SUPPLEMENTAL SAVINGS AND RETIREMENT PLAN

FOR KEY SALARIED EMPLOYEES OF

MILLIPORE CORPORATION

(Amended and Restated Effective January 1, 2008)

 


INTRODUCTION

Millipore Corporation established the Supplemental Savings and Retirement Plan for Key Salaried Employees of Millipore Corporation (the “Supplemental Plan”) effective January 1, 1985 for the following purposes:

1. To allow (a) certain key salaried employees designated by the Board of Directors of Millipore Corporation (the “Board”) and (b) certain key salaried employees other than corporate officers holding an office of vice president and designated by the Chief Executive Officer, to receive benefits directly from Millipore Corporation equal to the benefits such employees would be entitled to receive under the terms of the Retirement Plan for Employees of Millipore Corporation (the “Retirement Plan”) and from the Millipore Corporation Employees’ Participation and Savings Plan (the “Savings Plan”) if the benefits payable from the Retirement Plan and the Savings Plan were not limited by the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

2. To provide supplemental deferral and matching contribution opportunities to certain key salaried employees.

The Supplemental Plan is hereby amended and restated effective January 1, 2008. Benefits under the Supplemental Plan that commenced to be paid prior to January 1, 2008 shall be governed by the terms of the Supplemental Plan as in effect at the time payment commenced.

The Supplemental Plan is intended to comply with, and shall be construed so as to provide for deferrals and benefits that are consistent with the requirements of, Section 409A of the Code (together with the Treasury Regulations and other applicable guidance thereunder, “Section 409A”). The Administrative Committee may authorize changes to time and form of payment elections but only to the extent consistent with the transition rules, and during the transition relief period, provided under Section 409A.

 


SECTION 1. SUPPLEMENTAL RETIREMENT PLAN BENEFITS

1.1. A key salaried employee (a) designated by the Board, or (b) other than a corporate officer holding an office of vice president and designated by the Chief Executive Officer, to participate in this Plan (a “Participant”) shall be entitled to a benefit under the provisions of this section if his Retirement Plan benefit as of the benefit commencement date described in Section 1.2 below is less than such benefit would have been if (1) any compensation deferred by the Participant under this Supplemental Plan or under any other nonqualified deferred compensation plan of Millipore Corporation had been included in the Participant’s “Final Average Compensation,” as defined in Section 2.20 of the Retirement Plan, and/or (2) the limits described in Code Sections 401(a) (17) and 415 did not apply.

1.2. Supplemental Retirement Plan Benefits . If a Participant’s benefit from the Retirement Plan is reduced as a result of either or both of the conditions described in Section 1.1, such Participant shall be entitled to a benefit, commencing (except as hereinafter provided) on the first day of the second month following the later of (i) the date the Participant attains age 55 or (ii) the date of his or her Separation from Service, as defined in Section 3.3 below (hereinafter “Supplemental Retirement Plan Benefit Determination Date”) determined by calculating:

(a) First, the benefit that would have been payable to the Participant under the terms of the Retirement Plan if the Participant had elected to commence such benefit on the Supplemental Retirement Plan Benefit Determination Date shall be calculated;

(b) Second, the benefit which would have been payable under the terms of the Retirement Plan if the Participant had elected to commence such benefit on the Supplemental Retirement Plan Benefit Determination Date and if “Final Average Compensation,” as defined in Section 2.20 of the Retirement Plan, included compensation deferred under this Supplemental Plan or any other nonqualified deferred compensation plan of Millipore Corporation and if the limits described in Code Sections 401(a)(17) and 415 did not apply shall be calculated;

(c) Third, the benefit resulting from subtracting the result of step (a) from the result of step (b).

The actuarial equivalent of the result of step (c) shall be payable to the Participant as a single life annuity under this Supplemental Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing Section 1.2(c), Millipore Corporation may, in its sole discretion, after due consideration to the desires of the Participant and/or his designated beneficiary, communicated to the Corporation at least six (6) months prior to the Supplemental Retirement Plan Benefit Determination Date, make payment of benefits rather in another “life annuity” form described in Section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(ii) of the Treasury Regulations that is of actuarially equivalent value to the single life annuity described in (c) above, determined using such reasonable factors as the Administrative Committee may determine; provided , that no such change in annuity form shall be effective if made on or after the Supplemental Retirement Plan Benefit Determination Date.

 


SECTION 2. SUPPLEMENTAL SAVINGS PLAN BENEFITS

2.1. Employer Participating Contributions. If contributions to the Savings Plan on behalf of a Participant made pursuant to Section 5.1 of the Savings Plan are limited by the application of the limits described in Code Sections 401(a)(17) and 415 and/or a Participant makes compensation deferrals pursuant to this Supplemental Plan or to any other nonqualified deferred compensation plan of Millipore Corporation, Millipore Corporation shall credit to an account established for the Participant under this Supplemental Plan (his “Supplemental Participation Plan Account” and together with the Participant’s Supplemental Deferral Account, as defined below, the Participant’s “Supplemental Savings Plan Accounts”) an amount equal to the excess of (a) over (b), where (a) is the amount which would have been contributed under Section 5.1 of the Savings Plan in the absence of the limits described in Code Sections 401(a)(17) and 415 and any compensation deferrals under this Supplemental Plan or any other nonqualified deferred compensation plan of Millipore Corporation, and (b) is the amount actually contributed under Section 5.1 of the Savings Plan.

The Participant’s Supplemental Participation Plan Account shall be adjusted as of the end of each calendar quarter as if it were invested in the Participation Fund of the Savings Plan.

2.2. Supplemental Participant Deferrals .

(a) In General . A Participant may elect Supplemental Participant Deferrals for any calendar year by executing an irrevocable deferral election (on a form prescribed by the Administrative Committee) with respect to his or her gross compensation ( i.e. , compensation determined prior to any deferrals under the Savings Plan, this Supplemental Plan, or any other nonqualified deferred compensation plan of Millipore Corporation). Each such election shall become irrevocable not later than the applicable election deadline. Subject to Section 2.2(b) below, the applicable deadline for a deferral election is such deadline as the Administrative Committee shall establish, which deadline shall in no event be later than:

(i) for any bonus that in the Administrative Committee’s judgment will qualify under Section 409A as “performance-based compensation” that has not yet become readily ascertainable, the date that is six (6) months before the end of the performance period, but only if the Participant has been in continuous employment with the Company since the later of the beginning of the performance period or the date the performance criteria are established; and

(ii) in every other case, the last day of the calendar year preceding the calendar year in which the services to which the deferred compensation relates are to be performed.

 


The Administrative Committee may, not later than the applicable election deadline, restrict the types of compensation eligible to be deferred under the Supplemental Plan.

(b) Mid-Year Deferral .

(i) An individual who first becomes a Participant after the beginning of a calendar year may elect Supplemental Participant Deferrals for the remainder of such year by executing an irrevocable deferral election (on a form prescribed by the Administrative Committee) with respect to his or her eligible compensation in respect of services to be performed during the remainder of the calendar year following such election within thirty (30) days of the date that he or she becomes eligible to participate. If, during his or her first year of eligibility, a Participant makes an election to defer any compensation that is earned based upon a specified performance period (for example, an annual bonus) and such election is made after the beginning of the performance period, any election made under this Section 2.2(b) shall apply only to the compensation paid for services performed after the election. For purposes of this Section 2.2(b), an election will be deemed to apply to compensation paid for services performed after the election if the election applies to no more than an amount equal to the total amount of the compensation for the performance period multiplied by the ratio of the number of days remaining in the performance period after the election over the total number of days in the performance period.

(ii) An individual who already participates or is eligible to participate in (including, except to the extent otherwise provided in Section 1.409A-2(a)(7) of the Treasury Regulations, an individual who has any entitlement, vested or unvested, to payments under) any other nonqualified deferred compensation plan that would be required to be aggregated with the Supplemental Plan for purposes of Section 1.409A-1(c)(2) of the Treasury Regulations shall not be treated as eligible for the mid-year election rules of this Section 2.2(b) with respect to the Supplemental Plan, even if he or she had never previously been eligible to participate in this Supplemental Plan itself.

(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Committee may, in its sole discretion, determine prior to the last day on which a Participant would otherwise be eligible to make a mid-year election under this Section 2.2(b) that no such mid-year election shall be permitted for such Participant with respect to compensation in respect of services to be performed during such Plan Year.

(c) 2008 Participant Deferrals. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2 to the contrary, each individual who made a 2008 Deferral Election shall be deemed to have elected irrevocably, as of December 31, 2007, the same percentage

 


deferral under the Supplemental Plan with respect to his or her 2008 Compensation payable on or after the Effective Deferral Date (and no deferral under the Supplemental Plan with respect to 2008 Compensation payable earlier in 2008). For purposes of this Section 2.2(c), the following terms have the meanings set forth below:

(i) “2008 Deferral Election” is the percentage of a Participant’s Compensation (as defined in the Savings Plan) in effect on December 31, 2007 as a deferral election percentage under the Savings Plan.

(ii) “2008 Compensation” means a Participant’s eligible compensation (prior to any deferrals under the Savings Plan, the Supplemental Plan, or any other nonqualified deferred compensation plan of Millipore Corporation) for the calendar year beginning January 1, 2008, if any.

(iii) “Effective Deferral Date” means the pay date in 2008 in respect of which the last elective deferral contribution for the benefit of the Participant would have been made to the Savings Plan had the Participant continued to defer under the Savings Plan at the 2008 Deferral Election percentage rate. If 2008 Compensation payable on a pay date would be subject only in part to deferral under the Savings Plan under the preceding sentence, only the excess shall be treated as being payable on such pay date for purposes of this Section 2.2(c) (and therefore subject to deferral under the Supplemental Plan).

(d) The amount of compensation deferred by the Participant pursuant to this Section 2.2 of this Supplemental Plan shall be credited to an account established for the Participant under this Supplemental Plan (his “Supplemental Deferral Account”). The Participant’s Supplemental Deferral Account shall be adjusted as of the end of each calendar quarter as if the account were invested in accordance with the Participant’s investment election pursuant to Section 6.3 of the Savings Plan.

 


2.3. Supplemental Employer Matching Contributions . If a Participant makes Supplemental Participant Deferrals pursuant to Section 2.2 of this Supplemental Plan for any calendar year, Millipore Corporation shall credit to his Sup
