Eighteenth: Subsection (3)(b) in the Appendix is further amended by replacing the last paragraph therein with the following paragraphs:

The Applicable Mortality Table means the mortality table set forth in Revenue Ruling 95-6, 1995-14 C.B. 80, or such other mortality table as may be prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury (for purposes of Code section 417(e)) based on the prevailing Commissioner’s standard table used to determine reserves for group annuity contracts issued on the date as of which the present value is being determined.

Effective December 31, 2002, and notwithstanding any other provisions to the contrary, the Applicable Mortality Table used for purposes of adjusting any benefit or limitation under Code sections 415(b)(2)(B), (C), or (D) for purposes of Plan section 9.01 and the Applicable Mortality Table used for purposes of satisfying the requirements of Code section 417(e) is the table prescribed in Revenue Ruling 2001-62.

 

   

Code section 417(e)(3) Applicable Mortality Table: Notwithstanding the previous paragraphs, and for distributions with Annuity Starting Dates occurring during Plan Years beginning on or after January 1, 2008, the Applicable Mortality Table for purposes of satisfying the requirements of Code section 417(e)(3) shall mean the mortality table specified for the Plan Year under Code section 430(h)(3)(A). The Code section 417(e)(3) Applicable Mortality Table for each subsequent year shall be provided by the Department of Treasury and will be determined from the Code section 430(h)(3)(A) mortality tables on the same basis as the 2008 Applicable Mortality Table described in Revenue Ruling 2007-67, and shall automatically apply to distributions with Annuity Starting Dates (other than a retroactive annuity starting date) to which the specific subsequent Applicable Mortality Table applies, without the necessity of amending the Plan.

The Applicable Mortality Table that is used for purposes of adjusting any benefit or limitation under Code section 415(b)(2)(B), (C), or (D) shall remain the same.

Nineteenth: The Appendix is further amended by adding by following paragraphs at the end of subsection (3)(b) therein:

Actuarial Equivalence for Payments Subject to Code section 417(e)(3). The straight life annuity that is actuarially equivalent to the Participant’s form of benefit shall be determined under this subsection 3(b) if the form of the Participant’s benefit is subject to Code section 417(e)(3) (i.e., payable in the form of a decreasing annuity, including a lump sum). In this case, the actuarially equivalent straight life annuity shall be determined as follows:

(A) Annuity Starting Date in Plan Years Beginning After 2005. If the Annuity Starting Date of the Participant’s form of benefit is in a Plan Year

 

Owens & Minor, Inc. Pension Plan   5  


beginning after 2005, the Actuarially Equivalent straight life annuity is the greatest of the annual amount of the straight life annuity commencing at the Annuity Starting Date that has the same actuarial present value as the particular form of benefit payable, computed using:

(i) the interest rate and mortality table (or other tabular factor) specified in the Plan for purposes of adjusting benefits in the same form; or

(ii) a 5.5 percent interest rate and the Applicable Mortality Table; and

(iii) the Applicable Interest Rate and the Applicable Mortality Table, divided by 1.05

(B) Annuity Starting Dates in Plan Years Beginning Before 2006. If the Annuity Starting Date of the Participant’s form of benefit is in a Plan Year beginning before 2006, the Actuarially Equivalent straight life annuity is the greater of the annual amount of the straight life annuity commencing at the Annuity Starting Date that has the same actuarial present value as the particular form of benefit payable, computed using:

(i) the interest rate and mortality table (or other tabular factor) specified in the Plan for purposes of adjusting benefits in the same form; or

(ii) a 5.5 percent interest rate and the Applicable Mortality Table except that, in the case of Plan Years beginning before 2004, “the Applicable Interest Rate” shall be substituted for “5.5 percent interest rate.”

(C) Annuity Starting Dates in 2004. If the Annuity Starting Date of the Participant’s benefit is on or after the first day of the first Plan Year beginning in 2004 and before December 31, 2004, the application of paragraph (B), above, shall not cause the amount payable under the Participant’s form of benefit to be less than the benefit calculated under the Plan, taking into account the limitations of this Plan section 9.01 and Code section 415 as incorporated by reference therein, except that the Actuarially Equivalent straight life annuity is equal to the annual amount of the straight life annuity commencing at the same Annuity Starting Date that has the same actuarial present value as the Participant’s form of benefit, computed using whichever of the following sets of factors produces the greatest annual amount:

(i) the interest rate and mortality table (or other tabular factor) specified in the Plan for purposes of adjusting benefits in the same form;

(ii) the Applicable Interest Rate and Applicable Mortality Table; or

(iii) the Applicable Interest Rate (as in effect on the last day of the last Plan Year beginning before January 1, 2004, under provisions of the Plan then adopted and in effect) and the Applicable Mortality Table.

III. Final Treasury Regulations under Code section 415 effective for Limitation Years starting on and after July 1, 2007.

Twentieth: Plan section 9.01, “Maximum Retirement Benefit,” is amended by replacing subsection (a) with the following:

(a) Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Plan, the maximum annual benefit to which a Participant is entitled to under the Plan, shall not, in any Limitation Year, exceed the applicable limitations of Section 415 of the Code and the final Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder. Code section 415 is hereby incorporated by reference. The limitations shall be applied on a uniform basis with respect to all similarly situated participants in a Limitation Year. The amount payable to a Participant in any Limitation Year shall not exceed the Code section 415(b) limit applicable at the Annuity Starting Date, notwithstanding cost-of-living adjustments pursuant to final Treasury Regulations section 1.415(d)-1 as applicable. If there is any discrepancy between the provisions of this Article IX and the provisions of Code section 415 and the Regulations thereunder, such discrepancy shall be resolved in such a way as to give full effect to the provisions of Code section 415 and accompanying Treasury Regulations.

Twenty-first: Plan section 9.01 is further amended by adding new subsection (f) at the end thereof:

(f) Grandfathered Benefits. The application of the provisions of this Plan section 9.01 shall not cause the maximum permissible benefit for any Participant to be less than the Participant’s Accrued Benefit under all the Defined Benefit Plans of the Employer or a predecessor employer as of the end of the last Limitation Year beginning before July 1, 2007 under provisions of the plans that were both adopted and in effect before April 5, 2007. The preceding sentence applies only if the provisions of such Defined Benefit Plans that were both adopted and in effect before April 5, 2007, satisfied the applicable requirements of statutory provisions, regulations, and other published guidance relating to Code section 415 in effect as of the end of the last Limitation Year beginning before July 1, 2007, as described in Treasury Regulations section 1.415(a)-1(g)(4).
