sentence, a Member may not elect an Annuity Starting Date that precedes his receipt of the required notice referred to in this paragraph (b):

(c)

Timing of Election. An election of an optional form shall be made on a form provided by the Retirement Committee and may be made at any time during the period beginning on the date the Member receives the notice and ending on the Member’s Annuity Starting Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an election received after the Annuity Starting Date shall be deemed to have been made within the election period if (i) the written explanation described in paragraph (b) is provided to the Member at least 30 days before the Annuity Starting Date, (ii) the Member’s election is made and notarized before the Annuity Starting Date, and (iii) the Member’s completed election form is received by the Retirement Committee within 90 days after the date the written explanation is provided to the Member.

Graphic Packaging Retirement Plan Core Document 12-15-09 10

(iv)	payment does not commence sooner than seven days following the day after the notice is received by the Member, nor more than 90 days following the day after the notice is received by the Member (except that the 90-day period may be extended due to administrative delay); and
(v)	in the event a Member elects an Annuity Starting Date that precedes the date he received the notice (the “retroactive Annuity Starting Date”) under the provisions of paragraph (b) above, the following requirements are met:

(A)	with respect to an election made by a Member who is involuntarily terminated by the Employer, the retroactive Annuity Starting Date is within the 120-day period following the Member’s termination of employment with the Employer and all Affiliated Employers;
(B)	the Member’s benefit, including any interest adjustment, must satisfy the provisions of Section 415 of the Code, both at the retroactive Annuity Starting Date and at the actual commencement date, except that if the form of payment is not subject to the provisions of Section 417(e)(3) of the Code and payments commence within 12 months of the Member’s retroactive Annuity Starting Date, the provisions of Section 415 of the Code need only be satisfied as of the retroactive Annuity Starting Date;
(C)	if payment is made in the form of an annuity that is not subject to the provisions of Section 417(e)(3) of the Code, a payment equal in amount to the sum of the monthly payments that the Member would have received during the period commencing on his retroactive Annuity Starting Date and ending with the month preceding his actual commencement date, plus interest at the rate of 120 percent of the mid-term Applicable Federal Rate for the first month of the applicable Plan Year, compounded annually, shall be paid to the Member on his actual commencement date;
(D)	Spousal Consent to the retroactive Annuity Starting Date is required for such election to be effective unless:

(I)	the amount of the survivor annuity payable to the Spouse determined as of the retroactive Annuity Starting Date under the form elected by the Member is no less than the amount the Spouse would have received under the Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity (as defined in the applicable Appendix) if the date payments commence were substituted for the retroactive Annuity Starting Date; or
(II)	the Member’s Spouse on his retroactive Annuity Starting Date is not his Spouse on his actual commencement date

Graphic Packaging Retirement Plan Core Document 12-15-09 11

and is not treated as his Spouse under a qualified domestic relations order; and

(E) if the Member elects payment in the form of payment subject to the provisions of Section 417(e)(3):

(I)	the monthly amount shall not be less than the amount that would have been paid in the same form on the retroactive Annuity Starting Date if the benefit amount had been calculated using the IRS Interest Rate and the IRS Mortality Table in effect on the actual commencement date; and
(II)	interest shall be credited in the same manner as described under clause (C) above.

(d) Revocation of Election. An election of an option under the applicable Appendix may be revoked on a form provided by the Retirement Committee, and subsequent elections and revocations may be made at any time during the election period described above. An election of an optional benefit shall be effective on the Member’s Annuity Starting Date and may not be modified after his Annuity Starting Date unless otherwise provided in paragraph (c) above. A revocation of any election shall be effective when the completed form is timely filed with the Retirement Committee. If a Member who has elected an optional benefit dies before his Annuity Starting Date (or before the date the election of the option becomes effective under paragraph (c)(iii) above, if later), the election shall be revoked. If the Beneficiary designated under an option dies before the Member’s Annuity Starting Date (or before the date the election of the option becomes effective under paragraph (c)(iii) above, if later), the election shall be revoked.

2.4 Beneficiary Designations

(a)

Designation. Each Member may designate a primary beneficiary and a contingent beneficiary to receive a death benefit that may become payable under this Plan other than a death benefit payable only to a surviving Spouse. A designation of anyone other than the Spouse as the sole Beneficiary shall not be effective unless the Spouse consents in a writing that is witnessed by a notary public or Plan representative. Beneficiary designations shall be made on forms furnished by the Retirement Committee and shall become effective only when filed with the Retirement Committee. Except as otherwise provided in the applicable Appendix, if the Member survives all primary and contingent Beneficiaries or if the Member dies without a valid beneficiary designation, any death benefits shall be paid to his surviving Spouse, or if none, to his estate.

(b)

Proof of Death. A copy of the Member’s death certificate shall be sufficient proof of death for purposes of this Plan, and the Retirement Committee shall be fully protected in relying thereon. In the absence of a death certificate, the Retirement

Graphic Packaging Retirement Plan Core Document 12-15-09 12

	Committee may rely on such other evidence of death as it deems necessary or appropriate.
(c)	120-Hour Survival Requirement. A Beneficiary who does not survive the Member by at least 120 hours shall be deemed to have predeceased the Member. Any benefit payable to such Beneficiary shall be paid to the next designated Beneficiary, or if there is no Beneficiary shall be paid pursuant to paragraph (a) above.

2.5 Pension Payout Rules

(a)

Commencement of Payment. Except as otherwise provided in the applicable Appendix, payment of a Member’s Pension shall begin as soon as administratively practicable following the later of (i) the Member’s 65th birthday, or (ii) the date he terminates service with the Employer and all Affiliated Employers (but not more than 60 days after the close of the Plan Year in which the later of (i) or (ii) occurs).

(b)

Mandatory Distribution Under Section 401(a)(9) of the Code. Notwithstanding any provisions of the Plan to the contrary, a Member’s Pension shall commence no later than his Required Beginning Date.

2.6

Distribution Limitation

Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan, all distributions from the Plan shall conform to the regulations issued under Section 401(a)(9) of the Code, including the incidental death benefit provisions of Section 401(a)(9) of the Code. Further, such regulations shall override any Plan provision that is inconsistent with Section 401(a)(9) of the Code. If a Member dies after Pension payments have commenced, any payments continuing on to his Spouse or Beneficiary shall be distributed at least as rapidly as under the method of distribution being used as of the Member’s date of death. With respect to distributions under the Plan made on or after January 1, 2001 (“New Reg Effective Date”) for calendar years beginning on or after January 1, 2001 and prior to January 1, 2006, the Plan will apply the minimum distribution requirements of Section 401(a)(9) of the Code in accordance with the regulations under Section 401(a)(9) of the Code that were proposed on January 17, 2001 (the “2001 Proposed Regulations”), notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary. If the total amount of required minimum distributions made to a Member for 2001 prior to the New Reg Effective Date are equal to or greater than the amount of required minimum distributions determined under the 2001 Proposed Regulations, then no additional distributions are required for such Member for 2001 on or after such date. If the total amount of required minimum distributions made to a Member for 2001 prior to the New Reg Effective Date are less than the amount determined under the 2001 Proposed Regulations, then the amount of required minimum distributions for 2001 on or after such date will be determined so that the total amount of required minimum distributions for 2001 is the amount determined under the 2001 Proposed Regulations.

Graphic Packaging Retirement Plan Core Document 12-15-09 13

With respect to Pensions commencing on or after January 1, 2006, the following rules shall apply:

(a)	Any additional benefits accruing to a Member in a calendar year after the first distribution calendar year will be distributed beginning as of the first payment interval ending in the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which such amounts accrue.
(b)	If a Member’s Pension is being distributed in the form of a joint and survivor annuity for the joint lives of the Member and a non-Spouse Beneficiary, annuity payments to be made on or after the Member’s Required Beginning Date to the Beneficiary after the Member’s death must not at any time exceed the applicable percentage of the annuity payment for such period that would have been payable to the Member using the table set forth in Q&A-2 of Section 1.401(a)(9)-6 of the U.S. Treasury Department regulations. If the Annuity Starting Date occurs in a calendar year which precedes the calendar year in which the Member reaches age 70, in determining the applicable percentage, the Member/Beneficiary’s age difference is reduced by the number of years that the Member is younger than age 70 on the Member’s birthday in the calendar year that contains the Annuity Starting Date.
(c)	If the Member’s Pension is being distributed in the form of a period certain and life annuity option, the period certain may not exceed the applicable distribution period for the Member under the Uniform Lifetime Table set forth in Section 1.401(a)(9)-9 of the U. S. Treasury Department regulations for the calendar year that contains the Annuity Starting Date. If the Annuity Starting Date precedes the year in which the Member reaches age 70, the applicable distribution period for the Member is the distribution period for age 70 under the Uniform Lifetime Table set forth in Section 1.401(a)(9)-9 of the U. S. Treasury Department regulations plus the excess of 70 over the age of the Member as of the Member’s birthday in the year that contains the Annuity Starting Date.
(d)	For purposes of this Section, the following definitions shall apply:

(i)

“Beneficiary” means an individual other than the Member’s Spouse who is designated to receive survivor benefits under a joint and survivor annuity or a period certain annuity as an optional form of payment. Such Beneficiary shall constitute the designated beneficiary as such term is used under Section 401(a)(9) of the Code and Section 1.401(a)(9)-1, Q&A-4, of the U. S. Treasury Department regulations.

(ii)

“Distribution calendar year” means a calendar year for which a minimum distribution is required. For distributions beginning before a Member’s death, the first distribution calendar year is the calendar year immediately preceding the calendar year which contains the Member’s Required Beginning Date.

(iii) “Life expectancy” is life expectancy as computed using the Single Life Table in Section 1.401(a)(9)-9 of the U. S. Treasury Department regulations.

2.7 Suspension of Benefits

(a)	Suspension. Subject to the provisions of the applicable Appendix, a Member’s benefits shall, for purposes of this Section 2.7, be deemed to have been suspended for any month in which the Member remains employed after reaching his Normal Retirement Date and before reaching his Required Beginning Date.
	Upon subsequent retirement, the late retirement benefit payable with respect to any Member whose benefit has been suspended following his attainment of his Normal Retirement Date shall be an immediate benefit beginning as of the first day of the month following the Member’s late retirement date (unless the Member elects a later commencement date) and shall be equal to the greater of (i) the amount determined in accordance with the provisions of the applicable Appendix as of his late retirement date, or (ii) an amount which is of Equivalent Actuarial Value to the benefit to which the Member would have been entitled under the provisions of the applicable Appendix if he had retired on his Normal Retirement Date, recomputed as of the first day of each subsequent Plan Year (and as of his actual late retirement date) as if each such date were the Member’s late retirement date. The resulting retirement benefit shall then be reduced by the Equivalent Actuarial Value of any payments made with respect to the Member’s retirement benefit after his Normal Retirement Date. In the event the Member elects to defer payment beyond his late retirement date (but in no event later than his Required Beginning Date), the Member’s benefit shall be of Equivalent Actuarial Value to the benefit otherwise payable as of his late retirement date.
	Benefits of a Member in pay status shall be suspended if the Member is re-employed by the Employer or an Affiliated Employer but only for those calendar months in which he completes at least 40 Hours of Service as an Eligible Employee. Upon his subsequent retirement, his eligibility for a benefit and the amount of the benefit shall be determined and calculated as if he were then first retired. In no event shall such benefit be less than the benefit received by the Member upon his original retirement. The benefit, as so determined, shall be reduced actuarially for the amount of any benefits paid prior to his Normal Retirement Date by reason of the previous retirement. If any payment that could have been suspended under this Section is paid to the Member, subsequent benefit payments shall be offset by that amount; provided however, that except for any offset applied to the initial payment upon resumption of benefit payments, the offset will be spread over subsequent payments so that no single monthly benefit payment is reduced by more than 25%.
(b)	Amount Suspended. The amount suspended shall be an amount equal to the monthly benefit payment that would have otherwise been payable, but not more than would have been payable as a single life annuity.

Graphic Packaging Retirement Plan Core Document 12-15-09 15

(c)

Resumption of Payment. If benefit payments have been suspended, then, unless a Member elects a later commencement date pursuant to the provisions of the applicable Appendix, payments shall resume no later than the first day of the third calendar month in which the Employee ceases to be employed or, if earlier, the Employee’s Required Beginning Date. The initial payment upon resumption shall include (i) the payment scheduled to be made in the calendar month when payments resume and (ii) any amounts withheld during the period between the cessation of employment and the resumption of payments, less any offset provided under paragraph (a) above.

(d)

Exception; Waiver of Participation. A retired Member who is re-employed as an Eligible Employee may elect to waive participation in the Plan with the consent of his Spouse. All such waivers shall be in writing on a form furnished by the Retirement Committee, and all spousal consents shall satisfy the requirements of Section 2.3(a)(ii). Such a Member shall continue to receive his benefit payments and shall accrue no additional benefits under the Plan. A Member who has waived participation may later elect to participate if he then satisfies the requirements for participation by filing a written notice with the Retirement Committee. His benefit shall then be suspended under this Section 2.7 for each subsequent calendar month in which he completes at least 40 Hours of Service as an Eligible Employee.

2.8 Direct Rollovers

(a)

Elective Rollovers. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary that would otherwise limit a distributee’s election under this Section, a distributee may elect, at the time and in the manner prescribed by the Retirement Committee, to have any portion of an eligible rollover distribution paid directly to an eligible retirement plan specified by the distributee in a direct rollover.

(b)

Mandatory Rollovers. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, effective March 28, 2005 if the present value of the Member’s Accrued Benefit amounts to at least $1,000 but not more than $5,000, and if the Member fails to make an affirmative election to either receive the lump sum payment in cash or have it directly rolled over to an eligible retirement plan pursuant to the provisions of paragraph (a) within such election period as shall be prescribed by the Retirement Committee, the Retirement Committee shall direct the Trustee to transfer such lump sum payment to an individual retirement plan (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(37) of the Code) (“IRA”) selected by the Retirement Committee. The IRA shall be maintained for the exclusive benefit of the Member on whose behalf such transfer is made. The transfer shall occur as soon as practicable following the end of the election period. The funds in the IRA shall be invested in an investment product designed to preserve principal and provide a reasonable rate of return, whether or not such return is guaranteed, consistent with liquidity, as determined from time to time by the Retirement Committee. In implementing the provisions of this paragraph, the Retirement Committee shall:

ARTICLE 3. GOVERNMENTAL RESTRICTIONS

3.1	Maximum Annual Compensation Limitation
	In addition to other applicable limitations set forth in the Plan, and notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, the compensation taken into account for the appropriate time period shall not exceed the compensation limit in effect for the calendar year in which the time period begins. For Plan Years beginning before January 1, 1994, the compensation limit is $200,000, as adjusted by the Secretary of the Treasury for cost-of-living increases. For Plan Years beginning on or after January 1, 1994 and before January 1 2002, the annual compensation limit is $150,000, as adjusted by the Secretary of the Treasury for cost-of-living increases. For Plan Years beginning on and after January 1, 2002, the compensation limit is $200,000, as adjusted by the Secretary of the Treasury for cost-of-living increases. The cost-of-living adjustment in effect for a calendar year applies to any period, not exceeding 12 months, over which compensation is determined (determination period) beginning in such calendar year. If a determination period consists of fewer than 12 months, the annual compensation limit will be multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of months in the determination period, and the denominator of which is 12. Any reference in this Plan to the limitation under Section 401(a)(17) of the Code shall mean the annual compensation limit set forth in this provision. If compensation for any prior determination period is taken into account in determining an employee’s benefits accruing in the current Plan Year, the compensation for that prior determination period is subject to the annual compensation limit in effect for that prior determination period. For purposes of determining benefit accruals in a Plan Year beginning on or after January 1, 1994, but prior to January 1, 2002, compensation for any determination periods beginning prior to the first Plan Year beginning on or after January 1, 1994 shall be limited to the annual compensation limit of $150,000. For purposes of determining benefit accruals in Plan Years beginning on or after January 1, 2002, compensation for any determination periods beginning prior to January 1, 2002 shall be limited to the annual compensation limit of $200,000.
	Unless otherwise provided under the Plan, each Code Section 401(a)(17) employee’s accrued benefit under this Plan will be the greater of the accrued benefit determined for the employee under (a) or (b) below:

(a)	the employee’s accrued benefit determined with respect to the benefit formula applicable for the Plan Year beginning on or after January 1, 1994, as applied to the employee’s total years of service taken into account under the Plan for the purposes of benefit accruals, or
(b)	the sum of:

(i) the employee’s accrued benefit as of the last day of the last Plan Year beginning before January 1, 1994, frozen in accordance with Treas. Reg. § 1.401(a)(4)-13, and

Graphic Packaging Retirement Plan Core Document 12-15-09 20

(ii) the employee’s accrued benefit determined under the benefit formula applicable for the Plan Year beginning on or after January 1, 1994, as applied to the employee’s years of service credited to the employee for Plan Years beginning on or after January 1, 1994, for purposes of benefit accruals.

	A Code Section 401(a)(17) employee means an employee whose current accrued benefits as of a date on or after the first day of the first Plan Year beginning on or after January 1, 1994, is based on compensation for a year beginning prior to the first day of the first Plan Year beginning on or after January 1, 1994, that exceeded $150,000.
3.2	Code Section 415 Limitations—Maximum Annual Pension

(a)	Maximum Pension. Notwithstanding any provisions of the Plan to the contrary, the benefits accrued by and payable to or on behalf of a Member under the Plan shall be subject to the maximum limitations set forth in Section 415 of the Code and any regulations or rulings issued thereunder. The increased limitations of Section 415(b) of the Code effective on and after January 1, 2002 shall apply to all current and former Members (with benefits limited by Section 415(b) of the Code) who have an Accrued Benefit under the Plan immediately prior to January 1, 2002 (other than an Accrued Benefit resulting from a benefit increase solely as a result of the increases in limitations under Section 415(b) of the Code) and whose Annuity Starting Date occurs on or after January 1, 2002.
(b)	Adjustment of Benefit and Maximum Dollar Limitation. If the benefit payable under the Plan would (but for this Section) exceed the limitations of Section 415 of the Code by reason of a benefit payable under another defined benefit plan aggregated with this Plan under Section 415(f) of the Code, the benefit under this Plan shall be reduced only after all reductions have been made under such other plan. As of January 1 of each calendar year beginning on or after January 1, 2002, the maximum dollar limitation shall be adjusted as indexed. Such adjustment of the maximum dollar limitation shall not apply to retired Members.
(c)	Limitation Year. For purposes of this Section 3.2, the limitation year shall be the calendar year.
(d)	Definition of Compensation. The term “compensation” for purposes of applying the applicable limitations under Section 415 of the Code with respect to any Member shall mean Statutory Compensation.

(iv)	“Key Employee” means any employee or former employee (including any deceased employee) who at any time during the Plan Year that includes the applicable determination date was an officer of the Employer or an Affiliated Employer having Statutory Compensation greater than $130,000 (as adjusted under Section 416(i)(1) of the Code for Plan Years beginning after December 31, 2002), a 5-percent owner (as defined in Section 416(i)(1)(B)(i) of the Code) of the Employer or an Affiliated Employer, or a 1-percent owner (as defined in Section 416(i)(1)(B)(ii) of the Code) of the Employer or an Affiliated Employer having Statutory Compensation greater than $150,000 (the determination of who is a key employee shall be made in accordance with Section 416(i) of the Code and the applicable regulations and other guidance of general applicability issued thereunder);
(v)	“Non-Key Employee” means any employee who is not a Key Employee;
(vi)	“Permissive Aggregation Group” means each plan in the Required Aggregation Group and any other qualified plan(s) of the Employer or an Affiliated Employer in which all members are non-key employees, if the resulting aggregation group continues to meet the requirements of Sections 401(a)(4) and 410 of the Code.
(vii)	“Required Aggregation Group” means each other qualified plan of the Employer or an Affiliated Employer (including plans that terminated within the five-year period ending on the determination date) in which there are members who are key employees or which enables the Plan to meet the requirements of Section 401(a)(4) or 410 of the Code; and
(viii)	“Top-Heavy Ratio” means the ratio of (A) the present value of the cumulative Accrued Benefits under the Plan for key employees to (B) the present value of the cumulative Accrued Benefits under the Plan for all key employees and non-key employees; provided, however, that if an individual has not performed services for the Employer or any Affiliated Employer at any time during the one-year period ending on the applicable determination date, any accrued benefit for such individual (and the account of such individual) shall not be taken into account; and provided further, that the present values of Accrued Benefits under the Plan for an

Graphic Packaging Retirement Plan Core Document 12-15-09 22

employee as of the applicable determination date shall be increased by the distributions made with respect to the employee under the Plan and any plan aggregated with the Plan under Section 416(g)(2) of the Code during the one-year period (five-year period in the case of a distribution made for a reason other than severance from employment, death, or disability) ending on the applicable determination date and any distributions made with respect to the employee under a terminated plan which, had it not been terminated, would have been in the required aggregation group.

(b) Determination of Top Heavy Status.

(i)	The Plan shall be “top-heavy” if, as of the Applicable Determination Date, the Top-Heavy Ratio exceeds 60 percent. The Top-Heavy Ratio shall be determined as of the Applicable Valuation Date in accordance with Sections 416(g)(3) and (4)(B) of the Code on the basis of the interest rate and mortality table used in the actuarial valuation for the Plan for the applicable Plan Year.
(ii)	For purposes of determining whether the Plan is top-heavy, the present value of accrued benefits under the Plan will be combined with the present value of accrued benefits or account balances under each other plan in the Required Aggregation Group. In the Employer’s discretion, accrued benefits or account balances under each plan in the Required Aggregation Group may be combined with the present value of accrued benefits or account balances under any other qualified plan(s) in the Permissive Aggregation Group.
(iii)	The accrued benefit of a Non-Key Employee under the Plan or any other defined benefit plan in the aggregation group shall be:

(A)	determined under the method, if any, that uniformly applies for accrual purposes under all plans maintained by the Employer or an Affiliated Employer, or
(B)	if there is no such method, as if such benefit accrued not more rapidly than the slowest accrual rate permitted under the fractional rule described in Section 411(b)(1)(C) of the Code.

(c) Consequences of Being Top Heavy. The following provisions shall be applicable to Members of Appendix 1 for any calendar year with respect to which the Plan is top-heavy:

(i) In lieu of the vesting requirements specified in Appendix 1, a Member shall be vested in, and have a nonforfeitable right to, a percentage of his Accrued Benefit determined in accordance with the provisions of Appendix 1 and subparagraph (ii) below, as set forth in the following vesting schedule:

Graphic Packaging Retirement Plan Core Document 12-15-09 23

Years of Vesting Service	Percentage Vested

(ii) The Accrued Benefit of a Member under Appendix 1 who is a Non-Key Employee shall not be less than two percent of his Average Statutory Compensation multiplied by the number of years of his Vesting Service, during the calendar years for which the Plan is top-heavy, but not in excess of 10. For purposes of the preceding sentence, years of Vesting Service shall be disregarded to the extent that such years of Vesting Service occur during a Plan Year when the Plan benefits (within the meaning of Section 410(b) of the Code) no key employee or former key employee. Such minimum benefit shall be payable at a Member’s Normal Retirement Date. If payments commence at a time other than the Member’s Normal Retirement Date, the minimum Accrued Benefit shall be of Equivalent Actuarial Value to such minimum benefit.

(d) Cessation of Top Heavy Status. If the Plan is top-heavy with respect to a Plan Year and ceases to be top-heavy for a subsequent Plan Year, the following provisions shall be applicable:

(i)	The Accrued Benefit in any such subsequent Plan Year shall not be less than the minimum Accrued Benefit provided in subparagraph (c)(ii) above, computed as of the end of the most recent Plan Year for which the Plan was top-heavy.
(ii)	If a Member has completed three years of Vesting Service on or before the last day of the most recent Plan Year for which the Plan was top-heavy, the vesting schedule set forth in subparagraph (c)(i) above shall continue to be applicable.
(iii)	If a Member has completed less than three years of Vesting Service on or before the last day of the most recent Plan Year for which the Plan was top-heavy, the vesting provisions of subparagraph (c)(i) shall continue to be applicable to the portion of his Accrued Benefit determined as of the last day of the Plan Year in which the Plan was top-heavy, and Section 5.5 of Appendix 1 shall again be applicable with respect to the remaining portion of his Accrued Benefit; provided, however, that in no event shall the vested percentage of such remaining portion be less than the percentage determined under subparagraph (c)(i) above as of the last day of the most recent Plan Year for which the Plan was top-heavy.

However, the Member must agree to repay to the Plan any portion of the lump sum payment which would otherwise be restricted and must provide adequate security to guarantee that repayment in accordance with rules established by the Internal Revenue Service.

(d)

Termination of Plan. Notwithstanding the above, in the event the Plan is terminated, the restrictions of this Section shall not be applicable if the benefits payable to any Highly Compensated Employee and any Highly Compensated Former Employee is limited to a benefit that is nondiscriminatory under Section 401(a)(4) of the Code.

Graphic Packaging Retirement Plan Core Document 12-15-09 25

(A)	was a 5-percent owner (as defined in Section 416(i) of the Code) for such Plan Year or the prior Plan Year; or
(B)	for the preceding Plan Year received Statutory Compensation in excess of $80,000, and was among the highest 20 percent of employees for the preceding Plan Year when ranked by Statutory Compensation paid for that year excluding, for purposes of determining the number of such employees, such employees as the Retirement Committee may determine on a consistent basis pursuant to Section 414(q) of the Code. The $80,000 dollar amount in the preceding sentence shall be adjusted from time to time for cost of living in accordance with Section 414(q) of the Code.
	Notwithstanding the foregoing, employees who are nonresident aliens and who receive no earned income from the Employer or an Affiliated Employer which constitutes income from sources within the United States shall be disregarded for all purposes of this Section.
	The Employer’s top-paid election as described above, shall be used consistently in determining Highly Compensated Employees for determination years of all employee benefit plans of the Employer and Affiliated Employers for which Section 414(q) of the Code applies (other than a multiemployer plan) that begin with or within the same calendar year, until such election is changed by Plan amendment in accordance with IRS requirements. The $80,000 dollar amount in the preceding sentence shall be adjusted from time to time for cost of living in accordance with Section 414(q) of the Code.

	The provisions of this Section shall be further subject to such additional requirements as shall be described in Section 414(q) of the Code and its applicable regulations, which shall override any aspects of this Section inconsistent therewith.
(ii)	“Highly Compensated Former Employee” means for a Plan Year any former employee of the Employer or an Affiliated Employer who had terminated employment prior to the Plan Year and who was a Highly

(f) When This Section is Ineffective. If it should subsequently be determined by statute, court decision acquiesced in by the Commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service, or ruling by the Commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service, that the provisions of this Section are no longer necessary to qualify the Plan under the Code, this Section shall be ineffective without the necessity of further amendment to the Plan.

	The general administration of the Plan and the responsibility for carrying out the provisions of the Plan shall be placed in a Retirement Committee of not less than three nor more than seven persons appointed from time to time by the Board of Directors to serve at the discretion of the Board of Directors. Any person who is appointed a member of the Retirement Committee shall signify his acceptance by filing written acceptance with the Board of Directors and the Secretary of the Retirement Committee. Any member of the Retirement Committee may resign by delivering a written resignation to the Board of Directors and the Secretary of the Retirement Committee.

	The members of the Retirement Committee shall elect a Chairperson from their number and a Secretary who may be, but need not be, one of the members of the Retirement Committee; may appoint from their number such subcommittees with such powers as they shall determine; may authorize one or more of their number or any agent to execute or deliver any instrument or make any payment on their behalf; may retain counsel, employ agents and provide for such clerical, accounting, consulting and actuarial services as they may require in carrying out the provisions of the Plan; and may allocate among themselves or delegate to other persons all or such portion of their duties under the Plan as they, in their sole discretion, shall decide.
5.3	Meetings
	The Retirement Committee shall hold meetings upon such notice, at such place or places, and at such times as it may from time to time determine.
5.4	Majority to Govern
	Any act which the Plan authorizes or requires the Retirement Committee to do may be done by a majority of its members. The action of such majority expressed from time to time by a vote at a meeting shall constitute the action of the Retirement Committee, and shall have the same effect for all purposes as if assented to by all members of the Retirement Committee serving at the time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any action taken by the Retirement Committee in writing without a meeting shall require the unanimous written consent by all members of the Retirement Committee at the time in office.

5.6	Authority of Retirement Committee
	Subject to the limitations of the Plan, the Retirement Committee shall establish rules for the administration of the Plan and the transaction of its business.

The Retirement Committee shall submit a report periodically to the Board of Directors giving the status of the Fund regarding the satisfaction of the investment objectives.
	The Retirement Committee shall have discretionary authority to determine eligibility for benefits and to construe the terms of the Plan, which shall include, but not be limited to, determination of:

(b)	the right to and amount of any benefit payable under the Plan, and
(c)	the date on which any individual ceases to be a Member.

	The Retirement Committee shall have discretionary authority to decide disputed claims in accordance with its interpretation of the terms of the Plan. The determination of the Retirement Committee as to any disputed question or claim shall be conclusive and final.
5.7	Prudent Conduct
	The members of the Retirement Committee shall use that degree of care, skill, prudence and diligence that a prudent person acting in a like capacity and familiar with such matters would use in the conduct of a similar situation.
5.8	Actuary
	The Retirement Committee shall maintain such data as may be necessary for actuarial valuations of the liabilities of the Plan. At the request of the Board of Directors, the Retirement Committee shall submit a report each year to the Board of Directors, giving a brief account of the operation of the Plan during the past year, and a copy of that report shall be filed in the office of the Plan, where it shall be open to inspection by any Member of the Plan.

However, this limitation shall not act to relieve any such individual or the Employer from a responsibility or liability for any breach of fiduciary responsibility, obligation or duty under Part 4, Title I of ERISA.
5.11	Indemnification
	The Employer, the members of the Retirement Committee, the Board of Directors, and the officers, employees and agents of the Employer shall be indemnified against any and all liabilities arising by reason of any act, or failure to act, in relation to the Plan or the Funds of the Plan, including, without limitation, expenses reasonably incurred in the defense of any claim relating to the Plan or the Funds of the Plan, and any and all amounts paid in any compromise or settlement relating to the Plan or the Funds of the Plan, except for actions or failures to act made in bad faith.

ARTICLE 6. MANAGEMENT OF FUNDS

6.1	Trustee
	All the Funds of the Plan shall be held by a Trustee, or Trustees, appointed from time to time by the Retirement Committee under a Trust Agreement adopted, or as amended, by the Retirement Committee for use in providing the benefits of the Plan and paying its expenses not paid directly by the Employer.

6.2	Exclusive Benefit Rule
	Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, no part of the corpus or income of the Funds of the Plan shall be used for, or diverted to, purposes other than for the exclusive benefit of Members and other persons entitled to benefits under the Plan, before the satisfaction of all liabilities with respect to them. No person shall have any interest in, or right to, any part of the earnings of the Funds of the Plan, or any interest in, or right to, any part of the assets held under the Plan, except as and to the extent expressly provided in the Plan.
6.3	Appointment of Investment Manager
	Except as provided in this Section 6.3, the Trustee shall have the power and authority to manage and invest the assets of the trust. The Retirement Committee may, at its discretion, appoint one or more investment managers (within the meaning of Section 3(38) of ERISA) to manage (including the power to acquire and dispose of) all or part of the assets of the Plan, as the Retirement Committee shall designate.

ARTICLE 7. GENERAL PROVISIONS

7.1 Nonalienation and Qualified Domestic Relations Orders

(a) Except as required by any applicable law or paragraphs (b) and (c) below, no benefit under the Plan shall in any manner be anticipated, assigned or alienated, and any attempt to do so shall be void. However, payment shall be made in accordance with the provisions of any judgment, decree, or order which meets the following conditions:

(i)	creates for, or assigns to, an alternate payee the right to receive all or a portion of the Member’s benefits under the Plan for the purpose of providing child support, alimony payments or marital property rights to that alternate payee;
(ii)	is made pursuant to a state domestic relations law;
(iii)	does not require the Plan to provide any type of benefit, or any option, not otherwise provided under the Plan; and
(iv)	otherwise meets the requirements of Section 206(d) of ERISA, as amended, as a “qualified domestic relations order (QDRO),” as determined by the Retirement Committee.

In determining the benefit payable to the alternate payee, the portion of the Member’s benefit payable to the alternate payee at the date that benefits are scheduled to commence under the QDRO shall be actuarially adjusted to reflect the difference in ages between the Member and the alternate payee. The actuarial adjustment for this purpose, as well as for the purpose of determining the Equivalent Actuarial Value of a benefit commencing prior to the Member’s Normal Retirement Date, if applicable, shall be based on the interest rate and mortality table specified in the applicable Appendix for purposes of converting a life annuity to an optional form of annuity (other than a level income option) under the terms of the Plan in effect on the alternate payee’s Annuity Starting Date. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the present value of any series of payments meeting the criteria set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) above amounts to $5,000 or less, a lump sum payment of Equivalent Actuarial Value, shall be made in lieu of the series of payments. Such Equivalent Actuarial Value shall be determined on the basis of the IRS Interest Rate and the IRS Mortality Table.

For purposes of the Plan,an “alternate payee” means a spouse, former spouse, child or dependent of a Member who is entitled, pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order and the provisions of this paragraph (a), to receive a payment of all or a portion of a Member’s Accrued Benefit under the Plan.

Graphic Packaging Retirement Plan Core Document 12-15-09 34

(b)	A Member’s Pension under the Plan shall be offset by the amount the Member is required to pay to the Plan under the circumstances set forth in Section 401(a)(13)(C) of the Code.
(c)	A Member’s Pension under the Plan shall be distributed as required because of the enforcement of a federal tax levy made pursuant to Section 6331 of the Code or the collection by the United States on a judgment resulting from an unpaid tax assessment.

7.2	Conditions of Employment Not Affected by Plan
	The establishment of the Plan shall not confer upon any Employee or other person any legal rights to a continuation of employment, nor shall it interfere with the rights of the Employer to discharge any Employee or to treat him without regard to the effect which that treatment might have upon him as a Member or potential Member of the Plan.
7.3	Facility of Payment
	If the Retirement Committee shall find that a Member or other person entitled to a benefit is unable to care for his affairs because of illness or accident, or because he is a minor, the Retirement Committee may direct that any benefit due him (unless claim shall have been made for the benefit by a duly appointed legal representative) be paid to his Spouse, child, parent or other blood relative, or to a person with whom he resides. Any payment so made shall be a complete discharge of the liabilities of the Plan for that benefit.
7.4	Information
	Each Member or other person entitled to a benefit, before any benefit shall be payable to him or on his account under the Plan, shall file with the Employer the information that it shall require to establish his rights and benefits under the Plan.
7.5	Construction

(a)	The Plan shall be construed, regulated and administered under ERISA, as in effect from time to time, and the laws of Georgia, except where ERISA controls.
(b)	The masculine pronoun shall include the feminine.
(c)	The titles and headings of the articles and sections in the Plan are for convenience only. In case of ambiguity or inconsistency, the text rather than the titles or headings shall control.
(d)	The Retirement Committee shall have full power and authority, subject to such orders or resolutions not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan as may from time to time be issued or adopted by the Board of Directors, to interpret the provisions and supervise the administration of the Plan, including the power to remedy possible ambiguities, inconsistencies or omissions. Such determinations shall be conclusive.

Graphic Packaging Retirement Plan Core Document 12-15-09 35

7.6	Prevention of Escheat
	If the Retirement Committee cannot ascertain the whereabouts of any person to whom a payment is due under the Plan, the Retirement Committee may, no earlier than three years from the date such payment is due, mail a notice of such due and owing payment to the last known address of such person as shown on the records of the Retirement Committee or the Employer. If such person has not made written claim for payment within three months of the date of the mailing, the Retirement Committee may, if it so elects and upon receiving advice from counsel to the Plan, direct that such payment and all remaining payments otherwise due such person be canceled on the records of the Plan and the amount thereof applied to reduce the contributions of the Employer. Upon such cancellation, the Plan shall have no further liability therefor except that, in the event such person or his beneficiary later notifies the Retirement Committee of his whereabouts and requests the payment or payments due to him under the Plan, the amount so applied shall be paid to him in accordance with the provisions of the Plan.
7.7	Electronic Transmission of Notices to Members
	Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, any notice required to be distributed to Members, Beneficiaries, and alternate payees pursuant to the terms of the Plan may, at the direction of the Retirement Committee, be transmitted electronically to the extent permitted by, and in accordance with any procedures set forth in, applicable law and regulations.
7.8	Limitation on Benefits In the Event of a Liquidity Shortfall
	Notwithstanding any provisions of the Plan to the contrary, in the event the Plan has a liquidity shortfall within the meaning of Section 401(a)(32) of the Code, the Trustee shall, as directed by the Employer, cease payment during the period of such liquidity shortfall of (a) any payment in excess of the monthly amount payable under a single life annuity (plus any social security supplements described in Section 411(a)(9) of the Code) to any Member or Beneficiary whose Annuity Starting Date occurs during such period, (b) any payment for the purchase of an irrevocable commitment from an insurer to pay benefits, or (c) any other payment specified in regulations promulgated under Section 401(a)(32) of the Code.
7.9	Limitation Based on Funded Status of the Plan
	Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, the following provisions shall apply as required by Section 436 of the Code effective for Plan Years beginning on or after January 1, 2010, except to the extent the exception under Section 436(d)(4) of the Code applies:

(a) In the event the Plan’s adjusted funding target attainment percentage for a Plan Year is less than 60 percent, benefit accruals shall cease during the period benefit accruals are restricted under the provisions of Section 436(e) of the Code. The benefit accruals that were not permitted to accrue pursuant to the application of the provisions of the preceding sentence shall be restored automatically as of the 436

Graphic Packaging Retirement Plan Core Document 12-15-09 36

	measurement date the limitations under Section 436(e) of the Code cease to apply, if (i) the continuous period of the limitation is 12 months or less, and (ii) the Plan’s enrolled actuary certifies that the adjusted funding target attainment percentage for the Plan would not be less than 60 percent taking into account the restored benefit accruals for the prior Plan Year.
(b)	In the event the Plan’s adjusted funding target attainment percentage for a Plan Year falls below the threshold defined under Section 436(d)(1) and/or (3) of the Code, the Trustee shall, as directed by the Retirement Committee, cease payment of any prohibited payment during the period specified in, and to the extent necessary to comply with the provisions of Section 436(d) of the Code.
(c)	In no event shall a prohibited payment be paid during any period the Employer is a debtor in a case under Title 11, United States Code, or similar federal or state law, to the extent necessary to comply with the provisions of Section 436(d)(2) of the Code.
(d)	In no event shall an amendment that has the effect of increasing liabilities of the Plan by reason of increases in benefits, establishment of new benefits, changing the rate of benefit accrual, or changing the rate at which benefits become nonforfeitable become effective during the period such amendment would violate the provisions of Section 436(c) of the Code.
(e)	If an optional form of benefit that is otherwise available under the terms of the Plan is not available because of the application of Section 436(d)(1) or (2) of the Code, the Member or Beneficiary, as applicable, shall be eligible to elect another form of benefit available under the Plan or to defer payment to a later date (to the extent permitted under applicable qualification requirements).
(f)	If an optional form of benefit that is otherwise available under the terms of the Plan is not available because of the application of Section 436(d)(3) of the Code, a Member or Beneficiary, as applicable, shall be eligible to defer his entire payment to a later date (to the extent permitted under applicable qualification requirements) or to bifurcate the benefit into unrestricted and restricted portions. If a Member or Beneficiary elects to bifurcate the benefit, the Member or Beneficiary shall be eligible to elect, with respect to the unrestricted portion of the benefit, any optional form otherwise available under the Plan with respect to the Member’s or Beneficiary’s entire benefit and in such a case, if the Member or Beneficiary elects payment of the unrestricted portion of the benefit in the form of a prohibited payment, the Member or Beneficiary shall be eligible to elect to receive payment of the restricted portion of the benefit in any optional form of benefit under the Plan that is not a prohibited payment and that would have been permitted with respect to the Member’s or Beneficiary’s entire benefit.

For purposes of this Section, the terms “adjusted funding target attainment percentage,” “prohibited payment,” “unrestricted portion of the benefit,” and “restricted portion of the benefit” shall have the meanings given under Section 436 of the Code, the regulations thereunder, and any applicable Internal Revenue Service guidance.

Graphic Packaging Retirement Plan Core Document 12-15-09 37

	In the event that the provisions of this Section 7.9 or any part thereof cease to be required by law as a result of subsequent legislation or otherwise, this Section or any applicable part thereof shall be ineffective without the necessity of further amendments to the Plan.
7.10	Limitations on Unpredictable Contingent Event Benefit
	Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, with respect to Plan Years beginning on or after January 1, 2010, if a Member or Beneficiary is entitled to an “unpredictable contingent event benefit” (as defined under Section 436(b) of the Code) with respect to any event occurring during any Plan Year, such unpredictable contingent event benefit shall not be provided to such Member or Beneficiary if the Plan’s adjusted funding target attainment percentage (as defined in Section 7.9) for such Plan Year is less than 60 percent or would be less than 60 percent taking into account such occurrence; provided, however, that such unpredictable contingent event benefit shall become payable if and when the Plan meets the exemption under Section 436(b)(2) of the Code.
	In the event that the provisions of this Section 7.10 or any part thereof cease to be required by law as a result of subsequent legislation or otherwise, this Section or any applicable part thereof shall be ineffective without the necessity of further amendments to the Plan.
7.11	Revision of the Plan and Applicability of Plan Provisions
	The provisions of the Plan as set forth herein are effective as of January 1, 2009, except that certain provisions shall have an earlier or later effective date as specifically set forth in the Plan, in the resolution adopting the amendment, or as follows:

ARTICLE 8. AMENDMENT, MERGER AND TERMINATION

8.1	Amendment of Plan
	The Board of Directors reserves the right at any time and from time to time, and retroactively if deemed necessary or appropriate, to amend in whole or in part any or all of the provisions of the Plan, and reserves the right to delegate this authority to an officer or officers of the Employer or to the Retirement Committee or a member of the Retirement Committee as it deems appropriate. However, no amendment shall make it possible for any part of the Funds of the Plan to be used for, or diverted to, purposes other than for the exclusive benefit of persons entitled to benefits under the Plan prior to the satisfaction of all liabilities with respect to such persons. No amendment shall be made which has the effect of decreasing the Accrued Benefit of any Member or of reducing the nonforfeitable percentage of the Accrued Benefit of a Member below the nonforfeitable percentage computed under the Plan as in effect on the date on which the amendment is adopted or, if later, the date on which the amendment becomes effective. For purposes of this Section, a plan amendment that has the effect of (i) eliminating or reducing an early retirement benefit or retirement-type subsidy, or (ii) eliminating an optional form, with respect to benefits attributable to service before the amendment shall be treated as reducing accrued benefits. In the case of a retirement-type subsidy, the preceding sentence shall apply only with respect to a Member who satisfies (either before or after the amendment) the pre-amendment conditions for the subsidy. Notwithstanding the preceding sentences, a Member’s accrued benefit, early retirement benefit, retirement-type subsidy, or optional form of payment may be reduced to the extent permitted under Section 412(c)(8) of the Code (for Plan Years beginning on or before December 31, 2007) or Section 412(d)(2) of the Code (for Plan Years beginning after December 31, 2007), or to the extent permitted under Section 1.411(d)-(3) and (4) of the U. S. Treasury Department regulations.
8.2	Merger or Consolidation
	The Plan may not be merged or consolidated with, and its assets or liabilities may not be transferred to, any other plan unless each person entitled to benefits under the Plan would, if the resulting plan were then terminated, receive a benefit immediately after the merger, consolidation, or transfer which is equal to or greater than the benefit he would have been entitled to receive immediately before the merger, consolidation, or transfer if the Plan had then terminated. The transactions referenced in this Section shall be carried out under the provisions of Section 414(l) of the Code.
8.3	Additional Participating Employers

(a) If any company is now or becomes a subsidiary or associated company of the Employer, the Board of Directors may, at its discretion and upon appropriate action, include the employees of that company in the membership of the Plan upon appropriate action by that company necessary to adopt the Plan. In that event, or if any persons become Employees of the Employer or an Affiliated Employer as the result of merger or consolidation or as the result of acquisition of

Graphic Packaging Retirement Plan Core Document 12-15-09 39

all or part of the assets or business of another company, the Board of Directors shall determine to what extent, if any, credit shall be granted for previous service with the subsidiary, associated or other company, but subject to the continued qualification of the Plan and trust under the Code.

(b)

Any subsidiary or associated company may terminate its participation in the Plan upon appropriate action by it, in which event the Funds of the Plan held on account of Members in the employ of that company shall be determined by the Retirement Committee and shall be applied as provided in Section 8.4 if the Plan should be terminated, or shall be segregated by the Trustee as a separate trust, pursuant to certification to the Trustee by the Retirement Committee, continuing the Plan as a separate plan for the employees of that company, under which the board of directors of that company shall succeed to all the powers and duties of the Board of Directors, including the appointment of the members of the Retirement Committee. Notwithstanding the above, the Board of Directors may refuse to approve such a termination of participation by a subsidiary or associated company if it determines that such action could jeopardize the qualified status of the Plan.

8.4

Termination of Plan

The Board of Directors may terminate the Plan for any reason at any time. In case of termination of the Plan, the rights of Members to the benefits accrued under the Plan to the date of the termination, to the extent then funded (or, if greater, protected by law), shall be nonforfeitable. The Funds of the Plan shall be used for the exclusive benefit of persons entitled to benefits under the Plan as of the date of termination, except as provided in Sections 4.2 and 5.12. However, any Funds not required to satisfy liabilities of the Plan for benefits, that arise out of any variation between actual requirements and expected actuarial requirements, shall be returned to the Employer. The Retirement Committee shall determine, on the basis of actuarial valuation, the share of the Funds of the Plan allocable to each person entitled to benefits under the Plan in accordance with Section 4044 of ERISA or corresponding provision of any applicable law in effect at the time. In the event of a partial termination of the Plan, the provisions of this Section shall be applicable to the Members affected by that partial termination.

CERTAIN HISTORICAL PROVISIONS

The purpose of this Section is to record, for historical purposes, certain provisions which are no longer applicable to active Members in the Plan as of January 1, 2008, the effective date of the Plan’s restatement.

A.	The following was included as part of the preamble to the Plan prior to the Plan’s restatement effective as of January 1, 2008:
	ACX Technologies, Inc., a Colorado corporation (“ACX”), established the Plan effective December 28, 1992, for its eligible employees and the employees of its subsidiaries who adopt the Plan. At the same time, ACX entered into a related Trust to provide for the investment and management of the assets of the Plan.
	Adolph Coors Company, a Colorado corporation (“ACCo”), maintains the Coors Retirement Plan (the “ACC Retirement Plan”) for its eligible employees and the eligible employees of its subsidiaries that adopt the ACC Retirement Plan. Any reference to the ACC Retirement Plan shall refer to such plan as in effect on December 27, 1992.
	ACX was a wholly-owned subsidiary of ACCo. Pursuant to a Distribution Agreement dated as of October 5, 1992, ACCo distributed (the “Distribution”) all of the capital stock of ACX to the holders of the Class A and Class B common stock of ACCo. The Distribution occurred at the opening of business on December 28, 1992 (the “Distribution Date”).
	In connection with the Distribution, ACX and ACCo entered into the Employee Benefits and Compensation Transition Agreement, dated as of December 18, 1992 (the “Benefits Agreement”), which provides for the transfer of assets and other transitional matters in connection with certain employee benefit plans including this Plan and the ACC Retirement Plan. Pursuant to the Benefits Agreement, ACX agreed that this Plan shall provide generally that, for purposes of credited service for vesting, eligibility for benefits, and benefit calculation, Members in this Plan shall be entitled to all of the credited service and earnings that they had earned under the ACC Retirement Plan as of the day prior to the Distribution Date. Under the terms of the Benefits Agreement, the trustee for the ACC Retirement Plan transferred to the trustee for this Plan assets of the ACC Retirement Plan equal to the portion of the fair market value of the assets in the ACC Retirement Plan determined by the ratio of the actuarial accrued liability for the individuals described in the next sentence as well as any Alternate Payees (as defined herein) and beneficiaries of the individuals listed in the next sentence on the date of the Distribution to the total actuarial accrued liability of the ACC Retirement Plan as of the Distribution Date. The individuals whose accrued benefits were transferred to this Plan include the following individuals as well as any Alternate Payees (as defined herein) and beneficiaries of such individuals: (a) individuals employed by ACX, Golden Technologies Company, Inc., Golden Aluminum Company, Graphic Packaging Corporation, MicroLithics Corporation, ZeaGen, Inc., Coors Porcelain Company, Alpha Optical Systems, Inc., Alumina Ceramics, Inc., Coors Ceramicon Design, Ltd., Coors

	Ceramics GmbH, Coors Technical Ceramics Company, Coors Wear Products, Inc., and Wilbanks International, Inc. (collectively, the “ACX Companies”) on December 28, 1992, and (b) individuals who were not employed by ACX, its subsidiaries, Adolph Coors Company or its subsidiaries on December 28, 1992, but whose last employer among such companies was an ACX Company.
	CoorsTek, Inc. (formerly Coors Ceramics Company) was a participating employer in the Plan. Effective as of August 31, 1999, the Board of Directors of ACX spun off the assets and liabilities of the Plan (in accordance with Code § 414(l)) attributable to employees, terminated vested employees, and retirees of CoorsTek, Inc. (formerly Coors Porcelain Company), Alumina Ceramics, Inc., Coors Ceramicon Designs, Ltd. d/b/a Coors Tetraflour, Coors Technical Ceramics Company, Coors Wear Products, Inc., and Wilbanks International, Inc. into the Coors Ceramics Company Retirement Plan. ACX transferred sponsorship of the Coors Ceramics Company Retirement Plan to CoorsTek, Inc. effective as of September 1, 1999, and the plan was renamed the CoorsTek, Inc. Retirement Plan.
	This restatement takes into account the action by the Board of Directors of the Plan Sponsor to spin off the assets and liabilities of the ACX Technologies, Inc. Retirement Plan attributable to employees, terminated vested employees, and retirees of CoorsTek, Inc. (formerly Coors Porcelain Company), Alumina Ceramics, Inc., Coors Ceramicon Designs, Ltd. d/b/a Coors Tetraflour, Coors Technical Ceramics Company, Coors Wear Products, Inc., Wilbanks International, Inc. into a new plan named the Coors Ceramics Company Retirement Plan effective as of August 31, 1999 (in accordance with § 414(l) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended). Effective as of the date of the transfer of assets and liabilities from the Plan to the CoorsTek, Inc. Retirement Plan (formerly the Coors Ceramics Company Retirement Plan), no benefits will be payable under the Plan to any individual whose Accrued Benefit as of August 31, 1999 was transferred to the CoorsTek, Inc. Retirement Plan.
	Effective January 1, 2000, the Universal Packaging Corporation Pension Plan (the “UPC Plan”) was merged into the Plan, and effective December 31, 2000, the Graphic Packaging FJ Retirement Plan was merged into the Plan.

ARTICLE 1. DEFINITIONS

In addition to the definitions contained in the Core Document, the following words and phrases when used in this Appendix 1 shall have the following meanings, unless a different meaning is plainly required:

1.1 Average Final Salarymeans the annual Pensionable Earnings of a Member paid during the four consecutive Plan Years in the last 10 Plan Years of the Member’s Benefit Service affording the highest average, subject to the following rules:

(a)	If a period of layoff, approved medical leave or workers’ compensation leave is included in the last 10 Plan Years of a Member’s Benefit Service, Pensionable Earnings shall include, for that period, an amount based on Pensionable Earnings in effect for the calendar year prior to that period.
(b)	If a Member is entitled to Benefit Service on account of a period of service in the uniformed services of the United States, the Member shall be deemed to have earned Pensionable Earnings during the period of absence at the rate he would have received had he remained employed as an Eligible Employee for that period or, if such rate is not reasonably certain, on the basis of the Member’s rate of compensation during the 12-month period immediately preceding such period of absence (or if shorter, the period of employment immediately preceding such period).
(c)	In the case of an Employee who is rehired, the Employee’s annual Pensionable Earnings during the year in which termination occurred and the year in which rehire occurred shall not be included as one of the last 10 calendar years of the Member’s Benefit Service, unless such Pensionable Earnings are greater than the Pensionable Earnings in the calendar year preceding the year in which termination occurred.
(d)	If a Member completes less than four full Plan Years under the Plan, the Member’s Pensionable Earnings for the portion of a Plan Year worked will be increased by annualizing base pay and adding other amounts actually paid during that Plan Year that are included as Pensionable Earnings. The Member’s Pensionable Earnings will be annualized only for the initial year of employment if that results in four full Plan Years considered. Otherwise, the Member’s Pensionable Earnings in the final year of employment will also be annualized.
(e)	If using the Pensionable Earnings paid to a Member in his final, partial calendar year of employment would produce an Average Final Salary that is greater than the Average Final Salary otherwise calculated, then his final, partial calendar year of employment shall be added to his last 10 calendar years in calculating his Average Final Salary.

All Nonunion Employees
January 1, 2009 1

Notwithstanding anything in this Section 1.1 to the contrary, with respect to Members who participated in the Universal Packaging Corporation Pension Plan prior to January 1, 2000, Average Final Salary shall only take into account Pensionable Earnings paid on and after January 1, 2000.

1.2 Benefit Servicemeans the period of an Eligible Employee’s service considered in determining his Benefit Service as described in Article 2.

1.3 Break in Servicemeans a period which constitutes a break in an Employee’s service as described in Section 2.4.

1.4 Covered Compensationmeans for any Member, the average of the taxable wage bases in effect under Section 230 of the Social Security Act for each year in the 35-year period ending with the year in which the Member attains his Social Security Retirement Age. In determining a Member’s Covered Compensation for any Plan Year, the taxable wage base for the current Plan Year and any subsequent Plan Year shall be assumed to be the same as the taxable wage base in effect as of the beginning of the Plan Year for which the determination is made.

1.5 DisabilityorDisabledmeans a physical or mental condition rendering a Member totally and permanently disabled, as determined by eligibility for and receipt of disability benefits under the Employer’s long-term disability plan. To the extent required by law, and to the extent the Retirement Committee is ruling on a claim for disability benefits, the Plan will follow, with respect to that claim, claims procedures required by law for plans providing disability benefits.

1.6 Distribution Datemeans the opening of business on December 28, 1992. For purposes of this Plan, the opening of business shall be deemed to occur at 12:01 A.M. Mountain Standard Time on the Distribution Date.

1.7 Eligible Employeemeans, for purposes of this Appendix 1, an Employee of the Employer whose employment is not subject to the provisions of a collective bargaining agreement.

1.8 Equivalent Actuarial Valuemeans a benefit having the same value as the benefit that such Equivalent Actuarial Value replaces. The Equivalent Actuarial Value shall be based on an annual interest rate of five percent per year, compounded annually, and the mortality table prescribed by Revenue Ruling 2001-62, unless otherwise specified below, or in another Section of this Appendix 1:

(a)	For purposes of calculating lump sum payments and a benefit payable in the form of a level income option under Section 6.2(g), the interest rate shall be the IRS Interest Rate and the mortality assumption shall be based on the IRS Mortality Table.
(b)	Notwithstanding the above, in no event shall the benefit in an annuity form of payment available on or after January 1, 2007 be less than under such annuity form of payment on the Annuity Starting Date based on the Member’s Accrued

All Nonunion Employees

Benefit as of December 31, 2006 and based on the terms of the Plan in effect on December 31, 2006 (including the actuarial equivalent factors in effect on that date under this Appendix 1). Further, the present value of a lump sum payment or a benefit payable under a level income option under Section 6.2(g) with an Annuity Starting Date occurring during the period beginning January 1, 2010 and ending December 31, 2010, shall not be less than the present value determined using the interest rate prescribed under Section 417(e)(3)(C) of the Code for the second full calendar month preceding the applicable Stability Period.

1.9 Former Fort James Non-Union Employeemeans an individual who was employed by Fort James Corporation or an entity related to Fort James Corporation on August 1, 1999 and who became an Employee of the Employer or a subsidiary of the Employer on August 2, 1999 pursuant to the purchase of assets from Fort James Corporation and whose employment was not subject to a collective bargaining agreement.

1.10 Hour of Servicemeans:

(a)	Each hour for which an Employee is paid, or entitled to payment, for the performance of duties for the Employer or an Affiliated Employer. Hours of Service under this paragraph shall be credited to the Employee for the computation period or periods in which the duties are performed, regardless of when the Employee is paid for such duties.
(b)	Each hour for which an Employee is paid or entitled to payment by the Employer or an Affiliated Employer on account of a period of time during which no duties are performed (irrespective of whether the employment relationship has terminated) due to vacation, holiday, illness, incapacity (including Disability), layoff, jury duty, military duty or leave of absence. Hours of Service under this paragraph shall be credited to the Employee for the computation period or periods in which the period during which no duties are performed occurs, beginning with the first unit of time to which the payment relates. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, an hour for which an Employee is directly or indirectly paid, or entitled to payment, on account of a period during which no duties are performed shall not be credited to the Employee if such payment is made or due under a plan maintained solely for the purpose of complying with applicable worker’s compensation, unemployment compensation, or disability insurance laws.
(c)	Each hour for which back pay, irrespective of mitigation of damages, is either awarded or agreed to by the Employer or an Affiliated Employer. Hours of Service under this paragraph shall be credited to the Employee for the computation period or periods to which the award or agreement pertains rather than the computation period in which the award, agreement or payment is made. The same Hours of Service shall not be credited both under this paragraph and either paragraph (a) or paragraph (b).

All Nonunion Employees
January 1, 2009 3

(d)	In the case of each Employee who is absent from work for any period by reason of a Parental Leave, the Plan shall treat as Hours of Service, solely for purposes of determining whether a one-year Break in Service has occurred, the following hours: (i) the Hours of Service that otherwise would normally have been credited to such Employee but for such absence, or (ii) in any case in which the Plan is unable to determine the hours described in clause (i), eight Hours of Service per day of such absence, provided, however, that the total number of hours treated as Hours of Service under this paragraph shall not exceed 501 Hours of Service. The hours described in this paragraph shall be treated as Hours of Service only in the year in which the absence from work begins, if an Employee would be prevented from incurring a one-year Break in Service in such year solely because the period of absence is treated as Hours of Service as provided in this paragraph, or in any other case, in the immediately following year. For purposes of this paragraph, the term “year” means the period used in computing a Break in Service. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Retirement Committee may determine that no credit will be given pursuant to this paragraph unless the Employee furnishes to the Retirement Committee such timely information as the Retirement Committee may reasonably require to establish that the absence from work is for reasons referred to in the first sentence of this paragraph and the number of days for which there was such an absence.
(e)	In the event no Employer record exists for a period for which Hours of Service must be credited under the provisions of this Appendix 1, an Employee shall be credited with 190 Hours of Service for each calendar month in which he is entitled to be credited with one Hour of Service under the provisions of this Appendix 1.
(f)	For purposes of calculating the Hours of Service to be credited to periods during which no duties are performed and determining the computation periods to which hours shall be credited, the rules set forth in paragraphs (b) and (c) of Department of Labor Regulation § 2530.200b-2 are hereby incorporated by reference as though such provisions were fully set forth herein.

1.11 Leave of Absencemeans any absence authorized by the Employer or an Affiliated Employer pursuant to standard personnel practices, provided that all individuals in similar circumstances be treated alike in the granting of such Leaves of Absence, and provided further that the Member returns to active employment with the Employer or an Affiliated Employer (whether or not as an Eligible Employee), dies, or retires within the period specified in the authorized Leave of Absence.

1.12 Normal Retirement Agemeans an Employee’s 65^th birthday.

1.13 Parental Leavemeans a period in which an Employee is absent from work immediately following active employment because of the Employee’s pregnancy, the birth of the Employee’s child, or the placement of a child with the Employee in connection with the adoption of that child by the Employee, or for purposes of caring for that child for a period beginning immediately following that birth or placement.

	Pensionable Earnings shall include, for any period during which the Member is accruing Benefit Service under the provisions of Section 5.4, an amount based on the greater of:

(i)	Pensionable Earnings received in the calendar year prior to the calendar year in which the Member is placed on the Employer’s long-term disability plan, excluding Pensionable Earnings paid in lieu of vacation or holidays; or
(ii)	Pensionable Earnings, excluding Pensionable Earnings paid in lieu of vacation and holidays, for the calendar year in which the Member is placed on the Employer’s long-term disability plan, plus base compensation that would have been paid from the date the Member is placed on the Employer’s long-term disability plan through the end of that Plan Year.

(b) Prior to January 1, 2007. For periods of employment prior to January 1, 2007, Pensionable Earnings means an Employee’s base pay plus any salary reduction contributions made on the Employee’s behalf by the Employer to any plans maintained by the Employer pursuant to Section 125 or 401(k) of the Code but excluding overtime, cash bonuses, and profit sharing pay.

5.2 Late Retirement Pension

(a)	Eligibility. In the event a Member remains in service after his Normal Retirement Date, no Pension shall be payable during such continuance in service, subject to the provisions of Section 2.5(b) of the Core Document. Upon retirement on a Late Retirement Date, such Member shall be eligible to receive a monthly late retirement Pension.

All Nonunion Employees	15
January 1, 2009

(c) Amount. Subject to the provisions of Section 6.1(b), the monthly amount of the Member’s early retirement Pension payable as of his Normal Retirement Date shall be equal to his Accrued Benefit determined as of the date of the Member’s retirement. In the event the Member elects to defer commencement of his early retirement Pension beyond his Normal Retirement Date, the Member’s Pension shall be of Equivalent Actuarial Value to the Pension otherwise payable as of his Normal Retirement Date. In the event a Member elects to commence payment prior to his Normal Retirement Date, the Member’s Pension payable as of the earlier commencement date shall be equal to his Accrued Benefit reduced by 5/12 of 1% for each month by which the commencement date of the Member’s early retirement Pension precedes his Normal Retirement Date; provided, however, if the Member shall have 25 years of Vesting Service at his date of retirement, the Member’s early retirement Pension shall be equal to the deferred Pension reduced by 5/12 of 1% for each month by which the commencement date of the Member’s early retirement Pension precedes the first day of the calendar month coincident with or immediately following the Member’s 62nd birthday. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Member’s early retirement Pension commencing prior to his Normal Retirement Date be less than the Pension to which the Member would have been entitled under this Section based on his Accrued Benefit as of December 31, 2006 and payable at the earlier commencement date under the terms of the Plan as in effect on December 31, 2006.

5.4 Disability Benefit

(a)	Eligibility. A Member who terminates from employment with the Employer and all Affiliated Employers as an Eligible Employee on account of Disability shall be entitled to benefits as provided in this Section. A Member must file an application requesting a determination of Disability with the Retirement Committee prior to the Eligible Employee’s termination of employment.
(b)	Commencement and Duration. In the event the Member remains Disabled until his Normal Retirement Date, he shall be entitled to a Pension payable in monthly installments commencing as of his Normal Retirement Date or as of such later date as of which the Member ceases to accrue Benefit Service under the provisions of paragraph (c) below. If the Member’s Disability ceases prior to the Member’s Normal Retirement Date, the Member’s entitlement to benefits under this Plan shall be determined as provided under paragraph (c) below. A Member may also elect to postpone commencement of his Pension in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.1(b). However, payment shall commence no later than the Member’s Required Beginning Date.
(c)	Amount. The amount of the Pension payable to a Member entitled to benefits under this Section shall be determined by (i) considering Benefit Service as if the Member’s Benefit Service continued uninterrupted to the earlier of the date the Member’s Disability ceases or the Member’s Normal Retirement Date, provided, however, if the Member becomes Disabled after attaining age 60, the Member shall be entitled to accrue Benefit Service for a period of five years provided he

All Nonunion Employees	16
January 1, 2009

remains Disabled during that period, (ii) using the benefit formula in effect on the date the Member ceases to accrue Benefit Service under clause (i); and (iii) using Covered Compensation frozen as of the date the Member became Disabled (determined under the terms of the Plan and applicable law as in effect on that date).

However, in no event shall a Member’s Pension payable under this Section on or after January 1, 2007 be less than the benefit the Member had accrued under the provisions of this Section as of December 31, 2006 under the terms of the Plan then in effect.

In the event a Member who becomes Disabled after age 60 ceases to be eligible for payments under the Employer’s long term disability plan on account of age, the Retirement Committee shall determine the Member’s continued disability for the period of time during which he may accrue Benefit Service under (i) above, based on such medical evidence as the Retirement Committee shall require in accordance with such uniform rules as it shall adopt and by applying the same definition of disability as contained under the Employer’s long term disability plan. In the event such Member continues to accrue Benefit Service after his Required Beginning Date, his Pension shall be recomputed as of the end of each Plan Year following his Required Beginning Date (and as of the date he ceases benefit accruals) to reflect additional accruals. The Member’s recomputed Pension shall be reduced by the Equivalent Actuarial Value of the total payments of his Pension paid prior to such recomputation to arrive at his Pension payable following the recomputation (provided no reduction shall reduce a Member’s Pension below the amount of Pension payable to the Member prior to the recomputation).

If the Member’s Disability ceases before the Member’s Normal Retirement Date, the Member shall cease to accrue any further benefits under this Section as of the date he ceases to be Disabled and his Pension shall be determined under Section 5.3 or 5.5, as applicable, but based on Covered Compensation frozen as of the date the Member became Disabled (determined under the terms of the Plan and applicable law as in effect on that date), and including the Benefit Service the Member accrued during the period the Member was receiving benefits under the Employer’s long-term disability plan or, if applicable, would be receiving benefits but for a long-term disability plan age-based limitation on benefits which is different than the age-based limitation described in the preceding paragraph.

However, in no event shall the benefit of a Member who recovers from a Disability and returns to active employment as an Eligible Employee be less than the Pension computed as of the date of the Member’s Disability (or as of December 31, 2006, if applicable).

All Nonunion Employees	17
January 1, 2009

(d) Election of Benefit Commencement In Lieu of Continued Accruals. Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Section 5.4, if a Member who is accruing Benefit Service under the provisions of this Section meets the requirements to commence payment of a Pension under the provisions of Section 5.1, 5.2, 5.3 or 5.5 (including Vesting Service credited under this Section) as of the day before the Member’s Annuity Starting Date, the Member may elect to cease further benefit accruals under the preceding provisions of this Section 5.4 and, in lieu thereof, elect to commence payment of a Pension under the provisions of Section 5.1, 5.2, 5.3 or 5.5. The amount of the Pension for a Member who elects to commence payments under this paragraph shall be determined using Covered Compensation frozen as of the date the Member became Disabled (determined under the terms of the Plan and applicable law as in effect on that date) and on the basis of the Member’s Average Final Salary and Benefit Service as of the date the Member ceases to accrue further accruals under this Section. The Member’s early retirement Pension or vested Pension shall be reduced to reflect its commencement prior to the Member’s Normal Retirement Date in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.3 or 5.5, as applicable. In the event payment commences after the Member’s Normal Retirement Date, the Member’s Pension shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.2.

5.5 Vested Pension

(a)	Eligibility. A Member who terminates from the Employer and all Affiliated Employers for reasons other than retirement or death prior to age 65, and has five or more years of Vesting Service prior to his termination date, shall be eligible for a vested Pension.
(b)	Commencement. The vested Pension shall be an unreduced deferred Pension beginning as of the Member’s Normal Retirement Date. However, a Member may elect to receive a reduced vested Pension effective as of the first day of any earlier month coincident with or following the date he attains age 55, provided that an election of an early payment date shall be subject to the notice and timing requirements set forth in Section 2.3 of the Core Document. Alternatively, a Member may elect to postpone commencement of his vested Pension to the first day of any month following his Normal Retirement Date, but not later than his Required Beginning Date. Pension checks are issued at the end of each month for which payment is due.
(c)	Amount. Subject to Section 6.1(b), the amount of a Member’s vested Pension payable as of his Normal Retirement Date shall be equal to his Accrued Benefit determined as of the date of the Member’s termination of employment. If the vested Pension commences after the Member’s Normal Retirement Date, the Pension shall be of Equivalent Actuarial Value to the Pension otherwise payable at the Member’s Normal Retirement Date. If payment of the vested Pension commences before the Member’s Normal Retirement Date, the Member’s vested Pension shall be the Accrued Benefit multiplied by the appropriate factor from the following schedule:

All Nonunion Employees	18
January 1, 2009

Age Pension	Percent
Commences	Payable*
55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64	39 42 46 50 55 61 67 74 81 90

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Member’s vested Pension commencing prior to his Normal Retirement Date be less than the benefit to which the Member would have been entitled under this Section based on his Accrued Benefit as of December 31, 2006 and payable at the earlier commencement date under the terms of the Plan as in effect on December 31, 2006.

5.6 Surviving Spouse’s Pension

(a) Eligibility. The surviving Spouse of a married Member shall be eligible for a surviving Spouse’s Pension if such married Member dies before his Annuity Starting Date:

(i)	In active service after he has completed the requirements for a normal retirement Pension under Section 5.1; a late retirement Pension under Section 5.2; or an early retirement Pension under Section 5.3; or
(ii)	After retiring with entitlement to a normal retirement Pension under Section 5.1; a late retirement Pension under Section 5.2; or an early retirement Pension under Section 5.3; or
(iii)	Either in active service or after terminating service on or after January 1, 1976, but in either event with entitlement to a vested Pension under Section 5.5; or
(iv)	While accruing benefits under the provisions of Section 5.4.

(b) Commencement. Payment of the surviving Spouse’s Pension to the Spouse shall commence effective as of the Member’s Normal Retirement Date or as of the first day of the month coincident with or next following his date of death, if later. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the surviving Spouse may elect to commence payment of the surviving Spouse’s Pension effective as of the first day of any

^* When the age at commencement is other than full years, the factors in the above schedule shall be interpolated to four decimal places to take into account the number of full months.

All Nonunion Employees	19
January 1, 2009

	earlier month coincident with or following the earliest date the Member could have elected to commence benefit payments or the first day of any month coincident with or following his date of death, if later, or the surviving Spouse may elect to defer payments up to the first day of any month following the Member’s Normal Retirement Date, but not later than the end of the calendar year in which the deceased Member would have attained age 701/2. Pension checks are issued at the end of each month for which payment is due.
(c)	Amount. The amount of the monthly surviving Spouse’s Pension payable to the Member’s Spouse shall be equal to the Pension that would have been payable to the Member’s Spouse if the Member had elected to have his Pension commence in the form of a Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity on his Normal Retirement Date or upon his date of death, if later.
	However, if within the 90-day period prior to his Annuity Starting Date a Member has elected an optional form of payment which provides for monthly payments to his Spouse for life in an amount equal to at least 50 percent but not more than 100 percent of the monthly amount payable under the option for the life of the Member and such option is of Equivalent Actuarial Value to the Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity, such optional form of payment shall be used for computing the surviving Spouse’s Pension instead of the Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity. Further, a Member who dies after qualifying for an early, normal or late retirement Pension shall be deemed to have elected a Qualified Joint and 100% Survivor Annuity and the amount of the survivor annuity calculated under this paragraph shall be calculated on that basis.
	In any case in which the surviving Spouse’s Pension commences (in accordance with paragraph (b) above) prior to the Member’s Normal Retirement Date, the amount of the surviving Spouse’s Pension shall be adjusted to reflect a reduction for early commencement equivalent to the reduction that would have been applied in determining the amount of the Member’s Pension under the provisions of Section 5.3 or 5.5, as applicable, had the Member begun to receive his Pension as of such commencement date. If a Member who is covered under this Appendix 1 dies after he has reached his 55th birthday and completed at least 25 years of Vesting Service, the Pension payable to his surviving Spouse shall be increased if the Spouse postpones payment beyond the date the Member would have attained age 62. The Spouse’s Pension otherwise payable at the date the Member would have attained age 62 shall be increased by 0.25% per month for every month that the postponed commencement date follows the first day of the month after the Member would have attained his 62nd birthday up to the Member’s Normal Retirement Date.

All Nonunion Employees	20
January 1, 2009

	In any case in which the surviving Spouse elects to defer commencement after the Member’s Normal Retirement Date, the surviving Spouse’s Pension shall be of Equivalent Actuarial Value to the benefit otherwise payable to the Spouse at the later of the Member’s Normal Retirement Date (taking into account the adjustment provided for in the preceding paragraph, if applicable) or the earliest date the Spouse was eligible to commence payment.
	If the Member’s death occurred while he was accruing benefits under Section 5.4, the surviving Spouse’s Pension: (i) shall be based on the Member’s Accrued Benefit at his date of death determined by using Covered Compensation as of the date the Member became Disabled, and Average Final Salary and Benefit Service as of his date of death including the period during which the Member was accruing Benefit Service under Section 5.4, and, if applicable, (ii) shall be reduced for early commencement based on the reduction that would apply if the Member’s Pension had commenced on the commencement date elected by the Spouse.
	In the event a Member dies on or after January 1, 2007, while in qualified military service and while his reemployment rights are protected under law, the surviving Spouse’s Pension shall be calculated based on the assumption that the Member had returned to active employment and then terminated employment on account of his or her death. However, in determining the amount of the surviving Spouse’s Pension, the Member’s Accrued Benefit shall be determined at the date the Member entered military service and no Pensionable Earnings or Benefit Service shall be imputed for the period of military service.
(d)	Small Lump Sum Payment. Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Section, a lump sum payment of Equivalent Actuarial Value shall be paid to the Spouse in lieu of the monthly Pension if the present value of the Spouse’s Pension payable as of the Member’s Normal Retirement Date or date of death, if later, amounts to $5,000 or less. The lump sum payment shall be made as soon as practicable following the Member’s date of death. In no event shall a lump sum payment be made following the date Pension payments have commenced to the Spouse as an annuity.

All Nonunion Employees	21
January 1, 2009

ARTICLE 6. FORMS OF PAYMENT

6.1 Automatic Form of Payment

(a)	Unmarried Member. If a Member is not married on his Annuity Starting Date, the monthly Pension shall be payable as a single life annuity for the Member’s lifetime, unless the Member has elected an optional form of benefit as provided in Section 6.2.
(b)	Married Member. If a Member is married on his Annuity Starting Date, the monthly Pension shall be payable as a Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity, unless the Member has elected an optional form of benefit as provided in Section 6.2.
(c)	Cash-Outs. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, if the Equivalent Actuarial Value of the Pension payable to a Member from the Plan determined as of his Normal Retirement Date or actual termination of employment, if later, is $5,000 or less, such Pension shall be paid in a lump sum which is the Equivalent Actuarial Value of such Pension. The lump sum payment shall be made as soon as administratively practicable following the Member’s Severance Date, provided the Member’s Pension has not commenced in the form of an annuity. In the event a Member is not entitled to any Pension upon his Severance Date, he shall be deemed cashed out as of the date he terminates employment and shall forfeit any benefit under the Plan. However, in the event a Member described in the preceding sentence is subsequently reemployed, his benefit shall be eligible for reinstatement under the provisions of Section 2.5.

6.2	Optional Forms of Pension
	Subject to the provisions of Section 2.3 of the Core Document, a Member may elect to convert the Pension otherwise payable to him into an optional Pension of Equivalent Actuarial Value, as provided in one of the options named below:

(a)	Option 1 — Single Life Annuity
	A monthly Pension shall be paid during the life of the Member with no Pension payable after his death.
(b)	Option 2 — 100% Joint and Survivor Annuity
	A reduced monthly Pension shall be paid during the life of the Member and after his death, 100% of such reduced monthly Pension shall be continued during the life of and shall be paid to the Member’s Beneficiary.

All Nonunion Employees	22
January 1, 2009

(c)	Option 3 — 75% Joint and Survivor Annuity
	A reduced monthly Pension shall be paid during the life of the Member and after his death, a monthly payment equal to 75% of such reduced monthly Pension shall be continued during the life of and shall be paid to the Member’s Beneficiary.
(d)	Option 4 — 50% Joint and Survivor Annuity
	A reduced monthly Pension shall be paid during the life of the Member and after his death, a monthly payment equal to 50% of such reduced monthly Pension shall be continued during the life of and shall be paid to the Member’s Beneficiary.
(e)	Option 5 — 25% Joint and Survivor Annuity
	A reduced monthly Pension shall be paid during the life of the Member and after his death, a monthly payment equal to 25% of such reduced monthly Pension shall be continued during the life of and shall be paid to the Member’s Beneficiary.
(f)	Option 6 — 10 Years Certain and Life Annuity
	A monthly Pension shall be paid during the life of the Member and payments shall be guaranteed to be made for a minimum period of 10 years. In the event of the death of the Member after the Annuity Starting Date, but before the Member’s receipt of monthly Pension payments for 10 years, the remainder of such payments shall be made to the Member’s Beneficiary, or in the absence of a surviving Beneficiary, the residual value of the remaining payments shall be paid to the Member’s estate in one lump sum.
	If the designated Beneficiary should die after receiving at least one payment, and if further payments are due after the death of the designated Beneficiary, the further payments shall be made to any person(s) designated by the Member as an alternate Beneficiary or, in the absence of an alternate surviving Beneficiary, the residual value of the remaining payments shall be paid to the estate of the last surviving Beneficiary in one lump sum.
	The residual value shall be determined on the basis of an interest rate of 120 percent of the mid-term Applicable Federal Rate for the first month of the applicable Plan Year, compounded annually.
(g)	Option 7 — Level Income Option
	Under the level income option, a Member who retires when eligible for an early retirement Pension or terminates employment with eligibility for a vested Pension and whose Annuity Starting Date precedes the Member’s 62nd birthday may elect to receive a retirement Pension of Equivalent Actuarial Value beginning as of the

All Nonunion Employees	23
January 1, 2009

Member’s Annuity Starting Date and continuing to the first day of the month in which the Member’s death occurs. Payments will be made monthly at one rate until a Member becomes eligible for a primary Social Security benefit (age 62) (the “changeover date”), and at a lower rate thereafter.

The difference between the amount payable before and after the changeover date will approximate the old age benefit estimated by the Retirement Committee to be payable to the Member under the Social Security Act on the changeover date, as if payment of such benefit were to begin on the changeover date. Unless the Member provides the Retirement Committee with documentation of the Member’s salary history, the old age benefit will be estimated in accordance with uniform, nondiscriminatory rules based on the following assumptions: (A) the Member continued to receive earnings between the date of his termination of employment with the Employer and the Member’s changeover date in an amount equal to the full calendar year pay immediately prior to his termination of employment, and (B) the Member’s earnings before the full calendar year immediately prior to his termination of employment will be projected backward by applying a salary scale which equals the change in national average wages from year to year as determined by the Social Security Administration.

If a Member dies after Pension payments have commenced, any payments continuing to be made to a Beneficiary shall be distributed at least as rapidly as under the method of distribution being used as of the Member’s date of death.

6.3	Commencement and Duration of Payments
	The first monthly payment of a Pension to a Member shall be made on or about the last business day of the month in which the Member’s Annuity Starting Date occurs. Subsequent monthly payments shall be made on or about the last business day of each subsequent month during the Member’s lifetime. The last monthly payment to the Member shall be made on or about the last business day of the month in which the Member dies (unless an earlier termination date is provided under the optional form of payment elected by the Member).
	In the event payments are due to a surviving Spouse or other Beneficiary following the Member’s death under the form of payment then in effect, the first payment due the surviving Spouse or other Beneficiary shall be made on or about the last business day of the month following the calendar month in which the Member died. Subsequent monthly payments shall be made on or about the last business day of each month during the Spouse’s or Beneficiary’s lifetime (or during the remaining period certain, if applicable). The last monthly payment shall be made on or about the last business day of the month in which the Spouse or Beneficiary dies (or, if earlier, upon the expiration of the period certain, if applicable).

CERTAIN HISTORICAL PROVISIONS

The purpose of this Section is to record, for historical purposes, certain provisions which are no longer applicable to active Members in the Plan as of January 1, 2009, the effective date of the Plan’s restatement, or which have minimal application.

ARTICLE 1 — DEFINITIONS

A. Accumulated Contributionsmeans a Member’s mandatory contributions, made prior to December 1, 1976, together with interest compounded annually from the last day of the Plan Year during which the contributions were made to the date of calculation at the following rates:

2% to December 1, 1959,

3% from December 1, 1959 to December 1, 1968,

4% from December 1, 1968 to December 1, 1976,

5% thereafter, or such other rate as may be required by applicable regulations.

B. Actuarial Equivalentmeans a benefit having the same value as the benefit that such Actuarial Equivalent replaces. The determination of an Actuarial Equivalent shall be based on the following actuarial assumptions and methods:

(a) Prior to June 1, 1998. The term “Actuarial Equivalent” shall be based on the actuarial assumptions set forth below, for the single sum payments and optional forms of retirement benefits payable under the Plan.

(i)

Interest Assumptions: 101/2% interest, compounded annually. Provided, however, in no event will the interest assumption used for purposes of calculating a single sum payment be greater than the interest rate that would be used by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation for determining such sum for a terminating nonmultiemployer pension plan as of the beginning of the Plan Year in which such payment is to be made.

(ii)

Mortality Assumptions: The Unisex Pension Mortality Table of 1984, for Employees and the Unisex Pension Mortality Table of 1984 using a four-year setback for contingent Beneficiaries.

(b) On and After June 1, 1998 (Lump sum distributions): Effective for determinations of single sum payments on and after June 1, 1998, the term “Actuarial Equivalent” shall be based on the following actuarial assumptions:

All Nonunion Employees	30
January 1, 2009

(i)	Interest Assumption: the annual rate of interest on 30 year Treasury securities specified by the Commissioner of Internal Revenue for the month of November preceding the Plan Year in which the Annuity Starting Date occurs.
(ii)	Mortality Assumption: the 1983 Group Annuity Mortality Table, as modified by Revenue Ruling 95-6.

However, notwithstanding the foregoing, no single sum payment shall be less than the single sum payment calculated using a 101/2% interest rate and the mortality assumption set forth in (a), based on the Participant’s benefits accrued through May 31, 1998 and based on the Participant’s age at the Annuity Starting Date. Calculations for optional forms of retirement benefits shall be made using the actuarial assumptions in (a).

(c)

On and after January 1, 2007 and prior to January 1, 2009 (non-Code Section 417(e) forms of payment): Effective for determinations of forms of payment not subject to Code Section 417(e) on and after January 1, 2007, the term “Actuarial Equivalent” shall be based on the following actuarial assumptions:

(i)	Interest Assumption: 5% interest, compounded annually.
(ii)	Mortality Assumption: The mortality table prescribed in IRS revenue Ruling 2001-62.

C.	Average Monthly Compensationmeans the highest average monthly Compensation that can be obtained by averaging a Participant’s monthly Compensation over any 36 consecutive months of the final 120 months of his service. Months in which the Participant received no Compensation shall be ignored in determining the 36-consecutive month period or the 120-consecutive month period so that any gap in consecutive months of compensated service caused by such lack of Compensation is bridged.
	With respect to individuals who were Participants on the Distribution Date, the 36-month and 120-month periods shall include periods prior to the Distribution Date for which Compensation was paid to the Participant by ACCo for services rendered to ACCo. With respect to individuals who terminate employment with ACCo and become Employees on or after the Distribution Date, the 36-month and 120-month periods shall not include periods prior to the Distribution Date.
	Notwithstanding anything in this Section 1.11 to the contrary, with respect to Participants who participated in the Universal Packaging Corporation Pension Plan prior to January 1, 2000, Average Monthly Compensation shall only take into account Compensation paid on and after January 1, 2000.
	Average Monthly Compensation shall be calculated in the following manner. The 36 consecutive months shall be divided into three 12-consecutive month periods, beginning with the first month of the 36-consecutive month period. Compensation taken into account for each 12-consecutive month period shall be limited to the annual

All Nonunion Employees	31
January 1, 2009

	compensation limit, provided that this limitation shall not reduce any benefit accrued as of December 31, 1988. Compensation (reduced if necessary pursuant to the preceding sentence) for the three 12-consecutive month periods shall be averaged. The average shall then be divided by twelve to yield Average Monthly Compensation.
D.	Compensationmeans:

(c) Benefit Compensation. For purposes of calculating the benefit under this Plan for a Participant who is not employed by CoorsTek, Inc. and its subsidiaries, Compensation means an Employee’s base pay plus any salary reduction contributions made on the Employee’s behalf by the Company to any plans maintained by the Company pursuant to Code §§ 125 or 401(k) but excluding overtime, cash bonuses, and profit sharing pay. Compensation shall not include amounts allocated and benefits paid under this Plan or any other pension or profit sharing plan maintained by the Company (other than salary reduction contributions pursuant to Code §§ 125 and 401(k)). For purposes of calculating the benefit under this Plan for a Participant who is employed by CoorsTek, Inc. and its subsidiaries, Compensation means an Employee’s base pay plus overtime and any salary reduction contributions made on the Employee’s behalf by the Company to any plans maintained by the Company pursuant to Code §§ 125 or 401(k) but excluding cash bonuses and profit sharing pay. Compensation shall not include amounts allocated and benefits paid under this Plan or any other pension or profit sharing plan maintained by the Company (other than salary reduction contributions pursuant to Code §§ 125 and 401(k)).

(d) Prior Compensation. Compensation shall include all amounts treated as compensation under the ACC Retirement Plan for periods prior to the Distribution Date for those individuals who became Participants on the Distribution Date. Amounts treated as compensation for periods prior to the Distribution Date shall be disregarded for individuals who terminate employment with ACCo and become Employees on and after the Distribution Date.

Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, with respect to the UPC Plan effective January 1, 1997 but prior to January 1, 2000 (the “UPC Merger Date”), the provisions of this Appendix 10 shall apply.

A Member with a benefit under the Prior UPC Plan that was transferred to the Plan shall continue to be entitled to all early retirement benefits, retirement-type subsidies, and optional benefit forms that were included in the Prior UPC Plan and that are protected by Section 411(d)(6) of the Code. The provisions of this Appendix 10 apply solely to the benefits accrued under the terms of the UPC Plan as of January 1, 2000.

1.2	Compensationmeans:

For purposes of calculating the benefit under the UPC Plan for periods prior to January 1, 2000, Compensation means, in the case of each Member, his base pay, bonuses, overtime payments, premium pay, and commissions received from the Employer during a calendar year for services rendered while a Member without regard to any reduction in such pay made by reason of a compensation reduction agreement in effect between such Member and the Employer. Compensation does not include any amount paid to a Member before the date on which he becomes a Member, nor does it include non-cash compensation, severance pay, tuition refunds, or reimbursable moving expenses or any compensation paid after termination of employment for any reason. In the case of a Member who becomes disabled within the meaning of Section 1.4 but who does not elect to receive a disability benefit under Section 5.4 for each calendar year during which he is so disabled, Compensation means the amount of Compensation he received during the calendar year immediately preceding the calendar year in which he becomes disabled.

1.6 Equivalent Actuarial Valuemeans a benefit having the same value as the benefit that such Equivalent Actuarial Value replaces. The determination of Equivalent Actuarial Value shall be based on the following actuarial assumptions and methods:

(a)

For purposes of determining all optional forms of payment other than lump sum payments, the interest rate shall be an interest rate (expressed in hundredths of a percent) for each Plan Year equal to the average monthly yield on long-term (25 years) U.S. Government bonds as reported by Standard & Poor’s Statistical Service for the calendar month which begins six months prior to the first day of the Plan Year; provided, however, that the interest rate shall in no event be less than five (5%) percent or greater than nine (9%) percent, and the mortality assumption shall be based on the Unisex Pension Mortality Table of 1984.

(b)

For purposes of calculating lump sum payments or a benefit commencing prior to a Member’s 55th birthday under Section 5.5(b), the interest rate shall be the IRS Interest Rate and the mortality assumption shall be based on the IRS Mortality Table. However, the present value of a lump sum payment or a benefit commencing prior to a Member’s 55th birthday with an Annuity Starting Date occurring during the period beginning January 1, 2010 and ending December 31, 2010, shall not be less than the present value or benefit determined using the interest rate prescribed under Section 417(e)(3)(C) of the Code for the second full calendar month preceding the applicable Stability Period.

(a)

Each hour for which an Employee is paid, or entitled to payment, for the performance of duties for the Employer or an Affiliated Employer.

Hours of Service under this paragraph shall be credited to the Employee for the computation period or periods in which the period during which no duties are performed occurs, beginning with the first unit of time to which the payment relates. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence:

(i) No more than 501 Hours of Service shall be credited under this paragraph to an Employee on account of any single continuous period during which the Employee performs no duties (whether or not such period occurs in a single computation period); and

Universal Packaging Corporation Pension Plan	3

(c)	Each hour for which back pay, irrespective of mitigation of damages, is either awarded or agreed to by the Employer or an Affiliated Employer. Hours of Service under this paragraph shall be credited to the Employee for the computation period or periods to which the award or agreement pertains rather than the computation period in which the award, agreement or payment is made. The same Hours of Service shall not be credited both under this paragraph and either paragraph (a) or paragraph (b).
(d)	In the event no Employer record exists for a period for which Hours of Service must be credited under the provisions of this Appendix 10, an Employee shall be credited with 190 Hours of Service for each calendar month in which he is entitled to be credited with one Hour of Service under the provisions of this Appendix 10.

The Pension payable upon the Member’s Normal Retirement Date shall be paid in the form of a single life annuity if the Member is unmarried on his Normal Retirement Date or in the form of a Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity if the Member is married on such date. However, in lieu of the normal form of payment, a Member may elect to receive his Pension payable on and after his Normal Retirement Date in accordance with one of the Options in Section 6.2. Such an election shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.3 of the Core Document. In the event the Member continues the same option in effect, the amount of his Pension will be the greater of the amount determined under the option as of his Annuity Starting Date or the amount he was receiving under the option immediately prior to his Annuity Starting Date.

The Retirement Committee shall furnish to each Member within a reasonable period of time prior to the commencement of his disability retirement Pension a written explanation in nontechnical

language which describes (i) the terms and conditions of the surviving Spouse’s Pension under Section 5.6, (ii) the Member’s right to make, and the effect of, an election to waive the surviving Spouse’s Pension under Section 5.6, (iii) the rights of the Member’s spouse and (iv) the right to make, and the effect of, a revocation of such an election. An election of Option 1, 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8, or Option 2 or 3 with a non-spouse Beneficiary, under Section 6.2 by a married Member shall require a waiver of the surviving Spouse’s Pension under Section 5.6 and is subject to the spousal consent provisions of Section 2.3(a)(ii) of the Core Document. An election of the Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity or Option 1 may be made at any time and from time to time during the period commencing 90 days the Member’s disability retirement date and ending on the Member’s Normal Retirement Date. Any such election shall be effective on the Member’s disability retirement date or the date the election is received by the Retirement Committee, if later. An election of any other Option may only be made within the 90-day period preceding the Member’s disability retirement date to take effect on the Member’s disability retirement date. A revocation of any election may be made at any time prior to the Member’s Normal Retirement Date and shall be effective when received by the Retirement Committee. Any election of a form of payment under this paragraph shall in any event cease to be effective on the Member’s Normal Retirement Date. Any Pension payable under this Section shall be in lieu of any surviving Spouse’s Pension payable under Section 5.6.

(a)	Eligibility. A Member who terminates employment with the Employer and all Affiliated Employers for reasons other than retirement or death, and has five or more years of Vesting Service prior to his termination date shall be eligible for a vested Pension.
(b)	Commencement. The vested Pension shall be an unreduced deferred Pension beginning as of the Member’s Normal Retirement Date. However, a Member may elect to receive a reduced vested Pension effective as of the first day of any earlier month (i) coincident with or following the date he attains age 55, or (ii) following the date he terminates employment provided the present value of his Pension payable under this Appendix 10 upon the commencement date does not exceed $10,000. Alternatively, a Member may elect to postpone commencement of his vested Pension to the first day of any month following his Normal Retirement Date, but not later than his Required Beginning Date. Pension checks are issued at the end of each month for which payment is due.
(c)	Amount. Subject to the provisions of Section 6.1(b), the amount of a Member’s vested Pension payable as of his Normal Retirement Date shall be equal to his

January 1, 2009

Accrued Benefit determined as of the date of the Member’s termination of employment. If the vested Pension commences after the Member’s Normal Retirement Date, the Pension shall be of Equivalent Actuarial Value to the Pension otherwise payable at the Member’s Normal Retirement Date. If the vested Pension commences prior to a Member’s Normal Retirement Date but on or after his 55th birthday, the Pension payable as of the earlier commencement date shall be reduced as provided for early retirement commencement under Section 5.3(c). If the vested Pension commences prior to the Member’s 55th birthday, the Pension shall be of Equivalent Actuarial Value at the Pension otherwise payable at his Normal Retirement Date.

5.6 Surviving Spouse’s Pension

(a) Eligibility. The surviving Spouse of a married Member shall be eligible for a surviving Spouse’s Pension if such married Member dies before his Annuity Starting Date:

(i)	In active service after he has completed the requirements for a normal retirement Pension under Section 5.1; a late retirement Pension under Section 5.2; or an early retirement Pension under Section 5.3; or
(ii)	After retiring with entitlement to a normal retirement Pension under Section 5.1; a late retirement Pension under Section 5.2; or an early retirement Pension under Section 5.3; or
(iii)	Either in active service or after terminating service on or after January 1, 1976, but in either event with entitlement to a vested Pension under Section 5.5.

Notwithstanding the above, the Pension payable to a surviving Spouse upon the death of a Member in receipt of a disability retirement Pension under the provisions of Section 5.4(b)(iv)(B) shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of that Section.

(b) Commencement. Payment of the surviving Spouse’s Pension to the Spouse shall commence as of the Member’s Normal Retirement Date or as of the first day of the month coincident with or next following his date of death, if later. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the surviving Spouse may elect to commence payment of the surviving Spouse’s Pension on the first day of any earlier month coincident with or following the earliest date the Member could have elected to commence benefit payments or the first day of any month coincident with or following his date of death, if later, or the surviving Spouse may elect to defer payments up to the first day of any month following the Member’s Normal Retirement Date, but not later than the first day of the month following the date the deceased Member would have attained age 70¹/2. Pension checks are issued at the end of each month for which payment is due.

Universal Packaging Corporation Pension Plan	14

	(c)	Amount. The amount of the monthly surviving Spouse’s Pension payable to the Member’s Spouse shall be equal to the Pension that would have been payable to his Spouse if the Member had elected to have his Pension commence in the form of a Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity on his Normal Retirement Date or upon his date of death, if later.
��		However, if within the 180-day period (90-day period prior to January 1, 2009) prior to his Annuity Starting Date a Member has elected Option 2 or 3 under Section 6.2 with his Spouse designated as the Beneficiary, such optional form of payment shall be used for computing the surviving Spouse’s Pension instead of the Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity.
		In any case in which the surviving Spouse’s Pension commences (in accordance with paragraph (b) above) prior to the Member’s Normal Retirement Date, the amount of the surviving Spouse’s Pension shall be adjusted to reflect a reduction for early commencement equivalent to the reduction that would have been applied in determining the amount of the Member’s Pension under the provisions of Section 5.3 or 5.5, as applicable, had the Member begun to receive his Pension as of such commencement date.
		In any case in which the surviving Spouse elects to defer commencement after the Member’s Normal Retirement Date, the surviving Spouse’s Pension shall be of Equivalent Actuarial Value to the Pension otherwise payable to the Spouse at the later of the Member’s Normal Retirement Date or the earliest date the Spouse was eligible to commence payment.
		In the event a Member dies on or after January 1, 2007, while in qualified military service and while his reemployment rights are protected under law, the surviving Spouse’s Pension shall be calculated based on the assumption that the Member had returned to active employment and then terminated employment on account of his or her death. However, in determining the amount of the surviving Spouse’s Pension, the Member’s Accrued Benefit shall be determined at the date the Member entered military service, based on the benefit level then in effect and the Benefit Service the Member had accrued as of that date.
	(d)	Small Lump Sum Payment. Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Section, a lump sum payment of Equivalent Actuarial Value shall be paid to the Spouse in lieu of the monthly Pension if the present value of the Spouse’s Pension payable as of the Member’s Normal Retirement Date or date of death, if later, amounts to $5,000 or less. The lump sum payment shall be made as soon as practicable following the Member’s date of death. In no event shall a lump sum payment be made following the date Pension payments have commenced to the Spouse as an annuity.
