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 when used herein shall have the following meanings, except as otherwise required by the context:

            (a)     “Account” means the bookkeeping entry established on the records of the Company to reflect the amount owed to a SRP Participant (or Beneficiary thereof) under the Plan.

            (b)     “Accrued Benefit” means the monthly benefit amount calculated pursuant to Section 4.05 hereof and payable in the form 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 UP Mortality Table for purposes of converting from one periodic form of payment to another, including, without limitation, different commencement dates for payment, and for purposes of converting from a periodic form of payment to a lump sum form of payment under Section 4.07(a)(ii) hereof.

            (d)     “Administrator” means the Marcus Retirement Planning Committee, or such other committee as may be appointed by the Board to administer this Plan.

            (f)     “Average Monthly Earnings” means a RIP Participant’s total compensation from the Employer for the five (5) calendar years during which the Participant’s compensation was highest within the last ten (10) consecutive calendar years preceding his Termination Date, divided by sixty (60). For purposes of making this calculation, compensation shall 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 arrangement, but shall exclude imputed income and any other additional remuneration and/or expense reimbursement which the Administrator, in its sole discretion, determines not to be compensation hereunder.

1


            (g)     “Beneficiary” means the person(s) or entity(ies) designated by a Participant to receive benefits under the Plan, if any, upon the Participant’s death. Beneficiary designations shall be in writing, filed with the Administrator, and in such form as the Administrator may prescribe for this purpose. The last designation filed with the Administrator prior to the Participant’s death shall be given effect.

            (h)     “Board” means the Board of Directors of the Company.

            (i)     “Change of Control” has the meaning ascribed under Code Section 409A.

            (k)     “Company” means The Marcus Corporation.

            (l)     “Compensation” means a SRP Participant’s total compensation from the Employer for the Plan Year. For this purpose, Compensation shall include amounts paid by the Employer to a SRP 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 arrangement, but shall exclude imputed income and any other additional remuneration and/or expense reimbursement which the Administrator, in its sole discretion, determines not to be compensation hereunder.

            (m)     “Date of Hire” means the date on which an Eligible Employee becomes employed with any Employer.

2


 

(i)

that portion, 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)

an Actuarial Equivalent amount that appropriately reflects the value of any amount not covered by clause (i) above which was distributed or is distributable to such Participant under any qualified profit sharing, money purchase pension, stock bonus or other individual account plan of any Employer (excluding The Marcus Corporation Deferred Compensation Plan) and is attributable to employer contributions (other than Code Section 401(k) deferrals elected by such Participant) and based upon a period of service recognized for any purpose under both that plan and this Plan; and



 

(iii)

in the case of disability retirement under this Plan, the amount of the monthly benefits payable to the Participant under any long-term disability welfare benefit program of any Employer which is attributable to employer contributions; provided, however, that, if the time and/or form of benefits payments under such program 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 amount payable under such program which appropriately reflects such difference; provided further, however, that the reduction amount specified by this clause (iii) shall only apply during the period that the Participant is receiving benefit payments under both such program and this Plan.



            (s)     “Participant” means an Eligible Employee who has satisfied the requirements of Section 3.01.

            (t)     “Period of Severance” means the period of time between a Participant’s Termination Date and the date he is subsequently rehired by any Employer.

The Plan consists of two components: the “Retirement Income Plan” which covers the RIP Participants as described in Article IV, and the “Supplemental Retirement Plan” which covers the SRP Participants as described in Article V.

            (v)     “Plan Year” means the twelve (12) month period ending on December 31 of each year during which the Plan is in effect.

            (w)     “Points” means the combination of a SRP Participant’s age (as of his most recent birthday) and Years of Service as of the last day of a Plan Year.

            (x)     “RIP Participant” means a Participant in the Plan on December 31, 2008, who meets at least one of the following requirements on January 1, 2009:

 

(i)

The Participant is age 50 or older; or



 

(ii)

The Participant has 20 or more Years of Service; or



 

(iii)

The Participant is a member of the Corporate Executive Committee.



            (y)     “Retirement” for SRP Participant means a termination of employment from the Employer on or after attaining age sixty-five (65) and completing five (5) Years of Service.

            (z)     “SRP Participant” means a Participant who is not a RIP Participant.

            (aa)     “Separation from Service” means a Participant’s 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 period during which the Participant’s right to reemployment by the Company or an Affiliate is provided either by statute or by contract.

4


            (bb)     “Social Security Benefit” means (i) in all cases except disability retirements covered by clause (ii) below, the estimated 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.

            (cc)     “Specified Employee” means a Participant who is a key 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 Participant meets the requirements of Code Section 416(i)(1)(A)(i), (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 commencement of such benefit payments, throughout the entire one (1) year period ending on the date of such death.

            (ee)     “Termination Date” means the date on which a Participant’s employment with the Employer ends because he quits, retires, is terminated or dies, or if earlier, the date of his Separation from Service.

            (ff)     “Total and Permanent Disability” means a physical and/or mental disability which:

results from bodily or mental injury or disease, whether occupational or nonoccupational, while employed by the Employer;



 

(ii)

was not contracted, suffered or incurred while the Participant was engaged in, or did not result from his having engaged in, a criminal act involving moral turpitude; and



 

(v)

did not result from addiction to alcohol or narcotics, self-inflicted injury or act of war.



 

In determining under condition (iii) whether a Participant is wholly or permanently prevented from engaging in any occupation or employment for remuneration or profit, there shall be excepted from consideration: (x) work performed pursuant to a medically recommended plan for rehabilitation; and (y) work from which the annual earnings amount to no more than twenty-five percent (25%) of his compensation (as defined in Section 1.02(l) hereof) for the calendar year immediately preceding the date that he incurred the disability which is found to be a Total and Permanent Disability.



            (gg)     “Trust” means the trust established pursuant to the trust agreement dated September 30, 1992, by and between the Company and Bank One Wisconsin Trust Company, NA.

            (hh)     “Year of Service” means twelve (12) full months of employment with the Employer which is credited pursuant to Section 3.04 hereof for purposes of participation eligibility, vesting, benefit accrual, and determining Points under the Plan.

         Section 1.03. Construction .

            (a)     Wherever any words are used herein 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 herein are used 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. The words “hereof” , “herein” , “hereunder” and other similar compounds of the word “here” shall mean and refer to the entire Plan and not to any particular Article or Section. Titles of Articles and Sections hereof are for general information only, and the Plan is not to be construed by reference thereto.

6


            (b)     The Plan shall be construed and its validity determined according to applicable federal laws and, to the extent not preempted by such federal laws, the laws of the State of Wisconsin without reference to conflict of law principles thereof. In case any provision of this Plan shall be held illegal or invalid for any reason, said illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts of the Plan, but the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if said illegal and invalid provisions had never been inserted herein.

            (c)     The Plan shall be construed and interpreted in a manner that will cause any payment hereunder that is considered deferred compensation and that is not exempt from Code Section 409A to meet the requirements thereof such that no additional tax will be due under Code Section 409A on such payment.

ARTICLE II. PURPOSE AND EFFECTIVE DATE

         Section 2.01. Purpose of Plan . The purpose of the Plan is to provide for the special retirement income needs of certain employees of the Employer which are not deemed to be satisfied by the applicable current and prior qualified retirement plans of the Employer.

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.
