5









 





ARTICLE III

BENEFITS




     3.1 Benefit Amount.



          (a) Normal Retirement Benefit. Upon a Participant’s Separation from Service on or
after he attains Normal Retirement Age and for a reason other than his death, the Participant shall
be entitled to a Normal Retirement Benefit in an amount equal to his Accrued Benefit determined as
of the date his employment so terminates.




          (b) Termination Before Normal Retirement Date. Except as provided in Section 3.3,
upon a Participant’s Separation from Service before his Normal Retirement Date for any reason,
neither the Participant nor his Surviving Spouse (if any) shall be entitled to any benefit or
payment under the Plan.




     3.2 Payment of Benefit.



          (a) Commencement and Timing. A Participant’s Normal Retirement Benefit determined
under Section 3.1 shall commence as of the beginning of the seventh (7th) month
following his Benefit Commencement Date, other than a Benefit Commencement Date by reason of the
Participant’s death. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, during the period
between the Participant’s Benefit Commencement Date and the date on which payments begin under this
Section 3.2, the payments to which the Participant would be entitled during the six month period
following the Participant’s Separation from Service shall be accumulated and paid to the
Participant with Interest in a lump sum as of the beginning of the seventh (7th) month.
Monthly payments, if any, due under the terms of the Plan shall be paid in the normal course after
such six month delay. A Participant’s Normal Retirement Benefit determined under Section 3.1 shall
commence as soon as practicable following his Benefit Commencement Date if such Benefit
Commencement Date occurs by reason of the Participant’s death.




          (b) Form of Payment for Retirement Benefit.




               (i) Normal Form of Payment. Except as provided in subsection (ii) hereof, a
Participant’s Normal Retirement Benefit or Early Retirement Benefit shall be paid in a maximum of
120 monthly installments, with payments to cease after the payment due for the month in which the
Participant’s death occurs.



               (ii) Optional Form of Payment. A Participant may irrevocably elect, within thirty
(30) days of becoming eligible to participate in the Plan, to have his Normal Retirement Benefit
paid in the form of a Joint and 50% Survivor Annuity which shall be the Actuarial Equivalent of the
Participant’s Normal Retirement Benefit. If a Participant does not elect an optional form of
payment at the time he first becomes eligible to participate in the Plan, his benefit shall be paid
in the form described in subsection (i) unless, no later than December 31, 2006, the Participant
makes a one-time election at a time and in a manner determined by the Administrative Committee to
receive such benefit in the form of a Joint and 50% Survivor Annuity permitted hereunder; provided
however that such election shall not cause a benefit to be paid in the 2006 calendar year or change
the form or timing of a benefit paid in 2006.



6









 





     3.3 Change in Control.



     In the event of a Change in Control of the Company, every Participant shall become fully
vested in the total amount of his Accrued Benefit determined as of the date the Change in Control
occurs. Following a Change in Control, when a Participant terminates employment with the Company
and all Affiliates, he shall be entitled to a lump-sum payment that is the Actuarial Equivalent of
his Accrued Benefit, determined as of the date his employment so terminates, adjusted to reflect
the lump sum form of payment and commencement of the Participant’s benefit prior to his Normal
Retirement Age. Payments will commence as of the beginning of the seventh (7th) month
following the Participant’s termination of employment. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the
contrary, during the period between the Participant’s termination of employment and the date on
which payments begin under this Section 3.3, the payments to which the Participant would be
entitled during the six month period following the Participant’s termination of employment shall be
accumulated and paid to the Participant with Interest in a lump sum as of the beginning of the
seventh (7th) month. Monthly payments, if any, due under the terms of the Plan shall be
paid in the normal course after such six month delay. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the
contrary, if a Participant is receiving a Normal Retirement Benefit in the form of a Joint and 50%
Survivor Annuity under Section 3.2(b)(2) as of the date a Change in Control occurs, the remaining
portion of his Normal Retirement Benefit shall be distributed immediately in a lump sum payment
which is the actuarial equivalent of such optional form of payment.



     3.4 Death Benefit.



     In the event a Participant (i) commences to receive benefits in the normal form provided in
Section 3.2(b)(i) but dies before he has received the entirety of his Normal Retirement Benefit,
(ii) continues in employment with the Company after attaining his Normal Retirement Age but dies
prior to commencing his Normal Retirement Benefit, then the Participant’s Surviving Spouse shall be
entitled to a Death Benefit in an amount equal to 50% of the undistributed balance of the
Participant’s Normal Retirement Benefit as of the date of the Participant’s death. Such Death
Benefit shall be paid at the same time the Participant would have received such benefits.



ARTICLE IV

CLAIMS




     4.1 Claims Procedure. Claims for benefits under the Plan may be filed with the
Administrative Committee. Written or electronic notice of the disposition of a claim shall be
furnished to the claimant within 90 days after the claim is filed. If additional time (up to 90
days) is required by the Administrative Committee to process the claim, written notice shall be
provided to the claimant within the initial 90-day period. In such event, written notice of the
extension shall be furnished to the claimant within the initial 30-day extension period. Any
extension notice shall indicate the special circumstances requiring an extension of time and the
date by which the Administrative Committee expects to render a determination.



7









 





     In the event the claim is denied in whole or in part, the notice shall set forth in language
calculated to be understood by the claimant:



          (i) the specific reason or reasons for the denial,




          (ii) specific reference to pertinent Plan provisions on which the denial is based,




          (iii) a description of any additional material or information necessary for the claimant to
perfect the claim and an explanation of why such material or information is necessary, and




          (iv) a description of the Plan’s review procedures and the time limits applicable to such
procedures, including a statement of the claimant’s right, if any, to bring a civil action under
section 502(a) of the ERISA, following an adverse benefit determination on review.




     4.2 Claims Review Procedure. Any Participant or beneficiary or beneficiaries who has
been denied a benefit by a decision of the Administrative Committee pursuant to Section 4.1 shall
be entitled to request the Administrative Committee, to give further consideration to his or her
claim by filing a written application for review with the Administrative Committee no later than 60
days after receipt of the written notification provided for in Section 4.1. The claimant may
submit written comments, documents, records, and other information relating to the claim for
benefits which will all be taken into account during the review of the claim, whether or not such
information was submitted or considered in the initial benefit determination. The claimant shall
be provided, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents,
records and other information relevant to the claimant’s claim for benefits.



     Upon receiving such written application for review, the Administrative Committee may schedule
a hearing for purposes of reviewing the claimant’s claim, which hearing shall take place not more
than 30 days from the date on which the Administrative Committee received such written application
for review. All claimants requesting a review of the decision denying their claim for benefits may
employ counsel for purposes of the hearing.



     Written or electronic notice of the disposition of a claim shall be furnished to the claimant
within 60 days after the application for review is filed. If additional time (up to 60 days) is
required by the Administrative Committee to process the claim, written notice shall be provided to
the claimant within the initial 60-day period. The extension notice shall indicate the special
circumstances requiring an extension of time and the date by which the Administrative Committee
expects to render a determination.



          In the case of an adverse determination, the decision on review shall include specific reasons
for the decision, in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant, and specific references
to the pertinent Plan provisions on which the decision is based. The decision on review shall also
include:




8









 








          (i) a statement that the claimant is entitled to receive, upon request and free of charge,
reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records and other information relevant to the
claimant’s claim for benefits, and




          (ii) a statement describing any voluntary appeal procedures offered by the Plan, and a
statement of the claimant’s right, if any, to bring an action under Section 502(a) of ERISA.




ARTICLE V

SOURCE OF FUNDS TRUST




     5.1 Source of Funds.



     Except as provided in this Section and Section 5.2, the Company shall provide the benefits
described in the Plan from the general assets of the Company. In any event, the Company ultimately
shall have the obligation to pay all benefits due to Participants and Surviving Spouses under the
Plan. The Company’s obligation to pay benefits under the Plan constitutes a mere promise of the
Company to pay such benefits, and a Participant or Surviving Spouse shall be and remain no more
than an unsecured, general creditor of the Company. As described in this Article, the Company may
establish a Trust and pay over funds from time to time to such Trust. To the extent that funds in
such Trust allocable to the benefits payable under the Plan are sufficient, the Trust assets shall
be used to pay benefits under the Plan. If such Trust assets are not sufficient to pay all benefits
due under the Plan, then the Company shall have the obligation, and the Participant or Surviving
Spouse, who is due such benefits, shall look to the Company to provide such benefits. The
Administrative Committee shall allocate the total liability to pay benefits under the Plan among
the Participating Companies in such manner and amount as the Administrative Committee in its sole
discretion deems appropriate to reflect the benefits accrued by each Participating Company’s
employees.



     5.2 Trust.



     The Company may transfer all or any portion of the funds necessary to fund benefits accrued
hereunder to the Trustee to be held and administered by the Trustee pursuant to the terms of the
Trust Agreement. To the extent provided in the Trust Agreement, each transfer into the Trust Fund
shall be irrevocable as long as the Company has any liability or obligations under the Plan to pay
benefits, such that the Trust property is in no way subject to use by the Company; provided, it is
the intent of the Company that the assets held by the Trust are and shall remain at all times
subject to the claims of the general creditors of the Company. No Participant or Surviving Spouse
shall have any interest in the assets held by the Trust or in the general assets of the Company
other than as a general, unsecured creditor. Accordingly, the Company shall not grant a security
interest in the assets held by the Trust in favor of the Participants, Surviving Spouses or any
creditor.



9









 





ARTICLE VI

ADMINISTRATIVE COMMITTEE




     6.1 Action.



     Action of the Administrative Committee may be taken with or without a meeting of committee
members; provided, action shall be taken only upon the vote or other affirmative expression of a
majority of the committee members qualified to vote with respect to such action. If a member of the
Administrative Committee is a Participant, he shall not participate in any decision which solely
affects his own benefit under the Plan. For purposes of administering the Plan, the Administrative
Committee shall choose a secretary who shall keep minutes of the Administrative Committee’s
proceedings and all records and documents pertaining to the administration of the Plan. The
secretary may execute any certificate or any other written direction on behalf of the
Administrative Committee.



     6.2 Rights and Duties.



     The Administrative Committee shall administer the Plan and shall have all powers necessary to
accomplish that purpose, including (but not limited to) the following:



          (a) To construe, interpret and administer the Plan;




          (b) To make determinations required by the Plan, and to maintain records regarding
Participants and Surviving Spouses’ benefits hereunder;




          (c) To compute and certify to the Company the amount and kinds of benefits payable to
Participants and Surviving Spouses and to determine the time and manner in which such benefits are
to be paid;




          (d) To authorize all disbursements by the Company pursuant to the Plan;




          (e) To maintain all the necessary records of the administration of the Plan;




          (f) To make and publish such rules for the regulation of the Plan as are not inconsistent with
the terms hereof




          (g) To delegate to other individuals or entities from time to time the performance of any of
its duties or responsibilities hereunder;




          (h) To hire agents, accountants, actuaries, consultants and legal counsel to assist in
operating and administering the Plan.



The Administrative Committee shall have the exclusive right to construe and to interpret the Plan,
to decide all questions of eligibility for benefits and to determine the amount of such benefits,
and its decisions on such matters are final and conclusive on all parties.




     6.3 Compensation, Indemnity and Liability.



     The Administrative Committee and its members shall serve as such without bond and without
compensation for services hereunder. All expenses of the Administrative Committee



10









 







shall be paid by the Company. No member of the Administrative Committee shall be liable for
any act or omission of any other member of the Administrative Committee, nor for any act or
omission on his own part, excepting his own willful misconduct. The Company shall indemnify and
hold harmless the Administrative Committee and each member thereof against any and all expenses and
liabilities, including reasonable legal fees and expenses, arising out of his membership on the
Administrative Committee, excepting only expenses and liabilities arising out of his own willful
