“The LIP benefit is an annual amount payable during the period that the Participant is an Active Participant and is equal to the sum of (a) the amount of the annual premium due under the policy described in Section 3.2, reduced by the portion of such annual premium payable by the Participant as and to the extent determined by the Plan Administrator, plus (b) the amount determined under Clause (a) multiplied by the tax withholding rate for supplemental wages applicable to the Participant. The face amount of the death benefit under the policy shall depend upon the type of policy designated by the Plan Administrator pursuant to Section 3.2 for the Participant and the Participant's band level as an Eligible Contracted Officer, as in effect on the applicable policy anniversary date of each calendar year.”
