ARTICLE 4

SUPPLEMENTAL BENEFITS

4.1 Amount of Supplemental Benefits.

(a) Supplemental Retirement Benefits. Each Participant shall become entitled to Supplemental Retirement Benefits for a Plan Year equal to the difference, if any, between the actual contribution by the Employer to a Qualified Retirement Account on behalf of the Participant for such Plan Year and the amount of the contribution which would otherwise have been made by the Employer on behalf of such Participant for such Plan Year but for the compensation limitation of Section 401(a)(17) of the Code and the annual additions limitations imposed by Section 415 of the Code, and effective January 1, 2008 with respect to limitations imposed by applicable sections of the Puerto Rico Internal Revenue Code.

(b) OTRP Rollover Benefits. Amounts that have been transferred to the Plan in respect of a Participant’s accrued benefit under the Humana Officers’ Target Retirement Plan shall be allocated to the Participant’s OTRP Rollover Account as of November 1, 2007.

 

5


(c) Supplemental Pretax Savings Benefits. Each Participant shall become entitled to Supplemental Pretax Savings Benefits for a Plan Year equal to the difference, if any, between the actual Employer matching contribution to a Qualified Pretax Savings Account made on behalf of the Participant for such Plan Year and the amount the Employer matching contribution would otherwise have been on behalf of such Participant for such Plan Year but for the legal limitations on the Participant’s contributions and the Employer’s contributions, and effective January 1, 2008 with respect to limitations imposed by applicable section of the Puerto Rico Internal Revenue Code; provided, however, that for Plan Years beginning before 2008, Participants shall be entitled to benefits under this section only if such difference is equal to or greater than eight hundred dollars ($800.00) in such Plan Year.

4.2 Accrual of Supplemental Benefits. The Supplemental Retirement Benefit and the Supplemental Pretax Savings Benefit shall be deemed to accrue to the Participant’s Supplemental Retirement Account and Supplemental Pretax Savings Account no later than the date on which the annual retirement contribution is made to the applicable Qualified Plan. No benefit will accrue with respect to any Plan Year if the Participant ceases to be an active employee before the end of such Plan Year, unless cessation of employment is due to death, Retirement, disability or a Change in Control, in which case the Participant will be entitled to benefits prorated to the date on which the Participant ceases to be an active employee.

4.3 Investment Options.

(a) Accruals for Plan Years Prior to and Including 2006 . With respect to accruals made to a Participant’s Supplemental Retirement Account and Supplemental Pretax Savings Account for plan years prior to and including 2006, accruals were allocated among the Investment Options in accordance with the allocation of a Participant’s Retirement and Savings Plan account. Such allocations were effected at such times and with such exceptions as were established by the Administrator.

(b) Accruals for Plan Years After 2006 . Each Participant shall elect the Investment Options in which accruals to the Participant’s Supplemental Retirement Account and Supplemental Pretax Savings Account shall be deemed to be allocated. A Participant’s accruals may be allocated in one percent increments among one or more of the Investment Options. If the Participant allocates less than 100% of his or her accruals pursuant to this Section 4.3(b), unallocated accruals shall be deemed to be allocated to the default investment option established by the Plan Administrator, or if no such default has been established by the Plan Administrator, to the default investment option established under the Retirement and Savings Plan. A Participant may change the allocation of accruals to his or her Supplemental Retirement Account and Supplemental Pretax Savings Account at any time in such manner as the Plan Administrator may prescribe.

(c) OTRP Rollover . Amounts allocated to a Participant’s OTRP Account shall initially be deemed to be invested in the applicable age appropriate target retirement fund Investment Option. Subsequently, a Participant may reallocate the balance in his or her OTRP Rollover Account pursuant to Section 4.4.

 

6


4.4 Reallocation Among Investment Options. Each Participant may reallocate the balances in his or her Accounts among the Investment Options in one percent increments. Effective November 1, 2007, changing Investment Options shall be permitted on a daily basis and shall be effected in such manner as the Plan Administrator may prescribe from time to time, which may include an online alternative.

4.5 Adjustments to Account Balances. The balances in Participants’ Accounts shall be adjusted for gains (or losses) as if such amounts were actually invested in the Investment Options selected by the Participants. Upon a Participant’s Separation from Service or cessation of active participation in this Plan for any reason, the balances in the Participant’s Accounts will continue to be allocated among the Investment Options subject to reallocation pursuant to Section 4.4.

ARTICLE 5

DISTRIBUTION OF BENEFITS

5.1 Eligibility for Distribution of Supplemental Benefits. Except as otherwise provided in Article 5, the payment of the Participant’s Supplemental Benefits shall commence no later than ninety (90) days following the Participant’s Separation from Service (the “ Payment Commencement Date ”).

All payments shall be made in cash.

5.2 Form of Payment. If a Participant does not elect an alternative form of distribution in accordance with Section 5.3, the Participant’s distribution will be made in the form of a lump sum distribution.

5.3 Initial Election of Form of Distribution . Prior to the later of December 31, 2008 and the date that is thirty (30) days after a Participant’s Participation Date, a Participant may elect one of the following alternative forms of distribution for amounts other than the Initial Year Contribution:

(a) Periodic installments (either monthly, quarterly or annually) for a period not to exceed 20 years, to the extent permitted under Section 409A; provided, however, that this form of payment will only be available if the Participant’s balance in the account from which the periodic payments would be made exceeds $100,000, or such lesser amount, if any, permitted under Section 409A. In the event that the benefit payments are in the form of installments, the Participant’s Accounts shall be deemed to be invested in the Stable Value Fund or a fund similar to the Stable Value Fund then available under the Retirement and Savings Plan; or
