and earnings
thereon credited to the Participant’s account under any
nonqualified deferred compensation plan maintained by the Company

level of bona fide services the Participant would perform after
such date (whether as an employee or as an independent contractor)
would permanently decrease to less than fifty percent (50%) of the
average level of bona fide services performed (whether as an
employee or an independent contractor) over the immediately
preceding thirty-six (36)-month period (or the full period of
service to the Company and its Affiliates if the Participant has
been providing services to the Company or its Affiliates less than
thirty-six (36) months). Whether a Separation from Service has
occurred will be determined based on the facts and circumstances
and in accordance with the guidance under Code Section 409A.
The Participant will not be deemed to have incurred a Separation
from Service while the Participant is on military leave, sick
leave, or other bona fide leave of absence if the period of such
leave does not exceed six months, or if longer, so long as the
Participant retains a right to reemployment with the Company and
its Affiliates under an applicable statute or by contract. For
purposes hereof, a leave of absence constitutes a bona fide leave
of absence only if there is a reasonable expectation that the
Participant will return to perform services for the Company or an
Affiliate. If the period of leave exceeds six months and the
Participant does not retain a right to reemployment under an
applicable statute or by contract, a Separation from Service is
deemed to occur on the first date immediately following such
six-month period.
1.26 Social
Security Benefit shall mean, for a Participant, the maximum
annual primary Social Security retirement benefit amount that,
under the law as in effect as of the Participant’s Benefit
Commencement Date, could be payable to him (regardless of his
actual Social Security compensation amounts) at such date. A
Participant’s Social Security benefit shall also include any
retirement benefits payable to the Participant under any similar
