Optional Payment Forms. (a) In lieu of the normal form of payment provided in Section 3.01 hereof, a Participant may elect to receive his or her retirement benefits in one of the following optional forms of payment as hereinafter described, or, if applicable, any other optional forms described in the applicable Part, each of which is the Actuarial Equivalent of the Participant’s Accrued Benefit: (i) Life Only Option. A monthly benefit in the amount determined under the applicable Part shall be payable to the Participant for life, with the final payment being paid for the month in which the Participant dies. (ii) 10-Year Period Certain Option. An actuarially reduced benefit shall be payable to the Participant through the month in which the Participant dies, and in the event the Participant dies prior to receiving 120 monthly payments, monthly payments in the same amount shall be continued payable to the Participant’s Beneficiary until an aggregate of 120 monthly payments have been made. (iii) Joint and 50% Survivor Option. An actuarially reduced benefit shall be payable to the Participant through the month in which the Participant dies and, in the event that the Participant dies before his or her Beneficiary, monthly payments equal to fifty percent (50%) of such reduced amount shall be continued to the Beneficiary for his or her life.

(b) In the event a Participant elects a form of payment that would pay benefits to a Beneficiary following the Participant’s death, then the Participant must designate a Beneficiary for purposes of this Section on a form prescribed by and submitted to the Administrator. Such designation may be changed or revoked at any time prior to the Annuity Starting Date or, in the case of the 10-Year Period Certain, at any time prior to the death of the Participant. If the Participant elects the 10-Year Period Certain Option and both the Participant and his or her Beneficiary die prior to receipt of 120 monthly payments in the aggregate, then the remainder of such 120 monthly payments shall be paid to the estate of the last to die of the Participant or his or her Beneficiary. (c) Any election pursuant to this Article III shall be made pursuant and subject to such rules and regulations as may be prescribed by the Administrator.

Any such election may be made or revoked at any time prior to the Participant’s Annuity Starting Date. Effective as of the Annuity Starting Date, the form of payment selected shall be irrevocable. The Administrator shall notify the Participant and the Spouse of their rights under this Article as required by ERISA. (d) If a Participant has an Accrued Benefit under more than one Part of this Plan, the Participant may make separate distribution elections for each Part’s benefits. Section 3.03. Commencement and Termination of Benefits. (a) Unless otherwise provided under this Article III, a Participant’s retirement benefits shall become payable as of the first day of the month in which occurs the Participant’s effective date of commencement, as described below. In no event shall benefits commence hereunder until after a Participant has terminated employment from the Employer and its Affiliates, unless expressly otherwise provided herein, and in no event shall benefits commence hereunder unless and until the Participant has made proper application therefor. (i) A Participant’s effective date of commencement of normal retirement benefits is the later of the Participant’s Normal Retirement Date or the first day of the month after his or her termination of employment from the Employer and all of its Affiliates. (ii) A Participant’s effective date of commencement of early or deferred retirement benefits is the date requested by the Participant after his or her termination from employment from the Employer and all of its Affiliates, which date shall be no earlier than his or her Early Retirement Date (as applicable) or the date otherwise permitted by the applicable Part.

Except as set forth in an applicable Part of the Plan, disability benefits shall cease if it is determined that the Participant’s Total and Permanent Disability has ceased or upon the Participant’s death prior to age sixty-five (65). At age sixty-five (65), the disability benefits shall stop and the Participant shall be entitled to a normal retirement benefit, including the right to elect optional methods of payment.
11 4841-1404-2944.2 (b) If a Participant’s benefits are being paid in a form of payment that provides for continued payments after the Participant’s death, then the death benefits shall become payable as of the first day of the month which is next following the death of the Participant. (c) Subject to applicable spousal consent rules, a Participant may elect to receive a lump sum payment of his or her Profit Sharing Benefit under Part A of the Plan at any time after his or her termination of employment but in all events no later than his or her Annuity Starting Date, whether or not he or she qualifies for a benefit pursuant to Article III of Part A. (d) Any application for benefits hereunder shall be in writing on a form provided by the Administrator and shall be made to the Administrator or to such representative as may be designated by the Administrator for that purpose. The Administrator may require any applicant for a pension to furnish to it any such information as may reasonably be required. (e) The Administrator will notify a Participant when a benefit under the Plan is requested. Within ninety (90) days but not less than thirty (30) days prior to a Participant’s anticipated Annuity Starting Date, the Administrator shall provide to the Participant a written explanation of: (i) the terms and conditions of the normal form of benefit payable to the Participant and the relative value of the optional forms of payment; (ii) a general description of the eligibility conditions under the Plan; (iii) the Participant’s right to waive the normal form of benefit and the effect of such a waiver; (iv) the rights of a Participant’s Spouse; (v) the Participant’s right to revoke a previous waiver and the effect of revoking such a waiver; and (vi) in the case of any distribution (other than an automatic cash-out of $5,000 or less) which is to commence prior to the Participant’s attainment of Normal Retirement Date, the Participant’s right to defer the commencement of the distribution until the Participant’s Normal Retirement Date and the consequences of failing to defer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Participant’s Annuity Starting Date may be less than thirty (30) days after the written explanation is provided if (i) the written explanation clearly indicates that the Participant has the right to at least thirty (30) days to consider whether to waive the normal form of distribution and election an optional form, (ii) the Participant makes an affirmative election as to the form and time of distribution, (iii) the Participant is permitted to revoke his or her affirmative election at least until the Annuity Starting Date, or if later, at any time prior to the expiration of the 7-day period that begins the day after the written explanation is provided to the Participant, and (iv) distribution in accordance with the affirmative election is made after the expiration of such 7-day period. (f) If the Participant dies prior to the Annuity Starting Date, any election under this Article shall be considered revoked and void. In any such case, benefits shall only be payable pursuant to the death benefit rules set forth in the applicable Part. (g) Benefit payments under this Article other than the guaranteed amounts under the 10-Year Period Certain Option shall end with the payment made for the first day of the month in which occurs the death of the Participant, Spouse, or Beneficiary, as applicable.

12 4841-1404-2944.2 (i) the date on which the Participant attains age 65; or (ii) the tenth anniversary of the date on which the Participant commenced participation in the Plan; or (iii) the Participant’s termination of employment with the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure of a Participant and/or Spouse to make proper application for a benefit as of the date specified above shall be deemed to be an election to defer the start of benefits. Section 3.04. Retroactive Annuity Starting Dates. (a) Limited Application of Retroactive Annuity Starting Dates. Except in the limited circumstances described in this Section, the Plan does not provide for a retroactive Annuity Starting Date (i.e., an Annuity Starting Date that occurs on or prior to the date the notice described in Section 3.03(e) is provided to the Participant). However, the Plan will permit a Participant to elect a retroactive Annuity Starting Date in the following circumstances: (i) the Participant files an application for benefits after the Participant’s Normal Retirement Date; or (ii) due to an administrative error or delay, the Administrator provides to the Participant the notice described in Section 3.03 more than ninety (90) days after the Participant has made application for benefits. (b) If eligible, a Participant may elect a retroactive Annuity Starting Date subject to the following rules: (i) Either (A) in the case of a Participant who makes an application for benefits after his or her Normal Retirement Date, the retroactive Annuity Starting Date may not be before the later of the Participant’s Normal Retirement Date or the first day of the month following the date on which the Participant terminates employment with the Employer and its Affiliates, or (B) in the case of any other eligible Participant, the retroactive Annuity Starting Date cannot be a date that precedes the first day of the month following the date on which the Participant terminates employment with the Employer and its Affiliates or, if later, the first day of the month following the date on which the Participant could have otherwise started to receive benefits under the Plan. (ii) If the Participant is married, the Participant’s Spouse as of the date the first benefit payment will be distributed will be treated as a Spouse and must consent to the retroactive Annuity Starting Date if either: (A) the amount of the survivor’s benefit payable to such Spouse under the joint and fifty percent (50%) survivor
13 4841-1404-2944.2 annuity with a retroactive Annuity Starting Date is less than the amount of the survivor’s benefit that would be payable to such Spouse under the same form of benefit that commences immediately after the notice is provided, or (B) the Participant selects an optional form of distribution (other than an optional joint and survivor benefit with respect to which such Spouse is the designated contingent annuitant). The consent of the Participant’s Spouse as of the retroactive Annuity Starting Date (if different than the Spouse as of the date benefits commence) is not required, unless otherwise required by a qualified domestic relations order. (iii) The notice described in Section 3.03(e) is timely provided to the Participant. (iv) A Participant’s benefit shall be distributed pursuant to a retroactive Annuity Starting Date only if the Participant is eligible for and elects such a distribution (with consent of the Participant’s Spouse as of the date benefits commence, where required). (v) The lump sum form of payment is not available to a Participant for any benefits distributed pursuant to a retroactive Annuity Starting Date. (c) If payment is made pursuant to a retroactive Annuity Starting Date, then the Participant shall receive, in addition to future monthly payments, a make-up payment to reflect any missed payment or payments for the period from the retroactive Annuity Starting Date to the date of the actual make-up payment, with interest, compounded annually, at a rate determined by the Administrator. Under current administrative practice, the interest rate is seven percent (7%) per annum. The retroactive payment or payments must not exceed the limits of Code Section 415 as in effect on the dates the missed payment or payments would have been made and, if the date that benefits commence is more than twelve (12) months after the Annuity Starting Date, the retroactive payment or payments must also not exceed the limits of Code Section 415 as in effect as of the date the payment or payments are actually made. Section 3.05. Death Benefits. If a vested Participant dies before his or her Annuity Starting Date, the only death benefits payable shall be those set forth in the applicable Part. If a vested Participant dies on or after his or her Annuity Starting Date, the only death benefits payable shall be those provided under the form of distribution in effect. Section 3.06. Payment of Small Amounts and Service Cancellation Rules. (a) Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, in the event the Actuarial Equivalent lump sum value of a Participant’s Accrued Benefit or the death benefits payable to a Beneficiary or surviving Spouse) is less than $5,000, then the Administrator shall pay such Actuarial Equivalent value in a lump sum to the Participant, Beneficiary or surviving
14 4841-1404-2944.2 Spouse as soon as administratively feasible following the Participant’s separation from service or death, as applicable. The Actuarial Equivalent lump sum value shall be determined as soon as administratively practicable after the Participant’s termination of employment or the date the Administrator is provided notice of the Participant’s death, as applicable. (b) In the event of a mandatory distribution greater than $1,000 that is made in accordance with subsection (a) to a Participant without the Participant’s consent, if the Participant does not elect to have such distribution paid directly to an “eligible retirement plan” specified by the Participant in a direct rollover or to receive the distribution directly, then the Administrator shall pay the distribution in a direct rollover to an individual retirement plan designated by the Administrator. (c) If a Participant’s entire vested benefit has been distributed or he or she has no vested interest at the time of his or her termination of employment from the Employer and its Affiliates, he or she shall be deemed cashed out from the Plan. (d) If an employee is reemployed in a position covered by this Plan after receiving a lump-sum benefit regardless of amount (including a deemed lump sum cashout), the prior Vesting Service and Credited Service shall be retained and used in the calculation of the subsequent benefits, if any, subject to an offset for the value of the monthly benefit paid by the lump-sum distribution. Section 3.07. Reemployment After Retirement. In the event a Participant is reemployed by the Employer or an Affiliate after commencing benefits under Article III hereof, such benefit payments shall not be suspended during the period of reemployment, except as provided in Section 3.08 or in a Part. Section 3.08. Continued Employment or Re-Employment after Normal Retirement Date. (a) A Participant who has attained age sixty-five (65) but has not retired, or who previously retired and was subsequently reemployed by the Employer or an Affiliate after attaining age sixty-five (65), shall be deemed to have terminated employment for purposes of this Plan if he or she completes fewer than forty (40) Hours of Service per calendar month. Any Participant who fails to receive benefit payments due to such employment shall be notified pursuant to the requirements of DOL Reg. § 2530.203-3. (b) For a Participant who receives an in-service distribution pursuant to the application of subsection (a), upon such Participant’s termination of employment, he or she shall be entitled to a pension hereunder based upon the Benefit Service or Credited Service, as applicable, accrued prior to his or her attainment of age sixty-five (65) and the Benefit Service or Credited Service, if any, accrued after his or her attainment of age sixty-five (65), but reduced by the Actuarial Equivalent of the total amount of benefit payments received prior to the termination of employment, but in no event shall Benefit Service or Credited Service, as applicable, be credited after the date that such Benefit Service or Credited Service has been frozen under the applicable Part of this Plan.
15 4841-1404-2944.2 (c) If a Participant receives an in-service distribution during any calendar month in which he or she completes forty (40) or more Hours of Service, such Participant’s future benefit payments shall be offset by the amount of such in-service distribution, provided that such offset does not exceed in any one month twenty-five (25%) percent of that month’s total benefit payment which would have been due but for the offset. Section 3.09. Direct Rollovers. This Section deals with Participants’ and Beneficiaries’ rights to distribution in the form of a direct rollover. (a) Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary that would otherwise limit a distributee’s election under this Plan, a distributee may elect, at the time and in the manner prescribed by the Administrator, to have any portion of an eligible rollover distribution paid directly to an eligible retirement plan specified by the distributee in a direct rollover. (b) For purposes of this Section, the following definitions apply: (i) Eligible rollover distribution: An eligible rollover distribution is any distribution of all or any portion of the balance to the credit of the distributee, except that an eligible rollover distribution does not include: (i) any distribution that is one of a series of substantially equal periodic payments (not less frequently than annually) made for the life (or life expectancy) of the distributee or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the distributee and the distributee’s designated beneficiary, or for a specified period of ten years or more; (ii) any distribution to the extent such distribution is required under Code Section 401(a)(9); or (iii) the portion of any distribution that is not includible in gross income (determined without regard to the exclusion for net unrealized appreciation with respect to employer securities). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a portion of a distribution shall not fail to be an eligible rollover distribution merely because the portion consists of after-tax employee contributions which are not includible in gross income; however, such portion may be transferred only as a direct rollover to an individual retirement account or annuity described in Code Section 408(a) or (b), a qualified plan described in Code Section 401(a) or 403(a), or a tax-deferred annuity plan described in Code Section 403(b) that agrees to separately account for amounts so transferred, including separately accounting for the portion of such distribution which is includible in gross income and the portion of such distribution which is not so includible. (ii) Eligible retirement plan: An eligible retirement plan is an individual retirement account described in Code Section 408(a), an individual retirement annuity described in Code Section 408(b), a Roth IRA described in Code Section 408A, an annuity
16 4841-1404-2944.2 plan described in Code Section 403(a), an annuity contract described in Code Section 403(b), a qualified trust described in Code Section 401(a), or an eligible plan described in Code Section 457 which is maintained by a state, political subdivision of a state, or an agency or instrumentality of a state or political subdivision of a state and which agrees to separately account for amounts transferred into such plan from this Plan, and that accepts the distributee’s eligible rollover distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a non-spouse beneficiary may roll over his or her interest only to an IRA. (iii) Distributee: A distributee includes an Employee or former Employee. In addition, the Employee’s or former Employee’s spouse, surviving spouse or former spouse who is the alternate payee under a qualified domestic relations order, as defined in Code Section 414(p), or non-spouse beneficiary qualify as distributees with regard to the interest of the spouse or former spouse. (iv) Direct rollover: A direct rollover is a payment by the Plan to the eligible retirement plan specified by the distributee. Section 3.10. Required Minimum Distributions. (a) General. The provisions of this Section 3.10 will apply for purposes of determining required minimum distributions for calendar years beginning with 2003 and will take precedence over any inconsistent provisions of the Plan. This Section 3.10 shall not be interpreted to provide any additional options to the recipient with respect to the form or timing of payment beyond the other provisions of the Plan, except as necessary to comply with the minimum requirements. All Plan distributions will be determined and made in accordance with the Treasury regulations under Code Section 401(a)(9). Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section, distributions may be made under a designation made before January 1, 1984, in accordance with Section 242(b)(2) of the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act (TEFRA) and the Plan provisions that relate to Section 242(b)(2) of TEFRA.

For distributions beginning before the Participant’s death, the first distribution calendar year is the calendar year immediately
17 4841-1404-2944.2 preceding the calendar year which contains the Participant’s required beginning date. For distributions beginning after the Participant’s death, the first distribution calendar year is the calendar year in which distributions are required to begin under Article III and/or the applicable Part of the Plan. (iii) Life Expectancy. Life expectancy means the value computed by use of the Single Life Table in Section 1.401(a)(9)-9 of the Treasury regulations. (iv) Required Beginning Date. The date described in Section 1.01(x). (c) Time and Manner of Distribution. The Participant’s entire interest will be distributed, or begin to be distributed, to the Participant no later than the Participant’s Required Beginning Date. If the Participant dies before distributions begin, the Participant’s entire interest will be distributed, or begin to be distributed, no later than as follows: (i) If the Participant’s surviving spouse is the Participant’s sole designated beneficiary, then distributions to the surviving spouse will begin by December 31 of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which the Participant died, or by December 31 of the calendar year in which the Participant would have attained age 70½, if later. (ii) If the Participant’s surviving spouse is not the Participant’s sole designated beneficiary, then distributions to each designated beneficiary will begin by December 31 of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which the Participant died. (iii) If there is no designated beneficiary as of September 30 of the year following the year of the Participant’s death, the Participant’s entire interest will be distributed by December 31 of the calendar year containing the fifth anniversary of the Participant’s death. (iv) If the Participant’s surviving spouse is the Participant’s sole designated beneficiary and the surviving spouse dies after the Participant but before distributions to the surviving spouse begin, subparagraphs (ii) and (iii) will apply as if the surviving spouse were the Participant. Unless subsection (c)(iv) applies, distributions are considered to begin on the Participant’s Required Beginning Date. If subsection (c)(iv) applies, distributions are considered to begin on the date distributions are required to begin to the surviving spouse under subsection (c)(i). If distributions irrevocably commence to the Participant before the Participant’s Required Beginning Date (or to the Participant’s surviving spouse before the date distributions are
18 4841-1404-2944.2 required to begin to the surviving spouse under subsection (c)(i)), the date distributions are considered to begin is the date distributions actually commence. (d) Forms of Distribution. Unless the Participant’s interest is distributed in the form of an annuity purchased from an insurance company or in a single sum on or before the Required Beginning Date, as of the first distribution calendar year distributions will be made in accordance with the rules regarding required minimum distributions during the Participant’s lifetime and after the Participant’s death, as applicable. If the Participant’s interest is distributed in the form of an annuity purchased from an insurance company, distributions thereunder will be made in accordance with the requirements of Code Section 401(a)(9) and the Treasury regulations. Any part of the Participant’s interest which is in the form of an individual account described in Code Section 414(k) will be distributed in a manner satisfying the requirements of Code Section 401(a)(9) and Treasury regulations that apply to individual accounts. (e) Determination of Amount to be Distributed Each Year. If the Participant’s interest is paid in the form of annuity distributions under the Plan, payments under the annuity will satisfy the following requirements: (i) the annuity distributions will be paid in periodic payments made at intervals not longer than one (1) year; (ii) the distribution period will be over a life (or lives) or over a period certain not longer than the period described in subsection (f) or (g); (iii) once payments have begun over a period, the period certain will not be changed even if the period certain is shorter than the maximum permitted; (iv) payments will either be nonincreasing or increase only (A) by an annual percentage increase that does not exceed the annual percentage increase in a cost-of-living index that is based on prices of all items and issued by the Bureau of Labor Statistics; (B) to the extent of the reduction in the amount of the Participant’s payments to provide for a surviving benefit upon death, but only if the beneficiary whose life was being used to determine the distribution period described in subsection (i) dies or is no longer the Participant’s beneficiary pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order within the meaning of Code Section 414(p); (C) to provide cash refunds of employee contributions upon the Participant’s death; or (D) to pay increased benefits that result from a plan amendment. The amount that must be distributed on or before the Participant’s Required Beginning Date (or, if the Participant dies before distributions begin, the date distributions are required to begin under subsection (c)(i) or (ii)) is the payment that is required for one (1) payment interval. The second payment need not be made until the end of the next payment
19 4841-1404-2944.2 interval even if that payment interval ends in the next calendar year. Payment intervals are the periods for which payments are received, e.g., bi-monthly, monthly, semi-annually, or annually. All of the Participant’s benefit accruals as of the last day of the first distribution calendar year will be included in the calculation of the amount of the annuity payments for payment intervals ending on or after the Participant’s required beginning date. Any additional benefits accruing to the Participant in a calendar year after the first distribution calendar year will be distributed beginning with the first payment interval ending in the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which such amount accrues. (f) Requirements For Annuity Distributions That Commence During Participant’s Lifetime. If the Participant’s interest is being distributed in the form of a joint and survivor annuity for the joint lives of the Participant and a non-spouse beneficiary, annuity payments to be made on or after the Participant’s Required Beginning Date to the designated beneficiary after the Participant’s death must not at any time exceed the applicable percentage of the annuity payment for such period that would have been payable to the Participant using the table set forth in Q&A-2 of Section 1.401(a)(9)-6 of the Treasury regulations. If the form of distribution combines a joint and survivor annuity for the joint lives of the Participant and a non- spouse beneficiary and period certain annuity, the requirement in the preceding sentence will apply to annuity payments to be made to the designated beneficiary after the expiration of the period certain. Unless the Participant’s spouse is the sole designated beneficiary and the form of distribution is a period certain and no life annuity, the period certain for an annuity distribution commencing during the Participant’s lifetime may not exceed the applicable distribution period for the Participant under the Uniform Lifetime Table set forth in Section 1.401(a)(9)-9 of the Treasury regulations for the calendar year that contains the annuity starting date. If the annuity starting date precedes the year in which the Participant reaches age 70, the applicable distribution period for the Participant is the distribution period for age 70 under the Uniform Lifetime Table set forth in Section 1.401(a)(9)-9 of the Treasury regulations plus the excess of 70 over the age of the Participant as of the Participant’s birthday in the year that contains the annuity starting date. If the Participant’s spouse is the Participant’s sole designated beneficiary and the form of distribution is a period certain and no life annuity, the period certain may not exceed the longer of the Participant’s applicable distribution period, as determined under this subsection, or the joint life and last survivor expectancy of the Participant and the Participant’s spouse as determined under the Joint and Last Survivor Table set forth in Section 1.401(a)(9)-9 of the Treasury regulations, using the Participant’s and spouse’s attained ages as of the Participant’s and spouse’s birthdays in the calendar year that contains the annuity starting date. (g) Requirements For Minimum Distributions Where Participant Dies Before Date Distributions Begin. If the Participant dies before the date distribution of the Participant’s interest begins and there is a designated beneficiary, the Participant’s entire interest will be distributed, beginning no later than the time described in subsection (c)(i) or (ii), over the life of the designated beneficiary or over a period certain not exceeding: (i) unless the annuity starting date is before the first distribution calendar year, the life expectancy of the designated beneficiary determined using the beneficiary’s age as of the beneficiary’s birthday in the calendar year immediately following the calendar year of the Participant’s death; or
20 4841-1404-2944.2 (ii) if the annuity starting date is before the first distribution calendar year, the life expectancy of the designated beneficiary determined using the beneficiary’s age as of the beneficiary’s birthday in the calendar year that contains the annuity starting date. If the Participant dies before the date distributions begin and there is no designated beneficiary as of September 30 of the year following the year of the Participant’s death, distribution of the Participant’s entire interest will be completed by December 31 of the calendar year containing the fifth anniversary of the Participant’s death. If the Participant dies before the date distribution of the Participant’s interest begins, the Participant’s surviving spouse is the Participant’s sole designated beneficiary, and the surviving spouse dies before distributions to the surviving spouse begin, this subsection will apply as if the surviving spouse were the Participant, except that the time by which distributions must begin will be determined without regard to subsection (f)(i).

22 4841-1404-2944.2 adoption of the Program, then such Eligible Participant may elect to receive his or her benefits as: (1) A single payment equal to the Lump Sum Amount payable on the Program Annuity Starting Date (or as soon as administratively feasible thereafter); or (2) An annuity, commencing on the Program Annuity Starting Date, in any annuity form otherwise available under the Plan; provided that if the Program Annuity Starting date is after the Eligible Participant’s Normal Retirement Date, then the Participant may elect to receive his or her benefits as an annuity with a retroactive Annuity Starting Date in accordance with the otherwise applicable terms of the Plan.

If an Eligible Participant elects an annuity form of payment, but does not designate the annuity form, then such Eligible Participant’s benefits will be paid as a life only annuity (for a Participant who does not have a Spouse on the Program Annuity Starting Date) or as a joint and 50% survivor annuity (for a Participant who has a Spouse on the Program Annuity Starting Date) with the Spouse as the contingent annuitant. (d) Election Period and Procedures. An Eligible Participant whose Lump Sum Amount is $5,000 or more and who wishes to participate in the Program must make the election referred to in subsection (c) above during the Election Window.

An Eligible Participant is not required to elect to commence benefits under the Program. If an Eligible Participant does not make a benefit payment election under the Program during the Election Window or does not survive to the
23 4841-1404-2944.2 Program Annuity Starting Date, then the special payment options available under the Program will no longer be available, and the Participant’s vested Plan benefit will continue to be distributable in accordance with the otherwise applicable terms of the Plan. (e) Calculation of Immediate Annuity Benefit. If an Eligible Participant elects to receive payment of his or her vested benefit in the form of an immediate monthly annuity, then the annuity shall be the actuarial equivalent of the Distributable Benefit Amount, calculated using the normal Actuarial Equivalent factors otherwise specified under the Plan for converting one form of periodic payment to another. (f) Death Before Payment. If an Eligible Participant who has elected a distribution under subsection (c) dies before the Program Annuity Starting Date, then the election shall be null and void and the only benefits payable will be in accordance with the otherwise applicable terms of the Plan.

Any Participant, Spouse or other Beneficiary under this Plan who believes that a benefit has been denied him or her hereunder (including, but not limited to, the belief that the amount or form of payment is incorrect or that payment was made to the incorrect beneficiary), who desires to determine or clarify his or her rights to future benefits hereunder (including, but not limited to, any questions relating to the vesting schedules, break in service rules, or a Participant’s beneficiary designation), or who believes an operational error has occurred affecting his or her benefit hereunder (a “claimant”) must file, or have his or her duly authorized representative file, a claim with the Administrator under this Section. Any such claim must be filed in writing stating the nature of the claim, the facts supporting the claim, the amount claimed, and the name and address of the claimant. The claim must be filed within one hundred eighty (180) days of the date the claimant knew (or should have known with reasonable diligence) of the existence of the facts giving rise to the claim.

30 4841-1404-2944.2 (30) day extension if the claim reviewer provides written notice to the claimant before the end of the first 30-day extension. In the case of any extension outlined in the preceding sentence, the notice of extension shall include (i) an explanation for the circumstances requiring the extension, (ii) the date by which the reviewer expects to render a decision, (iii) an explanation of the standards upon which the entitlement to benefits is based, (iv) the unresolved issues preventing a decision on the claim, and (v) the additional information needed to resolve those issues (the claimant shall be afforded at least forty-five (45) days within which to provide the specified information, during which time, the period for making the benefit determination will be tolled). If the claim is denied in whole or in part, the claimant shall be furnished with a written notice of such denial containing (i) the specific reason(s) for the denial, (ii) a specific reference to the Plan provisions on which the denial is based, (iii) a description of any additional material or information which it is necessary for the claimant to submit and an explanation of why such material or information is necessary, and (iv) an explanation of the Plan’s appeal procedure, including the claimant’s right to bring a suit under ERISA Section 502(a) following an adverse decision on appeal. (b) Appeals. If a claimant wishes to appeal the denial of his or her claim, he or she must mail a written notice of appeal to the Administrator certified, return receipt requested within sixty (60) days (180 days for disability benefit claims) of his or her receipt of the written denial. In order that the Administrator may expeditiously decide such appeal, the written notice of appeal should contain (i) a statement of the ground(s) for the appeal, (ii) a specific reference to the Plan provisions on which the appeal is based, (iii) a statement of the argument(s) and authority, (if any), supporting each ground for the appeal, and (iv) any other pertinent documents or comments which the appellant desires to submit in support of his or her appeal. The Administrator shall decide the claimant’s appeal within sixty (60) days of receipt of the appeal; provided that, if due to circumstances beyond the Administrator’s control, an extension of time is necessary in order to review the appeal, the Administrator shall have up to one-hundred twenty (120) days to consider the appeal of the Administrator provides written notice of the extension, the reason therefore and the expected date of determination to the claimant prior to end of the original 60-day period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for disability benefit claims the appellant’s appeal shall be decided within forty-five (45) days of the receipt of the appeal; provided that, if due to circumstances beyond the Administrator’s control, an extension of time is necessary in order to review the appeal, the Administrator shall have an additional forty-five (45) days to consider the appeal if the Administrator provides, prior to the termination of the initial forty-five (45) days, written notice to the claimant of such extension, the reason therefor, and the expected date of determination. Furthermore, the Administrator shall adhere to the following guidelines when deciding appeals of disability benefit claims: (i) the Administrator shall not afford deference to the initial adverse benefit determination, (ii) if the initial adverse benefit determination was based in whole or in part on a medical judgment, the Administrator shall consult with a health care professional who has appropriate training and experience in the field of medicine involved in the medical judgment, (iii) the Administrator shall provide for the identification of the medical or vocational experts whose advice was obtained in connection with the adverse benefit determination, regardless of whether such advice was relied upon, and (iv) any health care professional consulted for the appeal shall not be the same health care professional consulted in the initial determination nor the subordinate of such
31 4841-1404-2944.2 individual. If the appeal is denied in whole or in part, the Administrator shall provide the claimant with written notice of the denial which shall contain: (i) the reasons for the decision and reference to the Plan provisions on which the decision is based; (ii) a statement that the claimant is entitled to receive, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to and copies of all documents, records and other information relevant to the claimant’s claim; and (iii) a statement of the claimant’s right to bring a civil action under ERISA Section 502(a). If the claimant fails to receive a written notice before the end of the applicable period, the claim shall be deemed denied upon review. (c) Limitations on Actions. No claimant may commence a legal action or proceeding for benefits until after the claims and appeals procedures of this section have been exhausted and in no event after the earlier of (i) one hundred eighty (180) days after the claimant receives, or is deemed to receive, notice of a denial of his or her claim upon review under subsection (b), or (ii) the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations under applicable federal law. Section 4.08. Communications. All requests, claims, appeals, elections and other communications to the Administrator shall be in writing and shall be made by transmitting the same via the U.S. Mail, certified, return receipt requested, addressed as follows: Regal Beloit America, Inc. 200 State Street Beloit, Wisconsin 53511 Attention: Retirement Plan Committee Section 4.09.

32 4841-1404-2944.2 ARTICLE V. CONTRIBUTIONS AND FUNDING POLICY Section 5.01. Company Contribution. The Company shall make annual contributions which are at least equal to the minimum funding requirements prescribed by ERISA and the Code, unless a funding waiver is approved. The Company may make annual contributions at a rate greater than that required by ERISA and the Code, but nothing herein shall be interpreted to require the Company to contribute to the Plan at a rate greater than the minimum prescribed by ERISA and the Code or to make any contributions following the termination of the Plan, except and then only to the extent that ERISA or the Code may specifically provide otherwise. All contributions made to the Plan and all assets held for investment under the Plan (and earnings thereon) shall be held in trust with a trustee appointed by the Administrator. Section 5.02. Funding Policy. The funding policy of the Plan shall be as follows: (a) Benefits under the Plan shall be funded under a funding method recommended by the actuary and shall be provided solely by means of Company contributions plus the earnings from the investment of Plan assets. The Administrator may authorize the trustee to commingle and invest the assets accumulated under this Plan with the assets of any other plan qualified under Code Section 401(a). (b) Company contributions allocated to the Plan shall be invested in a manner consistent with the investment objectives determined by the Administrator. In establishing and implementing the investment objectives of the Plan, the Administrator shall consider the actuarial assumptions established by the actuary. The Administrator shall communicate its investment objectives and funding policy to any investment managers it selects. Section 5.03. Exclusive Benefit. All contributions made under the Plan shall be paid to the trust and all property and funds of the trust allocable to the Plan, including income from investments and from all other sources, shall be managed solely in the interest of Participants, Spouses and Beneficiaries and for the exclusive purpose of: (a) providing benefits to Participants, Spouses and Beneficiaries; and (b) defraying reasonable expenses of administering the Plan.
33 4841-1404-2944.2 ARTICLE VI. AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION Section 6.01. Amendment. Subject to the terms of any applicable bargaining agreement, the Company shall have the right, by action of its officers, to modify, alter or amend the Plan at any time and in any manner which does not cause any part of the assets of the Plan to be used for, or diverted to, any purpose other than the exclusive benefit of the Participants, Spouses or Beneficiaries. Such amendment may be retroactively effective to the extent determined by the Company to correct an operational error, to correct a drafting error, to supply an omission or clarify an ambiguity, or to implement a change that is permitted by law to be retroactively adopted, even if such amendment adversely affects the rights of a Participant or other individual with an interest under the Plan. Section 6.02. Termination. Subject to the terms of any applicable bargaining agreement, (a) the Company shall have the right to terminate the Plan, in whole or in part, by action of the Board and (b) an Employer may terminate its participation in the Plan by action of its board of directors. Section 6.03. Priorities Upon Termination. Upon complete termination of the Plan or upon partial termination of the Plan, the accrued benefit of each Participant affected by such termination or partial termination shall become fully vested to the extent then funded. In the event of a complete termination, the assets allocable to the Plan or to the portion of the Plan terminated, shall be liquidated (after provision is made for the expenses of liquidation) by the payment or provision for the payment of benefits in the manner determined by the Administrator pursuant to ERISA and the Code. Notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, a Participant shall have no recourse toward satisfaction of any benefit from other than the Plan assets allocable to the termination or from the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation. Section 6.04. Non-Reversion of Assets. In no event shall the Employers receive any amount from the Plan, except that, (a) upon termination of the Plan, and notwithstanding any other provision therein or herein, the Employers shall receive such amounts, if any, as may remain after the satisfaction of all liabilities of the Plan and arising out of any variations between actual requirements and expected actuarial requirements, (b) to the extent that any contributions hereunder are made by a mistake of fact, such amount may, at the request of the Administrator, be returned within one (1) year after it is made, and (c) all contributions hereto being hereby expressly conditioned on the deductibility of the contribution under Code Section 404, to the extent such deduction is disallowed it may, at the request of the Administrator, be returned within one (1) year after the disallowance of such deduction.
34 4841-1404-2944.2 ARTICLE VII. GENERAL PROVISIONS Section 7.01. Participants to Furnish Information. Each Participant or other person entitled to benefits under the Plan shall furnish to the Administrator such evidence, data or information as the Administrator considers necessary or desirable in order to properly administer the Plan. Section 7.02. Non-Guarantee of Employment or Other Benefits. Neither the establishment of the Plan, nor any modification or amendment hereof, nor the payment of benefits hereunder shall be construed as giving any Participant or other person whomsoever any legal or equitable right against the Employers, the Board, the Administrator, or the trustee, or the right to payment of any benefits hereunder (unless the same shall be specifically provided herein) or as giving any Employee the right to be retained in the service of the Employers or the Affiliates. Section 7.03. Responsibility for Co-Fiduciaries. Neither the Company, the Board, the Administrator nor any other person or corporation guarantees the Plan in any manner against loss or depreciation of assets, and they shall not be liable for any act or failure to act unless such is a breach of fiduciary duty under ERISA. The Company, the members of the Board, and the trustee shall not be responsible for any act or failure to act of the Administrator except as may be otherwise specifically provided under ERISA. The Administrator and the trustee shall not be responsible for any act or failure to act of the Company, or the Board, except as may be otherwise specifically provided under ERISA. The Company, the Board, and the Administrator shall not be responsible for any act or failure to act of the trustee, except as may be otherwise specifically provided under ERISA. Section 7.04. Mergers, Consolidations and Transfers of Plan Assets. In the case of any merger, consolidation with, or transfer of assets or liabilities to any other plan, each Participant must be entitled (if the Plan then terminated) to receive a benefit immediately after the merger, consolidation, or transfer which is equal to or greater than the benefit he or she would have been entitled to receive immediately before the merger, consolidation, or transfer (if the Plan then terminated) pursuant to the requirements of ERISA and the Code. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Plan terminates or there is a spinoff of part of the Plan (in excess of the 3 percent of the plan assets permitted under Treasury Regulation Section 1.414(1) 1(n)(2)) within five years following the date of any merger of another plan into this Plan, and if the sum of the assets of this Plan after any such merger was less than the sum of the present values of the accrued benefits (whether or not vested) of both plans on a termination basis on the merger date, then a special schedule of benefits shall be created from the necessary (as identified by an enrolled actuary) data maintained by the Administrator and shall be inserted in and modify the allocation priorities set forth above in this Section at the time of such termination or spinoff in accordance with Treasury Regulation Sections 1.414(1) 1(e-j) and any applicable regulations of the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation. Further, following the merger of the Predecessor Plans with and into this Plan effective December 31, 2012, there shall be established a schedule showing, with respect to the
35 4841-1404-2944.2 Participants in each of the Predecessor Plans as of the date immediately preceding the merger, the accrued benefit of each Participant as of such date, the amount of assets in each of the Predecessor Plans which would have been allocated in satisfaction of such benefits if all such plans had terminated on such date, and such other information as may be necessary to comply with applicable regulations under Code Section 414(l). In lieu of actually establishing such a schedule, the Company may maintain records sufficient to enable such a schedule to be established in the event of the termination, partial termination, or spin-off of assets of the Plan within the five-year period following the applicable merger. In the event the Plan is terminated or assets are spun-off, in whole or in part, within the five year period following any such merger, then to the extent required under Code Section 414(l), the assets of the Plan shall be allocated among Participants in accordance with the priorities established under Section 4044 of ERISA, as modified in accordance with Section 1.414(l)-1 of the Income Tax Regulations. Section 7.05. Spendthrift Clause. No Participant, former Participant, Spouse, or Beneficiary entitled to benefits hereunder shall have the right to transfer, assign, alienate, anticipate, pledge or encumber any part of such benefits, nor shall such benefits, or any part of the Plan assets or any contract from which such benefits are payable, be subject to seizure by legal process by any creditor of such Participant, former Participant, Spouse, or Beneficiary. In the event that such Participant or other person entitled to such benefits, or such creditor thereof, requests a division as hereinabove described, of any such benefit, the Administrator may, in its discretion, direct the trustee to pay over to or apply on the behalf of such Participant, former Participant, Spouse, or Beneficiary, all or any part of such benefits to which such person would otherwise have been entitled hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator shall recognize a qualified domestic relations order with respect to child support, alimony payments, or marital property rights if such order contains sufficient information for the Administrator to determine that it meets the applicable requirements of Code Section 414(p). The Administrator shall establish written procedures concerning the notification of interested parties and the determination of the validity of such orders, which procedures may include, on a uniform and nondiscriminatory basis, rules providing for the distribution of nonforfeitable benefits to the alternate payee at an earlier time than benefits might otherwise be available to the Participant. However, such procedures may not permit distribution be made to the alternate payee in a payment form otherwise not available under the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Participant’s benefit hereunder may be fully offset by the amount awarded the Plan in accordance with ERISA Section 206(d)(4). Section 7.06. Restriction on Highly Compensated Participants’ and Former Participants’ Benefits. (a) Restriction of Benefits. Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary, in the event the Plan is terminated, to the extent required by law the benefit of any Participant or former Participant who is a highly compensated employee or highly compensated former employee within the meaning of Code Section 414(4) shall be limited to a benefit that is nondiscriminatory under Code Section 401(a)(4).
36 4841-1404-2944.2 (b) Restriction on Distributions. Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary, the annual payments from the Plan to a Participant or former Participant described in subsection (c) below shall not exceed an amount equal to the payments which would have been made on behalf of such Participant or former Participant under a single life annuity which is the actuarial equivalent of the sum of his or her Accrued Benefit and other benefits under the Plan. (c) Participants and Former Participants Subject to Restriction. The Participants or former Participants who are affected by the restriction in subsection (b) above in any one (1) year are limited to the twenty-five (25) highly compensated employees or highly compensated former employees of the Company as defined in Code Section 414(q) with the greatest compensation. The Company reserves the right to amend this subsection (c) at any time. (d) Restrictions Not Applicable. The restrictions of subsection (b) shall not apply if: (i) After payment to a Participant or former Participant described in subsection (c) above of all benefits, the value of Plan assets equals or exceeds one hundred ten percent (110%) of the value of the Plan’s current liabilities, as defined in Code Section 412(1)(7); or (ii) The value of the benefits for a Participant or former Participant described in subsection (c) above is less than one percent (1%) of the value of the Plan’s current liabilities, as defined in Code Section 412(1)(7). For purposes of this subsection (d), the term “benefits” shall include any periodic income, any withdrawal values payable to a living Participant or former Participant, and any death benefits not provided for by insurance on the Participant’s or former Participant’s life. Section 7.07. Maximum Benefit. (a) The Plan is subject to the limitations on benefits and contributions imposed by Code Section 415 which are incorporated herein by this reference, including the definition of “compensation” in Code Section 415(c)(3). Specifically, no annual benefit (as defined in Code Section 415) or distribution under this Plan shall accrue or be made that would exceed the limitations of Code Section 415, as such limits are adjusted from time to time. The limitation year shall be the Plan Year. (b) For purposes of this Section 7.07 and the application of the Code Section 415 limitations, “compensation” for a terminated Participant shall include all of the following if such payments are made by the later of 2½ months after severance from employment or the end of the limitation year that includes the date of severance from employment: (i) regular compensation for services during the employee’s regular working hours, or compensation for services outside the employee’s regular working hours (such as overtime or shift
37 4841-1404-2944.2 differential), commissions, bonuses, or other similar payments if any of such payments would have been paid to the employee prior to severance from employment if the employee had continued in employment with the Company or an Affiliate; (ii) payment for unused accrued bona fide sick, vacation or other leave, but only if the employee would have been able to use the leave if employment had continued; and (iii) payments received from a nonqualified unfunded deferred compensation plan, but only if the payment would have been paid to the employee at the same time if the employee had continued in employment with the Company or an Affiliate and only to the extent the payment is includible in the employee’s gross income. No other post-severance compensation shall be included. In addition, compensation in excess of the limit in effect under Code Section 401(a)(17) for the limitation year shall not be considered. (c) In the event that there are multiple defined benefit pension plans in which a Participant participates, the following order shall determine the manner in which benefits are restricted in order to satisfy these requirements: benefits shall first be reduced under the defined benefit pension plan in which the Participant’s accrued benefit is smaller to the extent necessary, and then shall be reduced under the other defined benefit pension plan, to the extent necessary. Section 7.08. Successors and Assigns. The Plan shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of the Company. Section 7.09. Wisconsin Law Applies. The Plan shall be construed and its validity determined according to the laws of the state of Wisconsin to the extent not preempted or superseded by ERISA or applicable federal law. In case any provision of the Plan shall be held illegal or invalid for any reason, said illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts of the Plan, but the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if said illegal and invalid provisions had never been inserted herein. Section 7.10. Top-Heavy Restrictions. (a) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, in accordance with Code Section 416, if the Plan is a top-heavy plan for any Plan Year, then the provisions of this Section shall be applicable. The Plan is “top-heavy” for a Plan Year if as of the last day of the preceding Plan Year (the Plan’s “determination date”), the total present value of the accrued benefits of key employees (as defined in Code Section 416(i)(1) and applicable regulations) exceeds sixty percent (60%) of the total present value of the accrued benefits of all employees under the Plan (excluding those of former key employees) (as such amounts are computed pursuant to Section 416(g) and applicable regulations using the interest and actuarial assumptions used for the actuarial funding report for the valuation date or, if none, the immediately preceding report) unless the Plan can be aggregated with other plans maintained by the applicable controlled group in either a permissive or required aggregation group and such
38 4841-1404-2944.2 group as a whole is not top-heavy. In addition, the Plan is top-heavy if it is part of a required aggregation group which is top-heavy. Any plan of a controlled group may be included in a permissive aggregation group as long as together they satisfy the Code Sections 401(a)(4) or 410 discrimination requirements. The present values of aggregated plans are determined separately as of each plan’s determination date and the results aggregated for the determination dates which fall in the same calendar year. A “controlled group” for purposes of this Section includes any group of employers aggregated pursuant to Code Sections 414(b), (c) or (m). The calculation of the present value shall be done as of a valuation date which for a defined contribution plan is the determination date and for a defined benefit plan is the date as of which funding calculations are generally made within the twelve (12) month period ending on the determination date. In addition, the present values of accrued benefits and the amounts of account balances of an employee as of the determination date shall be increased by the distributions made with respect to the employee under the Plan and any plan aggregated with the Plan under Code Section 416(g)(2) during the 1-year period ending on the determination date. The preceding sentence shall also apply to distributions under a terminated plan which, had it not been terminated, would have been aggregated with the Plan under Code Section 416(g)(2)(A)(i). In the case of a distribution made for a reason other than severance from employment, death, or disability, this provision shall be applied by substituting “5-year period” for “1-year period.” Finally, for purposes of this Section 7.10(a), the accrued benefits and accounts of any individual who has not performed services for the employer during the 1-year period ending on the determination date shall not be taken into account. (b) If the Plan is top-heavy in a Plan Year, the maximum annual compensation utilized herein for any employee for such year shall be two hundred thousand dollars ($200,000) (or such higher amount permitted pursuant to applicable regulations due to cost of living increases), provided that no benefit accrued as of the determination date shall be diminished on account of this provision. (c) If the Plan is top-heavy in a Plan Year, the vesting schedule shall automatically be amended for any employee employed on the first day of such year or thereafter so that the vested percentage for employer-derived benefits is equal to the greater of the vesting provided under other provisions of the Plan or the following schedule: Years of Service Nonforfeitable Percentage 1 0% 2 20% 3 40% 4 60% 5 80% 6 or more 100% where “years of service” means the years credited for vesting purposes under the Plan or, if greater, the years required to be counted under Code Section 411 and applicable regulations thereto. If the Plan thereafter ceases to be top-heavy for a Plan Year, the vesting schedule above shall be disregarded and the original schedule applied, except with respect to any Participant with five (5) or more years of service and except that no Participant’s vested percentage as of the
39 4841-1404-2944.2 end of the prior year shall be decreased. Any non-vested Participant who acquires a vested interest in the employer-derived benefit by operation of the amended vesting schedule shall not be subject thereafter to a cancellation of service. Notwithstanding anything in this Section to the contrary, the amendment of the vesting schedule pursuant to this subsection shall not affect the calculation of benefit amounts or the determination of benefit commencement dates hereunder. (d) If a defined benefit plan is top-heavy in a Plan Year and no defined contribution plan is maintained, the employer-derived accrued benefit on a life only basis commencing at the normal retirement age of each non-key employee shall be at least equal to a percentage of the highest average compensation for five (5) consecutive years, excluding any years after such Plan permanently ceases to be top-heavy, such percentage being the lesser of (i) twenty percent (20%) or (ii) two percent (2%) times the years of service after December 31, 1983, in which a Plan Year ends in which a Plan is top-heavy. For purposes of this Section 7.10(d), in determining years of service, any service with the Employer shall be disregarded to the extent such service occurs during a Plan Year when the Plan benefits (within the meaning of Code Section 410(b)) no key employees or former key employees. If the controlled group maintains both a defined contribution plan and a defined benefit plan which cover the same non- key employee, such employee will only be entitled to the defined benefit plan minimum. Section 7.11. Restrictions Related to Plan Funding. (a) Limitations Applicable If the Plan’s AFTAP Is Less Than 80 Percent, But Not Less Than 60 Percent. Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan, if the Plan’s adjusted funding target attainment percentage for a Plan Year is less than 80 percent (or would be less than 80 percent to the extent described in subsection (a)(ii) below) but is not less than 60 percent, then the limitations set forth in this subsection (a) apply. (i) 50 Percent Limitation on Single Sum Payments, Other Accelerated Forms of Distribution, and Other Prohibited Payments. A Participant or beneficiary is not permitted to elect, and the Plan shall not pay, a single sum payment or other optional form of benefit that includes a prohibited payment with an annuity starting date (as defined in subsection (h) hereof) on or after the applicable section 436 measurement date, and the Plan shall not make any payment for the purchase of an irrevocable commitment from an insurer to pay benefits or any other payment or transfer that is a prohibited payment, unless the present value of the portion of the benefit that is being paid in a prohibited payment does not exceed the lesser of: (A) 50 percent of the present value of the benefit payable in the optional form of benefit that includes the prohibited payment; or (B) 100 percent of the PBGC maximum benefit guarantee amount (as defined in Section 1.436-1(d)(3)(iii)(C) of the Treasury Regulations).
40 4841-1404-2944.2 The limitation set forth in this subsection (a)(i) does not apply to any payment of a benefit which under Code Section 411(a)(11) may be immediately distributed without the consent of the Participant. If an optional form of benefit that is otherwise available under the terms of the Plan is not available to a Participant or beneficiary as of the annuity starting date because of the application of the requirements of this subsection (a)(i), the Participant or beneficiary is permitted to elect to bifurcate the benefit into unrestricted and restricted portions (as described in Section 1.436-1(d)(3)(iii)(D) of the Treasury Regulations). The Participant or beneficiary may also elect any other optional form of benefit otherwise available under the Plan at that annuity starting date that would satisfy the 50 percent/PBGC maximum benefit guarantee amount limitation described in this subsection (a)(i), or may elect to defer the benefit in accordance with any general right to defer commencement of benefits under the Plan. (ii) Plan Amendments Increasing Liability for Benefits. No amendment to the Plan that has the effect of increasing liabilities of the Plan by reason of increases in benefits, establishment of new benefits, changing the rate of benefit accrual, or changing the rate at which benefits become nonforfeitable shall take effect in a Plan Year if the adjusted funding target attainment percentage for the Plan Year is: (A) Less than 80 percent; or (B) 80 percent or more, but would be less than 80 percent if the benefits attributable to the amendment were taken into account in determining the adjusted funding target attainment percentage. The limitation set forth in this subsection (a)(ii) does not apply to any amendment to the Plan that provides a benefit increase under a Plan formula that is not based on compensation, provided that the rate of such increase does not exceed the contemporaneous rate of increase in the average wages of Participants covered by the amendment. (b) Limitations Applicable If the Plan’s AFTAP Is Less Than 60 Percent. Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan, if the Plan’s adjusted funding target attainment percentage for a Plan Year is less than 60 percent (or would be less than 60 percent to the extent described in subsection (b)(ii) below), then the limitations in this subsection (b) apply. (i) Single Sums, Other Accelerated Forms of Distribution, and Other Prohibited Payments Not Permitted. A Participant or beneficiary is not permitted to elect, and the Plan shall not pay, a single sum
41 4841-1404-2944.2 payment or other optional form of benefit that includes a prohibited payment with an annuity starting date on or after the applicable section 436 measurement date, and the Plan shall not make any payment for the purchase of an irrevocable commitment from an insurer to pay benefits or any other payment or transfer that is a prohibited payment. The limitation set forth in this subsection (b)(i) does not apply to any payment of a benefit which under Code Section 411(a)(11) may be immediately distributed without the consent of the Participant. (ii) Shutdown Benefits and Other Unpredictable Contingent Event Benefits Not Permitted to Be Paid. An unpredictable contingent event benefit with respect to an unpredictable contingent event occurring during a Plan Year shall not be paid if the adjusted funding target attainment percentage for the Plan Year is: (A) Less than 60 percent; or (B) 60 percent or more, but would be less than 60 percent if the adjusted funding target attainment percentage were redetermined applying an actuarial assumption that the likelihood of occurrence of the unpredictable contingent event during the Plan Year is 100 percent. (iii) Benefit Accruals Frozen. Benefit accruals under the Plan shall cease as of the applicable section 436 measurement date. In addition, if the Plan is required to cease benefit accruals under this subsection (b)(iii), then the Plan is not permitted to be amended in a manner that would increase the liabilities of the Plan by reason of an increase in benefits or establishment of new benefits. (c) Limitations Applicable If the Plan Sponsor Is In Bankruptcy. Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan, a Participant or beneficiary is not permitted to elect, and the Plan shall not pay, a single sum payment or other optional form of benefit that includes a prohibited payment with an annuity starting date that occurs during any period in which the Plan sponsor is a debtor in a case under title 11, United States Code, or similar Federal or State law, except for payments made within a Plan Year with an annuity starting date that occurs on or after the date on which the Plan’s enrolled actuary certifies that the Plan’s adjusted funding target attainment percentage for that Plan Year is not less than 100 percent. In addition, during such period in which the Plan sponsor is a debtor, the Plan shall not make any payment for the purchase of an irrevocable commitment from an insurer to pay benefits or any other payment or transfer that is a prohibited payment, except for payments that occur on a date within a Plan Year that is on or after the date on which the Plan’s enrolled actuary certifies that the Plan’s adjusted funding target attainment percentage for that Plan Year is not less than 100 percent. The limitation set forth in this subsection (c) does not apply to any payment of a benefit which under Code Section 411(a)(11) may be immediately distributed without the consent of the Participant.
42 4841-1404-2944.2 (d) Provisions Applicable After Limitations Cease to Apply. (i) Resumption of Prohibited Payments. If a limitation on prohibited payments under subsection (a)(i), subsection (b)(i), or subsection (c) above applied to the Plan as of a section 436 measurement date, but that limit no longer applies to the Plan as of a later section 436 measurement date, then that limitation does not apply to benefits with annuity starting dates that are on or after that later section 436 measurement date. (ii) Resumption of Benefit Accruals. If a limitation on benefit accruals under subsection (b)(iii) above applied to the Plan as of a section 436 measurement date, but that limitation no longer applies to the Plan as of a later section 436 measurement date, then benefit accruals shall resume prospectively and that limitation does not apply to benefit accruals that are based on service on or after that later section 436 measurement date, except as otherwise provided under the Plan. The Plan shall comply with the rules relating to partial years of participation and the prohibition on double proration under Department of Labor regulation 29 CFR § 2530.204-2(c) and (d). (iii) Shutdown and Other Unpredictable Contingent Event Benefits. If an unpredictable contingent event benefit with respect to an unpredictable contingent event that occurs during the Plan Year is not permitted to be paid after the occurrence of the event because of the limitation of subsection (b)(ii) above, but is permitted to be paid later in the same Plan Year (as a result of additional contributions or pursuant to the enrolled actuary’s certification of the adjusted funding target attainment percentage for the Plan Year that meets the requirements of Section 1.436- 1(g)(5)(ii)(B) of the Treasury Regulations), then that unpredictable contingent event benefit shall be paid, retroactive to the period that benefit would have been payable under the terms of the Plan (determined without regard to subsection (b)(ii)). If the unpredictable contingent event benefit does not become payable during the Plan Year in accordance with the preceding sentence, then the Plan is treated as if it does not provide for that benefit. (iv) Treatment of Plan Amendments That Do Not Take Effect. If a Plan amendment does not take effect as of the effective date of the amendment because of the limitation of subsection (a)(ii) or subsection (b)(iii), but is permitted to take effect later in the same Plan Year (as a result of additional contributions or pursuant to the enrolled actuary’s certification of the adjusted funding target attainment percentage for the Plan Year that meets the
43 4841-1404-2944.2 requirements of Section 1.436-1(g)(5)(ii)(C) of the Treasury Regulations), then the Plan amendment must automatically take effect as of the first day of the Plan Year (or, if later, the original effective date of the amendment). If the Plan amendment cannot take effect during the same Plan Year, then it shall be treated as if it were never adopted, unless the Plan amendment provides otherwise. (e) Notice Requirement.

A-11 4841-1404-2944.2 commencing with any month beginning with the month following the death of the Participant and no later than the Participant’s Normal Retirement Date, as the Spouse may elect.

Each Participant with a Profit Sharing Benefit may name, or change the name of, his or her Beneficiary who will receive any death benefits payable hereunder. To be effective, a beneficiary designation must be on file with the Administrator on the Participant’s date of death. If there is no form on file, or if the Beneficiary predeceases the Participant, the estate of the Participant shall be deemed to be his or her Beneficiary unless the Participant’s Spouse was receiving death benefits hereunder; in such event, the estate of the Spouse shall be deemed to be the Beneficiary. (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing subsections (b) and (c), a Spouse eligible for an annuity benefit pursuant to subsection (b) may elect to receive a lump sum payment equal to the Participant’s Profit Sharing Benefit, with the annuity under subsection (b) being reduced in order that the lump sum and reduced annuity are the Actuarial Equivalent of the surviving spouse annuity payable on a life only annuity basis.

The Profit Sharing Benefit shall be paid at the Participant’s direction in annual installments, commencing on the Annuity Starting Date, over a period determined by the Participant not to exceed ten years. Installments shall generally be substantially equivalent amounts, but the Participant may elect to receive part of the Profit Sharing Benefit in an initial lump sum amount on the Annuity Starting Date. During any period of installment payments, interest shall continue to be credited under the provisions of Section 1.01(l) of this Part on the outstanding balance until such entire amount has been paid to the Participant or his or her designated Beneficiary. (c) If a Participant who is eligible for a Profit Sharing Benefit elects the Lump Sum and Annuity or Installments and Annuity optional forms of payment as described in Section 4.02(b) of this Part, payment of the Participant’s annuity benefit shall commence on the same Annuity Starting Date on which the Participant receives or commences payment of his or her Profit Sharing Benefit under Section 4.02(b) of this Part.

Capitalized words and phrases defined in Section 1.02 of this Part shall have that defined meaning when used in this Part, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. Additional capitalized terms used herein are defined in Section 1.01 of the Master Plan Document. Similarly, cross references in this Part shall apply to the referenced section in this Part, unless specifically referred to as a section of the Master Plan Document. Section 1.02. Defined Terms. The following words and phrases when used in this Part shall have the following respective meanings, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise: (a) “Actuarial Equivalent” shall be determined for all purposes (except as required by Code Section 417(e)(3)) using an interest rate of six percent (6%) compounded annually and the 1971 Group Annuity Mortality Table for Males with a one year setback for Participants and a five year setback for Spouses of Participants and contingent Beneficiaries of Participants. (b) “Break in Service” means: (i) For Purposes of Eligibility Service, a computation period during which a Participant does not complete more than 500 Hours of Service. The computation period for measuring breaks in service shall be the same as for measuring Years of Eligibility Service. (ii) For Purposes of Vesting Service, a 12-month Period of Severance. (c) “Compensation” means an Employee’s wages, salary, fees for professional service and other amounts received (without regard to whether or not an amount is paid in cash) for personal services actually rendered in the course of employment with the Participating Employer to the extent that the amounts are includable in gross income and reported on the Employee’s Form W-2 for purposes of federal income tax withholding for the determination period, adjusted as follows: (i) Including elective deferrals (as defined in Code Section 402(g)(3)) and any amount that is contributed or deferred by the Participating Employer at the election of the Employee and not includable in the gross income of the Employee by reason of Code Sections 125 or 132(f)(4); and (ii) Excluding (A) reimbursements or other expense allowances, (B) fringe benefits (cash and noncash), (C) moving expenses, (D) deferred compensation (unless otherwise specifically included) and (E) welfare benefits.
E-3 4841-1404-2944.2 Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan, Compensation earned after April 30, 2011 shall not be counted under this Part of the Plan for the purposes of benefit accruals. For purposes of this subsection, the “determination period” is a Plan Year, unless any other section of this Part of the Plan explicitly provides for the determination of Compensation over an applicable period other than the Plan Year. The annual Compensation of each Participant in any Plan Year shall not exceed the annual compensation limit of Code Section 401(a)(17), as adjusted for increases in the cost of living in accordance with Code Section 401(a)(17)(B). The cost-of-living adjustment in effect for a calendar year applies for the Plan Year that begins with or within such calendar year. If the Plan determines Compensation for a determination period that is less than 12 consecutive months, the annual compensation limit is multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of months in the short Plan Year, and the denominator of which is 12. The annual Compensation of each Participant taken into account in determining benefit accruals in any Plan Year beginning after December 31, 2001 shall not exceed $200,000, as adjusted as described above. In determining benefit accruals in Plan Years beginning after December 31, 2001, the Annual Compensation Limit for determination periods beginning before January 1, 2002, shall be as follows: $150,000 for any determination period beginning in 1996 or earlier; $160,000 for any determination period beginning in 1997, 1998 or 1999; and $170,000 for any determination period beginning in 2000 or 2001. Compensation paid within the later of 2½ months after severance from Employment (within the meaning of Section 1.415(a)-1(f)(5) of the Treasury regulations) or the end of the limitation year that includes the date of severance from Employment shall be included in Compensation if the payments, absent the severance from Employment, would have been paid to the employee while the Employee continued in Employment with the Participating Employer and are regular compensation for services during the Employee’s regular working hours, compensation for services outside the Employee’s regular working hours, or other similar circumstances. Payments not described above shall not be considered Compensation if paid after severance from Employment, even if paid within the time period referenced above. (d) “Covered Compensation” means the average (without indexing) of the taxable wage bases in effect for each calendar year during the 35-year period ending with the last day of the calendar year in which the Participant attains (or will attain) social security retirement age (as defined in Code Section 415(b)(8)). In determining a Participant’s Covered Compensation for a Plan Year, the taxable wage base for all calendar years beginning after the first day of the Plan Year shall be assumed to be the same as the taxable wage base in effect as of the beginning of the Plan Year for which the determination is being made. A Participant’s Covered Compensation is automatically adjusted for each Plan Year according to tables published by the Internal Revenue Service.
E-4 4841-1404-2944.2 (i) A Participant’s Covered Compensation for a Plan Year before the 35-year period described in this subsection (d) is the taxable wage base in effect as of the beginning of the Plan Year.

If a Participant has less than 60 months of Employment, the average shall be taken over his or her total period of Employment. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, Final Average Compensation shall not include any Compensation earned by or paid to any Participant after April 30, 2011. (j) “Hour of Service” means an hour counted for the purpose of determining an Employee’s eligibility to participate in this Part of the Plan pursuant to Article II of this Part and shall include: (i) Each hour for which an individual is paid, or entitled to payment, for the performance of service for the Participating Employer; (ii) Each hour for which an individual is paid, or entitled to payment by the Participating Employer without the performance of service (regardless of whether the employment relationship has terminated) due to vacation, holiday, layoff, illness, incapacity (including disability), jury duty, military duty, or leave of absence.

(m) “Period of Severance” means a continuous period of time during which the Employee is not employed by the Participating Employer. Such period begins on the date the Employee retires, quits or is discharged, or if earlier, the 12-month anniversary of the date on which the Employee was otherwise first absent from service. In the case of an individual who is absent from work for maternity or paternity reasons, the 12-consecutive month period beginning on the first anniversary of the first date of such absence shall not constitute a break in service. For purposes of this paragraph, an absence from work for maternity or paternity reasons means an absence (i) by reason of the pregnancy of the individual, (ii) by reason of the birth of a child of the individual, (iii) by reason of the placement of a child with the individual in connection with the adoption of such child by such individual, or (iv) for purposes of caring for such child for a period beginning immediately following such birth or placement.

(c) “Break in Service” means any Plan Year during which an Employee has 500 or less Hours of Service. Solely for the purposes of determining whether an Employee has incurred a Break in Service, the Employee shall be credited with Hours of Service with respect to any period of unpaid absence under the Family Medical Leave Act of 1993 (“FMLA”), or with respect to any period of a child-rearing absence which is due to: (i) the Employee’s pregnancy; (ii) the birth of a child of the Employee; (iii) the placement of a child with the Employee as a result of the Employee’s adoption of such child; or (iv) the caring of such child immediately following such birth or placement.

No Hours of Service credit shall be given for a child-related or FMLA absence under this Section unless sufficient information to establish the number of days needed for such absence and that such absence is for one or more of the reasons specified in the FMLA or in clauses (i)-(iv) above, as applicable, is provided by the Employee to the Administrator in such form and at such time as the Administrator may specify from time to time under uniform rules consistently applied in like circumstances for personnel who are similarly situated in respect to such Employee.

The disability annuity shall be a monthly amount computed in the same manner as Section 3.01(a) of this Part (including with application of the offset described in Section 3.01(c) of this Part).

The monthly benefit will be an amount equal to 50% of the monthly benefit to which the Employee would have otherwise been entitled pursuant to Section 3.01(a) of the Master Plan Document if the benefit were paid in form of a single life annuity commencing at the later of the date of death or the date the Employee would have been first eligible for a retirement or deferred vested benefit, provided that the benefit payments to the surviving Spouse shall be reduced by 1% for each full year exceeding 10 years by which the Employee’s Spouse is younger than the Employee. The surviving Spouse benefit shall commence on the latest of: (i) the month following the Employee’s or disability retiree’s date of death, (ii) the month following the date the Employee would have been first eligible for a retirement or a deferred vested benefit, or

(b) If the monthly benefit payable under Section 3.01 of this Part is in the form of a survivor annuity, then the amount of supplemental allowance calculated in this Section shall be added to the Employee’s benefit without regard to the actuarial reduction; however, such supplemental allowance shall not be payable to a surviving Spouse.

Upon cessation of the supplemental allowance, the Employee will be eligible only for the monthly benefit otherwise payable. Section 3.06. Additional Benefits. Any Employee who retires under Section 2.02, 2.03, 2.04, 2.05 or 2.06 of this Part shall be paid an additional monthly amount (hereinafter “Additional Benefit”) equal to that required at retirement (not to exceed $18.50 per month per individual or $37.00 per month for retired Employee and Spouse) to purchase Medicare coverage; provided that such Additional Benefit shall not be paid under this Part of the Plan if it is payable by the Prior Plan.

F-11 4841-1404-2944.2 ARTICLE IV. PAYMENT OF BENEFITS Section 4.01. Transfers and Reemployment. (a) Out of Employee Status: If either (x) an Employee is transferred to or (y) a terminated former Employee is reemployed in non-Employee status with a Participating Employer or an Affiliate, the benefits hereunder shall be determined as of the date such individual ceased active participation hereunder by (x) transferring to non-Employee employment or (y) terminating employment, and shall be payable in accordance with the terms of this Part of the Plan in effect on such date, but only upon subsequent termination of employment with all Participating Employer and its Affiliates. For purposes of this Section, the applicable benefit determined as of the date of (x) transfer or (y) initial termination shall be the individual’s accrued benefit. If the individual is eligible under another defined benefit plan or another Part of the Plan with a corollary provision to this Section and elects to have the equivalent to this Section apply in such other plan or Part, then the applicable benefit shall also include any retirement supplements to which the individual (x) would then have been entitled if he or she had retired on the date of transfer, or (y) was or, if he or she had then retired, would have been entitled on the date of initial termination, except for any location closedown benefits, early retirement window supplements, periodic retiree increases limited to retirement within specified time periods, or similar benefits which require termination of employment due to certain causes or within a certain time period which is not satisfied. (b) Into Employee Status: Either (x) an individual who transfers to Employee status from non-Employee employment with a Participating Employer or its Affiliates or (y) a terminated, former Employee of a Participating Employer and its Affiliates who is subsequently reemployed in Employee status shall receive from this Plan a benefit calculated as described in (i), (ii), if eligible, or (iii) below at the individual’s election: (i) This method provides a benefit as follows: (A) a benefit using the formula hereunder with Credited Service earned from and after the date the individual becomes an Employee; plus (B) the Normal Retirement Date benefit payable under the defined benefit plan or other Part of this Plan in which the individual participated prior to becoming an Employee (the “prior plan”) using the formula and service credits of the prior plan or prior Part as of (x) the transfer date and assuming termination of employment on that date, or (y) the date of initial termination; plus (C) in the event (1) the benefit payable from the prior plan or prior Part is a deferred vested benefit, and (2) the prior plan or prior Part has a different calculation formula for Deferred Vested Participants than for retirees, and (3) such individual retires from this Part of the Plan, the benefit
F-12 4841-1404-2944.2 under this Part of the Plan shall be increased by a supplement equal to the difference between the retirement and deferred vested calculations referenced in (1) and (2). The benefit amount calculated above is payable as a Normal Retirement Date benefit. Vesting provisions, any early commencement factors, and optional form of payment factors shall be determined pursuant to this Part of the Plan, together with eligibility for any retirement supplements. In order to elect this option (i), an individual must receive any benefits payable from the prior plan or prior Part in the same form, at the same time, and subject to the same actuarial adjustment factors as provided in this Part of the Plan, and there shall be a monthly offset under this Part of the Plan for the amount of any benefit payment from the prior plan or prior Part. In no event may an individual receive duplicate benefits from this Part of the Plan and the prior plan or prior Part. (ii) If either (x) an individual transfers to Employee status and remains an Employee for a minimum of 36 consecutive calendar months following the end of the month preceding such transfer or (y) a terminated, former Employee of a Participating Employer and its Affiliates is subsequently reemployed in Employee status and remains an Employee for a minimum of 36 consecutive calendar months following the end of the month preceding such reemployment, the individual may elect this option (ii). The 36-month service requirement shall be waived for any individual (x) transferring to or (y) reemployed in Employee status who had previously been an Employee hereunder or who, while an Employee, dies, becomes totally and permanently disabled, or is terminated as a result of job abolition. Under this option, the benefit payable under this Part of the Plan shall be the greater of the following: the amount determined under (i) above, or (A) the amount determined under the formula of this Part using all years of Credited Service before and after (x) the transfer date or (y) the date of reemployment, calculated using the Credited Service definition under this Part of the Plan, both for service as an Employee and for service prior to the (x) transfer date or (y) date of initial termination. The benefit amount calculated above is payable as a Normal Retirement Date benefit. Vesting provisions, any early commencement factors and optional form of payment factors shall be determined pursuant to this Part of the Plan, together with eligibility for any retirement supplements. In order to elect this option (ii), an individual must receive any benefits payable from the prior plan in the same form, at the same time, and subject to the same actuarial adjustment factors as provided in this Part of the Plan, and there shall be a monthly offset under this
F-13 4841-1404-2944.2 Part of the Plan for the amount of any benefit payment from the prior plan or prior Part. In no event may an individual receive duplicate benefits from this Part of the Plan and the prior plan or prior Part. (iii) This option is the benefit payable under the prior plan or prior Part with the following three rules: (1) using the actuarial factors and supplements of the prior plan or prior Part to which (x) the individual would have been entitled if termination of employment occurred at the transfer date, or (y) the individual was or would have been entitled at the date of initial termination; (2) with vesting calculated using the terms of the prior plan or prior Part as of (x) the transfer date, or (y) the date of initial termination, but (3) disregarding any location closedown benefits, early retirement window supplements, periodic retiree increases limited to retirement within specified time periods, or similar benefits which require termination of employment due to certain causes or within a certain time period which is not satisfied. If assets and liabilities are transferred to this Plan from the prior plan, this subsection benefit shall be paid from this Plan; otherwise, it shall be paid from the prior plan. (c) For purposes of this Section, previous employment with an Affiliate includes only employment with such entity while it is an Affiliate and not employment prior to the date such entity became an Affiliate, if applicable.

Smith Corporation and Regal Beloit Corporation. (b) “Actuarial Equivalent” or “Actuarially Calculated” shall be determined for all purposes (except as required by Code Section 417(e)) using the RP-2000CH mortality table (weighted 50% male and 50% female) and an 8% interest rate; provided that, in no event shall a Participant’s actuarial equivalent optional form of benefit hereunder be less valuable than the value of such Participant’s accrued benefit under Section 3.01 of the Prior Plan as of December 1, 2011 calculated based on the 1971 Group Annuity Mortality Table using a 95% male and 5% female weighting, with interest at 8%. (c) “Break in Service” means any Plan Year during which an Employee has 500 or less Hours of Service.

Such Hours of Service shall be credited on the basis of the Hours of Service with which the Employee would have been credited but for such absence or, where those hours cannot be determined by the Administrator, eight hours per normal workday of the absence. No more than 501 such hours shall be credited with respect to any single continuous period of a child- related or FMLA absence due to one or more of the reasons specified above, even though some or all of those hours may also be recognized as Hours of Service under Section 1.01(h). The Hours credited under this subsection shall apply to the Plan Year immediately following the Plan Year in which the child-related or FMLA absence commences unless such credit is needed to
G-3 4841-1404-2944.2 avoid a Break in Service in the former Plan Year. Regardless of the Plan Year to which such credit is applied, only that portion of such credit which is credited under Section 1.01(h), shall be recognized in determining the number of years of Vesting Service. No Hours of Service credit shall be given for a child-related or FMLA absence under this Section unless sufficient information to establish the number of days needed for such absence and that such absence is for one or more of the reasons specified in the FMLA or in clauses (i)-(iv) above, as applicable, is provided by the Employee to the Administrator in such form and at such time as the Administrator may specify from time to time under uniform rules consistently applied in like circumstances for personnel who are similarly situated in respect to such Employee. (d) “Credited Service” means employment for which credit is given for purposes of determining the amount of benefits, as follows: (i) With respect to an Employee who is considered a Transferred Employee (as defined in the Acquisition Agreement), such employee will be credited with Credited Service equal to the Credited Service (in whole and fractional years) credited to such individual under the terms of the Prior Plan as of the date such individual becomes a Transferred Employee. (ii) On and after the Effective Date, Employees shall receive credit for one year of Credited Service for each Plan Year during which the Employee receives pay from the Participating Employer for 1,700 or more hours; or a proportionate credit to the nearest complete 1/10th year for each year during which the Employee receives pay from the Participating Employer for less than 1,700 hours.

(iii) Employees shall receive credit for all service credited under any other retirement plan or plans to which the Participating Employer contributes; provided, however, that there shall be no duplication of benefits for the same period of Credited Service under the various plans to which the Participating Employer contributes. (iv) A non-vested Employee shall lose his or her Credited Service if his or her employment is terminated and he or she incurs five consecutive Breaks in Service. (v) Any Employee who is reemployed prior to five consecutive Breaks in Service shall have his or her original Credited Service

The number of Hours of Service credited to an individual as a result of payment for other than duties performed shall be the same number of Hours of Service the individual would have received if services had been performed for the Participating Employer and any Affiliate Participating Employer and its Affiliates during that computation period, based upon the individual’s customary Hours of Service immediately prior to the absence. Hours of Service shall be deemed accumulated for all purposes herein during the period for which they accrued irrespective of when payment is made, and shall be calculated and credited pursuant to Section 2530.200b-2 of the Department of Labor regulations which are hereby incorporated by reference.

(m) “Total and Permanent Disability” means total disability caused by bodily injury or disease, physical or mental, or both, sufficient to prevent the Employee from engaging in any regular occupation or employment for remuneration or profit, which disability will be permanent and continuous during the remainder of the Employee’s life; provided, however, that no Employee shall be deemed to be totally and permanently disabled for the purposes of this Part of the Plan if the incapacity consists of chronic alcoholism or addiction to narcotics, or if such incapacity was: (i) contracted, suffered or incurred while engaged in a felonious enterprise or resulted therefrom; (ii) resulted from an intentionally self-inflicted injury; or (iii) resulted from service in the armed forces of any country. The existence of Total and Permanent Disability shall be determined by the Administrator on the basis of medical evidence. (n) “Vesting Service” means employment for which credit is given for purposes of determining eligibility for benefits, as follows: (i) With respect to an Employee who is considered a Transferred Employee (as defined in the Acquisition Agreement) such employee will be credited with Vesting Service equal to the Vesting Service (in whole and fractional years) credited to such individual under the terms of the Prior Plan as of the date such individual becomes a Transferred Employee.

G-11 4841-1404-2944.2 ARTICLE IV. PAYMENT OF BENEFITS Section 4.01. Transfers and Reemployment. (a) Out of Employee Status: If either (x) an Employee is transferred to or (y) a terminated former Employee is reemployed in non-Employee status with a Participating Employer or an Affiliate, the benefits hereunder shall be determined as of the date such individual ceased active participation hereunder by (x) transferring to non-Employee employment or (y) terminating employment and shall be payable in accordance with the terms of this Part of the Plan in effect on such date, but only upon subsequent termination of employment with all Participating Employers and its Affiliates. For purposes of this Section, the applicable benefit determined as of the date of (x) transfer or (y) initial termination shall be the individual’s accrued benefit. If the individual is eligible under another defined benefit plan or another Part of the Plan with a corollary provision to this Section and elects to have the equivalent to this Section apply in such other plan or Part, then the applicable benefit shall also include any retirement supplements to which the individual (x) would then have been entitled if he or she had retired on the date of transfer, or (y) was or, if he or she had then retired, would have been entitled on the date of initial termination, except for any location closedown benefits, early retirement window supplements, periodic retiree increases limited to retirement within specified time periods, or similar benefits which require termination of employment due to certain causes or within a certain time period which is not satisfied. (b) Into Employee Status: Either (x) an individual who transfers to Employee status from non-Employee employment with a Participating Employer or its Affiliates or (y) a terminated, former Employee of a Participating Employer and its Affiliates who is subsequently reemployed in Employee status shall receive from this Plan a benefit calculated as described in (i), (ii), if eligible, or (iii) below at the individual’s election: (i) This method provides a benefit as follows: (A) a benefit using the formula hereunder with Credited Service earned from and after the date the individual becomes an Employee; plus (B) the Normal Retirement Date benefit payable under the defined benefit plan or other Part of this Plan in which the individual participated prior to becoming an Employee (the “prior plan”) using the formula and service credits of the prior plan or prior Part as of (x) the transfer date and assuming termination of employment on that date, or (y) the date of initial termination; plus (C) in the event (1) the benefit payable from the prior plan or prior Part is a deferred vested benefit, and (2) the prior plan or prior Part has a different calculation formula for Deferred Vested Participants than for retirees, and (3) such individual retires from this Part of the Plan, the benefit
G-12 4841-1404-2944.2 under this Part of the Plan shall be increased by a supplement equal to the difference between the retirement and deferred vested calculations referenced in (1) and (2). The benefit amount calculated above is payable as a Normal Retirement Date benefit. Vesting provisions, any early commencement factors, and optional form of payment factors shall be determined pursuant to this Part of the Plan, together with eligibility for any retirement supplements. In order to elect this option (i), an individual must receive any benefits payable from the prior plan or prior Part in the same form, at the same time, and subject to the same actuarial adjustment factors as provided in this Part of the Plan, and there shall be a monthly offset under this Part of the Plan for the amount of any benefit payment from the prior plan or prior Part. In no event may an individual receive duplicate benefits from this Part of the Plan and the prior plan or prior Part. (ii) If either (x) an individual transfers to Employee status and remains an Employee for a minimum of 36 consecutive calendar months following the end of the month preceding such transfer or (y) a terminated, former Employee of a Participating Employer and its Affiliates is subsequently reemployed in Employee status and remains an Employee for a minimum of 36 consecutive calendar months following the end of the month preceding such reemployment, the individual may elect this option (ii). The 36-month service requirement shall be waived for any individual (x) transferring to or (y) reemployed in Employee status who had previously been an Employee hereunder or who, while an Employee, dies, becomes totally and permanently disabled, or is terminated as a result of job abolition. Under this option, the benefit payable under this Part of the Plan shall be the greater of the following: the amount determined under (i) above, or (A) the amount determined under the formula of this Part using all years of Credited Service before and after (x) the transfer date or (y) the date of reemployment, calculated using the Credited Service definition under this Part of the Plan, both for service as an Employee and for service prior to the (x) transfer date or (y) date of initial termination. The benefit amount calculated above is payable as a Normal Retirement Date benefit. Vesting provisions, any early commencement factors and optional form of payment factors shall be determined pursuant to this Part of the Plan, together with eligibility for any retirement supplements. In order to elect this option (ii), an individual must receive any benefits payable from the prior plan in the same form, at the same time, and subject to the same actuarial adjustment factors as provided in this Part of the Plan, and there shall be a monthly offset under this Part of the Plan for the amount of any benefit payment from the prior plan or prior Part. In
G-13 4841-1404-2944.2 no event may an individual receive duplicate benefits from this Part of the Plan and the prior plan or prior Part. (iii) This option is the benefit payable under the prior plan or prior Part with the following three rules: (1) using the actuarial factors and supplements of the prior plan or prior Part to which (x) the individual would have been entitled if termination of employment occurred at the transfer date, or (y) the individual was or would have been entitled at the date of initial termination; (2) with vesting calculated using the terms of the prior plan or prior Part as of (x) the transfer date, or (y) the date of initial termination, but (3) disregarding any location closedown benefits, early retirement window supplements, periodic retiree increases limited to retirement within specified time periods, or similar benefits which require termination of employment due to certain causes or within a certain time period which is not satisfied. If assets and liabilities are transferred to this Plan from the prior plan, this subsection benefit shall be paid from this Plan; otherwise, it shall be paid from the prior plan. (c) For purposes of this Section, previous employment with an Affiliate includes only employment with such entity while it is an Affiliate and not employment prior to the date such entity became an Affiliate, if applicable.

(b) Suspension. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Participant remains employed by the Employer beyond his or her Normal Retirement Date, then his Normal Retirement Benefit shall be suspended until his or her Postponed Retirement Date or, if earlier, his or her Required Beginning Date. The Employer shall notify the Participant of such suspension pursuant to the requirements of Department of Labor Regulations Section 2530.203-3 during the first calendar month in which the Participant attains his or her Normal Retirement Date. If, however, the Employer fails to provide such notice, then the benefits payable under the Plan shall be increased by an actuarially equivalent value in accordance with the requirements of the Code and ERISA Section 203(a); provided, that the amount of such increase shall be reduced (but not below zero) on an actuarially equivalent basis to reflect the amount the Participant accrues since his or her Normal Retirement Date (but not beyond his Required Beginning Date). In no event, however, shall a Participant’s benefits be suspended hereunder if he or she earns fewer than 40 Hours of Service during a calendar month after such Participant’s Normal Retirement Date.

Such Participant may elect, after he or she is determined to be disabled, to begin receiving the benefits provided in Section 5.01 as of an Annuity Starting Date. Such benefit shall be based on his or her years of Credited Service, and the dollar benefit rate applicable to such Participant, as of his or her date of disability (or as of December 31, 2016, if earlier). The Participant’s disability benefit shall be reduced by any benefits payable to the Participant under Worker’s Compensation or Occupational Disease laws for which the Employer is liable (except fixed statutory payments for the loss of any bodily member). Any lump sum payment on account of Worker’s Compensation or Occupational Disease laws which is deductible in accordance with this Section shall be divided by the number of weeks for which the award is based and the monthly amount shall be charged against the monthly disability benefit otherwise payable under the Plan from the date of such lump sum payment until such lump sum, as so charged, is exhausted. If prior to the Participant’s Normal Retirement Date the Administrator determines that the Participant is no longer disabled, or if the Participant refuses to submit to a medical examination at any reasonable time prior to his or her Normal Retirement Date (no more frequently than semi-annually) for the purpose of verifying the continuance of his or her disability, payment of his or her disability benefit shall cease. If the Participant’s disability benefit is not discontinued prior to his or her Normal Retirement Date, the Participant shall continue to be entitled to the same monthly benefit after his or her Normal Retirement Date.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a permanent and total disability which is either incurred while serving in the armed forces, intentionally self-inflicted, or the result of malicious criminal conduct, addiction to narcotics or habitual drunkenness shall not give rise to a disability benefit under this Section. The Administrator shall have the right to verify the continued existence of a Participant’s permanent and total disability at reasonable times prior to his or her Normal Retirement Date. A Participant who refuses to submit to a medical examination shall be presumed to have recovered from his or her permanent and total disability.

If the Participant was covered under the Plan on the last day of the 1988 Plan Year, his or her retirement benefit on his or her Early Retirement Date shall not be less than his or her Accrued Benefit on such date multiplied by the applicable early retirement factor as if the Plan as in effect on that date had continued unchanged. An active Participant’s retirement benefit on his or her Early Retirement Date shall be equal to his or her Accrued Benefit on such date, with no reduction, if he or she has completed 30 years of Vesting Service.

Factors for years beyond ten (10) shall be determined using a consistently applied reasonable actuarially equivalent method. (iii) This (iii) applies only to a Participant whose Late Retirement Date occurs after the April 1 following the calendar year in which he or she attains age 70½. Such Participant’s retirement benefit will be adjusted to take into account the period after such date in which the Participant was not receiving his or her retirement benefit. The amount in this (iii) shall be equal to the retirement benefit that would have been paid on such date (determined as if his or her Late Retirement Date had occurred on such date) multiplied by the factor in (ii) above for one (1) year past Normal Retirement Date, prorated for a partial year based on the number of months in the period (counting a partial month as a complete month). If the Participant’s Late Retirement Date occurs after the first day of the Plan Year following such date, the amount in this (iii) shall
I-11 4841-1404-2944.2 be equal to the retirement benefit that would have been paid on the first day of the Plan Year, multiplied by the factor in (ii) above for one (1) year past Normal Retirement Date, prorated for a partial year based on the number of months since the first day of the Plan Year (counting a partial month as a complete month).

(e) Special Lump Sum Payment. If a Participant retires under normal, early, special early or late retirement, he or she is eligible to receive a lump sum special payment to cover his or her first three (3) months of retirement. This special payment is equal to thirteen (13) weeks of vacation pay for the vacation year in which he or she retires, less any vacation pay he or she actually receives for that vacation year, multiplied by his or her weekly rate of vacation pay for that vacation year. This special payment will be paid to the Participant in a lump sum within the first full month following his or her retirement. A Participant is entitled to only one special payment. If he or she returns to work after retiring, he or she will not receive a second special payment when he or she retires again. (f) Benefit Not Less than Early Retirement Amount. A Participant’s retirement benefit under the Normal Form shall not be less than the greatest amount of benefit that would have been provided for him or her had he or she retired on any earlier retirement date.

I-12 4841-1404-2944.2 entire vested Accrued Benefit, and he or she again becomes an Eligible Employee before the end of the first period of five (5) consecutive one-year Periods of Severance that begin after the date of the deemed distribution, upon the date he or she again performs an Hour of Service as an Eligible Employee, the Employer-derived Accrued Benefit (including all optional forms of benefits and subsidies relating to such benefits) shall be restored to the amount of such Accrued Benefit on the date of the deemed distribution.
I-13 4841-1404-2944.2 ARTICLE IV. OTHER BENEFITS Section 4.01. Death Benefits. (a) A Qualified Preretirement Survivor Annuity shall be payable only if the Participant is survived by a Spouse.

The Spouse may elect to start benefits on any later first day of the month. If the Spouse chooses to start benefits later, the Qualified Preretirement Survivor Annuity shall be the Actuarial Equivalent of the Qualified Preretirement Survivor Annuity that would have been payable on the date the Qualified Preretirement Survivor Annuity would otherwise have been payable. Benefits must start by the date the Participant would have been age 70 1/2. If the Spouse dies before the Qualified Preretirement Survivor Annuity starts, no death benefits are payable hereunder. Subject to applicable Code rules, a surviving Spouse who is entitled to a Qualified Preretirement Survivor Annuity may elect to receive such benefit in any annuity that is an optional form of retirement benefit. (b) If a vested Participant dies while an Employee and after meeting the Early Retirement Age and Service Requirements, and if a Qualified Preretirement Survivor Annuity is not payable upon the Participant’s death, then his or her Beneficiary will receive sixty (60) monthly payments. The amount of each payment is equal to the monthly amount the Participant would have received had he or she retired on the day before his or her death under the Normal Form. (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant elects within ninety (90) days before the Participant’s Annuity Starting Date a survivorship annuity providing a greater than fifty percent (50%) death benefit and the Contingent Annuitant is the Participant’s Spouse, then such greater percentage shall be paid in lieu of the fifty percent (50%) benefit described in subsection (c) above. Such election must be a qualified election according to the provisions of Sections 3.02 and 3.03 of the Master Plan Document. Section 4.02. Disability Benefits. If an active Participant became Totally and Permanently Disabled before his or her Normal Retirement Date, a disability benefit shall be payable to him or her if the disability occurs on or after he or she has completed ten (10) years of Vesting Service. The disability benefit payable to a Participant who met the requirements above is an immediate monthly benefit equal to his or her Accrued Benefit on the day before his or her monthly disability benefit begins, but not less than $100. Monthly disability benefit payments shall begin on the earliest first day of the month on or after the date the Participant meets the requirements under this Section. Such payments shall continue through the last monthly payment made before the earliest of his or her
I-14 4841-1404-2944.2 Annuity Starting Date (or Normal Retirement Date, if earlier), the date of his or her death, or the day following the date he or she is no longer Totally and Permanently Disabled.

The Participant’s Accrued Benefit shall be equal to his or her Accrued Benefit as of the day before the disability benefit began. However, such Accrued Benefit shall not be less than the amount of monthly disability payment paid to him or her under this Section. If, before the Participant’s Annuity Starting Date (or Normal Retirement Date, if earlier), he or she recovers and returns to active work for the Employer within one month of his or her recovery, then the payments shall stop. If, before the Participant’s Annuity Starting Date (or Normal Retirement Date, if earlier), he or she recovers and does not return to active work for the Employer within one (1) month of his or her recovery, then the payments shall stop and his or her benefits shall become payable under the Deferred Vested Benefits provisions of the Plan. Section 4.03. Vested Benefits. (a) If a vested Participant dies before his or her Annuity Starting Date, the only death benefits payable shall be the Qualified Preretirement Survivor Annuity, or, if applicable, the death benefit described in subsection (e). (b) If a Qualified Preretirement Survivor Annuity becomes payable pursuant to subsection (a), the Participant’s surviving Spouse shall be paid, commencing on the first day of the month following the later of the Participant’s death or the date the Participant would have attained his or her Early Retirement Age, a survivor annuity for the life of the surviving Spouse; provided, however, that distribution to the surviving Spouse shall not be made prior to the date the Participant would have attained his or her Normal Retirement Age without the consent of the surviving Spouse. Benefits must start by the date the Participant would have been age 70½. If the Spouse dies before the Qualified Preretirement Survivor Annuity starts, no death benefits are payable hereunder. (c) If the Participant is employed by the Employer at the time of his or her death, then the amount payable to the Participant’s surviving Spouse in the form of a Qualified Preretirement Survivor Annuity shall be fifty percent (50%) of the amount calculated under Section 3.01 of this Part based on the Pension Credited Service accrued as of the date of his or her death, reduced by the early retirement reduction factors if the death benefit begins before the Participant’s Normal Retirement Date. If the Participant is not employed at the time of his or her death, the amount payable to the Participant’s surviving Spouse in the form of Qualified Preretirement Survivor Annuity shall be fifty percent (50%) of the amount calculated under Section 3.01 of this Part based on the Pension Credited Service accrued as of the date of his or her death, with the following adjustments: (i) The benefit shall be reduced by the actuarial factors used to convert the benefit under Section 3.02 to a Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity; and
I-15 4841-1404-2944.2 (ii) The early retirement reduction factors shall be applied if the death benefit begins before the Participant’s Normal Retirement Date. (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant elects within ninety (90) days before the Participant’s Annuity Starting Date a survivorship annuity providing a greater than fifty percent (50%) death benefit and the Contingent Annuitant is the Participant’s Spouse, then such greater percentage shall be paid in lieu of the fifty percent 50% benefit described in subsection (c) above. Such election must be a qualified election according to the provisions of Sections 3.02 and 3.03 of the Master Plan Document. (e) If a vested Participant dies while an Employee and after meeting the Early Retirement Age and Service Requirements, and if a Qualified Preretirement Survivor Annuity is not payable upon the Participant’s death, then his or her Beneficiary will receive sixty (60) monthly payments. The amount of each payment is equal to the monthly amount the Participant would have received had he or she retired on the day before his or her death under the Normal Form.

(ii) When determining Pension Credited Service for vesting purposes, the following special rules shall apply: (A) A full year of Pension Credited Service shall be granted for the twelve (12) month period commencing on the Participant’s employment anniversary date next preceding his or her termination of employment date if the Participant completes 1,000 Hours of Service during the portion of such period before his or her termination of employment date; otherwise, the Participant shall be granted a fractional year of Pension Credited Service for the period between such employment anniversary date and his or her termination of employment date calculated in completed months, and any portion of a month in excess of a whole number of months during that period shall be counted as a completed month. However, if such a Participant is rehired before twelve (12) months have elapsed since his or her termination of employment date and thereby receives Pension Credited Service for vesting purposes for his or her Severance Period between his or her date of termination of employment and his or her date of rehire, the preceding sentence shall not apply. (B) Pension Credited Service completed prior to the date the Participant attains age 18 shall be disregarded. A Participant who becomes permanently and totally disabled while employed by the Employer after completing ten (10) years of Pension Credited Service and is receiving disability benefits pursuant to the Social Security Laws shall be treated as continuing employment of the Employer; provided, however, that if prior to such Participant’s Annuity Starting Date, the Administrator determines that the Participant is no longer disabled or the Participant refuses to submit to medical examinations at any reasonable time (but not more frequently than semi-annually) to verify the continuation of his or her disability, or such Participant declines to resume active employment with the Employer within ninety (90) days after said determination by the Administrator, then the Participant’s employment with the Employer shall be deemed to have terminated on the first anniversary of the date the Participant became disabled (or on the date of said determination by the Administrator, if earlier) for purposes of determining his or her entitlement to benefits under any other provisions of the Plan.
L-6 4841-1404-2944.2 (s) “Period of Service” means a period of time beginning on an Employee’s Employment Commencement Date or Reemployment Commencement Date (whichever applies) and ending on his most recent Severance Date. For purposes of calculating an Employee’s Period of Service, the following rules shall apply: (i) A Period of Service shall be expressed as years and fractional parts of a year (to two decimal places) on the basis that 365 days equal one year. (ii) A Period of Severance shall be deemed to be a Period of Service under either of the following conditions: (A) the Period of Severance immediately follows a period during which an Employee is not absent from work and ends within twelve (12) months; or (B) the Period of Severance immediately follows a period during which an Employee is absent from work for any reason other than quitting, being discharged, or retiring (such as a leave of absence or layoff) and ends within twelve (12) months of the date he or she was first absent. (iii) A Period of Service shall be reduced by (A) all or any part of a Period of Service that is not counted pursuant to the rules set forth in this Plan and/or (B) any Period of Severance that occurred prior to his most recent Severance Date, unless such Period of Severance is included under the service spanning rules described in (ii) above. (t) “Period of Severance” means a period of time beginning on an Employee’s Severance Date and ending on the date he or she again performs an Hour of Service. A one-year Period of Severance means a Period of Severance of twelve (12) consecutive months. Solely for purposes of determining whether a one-year Period of Severance has occurred for eligibility or vesting purposes, the consecutive twelve (12) month period beginning on the first anniversary of the first date of a Parental Absence shall not be a one-year Period of Severance. (u) “Qualified Preretirement Survivor Annuity” means a straight life annuity payable to the surviving Spouse of a Participant who dies before his Annuity Starting Date with a vested benefit hereunder calculated as provided in Section 4.01. A former Spouse will be treated as the surviving Spouse to the extent provided under a qualified domestic relations order as described in Code Section 414(p). (v) “Reemployment Commencement Date” means the date an Employee first performs an Hour of Service following a Period of Severance. (w) “Retirement Date” means the date a retirement benefit will begin and is a Participant’s Early, Special Early, Normal, or Late Retirement Date, as the case may be. (x) “Severance Date” means the earlier of:
L-7 4841-1404-2944.2 (i) the date on which an Employee quits, retires, dies, or is discharged, or (ii) the first anniversary of the first date an Employee remains absent from service (with or without pay). This absence may be the result of any combination of reasons, including vacation, holiday, sickness, disability, leave of absence, or layoff, but excluding quit, retirement, discharge or death. Solely to determine whether a one-year Period of Severance has occurred for eligibility or vesting purposes for an Employee who is absent from service beyond the first anniversary of the first day of a Parental Absence, the Severance Date is the second anniversary of the first day of the Parental Absence. The period between the first and second anniversaries of the first day of the Parental Absence is not a Period of Service and is not a Period of Severance. (y) “Severance from Employment” means the date an Employee has ceased to be an Employee. (z) “Spouse” means either (1) the person to whom a Participant is lawfully married on his or her Annuity Starting Date or (2) in the event the Participant dies prior to his or her Annuity Starting Date, the person to whom the Participant was married throughout the ninety (90) day period preceding the Participant’s death. For purposes hereof, “lawfully married” means legally married (A) under the laws of the United States (or one of the United States) or any other generally recognized jurisdiction and (B) for federal tax purposes. (aa) “Vesting Service” -- see Pension Credited Service.

L-9 4841-1404-2944.2 Severance equals or exceeds the greater of six (6) years or one year plus his or her Period of Service, whether or not consecutive, completed before such Period of Severance, then any Period of Service accrued prior to such break in service shall be disregarded. (b) Service with Foreign Corporation. A Participant who leaves the employment of the Employer and its Affiliates to accept employment with a corporation which is directly or indirectly owned fifty percent (50%) or more by the Company or a Subsidiary but which is organized outside of the United States, or to accept employment (at the written request of the Employer) with any other corporation organized outside of the United States, shall, if he or she thereafter returns to employment in the United States with the Employer or its Affiliates for at least twelve (12) months, earn benefits as if he or she had continued in the employment of the Employer and its Affiliates for the period of such foreign employment; provided, however, that any benefits credited for such period shall be reduced (but not below zero) by the amount of any foreign pension or severance payment earned during such period. (c) Disability Accrual. Except as may be provided otherwise in this Part, a Participant who becomes disabled while employed by the Employer or its Affiliates and is receiving disability benefits pursuant to the Social Security Laws shall for the purposes of this Plan be considered as having continued in the employment of the Employer, so long as he or she continues to receive such benefits, until the earliest of (i) the date he or she is no longer permanently and totally disabled, (ii) the date he or she has attained his or her Normal Retirement Date, (iii) his or her Annuity Starting Date, or (iv) the date he or she dies.

Such approved leaves of absence shall be given on a uniform non-discriminatory basis.
L-10 4841-1404-2944.2 ARTICLE III. RETIREMENT BENEFITS Section 3.01. Retirement Benefits. (a) Normal Retirement Benefit. A Participant who retires at his or her Normal Retirement Date may commence receiving his or her vested Normal Retirement Benefit. The monthly Normal Retirement Benefit shall be equal to the sum of (i) plus (ii) plus (iii), minus the amount described in (iv) below: (i) 1.0% of Average Compensation up to one-twelfth of the Average Social Security Wage Base multiplied by Pension Credited Service not to exceed 35 years; plus (ii) 1.4% of Average Compensation in excess of one-twelfth of the Average Social Security Wage Base multiplied by Pension Credited Service not to exceed 35 years; plus (iii) 1.0% of Average Compensation multiplied by Pension Credited Service in excess 35 years; minus (iv) The monthly Normal Retirement Benefit amount payable to the Participant under the Emerson Plan, in the Normal Form (e.g., the Emerson Plan accrued benefit).

This amount, after reduction by the amount described in (iv) above, shall be referred to in subsection (b) as the Participant’s Grandfathered Normal Retirement Benefit. (b) Early Retirement Reduction Factor(s). A Participant who retires at his or her Early Retirement Date shall receive a monthly Early Retirement Benefit equal to his or her monthly Normal Retirement Benefit, reduced for each month by which the Annuity Starting Date of the Participant precedes his or her Normal Retirement Date at the rate of 1/4% for each such month between the first day of the month on or after the 55th and 60th birthdays of the Participant, and at the rate of 1/6% for each such month between the first day of the month on or after 60th birthday of the Participant and his or her Normal Retirement Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Participant has completed 30 or more years of Pension Credited Service and attained age 60 on his or her Early Retirement Date, his or her Early Retirement Benefit shall not be less than the Participant’s Grandfathered Normal Retirement Benefit reduced by 1/3% for those months by which the Annuity Starting Date of the Participant precedes his or her attainment of age 60. If a Participant has completed 10 or more years of Pension Credited Service but not 30 years of Pension Credited Service, his or her Early Retirement Benefit shall not be less than the Participant’s Grandfathered Normal Retirement Benefit reduced for those months by which the Annuity Starting Date of the Participant precedes his or her Normal Retirement Date at the rate 1/3% for each such month between the first day of the month on or after the 55th and 60th birthdays of the Participant, and at the rate of 1/2% for those months
L-11 4841-1404-2944.2 between the first day of the month on or after the 60th birthday of the Participant and his or her Retirement Date. (c) Late Retirement Benefit. A Participant who retires at his or her Late Retirement Date shall receive a monthly Late Retirement Benefit equal to the benefit he or she would have received at his or her Normal Retirement Date but based upon his or her Benefit Factors up to his or her actual retirement. If an Employee continues working for an Employer or any Affiliate after his or her Normal Retirement Date, then the Employer shall notify the Employee during the first calendar month of the payroll period in which the Participant attains Normal Retirement Age that his benefits will not commence until the earlier of his or her actual retirement or, if applicable, his or her Required Beginning Date. Such notification shall contain a description of the specific reasons why benefit payments are being suspended, a general description of the Plan provisions relating to the suspension of payments, a copy of such Plan provisions, information regarding the Plan’s procedure for affording a review of the suspension of benefits, and a statement to the effect that applicable Department of Labor regulations may be found in section 2530.203-3 of Title 29 of the Code of Federal Regulations. Section 3.02. Disregard of Accrued Benefit. If a Participant receives a single sum payment equal to the Actuarial Equivalent present value of his or her entire vested Accrued Benefit, then his or her entire Accrued Benefit as of the date of the distribution shall be disregarded. If the Actuarial Equivalent present value of a Participant’s vested Accrued Benefit was zero and he or she was deemed to have received a distribution of such present value of his entire vested Accrued Benefit, and he or she again becomes an Eligible Employee before the end of the first period of five (5) consecutive one-year Periods of Severance that begin after the date of the deemed distribution, upon the date he or she again performs an Hour of Service as an Eligible Employee, the Employer-derived Accrued Benefit (including all optional forms of benefits and subsidies relating to such benefits) shall be restored to the amount of such Accrued Benefit on the date of the deemed distribution.
L-12 4841-1404-2944.2 ARTICLE IV. OTHER BENEFITS Section 4.01. Death Benefits. (a) If a vested Participant dies before his or her Annuity Starting Date, the only death benefits payable shall be the Qualified Preretirement Survivor Annuity. (b) If a Qualified Preretirement Survivor Annuity becomes payable pursuant to subsection (a), the Participant’s surviving Spouse shall be paid, commencing on the first day of the month following the later of the Participant’s death or the date the Participant would have attained his or her Early Retirement Age, a survivor annuity for the life of the surviving Spouse; provided, however, that distribution to the surviving Spouse shall not be made prior to the date the Participant would have attained his or her Normal Retirement Age without the consent of the surviving Spouse. Benefits must start by the date the Participant would have been age 70½. If the Spouse dies before the Qualified Preretirement Survivor Annuity starts, no death benefits are payable hereunder. (c) If the Participant is employed by the Employer at the time of his or her death, then the amount payable to the Participant’s surviving Spouse in the form of a Qualified Preretirement Survivor Annuity shall be fifty percent (50%) of the amount calculated under Section 3.01 of this Part based on the Pension Credited Service accrued as of the date of his or her death, reduced by the early retirement reduction factors if the death benefit begins before the Participant’s Normal Retirement Date. If the Participant is not employed at the time of his or her death, the amount payable to the Participant’s surviving Spouse in the form of a Qualified Preretirement Survivor Annuity shall be fifty percent (50%) of the amount calculated under Section 3.01 of this Part based on the Pension Credited Service accrued as of the date of his or her death, with the following adjustments: (i) The benefit shall be reduced by the actuarial factors used to convert the benefit under Section 3.02 to a Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity; and (ii) The early retirement reduction factors shall be applied if the death benefit begins before the Participant’s Normal Retirement Date. (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant elects within ninety (90) days before the Participant’s Annuity Starting Date a survivorship annuity providing a greater than fifty percent (50%) death benefit and the Contingent Annuitant is the Participant’s Spouse, then such greater percentage shall be paid in lieu of the fifty percent (50%) benefit described in subsection (c) above. Such election must be a qualified election according to the provisions of Sections 3.02 and 3.03 of the Master Plan Document.
L-13 4841-1404-2944.2 Section 4.02.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Participant who dies while employed with the Employer or who remains in employment with the Employer until the date he or she satisfies the requirements for Normal Retirement Age shall have a one-hundred percent (100%) nonforfeitable right to his or her Accrued Benefit. (d) A Participant who becomes an inactive Participant before retirement or death (and, if applicable, before the date a disability payment begins under Section 4.02) will be entitled to one of the following, whichever is applicable: (i) Payment of his Accrued Benefit to begin on his or her Normal Retirement Date. (ii) If the Participant has satisfied the Early Retirement Age and Service Requirements, a deferred monthly retirement benefit under the Normal Form to begin on his or her Early Retirement Date. The deferred retirement benefit shall be equal to the amount under (i) above multiplied by the applicable early retirement factor set forth in Section 3.01(b). (iii) A deferred monthly retirement benefit under the Normal Form to begin on his or her Late Retirement Date. The deferred retirement benefit shall be determined as follows: (A) For a Participant who became an inactive Participant on or before his or her Normal Retirement Date, an amount equal to the amount under (i) above multiplied by the late retirement factor in Article III that corresponds to the number of years his or her Late Retirement Date follows his Normal Retirement Date. (B) For a Participant who became an inactive Participant after his or her Normal Retirement Date, an amount equal to the greater of (1) or (2) below: (1) The Participant’s Accrued Benefit on the day before the date he or she became an inactive Participant. (2) His or her Accrued Benefit on his or her Normal Retirement Date actuarially adjusted to reflect the
L-14 4841-1404-2944.2 delay in commencement of benefits after his or her Normal Retirement Date. Provided, however, for an inactive Participant whose Late Retirement Date occurs after the April 1 following the calendar year in which he or she attains age 70½, such Participant’s deferred monthly retirement benefit determined in (1) or (2) above, whichever applies, shall be actuarially adjusted to reflect the delay in commencement of benefits after such April 1 date. Any distribution of vested benefits shall be a retirement benefit and shall be subject to the distribution of benefits provisions of Article V and the provisions of Section 3.06 of the Master Plan Document. The Participant’s Accrued Benefit shall be calculated on the day before he or she became an inactive Participant. The amount of payment under any form (other than the Normal Form) shall be determined as provided under Section 3.02 of the Master Plan Document. If the Participant dies before his or her Annuity Starting Date, death benefits shall be distributed according to the provisions of Section 4.01.

Suspension of Benefits Upon Reemployment. In the event a Participant who is receiving benefits under the Plan returns to the full-time employment of the Employer (as defined in the Employer’s employment practices) prior to his or her Required Beginning Date, payment of his or her benefits will continue. Upon his or her subsequent termination of employment with the Employer, the Participant shall continue to receive the benefit he or she was receiving during the period of reemployment; provided that, if the Participant’s most recent termination of employment occurred prior to January 1, 2018, then, to the extent the law so requires, in no event shall the Participant receive a benefit that is less valuable, on an actuarial basis, than the benefits to which he or she would be entitled under the Plan as in effect on the date of such subsequent termination, taking into account his or her age at the time of such subsequent termination and his or her Benefit Factors
L-16 4841-1404-2944.2 earned during his or her period of reemployment (if any), reduced by the value of the benefits, other than disability benefits, he or she received prior to his or her subsequent termination date.

When determining Pension Credited Service for vesting purposes, the following special rule shall apply: a full year of Pension Credited Service shall be granted for the twelve (12) month period commencing on the Participant’s employment anniversary date next preceding his or her termination of employment date if the Participant completes 1,000 Hours of Service during the portion of such period before his or her termination of employment date; otherwise, the Participant shall be granted a fractional year of Pension Credited Service for the period between such employment anniversary date and his or her termination of employment date calculated in completed months, and any portion of a month in excess of a whole number of months during that period shall be counted as a completed month. However, if such a Participant is rehired before twelve (12) months have elapsed since his or her termination of employment date and thereby receives Pension Credited Service for vesting purposes for his or her Severance Period between his or her date of termination of employment and his or her date of rehire, the preceding sentence shall not apply.
M-4 4841-1404-2944.2 (n) “Period of Service” means a period of time beginning on an Employee’s Employment Commencement Date or Reemployment Commencement Date (whichever applies) and ending on his most recent Severance Date. For purposes of calculating an Employee’s Period of Service, the following rules shall apply: (i) A Period of Service shall be expressed as years and fractional parts of a year (to two decimal places) on the basis that 365 days equal one year. (ii) A Period of Severance shall be deemed to be a Period of Service under either of the following conditions: (A) the Period of Severance immediately follows a period during which an Employee is not absent from work and ends within twelve (12) months; or (B) the Period of Severance immediately follows a period during which an Employee is absent from work for any reason other than quitting, being discharged, or retiring (such as a leave of absence or layoff) and ends within twelve (12) months of the date he or she was first absent. (iii) A Period of Service shall be reduced by (A) all or any part of a Period of Service that is not counted pursuant to the rules set forth in this Plan and/or (B) any Period of Severance that occurred prior to an Employee’s most recent Severance Date, unless such Period of Severance is included under the service spanning rules described in (ii) above. (o) “Period of Severance” means a period of time beginning on an Employee’s Severance Date and ending on the date he or she again performs an Hour of Service. A one-year Period of Severance means a Period of Severance of twelve (12) consecutive months. Solely for purposes of determining whether a one-year Period of Severance has occurred for eligibility or vesting purposes, the consecutive twelve (12) month period beginning on the first anniversary of the first date of a Parental Absence shall not be a one-year Period of Severance. (p) “Permanent and Total Disability” (or derivations thereof) means that an Eligible Employee is unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of a medically determinable physical or mental disability which has existed for six (6) continuous months and which, in the opinion of the qualified physician selected by the Administrator, can reasonably be expected to continue for the balance of his or her life, exclusive of disability resulting from service in the Armed Forces for which he or she received a military pension, intentional self-inflicted injury, participation in a felonious criminal act, or habitual excessive use of intoxicants, drugs or narcotics. The Administrator shall have the responsibility for determining whether a Participant has incurred a disability and, before approving payment of any disability retirement benefit, may require reasonable proof of such disability. (q) “Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity” means, for a Participant who has a Spouse, an immediate survivorship life annuity, where the survivorship percentage is fifty percent (50%) and the Contingent Annuitant is the Participant’s Spouse. A former spouse will be
M-5 4841-1404-2944.2 treated as the Spouse to the extent provided under a qualified domestic relations order as described in Code Section 414(p). This Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity shall be at least the Actuarial Equivalent of any form of annuity benefit offered under the Plan. (r) “Qualified Preretirement Survivor Annuity” means a straight life annuity payable to the surviving Spouse of a Participant who dies before his Annuity Starting Date with a vested benefit hereunder calculated as provided in Section 4.01. A former Spouse will be treated as the surviving Spouse to the extent provided under a qualified domestic relations order as described in Code Section 414(p). (s) “Reemployment Commencement Date” means the date an Employee first performs an Hour of Service following a Period of Severance. (t) “Severance Date” means the earlier of: (i) the date on which an Employee quits, retires, dies, or is discharged, or (ii) the first anniversary of the first date an Employee is absent from service (with or without pay). This absence may be the result of any combination of reasons, including vacation, holiday, sickness, disability, leave of absence, or layoff, but excluding quit, retirement, discharge or death. Solely to determine whether a one-year Period of Severance has occurred for eligibility or vesting purposes for an Employee who is absent from service beyond the first anniversary of the first day of a Parental Absence, the Severance Date is the second anniversary of the first day of the Parental Absence. The period between the first and second anniversaries of the first day of the Parental Absence is not a Period of Service and is not a Period of Severance. (u) “Severance from Employment” means an Employee has ceased to be an Employee. (v) “Spouse” means either (i) the person to whom a Participant is lawfully married on his or her Annuity Starting Date or (ii) in the event the Participant dies prior to his or her Annuity Starting Date, the person to whom the Participant was married throughout the ninety (90) day period preceding the Participant’s death. For purposes hereof, “lawfully married” means legally married (A) under the laws of the United States (or one of the United States) or any other generally recognized jurisdiction and (B) for federal tax purposes. (w) “Vesting Service” – see Pension Credited Service.

An individual who ceases to be a Participant hereunder shall not resume participation at any later date. Section 2.04. Calculation of Pension Credited Service. (a) Disregarded Service. If a person’s employment with the Employer and its Affiliates is terminated when he or she has no nonforfeitable right to a benefit derived from Employer contributions under the Plan, then if the number of days in the Employee’s Period of Severance equals or exceeds the greater of six (6) years or one year plus his or her Period of Service, whether or not consecutive, completed before such Period of Severance, then any Period of Service accrued prior to such break in service shall be disregarded. (b) Service with Foreign Corporation. A Participant who leaves the employment of the Employer and its Affiliates to accept employment with a corporation which is
M-7 4841-1404-2944.2 directly or indirectly owned fifty percent (50%) or more by the Company or an Affiliate but which is organized outside of the United States, or to accept employment (at the written request of the Employer) with any other corporation organized outside of the United States, shall, if he or she thereafter returns to employment in the United States with the Employer or its Affiliates for at least twelve (12) months, earn benefits as if he or she had continued in the employment of the Employer and its Affiliates for the period of such foreign employment; provided, however, that any benefits credited for such period shall be reduced (but not below zero) by the amount of any foreign pension or severance payment earned during such period. (c) Disability Accrual. Except as may be provided otherwise in this Part, a Participant who becomes disabled while employed by the Employer or its Affiliates and who is receiving disability benefits pursuant to the Social Security Laws shall for the purposes of this Plan be considered as having continued in the employment of the Employer, so long as he or she continues to receive such benefits, until the earliest of (i) the date he or she is no longer permanently and totally disabled, (ii) the date he or she has attained his or her Normal Retirement Date, (iii) his or her Annuity Starting Date, or (iv) the date he or she dies. (d) Leaves of Absence. A Participant under this Part on an Employer- approved leave of absence not described in Section 2.04 of the Master Plan Document shall be considered as having continued in the employment of the Employer for the period such leave of absence up to a maximum of two (2) years, provided such person (i) applies for and accepts (if offered) reemployment with the Employer or its Affiliates, and (ii) completes at least one (1) Year of Service with the Employer or its Affiliates after the completion of such leave of absence. Such approved leaves of absence shall be given on a uniform non-discriminatory basis.
M-8 4841-1404-2944.2 ARTICLE III. RETIREMENT BENEFITS Section 3.01. Retirement Benefits. (a) Normal Retirement Benefit. A Participant who terminates employment from the Company and its Affiliates at his or her Normal Retirement Date may commence receiving his or her vested Normal Retirement Benefit. The monthly Normal Retirement Benefit shall equal eighteen dollars and fifty cents ($18.50) multiplied by his or her years (and fractions thereof) of Pension Credited Service, reduced by the normal retirement benefit payable for such Participant under the Emerson Plan (e.g., the Emerson Plan accrued benefit). (b) Early Retirement Benefit. A Participant who terminates employment from the Company and its Affiliates after meeting the Early Retirement Age and Service Requirement and before Normal Retirement Age shall be entitled to receive a monthly Early Retirement Benefit equal to his or her monthly Normal Retirement Benefit, reduced as follows: (i) If a Participant has not completed 30 or more years of Pension Credited Service at his or her Annuity Starting Date, the amount so determined shall be reduced for each month by which the Annuity Starting Date of the Participant precedes his or her Normal Retirement Date at the rate of 1/3% for each such month between the first day of the month on or after the 55th and 60th birthdays of the Participant, and at the rate of 1/2% for each such month between the first day of the month on or after the 60th birthday of the Participant and his or her Normal Retirement Date. (ii) If a Participant has completed at least 30 years of Pension Credited Service at his or her Annuity Starting Date, the amounts so determined shall be reduced for each month by which the Annuity Starting Date of the Participant precedes his or her Normal Retirement Date at the rate of 1/3% for each such month between the first day of the month on or after the 55th and 60th birthdays of the Participant, and at the rate of 1/2% for each such month between the first day of the month on or after the 60th and 62nd birthdays of the Participant. (c) Late Retirement Benefit. A Participant who terminates employment from the Company and its Affiliates after Normal Retirement Age shall receive a monthly postponed Retirement Benefit equal to the benefit he or she would have received at his or her Normal Retirement Date but based upon his or her Pension Credited Service up to his or her actual retirement. If an Employee continues working for an Employer or any Affiliate after his Normal Retirement Date, then the suspension of benefits provisions of Section 3.08 of the Master Plan Document shall apply.
M-9 4841-1404-2944.2 Section 3.02. Disregard of Accrued Benefit. If a Participant receives a single sum payment equal to the Actuarial Equivalent present value of his or her entire vested Accrued Benefit, then his or her entire Accrued Benefit as of the date of the distribution shall be disregarded. If the Actuarial Equivalent present value of a Participant’s vested Accrued Benefit was zero and he or she was deemed to have received a distribution of such present value of his entire vested Accrued Benefit, and he or she again becomes an Eligible Employee before the end of the first period of five (5) consecutive one-year Periods of Severance that begin after the date of the deemed distribution, upon the date he or she again performs an Hour of Service as an Eligible Employee, the Employer derived Accrued Benefit (including all optional forms of benefits and subsidies relating to such benefits) shall be restored to the amount of such Accrued Benefit on the date of the deemed distribution.
M-10 4841-1404-2944.2 ARTICLE IV. OTHER BENEFITS Section 4.01. Death Benefits. (a) If a vested Participant dies before his or her Annuity Starting Date, the only death benefits payable shall be the Qualified Preretirement Survivor Annuity. (b) If a Qualified Preretirement Survivor Annuity becomes payable pursuant to subsection (a), the Participant’s surviving Spouse shall be paid, commencing on the first day of the month following the later of the Participant’s death or the date the Participant would have attained his or her Early Retirement Age, a survivor annuity for the life of the surviving Spouse; provided, however, that distribution to the surviving Spouse shall not be made prior to the date the Participant would have attained his or her Normal Retirement Age without the consent of the surviving Spouse. Benefits must start by the date the Participant would have been age 70½. If the Spouse dies before the Qualified Preretirement Survivor Annuity starts, no death benefits are payable hereunder. (c) If the Participant is employed by the Employer at the time of his or her death, then the amount payable to the Participant’s surviving Spouse in the form of a Qualified Preretirement Survivor Annuity shall be fifty percent (50%) of the amount calculated under Section 3.01 of this Part based on the Pension Credited Service accrued as of the date of his or her death, reduced by the early retirement reduction factors if the death benefit begins before the Participant’s Normal Retirement Date. If the Participant is not employed at the time of his or her death, the amount payable to the Participant’s surviving Spouse in the form of a Qualified Preretirement Survivor Annuity shall be fifty percent (50%) of the amount calculated under Section 3.01 of this Part based on the Pension Credited Service accrued as of the date of his or her death, with the following adjustments: (i) The benefit shall be reduced by the actuarial factors used to convert the benefit under Section 3.02 to a Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity; and (ii) The early retirement reduction factors shall be applied if the death benefit begins before the Participant’s Normal Retirement Date. (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant elects within ninety (90) days before the Participant’s Annuity Starting Date a survivorship annuity providing a greater than fifty percent (50%) death benefit and the Contingent Annuitant is the Participant’s Spouse, then such greater percentage shall be paid in lieu of the fifty percent (50%) benefit described in subsection (c) above. Such election must be a qualified election according to the provisions of Sections 3.02 and 3.03 of the Master Plan Document. Section 4.02. Disability Benefits. (a) Disability Benefit Exception. A Participant who: (i) has twenty (20) years (ten (10) years if hired on or before July 1, 1989) of Pension Credited Service; (ii) has attained age 40; and (iii) has met the requirements for Permanent and Total Disability (while working as
M-11 4841-1404-2944.2 an Eligible Employee), shall receive a monthly Disability Benefit, beginning with the date he or she is eligible to receive disability benefits under the Social Security Act. The monthly Disability Benefit shall be a monthly amount equal to the benefit to which he or she would be entitled at his or her Normal Retirement Date as calculated under Section 3.01 but based on his or her Pension Credited Service accrued as of the first day of the month coincident with or next following the date the Participant is determined to be Permanently and Totally Disabled, reduced by any lump sum payment due on account of workers compensation or occupational disease laws. No disability benefit shall be due until such lump sum, as so charged on a monthly basis against the monthly disability retirement benefit otherwise payable under the Plan, is exhausted. Such Disability Benefit shall continue until the Participant ceases to be Permanently and Totally Disabled, dies, or reaches his or her Normal Retirement Date or Annuity Starting Date. If the disabled Participant is not entitled to receive disability benefits for any period after his or her Normal Retirement Date pursuant to a long term disability plan maintained by the Employer, he or she will be deemed to be retired on his or her Normal Retirement Date and shall be eligible to begin to receive a Normal Retirement Benefit, in accordance with the Plan’s procedures (including the requirement that an application for benefits be made). If the disabled Participant is entitled to receive disability benefits for any period after his or her Normal Retirement Date pursuant to a long term disability plan maintained by the Employer, he or she shall continue to receive his or her Disability Benefit hereunder, and when his or her benefit pursuant to such long term disability plan ceases, his or her Disability Benefit hereunder shall cease and he or she shall be deemed to be retired at his or her late Retirement Date and shall be eligible to receive a late Retirement Benefit, in accordance with the Plan’s procedures (including the requirement that an application for benefits be made). In calculating the Early Retirement Benefit (if any), Normal Retirement Benefit, or late Retirement Benefit, for purposes of this Section, only the Pension Credited Service earned before the Participant became Permanently and Totally Disabled shall be counted. Section 4.03. Vested Benefits. (a) A Participant whose employment is terminated after he or she has earned at least five (5) years of Vesting Service shall be entitled to a benefit as described in this section. (b) A person whose employment is terminated other than by death before he or she has earned five (5) years of Vesting Service or reached Normal Retirement Age shall receive no benefit under this Plan. (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Participant who dies while employed with the Employer or who remains in employment with the Employer until the date he or she satisfies the requirements for Normal Retirement Age shall have a one-hundred percent (100%) nonforfeitable right to his or her Accrued Benefit. (d) A Participant who becomes an inactive Participant before retirement or death (and, if applicable, before the date a disability payment begins under Section 4.02) will be entitled to one of the following, whichever is applicable: (i) Payment of his Accrued Benefit to begin on his or her Normal Retirement Date.
M-12 4841-1404-2944.2 (ii) If the Participant has satisfied the Early Retirement Age and Service Requirements, a deferred monthly retirement benefit under the Normal Form to begin on his or her Early Retirement Date. The deferred retirement benefit shall be equal to the amount under (i) above multiplied by the applicable early retirement factor set forth in Section 3.01(b). (iii) A deferred monthly retirement benefit under the Normal Form to begin on his Late Retirement Date. The deferred retirement benefit shall be determined as follows: (A) For a Participant who became an inactive Participant on or before his or her Normal Retirement Date, an amount equal to the amount under (i) above multiplied by the late retirement factor in Article III that corresponds to the number of years his Late Retirement Date follows his Normal Retirement Date. (B) For a Participant who became an inactive Participant after his or her Normal Retirement Date, an amount equal to the greater of (1) or (2) below: (1) The Participant’s Accrued Benefit on the day before the date he or she became an inactive Participant. (2) His or her Accrued Benefit on his or her Normal Retirement Date actuarially adjusted to reflect the delay in commencement of benefits after his Normal Retirement Date. Provided, however, for an inactive Participant whose Late Retirement Date occurs after the April 1 following the calendar year in which he or she attains age 70½, such Participant’s deferred monthly retirement benefit determined in (1) or (2) above, whichever applies, shall be actuarially adjusted to reflect the delay in commencement of benefits after such April 1 date. Any distribution of vested benefits shall be a retirement benefit and shall be subject to the distribution of benefits provisions of Article V and the provisions of Section 3.06 of the Master Plan Document. The Participant’s Accrued Benefit shall be calculated on the day before he or she became an inactive Participant. The amount of payment under any form (other than the Normal Form) shall be determined as provided under Section 3.02 of the Master Plan Document. If the Participant dies before his or her Annuity Starting Date, death benefits shall be distributed according to the provisions of Section 4.01.
M-13 4841-1404-2944.2 ARTICLE V. WHEN BENEFITS START AND DISTRIBUTION OF BENEFITS Section 5.01. When Benefits Start. (a) A Participant with a vested benefit who terminates employment on or after meeting the Early Retirement Age and Service Requirements may commence receipt of his or her benefits on an Early Retirement Date, or on any later date as he or she may elect. (b) A Participant who terminates employment prior to his or her Early Retirement Date but who has met the service requirements under the Early Retirement Age and Service Requirements may elect to begin receiving an early retirement benefit on the first day of any month coincident with or following his or her Early Retirement Age, or on any later date as he or she may elect, or may elect to receive a Normal Retirement Benefit commencing on his or her Normal Retirement Date. Section 5.02. Mandatory Participant Contributions. Prior to October 1, 1989, “Contributing Participants” may have contributed to the Emerson Plan. Any withdrawal rights with respect to such contributions shall be provided under the Emerson Plan, not this Plan. Section 5.03. Automatic Forms of Distribution. Unless an optional form of benefit is selected pursuant to a qualified election within the election period (see Sections 3.02 and 3.03 of the Master Plan Document), the automatic form of benefit payable to or on behalf of a Participant is determined as follows: (a) Retirement Benefits. The automatic form of retirement benefit for a Participant who does not die before his Annuity Starting Date shall be: (i) The Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity for a Participant who has a Spouse on his or her Annuity Starting Date. (ii) The Normal Form for a Participant who does not have a Spouse on his or her Annuity Starting Date. (b) Death Benefits. The automatic form of death benefit for a Participant who dies before his Annuity Starting Date is determined according to the provisions of Section 4.01. Section 5.04. Suspension of Benefits Upon Reemployment. In the event a Participant who is receiving benefits under the Plan returns to the full-time employment of the Employer (as defined in the Employer’s employment practices) prior to his or her Required Beginning Date, payment of his or her benefits will continue. Upon his or her subsequent termination of employment with the Employer, the Participant shall continue to receive the benefit he or she was receiving during the period of reemployment; provided that, if the Participant’s most recent termination of employment occurred prior to January 1, 2018, then, to the extent the law so requires, in no event shall the Participant receive a benefit that is less valuable, on an actuarial basis, than the benefits to which he or she would be entitled under the Plan as in effect on the date of such subsequent termination, taking into account his or her age at the time of such subsequent termination and his or her Pension Credited
M-14 4841-1404-2944.2 Service earned during his or her period of reemployment (if any), reduced by the value of the benefits, other than disability benefits, he or she received prior to his or her subsequent termination date.
