2.6.2 The Participant will be permitted to make up Pre-Tax and/or After-Tax Contributions missed during the period of qualifying military service, so long as he or she does so during the period of time beginning on the date of the Participant’s reemployment with the Participating Employer following his or her period of qualifying military service and extending over the lesser of (a) three times the length of the Participant’s period of qualifying military service, and (b) five years.

2.6.3 The Participating Employer will not credit earnings to a Participant’s Account with respect to any Pre-Tax or After-Tax Contribution before the contribution is actually made.

2.6.4 A reemployed Matched Participant will be entitled to accrued benefits attributable to Pre-Tax or After-Tax Contributions only if they are actually made.

 

-11-

---

2.6.5 For all Plan purposes, including the Participating Employer’s liability for making contributions on behalf of a reemployed Participant as described above, the Participant will be treated as having received Compensation from the Participating Employer based on the rate of Compensation the Participant would have received during the period of qualifying military service, or if that rate is not reasonably certain, on the basis of the Participant’s average rate of Compensation during the 12-month period immediately preceding the period of qualifying military service.

2.6.6 If a Participant makes a Pre-Tax or After-Tax Contribution in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.6:

 

(a)

those contributions will not be subject to any otherwise applicable limitation under Code Section 402(g), 404(a) or 415, and will not be taken into account in applying those limitations to other contributions under the Plan or any other plan, for the year in which the contributions are made; the contributions will be subject to the above-referenced limitations only for the year to which the contributions relate and only in accordance with regulations prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service; and

 

(b)

the Plan will not be treated as failing to meet the requirements of Code Section 401(a)(4), 401(a)(26), 401(k)(3), 410(b) or 416 by reason of the contributions.

ARTICLE III

Contributions and Account Allocations

 

3.1	Pre-Tax Contributions

The Company will transmit to the Funding Agent the Pre-Tax Contributions for the Participants. To determine the amount it must transmit for each Participant, the Company will multiply the percentage elected by the Participant in his or her Pre-Tax Contribution Election by the Participant’s Compensation.

 

3.2	After-Tax Contributions

The Company will transmit to the Funding Agent the After-Tax Contributions for the Participants. To determine the amount it must transmit for each Participant, the Company will multiply the percentage elected by the Participant in his or her After-Tax Contribution Election by the Participant’s Compensation.

 

-12-

---

3.3	Rules Applicable to Both Pre-Tax and After-Tax Contributions

3.3.1 In making his or her Pre-Tax Contribution Election and After-Tax Contribution Election, a Participant must choose to defer or contribute between 2% and 20% of his or her Compensation, in 1% increments. The Participant’s Pre-Tax Contribution Election and After-Tax Contribution Election cannot together total more than 20% of his or her Compensation. For certain Participants listed on Appendix C for periods beginning on the Effective Date through December 31, 2001, the minimum deferral or contribution election may be less than 2% under the Participants’ prior election under the FMC Plans. The Administrator may reduce the amount of any Pre-Tax Contribution Election, or make such other modifications it deems necessary, so that the Plan complies with the provisions of Code Section 401(k). Pre-Tax and After-Tax Contributions will be made on a payroll deduction basis and in accordance with uniform and nondiscriminatory rules and procedures established by the Administrator. A Participant’s Salary Deferral Election will apply only to Compensation paid to the Participant while he or she is an Eligible Employee.

3.3.2 A Participant may change his or her Pre-Tax or After-Tax Contribution Election percentage or discontinue making Pre-Tax Contributions or After-Tax Contributions, as frequently as permitted by the Administrator, by completing the form or following any other election change procedure prescribed by the Administrator. An election change will become effective according to the uniform and nondiscriminatory rules established by the Administrator.

3.3.3 Pre-Tax and After-Tax Contributions will be delivered to the Funding Agent as of the earliest date they are known and can reasonably be segregated from the general assets of the Participating Employer. In no event will that date be later than the 15th business day of the month following the month they would have been paid to the Participant if he or she had not chosen to defer their payment or contribute them to the Plan.

3.3.4 Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the amount contributed by the Participating Employers as Pre-Tax Contributions and by Participants as After-Tax Contributions must not exceed, in the aggregate, 15% of the total Compensation for the Plan Year for those Participants employed by the Participating Employers eligible for an allocation for that Plan Year. In addition, the amount contributed by the Participating Employers to this Plan or any other qualified plan maintained by the Participating Employers pursuant to a Participant’s Pre-Tax Contribution Election must not exceed the Code Section 402(g) limit applicable for that calendar year.

 

3.4	Company Contributions

3.4.1 For each contribution period, as defined in Section 3.4.2, the Company will make a Company Contribution to the Company Contribution Account of each Matched Participant equal to:

 

(a)

the applicable percentage of all Basic Contributions made by the Matched Participant for that contribution period and initially invested in the Company Stock Fund, or, for periods beginning before the Distribution Date, the FMC Stock Fund; plus

 

-13-

---

(b)

the applicable percentage of all Basic Contributions made by the Matched Participant for that contribution period and initially invested in any Investment Funds other than the Company Stock Fund, or, for periods beginning before the Distribution Date, the FMC Stock Fund; less

 

(c)

any Forfeitures credited against the Company Contribution for that contribution period.

No Company Contribution will be made with respect to Supplemental Contributions.

The applicable percentage for a Plan Year will be determined by the Company before the start of the Plan Year. It is currently anticipated that the applicable percentage will be different for Basic Contributions initially invested in the Company Stock Fund, or, for periods beginning before the Distribution Date, the FMC Stock Fund, than for Basic Contributions initially invested in other Investment Funds. The Company will communicate the applicable percentages for each Plan Year as soon as possible after they are determined.

3.4.2 The Company Contribution for each contribution period will be paid to the Funding Agent as soon as practicable. The Company Contribution will be allocated to each Matched Participant who made Basic Contributions during that contribution period, by multiplying the Matched Participant’s own Basic Contributions for the contribution period by the applicable percentages determined for the Matched Participant, as described above. All Company Contributions will be invested in the Company Stock Fund or, for periods beginning before the Distribution Date, the FMC Stock Fund. Each calendar week will be a contribution period. Subject to the special provisions of Section 3.13 through 3.15, all Company Contributions for a Plan Year will be allocated to Matched Participants’ Company Contribution Accounts no later than the due date (including all extensions) of the Company’s federal tax return for the fiscal year of the Company ending with or within the Plan Year.

 

3.5	Rollover Contributions

With the approval of the Administrator, a Participant or Eligible Employee may make a Rollover Contribution to the Plan. A Participant’s Rollover Contribution will be allocated to his or her Rollover Contribution Account no later than the first day of the month following the month in which the contribution is made. A Rollover Contribution must be made in cash. If an Employee makes a contribution that was intended to be a Rollover Contribution and the Funding Agent later discovers it was not a Rollover Contribution, the Funding Agent will distribute the balance of the Participant’s Rollover Contribution Account to him or her as soon as practicable.

 

3.6	Establishment of Accounts

3.6.1 Each Participant to whom Pre-Tax Contributions are allocated will have a Pre-Tax Contribution Account. The Pre-Tax Contribution Account will be credited with the Pre-Tax Contributions allocable to the Participant and the income on those contributions, and will be debited with expenses, losses, withdrawals and distributions chargeable to those contributions.

3.6.2 Each Participant who makes After-Tax Contributions will have an After-Tax Contribution Account. The After-Tax Contribution Account will be credited with the After-Tax Contributions the Participant makes and the income on those contributions, and will be debited with expenses, losses, withdrawals and distributions chargeable to those contributions.

 

-14-

---

3.6.3 Each Matched Participant who makes Basic Contributions will have a Company Contribution Account. The Company Contribution Account will be credited with any Company Contributions made on behalf of the Matched Participant under Section 3.4, and the income on those contributions, and will be debited with expenses, losses, withdrawals and distributions chargeable to those contributions.

3.6.4 Each Participant who makes a Rollover Contribution to the Plan pursuant to Section 3.5 will have a Rollover Contribution Account. The Rollover Contribution Account will be credited with all Rollover Contributions made by the Participant and the income on those contributions, and will be debited with expenses, losses, withdrawals and distributions chargeable to those contributions.

 

3.7	Limitation on Annual Additions to Accounts

Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, the total annual additions allocated for any Plan Year to the Account of a Participant and to his or her accounts under any other defined contribution plan maintained by the Company or an Affiliate must not exceed $30,000 or 25% of the Participant’s Compensation. For purposes of this Section 3.7, “annual additions” include all Pre-Tax Contributions, After-Tax Contributions, Company Contributions and Forfeitures allocated to the Participant’s Accounts for the Plan Year, except for Excess Pre-Tax Contributions (as described in Section 3.11.4) distributed to the Participant by April 15 following the year for which they were contributed to the Plan. “Annual additions” also include any employer and employee contributions and forfeitures allocated for the Plan Year under other defined contribution plans of the Company and the Affiliates.

 

3.8	Reduction of Annual Additions

If the annual additions allocated to a Participant’s Accounts for the Plan Year exceed the limitation described in Section 3.7, annual additions, with their earnings, will be returned to the Participant in the minimum amount necessary to meet the limitation on annual additions. Supplemental Contributions (both After-Tax Contributions and Pre-Tax Contributions, in that order) will be returned first, and if there are not enough to satisfy the limitation on annual additions, Basic Contributions (both After-Tax Contributions and Pre-Tax Contributions, in that order) will be returned. If, after all of the Participant’s Supplemental and Basic Contributions have been returned, the annual additions allocated to the Participant’s Account for the Plan Year still exceed the limitation described in Section 3.7, the excess amounts attributable to Company Contributions will be held in a suspense account containing the excess amounts attributable to Company Contributions for all Matched Participants, and will be used to reduce the Company Contributions for the following Plan Year (and later Plan Years, if necessary), before any Company Contributions that would be annual additions for the next Plan Year (or later Plan Years, if necessary) are made to the Plan.

3.9	Limitations on Pre-Tax Contributions, After-Tax Contributions and Company Contributions - Definitions

For purposes of Sections 3.9 through 3.15, the terms defined below have the meanings ascribed to them in this Section 3.9.

3.9.1 Actual Contribution Percentage means the sum of any After-Tax Contributions and Company Contributions allocated to the Eligible Participant for the Plan Year, plus any of the Eligible Participant’s Pre-Tax Contributions treated as Company Contributions for the Plan Year, divided by the Eligible Participant’s Plan Year Compensation, and stated as a percentage. All
after-tax employee contributions and employer matching contributions made on behalf of a Highly Compensated Employee under all plans of the Company and its Affiliates will be aggregated to determine the Highly Compensated Employee’s Actual Contribution Percentage. A Company Contribution that is treated as a Pre-Tax Contribution under Section 3.13.7 is subject to Section 3.13 and is not taken into account in calculating an Eligible Participant’s Actual Contribution Percentage. A Company Contribution that is forfeited to correct Excess Aggregate Contributions, or because the contribution to which it relates is treated as an Excess Contribution, Excess Pre-Tax Contribution or Excess Aggregate Contribution is not taken into account in calculating the Eligible Participant’s Actual Contribution Percentage. The Actual Contribution Percentage of an Eligible Participant who does not make a Pre-Tax Contribution Election or an After-Tax Contribution Election is 0.0%.

3.9.2 Actual Deferral Percentage means the amount of Pre-Tax Contributions allocated to the Eligible Participant for the Plan Year, divided by his or her Plan Year Compensation, stated as a percentage. In calculating the Actual Deferral Percentage, Pre-Tax Contributions include Excess Pre-Tax Contributions for Highly Compensated Employees (whether they were made under plans of unrelated employers or plans of the same or related employers) but do not include Excess Pre-Tax Contributions for Nonhighly Compensated Employees. The Actual Deferral Percentage of an Eligible Participant who does not make a Pre-Tax Contribution Election is 0.0%.

3.9.3 Aggregate Limit means the greater of:

 

(a)

the sum of:

 

(i)

1.25 times the Average Actual Deferral Percentage or the Average Actual Contribution Percentage of the group, whichever is larger; and

 

(ii)

two percentage points plus the Average Actual Deferral Percentage or the Average Actual Contribution Percentage of the group, whichever is less, but in no event more than twice the lesser of the group’s Average Actual Deferral Percentage and its Average Actual Contribution Percentage; and

 

(b)

the sum of:

 

(i)

1.25 times the Average Actual Deferral Percentage or the Average Actual Contribution Percentage of the group, whichever is less; and

 

-16-

---

(ii)

two percentage points plus the Average Actual Deferral Percentage or the Average Actual Contribution Percentage of the group, whichever is larger, but in no event more than twice the larger of the group’s Average Actual Deferral Percentage and its Average Actual Contribution Percentage.

For purposes of this Section 3.10.3, the “group” is the group of Eligible Participants who are Nonhighly Compensated Employees for the preceding Plan Year.

3.9.4 Average Actual Contribution Percentage means the average of the Actual Contribution Percentages of the Eligible Participants in a group.

3.9.5 Average Actual Deferral Percentage means the average of the Actual Deferral Percentages of the Eligible Participants in a group.

3.9.6 Eligible Participant means any Employee who is eligible to make a Pre-Tax Contribution Election or an After-Tax Contribution Election any time during the Plan Year.

3.9.7 Excess Aggregate Contributions means, for any Plan Year, the excess of the Company and After-Tax Contributions (and any Pre-Tax Contributions or pre-tax salary deferrals under other plans taken into account in determining the Actual Contribution Percentages) actually made on behalf of Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year, over the maximum amount of Company and After-Tax Contributions permitted under Section 3.14 for the Plan Year. The amount of the Excess Aggregate Contribution for any given Eligible Participant is determined by making bookkeeping reductions (as opposed to actual reductions) in contributions. The reductions will be made by reducing the Company and After-Tax contributions for the Highly Compensated Employee with the highest combined dollar amount of Company and After-Tax Contributions by the lesser of: (a) the amount necessary for the dollar amount of that Highly Compensated Employee’s combined Company and After-Tax Contributions to equal the combined dollar amount of the Company and After-Tax Contributions of the Highly Compensated Employee with the next highest combined dollar amount of Company and After-Tax Contributions; and (b) the amount necessary for the Plan to satisfy the Actual Contribution Percentage Test. The Administrator will repeat this bookkeeping procedure until the Plan satisfies the Actual Contribution Percentage Test of Section 3.14. For each Highly Compensated Employee’s reductions, the Administrator will begin by making reductions in his or her Company Contributions, and will reduce the Highly Compensated Employee’s After-Tax Contributions only if his or her Company contributions for the Plan Year have been reduced to zero and it is still necessary to reduce his or her Plan Year contributions. The amount of any Highly Compensated Employee’s Excess Aggregate Contributions is calculated after determining the Excess Contribution to be recharacterized as After-Tax Contributions for the Plan Year.

3.9.8 Excess Contributions means for any Plan Year, the excess of the Pre-Tax Contributions (and any Company contributions taken into account in determining the Actual Deferral Percentages) that are made on behalf of Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year, over the maximum amount of Pre-Tax Contributions permitted under Section 3.13 for the Plan Year. The amount of the Excess Contribution for any given Eligible Participant is determined by making bookkeeping reductions (as opposed to actual reductions) in

 

-17-

---

contributions. The reduction will be made by reducing the Pre-Tax Contributions for the Highly Compensated Employee with the highest dollar amount of Pre-Tax Contributions by the lesser of: (a) the amount necessary for the dollar amount of that Highly Compensated Employee’s Pre-Tax Contributions to equal the dollar amount of the Pre-Tax Contributions for the Highly Compensated Employee with the next highest dollar amount of Pre-Tax Contributions, and (b) the amount necessary for the Plan to satisfy the Actual Deferral Percentage Test. The Administrator will repeat this bookkeeping procedure until the Plan satisfies the Actual Deferral Percentage Test set forth in Section 3.13.

3.9.9 Excess Pre-Tax Contribution means the amount of Pre-Tax Contributions for a calendar year that are includible in a Participant’s gross income under Code Section 402(g) because the Participant’s elective deferrals exceed the dollar limitation under Code Section 402(g) as determined under Sections 3.11 and 3.12.

 

3.10	Maximum Amount of Pre-Tax Contributions

The total amount of Pre-Tax Contributions, 401(k) contributions under another qualified plan, and deferrals under a Code Section 403(b) annuity, a simplified employee pension and/or a simple retirement account allocated to a Participant in any calendar year cannot exceed the dollar limitation in effect under Code Section 402(g) for that year.

 

3.11	Correction of Excess Pre-Tax Contributions

3.11.1 Excess Pre-Tax Contributions, as adjusted per Section 3.12.2, will be distributed to each Participant on whose behalf they were made no later than the first April 15 following the close of the taxable year of the Participant for which they were allocated. In no event may the amount distributed under this Section 3.12 exceed the Participant’s total Pre-Tax Contributions (as adjusted under Section 3.12.2 for income and losses allocable to them) for the taxable year for which he or she had Excess Pre-Tax Contributions.

3.11.2 The Excess Pre-Tax Contributions to be distributed to a Participant will be adjusted for income or losses through the close of the Plan Year for which they were made. Income and losses allocable to a Participant’s Excess Pre-Tax Contributions will be determined in a nondiscriminatory manner (within the meaning of Code Section 401(a)(4)) consistent with the valuation of Participant Accounts under Section 10.4.

3.11.3 If a Participant has Excess Pre-Tax Contributions, but only when taking into account his or her pre-tax contributions under another plan, in order to receive a distribution of Excess Pre-Tax Contributions, he or she must make a written claim to the Administrator no later than the March 15 following the taxable year of the Participant for which the contributions were made. The claim must specify the amount of the Participant’s Excess Pre-Tax Contributions for the preceding taxable year and be accompanied by the Participant’s written statement that if those amounts are not distributed, the Participant’s Pre-Tax Contributions, when added to amounts deferred under other plans or arrangements described in Code Sections 401(k), 402(h)(1)(B) (a simplified employee pension), 403(b) (an annuity plan) or 408(p)(2)(A)(i) (a simple retirement plan) will exceed the limit imposed on the Participant by Code Section 402(g) for the year in which the deferral occurred.

 

-18-

---

3.11.4 Excess Pre-Tax Contributions distributed prior to the first April 15 following the close of the Participant’s taxable year will not be treated as Annual Additions under Section 3.7 for the preceding Limitation Year.

3.11.5 Any Pre-Tax Contributions that are properly distributed under Section 3.8 as excess Annual Additions are disregarded in determining if there are any Excess Pre-Tax Contributions.

 

3.12	Actual Deferral Percentage Test

3.12.1 The Average Actual Deferral Percentage for Eligible Participants who are Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year may not exceed the greater of:

 

(a)

the Average Actual Deferral Percentage for Eligible Participants who are Nonhighly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year multiplied by 1.25; and

 

(b)

the lesser of:

 

(i)

the Average Actual Deferral Percentage for Eligible Participants who are Nonhighly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year multiplied by two and

 

(ii)

the Average Actual Deferral Percentage for Eligible Participants who are Nonhighly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year plus two percentage points.

3.12.2 The provisions of Code Section 401(k)(3) are incorporated by reference.

3.12.3 If this Plan satisfies the requirements of Code Sections 401(a)(4), 401(k), and 410(b) only if aggregated with one or more other plans, or if one or more other plans satisfy the requirements of those Code sections only if aggregated with this Plan, then this Section 3.13 is applied by determining the Actual Deferral Percentages of Eligible Participants as if all the plans were a single plan.

3.12.4 The Administrator also may treat one or more plans as a single plan with the Plan whether or not the aggregated plans must be aggregated to satisfy Code Sections 401(a)(4) and 410(b). However, those plans must then be treated as one plan under Code Sections 401(a)(4), 401(k), and 410(b). Plans may be aggregated under this Section 3.13.4 only if they have the same plan year.

3.12.5 Pre-Tax Contributions may be considered made for a Plan Year if made no later than the end of the 12-month period beginning on the day after the close of the Plan Year.

3.12.6 The determination and treatment of the Pre-Tax Contributions and Actual Deferral Percentage of any Participant must satisfy all requirements prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury, including, without limitation, record retention requirements.

 

-19-

---

3.12.7 The Administrator will limit the election and allocation of Pre-Tax Contributions in order to avoid the creation of Excess Contributions. If and to the extent necessary or desirable, the Administrator will recharacterize Excess Contributions as After-Tax Contributions, or will distribute Excess Contributions. Recharacterized Excess Contributions will be treated as required in Treasury Regulations Section 1.401(k)-1(f)(3). The Administrator will recharacterize Excess Contributions within two and one-half months after the close of the Plan Year in which they arose. A distribution of Excess Contributions will normally be made within the same time frame. At all events, a corrective distribution of Excess Contributions must be made within 12 months after the end of the Plan Year in which they arose, and will include income allocable the Excess Contributions for the Plan Year in which they arose. The method used to determine the income allocable to Excess Contributions that are distributed will not violate Code Section 401(a)(4), and will be applied consistently for all Participants and all corrective distributions for any Plan Year. Any distribution to a Participant of less than the entire amount of his or her Excess Contributions will be treated as a pro rata distribution of Excess Contributions and income. The Administrator may combine the correction methods described in this Section 3.12.7. The amount of Excess Contributions to be recharacterized or distributed to a Participant under this Section 3.13.7 will be reduced by any Excess Pre-Tax Contributions previously distributed to the Participant for his or her taxable year ending with or within the Plan Year. Similarly, the amount of Excess Pre-Tax Contributions to be distributed for a Participant’s taxable year will be reduced by the amount of any Excess Contributions previously distributed or recharacterized as to that Participant for the Plan Year beginning with or within the Participant’s taxable year.

 

3.13	Actual Contribution Percentage Test

3.13.1 The Average Actual Contribution Percentage for Eligible Participants who are Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year may not exceed the greater of:

 

(a)

the Average Actual Contribution Percentage for Eligible Participants who are Nonhighly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year multiplied by 1.25; and

 

(b)

the lesser of:

 

(i)

the Average Actual Contribution Percentage for Eligible Participants who are Nonhighly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year multiplied by two; and

 

(ii)

the Average Actual Contribution Percentage for Eligible Participants who are Nonhighly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year plus two percentage points.

3.13.2 The provisions of Code Section 401(m)(2) are incorporated by reference.

3.13.3 If this Plan satisfies the requirements of Code Section 401(a)(4), 401(k) and 410(b) only if aggregated with one or more other plans, or if one or more other plans satisfy the requirements of those Code sections only if aggregated with this Plan, then this Section 3.14 is applied by determining the Actual Contribution Percentage of Eligible Participants as if all the plans were a single plan.

 

-20-

---

3.13.4 The Administrator also may treat one or more plans as a single plan with the Plan, whether or not the aggregated plans must be aggregated to satisfy Code Sections 401(a)(4) and 410(b). However, those plans must then be treated as one plan under Code Sections 401(a)(4), 401(m) and 410(b). Plans may be aggregated under this Section 3.14.4 only if they have the same plan year.

3.13.5 An After-Tax Contribution is considered made for a Plan Year if it is deducted from the Participant’s Compensation during the Plan Year and transmitted to the Trustee within a reasonable period after that. A Company Contribution is considered made for a Plan Year if it is allocated to a Matched Participant’s Account as of a date within the Plan Year, is actually paid to the Trust no later than 12 months after the Plan Year, and is made on account of the Matched Participant’s Basic Contributions for the Plan Year. A Pre-Tax Contribution may be considered made under this Section 3.14 for a Plan Year if it is recharacterized for purposes of Section 3.13, and if it is includible in the gross income of the Participant as of a date during that Plan Year. A recharacterized Pre-Tax Contribution is includible in a Participant’s gross income as of the date it would have been paid to the Participant, had the Participant not elected to defer it into the Plan.

3.13.6 The determination and treatment of After-Tax and Company Contributions and the Actual Contribution Percentage of any Participant must satisfy all requirements prescribed by the Secretary of Treasury, including, without limitation, record retention requirements.

3.13.7 The Administrator will limit the making of After-Tax Contributions in order to avoid the creation of Excess Aggregate Contributions. If and to the extent necessary or desirable, the Administrator will forfeit any Excess Aggregate Contributions that were Company Contributions and that were not vested, and will distribute to the Participant who made them any Excess Aggregate Contributions that were After-Tax Contributions, and will distribute to the Matched Participant to whom they were allocated any Excess Aggregate Contributions that were Company Contributions and were vested. A distribution of Excess Aggregate Contributions will normally be made within two and one-half months after the close of the Plan Year in which they arose. At all events a corrective distribution of Excess Aggregate Contributions must be made no later than 12 months after the close of the Plan Year in which they arose, and will include income allocable to the Excess Aggregate Contributions for the Plan Year in which they arose. The method used to determine the income allocable to any Excess Aggregate Contributions that are distributed will not violate Code Section 401(a)(4), and will be applied consistently for all Participants and all corrective distributions for any Plan Year. Any distribution to a Participant of less than the entire amount of his or her Excess Aggregate Contributions will be treated as a pro rata distribution of Excess Aggregate Contributions and income. The Administrator may combine the correction methods described in this Section 3.14.7.

 

3.14	Multiple Use of Alternative Limitation

3.14.1 Multiple use of the alternative limitation occurs if all of the following conditions are satisfied.

 

(a)

The sum of the Average Actual Contribution Percentage for Eligible Participants who are Highly Compensated Employees and the Average Actual Deferral Percentage for Eligible Participants who are Highly Compensated Employees is greater than the Aggregate Limit for the preceding Plan Year.

 

-21-

---

(b)

The Average Actual Deferral Percentage for Eligible Participants who are Highly Compensated Employees exceeds the amount described in Section 3.13.1(a).

 

(c)

The Average Actual Contribution Percentage for Eligible Participants who are Highly Compensated Employees exceeds the amount descried in Section 3.14.1(a)

3.14.2 The Average Actual Deferral and Contribution Percentages for Eligible Participants who are Highly Compensated Employees will be determined for purposes of this Section 3.15 after corrective measures have been taken under Sections 3.13.7 and 3.14.7.

3.14.3 The Administrator will limit the making of After-Tax Contributions or, if that is not sufficient, the election and allocation of Pre-Tax Contributions, in order to avoid multiple use of the alternative limitation. If and to the extent necessary or desirable, the Administrator will eliminate multiple use of the alternative limitation by reducing the Average Actual Contribution Percentage of the Eligible Participants who are Highly Compensated Employees in the manner described in Section 3.10.7 above. The amount of the required reduction will be Excess Aggregate Contributions, and will be forfeited or distributed to Highly Compensated Employees as described in Section 3.14.7 above.

ARTICLE IV

Vesting

 

4.1	Vesting in After-Tax, Pre-Tax and Rollover Contributions Accounts

A Participant is always 100% vested in the balance of his or her After-Tax Contribution Account, Pre-Tax Contribution Account and Rollover Contribution Account.

 

4.2	Vesting in Company Contribution and Contingent Accounts

4.2.1 A Participant becomes vested in any balance of his or her Company Contribution Account and Contingent Account according to the following Schedule:

 

Years of Service		Percent Vested
Fewer than 2		0	%
2 but fewer than 3		20	%
3 but fewer than 4		40	%
4 but fewer than 5		60	%
5 or more		100	%

 

-22-

---

4.2.2 Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Participant will become 100% vested in the balance of his or her Company Contribution Account and Contingent Account if:

 

(a)

he or she reaches age 55 while employed by the Company or one of its Affiliates;

 

(b)

he or she separates from service due to Disability;

 

(c)

he or she dies while employed by the Company or one of its Affiliates;

 

(d)

he or she ceases to be an Employee because of the permanent shutdown of a single site of employment or of one or more facilities or operating unites within a single site of employment; or

 

(e)

he or she is employed by the Company or one of its Affiliates involved in a transaction and the Committee, in its discretion, fully vests the Participant in connection with the transaction.

4.2.3. If a Participant is hired by the Company or one of its Affiliates as a result of an acquisition, the Committee (or its delegate) may, in its discretion, give the Participant and all other Participants hired under the same circumstances as a result of the same acquisition credit for service with a prior employer for purposes of vesting.

 

4.3	Forfeitures

4.3.1 A Participant forfeits the non-vested portion of his or her Company Contribution and Contingent Accounts on the earlier of: (a) the date as of which he or she receives a distribution of his or her entire Company Contribution and Contingent Accounts and (b) the date his or her Period of Separation equals five years. The nonvested amount so forfeited is a ‘Forfeiture.’ If the Participant incurs a Forfeiture under clause (a) above and his or her Period of Separation is shorter than five years, the Forfeiture is restored, and the Period of Separation counts towards the Participant’s Years of Service, along with service before and after the Period of Separation, in determining the Participant’s Years of Service for purposes of Section 4.2. If the Period of Separation is five years or longer, the Forfeiture will not be restored, but the Period of Separation counts towards the Participant’s Years of Service, along with service before and after the Period of Separation, in determining the Participant’s Years of Service for purposes of Section 4.2. If a Participant begins a Period of Separation by way of a maternity or paternity leave, this Section 4.3.1 will be read by substituting the number ‘six’ for the number ‘five’ wherever the latter number appears. A ‘maternity or paternity leave’ is an absence from work because of the Participant’s pregnancy, the birth of a child to or placement of a child for adoption with the Participant, or the need to care for the Participant’s child immediately following its birth to or placement with the Participant.

4.3.2 Amounts that become Forfeitures during a month will be used to restore Forfeitures to rehired Participants as provided in Section 4.3.1. Any remaining Forfeitures during a month will be used to pay the administrative expenses of the Plan in the following order: Trustee’s fees, communications to Participants, nondiscrimination testing, qualified domestic relations order administration, enrollment fees, required minimum distribution fees, auditors’ fees, consulting and legal fees and other similar administrative expenses. Any remaining Forfeitures during a month will be used to reduce the Company’s obligation to make Company Contributions in that month or succeeding months. Any remaining Forfeitures during a month will be used to pay fees associated with Participant communications to Participants

involved in an acquisition or divestiture and Participant Account adjustments, as determined by the Committee or its delegate. While awaiting allocation, until such time as the Company applies Forfeitures to the purposes described above, they will be invested in a default fund selected by the Company.

ARTICLE V

Timing of Distributions to Participants

 

5.1	Separation from Service

Upon his or her separation from service with the Company and all Affiliates for any reason, a Participant will be entitled to receive the vested portion of his or her Account Balance, determined in accordance with the provisions of Article IV and the valuation rules established for each Investment Fund. The date as of which the Participant’s Account Balance is determined will be the Valuation Date preceding the date of distribution.

 

5.2	Start of Benefit Payments

5.2.1 Except as provided in Sections 5.2.2 and 5.2.3, unless a Participant otherwise elects, payment of benefits will begin no later than the 60th day after the close of the Plan Year in which the latest of the following events occurs:

 

(a)

the Participant’s 65th birthday;

 

(b)

the 10th anniversary of the year in which the Participant commenced participation; and

 

(c)

the Participant’s separation from service.

If the amount of benefits payable to or in respect of a Participant cannot be determined by the benefit commencement date described in the preceding sentence, or if the Administrator cannot locate the Participant (or, if the Participant has died, his or her Beneficiary) after making a reasonable effort to do so, benefit payments will begin no later than 60 days after the amount of the Participant’s benefits can first be determined or the Participant (or his or her Beneficiary) is located, in the amount necessary to bring the payments up to date, as if they had begun on the benefit commencement date described in the preceding sentence.

5.2.2 The Participant’s Account Balance will be distributed as soon as practicable after the Participant elects a distribution following the Participant’s separation from service. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at the time of his or her separation from service the Participant’s total Account Balance exceeds $5,000 the Participant may elect to defer distribution of his or her Account Balance until a date no later than his or her Required Beginning Date. A Participant will be deemed to have elected to defer payment of benefits from the Plan until the date the Participant requests a distribution from the Plan in a manner consistent with the uniform and nondiscriminatory rules established by the Administrator.

 

-24-

---

5.2.3 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, a Participant must begin to receive his or her benefit no later than his or her Required Beginning Date. The amount to be distributed each year will be the minimum amount required to satisfy Code Section 401(a)(9) and the regulations promulgated thereunder, determined with no recalculation of life expectancy. The Required Beginning Date of a Participant is April 1 of the calendar year following the later of the calendar year in which the Participant reaches age 70- ¹/2 or, retires. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 5.2.3, if a Participant is a five percent owner (as defined in Code Section 416) for the Plan Year ending in the calendar year in which he or she reaches age 70- ¹/2, his or her Required Beginning Date is April 1 of the following calendar year.

5.2.4 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, all Plan distributions will comply with Code Section 401(a)(9), including Department of Treasury Regulation Section 1.401(a)(9)-2. In addition, the benefit payments distributed to any Participant will satisfy the incidental death benefit provisions under Code Section 401(a)(9)(G) and the regulations promulgated under it.

5.2.5 If the Participant dies after beginning distribution of his or her Account Balance, the remainder of the Account Balance will be payable in accordance with Section 7.1. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Participant’s Account Balance must continue to be distributed at least as rapidly as under the method of distribution in effect before the Participant died.

5.2.6 If the Participant dies before beginning distribution of his or her Account Balance, the Participant’s Account Balance will be distributed as provided under Section 7.1, but distribution must be completed within five years after the Participant dies. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Participant’s Beneficiary may receive the Account Balance over his or her life or over a period not extending beyond his or her life expectancy, so long as distribution begins within one year after the Participant dies, or, if the Beneficiary is the Participant’s Surviving Spouse, by the date the Participant would have reached age 70- ¹/2. Furthermore, if the Participant’s Surviving Spouse is the Beneficiary and dies before distribution begins, the next Beneficiary to take may receive benefits over his or her life or a period not exceeding his or her life expectancy, so long as distribution begins by the date the Surviving Spouse would have reached age 70- ¹/2.

ARTICLE VI

Forms of Benefit, In-Service Withdrawals and Loans

 

6.1	Cashout of Small Amounts

Notwithstanding any other Plan provision, if a Participant’s Account Balance is not larger than $5,000 the Account Balance will be paid in one lump sum to the Participant as soon as practicable after the Participant’s separation from service, without his or her consent or the consent of his or her spouse.

 

-25-

---

6.2	Medium of Distribution

A Participant’s Account Balance will be distributed by check to the Participant or Beneficiary entitled to it (or to his or her designated agent). Alternatively, as to any amount invested in the Company Stock Fund and the FMC Stock Fund at the time of distribution, the Participant or, where applicable, his or her Beneficiary, may request a certificate representing the whole shares of Company Stock and/or FMC Stock held for him or her, and a check representing any fractional share. The Administrator will establish uniform and nondiscriminatory rules governing the timing, content and manner of elections under this Section 6.2.

 

6.3	Forms of Benefit

6.3.1 A Participant or Beneficiary may elect to have his or her Account Balance distributed in any of the forms described below.

 

(a)

Lump Sum: This form of benefit pays the entire Account Balance in one payment.

 

(b)

Installments for a Fixed Period: The Participant or Beneficiary may elect to receive annual, quarterly or monthly installments over a fixed period of 20 years or less.

 

(c)

Installments over Life Expectancy: The Participant or Beneficiary may elect to receive annual, quarterly or monthly installments over his or her life expectancy or over the joint life expectancy of the Participant and his or her Beneficiary.

6.3.2 If the Participant chooses to receive installments, the size of each installment will be calculated by dividing the Account Balance determined as of the date described in Section 5.1 by the total number of installments remaining to be paid.

6.3.3 The Administrator will establish uniform and nondiscriminatory rules governing the timing, content and manner of elections under this Section 6.3.

6.3.4 No installment election under this Plan will permit payments to be made over a period longer than the Participant’s life expectancy or the joint life expectancy of the Participant and his or her Beneficiary. A Participant may not elect any stream of installments providing payments to a Beneficiary who is other than his or her spouse, unless the amount distributed each year equals or exceeds the quotient obtained by dividing the Participant’s Account Balance by the divisor determined under Department of Treasury Regulation Section 1.401(a)(9)-2. Further, the amount of the periodic payment made to a Beneficiary cannot under any circumstances be larger than the amount of the periodic payment made to the Participant.

 

-26-

---

6.4	Change in Form, Timing or Medium of Benefit Payment

Any former Employee or former employee of FMC who is a Participant and who has chosen to defer payment of his or her Account Balance may request a change in the form, timing or medium in which his or her Account Balance will be paid, so long as the revised election conforms to Section 6.3. Once benefit payments have begun, no Participant may change the form, timing or medium of payment of his or her Account Balance.

 

6.5	Direct Rollover of Eligible Rollover Distributions

6.5.1 Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan, a Distributee may elect, at the time and in the manner prescribed below, to have any portion of an Eligible Rollover Distribution paid in a Direct Rollover to an Eligible Retirement Plan specified by the Distributee.

6.5.2 At least 30, but no more than 90, days before the Annuity Starting Date, the Administrator will furnish the Participant with a notice containing information regarding his or her right to take distribution directly or to elect a Direct Rollover, and some of the federal tax consequences of the alternative types of distribution. The notice must meet the requirements of Code Section 402(f). The Administrator will give the Participant an election period of at least 30 days to decide whether to elect a Direct Rollover. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the election period may end immediately after the Participant makes an affirmative election as to whether to receive the distribution directly or in the form of a Direct Rollover, so long as the Participant is properly informed of his or her right to a full 30-day election period, and waives the remainder of the election period.

 

6.6	In-service and Hardship Withdrawals

6.6.1 An active Participant who has reached age 59- ¹/2 may elect to withdraw all or any part of his or her Account. The Administrator will establish uniform and nondiscriminatory procedures for requesting, granting and processing in-service withdrawals under this Section 6.6.1, which may include telephonic or electronic procedures, as and to the extent permitted by applicable law or regulation.

6.6.2 An active Participant who has not reached age 59 ¹/2 may make a withdrawal of the following portions of the Participant’s Account Balance in the order listed below:

 

(a)

all or part of the After-Tax Contributions he or she made to the FMC Plans after March 31, 1986 and before January 1, 1987;

 

(b)

all earnings or appreciation attributable to After-Tax Contributions he or she made to the FMC Plans after March 31, 1986 and before January 1, 1987;

 

(c)

all or part of the After-Tax Contributions he or she made to the FMC Plans or to the Plan after December 31, 1986;

 

(d)

all or part of his or her After-Tax Contributions made to the FMC Plans before April 1, 1982, or, if less, the amount in the Participant’s After-Tax Contribution Account allocable to those contributions;

 

-27-

---

(e)

any amount remaining in the Participant’s After-Tax Contribution Account that is allocable to After-Tax Contributions made to the FMC Plans before April 1982;

 

(f)

all earnings or appreciation attributable to the After-Tax Contributions he or she made to the FMC Plans or to the Plan after December 31, 1986;

 

(g)

all the vested value of his or her Contingent Account;

 

(h)

all of the current value of vested Company Contributions and FMC contributions made as to After-Tax Contributions he or she made to the Plan or FMC Plans after December 31, 1986.

The Administrator will establish uniform and nondiscriminatory procedures for requesting, granting and processing in-service withdrawals under this Section 6.6.2, which may include electronic or telephonic procedures, as and to the extent permitted by applicable law or regulation.

6.6.3 An active Participant may make a hardship withdrawal from his or her Pre-Tax Contribution Account if he or she demonstrates to the Administrator that the withdrawal is necessary to satisfy the Participant’s immediate and heavy financial need. A hardship withdrawal cannot exceed the total Pre-Tax Contributions made to the Plan on behalf of the Participant by the date of the withdrawal, reduced by the amounts of any previous hardship or other in-service withdrawals. In addition, the minimum hardship withdrawal permitted is $500, or, if less, the total amount of Pre-Tax Contributions, made for the Participant, minus any previous hardship or in-service withdrawals.

 

(a)

A distribution is on account of an immediate and heavy financial need if it is for:

 

(1)

medical expenses as described in Code Section 213(d) incurred by the Participant, his spouse or dependents;

 

(2)

costs directly related to the purchase of a principal residence for the Participant (excluding mortgage payments);

 

(3)

tuition payments, or related education expenses, for the next 12 months of post-secondary education for the Participant or the Participant’s spouse or dependents;

 

(4)

payments necessary to prevent the Participant’s eviction from his or her principal residence, or foreclosure on the mortgage on the Participant’s residence;

 

(5)

expenses incurred for the funeral of a member of the Participant’s immediate family;

 

(6)

legal expenses incurred by the Participant in obtaining a divorce;

 

-28-

---

(7)

expenses incurred by the Participant in remedying an uninsured property loss;

 

(8)

expenses incurred by the Participant in adopting or attempting to adopt a child;

 

(9)

emergency expenses of the Participant in personal bankruptcy; or

 

(10)

other expenses deemed by the Administrator to constitute hardships justifying a hardship withdrawal, and formally adopted under rules of the Administrator as eligible for hardship withdrawal.

 

(b)

A withdrawal will be permitted only if the Participant certifies in writing to the Administrator that the “immediate and heavy financial need” cannot be met from other resources reasonably available to the Participant and the Participant further represents to the Administrator, in such manner and form as the Administrator may require, that the Participant’s immediate and heavy financial need cannot be relieved:

 

(1)

through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise;

 

(2)

by reasonable liquidation of the Participant’s assets, to the extent liquidation would not itself cause an immediate and heavy financial need;

 

(3)

by the Participant’s ceasing to have Pre-Tax Contributions made for him or her under the Plan; or

 

(4)

by other distributions from plans maintained by a Participating Employer or any other employer, or by borrowing from commercial sources on reasonable commercial terms.

If the Participating Employer or the Administrator knows that the representation required by the preceding sentence would not be true, the hardship withdrawal request will not be granted.

 

(c)

A hardship withdrawal under this Section 6.6.3 cannot exceed the amount required to relieve the financial need, including any amounts necessary to pay any federal, state, or local income taxes or penalties reasonably anticipated to result from the distribution.

6.6.4 The Administrator will establish uniform and nondiscriminatory procedures for requesting, granting and processing hardship withdrawals.

6.7

Loans

6.7.1 An active Participant may submit an application to the Administrator to borrow from his or her Account (on such uniform and nondiscriminatory terms and conditions as the Administrator shall prescribe) an amount, when added to the amount of any then outstanding loan, does not exceed the lesser of:

 

(a)

$50,000, reduced by the excess (if any) of the Participant’s highest outstanding Plan loan balance during the one-year period ending on the day before the loan is made over the Participant’s outstanding Plan loan balance on the day the loan is made; and

 

(b)

50% of the Participant’s Account as of the Valuation Date coincident with or immediately preceding the date the Administrator receives the application.

In calculating the Participant’s loan limit, all loans from qualified plans of the Company and all Affiliates will be aggregated.

6.7.2 Each loan granted under the Plan will meet the following requirements:

 

(a)

it must be evidenced by a negotiable promissory note;

 

(b)

the rate of interest payable on the unpaid balance of the loan will be reasonable;

 

(c)

the amount of the loan must be at least $1,000;

 

(d)

the loan, by its terms, must require repayment within five years;

 

(e)

the loan will be secured by the Participant’s interest in the Account Balance of his or her Account, but not to exceed 50% of such Account; and

 

(f)

the loan must be repaid through payroll deduction, or, if the loan has been outstanding for at least three months, the Participant may make one payment by check or money order of the full amount of principal and interest then outstanding.

6.7.3 If a Participant is granted a loan, a “Loan Account” will be established for the Participant. All Loan Accounts will be held by the Funding Agent, as part of the Trust Fund. The loan amount will be transferred from a Participant’s other Accounts according to uniform and nondiscriminatory ordering rules adopted by the Administrator, and will be disbursed from the Loan Account. Principal and interest payments of a loan will be credited initially to the Loan Account of the Participant, and will be transferred as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter to the other Accounts of the Participant according to uniform and nondiscriminatory ordering rules adopted by the Administrator. All fees and expenses incurred in connection with a loan obligation of a Participant will be borne solely by the Participant’s Account.

 

-30-

---

6.7.4 Loan repayments will be made through payroll withholding during a Participant’s employment. Each Participant who requests a loan consents to such payroll withholding for repayment of the loan. Upon termination of employment, a Participant may elect to continue to repay the loan under such uniform and nondiscriminatory rules as the Administrator has established. The Administrator will cease payroll reduction for loan repayments as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt of a court order to do so in the event of a Participant’s bankruptcy, and the loan will immediately be deemed to be in default. Any fees and expenses incurred in connection with a loan and loss caused by nonpayment or other default on a loan obligations will be borne solely by the Loan Account of the Participant. A default will constitute a taxable event to the Participant, necessitating certain reporting obligations on the Administrator’s part, and the note evidencing a loan in default will be executed upon and processed in accordance with the uniform and nondiscriminatory rules adopted by the Administrator. A Participant’s loan repayments will, at his or her request, be suspended during the time he or she is absent as a result of qualifying military service (as determined under USERRA), as permitted under Code Section 414(u)(4).

6.7.5 A Participant may not have more than two loans outstanding at any given time.

6.7.6 Upon termination of employment, a Participant who has an outstanding loan under the Plan must repay his or her loan in a lump sum or the loan will be in default. Notwithstanding the above, the Committee (or its delegate) may, in its sole discretion, allow terminated Participants to continue to repay loans under such uniform and nondiscriminatory rules as the Committee (or its delegate) determines.

ARTICLE VII

Death Benefits

 

7.1	Payment of Account Balance

7.1.1 Subject to the provisions of Section 5.2, if a Participant dies before payment of his or her Account Balance has begun, his or her Account Balance will be paid to the Participant’s Beneficiary in the form of benefit chosen by the Beneficiary under Sections 6.2 and 6.3. The Beneficiary of a Participant who is married on the date of his or her death will be the Participant’s Surviving Spouse, unless the Participant has designated another Beneficiary and the Surviving Spouse consented to the designation, both as provided in Section 7.3.

 

7.2	Failure to Name a Beneficiary

If a Participant fails to name a Beneficiary and dies before payment of his or her Account Balance begins, or if no designated Beneficiary survives the Participant, the Administrator will pay any amounts due after the Participant’s death to the Participant’s surviving spouse or, if there is no surviving spouse, to the Participant’s surviving children, in equal shares. If the Participant leaves behind no surviving spouse or children, the Administrator will pay any amounts then due to the Participant’s estate.

 

-31-

---

7.3	Waiver of Spousal Beneficiary Rights

7.3.1 A Participant may designate someone other than his or her Surviving Spouse as his or her primary Beneficiary only if the designation or election meets the requirements of this Section 7.3 outlined below.

7.3.2 The Administrator will provide each Participant with a written explanation of:

 

(a)

the right of the Participant to name someone other than his or her Surviving Spouse as a Beneficiary;

 

(b)

the right of the Participant’s spouse to be named as the primary Beneficiary for all of the Participant’s Account Balance and the effect of waiving that right; and

 

(c)

the Participant’s right to revoke a previous designation of someone other than the Surviving Spouse as a Beneficiary, and the effect of such a revocation.

7.3.3 A designation of someone other than the Surviving Spouse as a primary Beneficiary will be effective only if it is made in writing and consented to by the Participant’s spouse, with the spouse’s consent witnessed by a notary public or the Administrator. Any subsequent change of Beneficiary to an individual who is not the Participant’s Surviving Spouse must also be in writing and consented to by the Participant’s spouse, with the spouse’s consent witnessed by a notary public or the Administrator. Spousal consent is not necessary if the Participant establishes to the satisfaction of a Plan representative that the Participant does not have a spouse, or that the Participant’s spouse cannot be located. Spousal consent is also unnecessary if the Participant produces a court order to the effect that the Participant is legally separated from his or her spouse or has been abandoned by the spouse, within the meaning of the law of the Participant’s state of residence, unless a qualified domestic relations order requires otherwise. If the Participant’s spouse is legally incompetent to give consent, the spouse’s legal guardian may give the spouse’s consent, even if the legal guardian is the Participant. A spouse’s consent will be valid only as to that spouse, and an election deemed effective without the spouse’s consent will be valid only as to the spouse designated as to that election. A Participant may revoke a prior designation of someone other than the Surviving Spouse as a primary Beneficiary without the consent of his or her spouse, and may revoke such a designation an unlimited number of times.

7.3.4 A Participant’s former spouse will be treated as the spouse or Surviving Spouse only to the extent provided under a qualified domestic relations order as described in Code Section 414(p).

ARTICLE VIII

Special Forms of Benefit and Death Benefit Terms for Certain Participants Prior to 2002

 

8.1	Applicability

For periods prior to January 1, 2002, the provisions of this Article VIII apply, instead of Sections 6.3, 6.4, 7.1, 7.2 and 7.3, to the entire Account Balance of each Participant who was: (a) a participant in the FMC Corporation Savings and Investment 401(k) Plan for Bargaining

 

-32-

---

Unit Employees (“FMC Unmatched Plan”) immediately before his or her collective bargaining unit became covered under the FMC Corporation Savings and Investment (“FMC Matched Plan”) Plan, and whose account balance in the FMC Unmatched Plan was transferred to the FMC Matched Plan; or (b) transferred to FMC as part of its acquisition from Stein, Inc. or Frigoscandia Equipment Holding AB. Sections 6.1, 6.2, 6.5, 6.6 and 6.7 continue to apply to the Account Balances of Participants described in the preceding sentence, but this Article VIII does not apply to any other Participant.

 

8.2	Forms of Benefit for Certain Transferred Participants

8.2.1 The normal form of benefit for a Participant to whom this Article VIII applies is the 50% Joint and Survivor-Ten Year Certain Annuity with the Participant’s spouse as the Beneficiary, if the Participant is married on the Annuity Starting Date. If the Participant is not married on the Annuity Starting Date, the normal form of benefit is the Life and Ten Year Certain Annuity. If the Participant fails to make an election under Section 8.4, his or her Account Balance will be paid in the normal form of benefit. A Participant covered by this Article VIII who is married on the Annuity Starting Date may elect a benefit other than the normal form of benefit only if his or her spouse consents to the election within the time frame and in the manner required by Section 8.4.

8.2.2 Subject to Sections 8.2.1 and 8.4, and except as otherwise provided herein, a Participant covered by this Article VIII may elect to have his or her benefit under this Plan paid in the form of a lump sum distribution or a fixed dollar annuity purchased on his or her behalf. A Plan annuity is a fixed dollar annuity if it provides a stream of monthly payments that do not vary in amount.

8.2.3 If a Participant to whom this Article VIII applies elects to have a fixed dollar annuity purchased on his or her behalf, he or she may select any of forms of annuity described in this Section 8.2.3.

 

(a)

Life and Ten Year Certain Annuity: This form of annuity pays the Participant a fixed amount each month beginning with the month in which the Annuity Starting Date occurs and ending when the Participant dies. If the Participant dies before 120 monthly payments have been made, payments will continue to the Participant’s Beneficiary until 120 monthly payments have been made to the Participant and Beneficiary under the annuity.

 

(b)

Joint and Survivor-Ten Year Certain Annuity: This form of annuity pays the Participant a fixed amount each month beginning with the month in which the Annuity Starting Date occurs and ending when the Participant dies. If the Participant’s Beneficiary survives the Participant, payments will continue to the Participant’s primary Beneficiary until the Beneficiary dies. If the Participant and Beneficiary both die before 120 monthly payments have been made to the Participant and Beneficiary under the annuity, payments will continue to the Participant’s contingent Beneficiary until 120 monthly payments in all have been made under the annuity. The monthly payment payable to the primary or contingent Beneficiary before 120 payments have been made under the annuity

 

-33-

---

equals the monthly payment made during the Participant’s lifetime. The monthly payment payable to the primary Beneficiary after 120 payments have been made under the annuity equals 100% or 50% of the monthly payment made during the Participant’s lifetime, as specified in the Participant’s election. Both the primary and contingent Beneficiaries must be named at the time this annuity is elected.

 

(c)

Period Certain Annuity: This form of annuity pays the Participant a fixed amount each month beginning with the month in which the Annuity Starting Date occurs and ending when the specified number of monthly payments have been made to the Participant and, if he or she dies before receiving the specified number of payments, to the Participant’s Beneficiary. The Participant may specify 60, 120 or 180 monthly payments. The Participant specifies the number of monthly payments and names his or her Beneficiary at the time he or she elects the annuity.

 

(d)

Other: This form of payment includes any other alternative form of distribution, including installment distributions, provided for by the Funding Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Participant may not elect any form of distribution providing only for the payment of interest or income earned on his or her Accounts.

8.2.4 An annuity under this Plan must provide that payments will be made over a period no longer than the life of the Participant, the lives of the Participant and his or her Beneficiary, the Participant’s life expectancy or the life expectancy of the Participant and his or her Beneficiary. A Participant to whom this Article VIII applies may not elect any form of annuity providing monthly payments to a Beneficiary who is other than his or her spouse, unless the amount distributed each year equals or exceeds the quotient obtained by dividing the Participant’s Account Balances by the divisor determined under Department of Treasury Regulation Section 1.401(a)(9)-2. Further, the amount of the monthly payment made to a Beneficiary cannot under any circumstances be larger than the amount of the monthly payment made to the Participant.

 

8.3	Change in Form, Timing or Medium of Benefit Payment for Certain Transferred Participants

Any former Employee or former employee of FMC who is a Participant to whom this Article VIII applies and who has chosen to defer payment of his or her Account Balance may request a change in the form, timing or medium in which his or her Account Balances will be paid, so long as the revised election conforms to Sections 8.2 through 8.4. Once payments have begun, no Participant may change the form, timing or medium of payment of his or her Account Balance.

 

8.4	Waiver of Normal Form of Benefit for Certain Transferred Participants

8.4.1 The Account Balance of a Participant to whom this Article VIII applies will be distributed in the normal form of benefit, regardless of what form of benefit the Participant chooses, unless the Participant makes an effective waiver under this Section 8.4 and, if the

 

-34-

---

Participant is married on the Annuity Starting Date, unless the Participant’s spouse consents to the Participant’s choice of another form of benefit in the manner described in this Section 8.4. No sooner than 30, and no more than 90, days before the Annuity Starting Date, the Administrator will provide the Participant with a written explanation of:

 

(a)

the terms and conditions of the normal form of benefit;

 

(b)

the Participant’s right to waive the normal form of benefit and the effect of waiving the normal form of benefit;

 

(c)

the right of the Participant’s spouse to consent or withhold his or her consent to the Participant’s choice of another form of benefit; and

 

(d)

the Participant’s right to revoke a waiver of the normal form of benefit, and the effect of revoking the waiver.

A Participant may revoke his or her waiver of the normal form of benefit at any time before the payment begins, without his or her spouse’s consent. For purposes of the previous sentence, if the Participant’s Account Balance is to be paid in the form of an annuity, payment will be deemed to begin when the annuity has been purchased.

8.4.2 A Participant’s waiver of the normal form of benefit will be effective only if:

 

(a)

the Participant’s spouse consents in writing to the waiver;

 

(b)

the waiver includes an election of a form of benefit that cannot be changed without the spouse’s consent, or the spouse’s consent specifically permits the Participant to make other elections of forms of benefit;

 

(c)

the spouse’s consent acknowledges the effect of the waiver; and

 

(d)

the spouse’s consent is witnessed by a notary public or the Administrator.

Spousal consent to the Participant’s waiver of the normal form of benefit is not necessary if the Participant establishes to the satisfaction of a Plan representative that the Participant does not have a spouse, or that the Participant’s spouse cannot be located. Spousal consent is also unnecessary if the Participant produces a court order to the effect that the Participant is legally separated from his or her spouse or has been abandoned by the spouse, within the meaning of the law of the Participant’s state of residence, unless a qualified domestic relations order requires otherwise. If the Participant’s spouse is legally incompetent to give consent, the spouse’s legal guardian may give the spouse’s consent, even if the legal guardian is the Participant. A spouse’s consent will be valid only as to that spouse, and an election deemed effective without the spouse’s consent will be valid only as to the spouse designated as to that election.

8.4.3 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the first payment of the Participant’s Account Balance may be made as early as seven days after the Participant makes an affirmative election to receive his or her Account Balance in a particular form of payment, even if that means the Participant has fewer than 30 days to decide on a form of payment, if the Annuity Starting Date

 

-35-

---

is after the date of the Participant’s affirmative election and, if the Participant is married on the Annuity Starting Date, the Participant’s spouse consents to the form of payment in the manner required by Section 8.4.2.

8.4.4 If the Administrator believes that any spouse might, under the law of any jurisdiction, have any interest in any benefit that might become payable to a Participant, the Administrator may, as a condition precedent to the Participant’s making any distribution or withdrawal election, require a written release or releases, or other documents that it believes are necessary, desirable, or appropriate to prevent or avoid any conflict or multiplicity of claims regarding payment of any Plan benefits.

 

8.5	Payment of Account Balances of Certain Transferred Participants Who Die Before Payment Begins

8.5.1 If a Participant to whom this Article VIII applies dies before payment of his or her Account Balance has begun, 50% of the Participant’s Account Balance will be paid to his or her Surviving Spouse in the form of a life annuity, and the remainder will be paid to his or her Surviving Spouse in the form of a lump sum within 90 days after the Administrator receives notice of the Participant’s death. If the Participant has no Surviving Spouse, the Participant’s Account Balance will be paid to his or her Beneficiary in the form of a lump sum within 90 days after the Administrator receives notice of the Participant’s death.

8.5.2 The Participant may choose a form of benefit other than the life annuity for the 50% of his or her Account Balance that will be paid to the Surviving Spouse, so long as the Participant’s election meets the requirements of Section 8.7 and his or her Spouse consents in the time and manner required by Section 8.7. The Participant may also designate a Beneficiary other than his or her Surviving Spouse as the primary Beneficiary to receive some or all of his or her Account Balance, so long as the Surviving Spouse consents to the designation in the time and manner required by Section 8.7.

8.5.3 Unless the Participant has chosen a form of benefit for his or her Beneficiary or Surviving Spouse, the Beneficiary or Surviving Spouse may choose to have any amounts payable to him or her paid in any of the forms of benefit described under Section 8.2 other than the Joint and Survivor-Ten Year Certain Annuity. Payments to a Surviving Spouse must begin no later than the April 1 following the year in which the Participant would have reached age 70- ¹ /2, and payments to a Beneficiary who is not the Surviving Spouse must begin no later than one year after the Participant’s death. Amounts payable to a Beneficiary or Surviving Spouse must be made within five years after the Participant’s death, or over a period not exceeding the life or life expectancy of the Surviving Spouse. A Participant’s Surviving Spouse who chooses to waive his or her right to receive 50% of the Participant’s Account Balances in the form of a life annuity must waive the right in the time and manner described in Section 8.7.

8.5.4 Notwithstanding Section 8.5.3 above, if at the time the Participant dies his or her Account Balance does not exceed $5,000 the Account will be distributed in the form of a single sum payment. In addition, if more than one Beneficiary is concurrently entitled to receive annuity payments, or if the monthly annuity payment to any Beneficiary would be less than $50 (or another amount established from time to time by the Administrator), the Administrator may choose to pay the value of the annuity in a single sum, so long as the single sum would not exceed the dollar limit of the previous sentence.

8.6	Failure to Name a Beneficiary for Certain Transferred Participants

If a Participant to whom this Article VIII applies fails to name a Beneficiary and dies before payment of his or her Account Balance begins, or if no designated Beneficiary survives the Participant, the Administrator will pay any amounts due after the Participant’s death to the Participant’s Surviving Spouse or, if there is no Surviving Spouse, to the Participant’s surviving children in equal shares. If the Participant leaves behind no Surviving Spouse or surviving children, the Administrator will pay any amounts then due to the Participant’s estate.

 

8.7	Waiver of Preretirement Survivor Annuity for Certain Transferred Participants

8.7.1 A Participant to whom this Article VIII applies may designate someone other than his or her Surviving Spouse as a primary Beneficiary to receive any portion of his or her Account Balance payable after his or her death, or the Participant or his or her Surviving Spouse may choose a form of benefit other than the life annuity for the 50% of the Account Balances that will automatically be paid to the Surviving Spouse as a life annuity only if the designation or election meets the requirements of this Section 8.7 outlined below.

8.7.2 The Administrator will provide each Participant with a written explanation of:

 

(a)

the 50% preretirement life annuity payable to the Participant’s Surviving Spouse;

 

(b)

the Participant’s right to waive that annuity and the effect of such a waiver;

 

(c)

the right of the Participant’s spouse to the 50% preretirement life annuity and the effect of waiving that right; and

 

(d)

the Participant’s right to revoke a previous waiver and the effect of such a revocation;

 

(e)

the right of the Participant to name someone other than his or her Surviving Spouse as a Beneficiary;

 

(f)

the right of the Participant’s spouse to be named as the primary Beneficiary for all of the Participant’s Account Balance and the effect of waiving that right; and

 

(g)

the Participant’s right to revoke a previous designation of someone other than the Surviving Spouse as a Beneficiary, and the effect of such a revocation.

The Administrator will provide the above explanation to the Participant during the period that begins on the first day of the Plan Year in which the Participant reaches age 32 and ends on the last day of the Plan Year in which the Participant reaches age 34. If a Participant first becomes a Participant after the start of that period, the Administrator will provide the explanation no later than the end of the second Plan Year after the Participant first becomes a Participant.

 

-37-

---

8.7.3 A designation of someone other than the Surviving Spouse as a primary Beneficiary, or the election of a form of benefit other than the 50% preretirement life annuity will be effective only if it is made in writing and consented to by the Participant’s spouse, with the spouse’s consent witnessed by a notary public or the Administrator. Moreover, the election must be made during the period that begins on the first day of the Plan Year in which the Participant reaches age 35 (or, if earlier, the date the Participant separates from service) and ends on the date of the Participant’s death. Any subsequent change of Beneficiary to an individual who is not the Participant’s Surviving Spouse must also be in writing and consented to by the Participant’s spouse, with the spouse’s consent witnessed by a notary public or the Administrator. Spousal consent is not necessary if the Participant establishes to the satisfaction of a Plan representative that the Participant does not have a spouse, or that the Participant’s spouse cannot be located. Spousal consent is also unnecessary if the Participant produces a court order to the effect that the Participant is legally separated from his or her spouse or has been abandoned by the spouse, within the meaning of the law of the Participant’s state of residence, unless a qualified domestic relations order requires otherwise. If the Participant’s spouse is legally incompetent to give consent, the spouse’s legal guardian may give the spouse’s consent, even if the legal guardian is the Participant. A spouse’s consent will be valid only as to that spouse, and an election deemed effective without the spouse’s consent will be valid only as to the spouse designated as to that election. A Participant may revoke a prior waiver of the 50% preretirement life annuity or a prior designation of someone other than the Surviving Spouse as a primary Beneficiary without the consent of his or her spouse, and may revoke such a waiver or designation an unlimited number of times.

8.7.4 A Participant’s former spouse will be treated as the spouse or Surviving Spouse only to the extent provided under a qualified domestic relations order as described in Code Section 414(p).

10.3.1 The Administrator or, as delegated by the Administrator, the Committee, may establish such different Investment Funds as it from time to time determines to be necessary or advisable for the investment of Participants’ Accounts, including Investment Funds pursuant to which Accounts can be invested in “qualifying employer securities,” as defined in Part 4 of Title I of ERISA. Each Investment Fund will have the investment objective or objectives established by the Administrator or Committee. Except to the extent investment responsibility is expressly reserved in another person, the Administrator or the Committee, in its sole discretion, will determine what percentage of the Plan assets is to be invested in qualifying employer securities. The percentage designated by the Administrator can exceed ten percent of the Plan’s assets, up to a maximum of all of the Plan’s assets.

10.3.2 Except as provided in Section 10.3.3, the Administrator or, as delegated by the Administrator, the Committee, may in its sole discretion permit Participants to determine the portion of their Accounts that will be invested in each Investment Fund. The frequency with which a Participant may change his or her investment election concerning future Pre-Tax Contributions or his or her existing Account will be governed by uniform and nondiscriminatory rules established by the Administrator or the Committee. To the extent permitted under ERISA, the Plan is intended to comply with and be governed by Section 404(c) of ERISA.

A Participant’s Accounts will be revalued at fair market value on each Valuation Date. On each Valuation Date, the earnings and losses of the Trust will be allocated to each Participant’s Account in the ratio that his or her total Account Balance bears to all Account Balances.

The Administrator or the Committee may appoint one or more insurance companies as Funding Agents, and may purchase insurance contracts, annuity contracts or policies from one or more insurance companies with Plan assets.

10.7	Delegation of Responsibility

The Administrator and the Committee may designate by written instrument one or more actuaries, accountants or consultants as fiduciaries to carry out, where appropriate, their administrative responsibilities, including their fiduciary duties. The Committee may from time to time allocate or delegate to any subcommittee, member of the Committee and others, not necessarily employees of the Company, any of its duties relative to compliance with ERISA, administration of the Plan and other related matters, including those involving the exercise of discretion. The Company’s duties and responsibilities under the Plan will be carried out by its directors, officers and employees, acting on behalf of and in the name of the Company in their capacities as directors, officers and employees, and not as individual fiduciaries. No director, officer or employee of the Company will be a fiduciary with respect to the Plan unless he or she is specifically so designated and expressly accepts such designation.

 

10.8	Committee Members

The Committee will consist of at least three people, who need not be directors, and will be appointed by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Any Committee member may resign and the Chief Executive Officer may remove any Committee member, with or without cause, at any time. A majority of the members of the Committee will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, and the act of a majority of the Committee members at a meeting at which a quorum is present will be an act of the Committee. The Committee can act by written consent signed by all of its members. Any member of the Committee who is an Employee cannot receive compensation for his or her services for the Committee. No Committee member will be entitled to act on or decide any matter relating solely to his or her status as a Participant.

ARTICLE XI

12.1	Plan Amendment or Termination

The Company may amend, modify or terminate this Plan at any time by resolution of its Board or by resolution of or other action recorded in the minutes of the Administrator or the Committee.

(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)

ARTICLE XIII

Miscellaneous Provisions

 

13.1	Subsequent Changes

All benefits to which any Participant, Surviving Spouse or Beneficiary may be entitled under this Plan will be determined under the Plan as in effect when the Participant ceases to be an Eligible Employee, and will not be affected by any subsequent change in the provisions of the Plan, unless either the Participant again becomes an Eligible Employee or the subsequent change expressly applies to the Participant.

 

13.2	Merger or Transfer of Assets

13.2.1 Neither the merger or consolidation of a Participating Employer with any other person, nor the transfer of the assets of a Participating Employer to any other person, nor the merger of the Plan with any other plan will constitute a termination of the Plan.

13.2.2 The Plan may not merge or consolidate with, or transfer any assets or liabilities to, any other plan, unless each Participant would (if the Plan then terminated) receive a benefit immediately after the merger, consolidation or transfer which is equal to or greater than the benefit he or she would have been entitled to receive immediately before the merger, consolidation or transfer (if the Plan had then terminated).

 

13.3	Benefits Not Assignable

13.3.1 A Participant’s Account Balance may not be assigned or alienated either voluntarily or involuntarily.

13.3.2 Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Participant may pledge his or her Pre-Tax Account as security for a loan under Section 6.7.

13.3.3 The prohibition of Section 13.3.1 will not apply to any offset of a Participant’s Account Balance 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 of this Section 13.3.3. The requirement to pay must arise 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. In

 

-44-

---

addition, the 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 Account Balance.

 

13.4	Exclusive Benefit of Participants

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, no part of the Trust Fund must ever be used for, or diverted to, any purpose other than the exclusive providing benefits to Participants and their Beneficiaries and defraying the reasonable expenses of the Plan, except that, upon the direction of the Administrator:

 

(a)

any contribution made by a Participating Employer by a mistake of fact will be returned within one year after payment of the contribution;

 

(b)

any contribution made by a Participating Employer that was conditioned upon its deductibility shall be returned to the extent disallowed as a deduction under Code Section 404 within one year after the deduction is disallowed; and

 

(c)

any contribution that was initially conditioned on the Plan’s satisfying the requirements of Code Section 401(a) will be returned to the Participating Employer who made it, if the Plan is initially determined not to satisfy the requirements of Code Section 401(a).

Any amount a Participating Employer seeks to recover under paragraph (a) or (b) will be reduced by the amount of any losses attributable to it, but will not be increased by the amount of any earnings attributable to it.

 

13.5	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 their responsibilities to the Participant, Surviving Spouse or Beneficiary entitled to a payment by making payment under the preceding sentence.

 

13.6	Plan Not A Contract of Employment

The Plan is not a contract of Employment, and the terms of Employment of any Employee will not be affected in any way by the Plan or any related instruments, except as specifically provided in the Plan or related instruments.

13.7	Source of Benefits

Plan benefits will be paid or provided for solely from the Trust or applicable insurance or annuity contracts, and the Participating Employers assume no liability for Plan benefits.

 

13.8	Proof of Age and Marriage

Participants and Beneficiaries must furnish proof of age and marital status satisfactory to the Administrator or Committee when and if the Administrator or Committee reasonably requests it. The Administrator or Committee may delay the payment of any benefits under the Plan until all pertinent information regarding age and marital status has been presented to it, and then, if appropriate, make payment retroactively.

 

13.9	Controlling Law

The Plan is intended to qualify under Code Section 401(a) and to comply with ERISA, and its terms will be interpreted accordingly. If any Plan provision is subject to more than one construction, the ambiguity will be resolved in favor of the interpretation or construction consistent with that intent. Similarly, if there is a conflict between any Plan provisions, or between any Plan provision and any Plan administrative form submitted to the Administrator, the Plan provisions necessary to retain qualified status under Code Section 401(a) will govern. Otherwise, to the extent not preempted by ERISA or as expressly provided herein, the laws of the State of Delaware (other than its conflict of laws provisions) will control the interpretation and performance of the Plan.

 

13.10

Income Tax Withholding

The Administrator or Committee may direct that any amounts necessary to comply with applicable employment tax law be withheld from any payment due under this Plan.

13.11  Claims Procedure

13.11.1 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.

13.11.3 The Company shall appoint a “Review Panel,” which shall consist of three or more individuals who may (but need not) be employees of the Company. The Review Panel shall be the named fiduciary that has the authority to act with respect to any appeal from a denial of benefits under the Plan, and shall hold meetings at least quarterly, as needed.

13.11.4 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. The Company shall give the applicant or such representative an opportunity to review, by written request, pertinent materials (other than legally privileged documents) in preparing such request for review. The request for review shall be in writing and addressed as follows: “Review Panel of the Employee Welfare Benefits Plan Committee, 200 East Randolph Drive, Chicago, Illinois 60601.” The request for review shall set forth all of the grounds on which it is based, all facts in support of the request and any other matters which the applicant deems pertinent. The Review Panel may require the applicant to submit such additional facts, documents or other material as it may deem necessary or appropriate in making its review.

13.11.5 The Review Panel shall act upon each request for review within 60 days after receipt thereof.

The Review Panel shall give notice of its decision to the Company and to the applicant in writing. 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.

13.11.6 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 13.11.

13.11.7 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 13.10.1, (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 13.10.4 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 13.11.5. A claimant may not bring an action for benefits in accordance with this Section 13.11.7 later than 90 days after the Review Panel denies the claimant’s application for benefits.

13.12

Participation in the Plan by An Affiliate

13.12.1 With the consent of the Board or an authorized delegate of the Board, any Affiliate, by appropriate action of its board of directors, a general partner or the sole proprietor, as the case may be, may adopt the Plan. Each Affiliate will determine the classes of its Employees that will be Eligible Employees and the amount of its contribution to the Plan on behalf of its Eligible Employees.

13.12.2 With the consent of the Board or an authorized delegate of the Board, a Participating Employer, by appropriate action, may terminate its participation in the Plan.

13.12.3 With the consent of the Board or an authorized delegate of the Board, a Participating Employer, by appropriate action, may withdraw from the Plan and the Trust. A Participating Employer’s withdrawal will be deemed to be an adoption by that Participating Employer of a plan and trust identical to the Plan and the Trust, except that all references to the Company will be deemed to refer to that Participating Employer. At such time and in such manner as the Administrator directs, the assets of the Trust allocable to Employees of the Participating Employer will be transferred to the trust deemed adopted by the Participating Employer.

13.12.4 A Participating Employer will have no power with respect to the Plan except as specifically provided herein.

 

13.13

Action by Participating Employers

Any action required to be taken by the Company pursuant to any Plan provisions will be evidenced in the manner set forth in Section 12.1. Any action required to be taken by a Participating Employer will be evidenced by a resolution of the Participating Employer’s board of directors or an authorized delegate of that board. Participating Employer action may also be evidenced by a written instrument executed by any person or persons authorized to take the action by the Participating Employer’s board of directors, any authorized delegate of that board, or the stockholders. A copy of any written instrument evidencing the action by the Company or Participating Employer must be delivered to the secretary or assistant secretary of the Company or Participating Employer.

 

13.14

Dividends

Any dividends credited to a group annuity contract between the Participating Employer and the Funding Agent will be used to provide additional benefits under the Plan.

ARTICLE XIV

Top Heavy Provisions

 

14.1	Top Heavy Definitions

For purposes of this Article XIV and any amendments to it, the terms listed in this Section 14.1 have the meanings ascribed to them below.

 

-48-

---

14.1.1 Aggregate Employer Contributions means the sum of all Company Contributions and Forfeitures allocated under this Plan for a Matched Participant, and all employer contributions and forfeitures allocated for the Matched Participant to all Related Defined Contributions in the Aggregation group.

14.1.2 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.

14.1.3 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.

14.1.4 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 four preceding Plan Years, is:

 

(a)

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 ten 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 five percent owner of the Company or an Affiliate; or

 

(d)

a one percent owner of the Company or an Affiliate with annual Compensation from the Company and all Affiliates of more than $150,000.

For purposes of determining who is a Key Employee, the Plan’s definition of 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.

14.1.5 Mandatory Aggregation Group means each plan (considering the Plan and Related Plans) that, during the Plan Year that contains the Determination Date or any of the four preceding Plan Years:

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

14.1.7 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).

14.1.8 Present Value of Accrued Benefits means, for any Plan Year, an amount equal to the sum of (a), (b) and (c) for each person who, in the Plan Year containing the Determination Date, was a Key Employee or a Non-key Employee.

 

(a)

The value of a person’s full Account Balance under the Plan, plus his or her total account balances under each Related Defined Contribution Plan in the Aggregation Group, determined as of the valuation date coincident with or immediately preceding the Determination Date, adjust for contributions due as of the Determination Date, as follows:

 

(i)

in the case of a plan not subject to the minimum funding requirements of Code Section 412, by including the amount of any contributions actually made after the valuation but on or before the Determination Date and, in the first plan year of a plan, by including contributions made after the Determination Date that are allocated as of a date in the first plan year; and

 

(ii)

in the case of a plan that is subject to the minimum funding requirements of Code Section 412, by including the amount of any contributions that would be allocated as of a date no later than the Determination Date, plus adjustments to those amounts required under applicable rulings, even though those amounts are not yet required to be contributed or allocated (e.g., because they have been waived) and by including the amount of any contributions actually made (or due to be made) after the valuation date but before the expiration of the extended payment period in Code Section 412(c)(10).

 

(b)

The sum of the actuarial present value of a person’s accrued benefits under each Related Defined Benefit Plan in the Aggregation Group, determined for any person who is employed by a Participating Employer on a Determination Date, expressed as a benefit commencing at normal retirement date (or, if later, the person’s attained age). The present value of an accrued benefit under a Related Defined Benefit Plan is determined as of the most recent valuation date that is within the 12-month period ending on the Determination Date.

14.1.9 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.

14.1.10 A Super 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 90% 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.

14.1.11 Super Top Heavy Plan means the Plan when it is described in the second sentence of Section 14.2.

14.1.12 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.

14.1.13 Top Heavy Plan means the Plan when it is described in the first sentence of Section 14.2.

 

14.2	Determination of Top Heavy Status

This Plan is a Top Heavy Plan in any Plan Year in which it is a member of a Top Heavy Aggregation Group, including a Top Heavy Aggregation Group that includes only the Plan. The Plan is a Super Top Heavy Plan in any Plan Year in which it is a member of a Super Top Heavy Aggregation Group, including a Super Top Heavy Aggregation Group that includes only the Plan.

 

14.3	Minimum Allocation for Top Heavy Plan

14.3.1 For any Plan Year that the Plan is a Top Heavy Plan, the sum of the Company Contributions and Forfeitures allocated to the Accounts of each Matched Participant who is a Non-key Employee will be at least three percent of the Matched Participant’s Compensation. However, if the sum of the Company contributions and Forfeitures allocated to the Accounts of each Matched Participant who is a Key Employee for the Plan Year is less than three percent of his or her Compensation and this Plan is not required to be included in an Aggregation Group to enable a defined benefit plan to meet the requirements of Code Section 401(a)(4) or 410(b), the

 

-51-

---

sum of the Company Contributions and Forfeitures allocated to the Accounts of each Matched Participant who is a Non-key Employee for the Plan Year will be equal to the largest percentage of Compensation allocated to the Accounts of any Matched Participant who is a Key Employee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no minimum allocation will be required for any Non-key Employee who participates in another defined contribution plan subject to Code Section 412 and included with this Plan in a Mandatory Aggregation Group.

14.3.2 For any Plan Year when the Plan is a Top Heavy Plan but not a Super Top Heavy Plan and a Key Employee is a participant in both this Plan and a defined benefit plan included in a Mandatory Aggregation Group that is top heavy, the extra minimum allocation will be provided only in this Plan, and by substituting four percent for three percent, where the latter percentage appears in Section 14.3.1.

14.3.3 For any Plan Year that the Plan is a Top Heavy Plan, the minimum allocations set forth in this Section 14.3 will be allocated to the Accounts of all Non-key Employees who are Matched Participants and who are employed by the Company on the last day of the Plan Year, regardless of their service during the Plan Year, and whether or not they have made contributions of their own to the Plan.

14.3.4 In lieu of the above, if a Non-key Employee participates in this Plan and a Related Defined Benefit Plan included with this Plan in a Mandatory Aggregation Group that is a Top Heavy Aggregation Group, a minimum allocation of five percent of Compensation will be provided under this Plan. However, for any Plan Year when the Plan is a Top Heavy Plan but not a Super Top Heavy Plan and a Key Employee is a participant in both this Plan and a Related Defined Benefit Plan included with this Plan in a Mandatory Aggregation Group, seven and one-half percent will be substituted for five percent where the latter percentage appears in this Section 14.3.4, and the extra minimum allocation will be provided only in this Plan.
