ARTICLE I. PURPOSE AND DEFINITIONS
Section 1.01. Purpose . The Marcus Corporation has
established this Retirement Income and Supplemental Retirement Plan
to provide retirement benefits to a select group of highly
compensated employees in addition to those benefits provided under
the Company’s tax-qualified retirement plan. The Plan
consists of two components: (1) the “Retirement Income
Plan” or “RIP,” which provides an annuity benefit
based on a formula that takes into account a participant’s
years of service and final average compensation, and (2) the
“Supplemental Retirement Plan” or “SRP,”
which provides a benefit based on amounts accumulated in a
participant’s account.
Section 1.02. Definitions . The following words and phrases

of a life-only annuity commencing the month next following the
later of the RIP Participant’s sixty-fifth (65th) birthday or
Termination Date.
(c)
“Actuarial Equivalent” means a benefit of equivalent
value calculated using an interest rate of eight percent (8%) per
annum compounded annually and a mortality rate based upon the 1984

“Average Monthly Earnings” means a RIP
Participant’s total compensation from the Employer for the
five (5) calendar years during which the Participant’s

include amounts paid by the Employer to a RIP Participant in the
form of salary, cash bonuses and commissions, before payroll
deductions and any reductions in compensation for amounts deferred
through The Marcus Corporation Pension Plus Plan, The Marcus
Corporation Deferred Compensation Plan and any Code Section 125

if any, of the monthly benefits payable to him under any current or
prior qualified defined benefit pension plan of any Employer which
is attributable to employer contributions and is based upon a
period of service that is recognized both under such pension plan
and this Plan for benefit accrual purposes; provided, however,
that, if the time and/or form of benefit payments under such
pension plan (including without limitation, payments pursuant to an
annuity purchased as a consequence of such pension plan’s
termination and payments of the aforesaid portion included in any
distribution from any qualified retirement plan of any Employer to
which such portion was transferred) are different from the time
and/or form of benefits to be paid under this Plan, the reduction
amount to be treated as “Other Benefits” shall be the
Actuarial Equivalent of the aforesaid portion which appropriately
reflects such difference;
|
|
|
(ii)
|

Equivalent amount that appropriately reflects the value of any
amount not covered by clause (i) above which was distributed or is

termination of employment from the Company and its Affiliates
within the meaning of Code Section 409A, or if the Participant
continues to provide services to the Company and its Affiliates in
a capacity other than an employee after his or her termination,
such later date as is considered a separation from service within
the meaning of Code Section 409A. Specifically, a Participant will
be presumed to have incurred a Separation from Service when the
level of bona fide services performed by the Participant for the
Company and its Affiliates permanently decreases to a level equal
to twenty percent (20%) or less of the average level of services
performed by the Participant for the Company or its Affiliates
during the immediately preceding thirty-six (36) month period (or
such lesser period of actual service). Notwithstanding the
foregoing, a Participant will not be considered to have terminated
employment if the Participant is absent from active employment due
to military leave, sick leave or other bona fide leave of absence
if the period of such leave does not exceed the greater of (i) six
(6) months, or if the leave of absence is due to the
Participant’s Disability, then the leave period may be
extended for up to a total of twenty-nine (29) months; or (ii) the

monthly primary old age insurance benefit payable to the
Participant as of the later of his sixty-fifth (65th) birthday or
Termination Date under the provisions of the federal Social
Security Act in effect on his Termination Date, or (ii) in the case
of a disability retirement due to a disability qualifying for
disability benefits under said Act, the estimated monthly primary
disability insurance benefit payable to the Participant under the
provisions of said Act in effect on his Termination Date,
regardless in either case of whether he applies for such benefit or
whether he is or becomes ineligible therefor for any reason. If a
Participant’s employment terminates prior to attainment of
age sixty-five (65) other than for a disability retirement covered
by clause (ii) immediately above, his Social Security Benefit shall
be estimated on the assumption his rate of compensation (as defined
in Section 1.02(f) hereof) for the calendar year immediately prior
to his Termination Date will continue until age sixty-five (65).
Once determined, a Participant’s Social Security Benefit
shall not be subject to adjustment except for arithmetical errors
in the computation thereof and shall, for all purposes of the Plan,
be assumed to remain as finally computed regardless of any
subsequent fact, event or occurrence which would cause a change or
an adjustment in the annual amount thereof actually payable to the
Participant.

employee (as defined in Code Section 416(i) but without regard to
Code Section 416(i)(5)) of the Company or an Affiliate of the
Company any of the stock of which is publicly traded on an
established securities market or otherwise, as determined at the
time of the Participant’s Separation from Service. A
Participant is a key employee under Code Section 416(i) if the

(ii) or (iii), applied in accordance with the regulations under
Code Section 416, but disregarding Code Section 416(i)(5), at any
time during the 12-month period ending on the identification date.
For purposes of determining whether a Participant is a key
employee, the definition of compensation under Treasury Regulation
§1.415-2(a) shall be used, applied as if the Company and its
affiliates were not using any safe harbor under Treasury Regulation
§1.415-2(d), any of the special timing rules of Treasury
Regulation §1.415-2(e) or any of the special rules provided in
Treasury Regulation §1.415-2(g). If a Participant is a key
employee as of an identification date, the Participant is treated
as a Specified Employee for the 12-month period beginning on the
first day of the fourth month following the identification date.
The identification date for this Plan shall be December 31 of each
year, such that if the Participant satisfies the foregoing
requirements for key employee status as of December 31 of a year,
the Participant shall be treated as a key employee for the 12-month
period beginning April 1 of the following calendar year.
(dd)
“Spouse” means the person who is legally married to a
RIP Participant (i) on the date he first receives a retirement
benefit hereunder or, (ii) where his death occurs prior to the

Section 1.02(l) hereof.
|

to June 1, 1990 but on or after January 1, 1990, and who satisfied
the eligibility requirements of subsection (b) of this Section 3.01
on his Termination Date shall become a Participant in the Income
Plan on June 1, 1990.
(d)
A Participant who has once satisfied all the eligibility
requirements of subsection (a) or (b) of this Section 3.01 will
remain eligible to participate in the Plan despite whether he
continues to satisfy requirement (iii) of said subsection (b)
subsequent to his participation date.
(e)

A Participant shall earn Years of Service in an amount equal to the
number determined as follows:

(i)
|
the total
number of months during the period beginning on the
Participant’s Date of Hire and ending on his Termination
Date,
|
9
|
|
(ii)

any Period of
Severance of less than twelve (12) months,

Except as provided below, a Participant who incurs a Period of
Severance from employment with the Employer shall have his Years of

with his Years of Service after the Period of Severance.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, for purposes of determining a Participant’s
vested interest in his Account:
|
|
(i)
|
If a SRP
Participant incurs a Period of Severance of sixty (60) consecutive
months or more, all Years of Service earned by the SRP Participant
after such Period of Severance shall be disregarded in determining
such Participant’s vested interest in his Account
attributable to employment before such Period of Severance.
However, Years of Service earned both before and after such Period
of Severance shall be included in determining the SRP
Participant’s vested interest in his Account balance
attributable to employment after such Period of
Severance.
|
|
|
(ii)
|
If a SRP
Participant incurs a Period of Severance of fewer than sixty (60)
consecutive months, Years of Service earned both before and after
such Period of Severance shall be included in determining such
Participant’s vested interest in his Account attributable to
employment both before and after such Period of
Severance.
|
(c)
After calculating a Participant’s Years of Service under
subsection (a) and (b) of this Section 3.02, any remaining period
of less than twelve (12) months shall be disregarded.
