RETIREMENT PLANS The Company's principal non-contributory defined benefit pension plan covers employees of participating business units. Executive Officers participate in this plan on the same basis as do approximately 10,000 other eligible employees. Benefit amounts are based on years of service and average monthly compensation for the five highest consecutive years out of the last ten years of employment. The following table illustrates the maximum estimated annual benefits to be paid upon normal retirement at age 65 to individuals in specified compensation and years of service classifications. The table does not reflect the limitations contained in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 on benefit accruals under the Pension Plan. Under a plan adopted by the Board of Directors, supplemental payments in excess of those limitations will be made to participants designated by the Compensation Committee in order to maintain benefits upon retirement at the levels provided under the Pension Plan's formula.
