Thereafter, and subject to subsections (b) and (c) below, Medical Benefits shall continue to be paid with respect to claims incurred up until the end of the calendar month in which the first of the following occurs: |
| (i) | In the case of a Retired Participant, his death or; |

| (b) | Notwithstanding Section 12.3(a), in the event that a Participant Contribution is required to be paid with respect to Medical Benefits for any Retired Participant or Covered Dependent, payment of Medical Benefits shall cease to be made with respect to claims incurred by such individuals during any calendar month for which a Participant Contribution is due but is not timely paid. A Retired Participant may elect to discontinue Medical Benefits for his Covered Dependents (in favor of no or a reduced level of benefits as may be permitted from time to time by the Committee) by filing a form for this purpose with the Committee or its designee, and by providing such other information as the Committee or its designee shall require. In such event, payment of Medical Benefits shall cease to be made with respect to claims incurred by such Covered Dependents after the effective date of the discontinuance of coverage, or in the case of the election of a reduced level of benefits, when the applicable limitations with respect to such reduced benefit level have been |
8
| exceeded or the Retired Participant (or Covered Dependent) ceases to pay any required Participant Contribution necessary to sustain the benefit level elected. The Committee may establish procedures for permitting Covered Dependents for whom Medical Benefits have been discontinued to later resume coverage, but only upon the provision of evidence satisfactory to the Committee of medical insurability. |
| (c) | Notwithstanding Section 12.2(a), in certain circumstances and for a limited period of time, commencing on and after January 1, 1987, a Covered Dependent who would otherwise be ineligible for Medical Benefits under this Article XII due to the death or divorce of the Retired Participant, or who is no longer a Covered Dependent, shall be entitled to elect to continue to be eligible for such Medical Benefits (“Continuation Coverage”) upon the occurrence of the following events (“Qualifying Events”): |
| (i) | In the event of the death of the Retired Participant, a Covered Dependent may elect to continue to be eligible for Medical Benefits for a period not to exceed 36 months following the Retired Participant’s death, subject to the restrictions of Section 12.3(c)(iv). |
| (ii) | In the event of the divorce of a Retired Participant from his Spouse, such Spouse may elect to continue to be eligible for Medical Benefits for a period not to exceed 36 months following the date upon which coverage would otherwise cease under the terms of the Plan, subject to the restrictions of Section 12.3(c)(iv). |
| (iii) | Upon the attainment by a child of a Retired Participant of the date, as set forth in paragraphs (a)(i) and (ii) of Section 12.2, when he is no longer a Covered Dependent, such child may elect to continue to be eligible for Medical Benefits for a period not to exceed 36 months following such date, subject to the restrictions of Section 12.3(c)(iv). |
| (iv) | Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraphs (i), (ii) and (iii), Continuation Coverage for a Covered Dependent shall cease upon the first to occur of the following: |
| (A) | The date that such Covered Dependent becomes covered (as an employee or otherwise) under any other group health plan which does not contain any exclusion or limitation with respect to any preexisting condition of such individual. |
9
| (B) | The date that such Covered Dependent becomes entitled to receive Medicare benefits under Title XVIII of the Social Security Act. |
| (C) | The date upon which this Plan ceases to provide retiree medical benefits to any Retired Participant and his Covered Dependents, and the Employer Companies do not provide such benefits through another funding vehicle or group health plan or plans. |
| (D) | The date upon which coverage ceases as a result of the Covered Dependent failing to make timely payment of the premium required pursuant to Section 12.(3)(d). |
| (d) | The Committee shall require the payment of a premium by a Covered Dependent for any period of Continuation Coverage, subject to the following restrictions: |
| (i) | The decision to require payment of a premium, and the amount of such premium, shall be applied consistently to all Covered Dependents of Retired Participants similarly situated; |
| (ii) | The premium shall not exceed 102 percent of the “applicable premium” for such period, as that term is defined in ERISA § 604; and |
| (iii) | The premium may, at the election of the Covered Dependent, be made in monthly installments. |
If an election by a Covered Dependent to receive Continuation Coverage is made after the occurrence of the Qualifying Event, the Covered Dependent shall be permitted to pay for Continuation Coverage during the period preceding the election, such payment to be made within 45 days of the date of the election.
| (e) | (i) The Committee, or its delegate, shall inform each Retired Participant and his Spouse (if any) of the rights provided under this Section 12.3, at the time of commencement of coverage under this Article or as otherwise provided by law. |
| (ii) | The Committee, or its delegate, shall notify each Covered Dependent eligible to elect Continuation Coverage of his rights under this Section 12.3 within 14 days after the Committee, or its delegate, is notified of the occurrence of a Qualifying Event as set forth in Section 12.3(c). Notification to a Covered Dependent who is the Spouse of the Retired Participant shall be treated as notification to all other Covered Dependents who may be eligible to elect Continuation Coverage and who reside with such Spouse at the time such notification is made. |
10
| (f) | A Covered Dependent must affirmatively elect, by a writing delivered to the Committee or its delegate, to receive Continuation Coverage. Such election must be made no later than 60 days after the later of (1) the date of the Qualifying Event or (2) the date such Covered Dependent receives notice under Section 12.3(e)(ii). |
Section 12.4 Funding Method and Policy. All contributions to fund Medical Benefits provided under this Article XII shall be made by the Employer Companies, except those relating to (i) Continuation Coverage provided for in Section 12.3 hereof and (ii) that portion of coverage with respect to which Participant Contributions are required as provided for in Section 12.10 hereof. Subject to the restrictions of this Section 12.4 and Section 12.5, and taking into account Participant Contributions and contributions for Continuation Coverage, the Employer Companies shall contribute to the Medical Benefits Account an annual amount which is reasonably estimated to cover the total cost of the Medical Benefits to be provided hereunder and which satisfies the general requirements applicable to deductions allowable under Code § 404 (as set forth in Treasury Regulation § 1.404(a)-1). The total cost of providing Medical Benefits shall be determined in accordance with any generally accepted actuarial method which is reasonable in view of the provisions and coverage of the Plan, the funding medium, and other applicable considerations. The amount deductible by each Employer Company on account of such contributions for any taxable year shall not exceed the greater of:
| (a) | An amount determined by distributing the remaining unfunded costs of past and current service credits as a level amount, or as a level percentage of compensation, over the remaining future service of each Participant employed by the Employer Company. |
| (b) | 10 percent of the cost which would be required to completely fund or purchase Medical Benefits provided hereunder for the Participants employed by the Employer Company and their Covered Dependents. |
In determining the amount deductible, an Employer Company must apply either paragraph (a) for all Participants or paragraph (b) for all Participants. If contributions paid by an Employer Company in a taxable year to fund Medical Benefits hereunder exceed the limitation of this Section, but otherwise satisfy the conditions for deduction under Code § 404, then the excess contributions may be carried over in accordance with the provisions of Treasury Regulation § 1.404(a)(3)(f) and be deducted in a later year. For the purpose of applying paragraph (a), if the remaining future service of a Participant is one year or less, it shall be treated as one year.
11
Section 12.5 Subordination to Retirement Benefits.
| (a) | It is intended that the Medical Benefits provided under this Article XII, when added to any Life Insurance Protection provided under this Plan be subordinate at all times to the retirement benefits provided under this Plan. Therefore, the aggregate of contributions (made after the effective date of this Article XII) for the funding of Medical Benefits pursuant to this Article XII, as well as any Life Insurance Protection, shall at no time exceed 25 percent of the aggregate contributions (made after such effective date) other than contributions to fund past service credits. |
| (b) | For purposes of this Section 12.5, “Life Insurance Protection” means any benefit paid under the Plan on behalf of a Participant as a result of the Participant’s death to the extent such payment exceeds the amount of the reserve to provide the retirement benefits for such Participant existing at his death. |
Section 12.6 Forfeitures. In the event that a Participant’s interest in the Medical Benefits Account is forfeited prior to termination of such account, an amount equal to the amount of the forfeiture must be applied as soon as possible to reduce Employer contributions to fund the Medical Benefits provided under this Article XII.
Section 12.7 Benefits Provision. The benefits payable pursuant to this Article XII shall be limited to the payment of Medical Benefits for Retired Participants and their Covered Dependents. No benefit shall be provided which is not described in Code § 401(h) or the Regulations thereunder. It is anticipated that the same level of Medical Benefits shall be provided to all eligible Retired Participants, and in any event the Medical Benefits provided under this Article XII and the Employer contributions to fund said Medical Benefits shall not discriminate in favor of the officers, shareholders, supervisory employees, or highly compensated employees of the Employer Companies within the meaning of Treasury Regulation § 1.401-14.
Section 12.8 Supervision of Account. The Committee shall have general supervision of the operation of the Medical Benefits Account shall conduct the business of said Account, including the administration of claims, in accordance with Article IX and the other provisions of this Plan, except as otherwise provided in this Article XII, or in accordance with applicable law.
Section 12.9 Coordination with Employer-Maintained Group Medical Insurance for Active Participants and their Covered Dependents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article XII, if a Retired Participant, or his Covered Dependent, is eligible for Medical Benefits under this Article XII and also eligible for medical benefits under another group medical insurance plan sponsored and maintained by an Employer Company for active employees and their covered dependents (for example, the UPS Insurance Plan) (“Alternate Plan”), then no Medical Benefits under this Article XII shall be paid. Payment of Medical Benefit under this Article XII shall commence on the day following the day eligibility for benefits under the Alternate Plan ceases.
12
Section 12.10 Participant Contributions.
| (a) | The Committee may, from time to time, require Retired Participants and Covered Dependents to pay a portion of the cost of Medical Benefits as an annual contribution (a “Participant Contribution”), and shall in such event establish objective procedures for determining the amount and payment of Participant Contributions. |
| (b) | Effective for individuals who first become Retired Participants on or after January 1, 1993, and their Covered Dependents, an annual Participant Contribution shall be required in an amount equal to the excess of (i) over (ii) where: |
| (i) | is the projected per-capita cost of providing Medical Benefits for Retired Participants and/or Covered Dependents, or specified classes thereof, for the Plan Year, as determined by the Committee in accordance with such reasonable nondiscriminatory procedures as it shall adopt from time to time; and |
| (ii) | is the Retired Participant’s Defined Dollar Benefit (“DDB”) balance, as described in Section 12.10(c) or (d) below. |
| (c) | Subject to the rules of this Section 12.10(c), a Retired Participant will earn a DDB amount for each Year of Service with an Employer Company which will be applied to purchase Medical Benefits before the Retired Participant or his Covered Dependents become eligible for Medicare (“Pre-Medicare Eligible Coverage”) and after the Retired Participant or his Covered Dependents become eligible for Medicare (“Medicare Eligible Coverage”). The DDB amount earned for each Year of Service with an Employer Company will be accumulated over the period that the Retired Participant is employed with an Employer Company as a DDB balance (the “Pre-Medicare Eligible Coverage DDB Balance” and “Medicare Eligible Coverage DDB Balance,” collectively, the “DDB Balance”). |
| (d) | A Retired Participant’s DDB amount for any Year of Service after December 31, 2000 with an Employer Company will be equal to the DDB amount for the Employer Company for which the Retired Participant performed service during that Plan Year as set forth in Appendix F. If a Retired Participant performs service under more than one schedule in any Plan Year, the Retired Participant shall receive credit for his Year of Service, if any, completed in that Plan Year under the schedule with the highest DDB amount under which he has at least one Hour of Service. The DDB amount for each Year of Service with an Employer Company while it is an Employer Company completed prior January 1, 2001 shall be equal to $250 for Pre-Medicare Eligible Coverage and $42 for Medicare Eligible Coverage. However, except as provided in Appendix F, no DDB amount shall be earned for Years of Service with an Employer Company that first becomes an Employer Company on or after January 1, 2001 |
13
| completed before that Employer Company first began to offer Medical Benefits under this Plan. Except as provided Section 12.10(g)(ii), in no event shall the Pre-Medicare Eligible Coverage DDB Balance exceed $7500 or the Medicare Eligible Coverage DDB Balance exceed $1260. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Grandfathered Retired Participant’s DDB amount for any Year of Service (up to a maximum of $7,500) with an Employer Company shall never be less than $250 for Pre-Medicare Eligible Coverage and $42 for Medicare Eligible Coverage. |
| (e) | The Retired Participant and his Spouse or Domestic Partner each may apply the DDB Balance to purchase Medical Benefits. A bookkeeping account, the Retiree Reimbursement Account (“RRA), will be established for each of the Retired Participant and his Spouse or Domestic Partner, if any, for each Plan Year in which a Retired Participant and his Spouse or Domestic Partner is eligible for Continuation Coverage The RRA will be credited with the Retired Participant’s Pre-Medicare Eligible Coverage DDB amount or Medicare Eligible DDB amount. If the Retired Participant has Covered Dependents who are children, they will be treated as a unit with the younger of the Retired Participant and his Spouse. If the Retired Participant does not have a Spouse or Domestic Partner, the Covered Dependents who are children will be treated as a separate unit and the Retired Participant and his Covered Dependent unit each may have a RRA and apply the DDB Balance to purchase Pre-Medicare Eligible Coverage or Medicare Eligible Coverage. Any unused DDB Balance in the RRA may not be carried forward from one Plan Year to a future Plan Year. |
| (f) | The Pre-Medicare Eligible Coverage DDB Balance is applied to the Participant Contribution for each Plan Year (or portion thereof) prior to the calendar month in which the Retired Participant or his Spouse or Domestic Partner, as applicable, becomes eligible for Medicare. The Medicare Eligible Coverage DDB Balance is applied to the Participant Contribution for each Plan Year (or portion thereof) from the first day of the calendar month in which the Retired Participant or his Spouse or Domestic Partner, as applicable, becomes eligible for Medicare. The DDB Balance of a Covered Dependent who is not a Spouse or Domestic Partner will be adjusted to the Medicare Eligible Coverage DDB Balance as of the first day of the calendar month in which the younger parent first becomes eligible for Medicare or if there is no Spouse or Domestic Partner, as of the first day of the calendar month in which the Retired Participant first becomes eligible for Medicare. |
| (g) | The DDB Balance credited to a Retired Participant is determined as follows: |
| (i) | For a Retired Participant who did not complete at least one Year of Service with an Employer Company prior to 1993, the DDB Balance is the sum of the DDB amounts for each of the Retired Participant’s Years of Service with an Employer Company as determined under Section 12.10(d). |

| (ii) | For each Grandfathered Retired Participant who completed at least one Year of Service with an Employer Company prior to 1993, the DDB Balance is calculated as follows: |

| (B) | Two times the DDB amount for each of his Years of Service with an Employer Company completed prior to January 1, 1993 (up to a maximum of $15,000 for Pre-Medicare Eligible Coverage and $2520 for Medicare Eligible Coverage). |
| (iii) | As a minimum, each Grandfathered Retired Participant described in Section 12.10(g)(ii) shall be credited with a minimum DDB Balance in accordance with the following table: |
