or her entire Account balance. There is no minimum amount for a partial lump sum distribution and each partial lump sum distribution is subject to a service fee established by the Committee.

(b) Installment Options

(1) Prior to May 1, 2010. A Participant who has a Severance from Employment shall be eligible to receive all or a portion of his or her Account in the form of a monthly installment distribution only if (1) he or she has at the time monthly installment payments commence at least twenty-thousand dollars ($20,000) credited to his or her Account, excluding any amounts that are invested in a Self-Managed Account or the UPS Stock Fund and (2) has an account established at a financial institution that can accept wire transfers of monthly installment payments.

Each monthly installment payment shall be equal to the balance credited to the Participant’s Account as of the last business day of the month prior to the date of payment divided by the number of then remaining installment payments. Only the spouse of a Participant may, as Beneficiary, elect to continue to receive monthly installment payments following the death of the Participant; any other Beneficiary shall receive the balance of the Participant’s Account in a lump sum payment in accordance with Section 9.6(d).

Notwithstanding any other provision, (i) if the amount of a monthly installment becomes less than fifty dollars ($50), installment payments will cease immediately and no further payments will be made from the Account until the Participant (or a deceased Participant’s spouse) requests a lump sum distribution and (ii) any balance remaining in a Participant’s Account upon his or her seventieth (70th) birthday shall be paid out in a cash lump sum in accordance with Section 9.3.

A Participant (or spouse of a deceased Participant) who begins receiving installment payments may elect to terminate such installments at any time, and make a new election of monthly installments at any time, provided the requirements of this Section 9.5(b) are independently satisfied with respect to each such new election.

Prior to January 1, 2007, monthly installment distributions were available if, in addition to (1) and (2) above, the Participant had a Severance from Employment on or after attaining age fifty-five (55) and completing at least ten (10) years of service (as described in Section 1.39), from his or her Employment Commencement Date or most recent Reemployment Commencement Date with such employer.

(2) On and after May 1, 2010. A Participant who has a Severance from Employment (whether prior to, on or after May 1, 2010) shall be eligible to receive all or if he or she elects a partial lump sum distribution,

 

7


the remaining portion of his or her Account in a series of monthly installment payments only if he or she has an account at a financial institution that can accept monthly wire transfers. A Participant may select in accordance with procedures prescribed by the Committee or its designee either (i) the amount of each monthly installment payment or (ii) the number of monthly installment payments, that he or she would like to receive; provided, however, a Participant must select a minimum of twelve (12) monthly installment payments and the initial monthly installment payment must be at least fifty dollars ($50).

For a Participant whose monthly installment payments began prior to May 1, 2010, monthly installment payments will not cease if the installment payment becomes less than fifty dollars ($50) and a Participant may elect not to have his or her account paid out in a cash lump sum upon his or her seventieth (70th) birthday.

Monthly installment payments shall cease as soon as administratively possible following the death of the Participant, unless the surviving spouse who is the Beneficiary elects otherwise pursuant to Section 9.6(d).

A Participant, including a Participant who made an installment payment election prior to May 1, 2010, may elect to terminate his or her installment election at any time. Such Participant may elect another form of distribution under this Section 9.5 at any time, provided the requirements of this Section 9.5 are independently satisfied with respect to each such new election.

(3) Source of Installments. Notwithstanding anything contrary in this § 9.5, installment payments shall not be made from the Self-Managed Account or the UPS Stock Fund.

(c) Source of Distribution. Distributions shall be made in accordance with procedures established by the Committee and, unless otherwise requested by the Participant, shall be made first from that portion of his or her Account other than the Self-Managed Account or the UPS Stock Fund, second from the UPS Stock Fund and third from the Self-Managed Account.

12. Section 9.6(d), Payment to Beneficiary, is hereby amended, effective May 1, 2010, to read as follows:

(d) Payment to Beneficiary. Subject to 9.5(b), a Beneficiary’s interest in the Account of a deceased Participant will be paid to him or her in a single lump sum as soon as practicable after the Committee determines that the person has an interest in the Account. Distribution will be completed by December 31 of the calendar year containing the fifth anniversary of the date of the Participant’s death. Notwithstanding the forgoing, if a Participant had elected to receive monthly installment payments, his or her surviving spouse who is his or her Beneficiary may elect to continue monthly installment payments after the Participant’s death.
