who is eligible for a Service Pension under Section 5.1 and begins receiving
his Service Pension as of any date on or after his Normal Retirement Date, the
following shall apply:  The amount
determined under subsection (a) of Section 5.1 shall not be less than the

less than the amount the Employee would receive if the Employee’s benefit
commencing at or after his Normal Retirement Date were determined under Section

accrued benefit under this Appendix OO (with the provisions of subparagraph (i)
of this subsection (b) of Section 9.2 taken into account, if applicable) that
is equal to or greater than the applicable amount determined under subsection
(c) of Section 5.1 with respect to the Employee’s Accredited Service for

under this Appendix OO in the manner and to the extent, if any, provided for an
Employee covered by a KY collective bargaining agreement.

 

(vi)          For purposes of this paragraph (b), the
terms “ALLTEL collective bargaining agreement,” “ALIANT collective bargaining
agreement,” and “KY collective bargaining agreement” (and variations of such
terms) shall have the meanings given those terms in paragraph (1) of subsection
(d) of Section 1.01 of the Plan.
