A new Article XIII is added to the Plan to read as follows:

If the value of a Remaining Participant’s Accrued Benefit does not exceed $5,000 as of the Termination Date, a lump sum payment equal to the value of such Remaining Participant’s Accrued Benefit shall be paid to the Remaining Participant as of December 1, 2018, subject to such Remaining Participant’s completion of all necessary paperwork in connection with such payment; provided that, if any such Remaining Participant (1) does not complete the necessary paperwork in connection with the payment of such

If the value of a Remaining Participant’s Accrued Benefit exceeds $5,000, such Remaining Participant may elect to commence payment of such Remaining Participant’s entire Accrued Benefit under the Plan in the form of (1) a lump sum, (2) any of the optional forms of retirement benefit set forth in Section 6.03 of the Plan, or (3) if such Remaining Participant has a spouse, a Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity; provided that, if any such Remaining Participant elects a lump sum but does not cash the lump sum check within 90 days of the date the check is issued, then such Remaining Participant’s Accrued Benefit shall be sent to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation’s Missing Participants Program. The Plan Administrator will establish procedures governing the election of benefits under Section 13.03(a) and this Section 13.03(b), including procedures for revoking any such elections. Such procedures will comply with applicable Treasury Regulations.

Any lump sum payable pursuant to Sections 13.03(a) or (b) shall be equal to the Present Value of a Remaining Participant’s Accrued Benefit calculated using the Applicable Interest Rate and the Applicable Mortality Table; provided that in no event will a Remaining Participant’s lump sum be less than the balance of such Remaining Participant’s Required Contribution Account and:

For any Remaining Participant who is eligible to receive an early retirement benefit, such Remaining Participant’s lump sum will be equal to the greater of (1) the amount described above in Section 13.03(c) and (2) the Present Value of a single life annuity with a 5-year certain period; and

For any Remaining Participant who is over age 65, such Remaining Participant’s lump sum will be equal to such Remaining Participant’s late retirement benefit, as determined in accordance with Section 4.06 of the Plan.

Any optional form of retirement benefit paid pursuant to Section 13.03(b)(2) and any Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity paid pursuant to Section 13.03(b)(3) will be determined using the same rules that are generally applicable to such forms of payment under the Plan; provided that:

For any Remaining Participant who is at least age 55 but who has not reached age 65 as of the Termination Date, the value of a single life annuity with a 5-year certain period will be equal to such Remaining Participant’s Accrued Benefit on the Termination Date, reduced by 1/3 of 1% for each full calendar month by which the Termination Date precedes such Remaining Participant’s Normal Retirement Date; and

For any Remaining Participant who has not reached age 55 as of the Termination Date, the value of a single life annuity with a 5-year certain period will be equal to such Remaining Participant’s Accrued Benefit on the Termination Date, reduced (1) by 40%, plus (2) further reduced for the period of time between the Termination Date and such Remaining Participant’s 55^th birthday, using the Applicable Interest Rate and Applicable Mortality Table.”
