QUAKER CHEMICAL CORPORATION

1995 NAPLES SUPPLEMENTAL RETIREMENT INCOME PROGRAM AND AGREEMENT

(As Amended and Restated Effective May 7, 2008)

 

1.

Background

Quaker Chemical Corporation (the “Company”) and Ronald J. Naples (“Naples”) entered into the Quaker Chemical Corporation 1995 Naples Supplemental Retirement Income Program and Agreement (the “Program”), effective as of October 2, 1995, to provide Naples with an improved retirement program that enhances the Company’s ability to retain the services of Naples as well as to reflect Naples’ achievements and valued contributions to the Company. This amendment and restatement of the Program is effective May 7, 2008 and reflects (i) Section 6(b) of the Employment, Transition and Consulting Agreement (effective May 7, 2008) between Naples and the Company (the “Agreement”), and (ii) changes required under §409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

 

2.

Administration

The Program is a non-qualified and unfunded plan of deferred compensation for Federal income tax purposes and an unfunded program maintained for a select member of management who is also a highly compensated employee, for purposes of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. The Program shall be administered by the Company’s Compensation/Management Development Committee (the “Committee”), whose determinations shall be final, binding and conclusive. As the Program contemplates payment of benefits on a post-retirement basis, the Company will continue to maintain on the Company’s books and records an accrual of the benefits earned pursuant to the Program according to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.

 

3.

Basic Program Concept

The benefits payable under the Program are based on a formula which will provide the maximum supplemental retirement income benefit to Naples if he shall (a) remain employed by the Company for 15 or more years, or (b) incur a Separation from Service on account of Retirement or a Severance Event (as such terms are defined in the Agreement). If Naples’ employment with the Company is less than 15 years, the retirement income benefit under the Program will be reduced by 2.667% for each full and fractional year less than 15 years of employment with the Company; provided, however, that such reduction shall not apply if Naples incurs a Separation from Service on account of Retirement or a Severance Event (as such terms are defined in the Agreement). For purposes of the Program (other than for purposes of determining whether Naples has had a Separation from Service), employment with any corporation, partnership or other entity of which 40% or more of the voting power is held, directly or indirectly, by the Company, shall be deemed employment with the Company. Naples’ rights to benefits under the Program shall continue to be fully vested and nonforfeitable.

Benefit Calculation

The Supplemental Retirement Income Benefit payable under the Program in the form of a Single Life Annuity (as defined in Section 5), shall be determined as follows:

First Calculation

Salary Plus Bonus (hereinafter defined)

 

 

 

 

less

  

Actual Social Security taxes paid on Salary Plus Bonus.

 

 

less

  

Applicable state income tax on Salary Plus Bonus at the rate in effect on Separation from Service.

 

 

less

  

Federal income tax on Salary Plus Bonus, calculated at the tax rate for a joint return with no dependents in effect on Separation from Service.

Computation of the above will generate the “Net Pre-Retirement Income.”

Second Calculation

Pension (hereinafter defined)

 

 

 

 

plus

  

Social Security benefit payable to Naples at age 65, assuming that he is married, that he and his spouse are the same age, and that Naples continues employment to age 65 at the level of compensation in effect at termination of Naples’ employment with the Company.

Computation of the above will generate the “Net After-Retirement Income.”

Third Calculation

The Supplemental Retirement Income Benefit, in the form of a Single Life Annuity, shall be equal to the amount (if any) by which the Net After-Retirement Income is less than 80% of the Net Pre-Retirement Income, reduced by 2.667% for each full and fractional year of employment with the Company less than 15; provided, however, that such reduction shall not apply if Naples incurs a Separation from Service on account of Retirement or a Severance Event (as such terms are defined in the Agreement).

Definitions

For purposes of determining the Supplemental Retirement Income Benefit, the following definitions shall apply:

Salary Plus Bonus means the higher of (a) the final calendar year of base salary prior to Separation from Service, plus the average of the highest three of the last ten years of annual incentive bonuses earned prior to Separation from Service; or (b) the average of the three highest consecutive years of base salary and annual incentive bonuses during the period of Naples’ employment with the Company. For purposes of determining “annual incentive bonuses,” Naples’ March 2001 award of 100,000 restricted shares under the 2001 Global Annual Incentive Plan shall be treated as a bonus payment of $343,200 (20,000 shares at $17.16 per share) in each year beginning with 1997 and ending with 2001, and not as a bonus in the year(s) income
