PENSION RESTORATION PLAN
EFFECTIVE
JANUARY 1, 2006
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;
NOW, THEREFORE, the Company hereby adopts this Plan to provide such benefits.
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.
