Any such election must be made at least sixty (60) days prior to the date the Participant's retirement benefits would commence pursuant to such election. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Program, in the event a Participant who is actively employed on September 1, 1991 and whose Full Benefit Date is prior to January 1, 1992 elects to commence receiving distribution of his retirement benefits on January 1, 1992 pursuant to the election procedure set forth above, such Participant shall be entitled to either of the following as he shall irrevocably elect no later than November 1, 1991:

  (a)
  
he may receive a single lump sum payment of the retirement benefit payments which he would have received under the Program between his Full Benefit Date and January 1, 1992 together with interest for such period at the rates payable throughout such period on 13-week U.S. Treasury Bills compounded quarterly; or
  (b)
  
he may receive an actuarially increased monthly amount of retirement benefits to reflect the actuarial value of the retirement benefit payments which he would have received under the Program between his Full Benefit Date and January 1, 1992.

     4.2 Each Participant who remains in the Continuous Service of the Company until his completion of ten (10) years of Vesting Service and his attainment of age fifty-five (55) shall be entitled to retire at any time thereafter until his Full Benefit Date, and shall be eligible for retirement

benefits under this Program commencing on the first day of any month on or after his termination of employment but no later than his Full Benefit Date, as such Participant shall designate in writing to the Compensation Committee.

                 4.3 Each Participant, whose employment terminates (i) after his completion of ten (10) years of Vesting Service, and (ii) prior to his attainment of age fifty-five (55), shall be eligible for retirement benefits under this Program commencing on the first day of any month on or after his attainment of age fifty-five (55) but not later than his Full Benefit Date as such Participant shall designate in writing to the Compensation Committee.

                 4.4 Each Participant who becomes Disabled and who continues to receive disability benefit payments pursuant to Article V hereof until his Full Benefit Date shall be eligible for retirement benefits under this Program commencing on his Full Benefit Date.

No retirement benefit payments shall be made pursuant to this Article IV after the death of the Participant.

                 4.6 Subject to adjustments pursuant to Section 4.8 hereof, the monthly amount of retirement benefits payable to a Participant eligible therefor pursuant to this Article IV shall be equal to his Basic Retirement Benefit reduced by the total of:

  (a)
  
his Social Security Offset; plus
  (b)
  
the amount specified in Section 4.7 hereof; plus
  (c)
  
his Annuity Offset calculated as of the date his retirement benefits commence to him pursuant to this Article IV.

     4.7 The amount of the reduction specified in Subsection 4.6(b)

above shall be equal to the total Other Retirement Plan Benefits payable, or which would be payable upon application therefor, to the Participant on a Joint and Survivor Basis on the date retirement benefits commence to the Participant pursuant to this Article IV. In the event that the Participant is entitled to or was previously entitled to nonforfeitable Other Retirement Plan Benefits, but such benefits either are not payable and would not be payable upon application on a Joint and Survivor Basis, the amount of the reduction specified in Subsection 4.6(b) above shall be equal to the amount which, if such amount were payable on a Joint and Survivor Basis, would be the Actuarial Equivalent of his nonforfeitable Other Retirement Plan Benefits.

     Further, in the event that the Participant has received nonforfeitable Other Retirement Plan Benefits prior to the date retirement benefits commence to him under this Article IV, the amount of the reduction specified in Subsection 4.6(b) above shall be equal to the amount which, if such amount were payable on a Joint and Survivor Basis commencing on the date retirement benefits commence to the Participant pursuant to this Article IV, would be the Actuarial Equivalent of his nonforfeitable Other Retirement Plan Benefits.

     The reduction referred to in Subsection 4.6(b) shall be computed on the date retirement benefits commence to the Participant under this Article IV taking into account the Other Retirement Plan Benefits which have commenced or could commence on or before such date. The reduction for any Other Retirement Plan Benefit which has commenced or could have commenced shall not thereafter be subject to adjustment by reason of any change in such Other Retirement Plan Benefit payable to the Participant.

     In the event that the Participant will be eligible to receive certain Other Retirement Plan Benefits which are not payable until a date subsequent to the date that retirement benefits commence to him under this Article IV, such Other Retirement Plan Benefits shall not be a reduction

pursuant to Subsection 4.6(b) above until the date that the benefits would first be payable to the Participant. The reduction for these Other Retirement Plan Benefits shall be calculated as of the date they would first be payable and shall be added to the reduction for the Other Retirement Plan Benefits which had commenced previously. Once an adjustment has been made for any Other Retirement Plan Benefit, it shall not thereafter be subject to adjustment by reason of any change in such Other Retirement Plan Benefit payable to the Participant.

     For purposes of this Section 4.7, if a Participant is eligible for retirement benefits pursuant to Section 4.4 hereof, any Other Retirement Plan Benefits paid to the Disabled Participant prior to his Full Benefit Date shall be disregarded, and the amount of the reduction specified in Subsection 4.6(b) above shall be computed solely on the basis of the amount of Other Retirement Plan Benefits, if any, payable on and after his Full Benefit Date.

     4.8 The amount of retirement benefits payable to a Participant, who is receiving retirement benefits pursuant to Section 4.1 hereof but who has not attained age seventy (70), retired, become Disabled or terminated employment with the Company, shall be computed on the basis of a zero Social Security Offset. Upon the earliest to occur of his attainment of age seventy (70), retirement, becoming Disabled or termination of employment with the Company, the amount of his retirement benefits shall be recomputed to reflect the change in his Social Security Offset on such date.

     The amount of retirement benefits payable to any other Participant shall be computed on the basis of the Social Security Offset which reflects the amount of primary Social Security Benefits he would be eligible to receive on the date his retirement benefits commence if he did not have any Earned Income and shall not be recomputed thereafter. If a Participant is not eligible for primary Social Security benefits for a reason other than a limit on his maximum Earned Income, his retirement benefits under this Article IV shall be initially

computed on the basis of a zero Social Security Offset and, on the date he first becomes eligible to receive such benefits or would become eligible to receive such benefits except for a limit on his maximum Earned Income, the amount of his retirement benefits under this Article IV shall be recomputed to reflect the change in his Social Security Offset on such date.

     4.9 The amount of retirement benefits payable to a Participant who continues to work after the date his retirement benefits commence shall be recomputed to reflect the changes in his Final Earnings, Continuous Service and Figgie Continuous Service on each January 1 following the commencement of his retirement benefits.

    (i)

seventy-five percent (75%) of the Participant's Final Earnings if either (A) he was a Participant on February 18, 1987, or (B) he was hired on or prior to February 18, 1987 and shall have completed twenty (20) years of Figgie Continuous Service on the date he became Disabled; or

  (ii) sixty-five percent (65%) of the Participant's Final Earnings if he was not a Participant on February 18, 1987 and either (A) he was hired after February 18, 1987 or (B) he had not completed twenty (20) years of Figgie Continuous Service on the date he became Disabled; and
  (b) equals a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the totalyears of Continuous Service which the Participant would have

(ii)
  
the date payments to the Disabled Participant under any short-term disability benefits plan of the Company shall cease;
(iii) the date the waiting period for disability benefits under the Federal Social Security Act ends, if the Disabled Participant is eligible for such disability benefits;
(iv) the date upon which there is any change in the definition of disability contained in any long-term disability plan of the Company under which he is eligible to receive disability benefits; and
(v) the date upon which there is any change in the rate of the Disabled Participant's Earned Income.

In any such recomputation, increases in the rate of the Disabled Participant's disability benefits under the Federal Social Security Act as a result of amendments to such Act or increases in the cost of living shall be disregarded. Disability benefits payable pursuant to this Article V after the date of the recomputation shall be paid in accordance with the amount as recomputed.

above shall be equal to the total monthly Other Retirement Plan Benefits payable to the Disabled Participant, and any such benefits which would be payable upon application therefor, which benefits commence on the date the Participant became Disabled or after any waiting period specified in the retirement plans under which such benefits are paid, and which benefits shall be payable until the Participant's Full Benefit Date if the Participant shall remain Disabled. In the event that the Participant is entitled to any Other Retirement Plan Benefits, but such benefits will terminate prior to his Full Benefit Date even though he continues to be Disabled, then the amount of the reduction specified in Subsection 5.2(C) hereof shall be equal to the amount which, if such amount were payable until his Full Benefit Date, would be the Actuarial Equivalent of such Other Retirement Plan Benefits.

     Any Other Retirement Plan Benefits which would be payable to the Participant if he were disabled within the meaning of the word "disability" as defined in the retirement plan under which such benefits are paid shall be disregarded in the computation of the reduction specified in Subsection 5.2(C) hereof if it has been finally determined by the administrator of such retirement plan that the Disabled Participant is not so disabled.

     5.4 A Participant shall become entitled to disability benefits under this Article V only if the Compensation Committee finds that he is Disabled as that term is defined in this Program. In any case, where the Compensation Committee makes a determination with respect to the disability of any Participant applying for disability benefits, or of any Disabled Participant during the period he is receiving such benefits, the Participant shall be required to submit to such examinations and reexaminations by a clinic, physician or physicians selected by the Compensation Committee as the Compensation Committee deems necessary to establish his eligibility for such disability benefits or his continued eligibility therefor; provided that, in the case of any Disabled Participant while he is receiving such disability

benefits, reexaminations shall not be made more frequently than once in any twelve (12) month period. The Compensation Committee may substitute other equally conclusive evidence, if it so decides, in place of such examination by a clinic, physician or physicians. Fees of any clinic, physician or physicians making such examinations shall be paid by the Company.

     5.5 During any period that a Disabled Participant is receiving disability benefits under this Article V, he shall keep the Compensation Committee informed, at all times, as to the amount, if any, of his Earned Income and of any changes in the rate of his Earned Income.
