THE M.W. KELLOGG RETIREMENT PLAN
(As Amended and Restated Effective January 1, 1989)
INTRODUCTION
The M. W. Kellogg Retirement Plan (the "Plan") was established
effective July 1, 1981, following the termination of the Pullman Incorporated
Retirement Plan, for Employees of the M. W. Kellogg division of The M. W.
Kellogg Company (formerly Pullman Incorporated), a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Wheelabrator-Frye, Inc. Effective January 11, 1988, the Company became a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Dresser Industries, Inc.
Effective May 31, 1988, the Plan became a frozen plan.
Effective as of January 1, 1989, the Board of Directors of the Company
authorized the amendment and restatement of The M. W. Kellogg Retirement Plan as
in effect immediately prior to such date in the form of this plan to comply with
the provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986 and to make certain other changes
therein.
The Plan and its related Trust, which is intended to form a part of
the Plan, are intended to meet the requirements of Sections 401(a) and 501(a) of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as well as the requirements of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as either may be amended from time to
time.
NOW, THEREFORE, The M. W. Kellogg Company hereby amends and restates
in its entirety The M. W. Kellogg Retirement Plan, effective as of January 1,
1989:
SECTION 1
DEFINITIONS
The following words and phrases shall have the respective meanings
stated below unless a different meaning is clearly required by the context:
ACTUARIAL EQUIVALENT means a benefit having the same value, determined
on an actuarial basis, as the benefit which such Actuarial Equivalent replaces.
The determination of an Actuarial Equivalent shall be based on (i) 7.0%
interest, except for lump-sum payments, the value of which shall be arrived at
as provided in Section 9.4, and (ii) the 1971 TPF&C Forecast Mortality Table
Male Rates with a one-year setback for Participants and a five-year setback for
beneficiaries. An Actuarial Equivalent shall be determined by an actuary
appointed by the Company and such determination shall be conclusive. For
purposes of determining the $3,500 threshold on lump-sum payments, the interest
rate shall not exceed the interest rate which would be used (as of the beginning
of the Plan Year) by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation for determining
the present value of a lump-sum distribution on Plan termination if the
Actuarial Equivalent lump sum value of such vested accrued benefit (using such
rate) is not in excess of $25,000.
AFFILIATE means a corporation or other trade or business which is not
an Employer under this Plan but which, together with an Employer, is "under
common control" within the meaning of Code Section 414(b) or (c), as modified by
Code Section 415(h) where applicable; any organization (whether or not
incorporated) which, together with an Employer, is a member of an "affiliated
service group" within the meaning of Code Section 414(m); and any other entity
required to be aggregated with the Employer pursuant to regulations under Code
Section 414(o).
CODE means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
COMMITTEE means the Administrative Committee appointed by the Company
to act as administrator of the Plan and to perform the duties described in
Section 12.
COMPANY means The M. W. Kellogg Company, a Delaware corporation, or
any predecessor or successor corporation.
CREDITED SERVICE means the total number of months (for which he
receives or is entitled to receive compensation) of an Employee's latest period
of uninterrupted employment with the Company. Credited Service shall not
include any period during which an individual is included in a recognized
collective bargaining unit represented by a union with which the Company has
entered into a collective bargaining agreement, or any period during which an
individual is employed for the specific purpose of working on a designated
construction project for the duration of such project. Each Employee who was a
Participant
-2-
in the Prior Plan on June 30, 1981 shall be credited with Credited Service
equal to the Continuous Service credited to him as of June 30, 1981 under the
Prior Plan.
An individual's Credited Service also shall include the following
periods of time regardless of whether he receives compensation therefor from the
Company:
(a) any period of absence from active employment with the
Company prior to his Retirement Date of up to 24 months due to layoff;
(b) any period of absence from active employment with the
Company prior to his Retirement Date due to "Disability."
"Disability" shall constitute a mental or physical condition of such
individual which the Committee, on the basis of evidence satisfactory
to it, finds to be a permanent condition which renders such individual
unfit to perform the duties of an Employee, as such duties shall be
determined by the Committee;
(c) any period of absence from active employment with the
Company prior to his Retirement Date due to service in the United
States Armed Forces provided he is reemployed by the Company in
accordance with applicable statutes following his discharge from
military service;
(d) any period of absence from active employment with the
Company prior to his Retirement Date due to a Company directed leave
of absence, and a period of up to 12 months during which an Employee
is absent from work by reason of the Employee's pregnancy, the birth
of a child of the Employee or the placement of a child with the
Employee in connection with the adoption of such child by the Employee
or for purposes of caring for such child for the period immediately
following such birth or placement, which period shall be considered as
a Company directed leave of absence for the purposes of Section 1
hereof; and/or
(e) any other period of absence from active employment with the
Company if such Employee is again credited with an hour of service
within 12 months of the date such absence began.
In computing the Credited Service of an Employee, an hour for which he
is paid or entitled to payment by the Company during any calendar day within a
calendar month shall be counted as service for the full calendar month. No
Employee shall receive credit for more than 1 month of Credited Service for any
1 calendar month nor shall he receive credit for more than 12 months of Credited
Service during any Plan Year.
-3-
An Employee will incur a break in his Credited Service on the last day
of the calendar month in which his employment is terminated.
When an Employee's Continuous Service is broken as a result of (i) his
failure or refusal to return to work for the Company promptly after a sick leave
or an authorized leave of absence, or after he recovers from disability; or
(ii) his leaving the employ of the Company for service in the Armed Forces of
the United States and fails to make application for reemployment by the Company
in accordance with applicable statutes following his discharge from military
service, such break shall be deemed to have occurred as of the end of the last
calendar month during any part of which there was an hour in which he was paid
or entitled to payment by the Company; provided, however, that if the authorized
leave of absence referred to in (i) above was a Company directed leave of
absence, the break shall be deemed to have occurred on the last day of the
calendar month during which such leave of absence is terminated by the Company.
When an Employee's Continuous Service is broken as a result of any of the other
causes listed above, such break shall be deemed to have occurred on the last day
of the calendar month during which the event which caused such break took place.
If an Employee who has met the requirements for vesting set forth in
Section 8 hereof incurs a break in his Credited Service as a result of any of
the causes listed above and subsequently returns to the employ of the Company,
his participation in the Plan shall be reinstated immediately. He shall retain
his previously accumulated Credited Service and he shall be credited with
additional Credited Service for his continuous employment with the Company after
such return.
If an Employee who has not met the requirements for vesting set forth
in Section 8 hereof incurs a break in his Credited Service and subsequently
returns to the employ of the Company, his participation in the Plan shall be
reinstated immediately. If the total period of time elapsed from the effective
date of such break to the effective date of his reemployment is less than the
greater of (a) 60 consecutive months and (b) the period of his previous
employment, he shall retain his previously accumulated Credited Service and he
shall be credited with additional Credited Service for his continuous employment
during such new period of employment. If the total period of time elapsed from
the effective date of such break to the effective date of his reemployment
equals or exceeds the greater of (a) 60 consecutive months and (b) his months of
previously accumulated Credited Service, he shall forfeit his previously
accumulated Credited Service and shall be credited with Credited Service for his
continuous service during such new period of employment.
No individual shall accrue Credited Service with respect to employment
after May 31, 1988.
-4-
EMPLOYEE means any person employed by the Company other than (a) an
individual whose terms of employment are governed by a collective bargaining
agreement unless such collective bargaining agreement specifically provides
otherwise; (b) an individual compensated on an hourly wage as opposed to salary
basis (except as provided in (a) above); (c) an individual who is a consultant;
(d) an individual hired to work only on a specific project or projects from time
to time; and (e) an individual hired as a non-benefit direct contract Employee.
An Employee shall include (i) any individual who is a United States citizen and
who is (1) employed on a regular, non-temporary basis by a foreign subsidiary of
the Company which has not adopted the Plan (but only if such foreign subsidiary
is covered by an agreement entered into under section 3121(1) of the Code), or
(2) employed by a domestic subsidiary of the Company which has not adopted the
Plan and which is primarily engaged in business outside the United States,
provided in either case, such individual is not covered under a funded deferred
compensation plan maintained by such subsidiary with respect to remuneration
paid to such individual by such subsidiary or (ii) a leased Employee within the
meaning of Section 414(n)(2) of the Code.
EMPLOYER means the Company, and any other Affiliate that may adopt
this Plan in the future and the successors, if any, to such Affiliate.
FINAL AVERAGE ANNUAL EARNINGS means 12 times a Participant's Final
Average Monthly Earnings.
FINAL AVERAGE MONTHLY EARNINGS means:
(i) for a Participant who has accumulated 120 or more months of
Credited Service the higher of (1) the average of his Monthly Earnings
during the last 60 months of his Credited Service or (2) the average
of his Monthly Earnings during that combination of any 5 consecutive
calendar years during the last 120 months of his Credited Service
which produces the highest average Monthly Earnings,
(ii) for a Participant who has accumulated more than 60 but less
than 120 months of Credited Service the higher of (1) the average of
his Monthly Earnings during the last 60 months of his Credited Service
or (2) the average of his Monthly Earnings during that combination of
any 5 consecutive calendar years during the entire period of his
Credited Service which produces the highest average Monthly Earnings,
and
(iii) for a Participant who has accumulated 60 or less months
of Credited Service prior to his Retirement Date the average of his
Monthly Earnings during the entire period of his Credited Service.
-5-
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, if a
Participant is totally Disabled on his Retirement Date or if he was on layoff or
on a Company directed leave of absence immediately prior to the date on which
his Credited Service is broken, the calculation of his Final Average Monthly
Earnings shall be made using only the appropriate portion of his Credited
Service which was accumulated prior to the date on which he became disabled, the
date he was placed on layoff or the date on which he commenced such leave of
absence, whichever is applicable, and using only his Monthly Earnings during
such portion of his Credited Service.
The determination of "Final Average Monthly Earnings" shall not
include any compensation paid to or earned by a Participant after May 31, 1988.
HOUR OF SERVICE means
(1) Each hour for which an Employee is paid, or entitled to
payment, for the performance of duties for the Company. These hours
shall be credited to the Employee for the computation period in which
the duties are performed; and
(2) Each hour for which an Employee is paid, or entitled to
payment, by the Company 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. No more than 501 hours of service shall be credited
under this paragraph for any single continuous period (whether or not
such period occurs in a single computation period). Hours under this
paragraph shall be calculated and credited pursuant to
Section 2530.200b-2 of the Department of Labor Regulations which are
incorporated herein by this reference; and
(3) Each hour for which back pay, irrespective of mitigation of
damages, is either awarded or agreed to by the Company. The same
hours of service shall not be credited both under paragraph (1) or
paragraph (2), as the case may be, and under this paragraph (3).
These hours 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.
MONTHLY EARNINGS means, for periods prior to July 1, 1981, the total
compensation received by a Participant in any one calendar month including the
salary or wages paid plus such other compensation, if any, paid to the
Participant which is determined to be includable under uniform rules established
by the Company in accordance with Section 12 hereof. Subject to Section 13.2
hereof, for periods after
-6-
June 30, 1981 but prior to January 1, 1984, "Monthly Earnings" means the
compensation paid during a Plan Year (excluding tuition reimbursement, moving
expense allowances, severance payments, vacation payoffs and pay in lieu of
notice) divided by the number of months within that Plan Year for which the
Participant earns Credited Service.
For periods after January 1, 1984, "Monthly Earnings" means
compensation paid a Participant during a Plan Year including base pay, overtime,
management bonuses of up to 50% of base pay, extended work-week and shift
differential payments and interim travel pay, and including amounts deferred by
such Participant pursuant to an option authorized by section 125 and/or
section 401(k) of the Code under a plan adopted by a Company, but excluding
contributions to any other deferred compensation program (including this Plan),
stock options, restricted stock, and any other form of extraordinary
remuneration, including, but not limited to, overseas or cost-of-living
allowances, divided by the number of months within that Plan Year included in
the Participant's Credited Service.
No compensation paid to a Participant after May 31, 1988 shall be
included in "Monthly Earnings" for any purpose under the Plan.
Effective January 1, 1989, in no event shall the Monthly Earnings
taken into account under the Plan for any Employee annually exceed $200,000
prior to January 1, 1994, or $150,000 on or after January 1, 1994, or such other
dollar amount as may be prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury or his
delegate. For purposes of applying the applicable limit on Monthly Earnings,
the family unit of an Employee who either is a 5% owner or is both a highly
compensated Employee and one of the ten most highly compensated Employees will
be treated as a single Employee with Monthly Earnings, and the $200,000 limit
will be allocated among the members of the family unit in proportion to the
total Monthly Earnings of each member of the family unit. For this purpose, a
family unit consists of the Employee who is a 5% owner or one of the ten most
highly compensated Employees, the Employee's spouse, and the Employee's lineal
descendants who have not attained age 19 before the close of the year.
PARTICIPANT means any Employee who meets the requirements of
Section 3.
PLAN means The M. W. Kellogg Retirement Plan, as established effective
July 1, 1981 and as amended and restated effective January 1, 1989, and as
hereafter amended from time to time.
PLAN YEAR means the twelve-month period commencing May 1 of each
calendar year and ending April 30 of the following calendar year.
PRIOR PLAN means the Pullman Incorporated Retirement Plan as in effect
on June 30, 1981, the date of its termination.
-7-
TRUST means the trust or trusts established for receiving, holding,
investing and disposing of the Trust Fund, as provided in Section 14.
TRUSTEE means the Trustee of a Trust.
TRUST FUND means the money or other property or assets which shall be
held from time to time by the Trustee or Trustees under the Trust.
VESTING SERVICE means the total number of years of Credited Service
for which he receives or is entitled to receive compensation except that if, in
any calendar year, an Employee is credited with at least 1,000 Hours of Service,
he shall be credited with one year of Vesting Service and if he is credited with
at least 500 hours of service, he shall not suffer a break in Vesting Service
for such calendar year. If, in any calendar month, an Employee is credited with
at least one hour of service, he shall be credited with 190 hours of service for
that month.

SECTION 6
AMOUNT OF NORMAL RETIREMENT INCOME
6.1 COMPUTATION OF ANNUAL NORMAL RETIREMENT INCOME CREDIT AT NORMAL
RETIREMENT DATE. Subject to the provisions of Subsections 6.5, 6.6, 6.7, 6.8,
6.9 and 6.10 hereof, a Participant who attains his Normal Retirement Date on or
after July 1, 1981, and retires shall be entitled to an Annual Normal Retirement
Income Credit equal to the sum, not to exceed 60% of his Final Average Annual
Earnings, of (i) his Annual Basic Part Retirement Income Credit and (ii) his
Annual Supplemental Part Retirement Income Credit, if any, determined as
follows:
(A) ANNUAL BASIC PART RETIREMENT INCOME CREDIT. Each Participant
shall be credited with an Annual Basic Part Retirement Income Credit equal to
1.0% of the lesser of (a) his Final Average Monthly Earnings and (b) 1/12 of his
Integration Level, multiplied by his Credited Service.
Each such Participant who attains his Normal Retirement Date during
any calendar year after 1981 and retires shall have an Integration Level equal
to the average of maximum wages upon which Social Security taxes are based in
each of the calendar years beginning with 1959, or the year of the Participant's
29th birthday, whichever is later, and ending with the calendar year in which
the Participant reaches his 64th birthday, assuming no change in the Social
Security maximum wage base after the Participant's termination of employment,
death or retirement as applicable.
(B) ANNUAL SUPPLEMENTAL PART RETIREMENT INCOME CREDIT. Each such
Participant shall be credited with an Annual Supplemental Part Retirement Income
Credit equal to 1.6% of the excess, if any, of his Final Average Monthly
Earnings over 1/12 of his Integration Level multiplied by his Credited Service.
In the determination of any Annual Normal Retirement Income Credit for
a Participant who attains his Normal Retirement Date on or after July 1, 1981
and retires and who, solely because he is a non-resident alien of the United
States, does not qualify for United States Social Security benefits on his
Retirement Date, the Annual Basic Part Retirement Income Credit for such
Participant will be as follows and not as stated in Paragraph (A) of this
Subsection 6.1:
1.6% of the lesser of (a) his Final Average Monthly Earnings and
(b) 1/12 of his Integration Level multiplied by his Credited Service
less any old age retirement income benefits to which such Participant
is entitled under the laws of any country or countries, other than the
United States of America and which are not attributable to his
contributions under such foreign laws.
-13-
A Participant's Annual Normal Retirement Income Credit shall not
reflect any Credited Service, Final Average Monthly Earnings, or Monthly
Earnings arising from employment subsequent to May 31, 1988.
6.2 NORMAL FORMS OF RETIREMENT INCOME PAYMENTS AT PARTICIPANT'S RETIREMENT
DATE. Unless a Participant who retires when he attains his Retirement Date on
or after July 1, 1981 elects an optional form of retirement income payment
pursuant to Section 9 hereof, retirement income payments shall be made in
whichever of the following manners is applicable:
(A) PARTICIPANT WHO IS NOT MARRIED ON HIS RETIREMENT DATE. If such a
Participant is not married on his Retirement Date, all retirement income
payments under the Plan shall be made to him in equal monthly installments.
Each monthly installment shall be equal to 1/12 of his Annual Normal Retirement
Income Credit determined in accordance with Section 6.
The first monthly installment shall be payable to such Participant as
of his Retirement Date. Subsequent monthly installments shall be payable on the
first day of each calendar month thereafter, terminating with the payment made
on the first day of the month in which he dies.
(B) PARTICIPANT WHO IS MARRIED ON HIS RETIREMENT DATE. If such a
Participant is married on his Retirement Date, all retirement income payments
shall be made as follows:
(1) TO THE RETIRED PARTICIPANT: A reduced retirement income,
the first monthly payment thereof being payable to him as of his
Retirement Date. Subsequent monthly installments shall be payable to
him on the first day of each calendar month thereafter throughout his
lifetime, terminating with the payment made on the first day of the
month in which he dies.
(2) TO THE PARTICIPANT'S SPOUSE: A contingent retirement
income, the first monthly payment thereof being payable on the first
day of the month following the calendar month in which the Participant
dies, if such spouse is living on such date. Subsequent monthly
installments shall be payable to such spouse on the first day of each
calendar month thereafter throughout such spouse's remaining lifetime,
terminating with the payment made on the first day of the month in
which such spouse dies. The monthly amount of retirement income
payable to such spouse shall be 50% of the reduced retirement income
payable to such Participant unless such Participant, prior to his
Retirement Date, elects another optional form of retirement income
payment pursuant to Section 9 hereof.
-14-
Such Participant, prior to his Retirement Date, shall provide the
Company with evidence satisfactory to the Company as to his spouse's age. The
retirement income payable to such Participant under this Paragraph (B)(2) shall
be the Actuarial Equivalent of the retirement income to which he would otherwise
be entitled under the Plan. A written explanation of the terms and conditions
of the form of benefit under Paragraph (B)(2) and the effect of refusing it will
be furnished to a Participant on or about nine months prior to the date when he
would first become eligible to commence receiving a benefit hereunder. The
Participant may request additional information regarding the benefits under
Paragraph (B)(2) within 60 days of the furnishing of such explanation to him. A
written reply will be made within 30 days of his request. During an election
period beginning 90 days prior to the benefit commencement date, the Participant
may elect in writing to the Committee not to receive payment of his vested
benefit in the form specified under Paragraph (B)(2), in which case the normal
form of payment described in Paragraph (A) shall be applicable unless an
optional form becomes operative under Section 9. During the election period the
Participant may revoke and choose elections in writing to the Committee. A
married Participant who elects not to receive the form specified under
Paragraph (B)(2) must obtain the consent of his spouse which shall not be
effective unless: (i) Participant's spouse consents in writing to the election;
(ii) the election designates a specific alternate beneficiary (including any
class of beneficiaries or any contingent beneficiaries) and a form of benefit
which may not be changed without any further spousal consent (or the consent of
the spouse expressly permits designations by the Participant without any
requirement of further consent by the spouse); (iii) the spouse's consent
acknowledges the effect of the election; and (iv) the spouse's consent is
witnessed by a Plan representative or notary public. If it is established to
the satisfaction of a Plan representative that such written consent may not be
obtained because there is no spouse or the spouse cannot be located, a waiver
will be deemed a qualified election. Any consent by a spouse under this Section
(or establishment that the consent of the spouse cannot be obtained) shall be
effective only with respect to such spouse. A consent that permits designations
by the Participant without any requirement of further consent by the spouse must
acknowledge that the spouse has the right to limit consent to a specific
beneficiary, and a specific form of benefit where applicable, and that the
spouse voluntarily elects to relinquish either or both of such rights. A
revocation of a prior waiver may be made by a Participant without the consent of
the spouse at any time prior to the commencement of benefits. The number of
revocations shall not be limited. For purposes of this Section, the spouse or
surviving spouse of the Participant shall be deemed the recipient of the form of
benefit under Paragraph (B)(2), provided that a former spouse will be treated as
the spouse or surviving spouse to the extent provided under a qualified domestic
relations order as described in Section 414(p) of the Code.
In the event that such Participant after meeting the requirements for
early retirement as provided in Subsection 5.2 hereof and prior to his
Retirement Date either (i) elects to receive retirement income payments in the
form described in Subsection 6.2(A), or (ii) elects to receive an optional form
of retirement income in
-15-
accordance with Section 9 hereof, payment shall be made in accordance with
such election. In the event that a Participant's spouse is not living on
Retirement Date, payment shall be made in accordance with Section 6.2(A). In
the event that the then present value of such Participant's total Normal
Retirement Credits is less than $3,500, payment shall be made as provided in
Subsection 10.1 hereof.
6.3 AT EARLY RETIREMENT DATE. Subject to the provisions of
Subsections 6.5, 6.6, 6.7, 6.8, 6.9 and 6.10 hereof, the annual amount of normal
retirement income otherwise payable under the Plan to a Participant whose
Retirement Date is his Early Retirement Date and who has elected to commence
receiving reduced retirement income payments under the Plan prior to his Normal
Retirement Date shall be the reduced retirement income which is a percentage of
the normal retirement income he would otherwise have received commencing on his
Normal Retirement Date. For the specific formula see table set forth herein as
Exhibit A to the Plan.
6.4 AT POSTPONED RETIREMENT DATE. The annual amount of normal retirement
income payment to a retired Participant whose retirement income payments are
postponed to his Postponed Retirement Date shall be the same annual amount of
retirement income which he would have received had he retired on his Normal
Retirement Date.
6.5 FORMER PARTICIPANTS. Any participant in the Prior Plan whose
employment with the Company or with any subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company
was terminated prior to July 1, 1981 and to whom retirement income payments have
not commenced prior to July 1, 1981 shall have the annual amount of normal
retirement income payable to him, if any, determined in accordance with the
provisions of the Prior Plan in effect on the date his employment was so
terminated.
6.6 NO DUPLICATION OF BENEFITS. Except, as otherwise provided in
Subsection 13.2 or 13.3 hereof, no one shall be entitled to any benefits
hereunder with respect to any period of Credited Service for which he is
entitled to benefits under any other defined benefit pension or retirement plan,
other than Railroad Retirement and Federal Social Security, towards which the
Company or any Affiliate makes contributions.
6.7 LIMITATION ON BENEFITS. Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to
the contrary, the total Annual Benefit (as hereinafter defined) received by an
Employee shall be subject to the following limitations:
(I) SINGLE DEFINED BENEFIT PLAN
The normal retirement benefit of any Employee under this Plan
cannot exceed the lesser of $90,000 (increased annually for Limitation
Years beginning after December 31, 1987 in accordance with
Section 415(d) of the Code to reflect cost-of-living adjustments) or
100% of such Employee's
-16-
Average Compensation. For purposes of determining whether an Employee's
benefits exceed these limitations, the following rules shall apply:
1. Adjustment If Benefit Not Single Life Annuity
If the normal form of benefit is other than a single life
annuity, such form must be adjusted actuarially to the equivalent of a
single life annuity. This single life annuity cannot exceed the
maximum dollar or percent limitations outlined above. No adjustment
is required for the following: qualified joint and survivor annuity
benefits, pre-retirement disability benefits, pre-retirement death
benefits and post-retirement medical benefits.
2. Adjustment If Benefit Commences Before Social Security
Retirement Age
If benefit distributions commence before Social Security
Retirement Age, the actual retirement benefit cannot exceed the lesser
of 100% of the Employee's Average Compensation or the adjusted dollar
limitation. The adjusted dollar limitation is the Actuarial
Equivalent of $90,000 (adjusted in accordance with Code Section
415(d)) commencing at Social Security Retirement Age.
3. Adjustment If Benefit Commences After Social Security
Retirement Age
If Plan benefits commence after Social Security Retirement Age,
the dollar limitation shall be adjusted to the Actuarial Equivalent of
$90,000 commencing at Social Security Retirement Age.
4. Social Security Retirement Age Defined
"Social Security Retirement Age" as used herein shall mean the
age used as the retirement age under Section 216(l) of the Social
Security Act, except that such Section shall be applied without regard
to the age increase factor and as if the early retirement age under
Section 216(l)(2) of such Act were 62.
5. Interest Assumption
The interest rate used for adjusting the maximum limitations
above shall be:
-17-
A. For benefits commencing before Social Security Retirement
Age and for forms of benefit other than straight life annuity, the
GREATER of:
(i) 5%, or
(ii) the rate used to determine
actuarial equivalence for other purposes of this
Plan.
B. For benefits commencing after Social Security Retirement
Age, the LESSER of:
(i) 5%, or
(ii) the rate used to determine
actuarial equivalence for other purposes of this
Plan.
6. Adjustment For Small Benefits
The limitations set forth in Subsection (I) shall be deemed
satisfied if the Annual Benefit payable to a Participant is not more
than $1,000 multiplied by the Participant's number of years of service
or parts thereof (not to exceed 10) with the Employer, and the
Employer has not at any time maintained a defined contribution plan, a
welfare plan as defined in Code Section 419(e), or an individual
medical account as defined in Code Section 415(l)(2), in which such
Participant participated.
7. Reduction For Participation or Service of Less Than 10 Years
If the Employee has less than 10 years of participation in a
defined benefit plan of the Employer, the dollar limitation set forth
in Subsection (I) shall be reduced by 1/10 for each year of
participation (or part thereof) less than 10. If the Employee has
less than 10 years of service with the Employer, the compensation
limitation set forth in Subsection (I) shall be reduced by 1/10 for
each year of service (or part thereof) less than 10. These
adjustments shall be applied in the denominator of the "defined
benefit plan fraction" based upon years of service. Years of service
shall include future years occurring before the Employee reaches age
65, and shall include the year which contains the date the Employee
reaches age 65 only if it can be reasonably anticipated that the
Employee will receive a year of service for such year.
-18-
8. Protected Accrued Benefit
In the case of an Employee who was a participant in one or more
defined benefit plans of the Employer as of January 1, 1987, the
application of this Section 6.7 shall not cause the maximum annual
benefit for such Employee under all such plans to be less than such
Employee's Annual Benefit(s) as of December 31, 1986, provided, such
plans met the requirements of Code Section 415 for all Limitation
Years beginning before May 6, 1986 and any Accrued Benefit is
determined without regard to any change in the terms and conditions of
the plan (or cost of living adjustment) occurring after May 6, 1986.
(II) TWO OR MORE DEFINED BENEFIT PLANS
If the Employer maintains one or more defined benefit plans in
addition to this Plan, the sum of the normal retirement benefits of
all plans will be treated as a single benefit for the purposes of
applying the limitations in Subsection (I). If these benefits exceed,
in the aggregate, the limitations in Subsection (I), the normal
retirement benefit under this Plan shall be reduced (but not below
zero) until the sum of the benefits of the remaining plans satisfy the
limitations.
(III) DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PLAN AND DEFINED BENEFIT PLAN
1. GENERAL RULE: If the Employer maintains (or has ever
maintained) one or more defined contribution plans and one or more
defined benefit plans, the sum of the "defined contribution plan
fraction" and the "defined benefit plan fraction," as defined below,
cannot exceed 1.0 for any Limitation Year. For purposes of this
paragraph, Employee contributions to a qualified defined benefit plan
are treated as a separate defined contribution plan. For purposes of
this paragraph, all defined contribution plans of an Employer are to
be treated as one defined contribution plan and all defined benefit
plans of an Employer are to be treated as one defined benefit plan,
whether or not such plans have been terminated.
If the sum of the defined contribution plan fraction and defined
benefit plan fraction exceeds 1.0, the Annual Benefit of the defined
benefit plans will be reduced so that the sum of the fractions will
not exceed 1.0. In no event will the Annual Benefit be decreased
below the amount of the accrued benefit to date. If additional
reductions are required for the sum of the fractions to equal 1.0, the
reductions will then be made to the Annual Additions of the defined
contribution plans.
-19-
2. Defined Contribution Plan Fraction
A. GENERAL RULE: The defined contribution fraction
for any year is 1 divided by 2, where:
1 is the sum of the actual Annual Additions
to the Employee's account at the close of the
Limitation Year; and
2 is the sum of the lesser of the following
amounts determined for such year and for each
prior year of service of the Employee:
a. 1.25 times the dollar
limitation in effect for each such year
(without regard to the special dollar
limitations for Employee stock ownership
plans), or
b. 1.4 times 25% of the
Employee's compensation for each such
year.
B. If the Employee was a participant as of January 1,
1987, in one or more defined contribution plans maintained
by the Employer which were in existence on May 6, 1986, the
numerator of this fraction will be adjusted if the sum of
this fraction and the defined benefit fraction would
otherwise exceed 1.0 under the terms of this Plan. Under
the adjustment, an amount equal to the product of (1) the
excess of the sum of the fractions over 1.0 times (2) the
denominator of this fraction, will be permanently subtracted
from the numerator of this fraction. The adjustment is
calculated using the fractions as they would be computed as
of December 31, 1986, and disregarding any changes in the
terms and conditions of the plans made after May 6, 1986,
but using the Code Section 415 limitations applicable to the
1987 Limitation Year. The Annual Additions for any
Limitation Year before 1987 shall not be recomputed to treat
all Employee contributions as Annual Additions.
-20-
3. Defined Benefit Plan Fraction
A. GENERAL RULE: The defined benefit plan fraction
for any year is 1 divided by 2, where:
1 is the projected Annual Benefit of the
Employee under the Plan (determined as of the
close of the Limitation Year), and
2 is the lesser of
a. 1.25 times the dollar
limitation (as adjusted in accordance
with Code Section 415(d)) for such year,
or
b. 1.4 times 100% of the
Employee's Average Compensation for the
high 3 years (as adjusted in accordance
with Code Section 415(d)).
B. Notwithstanding the above, if the Employee was a
participant as of January 1, 1987, in one or more defined
benefit plans maintained by the Employer which were in
existence on May 6, 1986, the denominator of this fraction
will not be less than 125% of the sum of the Annual Benefits
under such plans which the Employee had accrued as of
December 31, 1986, disregarding any changes in the terms and
conditions of the plans after May 5, 1986. The preceding
sentence applies only if the defined benefit plans
individually and in the aggregate satisfied the requirements
of Code Section 415 for all Limitation Years beginning
before 1987.
(IV) DEFINITIONS. For purposes of this Section, the following defined
terms have been used:
1. EMPLOYER: The Company and any other Employer that adopts
this Plan. In the case of a group of employers which constitutes a
controlled group of corporations (as defined in Code Section 414(b) as
modified by Code Section 415(h)) or which constitutes trades and
businesses (whether or not incorporated) which are under common
control (as defined in Code
-21-
Section 414(c) as modified by Code Section 415(h)) or an affiliated
service group (as defined in Code Section 414(m)), all such employers
shall be considered a single Employer for purposes of applying the
limitations of this Subsection.
2. EXCESS AMOUNT: The excess of the Employee's Annual
Additions for the Limitation Year over the Maximum Permissible Amount.
3. LIMITATION YEAR: The Plan Year.
4. MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE AMOUNT: For a Limitation Year, the
Maximum Permissible Amount with respect to any Employee shall be the
lesser of:
A. $30,000 (increased annually for Limitation Years
beginning after December 31, 1987 in accordance with
Section 415(d) of the Code to reflect cost-of-living
adjustments), or
B. 25% of the Employee's compensation for the
Limitation Year.
5. COMPENSATION: For purposes of determining compliance with
the limitations of Code Section 415, compensation shall mean an
Employee's earned income, wages, salaries, fees for professional
services and other amounts received for personal services actually
rendered in the course of employment with an Employer maintaining the
Plan, including, but not limited to, commissions paid to salesmen,
compensation for services based on a percentage of profits,
commissions on insurance premiums, tips and bonuses, and excluding the
following:
(a) Employer contributions to a plan of deferred
compensation to the extent contributions are not included in
gross income of the Employee for the taxable year in which
contributed, or on behalf of an Employee to a simplified
Employee pension plan to the extent such contributions are
deductible under Code Section 219(b)(2), and any
distributions from a plan of deferred compensation whether
or not includable in the gross income of the Employee when
distributed (however, any amounts received by an Employee
pursuant to an unfunded nonqualified plan may be considered
as compensation in the year such amounts are included in the
gross income of the Employee);
-22-
(b) amounts realized from the exercise of a non-
qualified stock option, or when restricted stock (or
property) held by an Employee becomes freely transferable or
is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture;
(c) amounts realized from the sale, exchange or other
disposition of stock acquired under a qualified stock
option; and
(d) other amounts which receive special tax benefits,

For purposes of applying the limitations in this Section, amounts
included as compensation are those actually paid or made available to
an Employee within the Limitation Year. For Limitation Years
beginning after December 31, 1988, compensation shall be limited to
$200,000 prior to January 1, 1994, or $150,000 on or after January 1,
1994 (unless adjusted in the same manner as permitted under Code
Section 415(d)). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the
definition, compensation shall include any and all items which may be
includable in compensation under Section 415(c)(3) of the Code.
6. AVERAGE COMPENSATION: The average compensation during an
Employee's high 3 years of service, which period is the 3 consecutive
calendar years (or, the actual number of consecutive years of
employment for those Employees who are employed for less than
3 consecutive years with the Employer) during which the Employee had
the greatest aggregate compensation from the Employer.
7. ANNUAL BENEFIT: A benefit payable annually in the form of a
straight life annuity (with no ancillary benefits) under a plan to
which Employees do not contribute and under which no rollover
contributions are made.
-23-
8. ANNUAL ADDITIONS: The sum of the following amounts
allocated on behalf of an Employee for a Limitation Year:
A. All Employer contributions,

6.8 MINIMUM AMOUNT OF RETIREMENT INCOME. Notwithstanding the foregoing
provisions of this Section 6, each Participant who:
(i) was a Participant in the Prior Plan on March 31, 1980; and
(ii) becomes entitled to retirement income benefits under this
Plan
shall be entitled to receive the minimum amount of retirement income provided in
this Subsection 6.8 in lieu of the retirement income provided under the
provisions of Subsection 6.1, 6.2, 6.3 or 6.4 hereof, whichever is applicable,
if the latter amount is less than the minimum amount hereinafter provided in
this Subsection 6.8.
In the case of such a Participant the minimum annual amount of
retirement income (hereinafter called the Prior Plan Retirement Income Minimum),
which he is entitled to receive shall be equal to the amount of retirement
income he would have been entitled to receive under the Prior Plan, had the
Prior Plan as in effect on March 31, 1980 remained in effect through May 31,
1988. The Prior Plan Retirement Income Minimum shall be computed by applying
the provisions of Section 6.1 of the Plan with the following modifications and
changes:
(i) the phrase "not to exceed 60% of his Final Average Annual
Earnings" in the first paragraph of Section 6.1 shall be replaced by
the phrase "not to exceed 45% of his Final Average Annual Earnings";
(ii) the Applicable Integration Level set forth in section 6.1(A)
shall be replaced by the following frozen integration table:
-24-
Participant's Year Applicable Integration
of Birth Level
-------- -------
Before 1914 $ 6,000
1914 - 1938 6,600
1929 - 1935 7,200
After 1935 7,800
(iii) the reference to "1.0%" in Section 6.1(A) shall be
changed to ".9%"; and
(iv) the reference to "1.6%" in Section 6.1(B) shall be changed
to "1.35%."
6.9 OFFSET FOR BENEFITS PROVIDED UNDER PRIOR PLAN. If a Participant under
this Plan was a participant under the Prior Plan and is entitled to any benefit
under group annuity contracts purchased upon the termination of the Prior Plan
on June 30, 1981, including Metropolitan group annuity contracts 3668-3, 3669-4,
3670-7, 3671-8 and 3672-9 or Prudential group annuity contract GA-4102 (the
"Contracts"), then notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, any benefits
payable to such Participant or his or her beneficiary hereunder (other than a
benefit payable to a spouse of a Participant pursuant to Section 7) shall be
subject to offset as set forth below:
(a) Such Participant's Annual Normal Retirement Income Credit
shall be computed as provided in Section 6.1;
(b) The Annual Normal Retirement Income Credit which would be
required to provide the Actuarial Equivalent of the benefit to which
such Participant or his beneficiary is entitled under the Contracts
shall be computed; and
(c) Such Participant's Annual Normal Retirement Income Credit
for all purposes under the Plan shall be the amount by which (a) above
exceeds (b) above.
6.10 DISABILITY. If a Participant is determined by the Committee to be
"Disabled" as provided in Section 1, such Participant shall be entitled to an
Annual Normal Retirement Income Credit as of his Normal Retirement Date,
considering his Final Average Annual Earnings as of the date of his disability
and his Credited Service at his Normal Retirement
-25-
Date. Payment of such Participant's retirement income shall commence on such
Participant's Normal Retirement Date, which shall be considered as his
"Retirement Date" for the purposes of Section 6 hereof. For the purposes of
Section 7 hereof, a "Disabled" Participant shall be considered in the employ
of the Company until his Retirement Date, subject, however, to the provisions
of Section 1 hereof.
-26-
SECTION 7
DEATH BENEFITS
7.1 SPOUSE'S GUARANTY.
(a) PARTICIPANTS WHO DIE PRIOR TO AGE 55. If a Participant dies
prior to the date on which such Participant attains age 55 and if such
Participant is survived by a spouse legally married to such Participant at the
time of death, the spouse shall receive the retirement income which would have
been payable under Subsection 9.2 hereof if such Participant (1) had been
eligible to retire on the date of death, (2) had retired on the first day of the
month in which death occurred using an Actuarial Equivalent reduction factor for
the period between the Participant's age at death and age 55, and (3) had
elected a 50% Contingent Annuitant Option to be effective on such Retirement
Date with the spouse designated as Contingent Annuitant. Such retirement income
shall be in lieu of any death benefit which otherwise would be payable to such
spouse under the Plan or the Prior Plan.
The first payment of retirement income to a Participant's spouse in
accordance with the provisions of this Subsection 7.1(a) shall be made on the
first day of the calendar month following the calendar month in which the death
of the Participant occurs and payments shall terminate with the payment made on
the first day of the month in which such spouse dies.
(b) PARTICIPANTS WHO DIE AT OR AFTER AGE 55. If a Participant dies
on or after the later of (i) the date on which such Participant had met the
vesting requirements under the Plan set forth in Subsection 8.1 or (ii) the date
on which such Participant attains age 55 but prior to the date on which
retirement income payments commence and if such Participant leaves a surviving
spouse, the spouse shall receive the retirement income which would have been
payable under Subsection 9.2 hereof if such Participant had retired on the first
day of the month in which the death occurred and had elected a 50% Contingent
Annuitant Option to be effective on such Retirement Date with the spouse
designated as the Contingent Annuitant. Such retirement income shall be in lieu
of any death benefit which otherwise would be payable to such spouse under the
Plan or the Prior Plan.
The first payment of retirement income to a Participant's spouse in
accordance with the provisions of this Subsection 7.1(b) shall be made on the
first day of the calendar month following the calendar month in which the death
of the Participant occurs and payments shall terminate with the payment made on
the first day of the month in which such spouse dies.

SECTION 8
TERMINATION OF SERVICE
8.1 VESTING REQUIREMENTS. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to
the contrary, each Participant in the Plan on June 30, 1985, shall be fully
vested in his accrued Plan benefits as of June 30, 1985.
8.2 BENEFITS PAYABLE ON TERMINATION OF SERVICE BEFORE VESTING. If, for
any reason other than death or retirement on his Retirement Date, the Vesting
Service of a Participant is broken before he has met the requirements under the
Plan for vesting, all retirement income theretofore credited to him shall be
cancelled as of the date on which such break occurs.
8.3 BENEFITS PAYABLE ON TERMINATION OF SERVICE AFTER VESTING. If, for any
reason other than death or retirement on his Retirement Date, the Vesting
Service of a Participant is or has been broken after he has accrued 5 years or
more Vesting Service and before he has attained his 55th birthday, he shall,
upon attaining his Normal Retirement Date, be entitled to receive normal
retirement income in an annual amount determined in accordance with the
provisions of Section 6 hereof, based on his Credited Service to the date on
which such break occurs. Such a Participant may at any time not less than 60
days prior to the date on which retirement income payments are to commence to
him, elect to commence receiving reduced retirement income on the first day of
any month within the ten-year period immediately preceding his Normal Retirement
Date. The annual amount of normal retirement income payable to such a
Participant who elects to commence receiving reduced retirement income payments
under the Plan prior to his Normal Retirement Date shall be a percentage of the
normal retirement income he would otherwise have received commencing on his
Normal Retirement Date. (See table set forth herein as Appendix A to the
Plan.) Such a Participant also may elect an optional form of retirement
income in accordance with Section 9 hereof.
-28-
SECTION 9
OPTIONAL FORMS OF RETIREMENT INCOME
9.1 GENERAL PROVISIONS RELATIVE TO OPTIONS. Subject to the conditions and
restrictions hereinafter stated in this Section 9, a Participant, in lieu of the
retirement income payments otherwise provided in the Plan, may elect one of the
following optional forms of retirement income, a special form of retirement
income different from the options described in Subsections 9.2, 9.3, 9.4 and 9.5
hereof. Each such election:
(1) must be made on a form provided by the Company for that
purpose;
(2) except as otherwise provided in Subsections 9.3 and 9.5
hereof, must be made at least 60 days prior to the date on which such
Participant wants it to become effective; provided, however, that if a
Participant's Credited Service is interrupted because his job is
discontinued and as a result his employment terminates or because he
is discharged, he may, within 30 days after his Credited Service is so
interrupted, make an election to become effective on the first day of
any calendar month after the date on which his Credited Service was
interrupted;
(3) except as otherwise provided in Subsection 9.5 hereof, must
be made to become effective on the later of (i) the Participant's
Retirement Date or (ii) the date on which retirement income payments
commence to him; and
(4) may, within 60 days of the date payments are to commence, be
modified or rescinded.
If all of the conditions set forth in Subparagraphs 1 through 3 of
this Subsection 9.1 are not met, such election shall not become effective and
payment shall be made as otherwise provided in the Plan as though the option had
never been elected.
Unless otherwise specified, any optional form of retirement income
elected by a Participant pursuant to this Section 9 will be the Actuarial
Equivalent of the retirement income to which such Participant would otherwise be
entitled under the Plan.
9.2 CONTINGENT RETIREMENT INCOME OPTION. A Participant may elect a
Contingent Retirement Income Option providing payments of retirement income in a
reduced amount to him. Payments under this option will be made as follows:
-29-
(A) TO THE RETIRED PARTICIPANT: A reduced retirement income, the
first monthly payment thereof being payable on the option effective date and
subsequent monthly payments being payable on the first day of each month
thereafter throughout his remaining lifetime, terminating with the payment made
on the first day of the month in which his death occurs.
(B) TO THE PERSON DESIGNATED BY THE PARTICIPANT AS HIS CONTINGENT
ANNUITANT AT THE TIME HE ELECTS THIS OPTION: A contingent retirement income,
the first monthly payment thereof being payable on the first day of the month
following the calendar month in which the death of the Participant occurs on or
after the option effective date, if the Contingent Annuitant is living on such
first day of the month; subsequent monthly payments being payable on the first
day of each month thereafter throughout the Contingent Annuitant's remaining
lifetime, terminating with the monthly payment made on the first day of the
month in which the death of the Contingent Annuitant occurs.
The monthly amount of contingent retirement income payable to the
Contingent Annuitant shall be a percentage of the reduced retirement income
payable under this option to the Participant as requested by him at the time of
his election of this option. This percentage shall be 100%, 75%, or 50%,
provided that if the Contingent Annuitant is other than the Participant's
spouse:
(i) such Contingent Annuitant may not be more than 30 years
younger than the Participant if the requested percentage is 100%.
(ii) such Contingent Annuitant may not be more than 45 years
younger than the Participant if the requested percentage is 75%.
(iii) a corresponding maximum age differential shall apply if
the requested percentage is 50%.
Each election made by a Participant pursuant to this Subsection 9.2
shall provide for payments to be made to such Participant which have a present
value equal to at least 50% of the present value of the total payments to be
made to such Participant and to his Contingent Annuitant.
In the event that (i) the Participant or his Contingent Annuitant is
not living on the option effective date, (ii) the present value of such
Participant's total Normal Retirement Income Credits is less than $3,500, or
(iii) the Participant does not, within 90 days after his election of the option,
but not later than the option effective date, furnish evidence, satisfactory to
the Company, of the age of his Contingent Annuitant, the option shall not become
effective and payment shall be made as otherwise provided in the Plan as if this
option had never been elected.
-30-
9.3 LIFE-TEN YEARS CERTAIN OPTION. A Participant may elect the Life-Ten
Years Certain Option providing payments of retirement income in a reduced amount
to the Participant during his lifetime and terminating with the monthly payment
due on the first day of the month in which the Participant's death occurs with
the provision that if the Participant's death occurs prior to the date he has
received 120 monthly payments, monthly payments in the same amount will be
continued to the person designated by the Participant as his Provisional Payee
until an aggregate of 120 monthly payments have been made to the Participant and
his Provisional Payee. The first monthly payment shall be payable on the option
effective date.
In the event the Participant dies prior to the option effective date,
the option shall not become effective, and payments, if any, shall be made as
otherwise provided in the Plan as though this option had never been elected. If
the Provisional Payee dies before the option effective date, the option shall
not become effective unless the Participant designates another Provisional Payee
prior to the option effective date. The Participant shall have the right to
change his designation of a Provisional Payee at any time before or after the
option effective date.
In the event of the death of the Participant and his Provisional Payee
before 120 monthly payments have been made, the commuted value of the balance of
such payments shall be paid in a lump sum to the executor or administrator of
the estate of the second to die of the Participant and his Provisional Payee.
A Participant may also elect a Life-Five Years (60 months) Certain
Option or a Life-Fifteen Years (180 months) Certain Option with the preceding
provisions of this Section being appropriately applicable thereto.
9.4 LUMP-SUM CASH DISTRIBUTION OPTION. Subject to the conditions
hereinafter stated in this Subsection 9.4, a Participant who retires or a
surviving spouse entitled to a benefit under Section 7, may elect to receive in
lieu of all monthly retirement income payments otherwise payable under the Plan,
a single lump-sum cash distribution from the Plan. In the case of an electing
Participant, the distribution shall be payable on his Retirement Date. Such
election must be made to become effective on such Participant's Retirement Date.
Such lump-sum cash distribution shall be equal to the present value, determined
in accordance with the provisions of this Subsection 9.4, of the normal
retirement income payments otherwise provided for him under the Plan.
If the foregoing requirements are satisfied, the option shall become
effective on the Participant's Retirement Date if he is living on such date and
the present value of the normal retirement income payments otherwise provided
for him under the Plan shall be deemed to be the value arrived at by discounting
the total value of such payments by the greater of:
-31-
(i) 7%; or
(ii) the minimum interest rate established by the Pension Benefit
Guaranty Corporation for lump sum payments in an amount equal to or
less than $25,000 and the maximum interest rate established by the
Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation for lump-sum payments in an
amount which exceeds $25,000.
provided, that in the case of a Participant who, both on June 30, 1985 and on
May 31, 1988, is either an active Employee or a Participant receiving credit for
Credited Service, whose retirement income did not commence to be paid before
September 1, 1990, and who is living on his retirement income payment
commencement date, such value shall not be less than a minimum value calculated
as follows:
(a) determine the reduced retirement income that the
Participant could have commenced to receive at age 55 or, if
greater, the Participant's age on May 31, 1988, by -
(i) if the Participant has attained at least
age 55 while in the employ of the Company and is,
therefore, eligible to retire at an Early
Retirement Date,
(A) applying the applicable
percentage from the table of percentages
for reducing the normal retirement
income (determined before any offset for
benefits provided under the Prior Plan
as required by Section 6.9 hereof and
before any reduction for total
accumulation under each of the Kellogg
Rust Inc. Money Purchase Pension Plan
and the Kellogg Rust Inc. Profit Sharing
Plan as required by Section 6.11 hereof)
for commencement at Early Retirement
Date, which table is set forth herein as
Appendix A of the Plan,
(B) applying any offset for
benefits provided under the
-32-
Prior Plan as required by Section 6.9
hereof and applying any reduction for total
accumulation under each of the Kellogg
Rust Inc. Money Purchase Pension Plan
and the Kellogg Rust Inc. Profit Sharing
Plan as required by Section 6.11 hereof.
(ii) if the Participant has not attained at
least age 55 while in the employ of the Company,
applying the applicable percentage from the table
of percentages for reducing the normal retirement
income (determined after offset for benefits
provided under the Prior Plan as required by
Section 6.9 hereof and after any reduction for
total accumulation under each of the Kellogg Rust
Inc. Money Purchase Pension Plan and the Kellogg
Rust Inc. Profit Sharing Plan as required by
Section 6.11 hereof) for commencement at
retirement income payment commencement date, which
table was set forth at the end of Section 8.3 of
the Plan as in effect immediately prior to
January 1, 1984 and which table is to be applied
by selecting the "Age" factor which corresponds to
age 55.
(b) determine the present value, as of May 31, 1988
and with reference to the Participant's age as of such date,
of the reduced retirement income determined under
clause (a), above, by applying the Pension Benefit Guaranty
Corporation "Interest Rates and Quantities Used to Value
Immediate and Deferred Annuities", Appendix B, 29 C.F.R.
Part 2619 and by applying the 1971 TPF & C Forecast
Mortality Table Male Rates with a 1 year setback.
(c) adjust the present value determined under
clause (b), above, for the period from May 31, 1988 to the
retirement income payment commencement date by crediting
interest annually, on the basis of June 1 to May 31 "years"
during such period and with interest prorated for any
partial "year," at a rate for the respective "year" that is
equal to the opening annual yield on 5-year U.S. Treasury
securities that
-33-
immediately precedes the beginning of the respective "year,"
and the resulting amount shall be the minimum value.
If such Participant is not living on his Retirement Date, the option
shall not become effective and payments, if any, shall be made as
otherwise provided in the Plan as if the option had never been
elected.
If a Participant elects this option, receives a lump-sum cash
distribution and is subsequently reemployed by the Company, he may redeposit
with the Trustee prior to the occurrence of the earlier of (i) 5 consecutive
one-year breaks in Credited Service or (ii) 5 years from the date of
re-employment by the Company the entire amount of his previous lump-sum
distribution plus interest thereon computed at the rate of 5% per annum,
compounded annually, up to December 31, 1987, and interest thereafter,
compounded annually, computed at 120% of the Federal mid-term rate (as in effect
under Code Section 1274 for the first month of the Plan Year) from the date of
distribution to the date of repayment. At the time of such reemployment, such
Participant shall be informed of his right to redeposit such amount in
accordance with the conditions described above. If such redeposit is made by
such Participant, the Credited Service represented by such lump-sum cash
distribution shall be reinstated.
9.5 STRAIGHT LIFE ANNUITY OPTION. A Participant may elect a Straight Life
Annuity Option, under which all retirement income payments under the Plan shall
be made to him in equal monthly installments. Each monthly installment shall be
equal to 1/12 of his Annual Normal Retirement Income Credit determined in
accordance with Section 6. The first monthly installment shall be payable to
such Participant as of his Retirement Date. Subsequent monthly installments
shall be payable on the first day of each calendar month thereafter and shall
cease on the first day of the month in which he dies.
-34-
SECTION 10
PAYMENT OF RETIREMENT INCOME
10.1 SMALL BENEFITS. The Committee shall direct the Trustee to distribute
the Participant's benefits in a lump-sum payment without the consent of the
Participant if the distribution is equal to or less than $3,500. If payment is
made in a single sum, the amount of such payment shall be the Actuarial
Equivalent of the retirement income otherwise payable.
10.2 FACILITY OF PAYMENT. If any payee under the Plan is a minor, or if
the Company reasonably believes that any payee is legally incapable of giving a
valid receipt and discharge for any payment due him, the Company may have such
payment, or any part thereof, made to the person (or persons) whom it reasonably
believes is caring for or supporting such payee, unless it has received due
notice or claim therefor from a duly appointed guardian or committee of such
payee. Any such payment shall be a payment for the account of such payee and
shall, to the extent thereof, be a complete discharge of any liability under the
Plan to such payee.
10.3 CERTAIN SUSPENSIONS OF PAYMENTS. In the event a Participant who is
receiving or who is eligible to receive benefit payments under the Plan should
become reemployed by the Company or any Affiliate, benefit payments in respect
of such Participant shall be suspended during the period of his reemployment,
and shall resume thereafter, in the manner and amount:
10.3(a) Payment of any benefit derived from Company
contributions to which a Participant would otherwise be entitled shall
be suspended for any calendar month in which the Participant completes
40 or more hours of service with the Company or any member of the
Affiliate. Such suspension shall be effected in accordance with
Department of Labor Regulations Section 2530.203-3 (29 CFR 2530.203-
3), as amended, and rules and operational guidelines promulgated by
the Committee consistent with such regulations.
10.3(b) A Participant shall accrue Credited Service in
accordance with the terms of the Plan for any period prior to his
Normal Retirement Date for which his benefit payments are suspended.
The benefit to which Participant is entitled under the Plan shall be
recomputed as of the first day of the month following the end of the
suspension of benefits by taking into account such additional Credited
Service, compensation, etc. as required by the terms of the Plan, but
in no event shall the benefit payable following the suspension be less
than the benefit to which such Participant was entitled immediately
prior to the suspension.
-35-
10.4 COMMENCEMENT OF PAYMENTS. Unless the Participant elects otherwise in
writing pursuant to Section 5.2 or 8.3, payment of retirement income shall
commence not later than the 60th day after the latest of: (1) the end of the
Plan Year in which the Participant attains age 65, (2) the end of the Plan Year
in which occurs the 10th anniversary of the year in which the Participant began
his participation in the Plan, or (3) the end of the Plan Year in which the
Participant terminates his service with an Affiliate, but in no event later than
the April 1 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which such
Participant attains age 70 1/2.
Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the distribution
of a Participant's benefits shall be made in accordance with the requirements of
Code Section 401(a)(9), including the incidental death benefit requirements of
Code Section 401(a)(9)(G), and the Treasury Regulations thereunder (including
Proposed Regulation Section 1.401(a)(9)-2).
10.5 PARTICIPANT'S RIGHT TO TRANSFER ELIGIBLE ROLLOVER DISTRIBUTION. This
Section applies to distributions made on or after January 1, 1993.
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 plan administrator, to have any
portion of an eligible rollover distribution paid directly to an eligible
retirement plan specified by the distributee in a direct rollover.
Eligible rollover distribution: An eligible rollover distribution is
any distribution of all or any portion of the balance to the credit of the
distributee, except that an eligible rollover distribution does not
include: any distribution that is one of a series of substantially equal
periodic payments (not less frequently than annually) made for the life (or life
expectancy) of the distributee or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies)
of the distributee and the distributee's designated beneficiary, or for a
specified period of ten years or more; and any distribution to the extent such
distribution is required under section 401(a)(9) of the Code; and the portion of
any distribution that is not includable in gross income (determined without
regard to the exclusion for net unrealized appreciation with respect to employer
securities).
Eligible retirement plan: An eligible retirement plan is an
individual retirement account described in section 408(a) of the Code, an
individual retirement annuity described in section 408(b) of the Code, an
annuity plan described in section 403(a) of the Code, or a qualified trust
described in section 401(a) of the code, that accepts the distributee's eligible
rollover distribution. However, in the case of an eligible rollover
distribution to the surviving spouse, an eligible retirement plan is an
individual retirement account or individual retirement annuity.
Distributee: A distributee includes an Employee or former Employee.
In addition, the Employee's or former Employee's surviving spouse and the
Employee's or
-36-
former Employee's spouse or former spouse who is the alternate payee under a
qualified domestic relations order, as defined in section 414(p) of the Code,
are distributees with regard to the interest of the spouse or former spouse.
Direct rollover: A direct rollover is a payment by the plan to the
eligible retirement plan specified by the distributee.
-37-
SECTION 11
NON-ALIENATION OF BENEFITS
No distribution or payment of any kind made pursuant to the Plan shall
be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer,
assignment, pledge, encumbrance or charge, either directly or by operation of
law, and any attempt to anticipate, alienate, sell, transfer, assign, pledge,
encumber, or charge the same shall be null and void; nor shall any such
distribution or payment be in any way liable for or subject to the debts,
contracts, liabilities, engagements, or torts of the person entitled thereto,
except as specifically provided in the Plan.
Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph, if the Company has an
Employee benefit program for which the retired Participant is eligible, such
retired Participant may, subject to the terms of such program, authorize in
writing the deduction from his retirement income of such amounts as he is
required or permitted to contribute under such program.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may direct the Trustee to
pay all or a portion of a Participant's benefits under the Plan to such
alternate payee as may be directed by and in accordance with a domestic
relations order or decree issued by a court of competent jurisdiction provided
such order or decree is a "qualified domestic relations order" as that term is
defined in section 414(p) of the Federal Internal Revenue Code.
-38-
SECTION 12

not reserved to the Board, the determination of the Committee as to any disputed
question shall be conclusive. It shall be the duty of the Committee to notify
the Trustee in writing of the monthly amount of Retirement Income which shall be

of Participants, their spouses, their contingent annuitants, and/or their
beneficiaries from an insurance company designated by the Committee.
12.5 ACTIONS BY THE COMMITTEE. A majority of the members of the Committee
at the time in office shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business

time such actuarial tables as may be required in connection with the Plan. As
an aid to the
-40-
Committee in adopting tables and to the Company in fixing the rates of its

shall make periodical actuarial studies in relation to the Plan, and shall
recommend tables to the Committee and rates of contribution to the Company.
12.7 ACCOUNTS AND REPORTS. The Committee shall maintain accounts showing
the fiscal transactions of the Plan and shall keep in convenient form such data
as may be necessary for actuarial valuations of the Plan. The Committee shall
prepare annually a report showing a reasonable summary of the financial status

year and any further information which the Board may require and which the
Committee can reasonably furnish or can obtain from the Trustee. Such report
shall be submitted to the Board and a copy shall be filed in the office of the
secretary of the Committee.

entitled to rely upon all tables, valuations, certificates, and reports
furnished by the actuaries for the Plan, upon all certificates and reports made
by any accountant or by the Trustee, and upon all opinions given by any legal
counsel or investment adviser selected or approved by the Committee, and the
members of the Committee, the Company and its officers and directors shall be
fully protected in respect of any action taken or suffered by them in good faith
in reliance upon any such tables, valuations, certificates, reports, opinions,
or other advice of any such actuary, accountant, the Trustee, investment adviser

faith in reliance upon any such tables, valuations, certificates, reports,
opinions, or other advice of any such actuary, accountant, the Trustee,
investment adviser or legal counsel, and all action so taken or suffered shall
be conclusive upon each of them and upon all Participants and Employees.
12.11 CLAIMS PROCEDURE. Any Participant or any other person claiming
under a deceased Participant, such as the spouse, joint pensioner or
beneficiary, may submit written application to the Administrator for the payment
of any benefit asserted to be due him under the Plan. Such application shall
set forth the nature of the claim and such other information as the
Administrator may reasonably request. Promptly upon the receipt of any
application required by this Section, the Administrator shall determine whether
or not the
-41-
Participant or spouse, joint pensioner or beneficiary involved is entitled to
a benefit hereunder and, if so, the amount thereof and shall notify the
claimant of its findings.
If a claim is wholly or partially denied, the Administrator shall so
notify the claimant within 90 days after receipt of the claim by the
Administrator, unless special circumstances require an extension of time for
processing the claim. If such an extension of time for processing is required,
written notice of the extension shall be furnished to the claimant prior to the
end of the initial ninety-day period. In no event shall such extension exceed a
period of 90 days from the end of such initial period. The extension notice
shall indicate the special circumstances requiring an extension of time and the
date by which the Administrator expects to render its final decision. Notice of
the Administrator decision to deny a claim in whole or in part shall be set
forth in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant and shall contain
the following:
(i) the specific reason or reasons for the denial,
(ii) specific reference to the pertinent Plan provisions on which
the denial is based,
(iii) a description of any additional material or information
necessary for the claimant to perfect the claim and an explanation of
why such material or information is necessary, and
(iv) an explanation of the claims review procedure set forth in
Section 12.12 hereof.
If notice of denial is not furnished, and if the claim is not granted within the
period of time set forth above, the claim shall be deemed denied for purposes of
proceeding to the review stage described in Section 12.12.
12.12 CLAIMS REVIEW PROCEDURE. If an application filed under
Section 12.11 above shall result in a denial by the Administrator of the benefit
applied for, either in whole or in part, such applicant shall have the right, to
be exercised by written application filed with the Administrator within 60 days
after receipt of notice of the denial of his application or, if no such notice
has been given, within 60 days after the application is deemed denied under
Section 12.11 to request the review of his application and of his entitlement to
the benefit applied for. Such request for review may contain such additional
information and comments as the applicant may wish to present. Within 60 days
after receipt of any such request for review, the Administrator shall reconsider
the application for the benefit in light of such additional information and
comments as the applicant may have presented, and if the applicant shall have so
requested, shall afford the applicant or his designated representative a hearing
before the Administrator. The Administrator shall also permit the applicant or
his designated representative to review pertinent documents in its possession,
-42-
including copies of the Plan document and information provided by the Company
relating to the applicant's entitlement to such benefit. The Administrator
shall make a final determination with respect to the applicant's application for
review as soon as practicable, and in any event not later than 60 days after
receipt of the aforesaid request for review, except that under special
circumstances, such as the necessity for holding a hearing, such sixty-day
period may be extended to the extent necessary, but in no event beyond the
expiration of 120 days after receipt by the Administrator of such request for
review. If such an extension of time for review is required because of special
circumstances, written notice of the extension shall be furnished to the
applicant prior to the commencement of the extension. Notice of such final
determination of the Administrator shall be furnished to the applicant in
writing, in a manner calculated to be understood by him, and shall set forth the
specific reasons for the decision and specific references to the pertinent
provisions of the Plan upon which the decision is based. If the decision on
review is not furnished within the time period set forth above, the claim shall
be deemed denied on review.
12.13 DISPUTED BENEFITS. If any dispute shall arise between a
Participant or other person claiming under a Participant and the Administrator
after the review of a claim for benefits, or in the event any dispute shall
develop as to the person to whom the payment of any benefit under the Plan shall
be made, the Trustee may withhold the payment of all or any part of the benefits
payable hereunder to the Participant or other person claiming under the
Participant until such dispute has been resolved by a court of competent
jurisdiction or settled by the parties involved.
12.14 RESPONSIBILITIES OF NAMED FIDUCIARIES OTHER THAN THE COMMITTEE.
The Trustee shall have such responsibilities with respect to the operation of
the Plan as are set forth in the Trust Agreement. Any investment adviser which
the Committee may employ pursuant to paragraph (c) of Section 12.3 shall have
the responsibility to direct the Trustee in investing and reinvesting the Fund
(or that portion thereof specified by the Committee in the instrument appointing
such adviser) and to report the book value and fair market value of each asset
in the Trust Fund (or such portion thereof) to the Committee periodically, as
such responsibilities may be more fully described in the Trust Agreement.
12.15 ALLOCATION OF RESPONSIBILITIES. The description of the
responsibilities and powers of the Committee and the description of the
responsibilities of the Trustee contained in the foregoing provisions of this
Section 12 shall constitute, for purposes of ERISA, procedures for allocating
responsibilities for the operation and administration of the Plan among named
fiduciaries.
12.16 DESIGNATION OF PERSONS TO CARRY OUT RESPONSIBILITIES OF NAMED
FIDUCIARIES. The Committee, the Trustee and any investment adviser which the
Committee may employ pursuant to paragraph (c) of Section 12.3 may, except as to
responsibilities involving management and control of assets held in the Trust
Fund, designate one or more other persons to carry out any or all of their
respective responsibilities under the Plan, provided
-43-
that such designation shall be made in writing, filed with the Plan's records
and made available for inspection upon request by any Participant or
beneficiary under the Plan.
12.17 PAYMENT OF EXPENSES. All expenses incident to the
administration, termination or protection of the Plan, Trust, or any assets of
the Plan or related funding vehicle including, but not limited to, actuarial,
accounting, investment manager and Trustee fees, shall be paid by the Trustee
from the Trust Fund to the extent such expenses are in the judgment of the
Committee determined to be proper Plan expenses under ERISA; provided that the
obligation of the Trust to pay such expenses shall cease to exist to the extent
such expenses are paid by the Company.
-44-
SECTION 13
MISCELLANEOUS
13.1 NO ENLARGEMENT OF EMPLOYEE RIGHTS. The Plan is strictly a voluntary
undertaking on the part of each Participating Company and shall not be deemed to
constitute a contract between any Participating Company and any Employee, or to
be consideration for, or any inducement to the employment of any Employee.
Nothing contained in the Plan shall be deemed to give any Employee the right to
be retained in the service of any Participating Company or shall be deemed to
interfere with the right of any Participating Company to discharge any Employee
at any time.
No Employee, prior to his retirement under conditions of eligibility
under the Plan for retirement income benefits or prior to his acquiring vested
rights, as provided in Section 8 hereof, shall have any right to or interest in
any portion of any fund arising from any Participating Company's contributions
under the Plan or, in any event, other than as herein specifically provided. No
person shall have any right to retirement income benefits under the Plan, except
to the extent provided herein.
13.2 TRANSFER TO STATUS OF EMPLOYEE. If an Employee is transferred from
another company in the Controlled Group to an employment status which qualifies
him as an Employee, he shall become a Participant in the Plan as of the date on
or after such transfer on which he becomes eligible to participate in the Plan
under the provisions of Section 3 hereof.
If, at the time of such Participant's retirement, death or other break
in his Credited Service, such Participant is entitled to any benefit under any
other defined benefit pension or retirement plan or plans (other than the Prior
Plan) which is or are maintained in whole or in part by contributions of any
member of the Controlled Group, the following special rule shall apply:
Upon such retirement, death or other break in Credited Service of
any such Participant, the benefit to which such Participant is
entitled under the Plan, based upon Credited Service, Monthly
Earnings, etc. during his participation in the Plan, shall be
calculated. The benefit actually payable under this Plan to such
Participant shall be the larger of (a) benefit normally payable
hereunder or (b) the "alternative benefit" described above.
If, at the time of any Participant's retirement, death or other break
in his Credited Service, such Participant is entitled to any benefits under the
Berry Metal Company Efficiency Profit Sharing Plan, the Berry Metal Profit
Sharing Plan for Salaried Employees, or the Profit Sharing Retirement Plan for
Salaried Employees of Swindell-Dressler Corporation and any part of his Credited
Service is recognized for benefit
-45-
purposes under such other plan or plans, the portion of the benefits payable
to or on behalf of such Participant under such plan or plans which were
financed by such contributions shall be recalculated as though they were
payable under the Plan and in the same manner as his benefits, if any, under
the Plan for such period of his Credited Service regardless of the actual
form of payment utilized under such plan or plans. If such recalculated
monthly benefits are equal to or greater than the monthly benefits payable to
or on behalf of such Participant under the Plan with respect to such Credited
Service, the monthly benefits otherwise payable under the Plan shall be
cancelled and he shall be entitled to receive only the benefits payable under
such other plan or plans with respect to such Credited Service. If such
recalculated monthly benefits are less than the monthly benefits payable to
or on behalf of such Participant under the Plan with respect to such Credited
Service, the monthly benefits which would be otherwise payable under the Plan
shall be reduced by the amount of such recalculated monthly benefits under
such other plan or plans and only such reduced monthly benefits shall be
payable to or on behalf of such Participant under the Plan with respect to
such Credited Service.
13.3 TRANSFER FROM STATUS OF EMPLOYEE. Notwithstanding any other
provisions of the Plan, if a Participant is transferred to any employment status
with the Controlled Group which no longer qualifies him as an Employee, his
participation in the Plan shall be suspended until the first to occur of the
following:
(i) his retirement;
(ii) the date of his death;
(iii) the date he is transferred again to an employment
status which qualifies him as an Employee; or
(iv) the date on which his Credited Service is broken for any
reason other than his retirement or death.
In determining the amount of retirement income, if any, payable to such
Participant under the Plan, his Final Average Monthly Earnings shall be
determined as of the date of his transfer of employment status and there shall
be excluded from his Credited Service (but not his Vesting Service) all periods
after the date of his transfer.
If he is transferred again to an employment status which qualifies him
as an Employee, his participation in the Plan shall be resumed immediately after
such transfer.
13.4 NOTICE OF ADDRESS. Each Participant, former or retired Participant,
Beneficiary, Contingent Annuitant, Provisional Payee and each other person
entitled to benefits under the Plan must file with the Company, in writing, his
post office address and each change of post office address. Any communication,
statement, or notice addressed
-46-
to such a person at his latest post office address as filed with the Company
will, on deposit in United States mail with postage prepaid, be binding upon
such person for all purposes of the Plan and neither the Trustee, nor any
insurance company, nor the Company shall be obliged to undertake a search to
ascertain the whereabouts of any such person.
13.5 DATA. Each Participant, former or retired Participant, Beneficiary,
contingent annuitant, provisional payee and each other person entitled to
benefits under the Plan must furnish to the Company and any trustee and/or
insurance company selected for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of the
Plan, such documents, evidence, or information as the Company or such trustee
and/or insurance company may consider necessary or desirable for the purpose of
administering the Plan, or necessary to protect the Company and such trustee
and/or insurance company; and it shall be a condition of the Plan that each such
person must furnish such information promptly and sign such documents before any
benefits become payable to such person under the Plan.
13.6 MERGER OR CONSOLIDATION OF PLAN. In the event that at any time the
Plan is merged or consolidated with or if the assets and/or liabilities of the
Plan are transferred to any other plan, each Participant shall be entitled to
receive a benefit under such other plan if it were terminated immediately after
such merger, consolidation, or transfer, which would be equal to or greater than
the benefit that he would have received had the Plan terminated immediately
prior to such merger, consolidation, or transfer.
13.7 UNCLAIMED BENEFITS: If at, after or during the time when a benefit
hereunder is payable to any Participant, Beneficiary, or other distributee, the
Committee, upon request of the Trustee, or in its own instance, shall mail by
registered or certified mail to such Participant, Beneficiary, or other
distributee at his last known address a written demand for his current address
or for satisfactory evidence of his continued life, or both, and if such
Participant, Beneficiary, or other distributee shall fail to furnish the same to
the Committee within two (2) years from the mailing of such demand, the
Committee may, in its sole discretion, determine that such Participant,
Beneficiary, or other distributee has forfeited his right to such benefit and
declare such benefit, or any unpaid portion thereof, terminated as if the death
of the Participant (with no surviving Beneficiary or other distributee) had
occurred on the date of the last payment made thereon, or the date such
Participant, Beneficiary, or other distributee first became entitled to receive
benefit payments, whichever is later; provided, however, that such forfeited
benefit shall be reinstated if a claim for the same is made by the Participant,
Beneficiary, or other distributee at any time thereafter.
13.8 TEMPORARY LIMITATIONS. In the event that the Plan is terminated or
the full current costs thereof applicable to the first ten years following a
Commencement Date, as hereinafter defined, have not been met at any time, the
benefits provided under the Plan which any of the 25 Highest Paid Employees, as
hereinafter defined, may receive will not
-47-
exceed those which can be provided from Company contributions not in excess
of the largest of the following amounts:
(a) the Employer contributions (or funds attributable thereto)
which would have been applied to provide the benefits for such
Employees if the Plan as in force on the date preceding any
Commencement Date has been continued without change,
(b) $20,000, or
(c) the sum of (1) the Company contributions (or funds
attributable thereto) which would have been applied to provide the
benefits for such Employees if the Plan as in effect on the day
preceding any applicable Commencement Date had been terminated on that
day, plus (2) an amount computed by multiplying the number of years in
the period for which the current costs of the Plan on and after any
applicable Commencement Date are met by 20% of the first $50,000 of
his average annual compensation during such period.
These conditions will not restrict the current payment of full pension
benefits called for by the Plan for any Participant, survivor or beneficiary
while the Plan is in full effect and its full current costs have been met. In
the event that any funds are realized by operation of the restrictions set forth
in this Section, they will be used to reduce subsequent Company contributions to
the Plan, but if the Company has ceased contributions, they will be used for the
benefit of Employees, other than the 25 Highest Paid Employees, on a basis which
will not result in discrimination in favor of the more highly compensated
Employees.
For the purposes of this Section, the "25 Highest Paid Employees"
shall mean the 25 highest paid Employees of the Company as of the applicable
Commencement Date, including any such highest paid Employees who are not covered
by the Plan at that time but who may later be covered, but excluding any
Employees whose annual benefit will not exceed $1,500.
For the purposes of this Section, "Commencement Date" shall mean
July 1, 1981 and also the effective date of any amendment to the Plan which
increases substantially the possibility of discrimination in favor of highly
compensated Employees. The extension of the Plan by action of the Company to a
group of Employees not previously covered hereunder will not constitute an
amendment of the Plan, but the effective date of such extension will constitute
a Commencement Date for that group only.
In the event that it should be determined by statute or ruling by the
Internal Revenue Service that the provisions of this Section 13.8 are no longer
necessary to qualify
-48-
the Plan under the Internal Revenue Code, this Section 13.8 will become
ineffective without amendment to the Plan.
-49-
SECTION 14
FUNDING
14.1 TRUSTS AND INSURANCE CONTRACTS. It is intended that benefits under
the Plan shall be funded by means of the Trust, contracts issued by an insurance
company, or a combination of such media, or through the Trust and such other
trusts and/or insurance contracts as the Company in its discretion may establish
or cause to be established or entered into for the purpose of carrying out the
Plan (hereinafter in this Section 14 referred to as Trusts or Insurance
Contracts). The Company will determine the form, terms and provisions of any
such Trusts and Insurance Contracts. The Company may also in its discretion
direct any trustee or trustees or insurance company or insurance companies to
cause any funds held by such trustee or trustees and/or insurance company or
insurance companies for the purpose of providing benefits to Participants to be
transferred by such trustee or trustees and/or insurance company or insurance
companies to any other trustee or trustees and/or insurance company or insurance
companies to be held for the same purpose.
14.2 CONTRIBUTIONS. During the continuance of the Plan and for the purpose
of providing for the benefits under the Plan, each Participating Company intends
to deposit from time to time with the Trustee or trustees and/or with the
insurance company or insurance companies to be held in the Trusts and/or
Insurance Contracts such amounts of money as are required under accepted
actuarial principles to maintain the Plan in sound condition under the Code.
The Company may direct the Trustee and/or the insurance company to transfer all
or any part of the money deposited with it to any other trustee and/or insurance
company under other Trusts and/or Insurance Contracts described in
Subsection 14.1 hereof.
14.3 IRREVOCABILITY. A Participating Company shall have no right, title or
interest in or to any contributions made under the Plan and no part of the Trust
Fund or the assets held under a group annuity contract or any such other Trusts
or Insurance Contracts described in Subsection 14.1 hereof shall revert to a
Participating Company, except that upon the termination of the Plan as to any
Participating Company and after satisfaction or provision for the satisfaction
of all fixed and contingent liabilities or obligations to persons entitled to
benefits upon such termination, any balance remaining in the Trust Fund or under
a group annuity contract, or any such other Trusts or Insurance Contracts
described in Subsection 14.1 hereof, attributable to such Participating Company
shall be distributed to or as directed by such Participating Company.
Notwithstanding the foregoing:
-50-
(i) if any contribution is made by a Participating Company by a
mistake of fact, such contribution shall be returned to such
Participating Company within 1 year after the payment;
(ii) if a contribution is disallowed as a deduction under
section 404 of the Internal Revenue Code, then, to the extent the
deduction is disallowed, such contribution shall be returned within
1 year after the disallowance; and
(iii) if the Plan is initially determined by the Internal
Revenue Service not to qualify under section 401 of the Internal
Revenue Code, any contributions made under the Plan shall be returned
within one year after the denial of qualification.
14.4 PAYMENT OF BENEFITS. Each Participating Company intends the Plan to
be permanent, as distinguished from a temporary program. Benefits under the
Plan are to be paid from the Trust Fund or a group annuity contract or any such
other Trusts or Insurance Contracts described in Subsection 14.1 hereof and only
to the extent that the Trust Fund and group annuity contract or any such other
Trusts or Insurance Contracts described in Subsection 14.1 hereof shall suffice
for the purpose. No Participating Company, nor any of the officers, Employees,
members of the Board of any Participating Company, or agents of any
Participating Company guarantees the payment of benefits hereunder except as
provided in ERISA and any amendments thereto. Except as provided in ERISA, any
person having any claim under or in connection with the Plan shall look solely
to the Trust Fund, group annuity contract and/or any such Trust or Insurance
Contracts described in Subsection 14.1 hereof.
-51-
SECTION 15
QUALIFICATION UNDER INTERNAL REVENUE CODE
The Plan and the Trust and Insurance Contracts described in
Subsection 14.1 hereof are intended to meet the requirements of section 401(a)
of the Code, so that the income of the Trust Fund may be exempt from taxation
under section 501(a) of the Internal Revenue Code and contributions of each
Participating Company under the Plan may be deductible for Federal Income Tax
purposes under section 404 of the Code. Any modification or amendment of the
Plan may be made retroactive, as necessary or appropriate, to establish or
maintain such qualifications.
-52-
SECTION 16
AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION
16.1 AUTHORITY TO AMEND OR TERMINATE. The Company hopes and expects to
continue the Plan indefinitely but reserves the right to terminate, or to
modify, alter or amend the Plan or the Trust Agreement from time to time to any
extent that it may, at its sole and complete discretion, deem advisable
including, but without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any amendment
deemed necessary to qualify or to ensure the continued qualification of the Plan
under the Internal Revenue Code. The foregoing right shall be exercised only by
action of the Board except that the Committee, by a written instrument, duly
executed by a majority of its members, may make (a) any amendment which may be
necessary or desirable to ensure the continued qualification of the Plan and its
related trust under the Internal Revenue Code or which may be necessary to
comply with the requirements of ERISA, or any regulations or interpretations
issued by the Department of Labor or the Internal Revenue Service with respect
to the requirements of ERISA or the Internal Revenue Code, (b) any amendment
which is required by the provisions of any collective bargaining agreement
between the Company and its Employees and (c) any other amendment which will not
involve an estimated annual cost under the Plan (determined at the time of the
amendment in a manner consistent with the requirements of ERISA) in excess of
$200,000. No such amendment shall increase the duties or responsibilities of
the Trustee without its consent thereto in writing. No such amendment shall
have the effect of diverting the whole or any part of the principal or income of
the Fund to purposes other than for the exclusive benefit of Participants and
others having an interest in the Plan, prior to the satisfaction of all
liabilities with respect to them. It is intended that termination of the Plan
by one or more of the Participating Companies will not necessarily constitute
termination of the Plan by the remaining Participating Companies.
16.2 EFFECT OF TERMINATION. Upon the termination or partial termination of
the Plan, the rights of all affected Participants to their respective accrued
benefits under the Plan shall be nonforfeitable to the extent then funded. Upon
the withdrawal from the Plan of, or the complete discontinuance of contributions
to the Plan by any Participating Company such rights of all Participants who are
Employees of such Company shall likewise be nonforfeitable to the extent then
funded. In either such event, the Committee shall (except as provided in
Section 16.3) direct the Trustee as to the allocation of the applicable assets
of the Plan, in accordance with the following provisions of this Section 16.2.
After providing for the expenses of the Plan, the assets remaining in the
account of each Participating Company withdrawing from the Plan or discontinuing
contributions under the Plan shall be used and applied for the benefit of its
Employees and their beneficiaries in the manner prescribed by Section 4044 of
ERISA (or corresponding provision of any subsequent applicable law in effect at
the time). The Committee may require that the benefits accrued hereunder be
paid in cash or in the form of immediate or deferred
-53-
annuities or otherwise as it shall determine. After such allocation has been
made, any residue of such applicable assets of the Plan may be distributed to
such Company if all liabilities of the Plan with respect to its Employees and
their beneficiaries have been satisfied and the distribution does not
contravene any applicable provisions of law.
16.3 TRUST FUND CONTINUATION. If the Plan is terminated but the Board
determines that the Fund shall be continued pursuant to its terms and the
provisions of this Section 16.3, no further contributions will thereafter be
made by the Company, the rights of all Participants to their accrued benefits
under the Plan shall be nonforfeitable to the extent then funded, but the Fund
shall be administered as though the Plan were otherwise in full force and
effect, except that no further benefits will accrue after the date of
termination. If the Fund is subsequently terminated, the Fund shall then be
allocated and disbursed in accordance with the provisions of Section 16.2.
-54-
SECTION 17
TOP-HEAVY PLAN REQUIREMENTS
17.1 GENERAL RULE: For any Plan Year for which this Plan is a Top-Heavy
Plan, as defined in Section 17.8, any other provisions of this Plan to the
contrary notwithstanding, this Plan shall be subject to the provisions of this
Section 17.
17.2 VESTING PROVISIONS: Each Participant who has completed an "hour of
service" (as defined in Section 1 hereof) after the Plan becomes top heavy and
while the Plan is top heavy and who has completed the Service specified in the
following table shall be vested in his accrued benefit under this Plan at least
as rapidly as is provided in the following schedule:
Years of Service Vested Percentage
---------------- -----------------
Less than 2 years 0%
2 but less than 3 years 20%
3 but less than 4 years 40%
4 but less than 5 years 60%
5 years or more 100%
If an account becomes vested by reason of the application of the preceding
schedule, it may not thereafter be forfeited by reason of reemployment after
retirement pursuant to a suspension of benefits provision, by reason of
withdrawal of any mandatory Employee contributions to which employer
contributions were keyed, or for any other reason. If the Plan subsequently
ceases to be top-heavy, the preceding schedule shall continue to apply with
respect to any Participant who had at least 3 years of service (as defined in
Treasury Regulation Section 1.411(a)-8T(b)(3)) as of the close of the last year
that the Plan was top-heavy, except that each Participant whose non-forfeitable
percentage of his accrued benefit derived from employer contributions is
determined under such amended schedule, and who has completed at least 3 years
of service with the employer, may elect, during the election period, to have the
non-forfeitable percentage of his accrued benefit derived from employer
contributions determined without regard to such amendment if his non-forfeitable
percentage under the Plan as amended is, at any time, less than such percentage
determined without regard to such amendment. For all other Participants, the
non-forfeitable percentage of their accrued benefit prior to the date the Plan
ceased to be top-heavy shall not be reduced, but future increases in the non-
forfeitable percentage shall be made only in accordance with Section 8.1.
17.3 MINIMUM BENEFIT PROVISIONS: Each Participant who is a Non-Key
Employee, as defined in Section 17.8(d), shall be entitled to an accrued benefit
in the form of a single-life annuity (with no ancillary benefits) beginning at
his Normal Retirement Date, that shall
-55-
not be less than his average annual Participant's compensation, within the
meaning of Code Section 415, for years in the Testing Period multiplied by
the lesser of: (a) 2% multiplied by the number of years of Top-Heavy Service
or (b) 20%. A Non-Key Employee may not fail to receive a minimum benefit
because of a failure to receive a specified amount of compensation or a
failure to make mandatory Employee or elective contributions.
"Testing Period" means, with respect to a Participant, the period of
consecutive years of Top-Heavy Service, not exceeding 5, during which the
Participant had the greatest aggregate compensation, within the meaning of Code
Section 415, from the Company. "Top-Heavy Service" means his Credited Service
credited under Section 1. Top-Heavy Service shall not include any Credited
Service before July 1, 1984 or any Credited Service that begins after the close
of the last Plan Year in which the Plan was a Top-Heavy Plan. Years before and
after such excluded periods shall be considered consecutive for purposes of
determining the Testing Period.
17.4 LIMITATION ON COMPENSATION: A Participant's annual compensation taken
into account under this Section 17 and under Section 1 for purposes of computing
benefits under this Plan shall not be in excess of $200,000 prior to January 1,
1994, or $150,000 on or after January 1, 1994. Such amount shall be adjusted
automatically for each Plan Year to the amount prescribed by the Secretary of
the Treasury or his delegate pursuant to regulations for the calendar year in
which such Plan Year commences.
17.5 LIMITATION OF BENEFITS: In the event that the Company, other Employer
or an Affiliate (hereinafter in this Article collectively referred to as a
"Considered Company") also maintains a defined contribution plan providing
contributions on behalf of Participants in this Plan, one of the two following
provisions shall apply:
(a) If for a Plan Year this would not be a Top-Heavy Plan if "90
percent" were substituted for "60 percent" in Section 17.8, then the
percentages used in Section 17.3 are changed to be the lesser of
(i) 3% multiplied by the number of years of Top-Heavy Service or
(ii) the lesser of 30% or 20% plus 1% for each year the Plan is taken
into account under this subsection (a).
(b) If for a Plan Year this Plan would continue to be a Top-
Heavy Plan if "90 percent" were substituted for "60 percent" in
Section 17.8, then the denominator of both the defined contribution
plan fraction and the defined benefit plan fraction shall be
calculated as set forth in Section 6.7(III), for the limitation year
ending in such Plan Year by substituting "1.0" for "1.25" in each
place such figure appears. This subsection (b) will not apply for
such Plan Year with respect to any individual for whom there are no
(i) Company contributions, forfeitures or voluntary
-56-
non-deductible contributions allocated to such individual or
(ii) accruals for such individual under the defined benefit plan.
Furthermore, the transitional rule set forth in Code
Section 415(e)(6)(B)(i) shall be applied by substituting "Forty-One
Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($41,500)" for "Fifty-One Thousand
Eight Hundred Seventy-Five Dollars ($51,875)" where it appears therein.
17.6 COORDINATION WITH OTHER PLANS: In the event that another defined
contribution or defined benefit plan maintained by a Considered Company provides
contributions or benefits on behalf of Participants in this Plan, such other
plan shall be treated as a part of this Plan pursuant to applicable principles
prescribed by U.S. Treasury Regulations or IRS rulings to determine whether this
Plan satisfies the requirements of Sections 17.2, 17.3 and 17.4 and to avoid
inappropriate omissions or inappropriate duplication of minimum contributions.
Such determination shall be made upon the advice of counsel by the Committee.
In the event a Participant is covered both by a top-heavy defined benefit plan
and a top-heavy defined contribution plan, a comparability analysis (as
prescribed by Revenue Ruling 81-202 or any successor ruling) shall be performed
in order to establish that the plans are providing benefits at least equal to
the defined benefit minimum. If it becomes necessary to establish that the
plans are providing benefits not less than the defined benefit minimum, the
Employer or the Company shall take appropriate action to cause an adjustment in
either or both of benefits or contributions in order that such minimum benefits
be provided.
17.7 DISTRIBUTIONS TO CERTAIN KEY EMPLOYEES: Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Plan to the contrary, the entire interest in this Plan of each
Participant who is a 5% owner (as described in Section 416(i)(A) of the Code
determined with respect to the Plan Year ending in the calendar year in which
such individual attains age 70 1/2), shall be distributed to such Participant
not later than the first day of April following the calendar year in which such
individual attains age 70 1/2.
17.8 DETERMINATION OF TOP-HEAVY STATUS: The Plan shall be a Top-Heavy Plan
for any Plan Year if, as of the Determination Date, the present value of the
cumulative accrued benefits under the Plan determined as of the Valuation Date
for Participants (including former Participants) who are Key Employees exceeds
60% of the present value of the cumulative accrued benefits under the Plan for
all Participants (including former Participants) or, if this Plan is required to
be in an Aggregation Group, any such Plan Year in which such Group is a Top-
Heavy Group.
In determining Top-Heavy status, if an individual has not performed
1 hour of service for any Considered Company at any time during the five-year
period ending on the Determination Date, any accrued benefit for such individual
and the aggregate accounts of such individual shall not be taken into account.
The accrued benefit of any Employee (other than a Key Employee) shall be
determined under (a) the method, if any,
-57-
that uniformly applies for accrual purposes under all plans maintained by the
Aggregation Group 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 accrual rate of Code Section 411(b)(1)(C).
For purposes of this Section, the capitalized words have the following
meanings:
(a) "Aggregation Group" means the group of plans, if any, that
includes both the group of plans required to be aggregated and the
group of plans permitted to be aggregated. The group of plans
required to be aggregated (the "required aggregation group") includes:
(i) Each plan of a Considered Company in which a Key
Employee is a participant in the Plan Year containing the
Determination Date, or any of the 4 preceding Plan Years,
and
(ii) Each other plan, including collectively bargained
plans, of a Considered Company which, during this period,
enables a plan in which a Key Employee is a participant to
meet the requirements of Section 401(a)(4) or 410 of the
Code.
The group of plans that are permitted to be aggregated (the
"permissive aggregation group") includes the required aggregation
group plus one or more plans of a Considered Company that is not part
of the required aggregation group and that the Considered Company
certifies as a plan within the permissive aggregation group. Such
plan or plans may be added to the permissive aggregation group only
if, after the addition, the aggregation group as a whole continues to
satisfy the requirements of Sections 401(a)(4) and 410 of the Code.
(b) "Determination Date" means for any Plan Year the last day of
the immediately preceding Plan Year or in the case of the first Plan
Year of the Plan, Determination Date means the last day of such Plan
Year.
(c) "Key Employee" means any Participant (and any beneficiary of
a Participant under this Plan) who at any time during the
determination period was an officer of the Employer if such
individual's annual compensation exceeds 50% of the amount in effect
under Code Section 415(b)(1)(A), an owner (or considered an owner
under Code Section 318) of 1 of the 10 largest interests in the
Employer if such individual's compensation exceeds 100% of the amount
in effect under Section 6.7(IV)4A, a 5% owner of the Employer, or a 1%
owner of the
-58-
Employer who has an annual compensation of more than $150,000. The
determination period is the Plan Year containing the determination
date and the 4 preceding Plan Years. The determination of who is a
Key Employee will be made in accordance with Code Section 416(i)(1)
and the regulations thereunder.
(d) A "Non-Key Employee" means any Employee (and any beneficiary
of an Employee) who is not a Key Employee.
(e) "Top-Heavy Group" means the Aggregation Group, if as of the
applicable Determination Date, the sum of the present value of the
cumulative accrued benefits for Key Employees under all defined
benefit plans included in the Aggregation Group plus the aggregate of
the accounts of Key Employees under all defined contribution plans
included in the Aggregation Group exceeds 60% of the sum of the
present value of the cumulative accrued benefits for all Employees,
excluding former Key Employees as provided in paragraph (i) below,
under all such defined benefit plans plus the aggregate accounts for
all Employees, excluding former Key Employees as provided in
paragraph (i) below, under all such defined contribution plans. In
determining Top- Heavy status, if an individual has not performed
1 hour of service for any Considered Company at any time during the
five-year period ending on the Determination Date, any accrued benefit
for such individual and the aggregate accounts of such individual
shall not be taken into account. If the Aggregation Group that is a
Top-Heavy Group is a permissive aggregation group, only those plans
that are part of the required aggregation group will be treated as
Top-Heavy Plans. If the Aggregation Group is not a Top-Heavy Group,
no plan within such group will be a Top-Heavy Plan.
In determining whether this Plan constitutes a Top-Heavy Plan, the
Committee (or its agent) will make the following adjustments in
connection therewith:
(f) When more than one plan is aggregated, the Committee shall
determine separately for each plan as of each plan's Determination
Date the present value of the accrued benefits (for this purpose using
the actuarial assumptions set forth in the applicable plan, and if
such assumptions are not set forth in the applicable plan, using the
assumptions set forth in this Plan) or account balance. The results
shall then be aggregated by adding the results of each plan as of the
Determination Dates for such plans that fall within the same calendar
year.
-59-
(g) In determining the present value of the cumulative accrued
benefit (for this purpose using the actuarial assumptions set forth in
Section 1(xv) hereof or the amount of the account of any Employee,
such present value or account will include the amount in dollar value
of the aggregate distributions made to such Employee under the
applicable plan during the five-year period ending on the
Determination Date unless reflected in the value of the accrued
benefit or account balance as of the most recent Valuation Date. The
amounts will include distributions to Employees which represented the
entire amount credited to their accounts under the applicable plan.
(h) Further, in making such determination, such present value or
such account shall not include any rollover contribution (or similar
transfer) initiated by the Employee and made after December 31, 1983
to an applicable plan.
(i) If the rollover contribution (or similar transfer)
is initiated by the Employee and made to or from a plan
maintained by another Considered Company, the plan providing
the distribution shall include such distribution in the
present value or such account; the plan accepting the
distribution shall not include such distribution in the
present value or such account unless the plan accepted it
before December 31, 1983.
(ii) If the rollover contribution (or similar
transfer) is not initiated by the Employee or made from a
plan maintained by another Considered Company, the plan
accepting the distribution shall include such distribution
in the present value or such account, whether the plan
accepted the distribution before or after December 31, 1983;
the plan making the distribution shall not include the
distribution in the present value or such account.
(i) Further, in making such determination, in any case where an
individual is a Non-Key Employee with respect to an applicable plan
but was a Key Employee with respect to such plan for any prior Plan
Year, any accrued benefit and any account of such Employee shall be
altogether disregarded. For this purpose, to the extent that a Key
Employee is deemed to be a Key Employee if he or she met the
definition of Key Employee within any of the 4 preceding Plan Years,
this provision shall apply following the end of such period of time.
-60-
(j) "Valuation Date" means for purposes for determining the
present value of an accrued benefit as of the Determination Date the
date determined as of the most recent valuation date which is within a
twelve-month period ending on the Determination Date. For the first
plan year of a plan, the accrued benefit for a current Employee shall
be determined either as if the individual (i) terminated service as of
the Determination Date or (ii) terminated service as of the Valuation
Date, but taking into account the estimated accrued benefit as of the
Determination Date. The Valuation Date shall be determined in
accordance with the principles set forth in Q.&A. T-25 of Treasury
Regulations Section 1.416-1.
(k) For purposes of this Section, "compensation" shall have the
meaning given to it in Section 6.7(IV)5 of the Plan.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, The M. W. Kellogg Company has caused these
presents to be executed by its duly authorized officers in a number of copies,
all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument, which may be
sufficiently evidenced by any executed copy hereof, this 15th day of
April, 1994, but effective as of January 1, 1989.
