3. Effective January 1, 2002, Section 3-2 shall be amended in its entirety to read as follows:
Sec. 3-2. Payment of Supplemental Benefit. Except as provided below in the case of a Change of Control or a Sale of Assets, and subject to Section 3-3, the benefit determined pursuant to Section 3-1 shall be paid to the person entitled thereto as though it were a part of the benefit being paid to such person under the TI Employees Pension Plan, so that it is subject to the same limits and restrictions (other than the limitations referenced in subparagraphs (a), (b) and (c) of Section 3-1) as such persons benefits are subject to under the TI Employees Pension Plan; provided however, that the benefits payable under this Plan shall only be distributed in the form of a lump sum distribution at such time as is administratively practicable. Notwithstanding the above, the benefits that are payable under this Plan may be deferred pursuant to the terms and provisions of the Deferred Compensation Plan.
In the event of a Change of Control, the present value of each Participants benefits accrued under this Plan as of the date of the Change of Control shall be distributed in a lump sum, not later than the month following the month in which such Change of Control occurred. In the event of a Sale of Assets, the present value of each Affected Participants accrued benefit under this Plan, as of the date of the Sale of Assets shall be distributed in a lump sum, as soon as administratively practicable following such Sale of Assets.
Following the Change of Control or Sale of Assets (as applicable), the Plan shall thereafter continue to be administered in accordance with its terms as though the Change of Control or Sale of Assets (as applicable) had not occurred (provided that the benefits accrued subsequent to the Change of Control or Sale of Assets (as applicable) shall be adjusted to reflect the cash-out of previously accrued benefits). In computing the present value of such accrued benefits, the Administrator shall utilize the actuarial assumptions utilized under the TI Employees Pension Plan prior to the Change of Control or Sale of Assets (as applicable), in consultation with the firm of consulting actuaries engaged to perform annual actuarial valuations under the TI Employees Pension Plan prior to the date of the Change of Control or Sale of Assets (as applicable).
4. Except as amended hereby, the TI Supplemental Pension Plan, as previously amended, shall continue in full force and effect.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Texas Instruments Incorporated has caused this instrument to be executed by its duly authorized officer, this 16th day of July, 2002.
