When you retire, or at certain other times as described in this SPD, you will be entitled to receive the value of the amounts which have accumulated in your account in the form of Company Stock. This Article describes the types of contributions that may be made to the Plan and how these monies will be allocated to your account to provide for your retirement benefit. You are not taxed on the amounts we contribute to the Plan on your behalf generally until you withdraw those amounts from the Plan. How much will the Employer contribute to the Plan? On December 30, 2010, the Plan was frozen by amendment. Accordingly, notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, effective for Plan Years beginning after December 31, 2010, no further contributions will be made to the Plan. To have shared in an employer contribution to the Plan, you must have completed a Year of Service during the Plan Year, and have been actively employed on the last day of the Plan Year for which the contribution was made. A Year of Service for purposes of sharing in our contributions occurs if you are credited with at least 1000 Hours of Service during a Plan Year.

In such cases, you will be eligible to share in the contributions in accordance with the following: If the reason your employment terminated is due to your Retirement (Normal or Late), Total and Permanent Disability or death, then you will be eligible to share in the contribution for the year without regard to whether you satisfied the requirements explained above. How will the Employer contributions be allocated to my account? Our discretionary contribution will be “allocated” or divided among participants eligible to share in the contribution for the Plan Year. (See the question in this Article “How much will the Employer contribute to the Plan?” to determine if you are eligible.) Your share of the contribution will depend upon how much compensation you received during the year and the compensation received by other eligible participants. Your share of our discretionary contribution is determined by the following fraction: Employer’s Your Compensation Discretionary Contribution X Total compensation of all Participants Eligible to Share For example: Suppose our discretionary contribution for the Plan Year was $20,000. Employee A’s compensation for the Plan Year was $25,000. The total compensation of all participants eligible to share, including Employee A, is $250,000. Employee A’s share would have been:
