MASCO CORPORATION RETIREMENT
BENEFIT RESTORATION PLAN
SECTION
1
ADOPTION OF PLAN
1.1
Adoption . Masco Corporation (“Masco”) hereby
adopts the Masco Corporation Retirement Benefit Restoration Plan
(“Plan”), originally effective January 1, 1995
(“Effective Date”), as amended and restated herein
effective October 22, 2008 (“Restatement Effective
Date”).
1.2
Purpose . The sole purpose of the Plan is to provide
benefits to a select group of management or highly compensated
employees, that would be provided to such employees who terminate
employment or retire after the Effective Date under certain
retirement plans of Masco Corporation and its subsidiaries, which
plans are set forth in Appendix “A” hereto and are
qualified plans under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended (Code) (the “Qualified Plans”,
“Qualified Pension Plans” or “Qualified Profit
Sharing Plans”), but for the benefit limitations of the Code,
in order to encourage the continued employment and diligent service
of such employees with Masco or the company (as hereinafter
defined) following the Effective Date. Accordingly (by way of
example and not limitation), in no event shall the provisions of
the Plan be construed to benefit any employee whose termination of
employment occurred prior to the Effective Date. Effective as of
the Restatement Effective Date, the Plan as amended and restated
herein shall apply to all those employees then eligible to
participate hereunder, as well as to all persons who terminated
employment prior to such date who retain a deferred vested right to
benefits under the Plan or to whom retirement benefits are being
paid under the Plan.
1.3
Construction . The Plan shall be construed in accordance
with Michigan law, except where preempted by federal law. It is
intended that the Plan, except as permitted herein, shall be
unfunded and maintained by Masco primarily for the purpose of
providing deferred compensation for a select group of management or
highly compensated employees, so that the Plan is exempt from the
requirements of Parts 2, 3 and 4 of the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA). All provisions of the
Plan shall be interpreted in accordance with such
intentions.
1
2.1
Covered Employees . The coverage of the Plan shall be
limited to highly-compensated or management employees of Masco and
of those subsidiaries of Masco the Qualified Plans of which are
listed in Appendix “A”, who individually
(a) receives from Masco or the subsidiary of Masco which is
the employer of such person (“company”) annual
compensation otherwise eligible for coverage under the terms of
such Qualified Plan which exceeds the applicable limit as provided
by Section 401(a)(17) of the Code, or (b) whose benefits
or contributions under the Qualified Plans are reduced due to the
application of Section 415 of the Code (hereinafter,
“employee”).
2.2
Commencement and Cessation of Coverage . An employee shall
be covered under the Plan commencing on the later of (a) the
Effective Date or (b) the earlier of the date that his
plan-eligible compensation described in paragraph 2.1 first exceeds
the annual limitation amount described in paragraph 2.1 or the date
his benefits or contributions under the Qualified Plans are first
reduced by the application of Code Section 415. An employee
shall cease to be covered by the Plan on his date of termination of
employment from Masco or the company and any of their subsidiaries.
If prior to such termination an employee ceases to qualify for
coverage under the Plan due to some other event (by way of examples
and not as limitation, a decrease in Plan-eligible compensation or
the commencement of employment with Masco or the company or any of
their subsidiaries, which employer has no Qualified Plan or has
discontinued its Qualified Plan), his coverage under the Plan shall
cease as of the time such disqualifying event occurs and only the
benefits accrued hereunder up to such time shall be payable from
this Plan.
2
3.1
Amount . A covered employee shall be entitled hereunder to
either or both, as applicable, of the following supplemental
retirement benefits:
(a)
An annual amount equal to the benefit which would have been payable
to the employee under any defined benefit (pension) Qualified
Plan in which he is a participant (“Qualified Pension
Plan”), computed without regard to any benefit limitations
imposed by the Code on the computation or amount of such benefit,
and reduced (but not below zero) by any benefits which the employee
is eligible to receive, prior to giving effect to any qualified
domestic relations order or tax levy, under any such Qualified
Pension Plan, each benefit being expressed for this purpose in the
normal form of payment under said Qualified Pension
Plan;
(b)
A single sum amount equal to the difference between (1) the
cumulative total of employer contributions (other than
contributions characterized as elective deferrals under Code
Section 401(k) or matching contributions under Section 401(m))
which from time to time would have been contributed to the account
of the employee with respect to periods after December 31,
1993 under any defined contribution (profit sharing) Qualified Plan
in which he is a participant computed without regard to any
limitations imposed by the Code on the determination or amount of
such employer contributions and (2) the actual employer profit
sharing contributions made during such periods prior to giving
effect to any qualified domestic relations order or tax levy, with
such difference adjusted by the average of the investment earnings
(or losses) actually experienced for each such period in the
Fidelity Freedom Funds which are offered as investment choices in
the Masco Corporation Future Service Profit Sharing Plan (or in
such other index fund or funds as Masco may determine from time to
time), as if the contributions in (1) above had been made
simultaneously with the actual contributions referenced in
(2) above.
In no
case shall there be any adjustments for forfeitures of any kind and
no payment made pursuant to this Plan shall have any gross-up for
tax effect, other than as provided under paragraphs 4.5 or 4.6
hereof.
3.2
Timing and Form of Payments . (a) Retirement benefit
payments hereunder which are supplemental to a Qualified Pension
Plan shall be made commencing at Retirement and shall be payable
either (i) for an employee who is unmarried at the time
payments commence, in the form of a single life annuity,
(ii) for any employee who is married when payments commence,
in the form of a 50% joint and survivor annuity with the
employee’s spouse, or (iii) in an optional form which
the employee validly elects (pursuant to the same procedures, and
for the same optional forms, as are specified in the Qualified
Pension Plan) for payment of benefits hereunder. Any optional form
selected shall be paid at such times and in such amounts as are in
the aggregate, actuarially equivalent to the Plan’s payments
when made
3
as a
single life annuity (including, as applicable, additional early
commencement actuarial reduction for amounts payable under
paragraph 3.1(a) which commence prior to the Qualified Pension
Plan’s normal retirement date, other than benefits (for
example, disability benefits) which by their terms would be payable
prior to the normal retirement date with no reduction for early
commencement); such actuarial equivalents shall be computed using
the same formulas and actuarial factors as set forth for
determinations of comparable optional forms of benefits as are
offered under the Qualified Pension Plan; for purposes of this
paragraph 3.2(a), an employee’s marital status and spouse
shall be determined in accordance with the Qualified Pension Plan.
Other than as provided in paragraphs 4.5 and 4.6 or in the case of
a benefit the Present Value of which is less than $5000, the Plan
may not make an actuarially equivalent payment in the form of a
lump sum.
(b) A
sum payable hereunder which is supplemental to a Qualified Profit
Sharing Plan shall be paid in a single lump sum promptly following
Retirement to the employee (or to the Beneficiary named under the
Qualified Profit Sharing Plan). Notwithstanding the foregoing, such
payment shall be subject to delay as described in paragraph 3.5 for
those persons subject thereto.
3.3
Forfeitability . Except as provided in paragraph 4.5(a)(i),
the right to any payment of benefits under the Plan shall be vested
in the same manner and to the same extent as benefits are vested
under the Qualified Pension and Qualified Profit Sharing
Plans.
3.4
No Payment During Employment . Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no periodic payments computed under paragraph 3.1 shall
be made until after termination of employment from Masco, the
company or any of their subsidiaries.
3.5
Delay of Payment . Notwithstanding the foregoing, any
payments of Covered Benefits (those benefits subject to the
provisions of Code Section 409A) otherwise payable hereunder
to an employee who is a person described in 26 CFR 1.409A-1(i)
shall be delayed for the first six months following termination of
employment, and after six months such delayed payments shall be
paid to the employee in a single lump sum, with no interest
adjustment for such delay.

SECTION
4
SOURCE OF BENEFITS AND CHANGE OF CONTROL
4.1
Cost of Plan . Other than as provided in paragraphs 4.2, 4.5
and 4.6, the entire cost of providing benefits under the Plan,
including the costs of the Plan Administrator, shall be paid by
Masco out of its general assets, and Masco’s obligations
under the Plan shall be an unfunded and unsecured promise to pay.
Other than as provided in paragraphs 4.2, 4.5 and 4.6, Masco shall
not be obligated to separately fund its obligations under the
Plan.
4.2
Option to Fund Informally . Notwithstanding paragraph 4.1,
Masco may, at its sole option, or by agreement, informally fund its
obligations under the Plan in whole or in part, provided, however,
in no event shall such informal funding be construed to create any
trust fund (other than pursuant to paragraphs 4.5 and 4.6), escrow
account or other security for an employee with respect to the
payment of benefits under the Plan. Furthermore, if Masco decides
to informally fund the Plan, in whole or in part, by procuring, as
owner, life insurance for its own benefit on the lives of
employees, the form of such insurance and the amounts thereof shall
be the sole decision of Masco, and in no event shall an employee
have any incidents of ownership in any such policies of
insurance.
4.3
Physical Examinations . If a physical examination is
required for Masco to obtain insurance for covered employees under
paragraph 4.2, each employee agrees to undergo such physical
examinations as may be required by the insurance carrier. Such
physical examinations shall be conducted by a physician approved by
Masco, at the expense of Masco.
4.4
No Employee Contributions or Loans . No loans or hardship
distributions or contributions by employees are permitted or
required under the Plan.
4.5
Change of Control . (a) Immediately upon the occurrence
of any Change of Control:
(i) If
the employee is then employed by Masco or the company, if not
already 100%, vesting in all benefits hereunder shall be deemed for
all purposes of this Plan to be 100%.
(ii) Masco
shall forthwith deposit to an account in the employee’s name
(or that of the employee’s Beneficiary if the employee is
then deceased and the employee’s Beneficiary is entitled to
benefits hereunder) in the Deferred Compensation Trust, which Masco
shall theretofore have established, 110% of the sum of the Gross-Up
Amount plus:
(A) If
the employee is then employed by Masco or the company, an amount
equal to the discounted Present Value of the benefits which would
have been payable under paragraphs 3.1 and 3.2 of this Plan
upon
5
Retirement
at age 65 or attained age if greater, assuming for purposes of this
clause, no compensation increases and that if younger than age 65
the employee and the employee’s Beneficiary had attained such
age;
(B) If
employment has previously been terminated but the employee or the
employee’s Beneficiary is then entitled in the future to
receive benefits under this Plan, an amount equal to the discounted
Present Value of the benefits which would have been so payable;
and
(C) If
the employee or the employee’s Beneficiary is then receiving
payments under paragraph 3.2 of this Plan, an amount equal to the
Present Value of those benefits payable in the future to the
employee and the employee’s Beneficiary.
(b) If
the Deferred Compensation Trust is not established prior to or
within thirty days after the Change of Control, all payments which
would otherwise have been made to the employee or the
employee’s Beneficiary from the Deferred Compensation Trust
shall immediately after such thirty day period be made to the
employee or the employee’s Beneficiary by Masco.
(c) Any
deposit by Masco to an account in the employee’s name or that
of the employee’s Beneficiary in the Deferred Compensation
Trust prior to the occurrence of the Change of Control, together
with all income then accrued thereon (but only to the extent of the
value of such deposited amount and the income accrued thereon on
the day of any deposit under clause (a)(ii) of this paragraph 4.5),
shall reduce by an equal amount the obligations of Masco to make
the deposit required under clause (a)(ii) of this paragraph
4.5.
(d) At
or prior to making the deposit required by clause (a)(ii) of this
paragraph 4.5, Masco shall deliver to the Trustee under the
Deferred Compensation Trust a certificate specifying that portion,
if any, of the amount in the trust account, after giving effect to
the deposit, which is represented by the Gross-Up Amount. Payment
of 90.91% of the amount required by clause (a)(ii) of this
paragraph 4.5 to be paid to the trust account, together with any
income accrued thereon from the date of the Change of Control, is
to be made to the employee or the employee’s Beneficiary, as
applicable, under the terms of the Deferred Compensation Trust, at
the earlier of (1) immediately upon a Change of Control if the
employee then is deceased or has attained age 65, (2) the
employee’s death subsequent to the Change of Control, or
(3) the date which is one year after the Change of Control
(subject, in each case, to paragraph 3.5 if applicable);
provided , however , that the Trustee under the
Deferred Compensation Trust is required promptly to pay to the
employee or the employee’s Beneficiary, as applicable, from
the trust account from time to time amounts, not exceeding in the
aggregate the Gross-Up Amount, upon the employee’s or the
employee’s Beneficiary’s certification to the Trustee
that the amount to be paid has been or within 60 days will be
paid by the employee or the employee’s Beneficiary to a
Federal, state or local taxing authority as a result of the Change
of Control and the imposition of the excise tax under
Section 4999 of the Code (or any
6
successor
provision) on the receipt of any portion of the Gross-Up Amount.
All amounts in excess of the amount required to be paid from the
trust account by the preceding sentence, after all expenses of the
Deferred Compensation Trust have been paid and the Deferred
Compensation Trust has been t
