The Survivor Benefit payable to the Beneficiary of a Participant who is entitled to a Pension Benefit and who dies on or after the Participant’s Payment Date shall be in the form selected by the Participant commencing as of such Payment Date. Where a Participant who is entitled to a Pension Benefit dies prior to his Payment Date, the form of payment of his or her Spouse’s Survivor Benefit shall be the same as the form of payment of any Death Benefit payable under the Pension Plan.
     Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, the Non-Grandfathered Pension Benefit payable on the death of the Participant shall be payable in accordance with Section 3.2(c).
     5.4 Cashout Distributions.
     (a) Distribution of Participant’s Pension Benefit: If at a Participant’s Termination of Employment, the Single Lump Sum value of the Participant’s Pension Benefit is equal to or less than $20,000, the Trust Committee shall distribute to the Participant such Single Lump Sum value.
     (b) Distribution of Pre-Retirement Spouse’s Survivor Benefit: If at the Participant’s date of death, the Single Lump Sum value of the Beneficiary’s Survivor Benefit to be paid is equal to or less than $20,000, the Trust Committee shall distribute to the Beneficiary such Single Lump Sum.
Any Single Lump Sum distributed under this section shall be in lieu of the Pension Benefit or Survivor Benefit that otherwise would be distributable to the Participant or Beneficiary hereunder.
     5.5 Prior to 2001. The timing and form of payment of a Pension Benefit or Survivor Benefit with respect to a Participant or Beneficiary as of any date of determination prior to January 1, 2001, shall be determined by the terms and provisions of the ERP as of such date.

If, prior to a Change of Control or more than three (3) years after a Change of Control, either (1) the Participating Employer or (2) the Parent, is rated below an Investment Grade Rating and the Participant’s Payment Date has not occurred, then on such date of rating below Investment Grade Rating, and on each December 31 after such date and prior to the date the Participating Employer and the Parent both have an Investment Grade Rating, a single sum payment shall be made immediately to such Participant of the amount by which the Actuarial Equivalent of (1) exceeds the sum of (2) plus (3):
     (1) the amount determined in Section 3.1(a) based upon the assumption that (A) the Participant has a nonforfeitable right to his Retirement Benefit from the Pension Plan, (B) the Participant incurs a Termination of Employment as of the date of determination, and (C) the Retirement Benefit payable from the Pension Plan would commence upon the earliest date of payment allowed under the Pension Plan immediately following such Termination of Employment.

     (c) Survivor Benefit. If either (1) the Participating Employer or (2) the Parent is rated below an Investment Grade Rating, then a Beneficiary who is receiving, or would as of such date otherwise be eligible to commence to receive a Survivor Benefit shall be paid immediately an Single Lump Sum payment of such unpaid Survivor Benefit.
     (d) Non-Grandfathered Benefit. This Section 5.6 shall not apply to the Non-Grandfathered Pension Benefit.
     5.7 Payment of Pension Due to a Change of Control. On and after a Change of Control involving the Parent or a Participating Employer and notwithstanding Sections 5.1 or 5.3, the following shall apply:
     (a) Termination of Employment. Upon Termination of Employment of a Participant within three (3) years following a Change of Control, a single sum payment shall be made immediately to such Participant of the amount by which the Actuarial Equivalent of (1) exceeds (2) plus (3):

11


 

     (1) the amount determined in Section 3.1(a) based upon the assumption that (A) the Participant has a nonforfeitable right to his Retirement Benefit from the Pension Plan, (B) the Participant’s early Retirement Benefit under the Pension Plan is determined using the Table of reduction factors that would have been available to such Participant had he or she not incurred a Termination of Employment until the third (3rd) anniversary of the Change of Control date and based upon the Participant’s age as of the Payment Date, and (C) the Retirement Benefit payable from the Pension Plan would commence upon the earliest date of payment allowed under the Pension Plan.

     (b) Investment Grade Rating Within Three Years.

     (c) Non-Grandfathered Benefit. This Section 5.7 shall not apply to the Non-Grandfathered Pension Benefit.
ARTICLE VI
AMENDMENT
     6.1 Prior to a Change of Control. The Company reserves the right to amend this Plan with respect to the Pension Benefit (or Survivor Benefit) accrued as a liability of each Participating Employer from time to time by action of its Senior Vice President, but without the written consent of each Participant and Beneficiary of a deceased Participant, no such action may reduce or relieve the Participating Employer of any obligation with respect to any Pension Benefit (or Survivor Benefit) accrued by such Participant (or Beneficiary) as of the date of such amendment, except to the extent such amendment is required by written opinion of counsel to the Company to avoid recognition of income by a Participant or Beneficiary subject to federal income taxation.
     6.2 After a Change of Control. This Plan may not be amended with respect to the Pension Benefit (or Survivor Benefit) accrued as a liability of each Participating Employer maintained by a Participating Employer following a Change of Control for that Participating Employer without the consent of affected Participants of such Participating Employer; however, this Section 6.2 will not apply to the Pension Benefit (or Survivor Benefit) accrued as a liability by Participating Employers not involved in a Change of Control.

ARTICLE VII
TERMINATION
     The Company, by action of the Board of Directors, reserves the right to terminate this Plan with respect to the Pension Benefit (or Survivor Benefit) accrued as a liability of each Participating Employer, provided the Participating Employer pays to each Participant and Beneficiary, on such date of termination of this Plan, the Single Lump Sum value of a Participant’s unpaid Pension Benefit (or of a Beneficiary’s unpaid Survivor Benefit) as of the date of termination shall be paid as soon as administratively possible; provided however, for this purpose a Participant’s Pension Benefit shall be equal to the amount by which the Actuarial Equivalent of (1) exceeds (2) plus (3):
     (1) the amount determined in Section 3.1(a) based upon the assumption that (A) the Participant has a nonforfeitable right to his Retirement Benefit from the Pension Plan, (B) the Participant’s early Retirement Benefit under the Pension Plan is determined using the Table of reduction factors that would have been available to such Participant had he or she not incurred a Termination of Employment until the day preceding his or her sixty-fifth (65th) birthday and based upon the Participant’s age as of the Payment Date, and (C) benefits payable from the Pension Plan would commence upon the earliest date of payment allowed under the Pension Plan.
     (2) the Actuarial Equivalent of the amount determined in Section 3.1(b) based upon the same assumptions as those in subsection (a)(1) above except (A).
     (3) the Actuarial Equivalent of any amounts previously paid to the Participant under Section 5.6.
     Notwithstanding the above, except as permitted under Section 409A of the Code, payment of the Non-Grandfathered Pension Benefit following the termination of the Plan shall be made in a lump sum on the first day following the one year anniversary of the termination of the Plan.
ARTICLE VIII
ADMINISTRATION
     8.1 Authority to Administer Plan. The Plan shall be administered by the Trust Committee, which shall have the authority to interpret the Plan and issue such regulations as it deems appropriate. The Trust Committee shall maintain Plan records and make benefit calculations, and may rely upon information furnished it by the Participant in writing, including the Participant’s current mailing address, age and marital status. The Trust Committee’s interpretations, determinations, regulations and calculations shall be final and binding on all persons and parties concerned.

13


 

     8.2 Facility of Payment. Whenever, in the Trust Committee’s opinion, a person entitled to receive any payment of a benefit or installment thereof hereunder is under a legal disability or is incapacitated in any way so as to be unable to manage his or her financial affairs, the Trust Committee may make payments to such person or to the legal representative of such person for his or her benefit, or the Trust Committee may apply the payment for the benefit of such person in such manner as it considers advisable. Any payment of a benefit or installment thereof in accordance with the provisions of this section shall be a complete discharge of any liability for the making of such payment under the provisions of the Plan.
     8.3 Claims Procedure.
     (a) Definitions. For purposes of this Section 8.3, the following words or phrases in quotes when capitalized will have the meaning set forth below:
     (1) “Adverse Benefit Determination” means a denial, reduction or the termination of, or a failure to provide or make payment (in whole or in part) with respect to a Claim for a benefit, including any such denial, reduction, termination, or failure to provide or make payment that is based on a determination of a Participant’s or Beneficiary’s eligibility to participate in the Plan.

     (A) were relied upon by the Trust Committee in making the benefit determination;
     (B) were submitted to, considered by or generated for, the Trust Committee in the course of making the benefit determination, without regard to whether such documents, records or other information were relied upon by the Trust Committee in making the benefit determination;

     (D) constitute a statement of policy or guidance with respect to the Plan concerning the denied benefit for the Participant’s circumstances,

14


 

without regard to whether such advice was relied upon by the Trust Committee in making the benefit determination.
     (b) Procedure for Filing a Claim. In order for a communication from a Claimant to constitute a valid Claim, it must satisfy the following paragraphs (1) and (2) of this paragraph (b).
     (1) Any Claim submitted by a Claimant must be in writing on the appropriate Claim form (or in such other manner acceptable to the Trust Committee) and delivered, along with any supporting comments, documents, records and other information, to the Trust Committee in person, or by mail postage paid, to the address for the Trust Committee.
     (2) Claims and appeals of denied Claims may be pursued by a Participant or an authorized representative of the Participant (each of whom will be referred to in this section as a “Claimant”). However, the Trust Committee may establish reasonable procedures for determining whether an individual has been authorized to act on behalf of a Participant.
     (c) Initial Claim Review. The initial Claim review will be conducted by the Trust Committee, with or without the presence of the Claimant, as determined by the Trust Committee in its discretion. The Trust Committee will consider the applicable terms and provisions of the Plan and amendments to the Plan, information and evidence that is presented by the Claimant and any other information it deems relevant. In reviewing the Claim, the Trust Committee will also consider and be consistent with prior determinations of Claims from other Claimants who were similarly situated and which have been processed through the Plan’s claims and appeals procedures within the past 24 months.
     (d) Initial Benefit Determination.
     (1) The Trust Committee will notify the Claimant of the Trust Committee’s determination within a reasonable period of time, but in any event (except as described in paragraph (2) below) within 90 days after receipt of the Claim by the Trust Committee.
     (2) The Trust Committee may extend the period for making the benefit determination by 90 days if it determines that such an extension is necessary due to matters beyond the control of the Plan and if it notifies the Claimant, prior to the expiration of the initial-90 day period, of circumstances requiring the extension of time and the date by which the Trust Committee expects to render a decision.
     (e) Manner and Content of Notification of Adverse Benefit Determination.
     (1) The Trust Committee will provide a Claimant with written or electronic Notice of any Adverse Benefit Determination, in accordance with applicable Department of Labor regulations.

15


 

     (2) The Notification will set forth in a manner calculated to be understood by the Claimant:
     (A) The specific reason or reasons for the Adverse Benefit Determination;
     (B) Reference to the specific provision(s) of the Plan on which the determination is based;
     (C) Description of any additional material or information necessary for the Claimant to perfect the Claim and an explanation of why such material or information is necessary; and

     (f) Procedure for Filing a Review of an Adverse Benefit Determination.
     (1) Any appeal of an Adverse Benefit Determination by a Claimant must be brought to the Trust Committee within 60 days after receipt of the Notice of the Adverse Benefit Determination. Failure to appeal within such 60-day period will be deemed to be a failure to exhaust all administrative remedies under the Plan. The appeal must be in writing utilizing the appropriate form provided by the Trust Committee (or in such other manner acceptable to the Trust Committee); provided, however, that if the Trust Committee does not provide the appropriate form, no particular form is required to be utilized by the Participant. The appeal must be filed with the Trust Committee at the address listed in the Summary Plan Description.
     (2) A Claimant will have the opportunity to submit written comments, documents, records and other information relating to the Claim.
     (g) Review Procedures for Adverse Benefit Determinations.
     (1) The Trust Committee will provide a review that takes into account all comments, documents, records and other information submitted by the Claimant without regard to whether such information was submitted or considered in the initial benefit determination.
     (2) The Claimant will be provided, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to and copies of all Relevant Documents.
     (3) The review procedure may not require more than two levels of appeals of an Adverse Benefit Determination.

16


 

     (h) Timing and Notification of Benefit Determination on Review. The Trust Committee will notify the Claimant within a reasonable period of time, but in any event within 60 days after the Claimant’s request for review, unless the Trust Committee determines that special circumstances require an extension of time for processing the review of the Adverse Benefit Determination. If the Trust Committee determines that an extension is required, written Notice will be furnished to the Claimant prior to the end of the initial 60-day period indicating the special circumstances requiring an extension of time and the date by which the Trust Committee expects to render the determination on review, which in any event will be within 60 days from the end of the initial 60-day period. If such an extension is necessary due to a failure of the Claimant to submit the information necessary to decide the Claim, the period in which the Trust Committee is required to make a decision will be tolled from the date on which the notification is sent to the Claimant until the Claimant adequately responds to the request for additional information.
     (i) Manner and Content of Notification of Benefit Determination on Review.
     (1) The Trust Committee will provide a written or electronic Notice of the Plan’s benefit determination on review, in accordance with applicable Department of Labor regulations.
     (2) The Notification will set forth:
     (A) The specific reason or reasons for the Adverse Benefit Determination;
     (B) Reference to the specific provision(s) of the Plan on which the determination is based;
     (C) A statement that the Claimant is entitled to receive, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to and copies of all Relevant Documents; and

     (j) Statute of Limitations. No cause of action may be brought by a Claimant who has received an Adverse Benefit Determination later than two years following the date of such Adverse Benefit Determination.
     8.4 Notices to Participants, Etc. Any notice, report or statement given, made, delivered or transmitted to a Participant or any other person entitled to or claiming benefits under the Plan will be deemed to have been duly given, made or transmitted when sent via messenger, delivery service, facsimile or mailed by first class mail with postage prepaid and addressed to the Participant or such person at the address last appearing on the records of the Trust Committee. A Participant or other person may record any change of his or her address from time to time by following the procedures established by the Trust Committee.

17


 

     8.5 Notices to Trust Committee. Any written direction, notice or other communication from Participants or any other person entitled to or claiming benefits under the Plan to the Trust Committee will be deemed to have been duly given, made or transmitted either when delivered to such location as will be specified upon the forms prescribed by the Trust Committee for the giving of such direction, notice or other communication or when otherwise received by the Trust Committee.
ARTICLE IX
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
     9.1 Expenses. The expenses of administering this Plan shall be borne by each Participating Employer, as determined by the Trust Committee.
     9.2 Indemnification and Exculpation. The members of the Trust Committee, its agents and officers, directors and employees of the Company and each Participating Employer shall be indemnified and held harmless by each Participating Employer against and from any and all loss, cost, liability, or expense that may be imposed upon or reasonably incurred by them in connection with or resulting from any claim, action, suit, or proceeding to which they may be a party or in which they may be involved by reason of any action taken or failure to act under this Plan and against and from any and all amounts paid by them in settlement (with the Participating Employer’s written approval) or paid by them in satisfaction of a judgment in any such action, suit, or proceeding. The foregoing provision shall not be applicable to any person if the loss, cost, liability, or expense is due to such person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.
     9.3 Funding. While all benefits payable under this Plan with respect to Participants of a Participating Employer constitute general corporate obligations, the Company may establish a separate irrevocable grantor trust for the benefit of all Participants, which trust shall be subject to the claims of the general creditors of each Participating Employer in the event of such corporation’s insolvency, to be used as a reserve for the discharge of that Participating Employer’s obligations under this Plan to its Participants. Any payments made to a Participant under the separate trust for his or her benefit shall reduce dollar for dollar the amount payable to the Participant from the general assets of the Participating Employer. The amounts payable under this Plan shall be reflected on the accounting records of the Participating Employer with respect to its Participants but shall not be construed to create or require the creation of a trust, custodial, or escrow account, except as described above in this Section. No Participant (or Beneficiary of a Participant) shall have any right, title, or interest whatever in or to any investment reserves, accounts, or funds that the Participating Employer may purchase, establish, or accumulate to aid in providing benefits under this Plan. Nothing contained in this Plan, and no action taken pursuant to its provisions, shall create a trust or fiduciary relationship of any kind between the Company, a Participating Employer, the Parent or Compensation Committee and a Participant, Beneficiary or any other person. Neither a Participant nor Beneficiary shall acquire any interest greater than that of an unsecured, general creditor. Neither the Company, the Parent nor another Participating Employer will have any liability for the Pension Benefit (or Survivor Benefit) of a Participant of a different Participating Employer, nor will the assets of any trust held for the benefit of the Company or another Participating Employer be used to pay the Pension Benefit (or Survivor Benefit) of a Participant of a different Participating Employer.

18


 

     9.4 Corporate Action. Any action required of or permitted by the Company under this Plan shall be by resolution of its Board of Directors, the Compensation Committee or any person or persons authorized by resolution of such Compensation Committee.
     9.5 Interests not Transferable. Amounts payable under the Plan or the right to receive future benefits under the Plan shall not 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, and any attempt to anticipate, alienate, sell, transfer, assign, pledge, encumber, charge or otherwise dispose of any right to benefits payable hereunder, including any assignment or alienation in connection with a divorce, separation, child support or similar arrangement, shall be null and void and not binding on a Participating Employer. A Participating Employer shall not in any manner be liable for, or subject to, the debts, contracts, liabilities, engagements or torts of any person entitled to benefits hereunder.
     9.6 Effect on Other Benefit Plans. Amounts credited or paid under this Plan shall not be considered to be compensation for the purposes of a qualified pension plan maintained by the Company, the Parent or any Participating Employer. The treatment of such amounts under other employee benefits plans shall be determined pursuant to the provisions of such plans.
     9.7 Legal Fees and Expenses. After a Change of Control, the Participating Employer involved in the Change of Control shall pay all reasonable legal fees and expenses which the Participant or a Beneficiary may incur as a result of the Participating Employer’s contesting the validity, enforceability or the Participant’s interpretation of, or determinations made under, this Plan or the Trust with respect to Pension Benefits (or Survivor Benefits) of that Participating Employer.
     9.8 Deduction of Taxes from Amounts Payable.
     (a) Distribution. The Participating Employer shall deduct from the amount to be distributed such amount as the Participating Employer, in its sole discretion, deems proper to protect the Participating Employer against liability for the payment of death, succession, inheritance, income, or other taxes, and out of money so deducted, the Participating Employer may discharge any such liability and pay the amount remaining to the Participant, the Beneficiary or the deceased Participant’s estate, as the case may be.
     (b) Withholding. The Participating Employer may withhold whatever taxes (including FICA, state or federal taxes) it, in its sole discretion, deems proper to protect the Participating Employer against liability for the payment of such withholding taxes and out of the money so deducted, the Participating Employer may discharge any such liability. Withholding for this purpose may come from any wages due to the Participant, or if none, from the Participant’s Pension Benefit hereunder.
     9.9 Facility of Payment. If a Participant or Beneficiary is declared an incompetent or is a minor and a conservator, guardian, or other person legally charged with his or her care has been appointed, any benefits to which such Participant or Beneficiary is entitled shall be payable to such conservator, guardian, or other person legally charged with his or her care. The decision of the Trust Committee in such matters shall be final, binding, and conclusive upon the

19


 

Company, Participating Employer and upon each Participant, Beneficiary, and every other person or party interested or concerned. The Company, Participating Employer and the Trust Committee shall not be under any duty to see to the proper application of such payments.
     9.10 Merger. This Plan shall be binding and enforceable with respect to the obligation of each Participating Employer against any successor to such Participating Employer by operation of law or by express assumption of the Plan, and such successor shall be substituted hereunder for the Participating Employer.
     9.11 409A. The Non-Grandfathered Benefit(s) under the Plan are intended and shall be construed to meet the requirements of Section 409A of the Code.
     9.12 Gender and Number. Except when the context indicates to the contrary, when used herein, masculine terms shall be deemed to include the feminine, and singular the plural.
     9.13 Invalidity of Certain Provisions. If any provision of this Plan shall be held invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions hereof and this Plan shall be construed and enforced as if such provisions, to the extent invalid or unenforceable, had not been included.
     9.14 Headings. The headings or articles are included solely for convenience of reference, and if there is any conflict between such headings and the text of this Plan, the text shall control.
     9.15 Governing Law. This Plan shall be governed by the laws of the State of Minnesota.
