               L ATE RETIREMENT PENSION


               ELIGIBILITY

               You are eligible for a late retirement pension if you have met the
               eligibility requirements for a regular pension or a deferred vested
               pension, but wish to defer the start of your pension until after
               your regular pension would ordinarily begin. However, whether
               or not you stop working, a late retirement pension must begin by
               April 1 following the calendar year you reach age 70½.

               YOUR LATE RETIREMENT PENSION AMOUNT
               Your late retirement pension amount is determined in the same
               way as the regular pension amount, as described on page 16,
               except that it includes benefits earned to your late retirement
               date (or April 1 following the year you reach age 70½, if sooner).
               Each year after normal retirement and prior to your benefit
               commencement date, the additional benefit you earn will be the
               larger of the benefit calculated under the Plan’s formula, or the
               prior year’s benefit times an actuarial increase factor. This amount
               is then adjusted for the form of payment you select.
