on behalf of each Eligible Employee who:
(A) was eligible under the DB SERP as of December 31, 2007, and
(B) has neither attained, nor will attain, age sixty-six (66) during the Plan Year to which the
Transitional Defined Contribution would otherwise relate if credited to such Eligible Employee's Defined
Contribution Account.
(2) The aggregate amount of such Transitional Defined Contributions for the Plan Year for each
Eligible Employee who has satisfied the eligibility criteria reflected in Section 4-1(b)(1) above, shall be equal to the
product of:
(A) that portion of such Eligible Employee's Eligible Compensation that exceeds the
Compensation Limitation, and
(B) the applicable percentage that corresponds with the highest age attained by the Eligible
Participant during the Plan Year to which the Transitional Defined Contribution would otherwise relate,
according to the schedule set forth below:
