EXHIBIT (vi) Page 20 of 24
Agreement or Stock Option Gain Agreement, as the case may be, a Participant shall be entitled to request early payment of all or part of the balance in his/her Deferral Account and Gain Share Account in the event of an Unforeseeable Emergency, in accordance with this Section 8.06. A distribution pursuant to this Section 8.06 may only be made to the extent reasonably needed to satisfy the Unforeseeable Emergency need, and may not be made if such need is or may be relieved (i) through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise, (ii) by liquidation of the Participant’s assets to the extent such liquidation would not itself cause severe financial hardship, or (iii) by cessation of participation in the Plan. An application for an early payment under this Section 8.06 shall be made to the Administrative Committee in such form and in accordance with such procedures as the Administrative Committee shall determine from time to time. The determination of whether and in what amount and form a distribution will be permitted pursuant to this Section 8.06 shall be made by the Administrative Committee. Distributions shall be made from In-Service and Option Sub-Accounts and Gain Share Accounts (beginning with the most distant) and then from the Retirement Sub-Account.
