AMENDMENT 1999-2
TO FURON COMPANY
SUPPLEMENTAL EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLAN
(As Amended as of June 1, 1997)
WHEREAS, Furon Company (the "Company") maintains the Supplemental
Executive Retirement Plan (the "Plan"); and
WHEREAS, the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") has the
authority to amend the Plan; and
WHEREAS, the Board desires to amend the Plan, effective immediately for
any benefit under the Plan not paid as of the date of adoption of this
Amendment, except as specified below:
NOW, THEREFORE, the Plan is hereby amended as follows:
1. The second sentence of Section 1.3 of the Plan is amended to read as follows;
such Amendment shall apply only to Participants whose benefit payments have not
commenced as of the date this Amendment is adopted:
"Such straight life annuity shall be calculated by converting the
Company-provided portion of the Basic Plan Benefit (including investment
earnings on such portion) as of the Participant's Retirement using (a) a
post-retirement interest rate equal to the interest rate established by the
Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation for valuing immediate annuities as of the
date the benefit is calculated, and (b) a mortality assumption from whichever of
the following tables specifies a longer life expectancy for a person who is 65
years old as of the date the benefit is calculated: (i) the 1983 Individual
Annuity Mortality Table (Unisex), or (ii) the "applicable mortality table" under
Code Section 417(e)(3)(A)(ii)(I), or its successor."
2. The first paragraph of Section 7.1 is amended to read as follows:
"7.1 Upon the occurrence of an Event, a lump sum cash payment will be
made to each Participant who has not made an election in accordance with Section
7.3. In the case of a Participant who is retired, disabled or not actively
employed by the Company on the date of the Event, and in the case of a spouse
receiving death benefits, the cash lump sum shall be the lump sum value of the
expected remaining payments, calculated according to the assumptions to be used
for converting the Company-provided portion of the Basic Plan Benefit as
specified in Section 1.3. In the case of any Participant actively employed by
the Company on the date of the Event, the cash lump-sum benefit will equal the
benefit the Participant would be entitled to, using (both for purposes of
Sections 1.16 and 3.1) years of Service determined as follows:"
3
3. Section 7.2 is amended to read as follows:
"7.2 Upon the occurrence of an Event, the Plan shall terminate and
Participants shall not be entitled to earn additional benefits following the
date of the Event; provided, however, that the Plan shall continue with respect
to:
(a) The benefits earned prior to the date of the Event by a Buyout
Participant; and
(b) The benefits earned prior to the date of the Event (modified in
accordance with Section 7.1 for a Participant who was actively employed by the
Company on the date of the Event by a Participant who has made an election under
Section 7.3."
4. Section 7.3 is added to read as follows:
"7.3 Each Participant shall have the opportunity to elect not to receive
a lump sum cash payment upon the occurrence of an Event in accordance with
Section 7.1. Such an election shall be made on the designated form provided by
the Company which shall be kept on file with the Company. Participants who are
actively employed by the Company at the time they are entitled to make their
election shall be entitled to make two separate elections. The first possible
election shall apply if they remain actively employed by the Company at the time
of an Event, and the second possible election shall apply if they are not
actively employed by the Company at the time of an Event. If a Participant has
made such an election and an Event occurs:
(a) A payment equal to the lump sum cash value of the Participant's
entire remaining benefit will be paid to the Furon Company Supplemental
Executive Retirement Plan Trust (the "SERP Trust") within ten days of the Event;
(b) If the Participant was actively employed by the Company on the date
of the Event, and then terminates employment with the Company less than two
years after the date of the Event, the Participant's entire benefit shall be
paid in a cash lump sum (valued as of the date of payment) to the Participant in
accordance with Section 7.1 as soon as administratively feasible following the
Participant's termination of employment; or
(c) If the Participant is retired, disabled or not actively employed by
the Company on the date of the Event, or the Participant remains employed by the
Company for over two years following the date of the Event, the Participant will
receive his or her benefit in the normal manner under Sections IV, V and VI of
the Plan.
4
Payments under this section shall be made from the SERP Trust to the extent its
assets are sufficient. If the SERP Trust has insufficient assets to pay any
benefits due under this section, such benefits shall be paid from the general
assets of the Company. Each Participant as of April 1, 1999 must make the
election no later than May 31, 1999. Each person who becomes a Participant after
April 1, 1999 must make the election no later than 30 days after becoming a
Participant."
Executed this _____ day of April 1999.
