                             Example 2: Additional credited service earned after October 1, 2008
                        As of September 30, 2008, Joy is age 54 and has 15 years of credited
                        service under the Drug Plan and a monthly benefit of $800, payable at
                        normal retirement as a single life annuity. She is not married. She completes
                        six additional years of credited service under the Sound Plan, earning an
                        additional pension benefit of $120/month, and retires on October 1, 2014.
                        When she retires at age 60, Joy’s total benefit under the Sound Plan is
                        determined after applying her Sound Plan early retirement reduction ($920 x
                        82% = $754.40/month). This is compared to her September 30, 2008 benefit
                        under the Drug Plan, using the Drug Plan’s factors $(800 x 85% = $680.00/
                        month). Because Joy receives the higher of these two calculations, she will
                        receive a pension benefit of $754.40 per month, payable as a single life
                        annuity. This amount would then be adjusted if she selects a different form of
                        payment.

                       DISABILITY PENSION

                       If you become disabled on or after October 1, 2008, the
                       provisions of the Sound Plan will apply, as described in “Disability
                       Pension” beginning on page 26. If you became disabled before
                       October 1, 2008, the provisions of the Drug Plan will apply.

                       LATE RETIREMENT PENSION

                       Your Late Retirement Pension Amount

                       If you continue working after your normal retirement date, you
                       will continue to accrue pension benefits while you are working.
                       Each year, 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, as described in “Late
                       Retirement Pension” beginning on page 30.

                       When you eventually retire, your late retirement pension benefit
                       will be no less than the actuarially increased value of your benefit
                       under the Drug Plan through September 30, 2008, using the Drug
                       Plan’s actuarial factors.

                       FORMS OF PAYMENT
                       The forms of payment available to you depend on whether you
                       earned credited service in the Sound Plan on or after October 1,
                       2008.

                       Â   If you do not earn any credited service on or after October 1,
                          2008, your benefits will be determined under the terms of the
                          Drug Plan as of September 30, 2008.

                       Â   If you earned credited service on or after October 1,
                          2008, your payment choices and adjusted amounts will be
                          determined under the terms of the Sound Plan. In general,
