of not less than six (6) months, where such impairment causes the
Participant to be unable to perform the duties of his or her
position of employment or any substantially similar position of

Section 1.02.
Construction and Applicable Law.
(a)
Wherever any words
are used in the masculine, they shall be construed as though they
were used in the feminine in all cases where they would so apply;
and wherever any words are use in the singular or the plural, they
shall be construed as though they were used in the plural or the
singular, as the case may be, in all cases where they would so
apply. Titles of articles and sections are for general
information only, and the Plan is not to be construed by reference
to such items.
(b)
This Plan is
intended to be a plan of deferred compensation maintained for a
select group of management or highly compensated employees as that
term is used in ERISA, and shall be interpreted so as to comply
with the applicable requirements thereof. In all other
respects, the Plan is to be construed and its validity determined
according to the laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to
the principle of conflict of laws, to the extent such laws are not
preempted by federal law. Any action for benefits under
the Plan or to enforce the terms of the Plan shall be heard in the
State of Illinois by the court with jurisdiction over the
claim. In case any provision of the Plan is held illegal
or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity will not
affect the remaining parts of the Plan, but the Plan shall, to the
extent possible, be construed and enforced as if the illegal or
invalid provision had never been inserted.
ARTICLE
II. PAYMENT ELECTIONS
Section 2.01.
General Rules.
(a)
Participant
Payment Elections . A
Participant’s vested benefits are distributed based upon the
Participant’s payment election (or deemed payment
election).
(b)
Coordinated
Distribution of Pension Restoration Benefit, Supplemental
Retirement Benefit and Certain Deferred Compensation
Benefits . With respect to any
Participant who has been designated for participation in both the
Pension Restoration Benefit and the Supplemental Retirement Benefit
components of the Plan, the Participant makes a single benefit
payment election (or deemed election) that governs the form and
time of distribution of (1) the Pension Restoration Benefit, (2)
the Supplemental Retirement Benefit, and (3) the portion of the
Participant’s Applicable Account Balance that is attributable
to Special Defined Contribution Credits. The Participant
is not able to make separate elections with respect to each of
these benefits.
Section 2.02.
Participant Payment Election.
(a)
Payment Election
as to Form of Payment . Each Participant
who became a Participant prior to January 1, 2009 and whose
participation is limited to the Pension Restoration Benefit
Component of the Plan shall make a payment election whether to
receive his or her vested Pension Restoration Benefit either as (i)
a single sum cash payment, or (ii) an annuity
distribution. Each Participant who became a Participant
prior to January 1, 2009 and who participates in both the Pension
Restoration Benefit and the Supplemental Retirement Benefit
components of the Plan shall make a single payment election whether
to receive his or her vested benefits either as (i) a single sum
cash payment, (ii) a one hundred eighty (180) month period certain
installment payment, or (ii) an annuity
distribution. The Participant’s single payment
election will govern the distribution of the Participant’s
vested Pension Restoration Benefit, the Participant’s vested
Supplemental Retirement Benefit, and if the Participant has
received Special Defined Contribution Credits, the portion of the
Participant’s vested Applicable Account Balance that is
attributable to Special Defined Contribution Credits. A
Participant who becomes a
Participant after December 31,
2008 shall be deemed to have elected a single sum distribution, and
such a Participant may not otherwise make a payment
election.
(b)
Annuity
Distribution . A Participant who
has elected (or is deemed to have elected) the annuity payment
option is not required to elect the specific form of annuity at the
time of making the payment election, so long as the available forms
of annuity distribution are actuarially equivalent for purposes of
Code Section 409A. If the available forms of annuity
distribution are actuarially equivalent for purposes of Code
Section 409A, the Participant may choose the specific form of
monthly annuity at any time prior to the Calculation Date, in
accordance with rules prescribed by the
Committee. Additional rules regarding annuity benefit
distribution are set forth in Sections 3.05 and 4.06.
(c)
Date of Payment
Election . In the case of an
Employee who becomes a Participant prior to January 1, 2009, the
payment election must be made on or before December 31,
2008. The election on file (or deemed to be on file) for
such Participant at December 31, 2008 will be the
Participant’s payment election. All payment
elections must be made in such form and in accordance with such
rules prescribed by the Committee or its delegate.
(d)
Default Payment
Election . If a Participant
fails to make such a payment election within the prescribed period,
the Participant will be deemed to have elected to receive a single
sum distribution; provided that in the case of a
Participant who participates in both the Pension Restoration
Benefit and the Supplemental Retirement Benefit components of the
Plan, the Participant’s benefit election on file at December
31, 2008, even if originally made only with respect to the Pension
Restoration Benefit, shall be deemed to be the Participant’s
payment election both with respect to the Pension Restoration
Benefit and the Supplemental Retirement Benefit (and if the
Participant has received Special Defined Contribution Credits, the
portion of the Participant’s vested Applicable Account
Balance that is attributable to Special Defined Contribution
Credits).
(e)
Irrevocability of
Payment Election . A
Participant’s payment election (or deemed payment election)
is irrevocable.
ARTICLE
III. PENSION RESTORATION BENEFIT
Section 3.01.
Eligibility.
An Employee is eligible for the
Pension Restoration Benefit if:
(a)
The Committee has
designated the Employee for participation in the Pension
Restoration Benefit component of the Plan and the Employee, in
accordance with Section 1.01(o), has become a Participant in the
Pension Restoration Benefit component of the Plan; and
(b)
The Participant is
covered under and has a vested entitlement to a retirement benefit
from the Retirement Plan.
Section 3.02.
Pension Restoration Benefit Formula.
The Pension Restoration Benefit
accrued by an eligible Participant is determined as of the
Calculation Date and, when expressed in the form of a life annuity
without survivor benefits commencing with a payment for the month
in which occurs the Calculation Date, is equal to the difference
between (a) and (b) below:
(a)
The monthly
retirement benefit that would be payable to the Participant under
the Retirement Plan if the benefit were determined by applying all
of the terms and conditions of the Retirement Plan, except for the
following modifications or assumptions:
(1)
The benefit is paid
in the form of a life annuity without survivor benefits, regardless
of the form of benefit actually elected by the Participant under
the Retirement Plan;
(2)
The benefit is paid
commencing with a payment for the month in which occurs the
Calculation Date, regardless of the Participant’s actual date
of benefit commencement under the Retirement Plan and regardless of
the Payment Date applicable to the Participant under this
Plan;
(3)
The benefit is
calculated as if base salary and annual bonus (but not long-term
bonus) amounts deferred by the Participant under the Integrys
Energy Group, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan had been paid to the
Participant as current compensation in the year of the
deferral;
(4)
The benefit is
calculated as if the compensation limitation of Section 401(a)(17)
of the Code and the maximum benefit limitation of Section 415 of
the Code did not apply.
(b)
The monthly
retirement benefit that would be payable to the Participant under
the Retirement Plan if the benefit were determined in accordance
with the modifications or assumptions described in Section
3.02(a)(1) and (2) above, but otherwise applying all of the terms
and conditions of the Retirement Plan. For this purpose,
the Participant’s benefit under the Retirement Plan shall be
determined by attributing to the Participant any portion of the
Retirement Plan benefit that is assigned to an alternate payee
pursuant to a domestic relations order.
Section 3.03.
Distribution of Single Sum Benefits.
If the Participant’s
Pension Restoration Benefit is payable in a single sum,
distribution will be made in accordance with the following
rules:
(a)
Time of
Payment . The single sum
payment will be calculated as of the Calculation Date but paid on
the Payment Date.
(b)
Amount of Single
Sum Benefit . The single sum cash
payment shall be equal to the sum of (1) an amount that, as of the
Calculation Date, is Actuarially Equivalent to the
Participant’s Pension Restoration Benefit as calculated under
Section 3.02 above. For a married Participant, the
single sum benefit does not include the value of any surviving
Spouse benefit that would be paid if the Participant had instead
elected an annuity benefit, i.e., the single sum benefit is
Actuarially Equivalent to the single life annuity with no survivor
benefits. The payment to be made on the Payment Date
will equal the sum of (1) the single sum amount determined, as of
the Calculation Date, in accordance with the preceding sentence,
and (2)
interest on the single sum
amount from the last day of the month in which occurs the
Calculation Date through the Payment Date. Interest
under clause (2) above, for the period through the last day of the
month in which occurs the six (6) month anniversary of the
Participant’s Separation from Service, shall be determined at
the 417(e)(3) Rate (first segment rate) in effect under the
Retirement Plan for the calendar year in which occurs the
Calculation Date.
(c)
Death Prior to
Payment Date . This Section 3.03
applies only if the Participant is alive on the Payment
Date. If the Participant dies prior to the Payment Date,
the benefits (if any) payable following the Participant’s
death shall be determined in accordance with Section
3.06.
Section 3.04.
Distribution of 180 Month Period Certain Installment
Benefit.
If the Participant’s
Pension Restoration Benefit is payable as a one hundred eighty
(180) month period certain installment benefit (in accordance with
Section 2.02, only certain Participants are eligible for this form
of payment), distribution will be made in accordance with the
following rules:
(a)
Time of
Payment . The one hundred
eighty (180) month period certain installment benefit will be
calculated as of the Calculation Date but paid beginning on the
Payment Date.
(b)
Amount of Each
Installment . The amount of each
monthly installment shall be determined by converting the
Participant’s Pension Restoration Benefit as calculated under
Section 3.02 above into an Actuarially Equivalent one hundred
eighty (180) month period certain installment
benefit. For a married Participant, the one hundred
eighty (180) month period certain installment benefit does not
include the value of any surviving Spouse benefit that would be
paid if the Participant had instead elected an annuity benefit,
i.e., the one hundred eighty (180) month period certain installment
benefit is Actuarially Equivalent to the single life annuity with
no survivor benefits. The payment made on the Payment
Date will include (1) the Regular Monthly Payment for the month in
which occurs the Payment Date, (2) the Retroactive Benefit Payment,
and (3) interest on each monthly installment that constitutes part
of the Retroactive Benefit Payment for the period from the date on
which such installment would have been paid had monthly payments
commenced with a payment on the last day of the month that includes
the Calculation Date through the Payment Date. Following
the payment on the Payment Date,
payments to the eligible
Participant in an amount equal to the Regular Monthly Payment shall
continue until a total of one hundred eighty (180) monthly payments
have been made; provided that for purposes of determining whether a
total of one hundred eighty (180) monthly payments have been made,
the payment made on the Payment Date will be treated as consisting
of seven (7) payments. Interest under clause (3) above,
for the period through the last day of the month in which occurs
the six (6) month anniversary of the Participant’s Separation
from Service, shall be determined at the 417(e)(3)
Rate (first segment rate) in effect under the
Retirement Plan for the calendar year in which occurs the
Calculation Date. For example, if the Participant incurs
a Separation from Service on December 31, 2009, the Calculation
Date is January 1, 2010, the first payment would have been made on
January 31, 2010 if payment had commenced with a payment for the
month that includes the Calculation Date, and the Payment Date will
be July 31, 2010. Interest on each monthly installment
that constitutes part of the Retroactive Benefit Payment for the
period from the date on which the monthly installment otherwise
would have been paid through the Payment Date will be credited at
the 2010 417(e)(3) Rate (first segment rate) in effect under the
Retirement Plan.
(c)
Death Prior to
Payment Date . This Section 3.04
applies only if the Participant is alive on the Payment
Date. If the Participant dies prior to the Payment Date,
the benefits (if any) payable following the Participant’s
death shall be determined in accordance with Section
3.06.
Section 3.05.
Distribution of Annuity Benefits.
If the Participant’s
Pension Restoration Benefit is payable as an annuity, distribution
will be made in accordance with the following rules:
(a)
Normal Form of
Distribution . If the Participant
has elected (or is deemed to have elected) an annuity form of
distribution, then payment for an unmarried Participant will be
made in accordance with subsection (a)(1) below, and payment for a
married Participant, unless the Participant has validly elected
payment in an alternate form of annuity payment in accordance with
subsection (b) below, will be made in accordance with subsection
(a)(2) below:
(1)
Unmarried
Participant . If the Participant
is not married on the Calculation Date, distribution will be in the
form of
a monthly single life annuity in
the amount determined under Section 3.02. Monthly
payments will commence on the Payment Date applicable to the
Participant and will continue until and including a payment for the
month in which occurs the Participant’s death.
(2)
Married
Participant . If the Participant
is married on the Calculation Date, distribution will be in the
form of a joint and fifty percent (50%) survivor annuity with the
Participant’s Spouse as of the Calculation Date as the sole
contingent annuitant. Monthly payments under the joint
and fifty percent (50%) survivor annuity will commence on the
Payment Date applicable to the Participant and will continue until
and including a payment for the month in which occurs the
Participant’s death. If the Participant
predeceases the Spouse to whom he or she was married on the
Calculation Date, fifty percent (50%) of the Regular Monthly
Payment Amount applicable to the Participant during his or her
lifetime shall continue during the remaining lifetime of such
Spouse. The Regular Monthly Payment Amount payable to
the Participant during his or her lifetime will be the amount
determined under Section 3.02 reduced, in order to reflect the
cost of the survivor benefit, in the same manner as the benefit
would be reduced under Part A or Part C of the Retirement Plan
(whichever is applicable to the Participant) if the benefit were
being paid under the Retirement Plan.
(b)
Alternate Forms
of Annuity Distribution . In lieu of the
normal form of payment applicable under subsection (a) above, a
Participant who participates in Part A of the Retirement Plan, who
is married on the Calculation Date, and who has in effect an
election of the annuity payment method, may elect, in accordance
with such conditions as may be established by the Committee, to
receive payment in an alternate form of annuity that would be
available to the Participant under Part A of the Retirement Plan if
the Pension Restoration Benefit were being
paid under Part A of the
Retirement Plan rather than under this Plan. In lieu of
the normal form of payment applicable under subsection (a) above, a
Participant who participates in Part C of the Retirement Plan and
who has in effect an election of the annuity payment method, may
elect, in accordance with such conditions as may be established by
the Committee, to receive payment in an alternate form of annuity
that would be available to the Participant under Part C of the
Retirement Plan if the Pension Restoration Benefit were being paid
under Part C of the Retirement Plan rather than under this Plan.
The alternate form of annuity distribution shall be calculated by
converting the monthly benefit amount determined under Section 3.02
into a payment in such alternate annuity form, with the conversion
accomplished by using the adjustment factors that would be used
under the Retirement Plan for purposes of converting from the
normal form of benefit to an alternate form of annuity if the
Pension Restoration Benefit were being paid under Part A of Part C
of the Retirement Plan, whichever is applicable to the
Participant. If the Participant elects payment in an
alternate form of annuity that provides surviving Spouse benefits
following the Participant’s death, the surviving Spouse
benefits will be paid to the Spouse to whom the Participant is
married on the Calculation Date. The Participant’s
election of an alternate form of annuity must be made prior to the
Calculation Date, and becomes irrevocable on the Calculation Date;
provided that if the Participant is covered under Part A of the
Retirement Plan and is not married on the Calculation Date, any
prior election of payment in an alternate form of annuity shall be
null and void.
(c)
Regular Monthly
Payments and the Retroactive Benefit Payment
. The payment made
on the Payment Date will include (1) the Regular Monthly Payment
for the month in which occurs the Payment Date, (2) the Retroactive
Benefit Payment, and (3) interest on each monthly installment that
constitutes part of the Retroactive Benefit Payment for the period
from the date on which such installment would have been paid had
monthly payments commenced with a payment on the last day of the
month that includes the Calculation Date through the Payment
Date. Each subsequent monthly payment to the Participant
will be an amount equal to the Regular Monthly
Payment. Interest under clause (3) above, for the period
through the last day of the month in which occurs the six (6) month
anniversary of the Participant’s Separation from Service,
shall be determined at the 417(e)(3) Rate (first segment rate) in
effect under the Retirement Plan for the calendar year in which
occurs the Calculation Date.
(d)
Death Prior to
Payment Date . This Section 3.05
applies only if the Participant is alive on the Payment
Date. If the Participant dies prior to the Payment Date,
the benefits (if any) payable following the Participant’s
death shall be determined in accordance with Section
3.06.
Section 3.06. Death
Benefits.
The form and time of benefit
distribution is irrevocably established at the earlier to occur of
(1) the Payment Date (which, in accordance with Section 1.409A-3(b)
of the Income Tax Regulations, is an objectively determinable and
nondiscretionary date that is based upon the Participant’s
Separation from Service and that is fixed at the time of the
Participant’s Separation from Service), and (2) the date of
the Participant’s death.
(a)
Death Prior to
Payment Date . If a Participant
who is eligible for a Pension Restoration Benefit dies prior to the
Payment Date (including a Participant who is eligible for a Pension
Restoration Benefit who dies during employment), the
Participant’s Beneficiary will receive a single sum payment
equal to the single sum payment to which the Participant would have
been entitled to as of the Calculation Date if the Participant had
in effect a single sum payment election under Article II
(regardless of the election actually made by the Participant),
together with interest, at the 417(e)(3) Rate (first segment rate)
from the last day of the month in which occurs the Calculation Date
through the last day of the month preceding the month in which

Participant’s benefit is being distributed as a one hundred
eighty (180) month period certain installment benefit and the
Participant dies on or after the Payment Date, i.e., on or after
the date on which installment distributions to the Participant have
begun, but prior to the date on which one hundred eighty (180)
payments have been made, monthly installment distributions to the
Beneficiary (at the same time as payments to the Participant would
have been made) shall continue until the total number of
monthly
installments paid to the
Beneficiary, when aggregated with the number of monthly
installments paid to the Participant prior to his or her death,
equals one hundred eighty (180).
(2)
Death After
Commencement of Annuity Payments . If the
Participant’s benefit is being distributed as an annuity and
the Participant dies on or after the Payment Date, i.e., on or
after the date on which payment of Plan benefits has actually
begun, the only benefits payable following the Participant’s
death shall be those (if any) payable under the form of annuity
distribution in which the Participant’s benefit was being
paid. Thus, for example, if the Participant was
receiving payments in the form of a single life annuity, no further
benefits are payable following the Participant’s
death. Similarly, if the Participant was receiving
benefits in the form of a joint and fifty percent (50%)
