9.5 Additional Participating Employers

 

(a) Adoption. With the consent of the Company, any Affiliate may adopt the Plan for its Eligible Employees and thereby become an Employer under the Plan. An Affiliate adopting the Plan shall compile and submit all information required by the Committee with reference to its Eligible Employees. An entity will be considered to have adopted the Plan with the consent of the Company if it takes significant action that is consistent with the adoption of the Plan, the Board or Committee is aware of the action, and neither objects to the action.

 

(b) Crediting of Prior Service. If an Affiliate adopts the Plan in accordance with subsection (a), or if any persons become Employees of an Employer as the result of merger or consolidation or as the result of acquisition of all or part of the assets or business of another company, the Company shall determine to what extent, if any, previous service with the Affiliate or acquired business shall be recognized under the Plan.

 

(c) Withdrawal by Affiliate. Any Employer may withdraw its participation in the Plan on appropriate action by it. In addition, an Employer will automatically cease to participate in the Plan from and after the date it ceases to be an Affiliate. In either event, the benefits under the Plan will be earned with respect that Employer’s participation in the Plan shall be determined by the Committee. Pensions payable to Employees employed by the withdrawing Employer shall be payable to such Employees when due under the Plan, but such Employees shall not be considered Eligible Employees from and after the date of withdrawal by their Employer.
