1.10    Final Average Annual Pay.
(a)    For Non-Grandfathered Participants, Final Average Annual Pay shall mean the average annual compensation for such Participant for the five full consecutive calendar years during his Future Service period (without regard to any Future Service period after June 30, 2019) during which he received the largest total amount of compensation. For this purpose, a Non-Grandfathered Participant’s “compensation” shall mean the total compensation actually paid or accrued by the Company to or for such Non-Grandfathered Participant including, without limitation, bonuses paid or accrued, performance incentive payments and the like, and excluding relocation pay, severance pay, the value of any Company-provided fringe benefits (including, without limitation, car allowances, personal travel allowances and tax gross-ups), compensation derived from stock options, stock appreciation rights, stock plans and programs (including, without limitation, restricted stock plans and programs and grants of restricted stock units), or any similar plans; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, amounts deferred at such Non-Grandfathered Participant’s election under a plan described in section 401(k) of the Code, and the value (at time of grant) of any stock option grant made in lieu of a bonus payment, shall be included in such Participant’s compensation. For purposes of the immediately preceding two sentences, for a Non-Grandfathered Participant who remains in continuous employment with the Company through June 30, 2019, (i) the period from January 1, 2019, through June 30, 2019, shall be deemed a “full calendar year” during such Participant’s Future Service period, and (ii) any bonus earned by the Participant in respect of the Company’s 2019 fiscal year and paid in the first quarter of the Company’s 2020 fiscal year will be deemed “compensation



… accrued by the Company … for such Non-Grandfathered Participant” in respect of such 2019 Future Service period. The Company’s chief executive officer shall determine the value of any stock option grant made in lieu of a bonus payment, which value shall not, in any event, be: (i) greater than the “target bonus” amount the stock option grant was made in lieu of (the “Substituted Amount”) or (ii) less than the amount such Participant would have received had the foregoing stock option grant not been made and the normal bonus “scoring” methodology been applied to the Substituted Amount, provided that such amount shall not exceed the Substituted Amount. The value of such stock option grant shall be included in a Non-Grandfathered Participant’s compensation in the calendar year in which the bonus (which the stock option was granted in lieu of) would have otherwise been paid or accrued; and
(b)    Solely for purposes of determining a Grandfathered Participant’s accrued benefit under Section 3.1(a)(2) as of December 31, 2009, Final Average Annual Pay shall mean the average annual compensation for such Grandfathered Participant for the five full consecutive calendar years during the portion of his Future Service period ending on December 31, 2009 during which he received the largest total amount of compensation. For this purpose, a Grandfathered Participant’s “compensation” shall mean the total compensation actually paid or accrued by the Company to or for such Participant including, without limitation, bonuses paid or accrued (other than any bonuses paid or accrued under the Company’s three-year GIP growth incentive plan), performance incentive payments and the like and restricted stock plans and programs (other than (A) the Company’s 2005 fiscal year and 2006 fiscal year broad-based performance-based restricted stock programs (PBRS) in which all “letter grade” associates participated and (B) the Company’s two-year accelerated revenue PBRS programs (i.e. the ARPs), the first of which commenced in the Company’s 2007 fiscal year), and excluding relocation pay, compensation derived from stock options, stock appreciation rights or any similar plans; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, amounts deferred at such Participant’s election under a plan described in section 401(k) of the Code, and the value (at time of grant) of any stock option grant made in lieu of a bonus payment, shall be included in such Grandfathered Participant’s compensation. The Company’s chief executive officer shall determine the value of any stock option grant made in lieu of a bonus payment, which value shall not, in any event, be: (i) greater than the Substituted Amount or (ii) less than the amount such Participant would have received had the foregoing stock option grant not been made and the normal bonus “scoring” methodology been applied to the Substituted Amount, provided that such amount shall not exceed the Substituted Amount. The value of such stock option grant shall be included in a Grandfathered Participant’s compensation in the calendar year in which the bonus (which the stock option was granted in lieu of) would have otherwise been paid or accrued. The value (on the date that restrictions lapse) of a Grandfathered Participant’s restricted stock with restrictions lapsing during the Company’s fiscal year that begins during the applicable calendar year shall be included in the Participant’s compensation for such calendar year; provided that, in the case of restricted stock that is includable in a Participant’s compensation for calendar year 2007, the value of such restricted stock will be determined by multiplying (a) the price of a



share of the Company’s common stock on the date the restrictions thereon lapse (determined consistently with past practice), by (b) the number resulting from multiplying the aggregate number of includable restricted shares by a fraction, the numerator of which is the “last trade” price of a share of the Company’s common stock on the trading date immediately prior to the date the Spin-off occurs and the denominator of which is the “first trade” price of the Company’s common stock on the trading date on which the Spin-off has occurred. For the avoidance of doubt, on and after January 1, 2010, when determining as of a date after December 31, 2009 the accrued benefit of a Grandfathered Participant who was actively employed by the Company or an affiliate on or after January 1, 2010, Final Average Annual Pay shall be as defined in the same manner as would apply under Section 1.10(a) of the Plan if he were a Non-Grandfathered Participant.
1.11    Former Participant. Means any person who (i) was a Participant in the Plan, (ii) stopped accruing benefits under the Plan pursuant to Article II(b), (iii) continued to be employed by the Company until after age 65 and (iv) has a Separation from Service more than one month after the Participant’s accruals under the Plan cease pursuant to the clause (ii) of this definition.
1.12    Future Service. For Participants who had a Separation from Service prior to January 1, 2010, Future Service shall mean a Participant’s period of full calendar years of continuous employment with the Company after his Plan participation has begun and shall only include the period of employment during which the Participant is accruing a benefit under the Plan. For Participants who were actively employed on and after January 1, 2010, Future Service shall mean a Participant’s period of full calendar years and months of continuous employment with the Company beginning upon the later of (A) January 1, 1989 and (B) the first day of the calendar month coincident with or next following the date on which the Board approved the Participant’s election as officer of the Company, and ending on the first day of the calendar month next following the Participant’s Separation from Service, provided that if the Participant’s Separation from Service occurs on the first day of a calendar month, such Participant’s Future Service shall end on such date.
In either case, leaves of absence of less than six months may be taken into account as Future Service, to the extent provided by the Committee. The Committee may, in a Supplement, grant a Participant prior service credit for determining the length of his Future Service period.
1.13    Grandfathered Participant. A Participant participating in the Plan on January 1, 2008 and who attained age 50 by January 1, 2009.

Separation from Service shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with Section 409A of the Code and any applicable regulatory guidance promulgated thereunder. References hereunder to a Participant’s termination of employment, the date a Participant’s employment terminates and the like, shall refer to the ceasing of the Participant’s employment with the Company for any reason.

(iii)    If a Non-Grandfathered Participant’s Early Retirement Benefit commences after the Participant’s 62nd Birthday but prior to his Normal Retirement Date, his benefit shall be in an amount equal to the Participant’s Annual Plan Benefit, reduced at a rate of 4/12 of 1% per month for each full month by which the date the Participant’s benefit commences precedes the his Normal Retirement Date.

If a Participant shall incur a Disability while employed by the Company, the Company shall pay such Participant a monthly benefit starting on the first day of the calendar month after the date his Disability begins and ending with the payment for the calendar month in which his death occurs or his disability ends, whichever occurs first. Such monthly benefit (which shall not be reduced by, and shall not reduce, the benefits, if any, payable to a Participant under the Company’s Long Term Disability Insurance Program) shall be calculated in the same way as an Early Retirement Benefit under Section 3.3, based on his Final Average Annual Pay when his Disability begins (which will, for purposes of this Section 3.4 only, be determined over less than five full consecutive calendar years to the extent that his Future



Service period is less than five years), except that (i) the Vested Percentage shall always be 100%, (ii) there shall not be any actuarial reduction to reflect the commencement of the payment of benefits before his Normal Retirement Date, and (iii) there shall not be any Future Service period accrual during his Disability.
3.5    Form of Benefit.

Single Life Annuity;
25% Joint and Survivor Annuity;
50% Joint and Survivor Annuity;
75% Joint and Survivor Annuity;
100% Joint and Survivor Annuity; or
10-Year Certain and Life Annuity
Each form of benefit listed in this subsection 3.5(a) shall be paid in a series of substantially equal periodic payments, payable not less frequently than annually, for the life of the Participant (and beneficiary, if applicable and dictated by the form of payment selected, and for a period of time not less than that guaranteed by the form of payment selected), starting as of the date as of which payments to such Participant under this Article III are to begin. Actuarial equivalence for purposes of this subsection 3.5(a) only shall have the same meaning as in the Pension Plan.
(b)    Lump Sum Election Before 2009. An active Participant who has not had a termination of employment and in respect of whom payment of benefits hereunder have not commenced by December 31, 2008 may also make an irrevocable election prior to January 1, 2009 to receive payment of either 25% or 50% of his accrued benefit in a single lump sum.
(c)    Change to Form of Payment. On and after January 1, 2009 an active Participant who has not had a termination of employment and who has not previously elected to receive a portion of his benefit in a single lump sum may make an election to receive either 25% or 50% of his accrued benefit in a single lump sum if all of the following conditions are met:
(i)    The lump sum election shall not take effect until at least 12 months after the date on which it is made;



(ii)    The election must be made at least 12 months prior to the date on which the first annuity payment for the Participant is otherwise scheduled to be made; and

Within 30 days following the date on which a Participant first becomes eligible to participate in the Plan, the Participant shall elect whether to receive payment of his entire accrued benefit (i) in the form of one of the annuities listed in Section 3.5(a) or (ii) a portion of his benefit in the form of an annuity and 25% or 50% of his accrued benefit in a single lump sum. If no such election has been made by the 30th day following the date on which the Participant first becomes eligible to participate in the Plan, the Participants’ accrued benefit under the Plan shall be paid in the form of an annuity listed in Section 3.5(a).
(e)    Actuarial Assumptions for Single Lump Sum Payments. The amount of any single lump sum paid pursuant to subsections 3.5 (b), (c) or (d) shall be calculated as of the date on which payment of a Participant’s benefit shall commence by multiplying the percentage of the benefit to be paid as a single lump sum by an actuarial present value factor determined using the interest rate and mortality table most recently applied for purposes of ASC Topic 715 financial statement disclosures with respect to the Plan.
3.6    No Duplication. In no event shall benefits become payable to any Participant under more than one Section of this Article III.
ARTICLE IV
