These excerpts taken from the NYX 10-K filed Feb 27, 2009. AMOUNT OF ACCRUED BENEFIT 3.1 Calculation of Accrued Benefit. (a) The annual Accrued Benefit payable under the Plan for an Amex Participant who is a Senior Vice President shall be an amount equal to the product of (i) four
percent (4%) of Final Average Compensation multiplied by (ii) years of Credited Service, up to a maximum of fifteen (15) years of Credited Service, for a maximum Accrued Benefit of sixty percent (60%) of such Amex Participants Final Average Compensation; which amount shall be reduced by one-quarter of one percent (.25%) for each month by which the Amex Participants payment date hereunder precedes such Amex Participants attainment of age 62. The Offset Amount shall be subtracted from this amount to arrive at the final Accrued Benefit. If the resulting amount is a negative number, the final Accrued Benefit under this Plan shall be deemed to be zero. (b) The annual Accrued Benefit payable under the Plan for an Amex Participant with a title more senior than Senior Vice President shall be an amount equal to the product of (i) six percent (6%) of Final Average Compensation multiplied by (ii) years of Credited Service, up to a maximum of ten (10) years of Credited Service, for a maximum Accrued Benefit of sixty percent (60%) of such Amex Participants Final Average Compensation; which amount shall be reduced by one-quarter of one percent (.25%) for each month by which the Amex Participants payment date hereunder precedes such Amex Participants attainment of age 62. The Offset Amount shall be subtracted from this amount to arrive at the final Accrued Benefit. If the resulting amount is a negative number, the final Accrued Benefit under this Plan shall be deemed to be zero. (c) The maximum gross (before subtracting the Offset Amount) Accrued Benefit under this Plan of 60% of an Amex Participants Final Average Compensation shall be reduced for all Amex Participants by the Actuarial Equivalent of the amount payable under the Amex Prior Plans, stated as an annual benefit for the Participants life. The benefit in subparagraph (c) is calculated assuming the Participants benefits under the Amex Prior Plans commence on the Participants Termination of Employment and is not dependent on when the Participant elects to receive benefits under the Retirement Plan. 3.2 No Interest Created. Neither the Amex Participant nor his surviving spouse or beneficiary shall have any interest in any specific asset of the Company, including policies of insurance. The Amex Participant and his surviving spouse or beneficiary shall have only the right to receive the benefits provided under the Plan. 3.3 Prior Plans. (a) Amex Participants who were first employed by the American Stock Exchange, Inc. (a predecessor of the Company) participated in either or both of the (i) American Stock Exchange Inc. Supplementary Retirement and Savings Plan and the (ii) American Stock Exchange Inc. Supplementary Retirement and Savings Plan A (collectively the Amex Prior Plans), both of which are nonqualified executive plans, and both of which were frozen as of December 31, 2004. The Employer has kept a list of the Participants in such plans and the benefit that each such Participant had earned in the Amex Prior Plans as of December 31, 2004. No further benefits accrue to any participant in such plans as of January 1, 2005. Any amounts accrued under such plans as of December 31, 2004 shall be paid by the Company as of whatever date such payments would have been made under those plans and in whatever form payments would have been made under those plans. To the extent that such plans included an earnings component, whereby earnings on a notional nonqualified amount are added periodically to the
nonqualified amount, such earnings shall continue to be added on and after January 1, 2005 and shall be subject to the terms of such Amex Prior Plans and effective October 1, 2008, any administrative procedures with respect to crediting of such earnings adopted by the NYSE. (b) Amex Participants who were first employed by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (NASD) (a predecessor of the Company) shall be deemed to have participated in this Plan effective as of their respective dates of hire, notwithstanding the effective date of the Plan being January 1, 2005. 3.4 Form of Payment. The Accrued Benefit shall be paid to the Amex Participant in a single sum payment which shall be the Actuarial Equivalent of the Accrued Benefit. 3.5 Commencement of Benefits. The benefit payable to an Amex Participant under the Plan shall be paid on the first day of the month coincident with or next following his Termination of Employment, except that in the case of an Amex Participant who is a Specified Employee, payment shall not in any event be made until the first business day of the month which is at least six months after the date of his Termination of Employment (or, if earlier, (a) the date of death or (b) the later of Termination of Employment or Disability of the Amex Participant). If distribution of a Participants benefit is delayed for six (6) calendar months in accordance with the foregoing, the single sum payment which would have been made earlier under the provisions of the Plan shall be paid at the six month date and increased with interest (at the rate described in Section 1.2 of the Plan) to the deferred distribution date. 3.6 Vesting. The Company shall have no obligation to pay the Accrued Benefit to the Amex Participant if the Amex Participant terminates employment with the Company for any reason (i) prior to age 55, or (ii) with less than ten (10) years of Service. Additionally, no payment shall be made to an Amex Participant whose employment is terminated for Cause.
