6.5 Transfers from Nonaccount Plans

 

(a) General Rule. Except as otherwise described in this Plan section, in calculating a Participant’s Retirement Income at any time after the Participant transfers to an Employer from another Affiliate in which the Participant accrued a benefit under another nonaccount balance nonqualified plan, his prior service and earnings shall not be taken into account in determining Retirement Income under this Plan, even if such service and earnings are taken into account when determining his Retirement Plan Benefit.

 

(b) Transfers from ABC. Notwithstanding any Plan provision to the contrary, the Participant’s Retirement Income under this Plan at any time after the Participant transfers to an Employer from a BEP Employer where the Participant accrued a benefit under the ABC Plan and/or BEP shall be determine under this subsection.

 

  (1) If, as of any Benefit Calculation Date, the Participant’s Add-On Benefit is greater than his All-Service Benefit, then the Participant’s Retirement Income shall be determined under the terms of this Plan without adjustment for the Participant’s service and earnings with a BEP Employer.

 

  (2) If, as of any Benefit Calculation Date, the Participant’s All-Service Benefit is greater than his Add-On Benefit, the Participant’s Retirement Income shall be the Participant’s All-Service Benefit reduced by the Participant’s Retirement Income, as defined in and determined under the BEP. Because it is the express intent of this Plan that there be no prohibited substitution of benefits in violation of Treasury Regulations section 1.409A-3(f), Retirement Income under this Plan and Retirement Income under the BEP are payable only at the same time and only in forms that are Actuarially Equivalent life annuities, applying the same reasonable actuarial assumptions and methods across the Plan, the Retirement Plan, the BEP and the ABC Plan.
