| I. | Special Rules Applicable to Former Participants of and Balances Merged from the ABN AMRO Group Supplemental Savings Plan (“SSP”): |
| (a) | Special Payment Elections: Each Participant with an account balance(s) merged from the ABN AMRO Group Supplemental Savings Plan (“SSP Account Balance(s)”) who was in the active service of a Participating Employer on April 1, 2008 was given the opportunity during 2008 to make a payment election applicable to the Participant’s SSP Account Balance(s). The Participant could elect from among the class year payment options set forth in Section 2.8(b), and such election was immediately effective. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such payment election was not applicable to any amounts otherwise payable in 2008 and did not cause any amounts to be paid in 2008 that would not otherwise be payable in such year. In the event a Participant covered by this Schedule 5.6(I)(a) failed to make a payment election with respect to the Participant’s SSP Account Balance(s), the payment method shall be a lump sum payment following Termination of Employment as set forth in Section 2.8(b). Any subsequent change to such payment election must comply with the requirements of Section 2.8(c). Payments pursuant to such election shall otherwise be subject to the requirements of Section 2.8, including the default lump sum payment rules of Section 2.8(d) and the special rules for certain “specified employees” pursuant to Section 2.8(i). Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, no default lump sum payment was made pursuant to Section 2.8(d) if such payment would have caused any amounts to be paid in 2008 that would not otherwise have been payable in such year. |
| (b) | Payment Rule Applicable to Terminated SSP Participants The SSP Account Balance(s) of each Participant who was not in the active service of a Participating Employer on April 1, 2008 shall be paid to the Participant at the time and in the form applicable to the Participant’s account balance(s) under the SSP on March 31, 2008. Each such Participant shall not have the opportunity to make any subsequent change to the payment election applicable to the Participant’s SSP Account Balance(s) under the SSP on March 31, 2008 as provided in Section 2.8(c). In all other respects, each such Participant’s rights shall be determined under the Restoration Plan, and each such Participant shall be subject to all of the restrictions, limitations and other terms and provisions of the Restoration Plan, including the special rules for certain “specified employees” pursuant to Section 2.8(i), but excluding the default lump sum payment rules of Section 2.8(d). |
| (c) | Ongoing Restoration Plan Participation: No former participant in the SSP shall be eligible to otherwise participate in the Restoration Plan unless such participant becomes eligible to participate in the Restoration Plan under Section 2.1. |
| II. | Special Rules Applicable to Former Participants of and Balances Merged from the Countrywide Financial Corporation Supplemental Savings and Investment Deferred Compensation Plan (“SSIP”): |
| (a) | Payment Rule Applicable to SSIP Participants The account balance(s) merged from the Countrywide Financial Corporation Supplemental Savings and Investment Deferred Compensation Plan (“SSIP Account Balance(s)”) on April 6, 2009 shall be paid to each applicable Participant at the time and in the form applicable to the Participant’s account balance(s) under the SSIP on April 5, 2009. Each such Participant shall not have the opportunity to make any subsequent change to the payment election applicable to the Participant’s SSIP Account Balance(s) under the SSIP on April 5, 2009 as provided in Section 2.8(c). In all other respects, each such Participant’s rights shall be determined under the Restoration Plan, and each such Participant shall be subject to all of the restrictions, limitations and other terms and provisions of the Restoration Plan, including the special rules for certain “specified employees” pursuant to Section 2.8(i), but excluding the default lump sum payment rules of Section 2.8(d). |
