limitations of this Subsection (a), and
(bb) the limitation determined under
Subclause (3)a.(I)(i) of this
Subsection(a). For this purpose, the
adjusted immediately commencing
straight life annuity under the Plan at the
Member's Annuity Starting Date is the
annual amount of such annuity payable
to the Member, co'mputed disregarding
the Member's accruals after age 65 but
including actuarial adjustments even if
those actuarial adjustments are used to
offset accruals; and the adjusted
immediately commencing straight life
annuity under the Plan at age 65 is the
annual amount of such annuity that
would be payable under the Plan to a
hypothetical Member who is age 65 and
has the same Accrued Benefit as the
Member.
Except with respect to a Member who is a
"Qualified Member" as defined in Section
415(b )(2)(H) of the Code, for benefits (except
survivor and disability benefits as defined in
Section 415(b )(2)(1) of the Code), if the Annuity
Starting Date for the Member's benefit is
before age 62
(i) If the Plan does not have an
immediately commencing straight life
annuity payable at both age 62 and the
age of benefit commencement
The Dollar Limitation at the Member's
Annuity Starting Date is the annual
amount of a benefit payable in the form
of a straight life annuity commencing at
the Member's Annuity Starting Date that
is the actuarial equivalent of the Dollar
Limitation with actuarial equivalence
computed using a 5.00% interest rate
assumption and the mortality basis

mortality basis prescribed in Code
Section 415(b )(2)(E)(v).
Any increase in the Dollar Limitation determined in
accordance with this paragraph shall not reflect a mortality
decrement between age 65 and the age at which benefits
commence if benefits are not forfeited upon the death of the
Member. If any benefits are forfeited upon death. the full
mortality decrement is taken into account.

Code.
With respect to Subclause (3) (A) (I) (i), Subclause (3)(A)(II)(i)

made to the Dollar Limitation to reflect the probability of a
Member's death between the Annuity Starting Date and age
62. or between age 65 and the Annuity Starting Date, as
applicable, if benefits are not forfeited upon the death of the
Member prior to the Annuity Starting Date. To the extent
benefits are forfeited upon death before the Annuity Starting
Date, such an adjustment shall be made. For this purpose,
no forfeiture shall be treated as occurring upon the

participation in the Plan, the Dollar Limitation set forth in
Paragraph (3) of this Subsection (a) shall be multiplied by a
fraction -(i) the numerator of which is the number of years
(or part thereof) of participation in the Plan, and Oi) the
denominator of which is 10.
(9) Anv portion of a Member's benefit that is attributable to
mandatory Member contributions (unless picked-up by the

commencing at more than one annuity starting date, the
Annual Benefit shall be determined as of each such annuity

apply as though the surviving spouse were the participant.
(3) Requirements For Annuitv Distributions That Commence
During participant's Lifetime.
a. Joint Life Annuities Where the Beneficiary Is Not the
participant's Spouse. If the participant's interest is being
distributed in the form of a joint and survivor annuity for the
joint lives of the participant and a nonspousal beneficiary,
annuity payments to be made on or after the participant's
Required Beginning Date to the designated beneficiary after
the participant's death must not at any time exceed the
applicable percentage of the annuity payment for such
period that would have been payable to the participant using
the table set forth in Q&A-2 of Section 1.401 (a)(9)-6 of the
Treasury regulations. If the form of distribution combines a
joint and survivor annuity for the joint lives of the participant
and a nonspousal beneficiary and a period certain annuity,
the requirement in the preceding sentence will apply to
annuity payments to be made to the designated beneficiary
after the expiration of the period certain.
b. Period Certain Annuities. Unless the participant's
spouse is the sole designated beneficiary and the form of
distribution is a period certain and no life annuity, the period
certain for an annuity distribution commencing during the
participant's lifetime may not exceed the applicable
distribution period for the participant under the Uniform
Lifetime Table set forth in Section 1.401(a)(9)-9 of the
Treasury regulations for the calendar year that contains the
annuity starting date. If the annuity starting date precedes
the year in which the participant reaches age 70, the
applicable distribution period for the participant is the
distribution period for age 70 under the Uniform Lifetime

Table set forth in Section 1.401 (a)(9)-9 of the Treasury
regulations plus the excess of 70 over the age of the
participant as of the participant's birthday in the year that
contains the annuity starting date. If the participant's spouse
is the participant's sole designated beneficiary and the form
of distribution is a period certain and no life annuity, the
period certain may not exceed the longer of the participant's
applicable distribution period, as determined under this
Subparagraph (3)b., or the joint life and last survivor
expectancy of the participant and the participant's spouse as
determined under the Joint and Last Survivor Table set forth
in Section 1.401 (a)(9)-9 of the Treasury regulations, using
the participant's and spouse's attained ages as of the
participant's and spouse's birthdays in the calendar year that
contains the annuity starting date.
(4) Form of Distribution. Unless the participant's interest is
distributed in the form of an annuity purchased from an insurance
company or in a single sum on or before the Required Beginning
Date, as of the first distribution calendar year distributions will be
made in accordance with Subparagraphs (4)a., (4)b. and (4)c.
below. If the participant's interest is distributed in the form of an
annuity purchased from an insurance company, distributions
thereunder will be made in accordance with the requirements of
Section 401 (a)(9) of the Code and the Treasury regulations. Any
part of the participant's interest which is in the form of an individual
account described in Section 414(k) of the Code will be distributed
in a manner satisfying the requirements of Section 401 (a)(9) of the
Code and the Treasury regulations that apply to individual
accounts.
a. General Annuity Requirements. If the participant's
interest is paid in the form of annuity distributions under the
Plan, payments under the annuity will satisfy the following
requirements:
(I) the annuity distributions will be paid in periodic
payments made at intervals not longer than one year;
(II) the distribution period will be over a life (or
lives) or over a period certain, not longer than the
distribution period described in Paragraphs (2) or (3)
above, whichever is applicable, of this Subsection (c);

(III) once payments have begun over a period
certain, the period certain will not be changed even if
the period certain is shorter than the maximum
permitted;
(IV) payments will either be non-increasing or
increase only as follows:
(i) by an annual percentage increase that
does not exceed the annual percentage
increase in a cost-of-living index that is based
on prices of all items and issued by the Bureau
of Labor Statistics;
(ii) to the extent of the reduction in the
amount of the participant's payments to provide
for a survivor benefit upon death, but only if the
beneficiary whose life was being used to
determine the distribution period dies or is no
longer the participant's beneficiary pursuant to
a qualified domestic relations order within the
meaning of Section 414(p) of the Code;
(iii) to provide cash refunds of employee
contributions upon the participant's death; or
(iv) to pay increased benefits that result
from a Plan amendment.
b. Amount Required to be Distributed by Required
Beginning Date. The amount that must be distributed on or
before the participant's Required Beginning Date (or, if the
participant dies before distributions begin, the date
distributions are required to begin under Subparagraph
(2}a.(I) or (2}a.(II), whichever is applicable) is the payment
that is required for one payment interval. The second
payment need not be made until the end of the next payment
interval even if that payment interval ends in the next
calendar year. Payment intervals are the periods for which
payments are received, e.g., bi-monthly, monthly, semi-
annually, or annually. All of the participant's benefit accruals
as of the last day of the first distribution calendar year will be
included in the calculation of the amount of the annuity

participant's Required Beginning Date.
c. Additional Accruals After First Distribution Calendar
Year. Any additional benefits accruing to the participant in a
calendar year after the first distribution calendar year will be
distributed beginning with the first payment interval ending in
the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in
which such amount accrues.
(5) For purposes of this Subsection (c), distributions are
considered to begin on the participant's Required Beginning Date.
If annuity payments irrevocably commence to the participant (or to
the participant's Surviving Spouse) before the participant's
Required Beginning Date (or, if to the participant's Surviving
Spouse, before the date distributions are required to begin in
accordance with Subparagraph (2)a. above), the date distributions
are considered to begin is the date distributions actually
commence.

the Administrator, to have any portion of an eligible rollover
distribution· paid directly to an eligible retirement plan specified by
the distributee in a direct rollover.
(2) Definitions
The following definitions apply to this Section:
a. Eligible rollover distribution: An eligible rollover
distribution is any distribution of all or any portion of the
balance to the credit of the distributee, except that an eligible
rollover distribution does not include:
(I) any distribution that is one of a series of
substantially equal periodic payments (not less
frequently than annually) made for the life (or life
expectancy) of the distributee or the joint lives (or joint
life expectancies) of the distributee and the
distributee's designated beneficiary, or for a specified
period of 10 years or more;
(II) any distribution to the extent such distribution
is required under Section 401 (a)(9) of the Code;
(III) the portion of any distribution which is made
upon the hardship of the member; and
(IV) the portion of any distribution that is not
includible in gross income (determined without regard
to the exclusion for net unrealized appreciation with
respect to employer securities), provided that a
portion of a distribution shall not fail to be an eligible
rollover distribution merely because the portion
consists of after-tax Employee contributions which are
not includible in gross income. However, such portion
may be transferred only to an individual retirement
account or annuity described in Section 408(a) or (b)
of the Code, or to a qualified defined contribution plan
described in Section 401 (a) or 403(a) of the Code that
agrees to separately account for amounts so
transferred, including separately accounting for the
portion of such distribution which is includible in gross
income and the portion of such distribution which is
not so includible.
