PART II

UNION HOURLY EMPLOYEES’ RETIREMENT PLAN

INTRODUCTION

The FMC Technologies, Inc. Employees’ Retirement Program (“Program”) is established effective May 1, 2001 in connection with a spin-off of assets and liabilities from the FMC Corporation Employees’ Retirement Program (the “FMC Plan”).

The Program consists of two parts, Part I Salaried and Nonunion Hourly Employees’ Retirement Plan and Part II Union Hourly Employees’ Retirement Plan, which are contained in two separate plan documents. Supplements to Part I and Part II of the Program contain provisions which apply only to a specific group of Employees or Participants as specified therein and override any contrary provision of the Program or either Part I or Part II. This document is Part II Union Hourly Employees’ Retirement Plan (“Plan”) and covers certain eligible union hourly employees as provided in Article II Participation. This document is generally effective as of May 1, 2001, except as and to the extent otherwise provided herein. This document shall not be construed to affect an FMC Participant’s accrued benefit under the FMC Plan or to alter in any way the rights of an FMC Participant, FMC Joint Annuitant, or FMC Beneficiary thereof who has retired, died or with respect to whom there has been a severance from service date under the FMC Plan.

The Plan is intended to be qualified under Code Section 401(a), and its associated trust is intended to be tax exempt under Code Section 501(a). The Plan is intended also to meet the requirements of ERISA and shall be construed wherever possible to comply with the terms of the Code and ERISA. The Plan is intended to provide a regular monthly retirement benefit for employees who meet the eligibility requirements.

(v)

Any Participant whose retirement benefits are suspended pursuant to Subsection (ii) of this Section 3.4.2 shall be notified (by personal delivery or certified or registered mail) during the first calendar month in which payments are withheld that the Participant’s retirement benefits are suspended. Such notification shall include:

(5)

the procedure for appealing the suspension, which procedure shall be governed by Section 12.11; and

 

(6)

3.5	Benefit Limitations

3.5.1 Limitation on Accrued Benefit: Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the annual benefit payable under the Plan to a Participant, when expressed as a monthly benefit commencing at the Participant’s Social Security Retirement Age (as defined in Code Section 415(b)(8)), shall not exceed the lesser of (a) $7,500 or (b) the highest average of the Participant’s monthly compensation for 3 consecutive calendar years, subject to the following:

 

(i)

The maximum shall apply to the Individual Life Annuity and to that portion of the 100% (or 50%, as applicable) Joint and Survivor’s Annuity payable to the Participant during his lifetime.

 

(ii)

If a Participant has fewer than 10 years of participation in the Plan, the maximum dollar limitation of Subsection (a) above shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator is the Participant’s actual years of participation in the Plan (computed to fractional parts of a year) and the denominator is 10. If a Participant has fewer than 10 Years of Vesting Service, the maximum compensation limitation in Subsection (b) above shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator is the Years of Vesting Service (computed to fractional parts of a year) and the denominator is 10. Provided, however, that in no event shall such dollar or compensation limitation, as applicable, be less than 1/10th of such limitation determined without regard to any adjustment under this Subsection (ii).

 

15

---

(iii)

As of January 1 of each year, 1/12th of the dollar limitation as determined by the Commissioner of Internal Revenue for that calendar year to reflect increases in the cost of living shall become effective as the maximum dollar limitation in Subsection (a) above for the Plan Year ending within that calendar year for Participants terminating in or after such Plan Year.

 

(iv)

The dollar limitation under Subsection (a) above shall be modified as follows to reflect commencement of retirement benefits on a date other than the Participant’s Social Security Retirement Age:

 

(1)

If the Participant’s Social Security Retirement Age is 65, the dollar limitation for benefits commencing on or after age 62 is determined by reducing the dollar limitation under Subsection (a) above by 5/9ths of 1% for each month by which benefits commence before the month in which the Participant attains age 65;

 

(2)

If the Participant’s Social Security Retirement Age is greater than 65, the dollar limitation for benefits commencing on or after age 62 is determined by reducing the dollar limitation under Subsection (a) above by 5/9ths of 1% for each of the first 36 months and by 5/12ths of 1% for each of the additional months by which benefits commence before the month in which the Participant attains Social Security Retirement Age;

 

(3)

If the Participant’s benefit commences prior to age 62, the dollar limitation shall be the actuarial equivalent of Subsection (a) above, payable at age 62, as determined above, reduced for each month by which benefits commence before the month in which the Participant attains age 62. Actuarial equivalence shall be determined using the greater of the interest rate assumption under the Plan for determining early retirement benefits or 5% per year. The mortality basis for determining Actuarial Equivalence for terminations prior to January 1, 1995 shall be the 1983 Group Annuity Mortality Table (weighted 50% male and 50% female);

 

(4)

In the case of a Participant whose retirement benefit commences after Social Security Retirement Age, the dollar limitation shall be the actuarial equivalent of Subsection (a) above payable at Social Security Retirement Age, using the lesser of the interest rate assumption under the Plan or 5% per year. The mortality basis for determining Actuarial Equivalence for terminations prior to January 1, 1995 shall be the 1983 Group Annuity Mortality Table (weighted 50% male and 50% female).

 

16

---

(v)

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the maximum as applied to any FMC Participant on April 1, 1987 shall in no event be less than the FMC Participant’s “current accrued benefit” under the FMC Plan as of March 31, 1987, as that term is defined in Section 1106 of the Tax Reform Act of 1986.

 

(vi)

The maximum shall apply to the benefits payable to a Participant under the Plan and all other tax-qualified defined benefit plans of the Company and Affiliates (whether or not terminated), and benefits shall be reduced, if necessary, in the reverse of the chronological order of participation in such plans.

3.5.2 Multiple Plan Reduction: With respect to a FMC Participant who did not have 1 Hour of Service after December 31, 1999 and who is (or has been) a participant in any defined contribution plan (whether or not terminated) maintained by FMC, the Company or an Affiliate, the sum of the FMC Participant’s defined benefit plan fraction (as defined under Code Section 415(e)(2)) and defined contribution plan fraction (as defined under Code Section 415(e)(3)) shall not exceed 1. If such sum exceeds 1, the FMC Participant’s defined benefit plan fraction shall be reduced until such sum equal 1.

 

3.6	FMC Participants’ Benefits

The Normal Retirement Benefit, Early Retirement Benefit Termination Benefit, and Disability Retirement Benefit for each FMC Participant who is not an Employee and who does not complete an Hour of Service on or after May 1, 2001 shall, notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 4.2 or 5.2 hereof, equal the accrued benefit of such FMC Participant as transferred from the FMC Plan in the FTI Spinoff.

Except as provided in the applicable Supplement, payment of such benefit shall commence as of the first day of the month coincident with or next following the Participant’s Normal Retirement Date, unless the Participant elects to defer commencement subject to Section 3.3.2.

4.2	Amount of Termination Benefit

Except as provided in the applicable Supplement or Section 3.6, a Participant’s monthly Termination Benefit shall be determined pursuant to Section 3.1.2 as in effect on the date his Years of Vesting Service terminate based on the Participant’s Years of Vesting Service as of such date.

(b)

not more than 90 days and not less than 30 days prior to the attainment of age 65 of a Participant (whether or not the Participant has terminated employment) who has not previously commenced receiving retirement benefits.

The election period in Section 6.3.3 for a Participant who requests additional information during the election period will be extended until 90 days after the additional information is mailed or personally delivered. Any such request shall be made only within 90 days after the date the information described in Section 6.3.1 is given to the Participant, and the Administrator shall not be obligated to comply with more than one such request. Any information provided pursuant to this Section 6.3.2 will be given to the Participant within 30 days after the date of the Participant’s request and will be based upon the estimated benefits to which the Participant will be entitled as of the later of the first day on which such benefits could commence or the last day of the Plan Year in which the Participant’s request is received.

The election period shall begin 90 days prior to the Participant’s Annuity Starting Date. Such election shall be subject to the written consent of the Participant’s spouse, acknowledging the effect of the election and witnessed by a Plan representative or a notary public. Such spousal consent shall not be required if the Participant establishes to the satisfaction of the Administrator that the consent of the spouse may not be obtained because there is no spouse or the spouse cannot be located. A spouse’s consent shall be irrevocable. The election in Section 6.1 may be revoked or changed at any time during the election period but shall be irrevocable thereafter.

6.3.4 Notwithstanding Section 6.3.3:

 

(a)

distribution of benefits may commence less than 30 days after the notice required pursuant to Section 6.3.1 is provided if:

Except as otherwise provided in the applicable Supplement, payment of the survivor’s benefit shall commence on the first day of the month coincident with or next following the later of the first date the Participant could have commenced an Early Retirement Benefit or the Participant’s death, unless the Participant’s spouse elects to commence payment of benefits as of the first day of any subsequent month, but not later than the Participant’s Normal Retirement Date.

Plan Amendment or Termination

 

11.1	Plan Amendment or Termination

The Company may, subject to any applicable Collective Bargaining Agreement, amend, modify or terminate the Plan at any time by resolution of the Board or by resolution of or other action recorded in the minutes of the Administrator or Committee. Execution and delivery by the Administrator or the Committee or by the Chairman of the Board, the President, or any Vice President of the Company of an amendment to the Plan is conclusive evidence of the amendment, modification or termination. The Committee in any event shall have the authority to amend the Plan at any time to the extent that such amendments are required in order to obtain a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service regarding the Plan’s qualification under the Code or to conform the Plan to such regulations and rulings as may be issued by the Internal Revenue Service or the United States Department of Labor.

 

11.2	Limitations on Plan Amendment

No Plan amendment can:

 

(a)

authorize any part of the Trust Fund to be used for, or diverted to, purposes other than the exclusive benefit of Participants or their Beneficiaries;

 

(b)

decrease the accrued benefits of any Participant or his or her Beneficiary under the Plan; or

 

(c)

except to the extent permitted by law, eliminate or reduce an early retirement benefit or retirement-type subsidy (as defined in Code Section 411) or an optional form of benefit with respect to service prior to the date the amendment is adopted or effective, whichever is later.

 

11.3	Effect of Plan Termination

Upon termination of the Plan, each Participant’s rights to benefits accrued hereunder shall be vested and nonforfeitable, and the Trust shall continue until the Trust Fund has been distributed as provided in Section 11.4. Any other provision hereof notwithstanding, the Participating Employers shall have no obligation to continue making contributions to the Plan after termination of the Plan. Except as otherwise provided in ERISA, neither the Participating Employers nor any other person shall have any liability or obligation to provide benefits hereunder after such termination in excess of the value of the Trust Fund. Upon such termination, Participants and Beneficiaries shall obtain benefits solely from the Trust Fund. Upon partial termination of the Plan, this Section 11.3 shall apply only with respect to such Participants and Beneficiaries as are affected by such partial termination.

11.4	Allocation of Trust Fund on Termination

On termination of the Plan, the Trust Fund shall be allocated by the Administrator on an actuarial basis among Participants and Beneficiaries in the manner prescribed by Section 4044 of ERISA. Any residual assets of the Trust Fund remaining after such allocation shall be distributed to the Company if (a) all liabilities of the Plan to Participants and Beneficiaries have been satisfied and (b) such a distribution does not contravene any provision of law. The foregoing notwithstanding, if any remaining assets of the Plan are attributable to Employee Contributions, such assets shall be equitably distributed to the Participants who made such contributions (or to their Beneficiaries) in accordance with their rate of contribution. Effective January 1, 1989, the benefit of any highly compensated employee or former employee (determined in accordance with section 414(g) of the Code and regulations thereunder) shall be limited to a benefit that is nondiscriminatory under section 401(a)(4) of the Code. In the event of a partial termination of the Plan, the Administrator shall arrange for the division of the Trust Fund, on a nondiscriminatory basis to the extent required by section 401 of the Code, into the portion attributable to those Participants and Beneficiaries who are not affected by such partial termination and the portion attributable to such persons who are so affected. The portion of the Trust Fund attributable to persons who are so affected shall be allocated in the manner prescribed by section 4044 of ERISA.

12.2	Plan Mergers

The Plan shall not be merged or consolidated with any other plan, and no assets or liabilities of the Plan shall be transferred to any other plan, unless each Participant would receive a benefit immediately after such merger, consolidation or transfer (if the Plan then terminated) which is equal to or greater than the benefit such Participant would have been entitled to receive immediately before such merger, consolidation or transfer (if the Plan had then been terminated). A list of other plans which have been merged into the FMC Plan or this Plan is attached hereto and made a part hereof as Exhibit A.

 

12.3	No Assignment of Property Rights

The interest or property rights of any person in the Plan, in the Trust Fund or in any payment to be made under the Plan shall not be assignable nor be subject to alienation or option, either by voluntary or involuntary assignment or by operation of law, including (without limitation) bankruptcy, garnishment, attachment or other creditor’s process, and any act in violation of this Section 12.3 shall be void. This provision shall not apply to a “qualified domestic relations order” defined in Code Section 414(p). The Company shall establish a written procedure to determine the qualified status of domestic relations orders and to administer distributions under such qualified orders.

In addition, the prohibition of this Section 12.3 will not apply to any offset of a Participant’s benefit under the Plan against an amount the Participant is ordered or required to pay to the Plan under a judgment, order, decree or settlement agreement that meets the requirements as set forth in this Section 12.3. The Participant must be ordered or required to pay the Plan under a judgment of conviction for a crime involving the Plan, under a civil judgment (including a consent order or decree) entered by a court in an action brought in connection with a violation (or alleged violation) of part 4 of subtitle B of title I of ERISA, or pursuant to a settlement agreement between the Secretary of Labor and the Participant in connection with a violation (or alleged violation) of that part 4. This judgment, order, decree or settlement agreement must expressly provide for the offset of all or part of the amount that must be paid to the Plan against the Participant’s benefit under the Plan. In addition, if a Participant is entitled to receive a 100% Joint and Survivor Annuity under Section 6.1 of the Plan or a Surviving Spouse’s

 

32

---

Benefit under Section 7.1 of the Plan, and the Participant is married at the time at which the offset is to be made, the Participant’s spouse must consent to the offset in accordance with the spousal consent requirements of Section 6.3.3 of the Plan, an election to waive the right of the spouse to the 100% Joint and Survivor Annuity (made in accordance with Section 6.3 of the Plan) or the Surviving Spouse’s Benefit under Section 7.1 of the Plan, must be in effect, the spouse is ordered or required in the judgment, order, decree, or settlement to pay an amount to the Plan in connection with a violation of Part 4 of subtitle B or ERISA Title I, or the spouse retains in the judgment, order, decree, or settlement the right to receive the survivor annuity under the 100% Joint and Survivor Annuity or under the Surviving Spouse’s Benefit, determined in the following manner: the Participant terminated employment on the date of the offset, there was no offset, the Plan permitted the commencement of benefits only on or after Normal Retirement Age, the Plan provided only the minimum-required qualified joint and survivor annuity, and the amount of the Surviving Spouse’s Benefit under the Plan is equal to the amount of the survivor annuity payable under the minimum-required qualified joint and survivor annuity. For purposes of this Section 12.3 the term “minimum-required qualified joint and survivor annuity” means a qualified joint and survivor annuity which is the Actuarial Equivalent of the Participant’s accrued benefit and under which the survivor’s annuity is 50% of the amount of the annuity which is payable during the joint lives of the Participant and the Participant’s spouse.

 

12.4	Beneficiary

To the extent permitted by the applicable Supplement, the Beneficiary of a Participant shall be the person or persons so designated by such Participant with spousal consent and in accordance with Section 6.3. A Participant may revoke and change a designation of a Beneficiary at any time. A designation of a Beneficiary, or any revocation and change thereof, shall be effective only if it is made in writing in a form acceptable to the Administrator and is received by it prior to the Participant’s death.

 

12.5	Benefits Payable to Minors, Incompetents and Others

If any benefit is payable to a minor, an incompetent, or a person otherwise under a legal disability, or to a person the Administrator reasonably believes to be physically or mentally incapable of handling and disposing of his or her property, whether because of his or her advanced age, illness, or other physical or mental impairment, the Administrator has the power to apply all or any part of the benefit directly to the care, comfort, maintenance, support, education, or use of the person, or to pay all or any part of the benefit to the person’s parent, guardian, committee, conservator, or other legal representative, wherever appointed, to the individual with whom the person is living or to any other individual or entity having the care and control of the person. The Plan, the Administrator and any other Plan fiduciary will have fully discharged all responsibilities to the Participant or Beneficiary entitled to a payment by making payment under the preceding sentence.

 

33

---

12.6	Employment Rights

Nothing in the Plan shall be deemed to give any person a right to remain in the employ of the Company and Affiliates or affect any right of the Company or any Affiliate to terminate a person’s employment with or without cause.

 

12.7	Proof of Age and Marriage

Participants and Beneficiaries shall furnish proof of age and marital status satisfactory to the Administrator at such time or times as it shall prescribe. The Administrator may delay the disbursement of any benefits under the Plan until all pertinent information with respect to age or marital status has been furnished and then make payment retroactively.

 

12.8	Small Annuities

If the lump sum Actuarial Equivalent value of a retirement or survivor’s benefit is $5,000 or less, such amount shall be paid in a lump sum as soon as administratively practicable following the Participant’s retirement, termination of employment, or death.

If a lump sum distribution is so paid and the Participant is thereafter reemployed by the Company, the Participant shall have the option to repay to the Plan the amount of such distribution, together with interest at the rate of 5% per annum (or such other rate as may be prescribed pursuant to section 411(c)(2)(C)(III) of the Code), compounded annually from the date of the distribution to the date of repayment. If a reemployed Participant does not make such repayment, no part of the Period of Service with respect to which the lump sum distribution was made shall count as Years of Vesting Service or Years of Credited Service.

 

12.9	Controlling Law

The Plan and all rights thereunder shall be interpreted and construed in accordance with ERISA and, to the extent that state law is not preempted by ERISA, the law of the State of Illinois.

 

12.10

Direct Rollover Option

Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary that would otherwise limit a distributee’s election under this Section 12.10, a distributee may elect, at the time and in the manner prescribed by the Administrator, to have any portion of an eligible rollover distribution paid directly to an eligible retirement plan specified by the distributee in a direct rollover.

 

(a)

As used in this Section 12.10, an “eligible rollover distribution” means any distribution of all or any portion of the balance to the credit of the distributee, except that an eligible rollover distribution does not include: any distribution that is one of a series of substantially equal periodic payments (not less frequently than annually) made for the life (or life expectancy) of the distributee or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies)

 

34

---

of the distributee and the distributee’s designated beneficiary, or for a specified period of 10 years or more; any distribution to the extent such distribution is required under Section 401(a)(9) of the Code; the portion of any distribution that is not includible in gross income (determined without regard to the exclusion for net unrealized appreciation with respect to employer securities); and any other distribution(s) that is reasonably expected to total less than $200 during a year.

 

(b)

As used in this Section 12.10, an “eligible retirement plan” means an individual retirement account described in Section 408(a) of the Code, an individual retirement annuity described in Section 408(b) of the Code, an annuity plan described in Section 403(a) of the Code, or a qualified trust described in Section 401(a) of the Code, that accepts the distributee’s eligible rollover distribution. In the case of an eligible rollover distribution to the surviving spouse, however, an eligible retirement plan is an individual retirement account or individual retirement annuity.

 

(c)

As used in this Section 12.10, a “distributee” includes an Employee or former Employee. In addition, the Employee’s or former Employee’s surviving spouse and the Employee’s or former Employee’s spouse or former spouse who is the alternate payee under a qualified domestic relations order, as defined in Section 414(p) of the Code, are distributees with regard to the interest of the spouse or former spouse.

 

(d)

As used in this Section 12.10, a “direct rollover” is a payment by the Plan to the eligible retirement plan specified by the distributee.

12.11 Claims Procedure

12.11.1 Any application for benefits under the Plan and all inquiries concerning the Plan shall be submitted to the Company at such address as may be announced to Participants from time to time.

12.11.4 Any person (or his authorized representative) whose application for benefits is denied in whole or in part may appeal the denial by submitting to the Review Panel a request for a review of the application within 60 days after receiving written notice of the denial.

In the event the Review Panel confirms the denial of the application for benefits in whole or in part, such notice shall set forth in a manner calculated to be understood by the applicant, the specific reasons for such denial and specific references to the Plan provisions on which the decision is based.

12.11.6 The Review Panel shall establish such rules and procedures, consistent with ERISA and the Plan, as it may deem necessary or appropriate in carrying out its responsibilities under this Section 12.11.

12.11.7 No legal or equitable action for benefits under the Plan shall be brought unless and until the claimant (a) has submitted a written application for benefits in accordance with Section 12.10.1, (b) has been notified by the Company that the application is denied, (c) has filed a written request for a review of the application in accordance with Section 12.10.4 and (d) has been notified in writing that the Review Panel has affirmed the denial of the application; provided that legal action may be brought after the Review Panel has failed to take any action on the claim within the time prescribed in Section 12.11.5. A claimant may not bring an action for benefits in accordance with this Section 12.11.7 after 90 days after the Review Panel denies the claimant’s application for benefits.

Aggregate Account means the value of all accounts maintained on behalf of a Participant, whether attributable to Company or employee contributions, determined under applicable provisions of the defined contribution plan used in determining Top Heavy Plan status.

Aggregation Group means the group of plans in a Mandatory Aggregation Group, if any, that includes the Plan, unless including additional Related Plans in the group would prevent the Plan for being a Top Heavy Plan, in which case Aggregation Group means the group of plans in a Permissive Aggregation Group, if any, that includes the Plan.

Compensation means compensation as defined in Code Section 415(c)(3) and Treasury regulations thereunder. For purposes of determining who is a Key Employee, Compensation will be applied by taking into account amounts paid by Affiliates who are not Participating Employers, as well as amounts paid by Participating Employers, and without applying the exclusions for amounts paid by a Participating Employer to cover an Employee’s nonqualified deferred compensation FICA tax obligations and for gross-up payments on such FICA tax payments.

Determination Date means, for a Plan Year, the last day of the preceding Plan Year. If the Plan is part of an Aggregation Group, the Determination Date for each other plan will be, for any Plan Year, the Determination Date for that other plan that falls in the same calendar year as the Determination Date for the Plan.

Key Employee means an employee described in Code Section 416(i)(1) and the regulations promulgated thereunder. Generally, a Key Employee is an Employee or former Employee who, at any time during the Plan Year containing the Determination Date or any of the 4 preceding Plan Years, is:

an officer of the Company or an Affiliate with annual Compensation greater than 50% of the amount in effect under Code Section 415(b)(1)(A);

 

(b)

one of the 10 Employees of the Company and all Affiliates owning (or considered to own within the meaning of Code Section 318) the largest interests in any of the Company and the Affiliates, but only if the Employee has annual Compensation greater than the limitation in effect under Code Section 415(c)(1)(A);

 

(c)

a 5% owner of the Company or an Affiliate; or

(a)

had a participant who was a Key Employee; or

was required to be considered with a plan in which a Key Employee participated in order to enable the plan in which the Key Employee participated to meet the requirements of Code Section 401(a)(4) or 410(b).

Non-key Employee means an Employee or former Employee who is not a Key Employee.

Permissive Aggregation Group means the group of plans consisting of the plans in a Mandatory Aggregation Group with the Plan, plus any other Related Plan or Plans that, when considered as a part of the Aggregation Group, does not cause the Aggregation Group to fail to satisfy the requirements of Code Section 401(a)(4) or 410(b).

the Actuarial Valuation Date must be the same date used for computing the defined benefit plan minimum funding costs, regardless of whether a valuation is performed that Plan Year.

(a)

the Actuarial Equivalent present value of accrued benefits;

 

(b)

any Plan distributions made within the Plan Year that includes the Determination Date or within the 4 preceding Plan Years. However, in the case of distributions made after the valuation date and prior to the Determination Date, such distributions are not included as distributions for top heavy purposes to the extent that such distributions are already included in the Participant’s present value of accrued benefits as of the valuation date. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, all distributions, including distributions under a terminated plan which if it had not been terminated would have been required to be included in an Aggregation Group, will be counted;

 

39

---

(c)

any Employee Contributions, whether voluntary or mandatory. However, amounts attributable to tax deductible Qualified Voluntary Employee Contributions shall not be considered to be a part of the Participant’s present value of accrued benefits;

 

(d)

with respect to unrelated rollovers and plan-to-plan transfers (ones which are both initiated by the Participant and made from a plan maintained by one employer to a plan maintained by another employer), if this Plan provides for rollovers or plan-to-plan transfers, it shall always consider such rollover or plan-to-plan transfer as a distribution for the purposes of this Section 13.1. If this Plan is the plan accepting such rollovers or plan-to-plan transfers, it shall not consider such rollovers or plan-to-plan transfers, as part of the Participant’s present value of accrued benefits; and

 

(e)

with respect to related rollovers and plan-to-plan transfers (ones either not initiated by the Participant or made to a plan maintained by the same employer), if this Plan provides the rollover or plan-to-plan transfer, it shall not be counted as a distribution for purposes of this Section. If this Plan is the plan accepting such rollover or plan-to-plan transfer, it shall consider such rollover or plan-to-plan transfer as part of the Participant’s present value of accrued benefits, irrespective of the date on which such rollover or plan-to-plan transfer is accepted.

Related Plan means any other defined contribution plan (a “Related Defined Contribution Plan”) or defined benefit plan (a “Related Defined Benefit Plan”) (both as defined in Code Section 415(k), maintained by the Company or an Affiliate.

In determining the sum of the Present Value of Accrued Benefits and/or Aggregate Accounts for all employees, the present value of accrued benefits and/or Aggregate Accounts for any Non-key Employee who was a Key Employee for any Plan Year preceding the Plan Year that contains the Determination Date will be excluded.

Super Top Heavy Plan means the Plan when it is described in the second sentence of Section 13.2.

A Top Heavy Aggregation Group exists in any Plan Year for which, as of the Determination Date, the sum of the Present Value of Accrued Benefits for Key Employees under all plans in the Aggregation Group exceeds 60% of the sum of the Present Value of Accrued Benefits for all employees under all plans in the Aggregation Group. In determining the sum of the Present Value of Accrued Benefits for all employees, the Present Value of Accrued Benefits for any Non-key Employee who was a Key Employee for any Plan Year preceding the Plan Year that contains the Determination Date will be excluded.
