Health Benefits
 
The named executive officers currently are covered under an executive insurance plan which provides them, as well as their spouses and dependents, with medical and dental coverage. Upon retirement, under current plan provisions, named executive officers, their spouses and eligible dependents can continue coverage. Named executive officers whose age plus years of service equal at least 70 receive a continuation of this benefit, provided that they pay for coverage until age 65. Access to these medical benefits continues for the spouses and

dependents after the named executive officer’s death. If a named executive officer is involuntarily terminated or terminated in connection with a change of control, and is not retirement eligible, he or she can receive a continuation of the medical benefit for up to two years under the Severance Plan described below. The benefit valuation at the end of this section includes the actuarial present value of executive insurance plan coverage where it continues indefinitely, and the cost of the coverage where it continues for a specified period. The actuarial present value is incremental to what the named executive officer would have received under the retiree medical plan available to other employees. To the extent that our actuarial present value calculations assume coverage over a beneficiary’s expected lifetime, we make this assumption only for estimating the value of benefits in this proxy statement and not as a guarantee of continuing coverage.
 
If the named executive officers currently are placed on disability leave, they and their spouses and dependents receive a continuance of their executive insurance plan coverage for the duration of the leave.

Health Benefits
 
The named executive officers are covered under an executive insurance plan which provides them, as well as their spouses and dependents, with medical and dental coverage. Once retirement-eligible named executive officers are terminated, they and their spouses and dependents receive a continuation of this benefit for the remainder of their lives or until they fail to qualify as dependents, if sooner. Named executive officers whose age plus years of service equal at least 70 receive a continuation of this benefit, provided that they pay for coverage until age 65. Access to these medical benefits continues for the spouses and dependents after the named executive officer’s death. If a named executive officer is terminated in connection with a change of control, he or she receives a continuation of the medical benefit for two years under the Severance Plan described below. The benefit valuation at the end of this section includes the incremental actuarial present value of executive insurance plan coverage where it continues indefinitely, and the cost of the coverage where it continues for a specified period.
