PACCAR INC SAVINGS INVESTMENT PLAN
(As Amended and Restated Effective January 1, 2009)
Effective January 1, 1955, Pacific Car and Foundry Company, the corporate predecessor of PACCAR Inc (a Delaware corporation), adopted the Pacific Car and Foundry Company Profit Sharing Plan and executed a Trust Agreement to provide profit-sharing benefits for its salaried employees
The Plan has been subsequently amended and restated and has been renamed the PACCAR Inc Savings Investment Plan. Effective April 1, 2005, PACCAR Inc amended and restated the Plan to provide that a portion of the Plan will constitute an employee stock ownership plan within the meaning of IRC section 4975(e)(7). Effective January 1, 2006, PACCAR Inc amended and restated the Plan to comply with final regulations under IRC section 401(k) and to make certain other amendments. Effective January 1, 2007, PACCAR Inc further amended and restated the Plan to incorporate amendments requested by the Internal Revenue Service in its October 23, 2008 determination letter for the Plan. Effective January 1, 2009, PACCAR Inc amended and restated the Plan to comply with the Pension Protection Act of 2006 and to make certain other amendments. Certain provisions, which are specifically identified, have a different effective date.
ARTICLE 1
PURPOSE AND SCOPE
1.1 | Purpose of Plan |
The purposes of this amended and restated Plan are:
(a) | To encourage systematic savings and investment by Eligible Employees as a means of building financial security; |
(b) | To increase the identification of Eligible Employees with the Companys financial success; |
(c) | To provide Eligible Employees with a flexible savings and investment program enabling them to make decisions concerning the rate of return and relative risk of the investments made for their Accounts, as their personal or economic conditions change; and |
(d) | To offer additional inducements which will attract and retain Eligible Employees with the knowledge and skills necessary for the Companys success. |
The Plan provides for contributions to be made by the Company to aid in accomplishing these purposes.
The Plan and the Trust Agreement are intended to meet the requirements of IRC sections 401(a), 401(k) and 501(a). The assets of the Plan are held in trust and are invested for the exclusive purpose of providing benefits to Members of the Plan and their Beneficiaries.
1
The Plan is intended to qualify as an eligible individual account plan under section 407(d)(3) of ERISA, which is permitted to acquire and hold any amount of qualifying employer securities, and a portion of the Plan is intended to qualify as an employee stock ownership plan under IRC section 4975(e)(7), which portion is designed to invest primarily in PACCAR Stock.
1.2 | Scope of Plan |
The Plan, as set forth herein, applies to Members who are in employment as Employees on or after January 1, 2009. The rights and benefits, if any, of a former Employee shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the Plan as in effect on the date when his employment terminated.
1.3 | PACCAR Inc Administers for Participating Subsidiaries; Allocation of Cost |
All acts required of the Company hereunder shall be performed by PACCAR Inc for itself and each of its participating Subsidiaries. The cost of the Plan shall be apportioned equitably among PACCAR Inc and its participating Subsidiaries; provided that if a Subsidiary is prevented from making any contribution which it otherwise would have made under the Plan by reason of having insufficient Current or Accumulated Earnings and Profits, then the contribution which such Subsidiary would have made shall be made by PACCAR Inc and its other participating Subsidiaries in such proportions as PACCAR Inc may determine, and in accordance with and subject to the deductible contribution limitations of IRC section 404 and the provisions of Article 5.

ARTICLE 4
SALARY DEFERRALS AND ROLLOVER CONTRIBUTIONS
4.1 | Amount of Salary Deferrals |
Salary Deferrals are required of all Members other than Restricted Members. Subject to Section 4.15 and the limitations of this Article 4 and Article 15, any such Member may elect to contribute Salary Deferrals equal to any whole percentage of his Compensation received each pay period after becoming a Member, but not in excess of 35 percent of such Compensation. Salary Deferrals are not permitted to be made by a Member for any payday on which such Member is not an Eligible Employee.
The amount of a Members Salary Deferrals shall be withheld by the Company from his Compensation on each payday. All Salary Deferrals so withheld shall be paid by the Company to the Trustee as soon as reasonably practicable, but in no event later than the 15th day of the month next following the month in which they would otherwise have been payable to the Member in cash. Salary Deferrals shall be fully vested and nonforfeitable at all times.
For Federal income tax purposes (and, wherever permitted, for state and local tax purposes), Salary Deferrals shall be deemed to be employer contributions to the Plan, and a Members election to commence or continue his membership in the Plan shall constitute an election to have his taxable compensation reduced by the amount of all of his Salary Deferrals.
On or after February 1, 1983, no Member shall make any Member Contributions to the Plan. However, Member Contributions made before February 1, 1983, shall remain credited to the Members Employee Accounts until they are withdrawn or distributed pursuant to the provisions of the Plan.
4.2 | Involuntary Reduction of Salary Deferral Rate |
At any time prior to or during a Plan Year, the Company (at its sole discretion) may reduce the maximum rate at which any Member may contribute Salary Deferrals to the Plan for such Plan Year or during the remainder of such Plan Year, or the Company may require that any Member discontinue all Salary Deferrals for the remainder of such Plan Year, for the purpose of meeting the special nondiscrimination rules under the IRC. Any reduction or discontinuance of Salary Deferrals may be applied selectively to individual Members or to particular classes of Members, as the Company may determine. In addition to requiring a prospective reduction or discontinuance of Salary Deferrals, the Company may distribute to any Member such portion of the Salary Deferrals that he already contributed for a Plan Year as it determines is necessary to meet the special nondiscrimination rules under the IRC for such year, as provided in Sections 4.5, 4.9 and 15.3 below.
4.3 | Voluntary Change of Salary Deferral Rate |
A Member may elect at any time to change the rate of his Salary Deferrals prospectively to any other percentage permitted under this Article 4. Any election pursuant to this Section 4.3 shall be made in accordance with the Companys written procedures applicable at the time of the election.
13
4.4 | Voluntary Suspension of Salary Deferrals |
A Member may elect to suspend all Salary Deferrals at any time, thereby becoming a Restricted Member pursuant to Section 3.4. Any such election shall be made in accordance with the Companys written procedures. Any election to resume Salary Deferrals shall become effective as soon as reasonably practical after it is received by the Company, but in no event earlier than 90 days after the effective date of the election to suspend Salary Deferrals.
When a Member resumes Salary Deferrals following such suspension, he may make new elections under this Article 4 regarding the amount and allocation thereof; provided, however, that if he does not make such new elections, his previous elections shall be applicable.
4.5 | Return of Excess Deferrals |
Subject to Section 4.15, the aggregate Salary Deferrals of any Member for any calendar year, together with his or her elective deferrals under any other plan or arrangement to which section 402(g) of the IRC applies and that is maintained by PACCAR Inc or any Subsidiary (as defined in Section 2.1(nn) without regard to the last sentence thereof), shall not exceed $15,000 (or such larger amount as may be adopted by the Commissioner of Internal Revenue to reflect a cost-of-living adjustment). In the event that such aggregate Salary Deferrals and elective deferrals of any Member for any calendar year exceed $15,000 (or such larger amount as may be adopted by the Commissioner of Internal Revenue to reflect a cost-of-living adjustment), then such portion of the Excess Deferrals, and any income or loss allocable to such portion for the calendar year (but not for the period between the end of the calendar year and the date of distribution of such Excess Deferrals) shall be refunded to the Member not later than the April 15 next following the close of such calendar year. Such income (and loss) allocable to Excess Deferrals shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation section 1.402(g)-1(e)(5).
In the event that a Members elective deferrals (within the meaning of section 402(g)(3) of the IRC) for a calendar year exceed $15,000 (or such larger amount as may be adopted by the Commissioner of Internal Revenue to reflect a cost-of-living adjustment) solely because such Member participated in this Plan and a plan or arrangement maintained by an employer other than PACCAR Inc or any Subsidiary (as defined in Section 2.1(nn) without regard to the last sentence thereof), then such Member may designate all or a portion of such Excess Deferrals as attributable to this Plan and may request a refund of such portion by notifying the Company in writing on or before the March 1 next following the close of such calendar year. If timely notice is received, then such a Members Excess Deferrals, and any income or loss allocable thereto, shall be refunded to the Member from this Plan no later than the April 15 next following the close of such calendar year.
14
4.6 | Average Deferral Percentage Limitation |
The Plan shall satisfy the average deferral percentage test provided in section 401(k)(3) of the IRC and section 1.401(k)-1 of the Income Tax Regulations issued thereunder. Subject to the special rules described in Section 4.11, the Aggregate 401(k) Contributions of Highly Compensated Employees shall not exceed the limits described below:
(a) | An Actual Deferral Percentage shall be determined for each Highly Compensated Employee who, at any time during the Plan Year, is a member (including a suspended Member) or is eligible to participate in the Plan, which Actual Deferral Percentage shall be the ratio, computed to the nearest one-hundredth of one percent, of the Highly Compensated Employees Aggregate 401(k) Contributions for the Plan Year to the Highly Compensated Employees Section 414(s) Compensation for the Plan Year; |
(b) | An Actual Deferral Percentage shall be determined for each Nonhighly Compensated Employee who, at any time during the Plan Year, is a Member (including a suspended Member) or is eligible to participate in the Plan, which Actual Deferral Percentage shall be the ratio, computed to the nearest one-hundredth of one percent, of the Nonhighly Compensated Employees Aggregate 401(k) Contributions for the Plan Year to the Nonhighly Compensated Employees Section 414(s) Compensation for the Plan Year; |
(c) | The Actual Deferral Percentages (including zero percentages) of Highly Compensated Employees and Nonhighly Compensated Employees shall be separately averaged to determine each groups Average Deferral Percentage; and |
(d) | The Aggregate 401(k) Contributions of Highly Compensated Employees shall constitute Excess Contributions and shall be reduced, pursuant to Sections 4.8 and 4.9, to the extent that the Average Deferral Percentage of Highly Compensated Employees exceeds the greater of (1) 125 percent of the Average Deferral Percentage of Nonhighly Compensated Employees or (2) the lesser of (A) 200 percent of the Average Deferral Percentage of Nonhighly Compensated Employees or (B) the Average Deferral Percentage of Nonhighly Compensated Employees plus two percentage points. |
4.7 | Determination of Maximum Actual Deferral Percentage and Dollar Amount of Excess Contributions |
The maximum Actual Deferral Percentage shall be determined by use of a leveling process, whereby the Aggregate 401(k) Contributions of the Highly Compensated Employee with the highest Actual Deferral Percentage are reduced to the extent required to (a) eliminate all Excess Contributions or (b) cause such Highly Compensated Employees Actual Deferral Percentage to equal the Actual Deferral Percentage of the Highly Compensated Employee with the next-highest Actual Deferral Percentage. Such leveling process shall be repeated until the average deferral percentage test is satisfied.
15
With regard to each Highly Compensated Employee whose Actual Deferral Percentage is in excess of the maximum permitted Actual Deferral Percentage, a dollar amount of Excess Contributions shall then be determined by subtracting the product of the maximum permitted Actual Deferral Percentage and the Highly Compensated Employees Section 414(s) Compensation from the Highly Compensated Employees Aggregate 401(k) Contributions. The amounts shall then be aggregated to determine the total dollar amount of Excess Contributions.
4.8 | Allocation of Excess Contributions to Highly Compensated Employees |
Any Excess Contributions for a Plan Year shall be allocated to Highly Compensated Employees by use of a leveling process, whereby the Aggregate 401(k) Contributions of the Highly Compensated Employee with the highest dollar amount of Aggregate 401(k) Contributions are reduced to the extent required to (a) eliminate all Excess Contributions or (b) cause such Highly Compensated Employees Aggregate 401(k) Contributions to equal the Aggregate 401(k) Contributions of the Highly Compensated Employee with the next-highest Aggregate 401(k) Contributions. Such leveling process shall be repeated until all Excess Contributions for such Plan Year are allocated to Highly Compensated Employees.
4.9 | Distribution of Excess Contributions |
Effective for Plan Years beginning on or after January 1, 2008, Excess Contributions allocated to Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year pursuant to Section 4.8, together with any income or loss allocable to such Excess Contributions for the Plan Year (but not for the period between the end of the Plan Year and the date of distribution of such Excess Contributions) shall be distributed to such Highly Compensated Employees not later than the March 15 next following the close of such Plan Year, if possible, and in any event no later than 12 months following the close of such Plan Year. Such income (and loss) allocable to Excess Contributions shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation section 1.401(k)-2(b)(2)(iv). Any Salary Deferrals distributed pursuant to this Section 4.9 shall not be included in the Salary Deferrals that attract a Company Contribution under Section 5.2. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent Excess Contributions allocated to a Highly Compensated Employee for the Plan Year pursuant to Section 4.8 could otherwise constitute Age 50 Catch-Up Deferrals pursuant to Section 4.15, such Excess Contributions shall be recharacterized as Age 50 Catch-Up Deferrals for the Plan Year rather than be distributed to the Highly Compensated Employee as described above.
4.10 | Qualified Company Contributions |
The Company, in its sole discretion, may include all or a portion of the Company Contributions for a Plan Year in Aggregate 401(k) Contributions taken into account in applying the Average Deferral Percentage limitation described in Section 4.6 for such Plan Year, provided that the requirements of section 1.401(k)-2(a)(6) of the Income Tax Regulations are satisfied.
4.11 | Special Rules |
The following special rules shall apply for purposes of this Article 4:
(a) | The amount of Excess Deferrals to be distributed to a Member for a calendar year pursuant to Section 4.5 shall be reduced by the amount of any Excess Contributions previously distributed to such Member for the Plan Year ending within such calendar year; |
16
(b) | The amount of Excess Contributions to be distributed to a Member for a Plan Year pursuant to Section 4.8 shall be reduced by the amount of any Excess Deferrals previously distributed to such Member for the calendar year ending with such Plan Year; |
(c) | For purposes of applying the limitation described in Section 4.6, the Actual Deferral Percentage of any Highly Compensated Employee who is eligible to make Salary Deferrals and to make elective deferrals (within the meaning of section 402(g)(3) of the IRC) under any other plans, contracts or arrangements maintained by PACCAR Inc or any Subsidiary (as defined in Section 2.1(nn) without regard to the last sentence thereof) shall be determined as if all such Salary Deferrals and elective deferrals were made under a single arrangement (other than those plans that may not be permissively aggregated); provided, however, that if such plans have different plan years, the plans are aggregated with respect to contributions made within this Plans Plan Year only; |
(d) | In the event that this Plan is aggregated with one or more other plans in order to satisfy the requirements of IRC section 401(a)(4), 401(k) or 410(b), then all such aggregated plans, including the Plan, shall be treated as a single plan for all purposes under all such IRC sections (except for purposes of the average benefit percentage provisions of IRC section 410(b)(2)(A)(ii)); |
(e) | In the event that the mandatory disaggregation rules of Treasury Regulation section 1.401(k)-1(b) apply to the Plan, or to the Plan and other plans with which it is aggregated as described in Subsection (d) above, then the limitation described in Section 4.6 shall be applied as if each mandatorily disaggregated portion of the Plan (or aggregated plans) were a single arrangement |
(f) | Provided this limit is applied uniformly in determining the Average Deferral Percentage limitation for the Plan Year, the Company may limit Section 414(s) Compensation to the amount of such compensation paid to the Eligible Employee during the portion of the Plan Year that such Member was an Eligible Employee; and |
(g) | If the Plan permits participation in the 401(k) portion of the Plan prior to an Eligible Employees satisfaction of the minimum age and service requirements of section 410(a)(1)(A) of the IRC and if section 410(b)(4)(B) of the IRC is applied in determining whether the 401(k) portion of the Plan meets the requirements of section 410(b) of the IRC, then for purposes of performing the average deferral percentage test, the test may be performed separately with regard to Eligible Employees who have not met the minimum age and service requirements of section 410(a)(1)(A) of the IRC or, alternatively, Eligible Employees who have not met the minimum age and service requirements of section 410(a)(1)(A) of the IRC |
17
may instead be excluded in the determination of the Average Deferral Percentage for Nonhighly Compensated Employees, but not in the determination of the Average Deferral Percentage for Highly Compensated Employees. |
4.12 | Allocation of Salary Deferrals |
A Member shall elect to allocate his Salary Deferrals among the Investment Options designated by the Company. Each Eligible Employee shall elect, when he enrolls in the Plan, to allocate Salary Deferrals to one or more Investment Options in any whole percentage increment. A Member who is an Employee may elect to change the relative amounts of future Salary Deferrals being allocated to one or more Investment Options in any whole percentage increment.
4.13 | Diversification of Salary Deferral Account or Employee Account |

ARTICLE 5
COMPANY CONTRIBUTIONS
5.1 | Amount of Company Contributions |
The Company may, in its sole discretion, make one or more Company Contributions during each Plan Year with respect to Members Salary Deferrals (other than Age 50 Catch-Up Deferrals). The Companys rate of contribution and the frequency and manner in which the
19
Company makes its contribution shall be decided by the Company in its sole discretion with respect to each Plan Year. Company Contributions initially may be paid to a suspense account maintained by the Trustee as part of the Plan.

5.2 | Allocation of Company Contributions |
Company Contributions, determined under Section 5.1, shall be allocated as of the last day of each Plan Year to the Company Contributions Account of each Member who has completed a 12-month Period of Service on or before the last day of such Plan Year and who is an Employee on such date or who terminated employment during such Plan Year due to:

20
5.3 | Average Contribution Percentage Limitation |
The Plan shall satisfy the average contribution percentage test provided in section 401(m)(2) of the IRC and section 1.401(m)-1 of the regulations issued thereunder. Subject to the special rules described in Section 5.8, the Aggregate 401(m) Contributions of Highly Compensated Employees shall not exceed the limits described below:
(a) | An Actual Contribution Percentage shall be determined for each Highly Compensated Employee who is eligible to receive an allocation of Company Contributions under Section 5.2 (assuming, for this purpose, that Salary Deferrals have been allocated to such individuals Accounts), which Actual Contribution Percentage shall be the ratio, computed to the nearest one-hundredth of one percent, of the Highly Compensated Employees Aggregate 401(m) Contributions for the Plan Year to the Highly Compensated Employees Section 414(s) Compensation for the Plan Year; |
(b) | An Actual Contribution Percentage shall be determined for each Nonhighly Compensated Employee who, at any time during the Plan Year, is a Member (including a suspended Member) or is eligible to participate in the Plan, which Actual Contribution Percentage shall be the ratio, computed to the nearest one-hundredth of one percent, of the Nonhighly Compensated Employees Aggregate 401(m) Contributions for the Plan Year to the Nonhighly Compensated Employees Section 414(s) Compensation for the Plan Year; |
(c) | The Actual Contribution Percentages (including zero percentages) of Highly Compensated Employees and Nonhighly Compensated Employees shall be separately averaged to determine each groups Average Contribution Percentage; and |
(d) | The Aggregate 401(m) Contributions of Highly Compensated Employees shall constitute Excess Aggregate Contributions and shall be reduced, pursuant to Sections 5.5 and 5.6, to the extent that the Average Contribution Percentage of Highly Compensated Employees exceeds the greater of (1) 125 percent of the Average Contribution Percentage of Nonhighly Compensated Employees or (2) the lesser of (A) 200 percent of the Average Contribution Percentage of Nonhighly Compensated Employees or (B) the Average Contribution Percentage of Nonhighly Compensated Employees plus two percentage points. |
5.4 | Determination of Maximum Actual Contribution Percentage and Dollar Amount of Excess Aggregate Contributions |
The maximum Actual Contribution Percentage shall be determined by use of a leveling process, whereby the Aggregate 401(m) Contributions of the Highly Compensated Employee with the highest Actual Contribution Percentage are reduced to the extent required to (a) eliminate all Excess Aggregate Contributions or (b) cause such Highly Compensated Employees Actual Contribution Percentage to equal the Actual Contribution Percentage of the Highly Compensated Employee with the next-highest Actual Contribution Percentage. Such leveling process shall be repeated until the average contribution percentage test is satisfied.
21
With regard to each Highly Compensated Employee whose Actual Contribution Percentage is in excess of the maximum permitted Actual Contribution Percentage, a dollar amount of Excess Aggregate Contributions shall then be determined by subtracting the product of the maximum permitted Actual Contribution Percentage and the Highly Compensated Employees Section 414(s) Compensation from the Highly Compensated Employees Aggregate 401(m) Contributions. The amounts shall then be aggregated to determine the total dollar amount of Excess Aggregate Contributions.
5.5 | Allocation of Excess Aggregate Contributions to Highly Compensated Employees |
Any Excess Aggregate Contributions for a Plan Year shall be allocated to Highly Compensated Employees by use of a leveling process, whereby the Aggregate 401(m) Contributions of the Highly Compensated Employee with the highest Aggregate 401(m) Contributions are reduced to the extent required to (a) eliminate all Excess Aggregate Contributions or (b) cause such Highly Compensated Employees Aggregate 401(m) Contributions to equal the Aggregate 401(m) Contributions of the Highly Compensated Employee with the next-highest Aggregate 401(m) Contributions. Such leveling process shall be repeated until all Excess Aggregate Contributions for such Plan Year are allocated to Highly Compensated Employees.
5.6 | Distribution of Excess Aggregate Contributions |
Effective for Plan Years beginning on or after January 1, 2008, Excess Aggregate Contributions allocated to Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year pursuant to Section 5.5, together with any income or loss allocable to such Excess Aggregate Contributions for the Plan Year (but not for the period between the end of the Plan Year and the date of distribution of such Excess Aggregate Contributions) shall be distributed to such Highly Compensated Employees not later than the March 15 next following the close of such Plan Year, if possible, and in any event no later than 12 months following the close of such Plan Year.

22
Subsidiary (as defined in Section 2.1(nn) without regard to the last sentence thereof) shall be determined as if Company Contributions allocated to such Highly Compensated Employees Accounts and all such employee contributions and matching contributions were made under a single arrangement (other than those plans that may not be permissively aggregated); provided, however, that if such plans have different plan years, the plans are aggregated with respect to contributions made within this Plans Plan Year only; |
(b) | In the event that this Plan is aggregated with one or more other plans in order to satisfy the requirements of IRC section 401(a)(4), 401(m) or 410(b), then all such aggregated plans, including the Plan, shall be treated as a single plan for all purposes under all such IRC sections (except for purposes of the average benefit percentage provisions of IRC section 410(b)(2)(A)(ii)); |
(c) | In the event that the mandatory disaggregation rules of Treasury Regulation section 1.401(m)-1(b) apply to the Plan, or to the Plan and other plans with which it is aggregated as described in Subsection (b) above, then the limitation described in Section 5.3 shall be applied as if each mandatorily disaggregated portion of the Plan (or aggregated plans) were a single arrangement; |
(d) | Provided this limit is applied uniformly in determining the Actual Contribution Percentage limitation for the Plan Year, the Company may limit Section 414(s) Compensation to the amount of such compensation paid to the Eligible Employee during the portion of the Plan Year that such Member was an Eligible Employee; and |
(e) | If the Plan permits participation in the 401(m) portion of the Plan prior to an Eligible Employees satisfaction of the minimum age and service requirements of section 410(a)(1)(A) of the IRC and if section 410(b)(4)(B) of the IRC is applied in determining whether the 401(m) portion of the Plan meets the requirements of section 410(b) of the IRC, then for purposes of performing the average contribution percentage test, the test may be performed separately with regard to Eligible Employees who have not met the minimum age and service requirements of section 410(a)(1)(A) of the IRC or, alternatively, Eligible Employees who have not met the minimum age and service requirements of section 410(a)(1)(A) of the IRC may instead be excluded in the determination of the Average Contribution Percentage for Nonhighly Compensated Employees, but not in the determination of the Average Contribution Percentage for Highly Compensated Employees. |

Any other provision of this Article 8 notwithstanding, effective for distributions made on or after March 28, 2005, if the value of a Members entire Benefit equals $1,000 or less before the first payment of such Benefit is made, then the Benefit automatically shall be paid to such Member (or, in the case of his termination as a result of his death, to his Beneficiary) in a single lump sum in cash as soon as administratively practicable after the Members termination and without his consent. The foregoing notwithstanding, (a) in the case of a Member who has made the election described in Section 5.2, the determination of whether the value of the Members entire Benefit equals $1,000 or less shall be made immediately following the last day of the Plan Year in which such Member terminated employment and (b) in the event of termination of a Members employment due to a Layoff, payment shall be made as soon as administratively practicable following the last day of the Plan Year following the Plan Year in which the termination of employment occurred.

(a) | Member Dies Before Benefit Distribution |
This Subsection (a) shall apply only in the event that a Member elected to receive all or a portion of his Benefit in annual installments (previously available under the Plan with respect to distributions commencing prior to May 1, 2003), and then dies after installment payments have commenced but before such payments are completed. Such Members Benefit ordinarily shall be paid to his Beneficiary in the form of a single lump sum in cash, and the distribution ordinarily shall be made as soon as reasonably practicable after the Members death. A Beneficiary may, however, make request to defer the distribution of the Benefit to which such Beneficiary is entitled. However, the distribution shall in no event be made later than five years after the Members death. A Beneficiary shall make the request to receive the Benefit to which such Beneficiary is entitled or to defer receipt in accordance with the Companys written procedures.

Upon commencement of membership, each Member shall name one or more persons as the Beneficiary who will receive any distribution payable under the Plan in the event of the Members death. The designation shall be registered with the Company in accordance with the Companys written procedures. If the Member has not made an effective designation of a Beneficiary or if none of the named
32
Beneficiaries is living when any distribution is to be made, then (1) the spouse of the deceased Member shall be the Beneficiary or (2) if the Member has no spouse living at the time of such distribution, then the living children of the deceased Member shall be the Beneficiaries in equal shares or (3) if the Member has neither spouse nor children living at the time of such payment, the estate of the Member shall be the Beneficiary. The Member may change his designation of a Beneficiary from time to time in accordance with procedures established by the Company. Any other provision of this Subsection (b) notwithstanding, in the case of a married Member, any designation of a person other than his spouse as Beneficiary shall be effective only if the spouse consents to the designation in writing and such written consent is witnessed by a notary public.
8.10 | No Alienation of Benefits; Qualified Domestic Relations Order |
No benefit payable under the Plan shall be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, charge, garnishment, execution or levy of any kind, either voluntary or involuntary, prior to actually being received by the person entitled to such benefit under the terms of the Plan; and any attempt to anticipate, alienate, sell, transfer, assign, pledge, encumber, charge or otherwise dispose of any right to a benefit payable hereunder shall be void. However, neither of the following shall constitute a violation of this Section 8.10:
(a) | The creation or recognition of a right in an alternate payee to any pension payable with respect to a Member pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order (as defined in IRC Section 414(p)), as determined in accordance with procedures established by the Company, and the payment of benefits in accordance with the applicable requirements of such order; or |
(b) | The Trustees compliance with instructions from the Company to reduce a Members benefit by amounts the Member is ordered or required to pay the Plan, where such order or requirement: (i) arises under a judgment of conviction for a crime involving the Plan, under a civil judgment (including a consent order or decree) entered by a court on or after August 5, 1997 in an action brought in connection with a violation of part 4 of subtitle B of title I of ERISA or under a settlement entered into on or after August 5, 1997 with the Department of Labor asserting a violation of part 4 of subtitle B of title I of ERISA; and (ii) the judgment, order, decree or settlement expressly provides for the offset of all or part of the amount ordered or required to be paid to the Plan against the Members benefits provided under the Plan. |
Pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order, the Plan may distribute any benefit payable to an alternate payee in the form of a single lump sum in cash prior to the earliest date upon which the Member could receive his Benefit. To the extent that a qualified domestic relations order creates, assigns, or recognizes the right of an alternate payee to any portion of the Benefit otherwise payable to or with respect to a Member, such portion shall not thereafter be taken into account in determining the Benefit payable to or with respect to that Member under the Plan.
33
8.11 | Facility of Payment |
Whenever, in the Companys opinion, a person entitled to receive any distribution of a Benefit or installment thereof is under a legal disability or is physically or mentally incapacitated in any way so as to be unable to manage his financial affairs, the Company may direct the Trustee to make distribution to such person or to his legal representative or to a relative or friend of such person for his benefit; or the Company may direct the Trustee to apply the payment for the benefit of such person in such manner as the Company considers advisable.
8.12 | Unclaimed Benefits |
If any Benefit, or a portion thereof, becomes distributable under the Plan and the Company is unable to locate the Member or Beneficiary to whom the distribution is payable for three consecutive Plan Years, then the Members Accounts shall be closed after the third consecutive Plan Year during which such distribution is payable but the Member or Beneficiary cannot be found. The amount of the unpaid Benefit shall be applied to reduce Company Contributions (unless mandatory provisions of applicable escheat laws require other application, in which case such Benefit shall be applied as such mandatory laws require), as determined by the Company. If, however, the Member or Beneficiary subsequently makes a proper claim to the Company for any Benefit applied to reduce Company Contributions, then such Benefit (without income, gains or other adjustment) shall be restored to the Members Accounts from contributions made by the Company for this purpose, without regard to Current or Accumulated Earnings and Profits. The Benefit shall thereafter be distributable in accordance with the terms of the Plan.
8.13 | Payments Discharge Plan; Adverse Claims |
Any payment or distribution made to any person in full compliance with the terms of the Plan shall fully discharge the Company, the Plan and any Trustee or insurance company making such payment from all adverse claims thereto respecting which prior written notice has not been given to any such entity making or directing the payment or distribution. If the Company has received actual written notice of any adverse claim to any payment or distribution not yet made, the Company may suspend distribution and take such other action as it deems necessary or advisable to protect the Plan or its Members and Beneficiaries, until the respective rights of all interested persons have been determined to the satisfaction of the Company.
8.14 | Direct Rollovers |
(a) | Direct Rollover Option |
Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary that would otherwise limit a Distributees election under this Section, a Distributee may elect, at the time and in the manner prescribed by the Company, to have any portion of an Eligible Rollover Distribution paid directly to an Eligible Retirement Plan specified by the Distributee in a Direct Rollover.

18.2 | Minimum Allocations |
For any Plan Year during which the Plan is a Top-Heavy Plan, Company Contributions allocated to the Accounts of each Member who is not a Key Employee, but who is an Employee on the last day of such Plan Year, shall not be less than the lesser of (a) three percent of Wages or (b) the greatest allocation, expressed as a percentage of Compensation made to any Member who is a Key Employee.
This Section 18.2 shall not apply to any Member for a Plan Year during which the Member received a minimum accrued benefit described in section 416(c)(1) of the IRC under a qualified defined-benefit plan maintained by PACCAR Inc or any of its Subsidiaries (determined without regard to the last sentence of Section 2.1(nn)).
