PREAMBLE

Accordingly, certain optional forms of benefits are applicable to these Participants that were offered under the provisions of their respective pension plans prior to the merger of such plans into the Seaboard Corporation Pension Plan and the subsequent transfer of certain assets and liabilities attributable to these Participants to this Plan. These benefits are set forth in appendices to this Plan. The names of such previous plans and the corresponding appendix for each plan containing the supplemental benefit provisions applicable to the retirees or deferred vested terminated Participants who were participants in each such previous plan and to the extent the assets and liabilities attributable to such retirees or deferred vested terminated Participants are transferred to this Plan, are as follows:

​

The intent of the Company is to protect and preserve the Participant benefits entitled to protection under Section 411(d)(6) of the Internal Revenue Code and Treasury Regulations thereunder. Therefore, this document shall be construed and administered accordingly and, where required by law but not otherwise provided herein, appropriate provisions of prior plans are incorporated herein by this reference as necessary to protect and preserve such Participant benefits.

Both the Seaboard Corporation Pension Plan, from which assets and liabilities have been transferred to this Plan, and the Seaboard Defined Benefit Pension Plan, which was a predecessor plan merged into the Seaboard Corporation Pension Plan (together the "Predecessor Plans") were amended effective January 1, 2014 to freeze participation in the Predecessor Plans such that no otherwise Eligible Employee shall be eligible to participate in this Plan. All individuals who were both Eligible Employees and Participants in one of the Predecessor Plans on January 1, 2014, and who had their associated assets and liabilities transferred to this Plan shall continue to participate in this Plan and accrue benefits hereunder.

Effective as of January 1, 2021 (the "Plan Effective Date"), the Plan is established upon the spin-off from the Seaboard Corporation Pension Plan of specified assets and liabilities into this Plan by direct trust-to-trust transfer as of the Plan Effective Date. This Plan is, as compared to the Seaboard Corporation Pension Plan, identical in all material respects with respect to eligibility, benefit accrual, vesting and distribution provisions applicable to Participants. The Plan shall recognize a Participant's service with Seaboard Corporation and Affiliated Employers (as defined in the Seaboard Corporation Pension Plan) as of December 31, 2020, for all eligibility, benefit accrual, vesting and distribution purposes under the terms of the Plan, it being acknowledged that the Predecessor Plans were frozen to new participants effective as of January 1, 2014.

Effective as of the Plan Effective Date, the assets and liabilities of the Seaboard Corporation Pension Plan were spun off and deposited into the Trust Fund for the Plan in accordance with Section 414(l) of the Code. Each active or inactive Participant's termination benefit in the Plan shall be equal to or greater than the benefit the Participant would have been entitled to in the Seaboard Corporation Pension Plan; provided that no duplication or expansion of benefits of any Participant in this Plan shall occur as a result of the spin-off of assets and liabilities from the Seaboard Corporation Pension Plan into this Plan. If an active or inactive Participant, or a spouse, beneficiary or an alternate payee under a qualified domestic relations order is entitled to a benefit under this Plan, they will not be entitled to a benefit under the Seaboard Corporation Pension Plan and vice versa.

As used in this Plan --

"Accrued Benefit" means, the sum of (i) plus (ii), plus (iii), where:

(i)is a Participant's frozen retirement benefit payable to the Participant at his Normal Retirement Date, under the appropriate Appendix to this Plan, as of December 31, 1993 or an earlier date, computed as an Actuarial Equivalent of the normal form of retirement benefit for this Plan, as defined in section 4.1 (i.e., a single life annuity);

(ii)is the retirement benefit accrued on and after January 1, 1994, computed under section 4.1(b), payable to the Participant at his Normal Retirement Date in the normal form of retirement benefit for this Plan; and

(iii)is the retirement benefit accrued on and after January 1, 1994, computed under section 4.1(c), payable to the Participant at his Normal Retirement Date in the normal form of retirement benefit for this Plan.

"Actuarial (or Actuarially) Equivalent" means, a form of benefit differing in time, period or manner of payment from a specific Pension provided under the Plan but having equivalent value when computed, for Annuity Starting Dates before July 29, 2016, using an interest rate of 8% per year compounded annually and the 1983 Group Annuity Mortality Table. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Participant's Actuarial Equivalent Benefit calculated hereunder be less than such benefit calculated under the Seaboard Corporation Pension Plan as of December 31, 1993.

For Annuity Starting Dates on or after July 29, 2016, the above-referenced assumptions shall be replaced by the following assumptions in this paragraph, provided that any amount determined in accordance with this paragraph shall not be less than the amount determined under the previous paragraph with respect to the Participant's Accrued Benefit as of the earlier of the Participant's termination of employment or July 29, 2016.

| · | Interest: The "applicable interest rate" as defined in Section 417(e)(3) of the Code, as amended by the Pension Protection Act of 2006, for the month of November preceding the Plan Year in which the Member's distribution commences.

| · | Mortality: The mortality table prescribed by the Secretary of Treasury in accordance with Section 417(e)(3) of the Code for the Plan Year in which the Participant's distribution commences.

"Actuarial Value" means the lump sum equivalent value of a Participant's Accrued Benefit, as certified by the Actuary, using: (a) the 1983 Group Annuity Mortality Tables with a fixed blend of 50% of the male mortality rates and 50% of the female mortality rates; and (b) the annual interest rate on 30-year Treasury securities as specified by the Commissioner for the

​

​

month of November preceding the Plan Year in which the Participant's Annuity Starting Date occurs.

Effective for distributions with Annuity Starting Dates on or after December 31, 2002, notwithstanding any other Plan provisions to the contrary (except the following paragraph) the applicable mortality table used for purposes of adjusting any benefit or limitation under Code § 415(b)(2)(B), (C) or (D) as set forth in Section 13.1 and the applicable mortality table used for purposes of satisfying the requirements of Code § 417(e) as set forth in this definition of Actuarial Value is the table prescribed in Revenue Ruling 2001-62.

Interest – The interest rate determined based upon the adjusted first, second and third segment rates applied under rules similar to the rules of Code § 430(h)(2)(C) for the month of November preceding the Plan Year in which the Participant's distribution commences. For this purpose, the adjusted first, second and third segment rates are the first, second and third segment rates which would be determined under Code § 430(h)(2)(C) if:

(i)Code § 430(h)(2)(D) were applied by substituting the average yields for the month described in (ii) below for the average yields for the 24-month period described in Code § 430(h)(2)(D),

(ii)Code § 430(h)(2)(G)(i)(II) were applied by substituting "Code § 417(e)(3)(A)(ii)(II)" for "Code § 412(b)(5)(B)(ii)(II)"; and

(iii)the applicable percentage under Code § 430(h)(2)(G) were determined in accordance with the following table:

In the case of Plan Years beginning in: |  | The applicable percentage is:
2008 | ​ | 20 percent
2009 | ​ | 40 percent
2010 | ​ | 60 percent
2011 | ​ | 80 percent

​

​

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the lump sum equivalent value of a Participant's Accrued Benefit shall not be less than the lump sum equivalent value of the Participant's Accrued Benefit as of December 31, 1995, under the Seaboard Corporation Pension Plan calculated using the Group Annuity Mortality Table described in the definition of Actuarial (or Actuarially) Equivalent, above, and an interest rate of 8%, and based on the Participant's age at the Annuity Starting Date.

For participation purposes an Eligible Employee incurs a 1-year break in service if during the twelve-month period applicable for purposes of section 2.2, the Eligible Employee does not complete more than 500 Hours of Service. Any 1-year break in service shall be deemed to have commenced on the first day of the year in which it occurs. An Employee's absence from work during which he is not compensated, or entitled to Compensation, by the Employer, shall not be deemed a break in service where the Employee (i) is on an authorized leave of absence, provided he resumes work for the Employer at the expiration thereof, or (ii) is on military duty for a period during, which his reemployment rights are guaranteed by federal law. In applying this section all Employees in similar circumstances shall be treated alike.

(b)Leaves of Absence - Solely for purposes of determining whether a 1-year break in service has occurred, for each individual who is absent from work for any period (i) by reason of the pregnancy of the individual, (ii) by reason of the birth of a child of the individual, (iii) by reason of the placement of a child by such individual, or (iv) for purposes of caring for such child for a period beginning immediately following such birth or placement, the Plan shall treat as Hours of Service during the applicable computation period as determined under this definition of 1-year break in service, the Hours of Service which otherwise would normally have been credited to such individual but for such absence, or in any case in which the Plan is unable to determine the hours which would normally have been credited to such individual, eight hours per day of such absence. The total number of hours treated as Hours of Service by reason of any such pregnancy or placement shall not exceed 501. Hours of service for such pregnancy or placement shall be treated as Hours of Service (i) only in the year in which the absence from work begins, if a Participant would be prevented from incurring a 1-year break in service in such year solely because periods of absence are treated as Hours of Service, or (ii) in any other case, in the immediately following year. For purposes of this subparagraph, the term "year" means any Plan Year.

(c)An Eligible Employee's paid Hours of Service for absence on account of leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 ("FMLA leave") shall be counted for purposes of eligibility or vesting, whichever is applicable, except that if such Hours of Service are not needed to prevent a break in service in the Plan Year in which such FMLA leave commenced, and if such FMLA leave continues into a subsequent Plan Year, the Hours of Service shall be credited to the subsequent Plan Year.

No credit will be given pursuant to this subparagraph unless the individual furnishes to the Committee such timely information as the Committee may reasonably require to establish that the absence from work is for reasons referred to in the preceding subparagraph and the number of days of such absence.

ARTICLE IV. AMOUNT OF RETIREMENT BENEFIT

4.1 Normal Retirement Pension. The normal form of a Participant's annual retirement benefit shall be a single life annuity. A Participant's Pension in the normal form equals the sum of (a), plus (b), plus (c), where:

(a)is the Participant's frozen retirement benefit, payable to the Participant at his Normal Retirement Date as of December 31, 1993 or an earlier date, computed as an Actuarial Equivalent of the normal form of retirement benefit for this Plan, as defined in this section 4.1;

(b)is 0.65% of his Final Average Earnings accrued from and after January 1, 1994, multiplied by his Years of Accrual Service; and

(c)is 0.50% of his Excess Compensation accrued from and after January 1, 1994, multiplied by his Years of Accrual Service.

The following definitions shall apply for purposes of this section 4.1:

"Covered Compensation" means the average (without indexing) of the taxable wage bases in effect for each calendar year during the 35-year period ending with the last day of the calendar year in which the Participant attains (or will attain) Social Security Retirement Age, whether or not a Participant actually has attained Social Security Retirement Age at the time of termination of employment with the Employer. A 35-year period is used for all Participants regardless of the year of birth of the Participant. In determining a Participant's Covered Compensation for a Plan Year, the taxable wage base for all calendar years beginning after the first day of the Plan Year is assumed to be the same as the taxable wage base in effect as of the beginning of the Plan Year. A Participant's Covered Compensation shall be adjusted each Plan Year, and no increase in Covered Compensation shall result in a decrease of the Participant's Accrued Benefit. A Participant's Covered Compensation does not change after the calendar year in which he reaches his Social Security Retirement Age. For any Plan Year beginning before a Participant's 35-year calendar period used to determine his Covered Compensation, the taxable wage base in effect at the beginning of the Plan Year is the Participant's Covered Compensation. The taxable wage base is the contribution and benefit base under section 230 of the Social Security Act.

"Earnings" shall mean the Compensation received from the Employer during the Plan Year for services rendered while an Eligible Employee and Participant.

"Final Average Earnings" shall mean a multiple of 12 times the average monthly Earnings received by a Participant for the 60 consecutive months which produce the highest average Earnings during the last 120 whole months for which the Participant received Earnings. For purposes of determining the Participant's Final Average Earnings a Participant's monthly Earnings for a specific month shall be equal to a fraction of the Participant's Earnings for the Plan Year in which such month occurs, the numerator of which fraction is one and the denominator of which fraction is the number of months (and fractions thereof) in the Plan Year for which the

​

21

​

Participant received Earnings. If a Participant does not receive Earnings during a minimum of 60 whole months, Final Average Earnings shall be determined based upon the Participant's average monthly earnings for all months.

"Years of Accrual Service" shall mean the aggregate of a Participant's Years of Accrual Service and Partial Years of Accrual Service. A Participant will receive credit for a Year of Accrual Service for each Plan Year commencing on or after January 1, 1994 during which the Participant completes at least 2000 Hours of Service with the Employer as an Eligible Employee. A Participant will receive credit for a Partial Year of Accrual Service for each Plan Year commencing on or after January 1, 1994 during which the Participant completes at least 1000 Hours of Service, but less than 2000 Hours of Service, with the Employer as an Eligible Employee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Participant fails to complete 2000 Hours of Service in his final year of employment with the Employer he may receive credit for a Partial Year of Accrual Service even if he has not completed 1000 Hours of Service. A Partial Year of Accrual Service for purposes of this paragraph is a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Hours of Service the Participant has completed during the Plan Year as an Eligible Employee and the denominator of which is 2000. A Participant will not receive credit for more than 35 Years of Accrual Service. Notwithstanding any provision hereunder to the contrary, a Participant shall not be credited with any Years of Accrual Service during the period from January 1, 1994 through January 1, 1997, if such Participant was accruing benefits under either the Seaboard Corporation Executive Retirement Plan or the Seaboard Farms Executive Retirement Plan during that same period.

"Excess Compensation" shall mean the amount of a Participant's Final Average Earnings in excess of Covered Compensation.

4.2 Deferred Vested Pension.

(a)Subject to the provisions of section 4.2(c), the amount of a Participant's Deferred Vested Pension in the normal form of a single life annuity, commencing as of his Normal Retirement Date, shall be equal to the product obtained by multiplying the amount of his Accrued Benefit by his vested percentage computed in accordance with the following schedule:

​ Years of Service |  | Vested (nonforfeitable) Percentage
Less than 5 | ​ | 0%
5 or more | ​ | 100%

​

(b)A Participant is automatically one hundred percent (100%) vested on the date he attains his Normal Retirement Age, provided he is an Eligible Employee, on that date, or on the date he becomes eligible for an Early Retirement Pension under section 3.3.

​

22

​

(c)If the Plan's vesting schedule is amended or changed in any way that directly or indirectly affects the computation of the Participant's nonforfeitable percentage, each Participant with at least three Years of Service may elect, within the election period described herein, to have his nonforfeitable percentage computed under the Plan without regard to such amendment or change. Such election period shall begin no later than the date the Plan amendment is adopted and end no earlier than the latest of the following dates:

4.4 Late Retirement Pension. The amount of a Participant's Late Retirement Pension shall be determined under section 4.1 as of the Participant's Late Retirement Date. If the Participant remains employed beyond the date he attains age 70-1/2, his Late Retirement Pension thereafter shall be equal to the greater of (i) the Participant's Late Retirement Pension determined under section 4.1 as of the Participant's Late Retirement Date and (ii) the Actuarial Equivalent of the Participant's Late Retirement Benefit as of the date the Participant attained age 70-1/2.

4.5 Disability Retirement Pension. The amount of a Participant's Disability Retirement Pension in the normal form of a single life annuity shall be equal to his Accrued Benefit determined in accordance with section 4.1, but reduced by 4% for each year by which the date as of which the Participant's Disability Retirement Pension commences pursuant to section 3.5 precedes his attainment of age 62. The Participant's deemed Compensation and deemed Credited Service while in qualified military service, as defined in Code Section 414(u)(5) and described in section 2.5, during any period when the Participant's reemployment rights are guaranteed under federal veterans' reemployment rights laws, shall be included in determining the amount of a Disability Retirement Pension, provided the Participant either (i) becomes Disabled while in qualified military service, or (ii) is reemployed after the expiration of his qualified military service within the time required by applicable federal law.

4.6 Reemployment After Retirement Benefits Have Commenced.

​

(a)Written Explanation of 50% Joint and Survivor Pension and Optional Forms -- Effective January 1, 2007, not earlier than 180 days, but not later than 30 days, before a married Participant's Annuity Starting Date, the Committee shall furnish to the Participant: (i) a written general description of the 50% joint and survivor Pension; (ii) the circumstances under which the Plan will provide the 50% joint and survivor Pension; (iii) the material features of and the relative values of the optional forms of benefit; (iv) the availability of the election to waive the 50% joint and survivor Pension; (v) the rights of the Participant's Eligible Spouse; (vi) the right to revoke such an election; (vii) the effect of such revocation; and (viii) the Participant's right to defer the commencement of benefits to the Participant's Normal Retirement Date and the consequences of the failure to do so.

(b)Waiver of 50% Joint and Survivor Pension -- A Participant may make an election to waive payment in the form of a 50% joint and survivor Pension under section 5.1 at any time within the election period. Effective January 1, 2007 the applicable election period shall be the 180-day period ending on the Annuity Starting Date. A Participant may revoke an election under this section 5.4(b) and make a new election at any time within the election period. A Participant's waiver election is not valid unless the Participant makes the waiver election within the election period and the Participant's Eligible Spouse has consented in writing to the waiver election, such election designates a beneficiary or a form of benefits which may not be changed without the consent of the Eligible Spouse (or the consent of the Eligible Spouse expressly permits designations by the Participant without any requirement of further consent by the Eligible Spouse), the Eligible Spouse's consent acknowledges the effect of the election, and a notary public or a member of the Committee witnesses the Eligible Spouse's consent. The Participant's Eligible Spouse's consent to a waiver of the 50% joint and survivor Pension shall be irrevocable. The Committee may accept as valid a waiver election which does not satisfy the spousal consent requirements hereunder if either the form of benefit elected by the Participant is described in section 5.3(a), the Committee establishes that the Participant does not have an Eligible Spouse, the Committee is not able to locate the Participant's Eligible Spouse, or other circumstances exist under which the Secretary of the Treasury will excuse the consent requirement.

(c)Commencement of Pension Less than 30 days After Explanation -- Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Participant may elect to begin receiving his Pension less than 30 days after receiving the written explanation described in section 5.4(a) if (i) the Participant has been informed in writing that he has at least 30 days to consider whether to waive the 50% joint and survivor Pension and elect (with spousal consent) an optional form of benefit, (ii) the Participant is permitted to revoke any affirmative election until the later of the Annuity Starting Date or the expiration of the 7-day period that begins the day after the written explanation described in section 5.4(a) is provided to the Participant, and (iii) the distributions do not commence until after the written explanation is provided.

​

​

(d)Retroactive Annuity Starting Date –Notwithstanding any provision in this section 5.4 to the contrary, a Participant who has attained age 62 may elect an Annuity Starting Date that is prior to the date the Participant receives the written explanation described in section 5.4(a) and prior to the date the Participant files an election to commence distribution of his Pension if (i) the Annuity Starting Date is the date the Participant attained age 62 or the first day of the month after his or her termination of employment, if later, (ii) the Participant was entitled to receive his Pension as of such Annuity Starting Date in accordance with Article IV, and (iii) the Participant does not actually receive any distribution until at least 30 days after the Participant has received the written explanation described in section 5.4(a) unless the Participant waives the 30-day period in accordance with section 5.4(c). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Participant may not elect a retroactive Annuity Starting Date with respect to a lump sum distribution under section 5.3(d). If a Participant elects a retroactive Annuity Starting Date, the amount of the Participant's Pension payments will be determined as of the retroactive Annuity Starting Date in accordance with the Plan provisions as in effect as of that date. The Participant's Pension payments will commence as soon as administratively practicable subsequent to his election of a retroactive Annuity Starting Date subject to the satisfaction of section 5.4(b) and, if applicable, section 5.4(c). The Participant will receive a lump sum payment equal to the sum of (i) the aggregate amount of the Pension payments that would have been made prior to the date of the Participant's election of a retroactive Annuity Starting Date had the Participant made his election prior to the retroactive Annuity Starting Date, and (ii) interest on such aggregate amount computed as simple interest at the interest rate or rates applicable under the definition of Actuarial Value in Article I during the period such payments described in (i) of this sentence would have been made. In addition to the spousal consent requirements of section 5.4(b), a Participant's Eligible Spouse must consent to the Participant's election of a retroactive Annuity Starting Date in accordance with section 5.4(b) if the monthly amount of the survivor pension payable to the Participant's Eligible Spouse pursuant to such election will be less than the amount that would be payable to the Participant's Eligible Spouse under a 50% joint and survivor pension commencing as of the date of such election (rather than as of the retroactive Annuity Starting Date). For purposes of the preceding sentence the Participant's Eligible Spouse will be determined as of the date of the Participant's election of a retroactive Annuity Starting Date.

5.5 Spouse's Death Benefit.

(a)A Participant who dies before the Annuity Starting Date and who is survived by an Eligible Spouse shall have his death benefit paid to his surviving Eligible Spouse in the form of a pre-retirement survivor annuity. In the case of a Participant who dies after the earliest retirement age under the Plan, the annuity payments paid to the Eligible Spouse shall be equal to the amount which would be payable to the Eligible Spouse had the Participant retired on the date before the Participant's date of death and elected to receive his Pension in the form of a 100% joint and survivor annuity. In the case of a Participant who dies on or before the earliest retirement age under the Plan, the annuity payments paid to the Eligible Spouse shall be the amount which would be payable

​

27

​

to the Eligible Spouse had the Participant separated from service on the date of his death, survived to the earliest retirement age under the Plan, elected to receive his Pension in the form of a 100% joint and survivor annuity at his earliest retirement age, and died on the day after the day on which the Participant would have attained the earliest retirement age under the Plan. The "earliest retirement age under the Plan" is the earliest date on which the Plan permits the Participant to elect to receive retirement benefits. For purposes of determining the amount of the pre-retirement survivor annuity, only the Participant's nonforfeitable Pension shall be taken into account. This Spouse Death Benefit shall apply even if the Participant's death occurs while in qualified military service, provided the Participant's reemployment rights are guaranteed by federal veteran's reemployment rights laws at the time of his death. Furthermore, the deceased Participant's deemed Compensation and deemed Credited Service while in qualified military service, as defined in Code Section 414(u)(5) shall be included in the determination of any Spouse's death benefit which is payable hereunder because the Participant died while in qualified military service.

The Participant's Eligible Spouse may direct that payment of the pre-retirement survivor annuity commence no later than the month in which the Participant would have attained the earliest retirement age under the Plan. If the Eligible Spouse does not so direct, payment of such benefit will commence at the time the Participant would have attained his Normal Retirement Age. If commencement of payment of the pre-retirement survivor annuity is on a date other than the later of the day after the Participant's earliest retirement age under the Plan or the date of the Participant's death, then the annuity amount payable to the Eligible Spouse shall be the Actuarial Equivalent of the annuity amount determined hereunder on the later of the day after the Participant's earliest retirement age under the Plan or the date of the Participant's death.

(b)If the Actuarial Value of the pre-retirement survivor annuity is determined to be $5,000 (or such other amount allowed in accordance with section 411(a)(11) of the Code) or less, then the Committee shall direct the immediate distribution of such amount in the form of a lump sum distribution to Participant's Eligible Spouse. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the amount of such distribution under this Section 5.5(b) is greater than $1,000 and the Eligible Spouse does not elect to have such distribution paid directly to an eligible retirement plan specified by the Eligible Spouse in a direct rollover or to receive the distribution directly, then the plan administrator will pay the distribution in a direct rollover to an individual retirement plan designated by the Committee.

5.6 Other Death Benefit. Upon the death after the Annuity Starting Date of a Participant who has a nonforfeitable Accrued Benefit, his beneficiary, if any, under the applicable benefit payment form shall receive the benefits payable under such form.

5.7 Lump Sum Payments On or Before Annuity Starting Date for Small Amounts. The provisions of this section 5.7 apply notwithstanding any provisions hereunder to the contrary. Lump sum payments under this section 5.7 are not subject to the waiver and consent requirements of section 5.4.

​

28

​

(a)Mandatory Lump Sum Payment: If upon or following a Participant's termination of employment and not later than the Participant's Annuity Starting Date the Actuarial Value of the Participant's nonforfeitable Accrued Benefit is determined to be $5,000 (or such other amount allowed in accordance with section 411(a)(11) of the Code) or less, then the Participant's nonforfeitable Accrued Benefit will be paid in the form of a lump sum payment to the Participant as soon as administratively feasible after such determination.

(b)Optional Lump Sum Payment: In the event of a mandatory distribution greater than $1,000 to Participant in accordance with the provisions of section 5.7(a), if the Participant does not elect to have such distribution paid directly to an eligible retirement plan specified by the Participant in a direct rollover or to receive the distribution directly, then the plan administrator will pay the distribution in a direct rollover to an individual retirement plan designated by the plan administrator.

5.8 Special Distribution Rules. Notwithstanding any provision in this Plan to the contrary, all distributions under the Plan shall be made in accordance with Article XV. Distribution of a Participant's Accrued Benefit shall begin not later than the 60th day after the last day of the Plan Year in which the latest of the following events occurs: (a) the date on which the Participant attains age 65; (b) the 10th anniversary of the year in which the Participant commenced participation in the Plan; or (c) the date the Participant terminates his service with the Employer. The preceding sentence is subject to the Participant's consent to a later beginning date for distribution and subject to other Plan provisions governing the permitted or required distribution beginning date.

5.9 Nonduplication of Benefits. If a former Participant again becomes a Participant, such renewed participation shall not result in duplication of benefits. Accordingly, if he has received a distribution of an Accrued Benefit under the Plan by reason of prior participation (and such distribution has not been repaid to the Plan with interest within a period of the earlier of 5 years after the first date on which the Participant is subsequently reemployed by the Employer or the close of the first period of 5 consecutive 1-year breaks in service commencing after the distribution), his Accrued Benefit shall be reduced by the Actuarial Equivalent (at the date of distribution) of the present value of the Accrued Benefit as of the date of distribution. Any repayment by a Participant shall be equal to the sum of:

(a)the amount of the distribution; and

(b)interest compounded annually at the rate of 120 percent of the federal mid-term rate (as in effect under Code §1274 from the first month beginning after the date of distribution to the date of repayment.

5.10 Direct Rollover of Eligible Rollover Distributions. A Participant may elect, at the time and in the manner prescribed by the Committee, to have any portion of his eligible rollover distribution paid directly to an eligible retirement plan specified by the Participant in a direct rollover designation. For purposes of this section 5.10, a Participant includes a Participant's

​

29

​

surviving spouse and the Participant's spouse or former spouse who is an alternate payee under a qualified domestic relations order.

The following definitions apply to this section 5.10:

(a)Eligible rollover distribution -- "Eligible rollover distribution" means any distribution of all or any portion of the balance to the credit of the Participant, except an eligible rollover distribution does not include: any distribution which is one of a series of substantially equal periodic payments (not less frequently than annually) made for the life (or life expectancy) of the Participant or joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the Participant and the Participant's designated beneficiary, or for a specified period of ten years or more; any distribution to the extent required under Code §401(a)(9); and the portion of any distribution which is not includible in gross income (determined without regard to the exclusion of net unrealized appreciation with respect to employer securities).

(b)Eligible retirement plan -- "Eligible retirement plan" means an individual retirement account described in Code §408(a) (including a Roth IRA described in Code §408A), an individual retirement annuity described in Code §408(b), an annuity plan described in Code §403(a), or a qualified trust described in Code §401(a), which accepts the Participant's eligible rollover distribution. An eligible retirement plan shall also mean an annuity contract described in Code §403(b) and an eligible plan under Code §457(b) which is maintained by a state, political subdivision of a state, or any agency or instrumentality of a state or political subdivision of a state and which agrees to separately account for amounts transferred into such plan from this Plan. This definition of eligible retirement plan applies not only in the case of an eligible rollover distribution to the Participant, but also in the case of an eligible rollover distribution to a surviving spouse or to a former spouse who is the alternate payee under a qualified domestic relations order, as defined in Code §414(p). An "Eligible Retirement Plan" shall also include an otherwise eligible rollover death benefit payment on behalf of a non-spouse beneficiary to a traditional inherited individual retirement account, as defined in Code Section 408(d)(3)(C).

(c)Direct rollover -- "Direct rollover" means a payment by the Plan to the eligible retirement plan specified by the Participant, or, if applicable, the Participant's surviving spouse or former spouse who is the alternate payee under a qualified domestic relations order, as defined in Code §414(p).

5.11 Death Benefits under USERRA-Qualified Active Military Service. In the event a Participant dies on or after January 1, 2007 while performing "qualified military service" as such term is defined in Code section 414(u), the survivors of the Participant shall be entitled to any additional benefits (other than benefit accruals relating to the period of qualified military service) that would be provided under the Plan had the Participant resumed employment with the Employer and then terminated employment on account of death.

The Employer shall make contributions in such amounts and at such times as determined by Seaboard Corporation in accordance with a funding method and policy to be established by Seaboard Corporation which will be consistent with Plan objectives and the minimum funding requirements in Code Section 412 and 430. Forfeitures arising under this Plan because of termination of employment before a Participant becomes eligible for a Pension, or for any other reason, shall be applied to reduce the cost of the Plan, not to increase the benefits otherwise payable to Participants.

6.3 Employer Contributions and Mistake of Fact. Upon written request of the Employer, the Trustee shall return to the Employer the amount of the Employer's contribution made by the Employer by mistake of fact; provided, however, the Trustee shall not return any portion of the Employer's contribution more than one year after the Employer made the contribution by mistake of fact.

The Trustee shall not increase the amount of the Employer contribution returnable under this Article VI for any earnings attributable to the contribution, but the Trustee shall decrease the Employer contribution returnable for any losses attributable to it. The Trustee may require the Employer to furnish it whatever evidence the Trustee deems necessary to enable the Trustee to confirm that the amount the Employer has requested be returned is properly returnable under ERISA §403(c)(1).

ARTICLE VIII. MISCELLANEOUS

8.1 Nonguarantee of Employment. Nothing contained in this Plan shall be construed as a contract of employment between the Employer and any Employee, or as a right of any Employee to be continued in the employment of the Employer, or as a limitation of the right of the Employer to discharge any of its Employees, with or without cause.

8.2 Rights to Trust Fund Assets. No Employee shall have any right to, or interest in, any assets of the Trust upon termination of his employment or otherwise, except as provided from time to time under this Plan, and then only to the extent of the benefits payable to such Employee under the Plan. Except as otherwise may be provided under Title IV of ERISA, all payments of benefits as provided for in this Plan shall be payable solely out of the assets of the Trust and none of the Fiduciaries shall be liable therefor in any manner.

8.3 Spendthrift. The interest in this Plan, or any benefits provided hereunder, of or to any Participant or his beneficiary shall in no event be subject to sale, assignment, hypothecation, or transfer by such Participant or his beneficiary, and each Participant or his beneficiary is hereby prohibited from anticipating, pledging, assigning or alienating his interest in this Plan or in any account or benefit hereunder. The interest of any Participant or of his beneficiary shall not be liable or subject to the debts, liabilities, or obligations of the Participant or the beneficiary, nor shall the same or any part thereof be subject to any judgment rendered nor to any levy, execution, attachment, garnishment, or other legal process. This provision shall not apply to qualified domestic relations orders under Code § 414(p) or applicable income tax withholding.

8.4 Qualified Domestic Relations Orders. Nothing, contained in this Plan shall prevent the Trustee, in accordance with the direction of the Retirement Committee, from complying with the provisions of a qualified domestic relations order.

Within a reasonable period of time after receiving the domestic relations order, the Retirement Committee shall determine the qualified status of the order and shall notify the Participant and each alternate payee, in writing, of its determination. The Retirement Committee shall provide notice under this paragraph by mailing to the individual's address specified in the domestic relations order, or in a manner consistent with U.S. Department of Labor regulations.

In the case of any payment before a Participant has separated from service, the payment may be made to an alternate payee on or after the date the Participant attains his earliest retirement age. Earliest retirement age for this purpose means the earlier of (i) the date on which the Participant is entitled to a distribution under the Plan, or (ii) on the later of age 50, or the earliest date on which the Participant could begin receiving, benefits under the Plan if he terminated his employment.

​

35

​

For purposes of Article V, the Retirement Committee will treat a former spouse as the Participant's spouse or surviving spouse to the extent provided under a qualified domestic relations order. The joint and survivor annuity requirements of Article V apply separately to the portion of the Participant's vested Accrued Benefit subject to the qualified domestic relations order and to the portion of the Participant's vested Accrued Benefit not subject to the order.

The Trustee shall make any payments or distributions required under this section 8.4 by separate benefit checks or other separate distribution to the alternate payee.

8.5 Exclusions and Separability. Each provision hereof shall be independent of each other provision hereof and if any provision of this Plan proves to be, or is held by any court, tribunal, board or authority of competent jurisdiction to be void or invalid as to any Participant or group of Participants, such provisions shall be disregarded and shall be deemed to be null and void and no part of this Plan; but such invalidation of any such provision shall not otherwise impair or affect this Plan or any of the other provisions or terms hereof.

8.6 Restrictions of Benefits Payable to Highly Compensated Participants. This section sets forth limitations required by the Internal Revenue Service on the Pension benefits payable to certain Participants effective for Plan Years commencing on or after January 1, 1994.

Prior to Plan termination the annual Pension payable to or on behalf of a Participant who is among the twenty-five (25) highest paid Highly Compensated Employees or Highly Compensated former Employees shall be limited to an amount equal to: (a) the annual Pension that would have been payable to the Participant in the form of a single life annuity; and (b) the amount of the payment the Participant would receive under a social security supplement. This limitation shall not apply in the event that (i) the value of Plan assets is at least equal to 110% of the value of current liabilities (as defined in Code §412(l)(7)) or (ii) the value of benefits (including death benefits payable on behalf of such Participant is less than 1% of the value of current liabilities (as defined in Code §412(l)(7)).

The limitations in this section 8.6 shall automatically become inoperative and of no effect upon a ruling by the Internal Revenue Service that they are not required.

For purposes of this section 8.6, a Highly Compensated Employee shall mean a highly compensated employee under Code §414(q).

8.7 Laws Governing. Except to the extent preempted by Title I of ERISA, as from time to time amended, the laws of the State of Kansas shall govern, control and determine all questions arising with respect to this Plan and the interpretation and validity of its provisions.

(iv)Benefit accruals under this Plan shall cease.

(c)The Actuary's actual AFTAP certification for each Plan Year, beginning January 1, 2010, shall be as of each January 1. The Actuary may also provide one of the following "range AFTAP certifications", which shall have the same effect as an actual AFTAP certification:

(i)an AFTAP of at least 100%;

Dates | Presumed AFTAP Percentage
January 1 to March 31 | The Plan's AFTAP for the immediately preceding Plan Year shall be presumed to be the Plan's AFTAP ​
April 1, to September 30 | The Plan's AFTAP for the immediately preceding Plan Year, reduced by ten percent (10%) ​
October 1 to December 31 | The Plan's AFTAP shall be presumed to be less than sixty percent (60%)

​

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Actuary's actual AFTAP certification for the Plan Year beginning January 1, 2009 only would be less than sixty percent (60%), the Plan's AFTAP for such date shall be deemed to be the same as the Actuary's actual AFTAP certification for the Plan as of January 1, 2008, provided the Actuary's January 1, 2008 AFTAP certification for the Plan is greater than the Plan's actual January 1, 2009 AFTAP. This "deemed January 1, 2008 AFTAP" provision shall not apply to a determination of whether the Plan's January 1, 2009 AFTAP is eighty percent (80%) or more.

(e)No lump sum payment shall be made by this Plan during any period in which the Employer is a debtor in a case under Title 11, United States Code, or a similar federal or state law, unless the Actuary for the Plan certifies that the Plan's AFTAP is not less than one hundred percent (100%).

(f)The beginning date for a period of benefit restrictions under this section 8.10, except for the benefit restriction described in section 8.10(a)(ii), Section 8.10(b)(ii) or section 8.10(e), shall be the earlier of:

| ● | the date the Actuary provides the Administrator with the Plan's AFTAP certification for the applicable Plan Year which is either less than eighty percent (80%), but not less than sixty percent (60%), or less than sixty percent (60%); or

| ● | the date the Plan's AFTAP is presumed under section 8.10(d) to be either less than eighty percent (80%), but not less than sixty percent (60%) or less than sixty percent (60%).

The beginning date for the benefit restrictions described in section 8.10(a)(ii), section 8.10(b)(ii) or section 8.10(e), i.e., a partial or complete restriction or the payment of lump sum benefit payments, shall be the earliest of:

​

39

​

| ● | the date the Actuary provides the Administrator with the Plan's AFTAP certification for the applicable Plan Year which is either less than eighty percent (80%), but not less than sixty percent (60%), or less than sixty percent (60%);

| ● | the date the Plan is presumed under section 8.10(d) to be less than either eighty percent (80%), but not less than sixty percent (60%) or less than sixty percent (60%); or

| ● | in the case the Employer is in bankruptcy, as described in section 8.10(e), the date of the bankruptcy filing.

The end of a period of benefit restrictions shall be the date the Plan's Actuary provides the Administrator with a certification of the Plan's AFTAP, as a result of which the Code Section 436 benefit restrictions described in this section 8.10 no longer apply due to one or more of the following:

| ● | A deemed or elected reduction of any available Code Section 430(f)(6) prefunding Plan credit balance and/or a Code Section 430(f)(7) funding standard carryover credit balance;

| ● | Employer contributions, including for the cost of unpredictable contingent event benefits or an increase in Plan liabilities due to a Plan amendment increasing Plan benefits; or

| ● | Security provided by the Employer pursuant to Code Section 436(f) and the Treasury Department regulations thereunder, i.e., either a surety bond in an appropriate amount or an escrow of cash or United States Treasury obligations which mature in three (3) years or less with a bank or similar institution.

(g)The Administrator shall provide written or electronic notice to Plan Participants and beneficiaries, pursuant to U.S. Department of Treasury regulations within 30 days after:

(i)the date the Plan's AFTAP is either certified by the Actuary or presumed (as described in section 8.10(d)) to be less than eighty percent (80%), but not less than sixty percent (60%); or

(ii)the date the Plan is certified by Actuary or is presumed (as described in section 8.10(d)) to be less than sixty percent (60%).

This notice shall address the following benefit restrictions, if applicable: unpredictable contingent event benefits, limitations on lump sum payments and limitations on benefit accruals (but is not required to provide a notice with respect to a restriction on Plan amendments increasing benefits).

​

40

​

(h)The following benefit payment provisions shall apply if the restrictions described in section 8.10(a)(ii), section 8.10(b)(ii) or section 8.10(e), which restrict lump sum benefit payments, apply:

(i)A Participant's Spouse, other Beneficiary or alternate payee entitled to a benefit payment with an Annuity Starting Date during the period of the benefit restriction shall be afforded the opportunity to elect one of the following benefit payment alternatives:

(A)A partial lump sum payment pursuant to section 8.10(a)(ii) and the annuity form of payment described in section 8.10(a)(ii)(C)(1); or

(B)A life annuity or other Actuarial Equivalent, as defined in Article I, optional annuity form of payment provided by this Plan; or

(C)A partial lump sum payment pursuant to section 8.10(a)(ii) and a deferral of the remaining benefit until after the period of benefit restrictions under this section 8.10 cease; or

(D)Deferral of any payment or commencement of benefits until after the period of benefit restrictions under this section 8.10 cease.

(ii)After the period of benefit restrictions cease, the Participant, Spouse, other Beneficiary or alternate payee shall be afforded the opportunity to elect to resume the payment of benefits in a newly elected form of payment beginning on a new Annuity Starting Date elected by the Participant, Spouse, other Beneficiary or alternate payee, which shall not be earlier than ninety (90) days after the Actuary provides the Plan Administrator with a certification that the period of benefit restrictions has ceased because of the Actuary's certification of the Plan's then AFTAP. The benefits which may be resumed after the period of benefit restrictions cease, shall automatically include any benefit accruals which ceased during the period of a benefit restriction under this section 8.10.

8.11 Expenses. The Company may determine whether a particular Plan expense is a settlor expense which the Employer must pay, or is a non-settlor expense which may be paid by the Plan. The reasonable non-settlor expenses incident to the operation and administration of the Plan may be paid out of the Trust. These expenses may include, but are not limited to, the compensation of personnel and advisors and the cost of compliance with the bonding requirements specified in ERISA. The Company shall determine whether the Employer will pay any or all non-settlor reasonable Plan expenses or whether the Plan must bear the expense. The Company, at its discretion, may elect at any time, to pay part or all thereof directly, and any such election shall not bind the Company as to its right to elect with respect to the same or other expenses at any time to have such compensation paid from the Trust.

ARTICLE IX. AMENDMENTS

Seaboard Corporation reserves the right to make from time to time any amendment or amendments to this Plan which, subject to section 11.5, do not cause any part of the fund to be used for, or diverted to, any purpose other than the exclusive benefit of Participants or their beneficiaries; provided, however, that Seaboard Corporation may make any amendment it determines necessary or desirable, with or without retroactive effect, to comply with ERISA. Any such amendment shall be by instrument executed by an appropriate officer or agent of Seaboard Corporation and authorized by the Board of Directors of Seaboard Corporation.

No amendment to the Plan shall be effective to the extent that it has the effect of decreasing a Participant's Accrued Benefit. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, a Participant's Accrued Benefit may be reduced to the extent permitted under Code §412(c)(8). No amendment to the Plan may reduce or eliminate benefits protected under Code §411(d)(6) determined immediately prior to the adoption date (or, if later, the effective date) of the amendment. An amendment reduces or eliminates Code §411(d)(6) protected benefits if the amendment has the effect of either (1) eliminating or reducing an early retirement benefit or a retirement-type subsidy, or (2) except as provided by Treasury regulations, eliminating, any optional form of benefit. In the case of a retirement-type subsidy, the preceding sentence shall apply only with respect to a Participant who satisfied (either before or after the amendment) the pre-amendment conditions for the subsidy. In general, a retirement-type subsidy is a subsidy that continues after retirement, but does not include a qualified Disability benefit, a medical benefit, a social security supplement, death benefit (including fife insurance), or a plant shutdown benefit (that does not continue after retirement age). Furthermore, no amendment to the Plan shall have the effect of decreasing a Participant's vested interest determined without regard to such amendment as of the later of the date such amendment is adopted, or becomes effective. The Committee shall disregard an amendment to the extent application of the amendment would fail to satisfy this paragraph.

ARTICLE X. SUCCESSOR EMPLOYER AND MERGER OR CONSOLIDATION OF PLANS

10.1 Successor Employer. In the event of the dissolution, merger, consolidation or reorganization of the Employer, provision may be made by which the Plan will be continued by the successor; and, in that event, such successor shall be substituted for the Employer under the Plan. The substitution of the successor shall constitute an assumption of Plan liabilities by the successor and the successor shall have all of the powers, duties and responsibilities of the Employer under the Plan.

10.2 Plan Assets. In the event of any merger or consolidation of the Plan with, or transfer in whole or in part of the assets and liabilities of the Trust to another Trust held under any other plan of deferred compensation maintained or to be established for the benefit of all or some of the Participants of this Plan, the Plan shall be so merged or consolidated, or the assets of the Trust applicable to such Participants shall be so transferred, only if:

(a)each Participant would (if either this Plan or the other plan then terminated) receive a benefit immediately after the merger, consolidation or transfer which is equal to or greater than the benefit he would have been entitled to receive immediately before the merger, consolidation or transfer (if this Plan had then terminated);

(b)resolutions of the Board of Directors and of any new or successor Employer of the affected Participants authorize such transfer of assets; and, in the case of the new or successor Employer of the affected Participants, its resolutions shall include an assumption of liabilities with respect to such Participants' inclusion in the new plan; and

(c)such other plan and trust are qualified under Code § §401(a) and 501(a).

​

ARTICLE XI. TERMINATION OF PLAN

11.1 Right To Terminate. In accordance with the procedures set forth in this Article XI, Seaboard Corporation may terminate the Plan at any time. Further, any Employer can cease participation in the Plan at any time in accordance with the provisions of Article XIV. Subject to applicable requirements, if any, of ERISA governing termination of "employee pension benefit plans," Seaboard Corporation shall direct and require the Trustee to liquidate the Trust, or the applicable portion thereof, in accordance with the provisions of this Article XI.

11.2 Partial Termination. Upon termination of the Plan with respect to a group of Participants which constitutes a partial termination of the Plan, the proportionate interest of the Participants affected by such partial termination shall be determined. The determination of such proportionate interest shall be done in accordance with ERISA §4044 and shall be done in an equitable manner, considering the remaining Participants as well as the Participants affected by the termination, and on the basis of the contributions made by the Employer, the provisions of this Article XI, and other appropriate considerations. In no event shall the Participants affected by such partial termination have any interest in or otherwise be entitled to any residual amounts described in section 11.5. After such proportionate interest has been determined, the assets of the Trust shall be allocated and segregated according to such proportionate interest.

The assets of the Trust so allocated and segregated shall be used by the Trustee to pay benefits to or on behalf of Participants in accordance with section 11.3.

11.3 Liquidation of Trust Fund. Upon termination of the Plan or upon termination of employment of a group of Participants which constitutes a partial termination of the Plan, each such Participant's Accrued Benefit, based on his service prior to the date of termination, shall become fully vested and nonforfeitable to the extent funded. The assets of the Trust shall be liquidated (after provision is made for the expenses of liquidation) by the payment or provision for the payment of benefits in the following order of preference:

(a)Certain Benefits Payable Three Years Prior to Termination: The available assets of the Trust shall first be allocated to provide Pensions that become payable three or more years before the effective date of Plan termination, or that could have become payable at the beginning of such three-year period had the Participant not deferred the commencement of his Pension by failing to elect earlier commencement, or that could have become payable had a Participant's retirement occurred immediately prior to the beginning of such three-year period, provided that,

(i)the portion of the Pension payable to a Participant or the beneficiary of a Participant (or that could have been payable) shall be based on the provisions of the Plan in effect five years prior to the effective date of Plan termination; and for this purpose, the first Plan Year in which an amendment became effective, or was adopted if later, shall constitute the first year an amendment was in effect; and further provided that,

​

44

​

(ii)if the Pension payable under the Plan has been reduced, either by amendment or due to the form in which the Pension is being paid, during the three-year period ending, on the effective date of Plan termination, then the lowest benefit in pay status during such three-year period shall be considered the benefit in pay status for purposes of this category (a).

(b)Other Benefits Eligible For Termination Insurance: To the extent that the amount of a Pension has not been provided in the foregoing category (a), the remaining assets shall be allocated to provide any Pension provided under the Plan for a Participant whose employment terminated prior to the effective date of Plan termination, or any immediate or deferred Pension that would have been payable to or on behalf of a Participant had his employment terminated for a reason other than death on the effective date of Plan termination, provided that the amount of a Pension to be provided under this category (b) shall be determined as follows:

(i)the portion of the Pension payable to a Participant or the beneficiary of a Participant (or that could have been payable) based on the provisions of the Plan in effect five years prior to the effective date of Plan termination; and for this purpose, the first Plan Year in which an amendment became effective, or was adopted if later, shall constitute the first year an amendment was in effect; plus

(ii)the portion of the Pension payable to a Participant or the beneficiary of a Participant which would have been included in (i) above had the Plan or a Plan amendment been in effect five years prior to the effective date of Plan termination, determined as follows: 20% for each Plan Year (less than five) that the Plan or an amendment thereto was in effect, multiplied by the amount that would have been included under subparagraph (i) for such Participant or beneficiary had the Plan or the amendment been in effect for five Plan Years as of the effective date of Plan termination; provided that,

(iii)no benefit payable under this category (b) to a Participant or beneficiary shall exceed an amount with an Actuarial Value of a monthly benefit in the form of a life-only annuity commencing at age 65 equal to $750 multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the contribution and benefit base determined under section 230 of the Social Security Act in effect at the effective date of Plan termination and the denominator of which is such contribution and benefit base in effect in calendar year 1974, which is $4,500, as of January 1, 2009. Such benefit base shall be adjusted each calendar year thereafter pursuant to ERISA Section 4022(b)(3)(B).

(c)Other Vested Benefits: To the extent the amount of a Pension has not been provided in the foregoing categories (a) and (b), the remaining assets shall be allocated to provide the benefit payable under the Plan to or on behalf of a Participant whose employment terminated prior to the effective date of Plan termination, or that would have been payable to or on behalf of a Participant had his employment terminated

​

45

​

for a reason other than death on the effective date of Plan termination, in the following order of preference:

(i)to any Participant who had retired prior to the effective date of Plan termination, or who was eligible to retire on the effective date of Plan termination under said section;

(ii)to any Participant whose employment had terminated prior to the effective date of Plan termination with entitlement to a Deferred Vested Pension or who would have been eligible for a Deferred Vested Pension had his employment terminated on the effective date of Plan termination.

(d)Other Benefits: To the extent that the amount of a Pension has not been provided in the foregoing categories (a), (b) and (c), the remaining assets shall be allocated to provide the benefit accrued under the Plan, without regard to the satisfaction of the vesting requirements of this Plan, with respect to each Participant whose employment had not terminated as of the effective date of Plan termination, according to the respective Actuarial Value of each such Participant's Accrued Benefit.

If the assets of the Trust applicable to any of the above categories are insufficient to provide full benefits for all persons in such group, the benefits otherwise payable to such persons shall be reduced proportionately. The Actuary shall calculate the allocation of the assets of the Trust in accordance with the above priority categories, and certify his calculations to the Fiduciaries. The provisions of this section 11.3 are intended to comply with the provisions of ERISA (and any regulations issued thereunder). If there is any discrepancy between the provisions of this section 11.3 and the provisions of ERISA, such discrepancy shall be resolved in such a way as to comply with ERISA. No liquidation of assets and payment of benefits (or provision therefor) shall actually be made by the Trustee until after it is advised by the Employer in writing that applicable requirements, if any, of ERISA governing termination of employee pension benefit plans have been, or are being complied with or that appropriate authorizations, waivers, exemptions or variances have been, or are being, obtained.

11.4 Manner of Distribution. Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Article XI, any distribution after termination of the Plan may be made, in whole or in part, to the extent that nondiscrimination in value results, in cash, in securities or other assets in kind (based on their fair market value as of the date of distribution), or in nontransferable annuity contracts providing for Pensions commencing at Normal Retirement Date, as the Committee in its discretion shall determine. Any such distribution shall be made in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Code and the regulations thereunder.

11.5 Residual Amounts. The Employer shall not receive any amounts from the trust fund upon termination of the Plan except that, and notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, (i) the Employer shall receive such amounts, if any, as may remain after the satisfaction of all liabilities of the Plan and arising out of any variations between actual requirements and expected actuarial requirements, and (ii) the Employer may receive the amount of any contribution made under mistake of fact or disallowed as a deduction as provided in section 6.3.

ARTICLE XII. TOP-HEAVY RULES

12.1 Minimum Benefit. If this Plan is top-heavy in any Plan Year, the Plan guarantees a minimum Normal Retirement Pension for each Non-Key Employee who is a Participant in the Plan. The minimum Normal Retirement Pension is equal to the applicable percentage of the Non-Key Employee's average annual Compensation (excluding Compensation for Plan Years during which the Plan is not top heavy). The applicable percentage is two percent (2%) multiplied by the number of Years of Service (not to exceed 10) earned as a Non-Key Employee Participant in top-heavy Plan Years. The Plan satisfies the minimum benefit for a Non-Key Employee if the Non-Key Employee's Accrued Benefit at the end of the top-heavy Plan Year is at least equal to the minimum Normal Retirement Pension. For purposes of this paragraph, a Non-Key Employee Participant includes any Employee otherwise eligible to Participate in the Plan but who is not a Participant because his Compensation does not exceed a specified level. A Non-Key Employee for purposes of this paragraph shall also include any Participant who completed at least 1,000 Hours of Service during the Plan Year even though such Participant may not be an Employee on the last day of the Plan Year. For purposes of applying this Article XII, the Committee shall express the Participant's Accrued Benefit and minimum Normal Retirement Pension as a single life annuity at Normal Retirement Age.

12.2 Minimum Vesting. If a Participant's employment is terminated while the Plan is top-heavy, the following vesting schedule shall be applied with respect to such Participant notwithstanding any provision in this Plan to the contrary:

Credited Service at Termination Date |  | Percent of Accrued Benefit Vested
Less than 2 years | ​ | 0%
2 years | ​ | 20%
3 years | ​ | 40%
4 years | ​ | 60%
5 years or more | ​ | 100%

​

For purposes of satisfying the minimum benefit requirements of Code §416(c)(1) and the Plan, in determining years of Credited Service with the Employer, any years of Credited Service with the Employer shall be disregarded to the extent that such Credited Service occurs during a Plan Year when the Plan benefits (within the meaning of Code §410(b)) no Key Employee or former Key Employee.

The vesting schedule described above shall not apply to any Participant unless the Participant has accumulated at least one Hour of Service after the Plan becomes top-heavy. If the Plan becomes a top-heavy Plan and subsequently ceases to be such, the vesting schedule described above shall continue to apply in determining the deferred vested benefit of any Participant who has at least three Years of Service on the last day of the last top-heavy Plan Year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no change in the vesting schedule shall reduce the then vested percentage of any Participant.

​

47

​

12.3 Additional Accruals. If, at the end of any top-heavy Plan Year, a Non-Key Employee Participant's Accrued Benefit is not at least equal to his minimum Normal Retirement Pension, the Non-Key Employee Participant shall earn the additional accrual necessary to increase his Accrued Benefit to the minimum Normal Retirement Pension. The Non-Key Employee Participant's Accrued Benefit shall never be less than his minimum Normal Retirement Pension, regardless of the Plan's top-heavy status in Plan Years subsequent to a Plan Year in which he earned an additional accrual under this Article XII.

12.4 Compensation Limitations. For purposes of determining the minimum Normal Retirement Pension under section 12.1, the Committee shall calculate a Participant's average annual Compensation by disregarding Plan Years in which the Participant did not earn a Year of Service, and by taking the highest average over five (5) consecutive Plan Years (or, if the Participant did not receive Compensation during five (5) consecutive years, the average of annual Compensation for such lesser period of consecutive years during which the Participant received Compensation).

12.5 Determination of Top-Heavy Status. If this Plan is the only qualified plan maintained by the Employer, the Plan is top-heavy for a Plan Year if the top-heavy ratio as of the determination date exceeds 60%. The top-heavy ratio is a fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of the present value of Accrued Benefits of all Key Employees as of the determination date, determined as if the Participant terminated service as of such determination date, and distributions made within the 1-year period ending on the determination date, and the denominator of which is a similar sum determined for all Employees. The Committee shall calculate the top-heavy ratio by disregarding (i) the Accrued Benefit of any Non-Key Employee who was formerly a Key Employee, (ii) the Accrued Benefit attributable to deductible voluntary employee contributions, (iii) the Accrued Benefit (including distributions, if any, of the Accrued Benefit) of an individual who has not received any Compensation from the Employer or performed any services for the Employer during the 1-year period ending on the determination date, and (iv) proportional subsidies (but non-proportional subsidies shall not be disregarded). The preceding sentence shall also apply to distributions under a terminated plan which, had it not been terminated, would have been aggregated with the Plan under Code §416(g)(2)(A)(i). In the case of a distribution made for a reason other than severance of employment, death, or Disability, this provision shall be applied by substituting "5-year period" for "1-year period." The Accrued Benefits and accounts of any individual who has not performed services for the Employer during the 1-year period ending on the determination date shall not be taken into account. The Committee shall calculate the top-heavy ratio, including the extent to which it must take into account distributions, rollovers and transfers, in accordance with Code §416 and the regulations thereunder. The Committee shall determine present value of Employer-derived Accrued Benefits as of the most recent valuation date for computing minimum funding costs falling within the twelve-month period ending on the determination date, whether or not the Actuary performs a valuation that year, except as Code §416 and the regulations thereunder require for the first and second Plan Year of this Plan.

​

48

​

If the Employer maintains other qualified plans (including a simplified employee pension plan), this Plan is top-heavy only if it is part of the required aggregation group, and the top-heavy ratio for both the required aggregation group and the permissive aggregation group exceeds 60%. The Committee will calculate the top-heavy ratio in the same manner as required by the first paragraph of this section, taking into account all Plans within the aggregation group. To the extent the Committee must take into account distributions to a Participant, the Committee shall include distributions from a terminated plan which would have been part of the required aggregation group if it were in existence on the determination date. The Committee shall calculate the present value of Accrued Benefits and the other amounts the Committee must take into account, under defined contribution plans or simplified employee pension plans included within the group in accordance with the terms of those plans, Code §416 and the regulations thereunder. The Committee shall value the Accrued Benefits in the aggregated plan as of the most recent valuation date falling within the twelve-month period ending on the determination date, except as Code §416 and the regulations thereunder require for the first and second plan year of a defined benefit plan. The Committee shall calculate the top-heavy ratio with reference to the determination dates that fall within the same calendar year. To determine present value under this section, the Committee shall use the interest and mortality assumptions stated in the definition of Actuarial Value in Article I hereof. For purposes of this section 12.5, a Participant's Accrued Benefit in a defined benefit plan will be determined under a uniform accrual method which applies in all defined benefit plans maintained by the Employer or, where there is no such method, as if such benefit accrued not more rapidly than the slowest rate of accrual permitted under the fractional rule of Code §411(b)(1)(C).

12.6 Definitions. For purposes of applying the provisions of this Article:

(a)"Key Employee" means any Employee or former Employee (including any deceased Employee) who at any time during the Plan Year that includes the determination date was an officer of the Employer having annual compensation greater than $130,000 (as adjusted under Code §416(i)(1) for Plan Years beginning after December 31, 2002), a 5-percent owner of the Employer, or a 1-percent owner of the Employer having annual compensation of more than $150,000. For this purpose, annual compensation means compensation within the meaning of Code §415(c)(3). The determination of who is a Key Employee will be made in accordance with Code §416(i)(1) and the applicable regulations and other guidance of general applicability issued thereunder.

(b)"Non-Key Employee" is an Employee who does not meet the definition of Key Employee.

(c)"Determination Date" for any Plan Year is the last day of the preceding Plan Year or, in the case of the first Plan Year of the Plan, the last day of that Plan Year.

(d)"Required Aggregation Group" means:

(i)Each qualified Plan of the Employer in which at least one Key Employee participates; and

​

49

​

(ii)Any other qualified Plan of the Employer which enables a plan described in (i) to meet the requirements of Code §401(a)(4) or Code §410.

(e)"Permissive Aggregation Group" is the required aggregation group plus any other qualified plan maintained by the Employer, but only if such group would satisfy in the aggregate, the requirements of Code §401(a)(4) and Code §410. The Committee shall determine which Plan to take into account in determining the Permissive Aggregation Group.

(f)"Employer" shall mean all the members of a controlled group of corporations (as defined in Code §414(b), of a commonly controlled group of trades or businesses (whether or not incorporated) (as defined in Code §414(c)), or of an affiliated service group (as defined in Code §414(m)), of which the Employer is a part. However, the Committee shall not aggregate ownership interests in more than one member of a related group to determine whether an individual is a Key Employee because of his ownership interest in the Employer.

(g)"Year of Service" - A Plan Year during which an Employee completes at least one thousand (1,000) Hours of Service.

(h)"Accrued Benefit" - Solely for purposes of applying section 12.5, the Committee shall take into account, as part of a Participant's Accrued Benefit, any benefit derived from Participant contributions, except as provided in section 12.5.

(i)"Valuation Date" - The last day of the Plan Year.

ARTICLE XIII. BENEFIT LIMITATIONS

13.1 Limitation on Annual Benefit. Except as otherwise provided below, the provisions of this section 13.1 shall apply to limitation years beginning on or after January 1, 2008.

(a)Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, for any Plan Year, the "annual benefit" otherwise payable to a Participant under this Plan, and under any other defined benefit plan which is subject to Section 415 of the Code and maintained by the Company or any other member of its controlled group of corporations or trades and businesses with the meaning of Code Sections 414(b) and (c), as modified by Code Section 415(h), (referred to in this section 13.1 as the "Company") cannot exceed the lesser of:

(i)$230,000 (for 2021) (as adjusted, effective January 1 of each year, under Code Section 415(d) in such manner as the Secretary shall prescribe), or

(ii)100 percent of the Participant's average annual compensation for the Participant's three highest paid consecutive Plan Years; provided, however, benefits of up to $10,000 a Plan Year can be paid without regard to this 100 percent limitation if the total retirement benefits payable to an Employee under all defined benefit plans (as defined in Code Section 414(j)) maintained by the Company for the present and any prior Plan Years do not exceed $10,000 and the Company has not at any time maintained a defined contribution plan (as defined in Code section 414(i)) in which the Employee was a Participant.

(b)Notwithstanding the preceding, the limitations set forth above shall be adjusted as follows:

(i)If the Participant has fewer than 10 Years of Service as a Participant, the applicable dollar limitation in paragraph (a)(i) of this section shall be reduced by multiplying such limitation by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of years, or part thereof, of participation in this Plan and the denominator of which shall be 10 years.

(ii)If the Participant has fewer than 10 Years of Service with the Employer, the Compensation limitations in paragraph (a)(ii) of this section shall be reduced by multiplying such limitations by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of years, or part thereof, of service with the Employer, and the denominator of which shall be 10 years.

(iii)Pre-Age 62 benefit adjustment for Limitations Years beginning before July 1, 2007. If the benefit of a Participant begins prior to age 62, the defined benefit dollar limitation set forth in paragraph (a)(i) above applicable to the Participant at such earlier age is an annual benefit payable in the form of a single life annuity beginning at the earlier age that is the actuarial equivalent of the defined benefit dollar limitation applicable to the Participant at age 62 (as

​

51

​

adjusted above, if required). The defined benefit dollar limitation applicable at any age prior to age 62 is determined as the lesser of (A) the actuarial equivalent (at such age) of the defined benefit dollar limitation computed using the interest rate and mortality table (or other tabular factor) specified in the Plan' definition of Actuarial Value, and (B) the actuarial equivalent (at such age) of the defined benefit dollar limitation computed using a 5% interest rate and the applicable mortality table as defined in the Plan's definition Actuarial Value. Any decrease in the defined benefit dollar limitation determined in accordance with this paragraph shall not reflect a mortality decrement if benefits are not forfeited upon the death of the Participant. If any benefits are forfeited upon death, the full mortality decrement is taken into account.

(iv)Pre-Age 62 benefit adjustment for Limitation Years beginning on or after July 1, 2007.

(A)Plan does not have immediately commencing single life annuity payable at both age 62 and the age of benefit commencement. If the Annuity Starting Date for the Participant's benefit is prior to age 62 and occurs in a Limitation Year beginning on or after July 1, 2007, and the plan does not have an immediately commencing single life annuity payable at both age 62 and the age of benefit commencement, the defined benefit dollar limitation for the Participant's Annuity Starting Date is the annual amount of a benefit payable in the form of a single life annuity commencing at the Participant's Annuity Starting Date that is the Actuarial Equivalent of the defined benefit dollar limitation (adjusted under subsection (b)(i) of this section 13.1 for Years of Service less than 10, if required) with Actuarial Equivalence computed using a 5% interest rate assumption and the applicable mortality table for the Annuity Starting Date as defined in the Plan's definition Actuarial Value (and expressing the Participant's age based on completed calendar months as of the Annuity Starting Date).

(B)Plan has immediately commencing single life annuity payable at both age 62 and the age of benefit commencement. If the Annuity Starting Date for the Participant's benefit is prior to age 62 and occurs in a Limitation Year beginning on or after July 1, 2007, and the Plan has immediately commencing single life annuity payable at both age 62 and the age of benefit commencement, the defined benefit dollar limitation for the Participant's Annuity Starting Date is the lesser of the limitation determined under subsection (iv)(A) above and the defined benefit dollar limitation (adjusted under subsection (b)(i) of this section 13.1 for Years of Service less than 10, if required) multiplied by the ratio of the annual amount of the immediately commencing single Life Annuity under the Plan at the Participant's Annuity Starting Date to the annual

​

52

​

amount of the immediately commencing single Life Annuity under the Plan at age 62, both determined without applying the limitations of this article.

(v)Post-Age 65 benefit adjustment for Limitation Years beginning before July 1, 2007. If the benefit of a Participant begins after the Participant attains age 65, the defined benefit dollar limitation set forth in paragraph (a)(i) applicable to the Participant at the later age is the annual benefit payable in the form of a single life annuity beginning at the later age that is actuarially equivalent to the defined benefit dollar limitation applicable to the Participant at age 65 (as adjusted above, if required). The actuarial equivalent of the defined benefit dollar limitation applicable at any age after age 65 is determined as (A) the lesser of the actuarial equivalent (at such age) of the defined benefit dollar limitation computed using the interest rate and mortality table (or other tabular factor) specified in section 1.3 of the Plan, and (B) the actuarially equivalent (at such age) of the defined benefit dollar limitation computed using a 5% interest rate assumption and the applicable mortality table as defined in section 1.3 of the Plan. For these purposes, mortality between age 65 and the age at which benefits commence shall be ignored.

(vi)Post-Age 65 benefit adjustment for Limitation Years beginning on or after July 1, 2007.

(A)Plan does not have immediately commencing Single Life Annuity payable at both age 65 and the age of benefit commencement. If the Annuity Starting Date for the Participant's benefit is after age 65 and occurs in a Limitation Year beginning on or after July 1, 2007, and the Plan does not have an immediately commencing straight life annuity payable at both age 65 and the age of benefit commencement, the defined benefit dollar limitation at the Participant's Annuity Starting Date is the annual amount of a benefit payable in the form of a single life annuity commencing at the Participant's Annuity Starting Date that is the Actuarial Equivalent of the defined benefit dollar limitation (adjusted under subsection (b)(i) of this section 13.1 for Years of Service less than 10, if required), with Actuarial Equivalence computed using a 5% interest rate assumption and the applicable mortality table for that Annuity Starting Date as defined in section 1.3 of the Plan (and expressing the Participant's age based on completed calendar months as of the Annuity Starting Date).

(B)Plan has immediately commencing Single Life Annuity Payable at both age 65 and the age of benefit commencement. If the Annuity Starting Date for the Participant's benefit is after age 65 and occurs in a Limitation Year beginning on or after July 1, 2007, and the Plan has an immediately commencing single life annuity payable at both age 65 and the age of benefit commencement, the defined benefit dollar limitation at the Participant's Annuity Starting Date is the lesser of the

​

53

​

limitation determined under (vi)(A) above and the defined benefit dollar limitation (adjusted under subsection (b)(i) of this section 13.1 for Years of Service less than 10, if required) multiplied by the ratio of the annual amount of the adjusted immediately commencing single life annuity under the Plan at the Participant's Annuity Starting Date to the annual amount of the adjusted immediately commencing single life annuity under the Plan at age 65, both determined without applying the limitations of this article. For this purpose, the adjusted immediately commencing single life annuity under the Plan at the Participant's Annuity Starting Date is the annual amount of such annuity payable to the Participant, computed disregarding the Participant's accruals after age 65 but including actuarial adjustments even if those actuarial adjustments are used to offset accruals; and the adjusted immediately commencing single life annuity under the Plan at age 65 is the annual amount of such annuity that would be payable under the Plan to a hypothetical participant who is age 65 and has the same Accrued Benefit as the Participant.

(c)For purposes of this section 13.1, the term "annual benefit" means a benefit payable annually in the form of a single life annuity with no ancillary or incidental benefits and with no employee or rollover contributions.

(i)When retirement benefits under this Plan are payable in any form other than a single life annuity, the determination as to whether the limitations described in this section 13.1 have been satisfied shall be made in accordance with regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury or his delegate, by adjusting such benefit so that it is the actuarial equivalent value of a single life annuity.

(ii)For limitation years beginning on or after January 1, 2008, if the Participant's retirement benefits are payable in a form to which Code Section 417(e)(3) does not apply, the actuarially equivalent single life annuity shall be equal to the greater of:

(A)the annual amount of the single life annuity payable to the Participant under the Plan commencing at the same Annuity Starting Date as the form of benefit payable to the Participant, and

(B)the annual amount of the single life annuity commencing at the same Annuity Starting Date as the form of benefit payable to the Participant, computed using a 5% interest rate assumption and the applicable mortality table described in Treas. Regs. Sec. 1.417(e)-1(d)(2).

(iii)For limitation years beginning before January 1, 2008, if the Participant's retirement benefits are payable in a form to which Code Section 417(e)(3) does not apply, the actuarially equivalent single life annuity shall be equal to the annual amount of the single life annuity payable to the Participant

​

54

​

under the Plan commencing at the same Annuity Starting Date that has the same actuarial present value as the form of benefit payable to the Participant, computed using whichever of the following that produces the greater annual amount: (A) the interest rate and mortality table specified in the Plan for adjusting benefits in the same form; and (B) a 5% interest rate and the applicable mortality table.

(iv)Effective for Limitation Years beginning after December 31, 2005, if the Participant's retirement benefits are payable in a form to which Code Section 417(e)(3) does apply, the actuarially equivalent single life annuity shall be equal to the greatest of:

(A)the annual amount of the single life annuity commencing at the same Annuity Starting Date that has the same actuarial present value as the form of benefit payable to the Participant, computed using the interest rate and mortality table specified in the Plan for actuarial equivalence;

(B)the annual amount of the single life annuity commencing at the same Annuity Starting Date that has the same actuarial present value as the form of benefit payable to the Participant, computed using a 5.5% interest rate and the applicable mortality table described in Treas. Regs. Sec. 1.417(e)-1(d)(2); and

(C)the annual amount of the single life annuity commencing at the Annuity Starting Date that has the same actuarial present value as the form of benefit payable to the Participant, computed using the applicable interest rate for the distribution under Treas. Regs. Sec. 1.417(e)-1(d)(3) and the applicable mortality table for the distribution under Treas. Regs. Sec. 1.417(e)-1(d)(2), divided by 1.05.

(v)If the Participant's retirement benefits are payable in a form other than a single life annuity and Code Section 417(e)(3) applies to such benefit, and the benefit has an Annuity Starting Date occurring in the Plan Years beginning on January 1, 2004 and January 1, 2005, the actuarially equivalent single life annuity shall be equal to the single life annuity commencing on the same Annuity Starting Date that has the same actuarial present value as the Participant's form of benefit, computed using whichever of the following produces the greater annual amount: (i) the annuity benefit computed using the interest rate and mortality table specified in the Plan for determining actuarial equivalence of the Participant's retirement benefits payable in the same form of benefit, or (ii) the annuity benefit computed using a 5.5% interest rate assumption and the mortality table described in Treas. Regs. Sec. 1.417(e)-1(d)(2). Notwithstanding the foregoing, retirement benefits commencing on or after January 1, 2004 and before December 31, 2004 under any form of benefit subject to Code Section 417(e)(e) shall not, solely by reason of a change in the interest rate assumption for the 2004 Plan Year to 5.5%,

​

55

​

be less than the amount that would have been payable had the amount been determined using the interest rate specified in the Plan in effect as of the last day of the Plan Year commencing before January 1, 2004.

(d)For purposes of this section 13.1, "compensation" means, except as otherwise expressly provided, a Participant's wages, during the limitation year, within the meaning of Code Section 3401(a) (for purposes of income tax withholding at the source), plus all other payments of compensation to a Participant by the Employer (in the course of the Employer's trade or business) for services to the Employer while employed as a Participant for which the Employer is required to furnish the Participant a written statement under Code Sections 6041(d), 6051(a)(3) and 6052, but determined without regard to any rules that limit the remuneration included in wages based on the nature or location of the employment or the services performed, and including the amount of any elective contributions made by the Employer on behalf of such Participant that are not includible in the Participant's income under Code Section 125(a), 132(f)(4), 402(e)(3), 402(h)(1)(B), 402(k) or 457(b). Compensation, however:

(i)shall not include any wages paid after a Participant's severance from employment unless such payment is made before the later of: (1) 2 ½ months after the Participant's severance from employment with the Employer or (2) the end of the "limitation year" that includes the Participant's severance from employment and,

(A)the payment is regular compensation for services actually rendered, such as base salary or wages, commissions, bonuses, or other similar payments, that would have been paid to the Participant while an Employee had he or she continued in employment with the Employer; or

(B)the payment is for unused accrued bona fide sick, vacation, or other leave that the Participant would have been able to use if employment had continued; or

(C)the payment is received by a Participant pursuant to a nonqualified unfunded deferred compensation plan, but only if the payment would have been paid to the Participant at the same time if the Participant had continued in employment with the Employer and only to the extent that such payment is includible in the Participant's gross income;

(ii)shall include payments to an individual who does not currently perform services for the Employer by reason of a qualified military service (as that term is defined in Code Section 414(u)(5) and section 2.5 hereof), to the extent such payments do not exceed the amounts the individual would have received if he or she had continued to perform services for the Employer rather than entering qualified military service;

​

56

​

(iii)shall include compensation paid to a Participant who is permanently and totally Disabled (as defined in Code Section 22(e)(3)).

(iv)shall be disregarded to the extent it exceeds the annual compensation limit in effect for the "limitation year" under Code Section 401(a)(17), as adjusted annually in accordance with Code Section 401(a)(17)(B). The adjusted annual compensation limit in effect for a calendar year shall be effective for the limitation year beginning in such calendar year.

(e)For purposes of this section 13.1, the "average annual compensation for a Participant's three highest-paid consecutive years" shall mean the Participant's greatest aggregate compensation during the period of three consecutive Plan Years in which the individual was an active Participant in the Plan.

(f)If as a result of actuarial increases to the benefit of a Participant who delays commencement of benefits beyond Normal Retirement Age the Accrued Benefit of such Participant would exceed the limitations under this Section 13.1 for the limitation year, payment of benefits to such Participant will be suspended in accordance with Section 4.7 of the Plan, if applicable; otherwise, immediately before the actuarial increase to the Participant's benefit that would cause such Participant's benefit to exceed the limitations of this Section 13.1, distribution of the Participant's benefit will commence.

15.2 Time and Manner of Distribution.

(a)Required Beginning Date. The Participant's entire interest will be distributed, or begin to be distributed, to the Participant no later than the Participant's Required Beginning Date.

(b)Death of Participant Before Distributions Begin. If the Participant dies before distributions begin, the Participant's entire interest will be distributed, or begin to be distributed, no later than as follows:

(i)If the Participant's surviving spouse is the Participant's sole designated beneficiary, then distributions to the surviving spouse will begin by December 31 of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which the Participant died, or by December 31 of the calendar year in which the Participant would have attained age 70 ½ if later.

(ii)If the Participant's surviving spouse is not the Participant's sole designated beneficiary, then distributions to the designated beneficiary will begin by December 31 of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which the Participant died.

(iii)If there is no designated beneficiary as of September 30 of the year following the year of the Participant's death, the Participant's entire interest will be distributed by December 31 of the calendar year containing the fifth anniversary of the Participant's death.

​

59

​

(iv)If the Participant's surviving spouse is the Participant's sole designated beneficiary and the surviving spouse dies after the Participant but before distributions to the surviving spouse begin, this section 15.2(b), other than section 15.2(b)(i), will apply as if the surviving spouse were the Participant.

For purposes of this section 15.2(b) and section 15.5, distributions are considered to begin on the Participant's required beginning date (or, if section 15.2(b)(iv) applies, the date distributions are required to begin to the surviving spouse under section 15.2(b)(i)). If annuity payments irrevocably commence to the Participant before the Participant's required beginning date (or to the Participant's surviving spouse before the date distributions are required to begin to the surviving spouse under section 15.2(b)(i)), the date distributions are considered to begin is the date distributions actually commence.

(c)Form of Distribution. Unless the Participant's interest is distributed in the form of an annuity purchased from an insurance company or in a single sum on or before the required beginning date, as of the first distribution calendar year distributions will be made in accordance with sections 15.3, 15.4 and 15.5 of this Article XV. If the Participant's interest is distributed in the form of an annuity purchased from an insurance company, distributions thereunder will be made in accordance with the requirements of Code Section 401(a)(9) and the Treasury Regulations. Any part of the Participant's interest which is in the form of an individual account described in Code Section 414(k) will be distributed in a manner satisfying the requirements of Code Section 401(a)(9) and the Treasury Regulations that apply to individual accounts.

15.3 Determination of Amount to be Distributed Each Year.

(i)the annuity distributions will be paid in periodic payments made at intervals not longer than one year;

(ii)the distribution period will be over a life (or lives) or over a period certain not longer than the period described in section 15.4 or section 15.5;

(iii)once payments have begun over a period certain, the period certain will not be changed even if the period certain is shorter than the maximum permitted;

(iv)payments will either be non-increasing or increase only as follows:

(A)by an annual percentage increase that does not exceed the annual percentage increase in a cost-of-living index that is based on prices of all items and issued by the Bureau of Labor Statistics;

​

60

​

(B)to the extent of the reduction in the amount of the Participant's payments to provide for a survivor benefit upon death, but only if the beneficiary whose life was being used to determine the distribution period described in Section 15.4 dies or is no longer the Participant's beneficiary pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order within the meaning of Section 414(p);

(C)to provide cash refunds of employee contributions upon the Participant's death; or

The second payment need not be made until the end of the next payment interval even if that payment interval ends in the next calendar year. Payment intervals are the periods for which payments are received, e.g., bi-monthly, monthly, semi-annually, or annually. All of the Participant's benefit accruals as of the last day of the first distribution calendar year will be included in the calculation of the amount of the annuity payments for payment intervals ending on or after the Participant's required beginning date.

(c)Additional Accruals After First Distribution Calendar Year. Any additional benefits accruing to the Participant in a calendar year after the first distribution calendar year will be distributed beginning with the first payment interval ending in the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which such amount accrues.

15.4 Requirements For Annuity Distributions That Commence During Participant's Lifetime.

(a)Joint Life Annuities Where the Beneficiary Is Not the Participant's Spouse. If the Participant's interest is being distributed in the form of a joint and survivor annuity for the joint lives of the Participant and a non-spouse beneficiary, annuity payments to be made on or after the Participant's required beginning date to the designated beneficiary after the Participant's death must not at any time exceed the applicable percentage of the annuity payment for such period that would have been payable to the Participant using the table set forth in Q&A-2 of Section 1.401(a)(9)-6 of the Treasury Regulations. If the form of distribution combines a joint and survivor annuity for the joint lives of the Participant and a non-spouse beneficiary and a period certain annuity, the requirement in the preceding sentence will apply to annuity payments to be made to the designated beneficiary after the expiration of the period certain.

​

61

​

(b)Period Certain Annuities. Unless the Participant's surviving spouse is the sole designated beneficiary and the form of distribution is a period certain and no life annuity, the period certain for an annuity distribution commencing during the Participant's lifetime may not exceed the applicable distribution period for the Participant under the Uniform Lifetime Table set forth in Section 1.401(a)(9)-9 of the Treasury Regulations for the calendar year that contains the Annuity Starting Date. If the Annuity Starting Date precedes the year in which the Participant reaches age 70, the applicable distribution period for the Participant is the distribution period for age 70 under the Uniform Lifetime Table set forth in Section 1.401(a)(9)-9 of the Treasury Regulations plus the excess of 70 over the age of the Participant as of the Participant's birthday in the year that contains the Annuity Starting Date. If the Participant's surviving spouse is the Participant's sole designated beneficiary and the form of distribution is a period certain and no life annuity, the period certain may not exceed the longer of the Participant's applicable distribution period, as determined under this Section 15.4(b), or the joint life and last survivor expectancy of the Participant and the Participant's surviving spouse as determined under the Joint and Last Survivor Table set forth in Section 1.401(a)(9)-9 of the Treasury Regulations, using the Participant's and surviving spouse's attained ages as of the Participant's and surviving spouse's birthdays in the calendar year that contains the Annuity Starting Date.

15.5 Requirements For Minimum Distributions Where Participant Dies Before Date Distributions Begin:

(a)Participant Survived by a Spouse. Except as otherwise provided, if the Participant is survived by a Spouse, the pre-retirement death benefit described in Section 5.5 hereof shall be payable to the Spouse.

(b)No Surviving Spouse. If the Participant is not survived by a Spouse, no death benefit is payable under this Plan.

15.6 Definitions.

(a)Distribution Calendar Year. A calendar year for which a minimum distribution is required. For distributions beginning before the Participant's death, the first distribution calendar year is the calendar year immediately preceding the calendar year which contains the Participant's required beginning date. For distributions beginning after the Participant's death, the first distribution calendar year is the calendar year in which distributions are required to begin pursuant to section 15.2.

(b)Life Expectancy. Life expectancy as computed by use of the Single Life Table in Section 1.401(a)(9)-9 of the Treasury Regulations.

(c)Required Beginning Date. The April 1 of the calendar year following the later of either the calendar year in which the Participant attains age 70 ½ or the calendar year in which the Participant retires. For a Participant who is a 5-percent owner (as

​

62

​

defined in Code Section 416), such Participant's required beginning date is the April 1 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Participant attains age 70 ½.

15.7 REQUIRED BEGINNING DATE AFTER DECEMBER 31, 2019

(a)Application. This section 15.7 is effective with regard to RMDs required to be made after December 31, 2019.

(b)Delay of Required Beginning Date. An Affected Participant's RBD shall not be earlier than April 1 of the calendar year following the year the Affected Participant attains age 72. For purposes of determining an Affected Participant's RBD, an Affected Participant will be treated as a more than 5% owner if he or she was a 5-percent owner (as defined in Code §416(i)(B)) as to the Plan Year ending in the calendar year the Participant attains age 72.

(c)Spousal Distributions. If an Affected Participant dies prior to the Participant's RBD, and the Participant's sole Designated Beneficiary is the Participant's surviving spouse, then the RMDs to the surviving spouse will begin by December 31 of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which the Participant died, or by December 31 of the calendar year in which the Participant would have attained age 72, if later.

(d)Definitions. A Participant is an "Affected Participant" if the Participant was born after June 30, 1949. An "RMD" is a Required Minimum Distribution as described in Code §401(a)(9). A Participant's "RBD" is the Participant's Required Beginning Date as described in Code §401(a)(9)(C).

15.8 BENEFICIARY RMDS ON OR AFTER JANUARY 1, 2020

(a)Effective Date. Except as provided in Section 15.8(c), Section 15.8 will apply to Participants who die on or after January 1, 2020.

(b)10-Year Rule. If the distributee of a deceased Participant's account is a Designated Beneficiary who is not an "Eligible Designated Beneficiary," then the Plan will distribute the account in full no later than December 31 of the 10th year following the year of the Participant's death.

(c)Beneficiary Death. If an Eligible Designated Beneficiary dies before receiving distribution of the Beneficiary's entire interest in the Participant's account, the Plan will distribute that interest in full no later than December 31 of the 10th year following the year of the Eligible Designated Beneficiary's death. Similarly, if a Participant died before the effective Date of this Section 15.8, the limitations of this Section 15.8 shall apply to distributions to the beneficiary of the Participant's Designated Beneficiary.

(d)Eligible Designated Beneficiary. An individual is an "Eligible Designated Beneficiary" of a Participant if the individual qualifies as a designated beneficiary under Code §401(a)(9)(E) and is (1) the Participant's spouse, (2) the Participant's child who has

​

63

​

not reached the age of majority (as defined for purposes of Code §401(a)(9)(F), (3) an individual not more than 10 years younger than the Participant, (4) a disabled individual, as defined in Code §72(m)(7), or (5) an individual who has been certified to be chronically ill (as defined in Code §7702B(c)(2)) for a reasonably lengthy period, or indefinitely. Certain trusts may be treated as Eligible Designated Beneficiaries pursuant to Code §401(a)(9)(H)(iv) and (v). When a child of the Participant reaches the age of majority, the Plan will distribute the child's account in full no later than 10 years after that date.
