3.3 Form of Payment
Payment of the benefit described in Article 2 above shall be made in a lump sum that is the
actuarial equivalent of the five-year-certain and life annuity measured as of the person’s pension
commencement date specified in Section 3.1 above. For this purpose, actuarial equivalence shall be
determined by the Plan Administrator using the factors and procedures that are used for the
calculation of the lump-sum payment option under the Pension Plan.
3.4 Adjustment for Key Employees
A Key Employee's benefit payable hereunder shall not be less than the amount equal to the
person’s benefit calculated as of the pension commencement date that would apply if the person
were not a Key Employee plus interest from such date until the person’s actual pension
commencement date. For this purpose, interest shall be credited at a rate equal to the Citibank prime
lending rate in effect on the date the person separates from employment, or, if the person’s last day of
employment is on or after November 1, 2022, at the interest rate determined under section
4.4(D)(3)(b)(iii) of Part 1 of the ExxonMobil Pension Plan on the first of the month immediately
following the person’s last day of employment, but taking into account only the first segment rate for
this purpose.
4. Death Benefit
4.1 Benefits Payable On Account of Death
(A) In General
In the event a portion of a pension death benefit or a “career annuity subject to deferred
commencement that commences by reason of death” that becomes payable under the terms of the
Pension Plan on account of the death of a participant cannot be paid from the Pension Plan because
of the application of Code sections 415 and 401(a)(17), a lump-sum death benefit of equivalent value
shall be paid to the participant’s beneficiary (as determined under section 4.2 below) under this Plan.
For this purpose, equivalent value shall be determined by the Plan Administrator using the factors and
procedures that are used for the calculation of similar benefits under the Pension Plan.
(B) Death Benefit Payable During Post-termination Deferral Period
If a participant who is a Key Employee is entitled to a benefit under Article 2 above on
account of his or her retirement, but dies during the six-month period following the person’s
retirement, then the person’s benefit to which he or she would otherwise be entitled shall be
immediately payable as a lump-sum death benefit of equivalent value to the participant’s beneficiary
(determined under section 4.2 below). For this purpose, equivalent value shall be determined by the
Plan Administrator using the factors and procedures that are used for the calculation of similar
benefits under the Pension Plan.
(C) Excluded Benefits
Neither the Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity payment option, nor the Surviving
Spouse Annuity benefit, as such are provided for under the Pension Plan, are provided as benefits
under this Plan.
