Supplemental Retirement Benefit The Executive will be entitled to receive a monthly Supplemental Retirement Benefit (the "Supplemental Retirement Benefit") commencing on the first day of the month coincident with or following the later of the Executive's termination of employment or attainment of age 60 and continuing for the remainder of his life. Unless otherwise elected by the Executive, the Supplemental Retirement Benefit shall be payable in the form of a 50% joint and survivor annuity which shall be unreduced for the actuarial value of the survivor's benefit. If the Executive's spouse at the time of his death is not more than four years younger than the Executive, the survivor benefit shall be equal to 50% of the Executive's benefit and shall be payable to his spouse for the remainder of the spouse's life. If the Executive's spouse at the time of his death is more than four years younger than the Executive, the benefit payable to the spouse shall be reduced to a benefit having the same actuarial value as the benefit that would have been payable had the spouse been four years younger than the Executive. The Executive shall also have the right to elect a 100% joint and survivor annuity, on an actuarially-reduced basis or a lump-sum payment, on an actuarially-reduced basis (if the Executive makes a timely lump-sum election which avoids constructive receipt), or any other form of payment available or provided under the "Supplemental Plans" defined in this Section 8. Actuarial reductions shall be based on the actual ages of the Executive and his spouse at the time of retirement. If the Executive is not married at the time of his retirement, actuarial adjustments shall be made as if the Executive had a spouse with the same date of birth as the Executive. In the event that the Executive elects a form of payment other than the automatic 50% joint and survivor annuity or other than a lump sum payment, and remarries subsequent to retirement, the benefits payable under this Section shall be actuarially adjusted at the time of the Executive's death to reflect the age of the subsequent spouse. If the Executive elects a lump sum payment at retirement, no further benefits will be payable under this Section. The amount of the monthly retirement benefit as an unreduced 50% joint and survivor annuity shall be equal to the product of (A) the "Service Percentage" multiplied by (B) the Executive's "Final Average Compensation," with such product reduced by (C) the total monthly amount of benefits (measured for purposes of this offset as if the Executive elected a 50% joint and survivor annuity payable as of the date benefits commence under this Agreement) provided to or in respect of the Executive under all tax-qualified retirement plans and related excess benefit and other benefit restoration plans maintained by the Company or the Bank for the Executive, including the Mellon Bank Benefit Restoration Plan and the Mellon Bank IRC Section 401(a)(17) Plan (the "Supplemental Plans") and benefits paid pursuant to Section 4.7 of the Mellon Financial Corporation Elective Deferred Compensation Plan for Senior Officers, but not including payments of any compensation previously deferred under any deferred compensation plan of the Company or the Bank, or interest thereon, or payments from the Mellon Financial Corporation Retirement Savings Plan, a 401(k) plan. The Executive owns interests in life insurance policies (the "Policies") as a participant in the Mellon Bank Senior Executive Life Insurance Plan. The Supplemental Retirement Benefit payable to the Executive hereunder shall be further reduced by the Executive's interest in the cash value of the Policies. This reduction shall be calculated in the same manner as under the Supplemental Plans. In the event the United States federal income tax laws change or are interpreted so as to cause Executive's ownership interests in Policies to be subject to taxation, the Executive and the Company will negotiate in good faith to mitigate the effects of such change. The Executive shall be vested in the Supplemental Retirement Benefit provided under this Paragraph as of February 1, 1998. The Executive shall elect the form of payment of his Supplemental Retirement Benefit at the same time and subject to the same provisions (including timing requirements and all reductions and/or penalties for late elections) as provided under the Supplemental Plans. After retirement, the Executive (or beneficiary who is receiving payments) may elect to receive his remaining Supplemental Retirement Benefits which are payable hereunder in a lump sum payment, calculated in the same manner and subject to the same reductions as under the Supplemental Plans. In the event that the Executive elects a form of payment of his Supplemental Retirement Benefits which provides for payments to continue after his death and the Executive dies without having received all payments of Supplemental Retirement Benefits that may be payable hereunder, then the unpaid balance of such benefits shall be paid in accordance with the form of payment elected by the Executive. Any such remaining payments shall be made to the Executive's beneficiary provided under the Supplemental Plans, subject to any contrary written instructions from the Executive designating a different beneficiary for such payments. The Executive may also elect, upon not less than 12 months' advance written notice, to have the payment of the Supplemental Retirement Benefit commence on the first day of any month coincident with or after the later of his termination of employment or attainment of age 55. In this event, the Supplemental Retirement Benefit will be subject to an early payment reduction amount equal to 0.5% per month (6% per annum) for each month that payments commence before attainment of age 60. In the event of such retirement, the Term and the Company's obligations to make payments under Section 4 above shall cease as of the retirement date. The Executive may also elect, upon not less than 12 months' advance written notice prior to the commencement of Supplemental Retirement Benefit payments, to have the lump sum value of the Supplemental Retirement Benefit to which the Executive would otherwise be entitled applied to the purchase of a single premium annuity in a form and from an issuer selected or concurred in by the Executive. In the event of such an election by the Executive, the sole responsibilities of the Company shall be to apply the amount of the lump sum value of the Supplemental Retirement Benefit to the purchase of the annuity selected or concurred in by the Executive and the distribution of such annuity to the Executive. Thereafter, the Executive shall look solely to the issuer of the annuity for payment on account of or in connection with the Supplemental Retirement Benefit and agrees that the Company and its affiliates, and each of their officers, directors and employees, shall have no further liability in respect of the Supplemental Retirement Benefit or by reason of the application of the lump sum value as elected by the Executive or the selection of the form or issuer of the annuity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Executive receive any payments under this Section 8 or be deemed to be retired from the Company while the Executive is entitled to payments under Paragraph 6(a) or Paragraph 6(b) or during any period for which the Executive receives additional service credit in respect of a "Qualifying Termination" as provided in clause (B) of the definition of "Service Percentage" below. As used in this Section 8:
Elective Deferrals (a) The Committee may establish procedures pursuant to which Employee may elect to defer, until a time or times later than the vesting of a Performance Share Unit, receipt of all or a portion of the shares of Common Stock deliverable in respect of a Performance Share Unit, all on such terms and conditions as the Committee (or its designee) shall determine in its sole discretion. If any such deferrals are permitted for Employee, then notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or the Plan to the contrary, an Employee who elects such deferral shall not have any rights as a stockholder with respect to any such deferred shares of Common Stock unless and until the date the deferral expires and certificates representing such shares are required to be delivered to Employee. The foregoing notwithstanding, no deferrals of Dividend Equivalents related to any Performance Share Units under this Award will be permitted. Moreover, the Committee further retains the authority and discretion to modify and/or terminate existing deferral elections, procedures and distribution options. (b) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, if deferral of Performance Share Units is permitted, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted to permit the deferral of compensation only as allowed in compliance with the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code and any provision that would conflict with such requirements shall not be valid or enforceable. Employee acknowledges, without limitation, and consents that application of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code to this Agreement may require additional delay of payments otherwise payable under this Agreement. Employee and the Company further hereby agree to execute such further instruments and take such further action as reasonably may be necessary to comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code.
Early Retirement Benefit Upon Termination of Service prior to the Normal Retirement Age for reasons other than death, Change of Control or Disability, the Company shall pay to the Director the benefit described in this Section 4.2 in lieu of any other benefit under this Agreement.
