(1) Benefit Formula. Subject to paragraph (2), the annual benefit of a Motor Cargo Participant shall equal the sum of (i) and (ii), when (i) and (ii) equal:

 

(i) the Motor Cargo Participant’s annual benefit accrued under the Motor Cargo Plan as of December 31, 2005;

A Motor Cargo Participant who terminates employment with all Employer Companies and Related Employers after his or her Normal Retirement Date shall be entitled to a benefit commencing as of his or her Postponed Retirement Date that is the Actuarial Equivalent of the Motor Cargo Participant’s Accrued Benefit payable as of the later of Normal Retirement Date or the last day of the prior Plan Year. A Motor Cargo Participant’s Accrued Benefit as of the end of each Plan Year following his or her Normal Retirement Date is the greater of: (1) his or her Accrued Benefit taking into account benefits accrued after his or her Normal Retirement Date or (2) the Accrued Benefit, determined as of the later of Normal Retirement Date or the end of the prior Plan Year, actuarially adjusted for late retirement.

an optional form of benefit, a five year certain and life annuity for his or her entire Accrued Benefit. For purposes of applying Section 5.3 of the main text of the Plan, the terms Actuarial Equivalent and Applicable Interest Rate shall have the meaning assigned to such terms in this Appendix K.

 

(b) Lump Sum Payment A Motor Cargo Participant who terminated employment with Motor Cargo on or after March 28, 2005 but prior to January 1, 2006 may elect to receive his or her Accrued Benefit payable under Section 5.3 in a cash lump sum as soon as practicable after his or termination of employment if the Present Value of such benefit is at least $1,000 but does not exceed $5,000. If a Motor Cargo Participant’s (other than a Grandfathered Motor Cargo Participant’s) benefit is cashed out pursuant to this Section 5.3(b) or Section 6.1, service associated with such cash-out shall be disregarded for purposes of the Plan; provided, however, that such service shall be counted in determining the Employee’s Year of Vesting Service and years of Benefit Service if, upon reemployment, the distribution is repaid by the Motor Cargo Employee to the Trustees, together with interest at 5% or such other rate as may in the future be established or otherwise made effective by regulation or administration action implementing Sections 204(c)(2)(C) and 204(e) or ERISA.

 

Section 5.4. Disability Benefit.

 

(a) Before July 1, 2006. Each Motor Cargo Participant who has completed at least 5 years of Vesting Service and has a Total Disability before age 55 and before July 1, 2006 shall be entitled to an immediate disability benefit equal to 55% of the Motor Cargo Participant’s vested Accrued Benefit commencing on the first day of the month coincident with or next following his or her Total Disability and ending on the date he or she ceases to be a Disabled Participant. The disability benefit provided by this Section 5.4 shall be paid in the Normal Form or in any form elected by the Participant under Section 5.3.

 

A Disabled Participant shall cease to be such if and when:

 

(i) he or she reaches age 55;

 

(ii) he or she ceases to suffer from Total Disability; or

 

(iii) he or she dies.

 

When a Disabled Participant reaches age 55, the provisions of Section 5.2(b) shall apply.

The Trustee may require a Motor Cargo Participant to submit evidence of his or her continued eligibility for a disability benefit on a semi-annual basis. In the event a disabled Motor Cargo Participant refuses or fails to submit such evidence of continued disability, the Trustees will discontinue the disability benefit payments until the Motor Cargo Participant does submit satisfactory evidence of his or her continued disability. No disability benefit shall be paid

 

7


under this Section 5.4 pending a determination of Total Disability by the Social Security Administration.

 

(b) After June 30, 2006. Each Motor Cargo Participant who is determined to be Totally Disabled as of any date on or after July 1, 2006 shall be eligible to receive the disability retirement benefit described in Section 5.4 of the main text of the Plan.

 

Section 5.5 Qualified Joint and Survivor (Husband and Wife) Preretirement Survivor Benefit. Each vested Motor Cargo Participant shall have the Qualified Joint and Survivor (Husband and Wife) Benefit as described in Section 5.3 of the main text of the Plan effective for the benefit of his or her spouse so that if such Participant dies prior to his or her Annuity Starting Date his or her spouse will be entitled to receive a Preretirement Survivor Benefit as described in Section 5.5 of the main text of the Plan based on his or her Accrued Benefit described in this Appendix K and determined without regard to Section 5.5(c) of the main text of the Plan.

 

Section 5.6 Benefit Payments Under Other Plans and Programs. The benefits otherwise provided in this Appendix K and accrued after December 31, 2005 shall be reduced in the case of any Motor Cargo Participant, Disabled Participant or beneficiary, by the amount of any benefits payable to such Motor Cargo Participant, Disabled Participant, or beneficiary under any other non-government pension or retirement plan or program to which contributions have been made by an Employer Company on behalf of such person or under which service with an Employer Company is counted in calculating benefits, except the UPS Savings Plan and any other cash or deferred plan described in Section 401(k) of the Code or the UPS Qualified Stock Ownership Plan, to the extent that such benefits payable under such other plan or program are based on a period of time included in the calculation of years of Benefit Service, for purposes of this Appendix K and are not attributable to contributions made to such other plan or program by the Motor Cargo Participant or Disabled Participant.

 

If a reduction in benefits is also called for in another plan or plans sponsored and maintained by the Employer Company by reason of the benefits payable to a Motor Cargo Participant under this Plan, the reduction in benefits shall be made only in the benefits payable under the plan in which the Motor Cargo Participant last participated, and if he or she participated in more than one such other plan, then the reduction shall be made in the reverse order of participation with no reduction in the benefits payable under the plan in which the Motor Cargo Participant or Disabled Participant first participated.

 

If the Motor Cargo Participant receives one form of benefit under this Plan and another form of benefit under any such other plan, any reduction hereunder shall be based on actuarially equivalent forms of benefit.
