Normal, Early and Deferred Retirement Benefits


3.1    Normal Retirement Benefits


3.1.1        Normal Retirement:  A Participant who retires on the Normal Retirement Date shall be entitled to receive a Normal Retirement Benefit determined under Section 3.1.2.  Payment of such benefit shall commence as of the first day of the month coincident with or next following the Participant’s Normal Retirement Date, unless the Participant elects to defer commencement subject to Section 3.3.2.


3.1.2        Calculation of Normal Retirement Benefit:  Subject to Section 3.1.3, a Participant’s monthly Normal Retirement Benefit shall be equal to the product of (a) multiplied by (b) below:
(a)     1/12th of the sum of (i) and (ii) below:


		
	(i)
	the sum of (1) 1% of the Participant’s Final Average Yearly Earnings up to the Social Security Covered Compensation Base and (2) 1-1/2% of the Participant’s Final Average Yearly Earnings in excess of the Social Security Covered Compensation Base multiplied by the Participant’s expected Years of Credited Service at age 65 up to 35 Years of Credited Service; and




		
	(ii)
	1-1/2% of the Participant’s Final Average Yearly Earnings multiplied by the Participant’s expected Years of Credited Service at age 65 in excess of 35 Years of Credited Service.









(b)    the ratio of actual Years of Credited Service to expected Years of Credited Service at age 65.


In no event, however, shall an FMC Participant’s monthly Normal Retirement Benefit be less than his or her accrued monthly Normal Retirement Benefit under the FMC Plan as of December 31, 1990.
3.1.3        Increases for Employee Contributions:  Employee Contributions and Interest credited to a Participant are not paid as an accrued benefit, but rather may be withdrawn by the Participant at any time pursuant to Section 5.2 hereof.  However, if a Participant does not elect to withdraw the Employee Contributions and Interest credited to the Participant either at the time of Retirement or before, pursuant to the terms of Section 5.2 hereof, a Participant’s Normal Retirement Benefit shall be increased $1 for each $120.00 of unwithdrawn Employee Contributions credited to the Participant.


3.1.4        Reductions for Certain Benefits:  A Participant’s Normal Retirement Benefit shall be reduced by the value of (a) for FMC Participants, the FMC Participant’s vested benefit accrued under the FMC Plan as of November 30, 1985 (to the extent funded by the Aetna nonparticipating annuity contract or the Prudential nonparticipating annuity contract) and (b) any vested benefit payable to the Participant under the FMC Plan, the FMCTI Plan or any pension, profit sharing or other retirement plan other than the Savings Plan (hereinafter called “Duplicate Benefit Plan”) which is attributable to any period which counts as Credited Service under this Plan.  For purposes of determining the amount of any Duplicate Benefit Plan reduction, the vested benefit under the Duplicate Benefit Plan shall be converted to a form which is identical to the form of benefit which is to be paid under this Plan, including any applicable reductions for early commencement as determined under the Plan or the Duplicate Benefit Plan, as applicable. Such values will be determined as of the earlier of the Annuity Starting Date under the Plan, or the date distribution of such vested benefit was made or commenced under the Duplicate Benefit Plan as applicable.


3.2        Early Retirement Benefits


3.2.1        Early Retirement:  A Participant who retires on or after the Early Retirement Date shall be entitled to receive an Early Retirement Benefit determined under Section 3.2.2.  Payment of such benefit shall commence as of the first of the month after the Participant retires or, if the Participant elects, as of the first day of any subsequent month.  Any such election of a deferred commencement date may be revoked at any time prior to such date and a new date may be elected by giving advance written notice to the Administrator in accordance with rules prescribed by the Administrator.







3.2.2        Calculation of Early Retirement Benefit:  Subject to Sections 3.2.3 and 3.2.4, a Participant’s monthly Early Retirement Benefit shall be equal to the greater of (a) or (b) below:

	(b)
	for an FMC Participant, his or her accrued monthly unreduced Early Retirement Benefit under the FMC Plan as of December 31, 1990 that was transferred to the FMCTI Plan in the FTI Spinoff.




3.2.3    Early Retirement Reduction Factor:  The Participant’s Early Retirement Benefit computed pursuant to Section 3.2.2 shall be reduced by 1 /3 of 1% for each 1 month in excess of 36 by which the commencement of the Participant’s Early Retirement Benefit precedes the Participant’s 65th  birthday.


3.2.4    Adjustments to Early Retirement Benefit:  To the extent applicable, a Participant’s Early Retirement Benefit shall be increased as provided in Section 3.1.3 except that the number of dollars of unwithdrawn Employee Contributions and Interest required to provide $1 of monthly retirement benefits shall be increased by $3 for each full year by which the commencement of the Participant’s Early Retirement Benefit precedes the Participant’s Normal Retirement Date.  Partial years shall be prorated on the basis of $0.25 per month.


3.3        Deferred Retirement Benefits


3.3.1        Deferred Retirement:  A Participant who retires after the Normal Retirement Date shall be entitled to receive a Normal Retirement Benefit determined under Section 3.1.2 commencing as of the first day of the month coinciding with or next following the date the Participant actually retires.  Each Participant shall accrue additional benefits hereunder after the Participant’s Normal Retirement Date with respect to the portion of the Normal Retirement Benefit which is attributable to contributions by the Company, and the amount, if any, of Employee Contributions and Interest required to provide $1 of monthly retirement benefit under Section 3.1.3 shall be decreased by $3 for each full year by which the commencement of the Normal Retirement Benefit follows the Normal Retirement Date.  Partial years shall be prorated on the basis of $0.25 per month.  If a Participant who is not employed by the Company or its Affiliates on his or her Normal Retirement Date defers his or her Normal Retirement Benefit will be paid retroactive to the Participant’s Normal Retirement Date as soon as reasonably practicable after the Plan Administrator learns of the deferred benefit.







3.3.2        Distribution Requirements:  Except as hereinafter provided, unless the Participant elects otherwise in accordance with the terms of the Plan, payment of a Participant’s retirement benefits will begin no later than 60 days after the close of the Plan Year in which the latest of the following events occurs:


(a)        the Participant’s 65th birthday;


(b)        the 10th anniversary of the year in which the Participant commenced participation in the Plan; and


(c)        the Participant terminates employment with the Company and all Affiliates.


If the amount of the payment required to commence on the date determined under this Section 3.3.2 cannot be ascertained by such date, or if it is not possible to make such payment on such date because the Administrator cannot locate the Participant after making reasonable efforts to do so, a payment retroactive to such date may be made no later than 60 days after the earliest date on which the amount of such payment can be ascertained under this Plan or the date the Participant is located.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan:
		
	(i)
	the accrued benefit of a Participant who attains age 70-1/2 on or after January 1, 2000 must be distributed or commence to be distributed no later than the April 1 following the later of (1) the calendar year in which the Participant attains age 70-1/2 or (2) the calendar year in which the Participant retires (unless the Participant is a 5% owner, as defined in Code Section 416, of the Company with respect to the Plan Year in which the Participant attains age 70-1/2, in which case this Subsection (2) shall not apply); and




		
	(ii) 
	the accrued benefit of a Participant who attains age 70-1/2 prior to January 1, 2000 must be distributed or commence to be distributed no later than the April 1 following the calendar year in which the Participant attains age 70-1/2 unless the Participant is not a 5% owner (as defined in Subsection (i)) and elects to defer distribution to the calendar year in which the Participant retires.









All Plan distributions will comply with Code Section 401(a)(9), including Department of Treasury Regulation Section 1.401(a)(9)-2.  With respect to distributions made under the Plan for Plan Years beginning on or after January 1, 2003, all Plan distributions will comply with Code Section 401(a)(9), including Department of Treasury Regulation Section 1.401(a)(9)-2 through 1.401(a)(9)-9, as promulgated under Final and Temporary Regulations published in the Federal Register on April 17, 2002 (the ‘401(a)(9) Regulations’), with respect to minimum distributions under Code Section 401(a)(9).  In addition, the benefit payments distributed to any Participant on or after January 1, 2003, will satisfy the incidental death benefit provisions under Code Section 401(a)(9)(G) and Department of Treasury Regulation Section 1.401(a)(9)-5(d), as promulgated in the 401(a)(9) Regulations.  To the extent required by Coe Section 401(a)(9)(C)(iii), or any other applicable guidance issued thereunder, with respect to a Participant who retires in a calendar year after the calendar year in which the Participant attains age 70 1⁄2, the actuarial increase in such Participant’s accrued benefit mandated by Code Section 401(a)(9)(C)(iii) shall be implemented notwithstanding any suspension of benefits provision applicable to such Participant pursuant to ERISA 203(a)(3)(B), Code Section 411(a)(3)(B) and the terms of the Plan.
3.4        Suspension of Benefits


3.4.1        Prior to Normal Retirement Date:  If a Participant receives retirement benefits under the Plan following a termination of his employment prior to the Participant’s Normal Retirement Date and again becomes an Employee prior to the Participant’s Normal Retirement Date, no retirement benefits shall be paid during such later period of employment and up to the Participant’s Normal Retirement Date.  Any benefits payable under the Plan to or on behalf of the Participant at the time of the Participant’s subsequent termination of employment shall be reduced by the actuarial equivalent (based on the assumptions in Exhibit E-4) of any benefits paid to the Participant after the Participant earlier termination and prior to his Normal Retirement Date.


3.4.2        After Normal Retirement Date:  If (a) a Participant whose employment terminates again becomes an Employee after the Participant’s Normal Retirement Date, or again becomes an Employee prior to the Participant’s Normal Retirement Date and continues in employment beyond the Participant’s Normal Retirement Date, or (b) a Participant continues in employment with the Company and Affiliates after his Normal Retirement Date without a prior termination, the following provisions of this Section 3.4.2 shall become applicable to the Participant as of the Participant’s Normal Retirement Date or, if later, the Participant’s date of reemployment.







		
	(i)
	For purposes of this Section 3.4.2, the following definitions shall apply:




		
	(1)
	Postretirement Date Service means each calendar month after a Participant’s Normal Retirement Date and subsequent to the time that:




		
	(A)
	payment of retirement benefits commenced to the Participant if the Participant returned to employment with the Company and Affiliates, or




		
	(B)
	payment of retirement benefits would have commenced to him if the Participant had not remained in employment with the Company and Affiliates, if in either case the Participant receives pay from the Company and Affiliates for any Hours of Service performed on each of 8 or more days (or separate work shifts) in such calendar month.




		
	(2)
	Suspendable Amount means the monthly retirement benefits otherwise payable in a calendar month in which the Participant is engaged in Postretirement Date Service.




		
	(ii)
	Payment shall be permanently withheld of a portion of a Participant’s retirement benefits, not in excess of the Suspendable Amount, for each calendar month during which the Participant is employed in Postretirement Date Service.  If payments have been suspended pursuant to Subsection (ii) above, such payments shall resume no later than the first day of the third calendar month after the calendar month in which the Participant ceases to be employed in Postretirement Date Service; provided, however, that no payments shall resume until the Participant has complied with the requirements set forth in Subsection (vi) below.  The initial payment upon resumption shall include the payment scheduled to occur in the calendar month when payments resume and any amounts withheld during the period between the cessation of Postretirement Date Service and the resumption of payment, less any amounts that are subject to offset pursuant to Subsection (iv) below.









		
	(iii)
	Retirement benefits made subsequent to Postretirement Date Service shall be reduced by (1) the actuarial equivalent (based on the assumptions in Exhibit E-4) of any benefits paid to the Participant prior to the time the Participant is reemployed after the Participant’s Normal Retirement Date; and (2) the amount of any payments previously made during those calendar months in which the Participant was engaged in Postretirement Date Service; provided, however, that such reduction under (Subsection (2)) shall not exceed, in any one month, 25% percent of that month’s total retirement benefits (excluding amounts described in Subsection (ii) above) that would have been due but for the offset.




		
	(iv)
	Any Participant whose retirement benefits are suspended pursuant to Subsection (ii) of this Section 3.4.2 shall be notified (by personal delivery or certified or registered mail) during the first calendar month in which payments are withheld that the Participant’s retirement benefits are suspended.  Such notification shall include:




		
	(1)
	a description of the specific reasons for the suspension of payments;




		
	(2)
	a general description of the Plan provisions relating to the suspension;




		
	(3)
	a copy of the provisions;




		
	(4)
	a statement to the effect that applicable Department of Labor Regulations may be found at Section 2530.203-3 of Title 29 of the Code of Federal Regulations;

	the procedure for filing a benefits resumption notification pursuant to Subsection (vi) below.









If payments subsequent to the suspension are to be reduced by an offset pursuant to Subsection (iv) above, the notification shall specifically identify the periods of employment for which the amounts to be offset were paid, the Suspendable Amounts subject to offset, and the manner in which the Plan intends to offset such Suspendable Amounts.
		
	(v)
	Payments shall not resume as set forth in Subsection (iii) above until a Participant performing Postretirement Date Service notifies the Administrator in writing of the cessation of such Service and supplies the Administrator with such proof of the cessation as the Administrator may reasonably require.




		
	(vi)
	A Participant may request, pursuant to the procedure contained in Section 12.11, a determination whether specific contemplated employment will constitute Postretirement Date Service.




3.5        Benefit Limitations


3.5.1        Limitation on Accrued Benefit:  Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the annual benefit payable under the Plan to a Participant, when expressed as a monthly benefit commencing at the Participant’s Social Security Retirement Age (as defined in Code Section 415(b)(8)), shall not exceed the lesser of (a) $13,333.33 or (b) the highest average of the Participant’s monthly compensation for 3 consecutive calendar years, subject to the following:


		
	(i)
	The maximum shall apply to the Individual Life Annuity computed under Section 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 or Article IV and to that portion of the Accrued Benefit (as adjusted as required under Code Section 415) payable in the form elected to the Participant during the Participant’s lifetime.









		
	(ii)
	If a Participant has fewer than 10 years of participation in the Plan, the maximum dollar limitation of Subsection (a) above shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator is the Participant’s actual years of participation in the Plan (computed to fractional parts of a year) and the denominator is 10.  If a Participant has fewer than 10 Years of Vesting Service, the maximum compensation limitation in Subsection (b) above shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator is the Years of Vesting Service (computed to fractional parts of a year) and the denominator is 10.  Provided, however, that in no event shall such dollar or compensation limitation, as applicable, be less than 1/10th of such limitation determined without regard to any adjustment under this Subsection (ii).




		
	(iii)
	As of January 1 of each year, the dollar limitation as adjusted by the Commissioner of Internal Revenue for that calendar year to reflect increases in the cost of living shall become effective as the maximum dollar limitation in Subsection (a) above for the Plan Year ending within that calendar year for Participants terminating in or after such Plan Year.




		
	(iv)
	If the benefit of a Participant begins prior to age 62, the defined benefit dollar limitation applicable to the Participant at such earlier age is an annual benefit payable in the form of a Life Annuity beginning at the earlier age that is the Actuarial Equivalent of the dollar limitation under Subsection (a) above applicable to the Participant at age 62.  The defined benefit dollar limitation applicable at an age prior to age 62 is determined by using the lesser of the effective Early Retirement reduction, as determined under the Plan, or 5% per year.  The mortality basis for determining Actuarial Equivalence for terminations on or after December 31, 2002, as applicable, shall be the 1994 Group Annuity Reserving Table (weighted 50% male, 50% female and projected to 2002 using Scale AA), which is the table prescribed in Rev. Rul. 2001-62, (or the applicable mortality table, prescribed under Section 417(e)(3) of the Code or other guidance of general applicability issued thereunder).









For periods prior to January 1, 2002, the dollar limitation under Code Section 415 in effect for the applicable Plan Year above shall be modified as follows to reflect commencement of retirement benefits on a date other than the Participant’s Social Security Retirement Age:
		
	(1)
	if the Participant’s Social Security Retirement Age is 65, the dollar limitation for benefits commencing on or after age 62 is determined by reducing the dollar limitation under Subsection (a) above by 5/9ths of 1% for each month by which benefits commence before the month in which the Participant attains age 65;




		
	(2)
	if the Participant’s Social Security Retirement Age is greater than 65, the dollar limitation for benefits commencing on or after age 62 is determined by reducing the dollar limitation under Subsection (a) above by 5/9ths of 1% for each of the first 36 months and by 5/12ths of 1% for each of the additional months by which benefits commence before the month in which the Participant attains the Participant’s Social Security Retirement Age;




		
	(3)
	if the Participant’s benefit commences prior to age 62, the dollar limitation shall be the actuarial equivalent of Subsection (a) above, payable at age 62, as determined above, reduced for each month by which benefits commence before the month in which the Participant attains age 62.  The interest rate for determining Actuarial Equivalence shall be the greater of the interest rate assumption under the Plan for determining early retirement benefits or 5% per year.  The mortality basis for determining Actuarial Equivalence for terminations on or after January 1, 1995 shall be the 1983 Group Annuity Mortality Table (weighted 50% male and 50% female);




		
	(v)
	Notwithstanding the foregoing, the maximum as applied to any FMC Participant on April 1, 1987 shall in no event be less than the FMC Participant’s “current accrued benefit” as of March 31, 1987, under the FMC Plan, as that term is defined in Section 1106 of the Tax Reform Act of 1986.









		
	(vi)
	The maximum shall apply to the benefits payable to a Participant under the Plan and all other tax-qualified defined benefit plans of the Company and Affiliates (whether or not     terminated),and benefits shall be reduced, if necessary, in the reverse of the chronological order of participation in such plans.




		
	(vii)
	For purposes of this Section 3.5.1, the term “compensation” means compensation as defined in Code Section 415(c)(3) and the term “monthly compensation” means compensation divided by 12.




3.5.2    Multiple Plan Reduction:  With respect to each FMC Participant who did not have 1 Hour of Service after December 31, 1999 and who is (or has been) a participant in any defined contribution plan (whether or not terminated) maintained by FMC, the Company or an Affiliate, the sum of the FMC Participant’s defined benefit plan fraction (as defined under Code Section 415(e)(2)) and defined contribution plan fraction (as defined under Code Section 415(e)(3)) shall not exceed 1.  If such sum exceeds 1, the FMC Participant’s defined benefit plan fraction shall be reduced until such sum equal 1.


3.5.3        Annual Compensation Limit:  The accrued benefit of each “Section 401(a)(17) employee” under this Plan will be the greater of the accrued benefit determined for the Employee under (a) or (b) below:


		
	(a)
	the Employee’s accrued benefit determined with respect to the benefit formula applicable for the Plan Year beginning on or after January 1, 1994, as applied to the Employee’s total Years of Credited Service, or




		
	(b)
	the sum of:




		
	(i)
	the Employee’s accrued benefit as of the last day of the last Plan Year beginning before January 1, 1994, frozen in accordance with section 1.401(a)(4)-13 of the regulations under the Code, and the Employee’s accrued benefit determined under the benefit formula applicable for the Plan Year beginning on or after January 1, 1994, as applied to the Employee’s Years of Credited Service credited to the Employee for Plan Years beginning on or after January 1, 1994.




A “Section 401(a)(17) employee” means an Employee whose current accrued benefit as of a date on or after the first day of the first Plan Year beginning on or after January 1, 1994. is based on Earnings for a year beginning prior to January 1, 1994 that exceeded $150,000.





3.5.4        Incorporation of Section 415 of the Code:    The provisions set forth in Article III are intended to comply with the requirements of Section 415 of the Code and shall be interpreted, applied and if and to the extent necessary, deemed modified without formal language so as to satisfy solely the minimum requirements of Section 415.


3.6        FMC Participants’ and FMCTI Participants’ Benefits


The Normal Retirement Benefit, Early Retirement Benefit and Termination Benefit for each FMC Participant who is not an Employee and who does not complete an Hour of Service on or after May 1, 2001 shall, notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 or 4.2 hereof, equal the accrued benefit of such FMC Participant as transferred from the FMC Plan in the FTI Spinoff.
The Normal Retirement Benefit, Early Retirement Benefit and Termination Benefit for each FMCTI Participant who is not an Employee and who does not complete an Hour of Service on or after June 1, 2014 shall, notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 or 4.2 hereof, equal the accrued benefit of such FMCTI Participant as transferred from the FMCTI Plan in the FMCTI Spinoff.

Except as otherwise provided in the applicable Supplement, a Participant who has 5 Years of Vesting Service but who ceases to be an Employee before the Participant’s Early Retirement Date for any reason other than death, shall be entitled to receive a “Termination Benefit” determined under Section 4.2.  Except as otherwise provided in the applicable Supplement, unless the Participant elects otherwise subject to Section 3.3.2, payment of such benefit shall commence as of the first day of the month coincident with or next following the Participant’s Normal Retirement Date or, if the Participant elects, as of the first day of any month before such Normal Retirement Date and coincident with or following the Participant’s 55th birthday.

Except as provided in Article V and Article VII, no benefits shall be payable to any person if the Participant dies prior to the Annuity Starting Date.  A terminated Participant who has no vested interest in the Participant’s accrued benefit shall be deemed to have received a distribution of the Participant’s entire vested benefit.  The Committee or its delegatee may, in its discretion, fully vest a Participant in the Participant’s accrued benefit in the event the Participant’s employment with the Company is affected by a transaction undertaken by the Company.  Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, effective April 30, 2014, the accrued benefit of any Participant who ceased to be an employee of the Company effective as of April 30, 2014 as a result of the Company’s divestiture of its material handling products business to Syntron Material Handling, LLC, effective April 30, 2014, shall at all times be fully vested.

	(c)
	notwithstanding Subsection (a) of this Section 4.2, the amounts computed pursuant to Section 3.1.2 shall be reduced by 1/3 of 1% for each month in excess of 36 by which the Annuity Starting Date precedes the Participant’s 65th  birthday if:




		
	(i)
	the Participant’s combined age and Years of Vesting Service equal at least 65, and the Participant ceases to be an Employee (1) because of the permanent shutdown of a single site of employment or one or more facilities or operating units within a single site of employment or (2) in connection with a permanent reduction in force; or

	(d)
	If a Participant ceases to be an Employee (1) because of the permanent shut down of a single site of employment of one or more facilities or operating units within a single site of employment, or (2) in connection with a permanent reduction in force, solely for purposes of determining a Participant’s eligibility for Early Retirement, a Participant with 10 Years of Credited Service shall have added to his or her age the number of weeks of pay he or she receives that are attributable to severance pay, unused vacation pay and accrued vacation pay.









		
	(e)
	Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, for purposes of determining a Participant’s total combined age and Years of Vesting Service under Section 4.2(c) and 4.2(d), a partial month of age or Period of Service shall be counted as a whole month, and fractional years of age and Years of Vesting Service shall be taken into account.

Refund of Employee Contributions


5.1        Employee Contributions


No Employee Contributions are permitted to be made to this Plan.  However, Employee Contributions which were transferred from the FMC Plan are held under this Plan for the FMC Participants.  All Employee Contributions transferred from the FMC Plan are fully vested and nonforfeitable and will be paid in accordance with the terms of Sections 5.2, 5.3 or 5.4 or in accordance with the terms of Section 3.1.3, 3.2.4, or 3.3.1, as applicable.

	(b)
	if the FMC Participant elected any other form of benefit, the portion of the benefits received by the FMC Participant and the FMC Participant’s Joint Annuitant which are attributable to Employee Contributions and Interest.

ARTICLE VI


Payment of Retirement Benefits


6.1        Normal Form of Benefit


Except as otherwise provided in the applicable Supplement, a Participant’s benefit shall be paid in the form of a 50% Joint and Survivor’s Annuity, with the Participant’s spouse as Joint Annuitant if the Participant is married on the Annuity Starting Date, and in the form of an Individual Life Annuity if the Participant is not married on the Annuity Starting Date, unless the Participant elects with spousal consent not to receive payments pursuant to this 6.1 and to receive payments in one of the optional forms permitted under Section 6.2.  An election not to receive the normal form of benefit and to receive payment in any optional form shall satisfy the applicable requirements of Section 6.3.





6.2    Available Forms of Benefits
A Participant may elect with spousal consent and in accordance with Section 6.3, to receive the Participant’s benefits in any one of the forms of benefits described in this Section 6.2.
6.2.1        Individual Life Annuity:  An Individual Life Annuity is an immediate annuity which provides equal monthly payments for the Participant’s life only.


6.2.2        50% Joint and Survivor’s Annuity:  A 50% Joint and Survivor’s Annuity is an immediate annuity which is the actuarial equivalent of an Individual Life Annuity (determined in accordance with Exhibit E-1) (effective February 1, 2006, the Actuarial Equivalent of an Individual Life Annuity), but which provides a smaller monthly annuity for the Participant’s life than an Individual Life Annuity.


6.2.3        100% Joint and Survivor’s Annuity:  A 100% Joint and Survivor’s Annuity is an immediate annuity which is the actuarial equivalent of an Individual Life Annuity (determined in accordance with Exhibit E-2) (effective February 1, 2006, the Actuarial Equivalent of an Individual Life Annuity), but which provides a smaller monthly annuity for the Participant’s life than an Individual Life Annuity.


6.2.4        Level Income Option:  The Level Income Option provides greater monthly annuity payments prior the Participant’s 62nd birthday (determined in accordance with Exhibit E-3 (effective February 1, 2006, determined in accordance with the definition of Actuarial Equivalence in Article I)) and after such birthday provides reduced monthly annuity payments in an amount which, when added to the Primary Social Security Benefits which the Participant could elect to receive, approximately equals the amount of the monthly annuity paid prior to the Participant’s 62nd birthday.  A Participant who is entitled to an Early Retirement Benefit under Section 3.2 and who elects to have such benefit commence prior to age 62 may elect the Level Income Option, unless the Primary Social Security Benefits which the Participant could elect to receive at age 62 would equal or exceed the amount of the monthly annuity payments prior to age 62 or unless the Participant is receiving Social Security disability benefits.  Such election shall be subject to the approval of the Participant’s spouse, given in accordance with the requirements for spousal consent under Section 6.3.


6.2.5        Qualified Optional Survivor Annuity:  Effective for Plan Years beginning on or after January 1, 2008, a Participant may elect a Qualified Optional Survivor Annuity which is an immediate annuity for the life of the Participant with a survivor annuity for the life of the Participant’s surviving spouse that equals 75% of the amount of the annuity which is payable during the joint lives of the Participant and the Participant’s spouse.







6.3        Election of Benefits


6.3.1        The Administrator shall provide each Participant with a written notice containing the following information:


		
	(a)
	a general description of the normal form of benefit payable under the Plan;




		
	(b)
	the Participant’s right to make and the effect of an election to waive the normal form of benefit;




		
	(c)
	the right of the Participant’s spouse not to consent to the Participant’s election under Section 6.1;




		
	(d)
	the right of Participant to revoke such election, and the effect of such revocation;




		
	(e)
	the optional forms of benefits available under the Plan; and




		
	(f)
	the Participant’s right to request in writing information on the particular financial effect of an election by the Participant to receive an optional form of benefit in lieu of the normal form of benefit.




6.3.2        The notice under Section 6.3.1 shall be provided to the Participant at each of the following times as shall be applicable to him:


		
	(a)
	not more than 90 (effective January 1, 2008, 180) days and not less than 30 days after a Participant who is in the employ of the Company or an Affiliate gives notice of the Participant’s intention to terminate employment and commence receipt of the Participant’s retirement benefits under the Plan; or




		
	(b)
	not more than 90 (effective January 1, 2008, 180) days and not less than 30 days prior to the attainment of age 65 of a Participant (whether or not the Participant has terminated employment) who has not previously commenced receiving retirement benefits.









The election period in Section 6.3.3 for a Participant who requests additional information during the election period will be extended until 90 days after the additional information is mailed or personally delivered.  Any such request shall be made only within 90 days after the date the information described in Section 6.3.1 is given to the Participant, and the Administrator shall not be obligated to comply with more than one such request.  Any information provided pursuant to this Section 6.3.2 will be given to the Participant within 30 days after the date of the Participant’s request and will be based upon the estimated benefits to which the Participant will be entitled as of the later of the first day on which such benefits could commence or the last day of the Plan Year in which the Participant’s request is received.  If a Participant files an election (or revokes an election) pursuant to this Section 6.3 less than 60 days prior to the Annuity Starting Date, such Participant’s initial payments may be delayed for administrative reasons. In such event, the payments shall begin as soon as practicable and shall be made retroactively to such date.  Notwithstanding the above to the contrary, effective January 1, 2004, in the event a Participant elects a Retroactive Annuity Starting Date as provided in Section 6.6, the notice under 6.3.1 shall be provided to the Participant on or about the date that the Participant files an election for a Retroactive Annuity Starting Date.
6.3.3        A Participant may make the election provided in Section 6.3 by filing the prescribed form with the Administrator at any time during the election period.  The election period shall begin 90 (effective January 1, 2008, 180) days prior to the Participant’s Annuity Starting Date.  Such election shall be subject to the written consent of the Participant’s spouse, acknowledging the effect of the election and witnessed by a Plan representative or a notary public.  Such spousal consent shall not be required if the Participant establishes to the satisfaction of the Administrator that the consent of the spouse may not be obtained because there is no spouse or the spouse cannot be located.  A spouse’s consent shall be irrevocable.  The election in Section 6.3 may be revoked or changed at any time during the election period but shall be irrevocable thereafter.


6.3.4        Notwithstanding Section 6.3.3:


		
	(a)
	distribution of benefits may commence less than 30 days after the notice required pursuant to Section 6.3.1 is provided if:




		
	(i)
	the Participant elects to waive the requirement that notice be given at least 30 days prior to the Annuity Starting Date; and




		
	(ii)
	the distribution commences more than 7 days after such notice is provided.









		
	(b)
	The notice described in Section 6.3.1 may be provided after the Annuity Starting Date, in which case the applicable election period shall not end before the 30th day after the date on which such notice is provided, unless the Participant elects to waive the 30-day notice requirements pursuant to Subsection (a) above.




6.3.5        Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions in Section 6.3, effective January 1, 2004, a Participant may elect a Retroactive Annuity Starting Date (as defined in Treas. Reg. 1.417(e)-1(b)(3)(iv)(B)), pursuant to Section 6.6.  In the event that the notice information described in Section 6.3 is provided to the Participant after the Participant’s Annuity Starting Date (as defined in Section 417(f)(2) of the Code) or Retroactive Annuity Starting Date, the Participant shall have at least 30 days after the date the notification is provided to make the election described in Section 6.3.  The Participant may waive this 30 day period pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.3.4.


6.4        Joint Annuitants


A Participant who elects a joint and survivor’s annuity shall designate a Joint Annuitant when making such an election.  A Participant may designate any individual as the Joint Annuitant; provided, however, that the Joint Annuitant shall be the Participant’s spouse unless the Participant’s spouse consents to the designation of another individual in accordance with the requirements for spousal consent under Section 6.3.3.  A designation of a Joint Annuitant may be revoked or changed at any time during the applicable election period described in Section 6.3.3 but shall become irrevocable thereafter.  If the Joint Annuitant dies on or after the Annuity Starting Date the Participant shall continue to receive the reduced monthly annuity.
6.5        FMC Participants in Pay Status


Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary, each FMC Participant who had elected to receive and/or was receiving their normal retirement benefit, early retirement benefit, deferred retirement benefit or termination benefit under the FMC Plan prior to the Effective Date shall on and after the Effective Date continue to receive such benefits in the same form, and in the same amount as such FMC Participant and/or, as applicable, FMC Joint Annuitant, was receiving or would have received under the FMC Plan prior to the Effective Date as if such benefits were paid by the FMC Plan.  In addition, each FMC Beneficiary who was receiving benefits under the FMC Plan on behalf of an FMC Participant prior to the Effective Date shall continue to receive such benefits from this Plan after the Effective Date in the same form and in the same amount as if such benefits were paid by the FMC Plan.





6.6        Election of Retroactive Annuity Starting Date
Effective January 1, 2004, a Participant may elect a “Retroactive Annuity Starting Date” (as defined in Treas. Reg. 1.417(e)-1(b)(3)(iv)(B)), that occurs on or before the date the notice information described in Section 6.3 is provided to the Participant, provided the following conditions are satisfied:
		
	(a)
	The Participant’s spouse (including an alternate payee who is treated as the spouse under a qualified domestic relations order), determined as if the date distributions commence were the Participant’s Annuity Starting Date (as defined in Section 417(f)(2) of the Code), consents to the Participant’s election of a Retroactive Annuity Starting Date.  The spousal consent requirement of this Section 6.6(a) is satisfied if such consent satisfies the conditions of Section 6.3.3 above.




		
	(b)
	If the date distribution commences is more than 12 months from the Retroactive Annuity Starting Date, the distribution provided based on the Retroactive Annuity Starting Date shall satisfy Section 415 of the Code as though the date distribution commences is substituted for the annuity starting date for all purposes, including for purposes of determining the applicable interest rate and applicable mortality table (as defined in Article I).




		
	(c)
	If the distribution is payable as a lump sum, the distribution amount shall not be less than the present value of the Participant’s accrued benefit, determined (i) using the applicable mortality table and applicable interest rate as of the distribution date or (ii) using the applicable mortality table and applicable interest rate as of the Participant’s Retroactive Annuity Starting Date.  For purposes of this paragraph (c) applicable mortality table and applicable interest rate are defined in Article I.




If a Participant elects a Retroactive Annuity Starting Date the following provisions shall apply:
		
	(d)
	future periodic payments shall be the same as the future periodic payments, if any, that would have been paid with respect  to the Participant had payments actually commenced on the Retroactive Annuity Starting Date;

	the Participant shall receive a make-up payment to reflect any missed payment or payments for the period from the Retroactive Annuity Starting Date to the date of actual make-up payment (with appropriate adjustment for interest from the date the missed payment or payments would have been made to the date of the actual make-up payment);




		
	(f)
	the benefit determined as of the Retroactive Annuity Starting Date shall satisfy Section 417(e)(3) of the Code, if applicable, and Section 415 with the applicable interest rate and applicable mortality table (as defined in Article I) determined as of that date; and the Retroactive Annuity Starting Date shall not precede the date the Participant could have otherwise started receiving benefits under the Plan.

The Committee or its authorized delegatee shall review such actuarial cost method from time to time, and if it determines from review that such method is no longer appropriate, then it shall petition the Secretary of the Treasury for approval of a change of actuarial cost method.
10.3        Cost of the Plan


Annually the Committee or its authorized delegatee shall determine the normal cost of the Plan for the Plan Year and the amount (if any) of the unfunded past service cost on the basis of the actuarial cost method established for the Plan using actuarial assumptions which, in the aggregate, are reasonable.  The Committee or its authorized delegatee shall also determine the contributions required to be made for each Plan Year by the Participating Employers in order to satisfy the minimum funding standard (or alternative minimum funding standard) for such Plan Year determined pursuant to Sections 302 through 305 of ERISA and Section 412 of the Code.





10.4        Funding Policy


The Participating Employers shall cause contributions to be made to the Plan for each Plan Year in the amount necessary to satisfy the minimum funding standard (or alternative minimum funding standard) for such Plan Year; provided, however, that this obligation shall cease when the Plan is terminated.  In the case of a partial termination of the Plan, this obligation shall cease with respect to those Participants, Joint Annuitants and Beneficiaries who are affected by such partial termination.  Each contribution is conditioned upon its deductibility under Section 404 of the Code and shall be returned to the Participating Employers within one year after the disallowance of the deduction (to the extent disallowed).  Upon the Company’s written request, a contribution that was made by a mistake of fact shall be returned to the Participating Employer within one year after the payment of the contribution.
10.5        Cash Needs of the Plan


The Committee or its authorized delegatee from time to time shall estimate the benefits and administrative expenses to be paid out of the Plan during the period for which the estimate is made and shall also estimate the contributions to be made to the Plan during such period by the Participating Employers.  The Committee or its authorized delegatee shall inform the Trustees of the estimated cash needs of and contributions to the Plan during the period for which such estimates are made. Such estimates shall be made on an annual, quarterly, monthly or other basis, as the Committee shall determine.
10.6        Public Accountant


The Committee or its authorized delegatee shall engage an independent qualified public accountant to conduct such examinations and to render such opinions as may be required by Section 103(a)(3) of ERISA.  The Committee or its authorized delegatee in its discretion may remove and discharge the person so engaged, but in such case it shall engage a successor independent qualified public accountant to perform such examinations and to render such opinions.
10.7        Enrolled Actuary


The Committee or its authorized delegatee shall engage an enrolled actuary to prepare the actuarial statement described in Section 103(d) of ERISA and to render the opinion described in Section 103(a)(4) of ERISA.  The Committee or its authorized delegatee in its discretion may remove and discharge the person so engaged, but in such event it shall engage a successor enrolled actuary to perform such examination and render such opinion.





10.8        Basis of Payments to the Plan


All contributions to the Plan shall be made by the Participating Employers, and no contributions shall be required of or permitted by Participants. From time to time the Participating Employers shall make such contributions to the Plan as the Company determines to be necessary or desirable in order to fund the benefits provided by the Plan, and any expenses thereof which are paid out of the Trust Fund and in order to carry out the obligations of the Participating Employers set forth in Section 10.3.  All contributions to the Plan shall be held by the Trustee in accordance with the Trust Agreement.
10.9        Basis of Payments from the Plan


All benefits payable under the Plan shall be paid by the Trustee out of the Trust Fund pursuant to the directions of the Administrator or the Committee and the terms of the Trust Agreement.  The Trustee shall pay all proper expenses of the Plan and the Trust Fund out of the Trust Fund, except to the extent paid by the Participating Employers.
		
	10.10
	Funding Based Benefit Restrictions:  Limitations Applicable If the Plan's Adjusted Funding Target Attainment Percentage Is Less Than 80 Percent or If the Company, as Plan Sponsor, Is In Bankruptcy




		
	(a)
	Limitations Applicable If the Plan's Adjusted Funding Target Attainment Percentage Is Less Than 80 Percent, But Not Less Than 60 Percent. Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan, if the Plan's adjusted funding target attainment percentage for a Plan Year is less than 80 percent (or would be less than 80 percent to the extent described in Section 10.10(a)(ii) below) but is not less than 60 percent, then the limitations set forth in this Section 10.10(a) apply. 




		
	(i)
	50 Percent Limitation on Single Sum Payments, Other Accelerated Forms of Distribution, and Other Prohibited Payments. A Participant or Beneficiary is not permitted to elect, and the Plan shall not pay, a single sum payment or other optional form of benefit that includes a prohibited payment with an annuity starting date on or after the applicable Code Section 436 measurement date, and the Plan shall not make any payment for the purchase of an irrevocable commitment from an insurer to pay benefits or any other payment or transfer that is a prohibited payment, unless the present value of the portion of the benefit that is being paid in a prohibited payment does not exceed the lesser of: 









		
	(1)
	50 percent of the present value of the benefit payable in the optional form of benefit that includes the prohibited payment; or


 
		
	(2)
	100 percent of the PBGC maximum benefit guarantee amount (as defined in Section 1.436-1(d)(3)(iii)(C) of the Treasury Regulations).




The limitation set forth in this Section 10.10(a)(i) does not apply to any payment of a benefit which under Section 411(a)(11) of the Code may be immediately distributed without the consent of the Participant. If an optional form of benefit that is otherwise available under the terms of the Plan is not available to a Participant or Beneficiary as of the annuity starting date because of the application of the requirements of this Section 10.10(a)(i), the Participant or Beneficiary is permitted to elect to bifurcate the benefit into unrestricted and restricted portions (as described in Section 1.436-1(d)(3)(iii)(D) of the Treasury Regulations). The Participant or Beneficiary may also elect any other optional form of benefit otherwise available under the Plan at that annuity starting date that would satisfy the 50 percent/PBGC maximum benefit guarantee amount limitation described in this Section 10.10(a)(i), or may elect to defer the benefit in accordance with any general right to defer commencement of benefits under the Plan. 
		
	(ii)
	Plan Amendments Increasing Liability for Benefits. No amendment to the Plan that has the effect of increasing liabilities of the Plan by reason of increases in benefits, establishment of new benefits, changing the rate of benefit accrual, or changing the rate at which benefits become nonforfeitable shall take effect in a Plan Year if the adjusted funding target attainment percentage for the Plan Year is: 




		
	(1)
	Less than 80 percent; or


 
		
	(2)
	80 percent or more, but would be less than 80 percent if the benefits attributable to the amendment were taken into account in determining the adjusted funding target attainment percentage. 




The limitation set forth in this Section 10.10(a)(ii) does not apply to any amendment to the Plan that provides a benefit increase under a Plan formula that is not based on compensation, provided that the rate of such increase does not exceed the contemporaneous rate of increase in the average wages of Participants covered by the amendment. 





		
	(b)
	Limitations Applicable If the Plan's Adjusted Funding Target Attainment Percentage Is Less Than 60 Percent. Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan, if the Plan's adjusted funding target attainment percentage for a Plan Year is less than 60 percent (or would be less than 60 percent to the extent described in Section 10.10(b)(ii) below), then the limitations in this Section 10.10(b) apply. 




		
	(i)
	Single Sums, Other Accelerated Forms of Distribution, and Other Prohibited Payments Not Permitted. A Participant or Beneficiary is not permitted to elect, and the Plan shall not pay, a single sum payment or other optional form of benefit that includes a prohibited payment with an annuity starting date on or after the applicable Code Section 436 measurement date, and the Plan shall not make any payment for the purchase of an irrevocable commitment from an insurer to pay benefits or any other payment or transfer that is a prohibited payment. The limitation set forth in this Section 10.10(b)(i) does not apply to any payment of a benefit which under Section 411(a)(11) of the Code may be immediately distributed without the consent of the Participant. 




		
	(ii)
	Shutdown Benefits and Other Unpredictable Contingent Event Benefits Not Permitted to Be Paid. An unpredictable contingent event benefit with respect to an unpredictable contingent event occurring during a Plan Year shall not be paid if the adjusted funding target attainment percentage for the Plan Year is: 




		
	(1)
	Less than 60 percent; or 




		
	(2)
	60 percent or more, but would be less than 60 percent if the adjusted funding target attainment percentage were redetermined applying an actuarial assumption that the likelihood of occurrence of the unpredictable contingent event during the Plan Year is 100 percent.


 
		
	(iii)
	Benefit Accruals Frozen. Benefit accruals under the Plan shall cease as of the applicable Code Section 436 measurement date. In addition, if the Plan is required to cease benefit accruals under this Section 10.10(b)(iii), then the Plan is not permitted to be amended in a manner that would increase the liabilities of the Plan by reason of an increase in benefits or establishment of new benefits. 









		
	(c)
	Limitations Applicable If the Company, as Plan Sponsor, Is In Bankruptcy. Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan, a Participant or Beneficiary is not permitted to elect, and the Plan shall not pay, a single sum payment or other optional form of benefit that includes a prohibited payment with an annuity starting date that occurs during any period in which the Company, as Plan sponsor, is a debtor in a case under title 11, United States Code, or similar Federal or State law, except for payments made within a Plan Year with an annuity starting date that occurs on or after the date on which the Plan's enrolled actuary certifies that the Plan's adjusted funding target attainment percentage for that Plan Year is not less than 100 percent. In addition, during such period in which the Company, as Plan sponsor, is a debtor, the Plan shall not make any payment for the purchase of an irrevocable commitment from an insurer to pay benefits or any other payment or transfer that is a prohibited payment, except for payments that occur on a date within a Plan Year that is on or after the date on which the Plan's enrolled actuary certifies that the Plan's adjusted funding target attainment percentage for that Plan Year is not less than 100 percent. The limitation set forth in this Section 10.10(c) does not apply to any payment of a benefit which under Section 411(a)(11) of the Code may be immediately distributed without the consent of the Participant. 




		
	(d)
	Provisions Applicable After Limitations Cease to Apply. 




		
	(i)
	Resumption of Prohibited Payments. If a limitation on prohibited payments under Section 10.10(a)(i), Section 10.10(b)(i), or Section 10.10(c) applied to the Plan as of a Code Section 436 measurement date, but that limit no longer applies to the Plan as of a later Code Section 436 measurement date, then that limitation does not apply to benefits with annuity starting dates that are on or after that later Code Section 436 measurement date. 




		
	(ii)
	Resumption of Benefit Accruals. If a limitation on benefit accruals under Section 10.10(b)(iii) applied to the Plan as of a Code Section 436 measurement date, but that limitation no longer applies to the Plan as of a later Code Section 436 measurement date, then benefit accruals shall resume prospectively and that limitation does not apply to benefit accruals that are based on service on or after that later Code Section 436 measurement date, except as otherwise provided under the Plan. The Plan shall comply with the rules relating to partial years of participation and the prohibition on double proration under Department of Labor regulation 29 CFR § 2530.204-2(c) and (d). 









		
	(iii)
	Shutdown and Other Unpredictable Contingent Event Benefits. If an unpredictable contingent event benefit with respect to an unpredictable contingent event that occurs during the Plan Year is not permitted to be paid after the occurrence of the event because of the limitation of Section 10.10(b)(ii), but is permitted to be paid later in the same Plan Year (as a result of additional contributions or pursuant to the enrolled actuary's certification of the adjusted funding target attainment percentage for the Plan Year that meets the requirements of Section 1.436-1(g)(5)(ii)(B) of the Treasury Regulations), then that unpredictable contingent event benefit shall be paid, retroactive to the period that benefit would have been payable under the terms of the Plan (determined without regard to Section 10.10(b)(ii)). If the unpredictable contingent event benefit does not become payable during the Plan Year in accordance with the preceding sentence, then the Plan is treated as if it does not provide for that benefit.


 
		
	(iv)
	Treatment of Plan Amendments That Do Not Take Effect. If a Plan amendment does not take effect as of the effective date of the amendment because of the limitation of Section 10.10(a)(ii) or Section 10.10(b)(iii), but is permitted to take effect later in the same Plan Year (as a result of additional contributions or pursuant to the enrolled actuary's certification of the adjusted funding target attainment percentage for the Plan Year that meets the requirements of Section 1.436-1(g)(5)(ii)(C) of the Treasury Regulations), then the Plan amendment must automatically take effect as of the first day of the Plan Year (or, if later, the original effective date of the amendment). If the Plan amendment cannot take effect during the same Plan Year, then it shall be treated as if it were never adopted, unless the Plan amendment provides otherwise.




		
	(e)
	Notice Requirement. See Section 101(j) of ERISA for rules requiring the plan  administrator of a single company defined benefit pension plan to provide a written notice to participants and beneficiaries within 30 days after certain specified dates if the plan has become subject to a limitation described in Section 10.10(a)(i), Section 10.10(b), or 10.10(c). 









		
	(f)
	Methods to Avoid or Terminate Benefit Limitations. See Code Sections 436(b)(2), (c)(2), (e)(2), and (f) and Section 1.436-1(f) of the Treasury Regulations for rules relating to Company contributions and other methods to avoid or terminate the application of the limitations set forth in Sections 10.10(a) through 10.10(c) for a Plan Year. In general, the methods the Company, as Plan sponsor, may use to avoid or terminate one or more of the benefit limitations under 10.10(a) through 10.10(c) for a Plan Year include Company contributions and elections to increase the amount of Plan assets which are taken into account in determining the adjusted funding target attainment percentage, making a Company contribution that is specifically designated as a current year contribution that is made to avoid or terminate application of certain of the benefit limitations, or providing security to the Plan. 




		
	(g)
	Special Rules.




		
	(i)
	Rules of Operation for Periods Prior to and After Certification of Plan's Adjusted Funding Target Attainment Percentage. 




		
	(1)
	In General. Code Section 436(h) and Section 1.436-1(h) of the Treasury Regulations set forth a series of presumptions that apply (1) before the Plan 's enrolled actuary issues a certification of the Plan's adjusted funding target attainment percentage for the Plan Year and (2) if the Plan's enrolled actuary does not issue a certification of the Plan's adjusted funding target attainment percentage for the Plan Year before the first day of the 10th month of the Plan Year (or if the Plan's enrolled actuary issues a range certification for the Plan Year pursuant to Section 1.436-1(h)(4)(ii) of the Treasury Regulations but does not issue a certification of the specific adjusted funding target attainment percentage for the Plan by the last day of the Plan Year). For any period during which a presumption under Code Section 436(h) and Section 1.436-1(h) of the Treasury Regulations applies to the Plan, the limitations under Sections 10.10(a) through 10.10(c) are applied to the Plan  as if the adjusted funding target attainment percentage for the Plan Year were the presumed adjusted funding target attainment percentage determined under the rules of Code Section 436(h) and, Section 1.436-1(h)(1), (2), or (3) of the Treasury Regulations. These presumptions are set forth in Section 10.10(g)(i)(B) though 10.10(g)(i)(D). 









		
	(2)
	Presumption of Continued Underfunding Beginning First Day of Plan Year. If a limitation under Section 10.10(a), 10.10(b), or 10.10(c) applied to the Plan  on the last day of the preceding Plan Year, then, commencing on the first day of the current Plan Year and continuing until the Plan 's enrolled actuary issues a certification of the adjusted funding target attainment percentage for the Plan  for the current Plan Year, or, if earlier, the date Section 10.10(g)(i)(C) or Section 10.10(g)(i)(D) applies to the Plan: 




		
	(A)
	The adjusted funding target attainment percentage of the Plan for the current Plan Year is presumed to be the adjusted funding target attainment percentage in effect on the last day of the preceding Plan Year; and


 
		
	(B)
	The first day of the current Plan Year is a Code Section 436 measurement date. 




		
	(3)
	Presumption of Underfunding Beginning First Day of 4th Month. If the Plan 's enrolled actuary has not issued a certification of the adjusted funding target attainment percentage for the Plan Year before the first day of the 4th month of the Plan Year and the Plan’s adjusted funding target attainment percentage for the preceding Plan Year was either at least 60 percent but less than 70 percent or at least 80 percent but less than 90 percent, or is described in Section 1.436-1(h)(2)(ii) of the Treasury Regulations, then, commencing on the first day of the 4th month of the current Plan Year and continuing until the Plan 's enrolled actuary issues a certification of the adjusted funding target attainment percentage for the Plan  for the current Plan Year, or, if earlier, the date Section 10.10(g)(i)(D) applies to the Plan: 




		
	(A)
	The adjusted funding target attainment percentage of the Plan  for the current Plan Year is presumed to be the Plan 's adjusted funding target attainment percentage for the preceding Plan Year reduced by 10 percentage points; and 




		
	(B)
	The first day of the 4th month of the current Plan Year is a Code Section 436 measurement date. 









		
	(4)
	Presumption of Underfunding On and After First Day of 10th Month.  If the Plan 's enrolled actuary has not issued a certification of the adjusted funding target attainment percentage for the Plan Year before the first day of the 10th month of the Plan Year (or if the Plan's enrolled actuary has issued a range certification for the Plan Year pursuant to Section 1.436-1(h)(4)(ii) of the Treasury Regulations but has not issued a certification of the specific adjusted funding target attainment percentage for the Plan by the last day of the Plan Year), then, commencing on the first day of the 10th month of the current Plan Year and continuing through the end of the Plan Year: 




		
	(A)
	The adjusted funding target attainment percentage of the Plan for the current Plan Year is presumed to be less than 60 percent; and 




		
	(B)
	The first day of the 10th month of the current Plan Year is a Code Section 436 measurement date. 




		
	(ii)
	New Plans, Plan Termination, Certain Frozen Plans, and Other Special Rules.


 
		
	(1)
	First 5 Plan Years. The limitations in Section 10.10(a)(ii), Section 10.10(b)(ii), and Section 10.10(b)(iii) do not apply to a new plan for the first 5 plan years of the plan, determined under the rules of Code Section 436(i) and Section 1.436-1(a)(3)(i) of the Treasury Regulations. 




		
	(2)
	Plan Termination. The limitations on prohibited payments in Section 10.10(a)(i), Section 10.10(b)(i), and Section 10.10(c) do not apply to prohibited payments that are made to carry out the termination of the Plan  in accordance with applicable law. Any other limitations under this section of the Plan do not cease to apply as a result of termination of the Plan. 









		
	(3)
	Exception to Limitations on Prohibited Payments Under Certain Frozen Plans. The limitations on prohibited payments set forth in Sections 10.10(a)(i), 10.10(b)(i), and 10.10(c) do not apply for a Plan Year if the terms of the Plan , as in effect for the period beginning on September 1, 2005, and continuing through the end of the Plan Year, provide for no benefit accruals with respect to any Participants. This Section 10.10(g)(ii)(C) shall cease to apply as of the date any benefits accrue under the Plan  or the date on which a Plan  amendment that increases benefits takes effect. 




		
	(4)
	Special Rules Relating to Unpredictable Contingent Event Benefits and Plan Amendments Increasing Benefit Liability. During any period in which none of the presumptions under Section 10.10(g)(i) apply to the Plan and the Plan 's enrolled actuary has not yet issued a certification of the Plan's adjusted funding target attainment percentage for the Plan Year, the limitations under Section 10.10(a)(ii) and Section 10.10(b)(ii) shall be based on the inclusive presumed adjusted funding target attainment percentage for the Plan, calculated in accordance with the rules of Section 1.436-1(g)(2)(iii) of the Treasury Regulations. 




		
	(iii)
	Special Rules Under PRA 2010. 




		
	(1)
	Payments Under Social Security Leveling Options. For purposes of determining whether the limitations under Section 10.10(a)(i) or 10.10(b)(i) apply to payments under a social security leveling option, within the meaning of Code Section 436(j)(3)(C)(i), the adjusted funding target attainment percentage for a Plan Year shall be determined in accordance with the “Special Rule for Certain Years” under Code Section 436(j)(3) and any Treasury Regulations or other published guidance thereunder issued by the Internal Revenue Service. 









		
	(2)
	Limitation on Benefit Accruals.

ARTICLE XI


Plan Amendment or Termination


11.1        Plan Amendment or Termination


The Company may amend, modify or terminate the Plan at any time by resolution of the Board or by resolution of or other action recorded in the minutes of the Administrator or the Committee. Execution and delivery by the Chairman of the Board, the President, any Vice President of the Company or the Committee of an amendment to the Plan is conclusive evidence of the amendment, modification or termination.
11.2        Limitations on Plan Amendment


No Plan amendment can:
		
	(a)
	authorize any part of the Trust Fund to be used for, or diverted to, purposes other than the exclusive benefit of Participants or their Joint Annuitants and Beneficiaries;









		
	(b)
	decrease the accrued benefits of any Participant or his or her Joint Annuitant or Beneficiary under the Plan; or




		
	(c)
	except to the extent permitted by law, eliminate or reduce an early retirement benefit or retirement-type subsidy (as defined in Code Section 411) or an optional form of benefit with respect to service prior to the date the amendment is adopted or effective, whichever is later.




11.3        Effect of Plan Termination


Upon termination of the Plan, each Participant’s rights to benefits accrued hereunder shall be vested and nonforfeitable, and the Trust shall continue until the Trust Fund has been distributed as provided in Section 11.4.  Any other provision hereof notwithstanding, the Participating Employers shall have no obligation to continue making contributions to the Plan after termination of the Plan.  Except as otherwise provided in ERISA, neither the Participating Employers nor any other person shall have any liability or obligation to provide benefits hereunder after such termination in excess of the value of the Trust Fund.  Upon such termination, Participants, Joint Annuitants, and Beneficiaries shall obtain benefits solely from the Trust Fund.  Upon partial termination of the Plan, this Section 11.3 shall apply only with respect to such Participants, Joint Annuitants and Beneficiaries as are affected by such partial termination.





11.4        Allocation of Trust Fund on Termination


On termination of the Plan, the Trust Fund shall be allocated by the Administrator on an actuarial basis among Participants, Joint Annuitants and Beneficiaries in the manner prescribed by Section 4044 of ERISA.  Any residual assets of the Trust Fund remaining after such allocation shall be distributed to the Company if (a) all liabilities of the Plan to Participants, Joint Annuitants and Beneficiaries have been satisfied and (b) such a distribution does not contravene any provision of law.  The foregoing notwithstanding, if any remaining assets of the Plan are attributable to Employee Contributions, such assets shall be equitably distributed to the FMC Participants who made such contributions (or to their Beneficiaries) in accordance with their rate of contribution.  The benefit of any highly compensated employee or former employee (determined in accordance with section 414(g) of the Code and regulations thereunder) shall be limited to a benefit that is nondiscriminatory under section 401(a)(4) of the Code.  In the event of a partial termination of the Plan, the Administrator shall arrange for the division of the Trust Fund, on a nondiscriminatory basis to the extent required by section 401 of the Code, into the portion attributable to those Participants, Joint Annuitants and Beneficiaries who are not affected by such partial termination and the portion attributable to such persons who are so affected.  The portion of the Trust Fund attributable to persons who are so affected shall be allocated in the manner prescribed by section 4044 of ERISA.


ARTICLE XII


Miscellaneous Provisions


12.1        Subsequent Changes


All benefits to which any Participant, Joint Annuitant, or Beneficiary may be entitled hereunder shall be determined under the Plan in effect when the Participant ceases to be an Eligible Employee (or under the FMC Plan, as of the date each FMC Participant who is not an Employee ceased being an eligible employee under the FMC Plan) and shall not be affected by any subsequent change in the provisions of the Plan, unless the Participant again becomes an Eligible Employee.





12.2        Plan Mergers


The Plan shall not be merged or consolidated with any other plan, and no assets or liabilities of the Plan shall be transferred to any other plan, unless each Participant would receive a benefit immediately after such merger, consolidation or transfer (if the Plan then terminated) which is equal to or greater than the benefit such Participant would have been entitled to receive immediately before such merger, consolidation or transfer (if the Plan had then been terminated).  A list of plans which were merged into the FMC Plan since May 27, 1994 and whose assets were transferred to the FMCTI Plan in connection with the FTI Spinoff and whose assets were transferred to this Plan in connection with the FMCTI Spinoff is attached hereto and made a part hereof as Exhibit C.
12.3        No Assignment of Property Rights


The interest or property rights of any person in the Plan, in the Trust Fund or in any payment to be made under the Plan shall not be assignable nor be subject to alienation or option, either by voluntary or involuntary assignment or by operation of law, including (without limitation) bankruptcy, garnishment, attachment or other creditor’s process, and any act in violation of this Section 12.3 shall be void.  This provision shall not apply to a “qualified domestic relations order” defined in Code Section 414(p).  The Company shall establish a written procedure to determine the qualified status of domestic relations orders and to administer distributions under such qualified orders.





In addition, the prohibition of this Section 12.3 will not apply to any offset of a Participant’s benefit under the Plan against an amount the Participant is ordered or required to pay to the Plan under a judgment, order, decree or settlement agreement that meets the requirements as set forth in this Section 12.3.  The Participant must be ordered or required to pay the Plan under a judgment of conviction for a crime involving the Plan, under a civil judgment (including a consent order or decree) entered by a court in an action brought in connection with a violation (or alleged violation) of part 4 of subtitle B of title I of ERISA, or pursuant to a settlement agreement between the Secretary of Labor and the Participant in connection with a violation (or alleged violation) of that part 4.  This judgment, order, decree or settlement agreement must expressly provide for the offset of all or part of the amount that must be paid to the Plan against the Participant’s benefit under the Plan.  In addition, if a Participant is entitled to receive a 50% Joint and Survivor Annuity under Section 6.1 of the Plan or a Survivor’s Benefit under Article VII of the Plan, and the Participant is married at the time at which the offset is to be made, the Participant’s spouse must consent to the offset in accordance with the spousal consent requirements of Section 6.3.3 of the Plan, an election to waive the right of the spouse to the 50% Joint and Survivor Annuity (made in accordance with Section 6.3 of the Plan) or to the Survivor’s Benefit (made in accordance with Article VII of the Plan) must be in effect, the spouse is ordered or required in the judgment, order, decree, or settlement to pay an amount to the Plan in connection with a violation of Part 4 of subtitle B or ERISA Title I, or the spouse retains in the judgment, order, decree, or settlement the right to receive the survivor annuity under the 50% Joint and Survivor Annuity or under the Survivor’s Benefit, determined in the following manner: the Participant terminated employment on the date of the offset, there was no offset, the Plan permitted the commencement of benefits only on or after Normal Retirement Age, the Plan provided only the minimum-required qualified joint and survivor annuity, and the amount of the Survivor’s Benefit under the Plan is equal to the amount of the survivor annuity payable under the minimum-required qualified joint and survivor annuity.  For purposes of this Section 12.3 the term “minimum-required qualified joint and survivor annuity” means a qualified joint and survivor annuity which is the actuarial equivalent of the Participant’s accrued benefit and under which the survivor’s annuity is 50% of the amount of the annuity which is payable during the joint lives of the Participant and the Participant’s spouse.
12.4        Beneficiary


The Beneficiary of a Participant shall be the person or persons so designated by such Participant.  If no Beneficiary has been designated or if the designated Beneficiary is not living when a Plan Benefit is to be distributed, the Beneficiary shall be such Participant’s spouse if then living or, if not, such Participant’s then living children in equal shares or, if there are no children, such Participant’s estate.  A Participant may revoke and change a designation of a Beneficiary at any time.  A designation of a Beneficiary, or any revocation and change thereof, shall be effective only if it is made in writing in a form acceptable to the Administrator and is received by it prior to the Participant’s death.





12.5        Benefits Payable to Minors, Incompetents and Others


If any benefit is payable to a minor, an incompetent, or a person otherwise under a legal disability, or to a person the Administrator reasonably believes to be physically or mentally incapable of handling and disposing of his or her property, whether because of his or her advanced age, illness, or other physical or mental impairment, the Administrator has the power to apply all or any part of the benefit directly to the care, comfort, maintenance, support, education, or use of the person, or to pay all or any part of the benefit to the person’s parent, guardian, committee, conservator, or other legal representative, wherever appointed, to the individual with whom the person is living or to any other individual or entity having the care and control of the person.  The Plan, the Administrator and any other Plan fiduciary will have fully discharged all responsibilities to the Participant, Joint Annuitant or Beneficiary entitled to a payment by making payment under the preceding sentence.
12.6        Employment Rights


Nothing in the Plan shall be deemed to give any person a right to remain in the employ of the Company and Affiliates or affect any right of the Company or any Affiliate to terminate a person’s employment with or without cause.
12.7        Proof of Age and Marriage


Participants and Joint Annuitants shall furnish proof of age and marital status satisfactory to the Administrator at such time or times as it shall prescribe.  The Administrator may delay the disbursement of any benefits under the Plan until all pertinent information with respect to age or marital status has been furnished and then make payment retroactively.
12.8        Small Annuities


If the sum of (a) the lump sum Actuarial Equivalent value of a Normal, Early, or Deferred Retirement Benefit under Article III, Termination Benefit (payable at the Participant’s Normal Retirement Date) under Article IV, or Survivor’s Benefit under Article VII, excluding any Aetna or Prudential nonparticipating annuity; and (b) the lump sum Actuarial Equivalent value of any Aetna or Prudential nonparticipating annuity is equal to $5,000 (effective January 1, 2005, $1,000) (or such other amount as may be prescribed in or under the Code) or less, such amounts shall be paid in a lump sum as soon as administratively practicable following the Participant’s retirement, termination of employment or death.





For lump sum distributions paid on or after January 1, 2003, if the Participant is thereafter reemployed by the Company, the Participant’s subsequent benefit will be reduced by the lump sum Actuarial Equivalent value of the lump sum distribution previously paid to the Participant.  For lump sum distributions paid prior to January 1, 2003, if a Participant who has received such a lump sum distribution is thereafter reemployed by the Company, the Participant shall have the option to repay to the Plan the amount of such distribution, together with interest at the rate of 5% per annum (or such other rate as may be prescribed pursuant to section 411(c)(2)(C)(III) of the Code), compounded annually from the date of the distribution to the date of repayment.  If a reemployed Participant does not make such repayment, no part of the Period of Service with respect to which the lump sum distribution was made shall count as Years of Vesting Service or Years of Credited Service.
12.9        Controlling Law


The Plan and all rights thereunder shall be interpreted and construed in accordance with ERISA and, to the extent that state law is not preempted by ERISA, the law of the State of Illinois.
12.10    Direct Rollover Option


Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary that would otherwise limit a distributee’s election under this Section 12.10, a distributee may elect, at the time and in the manner prescribed by the Administrator, to have any portion of an eligible rollover distribution paid directly to an eligible retirement plan specified by the distributee in a direct rollover.
		
	(a)
	As used in this Section 12.10, an “eligible rollover distribution” means any distribution of all or any portion of the balance to the credit of the distributee, except that an eligible rollover distribution does not include:  any distribution that is one of a series of substantially equal periodic payments (not less frequently than annually) made for the life (or life expectancy) of the distributee or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the distributee and the distributee’s designated beneficiary, or for a specified period of 10 years or more; any distribution to the extent such distribution is required under Section 401(a)(9) of the Code; the portion of any distribution that is not includible in gross income (determined without regard to the exclusion for net unrealized appreciation with respect to employer securities); and any other distribution(s) that is reasonably expected to total less than $200 during a year.









A portion of a distribution shall not fail to be an eligible rollover distribution because the portion consists of after-tax employee contributions which are not includible in gross income.  However, such portion may be transferred only to an individual retirement account or annuity described in Section 408(a) or (b) of the Code, or to a qualified defined contribution plan described in Section 401(a) or 403(a) of the Code that agrees to separately account for amounts so transferred, including separately accounting for the portion of such distribution which is includible in gross income and the portion of such distribution which is not so includible.
Notwithstanding the preceding to the contrary, effective for Plan Years beginning on or after January 1, 2007, a Participant may also elect to make a direct rollover of after-tax employee contributions to a qualified plan or to a 403(b) plan that agrees to separately account for such amounts.
		
	(b)
	As used in this Section 12.10, an “eligible retirement plan” means an individual retirement account described in Section 408(a) of the Code, an individual retirement annuity described in Section 408(b) of the Code, an annuity plan described in Section 403(a) of the Code, a qualified trust described in Section 401(a) of the Code, that accepts the distributee’s eligible rollover distribution and an annuity contract described in Section 403(b) of the Code or an eligible retirement plan under Section 457(b) of the Code which is maintained by a state, political subdivision of a state, or an agency or instrumentality of a state or political subdivision of a state and which agrees to separately account for amounts transferred into such plan from this Plan.  The definition of “eligible retirement plan” shall also apply in the case of a distribution to a surviving spouse, or to a spouse or former spouse who is the alternate payee under a qualified domestic relations order, as defined in Section 414(p) of the Code.  For distributions made on or after January 1, 2008, an “eligible retirement plan” shall also include a Roth IRA defined in Section 408A(b) of the Code.




		
	(c)
	As used in this Section 12.10, a “distributee” includes an Employee or former Employee. In addition, the Employee’s or former Employee’s surviving spouse and the Employee’s or former Employee’s spouse or former spouse who is the alternate payee under a qualified domestic relations order, as defined in Section 414(p) of the Code, are distributees with regard to the interest of the spouse or former spouse.









Effective January 1, 2010, and notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, with respect to any portion of a distribution from the Plan of a deceased Employee, an individual who is the designated Beneficiary (as defined by Code Section 401(a)(9)(E)) of the Employee and who is not the surviving spouse of the Employee shall be permitted to make a direct trustee-to-trustee transfer of the distribution to an individual retirement plan described in Code Section 402(c)(8)(B)(i) or (ii) established for the purposes of receiving the distribution on behalf of such designated Beneficiary.  In such event, the transfer shall be treated as an “eligible rollover distribution,” the individual retirement plan shall be treated as an inherited individual retirement account or individual retirement annuity (within the meaning of Code Section 408(d)(3)(C)) and Code Section 401(a)(9)(B) (other than clause (iv) thereof) shall apply to such individual retirement plan.As used in this Section 12.10, a “direct rollover” is a payment by the Plan to the eligible retirement plan specified by the distributee.
12.11        Claims Procedure


12.11.1    Any application for benefits under the Plan and all inquiries concerning the Plan shall be submitted to the Company at such address as may be announced to Participants from time to time.  Applications for benefits shall be in the form and manner prescribed by the Company and shall be signed by the Participant or, in the case of a benefit payable after the death of the Participant, by the Participant’s Surviving Spouse or Beneficiary, as the case may be.


12.11.2    The Plan Administrator shall give written or electronic notice of its decision on any application to the applicant within 90 days of receipt of the application.  Electronic notification may be used, at the discretion of the Plan Administrator (or Review Panel, as discussed below).  If special circumstances require a longer period of time, the Plan Administrator shall provide notice to the applicant within the initial 90-day period, explaining the special circumstances requiring the extension of time and the date by which the Plan expects to render a benefit determination.  A decision will be given as soon as possible, but no later than 180 days after receipt of the application.  In the event any application for benefits is denied in whole or in part, the Plan Administrator shall notify the applicant in writing or electronic notification of the right to a review of the denial.  Such notice shall set forth, in a manner calculated to be understood by the applicant:  the specific reasons for the denial; the specific references to the Plan provisions on which the denial is based; a description of any information or material necessary to perfect the application and an explanation of why such material is necessary; and a description of the Plan’s review procedures and the applicable time limits to such procedures, including a statement of the applicant’s right to bring a civil action under ERISA Section 502(a) following a denial on review.







12.11.3    The Company shall appoint a “Review Panel,” which shall consist of three or more individuals who may (but need not) be employees of the Company.  The Review Panel shall be the named fiduciary that has the authority to act with respect to any appeal from a denial of benefits under the Plan, and shall hold meetings at least quarterly, as needed.  The Review Panel shall have the authority to further delegate its responsibilities to two or more individuals who may (but need not) be employees of the Company.


12.11.4    Any person (or his authorized representative) whose application for benefits is denied in whole or in part may appeal the denial by submitting to the Review Panel a request for a review of the application within 60 days after receiving notice of the denial.  The Review Panel shall give the applicant or such representative the opportunity to submit written comments, documents, and other information relating to the claim; and an opportunity to review, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records, and other relevant information (other than legally privileged documents) in preparing such request for review.  The request for review shall be in writing and addressed as follows:  “Review Panel of the Employee Welfare Benefits Plan Committee, 1803 Gears Road, Houston, TX 77067-4097.”  The request for review shall set forth all of the grounds on which it is based, all facts in support of the request and any other matters that the applicant deems pertinent.  The Review Panel may require the applicant to submit such additional facts, documents, or other material as it may deem necessary or appropriate in making its review.  The Review Panel will consider all comments, documents, and other information submitted by the applicant regardless of whether such information was submitted or considered during the initial benefit determination.


12.11.5    The Review Panel shall act upon each request for review within 60 days after receipt thereof.  If special circumstances require a longer period of time, the Review Panel shall so notify the applicant within the initial 60 days, explaining the special circumstances requiring the extension of time and the date by which the Review Panel expects to render a benefit determination.  A decision will be given as soon as possible, but no later than 120 days after receipt of the request for review.  The Review Panel shall give notice of its decision to the Company and the applicant.  In the event the Review Panel confirms the denial of the application for benefits in whole or in part, such notice shall set forth in a manner calculated to be understood by the applicant, the specific reasons for such denial and specific references to the Plan provisions on which the decision is based.  If such an extension of time for review is required because of special circumstances, the Plan Administrator shall provide the applicant with written notice of the extension, describing the special circumstances and the date as of which the benefit determination will be made, prior to the commencement of the extension.  In the event the Review Panel confirms the denial of the application for benefits in whole or in part, such notice shall set forth in a manner calculated to be understood by the applicant:  the specific reasons for such denial; the specific references to the Plan provisions on which the decision is based; the applicant’s right, upon request and free of charge, to receive reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents and other relevant information (other than legally-privileged documents and information); and a statement of the applicant’s right to bring a civil action under ERISA Section 502(a).







12.11.6    The Review Panel shall establish such rules and procedures, consistent with ERISA and the Plan, as it may deem necessary or appropriate in carrying out its responsibilities under this Section 12.11.


12.11.7    To the extent an application for benefits as a result of a Disability requires the Plan Administrator or the Review Panel, as applicable, to make a determination of Disability under the terms of the Plan, such determination shall be subject to all of the general rules described in this Section 12.11, except as they are expressly modified by this Section 12.11.7.


		
	(a)
	If the applicant’s claim is for benefits as a result of Disability, then the initial decision on a claim for benefits will be made within 45 days after the Plan receives the applicant’s claim, unless special circumstances require additional time, in which case the Plan Administrator will notify the applicant before the end of the initial 45-day period of an extension of up to 30 days.  If necessary, the Plan Administrator may notify the applicant, prior to the end of the initial 30-day extension period, of a second extension of up to 30 days.  If an extension is due to the applicant’s failure to supply the necessary information, the notice of extension will describe the additional information and the applicant will have 45 days to provide the additional information.  Moreover, the period for making the determination will be delayed from the date the notification of extension was sent out until the applicant responds to the request for additional information.  No additional extensions may be made, except with the applicant’s voluntary consent.  The contents of the notice shall be the same as described in Section 12.11.12 above.  If a benefit claim as a result of Disability is denied in whole or in part, the applicant (or his authorized representative) will receive written or electronic notification, as described in Section 12.11.2.




		
	(b)
	If an internal rule, guideline, protocol or similar criterion is relied upon in making the adverse determination, then the notice to the applicant of the adverse decision will either set forth the internal rule, guideline, protocol or similar criterion, or will state that such was relied upon and will be provided free of charge to the applicant upon request (to the extent not legally-privileged) and if the applicant’s claim was denied based on a medical necessity or experimental treatment of similar exclusion or limit, then the applicant will be provided a statement either explaining the decision or indicating that an explanation will be provided to the applicant free of charge upon request.









		
	(c)
	The Review Panel, as described above in Section 12.11.3 shall be the named fiduciary with the authority to act on any appeal from a denial of benefits as a result of Disability under the Plan.  Any applicant (or his authorized representative) whose application for benefits as a result of Disability is denied in whole or in part may appeal the denial by submitting to the Review Panel a request for a review of the application within 180 days after receiving notice of the denial.  The request for review shall be in the form and manner prescribed by the Review Panel and addressed as follows:  “Review Panel of the Employee Welfare Benefits Plan Committee, 1803 Gears Road, Houston, TX  77067-4097.”  In the event of such an appeal for review, the provisions of Section 12.11.4 regarding the applicant’s rights and responsibilities shall apply.  Upon request, the Review Panel will identify any medical or vocational expert whose advice was obtained on behalf of the Review Panel in connection with an adverse benefit determination, without regard to whether the advice was relied upon in making the benefit determination.  The entity or individual appointed by the Review Panel to review the claim will consider the appeal de novo, without any deference to the initial benefit denial.  The review will not include any person who participated in the initial benefit denial or who is the subordinate of a person who participated in the initial benefit denial.




		
	(d)
	If the initial benefit denial was based in whole or in part on a medical judgment, then the Review Panel will consult with a health care professional who has appropriate training and experience in the field of medicine involved in the medical judgment, and who was neither consulted in connection with the initial benefit determination nor is the subordinate of any person who was consulted in connection with that determination; and upon notifying the applicant of an adverse determination on review, include in the notice either an explanation of the clinical basis for the determination, applying the terms of the Plan to the applicant’s medical circumstances, or a statement that such explanation will be provided free of charge upon request.









		
	(e)
	A decision on review shall be made promptly, but not later than 45 days after receipt of a request for review, unless special circumstances require an extension of time for processing.  If an extension is required, the applicant will be notified before the end of the initial 45-day period  that an extension of time is required and the anticipated date that the review will be completed.  A decision will be given as soon as possible, but not later than 90 days after receipt of a request for review.  The Review Panel shall give notice of its decision to the applicant; such notice shall comply with the requirements set forth in Section 12.11.5.  In addition, if the applicant’s claim was denied based on a medical necessity or experimental treatment or similar exclusion, the applicant will be provided a statement explaining the decision, or a statement providing that such explanation will be furnished to the applicant free of charge upon request.  The notice shall also contain the following statement:  “You and your Plan may have other voluntary alternative dispute resolution options, such as mediation.  One way to find out what may be available is to contact your local U.S. Department of Labor Office and your State insurance regulatory agency.”




12.11.8    No legal or equitable action for benefits under the Plan shall be brought unless and until the applicant (a) has submitted a written application for benefits in accordance with Section 12.11.1 (or 12.11.7(a), as applicable), (b) has been notified by the Plan Administrator that the application is denied, (c) has filed a written request for a review of the application in accordance with Section 12.11.4 (or 12.11.7(c), as applicable); and (d) has been notified that the Review Panel has affirmed the denial of the application; provided that legal action may be brought after the Review Panel has failed to take any action on the claim within the time prescribed in Section 12.11.5 (or 12.11.7(e), as applicable).  An applicant may not bring an action for benefits in accordance with this Section 12.11.8 later than 90 days after the Review Panel denies the applicant’s application for benefits.


12.12    Participation in the Plan by an Affiliate


12.12.1    With the consent of the Board, any Affiliate, by appropriate action of its board of directors, a general partner or the sole proprietor, as the case may be, may adopt the Plan and determine the classes of its Employees that will be Eligible Employees.


12.12.2    A Participating Employer will have no power with respect to the Plan except as specifically provided herein.







12.13    Action by Participating Employers


Any action required to be taken by the Company pursuant to any Plan provisions will be evidenced in the manner set forth in Section 11.1.  Any action required to be taken by a Participating Employer will be evidenced by a resolution of the Participating Employer’s board of directors (or an authorized committee of that board).  Participating Employer action may also be evidenced by a written instrument executed by any person or persons authorized to take the action by the Participating Employer’s board of directors, any authorized committee of that board, or the stockholders.  A copy of any written instrument evidencing the action by the Company or Participating Employer must be delivered to the secretary or assistant secretary of the Company or Participating Employer.

Aggregation Group    means the group of plans in a Mandatory Aggregation Group, if any, that includes the Plan, unless including additional Related Plans in the group would prevent the Plan for being a Top Heavy Plan, in which case Aggregation Group means the group of plans in a Permissive Aggregation Group, if any, that includes the Plan.
Compensation    means compensation as defined in Code Section 415(c)(3) and Treasury regulations thereunder.  For purposes of determining who is a Key Employee, Compensation will be applied by taking into account amounts paid by Affiliates who are not Participating Employers, as well as amounts paid by Participating Employers, and without applying the exclusions for amounts paid by a Participating Employer to cover an Employee’s nonqualified deferred compensation FICA tax obligations and for gross-up payments on such FICA tax payments.
Determination Date    means, for a Plan Year, the last day of the preceding Plan Year.  If the Plan is part of an Aggregation Group, the Determination Date for each other plan will be, for any Plan Year, the Determination Date for that other plan that falls in the same calendar year as the Determination Date for the Plan.





Key Employee    means an employee described in Code Section 416(i)(1), the regulations promulgated thereunder and other guidance of general applicability issued thereunder.  Generally, a Key Employee is an Employee or former Employee who, at any time during the Plan Year containing the Determination Date is:

	(d)
	had a participant who was a Key Employee; or




		
	(e)

Non-Key Employee    means an Employee or former Employee who is not a Key Employee.
Permissive Aggregation Group    means the group of plans consisting of the plans in a Mandatory Aggregation Group with the Plan, plus any other Related Plan or Plans that, when considered as a part of the Aggregation Group, does not cause the Aggregation Group to fail to satisfy the requirements of Code Section 401(a)(4) or 410(b).

In the case of distributions made after the valuation date and prior to the Determination Date, such distributions are not included as distributions for top heavy purposes to the extent that such distributions are already included in the Participant’s present value of accrued benefits as of the valuation date.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, all distributions, including distributions under a terminated plan which if it had not been terminated would have been required to be included in an Aggregation Group, will be counted;




		
	(k)
	any Employee Contributions, whether voluntary or mandatory.  However, amounts attributable to tax deductible Qualified Voluntary Employee Contributions shall not be considered to be a part of the Participant’s present value of accrued benefits;




		
	(l)
	with respect to unrelated rollovers and plan-to-plan transfers (ones which are both initiated by the Participant and made from a plan maintained by one employer to a plan maintained by another employer), if this Plan provides for rollovers or plan-to-plan transfers, it shall always consider such rollover or plan-to-plan transfer as a distribution for the purposes of this Section 13.1.  If this Plan is the plan accepting such rollovers or plan to-plan transfers, it shall not consider such rollovers or plan-to-plan transfers, as part of the Participant’s present value of accrued benefits;




		
	(m)
	with respect to related rollovers and plan-to-plan transfers (ones either not initiated by the Participant or made to a plan maintained by the same employer), if this Plan provides the rollover or plan-to-plan transfer, it shall not be counted as a distribution for purposes of this Section.  If this Plan is the plan accepting such rollover or plan-to-plan transfer, it shall consider such rollover or plan-to-plan transfer as part of the Participant’s present value of accrued benefits, irrespective of the date on which such rollover or plan-to-plan transfer is accepted; and

In determining the sum of the Present Value of Accrued Benefits and/or Aggregate Accounts for all employees, the present value of accrued benefits and/or Aggregate Accounts for any Non-key Employee who was a Key Employee for any Plan Year preceding the Plan Year that contains the Determination Date will be excluded.
Super Top Heavy Plan    means the Plan when it is described in the second sentence of Section 13.2.
A Top Heavy Aggregation Group    exists in any Plan Year for which, as of the Determination Date, the sum of the Present Value of Accrued Benefits for Key Employees under all plans in the Aggregation Group exceeds 60% of the sum of the Present Value of Accrued Benefits for all employees under all plans in the Aggregation Group. In determining the sum of the Present Value of Accrued Benefits for all employees, the Present Value of Accrued Benefits for any Non-key Employee who was a Key Employee for any Plan Year preceding the Plan Year that contains the Determination Date will be excluded.

13.3.2    For purposes of providing the minimum benefit under Code Section 416, a Non-key Employee who is not a Participant solely because (a) his compensation is below a stated amount or (b) he declined to make mandatory contributions to the Plan will be considered to be a Participant.


13.3.3    For purposes of this Section 13.3, Years of Vesting Service for any Plan Year during which the Plan was not a Top Heavy Plan shall be disregarded.

	Years of Service
	Percentage Vested

	1-2
	0%

	3

If a Participant fails to make such election, then such Participant shall be subject to the new vesting schedule.  The Participant’s election period shall commence on the adoption date of the amendment and shall end 60 days after the latest of:


		
	(a)
	the adoption date of the amendment,




		
	(b)
	the effective date of the amendment, or
