ARTICLE I
PURPOSE
1.1   The purpose of the Siemens Savings Plan is to encourage and assist eligible employees to save part of their income on a regular basis through payroll deductions and salary reduction, supplemented by contributions by the participating employers. The Effective Date for this Plan was January 1, 1980.
1.2   The provisions of the Plan as amended and restated herein shall apply only with respect to Employees who complete at least one Hour of Service on or after October 1, 2006, except as may expressly be provided otherwise herein. The benefit entitlements of all other persons shall be governed by the terms of the Plan in effect at the time of their retirement or other termination of employment with the Employers. Notwithstanding the October 1, 2006 effective date for the restatement of this Plan, any change required by federal law with respect to the Plan and any plan that is merged into this Plan, including, without limitation, amendments to the Internal Revenue Code and the Act and regulations or rulings issued pursuant thereto, shall be effective on the latest date on which such change may become effective and comply with such laws, and each such plan shall be deemed to be amended accordingly.

4


 

      the individual prior to such acquisition with such business entity or with any member of a controlled group of companies (whether or not incorporated) of which such business entity was a member at the time such service was performed shall be treated as service with such Employer if and to the extent determined by the Board of Directors.
 
      In calculating an Employee’s period of Continuous Employment, all periods of Continuous Employment determined under the foregoing rules (whether or not consecutive) shall be aggregated; except that Continuous Employment prior to an Employee’s quit, retirement or discharge shall not be aggregated and shall not be taken into account in the case of a re-employed individual if both of the following conditions are met:
  (1)   the Employee did not have a vested right to any benefits under the Plan derived from Employer contributions at the time of such quit, retirement or discharge; and
  (2)   the period between such quit, retirement or discharge, and the date of reemployment equals or exceeds the greater of (A) 60 months or (B) the period of Continuous Employment before such quit, retirement or discharge.

5

  (l)   “Disability” means that condition of a Member due to bodily injury or disease whereby the Member cannot continue in his regular employment with his Employer, excluding, however,
  (i)   disability suffered or incurred while the Member was engaged in, or resulting from his having engaged in, a criminal enterprise;
  (ii)   disability resulting from habitual drunkenness or addiction to narcotics; or
 
  (iii)   disability resulting from self-inflicted injury.
The date on which a disability is sustained shall be (i) in the case of disability due to bodily injury, the date on which such injury occurred and (ii) in the case of disability due to disease the date certified by a physician chosen by the Administrative Committee as the date on which such disability commenced. Disability shall not be deemed to exist if the Member refuses to submit to a physical examination to be made by a physician chosen by the Administrative Committee for the purpose of determining the existence thereof.
  (m)   “Effective Date” means January 1, 1980.

6


 

      formerly classified as a leased employee or independent contractor, (ii) who is determined by the Employer to have performed any services as a common law employee of the Employer or as a leased employee as defined in Section 414(n) of the Internal Revenue Code during such period of classification, and (iii) who then becomes an Employee, shall be treated as an Employee during his or her prior period of employment as a common law employee of the Employer or as a leased employee as defined in Section 414(n) of the Internal Revenue Code. For purposes of this Section 2.1(n), effective for Plan Years beginning after December 31, 1996, “leased employee” is defined as any person (other than employee of the recipient) who pursuant to an agreement between the recipient and any other person (‘leasing organization’) has performed services for the recipient (or for the recipient and related persons, as determined in accordance with Section 414(n)(6) of the Internal Revenue Code) on a substantially full time basis for a period of at least 1 year, and such services are performed under the primary direction or control by the recipient.

Such contracts or policies shall further provide that the annuities and all interest of Members and Beneficiaries thereunder shall be nontransferable. Such contracts or policies shall be issued to the Company or the Trustee as holder. The provisions of any Trust Agreement or any Insurance Company contract shall not prevent the return to an

7


 

      Employer of a contribution made by mistake of fact if such return is made within one year after payment of the contribution, or return to an Employer of a contribution (each of which shall be conditioned upon deductibility of the contribution under Section 404 of the Internal Revenue Code) to the extent such deduction is disallowed if such return is made within one year after the disallowance of the deduction, or the return of Plan assets in the event of denial of initial qualification of the Plan.

For the Plan Years occurring on or after January 1, 1997, the Administrative Committee has not elected to use the provision regarding the ‘top paid’ group
Compensation for purposes of this Section (q) shall be compensation as defined in Section 414(q) of the Internal Revenue Code.

Such Hours of Service shall be taken into account only in the Plan Year in which the absence from work commences, except that if the person had completed at least 501 Hours of Service in the Plan Year at the commencement of such absence, such Hours of Service shall be taken into account in the next following Plan Year.
  (t)   “Insurance Company” means an insurance company which is qualified to manage, acquire or dispose of assets of the Fund under the laws of more than one State; is qualified to do business in the State of New York; and has issued a contract or policy for the purpose of funding the Plan.

    Subject to Section 3.2, each other Employee will be eligible to become a Member of the Plan as of the Enrollment Date coincident with or next succeeding the date on which such Employee’s Continuous Employment commenced if he then is employed by an Employer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an individual who is a participant in a thrift or savings plan maintained by an Affiliated Company which is not an Employer is transferred directly from employment with such Affiliated Company to employment as an Employee of an Employer and such individual would have been eligible to become a Member of the Plan on or before his date of transfer if his period of service with such Affiliated Company prior to such transfer (including any such service before the company became an Affiliated Company) were treated as a period of service with an Employer, such individual shall be eligible to become a Member as an Enrollment Date coincident with or next succeeding the date of such transfer).
 
    Also, if an individual who is employed by an Employer and who is eligible to be a Member of the Siemens Savings Plan for Union Employees is transferred directly from an employment position with an Employer rated as union to an employment position rated as non-union, such individual shall be eligible to become a Member of this Plan as of an Enrollment Date coincident with or next succeeding the date of such transfer, and the amounts in such individual’s Accounts in the Siemens Savings Plan for Union Employees shall be transferred to this Plan. Amounts so transferred shall retain their characterization as contributions pursuant to a qualified cash or deferred arrangement described in Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code, matched and unmatched, tax-deferred and after-tax employee contributions, rollover contributions and earnings therein, and shall be credited according to the applicable Employee’s Basic or Supplemental Tax-Deferred Contribution Account, Basic or Supplemental After-Tax Contribution Account, Employee Contribution Account and Rollover Contribution Account.
3.2   A Temporary Employee shall be eligible to become a Member of the Plan as of any Enrollment Date coincident with or next succeeding the date on which such Temporary Employee

11


 

    completes a Year of Service if he is then employed by an Employer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Temporary Employee completes at least 1,000 hours of service between July 19, 2004 and June 29, 2005, such Temporary Employee shall be eligible to become a Member of the Plan as of any Enrollment Date coinciding with or next succeeding the date on which such Temporary Employee completes 1,000 Hours of Service if he is then employed by an Employer.
3.3   Subject to the provisions of Section 4.11, membership of any Employee in the Plan shall be entirely voluntary.
3.4   Subject to Sections 3.1 and 3.2, an Employee may elect to participate in the Plan as of any Enrollment Date on prior notice of such election to his Employer. Such election shall include payroll deduction authorization and/or any election to reduce Compensation and a Contribution rate on forms prescribed by the Administrative Committee.
3.5   If an Employee ceases to be a Member by reason of the termination of his employment with the Employers and he is later re-employed as an Employee, he shall again become a Member as of the date on which his employment as an Employee resumes, unless his prior Continuous Employment is disregarded pursuant to sub-section 2.1(i), in which event he shall be treated upon re-employment as a new Employee for the purposes of this Article III.
ARTICLE IV
TAX-DEFERRED MEMBER CONTRIBUTIONS AND AFTER-TAX CONTRIBUTIONS
4.1   Each Member, for as long as he continues active participation in the Plan, shall for each payroll period either make After-Tax Contributions to the Plan from his Compensation by payroll deduction pursuant to Section 4.3 and/or have the Employer make Tax-Deferred Contributions on his behalf pursuant to Section 4.2 in lieu of Compensation otherwise paid to him currently.
4.2   Each Member may elect that his Compensation be reduced and that his Employer contribute a Tax-Deferred Contribution to the Plan in the same amount on his behalf, subject to the following:
  (a)   Tax-Deferred Contributions of from 1% to 25%, in 1% increments, of Compensation may be elected by any Member; provided, however, that the minimum rate of Tax-Deferred Contributions shall be 2% rather than 1% unless the Member elects to make After-Tax Contributions of at least 1% of Compensation; and provided further, that such contributions shall be subject to the provisions of sub-section 4.2(b). The first 6% of Tax-Deferred Contributions elected by a

12


 

      Member are sometimes referred to herein as “Basic Tax-Deferred Contributions”; the balance of such Member’s Tax-Deferred Contributions are sometimes referred to herein as “Supplemental Tax-Deferred Contributions.”
  (b)   (1)      The Administrative Committee shall determine from time to time, as it deems desirable, the criteria for determining the maximum permissible Tax-Deferred Contribution rate for Employees who are Highly Compensated Employees which the Administrative Committee believes is likely to cause the Plan to satisfy the Actual Deferral Percentage Test described below. The Administrative Committee’s determinations pursuant to this Section 4.2 shall be final and shall not be subject to question by the Employers, the Trustee, the Insurance Company or any Member or group of Members.
  (2)   The Actual Deferral Percentage Test requires that, for any Plan Year, the Actual Deferral Percentage for the eligible Employees who are Highly Compensated Employees shall not exceed the greater of (i) or (ii) as follows:
  (i)   The Actual Deferral Percentage for the eligible Employees other than Highly Compensated Employees, times 1.25, or
  (ii)   The Actual Deferral Percentage for the eligible Employees other than Highly Compensated Employees, times 2.0; provided, however, that the Actual Deferral Percentage for Highly Compensated Employees may not exceed the Actual Deferral Percentage for the eligible Employees other than Highly Compensated Employees by more than two percentage points.
 
      The Actual Deferral Percentage for either specified group of eligible Employees for a Plan Year shall be the average of the ratios (calculated separately for each eligible Employee in such group) of the sum of (a) the amount of Tax-Deferred Contributions actually paid to the Plan on behalf of each such eligible Employee for such Plan Year, (b) all other elective contributions made on behalf of such eligible Employee for such Plan Year under any other plan aggregated with this Plan for purposes of Section 401(a)(4) or Section 410(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, and (c) in the case of a Highly

13


 

      Compensated Employee, all other elective contributions made on behalf of such eligible Employee for such Plan Year under any other cash-or-deferred arrangement in which he is eligible (other than one which may not be aggregated with this Plan), to the eligible Employee’s compensation, as defined in Section 414(s) of the Internal Revenue Code, for such Plan Year. The Actual Deferral Percentage Test shall be calculated in accordance with Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code and Treasury Regulations thereunder, which are hereby incorporated by this reference.
  (iii)   For purposes of performing the Actual Deferral Percentage Test under Section 4.2(b), current year data with regard to eligible Employees other than non Highly Compensated Employees shall be used.
  (3)   In the event that at the end of the Plan Year it is determined that the Plan would otherwise fail to satisfy the Actual Deferral Percentage Test for that Plan Year, the Administrative Committee may determine either (i) that an additional Employer Contribution shall be made pursuant to sub-section 5.1(b), or (ii) to distribute excess contributions in the three step method set forth in the immediately following sentence. Step one is to determine the excess contribution by lowering the Highly Compensated Employee with the largest percentage deferral (ADR) down to the next Highly Compensated Employee with the next highest deferral percentage until the Actual Deferral Percentage Test is satisfied; step two is to multiply the percentage reductions by the compensation of the respective Highly Compensated Employees to determine the excess contribution; and step three is to distribute the excess contribution 2(together with any income allocable to such amounts for such Plan Year) to the Highly Compensated Employee with the largest dollar deferral (and to forfeit any corresponding Employer Contributions for application under Article XII) and then distributing the excess contributions (together with any income allocable to such amounts for such Plan Year) to the Highly Compensated Employee with the next largest dollar deferral (and to forfeit any corresponding Employer Contributions for application under Article XII) and repeating until the excess is depleted. The earnings (or losses) allocable to

14


 

      excess contributions shall be determined by multiplying the earnings (or losses) allocable to the Highly Compensated Employee’s Tax-Deferred Contributions for the Plan Year by a fraction, the numerator of which is the excess contributions on behalf of the Highly Compensated Employee for the Plan Year and the denominator of which is the Highly Compensated Employee’s Tax-Deferred Account balance on the last day of the Plan Year reduced by the earnings (or increased by the losses) allocable to such Tax-Deferred Account Balance for the Plan Year. The amount which may be distributed pursuant to this sub-section for any Plan Year shall be reduced by the amount of any excess Tax-Deferred Contributions previously distributed pursuant to sub-section 4.2(d) for the calendar year ending in such Plan Year. Any amounts to be distributed to a Highly Compensated Employee pursuant to the sub-section 4.2(b)(3) shall be made within 12 months after the close of the Plan Year in which the Plan failed to satisfy the Actual Deferral Percentage Test.
  (c)   If the total Tax-Deferred Contributions made on behalf of a Member during a calendar year beginning January 1, 2006 by the application of the percentage elected by him under this Plan, together with such Member’s elective contributions previously made to other plans maintained by the Affiliated Companies during such calendar year, would otherwise exceed $15,000 (adjusted for cost of living increases to the extent permitted under Section 402(g) of the Internal Revenue Code), the excess shall not constitute a reduction of the Member’s Compensation or a Tax-Deferred Contribution for the balance of such calendar year. Such excess shall instead constitute:
  (i)   a Basic After-Tax Contribution to the extent required to make the sum of the Member’s Tax-Deferred and After-Tax Contributions equal 6% of his Compensation, and
  (ii)   a Supplemental After-Tax Contribution for all additional amounts deducted.
This excess shall be credited to the applicable Member’s Accounts. In such event, Tax-Deferred Contributions will be resumed at the rate previously in effect as of the first day of the next succeeding calendar year unless otherwise changed by the Member.
  (d)   If at the end of a calendar year beginning January 1, 2006 the sum of the Tax-Deferred Contributions made on behalf of a Member during such year and the Member’s

15


 

      elective contributions made to other plans during such year exceeds $15,000(adjusted for cost of living increases to the extent permitted under Section 402(g) of the Internal Revenue Code), the Member may elect to allocate all or any portion of such excess to his Tax-Deferred Contributions under this Plan (but not in excess of the amount thereof for such calendar year) and to have such amount (together with any income allocable to such amount during such calendar year) distributed to him. A Member must make such an election in writing to the Administrative Committee not later than January 31 of the next succeeding calendar year. Distribution of such excess amount (and allocable income thereon) shall be made not later than April 15 following such January 31. The amount which may be distributed pursuant to this sub-section for any calendar year shall be reduced by the amount of any excess Tax-Deferred Contributions previously distributed pursuant to sub-section 4.2(b)(3) for the Plan Year beginning in such calendar year.
4.3   After-Tax Contributions of from 1% to 25% in 1% increments, of Compensation may be elected by any Member; provided, however, that the minimum rate of After-Tax Contributions shall be 2% rather than 1% unless the Member elects to make Tax-Deferred Contributions of at least 1% of Compensation; and provided further, that such contributions shall be subject to the following:
  (a)   Up to the first 6% of After-Tax Contributions elected by a Member are sometimes referred to herein as “Basic After-Tax Contributions.” A Member may make Basic After-Tax Contributions only to the extent that the sum of his Basic Tax-Deferred Contribution rate and his Basic After-Tax Contribution rate does not exceed 6% of his Compensation.
  (b)   A Member who is making and continues to make either Basic Tax-Deferred or Basic After-Tax Contributions, or both, which in the aggregate are at least 6% of the Member’s Compensation, may also make “Supplemental After-Tax Contributions” to the Plan from his Compensation for each pay period by payroll deduction; provided, however, that in no event may the sum of the Member’s Tax-Deferred and After-Tax Contributions exceed 25% of his Compensation.
  (c)   Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.3, Members who are determined by the Administrative Committee to be Highly Compensated Employees may elect a rate of After-Tax Contributions only if such rate is equal to or less than the maximum After-Tax Contribution rate permitted for such Members which the Administrative Committee believes is likely

16


 

      to cause the Plan to satisfy the Actual Contribution Percentage Test described in sub-section 5.2(b). The Administrative Committee’s determinations pursuant to this Section 4.3 shall be final and shall not be subject to question by the Employers, the Trustee, the Insurance Company or any Member or group of Members.
4.4   Subject to Sections 4.2 and 4.3, a Member may change his rate of Tax-Deferred or After-Tax Contributions at least once a month by calling the Siemens Benefit Service Center or by any other method prescribed by the Administrative Committee.
4.5   A Member who ceases to be eligible as an Employee, but who remains in the employment of an Employer or an Affiliated Company other than an Employer, shall have his Tax-Deferred and After-Tax Contributions automatically suspended as of the date of such change of employment status. Such Member’s Tax-Deferred and After-Tax Contributions may be resumed upon his again becoming an eligible Employee. Such an Employee may not make up suspended Contributions.
4.6   Except as may otherwise apply under Section 414(u) of the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations hereunder, a Member shall not be entitled to make Contributions, other than a Rollover Contribution, to the Plan, and no deduction shall be made pursuant to his payroll deduction authorization, for any period in which he is not receiving Compensation. In addition, no Tax-Deferred Contributions, other than a Rollover Contribution, shall be made on behalf of such Member during any such period.
4.7   The Employers shall pay to the Trustee the amount of Members’ Tax-Deferred and After-Tax Contributions for each month as soon as such amounts can reasonably be segregated from the Employer’s assets, and in no event later than the fifteenth business day of the month following the month in which the contributions are withheld by the Employer.
4.8   Payment of After-Tax Contributions, Tax-Deferred Contributions and Employer Contributions to the Plan as prescribed in Articles IV and V shall constitute the funding policy and method of the Plan.
4.9   The Siemens Retirement Plan gave a member of that plan the right to elect to transfer certain amounts from that plan directly to an account under this Plan. If an individual made such an election in accordance with the provisions of the Siemens Retirement Plan, the transferred amounts were paid to the Trustee hereunder and are treated as Supplemental After-Tax Contributions for the purposes of this Plan, subject, however, to the following exceptions:
  (1)   The transfer was permitted even if the individual was

17


 

      not otherwise permitted to make Supplemental After-Tax Contributions under this Plan;
  (2)   The transfer did not affect the amount of the Supplemental After-Tax Contributions that the individual was otherwise permitted to make pursuant to this Article IV; and
(3) The transferred amounts were disregarded for the purposes of Section 6.8.
4.10   An Employee (whether or not he is otherwise a Member) may make a Rollover Contribution to the Plan at any time consisting of a “Qualified Plan Rollover Contribution” or a “Qualified Plan Transfer Contribution” as hereinafter prescribed:
  (a)   “Qualified Plan Rollover Contribution” means any amount received by an individual from a profit-sharing, pension or stock bonus plan meeting the requirements of Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code, from a qualified annuity plan meeting the requirements of Section 403(a) of the Internal Revenue Code, from an individual retirement account meeting the requirements of Section 408(a) of the Internal Revenue Code or from an individual retirement annuity meeting the requirements of Section 408(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, which is transferred to this Plan in a tax-free rollover satisfying the requirements of Section 402(c), Section 403(a)(4) or Section 408(d)(3)(A)(ii) of the Internal Revenue Code.
  (b)   “Qualified Plan Transfer Contribution” means any amount transferred directly to this Plan on behalf of an individual from a profit-sharing, pension or stock bonus plan meeting the requirements of Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code.
No Rollover Contribution shall be accepted until the Administrative Committee has determined to its satisfaction based on the facts submitted by the Employee making the Rollover Contribution that the amount transferred meets the applicable requirements of subparagraph (a) or (b) above. The Administrative Committee may prescribe such rules and regulations governing the making of Rollover Contributions as it may deem desirable. Any Qualified Plan Rollover Contribution shall be credited to the applicable Employee’s Rollover Contribution Account. Amounts transferred to this Plan in a Qualified Plan Transfer Contribution shall retain their characterization as contributions pursuant to a qualified cash or deferred arrangement described in Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code, matched and unmatched after-tax employee contributions, matching and other employer contributions, rollover contributions, and earnings

18


 

thereon, and shall be credited accordingly to the applicable Employee’s Tax-Deferred Contribution Account, Basic or Supplemental After-Tax Contribution Account, Employer Contribution Account and Rollover Contribution Account. Except to the extent that the context indicates otherwise, the term “Member” as used in this Plan shall be deemed to include each Employee who has made a Rollover Contribution to this Plan irrespective of whether such Employee shall have become a Member pursuant to Article III; provided, however, that in no event shall an Employee who has not become a Member pursuant to Article III be entitled to make Tax-Deferred Contributions pursuant to Section 4.2 or After-Tax Contributions pursuant to Section 4.3, or to share in Employer Contributions pursuant to Article V prior to so becoming a Member pursuant to Article III. Rollover Contributions shall be disregarded for purposes of Section 6.8. In no event may any Member make more than one Rollover Contribution from any one plan to this Plan.
Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section to the contrary, effective March 1, 2001, an Employee whose employment with all Affiliated Companies is terminated shall be able to rollover into the Siemens Savings Plan the amount of any lump sum distribution he may be entitled to receive from the Siemens Pension Plan.
4.11   Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Article IV to the contrary, Employees (other than Employees who become Delegates on or after January 1, 2002), who are hired on or after July 19, 2004 by an Employer will, as soon as administratively possible after the 30th day after they first become eligible to become a Member of the Siemens Savings Plan, automatically become Members and have deducted from their Compensation Tax-Deferred Contributions at 3% of their Compensation, unless and until the employee affirmatively indicates that he or she does not want to participate in the Plan or affirmatively elects to participate at a different contribution rate or on a basis other than as Tax-Deferred Contributions. These automatic contributions shall be placed in the Stable Value Fund of the Plan until such time as the employee indicates that the contribution is to be placed in another investment fund of the Plan. Such automatic contributions to the Siemens Savings Plan shall be subject to the other provisions of the Plan that are applicable to Tax-Deferred Contributions. Appropriate notices will be provided to employees in connection with the application of this Section 4.11.

19


 

ARTICLE V
EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTIONS
5.1 (a)   Each Employer shall make Employer Contributions to the Plan for each month equal to the percentage of the Basic Tax-Deferred and Basic After-Tax Contributions made by or on behalf of Members as applicable to Employees of that Employer as set forth in Annex A to the Plan, less any amount of forfeiture then to be applied to reduce such Employer Contributions pursuant to Article XII.
  (b)   Pursuant to sub-section 4.2(b)(3) or sub-section 5.2(c), if the Administrative Committee so determines, each Employer shall make an additional Employer Contribution sufficient in amount to cause the requirements of the Actual Deferral Percentage Test or the Actual Contribution Percentage Test to be satisfied. Such additional Employer Contribution shall be credited to the Tax-Deferred Contribution Accounts of Members who are not Highly Compensated Employees in the proportion that each such Member’s Tax-Deferred Contributions represent of total Tax-Deferred Contributions of all Members in this group for the Plan Year. Employer Contributions made pursuant to this sub-section shall constitute “qualified matching contributions” or additional “matching contributions” and shall satisfy the requirements of Section 1.401(k)-1(b)(3) or Section 1.401(m)-1(b)(2), as applicable, of the Treasury Regulations, which are hereby incorporated by this reference.
  (c)   This Plan is intended to constitute a profit-sharing plan as referred to in Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. Employer Contributions and Tax-Deferred Contributions may, however, be made without regard to the existence of current or accumulated profits as permitted by Section 401(a)(27) of the Internal Revenue Code.
5.2 (a)   The Administrative Committee shall determine the maximum permissible rate or amount of Employer and After-Tax Contributions to the Plan which the Administrative Committee believes is likely to cause the Plan to satisfy the Actual Contribution Percentage Test described below. The Administrative Committee’s determinations pursuant to this Section 5.2 shall be final and shall not be subject to question by the Employers, the Trustee, the Insurance Company or any Member or group of Members.
 
  (b)   The Actual Contribution Percentage Test requires that, for any Plan Year, the Actual Contribution Percentage

20


 

      for the eligible Employees who are Highly Compensated Employees shall not exceed the greater of (i) or (ii) as follows:
  (i)   The Actual Contribution Percentage for the eligible Employees other than Highly Compensated Employees, times 1.25, or
  (ii)   The Actual Contribution Percentage for the eligible Employees other than Highly Compensated Employees, times 2.0; provided, however, that the Actual Contribution Percentage for the Highly Compensated Employees may not exceed the Actual Contribution Percentage for the eligible Employees other than Highly Compensated Employees by more than two percentage points; provided, however, that the Actual Contribution Percentage for Highly Compensated Employees shall be further limited to the extent necessary to prevent the multiple use of the alternative limitation in sub-section 4.2(b)(2)(ii) and in paragraph (ii) above.
 
      The Actual Contribution Percentage for either specified group of eligible Employees for a Plan Year shall be the average of the ratios (calculated separately for each eligible Employee in such group) of the sum of (i) the amount of the Employer and After-Tax Contributions actually paid to the Plan on behalf of each such eligible Employee for such Plan Year, (ii) all other employee and matching contributions made on behalf of such eligible Employee for such Plan Year under any other plan aggregated with this Plan for purposes of Section 401(a)(4) or Section 410(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, and (iii) in the case of a Highly Compensated Employee, all other employee and matching contributions made on behalf of such eligible Employee for such Plan Year under any other plan subject to Section 401(m) of the Internal Revenue Code in which he is eligible (other than one which may not be aggregated with this Plan), to the eligible Employee’s compensation, as defined in Section 414(s) of the Internal Revenue Code, for such Plan Year. In addition, all or a portion of the Tax-Deferred Contributions actually paid to the Plan on behalf of eligible Employees other than Highly Compensated Employees may be taken into account in determining the Actual Contribution Percentage for such group, provided that the Plan continues to satisfy the Actual Deferral Percentage Test under sub-section 4.2(b)(2) without regard for such amount of Tax-Deferred Contributions taken into

21


 

      account hereunder. The Actual Contribution Percentage Test shall be calculated in accordance with Section 401(m) of the Internal Revenue Code and Treasury Regulations thereunder, which are hereby incorporated by this reference.
For purpose of performing the Actual Contribution Percentage Test under Section 5.2(b), current year data with regard to eligible Employees other that non Highly Compensated Employees shall be used.
  (c)   In the event that at the end of the Plan Year it is determined that the Plan would otherwise fail to satisfy the Actual Contribution Percentage Test for that Plan Year, or to prevent multiple use of the alternative limitation, the Administrative Committee may determine either (i) that an additional Employer Contribution shall be made pursuant to sub-section 5.1(b) or (ii) to reduce the amount of Contributions allocated to the Accounts of Highly Compensated Employees in a manner similar to that set forth in sub-section 4.2(b)(3)(ii), and to have such amounts (together with any income allocable to such amounts for such Plan Year) paid to such Highly Compensated Employees in accordance with Section 401(m) of the Internal Revenue Code and Treasury Regulations thereunder, to the extent the Administrative Committee deems necessary so as to cause the Plan to satisfy the Actual Contribution Percentage Test, such reduction to be made in the following order of priority:
  (i)   Supplemental After-Tax Contributions,
  (ii)   Basic After-Tax Contributions and corresponding Employer Contributions, and
  (iii)   Any additional excess Employer Contributions,
except that non-vested Employer Contributions shall not be paid but shall be forfeited and applied under Article XII. The earnings (or losses) allocable to excess contributions shall be determined by multiplying the earnings (or losses) allocable to the Highly Compensated Employee’s After-Tax Contributions and Employer Contributions on his behalf for the Plan Year by a fraction, the numerator of which is the excess contribution on behalf of the Highly Compensated Employee for the Plan Year and the denominator of which is the sum of the Highly Compensated Employee’s After-Tax Contributions and Employer Contributions Account balances on the last day of the Plan Year reduced by the earnings (or increased by the losses) allocable to such account balances for the Plan Year. Any amounts to be distributed to a Highly Compensated Employee

22


 

pursuant to this sub-section 5.2(c) shall be made within 12 months after the close of the Plan Year in which the Plan failed to satisfy the Actual Contribution Percentage Test.
5.3   As soon as practicable after the posting of the Employee’s Basic Tax-Deferred Contributions or Basic After-Tax Contributions to the Employee’s Accounts by the Plan’s recordkeeper, each Employer shall pay or transfer to the Trustee the amount of its Employer Contribution for such month prescribed by Section 5.1.
ARTICLE VI
MEMBERS’ ACCOUNTS
6.1   There shall be established and maintained for each Member, to the extent applicable:
  (a)   a Basic After-Tax Contribution Account;
  (b)   a Tax-Deferred Contribution Account;
  (c)   an Employer Contribution Account;
  (d)   a Supplemental After-Tax Contribution Account,
  (e)   a Supplemental Tax-Deferred Contribution Account,
  (f)   a Rollover Contribution Account, and
  (g)   a GSOP Account
6.2   The Administrative Committee shall establish and maintain (or cause to be established and maintained) the applicable Accounts for each Member.
6.3   The amount of a Member’s Basic After-Tax Contributions shall be credited to his Basic After-Tax Contribution Account.
6.4   The amount of a Member’s Basic and Supplemental Tax-Deferred Contributions shall be credited to his Tax-Deferred Contribution Account.
6.5   The amount of a Member’s Supplemental After-Tax Contributions shall be credited to his Supplemental After-Tax Contribution Account.
6.6   The aggregate amount of an Employer’s Contributions, including the amount of forfeitures then to be applied to reduce the Contributions of such Employer pursuant to Article XII, shall be credited to the Employer Contribution Accounts of Members employed by such Employer, in amounts equal to the appropriate percentage of each Member’s Basic Tax-Deferred and Basic After-Tax Contributions determined pursuant to Section 5.1, when credited pursuant to sub-section 6.7(2).

23


 

6.7   As of the end of each business day, the net worth of the assets of each investment fund under Article VII of the Plan shall be determined. In determining such net worth, the assets of the investment fund shall be valued at their fair market value as of such valuation day and any liabilities or other amounts properly chargeable against such investment fund shall be deducted. The assets of the investment fund shall be allocated among the account balances of Members in the investment fund in the following manner:
  (1)   The balance for each Member in the investment fund as of the preceding business day, after reduction by any withdrawals or distributions made as of such day (the “opening balance”) shall be determined.
  (2)   The opening balance shall be increased by and credited with the dollar amount of Contributions credited to the investment fund since the preceding business day, (the “adjusted balance”), and shall include all deductions from all paychecks preceding that day that have been posted to the Plan.
  (3)   The fair market value of the investment fund on the day of valuation shall be apportioned to each Member in the ratio that the adjusted account balance for such Member as of the day of valuation bears to the total of the adjusted balances in the investment fund as of such valuation date. The fair market value of a guaranteed income or guaranteed accumulation contract issued by an Insurance Company or of an interest thereunder shall be measured by the amount held under such contract or in respect of such interest as reported by the Insurance Company.
6.8 (a)   The term “Account Addition” means, for any Member for any limitation year, the sum of:
  (1)   the Employer Contributions and Tax-Deferred Contributions under this Plan for the Member’s Accounts including any adjustment under Article XII, plus any employer contribution allocated to the Member’s account under any other defined contribution plan (as described in Section 414(i) of the Internal Revenue Code), any individual medical account (as described in Section 415(1) of the Internal Revenue Code) or any key employee’s post-retirement medical benefit account (as described in Section 419A(d) of the Internal Revenue Code) maintained by an Employer or an Affiliated Company,
  (2)   the Member’s After-Tax Contributions under this

24


 

      Plan, plus any employee contribution allocated to the Member’s account under any other plan maintained by an Employer or an Affiliated Company, and
  (3)   forfeitures allocated to the Member’s account under any other defined contribution plan maintained by an Employer or an Affiliated Company.
  (b)   Effective for limitation years beginning after December 31, 2001, the total Account Addition for any Member for any limitation year shall not exceed the lesser of:
  (1)   $40,000 (as adjusted for cost of living increases as provided in Section 415(d) of the Internal Revenue Code pursuant to regulations thereof); or
  (2)   100% of the Member’s total compensation (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation §1.415-2(d)) for such limitation year.
If a Member’s Account Addition for any limitation year exceeds the foregoing limitation, his Supplemental After-Tax Contributions for the Plan Year (and allocable income thereon) shall be reduced and returned to the Member. If, after returning such contributions to the Member, an excess still exists, his Basic After-Tax Contributions and the related Employer Contributions for the Plan Year (and allocable income thereon) shall then be reduced proportionately; such Basic After-Tax Contributions shall be refunded to him as soon as practicable. If further reduction is necessary, his Tax-Deferred Contributions and any related Employer Contributions for the Plan Year (and allocable income thereon) shall be reduced proportionately; such Tax-Deferred Contributions shall be refunded to him as soon as practicable. The amount of any reduction in Employer Contributions and income allocable to any reduction in Contributions shall be held in the Fund and shall be applied under Article XII to reduce subsequent Employer Contributions.
Effective for limitation years beginning after December 31, 1997, compensation for purposes of Section 415(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code includes elective deferrals under Sections 125, 402(g)(3), 402(h)(l)(B), 403(b), and 457(b) of the Internal Revenue Code and employee contributions described in Section 401(h) of the Internal Revenue Code which are treated as employer contributions, and, for Plan Years

25


 

beginning after December 31, 2000, such compensation also includes qualified transportation benefits under Section 132(f)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code.
  (c)   For purposes of this Section 6.8, the limitation year shall be the Plan Year. All defined contribution plans (whether or not terminated) maintained by an Employer or an Affiliated Company shall be treated as one defined contribution plan, provided that for purposes of this Section 6.8, “Affiliated Company” shall have the meaning set forth in sub-section 2.1(b) except that the phrase “more than 50 percent” shall be substituted for the phrase “at least 80 percent” in each place such latter phrase appears in Section 1563(a)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code referenced in Section 414(b) thereof.
  (d)   The combined limitation that was in effect pursuant to Section 415(e) of the Internal Revenue Code for limitation years beginning prior to January 1, 2000 ceased to apply to this Plan (and to plans merged into this Plan) for limitation years beginning on or after January 1, 2000.
ARTICLE VII
INVESTMENT FUNDS
7.1   Each Member shall be entitled to direct that Contributions to be credited to his Accounts shall be invested (in integral multiples of 1%) in one or more of the Stable Value Investment Option, the LifeCycle Investment Portfolios, the Siemens AG Stock Investment Option, U.S. Large Cap Stock Investment Option, U.S. Small Cap Stock Investment Option, Non U.S. Developed Markets Stock Investment Option, Non U.S. Emerging Markets Investment Option, Core Bond Investment Option, High Yield Bond Investment Option, and/or the Self-Directed Brokerage Account Investment Option. A Rollover Contribution made by a Member to the Plan shall be invested in accordance with the last investment directions the Member has made, as an active Member of the Plan, with respect to contributions credited to his account in the Plan.
In the absence of a Member’s direction as to the investment of Contributions credited to his Accounts, such Contributions shall be invested 100% in the Stable Value Fund.
Each Member may also elect to change prospectively his investment funds and the amount to be invested in a particular investment fund for amounts that have already been contributed to his Accounts, in any dollar amount, without any limitation on the frequency of such elections, by calling the Siemens Benefits Service Center or by any

26


 

other method prescribed by the Administrative Committee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Committee may place a restriction on the amount of time during which an amount transferred to a particular investment option from another investment option in the Plan must remain in that investment option, before it can be transferred to another investment option in the Plan.
7.2   Stable Value Investment Option
Amounts allocated to the Stable Value Investment Option are invested in a diversified portfolio of investment contracts with insurance companies, banks, or other financial institutions. The rate paid on the Stable Value Investment Option is the average yield being earned by all of the investments and changes on a daily basis to reflect variations in the average rate being earned on the investments. It is designed to provide a steadily increasing principal value.
7.3   LifeCycle Investment Portfolios
The LifeCycle Investment portfolios are a family of five diversified mutual funds designed to meet long-term investment goals based on various time horizons. Each LifeCycle portfolio carries a date, indicating the year when the Member is expected to begin withdrawing his assets. Each LifeCycle portfolio aims for its highest returns early in its life, and then gradually shifts into an increasingly conservative investment mix. The Investment Manager for these investment portfolios evaluates the risks and potential rewards of the different asset classes and may adjust the investment mix to maximize investment returns as appropriate for the portfolios’ investment time periods. Interest and dividends earned by each portfolio are re-invested in that portfolio.
7.4   Siemens AG Stock Investment Option
The objective of the Siemens AG Stock Investment Option is to track the performance of Siemens AG ordinary shares. Amounts allocated to this investment option will be invested in Siemens AG American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”), which are traded on the New York Stock Exchange and evidenced by Siemens American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”). The value of this investment option is determined by the market price of Siemens ADSs, which is expected to closely track the market price of Siemens AG ordinary shares as traded in other markets. Amounts allocated to this investment option are invested solely in Siemens ADRs except for a small amount of cash held for liquidity purposes. This investment option is not an actively managed fund and its investments are made without regard to stock price or investment outlook. Cash dividends on Siemens AG ordinary shares are allocated to

27


 

investors in this investment option in cash at the rate of 85% of the full dividend due to foreign withholding taxes. Since dividends are reinvested in units, the number of units in this investment option will increase when dividends are paid.
7.5   U.S. Large Cap Stock Investment Option
Amounts allocated to the U.S. Large Cap Stock Investment Option are invested in one or more portfolios whose objective is to seek to achieve long-term capital growth while generating returns that are generally higher than U.S. large capitalization stock market averages as measured by the benchmark Standard & Poor’s 500 Index. The U.S. Large Cap Stock Investment Option aims to achieve this by investing in a widely diversified portfolio of select stocks issued primarily by large and medium-sized companies. In order to reduce the variability of this option relative to the S&P 500 index, and to minimize investment management fees, approximately 75% of the amounts held under this option will be invested in an S&P 500 Index portfolio.
7.6   U.S. Small Cap Stock Investment Option
Amounts allocated to the U.S. Small Cap Stock Investment Option are invested in one or more portfolios whose objective is to increase the value of the participant’s original investment over the long term, primarily through investments in a diverse group of small U.S. companies whose securities are traded in the U.S. securities markets. This option has as its benchmark the Russell 2500 Index.
7.7   Non U.S. Developed Markets Stock Investment Option
Amounts allocated to the Non U.S. Developed Markets Stock Investment Option are invested in one or more portfolios whose objective is to achieve long-term capital growth by investing in the securities of companies that are based outside the U.S., and traded on or located in what are generally regarded as developed equity markets. These countries are considered to have well-developed, smoothly functioning capital markets and an underlying legal structure that supports financial investment. This option’s market performance benchmark is the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australasia, Far East (MSCI EAFE) index. In addition to the risks associated with investment in equity securities, this option carries with it risks attributable to exposure to fluctuation in foreign currencies.
7.8   Non U.S. Emerging Markets Stock Investment Option
Amounts allocated to the Non U.S. Emerging Markets Stock Investment Option are invested in one or more portfolios

28


 

whose objective is to achieve long-term capital growth by investing in securities of companies that are based outside the U.S., and traded on or located in what are generally regarded as emerging equity and financial markets. In addition to the risks associated with investment in equity securities, this option carries with it risks attributable to exposure to fluctuation in foreign currencies, and risks associated with less highly developed securities markets, including political and operational risks. Designation as an emerging market is determined by a number of factors such as gross domestic product per capital; local government regulations; perceived investment risk; foreign ownership limits and capital controls; or the general perception of the investment community when determining an ‘emerging’ classification of a market (Source: Morgan Stanley Capital International). This option’s performance benchmark is the MSCI Emerging Markets Free Index.
7.9   Core Bond Investment Option
Amounts allocated to the Core Bond Investment Option are invested in one or more portfolios whose objective is to realize a total return that exceeds that of Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, while maintaining overall risk which is similar to this index. Under this investment option, amounts are invested in a variety of investment grade fixed income securities, and the market performance benchmark is the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index. Investments under this option include, but are not limited to, fixed-income securities issued by the U.S. Government and Agencies, corporations, mortgage-backed issuers, asset-backed issuers, U.S. dollar-denominated securities of foreign issuers, and preferred stocks.
7.10   High Yield Bond Investment Option
Amounts allocated to the High Yield Bond Investment Option are invested in one or more portfolios whose objective is to earn high current income by investing in a diversified portfolio of below-investment grade income securities. A secondary objective is capital appreciation. The average maturity of the portfolio and credit rating of the investment under this option are expected to approximate those of the Merrill Lynch Master High Yield Master II Bond Index. Investments under this option include, but are not limited to, investments in public and corporate fixed-income securities, U.S. dollars fixed income securities of foreign issuers, convertible securities, zero-coupon securities and preferred stocks.
7.11   Self-Directed Brokerage Account Investment Option
This option allows Members to invest through a self directed brokerage account (SDB) through Hewitt Financial Services.

29


 

The SDB account gives Members who want to build and manage their own portfolios an opportunity to invest in a wide range of mutual funds and individual stocks. A Member must leave a minimum balance of $500 in investments in the Plan other than an SDB account or the “Let’s Share” account in order to open and maintain an SDB account, not taking into account changes in the value of accounts other than the SDB account, and, until December 20, 2006, the “Let’s Share” account that are due solely to market fluctuations in the value of these accounts. Transfers from other investment options in the Plan are the only method a Member has available to invest in an SDB account. Member contributions to the Plan directly from a Member’s paycheck cannot be directed into an SDB account. A Member should not consider this option unless the Member is a sophisticated investor who is willing to take on additional risk and is prepared to assume responsibility for closely monitoring their investments in the SDB account.
ARTICLE VIII
VESTING
8.1   The Tax-Deferred, Basic After-Tax, Supplemental After-Tax and Rollover Contribution Accounts of each Member are at all times 100% vested and non-forfeitable.
8.2   Except as provided in Sections 8.3 and 8.4, a Member shall vest in his Employer Contribution Account based upon the number of years of his Continuous Employment (excluding Continuous Employment disregarded pursuant to sub-section 2.1(i)) in accordance with the following schedule:
         
Years of Continuous Employment   Vested Percentage  
Less than 2 years

8.3   Notwithstanding Section 8.2, upon the occurrence of any of the following events, a Member shall become 100% vested in amounts credited to his Employer Contribution Account to and including the date of such event:
  (a)   Retirement;
  (b)   death or termination of the Member’s service with all Employers by reason of Disability;
  (c)   termination of the Plan, partial termination of the Plan which directly affects the Member, or complete discontinuance of contributions;

30


 

  (d)   permanent layoff; or
  (e)   transfer without intervening employment to the employ of an Affiliated Company which is not an Employer and which is not located in the United States.
8.4   A Member who ceases to be an eligible Employee without termination of his employment by an Employer will continue to be deemed a Member of the Plan for purposes of vesting in his Employer Contribution Account for as long as he remains in the employment of an Employer or of an Affiliated Company which is not an Employer.
8.5   In the case of a Member who has his Accounts transferred to this Plan in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.1 of this Plan, such Member’s vested portion of such Accounts shall be determined in accordance with the vesting provisions of Article VIII of the Plan taking into account all the years of Continuous Employment such Member has.
ARTICLE IX
LOANS
9.1 (a) The Administrative Committee is hereby authorized to establish and administer a program of making loans to Members in the active service of an Employer, or former Members who are still employed by an Affiliated Company, from such Members’ respective Accounts in accordance with this Article IX. A Member who is the active service of an Employer, and a former Member who is still employed by an Affiliated Company, may borrow from the Plan an amount which does not exceed the smallest of:
  (i)   $50,000 minus the excess of (i) the highest outstanding loan balance of the Member during the twelve months immediately preceding the business day as of which the loan is made over (ii) the outstanding balance of loans from the Plan on the date on which such loan is made, or
  (ii)   50% of the balance of the Member’s vested Accounts determined as of the day preceding the date as of which the loan is made, minus the outstanding balance of the Member’s loans on such date, or
  (iii)   such lesser maximum as the Administrative Committee may establish to apply uniformly to all loans under the Plan.
  (b)   The minimum amount of any loan shall be $1,000.
  (c)   The term of any loan shall not exceed the lesser of (i)

31


 

      four years, or (ii) the period required to amortize the loan by principal payments of $5 per week or $10 biweekly; except that a loan made specifically for the purpose of acquiring a dwelling unit which within a reasonable period of time (determined at the time the loan is made) will be used as the Member’s principal residence may be for a term not to exceed 30 years.
  (d)   Loans shall bear a reasonable rate of interest as the Administrative Committee may determine from time to time, in guidelines promulgated for such purpose and communicated to Members, in accordance with the provisions of Section 4975(d)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code, Section 408(b)(1) of the Act and the regulations thereunder, and other applicable legal requirements.
9.2   A Member may request only two loans from the Plan in any Plan Year. No more than two loans to any Member may be outstanding at any time.
9.3   A Member’s application for a loan shall consist of a note to the Trustee or Insurance Company establishing the Member’s personal liability therefor and an authorization for payroll deductions to the extent necessary to satisfy the principal and interest, in such forms as prescribed by the Administrative Committee. In addition, a Member requesting a loan for the purchase of a principal residence must submit with the loan application a copy of the executed purchase and sale contract with respect to such residence.
9.4   Loans shall be repaid by payroll deductions in equal installments computed to repay the principal and interest at the declared rate over the term of such loans. A lump sum repayment of the entire outstanding balance of a loan may be made by the Member at any time; however, partial prepayment shall not be permitted.
Loans from the Plan shall not operate to reduce a Member’s Accounts when made, but shall be considered a directed investment of such Accounts in the Member’s note to the Trustee or Insurance Company. Each loan shall be made from the Member’s balance in each of the investment funds in which his Accounts are then invested, determined as of the day before the day as of which the loan is made, (not including the Self-Directed Brokerage Account and, until December 20, 2006, the “Let’s Share” Contribution Account) in the proportion that the Member’s balance in each such fund (excluding the Self-Directed Brokerage Account and, until December 20, 2006, the “Let’s Share” Contribution Account) bears to the total of the Member’s balances in all such investment funds (excluding the Self-Directed Brokerage Account and, until December 20, 2006, the “Let’s Share” Contribution Account); and that if the Member has no

32


 

investment funds other than, until December 20, 2006, the “Let’s Share” Contribution Account and the Self-Directed Brokerage Account (except for the minimum balance needed in non Self-Directed Brokerage Account funds to open and maintain a Self-Directed Brokerage Account), the Member must first transfer money from his Self-Directed Brokerage Account into the Plan’s other investment funds before a loan can be made.
9.5   However, the making of a loan shall not be considered a change of investment election or a transfer election for the purposes of Section 7.1. Loans shall be considered as made from within each Member’s Accounts in the following order: Tax-Deferred Contribution Account, vested balance in Employer Contribution Account, Rollover Contribution Account, Basic After-Tax Contribution Account and Supplemental After-Tax Contribution Account. Repayment of loans shall be made to such Member’s Accounts in the inverse order from which they were considered as made, and shall be credited for investment in accordance with the Member’s investment election then in effect under Article VII.
9.6   Each Loan to a Member shall be secured by 50% of the Member’s vested Accounts and such other collateral that the Administrative Committee deems necessary or appropriate. In the event of default, the Tax-Deferred Contribution Account shall be considered the last account to be used for satisfaction of the loan balance if a distribution or withdrawal could not then be made from such account pursuant to Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code.
9.7   Anything in the Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, a Member shall not be permitted to make any withdrawal of funds which would reduce the aggregate balance of his vested Accounts below an amount equal to the outstanding principal balance (and accrued interest thereon) of his loans from the Plan.
9.8   In the event of termination of employment with all Employers, a Member’s loan balance and accrued interest shall become due and payable and, if such loan balance and interest is not repaid within 60 days after such termination of employment, the Member shall be in default on the loan and shall be deemed to have elected a withdrawal in the amount of such outstanding balance, and such deemed withdrawal shall be applied to satisfy the Member’s liability on the loan.
9.9   The Administrative Committee may prescribe such other terms and conditions for loans not inconsistent with the foregoing requirements as the Administrative Committee may deem desirable.

33


 

ARTICLE X
WITHDRAWALS
10.1   A Member, including a former Member who is still employed by an Affiliated Company, may make a withdrawal from his Basic After-Tax, Supplemental After-Tax or Rollover Contribution Account, or from the vested portion of his Employer Contribution Account, by calling the Siemens Benefit Service Center or by any other method prescribed by the Administrative Committee and the amount of a withdrawal must be at least $250 or 100% of the amount available for withdrawal if less than $250.
Withdrawals shall be made from within each Member’s Accounts in the following order: Supplemental After-Tax Contribution Account, Basic After-Tax Contribution Account, Rollover Contribution Account and Employer Contribution Account. Notwithstanding the foregoing, withdrawals from these Accounts shall be made from Supplemental and Basic After-Tax Contributions by the Member prior to January 1, 1987 until the balance of all such contributions is exhausted. Subsequent to withdrawal of all pre-1987 After-Tax Contributions, withdrawals from Supplemental After-Tax Contribution Accounts first, and thereafter from Basic After-Tax Contribution Accounts, shall be apportioned between After-Tax Contributions and earnings thereon in the proportion that the sum of the balance of After-Tax Contributions not withdrawn for all such accounts bears to the balance of earnings not withdrawn for all such accounts as of the date preceding the date the withdrawal is made. If a Member has been a member in the Plan, a predecessor plan or, with respect to a Member whose benefit under another plan was transferred to this Plan, such transferor plan, in the aggregate for less than five years and such Member elects to withdraw Basic After-Tax Contributions made to the Plan on or after January 1, 1987 or Employer Contributions made to the Plan within two years of the day as of which the withdrawal is to be made, Employer Contributions on behalf of the Member shall be suspended for a three-month period following the end of the month after the withdrawal is made.
Payments pursuant to a withdrawal election shall be made as soon as practicable after the election is approved. A Member may make only two withdrawals pursuant to this Section 10.1 in any Plan Year not including for this purpose a withdrawal in the event of a vesting occurrence described in Section 8.3.
10.2   A Member, including a former Member who is still employed by an Affiliated Company, who has reached age 59 1/2, must withdraw his Contributions in the order set forth in the first sentence of the second paragraph of Section 10.1, but the number of such withdrawals shall not be limited in any year.

34


 

10.3   A Member, including a former Member who is still employed by an Affiliated Company, who has not reached age 591/2 may, by calling the Siemens Benefit Service Center or by any other method prescribed by the Administrative Committee, request a withdrawal of an amount not greater than the balance of his Tax-Deferred Contribution Account (but not including any Contributions credited to such account pursuant to sub-section 5.1(b) or any earnings in such account credited after December 31, 1988) as of the last business day preceding the date his withdrawal is made, but only on account of hardship. For the purposes of this Section 10.3, a withdrawal will be on account of hardship if the distribution is necessary in light of immediate and heavy financial needs of the Member. The determination of the existence of financial hardship and the amount required to be distributed to meet the need created by the hardship shall be made by the Administrative Committee in accordance with uniform and nondiscriminatory standards consistent with Treasury Regulations § 1.401(k)-1. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, a distribution will be deemed to be made on account of an immediate and heavy financial need if the distribution is on account of any of the conditions so described under Treasury Regulations § 1.401(k)-1 or published IRS rulings at the time a withdrawal on account of hardship is requested, including but not limited to non-reimbursed medical expenses, tuition for post-secondary education, purchase of a primary residence and prevention of eviction from or foreclosure on the mortgage of a primary residence. A Member who makes a hardship withdrawal pursuant to this Section 10.3 shall have taken all available loans and withdrawals under the Plan and all other plans maintained by the Company and its Affiliated Companies.
A withdrawal shall be deemed necessary if
  (a)   the Administrative Committee receives from the Member a representation that the need cannot reasonably be relieved
  (i)   Through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise,
  (ii)   By liquidation of the assets of the Member, including assets of the Member’s spouse or minor children that are reasonably available to the Member,
  (iii)   By cessation of Tax-Deferred Contributions and After-Tax Contributions under the Plan, or
  (iv)   By other distributions or nontaxable (at the time

35


 

      of the loan) loans from plans maintained by the Employer or by any other employer, or by borrowing from commercial sources on reasonable commercial terms in an amount sufficient to satisfy the need, and
  (b)   the Administrative Committee does not have actual knowledge to the contrary.
For purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, a need cannot reasonably be relieved by one of the actions listed above if the effect would be to increase the amount of the need.
10.4   When a withdrawal is made under the Plan, the amount of such withdrawal shall be paid from a Member’s balance in each of the investment funds in which the Member’s Accounts are then invested determined as of the last business day preceding the date as of which the withdrawal is made (not including the Self-Directed Brokerage Account and, until December 20, 2006, the “Let’s Share” Contribution Account) and the amount of the withdrawal in all cases shall be paid ratably from each of the investment funds in the proportion that each such fund (excluding the Self-Directed Brokerage Account and, until December 20, 2006, the “Let’s Share” Contribution Account) bears to the total of the Member’s balances in all such investment funds (excluding the Self-Directed Brokerage Account and the “Let’s Share” Contribution Account); and that if the Member has no investment funds other than, until December 20, 2006, the “Let’s Share” Contribution Account and the Self-Directed Brokerage Account (except for the minimum balance needed in non Self-Directed Brokerage Account funds to open and maintain a Self-Directed Brokerage Account), the Member must first transfer money from his Self-Directed Brokerage Account into the Plan’s other investment funds before a withdrawal can be taken.
ARTICLE XI
DISTRIBUTIONS
11.1   (a) Upon a termination of service with all Employers by a Member who is 100% vested in his Employer Contribution Account, except by reason of the death of the Member, and subject to the provisions of sub-section 11.1(d), the Member shall have distributed to him the amounts credited to his Accounts as soon as practicable following such termination of service; provided that, if the amounts so credited exceed $1,000 for this Plan and plans merged into this Plan (“Applicable Dollar Amount”), the Member may elect to delay distribution (and no distribution may be made prior to the end of the calendar year in which the Member attains age 70 1/2

36


 

absent his election to receive a distribution) in which case the amounts credited to his Accounts shall be distributed as of such subsequent date as the Member may elect in accordance with Section 11.3 subject to the limitations set forth in Section 11.6. For purposes of determining if the Applicable Dollar Amount is exceeded, the value of a Member’s nonforfeitable account balance shall be determined without regard to that portion of the account balance that is attributable to rollover contributions (and earnings allocable thereto) within the meaning of Sections 402(c), 403(a)(4), 403(b)(8), 408(d)(3)(A)(ii), and 457(e)(16) of the Internal Revenue Code.
The Applicable Dollar Amount of $1,000 shall be increased to $5,000 effective March 15, 2007. Effective March 15, 2007 in the event of a mandatory distribution greater than $1,000, in accordance with the provisions of this Article XI, if the Member does not elect to have such distribution paid directly to an eligible rollover or to receive the distribution directly in accordance with this Article XI, then the plan administrator will pay the distribution in a direct rollover to an individual retirement plan designated by the plan administrator.
(b) Upon a vesting occurrence described in sub-section 8.3(c), there shall be distributed to each affected Member, in a single lump sum payment, the amounts credited to his Accounts as soon as possible following, such vesting occurrence.
(c) Upon a Member’s termination of service by reason of death, there shall be distributed to his Beneficiary, in accordance with Section 11.3, the amounts credited to such Member’s Accounts as soon as possible following such Member’s death.
(d) A Member who terminates employment with all Employers, but who is transferred without intervening employment to the employ of an Affiliated Company located in the United States which is not an Employer, shall not be entitled to a distribution of his Accounts pursuant to sub-section 11.1(a) until the termination of his employment with such Affiliated Company (or any other Affiliated Company located in the United States to which he is subsequently transferred without intervening employment), but he shall be entitled to elect, in lieu of any other benefit or form of distribution payable under the Plan, to have the amounts credited to his Accounts transferred directly to a thrift or savings plan maintained by the Affiliated Company which employs such Member, subject to the acceptance of such transferred amounts by the administrator of such thrift or savings plan.
11.2   Upon a termination of service with all Affiliated Companies

37


 

by a Member who is not 100% vested in his Employer Contribution Account, there shall be distributed to him, in accordance with Section 11.3, the amounts credited to his Basic After-Tax Contribution, Basic Tax-Deferred Contribution, Supplemental After-Tax Contribution, Supplemental Tax-Deferred Contribution and Rollover Contribution Accounts and the vested balance (which may be zero) in his Employer Contribution Account as soon as practicable following, the date of such termination of service. The non-vested balance in his Employer Contribution Account shall be forfeited as soon as possible following, the Member’s termination of service and applied as permitted in Article XII. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, if the vested balance in the Member’s Accounts exceeds the Applicable Dollar Amount (as defined in sub-section 11.1(a) of the Plan, then (a) such distribution shall not be made to the Member prior to the end of the calendar year in which he attains age 70 1/2, unless such Member requests an earlier distribution, and (b) the non-vested balance in such Member’s Employer Contribution Account shall not be forfeited prior to the earlier to occur of (i) the distribution of the Member’s entire vested Accounts or (ii) the Member’s incurring a five-year break in service (as hereinafter defined). Effective March 15, 2007, the Applicable Dollar Amount shall be increased to $5,000 and shall be subject to the other provisions of the last paragraph of sub-Section 11.1(a).
If (a) a Member’s service with all Affiliated Companies terminates under circumstances covered by this Section 11.2 prior to becoming fully vested in his Employer Contribution Account, and (b) he is subsequently rehired by an Employer or an Affiliated Company prior to incurring a five-year break in service, there shall be re-credited to his Accounts, as soon as practicable following his date of rehire, the amount of the non-vested balance in his Employer Contribution Account forfeited by him (without interest) and he shall thereafter be treated as if his service had not theretofore terminated. The amount so to be re-credited to Members’ Accounts in a Plan Year shall be deducted from any forfeitures for such Plan Year and, to the extent such forfeitures are not sufficient, Employer Contributions shall be increased.
If (a) a Member’s service with all Affiliated Companies terminates under circumstances covered by this Section 11.2 prior to becoming fully vested in his Employer Contribution Account, and (b) he is subsequently rehired after incurring a five-year break in service, he shall be eligible to re-participate in the Plan on his date of reemployment but shall have no right to have re-credited to his Accounts any amount forfeited by him by reason of the termination of service. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no forfeiture under the Plan shall occur after termination of the Plan or

38


 

complete discontinuance of contributions as provided in Section 17.2.
For this purpose, a five-year break in service is a period of 60 consecutive months, beginning with the date on which the Member’s Continuous Employment ceases and during which the Member does not resume Continuous Employment. In determining whether a Member has a five-year break in service, the first 24 months of any Maternity or Paternity Absence shall be disregarded.
11.3   Distribution of Accounts.
The distribution of Accounts under this Plan shall be governed by the following rules:
  (a)   Termination of service described in Section 11.2. A distribution of Accounts pursuant to Section 11.2 in the event of termination of service with all Affiliated Companies by a Member who is not 100% vested in his Employer Contribution Account can be made under any of the payment methods set forth in Section 11.3 (b).
  (b)   Vesting occurrence other than death. Any distribution of Accounts, pursuant to Section 11.1, to a Member who is 100% vested in his Employer Contribution Account, except by reason of death, and subject to the provisions of sub-section 11.1(d), shall be made, subject to sub-section 11.3(b) and Section 11.6, in one of the following ways selected by the Member, commencing, in each case, as soon as practicable after, the amount to be distributed is determined and provided, however, that if the aggregate value of a Member’s Accounts does not exceed the Applicable Dollar Amount (as defined in sub-section 11.1(a) and subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of sub-section 11.1(a))the distribution will be made only in one lump sum:
  (i)   in one lump sum payable at any time up to the end of the calendar year in which the Member attains age 70 1/2; or
  (ii)   in part in one lump sum with the balance in installments, commencing no later than the end of the calendar year in which the member attains age 70 1/2; or
  (iii)   in installments, commencing no later than the end of the calendar year in which the Member attains age 70 1/2; or
  (iv)   up to two partial lump sum payments each calendar year, as selected by the Member, until

39


 

      the Member’s Accounts in the Plan are fully distributed, provided, however, that if the Member’s Accounts have not been fully distributed by the end of the calendar year in which the Member attains age 70 1/2, the balance shall be distributed commencing by the end of the calendar year in which the Member attains age 70 1/2 in one lump sum or in installments.
In no event, however, may any payment pursuant to this sub-section (ii) be payable over a period extending beyond the life expectancy of the Member or the joint life and last survivor expectancy of the Member and his spouse. The amount of any distribution to be made in installments shall be held in such Investment Funds under the Plan as elected by the Member, participating proportionately in the gains, losses, income and expenses of such Funds during the distribution period. A Member who is to receive distributions in installments may elect to receive monthly or annual installments. If distributions are made in monthly installments, the amount of each monthly installment shall be determined as of the day of distribution, by dividing the amount then remaining on hand for distribution by the number of monthly installments yet to be made. If distributions are made in annual installments, the amount of each annual installment shall be determined as of the date as of which distributions commence and as of each anniversary thereof by dividing the amount then remaining on hand for distribution by the number of annual installments yet to be made.
A Member who has not commenced receiving payments from his Accounts may change his selection of payment methods under this sub-section by calling the Siemens Benefit Service Center or by any other means prescribed by the Administrative Committee.
  (c)   Death.
  A.   If (i) the Member dies before any payments of his Accounts in the Plan have been made to him and the aggregate value of the Member’s Accounts does not exceed the Applicable Dollar Amount (as defined in sub-section 11.1 (a) and subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of sub-Section 11.1(a)) or (ii) the Member dies after payments of his Accounts in the Plan have commenced and there is still a remaining amount in the member’s Accounts in the Plan, the Member’s Beneficiary may select a

40


 

      distribution of the Member’s Accounts in one of the following ways:
     (1) in one lump sum; and (a) if the Beneficiary is the spouse, the lump sum can be payable at any time up to the later of the end of the calendar year in which the Member would have attained age 70 1/2 or the end of the calendar year in which the Member dies or (b) if the Beneficiary is not the Member’s spouse, the lump sum shall be payable by no later than the end of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Member dies; or
     (2) in part in one lump sum with the balance in installments; over a period not to exceed the life expectancy of the Beneficiary, and (a) if the Beneficiary is Member’s spouse, the installments shall commence no later than the later of the end of the calendar year in which the Member would have attained age 70 1/2 or the end of the calendar year in which the Member dies or (b) if the Beneficiary is not the Member’s spouse, the installments shall commence by no later than the end of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Member dies; or
     (3) in installments over a period not to exceed the life expectancy of the Beneficiary, and (a) if the Beneficiary is the Member’s spouse, the installments shall commence no later than the later of the end of the calendar year in which the Member would have attained age 70 1/2 or the end of the calendar year in which the Member dies or (b) if the Beneficiary is not the Member’s spouse, the installments shall commence by no later than the end of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Member dies; or
     (4) Up to two partial lump sum payments each calendar year, as elected by the Beneficiary, until the Member’s Accounts in the Plan are fully distributed, provided, however, that (a) if the Beneficiary is the Member’s spouse, if the Member’s Accounts have not been fully distributed by the later of the end of the calendar year in which the Member attains age 70 1/2 or the end of the calendar year in which the member dies, the balance shall be distributed commencing as of the end of such calendar year in installments over a period not to exceed the life expectancy of the Beneficiary or as a lump sum or (b) if the Beneficiary is not the Member’s spouse, the balance shall be distributed in installments

41


 

commencing no later than the end of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Member dies over a period not to exceed the life expectancy of the Beneficiary or as a lump sum.
The amount of any distribution to be made in installments to the Beneficiary of a Member shall be held in such Investment Funds under the Plan as elected by the Beneficiary, participating proportionately in the gains, losses, income and expenses of such Funds during the distribution period. If distributions are made in monthly installments, the amount of each monthly installment shall be determined as of the day of distribution, by dividing the amount then remaining on hand for distribution by the number of monthly installments yet to be made. If distributions are made in annual installments, the amount of each annual installment shall be determined as of the date as of which distributions commence and as of each anniversary thereof by dividing the amount then remaining on hand for distribution by the number of annual installments yet to be made.
  B.   Notwithstanding any of the provisions of this Section 11.3(c) to the contrary, if a Member dies after his required beginning date (as defined by section 401(a)(9)(C) of the Code), the payment methods available to a member’s Beneficiary (whether or not the Beneficiary is the spouse of the Member) are subject to the minimum distribution requirements of Section 401 (a) (9) of the Code.
  C.   If a Member has not designated a Beneficiary for the Member’s Accounts, or if no Beneficiary designation is effective, or if the beneficiary pre-deceases the member without another beneficiary being designated, the member’s Accounts shall be paid in accordance with the provisions of Section 16.7(b) of the Plan.
  (d)   Transfer of Accounts to Plan of Affiliated Company
 
      A Member who terminates employment with the Employers but who is transferred without intervening employment to the employ of an Affiliated Company which is not an Employer, shall be entitled to elect, in lieu of any other benefit or form of distribution payable under the Plan, to have the amounts credited to his Accounts transferred directly to a qualified thrift or savings plan maintained by the Affiliated Company which employs such Member.

42


 

  (e)   Minimum Distribution Requirements. All distributions under the Plan shall comply with the requirements of Section 401(a)(9) of the Internal Revenue Code, including without limitation, the incidental death benefit requirement in Section 401(a)(9)(G) and will be made in accordance with Final and Temporary Regulations Sections 1.401(a)(9)-1 through 1.401(a)(9)-9. The provisions reflecting Section 401(a)(9) override any distribution options inconsistent with Section 401(a)(9).
11.4   Distributions shall be charged to the Member’s Accounts in the Fund. The amount of any distribution of less than the Member’s entire balance in his Accounts shall be paid from the Member’s Account in the Plan according to the following order: Supplemental After-Tax Contribution Account, Basic After-Tax Contribution Account, Rollover Contribution Account, Employer Contribution Account, GSOP Account, Supplemental Tax-Deferred Contribution Account, and Basic Tax-Deferred Contribution Account
11.5   The distributable amount in a Member’s Account shall be determined on the basis of the value of such Account on the day preceding the date as of which such distribution is effected.
11.6   Unless a Member otherwise elects, the distribution of benefits under the Plan to him shall commence no later than the 60th day after the latest of the close of the Plan Year in which (a) the Member attains age 65, (b) the Member completes 10 years of participation in the Plan, or (c) the Member terminates his service with the Employers and the Affiliated Companies. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, a Member whose total vested Accounts exceed the Applicable Dollar Amount (as defined in sub-section 11.1(a) of the Plan) shall be required to file a claim for benefits before the payment of benefits will commence, except as may be otherwise required in order to comply with the distribution requirements hereinafter set forth in this Section 11.6. Anything in this Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, effective January 1, 1999, distributions under the Plan to a Member (other than a 5-percent owner, as defined below) shall commence no later than April 1 of the calendar year next following the later of (i) the calendar year in which he attains age 701/2 or (ii) the calendar year in which the Member terminates his service with the Employers and the Affiliated Companies. However, notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence any Member who has attained age 70 1/2 before January 1, 1999 and is still employed with an Affiliated Company, and who is not a 5-percent owner of an Employer within the meaning of Section 4 (i)(1)(B)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code (“5- Percent Owner”) shall have a one-time election to either continue receiving or begin to receive distributions of his

43


 

benefit from the Plan under Section 401(a)(9) of the Internal Revenue Code or else defer receipt of any further benefit payments until he actually retires. If the Member is a 5-Percent Owner, distribution of such Member’s Accounts under the Plan shall commence no later than April 1 of the calendar year next following the calendar year in which he or she attains age 70 1/2, even if such Member has not yet terminated from employment.
11.7   A Member terminating service with the Employers who elects (or, by operation of sub-section 11.1(a) or 11.1(d) or the first paragraph of Section 11.2, is deemed to have elected) to defer the distribution of his vested Accounts shall continue to be entitled to direct the investment of such vested Accounts in accordance with Article VII pending distribution.
11.8   Prior to the time a Member commences to receive payments from his Accounts, the Member may change the payment method he has selected under sub-section 11.3 (b). A Member who is receiving payments from his Accounts and who has selected an installment method of payment under sub-section 11.3(a)(ii) may change the remaining period over which the installment payments shall be made, including selecting an immediate single lump sum payment of the remaining balance, provided, however, the modified payment period cannot exceed the life expectancies of the Member and the Member’s spouse.
The Beneficiary of a Member may change the payment method the Beneficiary has selected under sub-section 11.3 (c) prior to the time the Beneficiary commences to receive payments from the Account of the Member. If a Member’s spouse has selected an installment method of payment under sub-section 11.3(c), the spouse may change the remaining period over which the installment payments shall be made, including selecting an immediate single lump sum payment of the remaining balance, provided, however, the modified payment period cannot exceed the life expectancy of the spouse.
11.9   Effective with withdrawals or distributions made on or after January 1, 1993, notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary that would otherwise limit a distributee’s election under this Article, a distributee may elect, at the time and in the manner prescribed by the Plan administrator, to have any portion of an eligible rollover distribution paid directly to an eligible retirement plan specified by the distributee in a direct rollover. Such distribution may commence less than 30 days after the notice required under Section 1.411(a)-11(c) of the Income Tax Regulations is given, provided that:
  (1)   the Plan administrator clearly informs the Member that the Member has a right to a period of at

44


 

      least 30 days after receiving the notice to consider the decision of whether or not to elect a distribution (and, if applicable, a particular distribution option), and
  (2)   the Member after receiving the notice, affirmatively elects a distribution.
For purposes of this Section, an eligible rollover distribution is any distribution of all or any portion of the balance to the credit of the distributee, except that an eligible rollover distribution does not include: any distribution that is one of a series of substantially equal periodic payments (not less frequently than annually) made for the life (or life expectancy) of the distributee or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the distributee and the distributee’s designated beneficiary, or for a specified period of ten years of more; any distribution to the extent such distribution is required under Section 401(a)(9) of the Internal Revenue Code; any hardship distribution under Section 401(k)(2)(B)(i)(IV) of the Internal Revenue Code made after December 31, 1998; and the portion of any distribution that is not includible in gross income (determined without regard to the exclusion for net unrealized appreciation with respect to employer securities).
For the purpose of this Section, an eligible retirement plan is an individual retirement account described in Section 408(a) of the Internal Revenue Code, an individual retirement annuity described in Section 408(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, an annuity plan described in Section 403(a) of the Internal Revenue Code, or a qualified trust described in Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code, that accepts the distributee’s eligible rollover distribution. However, in the case of an eligible rollover distribution to the surviving spouse, an eligible retirement plan is an individual retirement account or individual retirement annuity.
For purposes of this Section, a distributee includes an Employee or former Employee. In addition, the Employee’s or former Employee’s surviving spouse and the Employee’s or former Employee’s spouse or former spouse who is the alternate payee under a qualified domestic relations order, as defined in Section 414(p) of the Internal Revenue Code, are distributees with regard to the interest of the spouse or former spouse.
For purposes of this Section, a direct rollover is a payment by the plan to the eligible retirement plan specified by the distributee.

47


 

14.2  (a)    The Administrative Committee shall be responsible for the administration, interpretation and compliance requirements pertaining to the Plan. These responsibilities include, but are not limited to, reviewing claims and adjudicating appeals; monitoring Plan compliance with laws, regulations and court decisions as related to Plan design, administration, communication and reporting requirements; approving actuarial tables for optional forms of benefit payments; and approving, jointly with the Investment Committee, the payment of administrative expenses from the Fund.

If the Member or Beneficiary files such request for review, such review shall be made within 60 days after the receipt of a written request for such review unless a hearing is necessitated to determine the facts and circumstances, in which event a decision shall be rendered as soon as possible, but not later than one hundred and twenty (120) days after receipt of a written request for such review.
  (c)   The decisions of the Administrative Committee or its actions with respect to the Plan and the records of the Committees shall be conclusive and binding upon each Employer and all persons having or claiming to have any right or interest in the Plan or Fund. The Administrative Committee has full and exclusive discretionary authority under the Plan to determine eligibility for benefits and to construe the terms of the Plan. Any interpretation or determination made pursuant to such discretionary authority shall be given full force and effect unless it can be shown that the interpretation or determination was arbitrary and capricious.
14.3  (a)    The Investment Committee shall be responsible for investing the assets of the Plan and monitoring the investment performance of the investment funds made available from time to time under the Plan for investment of Members’ Accounts. The Investment Committee also shall be responsible for selecting and

The members of each of the Committees, and each Employer and the officers and directors thereof, shall be fully protected in respect of any action taken or permitted by them in good faith in reliance upon such tables, valuations, certificates, reports or opinions and all actions so taken or permitted shall be conclusive upon each of them and upon all persons having or claiming to have any interest in or under the Plan. With respect to actions so taken, no member of either of the Committees or any officer or director of an Employer shall be personally liable by virtue of any instrument made or executed by him or on his behalf as a member of the applicable Committee or as an officer or director of an Employer, or any mistake of judgment made by him or any other member of the applicable Committee or any other officer or director of an Employer, nor for any neglect, omission or wrongdoing of any other member of the applicable Committee or of any other officer or director of an Employer or of anyone employed by an Employer, nor for any loss unless resulting from his own gross negligence or willful misconduct, except as the Act may otherwise require. Each person who is or has been a member of either of the Committees or who is or has been an officer or director of an Employer shall be indemnified, with respect to actions so taken, by the Employers against expenses and losses (including amounts paid in settlement with the approval of the Company) reasonably incurred by him in connection with any action, suit or proceeding to which he may be a party or with which he shall be threatened by reason of his being, or having been, a member of the applicable Committee or an officer or director of an Employer, except in relation to matters as to which he shall be adjudged in such action, suit or proceeding to be liable for gross negligence or willful misconduct in the

49


 

performance of his duty as such member of the applicable Committee or as an officer or director of an Employer. The foregoing rights of indemnification shall be in addition to any other rights to which any such member of each of the Committees or such officer or director of the Employer may be entitled as a matter of law.
ARTICLE XV
APPROVAL BY THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE
15.1   The Company intends to secure a determination that the Plan continues to be a qualified Plan under Section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code.
15.2   Any modification or amendment of the Plan or the Trust Agreement or Insurance Company contract may be made retroactively by the Company, if necessary or appropriate to cause the Plan to qualify or maintain its qualification as a plan and/or trust meeting the requirements of applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code and/or other Federal and State laws, as now in effect or hereafter amended or enacted or a determination to that effect. Any such modification or amendment, however, shall not adversely affect any right or obligation of any Member theretofore accrued.
ARTICLE XVI
GENERAL PROVISIONS
16.1   All elections, notices, designations and other communications to the Administrative Committee shall be in the respective forms from time to time prescribed by the Administrative Committee and shall be mailed or delivered to the Administrative Committee in care of the Member’s Employer, and shall be deemed to have been duly given upon receipt by the Administrative Committee.
16.2   The establishment of the Plan shall not be construed as conferring any legal rights upon any Employee or any other person for a continuation of employment, nor shall it interfere with the rights of any Employer to discharge any Employee and/or to treat him without regard to the effect which such treatment might have upon him as a Member.
16.3   All benefits payable under the Plan shall be paid or provided for solely from the Fund and neither the Company nor any other Employer assumes any liability therefor. The Plan is intended to constitute a plan described in Section 404(c) of the Act and the regulations thereunder, and the fiduciaries of the Plan may be relieved of liability for any losses which are the direct and necessary result of investment instructions given by a Member or Beneficiary.

50


 

Each Member assumes all risk connected with any decrease in the market value of any assets held by the Trustee or Insurance Company under the Plan. Neither the Trustee, the Committees nor any Employer in any way guarantees the Fund against loss or depreciation, or the payment of any amount which may be or become due to any person from the Fund.
16.4   If any person to whom a payment is due hereunder is a minor or is determined by the Administrative Committee to be incompetent by reason of physical or mental disability, the Administrative Committee shall have the power to cause the payments becoming due to such person to be made to another for the benefit of the minor or incompetent, without responsibility of any Employer, the Committees, the Trustee or the Insurance Company to see to the application of such payment. Payments made pursuant to such power shall operate as a complete discharge of all Employers, the Committees, the Trustee, the Insurance Company and the Fund.
16.5   No right or interest of any Member in the Plan shall be alienable, assignable or transferable, or, to the extent permitted by law, subject to any lien, in whole or in part, either directly or by operation of law, or otherwise, including, but not by way of limitation, execution, levy, garnishment, attachment, pledge, bankruptcy, or in any other manner, and no right or interest of any Member in the Plan shall be liable for, or be subject to, any obligation or liability of such Member. This Section 16.5 shall apply to the creation, assignment or recognition of a right to any benefit payable with respect to a Member pursuant to a domestic relations order but shall not apply if the order is determined by the Administrative Committee to be a qualified domestic relations order within the meaning of Section 414(p) of the Internal Revenue Code. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, benefits shall be payable in accordance with the applicable terms of a qualified domestic relations order. Also, notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, a Member’s benefits assigned to an alternate payee, within the meaning of Section 414(p)(8) of the Internal Revenue Code, under a qualified domestic relations order which provides that such assignment is to be immediately distributable, can be distributed to such alternate payee as soon as administratively possible after a determination is made by the Administrative Committee that such assignment is made pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order, even if the Member is still employed by an Employer.

51


 

16.6   In the event any distribution mailed to a Member or Beneficiary at his or her last known address remains unclaimed by the Member or Beneficiary, as the case may be, for a period of 24 months and payment cannot be made alternatively to the estate of either and no surviving spouse, child, parent, brother or sister, or grandchild of the Member or Beneficiary are known to the Employer or the Trustee or the Insurance Company, or if known, cannot with reasonable diligence be located, the amount payable shall be placed in a separate interest bearing fund or otherwise dealt with (including forfeiture, subject to restoration) pending eventual distribution in such manner as the Administrative Committee shall determine in its sole and exclusive discretion, subject to any requirements of applicable law.
16.7   (a) Any Member may at any time and from time to time designate the Beneficiary to whom the amounts in his Accounts shall be delivered in the event of the death of such Member. Any such designation shall take precedence over any testamentary or other disposition. Such designation or any change or cancellation of such designation under this Plan shall become effective only upon the receipt thereof by the Administrative Committee as provided in Section 16.1, and shall then relate back to the date of its execution; provided, however, that neither the Trustee, the Insurance Company, the Committees, the Company nor any Employer shall be liable by reason of any payment made before receipt of such designation, change, or cancellation to the Member’s estate or to any Beneficiary theretofore designated. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Member is married, the Member shall be deemed to have designated his spouse as his Beneficiary (regardless of whether any contrary designation is then on file with the Administrative Committee) and such spouse shall be his Beneficiary for purposes of the Plan, unless the Member designates another person or persons as his Beneficiary with the contemporaneous consent of such spouse (which consent must be in writing and witnessed by a notary public).
(b) If no Beneficiary designation is effective pursuant to this Section 16.7 or if the Administrative Committee or the Trustee or the Insurance Company shall be in doubt as to the right of any claimant, or if a designated Beneficiary shall predecease the Member, the amount in question may, in the discretion of the Administrative Committee, be paid directly to the estate of the Member, in which event the Trustee, the Insurance Company, the Employers, the Company and the Committees shall have no further responsibility or liability with respect thereto. However, notwithstanding the immediately preceding paragraph, if no Beneficiary designation is effective pursuant to this Section 16.7 or if the Administrative Committee or the Trustee or the Insurance Company shall be in doubt as to the right of any claimant,

52


 

or if a designated Beneficiary shall predecease the Member, the amount in question shall be paid first to the surviving spouse; if no surviving spouse, then to all the surviving children in equal shares and, if no surviving spouse or surviving children, then to the estate of the Member.
(c) Upon receipt by the Administrative Committee of evidence satisfactory to it of the death of a Member and of the existence and identity of the Beneficiary designated by the Member entitled to benefits, the Trustee or Insurance Company shall pay to such Beneficiary an amount equal to the balance of the Member’s Accounts in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.1.
16.8   Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, contributions, benefits and service credit with respect to qualified military service will be provided in accordance with Section 414(u) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Plan will comply with any applicable provisions of the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Acts Rights of 1994, effective as of the relevant effective dates of such Act.
16.9   The Administrative Committee is designated as the agent of each Employer and of the Plan for service of process to commence any legal proceeding against the Employer or against the Plan, pertaining to this Plan or the determination of any rights hereunder.
16.10  The validity of the Plan or any of its provisions shall be determined under, and it shall be construed and administered according to, the laws of the State of New York, except as may be required by any provision of the Act.
ARTICLE XVII
AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION
17.1   The Company, by action of the Board of Directors, at any time or from time to time, may amend or modify the Plan to any extent that it may deem advisable. No such amendment shall:
  (1)   increase the duties and responsibilities of the Trustee or Insurance Company without its consent;
  (2)   have the effect of re-vesting in any Employer the whole or any part of the principal or income of the Fund or of diverting any part of such principal or income to purposes other than for the exclusive benefit of the Members and their Beneficiaries; or
  (3)   cause any reduction in any Member’s Accounts (within the meaning of Section 411(d)(6) of the Internal

53


 

      Revenue Code) or his vested interest therein.
If any vesting schedule under the Plan is amended, each Member who has completed at least three (3) years of Continuous Employment, to whom such vesting schedule was applicable and whose vested percentage could be less if the amended schedule were applied to him, shall be entitled to elect to remain subject to the vesting schedule(s) in effect prior to such amendment.
17.2   The Company, by action of the Board of Directors, at any time may discontinue all Contributions under the Plan or terminate the Plan in whole or in part. Each Employer may, by action of its Board of Directors, take similar action as to Members who are its employees. Upon complete discontinuance of contributions under the Plan or complete or partial termination of the Plan as to any Members hereunder, the Accounts of such affected Members shall become fully vested, and shall not thereafter be subject to forfeiture.
17.3   The Plan may be merged into or consolidated with another plan, and its assets or liabilities may be transferred to another plan. However, no merger or consolidation with, or transfer of assets or liabilities to, any other plan shall occur unless each Member of the Plan would (if the plan then terminated) receive a benefit immediately after the merger, consolidation or transfer which is equal to or greater than the benefit he would have been entitled to receive immediately before the merger, consolidation or transfer (if this Plan had then terminated).
ARTICLE XVIII
TOP-HEAVY PROVISIONS
18.1   Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan to the contrary, this Article XVIII shall apply for any Plan Year commencing on or after October 1, 1984 if the Plan is a “Top-Heavy Plan” as defined herein. The Plan shall be a “Top-Heavy Plan” if, as of the Determination Date relating to such Plan Year, the present value of the cumulative accrued benefits of Key Employees exceeds sixty percent (60%) of the present value of the cumulative accrued benefits under the Plan of all employees (but excluding the value of the accrued benefits of Non-Key Employees who were formerly Key Employees and excluding the value of the accrued benefits of any employee who has not performed any services for an Employer or Affiliated Company at any time during the five-year period ending on the Determination Date). In determining whether this Plan is a Top-Heavy Plan, the Employers and all Affiliated Companies shall be treated as a single employer. In addition, all plans that are part of the Aggregation Group shall be treated as a single plan.

54


 

For purposes of the foregoing, the present value of an employee’s accrued benefit shall be equal to the sum of the amounts determined under the following paragraphs:
  (a)   The sum of (i) the present value of an employee’s accrued benefits in each defined benefit plan which is included in the Aggregation Group determined as of the most recent valuation date within the twelve (12) month period ending on the Determination Date and as if the employee had terminated service as of such valuation date and (ii) the aggregate distributions made with respect to such employee during the five-year period ending on the Determination Date from all defined benefit plans included in the Aggregation Group and not reflected in the present value of his accrued benefits as of the most recent valuation date; and
  (b)   The sum of (i) the aggregate balance of his accounts in all defined contribution plans which are part of the Aggregation Group as of the most recent valuation date within the twelve (12) month period ending on the Determination Date, (ii) any contributions allocated to such accounts after the valuation date and on or before the Determination Date and (iii) the aggregate distributions made with respect to such employee during the five-year period ending on the Determination Date from all defined contribution plans which are part of the Aggregation Group and not reflected in the value of his accounts as of the most recent valuation date.
The account or the present value of the accrued benefit of any employee shall be determined as provided in Section 416 of the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations thereunder for the first and second plan years of a defined benefit plan. Solely for the purpose of determining if the Plan, or any other plan included in the Aggregation Group of which this Plan is a part, is a Top-Heavy Plan, the accrued benefit of an employee other than a Key Employee shall be determined under (1) the method, if any, that uniformly applies for accrual purposes under all plans maintained by the Employers and Affiliated Companies, or (2) if there is no such method, as if such benefit accrued not more rapidly than the slowest accrual rate permitted under the fractional accrual rate of Section 411(b)(1)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code. Plan-to-plan transfers and rollovers shall be taken into account to the extent provided in the applicable Treasury Regulations. In addition, for purposes of paragraphs (a)(ii) and (b)(iii) above, distributions under a terminated plan which, if such plan had not terminated, would have been required to be included in an Aggregation Group, shall also be taken into account.

55


 

18.2   The following terms shall have the following meanings:

APPENDIX VV
TO THE SIEMENS SAVINGS PLAN (“PLAN”)
EGTRRA PLAN AMENDMENTS
PREAMBLE
     1. Adoption and effective date of amendments. The amendments to the Plan set forth in this Appendix VV are adopted to reflect certain provisions of the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001 (“EGTRRA”). These amendments are intended as good faith compliance with the requirements of EGTRRA and are to be construed in accordance with EGTRRA and guidance issued thereunder. Except as otherwise provided, these amendments shall be effective as of the first day of the first Plan Year beginning after December 31, 2001.
     2. Supersession of inconsistent provisions. These amendments shall supersede the provisions of the Plan to the extent those provisions are inconsistent with the provisions of these amendments.
          SECTION 1 LIMITATIONS ON CONTRIBUTIONS
          1.1 Effective date. This section shall be effective for limitation years beginning after December 31, 2001.
          1.2 Maximum annual addition. Except to the extent permitted under Section 9 of this Appendix VV and Section 414(v) of the Internal Revenue Code, if applicable, and notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.8 (b) of the Plan, the annual addition that may be contributed or allocated to a Member’s account under the Plan for any limitation year shall not exceed the lesser of:
  (a)   $40,000, as adjusted for increases in the cost-of-living under Section 415(d) of the Internal Revenue Code, or
  (b)   100 percent of the Member’s compensation, within the meaning of Section 415(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, for the limitation year.
          The compensation limit referred to in (b) shall not apply to any contribution for medical benefits after separation from service (within the meaning of Section 401(h) or Section 419A(f)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code) which is otherwise treated as an annual addition.
          SECTION 2 INCREASE IN COMPENSATION LIMIT
          The annual compensation of each Member taken into account in determining allocations for any Plan Year beginning after December 31, 2001, shall not exceed $200,000, as adjusted for cost-of-living increases in accordance with Section 401(a)(17)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code. Annual compensation means compensation during the Plan Year or such other consecutive 12-month period over which compensation is otherwise determined

7


 

under the Plan (the determination period). The cost-of-living adjustment in effect for a calendar year applies to annual compensation for the determination period that begins with or within such calendar year.
          SECTION 3 MODIFICATION OF TOP-HEAVY RULES
          3.1 Effective date. This section shall apply for purposes of determining whether the Plan is a top-heavy plan under Section 416(g) of the Internal Revenue Code for Plan Years beginning after December 31, 2001, and whether the Plan satisfies the minimum benefits requirements of Section 416(c) of the Internal Revenue Code for such years. This section amends Article XVIII of the Plan.
          3.2 Determination of top-heavy status.
          3.2.1 Key employee. Key employee means any employee or former employee (including any deceased employee) who at any time during the Plan Year that includes the determination date was an officer of the employer having annual compensation greater than $130,000 (as adjusted under Section 416(i)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code for Plan Years beginning after December 31, 2002), a 5-percent owner of the employer, or a 1-percent owner of the employer having annual compensation of more than $150,000. For this purpose, annual compensation means compensation within the meaning of Section 415(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The determination of who is a key employee will be made in accordance with Section 416(i)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code and the applicable regulations and other guidance of general applicability issued thereunder.
          3.2.2 Determination of present values and amounts. This Section 3.2.2 shall apply for purposes of determining the present values of accrued benefits and the amounts of account balances of employees as of the determination date.
          3.2.2.1 Distributions during year ending on the determination date. The present values of accrued benefits and the amounts of account balances of an employee as of the determination date shall be increased by the distributions made with respect to the employee under the Plan and any plan aggregated with the Plan under Section 416(g)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code during the 1-year period ending on the determination date. The preceding sentence shall also apply to distributions under a terminated plan which, had it not been terminated, would have been aggregated with the Plan under Section 416(g)(2)(A)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code. In the case of a distribution made for a reason other than separation from service, death or disability, this provision shall be applied by substituting “5-year period” for “1-year period.”
          3.2.2.2 Employees not performing services during year ending on the determination date. The accrued benefits and accounts of any individual who has not performed services for the employer during the 1-year period ending on the determination date shall not be taken into account.
          3.3 Minimum benefits.

8


 

          3.3.1 Matching contributions. Employer matching contributions shall be taken into account for purposes of satisfying the minimum contribution requirements of Section 416(c)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code and the Plan. The preceding sentence shall apply with respect to matching contributions under the Plan or, if the Plan provides that the minimum contribution requirement shall be met in another plan, such other plan. Employer matching contributions that are used to satisfy the minimum contribution requirements shall be treated as matching contributions for purposes of the actual contribution percentage test and other requirements of Section 401(m) of the Internal Revenue Code.
          SECTION 4. VESTING OF EMPLOYER MATCHING CONTRIBUTIONS
          4.1 Applicability. This section shall apply to Members with accrued benefits derived from employer matching contributions.
          4.2 Vesting Schedule. The vesting schedule set forth in Section 8.2 shall apply.
          SECTION 5. DIRECT ROLLOVERS OF PLAN DISTRIBUTIONS
          5.1 Effective date. This section shall apply to distributions made after December 31, 2001.
          5.2 Modification of definition of eligible retirement plan. For purposes of the direct rollover provisions in Section 11.9 of the Plan, an eligible retirement plan shall also mean an annuity contract described in Section 403(b) of the Internal Revenue Code and an eligible plan under Section 457(b) of the Internal Revenue Code which is maintained by a state, political subdivision of a state, or any agency or instrumentality of a state or political subdivision of a state and which agrees to separately account for amounts transferred into such plan from this Plan. The definition of eligible retirement plan shall also apply in the case of a distribution to a surviving spouse, or to a spouse or former spouse who is the alternate payee under a qualified domestic relations order, as defined in Section 414(p) of the Internal Revenue Code.
          5.3 Modification of definition of eligible rollover distribution to exclude hardship distributions. For purposes of the direct rollover provisions in Section 11.9 of the Plan, any amount that is distributed on account of hardship shall not be an eligible rollover distribution and the distributee may not elect to have any portion of such a distribution paid directly to an eligible retirement plan.
          5.4 Modification of definition of eligible rollover distribution to include after-tax employee contributions. For purposes of the direct rollover provisions in Section 11.9 of the Plan, a portion of a distribution shall not fail to be an eligible rollover distribution merely because the portion consists of after-tax employee contributions which are not includible in gross income. However, such portion may be transferred only to an individual retirement account or annuity described in Section 408(a) or (b) of the Internal Revenue Code, or to a qualified defined contribution plan described in Section 401(a) or 403(a) of the Internal Revenue Code that agrees to separately account for amounts so transferred, including separately accounting for the

9


 

portion of such distribution which is includible in gross income and the portion of such distribution which is not so includible.
          SECTION 6 ROLLOVERS FROM OTHER PLANS
          The Plan will accept Member rollover contributions and/or direct rollovers of distributions made after December 31, 2001, from the types of plans listed below.
          Direct Rollovers:
          The Plan will accept a direct rollover of an eligible rollover distribution from any of the following types of plans:

  (ii)   an annuity contract described in Section 403(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, excluding after-tax employee contributions; or
  (iii)   an eligible plan under Section 457(b) of the Internal Revenue Code which is maintained by a state, political subdivision of a state, or any agency or instrumentality of a state or political subdivision of a state.
          Member Rollover Contributions from Other Plans:
          The Plan will accept a Member contribution of an eligible rollover distribution from any of the following types of plans:
  (i)   a qualified plan described in Section 401(a) or 403(a) of the Internal Revenue Code;
  (ii)   an annuity contract described in Section 403(b) of the Internal Revenue Code; or
  (iii)   an eligible plan under Section 457(b) of the Internal Revenue Code which is maintained by a state, political subdivision of a state, or any agency or instrumentality of a state or political subdivision of a state.
          Member Rollover Contributions from IRAs:
          The Plan will accept a Member’s rollover contribution of the portion of a distribution from an individual retirement account or annuity described in Section 408(a) or 408(b) of the Internal Revenue Code that is eligible to be rolled over and would otherwise be includible in gross income.
          SECTION 7 REPEAL OF MULTIPLE USE TEST
          The multiple use test described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.401(m)-2 and Section 5.2(b) of the Plan shall not apply for Plan Years beginning after December 31, 2001.

10


 

          SECTION 8 ELECTIVE DEFERRALS — CONTRIBUTION LIMITATION
          No Member shall be permitted to have Tax-Deferred Contributions made under this Plan, or any other qualified plan maintained by the employer during any taxable year, in excess of the dollar limitation contained in Section 402(g) of the Internal Revenue Code in effect for such taxable year, except to the extent permitted under Section 9 of this Appendix and Section 414(v) of the Internal Revenue Code, if applicable.
          SECTION 9 CATCH-UP CONTRIBUTIONS
          All employees who are eligible to make Tax-Deferred Contributions under this Plan and who have attained age 50 before the close of the Plan Year shall be eligible to make catch-up contributions in accordance with, and subject to the limitations of, Section 414(v) of the Internal Revenue Code. Such catch-up contributions shall not be taken into account for purposes of the provisions of the Plan implementing the required limitations of Sections 402(g) and 415 of the Internal Revenue Code. The Plan shall not be treated as failing to satisfy the provisions of the Plan implementing the requirements of Section 401(k)(3), 401(k)(11), 401(k)(12), 410(b), or 416 of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable, by reason of the making of such catch-up contributions. In no event shall any catch up contributions made by a Member to the Plan (including, but not limited to, any such catch up contributions that may have initially been made to the Plan as catch up contributions and which subsequently may be treated by the Plan as Tax-Deferred Contributions under Article IV of the Plan) be eligible for any Employer Contribution under Article V of the Plan. This Section 9 shall apply to contributions after December 31, 2002.
          SECTION 10 DISTRIBUTION UPON SEVERANCE FROM EMPLOYMENT
          10.1 Effective date. This section shall apply for distributions after December 31, 2001 regardless of when the severance from employment occurred.
          10.2 New distributable event. A Member’s Tax Deferred Contributions, qualified nonelective contributions, if any, qualified matching contributions, and earnings attributable to these contributions shall be distributed on account of the Member’s severance from employment. However, such a distribution shall be subject to the other provisions of the Plan regarding distributions, other than provisions that require a separation from service before such amounts may be distributed, and shall be subject to the provisions of any agreement that provides for a mandatory transfer of a Member’s Accounts in the Plan’s trust to the trust of another qualified plan.

After the merger, the benefits payable from the Siemens Savings Plan accrued by participants under the UGS Plan shall be equal to benefits such participants would have been entitled to receive under the UGS Plan immediately before the merger.
The following special provisions shall apply to those individuals for whom assets and liabilities under the UGS Plan were transferred to the Siemens Savings Plan:
     1. Vesting. Participants in the UGS Plan for whom assets and liabilities are transferred to the Siemens Savings Plan will be fully vested in all amounts in their accounts in the UGS Plan that are transferred to the Siemens Savings Plan. Years of Vesting Service that a participant has under the UGS Plan as of December 31, 2007, shall be considered Continuous Employment under the Siemens Savings Plan.
     2. Roth Elective Deferral Account. A Roth Elective Deferral Account shall be established and maintained by the Plan for each former participant in the UGS Plan for whom amounts transferred to the Siemens Savings Plan include amounts credited to a Roth Elective Deferral Account in the UGS Plan. Each Roth Elective Deferral Account established for a participant shall be credited with the amounts transferred from the UGS Plan in respect of such participant’s Roth Elective Deferral Account in the UGS Plan and shall be adjusted to reflect earning, losses, withdrawals and distributions, as applicable, in accordance with the terms of the Plan.
     3. Withdrawals.

Account of the Siemens Savings Plan; except that, in circumstances where the UGS Plan would permit a withdrawal and the Siemens Savings Plan would not, the terms and conditions of the UGS Plan, as in effect as of the time immediately prior to such transfer, shall apply. For purposes of determining the order in which withdrawals are made from a Member’s Accounts, amounts credited to a Member’s Roth Elective Deferral Account shall be withdrawn last.

If the Member’s Accounts, excluding the Member’s Roth Elective Deferral Account, exceed $1,000 and the Member does not elect to have such portion of his distribution paid directly to an eligible rollover or to receive the distribution directly in accordance with Article XI, then the plan administrator will pay the distribution of such Accounts, excluding the Roth Elective Deferral Account, in a direct rollover to an individual retirement plan designated by the plan administrator.

Section 11.3 subject to the limitations set forth in Section 11.6.
     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, the amounts credited to a Member’s Roth Elective Deferral Account may only be distributed in the form of a lump sum equal to 100% of the amount credited to such Account. A distribution of amounts credited to a Member’s Roth Elective Deferral Account shall be treated separately from a distribution of the Member’s other Accounts. In the event a Member requests a partial distribution, the Member shall elect whether the partial distribution is made first from his Roth Elective Deferral Account or from the Members other Accounts; provided that if the distribution includes any part of the Member’s Roth Elective Deferral Account the entire balance of such account must be distributed.

In determining the vested account balance amount available under Article IX of the Siemens Savings Plan for loans, the amounts that were in an employee’s account in the UGS Plan which were transferred to the Siemens Savings Plan shall be eligible for a loan, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Siemens Savings Plan.

     A former participant in the S/D Engineers Plan shall be able to withdraw any company matching contributions, or discretionary employer contributions to his or her accounts in the S/D Engineers Plan in accordance with the provisions of Article X of the Siemens Savings Plan, as amended from time to time, and as applicable to the withdrawals of amounts from the Employer Contribution Account of the Siemens Savings Plan; except that, in circumstances where the S/D Engineers Plan would permit a withdrawal and the Siemens Savings Plan would not, the terms and conditions of the S/D Engineers Plan, as in effect as of the time immediately prior to such transfer, shall apply.
     A former participant in the S/D Engineers Plan shall be able to withdraw any rollover contributions made to his or her accounts in the S/D Engineers Plan in accordance with the provisions of Article X of the Siemens Savings Plan as amended from time to time, and as applicable to the withdrawal of amounts from a participant’s Rollover Contribution Account; except that, in circumstances where the S/D Engineers Plan would permit a withdrawal and the Siemens Savings Plan would not, the terms and conditions of the S/D Engineers Plan, as in effect as of the time immediately prior to such transfer, shall apply.
     4. Distributions. The Applicable Dollar Amount defined in Section 11.1(a), shall include the amount credited to a Member’s Roth Elective Deferral Account. For purposes of determining whether a mandatory distribution is greater than $1,000, as described in the second paragraph of Section 11.1(a), a Member’s Roth Elective Deferral Account will be treated separately from the Member’s other Accounts. If the Member’s Accounts, excluding the Member’s Roth Elective Deferral Account, exceed $1,000 and the Member does not elect to have such portion of his distribution paid directly to an eligible rollover or to receive the distribution directly in accordance with Article XI, then the plan administrator will pay the distribution of such Accounts, excluding the Roth Elective Deferral Account, in a direct rollover to an individual retirement plan designated by the plan administrator. If the Member’s Roth Elective Deferral Account exceeds $1,000, the Member may elect to delay distribution (and no distribution of such Account may be made prior to the end of the calendar year in which the Member attains age 70 1/2 absent his election to receive a distribution) in which case the amount credited to such Account shall be distributed as of such

78


 

subsequent date as the Member may elect in accordance with Section 11.3 subject to the limitations set forth in Section 11.6.
     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, the amounts credited to a Member’s Roth Elective Deferral Account may only be distributed in the form of a lump sum equal to 100% of the amount credited to such Account. A distribution of amounts credited to a Member’s Roth Elective Deferral Account shall be treated separately from a distribution of the Member’s other Accounts. In the event a Member requests a partial distribution, the Member shall elect whether the partial distribution is made first from his Roth Elective Deferral Account or from the Member’s other Accounts; provided that if the distribution includes any part of the Member’s Roth Elective Deferral Account the entire balance of such account must be distributed.
     5. Loans. In determining the vested account balance amount available under Article IX of the Siemens Savings Plan for loans, the amounts that were in an employee’s account in the S/D Engineers Plan which were transferred to the Siemens Savings Plan shall be eligible for a loan, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Siemens Savings Plan. For purposes of Section 9.5 of the Plan, amounts credited to a participant’s Roth Elective Deferral Account shall be last in determining the order in which loans shall be made from a Member’s Accounts.

Service which a participant has with Diagnostics Products Corporation shall be considered Continuous Employment under the Plan.
     2. Fixed Contribution and Money Purchase Pension Plan Account. An account (an “MPPP Account”) shall be established and maintained by the Plan for each former participant in the DPC Plan for whom amounts transferred to the Plan include Fixed Contributions (as defined in the DPC Plan) or contributions to a predecessor Money Purchase Pension Plan, and the earnings or losses attributable thereto (such amounts are referred to herein as “MPPP Amounts”). Each MPPP Account established for a participant shall be credited with the MPPP Amounts transferred from the DPC Plan in respect of such participant and shall be adjusted to reflect all future earning, losses and distributions, as applicable, in accordance with the terms of the Plan.
     3. Withdrawals. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, no amount credited to a participant’s MPPP Account may be withdrawn from the Plan prior to the participant’s separation from service. After assets are transferred from the DPC Plan to the Plan, a former participant in the DPC Plan shall be able to withdraw amounts contributed by, or on behalf of such participant, on a tax deferred basis to his or her accounts in the DPC Plan (other than MPPP Amounts) and related earnings, in accordance with the provisions of Article X of the Plan, as amended from time to time, and as applicable to the withdrawals

Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time during the Applicable Election Period (as defined below), a participant may elect to waive the QJSA and QOSA, or single life annuity, as applicable and choose an alternative form of benefit described in Section 11.3(b) of the Plan, provided that in the case of a married participant, such participant’s spouse consents in writing to such election, the consent acknowledges the effect of such election and it is witnessed by a notary public.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time during the Applicable Election Period, a participant may, with proper spousal consent witnessed by a notary public, elect to waive the QPSA and name a beneficiary other than his or her spouse.

Following the merger, any former DPC Plan participant may, at any time and from time to time, designate a beneficiary to whom the entire amount of such participant’s accounts shall be paid in the event of such participant’s death in accordance with the terms of the Plan and subject to the QPSA notice and consent requirements described above.
     6. Distribution Hierarchy. In the event of a distribution in the form of installments and in case of required minimum distributions, subject to the provisions of Section 4 and 5 of this Appendix NNNN, amounts shall be distributed in accordance with the distribution hierarchy set forth in Section 11.4 of the Plan, provided that MPPP Accounts shall be distributed last.

After the merger, the benefits payable from the Siemens Savings Plan accrued by participants under the MEMSI Plan shall be equal to benefits such participants would have been entitled to receive under the MEMSI Plan immediately before the merger.
The following special provisions shall apply to those individuals for whom assets and liabilities under the MEMSI Plan were transferred to the Siemens Savings Plan:
     1. Vesting. Participants in the MEMSI Plan who are employed by an Employer on August 4, 2009 and for whom assets and liabilities are transferred to the Siemens Savings Plan will be fully vested in all amounts in their accounts in the MEMSI Plan that are transferred to the Siemens Savings Plan. Service which a participant has with M-E Manufacturing & Services, Inc. and, to the extent recognized under the MEMSI Plan, any predecessor employer, shall be considered Continuous Employment under the Siemens Savings Plan.
     2. Roth Elective Deferral Account. A Roth Elective Deferral Account shall be established and maintained by the Plan for each former participant in the MEMSI Plan for whom amounts transferred to the Siemens Savings Plan include amounts credited to a Roth Elective Deferral Account in the MEMSI Plan. Each Roth Elective Deferral Account established for a participant shall be credited with the amounts transferred from the MEMSI Plan in respect of such participant’s Roth Elective Deferral Account in the MEMSI Plan and shall be adjusted to reflect earnings, losses, withdrawals, loans and distributions, as applicable, in accordance with the terms of the Plan.

91


 

     3. Withdrawals. After assets are transferred from the MEMSI Plan to the Siemens Savings Plan, a former participant in the MEMSI Plan shall be able to withdraw amounts made on a tax deferred basis or as Roth elective deferral contributions to his or her accounts in the MEMSI Plan and related earnings, in accordance with the provisions of Article X of the Siemens Savings Plan, as amended from time to time, and as applicable to the withdrawals of amounts from the Tax-Deferred Contribution Account of the Siemens Savings Plan; except that, in circumstances where the MEMSI Plan would permit a withdrawal and the Siemens Savings Plan would not, the terms and conditions of the MEMSI Plan, as in effect as of the time immediately prior to such transfer, shall apply. For purposes of determining the order in which withdrawals are made from a Member’s Accounts, amounts credited to a Member’s Roth Elective Deferral Account shall be withdrawn last.
     A former participant in the MEMSI Plan shall be able to withdraw any company matching contributions, or discretionary employer contributions made to his or her accounts in the MEMSI Plan and related earnings in accordance with the provisions of Article X of the Siemens Savings Plan, as amended from time to time, and as applicable to the withdrawal of Employer Contributions; except that, in circumstances where the MEMSI Plan would permit a withdrawal and the Siemens Savings Plan would not, the terms and conditions of the MEMSI Plan, as in effect as of the time immediately prior to such transfer, shall apply.

     4. Distributions. The Applicable Dollar Amount defined in Section 11.1(a), shall include the amount credited to a Member’s Roth Elective Deferral Account. For purposes of determining whether a mandatory distribution is greater than $1,000, as described in the second paragraph of Section 11.1(a), a Member’s Roth Elective Deferral Account will be treated separately from the Members other Accounts. If the Member’s Accounts, excluding the Member’s Roth Elective Deferral Account, exceed $1,000 and

If the Member’s Roth Elective Deferral Account exceeds $1,000, the Member may elect to delay distribution (and no distribution of such Account may be made prior to the end of the calendar year in which the Member attains age 701/2 absent his election to receive a distribution) in which case the amount credited to such Account shall be distributed as of such subsequent date as the Member may elect in accordance with Section 11.3 subject to the limitations set forth in Section 11.6.
     5. Loans. In determining the vested account balance amount available under Article IX of the Siemens Savings Plan for loans, the amounts that were in an employee’s account in the MEMSI Plan which were transferred to the Siemens Savings Plan shall be eligible for a loan, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Siemens Savings Plan.

A Roth Elective Deferral Account shall be established and maintained by the Plan for each former participant in the Rexton Plan for whom amounts transferred to the Siemens Savings Plan include amounts credited to a Roth Elective Deferral Account in the Rexton Plan. Each Roth Elective Deferral Account established for a participant shall be credited with the amounts transferred from the Rexton Plan in respect of such participant’s Roth Elective Deferral Account in the Rexton Plan and shall be adjusted to reflect earnings, losses, withdrawals, loans and distributions, as applicable, in accordance with the terms of the Plan.

     3. Withdrawals. After assets are transferred from the Rexton Plan to the Siemens Savings Plan, a former participant in the Rexton Plan shall be able to withdraw amounts made on a tax deferred basis to his or her accounts in the Rexton Plan and related earnings, in accordance with the provisions of Article X of the Siemens Savings Plan, as amended from time to time, and as applicable to the withdrawals of amounts from the Tax-Deferred Contribution Account of the Siemens Savings Plan; except that, in circumstances where the Rexton Plan would permit a withdrawal and the Siemens Savings Plan would not, the terms and conditions of the Rexton Plan, as in effect as of the time immediately prior to such transfer, shall apply. For purposes of determining the order in which withdrawals are made from a Member’s Accounts, amounts credited to a Member’s Roth Elective Deferral Account shall be withdrawn last.
     A former participant in the Rexton Plan shall be able to withdraw any company matching contributions, or discretionary employer contributions made to his or her accounts in the Rexton  Plan and related earnings in accordance with the provisions of Article X of the Siemens Savings Plan as applicable to the withdrawal of Employer Contributions; except that, in circumstances where the Rexton Plan would permit a withdrawal and the Siemens Savings Plan would not, the terms and conditions of the Rexton Plan, as in effect as of the time immediately prior to such transfer, shall apply. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a former participant in the Rexton Plan who has attained age 55 shall be able to withdraw company matching contributions and discretionary employer contributions made to his or her accounts in the Rexton Plan and relating earning without any suspension to Employer Contributions.
     A former participant in the Rexton Plan shall be able to withdraw any rollover contributions made to his or her accounts in the Rexton Plan and related earnings in accordance with the provisions of Article X of the Siemens Savings Plan as amended from time to time, and as applicable to the withdrawal of amounts from a participant’s Rollover Contribution Account; except that, in circumstances where the Rexton Plan would permit a withdrawal and the Siemens Savings Plan would not, the terms and conditions of the Rexton Plan, as in effect as of the time immediately prior to such transfer, shall apply.
     4. Distributions. The Applicable Dollar Amount defined in Section 11.1(a), shall include the amount credited to a Member’s Roth Elective Deferral Account. For purposes of determining whether a mandatory distribution is greater than $1,000, as described in the second paragraph of Section 11.1(a), a Member’s Roth Elective Deferral Account will be treated separately from the Members other Accounts. If the Member’s Accounts, excluding the Member’s Roth Elective Deferral Account, exceed $1,000 and the Member does not elect to have such portion

of his distribution paid directly to an eligible rollover or to receive the distribution directly in accordance with Article XI, then the plan administrator will pay the distribution of the such Accounts, excluding the Roth Elective Deferral Account, in a direct rollover to an individual retirement plan designated by the plan administrator. If the Member’s Roth Elective Deferral Account exceeds $1,000, the Member may elect to delay distribution (and no distribution of such Account may be made prior to the end of the calendar year in which the Member attains age 701/2 absent his election to receive a distribution) in which case the amount credited to such Account shall be distributed as of such subsequent date as the Member may elect in accordance with Section 11.3 subject to the limitations set forth in Section 11.6.
     5. Loans. In determining the vested account balance amount available under Article IX of the Siemens Savings Plan for loans, the amounts that were in an employee’s account in the Rexton Plan which were transferred to the Siemens Savings Plan shall be eligible for a loan, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Siemens Savings Plan. For purposes of Section 9.5 of the Plan, amounts credited to a participant’s Roth Elective Deferral Account shall be last in determining the order in which loans shall be made from a Member’s Accounts.
