Cash Balance Feature

Under the cash balance feature of the Company’s pension plan, the Company establishes an account for each participating employee. Every month the employee works, the Company credits the employee’s account with an amount equal to four percent of the employee’s monthly pay. In addition, the ongoing balance of the employee’s account earns interest at the 30-year Treasury bond rate. To the extent federal laws place limitations on the amount of pay that may be taken into account under the plan, four percent of the excess pay is credited to an account established for the employee in an unfunded supplementary plan. If a participating employee leaves the Company and is vested (five or more years of service), the employee’s account balance will be distributed to the employee in the form of a lump sum or monthly annuity. If the participating employee’s account balance exceeds $5,000, the employee also has the choice of leaving his or her account balance in the plan to continue to earn interest.

In addition to the benefits described above, Mr. Brust is covered under a special supplemental pension arrangement established under his December 20, 1999, offer letter. The supplemental pension arrangement provides Mr. Brust a single life annuity of $12,500 per month upon his retirement if he remains employed with the Company for at least five years. The $12,500 monthly annuity will be offset by Mr. Brust’s cash balance benefit and by all other Company-paid retirement income benefits provided to Mr. Brust.
