PACCAR INC SAVINGS INVESTMENT PLAN

 

(As Amended and Restated Effective January 1, 2007)

 

Effective January 1, 1955, Pacific Car and Foundry Company, the corporate predecessor of PACCAR Inc (a Delaware corporation), adopted the Pacific Car and Foundry Company Profit Sharing Plan and executed a Trust Agreement to provide profit-sharing benefits for its salaried employees.

 

The Plan has been subsequently amended and restated and has been renamed the “PACCAR Inc Savings Investment Plan.”  Effective April 1, 2005, PACCAR Inc amended and restated the Plan to provide that a portion of the Plan will constitute an employee stock ownership plan within the meaning of IRC section 4975(e)(7).  Effective January 1, 2006, PACCAR Inc amended and restated the Plan to comply with final regulations under IRC section 401(k) and to make certain other amendments.  Effective January 1, 2007, PACCAR Inc further amended and restated the Plan to incorporate amendments requested by the Internal Revenue Service in its October 23, 2008 determination letter for the Plan.  Certain provisions, which are specifically identified, have a different effective date.

 

ARTICLE 1

 

PURPOSE AND SCOPE

 

1.1                                  Purpose of Plan

 

The purposes of this amended and restated Plan are:

 

(a)                                   To encourage systematic savings and investment by Eligible Employees as a means of building financial security;

 

(b)                                  To increase the identification of Eligible Employees with the Company’s financial success;

 

(c)                                   To provide Eligible Employees with a flexible savings and investment program enabling them to make decisions concerning the rate of return and relative risk of the investments made for their Accounts, as their personal or economic conditions change; and

 

(d)                                  To offer additional inducements which will attract and retain Eligible Employees with the knowledge and skills necessary for the Company’s success.

 

The Plan provides for contributions to be made by the Company to aid in accomplishing these purposes.

 

The Plan and the Trust Agreement are intended to meet the requirements of IRC sections 401(a), 401(k) and 501(a).  The assets of the Plan are held in trust and are invested for the exclusive purpose of providing benefits to Members of the Plan and their Beneficiaries.

 

1



 

The Plan is intended to qualify as an eligible individual account plan under section 407(d)(3) of ERISA, which is permitted to acquire and hold any amount of qualifying employer securities, and a portion of the Plan is intended to qualify as an employee stock ownership plan under IRC section 4975(e)(7), which portion is designed to invest primarily in PACCAR Stock.

 

1.2                                  Scope of Plan

 

The Plan, as set forth herein, applies to Members who are in employment as Employees on or after January 1, 2007.  The rights and benefits, if any, of a former Employee shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the Plan as in effect on the date when his employment terminated.

 

1.3                                  PACCAR Inc Administers for Participating Subsidiaries; Allocation of Cost

 

All acts required of the Company hereunder shall be performed by PACCAR Inc for itself and each of its participating Subsidiaries.  The cost of the Plan shall be apportioned equitably among PACCAR Inc and its participating Subsidiaries; provided that if a Subsidiary is prevented from making any contribution which it otherwise would have made under the Plan by reason of having insufficient Current or Accumulated Earnings and Profits, then the contribution which such Subsidiary would have made shall be made by PACCAR Inc and its other participating Subsidiaries in such proportions as PACCAR Inc may determine, and in accordance with and subject to the deductible contribution limitations of IRC section 404 and the provisions of Article 5.

 

ARTICLE 2

(4)                                   By excluding amounts in excess of $200,000, as adjusted by the Commissioner of the Internal Revenue to reflect increases in the cost-of-living in accordance with section 401(a)(17)(B).  If the Plan Year is less than 12 consecutive months, the compensation limit shall be prorated accordingly.  With respect to Salary Deferrals, the $200,000 indexed limitation shall be applied as follows: the percentage deferral elected by the Member under Section 4.1 shall apply to his or her entire Compensation for the payroll period (even if on an annualized basis Compensation would exceed $200,000 as indexed), provided, however, that aggregate Salary Deferrals for the Plan Year shall not exceed the lesser of (i) the dollar limitation under section 402(g) of the IRC (described in Section 4.5) or (ii) the dollar amount determined by multiplying the $200,000 indexed amount by the maximum deferral percentage permitted under Section 4.1.

ARTICLE 4

 

SALARY DEFERRALS AND ROLLOVER CONTRIBUTIONS

 

4.1            Amount of Salary Deferrals

 

Salary Deferrals are required of all Members other than Restricted Members.  Subject to Section 4.15 and the limitations of this Article 4 and Article 15, any such Member may elect to contribute Salary Deferrals equal to any whole percentage of his Compensation received each pay period after becoming a Member, but not in excess of 35 percent of such Compensation.  Salary Deferrals are not permitted to be made by a Member for any payday on which such Member is not an Eligible Employee.

 

The amount of a Member’s Salary Deferrals shall be withheld by the Company from his Compensation on each payday.  All Salary Deferrals so withheld shall be paid by the Company to the Trustee as soon as reasonably practicable, but in no event later than the 15th day of the month next following the month in which they would otherwise have been payable to the Member in cash.  Salary Deferrals shall be fully vested and nonforfeitable at all times.

 

For Federal income tax purposes (and, wherever permitted, for state and local tax purposes), Salary Deferrals shall be deemed to be employer contributions to the Plan, and a Member’s election to commence or continue his membership in the Plan shall constitute an election to have his taxable compensation reduced by the amount of all of his Salary Deferrals.

 

On or after February 1, 1983, no Member shall make any Member Contributions to the Plan.  However, Member Contributions made before February 1, 1983, shall remain credited to the Member’s Employee Accounts until they are withdrawn or distributed pursuant to the provisions of the Plan.

 

4.2            Involuntary Reduction of Salary Deferral Rate

 

At any time prior to or during a Plan Year, the Company (at its sole discretion) may reduce the maximum rate at which any Member may contribute Salary Deferrals to the Plan for such Plan Year or during the remainder of such Plan Year, or the Company may require that any Member discontinue all Salary Deferrals for the remainder of such Plan Year, for the purpose of meeting the special nondiscrimination rules under the IRC.  Any reduction or discontinuance of Salary Deferrals may be applied selectively to individual Members or to particular classes of Members, as the Company may determine.  In addition to requiring a prospective reduction or discontinuance of Salary Deferrals, the Company may distribute to any Member such portion of the Salary Deferrals that he already contributed for a Plan Year as it determines is necessary to meet the special nondiscrimination rules under the IRC for such year, as provided in Sections 4.5, 4.9 and 15.3 below.

 

4.3            Voluntary Change of Salary Deferral Rate

 

A Member may elect at any time to change the rate of his Salary Deferrals prospectively to any other percentage permitted under this Article 4.  Any election pursuant to this

 

13



 

Section 4.3 shall be made in accordance with the Company’s written procedures applicable at the time of the election.

 

4.4            Voluntary Suspension of Salary Deferrals

 

A Member may elect to suspend all Salary Deferrals at any time, thereby becoming a Restricted Member pursuant to Section 3.4.  Any such election shall be made in accordance with the Company’s written procedures.  Any election to resume Salary Deferrals shall become effective as soon as reasonably practical after it is received by the Company, but in no event earlier than a) 180 days after the effective date of the election to suspend Salary Deferrals or b) effective January 1, 2007, 90 days after the effective date of the election to suspend Salary Deferrals.

 

When a Member resumes Salary Deferrals following such suspension, he may make new elections under this Article 4 regarding the amount and allocation thereof; provided, however, that if he does not make such new elections, his previous elections shall be applicable.

 

4.5            Return of Excess Deferrals

 

Subject to Section 4.15, the aggregate Salary Deferrals of any Member for any calendar year, together with his or her elective deferrals under any other plan or arrangement to which section 402(g) of the IRC applies and that is maintained by PACCAR Inc or any Subsidiary (as defined in Section 2.1(nn) without regard to the last sentence thereof), shall not exceed $15,000 (or such larger amount as may be adopted by the Commissioner of Internal Revenue to reflect a cost-of-living adjustment).  In the event that such aggregate Salary Deferrals and elective deferrals of any Member for any calendar year exceed $15,000 (or such larger amount as may be adopted by the Commissioner of Internal Revenue to reflect a cost-of-living adjustment), then such portion of the Excess Deferrals, and any income or loss allocable to such portion, shall be refunded to the Member not later than the April 15 next following the close of such calendar year.

 

In the event that a Member’s elective deferrals (within the meaning of section 402(g)(3) of the IRC) for a calendar year exceed $15,000 (or such larger amount as may be adopted by the Commissioner of Internal Revenue to reflect a cost-of-living adjustment) solely because such Member participated in this Plan and a plan or arrangement maintained by an employer other than PACCAR Inc or any Subsidiary (as defined in Section 2.1(nn) without regard to the last sentence thereof), then such Member may designate all or a portion of such Excess Deferrals as attributable to this Plan and may request a refund of such portion by notifying the Company in writing on or before the March 1 next following the close of such calendar year.  If timely notice is received, then such a Member’s Excess Deferrals, and any income or loss allocable thereto, shall be refunded to the Member from this Plan no later than the April 15 next following the close of such calendar year.

 

Income (and loss) allocable to Excess Deferrals for the calendar year, but not for the period between the end of the calendar year and the date of distribution of such Excess Deferrals, shall be determined pursuant to the provisions for allocating income (and loss) to a Participant’s Accounts under Section 7.2 of the Plan.

 

14



 

4.6            Average Deferral Percentage Limitation

 

The Plan shall satisfy the average deferral percentage test provided in section 401(k)(3) of the IRC and section 1.401(k)-1 of the Income Tax Regulations issued thereunder.  Subject to the special rules described in Section 4.11, the Aggregate 401(k) Contributions of Highly Compensated Employees shall not exceed the limits described below:

 

(a)            An Actual Deferral Percentage shall be determined for each Highly Compensated Employee who, at any time during the Plan Year, is a member (including a suspended Member) or is eligible to participate in the Plan, which Actual Deferral Percentage shall be the ratio, computed to the nearest one-hundredth of one percent, of the Highly Compensated Employee’s Aggregate 401(k) Contributions for the Plan Year to the Highly Compensated Employee’s Section 414(s) Compensation for the Plan Year;

 

(b)            An Actual Deferral Percentage shall be determined for each Nonhighly Compensated Employee who, at any time during the Plan Year, is a Member (including a suspended Member) or is eligible to participate in the Plan, which Actual Deferral Percentage shall be the ratio, computed to the nearest one-hundredth of one percent, of the Nonhighly Compensated Employee’s Aggregate 401(k) Contributions for the Plan Year to the Nonhighly Compensated Employee’s Section 414(s) Compensation for the Plan Year;

 

(c)            The Actual Deferral Percentages (including zero percentages) of Highly Compensated Employees and Nonhighly Compensated Employees shall be separately averaged to determine each group’s Average Deferral Percentage; and

 

(d)            The Aggregate 401(k) Contributions of Highly Compensated Employees shall constitute Excess Contributions and shall be reduced, pursuant to Sections 4.8 and 4.9, to the extent that the Average Deferral Percentage of Highly Compensated Employees exceeds the greater of (1) 125 percent of the Average Deferral Percentage of Nonhighly Compensated Employees or (2) the lesser of (A) 200 percent of the Average Deferral Percentage of Nonhighly Compensated Employees or (B) the Average Deferral Percentage of Nonhighly Compensated Employees plus two percentage points.

 

4.7            Determination of Maximum Actual Deferral Percentage and Dollar Amount of Excess Contributions

 

The maximum Actual Deferral Percentage shall be determined by use of a leveling process, whereby the Aggregate 401(k) Contributions of the Highly Compensated Employee with the highest Actual Deferral Percentage are reduced to the extent required to (a) eliminate all Excess Contributions or (b) cause such Highly Compensated Employee’s Actual Deferral Percentage  to equal the Actual Deferral Percentage of the Highly Compensated Employee with the next-highest Actual Deferral Percentage.  Such leveling process shall be repeated until the average deferral percentage test is satisfied.

 

15



 

With regard to each Highly Compensated Employee whose Actual Deferral Percentage is in excess of the maximum permitted Actual Deferral Percentage, a dollar amount of Excess Contributions shall then be determined by subtracting the product of the maximum permitted Actual Deferral Percentage and the Highly Compensated Employee’s Section 414(s) Compensation from the Highly Compensated Employee’s Aggregate 401(k) Contributions.  The amounts shall then be aggregated to determine the total dollar amount of Excess Contributions.

 

4.8            Allocation of Excess Contributions to Highly Compensated Employees

 

Any Excess Contributions for a Plan Year shall be allocated to Highly Compensated Employees by use of a leveling process, whereby the Aggregate 401(k) Contributions of the Highly Compensated Employee with the highest dollar amount of Aggregate 401(k) Contributions are reduced to the extent required to (a) eliminate all Excess Contributions or (b) cause such Highly Compensated Employee’s Aggregate 401(k) Contributions to equal the Aggregate 401(k) Contributions of the Highly Compensated Employee with the next-highest Aggregate 401(k) Contributions.  Such leveling process shall be repeated until all Excess Contributions for such Plan Year are allocated to Highly Compensated Employees.

 

4.9            Distribution of Excess Contributions

 

Excess Contributions allocated to Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year pursuant to Section 4.8, together with any income or loss allocable to such Excess Contributions, shall be distributed to such Highly Compensated Employees not later than the March 15 next following the close of such Plan Year, if possible, and in any event no later than 12 months following the close of such Plan Year.  Any Salary Deferrals distributed pursuant to this Section 4.9 shall not be included in the Salary Deferrals that attract a Company Contribution under Section 5.2.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent Excess Contributions allocated to a Highly Compensated Employee for the Plan Year pursuant to Section 4.8 could otherwise constitute Age 50 Catch-Up Deferrals pursuant to Section 4.15, such Excess Contributions shall be recharacterized as Age 50 Catch-Up Deferrals for the Plan Year rather than be distributed to the Highly Compensated Employee as described above.

 

4.10          Qualified Company Contributions

 

The Company, in its sole discretion, may include all or a portion of the Company Contributions for a Plan Year in Aggregate 401(k) Contributions taken into account in applying the Average Deferral Percentage limitation described in Section 4.6 for such Plan Year, provided that the requirements of section 1.401(k)-2(a)(6) of the Income Tax Regulations are satisfied.

 

4.11          Special Rules

 

The following special rules shall apply for purposes of this Article 4:

16



 

previously distributed to such Member for the Plan Year ending within such calendar year;

 

(b)            The amount of Excess Contributions to be distributed to a Member for a Plan Year pursuant to Section 4.8 shall be reduced by the amount of any Excess Deferrals previously distributed to such Member for the calendar year ending with such Plan Year;

 

(c)            For purposes of applying the limitation described in Section 4.6, the Actual Deferral Percentage of any Highly Compensated Employee who is eligible to make Salary Deferrals and to make elective deferrals (within the meaning of section 402(g)(3) of the IRC) under any other plans, contracts or arrangements maintained by PACCAR Inc or any Subsidiary (as defined in Section 2.1(nn) without regard to the last sentence thereof) shall be determined as if all such Salary Deferrals and elective deferrals were made under a single arrangement (other than those plans that may not be permissively aggregated); provided, however, that if such plans have different plan years, the plans are aggregated with respect to contributions made within this Plan’s Plan Year only;

 

(d)            In the event that this Plan is aggregated with one or more other plans in order to satisfy the requirements of IRC section 401(a)(4), 401(k) or 410(b), then all such aggregated plans, including the Plan, shall be treated as a single plan for all purposes under all such IRC sections (except for purposes of the average benefit percentage provisions of IRC section 410(b)(2)(A)(ii));

 

(e)            In the event that the mandatory disaggregation rules of Treasury Regulation section 1.401(k)-1(b) apply to the Plan, or to the Plan and other plans with which it is aggregated as described in Subsection (d) above, then the limitation described in Section 4.6 shall be applied as if each mandatorily disaggregated portion of the Plan (or aggregated plans) were a single arrangement

 

(f)             Provided this limit is applied uniformly in determining the Average Deferral Percentage limitation for the Plan Year, the Company may limit Section 414(s) Compensation to the amount of such compensation paid to the Eligible Employee during the portion of the Plan Year that such Member was an Eligible Employee;

 

(g)            If the Plan permits participation in the 401(k) portion of the Plan prior to an Eligible Employee’s satisfaction of the minimum age and service requirements of section 410(a)(1)(A) of the IRC and if section 410(b)(4)(B) of the IRC is applied in determining whether the 401(k) portion of the Plan meets the requirements of section 410(b) of the IRC, then for purposes of performing the average deferral percentage test, the test may be performed separately with regard to Eligible Employees who have not met the minimum age and service requirements of section 410(a)(1)(A) of the IRC or, alternatively, Eligible Employees who have not met the minimum age and service requirements of section 410(a)(1)(A) of the IRC may instead be excluded in the determination of the Average Deferral Percentage for Nonhighly Compensated Employees, but not in the determination of the Average Deferral Percentage for Highly Compensated Employees; and

 

17



 

(h)            Income (and loss) allocable to Excess Contributions for the Plan Year shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation section 1.401(k)-2(b)(2)(iv)(C), and shall be determined for the period between the end of the Plan Year and the date of distribution of such Excess Contributions in accordance with Treasury Regulation section 1.401(k)-2(b)(2)(iv)(D).

 

4.12          Allocation of Salary Deferrals

An election under this Section 4.13 may be made at any time to be effective as soon as reasonably practicable after it is received by the Company.  Any election under this Section 4.13 shall be made in accordance with the Company’s written procedures.

 

4.14          Rollover Contributions
