SOUND RETIREMENT | 70




                                       Example: Forms of Payment
                Jeff and his spouse are both 56, and Jeff retires from the Sound Plan on
                October 1, 2015 with a standard reduced early retirement pension equal
                to $924 per month, payable as a single life annuity.  Jeff’s early retirement
                pension based on his Drug Plan benefit at September 30, 2008 is $830.
                The following table shows each of Jeff’s payment options, how much he would
                receive under the terms of the Sound Plan and Drug Plan, and the amount he
                can expect to be paid (the larger of the two calculations).
                                                                           So Jeff and

               DEATH BENEFITS

               If You are Married

               As described under “If You Are Married,” beginning on page 38,
               your surviving spouse will receive a death benefit equal to what
               he or she would have received had you retired at the later of your
               age at death or age 55 and selected the 50% spouse annuity.
               One-half of your September 30, 2008 pension benefit under the
               Drug Plan (reduced by the Drug Plan’s actuarial factors for the
               50% spouse annuity) will serve as a minimum death benefit for
               your surviving spouse.


               If You are Not Married
               If you die before retirement and after December 16, 2010, no
               death benefits will be paid.
