Should Participant voluntarily terminate employment with the Employer before

becoming an Eligible Participant, then the Participant (and any person claiming

benefits for or on behalf of the Participant) will forfeit all rights to

the Agreement will not be considered a voluntary termination of employment

subject to this Section 2.2 of the Agreement.

 

2.3. VOLUNTARY TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT AFTER BECOMING AN ELIGIBLE PARTICIPANT

BUT BEFORE NORMAL RETIREMENT AGE. Should the Participant, once becoming an

Eligible Participant, voluntarily terminate service with the Employer before

Normal Retirement Age (i.e., for reasons other than Good Reason or those

described in Sections 2.4, 2.5 or 2.6 of the Agreement), he will be entitled to

the Reduced Retirement Benefit payable at his election in either of the

following forms. Should Participant fail to specifically elect a form of benefit

payment, a Lump Sum Distribution will be made to the Participant.

 

         (a) LUMP SUM DISTRIBUTION. An amount equal to the present value of the

         Participant's total Reduced Retirement Benefit shall be paid to the

         Participant in one lump sum distribution on the first business day of

         the second month following the Participant's termination of employment.

         For purposes of determining the present value of the Participant's

         total Reduced Retirement Benefit, the Discount Rate which exists on the

         date of the Participant's termination of employment shall be used.

 

         (b) PERIODIC DISTRIBUTION. An amount equal to the present value of the

         Participant's total Reduced Retirement Benefit shall be credited to an

         Installment Payment Account and shall be payable in up to 180

         successive monthly installments. The first payment shall commence on

         the first business day of the second month following the date of

         termination of employment, and each successive payment shall occur

         monthly in succeeding months on the first business day of such months.

 

         In order for Participant to elect a Periodic Distribution under the

         terms of this Section 2.3(b), the Participant must elect, in the

         taxable year (or years) prior to the Participant's termination of

         employment with the Employer, both the Periodic Distribution option and

         the number of monthly installments to be made (up to a maximum of 180).

 

         For purposes of determining the present value of the Participant's

         total Reduced Retirement Benefit, the Discount Rate which exists on the

         date of the Participant's termination of employment shall be used. To

         determine the amount of each installment payment, a fraction shall be

         applied to the Participant's Installment Payment Account on each

         payment date. The numerator shall consist of one (1) and the

         denominator shall consist of the total number of installment payments

         remaining (including the current payment). During the installment

         payment period, interest shall be credited to the Participant's

         Installment Payment Account on a monthly basis using the Applicable

         Federal Rate in existence on the first business day of each month

         during which payments are made.

Retirement Benefit, without regard to the Participant's age or years of service

at the time of involuntary termination of employment. The Normal Retirement

Benefit will be payable in one of the distribution forms described in Sections

2.3(a) and (b) of the Agreement.

 

For purposes of calculating the Normal Retirement Benefit under this Section

2.5, Participant's Final Average Earnings shall be that amount at the date of

termination of employment increased at the Average Base Salary Increase Rate,

compounded annually, for the number of years (carried to two (2) decimal places)

needed to reach the Participant's age 65 birthday.

 

2.6. INVOLUNTARY TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT FOLLOWING A CHANGE IN CONTROL. Should

a Change in Control occur, Participant will be entitled to the Normal Retirement

Benefit following termination of employment (for whatever reason), without

regard to the Participant's age or years of service at the time of involuntary

termination of employment and without regard to whether the Participant has

become an Eligible Participant. The Normal Retirement Benefit will be payable in

accordance with the distribution forms described in Sections 2.7(a) and (b) of

the Agreement.

 

For purposes of calculating the Normal Retirement Benefit under this Section

2.6, Participant's Final Average Earnings shall be that amount at the date of

needed to reach the Participant's age 65 birthday.

         Participant's total Normal Retirement Benefit shall be paid to the

         Participant in one lump sum distribution on the first business day of

         the second month following the Participant's termination of employment.

         For purposes of determining the present value of the Participant's

         total Normal Retirement Benefit, the Discount Rate which exists on the

         date of the Participant's termination of employment shall be used.

 

         (b) PERIODIC DISTRIBUTION. An amount equal to the present value of the

         Participant's total Normal Retirement Benefit shall be credited to an

<PAGE>

 

         Installment Payment Account and shall be payable in up to 180

         successive monthly installments. The first payment shall commence on

          the first business day of the second month following the date of

         termination of employment, and each successive payment shall occur

         monthly in succeeding months on the first business day of such months.

 

         In order for Participant to elect a Periodic Distribution under the

         applied to the Participant's Installment Payment Account on each

         payment date. The numerator shall consist of one (1) and the

         denominator shall consist of the total number of installment payments

         remaining (including the current payment). During the installment

         payment period, interest shall be credited to the Participant's

         Installment Payment Account on a monthly basis using the Applicable

         Federal Rate in existence on the first business day of each month

         during which payments are made.

becoming a Former Eligible Participant and after the commencement of Normal

Retirement or Reduced Retirement Benefit payments to the Participant, then any

remaining payments will be made to the Participant's Beneficiary in the same

form being made to the Participant at the date of his death. Alternatively, at

the Beneficiaries election (with the consent of the Employer), payment may be

made in a lump sum payment as follows: an amount equal to the present value of

the remaining payments shall be paid on the first business day of the second

month following the Participant's date of death, and for purposes of determining

the present value of the remaining payments, the Discount Rate which exists on

the date of the Participant's date of death shall be used.
