62, based on an
interest rate equal to five percent (5%); or 

  

	 	(B)	the dollar amount that reflects the applicable reduction factor that would apply under the terms of the Plan.

of early commencement. 

  

	 	(3)	 If the Participant’s benefit commencement date occurs after attaining age 65 under circumstances resulting in a right to receive an Actuarial
adjustment in the benefit payable under the Plan, the Annual Benefit Dollar Limit shall be 



  
 50 










	 	 
increased by means of an Actuarial adjustment based on either (A) an interest rate of 5% (applied solely to the period that is subject to Actuarial adjustment under the Plan), or
(B) the Actuarial adjustment factor that is applicable to the Participant’s benefit under the Plan, whichever produces the lower limitation amount. When calculating the adjustment of the Annual Benefit Dollar Limit according to this
paragraph, mortality shall be ignored. 


  

	 	(g)	If the Accrued Benefit of any Participant as of the close of the last Limitation Year beginning before January 1, 1987 exceeds the benefit limitations under Code
Section 415(b) then, for purposes of Code Section 415(b) (and 415(e) for periods prior to January 1, 2000) such Participant’s defined benefit dollar limitation under Code Section 415(b)(1) will be equal to his or her Accrued
Benefit, determined as of such date as if the Participant had separated from service on that date. For purposes of this paragraph, any changes in the terms and conditions of the Plan or cost of living adjustments occurring after May 5, 1986
will be disregarded. 

  

	 	(h)	All defined benefit plans of the Employer, terminated or not, will be considered as one plan for purposes of the limitations specified under this Section 11.2, and
all Affiliates and Subsidiaries of the Employer will be considered as one employing company. 

  

	 	(i)	The terms of this subsection shall not apply to any benefit which commences on or after January 1, 2000. In any case in which a person is a Participant in both a
defined benefit plan and a defined contribution plan maintained by any Affiliate or Subsidiary of the Company, the sum of (1) and (2) below for any Limitation Year may not exceed 1.0:

	 	(B)	The lesser of 125% of the Annual Benefit Dollar Limit and 140% of the amount described in Section 11.2(b)(2). 


If the Employee was a participant in one or more defined benefit plans maintained by any Affiliate or Subsidiary, which were in existence
on May 5, 1986, the amount calculated in (B) will not be less than 125% of the Employee’s accrued benefit under such defined benefit plans as of December 31, 1986, determined without regard to any change in the terms or
conditions of the plan made after May 5, 1986, and without regard to any cost of living adjustment occurring after May 5, 1986. The preceding sentence only applies If the defined benefit plans individually and in the aggregate satisfied
the requirement of Code Section 415 as in effect on December 31, 1986. 
  

	 	(2)	The defined contribution plan fraction for such Limitation Year is equal to the quotient of (A) divided by (B) below: 


 

	 	(A)	The aggregate of the annual additions to the Participant’s account under said defined contribution plan as of the close of such Limitation Year.


  

	 	(B)	 The lesser of 125% of the maximum annual additions to such account for all Years of Vesting Service with the Employer, or 1.4 multiplied by




  
 51 










	 	 
25% of the Participant’s Compensation for all Years of Vesting Service with the Employer. 


 If the Plan satisfied the applicable requirements of Code Section 415 as in effect for the last Plan Year beginning before January 1, 1987, an amount will be subtracted from the amount
calculated in (A) (but not reducing the amount in (A) to less than zero) so that the sum of the defined benefit fraction and defined contribution fraction computed under Code Section 415(e)(1) does not exceed 1.0 for such Plan Year
(determined as if the changes to Code Section 415 made by the Tax Reform Act of 1986 and any technical corrections to such act were in effect for such Plan Year). 
  

	 	(3)	If the sum of (1) and (2) exceeds 1.0, the Annual Benefit under this Plan will be limited to such amount as will reduce such sum to 1.0.


  

	 	(j)	Adjustments for Distribution Other than as a Straight Life Annuity.

Participant’s form of benefit computed using whichever of the following produces the greater annual amount: (i) the interest rate and mortality table or other tabular factor specified in the Plan for adjusting benefits in the same form;
and (ii) a 5% interest rate assumption and the Applicable Mortality Table. 

  

	 	(3)	A retirement benefit that is payable in any form other than a straight life annuity and that is subject to Code §417(e)(3) must be adjusted so as to equal the
actuarially equivalent straight life annuity, determined according to the Annuity Starting Date, as provided in the following rules. 

  

	 	(A)	If the Annuity Starting Date is in a Plan Year beginning after 2005, 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 using whichever of the following produces the greatest annual amount: (i) the interest rate and the mortality table or other tabular factor specified in the Plan for
adjusting benefits in the same form; (ii) a 5.5% interest rate assumption and the Applicable Mortality Table; and (iii) the applicable interest rate under Code §417(e)(3) and the Applicable Mortality Table, divided by 1.05.

shall be treated as one Participant. If the Accrued Benefit of a Participant is allocated to an alternate payee and one or more other persons, the amount under subparagraph (A) shall be allocated among those persons in the same manner as the
Accrued Benefit is allocated unless the qualified domestic relations order (as defined in Code §414(p)(1)(A)) provides otherwise. 

  

	 	(4)	Exception. This subsection shall not apply for any Plan Year if the terms of the Plan (as in effect for the period beginning on September 1, 2005 and ending with

contribution (in addition to any minimum required contribution under Code §430) equal to the amount sufficient to result in an adjusted funding target attainment percentage of 60%. 


 

	 	(3)	Temporary modification of limitation. In the case of the first Plan Year beginning during the period beginning on October 1 ,2008, and ending on September 30,
2009, the provisions of (e)(1) above shall be applied by substituting the Plan’s adjusted funding target attainment percentage for the preceding Plan Year for the percentage for the Plan Year, but only if the adjusted funding target attainment
percentage for the preceding year is greater. 

  

	 	(e)	Rules Relating to Contributions Required to Avoid Benefit Limitations. 

  

	 	(1)	Security may be provided: 

  

	 	(A)	In general. For purposes of this section, the adjusted funding target attainment percentage shall be determined by treating as an asset of the Plan any security
provided by the Employer in a form meeting the requirements of subparagraph (B). 

  

	 	(B)	Form of security. The security required under subparagraph (A) shall consist of: 


 

	 	(i)	a bond issued by a corporate surety company that is an acceptable surety for purposes of ERISA §412, 


 

	 	(ii)	cash or United States obligations that mature in three years or fewer, held in escrow by a bank or similar financial institution, or 


 

	 	(iii)	such other form of security as is satisfactory to the Secretary and the parties involved. 


 

	 	(C)	Enforcement. Any security provided under subparagraph (A) may be perfected and enforced at any time after the earlier of: 


 

	 	(i)	the date on which the Plan terminates; 

  

	 	(ii)	if there is a failure to make a payment of the minimum required contribution for any Plan Year beginning after the security is provided, the due date for the payment
under Code §430(j); or 


  
 62 










	 	(iii)	if the adjusted funding target attainment percentage is less than 60% for seven consecutive years, the valuation date for the last year in the period.


  

	 	(D)	Release of security. The security shall be released (and any amounts thereunder shall be refunded together with any interest accrued thereon) at such time as the
Secretary may prescribe in Regulations, including Regulations for partial releases of the security by reason of increases in the adjusted funding target attainment percentage. 


 

	 	(2)	Pre-funding balance or funding standard carryover balance may not be used. No pre-funding balance or funding standard carryover balance under Code §430(f) may be
used under subsection (b), (c), or (e) to satisfy any payment an Employer may make under any such subsection to avoid or terminate the application of any limitation under such subsection. 


 

	 	(3)	Deemed reduction of funding balances: 

  

	 	(A)	In general. Subject to subparagraph (B), in any case in which a benefit limitation under subsection (b), (c), (d), or (e) would (but for this subparagraph and
determined without regard to subsection (b)(2), (c)(2), or (e)(2)) apply to the Plan for the Plan Year, the Employer shall be treated for purposes of this Section 19.5 as having made an election under Code §430(f) to reduce the pre-funding
balance or funding standard carryover balance by the amount necessary for the benefit limitation not to apply to the Plan for the Plan Year. 

  

	 	(B)	Exception for insufficient funding balances. Subparagraph (A) shall not apply with respect to a benefit limitation for any Plan Year if the application of
subparagraph (A) would not result in the benefit limitation not applying for such Plan Year. 

  

	 	(f)	Presumed Underfunding for Purposes of Benefit Limitations. 

  

	 	(1)	Presumption of continued underfunding. In any case in which a benefit limitation under subsection (b), (c), (d), or (e) has been applied to a Plan with respect to
the Plan Year preceding the current Plan Year, the adjusted funding target attainment percentage of the Plan for the current Plan Year shall be presumed to be equal to the adjusted funding target attainment percentage of the Plan for the preceding
Plan Year until the enrolled actuary of the Plan certifies the actual adjusted funding target attainment percentage of the Plan for the current Plan Year. 

  


	 	(2)	Presumption of underfunding after 10th month. In any case in which no certification of the adjusted funding target attainment percentage for the current Plan Year is
made with respect to the Plan before the first day of the 10th month of such year, for purposes of subsections (b), (c), (d), and (e), such first day shall be deemed, for purposes of such subsection, to be the valuation date of the Plan for the
current Plan Year and the Plan’s adjusted funding target attainment percentage shall be conclusively presumed to be less than 60% as of the first day. 


 

	 	(3)	Presumption of underfunding after 4th month for nearly underfunded plans. In any case in which: 


  
 63 










	 	(A)	a benefit limitation under subsection (b), (c), (d), or (e) did not apply to a Plan with respect to the Plan Year preceding the current Plan Year, but the adjusted
funding target attainment percentage of the Plan for the preceding Plan Year was not more than 10 percentage points greater than the percentage that would have caused the subsection to apply to the Plan with respect to the preceding Plan Year, and


  

	 	(B)	as of the first day of the 4th month of the current Plan Year, the enrolled actuary of the Plan has not certified the actual adjusted funding target attainment
percentage of the Plan for the current Plan Year, until the enrolled actuary so certifies, the first day shall be deemed, for purposes of the subsection, to be the valuation date of the Plan for the current Plan Year and the adjusted funding target
attainment percentage of the Plan as of such first day shall, for purposes of the subsection, be presumed to be equal to 10 percentage points less than the adjusted funding target attainment percentage of the Plan for the preceding Plan Year.


  

	 	(g)	Treatment of Plan as of Close of Prohibited or Cessation Period. Payments and accruals will resume effective as of the day following the close of the period for which
any limitation of payment or accrual of benefits under subsection (d) or (e) applies. Nothing in this subsection shall be construed as affecting the Plan’s treatment of benefits that would have been paid or accrued but for this
Section 19.5. 

  

	 	(h)	Definitions. 

  

	 	(1)	“Funding target attainment percentage” shall have the same meaning given that term by Code §430(d)(2), except as otherwise provided herein. However, in
the case of Plan Years beginning in 2008, the funding target attainment percentage for the preceding Plan Year may be determined using such methods of estimation as the Secretary may provide. 


 

	 	(2)	“Adjusted funding target attainment percentage” means the funding target attainment percentage that is determined under paragraph (1) by increasing each
of the amounts under subparagraphs (A) and (B) of Code §430(d)(2) by the aggregate amount of purchases of annuities for employees other than Highly Compensated Employees that were made by the Plan during the preceding two Plan Years.


  

	 	(3)	Application to plans that are fully funded without regard to reductions for funding balances. 


 

	 	(A)	In general. If in any Plan Year the funding target attainment percentage is 100% or more (determined and without regard to the reduction in the value of assets under
Code §430(f)(4)), the funding target attainment percentage for purposes of paragraphs (1) and (2) shall be determined without regard to the reduction. 


 

	 	(B)	Transition rule. Subparagraph (A) shall be applied to Plan Years beginning after 2007 and before 2011 by substituting for 100% the applicable percentage determined
in accordance with the following table: 


  
 64 










					
	In the case of Plan Year	  	The applicable percentage is:	 
	 2008
	  	 	92	% 
	 2009
	  	 	94	% 
	 2010
	  	 	96	% 

  

	 	(C)	Subparagraph (B) shall not apply with respect to any Plan Year beginning after 2008 unless the funding target attainment percentage (determined without regard to
the reduction in the value of assets under Code §430(f)(4)) of the Plan for each preceding Plan Year beginning after 2007 was not less than the applicable percentage with respect to such preceding Plan Year determined under subparagraph (B).

	12.1	Administration. 

  

	 	(a)	The Retirement Committee (“Committee”) will consist of three or more individuals who will be appointed by the Board of Directors of Zions. The Committee will
serve as Plan “administrator” (as that term is defined by ERISA). The Committee will have complete control of the administration of the Plan, subject to the provisions hereof, with all powers necessary to enable it to carry out its duties
properly in that respect. Not in limitation, but in amplification of the foregoing, it will have the power to interpret the Plan and to determine all questions that may arise hereunder, including all questions relating to the eligibility of
Employees to participate in the Plan and the amount of benefit to which any Participant or Beneficiary may become entitled. Its decisions upon all matters within the scope of its authority will be final. 


 

	 	(b)	The Committee will establish rules and procedures to be followed by Participants and Beneficiaries in filing applications for benefits, in furnishing and verifying
proofs necessary to determine age or marital status, and in any other matters required to administer the Plan.

of the Plan and the amount thereof. 

  

	 	(d)	The Committee will maintain accounts showing the fiscal transactions of the Plan, and will keep data required for the valuation of the assets and liabilities of the
Plan. The Committee will also prepare an annual report showing in reasonable detail the assets and liabilities of the Plan and giving a brief account of the operation of the Plan for each year. The Committee will make the annual report available to
each Participant as required by law. 

  

	 	(e)	The Committee will appoint an enrolled actuary to make actuarial valuations of the liabilities of the Plan, to recommend the amount of contributions to be made by the
Company and to perform such other services as the Committee will deem necessary or desirable in connection with the administration of the Plan. The Committee may also appoint such accountants, counsel, consultants and other persons the Committee
deems necessary or desirable in connection with the administration of the Plan. 

  

	 	(f)	The Committee will have the power to appoint or remove any Investment Manager or Managers and to manage (including the power to acquire and dispose of) a.”1yassets

by the Committee and upon all opinions given by any counsel selected or approved by it. 

  

	12.2	Records. All acts and determinations of the Committee and the Company regarding this Plan will be duly recorded and all such records, together with such other documents
as may be necessary for the administration of the Plan, will be preserved in the custody of the Committee (or a designee appointed by the Committee). 


  
 66 










	12.3	Payment of Expenses. All expenses that arise in connection with the administration of the Plan, including, but not limited to, the compensation of any enrolled actuary,
accountant, legal counsel, consultant or other person who will be employed by the Committee in connection with the administration thereof, may, to the extent that it is lawful to do so under ERISA, be paid from the assets of the Plan.


  

	12.4	Delegation of Authority. The administrative duties and responsibilities set forth in Section 12.1 may be delegated by the Committee in whatever manner and extent
it chooses to such person or persons as it selects. It will notify Zions and the Trustee of the authority conferred upon such person or persons. 

  

	12.5	Information Available. Any Participant in the Plan or any Beneficiary receiving benefits under the Plan may examine copies of the summary plan description, latest
annual report, any bargaining agreement, the Plan document, the Trust Agreement or any other governing instruments u:nder which the Plan is operated. The Committee will maintain all of these items in its office, or in such other place or places as
it may designate from time to time for examination during reasonable business hours. Upon the written request of a Participant or Beneficiary receiving benefits under the Plan, the Committee will furnish a copy of any item listed in this Section.
The Committee may make a reasonable charge to the requesting person for the copy furnished. 

  

	12.6	Claims and Appeals Procedure. 

  

	 	(a)	The Committee will adopt procedures for the resolving of claims for benefits and for the appeal and review of the denial of such claims by the Committee. Detailed
information regarding such procedures may be obtained by writing to the Retirement Committee.

to in this Section as the “Claims Administrator”). The Claims Administrator will give the claimant written notice of the disposition of a claim within 90 days after the claim has been filed, unless special circumstances require an
extension of time for processing, in which case such notice of disposition shall be given within 180 days after the application has been filed. If a claim is denied in whole or in part, the Claims Administrator shall give the claimant a written
explanation of the reasons for the denial. 

  

	 	(c)	A claimant wishing a review of a denied claim may submit an appeal in writing in a manner acceptable to the “Appeals Administrator”, which shall be the
Committee or a person, committee or other administrator designated by the Committee, The deadline for submitting any such appeal to the Appeals Administrator shall be 60 days after receipt of the written notification of the denial of the claim, as
described above. 

  

	 	(d)	 Within 60 days following the receipt of the notice of appeal, the Appeals Administrator will give the claimant either (i) a written notice of the
decision of the Appeals Administrator, or (ii) if special circumstances require an extension of time for review, a notice of a 60-day extension of the review period. In the latter case, the notice of the decision of the Appeals Administrator
shall be delivered to the claimant within 120 days after the appeal has been delivered by the claimant. Effective January 1, 2002, the one or more individuals who act as Appeals Administrator and who decide the appeal shall not include any
person who decided the initial claim, 



  
 67 










	 	 
but a person who decided the initial claim may participate in the discussion of the appeal. 


  

	 	(e)	The Plan hereby delegates full and complete discretion to the Claims Administrator and the Appeals Administrator; 


 

	 	(1)	to make findings of fact pertaining to a claim or appeal; 

  

	 	(2)	to interpret the Plan as applied to the facts; and 

  

	 	(3)	to decide all aspects of the claim or appeal. 

  

	 	(f)	The decision of the Appeals Administrator upon such a review of a denied claim, (or, If the claimant fails to submit a timely appeal to the Appeals Administrator, the
decision of the Claims Administrator) will be final, subject to any remedies which may be provided by law. 

  

	12.7	Fiduciary Capacity. Any person may serve in more than one fiduciary capacity with respect to this Plan. 


 

	12.8	Committee Liability. The members of the Committee will use ordinary care and diligence in the performance of their duties, but no member will be personally liable by
virtue of any contract, agreement, or other instrument made or executed as a member of the Committee, nor for any mistake of judgment made by him or her or by any other member, nor for any loss unless resulting from willful misconduct or failure to
exercise good faith. No member of the Committee will be liable for the neglect, omission, or wrongdoing of any other member or of the agents or counsel of the Committee. Zions will indemnify (or cause one or more of the participating Companies to
indemnify) each member of the Committee against, and hold him or her harmless from any and all expenses and liabilities arising out of any act or omission to act as a member of the Committee, except such liabilities and expenses as are due to
willful misconduct or failure to exercise good faith. 

  

	12.9	Limitations of Actions on Claims. The delivery to the claimant of the final decision of the Plan Administrator with respect to a claim for benefits under
Section 12.6 that has been reviewed and considered under the appeal procedures of that section shall commence the period during which the claimant may bring legal action under ERISA for judicial review of the Appeals Administrator’s
decision. No civil action with respect to the claim for benefits or the subject matter thereof may be commenced by the claimant, whether such action is pursued through litigation, arbitration or otherwise, prior to the completion of the claims and
claims review process set forth in Section 12.6, nor following the expiration of two years from the date of delivery of the final decision of the Appeals Administrator to the claimant.

 ARTICLE XIII 
 GENERAL PROVISIONS 
  

	13.1	Amendment of Plan. 

  

	 	(a)	Zions may amend the Plan at any time. In addition to the authority to amend the Plan in other respects, Zions shall furthermore have the authority to adopt any remedial
retroactive changes to comply with the requirements of any law or regulation issued by any governmental agency to which the Plan is subject. No amendment will diminish or adversely affect any accrued interest or benefit of Participants or their
Beneficiaries, except as may be required to comply with the requirements of any law or regulation issued by any governmental agency to which the Company is subject. 


 

	 	(b)	If any amendment to the Plan changes the vesting schedule, each Participant who is an Employee with at least three Years of Vesting Service may elect to remain under
the vesting schedule of the Plan prior to such amendment. If the Participant does not make the election within a reasonable time (as may be determined pursuant to governmental regulations from time to time), such Participant will be subject to the
vesting schedule under the Plan as amended. In no event will the vesting percentage of the Participant’s Accrued Benefit be reduced below the percentage attained by the Participant prior to such amendment. 


 

	 	(c)	In no event will a Participant who terminates or retires on or after the date any amendment to the Plan is effective receive less than his or her vested percentage
multiplied by the Accrued Benefit prior to such date. This amount will be adjusted for the date of retirement and form of payment on the basis in effect prior to such amendment. This paragraph (c) shall not apply to the amendment to the basis
for determining the Actuarial Equivalent value for purposes of Section 5.8 effective June 1, 1995. 

  

	 	(d)	If any amendment to the Plan eliminates an optional form of payment, a Participant may continue to elect such form of payment with respect to any Accrued Benefit earned
prior to the effective date of such amendment. 

  

	13.2	Employment Status. Nothing contained in the Plan will be deemed to give any Employee the right to be retained in the employ of the Employer or to interfere with the
rights of the Employer to discharge any Employee at any time. 

  

	13.3	Mergers or Consolidations. If this Plan merges or consolidates with, or transfers its assets or liabilities to any other qualified plan of deferred compensation, no
Participant will, as a result of such merger, consolidation or transfer, be entitled to a benefit on the day following such event which is less than the benefit to which he or she is entitled on the day preceding such event. For purposes of this
Section, the benefit to which a Participant is entitled will be calculated based upon the assumption that a Plan termination and distribution of assets occurred on the day as of which the Participant’s entitlement is being determined.


  

	13.4	Provision Against Anticipation. No benefit under the Plan will be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance,
charge or other legal process, and any attempt to do so will be void. The preceding sentence will not apply to a Qualified Domestic Relations Order pursuant to Code Section 414(P). 


 

	13.5	 Facility of Payment. If any Participant or Beneficiary is physically or mentally incapable of giving a valid receipt for any payment due him and no
legal representative has been 



  
 69 










	 	 
appointed for such Participant or Beneficiary, the Committee may direct the Trustee to make such payment to any person or institution maintaining such Participant or Beneficiary and the release
of such person or institution will be a valid and complete discharge for such payment. Any final payment or distribution to any Participant, the legal representative of the Participant, or to any Beneficiaries of such Participant in accordance with

Code Section 417(e)(3). 

  

	 	(1)	For benefit commencement dates on and after June 1, 1995 and prior to December 31, 2002, the “Applicable Mortality Table” shall mean the applicable
mortality table prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury in Rev. Rul. 95-6, which is the 1983 Group Annuity Mortality Table, weighted 50% male and 50% female (commonly referred to as “GAM 83”). 


 

	 	(2)	For benefit commencement dates on and after December 31, 2002, the “Applicable Mortality Table” shall mean the applicable mortality table prescribed by

REVISED ACTUARIAL EQUIVALENCE PROVISIONS RESULTING FROM THE 
 PENSION FUNDING EQUITY ACT AND SUBSEQUENT LEGISLATION 
  

	2.1	General Rules. 

  

	 	(a)	Effective date. These revised provisions reflect certain provisions of the Pension Funding Equity Act of 2004 (PFEA), as modified by the Pension Protection Act
of 2006 and the Worker, Retiree and Employer Recovery Act of 2008. Unless otherwise provided herein, all required determinations of actuarial equivalence for forms of benefit other than a straight life annuity shall be made in accordance with these
revised provisions effective for distributions in Plan Years beginning after December 31, 2003, Nevertheless, these provisions do not supersede any prior election to apply the transition rule of section 101(d)(3) of PFEA as described in Notice
2004-78, 

  

	 	(b)	“Applicable Mortality Table” for purposes of these revised provisions shall mean the applicable mortality table within the meaning of Code
§417(e)(3)(B). 

  

	2.2	Benefit Forms Not Subject to the Present Value Rules of Code §417(e)(3). 


 

	 	(a)	Form of benefit. The straight life annuity that is actuarially equivalent to the Participant’s form of benefit shall be determined under this
Section 2.2 if the form of the Participant’s benefit is either: 

  

	 	(1)	A non-decreasing 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 50% of the benefit 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 Code §401(a)(11)). 


 

	 	(b)	 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 



  
 74 










	 	 
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 amount: 


  

	 	(1)	the interest rate and the mortality table (or other tabular factor) specified in the Plan for adjusting benefits in the same form; and 


 

	 	(2)	a 5 percent interest rate assumption and the “applicable mortality table” defined in the Plan for that annuity starting date, 


 

	 	(c)	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 5 percent interest rate assumption and the applicable mortality table defined in the Plan for that annuity starting date. 

  

	2.3	Benefit Forms Subject to the Present Value Rules of Code Section 417(e)(3). 


 

	 	(a)	Form of benefit. The straight life annuity that is actuarially equivalent to the Participant’s form of benefit shall be determined as indicated under this
Section 2.3 if the form of the Participant’s benefit is other than a benefit form described in Section 2.2(a). 

  

	 	(b)	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 December 31, 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 and the mortality table (or other tabular factor) specified in 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 interest rate assumption and the applicable mortality table for the distribution under Treasury Regulations Section 1.417(e)-l(d)(2) (determined in accordance with Article XIV for Plan Years after the
effective date of that Article); 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 for the distribution under Treasury Regulations Section 1.417(e)-1(d)(3) (but determined according to the assumptions in Section 2.4 after the effective date thereof) and the applicable
mortality table for the distribution under Treasury Regulations Section 1.41 



  
 75 










	 	 
7(e)-1(d)(2) (determined according to the assumptions in Section 2,4 after the effective date thereof), divided by 1.05. 



 

	 	(c)	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
benefit, computed using whichever of the following produces the greater annual amount: 

  

	 	(1)	The interest rate and the mortality table (or other tabular factor) specified in the Plan for adjusting benefits in the same form; and 


 

	 	(2)	A 5.5 percent interest rate assumption and the applicable mortality table for the distribution under Treasury Regulations Section 1.417(e)-1 (d)(2).


 However, the foregoing does not supersede any prior election to apply the transition rule of PFEA
§101(d)(3) as described in Notice 2004-78. 
  

	2.4	Revised Assumptions Effective date. The assumptions in ths Section 2.4 shall apply in determining the amount payable to a Participant having an annuity
starting date in a Plan Year beginning on or after January 1, 2008, unless otherwise provided by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) and IRS. 


 

	 	(a)	Applicable interest rate. For purposes of the Plan’s provisions relating to the calculation of the present value of a benefit payment that is subject to
Code §417(e), any provision prescribing the use of the annual rate of interest on 30-year U.S. Treasury securities shall be implemented by instead using the rate of interest determined by the applicable interest rate described by Code
§417(e) after its amendment by the Pension Protection Act. Specifically, the applicable interest rate shall be the adjusted first, second, and third segment rates applied under the rules similar to the rules of Code §430(h)(2)(C) for the
second calendar month (lookback month) before the first day of the Plan Year in which the annuity starting state occurs (stability period). For this purpose, the first, second, and third segment rates are the first, second, and third segment rates
which would be determined under Code §430(h)(2)(C) if: 

  

	 	(1)	Code §430(h)(2)(D) were applied by substituting the average yields for the month described in the preceding paragraph for the average yields for the 24-month
period described in such section, and 

  

	 	(2)	Code §430(h)(2)(G)(i)(II) were applied by substituting “§417(e)(3)(A)(ii)(II) for “§412(b)(5)(B)(ii)(II),” and 


 

	 	(3)	The applicable percentage under Code §430(h)(2)(G) is treated as being 20% in 2008, 40% in 2009, 60% in 2010, and 80% in 2011. 


 

	 	(b)	Applicable mortality assumption. For purposes of the Plan’s provisions relating to the calculation of the present value of a benefit payment that is subject
to Code §417(e), any provision directly or indirectly prescribing the use of the mortality table described in Revenue Ruling 2001-62 shall be amended to prescribe the use of the applicable annual mortality table within the meaning of Code
§417(e)(3)(B), as initially described in Revenue Ruling 2007-67.

	1.1	Covered Compensation. Covered Compensation for a Plan Year means the average of the Social Security Taxable Wage Bases for each year in the 35-year period ending with
the last day of the year in which the Participant attains (or will attain) Social Security Retirement Age as determined under the exact tables provided by the Commissioner of Internal Revenue. 


Covered Compensation for any Plan Year after 1991 will be equal to 1991 Covered Compensation. Social Security Taxable Wage Base means the
contribution and benefit base in effect under Section 230 of the Social Security Act for the specified calendar year. 
 For
purposes of this Section 1.1, a Participant’s Social Security Retirement Age is determined based on the following table: 
  

			
	 Year of Birth
	  	 Social Security Retirement Age

	 Before 1938
	  	65
	 1983 to 1954
	  	66
	 1955 and after
	  	67

  

	1.2	Credited Service. 

 Credited
Service means service used to determine a Participant’s Accrued Benefit and is determined as follows: 
  

	 	(a)	Credited Service shall be measured in calendar years and months, Each month shall be equal to one-twelfth of a year of Credited Service. Except as otherwise stated in
this Section 1.2, Credited Service for Plan Years beginning after December 31, 1988 means the sum of an Employee’s calendar years and months (or parts thereof) as an Eligible Employee during the period beginning on his or her Benefit
Service Date, For purposes of this section, Benefit Service Date means the later of: 

  

	 	(1)	the Participant’s employment date, 

  

	 	(2)	the first day of the month following the Participant’s 21st birthday, or 


 

	 	(3)	in the case of an Employee who is not credited with at least 1,000 Hours of Service in his or her first Eligibility Computation Period, the first day of the first Plan
Year in which the Employee is credited with at least 1,000 Hours of Service. 


  
 77 










	 	(b)	No Credited Service will be earned during a Plan Year beginning after December 31, 1988 unless the Employee completes at least 1,000 Hours of Service during that
Plan Year except as follows: (1) through the period ending on December 31, 1997 and for Plan Year 2000, in order to earn Credited Service during the Plan Year in which the Employee has a Benefit Service Date or during the Plan Year in
which the Employee retires or dies, the Employee must complete 83,33 Hours of Service multiplied by the number of calendar months during such Plan Year in which the Employee completes at least one Hour of Service; and (2) effective for the
1995-1997 and the 2000 Plan Years, the foregoing sentence shall also apply to a Plan Year in which the Employee incurs a Termination of Employment. 

  

	 	(c)	Except as otherwise stated in this Section 1.2, Credited Service for Plan Years beginning before January 1, 1989 means benefit service as defined under the
terms of the Plan in effect on December 31, 1988. 

  

	 	(d)	Effective on and after December 12, 1994, in any year in which a Participant accrues at least 1,000 Hours of Service, a Participant shall earn 190 Hours of
Service, and one month of Credited Service, for each month of the Participant’s Qualified Military Service. 

  

	 	(e)	Credited Service will not include service earned during a period for which Years of Vesting Service are disregarded pursuant to Section 1.50(e) of the Plan.


  

	 	(f)	In the case of an Employee who is employed by an Affiliate or Subsidiary which either adopts this Plan with the consent of the Company or merges with the Company,
Credited Service will not include service prior to the date of merger or adoption unless an earlier date is specifically designated for this purpose by the Board of Directors of Zions. 


 

	1.3	Final Average Earnings. 

 Final
Average Earnings means the average of the Participant’s Earnings as an Eligible Employee for the period of five consecutive calendar years ending on or before December 31, 1991 which produces the highest average. If the Participant has not
been an Eligible Employee for five years, Final Average Earnings means the average of the Participant’s Earnings over the Participant’s full period of employment as an Eligible Employee before December 31, 1991. 

In determining Final Average Earnings, Plan Years after 1988 during which the Participant earns fewer than 1,000 Hours of Service will be
disregarded while allowing the immediately prior Plan Year and immediately subsequent Plan Year to be treated as though they are consecutive years. 
 In determining Final Average Earnings, Earnings will be annualized in the Plan Year of hire if the employee earned 1,000 Hours of Service during the one-year period beginning on the Employee’s
Employment Date. Earnings are annualized by dividing actual earnings for the Plan Year (excluding bonuses) by the number of months of actual earnings, then multiplying the result by 12 then adding bonuses. 

For purposes of calculating Final Average Earnings, the $200,000 Earnings limitation that applies under Code Section 401 (a)(l 7) for
Plan Year 2002 and thereafter (subject to annual adjustment in years following 2002) shall not be applied retroactively to any Plan Year prior to 2002.
