SPX CORPORATION
SUPPLEMENTAL RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN

 

The SPX Corporation Supplemental Retirement Savings Plan (the “Plan”) was adopted effective January 1, 1990.  The Plan as set forth herein has been amended and restated effective as of May 31, 2008.  The Plan is established and maintained by SPX Corporation in order to allow an eligible Employee to (a) make pre-tax salary reduction contributions, and (b) receive Company matching contributions, in each case, in excess of those permitted by the Company’s tax-qualified 401(k) plan, known as the “SPX Corporation Retirement Savings and Stock Ownership Plan.”

 

The provisions of this Plan are only applicable to Participants who were in the employ of SPX Corporation on or after May 31, 2008 (except as otherwise provided in the Plan).  Participants who retired prior to that date (or the surviving spouses or beneficiaries of such Participants) shall be eligible for benefits, if any, under the terms of the Plan then in effect, or as subsequently amended such that the amended terms apply to such persons.

ARTICLE II

ELIGIBILITY

 

2.1                                  Participation.

 

(a)                                   For Plan Years After 2008 .  Effective as of May 31, 2008, and commencing with the 2009 Plan Year, an Employee shall be eligible to be a Participant hereunder if such Employee (i) is eligible to participate in the Executive Annual Incentive Plan (as determined under the terms of such plan), (ii) is eligible to participate in the Executive Bonus Plan with a target bonus percentage of 30% or more (as determined under the terms of such plan), or (iii) has a positive Account balance under the Plan as of May 31, 2008.  For an Employee that meets such criteria as of May 31, 2008, eligibility to participate in the Plan shall be immediate.  For an Employee that meets such criteria after May 31, 2008, such Employee shall be eligible to participate in the Plan on the 30th day following the date the Employee meets the criteria.

 

For a Participant who ceases to be eligible to participate in the Plan in accordance with Section 2.2, and then subsequently again meets the eligibility criteria described in the first sentence of Section 2.1(a), such Employee’s eligibility to participate in the Plan again shall be as follows:

 

(i)                                     if the Employee is deemed to be “initially eligible” as provided under Code Section 409A, such Employee shall be eligible to participate in the Plan on the 30th day following the date the Employee again meets the eligibility criteria described in the first sentence of Section 2.1(a); and

 

(ii)                                  in all other cases, at the earliest time as permitted under Code Section 409A.

 

(b)                                  For Plan Years Before 2009 .  For Plan Years before 2009, eligibility to participate in the Plan shall be determined according to the provisions and terms then in effect under the Plan (and in accordance with Code Section 409A to the extent applicable).

 

(c)                                   Eligible Employees shall be notified of their ability to participate in the Plan and shall be offered the opportunity to make contributions hereunder, as set forth at Section 3.1 hereof.

 

2.2                                  Reduction in Status; Removal From Participation.  If an Employee ceases to meet the eligibility criteria described in the first sentence of Section 2.1(a), such Employee shall cease to be eligible to participate in the Plan at the end of the applicable Plan Year and the Participant shall make no further contributions to this Plan, nor shall the Company make any further contributions on his behalf.  However, his Deferred Account shall continue to be held for his benefit pursuant to the terms of this Plan, and it shall continue to be credited with earnings, gains and losses as provided under Article IV.

ARTICLE III

CONTRIBUTIONS AND DEFERRAL ACCOUNTS

 

3.1                                  Elections To Contribute.  A Participant may elect to have a percentage of Compensation deferred under this Plan.  Such deferrals shall occur on a per payroll basis.  Such an election with respect to any Plan Year must be made, with respect to amounts paid during such Plan Year, prior to the June 30th of the preceding Plan Year, during the time period prescribed by the Administrator; PROVIDED that a newly-eligible Participant (which shall include an Employee deemed to be “initially eligible” as provided under Code Section 409A) may make an election to defer Compensation to this Plan within not more than 30 days after becoming an eligible Participant, which election shall apply only to Compensation earned after the election is made and effective.  Such elections shall be irrevocable for the applicable Plan Year after the election deadline provided in the preceding sentence.

 

A Participant may separately elect (i) a basic deferral percentage (in 1% increments, up to 50% of Compensation, which includes, without limitation, bonuses except for the bonus (if any) paid under the Executive Bonus Plan and/or Executive Annual Incentive Plan), and (ii) a supplemental bonus deferral percentage (in 1% increments, up to 100%), applicable only to the bonus (if any) paid under the Executive Bonus Plan and/or Executive Annual Incentive Plan.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the applicable deferral percentages permitted under the preceding sentence shall be reduced to the extent required by Code Section 409A with respect to a newly-eligible Participant (which shall include an Employee deemed to be “initially eligible” as provided under Code Section 409A).  Additionally, with respect to a newly-eligible Participant (which shall include an Employee deemed to be “initially eligible” as provided under Code Section 409A) who becomes newly eligible to participate after June 30th of a Plan Year (or who does not make an applicable deferral election by June 30th of such Plan Year), no deferral of the bonus (if any) paid under the Executive Bonus Plan and/or Executive Annual Incentive Plan in the immediate following Plan Year shall be permitted.

 

Having made such an election, the percentage of Compensation a Participant has elected to defer shall be credited by the Company to this Plan for any Plan Year with respect to all Compensation as defined by this Plan (or of a bonus payment (if any) under the Executive Bonus Plan and/or Executive Annual Incentive Plan) and paid during such Plan Year (or portion of the Plan Year for which such election is effective).  However, no contributions are made to this Plan with respect to a Participant until one or more of the applicable limits in the Qualified Savings Plan has been reached.  Such applicable limits under the Qualified Savings Plan are as follows:

 

(a)                                   The limit on compensation under Code Section 401(a)(17);
(b)                                  The limit on deferrals and matching contributions under Code Sections 401(k) and 401(m); and
(c)                                   The limit on annual additions to accounts under Code Section 415.
 

3.2                                  Duration of Election.  A Participant’s election to defer Compensation under this Plan as described at Section 3.1 above shall remain in effect only for the Plan Year (or portion thereof) for which it applies.  Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, a Participant’s deferral election for a Plan Year shall be cancelled upon the Participant having his deferrals under the Qualified Saving Plan suspended due to receiving a hardship distribution under the Qualified Savings Plan.

 

3.3                                  Disposition of Excess Contributions in the Qualified Savings Plan.  In any case in which a Participant’s salary reduction contributions to the Qualified Savings Plan would be returned to the Participant by reason of the operation of Code Sections 401(k), 401(m), or 402(g), such contributions shall not be made available to the Participant, but shall automatically be transferred from the Qualified Savings Plan to the Participant’s Deferred Account under this Plan.  Such contributions shall be allocated to the Participant’s Account in this Plan for the Plan Year in which such contributions are deposited in this Plan.

 

3.4                                  Company Matching Contributions.  For each Plan Year, a Participant’s Account under this Plan shall be credited with a matching contribution equal to a percentage (the same percentage of Compensation as matched by the Company under the Qualified Savings Plan) of his deferrals for such Plan Year, to the extent such deferrals have not received a match on that percentage of Compensation under the Qualified Savings Plan.  The matching contribution to be made under this Plan shall follow any increase or decrease in the match made for the

Qualified Savings Plan, and shall be made only after the maximum match has been made under the Qualified Savings Plan.

 

3.5                                  Vesting of Participant Deferrals.  A Participant shall be fully vested in all allocations made to his Account pursuant to Section 3.1 and in the Company matching contribution credits made to his Account pursuant to Section 3.4.

ARTICLE IV

PARTICIPANTS’ ACCOUNT AND INVESTMENT CREDITS

 

4.1                                  Participants’ Accounts.  A separate Deferred Account shall be established by the Recordkeeper for each Participant which shall accurately reflect his interest in this Plan.  Each Account shall consist of two sub-Accounts, one for the Participant’s deferrals made to this Plan pursuant to Section 3.1, and one for the Company matching contribution credits made pursuant to Section 3.4 (including, for each sub-Account, applicable credited earnings, gains and losses).

 

Each Participant’s Account shall further be sub-divided into six accounts: one account for deferral and matching contribution credit amounts (including applicable credited earnings, gains and losses) attributable to calendar years before 2005 (the “Pre-2005 Account”), four separate accounts for deferral and matching contribution credit amounts (including applicable credited earnings, gains and losses) attributable to each calendar year after 2004 and before 2009 (the “2005-2008 Calendar Year Accounts”), and one account for deferral and matching contribution credit amounts (including applicable credited earnings, gains and losses) attributable to calendar years after 2008 (the “Post-2008 Account”).

 

4.2                                  Deferred Mutual Fund Credits.  The Company shall establish a Deferred Account for each Participant who makes an election to defer Compensation, as provided in Section 3.1.  The balance of a Participant’s Deferred Account is dependent upon the value of the Deferred Mutual Fund Units in the Deferred Account, and is therefore subject to market fluctuations in value until distributed to a Participant.

 

4.3                                  Selection of Deferred Mutual Funds.  Each Participant (and Beneficiary, as provided at Section 5.5) shall be permitted to direct the manner in which credits to his Account shall be treated as invested from among such Deferred Mutual Funds determined by the Compensation Committee from time to time and communicated to Participants.  Each Participant shall choose the percentage of his Account treated as invested in each Deferred Mutual Fund provided that not less than 5% of the Participant’s contributions and Company contributions shall be designated for any one such Deferred Mutual Fund.  To the extent a Participant (or Beneficiary if applicable) does not provide any investment direction, the Company may select a Deferred Mutual Fund for which the Participant (or Beneficiary if applicable) will be deemed to have directed his Account be invested in.

 

4.4                                  Changing Deferred Mutual Funds.  A Participant may elect to change the mix of the Deferred Mutual Fund Units credited to the Participant’s Deferred Account in accordance with the administrative procedures and rules set by the Administrator from time to time.

 

4.5                                  Dividends.  At any time a balance in Deferred Mutual Fund Units is maintained in an Account, there shall be credited to the Account additional Deferred Mutual Fund Units on each Dividend Date.  Such additional number of Deferred Mutual Fund Units shall be determined by reference to the number of mutual fund shares or other securities that would be issued by the mutual fund or the issuer of the other securities with respect to the reinvestment of such dividend.  In the absence of such reinvestment, the number of such additional Deferred Mutual Units shall be determined by (i) multiplying the total number of Deferred Mutual Fund Units (including fractional Deferred Mutual Fund Units) credited to the Account immediately prior to the Dividend Date by the amount of the dividend per share of the Deferred Mutual Fund and (ii) dividing the product by the fair market value per share as of such Dividend Date.  Additional Deferred Mutual Fund Units shall be similarly credited on each Dividend Date on which a balance in Deferred Mutual Fund Units is maintained in the Account.

ARTICLE V

PAYMENT OF ACCOUNT

 

5.1                                  Form of Benefit.

 

(a)                                   At the Participant’s timely election as provided under Section 5.2, a Participant’s Pre-2005 Account and 2005-2008 Calendar Year Accounts (with separate elections for the Pre-2005 Account and each 2005-2008 Calendar Year Account) under this Plan shall be paid in one of the following forms:

 

(i)                                     In a single lump sum payment.

 

(ii)                                  In periodic annual installments payable for a period of up to ten (10) years.  So long as the Participant retains funds in his Account, earnings, gains and losses shall be credited to the Account.

 

(iii)                               In periodic monthly installments, payable for a period of up to ten (10) years.  So long as the Participant retains funds in his Account, earnings, gains, and losses shall be credited to the Account.

 

(b)                                  A Participant who makes no election with respect to the Pre-2005 Account within the time provided in Sections 5.2 and 5.3 shall receive a lump sum payment of the Participant’s Pre-2005 Account, valued and paid on the date of his or her termination, death or retirement.  A Participant who does not make a timely election with respect to a 2005-2008 Calendar Year Account as provided in Sections 5.2 and 5.3 shall receive a lump sum payment of such 2005-2008 Calendar Year Account, valued and paid on or as soon as practicable after the date that is six months after the Participant’s separation from service but not later than 30 days after such date (subject to the last sentence of Section 5.2(b) and Section 5.3A).

 

(c)                                   A Participant’s Post-2008 Account shall be paid in a single lump sum payment.

 

5.2                                  Election of Payment Option.

 

(a)                                   Pre-2005 Account .  With respect to the Pre-2005 Account, a Participant shall select a form of payment at the time that he chooses to make an election to contribute to the Plan pursuant to Section 3.1.  Thereafter, a Participant may change his election with respect to the Pre-2005 Account at any time that is at least one year prior to his retirement, death, disability or other termination of employment from the Company.  Notwithstanding a Participant’s payment election under Section 5.3, payments with respect to the Pre-2005 Account shall not be made until the year following the year of termination to the extent a payment would otherwise be subject to Code Section 162(m).

 

(b)                                  2005-2008 Calendar Year Accounts .  With respect to a 2005-2008 Calendar Year Account, the Participant shall select a form of payment at the time that he chooses to make an election to contribute to the Plan pursuant to Section 3.1.  Thereafter, a Participant may change his form of payment election with respect to a 2005-2008 Calendar Year Account only as provided in Sections 5.3A and 5.3B below.  Notwithstanding a Participant’s payment election under Section 5.3, payments with respect to a 2005-2008 Calendar Year Account shall not be made until the year following the year of termination to the extent a payment would otherwise be subject to Code Section 162(m).

 

(c)                                   Post-2008 Account .  With respect to the Post-2008 Account, no election as to form of payment is permitted under the Plan.  Notwithstanding Section 5.3, payments with respect to a Post-2008 Account
