PAYMENT OF BENEFITS







5.1            Retirement Benefit.  (a)  If a Participant terminates employment with his or her Employer and is not immediately reemployed by another Employer (or, in the case of a Non-Grandfathered Participant, by a Subsidiary), and such termination constitutes a Retirement, or upon any subsequent termination from such an entity that constitutes a Retirement, then the Employer shall pay to the Participant the annual Retirement benefit stated in his or her Deferral Agreements on those dates specified in each Deferral Agreement.  The Employer shall also make any Retirement benefit payment to a Participant who has remained employed with the Employer (or with another Employer or a Subsidiary) through the date specified for such payment in his or her Deferral Agreement.  Except as hereinafter provided, the Retirement benefit payment(s) which will be stated in a Participant’s Deferral Agreement shall be a number of payments equal to the lesser of (i) fifteen (15) and (ii) the remainder of eighty (80) minus the age at which Retirement benefit payments commence pursuant to this Section.  The Retirement benefit shall be paid as soon as administratively practicable after the first (1st) day of January following the calendar year in which the Participant attains age sixty-five (65).  Any such Deferral Agreement executed by a Participant which defers amounts which would otherwise be payable to the Participant in or after the Plan Year in which he or she attains age sixty-five (65), however, shall provide that the first Retirement benefit payable shall be paid as soon as administratively practicable after the first (1st) day of January following the later of (i) the fifth (5th) anniversary of the date upon which the Deferral Agreement is accepted by the Employer or (ii) his or her Retirement, and that the number of Retirement benefit payments shall equal the remainder of (i) eighty (80) minus (ii) the age at which Retirement benefit payments commence pursuant to this Section.







(b)            Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (a) of this Section 5.1, to the extent authorized in terms and conditions approved for a Plan Year by the CEO pursuant to Article 2 of this Plan, the Employer shall pay to the Participant the annual Retirement benefit specified in his or her Deferral Agreements on those dates specified in each Deferral Agreement which may differ from those specified in Section 5.1(a).







(c)            If a Grandfathered Participant is, on the date of termination, or becomes thereafter a proprietor, officer, partner, or employee of, or otherwise is or becomes affiliated with (i) any business that is in competition with any Employer or (ii) any government agency having regulatory jurisdiction over the business activities of any Employer, then, upon that date, no further benefit payments shall be made to the Participant, or any other person with respect to the Participant’s participation in this Plan, under any provision or Section of this Plan, except that, the Participant shall be paid in lump-sum as soon as administratively practicable after the first (1st) day of January following that date an amount equal to (i) the amount deferred pursuant to each of his or her Deferral Agreements, (ii) plus interest on each such amount (adjusted to take into account all payments described in clause (iii) below) credited separately at a rate equal to the rate paid on ten (10) year United States Treasury obligations on each date for which interest is credited, compounded quarterly, for each Plan Year between the Plan Year to which the Deferral Agreement applies and the Plan Year in which the act occurs or status is first attained, inclusive, (iii) minus the amount of all Interim Distributions and any other payments hereunder.  If the above calculation results in a negative amount, such amount shall not be collected from, or enforced against the Participant as a claim by his or her Employer.  This Section 5.1(c) shall be inapplicable with respect to any Non-Grandfathered Participant.







5.2            Interim Distributions.  A Participant shall be paid the benefits stated in Paragraph 3 of his or her standard Deferral Agreements on those dates stated in that paragraph of each such Deferral Agreement (herein referred to as “Interim Distributions”).  However, no Interim Distribution shall be stated in a Deferral Agreement or paid to any Participant as a result of the Deferral Agreement if the Participant is age fifty-five (55) or older on any day during the Plan Year to which the Deferral Agreement applies.  Except as may be otherwise specified by the CEO, no Interim Distribution shall be paid to a Participant on or after the date upon which the Participant or his or her Designated Beneficiary receives any benefit or payment under any other Section of this Plan or any other paragraph of his or her Deferral Agreement.  No Interim Distribution shall be paid in connection with any Deferral Agreement which does not specifically provide for such benefits.







5.3            Death Benefit.  If a Participant dies on or before the date upon which he or she is eligible for Retirement, then his or her Designated Beneficiary, as defined in Section 6.1, shall be paid in a lump-sum as soon as administratively practicable after the first day of January following his or her date of death an amount equal to:  (i) the amount deferred pursuant to each of his or her Deferral Agreements, (ii) plus interest on each such amount (adjusted to take into account all payments described in clause (iii) below) credited separately at the rate approved for and applicable to his or her participation in each Plan Year for which he or she executed accepted Deferral Agreements, such rates to be compounded quarterly for each Plan Year between the Plan Year to which the Deferral Agreement applies and the Plan Year in which his or her death occurs, inclusive, (iii) minus the amount of all Interim Distributions, if any, received by the Participant or to which the Participant is entitled on or before the date of his or her death.  If the above calculation results in a negative amount, such amount shall not be collected from, or enforced against the Participant as a claim by his or her Employer.







If a Participant dies on or after the date upon which he or she is eligible for Retirement (as defined in Section 1.9), whether or not he or she has in fact terminated employment, prior to commencing receipt of benefits, or having received all benefits, as the case may be, payable in accordance with the duly authorized Deferral Agreement under this Plan, except as provided under Section 5.4, then his or her Designated Beneficiary, as defined in Section 6.1, shall receive all benefits, or continue to receive the remaining benefits, as the case may be, in accordance with that Deferral Agreement.







If the Participant’s Designated Beneficiary receives or is entitled to receive a benefit hereunder, then no person or persons shall receive or be entitled to receive any benefit or payment under any other Section or this Plan or under any Deferral Agreement, notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan or any Deferral Agreement.







5.4            Pre-Retirement Disability Benefit.  If a Participant suffers a Disability or becomes Disabled (as defined in Section 1.4A) prior to the date upon which he or she receives or is entitled to receive a benefit under Section 5.1 or Section 5.3, then he or she shall be paid by the Employer in a lump-sum as soon as administratively practicable after the first (1st) day of January following the Plan Year in which the Disability occurs an amount equal to:  (i) the amount deferred pursuant to each of his or her Deferral Agreements, (ii) plus interest on each such amount (adjusted to take into account all payments described in clause (iii) below) credited separately at the rate approved for and applicable to his or her participation in each Plan Year for which he or she executed accepted Deferral Agreements, such rates to be compounded annually for each Plan Year between the Plan Year to which the Deferral Agreement applies and the Plan Year in which his or her Disability occurs, inclusive, (iii) minus the amount of all Interim Distributions, if any, received by the Participant or to which the Participant is entitled on or before the date of onset of Disability.  If the above calculation results in a negative amount, such amount shall not be collected from, or enforced against the Participant as a claim by his or her Employer.  If the Participant receives or is entitled to receive a benefit hereunder, then no person or persons shall receive or be entitled to receive any benefit or payment under any other section of this Plan or under any Deferral Agreement, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Plan or any Deferral Agreement.







5.5            Termination of Employment Prior to Retirement or Disability.  If a Participant terminates employment with his or her Employer, and is not immediately reemployed by another Employer (or, in the case of a Non-Grandfathered Participant, by a Subsidiary), prior to death, Disability or Retirement, then a benefit amount shall be paid to the Participant in a lump-sum (or, in the case of a Grandfathered Participant, either in a lump-sum or in five (5) annual installments, at the election of the CEO), payable as soon as administratively practicable after the first (1st) day of January following his or her date of termination (and anniversaries thereof in case of installments), which amount equals (i) the amount deferred pursuant to each of his or her Deferral Agreements, (ii) plus interest on each such amount (adjusted to take into account all payments described in clause (iii) below) credited separately at a rate equal to the rate on ten (10) year United States Treasury obligations on each date for which interest is to be credited, compounded quarterly, for each Plan Year between the Plan Year to which the Deferral Agreement applies and the Plan Year in which the termination occurs, inclusive, (iii) minus the amount of all Interim Distributions, if any, received by the Participant or to which the Participant is entitled on or before the date of his or her termination.  If the above calculation results in a negative amount, such amount shall not be collected from, or enforced against the Participant as a claim by his or her Employer.  If the Participant receives or is entitled to receive a benefit hereunder, then no person or persons shall then or thereafter receive any benefit or payment under any other Section of this Plan or any Deferral Agreement, notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan or any Deferral Agreement.

5.5D         Transfer of Employment to YP Holdings LLC (“YPH”)     On April 7, 2012, AT&T reached an agreement to sell its Advertising Solutions (AS) business to Cerberus Capital Management, L.P. pursuant to an agreement entitled the “Purchase Agreement by and between AT&T Inc. and Congo Buyer LLC” (the “Agreement”). Participants in the AS unit who leave AT&T employment and transfer to employment with  YPH as part of the closing of the transaction  (hereinafter referred to as  a “YP Participant”) will have their actual period of employment at YPH included as Net Credited Service for purposes of this Plan, up to a maximum of four years.  The closing of the transaction described in the preceding sentence shall be hereinafter referred to as the “Closing.”  The Net Credited Service (maximum four years) will be counted to determine if a Participant meets the eligibility for a Retirement event (described in Section 1.9) and Retirement Benefit (described in Section 5.1).  The YPH service will not be used for any other purpose in the Plan.







Furthermore, if a YP Participant’s employment with YPH is involuntarily terminated (other than for “cause”) by YPH, as determined by the Plan Administrator, within the four year period immediately following the Closing, then additional service will be credited under the Plan so that the YP Participant will be deemed to have met the eligibility for a Retirement event (described in Section 1.9) and Retirement Benefit (described in Section 5.1).  For purposes of clarity, if a YP Participant voluntarily terminates his employment with YPH or is involuntarily terminated for “cause” from YPH, as determined by the Plan Administrator, within the four year period immediately following the Closing, the additional service with YPH to be recognized under the Plan shall cease as of the date of such termination from YPH.  Finally, a YP Participant’s age upon his actual termination of employment (separation from service) from YPH will be used to determine the participant’s eligibility for Retirement (section 1.9) and a Retirement Benefits (Section 5.1) under the Plan.







For purposes of the paragraph above, “cause” shall mean (A) the refusal or willful material failure to perform the YP Participant’s lawful responsibilities to YPH; (B) the refusal or willful material failure to follow or carry out any reasonable, lawful, material direction from YPH; (C) any material breach of fiduciary obligation on the part of the YP Participant or that otherwise could reasonably be expected to have a materially adverse effect upon the business, interests or reputation of YPH; (D) the conviction of the YP Participant of, or plea by him of nolo contendere to, any felony; (E) the YP Participant has breached any applicable non-competition, non-solicitation or confidentiality agreements or provisions that results in material harm to YPH; or (F) the commission of fraud, embezzlement, or theft by the YP Participant.












In addition, in compliance with the requirements of Code Section 409A, YP Participants will not experience a termination of employment (separation of service) under the Plan, and therefore will not be eligible to commence their benefits under the Plan, until such time as they incur a termination of employment (separation from service) from YPH.







The preceding amendment only applies to benefits for certain participants that were not considered “grandfathered” under the Section 409A rules and does not apply to any benefits or participants that were “grandfathered” under Section 409A.







5.6            Distributions to Code Section 409A Specified Employees.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, with respect to any Non-Grandfathered Participant who is a “specified employee” for purposes of Code Section 409A, no payment of any portion of the Non-Grandfathered Participant’s benefit amount which is occasioned by the Non-Grandfathered Participant’s separation from service shall be made before the date that is six (6) months after the date of such Participant’s separation from service.












ARTICLE 6







MISCELLANEOUS







6.1            Beneficiary Designation.  If a Participant dies and, on the date of his or her death, any benefit or benefits remain to be paid to the Participant under the terms and conditions of this Plan, the remaining benefit or benefits shall be paid to that person or persons designated by the Participant (“Designated Beneficiary”) on the form provided from time to time to the Participant by his or her Employer in accordance with the Deferral Agreement.  If the Designated Beneficiary dies prior to completion of all payments under the Deferral Agreement, the estate of the Designated Beneficiary shall be paid by the Employer in a lump-sum as soon as administratively practicable after the first (1st) day of January following the year in which the Designated Beneficiary died.  The amount of the lump-sum will be equal to (i) the amount deferred pursuant to each of the Participant’s Deferral Agreements, (ii) plus interest on each such amount (adjusted to take into account all payments described in clauses (iii) and (iv) below) credited separately at the rate approved for and applicable to the Participant’s participation in each Plan Year from which he or she executed accepted Deferral Agreements, such rates to be compounded quarterly for each Plan Year between the Plan Year to which the Deferral Agreement applies and the Plan Year in which the Designated Beneficiary’s death occurs, inclusive, (iii) minus the amount of all Interim Distributions, if any received by the Participant or Designated Beneficiary, (iv) minus the Retirement benefits paid to the Participant or Designated Beneficiary pursuant to the Deferral Agreement(s).  If the above calculation results in a negative amount, such amount shall not be collected from, or enforced against the estate of the Designated Beneficiary.  If no Designated Beneficiary has been chosen by the Participant or if the Designated Beneficiary is not living on the date of the Participant’s death, the estate of the Participant shall be paid by the Employer in a lump-sum as soon as administratively practicable after the first (1st) day of January following the year in which the Participant died.  The amount of the lump-sum shall be determined in the manner described previously in this Section 6.1.







6.2            Obligations of Employers Not the Obligations of BellSouth.  The duties and obligations of each Employer hereunder are several but not joint, each Employer is only liable to its own employees who are Participants hereunder, and BellSouth is not liable for the actions, omissions, duties or obligations of any other Employer hereunder.







6.3            Recalculation Events; Treatment of this Plan under Applicable Federal Income Tax Laws.  With respect to Grandfathered Participants, the adoption and maintenance of the Plan is strictly conditioned upon (i) the applicability of Code Section 451(a) to the Participant’s recognition of gross income as a result of his or her participation, (ii) the fact that Participants will not recognize gross income as a result of participation in this Plan until and to the extent that benefits are received, (iii) the applicability of Code Section 404(a)(5) to the deductibility of the amounts paid to Participants hereunder, (iv) the fact that an Employer will not receive a deduction for amounts credited to any accounting reserve created as a result of this Plan until and only to the extent that benefits are paid, and (v) the inapplicability of Parts 2, 3, and 4 of Title I of ERISA to this Plan by reason of the exemptions set forth in ERISA Sections 201(a), 301(a) and 401(a) and Part 1 of ERISA by reason of the exemption set forth in Section 2520.104-23 of applicable United States Department of Labor regulations.  If the Internal Revenue Service, the Department of Labor or any court determines or finds as a fact or legal conclusion that any of the above conditions is untrue and issues or intends to issue an assessment, determination, opinion or report stating such, or if the opinion of the legal counsel of BellSouth based upon legal authorities then existing is that any of the above assumptions is incorrect, then, if the CEO so elects within one year of such finding, determination, or opinion, a Recalculation Event shall be deemed to have occurred.







If a Recalculation Event occurs under this Section 6.3, Section 6.4, or any other Section of this Plan, then each Grandfathered Participant who has not attained the age of fifty-five (55) years on the date on which the CEO takes official action to elect the occurrence of a Recalculation Event shall thereafter be paid benefits in accordance with the election made irrevocably in connection therewith in the Deferral Agreement.  For each such Grandfathered Participant the amount of Retirement benefit stated in the Deferral Agreement shall be recalculated and restated using a rate of interest equal to the rate of interest on ten (10) year United States Treasury obligations on each date upon which interest should have been or will be calculated, compounded quarterly, instead of the interest rate assumed in originally calculating the benefit, as referenced in Section 4.2.







Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Plan or a Deferral Agreement, the benefits payable with respect to any Participant who shall have either (i) attained the age of fifty-five (55) years or (ii) died, on or prior to the date on which the CEO takes official action to elect the occurrence of a Recalculation Event under either Sections 6.3 or 6.4 of this Plan, shall not be recalculated and restated in the manner described in such Sections or in any other way affected by such action.  If such Participant or Designated Beneficiary receives or is entitled to receive a benefit as result of the occurrence of a Recalculation Event, then no person or persons shall receive or be entitled to receive any benefit or payment under any other Section of this Plan or under any Deferral Agreement, notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan or the Deferral Agreement.







This Section 6.3 shall be inapplicable with respect to any Non-Grandfathered Participant.







6.4            Changes in the Internal Revenue Code of 1954.  With respect to Grandfathered Participants, the adoption and maintenance of this Plan also is strictly conditioned upon the existence and continuation of the percentage tax rates for corporations stated in Section 11(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as amended through August 13, 1981 but not thereafter (the “1954 Code”).  In particular, the adoption and maintenance of this Plan is strictly conditioned upon the rate of tax stated in Section 11(b)(5) of the 1954 Code, that is, “46 percent of so much of the taxable income as exceeds $100,000.”  If (1) 1954 Code Section 11(b) is deleted or amended or a surtax or other addition to tax is imposed and, as a result thereof, the rate of federal income tax imposed on taxable income of corporations in excess of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) is reduced below such rate in effect immediately before reduction and is less than forty percent (40%), (2) a tax is imposed by the federal government on income, sales, consumption, or the value of goods and services which is not currently contained in the Code, or (3) the Code is amended or restated so extensively that in the opinion of the legal counsel of BellSouth the tax treatment of this Plan to the Employer has materially changed to the detriment of the Employer, then, if the CEO so elects within one year after the enactment of the legislation causing such event, a Recalculation Event shall be deemed to have occurred and a benefit will be payable only as described in Section 6.3.







This Section 6.4 shall be inapplicable with respect to any Non-Grandfathered Participant.







6.5            Governing Law.  This Plan and the Deferral Agreements shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia to the extent such laws are not preempted by ERISA.







6.6            Successors, Mergers, Consolidations.  The terms and conditions of this Plan and each Deferral Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and bind BellSouth, the other Employers, the Participants, their successors, assigns, and personal representatives.  If substantially all of the assets of any Employer are acquired by another corporation or entity or if an Employer is merged into, or consolidated with, another corporation or entity, then the obligations created hereunder and as a result of the Employer’s acceptance of Deferral Agreements shall be obligations of the successor corporations or entity.







6.7            Discharge of Employer’s Obligation.  The payment by the Employer of the benefits due under each and every Deferral Agreement to the Participant or to the person or persons specified in Section 6.1 discharges the Employer’s obligations hereunder, and the Participant has no further rights under this Plan or the Deferral Agreements upon receipt by the appropriate person of all benefits.  In addition, (i) if any payment is made to a Participant or his or her Designated Beneficiary with respect to benefits described in this Plan from any source arranged by the Employer including, without limitation, any fund, trust, insurance arrangement, bond, security device, or any similar arrangement, such payment shall be deemed to be in full and complete satisfaction of the obligation of the Employer under this Plan and the Deferral Agreements to the extent of such payment as if such payment had been made directly by the Employer; and (ii) if any payment from a source described in clause (i) above shall be made, in whole or in part, prior to the time payment would be made under the terms of this Plan and the Deferral Agreement, such payment shall be deemed to satisfy the Employer’s obligation to pay Plan benefits beginning with the benefit which would next become payable under the Plan and the Deferral Agreement and continuing in the order in which benefits are so payable, until the payment from such other source is fully recovered.  In determining the benefits satisfied by a payment described in clause (ii), Plan benefits, as they become payable, shall be discounted to their value as of the date such actual payment was made using an interest rate equal to the valuation interest rate for deferred annuities as last published by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation prior to the date of such actual payment.  If the benefits which actually become payable under this Plan, after applying the discount described in the preceding sentence, are less than the amount of the payment(s) described in clause (ii), any such shortfall shall not be collected from or enforced against the Participant as a claim by the Employer.







6.8            Social Security and Income Tax Withholding.  Each Participant agrees as a condition of participation hereunder that his or her Employer may withhold federal, state, and local income taxes and Social Security taxes from any distribution or benefit paid hereunder.







6.9            Notice; Delivery of Deferral Agreement.  Any notice required to be delivered hereunder and any Deferral Agreement is properly delivered to the Employer when personally delivered to, or actually received from the United States mail, postage prepaid, by Executive Compensation and Benefits Group, Room 13J08, BellSouth Corporation, 1155 Peachtree Street, N.E., Atlanta, Georgia  30309-3610, or at such other address as the Plan Administrator shall prescribe from time to time.







6.10          Nature of Obligations Created Hereunder.  The Participants agree as a condition of participation hereunder that:







(a)            Participants have the status of general, unsecured creditors of the Employer and the Plan and the Deferral Agreements constitute the mere promise by the Employer to make benefit payments in the future;







(b)            nothing contained in this Plan or any Deferral Agreement shall create or be construed to create a trust of any kind between BellSouth, any Employer, and any Participant;







(c)            benefits payable, and rights to benefits under, this Plan and Deferral Agreements may not be anticipated, sold, assigned (either at law or in equity), transferred, pledged, encumbered or subject to attachment, garnishment, levy, execution or other legal or equitable process.







The Plan is intended to be unfunded for purposes of ERISA and the Code.







6.11          No Modification of Employment Agreement.  Neither this Plan nor any Deferral Agreement constitutes a modification of any employment agreement which may exist between the Participant and the Participating Company employing the Participant, and no right to continued employment is created by this Plan or the Deferral Agreement.







6.12          Liability of Employers for Individual Participants Employed by More than One Employer; Applicability of Deferral Agreement Filed with One Employer to Subsequent Employers.  Any Deferral Agreement which is timely executed and delivered to an Employer shall be effective to defer Compensation earned by the Participant from that Employer or any other Employer during the period in which the Deferral Agreement is effective.  The execution and delivery of a Deferral Agreement by a Participant constitutes an election by the Participant to defer Compensation earned from any Employer under the terms of this Plan.  A Participant who timely executes and delivers a Deferral Agreement to one Employer and who subsequently transfers to another Employer or otherwise terminates employment and becomes employed by another Employer shall have the Compensation which is paid to him or her by both Employers reduced under the terms of the Deferral Agreement and this Plan as if the transfer or termination and reemployment had not occurred.  The Employer which accepts an executed, timely delivered Deferral Agreement is liable to the Participant for all benefits which may be payable under, and as a result of, that Deferral Agreement notwithstanding the transfer of a Participant to or from another Employer, or the termination and reemployment of a Participant by another Employer.  If a Participant timely executes and delivers Deferral Agreements to more than one Employer, each Employer is singly and not jointly liable for the Deferral Agreement or Deferral Agreements which it accepted.  Any provision of this Plan which refers to a benefit or payment which is payable as a result of more than one (1) Deferral Agreement shall be construed to apply only to the Deferral Agreements delivered by that Participant and accepted by each separate Employer of that Participant, and not to all Deferral Agreements executed and timely delivered by one Participant or all Participants to all Employers, each Deferral Agreement which incorporates the terms of this constituting a separate contractual obligation of a single Employer.







6.13          Savings Clause.  In the event any provision of the Plan shall be held illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality of invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts of the Plan, and the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision had not been included.







6.14          Plan to Comply with Code Section 409A.  Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Plan, each provision of this Plan shall be interpreted to permit the deferral of compensation and the payment of deferred amounts in accordance with Code Section 409A and any provision that would conflict with such requirements shall not be valid or enforceable.

The Plan, including all terms, conditions, restrictions and limitations contained therein, is hereby incorporated by reference and made a part of this Agreement for all purposes.

If the Employee does not separate from service under the Separation Plan, this Agreement shall be null and void.  Neither the Company’s offering of this deferral opportunity to the Employee, the Company’s acceptance of the Employee’s deferral election contained in this Agreement, nor any other provision hereof shall in any way be construed as conferring upon the Employee any right or entitlement to any payment under the Separation Plan.
