WHEREAS, The Dayton Power and Light Company, the wholly owned subsidiary of DPL Inc. (the “Company”), has established the Retirement Income Plan of the Dayton Power and Light Company (the “Retirement Plan”);

WHEREAS, the accrued benefit under the Retirement Plan is determined on the basis of base compensation other than base compensation an employee elects to defer under the Deferred Compensation Plan (as hereinafter defined); and

WHEREAS, the Company desires to adopt this Pension Restoration Plan to restore in part the benefits which are lost as a result of an election to defer base salary under the Deferred Compensation Plan;

ARTICLE I - PREFACE

Section  1.1           Effective Date.  The effective date of this Plan is January 1, 2006.

Section  1.2           Purpose of the Plan.  The purpose of this Plan is to restore in part pension benefits lost by certain management and highly compensated employees of the Company under the Retirement Plan as a result of such employees’ election to defer base salary under the Company’s Deferred Compensation Plan.

Section  1.3           Governing Law.  This Plan shall be regulated, construed and administered under the laws of the State of Ohio, except when preempted by federal law.

Section  1.4           Section 409A of the Code.  It is intended that the Plan (including all amendments thereto) comply with the provisions of Section 409A of the Code, so as to prevent the inclusion in gross income of any retirement benefit accrued hereunder in a taxable year that is prior to the taxable year or years in which such amount would otherwise be actually distributed or made available to the Participants.  It is intended that the Plan shall be administered in a manner that will comply with Section 409A of the Code, including proposed, temporary or final regulations or any other guidance issued by the Secretary of the Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service with respect thereto (collectively, the “409A Guidance”).  Any plan provisions that would cause the Plan to fail to satisfy Section 409A of the Code shall have no force and effect unless and until amended to comply with Section 409A of the Code (which amendment may be retroactive to the extent permitted by the 409A Guidance).

Section  1.5           Severability.  If any provision of this Plan or the application thereof to any circumstance(s) or person(s) is held to be invalid by a court of competent

 

 



jurisdiction, the remainder of the Plan and the application of such provision to other circumstances or persons shall not be affected thereby.

(c)           Withholding/Taxes.  The Company may withhold from the  Supplemental Retirement Benefit all foreign, federal, provincial, state, city or other taxes as shall be required pursuant to any law or government regulation or ruling.
