The Post-Retirement Death Benefit shall be a monthly benefit in an amount equal to the amount of the Supplemental Retirement Benefit the deceased Participant was receiving at the time of his death (or, in the case of the death of a Participant entitled to a Disability Benefit, would have been receiving had he commenced receiving the benefit at the time of his death). (C) COMMENCEMENT, FORM AND DURATION OF PAYMENT. The Post-Retirement Death Benefit shall commence as of the first day of the month immediately following the date of the Participant's death, and shall continue to be paid as of the first day of each month thereafter until the first day of the month coincident with the death of the surviving Spouse. (ii) For future Spouses of Participants in the Plan as of January 1, 2001 or all Spouses of future Participants after January 1, 2001: (A) QUALIFICATION FOR BENEFIT. The Surviving Spouse of a deceased Participant who has (a) died while receiving Supplemental Retirement Benefits (including Disability Benefits) under the Plan and whose optional form of payment elected at retirement provides for a survivor benefit, or (b) who has qualified for a Disability Benefit but who has not yet commenced receiving such benefits, shall be eligible for the Post-Retirement Death Benefit described in paragraph (B) of this Section. (B) COMPUTATION OF AMOUNT OF ANNUAL BENEFIT. The Post-Retirement Death Benefit shall be a monthly benefit in an amount equal to either (a) 100%, or (b) 50% (as elected by the Participant) of the reduced Supplemental Retirement Benefit the deceased Participant was receiving at the time of his death (or, in the case of the death of a Participant entitled to a Disability Benefit, would have been receiving had he commenced receiving the benefit at the time of his death). (C) COMMENCEMENT, FORM AND DURATION OF PAYMENT. The Post-Retirement Death Benefit shall commence as of the first day of the month immediately following the date of the Participant's death, and shall continue to be paid as of the first day of each month thereafter until the first day of the month coincident with the death of the surviving Spouse. (c) MINIMUM DEATH BENEFIT (i) PRE-RETIREMENT SURVIVING SPOUSE BENEFIT. As provided in Section (a) hereof, at the death of a Participant who satisfies the requirements, monthly death benefits are payable to an eligible surviving Spouse for her remaining lifetime. If the surviving Spouse has not received at least five years of monthly benefit payments at her death, the remainder of the five years of monthly benefit payments, if any, will be made monthly to the Beneficiary named by the surviving Spouse. If no Beneficiary is so named, the remaining payments, if any, will be made to the Spouse's estate. If it is determined by the Board of Directors (in its sole discretion) that the remaining benefits shall be paid in a single sum, this amount will be computed as noted in subsection (iv) below. (ii) POST-RETIREMENT SURVIVING SPOUSE BENEFIT. If, at the death of the Participant and the surviving Spouse, five years of benefit payments have not been paid to them totally, the remainder, if any, of the five year period, will be paid monthly to the named Beneficiary of the last to survive. If no such Beneficiary is named, the remaining payments, if any, will be made to the Estate of the Participant or last survivor, as the case may be. If it is determined by the Board of Directors (in its sole discretion) that the remaining benefits shall be paid in a single sum, this amount will be computed as noted in subsection (iv) below. (iii) PRE-RETIREMENT BENEFIT WITH NO SPOUSE. Notwithstanding the other sections of Article XI, a death benefit will be payable at the death of a Participant who is otherwise eligible under Sections (a) above, but has no surviving Spouse (or has no eligible surviving Spouse) at his death. The monthly death benefit will be determined and start as if the Participant has a surviving Spouse and will be paid to a Beneficiary, named by the Participant, as provided in Section (a) above. For purposes of the Pre-Retirement Death Benefit only, a minimum of five years of monthly payments will be made to the Participant and/or the named Beneficiary under this provision. If no Beneficiary is named at the death of the Participant, any payments under this Section will be payable to the Participant's estate. The Board of Directors (in its sole discretion) shall determine if the remaining payments shall be payable in a single sum amount. This amount would be computed as noted in subsection (iv) below. (iv) DETERMINATION OF SINGLE SUM DEATH BENEFIT VALUE. If decided by the Board of Directors (in its sole discretion) that a single sum amount shall be payable under the five year minimum payments provisions of (c)(i) or (c)(ii) above, it will have the single sum amount determined actuarially, based on the circumstances of the benefits. Where appropriate, the GAM83 Mortality Table, 7-1/2% interest, ages of the Participant and/or Spouse, and the timing of the payment of benefits will be used. The single sum value will be equal to the present value of the immediate or deferred payment recognizing the remainder of any five year number of payments due. The Board of Directors (in its sole discretion) does have the option of changing these assumptions, if they are deemed inappropriate and unreasonable at the time the single sum amount is determined. ARTICLE XIII PLAN ADMINISTRATION The Company shall be responsible for the general administration of the Plan and for carrying out the provisions hereof. The Company shall have any and all power and authority (including discretion with respect to the exercise of that power and authority) which shall be necessary, advisable, desirable or convenient to enable it to carry out its duties under the Plan, including the powers: to resolve all questions arising under the Plan, such as questions of construction and interpretation; to adopt such rules and regulations as the Company may deem necessary or appropriate to provide for the administration of the Plan; to delegate such of its responsibilities and authorities hereunder to such individuals, committees or entities as the Company shall deem appropriate; and to take such further actions as the Company shall deem advisable in the administration of the Plan. The decision of the Company on any question concerning the interpretation or administration of this Plan shall be final and conclusive and nothing in the Plan shall be deemed to give a Participant, his surviving Spouse or other beneficiaries, or his or their legal representatives, any right to payments except to such extent, if any, as the Company may have determined subject to all the terms and conditions of the Plan. No member of the Board or the Committee, nor any individual, committee or entity to which any of the responsibilities or authority of the Committee or the Company hereunder are delegated, shall be liable for any act or determination made, in good faith, in regard to this Plan. ARTICLE XIV OPTIONAL FORMS OF PAYMENT (a) ANNUITY OPTIONS. Any Participant in the Plan as of January 1, 2001 who marries a Spouse at any time after January 1, 2001 and any future Participants in the Plan after January 1, 2001, may, in lieu of the automatic single life annuity form of payment, elect to receive his benefit in any of the following optional forms of payment: OPTION 1: 50% JOINT AND SURVIVOR ANNUITY. A reduced monthly Supplemental Retirement Benefit which is actuarially equivalent to the single life annuity under the Plan and is payable to the Participant for his life, with continuance of monthly payments of 50% of such reduced amount after his death to his surviving Spouse until the first day of the month coincident with the death of the surviving Spouse. OPTION 2: 100% JOINT AND SURVIVOR ANNUITY. A reduced monthly Retirement Benefit which is actuarially equivalent to the single life annuity under the Plan and is payable to the Participant for his life, with continuance of monthly payments in such reduced amount after his death to his surviving Spouse until the first day of the month coincident with the death of the surviving Spouse. (b) TIMING AND MANNER OF ELECTION. Any Participant for whom Section (a) applies, shall make such election to waive the automatic single life annuity benefit and in lieu thereof, to receive an alternative annuity form of payment allowed hereunder (or a lump sum pursuant to Section (c) below) in writing on a form provided by the Company, which form shall be filed with the Company prior to the Participant's termination of employment for any reason. (c) LUMP SUM PAYMENTS. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, but subject to the approval of the Committee as described below, any Participant under the Plan may elect to receive the benefits payable to him under the Plan, other than benefits payable pursuant to Article X, in the form of a single lump sum payment. The lump sum payment described in the preceding sentence shall be calculated by converting the benefits otherwise payable to the Participant at the time such benefits are to commence into a lump sum amount of equivalent actuarial value when computed using the actuarial factors described in Section (c)(iv) of Article XII of the Plan. A Participant who elects to receive a single lump sum payment pursuant to the second preceding sentence may further elect that, in the event that the Participant dies while employed, benefits payable as a result of the Participant's death, other than benefits payable pursuant to Section (c)(i) or (c)(ii) of Article XII of the Plan, shall be paid to the Participant's Spouse without taking into account the election made under the second preceding sentence. Any election by a Participant to receive benefits under the Plan in the form of a single lump sum payment shall be in writing on a form provided by the Company, which form shall be filed with the Company (a) prior to the Participant's termination of employment with the Employers because of involuntary termination of employment (including by reason of disability) or death or (b) at least 180 days prior to the Participant's voluntary termination of employment with the Employers. Subject to the approval of the Committee, any such election may be changed or revoked by the Participant at any time and from time to time by the filing of a later written election with the Company; provided, that any election made less than 180 days prior to a Participant's voluntary termination of employment shall not be valid, and in such case, payment shall be made in accordance with the latest valid election of the Participant. The payment by the Employers of a lump sum amount to a Participant (or his Spouse, Beneficiary or estate) pursuant to this Section shall discharge all obligations of the Employers to such Participant (or his Spouse, Beneficiary or estate) under the Plan. Payment of benefits in the form of a single lump sum payment pursuant to the election of a Participant under this Article is subject to the approval of the Committee, which may, in its sole and absolute discretion, approve or withdraw its prior approval of such election at any time prior to the date the lump sum payment is actually paid to the Participant and instead require that benefits be paid in such other form as is permitted by the Plan. ARTICLE XV MISCELLANEOUS (a) FUNDING. The obligation of the Employers to pay Supplemental Retirement Benefits under the Plan constitutes the unsecured promise of the Employers to make payments from their general assets, and no Participant, Spouse or Beneficiary shall have any interest in, or a lien or prior claim upon, any property of the Employers. With respect to the Supplemental Retirement Benefits under the Plan, each Participant, Spouse or Beneficiary shall have the status of a general unsecured creditor of the Participant's Employer. The Company shall establish a so-called "rabbi trust" to hold funds, stock or other securities to be used in payment of the obligations of the Employers under the Plan, and may fund such trust; provided, however, that any funds contained therein shall remain subject to the claims of the general creditors of the Company or any other Employer for which the Participant performs services. It is the intention of the Employers that the Plan be unfunded for tax purposes and for purposes of Title I of ERISA. No liability for the payment of benefits under the Plan shall be imposed upon any officer, director, employee or stockholder of the Company or any other Employer, or upon the Board, the Committee or any member thereof. (b) NO GUARANTY OF BENEFITS. Nothing contained in this Plan shall constitute a guaranty by any Employer, the Committee or the Board that the assets of any Employer will be sufficient to pay any benefit hereunder. (c) ASSIGNMENTS AND RESTRICTIONS. To the extent permitted by law, and except as otherwise provided in this Section (c), no right or interest of a Participant or Spouse under this Plan shall be transferable or assignable (either at law or in equity), nor shall any such right or interest be subject to alienation, anticipation, encumbrance, attachment, garnishment, levy, execution or other legal or equitable process of any kind, voluntary or involuntary, or in any manner be liable for or subject to the debts of any Participant or Spouse. If a Participant shall attempt to or shall transfer, assign, alienate, anticipate, sell, pledge or otherwise encumber his benefits hereunder or any part thereof, or if by reason of his bankruptcy or other event happening at any time such benefits would devolve upon anyone else or would not be enjoyed by him, then the Company, in its discretion, may terminate his interest in any such benefit to the extent the Company considers necessary or advisable to prevent or limit the effects of such occurrence. Termination shall be effected by filing a "termination declaration" with the Committee and making reasonable efforts to deliver a copy to the Participant (the "Terminated Participant") whose interest is affected thereby. As long as the Terminated Participant is alive, any benefits affected by the termination shall be retained by the Company and, in the Company's sole and absolute judgement, may be paid to or expended for the benefit of the Terminated Participant, his spouse, his children or any other person or persons in fact dependent upon him in such a manner as the Company shall deem proper. Upon the death of the Terminated Participant, all benefits withheld from him and not paid to others in accordance with the preceding sentence shall be paid to the Terminated Participant's surviving Spouse or, if none, to the Terminated Participant's then living descendants, including adopted children, per stirpes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, amounts payable under this Plan may be withheld by the Company as they become due to the extent necessary to cover any debts or other obligations owed to the Company by the Participant, but only if such debts or other obligations are acknowledged as such in writing by the Participant or are confirmed as such by a final, nonappealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction. (d) HEADINGS. The various headings used in this Plan are for convenience only and shall not be used in interpreting the text of the Article, Section, paragraph or subparagraph in which they appear. (e) EMPLOYMENT. The establishment of this Plan shall not be construed to give any Participant the right to be retained in the service of the Employer. (f) APPLICABLE LAW. The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of this Plan shall be governed by the internal substantive laws of the State of Ohio, without giving effect to the principles of conflict of laws of such State. (g) BINDING EFFECT ON EMPLOYER, PARTICIPANTS, SPOUSES AND THEIR SUCCESSORS. This Plan shall be binding and inure to the benefit of any Employer or its successors and assigns, and the Participants, Spouses and their heirs, legatees, distributees, executors, administrators or other legal representatives. (h) AMENDMENT AND DISCONTINUANCE. The Company reserves the right in its sole discretion to amend or terminate this Plan at any time with regard to itself or any Employer, provided that no such amendment or termination shall affect any benefits then being paid to Participants or Spouses under the Plan as of the date of such termination and the rights of or with respect to all other Participants at the time of any such termination to immediate or deferred Supplemental Retirement Benefits shall be determined as if the employment of each such Participant had been involuntarily terminated, but not Terminated for Cause, on the date of such termination. After any termination of the Plan, each Employer shall remain obligated to pay those benefits described in the preceding sentence in accordance with the terms of the Plan in effect immediately before such termination. (i) PARTICIPANT INFORMATION. Each Participant shall keep the Committee informed of his current address and the current address of his Spouse, if applicable. The Participant shall furnish to the Committee any and all information deemed by the Committee to be necessary or desirable for the proper administration of the Plan. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Diebold, Incorporated Supplemental Employee Retirement Plan has been executed this 15 day of July, 2002, effective as of July 1, 2002.
