Retirement Benefit (i) In consideration of the Executive's past services to the Company, the Executive shall be entitled to a retirement benefit, payable monthly for his life, in an amount equal to 50 percent of his highest monthly Base Salary during the Employment Term. Such payments shall commence on the first day of the month coincident with or next following the later of the Executive's attainment of age 58 or the end of the Employment Term (the "Commencement Date"); provided, however, that if the Employment Term terminates prior to his attainment of age 58, the Executive may elect by written notice to the Company to have such payments commence on the first day of any month after such termination of employment (the "Early Commencement Date") in a monthly amount equal to the monthly amount that the Executive would have received at the Commencement Date, reduced by one-third of one percent (.33%) per month for each month by which the Early Commencement Date precedes the Commencement Date. The amount of each payment hereunder shall be increased on each January 1 following the Early Commencement Date or Commencement Date, as applicable, by an amount determined by multiplying the amount of each monthly payment made in the preceding year by the percentage increase, if any, in the cost of living from the preceding January 1, as reflected by the Consumer Price Index. The Executive's election to have his retirement benefit payments commence on the Early Commencement Date shall not affect the Company's obligation to pay consulting fees to the Executive in accordance with Section 4 hereof. The retirement benefit shall be an unconditional, but unsecured, general credit obligation of the Company to the Executive, and nothing contained in this Agreement, and no action taken pursuant to it, shall create or be construed to create a trust of any kind between the Company and the Executive. The Executive shall have no right, title or interest whatever in or to any investments which the Company may make (including, but not limited to, an insurance policy on the life of the Executive) to aid it in meeting its obligations hereunder.
(ii) From time to time, the Company shall make such contributions to the trust established under the Trust Agreement dated as of December 18, 1986 (the "1986 Trust") between the Company, as grantor, and Wixxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx, as successor trustee, to provide a sufficient reserve for the discharge of its obligation to pay the retirement benefit to the Executive as provided in clause (i) of this Section 3(c) and clauses (ii) and (iii) of Section 5(a) hereof.

24.2 Transition to retirement arrangements may be proposed and, where agreed, implemented as:
(a) a flexible working arrangement (see clause 16 (Flexible Working Arrangements));
(b) in writing between the parties; or

(b) to be appointed to a role which that has a lower hourly rate of pay or hours (post transition role), in which case:
(i) the Employer will preserve the accrual of LSL at the time of reduction in salary or hours; and
(ii) where LSL is taken or paid out in lieu on termination, the Employee will be paid LSL hours at the applicable classification and grade, and at the preserved hours, prior to the post transition role until the preserved LSL hours are exhausted.
Compensation Benefits Etc During the Employment Period, the Manager shall be compensated as follows:
(a) The Manager shall (i) receive an annual cash base salary, payable not less frequently than semi-monthly, which is not less than the annualized cash base salary payable to Manager as of the Effective Date; (ii) be entitled to at least as favorable annual incentive award opportunity under the Company's annual incentive compensation plan as he did in the calendar year immediately prior to the year in which the Change of Control Event occurs; and (iii) be eligible to participate in all of the Company's long-term incentive compensation plans and programs on terms that are at least as favorable to the Manager as provided to the Manager in the four calendar years prior to the Effective Date.
(b) The Manager shall be entitled to receive fringe benefits, employee benefits, and perquisites (including, but not limited to, vacation, medical, disability, dental, and life insurance benefits) which are at least as favorable to those made generally available as of the Effective Date to all of the Company's salaried managers as a group. In addition, the Manager shall be eligible to participate in the Company's Supplemental Retirement Income Program ("SRIP").
(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement (whether in this Section 4, in Section 6, or elsewhere), (i) the Board of Directors may authorize an increase in the amount, duration, and nature of and/or the acceleration of any compensation or benefits payable under this Agreement, as well as waive or reduce the requirements for entitlement thereto and (ii) the Company may deduct from amounts otherwise payable to the Manager such amounts as it reasonably believes it is required to withhold for the payment of federal, state, and local taxes.
Supplemental Retirement Benefits The terms and conditions for the payment of supplemental retirement benefits are set forth in a separate written agreement between the parties.

Early Retirement Benefits If elected in the Adoption Agreement, an Early Retirement benefit may be available to individuals who meet the age and Service requirements that are specified in the Adoption Agreement. A Participant who attains his or her Early Retirement Date will become fully vested, regardless of any vesting schedule which otherwise might apply.

Distributions on Account of Separation from Service If and to the extent required to comply with Section 409A, no payment or benefit required to be paid under this Agreement on account of termination of the Executive’s employment shall be made unless and until the Executive incurs a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A.
Termination of 401(k) Plan Unless otherwise directed in writing by Parent at least five business days prior to the consummation of the Offer, and to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Company will terminate any and all Employee Plans intended to qualify as a qualified cash or deferred arrangement under Section 401(k) of the Code, effective as of the day immediately preceding the date the Company becomes a member of the same Controlled Group of Corporations (as defined in Section 414(b) of the Code) as Parent (the “401(k) Termination Date”). The Company shall provide Parent evidence that such resolutions to terminate the 401(k) plan(s) of the Company and its Subsidiaries have been adopted by the Company Board or the board of directors of its Subsidiaries, as applicable. The form and substance of such resolutions shall be subject to the reasonable approval of Parent. The Company shall also take such other actions in furtherance of terminating any such 401(k) plans as Parent may reasonably request. Immediately prior to the 401(k) Termination Date, the Company will make (or cause to be made) all necessary payments to fund the contributions (i) necessary or required to maintain the tax-qualified status of any such 401(k) plan and (ii) for elective deferrals made pursuant to any such 401(k) plan for the period prior to its termination. As promptly as practicable after the 401(k) Termination Date and subject to the terms of Parent’s 401(k) plan, Parent shall permit all employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries who were eligible to participate in any such 401(k) plan immediately prior to the 401(k) Termination Date to participate in Parent’s 401(k) plan, and to the extent permitted by the terms of the applicable plan, shall permit each continuing employee of the Company and its Subsidiaries to elect to roll over his or her account balance from any terminated 401(k) plan maintained by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, to Parent’s 401(k) plan.
