APPENDIX A |
A-1 |
An Executive shall commence participation in the Plan following his or her execution of a form provided by the Company authorizing periodic payroll deductions in amounts sufficient to pay the Executives share of the premiums on life insurance policies on the Executives life. From time to time, the Executive shall also complete any forms required by the Administrator or an insurer and submit to any necessary physical examinations requested by an insurer.
If the Executive dies before Termination of Employment, the death benefits payable under the policies described in Article IV shall be paid (i) to the Trustee to the extent and in the amount of the total premiums paid by the Employer and the Trustee, and not previously reimbursed, under the policies on the Executives life, and (ii) to the Executives Beneficiary, to the extent of the remainder; provided, however, in no event shall a death benefit payment be made to an Executives Beneficiary in an amount greater than three times the Executives annual base salary at the time of his or her death.
Benefits payable pursuant to this Section shall begin as of the first day of the month following the Executives Termination of Employment.
Section 6.04 Deferred Vested Benefit. An Executive who Terminates Employment before he is eligible for benefits pursuant to Section 6.02 or 6.03 shall be entitled to receive from the Trustee, beginning as of his Annuity Starting Date, in monthly installments, a Supplemental Life Annuity in an annual amount equal to his Vested percentage multiplied by the amount determined in accordance with Section 6.02, and reduced as provided in Section 6.03. The Annuity Starting Date for benefits payable pursuant to this Section shall be the first day of the month next following the later of the Executives (i) Termination of Employment or (ii) 55th birthday.
Section 6.05 Survivor Benefit. If the Executive dies after Termination of Employment with a Vested right to a Supplemental Life Annuity, the following survivor benefits shall be paid:
(a) If the Executive dies on or after his Annuity Starting Date, a survivor benefit equal to 50% of the monthly amount payable to the Executive during his life shall be paid to the Executives Spouse for the remainder of her life, beginning with the first day of the month after the Executives death; provided, however, if the Executive had not received Supplemental Life Annuity payments for at least 15 years before his death, his Spouse shall be entitled to receive the same monthly benefit that was payable to the Executive for the remainder of such 15-year period, and the 50% benefit thereafter for the remainder of her life. If the Executive and his Spouse, if any, should die before receiving Supplemental Life Annuity benefits for at least 15 years, a lump-sum payment equal to the Present Actuarial Value of the remaining benefit due to be paid over the 15-year period shall be paid to the Executives designated Beneficiary.
(b) If the Executive dies before his Annuity Starting Date, a survivor benefit shall be paid pursuant to this Subsection, beginning as of the date that would have been the Executives Annuity Starting Date, if he had Terminated Employment on the date of his death and lived until distribution of benefits under the Plan began. If the Executive is survived by his Spouse, a monthly survivor benefit shall be paid to his Spouse for the remainder of her life (i) in an amount equal to 100% of the amount that would have been payable to the Executive under the preceding provisions of this Article (if he had Terminated Employment on the date of his death and lived) for the first 15 years in which such payments were made, and (ii) in an amount equal to 50% of the amount that would have been payable to the Executive under the preceding provisions of this Article (if he had Terminated Employment on the date of his death and lived) for periods after the first 15 years in which such payments. If the Executives Spouse dies before payments are made for a period of 15 years, a lump-sum payment equal to the Present Actuarial Value of the remaining benefit due to be paid over the 15-year period shall be paid to the Executives designated Beneficiary.
Section 6.06 Distribution of Small Benefits. Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Article, if the Present Actuarial Value of the benefits payable pursuant to this Article as of the Annuity Starting Date is less than $25,000, the Trustee shall pay
the Present Actuarial Value of such payments as a single lump sum payment within 60 days following the Executives Termination of Employment.
Section 6.07 Delay in Payment for Specified Employees. Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, to the extent required by Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i), distribution of the Supplemental Life Annuity to a Participant who is a Specified Employee on account of his Termination of Employment for any reason other than death shall be delayed until the earliest date permitted by such section. If the Supplemental Life Annuity is payable in the form of a monthly annuity, the sum of the monthly payments that are required to be delayed in accordance with this Section shall be paid with the first permitted monthly payment. Any delayed payments shall be increased by interest from the first day of the month following the Executives Termination of Employment to the date on which his benefit payments begin at the applicable interest rate for retroactive annuity starting dates under the Pension Plan.
Section 6.08 Designating a Beneficiary. The Executive may designate a Beneficiary only by filing a completed Applicable Form with the Administrator during his life. The Executives proper filing of a Beneficiary designation shall cancel all prior Beneficiary designations. If the Executive does not designate a Beneficiary, or if all properly designated Beneficiaries die before the Executive, the Executives Beneficiary shall be his Spouse, if living at the time of the Executives death, or if his Spouse is not then living, to the individual(s), if any, named as the Executives beneficiary under his Employer-provided group life insurance program, who are living at the time of the Executives death or, if no such beneficiaries are then living, to the Executives estate.

ARTICLE VIII
ACCELERATED PAYMENT UPON CHANGE OF CONTROL
Upon a Change of Control, an Executive who is entitled to benefits under the Plan, other than an Executive who has Terminated Employment with a right to a Deferred
Vested Benefit, shall become fully Vested in the Supplemental Life Annuity and, notwithstanding anything in Article VI to the contrary, shall receive, in place of future payments under the Plan, a lump sum payment equal to the Present Actuarial Value of the Supplemental Life Annuity accrued to the date of the Change of Control and remaining to be paid under the Plan. The lump sum Present Actuarial Value of the Supplemental Life Annuity benefit payable shall be calculated assuming that, solely for the purpose of reducing the benefit for early commencement, that the Executive, other than one who is entitled to a Deferred Vested Benefit, has already met the conditions for unreduced benefits described in Section 6.03 at the earliest possible time, taking into consideration the Executives age and Service.
ARTICLE IX
ADMINISTRATION OF PLAN
Section 9.01 Powers and Responsibilities of the Administrator.
(a) The Administrator shall have full responsibility and discretionary authority to control and manage the operation and administration of the Plan. The Administrator is authorized to accept service of legal process on behalf of the Plan. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any action taken by the Administrator pursuant to a reasonable interpretation of the Plan shall be binding and conclusive on all persons claiming benefits under the Plan, except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines that such action was arbitrary or capricious.
(b) The Administrators discretionary powers include, but are not limited to, the following:
(1) to interpret Plan documents, decide all questions of eligibility, determine whether a Participant has Terminated Employment, determine the amount, manner, and timing of distributions under the Plan, and resolve any claims for benefits;
(2) to prescribe procedures to be followed by a Participant, Beneficiary, or other person applying for benefits;
(3) to appoint or employ persons to assist in the administration of the Plan and any other agents as it deems advisable;
(4) to adopt such rules as it deems necessary or appropriate; and
(5) to maintain and keep adequate records concerning the Plan, including sufficient records to determine each Participants eligibility to participate and his interest in the Plan, and its proceedings and acts in such form and detail as it may decide.
Section 9.02 Indemnification. The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrator, any person serving on a committee that serves as Administrator, and any officer, employee, or director of an Employer to whom any duty
or power relating to the administration of the Plan has been properly delegated from and against any cost, expense, or liability arising out of any act or omission in connection with the Plan, unless arising out of such persons own fraud or bad faith.
Section 9.03 Claims and Claims Review Procedure.
(a) All Benefit Claims must be made in accordance with procedures established by the Administrator from time to time. A Benefit Claim and any appeal thereof may be filed by the claimant or his authorized representative.
(b) The Administrator shall provide the claimant with written or electronic notice of its approval or Denial of a properly filed Benefit Claim within 90 days after receiving the claim, unless special circumstances require an extension of the decision period. If special circumstances require an extension of the time for processing the claim, the initial 90-day period may be extended for up to an additional 90 days. If an extension is required, the Administrator shall provide written notice of the required extension before the end of the initial 90-day period, which notice shall (i) specify the circumstances requiring an extension and (ii) the date by which the Administrator expects to make a decision.
(c) If a Benefit Claim is Denied, the Administrator shall provide the claimant with written or electronic notice containing (i) the specific reasons for the Denial, (ii) references to the applicable Plan provisions on which the Denial is based, (iii) a description of any additional material or information needed and why such material or information is necessary, and (iv) a description of the applicable review process and time limits.
(d) A claimant may appeal the Denial of a Benefit Claim by filing a written appeal with the Administrator within 60 days after receiving notice of the Denial. The claimants appeal shall be deemed filed on receipt by the Administrator. If a claimant does not file a timely appeal, the Administrators decision shall be deemed final, conclusive, and binding on all persons.
(e) The Administrator shall provide the claimant with written or electronic notice of its decision on appeal within 60 days after receipt of the claimants appeal request, unless special circumstances require an extension of this time period. If special circumstances require an extension of the time to process the appeal, the processing period may be extended for up to an additional 60 days. If an extension is required, the Administrator shall provide written notice of the required extension to the claimant before the end of the original 60-day period, which shall specify the circumstances requiring an extension and the date by which the Administrator expects to make a decision. If the Benefit Claim is Denied on appeal, the Administrator shall provide the claimant with written or electronic notice containing a statement that the claimant is entitled to receive, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to and copies of all documents, records, and other information relevant to the Benefit Claim, as well as the specific reasons for the Denial on appeal and references to the applicable Plan provisions on which the Denial is based. The Administrators decision on appeal shall be final,
conclusive, and binding on all persons, subject to the claimants right to file a civil action pursuant to ERISA Section 502(a).
ARTICLE X
GROSS-UP PAYMENTS
If payment of the lump sum Present Actuarial Value of the Supplemental Life Annuity pursuant to Article VIII (Accelerated Payment) causes the Accelerated Payment and any other payments made in connection with a Change of Control (together with the Accelerated Payment, the Total Payments) to be subject to the tax (Excise Tax) imposed by Code Section 4999, the Company shall pay to the Executive an additional amount (Gross-Up Payment) such that the net amount retained by the Executive, after deduction of any Excise Tax paid or payable (and not grossed-up under a similar provision of another plan or program sponsored by the Company) on the lump sum and such other Total Payments and any federal, state and local income tax and Excise Tax upon the payment provided for by this Article, shall be equal to the Accelerated Payment and such other Total Payments. If any of such other Total Payments are subject to the Excise Tax without regard to the Accelerated Payment, a Gross-Up Payment shall be made, but shall be limited to the increase in the Excise Tax (plus any federal, state, and local income tax and Excise Tax on such Gross-Up Payment) arising solely as a result of the Accelerated Payment.
For purposes of determining whether any of the payments described above will be subject to the Excise Tax and the amount of such Excise Tax, (i) any other payments or benefits received or to be received by the Executive in connection with a Change of Control, whether payable pursuant to the terms of the Plan or any other plan, arrangement, or agreement with the Company, its successors, any person whose actions result in a change in control of the Company or any corporation affiliated (or which, as a result of the completion of a transaction causing a change of control, will become affiliated) with the Company within the meaning of Code Section 1504 shall be treated as parachute payments within the meaning of Code Section 280G(b)(2), and all excess parachute payments within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(1) shall be treated as subject to the Excise Tax, unless in the opinion of tax counsel selected by the Companys independent auditors and acceptable to the Executive, the payments (in whole or in part) do not constitute parachute payments, or such excess parachute payments (in whole or in part) represent reasonable compensation for services actually rendered within the meaning of Code Section 280G(b)(4) either in their entirety or in excess of the base amount within the meaning of Code Section 280G(b)(3), or are otherwise not subject to the Excise Tax, (ii) the amount of the payments that shall be treated as subject to the Excise Tax shall be equal to the lesser of (A) the total amount of the payments or (B) the amount of excess parachute payments within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(1) (after applying clause (i), above), and (iii) the value of any non-cash benefits or any deferred payment or benefit shall be determined by the Companys independent auditors in accordance with the principles of Code Sections 280G(d)(3) and (4). In the event that the Excise Tax is subsequently determined to be less than the amount taken into account hereunder at the time of payment, the Executive shall repay to the Company at the time that the amount of such reduction in Excise Tax is finally determined the portion of the
Gross-Up Payment attributable to such reduction (plus the portion of the Gross-Up Payment attributable to the Excise Tax and federal and state and local income tax imposed on the Gross-Up Payment being repaid by the Executive if such repayment results in a reduction in Excise Tax and/or a federal and state and local income tax deduction) plus interest on the amount of such repayment at the rate provided in Code Section 1274(d). In the event that the Excise Tax is determined to exceed the amount taken into account hereunder at the time of the Gross-Up Payment (including by reason of any payment the existence or amount of which cannot be determined at the time of the Gross-Up Payment), the Company shall make an additional Gross-Up Payment in respect of such excess (plus any interest payable with respect to such excess) at the time that the amount of such excess is finally determined.
To the extent that earlier payment is not required by the preceding provisions of this Section, the Companys payment pursuant to this Section shall be made not later than the end of the calendar year next following the calendar year in which the Participant remits the related taxes.
ARTICLE XI
PRESERVATION OF ACCRUED BENEFITS
Nothing in this restatement shall reduce the Supplemental Life Annuity payable with respect to an Executive, to the extent accrued as of December 31, 2005, under the terms of the Plan, as in effect immediately before this restatement.
ARTICLE XII
AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION
The Plan shall continue in force with respect to any Executive until the completion of any payments due hereunder and shall be binding upon any successor to substantially all the assets of the Company. The Company may, however, at any time, amend the Plan to provide that no additional benefits shall accrue with respect to any Executive under the Plan; provided, however, that no such amendment shall (i) deprive any Executive or Beneficiary of any benefit that accrued under the Plan before the adoption of such amendment; (ii) result in an acceleration of benefit payments in violation of Code Section 409A and the guidance thereunder, or (iii) result in any other violation of Section 409A or the guidance thereunder. The Company may also, at any time, amend the Plan retroactively or otherwise, if and to the extent that it deems such action appropriate in light of government regulations or other legal requirements.
ARTICLE XIII
MISCELLANEOUS
Section 13.01 Obligations of Employer. The Employers only obligation hereunder shall be a contractual obligation to make payments to Executives, Spouses, or other Beneficiaries entitled to benefits provided for herein when due, and only to the extent that such payments are not made from the Trust. Nothing herein shall give a Participant, Spouse, Beneficiary, or other person any right to a specific asset of an Employer or the Trust, other than as a general creditor of the Employer.
Section 13.02 Employment Rights. Nothing contain herein shall confer any right on an Executive to be continued in the employ of any Employer or affect the Executives right to participate in and receive benefits under and in accordance with any pension, profit-sharing, incentive compensation, or other benefit plan or program of an Employer.
Section 13.03 Non-Alienation. Except as otherwise required by a Qualified Domestic Relations Order, no right or interest of an Executive, Spouse, or other Beneficiary under this Plan shall be subject to voluntary or involuntary alienation, assignment, or transfer of any kind. Payments shall be made to an Alternate Payee to the extent provided in a Qualified Domestic Relations Order. To the extent permitted by Code Section 409A, payments pursuant to a Qualified Domestic Relations Order may be made in a lump sum and before the Participants earliest retirement age (as defined by ERISA Section 206(d)(3)(E)(ii)).
Section 13.04 Tax Withholding. The Employer or Trustee may withhold from any distribution hereunder amounts that the Employer or Trustee deems necessary to satisfy federal, state, or local tax withholding requirements (or make other arrangements satisfactory to the Employer or Trustee with regard to such taxes).
Section 13.05 Other Plans. Amounts and benefits paid under the Plan shall not be considered compensation to the Executive for purposes of computing any benefits to which he may be entitled under any other pension or retirement plan maintained by an Employer.
Section 13.06 Liability of Affiliated Employers. If any payment to be made under the Plan is to be made on account of an Executive who is or was employed by an Affiliated Employer, the cost of such payment shall be borne in such proportion as the Company and the Affiliated Employer agree.
This Restatement of the Cummins Inc. Supplemental Life Insurance and Deferred Income Plan has been signed by the Companys duly authorized officer, acting behalf of the Company, this day of December, 2008.

APPENDIX A
Guidelines for Enhanced SERP
For Executives Joining Cummins Mid-Career
General Criteria
The Companys Chief Executive Officer (CEO) may designate an enhanced SERP benefit for an Executive (Officer or Executive Director) joining Cummins mid-career. In determining whether an enhanced benefit is appropriate and, if so, the amount of such benefit, the CEO shall consider:
· any existing pension benefits of the Executive from previous employers;
· the recruiting and retention value of the enhanced benefit;
· the amount of time that the Executive is expected to work before retiring from Cummins (as a rule, at least age 55; as a target, at least age 58); and
· the amount of Service that the Executive will have upon likely retirement.
An enhanced benefit may also be used to assist the transition of other Officers, if the CEO determines that such a benefit is in the best interests of Cummins.
The enhanced retirement benefit formula is to be applied at the discretion of the CEO, who has the obligation to inform the Administrator of such benefits.
The CEO will define the benefit or formula applicable to each case in the future. For existing Executives, the following is authorized:
· Grow benefit by double-accrual approach: 4% per year for each of the first 10 years of Service; 2% per year for next five years of Service, maximum 50% at 15 years of Service.
· Replace rule of 80 with rule of 70, which means eligible for unreduced benefits upon achieving at least age 58, at least 10 years of Service, but the total of the two must be at least 70. (This does not mean a full 50% benefit, but merely unreduced accrued benefit.)
· Fully vested after five years of Service. (Normally vesting begins at five years and is not 100% until ten years of Service are completed.
· A full 50% benefit will be provided at age 60, even if not achieved by the formula.
Upon a Change of Control, the designated Executives:
· become fully Vested, regardless of Service (no change from current Plan);
· will have a Final Average Total Cash Compensation equal the average for that received during their actual years of Service, if less than five years of Service;
· will be deemed to have met the requirements for unreduced commencement of benefits (no change from current Plan); and
· will receive a lump sum payment of the Present Actuarial Value of the benefit accrued to the date of the Change of Control, using the formula designated for the respective Executive (in the case of the existing group, the double-accrual formula).
The foregoing provisions apply to the following officers:
