For
purposes of Section 1(c)(i)(B)(I), the account balances

(y) assuming the Employee received in an account held for the
Employee under the Savings Plans the maximum amount of matching
contributions for each year he was an employee and eligible to
participate in the Savings Plans and (z) using the actual
contributions made by Timken for all other purposes to the Savings
Plans. For purposes of Section 1(c)(i)(B)(II), the account
balances related to the Savings Plans will be determined by
assuming the Employee received in an account held for the Employee
under the Savings Plans the maximum amount of matching
contributions at the rate of 4.5% of the Employee’s Gross
Earnings (as defined in the Savings Plans on the date hereof) for
each year he was an employee and eligible to participate in the
Savings Plans. For purposes of Section 1(c)(i)(B), interest
will be credited to such account at a rate of eight percent (8%)
per annum beginning at the end of the year to which the
contributions are attributable. The monthly annuity will be that
which could be purchased on the date of the Employee’s
Termination of Employment with the account balance at the date that
Excess Benefits are to commence under this Section 1(c) from an
insurance company which at the time of purchase has the highest
rating by A. M. Best assuming that the annuity is purchased with
assets from a qualified retirement plan, is based on group rates,
is on a no commission basis and is payable for the Employee’s
