AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO THE UNIFIED WESTERN GROCERS, INC. CASH BALANCE PLAN
Exhibit 10.1.1
AMENDMENT NO. 2
TO THE
UNIFIED WESTERN GROCERS, INC.
CASH BALANCE PLAN
Unified Western Grocers, Inc. (the Company) hereby amends the above-named plan (the Plan), effective as of January 1, 2002, as follows. If there is a conflict between this Amendment and Appendix B (EGTRRA Model Amendment) of the Plan, then Appendix B shall govern.
1. Section 6.3(a) of the Plan is amended and restated to read as follows:
(a) If an optional form of benefit has been selected as set forth in Section 6.2, a Participant may elect one of the benefit options set forth below. The Participants optional form of benefit shall be the Actuarial Equivalent of the Participants normal form of benefit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the optional temporary annuity provided for in Subsection (e) below and the installment or lump sum distribution provided for in Subsection (f) below shall be determined using the Applicable Mortality Table and the Applicable Interest Rate. If the present value of such Participants Accrued Benefit is not in excess of $5,000, the Committee may direct the Trustee to distribute such benefits as an immediate cash lump sum, without such Participants consent.
2. Section 6.9(a)(ii) of the Plan is amended and restated to read as follows:
(ii) If the payment of benefits begin before a Participants Social Security Retirement Age, the maximum benefit limit set forth above shall be reduced, if necessary, as follows:
(A) If a Participants Social Security Retirement Age is 65, the dollar limitation for benefits commencing on or after age 62 is determined by reducing the maximum benefit limit by 5/9 of one percent for each month by which benefits commence before the month in which the Participant attains age 65.
(B) If a Participants Social Security Retirement Age is greater than 65, the dollar limitation for benefits commencing on or after age 62 is determined by reducing the maximum benefit limit by 5/9 of one percent for each of the first 36 months and 5/12 of one percent for each of the additional months (up to 24 months) by which benefits commence before the month of the Participants Social Security Retirement Age.
(C) If the annual benefit of a Participant commences prior to age 62, the determination as to whether the limitations described in this Section have been satisfied shall be made in accordance with the Regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury or his delegate by adjusting the dollar limitation so it is the Actuarial Equivalent of the dollar limitation applicable at age 62. Actuarial Equivalent for this purpose shall be subject to the limitations of Code Section 415(b)(2)(E).

3. The following new Section 6.9(a)(iv) is added to the Plan and the current Section 6.9(a)(iv) is renumbered to be Section 6.9(a)(v):
(iv) If the Participants benefit payable under this Plan is payable in a form other than the Participants normal form of benefit, the determination as to whether the limitations described in this Section have been satisfied shall be made in accordance with Regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury or his delegate by adjusting such benefit so that it is the actuarial equivalent to a benefit in the normal form of benefit. For benefits that are not subject to Code Section 417(e)(3), the actuarial equivalent of benefits payable in a normal form shall be equal to the greater of the equivalent annual benefit computed using the interest rate and mortality table specified in the Plan for actuarial equivalence for the particular form of benefit payable, and the equivalent annual benefit computed using a 5% interest rate assumption and the Applicable Mortality Table. For benefits that are subject to Code Section 417(e)(3), the actuarial equivalent of benefits payable in a normal form shall be equal to the greater of the equivalent annual benefit computed using the interest rate and mortality table specified in the Plan for actuarial equivalence for the particular form of benefit payable, and the equivalent annual benefit computed using the Applicable Interest Rate and the Applicable Mortality Table.
4. The effective date of Amendment No. 1 to the Plan shall be January 1, 2002.
