All acquired intangible assets other than goodwill are being amortized. Customer-related intangible assets primarily consist of customer relationships. Program-related intangible assets consist of long-term programs represented by current contracts and probable follow on work. Technology-related intangible assets primarily consist of technology, patents, intellectual property and software. Marketing-related intangible assets primarily consist of trademarks, trade names and non-compete agreements.
Amortization of acquired intangible assets was $6,660 for the three months ended January 3, 2015 and $7,563 for the three months ended December 28, 2013. Based on acquired intangible assets recorded at January 3, 2015, amortization is expected to be approximately $24,700 in 2015, $23,200 in 2016, $20,000 in 2017, $18,200 in 2018 and $16,300 in 2019.

The Securitization Program matures on February 13, 2015 and effectively increases our borrowing capacity by up to $100,000. Under the Securitization Program, we sell certain trade receivables and related rights to an affiliate, which in turn sells an undivided variable percentage ownership interest in the trade receivables to a financial institution, while maintaining a subordinated interest in a portion of the pool of trade receivables. The Securitization Program can be extended by agreement of the parties thereto for successive 364-day terms. Interest for the Securitization Program is based on prevailing market rates for short-term commercial paper plus an applicable margin. A commitment fee is also charged based on a percentage of the unused amounts available and is not material. The agreement governing the Securitization Program contains restrictions and covenants which include limitations on the making of certain restricted payments, creation of certain liens, and certain corporate acts such as mergers, consolidations and sale of substantially all assets. The Securitization Program has a minimum borrowing requirement equal to the lesser of either 80% of our borrowing capacity or 100% of our borrowing base, which is a subset of the trade receivables sold under this agreement. As of January 3, 2015, our minimum borrowing requirement is $80,000.
In addition to the Securitization Program, we maintain short-term credit facilities with banks throughout the world that are principally demand lines subject to revision by the banks.
On November 21, 2014, we completed the sale of $300,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.25% senior notes due December 1, 2022 at par with interest paid semiannually on June 1 and December 1 of each year, commencing on June 1, 2015. The aggregate net proceeds of $294,718 were used to repay indebtedness under our U.S. bank credit facility, thereby increasing the unused portion of our revolving credit facility.
On May 22, 2014, we amended our U.S. revolving credit facility. The amendment increased the capacity on our revolving credit facility from $900,000 to $1,100,000 and extended the maturity of the credit facility to May 22, 2019. The amendment also provides an expansion option, which permits us to request an increase of up to $200,000 to the credit facility upon satisfaction of certain conditions. The credit facility is secured by substantially all of our U.S. assets.
On December 19, 2013, we repurchased our 7.25% senior subordinated notes due on January 15, 2018 at 103.625%, pursuant to an early redemption right. We redeemed the aggregate principal amount of $200,000 using proceeds drawn from our U.S. revolving credit facility. The associated loss on the redemption includes $6,945 of call premium paid to external bondholders and a $1,057 write off of deferred debt issuance costs.

Note 7 - Derivative Financial Instruments
We principally use derivative financial instruments to manage interest rate risk associated with long-term debt and foreign exchange risk related to foreign operations and foreign currency transactions. We enter into derivative financial instruments with a number of major financial institutions to minimize counterparty credit risk.
Derivatives designated as hedging instruments
Interest rate swaps are used to adjust the proportion of total debt that is subject to variable and fixed interest rates. The interest rate swaps are designated as hedges of the amount of future cash flows related to interest payments on variable-rate debt that, in combination with the interest payments on the debt, convert a portion of the variable-rate debt to fixed-rate debt. At January 3, 2015, we had interest rate swaps with notional amounts totaling $320,000. The interest rate swaps effectively convert this amount of variable-rate debt to fixed-rate debt at 2.0%, including the applicable margin of 138 basis points as of January 3, 2015. The interest will revert back to variable rates based on LIBOR plus the applicable margin upon the maturity of the interest rate swaps. These interest rate swaps mature at various times between January 15, 2015 and June 5, 2017.
We use foreign currency forward contracts as cash flow hedges to effectively fix the exchange rates on future payments and revenue. To mitigate exposure in movements between various currencies, primarily the Philippine peso, we had outstanding foreign currency forwards with notional amounts of $41,297 at January 3, 2015. These contracts mature at various times through August 26, 2016.
These interest rate swaps and foreign currency forwards are recorded in the consolidated condensed balance sheets at fair value and the related gains or losses are deferred in shareholders’ equity as a component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) (AOCI). These deferred gains and losses are reclassified into expense during the periods in which the related payments or receipts affect earnings. However, to the extent the interest rate swaps and foreign currency forwards are not perfectly effective in offsetting the change in the value of the payments and revenue being hedged, the ineffective portion of these contracts is recognized in earnings immediately. Ineffectiveness was not material in the first three months of 2015 or 2014.

Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments
We also have foreign currency exposure on balances, primarily intercompany, that are denominated in foreign currencies and are adjusted to current values using period-end exchange rates. The resulting gains or losses are recorded in the consolidated condensed statements of earnings. To minimize foreign currency exposure, we had foreign currency forwards with notional amounts of $145,420 at January 3, 2015. The foreign currency forwards are recorded in the consolidated condensed balance sheets at fair value and resulting gains or losses are recorded in the consolidated condensed statements of earnings. We recorded the following gains or losses on foreign currency forwards which are included in other income or expense and generally offset the gains or losses from the foreign currency adjustments on the intercompany balances that are also included in other income or expense:

Note 8 - Fair Value
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Depending on the nature of the asset or liability, various techniques and assumptions can be used to estimate fair value. The definition of the fair value hierarchy is as follows:
Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities.
Level 3 – Inputs for which significant valuation assumptions are unobservable in a market and therefore value is based on the best available data, some of which is internally developed and considers risk premiums that a market participant would require.
Our derivatives are valued using various pricing models or discounted cash flow analyses that incorporate observable market data, such as interest rate yield curves and currency rates, and are classified as Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy. Our Level 3 fair value liabilities represent contingent consideration recorded for acquisitions to be paid if various financial targets are met. The amounts recorded were calculated for each payment scenario in each period using an estimate of the probability of the future cash outflows. The varying contingent payments were then discounted to the present value at the weighted average cost of capital. Fair value is assessed on a quarterly basis, or whenever events or circumstances change that indicates an adjustment is required. The assessment includes an evaluation of the performance of the acquired business compared to previous expectations, changes to future projections and the probability of achieving the earn out targets.
The following table presents the fair values and classification of our financial assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis as of January 3, 2015:

Note 10 - Restructuring
In 2013, we initiated restructuring plans to better align our cost structure with projected sales levels. The restructuring actions taken have resulted in workforce reductions, primarily in the U.S., Europe and Asia.
In 2014, we initiated restructuring plans in response to the business outlook, which includes a change in the mix of sales and delays and cancellations of orders for certain product lines. The restructuring actions taken have resulted in workforce reductions, primarily in the U.S. and Europe.

As of January 3, 2015, restructuring consists of $5,634 for the 2014 plan and $109 for the 2013 plan.
Note 11 - Income Taxes
The effective tax rates of 28.7% for the three months ended January 3, 2015 and 31.5% and for the three months ended December 28, 2013 are lower than would be expected by applying the U.S. federal statutory tax rate to earnings before income taxes primarily as a result of a significant portion of our earnings that come from foreign operations with lower tax rates.

Note 16 - Commitments and Contingencies
From time to time, we are involved in legal proceedings. We are not a party to any pending legal proceedings which management believes will result in a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
We are engaged in administrative proceedings with governmental agencies and legal proceedings with governmental agencies and other third parties in the normal course of our business, including litigation under Superfund laws, regarding environmental matters. We believe that adequate reserves have been established for our share of the estimated cost for all currently pending environmental administrative or legal proceedings and do not expect that these environmental matters will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
In the ordinary course of business we could be subject to ongoing claims or disputes from our customers, the ultimate settlement of which could have a material adverse impact on our consolidated results of operations. While the receivables and any loss provisions recorded to date reflect management's best estimate of the projected costs to complete a given project, there is still significant effort required to complete the ultimate deliverable. Future variability in internal cost and as well as future profitability is dependent upon a number of factors including deliveries, performance and government budgetary pressures. The inability to achieve a satisfactory contractual solution, further unplanned delays, additional developmental cost growth or variations in any of the estimates used in the existing contract analysis could lead to further loss provisions. Additional losses could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows in the period in which the loss may be recognized.
We are contingently liable for $13,859 of standby letters of credit issued by a bank to third parties on our behalf at January 3, 2015.
Note 17 - Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2013-05, "Parent's Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Group of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity." This ASU is intended to eliminate diversity in practice on the release of cumulative translation adjustments into net income when a parent either sells part or all of its investment in a foreign entity, or when it no longer holds a controlling financial interest. In addition, the amendments resolve the diversity in practice for the treatment of business combinations achieved in stages involving a foreign entity. The provisions of this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2013 and interim periods within those fiscal years. We adopted this amendment in the first quarter of 2015. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in the Company’s Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 27, 2014. All references to years in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations are to fiscal years and amounts may differ from reported values due to rounding.
OVERVIEW
We are a worldwide designer, manufacturer and systems integrator of high performance precision motion and fluid controls and control systems for a broad range of applications in aerospace and defense and industrial markets.
Within the aerospace and defense market, our products and systems include:
Defense market - primary and secondary flight controls for military aircraft, tactical and strategic missile steering controls and gun aiming controls, stabilization and automatic ammunition loading controls for armored combat vehicles.
Commercial aircraft market - primary and secondary flight controls for commercial aircraft.
Commercial space market - space satellite positioning controls and thrust vector controls for space launch vehicles.

In the industrial market, our products are used in a wide range of applications including:
Industrial automation market - injection molding, metal forming, heavy industry, material and automotive testing, pilot training simulators and surveillance systems.
Energy market - oil and gas exploration, wind energy and power generation.
Medical market - motors used in sleep apnea devices, enteral clinical nutrition and infusion therapy pumps and CT scanners.

We operate under five segments, Aircraft Controls, Space and Defense Controls, Industrial Systems, Components and Medical Devices. Our principal manufacturing facilities are located in the United States, United Kingdom, Philippines, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, China, Costa Rica, Japan, Luxembourg, India, Canada and Ireland.
We have long-term contracts with some of our customers. These contracts are predominantly within Aircraft Controls and Space and Defense Controls and represent 34%, 33% and 32% of our sales in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. We recognize revenue on these contracts using the percentage of completion, cost-to-cost method of accounting as work progresses toward completion. The remainder of our sales are recognized when the risks and rewards of ownership and title to the product are transferred to the customer, principally as units are delivered or as service obligations are satisfied. This method of revenue recognition is predominantly used within the Industrial Systems, Components and Medical Devices segments, as well as with aftermarket activity.
We concentrate on providing our customers with products designed and manufactured to the highest quality standards. Our products are applied in demanding applications, "When Performance Really Matters®." We believe we have achieved a leadership position in the high performance, precision controls market, by capitalizing on our strengths, which include:
superior technical competence in delivering mission-critical solutions,
an innovative customer-intimacy approach,
a diverse base of customers and end markets served by a broad product portfolio,
well-established international presence serving customers worldwide, and
a proven ability to successfully undertake investments designed to enhance our control systems product franchise and drive continued growth.

These strengths afford us the ability to innovate our current solutions into new, complimentary technologies, providing us the opportunity to expand our product scope supply from one market to another. In addition, we will continue to strive for achieving substantial content positions on the platforms on which we currently participate, while strengthening our position in the current niche markets we serve. We also look for innovation in all aspects of our business, employing new technologies to improve productivity and to develop innovative business models.

19



These activities will help us achieve our financial objectives of increasing our revenue base and improving our long term profitability and cash flow from operations while continuously focusing on internal cost improvement initiatives. In doing so, we expect to maintain a balanced, diversified portfolio in terms of markets served, product applications, customer base and geographic presence. Our fundamental strategies to achieve our objectives include:
maintaining our technological excellence by building upon our systems integration capabilities while solving our customers’ most demanding technical problems in applications "When Performance Really Matters®,"
utilizing our global capabilities and strong engineering heritage,
continuing to grow our profitable aftermarket business,
capitalizing on strategic acquisitions and opportunities,
maximizing customer value through continuous cost improvements, and
investing in talent development to accelerate our leadership capability and employee performance.

We face numerous challenges to improve shareholder value. These include, but are not limited to, adjusting to dynamic global economic conditions that are influenced by governmental, industrial and commercial factors, pricing pressures from customers, strong competition, foreign currency fluctuations and increases in employee benefit costs. We address these challenges by focusing on strategic revenue growth, by continuing to improve operating efficiencies through various process and manufacturing initiatives and using low cost manufacturing facilities without compromising quality. Based on periodic strategy reviews, including the financial outlook of our business, we may also engage in restructuring activities, including reducing overhead, consolidating facilities and exiting some product lines.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

On an ongoing basis, we evaluate the critical accounting policies used to prepare our consolidated financial statements, including, but not limited to, revenue recognition on long-term contracts, contract loss reserves, reserves for inventory valuation, reviews for impairment of goodwill, purchase price allocations for business combinations, pension assumptions and deferred tax asset valuation allowances.

There have been no material changes in critical accounting policies in the current year from those disclosed in our 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, "Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity." This ASU is intended to change the criteria for reporting discontinued operations and enhance convergence of the FASB’s and the International Accounting Standard Board’s (IASB) reporting requirements for discontinued operations. The provisions of this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2014 and interim periods within those fiscal years. This amendment is applicable to us beginning in the first quarter of 2016. Early adoption is permitted, but only for disposals (or classifications as held for sale) that have not been reported in financial statements previously issued or available for issuance. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606),” which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC 605, Revenue Recognition. This ASU requires revenue recognition to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This ASU also requires additional disclosures about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. This ASU can be applied using one of two prescribed retrospective methods, and no early adoption is permitted. The provisions of this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those fiscal years. This amendment is applicable to us beginning in the first quarter of 2018. We are currently evaluating the adoption of this standard on our financial statements.
 


20



In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-11, “Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860): Repurchase to Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings and Disclosures.” This ASU changes the accounting for repurchase-to-maturity transactions to secured borrowing accounting, requires certain disclosures for transactions accounted for as sales and requires certain disclosures for other transactions accounted for as secured borrowings. The provisions of this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2014 and for interim periods beginning after March 15, 2015. This amendment is applicable to us beginning in the third quarter of 2015. Other than requiring additional disclosures, the adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-13, “Consolidation (Topic 810): Measuring the Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities of a Consolidated Collateralized Financing Entity.” This ASU allows a reporting entity to elect to measure the financial assets and the financial liabilities of a consolidated collateralized financing entity using either the measurement alternative included in the Update or Topic 820. The provisions of this ASU are effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an annual period. This amendment is applicable to us beginning in the first quarter of 2017. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern.” This ASU requires management to evaluate whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. This ASU also requires management to disclose certain information depending on the results of the going concern evaluation. The provisions of this ASU are effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and for interim and annual periods thereafter. Early adoption is permitted. This amendment is applicable to us beginning in the first quarter of 2017. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements.

In January 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-01, "Income Statement - Extraordinary and Unusual Items (Subtopic 225-20): Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items."  This ASU eliminates from GAAP the concept of extraordinary items.  The ASU retains and expands the existing presentation and disclosure guidance for items that are unusual in nature or occur infrequently to also include items that are both unusual in nature and infrequently occurring. The provisions of this ASU are effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015.  Early adoption is permitted, provided that presentation applied to the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption.  This amendment is applicable to us beginning in the first quarter of 2017. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements.

Net sales decreased in the first quarter of 2015 compared to the first quarter of 2014. Sales declined in Industrial Systems and Components, while sales in Aircraft Controls, Space and Defense Controls and Medical Devices were relatively flat. Weaker foreign currencies, in particular the Euro relative to the U.S. dollar, contributed $12 million to the sales decline.
Gross margin declined in the first quarter of 2015 compared to the first quarter of 2014 due primarily to an adverse sales mix in Aircraft Controls, as we had lower amounts of foreign military sales. In the first quarter of 2015, we also incurred an additional $3 million for higher pension and inventory obsolescence costs.
Research and development expenses decreased in the first quarter of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014. Within Aircraft Controls, research and development expenses decreased $5 million. The decrease was driven by reduced development activity on the Airbus A350.
On December 19th, 2013, we repurchased our 7.25% senior subordinated notes due on January 15th, 2018. In doing so, we incurred a 3.625% call premium in the first quarter of 2014.
Other expense in the first quarter of 2014 includes a $4 million write-down of a technology investment in Industrial Systems.
In the fourth quarter of 2014, we incurred restructuring expenses, primarily in our Aircraft Controls and Space and Defense Controls segments. The restructuring actions were in response to the business outlook for each segment, including a change in the mix of product sales and delays and cancellations of orders for certain product lines. Each segment's restructuring expense totaled $5 million. We expect these activities to result in $16 million of cost savings during 2015. Through the first quarter of 2015, the total restructuring savings were $2 million and are approximately 14% of our total projected annual benefits. This amount is in line with our expectations.
The effective tax rate decreased in the first quarter of 2015 compared to the first quarter of 2014. The first quarter of 2015 benefited from the enactment of legislation reinstating the 2014 research and development tax credit in the U.S.
Average common shares outstanding decreased in the first quarter of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 due to our share buyback program. Since the Board of Directors amended the program in January 2014, we have repurchased 5.5 million shares.
Other comprehensive loss increased in the first quarter of 2015. Foreign currency translation adjustments, driven primarily by the British Pound and the Euro relative to the U.S. dollar, were unfavorable, decreasing $21 million and $20 million in the first quarter, respectively.

22



2015 Outlook – We expect sales in 2015 to decrease 3% to $2.57 billion. We expect modest growth in our Space and Defense Controls and Medical Devices segments. However, we expect sales declines in our Industrial Systems segment due in part to unfavorable foreign exchange translation, as well as unfavorable industrial market conditions. Additionally, we expect sales to decline in Aircraft Controls as growth in Commercial OEM is more than offset by declines in our military business and in our commercial aftermarket programs. We also expect sales to decline slightly in our Components segment as demand for our marine energy products weakens due to the lower price of oil. We expect our operating margin to increase to 11.4%. We expect operating margin increases in all of our segments except Components. The benefits of our restructuring actions in Space and Defense Controls and in Aircraft Controls, and the absence of various charges in our Industrial Systems segment will improve margins. We expect that the U.S. dollar strengthening relative to other currencies will have a neutral operating profit impact as the declines in Industrial Systems will be offset by increases in Aircraft Controls. We also expect that an unfavorable sales mix in Components, due to lower amounts of favorable marine energy product sales, will decrease operating margin. We expect net earnings will decrease 1% to $157 million; however, diluted earnings per share will increase 9% to $3.85. The difference between projected diluted earnings per share growth and projected net earnings growth is anticipated to come from shares repurchased through the end of the first quarter of 2015.

SEGMENT RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND OUTLOOK
Operating profit, as presented below, is net sales less cost of sales and other operating expenses, excluding interest expense, equity-based compensation expense and other corporate expenses. Cost of sales and other operating expenses are directly identifiable to the respective segment or allocated on the basis of sales, number of employees or profit. Operating profit is reconciled to earnings before income taxes in Note 15 of the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements included in this report.

Aircraft Controls' sales were relatively flat in the first quarter of 2015 compared to the first quarter of 2014, as increased commercial OEM production was offset by military sales declines.
In the first quarter of 2015, commercial OEM sales to Boeing increased $7 million and sales to Airbus increased $5 million, both due to the ramp up of new programs and volume increases. Partly offsetting the commercial growth were military sales declines. Foreign military sales decreased $6 million and sales on the F-35 program decreased $4 million, due to lower production activity and the wind down of the development phase.
Operating margin in the first quarter of 2015 declined compared to the same quarter in 2014. The decline is primarily attributable to lower amounts of foreign military sales. Partly offsetting the decline was $5 million of lower research and development costs, as activity on the Airbus A350 program slowed.
The decrease of twelve-month backlog for Aircraft Controls on January 3, 2015 compared to December 28, 2013 is primarily related to work completed on military aftermarket programs. Partly offsetting the decline is an increase in commercial OEM orders.
2015 Outlook for Aircraft Controls – We expect sales in Aircraft Controls to decline slightly to $1.09 billion in 2015. Commercial aircraft sales are expected to increase 3% to $563 million due to strong sales on our OEM programs, with sales on the Airbus A350 program driving the increase. Partially offsetting the OEM growth is an expected decrease in commercial aftermarket sales, as the higher initial provisioning sales in 2014 for the Boeing 787 decline. We also expect an 8% decrease in military sales, as activity on our major military OEM and aftermarket programs will continue to decline. We expect our operating margin will increase to 10.6% in 2015 from 10.4% in 2014. We expect that lower research and development costs, the benefit of our 2014 restructuring activities and the favorable operating profit impact due to the strengthening U.S. dollar relative to other foreign currencies will improve our operating margin. However, we expect that the increase in lower margin sales on early commercial production programs,and lower domestic and foreign military sales, will partly offset the increase in margin.

Space and Defense Controls' sales were relatively flat in the first quarter of 2015 compared to the first quarter of 2014, as sales growth in our defense market was mostly offset by sales declines in our space market.
Within our defense market, sales of controls for missile systems increased $2 million due to an increase in production rates. Sales also increased $1 million in our naval systems market. Mostly offsetting this growth was a decline in our space market, as lower demand for satellite avionics products reduced sales $3 million.
Operating margin increased in the first quarter of 2015 compared to the same period of 2014. The increase is partly due to the absence of $2 million in increased program costs in 2014 associated with an acquisition in our space market. Also operating margin increased $2 million due to the benefits realized from the 2014 restructuring activities in the fourth quarter of 2014. These restructuring savings are approximately 19% of our total expected annual savings and are in line with our expectations. Partly offsetting the increase in operating margin was an additional $2 million in inventory obsolescence charges in our security market.
The decreased level in twelve-month backlog at January 3, 2015 is mainly due to program completions and push outs of various space orders.
2015 Outlook for Space and Defense Controls – We expect sales in Space and Defense Controls to increase 2% to $403 million in 2015. We expect sales in our defense market to increase due to stronger domestic and foreign sales on military vehicles. Offsetting this growth is an expected lower level of satellite component sales. We expect our operating margin to increase to 10.7% in 2015 from 6.6% in 2014 as we benefit from our 2014 restructuring actions, the absence of prior year write-downs and a more favorable sales mix associated with higher defense controls sales.

Industrial Systems' sales decreased in the first quarter of 2015 compared to the first quarter of 2014 across our major markets. Weaker foreign currencies, in particular the Euro relative to the U.S. dollar, contributed $7 million to the sales decline.
Within our simulation and test market, sales declined $5 million due to delayed orders from some customers. Additionally, sales in our energy market decreased $4 million as unfavorable macro-economic conditions in Asia affected the sale of our gas and steam turbine products. Sales decreased $2 million in our industrial automation market, mostly due to unfavorable foreign currency translation.
Operating margin increased in the first quarter of 2015 compared to the same period of 2014. The operating margin in the first quarter of 2014 included a $4 million technology investment write-down. Partly offsetting the operating margin increase was higher selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales due to the lower sales level in the quarter.
The twelve-month backlog for Industrial Systems at January 3, 2015 decreased compared to December 28, 2013 due primarily to foreign currency translation.
2015 Outlook for Industrial Systems – We expect sales in Industrial Systems to decline 10% to $530 million in 2015. We expect that more than half of the decline will come from weaker foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar. We expect the remaining decline to come from the macro-economic uncertainty. We expect that our operating margin will increase to 11.5% in 2015 from 9.8% in 2014 as we benefit from our continuing cost containment activities as well as the absence of investment write-downs. We expect the increase to be partially offset by the negative operating profit impact due to the strengthening U.S. dollar relative to other foreign currencies.

Components' sales declined slightly in the first quarter of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014. Sales decreased in our aerospace and defense market as well as our non-aerospace and defense market.
In our non-aerospace and defense market, sales decreased $2 million. Sales were lower in the energy market in the first quarter of 2015 compared to the first quarter of 2014 due to lower sales of large slip rings used on off-shore oil storage vessels. Sales were also lower in the medical market due to timing of customer orders. In our aerospace and defense market, sales decreased $1 million due to lower demand for commercial helicopter products.
Operating margin decreased in the first quarter of 2015 compared to the first quarter of 2014. The lower level of sales, in particular marine sales, contributed to the decline in operating margin.
The twelve-month backlog for Components at January 3, 2015 and December 28, 2013 are comparable.
2015 Outlook for Components – We expect sales to decrease 1% to $420 million in 2015 as growth in our aerospace and defense market is more than offset by declines in our non-aerospace and defense markets. We expect the growth in our aerospace and defense market to come from higher sales in the space market. However, we expect the macro-economic concerns centered around the recent significant decline in the price of crude oil to negatively impact demand for our marine energy products. We expect our operating margin to decrease to 14.0% in 2015 from 15.3% in 2014, due to lower amounts of favorable marine energy product sales in the second half of 2015.

Medical Devices' sales were relatively flat in the first quarter of 2015 compared to the first quarter of 2014.
In the first quarter of 2015, sales of our other medical device products, driven by increased orders of medical sensors and components, increased $2 million. This increase was more than offset by lower sales of pumps and sets, which decreased $2 million and $1 million, respectively.
Operating profit in the first quarter of 2015 increased due to a more favorable sales mix and lower operational costs.
Twelve-month backlog for Medical Devices is not as substantial relative to sales as compared to our other segments, reflecting the shorter order-to-shipment cycle for this line of business.
2015 Outlook for Medical Devices – We expect sales to increase 4% to $125 million in 2015. We expect sales increases for our administration sets and our medical sensor and components products. We expect our operating margin to increase to 10.9% in 2015 from 8.8% in 2014, as we continue to benefit from an improved cost structure and incremental margin contribution from higher sales volumes.

N/A

Our available borrowing capacity and our cash flow from operations provide us with the financial resources needed to run our operations, reinvest in our business and make strategic acquisitions.
At January 3, 2015, our cash balance was $240 million, which is primarily held outside of the U.S. Cash flow from our U.S. operations, together with borrowings on our credit facility, fund on-going activities, debt service requirements and future growth investments. We reinvest the cash generated from foreign operations locally and such international balances are not available to pay down debt in the U.S. unless we decide to repatriate such amounts. If we decide to repatriate foreign funds, we would then be required to pay U.S. income taxes on those funds.
Operating activities
Cash provided by operating activities increased in the first quarter of 2015 compared to the first quarter of 2014. We benefited $26 million due to favorable timing on collections of receivables, primarily in our Components and Aircraft Controls segments. The change in operating activities was negatively impacted $13 million due to higher levels of inventory, primarily in our Aircraft Controls segment to support the ramp up of new commercial programs.
Investing activities
Cash used by investing activities decreased in the first quarter of 2015 compared to the first quarter of 2014. The decrease is due to the absence of $9 million used to redeem our 7.25% senior subordinated notes that were invested in our supplementary retirement plan.
We expect our 2015 capital expenditures to be approximately $100 million.
Financing activities
Cash used by financing activities in the first quarter of 2015 includes the net proceeds of issuing our $300 million aggregate principal 5.25% senior notes, which were used to repay our revolving credit facility borrowings. Additionally, financing activities in the first quarter of 2015 includes $106 million to fund our stock repurchase program.
Cash used by financing activities in the first quarter of 2014 includes the use of our credit facility borrowings to fund the redemption of our 7.25% senior subordinated notes, including a $7 million redemption call premium.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any material off balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a material future effect on our results of operations or financial condition.
Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments
Our contractual obligations and commercial commitments have not changed materially from the disclosures in our 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K, with the exception of the issuance of our 5.25% senior notes, which was completed on November 21, 2014.

29



CAPITAL STRUCTURE AND RESOURCES
We maintain bank credit facilities to fund our short and long-term capital requirements, including for acquisitions. From time to time, we also sell equity and debt securities to fund acquisitions or take advantage of favorable market conditions.
On November 21, 2014, we completed the sale of $300 million aggregate principal amount of 5.25% senior notes due December 1, 2022 at par with interest paid semiannually on June 1 and December 1 of each year, commencing on June 1, 2015. The aggregate net proceeds of $295 million were used to repay indebtedness under our U.S. bank credit facility, thereby increasing the unused portion of our revolving credit facility. The senior unsecured notes are general obligations, effectively subordinated to all existing and future secured debt and contain normal incurrence-based covenants.
On May 22, 2014, we amended our U.S. revolving credit facility. The amendment increased the capacity on our revolving credit facility from $900 million to $1,100 million and extended the maturity of the credit facility to May 22, 2019. The amendment also provides an expansion option, which permits us to request an increase of up to $200 million to the credit facility upon satisfaction of certain conditions. The U.S. revolving credit facility had an outstanding balance of $551 million at January 3, 2015. Interest on the majority of the outstanding credit facility borrowings is based on LIBOR plus the applicable margin, which was 138 basis points at January 3, 2015 and will increase to 163 basis points during the second quarter of 2015. The credit facility is secured by substantially all of our U.S. assets.
The U.S. revolving credit facility contains various covenants. The covenant for minimum interest coverage ratio, defined as the ratio of EBITDA to interest expense for the most recent four quarters, is 3.0. The covenant for the maximum leverage ratio, defined as the ratio of net debt, including letters of credit, to EBITDA for the most recent four quarters, is 3.5. The covenant for maximum capital expenditures is $175 million for 2015 and increases by $10 million each year thereafter. We are in compliance with all covenants. EBITDA is defined in the loan agreement as (i) the sum of net income, interest expense, income taxes, depreciation expense, amortization expense, other non-cash items reducing consolidated net income and non-cash equity-based compensation expenses minus (ii) other non-cash items increasing consolidated net income.
We are generally not required to obtain the consent of lenders of the U.S. revolving credit facility before raising significant additional debt financing; however, certain limitations and conditions may apply that would require consent to be obtained. We have demonstrated our ability to secure consents to access debt markets. We have also been successful in accessing equity markets from time to time. We believe that we will be able to obtain additional debt or equity financing as needed.
At January 3, 2015, we had $548 million of unused capacity, including $535 million from the U.S. revolving credit facility after considering standby letters of credit. Our ability to utilize the unused borrowing capacity is limited by the leverage ratio covenant, which would restrict borrowings to an additional $504 million as of January 3, 2015.
We have a trade receivables securitization facility (the "Securitization Program"), which terminates on February 13, 2015. Under the Securitization Program, we sell certain trade receivables and related rights to an affiliate, which in turn sells an undivided variable percentage ownership interest in the trade receivables to a financial institution, while maintaining a subordinated interest in a portion of the pool of trade receivables. The Securitization Program can be extended by agreement of the parties thereto for successive 364-day terms. The Securitization Program effectively increases our borrowing capacity by up to $100 million and lowers our cost to borrow funds as compared to the U.S. revolving credit facility. We had an outstanding balance of $100 million at January 3, 2015. The Securitization Program reduced the amount outstanding under our U.S. revolving credit facility and increased the amount of short-term borrowings. The Securitization Program has a minimum borrowing requirement, which was $80 million at January 3, 2015. Interest on the secured borrowings under the Securitization Program was 82 basis points at January 3, 2015 and is based on prevailing market rates for short-term commercial paper plus an applicable margin.
Net debt to capitalization was 36% at January 3, 2015 and 32% at September 27, 2014. The increase in net debt to capitalization is primarily due to our share repurchase program, partially offset by net earnings in the first three months of 2015.
We believe that our cash on hand, cash flows from operations and available borrowings under short and long-term arrangements will continue to be sufficient to meet our operating needs.

On August 12, 2014, the Board of Directors amended our share authorization to buy up to an aggregate of nine million Class A or Class B common shares. Under this program, we have purchased approximately 5,462,000 shares for $376 million as of January 3, 2015.

ECONOMIC CONDITIONS AND MARKET TRENDS
We operate within the aerospace and defense and industrial markets. Our aerospace and defense markets are affected by market conditions and program funding levels, while our industrial markets are influenced by general capital investment trends and economic conditions. A common factor throughout our markets is the continuing demand for technologically advanced products.
Aerospace and Defense
Approximately 62% of our 2014 sales were generated in aerospace and defense markets. Within aerospace and defense, we serve three end markets: defense, commercial aircraft and space.
The defense market is dependent on military spending for development and production programs. Aircraft production programs are typically long-term in nature, offering predictability as to capacity needs and future revenues. We maintain positions on numerous high priority programs, including the Lockheed Martin F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, FA-18E/F Super Hornet and V-22 Osprey. The large installed base of our products leads to attractive aftermarket sales and service opportunities. The tactical and strategic missile, missile defense and defense controls markets are dependent on many of the same market conditions as military aircraft, including overall military spending and program funding levels. Our security and surveillance product line is dependent on government funding at federal and local levels, as well as private sector demand.
Reductions in the U.S. Department of Defense's mandatory and discretionary budgeted spending, which became effective on March 1, 2013, resulting from the Budget Control Act of 2011, have had and will continue to have ongoing ramifications for the domestic aerospace and defense market for the near future. As originally passed, the Budget Control Act provided that, in addition to an initial significant reduction in future domestic defense spending, further automatic cuts to defense spending authorization (which is generally referred to as sequestration) of approximately $500 billion through the Federal Government's 2021 fiscal year would be triggered by the failure of Congress to produce a deficit reduction bill. The sequestration spending cuts were intended to be uniform by category for programs, projects and activities within accounts. The Bipartisan Budget Act of 2013, passed and signed into law in December 2013, provides some opportunities to lessen the effects of sequestration. This act kept the defense base spending budget flat at approximately $500 billion for Federal Government's 2014 and 2015 fiscal years. This provided over $30 billion in sequester relief over the two fiscal years in exchange for extending the imposition of sequestration to fiscal years 2022 and 2023. However, we expect we will continue to face significant challenges over the next decade as a result of sequestration, as our military sales will likely be affected by lower U.S. Department of Defense spending. Currently, we expect to realize approximately $640 million in U.S. defense sales in 2015.
The commercial aircraft market is dependent on a number of factors, including global demand for air travel, which generally follows underlying economic growth. As such, the commercial aircraft market has historically exhibited cyclical swings which tend to track with the overall economy. In recent years, the development of new, more fuel-efficient commercial air transports has helped drive increased demand in the commercial aircraft market, as airlines replace older, less fuel-efficient aircraft with newer models in an effort to reduce operating costs. The aftermarket is driven by usage of the existing aircraft fleet and the age of the installed fleet, and is impacted by fleet re-sizing programs for passenger and cargo aircraft. Changes in aircraft utilization rates affect the need for maintenance and spare parts and impact aftermarket sales. Boeing and Airbus have historically adjusted production in line with air traffic volume. Demand for our commercial aircraft products is in large part dependent on new aircraft production, which is increasing as Boeing and Airbus work to fulfill large backlogs of unfilled orders.
The commercial space market is comprised of large satellite customers, traditionally communications companies. Trends for this market, as well as for commercial launch vehicles, follow demand for increased capacity. This in turn, tends to track with underlying demand for increased consumption of telecommunication services, satellite replacement and global navigation needs. The space market is also partially dependent on the governmental-authorized levels of funding for satellite communications.





32



Industrial
Approximately 38% of our 2014 sales were generated in industrial markets. Within industrial, we serve three end markets: industrial automation, energy and medical.
The industrial automation market we serve is influenced by several factors including capital investment, product innovation, economic growth, cost-reduction efforts and technology upgrades. We experience challenges from the need to react to the demands of our customers, who are in large part sensitive to international and domestic economic conditions.
The energy market we serve is affected by changing oil and natural gas prices, global urbanization, the resulting increase in demand for global energy and the political climate and corresponding public support for investments in renewable energy generation capacity. Long term drivers for global growth include investments in power generation infrastructure, including renewable energy, and exploration in search of new oil and gas resources. However, in the intermediate term, the current decline in crude oil prices is expected to have a negative impact on global exploration and drilling activities, as our customers reevaluate and potentially delay or cancel these technically complex projects.
The medical market we serve is influenced by economic conditions, regulatory environments, hospital and outpatient clinic spending on equipment, population demographics, medical advances, patient demands and the need for precision control components and systems. Advances in medical technology and medical treatments have had the effect of extending the average life spans, in turn resulting in greater need for medical services. These same technology and treatment advances also drive increased demand from the general population as a means to improve quality of life. Access to medical insurance, whether through government funded health care plans or private insurance, also affects the demand for medical services.
Foreign Currencies
We are affected by the movement of foreign currencies compared to the U.S. dollar, particularly in our Industrial Systems segment. About one-third of our 2014 sales were denominated in foreign currencies. During the first three months of 2015, foreign currencies generally weakened versus the U.S. dollar compared to the first three months of 2014. The translation of the results of our foreign subsidiaries into U.S. dollars decreased sales by $12 million compared to the same period one year ago.

MOOG INC. SUPPLEMENTAL RETIREMENT PLAN

(Amended and restated, effective January 1, 2013)
The Moog Inc. Supplemental Retirement Plan (the “Plan”) was adopted by Moog Inc., effective August 22, 1978, to provide supplemental retirement benefits for key employees of the Company.

The Company now wishes to amend and restate the terms of the Plan, effective January 1, 2013.
Thus, the Company hereby amends and restates the Plan as follows:

031407.00003 Business 11033919v7




Anything in this definition to the contrary notwithstanding, the termination of the Executive’s employment by the Company will not be considered to have been for Cause if the termination results from: bad judgment or mere negligence on the part of the Executive; an act or omission by the Executive without intending to gain, directly or indirectly, a substantial personal profit to which the Executive is not legally entitled; or an act or omission by the Executive that the Executive believed in good faith to have been in the interests of the Company or not opposed to its interests.
(g)    Change of Control means the transfer, in one or more transactions extending over a period of not more than 24 months, of Common Stock of the Corporation possessing 25% or more of the total combined voting power of all Class A and Class B Shares of Common Stock.

If the Company determines, in its sole discretion, that there is no valid designation, the Beneficiary will be the Participant’s estate.
(p)    Disabilitymeans a total and permanent disability. A Participant is considered to have a total and permanent disability if he or she is unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determined physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months, as determined by the Compensation Committee or by a licensed practicing physician selected by the Compensation Committee.

(u)    Grandfathered Amountsmeans amounts deferred and vested before January 1, 2005, including earnings on those amounts, that are “grandfathered” under Code Section 409A and remain subject to the nonqualified deferred compensation rules in effect before January 1, 2005.

- 3 -





(v)    Involuntary Termination of Employment means a severance of a Participant’s employment relationship prior to age 65, other than for Cause, by or at the instigation of the Company or by or at the instigation of the Participant where the Participant’s pay has been diminished or reduced to a greater extent than any diminution or reduction of the Company’s Executives generally. Where there has been a Change of Control, Involuntary Termination of Employment also includes a termination of the employment relationship by the Participant (whether before or after age 65), within two years of the Change of Control, in those circumstances where the duties, responsibilities, status, base pay or perquisites of office and employment have been diminished or downgraded, or substantially increased (other than base pay) without the Participant’s actual or implied consent. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, a general decrease in base pay that is approved by a majority of those Participants who are parties to Employment Termination Benefits Agreements will be considered as having been consented to for purposes of this Plan.
(w)    Participant means a Company employee who satisfies the participation requirements described in Article 2. The term “Participant” includes an Executive who has ceased to actively participate in the Plan but who has not received payment of his entire Benefit.
(x)    Profit Share Plan means any management profit sharing or incentive compensation plan of the Company covering a Participant.
(y)    Retirement means the retirement of a Participant from active employment with the Company at the end of the month in which the Participant attains 65 years of age or later.

(bb)    Service means the period for which a Participant has worked or will have worked for the Company since the date the Participant was first hired by the Company. A period during which a Participant receives no compensation will not be counted for purposes of computing Years of Service. A Participant’s Service for purposes of Years of Service credit will include up to 6 months of Service during which the Participant is on a leave of absence while receiving Company-provided short-term disability insurance benefits.

- 4 -





(cc)    Social Security means the U.S. Social Security program or, where applicable, a foreign state social insurance program under which a Participant is entitled to benefits and to which the Company has made contributions.
(dd)    Specified Employee is an employee who is determined to be a “specified employee” within the meaning of Code Section 409A and related guidance, based on an identification date of December 31. An Executive who is a Specified Employee at any time during the 12-month period ending on December 31 will be deemed to be a Specified Employee for the 12-month period commencing the following April 1.
(ee)    Spousal Benefits means benefits payable to a spouse or former spouse in accordance with Section 3.7.
(ff)    Year of Service means a 12-month period of Service by a Participant with the Company. Years of Service are measured in years and completed months, beginning with a Participant’s last date of hire with the Company. In computing a Participant’s Years of Service for vesting and benefit accrual purposes, credit will be given for the years and completed months of Service. A Participant who becomes an employee of the Company as a result of the acquisition of an acquired business by the Company will be granted Years of Service credit for prior employment with the acquired business. Where an employee resigns from the Company and is later re-employed by the Company, the Compensation Committee may, in its sole discretion under Section 7.6, award Years of Service credit for the employee’s pre-resignation Service.
Section 1.2.    Purpose of the Plan. The Plan is an unfunded plan maintained primarily for the purpose of providing supplemental retirement benefits for a select group of management or highly compensated employees, and participation in the Plan is limited consistent with that purpose. Benefits under the Plan are intended to supplement benefits provided under a Participant’s Retirement Plan or Plans and benefits from Social Security.
Section 1.3.    Effective Date. Except as otherwise provided, the Effective Date of this amended and restated Plan is January 1, 2013. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the Benefits payable to any Participant who Separated from Service before the Effective Date will continue to be determined in accordance with the terms of the Plan in effect as of the Participant’s Separation from Service.
Section 1.4.    Pre-2005 Amounts and Compliance with Section 409A. The Plan will be operated in good faith compliance with Code Section 409A as of January 1, 2005. All amounts earned and vested under the Plan as of December 31, 2004 are intended to be Grandfathered Amounts. No amendment in this restated Plan is intended to be a material modification of the Plan in effect on October 3, 2004 that would subject Grandfathered Amounts to Code Section 409A. All Grandfathered Amounts remain subject to the terms of the Plan in effect as of October 3, 2004, a copy of which is attached as Appendix A. Notwithstanding anything else in this restated Plan or Appendix A, all Grandfathered Amounts will be paid at a time and in a form as determined without regard to any ERP amendments adopted and/or

- 5 -





effective after October 3, 2004 that would cause a material modification resulting in a loss of grandfathered status for all or a portion of the Grandfathered Amounts.
Section 1.5.    Pre-2007 Amounts and Section 409A Transition Rules. Any Benefits commencing between January 1, 2005 and December 31, 2006 will be distributed in compliance with Code Section 409A transition rules governing nonqualified deferred compensation plans under which the time and form of payment of benefits is controlled by elections made under qualified plans. Under the transition rules, Benefits under the Plan that commenced before January 1, 2007 will continue to be paid at the same time and in the same form as benefit payments are made to, or on behalf of, the Participant or spouse under the ERP. Provisions governing the time and form of payment of those Benefits are contained in the Plan document attached as Appendix A.
Section 1.6.    Special Rules for “2011 Participants.Effective February 6, 2012, special rules will apply to the Benefits payable to those Executives who were elected officers of the Corporation and were active Participants in the Plan as of November 30, 2011 (“2011 Participants”), as set forth in the attached Appendix B, which shall be incorporated into and made a part of the Plan.
ARTICLE 2    

PARTICIPATION AND VESTING

(b)    In the event of an Involuntary Termination of Employment before vesting, other than on account of a Change of Control, a Participant who has at least ten Years of Service with the Company at the time of the Involuntary Termination of Employment will become 100% vested in and eligible for Benefits under Articles 3 and 4 of the Plan.

- 6 -





(c)    In the event of a Change of Control before vesting, a Participant who has at least ten Years of Service with the Company at the time of the Change in Control will become 100% vested in and eligible for Benefits under Articles 3 and 4 of the Plan.
Section 2.4.    Forfeiture. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Plan,

ARTICLE 3    

BENEFITS
Section 3.1.    Amount of Benefit.
(a)    For a Participant with 25 or more Years of Service, subject to adjustment under this Article, the Benefit payable to the Participant under this Plan will equal “A” – (“B” + “C”) where “A” is 65% of the Participant’s Compensation, “B” is the Company-funded annual benefit payable to the Participant for life under one or more Retirement Plans (excluding matching contributions under the Moog Inc. Retirement Savings Plan) beginning at age 65, or, if later, at the age Benefit payments under this Plan commence, and “C” is 50% (or some other percentage as provided in Section 3.3(d)) of the primary Social Security benefit payable to the Participant, as computed in accordance with Section 3.3.

- 7 -





(b)    For a Participant with 10-24 Years of Service, “A” will be determined according to the following schedule:
Years of Service
“A” Total Combined Benefit Target

(c)    If Benefits become payable under Section 3.5 or 3.7 on Separation from Service due to Disability or death where a Participant has fewer than ten Years of Service as of the date of death or Disability, “A” will be (i) 40%, plus (ii) an additional 1% for each actual Year of Service completed by the Participant as of the date of death or Disability.
(d)    For Participants who are or were participants in a Company-sponsored defined contribution plan, the annual benefit “B” payable to the Participant for life as of any valuation date will be determined by projecting the portion of the Participant’s account balance attributable to Company contributions to age 65 (or the date Benefit payments under this Plan begin, if later) using the expected rate of return used for determining minimum funding requirements for the ERP for the plan year ending with or immediately prior to the valuation date. The projected value so determined will be converted to an annual straight life annuity using the same interest and mortality assumptions used by the Company to determine liabilities for accounting purposes for the ERP for the fiscal year ending with or immediately prior to the valuation date. Non-dollar denominated values will be converted to U.S. dollars using the foreign exchange rate in effect as of the valuation date.
If a Participant who is or was a participant in a Company–sponsored defined contribution plan withdraws some or all of his or her account attributable to Company contributions before Benefits under this Plan commence, the actual account balance at the date of valuation will be adjusted to include an amount equal to the projected value of the withdrawn Company contributions from the date of withdrawal to the valuation date.

- 8 -





(e)    If the Compensation Committee so determines, in its sole discretion, benefits accrued in a retirement plan of another employer may be included in the offset determined under “B,” regardless of whether the Participant’s years of service with the other employer are counted for purposes of determining Benefits under this Plan.
Section 3.2.    Benefit Adjustment for Payment Before Age 65. Subject to Appendix B, for a Participant who begins receiving payment under this Plan before attaining age 65, the Benefit payable under this Plan will be reduced by the early payment actuarial discount established under the ERP for the commencement of benefits before age 65.
Section 3.3.    Social Security Adjustments.
(a)    In the event a Participant commences receiving Benefits prior to attainment of Early Social Security Retirement Age, the Benefit payable under this Plan will include a Social Security “bridge” payment equal to the amount of the Social Security benefit at Early Social Security Retirement Age, until such time as the Participant attains Early Social Security Retirement Age, or, if earlier, the Participant’s date of death. With respect to U.S. Social Security benefits, for a Participant commencing Benefit payments before his or her Early Social Security Retirement Age, the Social Security benefit amount to be used in determining the Benefit payable under this Plan, including the Social Security bridge payment, will be the Social Security amount that would be payable at Early Social Security Retirement Age assuming (i) the Participant’s earnings prior to Separation from Service always exceeded the Social Security maximum taxable amount (except no earnings will be assumed for years during which a Participant was not covered by Social Security), (ii) the Participant receives no Social Security covered wages subsequent to Separation from Service, (iii) an inflation rate equal to the rate used by the Company to determine liabilities for accounting purposes for the Retirement Plan for the fiscal year ending with or immediately prior to the valuation date, and (iv) national average wages increase at a rate equal to the assumed inflation rate plus 100 basis points.
(b)    With respect to U.S. Social Security benefits, in the event a Participant commences receiving Benefits at or after Early Social Security Retirement Age and before Social Security benefits have begun, the Social Security benefit amount to be used in determining the Benefit payable under this Plan will be the Social Security amount that would be payable on the actual date of Separation from Service, assuming the Participant’s earnings always exceeded the Social Security maximum taxable amount (except no earnings will be assumed for years during which a Participant was not covered by Social Security).
(c)    With respect to U.S. Social Security benefits, in the event a Participant commences receiving Benefits at or after Early Social Security Retirement Age and after Social Security benefit payments have begun, the Social Security benefit amount to be used in determining the Benefit payable under this Plan will be the Social Security amount payable on the date Social Security benefits commenced, without regard to any cost-of-living adjustments subsequently received by the Participant.

- 9 -





(d)    For a Participant with benefits under a foreign Social Security program, the percentage offset under “C” in Section 3.1(a) may be adjusted to reflect the percentage of the Company contribution made under the foreign Social Security program and in a manner consistent with the adjustments described above with respect to the U.S. Social Security program.
(e)    Any increases in Social Security benefits payable to a Participant after Separation from Service will not be considered in determining any Benefit payable under this Plan.
Section 3.4.    Benefit Commencing After Age 65. In the event a Participant retires after age 65, the amount of Benefit payable under this Plan at Separation from Service will not be adjusted other than as provided under this Article 3. In the event a Participant commences payment after age 65 in accordance with an election made under Section 4.8, the amount of Benefit payable under this Plan will not be adjusted for payment commencement later than age 65. If distribution of Benefits under the Plan with respect to a Participant who is still employed by the Company has commenced as of the end of any fiscal year, then any additional accruals to which the Participant may be entitled under the Plan by virtue of his or her continued employment will be reduced (but not below zero) by the actuarial equivalent of the in-service distributions of Benefits.
Section 3.5.    Benefit Upon Separation from Service. Upon a Participant’s Separation from Service for any reason, including Disability, after vesting, other than in the case of an Involuntary Termination on account of a Change of Control, the Participant’s Benefit will be determined under Sections 3.1 and 3.2.
Section 3.6.    Benefit Upon a Change of Control. Upon an Involuntary Termination of Employment on account of a Change of Control, a Participant’s Benefit will be determined as follows: the Benefit will be determined under Sections 3.1 and 3.2 using the greater of the Compensation paid to the Participant prior to the Change of Control or the Compensation paid to the Participant prior to the Involuntary Termination of Employment.
Section 3.7.    Spousal Benefit Upon Death.
(a)    Except as provided in this Section, there is no death benefit payable under this Plan.
(b)    Notwithstanding Section 3.7(a), if a married Participant dies before commencing Benefit payments under this Plan, the Participant’s surviving spouse will be entitled to payment of a Spousal Benefit under this Plan, provided (i) the Participant has at least five Years of Service with the Company, and (ii) the Participant and the surviving spouse were married for at least 12 months prior to the Participant’s death. Payment of the Spousal Benefit under this Section will be made in the form of a life annuity.

- 10 -





The amount of the Spousal Benefit will be 50% of the Benefit that would otherwise have been payable to the Participant had the Participant (1) attained at least age 65 on the day before his death, (2) elected a joint and 50% survivor annuity with his spouse; and (3) retired the day before his death. If payment under this Section commences before the Participant would have attained age 65, the Spousal Benefit will be calculated by (i) reducing the Participant’s Benefit at age 65, determined in the form of a straight life annuity, by the early payment actuarial discount established under the ERP for the commencement of benefits before age 65, (ii) converting the benefit to a joint and 50% survivor annuity based on the Participant’s and surviving spouse’s actual ages at the time of the Participant’s death, and (iii) multiplying the benefit that would have been payable to the Participant by 50%. In the event payment under this Section begins before the Participant would have attained age 55, the Participant’s Benefit will be reduced by the actuarial discount under the ERP to age 55, and then actuarially reduced from age 55 to the age the Participant would have attained on the date payments of the Spousal Benefit would begin using the definition of Actuarial Equivalent established under the ERP.
If necessary to effectuate the terms of a domestic relations order, an Alternate Payee may be treated as a surviving spouse for the purposes of this Spousal Benefit, provided the Benefit payable under this Section does not exceed the amount the Alternate Payee would have received under the domestic relations order had the Participant not died before commencing payment of his or her Benefit.
Section 3.8.    Additional Adjustments. Other appropriate adjustments may be made in good faith where necessary to achieve the intended Benefits under the Plan, or to prevent violation of the requirements of Code Section 409A.
ARTICLE 4    

TIME AND FORM OF BENEFIT PAYMENT
Section 4.1.    Time of Payment. Unless a valid election to defer the time of payment has been made under this Article, payment of a Participant’s vested Benefit will be made as follows:
(a)    Subject to Sections 4.8 and 4.9 and Appendix B, in the event of a Separation from Service for any reason other than death, payment will commence as soon as practicable but not later than 90 days following the later of (1) the Participant’s Separation from Service or (2) the Participant’s attainment of age 60.
(b)    Payment of a Spousal Benefit under Section 3.7 will commence as follows:
(1)    If the Participant had attained at least age 50 at the time of his death, payment of the Spousal Benefit will commence as soon as practicable, but not later than 90 days, following the death of the Participant.

- 11 -





(2)    If the Participant had not yet attained age 50, payment of the Spousal Benefit will commence on the first day of the month coincident with or following the date the Participant would have attained age 50 had he survived.
Section 4.2.    Normal Form of Payment. If a Participant does not make an election in the time and manner specified in this Article to receive payment of his Benefit in one of the optional forms of Benefit described in Section 4.3, the Participant’s Benefit will be paid as follows:
(a)    If the Participant is married at the time Benefit payment commences, payment will be made in the form of an actuarially reduced joint and 50% survivor annuity with the Participant’s spouse.
(b)    If the Participant is not married at the time Benefit payment commences, payment will be in the form of a straight life annuity.
Section 4.3.    Optional Forms of Payment.
(a)    The payment options that may be elected under this Article are:
(1)    Option 1. A straight life annuity.
(2)    Option 2. An actuarially reduced annuity payable to the Participant during the Participant’s life, with a life annuity payable after the Participant’s death to a Contingent Annuitant in an amount selected by the Participant that is equal to 50%, 66 2/3%, 75%, or 100% of the amount payable to the Participant. The Participant may divide his Benefit into two or more parts, not necessarily equal, and apply each part separately under this Option and designate a different Contingent Annuitant for each part. Election of Option 2 is conditional upon the statement in the election of the name and sex of each Contingent Annuitant and also upon the delivery to the Company, within 90 days after filing the election of proof satisfactory to the Committee, of the age of each Contingent Annuitant. If the Contingent Annuitant dies prior to the commencement of payment of the Benefit to the Participant, the election of the option will be considered null and void. If a Participant dies before the first Benefit payment is made, no payments will be made to the Contingent Annuitant, except as provided under Section 3.5 for a spouse or Alternate Payee. If the Contingent Annuitant predeceases the Participant after payment of Benefits have commenced to the Participant, the Participant will continue to receive the reduced annuity without change.
(3)    Option 3. An actuarially reduced annuity payable to the Participant during the Participant’s life or for a stated minimum period of years, whichever is longer, and after the Participant’s death payable for the balance, if any, of the stated minimum period of years to the Participant’s Designated Beneficiary. Upon the death of the survivor of the Participant and his or her Designated Beneficiary, the remaining payments, if any, will be computed at 3% interest, compounded annually, and paid in a single lump sum to the legal representative of the survivor.

- 12 -





(b)    Spousal consent is not required for a married Participant to elect any of the payment options available under the Plan.
(c)    An “actuarially reduced annuity” is one that has the same value as the annuity payable as a straight life annuity using the definition of Actuarial Equivalent established under the ERP.
Section 4.4.    Social Security Bridge Payment. Survivor benefits payable under a joint and survivor annuity in accordance with this Article will not include any Social Security bridge payment provided under Section 3.3(a) to a Participant who commences Benefit payments prior to attaining Early Social Security Retirement Age.
Section 4.5.    Payment Under a Domestic Relations Order. Notwithstanding Sections 4.2 and 4.3, a Participant’s Benefit may be divided and all or a portion paid to an Alternate Payee under the terms of a domestic relations order. Payment to an Alternate Payee may commence prior to the date payment to the Participant would otherwise commence, and may be made in a single lump sum or in any form permitted under the Plan. If necessary to effectuate the terms of a domestic relations order that requires payment to an Alternate Payee under a shared payment arrangement, a Participant will be permitted to elect a joint and survivor annuity that provides for a survivor benefit with the Alternate Payee in any whole percentage between 5% and 100% in accordance with the terms of the order. The Participant will not be permitted to change the form of payment or percentage of a survivor annuity once payment of the Benefit has commenced
Section 4.6.    Elections. A Participant may make a written election on a form provided by the Company to receive payment of his or her Benefit in the normal form described in Section 4.2 or in one of the optional forms of Benefit described in Section 4.3. If a Participant fails to make a valid election under this Section, payment will be made in accordance with Section 4.2. A Participant will be permitted at any time prior to commencement of payment of the Benefit to make or change his or her election to receive payment under any of the actuarially equivalent forms of annuity provided under the Plan.
Section 4.7.    Special 409A Transitional Rules. Consistent with the provisions found in Internal Revenue Service Notice 2005-1 and regulations proposed under Code Section 409A, all Participants with any Benefits that are not Grandfathered Amounts were permitted, prior to December 31, 2006, to make a payment election in 2006 regarding the time and form under which all Benefits that are not Grandfathered Amounts are to be paid. The elections were required to be made from among the choices specified in Sections 4.2 and 4.3. A Participant was not, however, permitted in calendar year 2006 to change payment elections with respect to payments that the Participant would otherwise have received in 2006, or cause payments to be made in 2006. If a Participant with non-grandfathered Benefits failed to make an election under this Section, those amounts will be paid in accordance with Section 4.2.
Section 4.8.    Subsequent Elections. At any time, Participants may elect to change the date on which they are to commence receiving Benefits under the Plan, other than on account of death, provided:

- 13 -





(a)    the election is made in writing,
(b)    the election is not effective until 12 months after the date on which the election is made,
(c)    in the case of a payment to be made at a specified time or pursuant to a fixed schedule, the election is made not less than 12 months before the date of the first scheduled payment, and
(d)    the first payment with respect to which the subsequent election is made is deferred for a period of not less than 5 years from the date the payment would otherwise have been made.
Section 4.9.    Six-Month Delay. If a Participant who is a Specified Employee is eligible to receive payment of a Benefit solely because that Participant has “separated from service” within the meaning of Code Section 409A, no Benefits will be paid prior to the date that is 6 months after the date of Separation from Service (or, if earlier, the date of death of the Participant). Payments to which a Participant would otherwise be entitled during the first 6 months following the date of Separation from Service will be accumulated and paid, along with any interest, on the day that is 6 months after the date of Separation from Service. During the period of payment suspension, all amounts accumulated will earn interest. Interest will be calculated using the average of the monthly borrowing rate under the Company's principal U.S. credit facilities or its equivalent for the 6 months prior to termination of service. Interest due the Participant will be determined by multiplying each delayed payment by the interest rate as determined, with the product then multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of months each payment was delayed and the denominator of which is 12.
ARTICLE 5    

AMENDMENT, SUSPENSION, OR TERMINATION
Section 5.1.    Amendment, Suspension, or Termination. While the Company expects to continue the Plan indefinitely, it reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan, in whole or in part, at any time by action of the Board.
Section 5.2.    No Reduction. No amendment or termination of the Plan may impair or adversely affect any Benefit accrued under the Plan as of the date of such action, except with the consent of the Participant or spouse entitled to receive the Benefit. In the event of a Plan amendment adversely affecting benefits, or a termination of the Plan, each Participant’s interest will be determined as if the Participant retired as of the date of the amendment or termination; provided, however, that in the event of such an amendment or termination after a Change of Control, the Plan will continue and Benefits will continue to accrue under the Plan, based on the terms of the Plan as of the date preceding the amendment or termination, for all individuals who are Participants or spouses on that date.

- 14 -





ARTICLE 6    

AGREEMENT NOT TO COMPETE
Section 6.1.    General Rule. Payment of Benefits under this Plan is contingent upon the Participant’s agreement not to directly or indirectly engage in or compete with the business of the Company, either as owner, partner or employee for a period of the later to occur of the expiration of three years after termination of employment or the attainment of 65 years of age. In the event a Participant competes with the business of the Company in violation of this provision, payment of Benefits under this Plan will be suspended so long as the Participant engages in activity deemed to be in competition with the business of the Company. If a Participant ceases competing with the business of the Company or the restriction in the first sentence expires, payment of Benefits under this Plan will resume. However, the Participant will not be entitled to retroactive payment of any Benefits that were suspended under the terms of this Section.
Section 6.2.    Change of Control. Notwithstanding the preceding Section, this Article 6 will not apply to a Participant after the Participant’s Involuntary Termination of Employment on account of a Change of Control.
ARTICLE 7    

GENERAL PROVISIONS
Section 7.1.    Funding. The Plan is maintained as an unfunded Plan that is not intended to meet the qualification requirements of Code Section 401. All Benefits under this Plan are payable solely from the general assets of the Company, and a Participant or spouse has only the rights of a general unsecured creditor of the Company with respect to any Benefit payable under this Plan. No Benefit payable under this Plan will be payable from the trust fund maintained under or in accordance with the provisions of the ERP. The Company, however, has established a grantor trust, to which the Company makes contributions from time to time in accordance with the terms of the Trust Agreement.
Section 7.2.    Withholding. The Company has the right to deduct or withhold from the Benefit paid under the Plan (or from other amounts payable to the Participant, if necessary) all taxes that are required to be deducted or withheld under any provision of law of the United States or any other tax jurisdiction (including, but not limited to, U.S. Social Security and Medicare taxes (FICA) and income tax withholding) now in effect or that may become effective any time during the term of the Plan. The Company may accelerate the time or schedule of a payment in an amount sufficient to pay the FICA tax imposed on the Benefit, in addition to any additional income taxes imposed as a result of the accelerated payment, at the time the taxes are due. The total payment under this acceleration provision must not exceed the aggregate of the FICA amount and the income tax withholding related to that amount.

- 15 -





Section 7.3.    Administration. The Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee, which has full authority and power to: (a) administer the Plan; (b) construe the Plan terms; (c) make factual determinations; (d) resolve any ambiguities or inconsistencies; (e) determine eligibility for participation or benefits; and (f) decide all questions arising in the Plan administration, interpretation or application. All such actions or decisions made after a Change of Control will be subject to a de novo standard of judicial review.
Section 7.4.    Non-Assignability. No Benefit under this Plan may be assigned or alienated, or be subjected by attachment or otherwise to the claims of creditors of any Participant or spouse.
Section 7.5.    No Right to Continued Service. Neither the Plan nor any of its provisions may be construed as giving any Participant a right to continued employment with the Company.
Section 7.6.    Special Arrangements. Special rules or contractual arrangements for individual Executives may be approved by the Compensation Committee, in its discretion, and memorialized in appendices to the Plan.
Section 7.7.    Attorney’s Fees. In the event that any dispute or difference arising under or in connection with this Plan results in arbitration or litigation, the Company will reimburse the Participant for all reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses if the Participant prevails in the proceeding.
Section 7.8.    Notice. Each notice and other communication concerning the Plan must be in writing and is deemed given only when (a) delivered by hand, (b) transmitted by telex or telecopier (provided that a copy is sent at approximately the same time by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested), or (c) received by the addressee, if sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, or by Express Mail, Federal Express or other overnight delivery service. Notice must be given to the Company at its principal office and to a Participant at his or her last known address (or to such other address or telecopier number as a party may specify by notice given to the other party in accordance with this Section).
Section 7.9.    Claims Procedures. If a Participant, spouse, Beneficiary, or Alternate Payee (the “Claimant”) does not receive the Benefit to which the Claimant believes he or she is entitled, the Claimant may file a claim in writing with the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee will establish a claims procedure with the following provisions:
(a)    Notification of Decision. If the claim is wholly or partially denied, the Compensation Committee will notify the Claimant in writing within 90 days after the claim has been received (unless special circumstances require an extension of up to 90 additional days). The written notification must state the specific reasons for the denial of the claim and the specific references to the Plan provisions on which the denial is based. It must describe any additional material the Claimant may need to submit to the Compensation Committee to have the claim approved and must give the reasons the material is necessary. In addition, the notice must

- 16 -





explain the claim review procedure and be written in a manner calculated to be understood by the Claimant.
(b)    Claim Review Procedure. If the Claimant receives a notice that the claim has been denied, the Claimant, or his or her authorized representative, may appeal to the Compensation Committee for a review of the claim. The Claimant must submit a request for review in writing to the Compensation Committee no later than 60 days after the date the written notice of the claim denial is received. The Claimant, or his or her representative, may then review Plan documents that pertain to the claim and may submit issues and comments in writing to the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee must give the claim for review a full and fair review and must deliver to the claimant a written determination of the claim, including specific reasons for the decision, not later than 60 days after the date the Compensation Committee received the request for review (unless special circumstances require an extension of up to 60 additional days). The decision of the Compensation Committee will be final and conclusive.
Section 7.10.    New York Law Controlling. The Plan will be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.
Section 7.11.    Severability. Every provision of the Plan is intended to be severable. If any provision of the Plan is illegal or invalid for any reason whatsoever, the illegality or invalidity of that provision will not affect the validity or legality of the remainder of the Plan, and the Plan will be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision had never been made part of the Plan.
Section 7.12.    Binding on Successors. The Plan is binding upon the Participants and the Company, their heirs, successors, legal representatives and assigns.
Section 7.13.    Code Section 409A Savings Clause. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Plan, to the extent any amounts payable under this Plan (a) are subject to Code Section 409A, and (b) the time or form of payment of those amounts would not be in compliance with Code Section 409A, then, to the extent possible, payment of those amounts will be made at such time and in such a manner that payment will be in compliance with Code Section 409A. If the time or form of payment cannot be modified in such a way as to be in compliance with Code Section 409A, then the payment will be made as otherwise provided in this Plan, disregarding the provisions of this Section.
Section 7.14.    409A Liability Limitation. Benefits under the Plan are intended to comply with the rules of Code Section 409A and will be construed accordingly. However, the Company will not be liable to any Participant, spouse or Beneficiary with respect to any benefit related adverse tax consequences arising under Section 409A or other provision of the Code. All terms of this Plan that are undefined or ambiguous must be interpreted in a manner that is consistent with Code Section 409A if necessary to comply with Code Section 409A.

The Moog Inc.

Early payment of Supplemental Benefits under this Plan shall be made to an Executive who elects earlier Retirement under the Moog Inc. Employees’ Retirement Plan; provided, however, that no early payment shall be made unless the Executive’s Retirement is at age 60 or later with a combined total of age and Years of Service with the Company at least equal to 90; provided, further, that the Supplemental Benefits payable under this Plan shall be reduced by the early payment actuarial discount established under the Moog Inc.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Supplemental Benefits shall be payable to an Executive who receives benefits under the Moog Inc. Employees’ Retirement Plan because of Disability, without regard to such Participant’s eligibility for early or normal Retirement benefits under this Plan.

- 28 -





A Spouse shall receive a payment of Supplemental Benefits determined by applying the above benefit formula if, and to the extent that, the Spouse receives pre‑retirement surviving spouse benefits under the Moog Inc. Employees’ Retirement Plan because the Executive died before commencing benefit payments under the Moog Inc. Employees’ Retirement Plan; provided, however, that if the Executive had not attained age 65 when he died, the Supplemental Benefits shall be determined as if the Executive attained age 65 on the day before his death.
Supplemental Benefits under this Plan, to which a Spouse is entitled pursuant to the preceding paragraph, shall be paid to a Spouse who receives pre‑retirement surviving spouse benefits from the Moog Inc. Employees’ Retirement Plan before the Participant would have attained age 65; provided, however, that the Supplemental Benefits payable under this Plan shall be reduced by the early payment actuarial discount established under the Moog Inc. Employees’ Retirement Plan for the commencement of benefits before age 65.

ARTICLE IV.

Time and Form of Benefit Payment
Any benefit under this Plan shall be paid to the Participant, or his Spouse, at the same time and in the same form and manner as benefit payments are made to, or on behalf of, the Participant or Spouse under the Moog Inc. Employees’ Retirement Plan, except as otherwise provided in Article III.
ARTICLE V.
Funding
This Plan shall be maintained as an unfunded Plan which is not intended to meet the qualification requirements of Section 401 of the Code. All benefits under this Plan shall be payable solely from the general assets of the Company and a Participant or Spouse shall have only the rights of a general unsecured creditor of the Company. No benefits under this Plan shall be payable from the trust fund maintained under or in accordance with the provisions of the Moog Inc. Employees’ Retirement Plan. The Company, however, has established a grantor trust, to which the Company makes contributions from time to time in accordance with the terms of the Trust Agreement.

ARTICLE VI.
Effective Date
The Effective Date of this Plan shall be October 1, 1978.

ARTICLE VII.
Agreement Not to Compete
Payment of benefits under this Plan is contingent upon the Participant’s agreement not to directly or indirectly engage in or compete with the business of the Company, either as owner, partner or employee for a period of the later to occur of the expiration of three years after Retirement or the attainment of 65 years of age. In the event a Participant shall compete with the business of the Company, payment of benefits under this Plan shall be suspended so long as such Participant engages in activity deemed to be in competition with the business of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Article VII shall not apply to a Participant after the Participant’s Involuntary Termination of Employment by virtue of a Change of Control.
ARTICLE VIII.
Benefits Upon Certain Terminations or Change of Control
The provisions of this Article VIII shall apply only where there has been an Involuntary Termination of Employment or a Change of Control.
Upon an Involuntary Termination of Employment, other than by virtue of a Change of Control, a Participant who would be eligible to receive benefits under this Plan if he was then age 65 or more, shall be vested in his benefits under this Plan upon such Involuntary Termination of Employment and, upon attainment of age 65, shall receive such benefits determined as follows: the benefit payable at age 65 shall be determined under Article III using the Executive’s Compensation paid prior to such Involuntary Termination of Employment, instead of Compensation paid prior to Retirement, subject to further adjustment by reducing the combined benefit target of Article III by one percent for each year of the Participant’s age under 65 at the time of such Involuntary Termination of Employment. For example, a Participant age 45 at the time of such

- 30 -





Involuntary Termination of Employment, with 15 Years of Service to the Company, upon attaining age 65, would have a combined benefit target of 44 percent (55 percent - (55 percent x 20 percent)  =  44 percent) instead of the combined benefit target of 55 percent that would be payable if the Participant were then 65 years of age with 15 Years of Service.
Upon a Change of Control, a Participant who would be eligible to receive benefits under this Plan if he was then age 65 or more, shall be vested in his benefits under this Plan upon such Change of Control and, upon attainment of age 65, shall receive such benefits determined as follows: the benefit payable at age 65 shall be determined under Article III using the greater of the Compensation paid to the Executive prior to such Change of Control or the Compensation paid to the Executive prior to Retirement.
ARTICLE IX.
Miscellaneous
Social Security: Any increases in Social Security benefits payable to a Participant after Retirement shall not be considered in determining any benefits payable under this Plan.
Nonassignability: No benefit under this Plan shall be assigned or alienated, or be subjected by attachment or otherwise to the claims of creditors of any Participant or Spouse.
Nonguarantee of Employment: This Plan shall not be construed as giving any Participant the right to be retained in the employment of the Company.
Death Benefits: Except as provided in Article III (with respect to the payment of benefits under this Plan to a Spouse because pre‑retirement surviving spouse benefits are payable under the Moog Inc. Employees’ Retirement Plan) or Article IV (with respect to the payment of benefits under this Plan to a Spouse because of the form and manner of benefit payments elected by the Participant under the Moog Inc. Employees’ Retirement Plan), there shall be no death benefit payable under this Plan.
Deferred Retirement: In the event that a Participant elects a deferred Retirement date after age 65, the amount of benefit payable under this Plan at Retirement shall not be adjusted other than as provided by the benefit formulas in Article III.

- 31 -





Attorney’s Fees: In the event that any dispute or difference arising under or in connection with this Plan results in arbitration or litigation, Company shall reimburse Executive for all reasonable Attorney’s Fees and expenses if Executive prevails in such proceeding.

Except as otherwise provided herein, dividends paid in cash on Company Stock or Affiliate Stock held by the Trust, including Company Stock or Affiliate Stock held in the Suspense Account, may be applied, immediately upon receipt thereof by the Trustee, to pay interest and to repay or pre-pay scheduled principal due under a Loan, which application will be made in the order those principal payments are due. Extraordinary Dividends will not be used to pay interest on or principal of a Loan, but will be invested in additional Company Stock or Affiliate Stock, at such times as the Trustee determines in its sole discretion determines. Dividends that are not paid in cash or in Company Stock or Affiliate Stock (including Extraordinary Dividends, or portions thereof) may be reduced to cash by the Trustee and reinvested in Company Stock or Affiliate Stock, at such times as the Trustee determines in its sole discretion determines. Investments in Company Stock or Affiliate Stock may be made through open-market purchases, private transactions, or, with the Committee’s consent, purchases from the treasury of the Company.

ARTICLE 3    

RELEASE AND ALLOCATION OF COMPANY STOCK AND AFFILIATE STOCK
Section 3.1.    Available Shares. Subject to the other provisions of this Article, when any principal on a Loan is paid or forgiven with respect to any period (a “Principal Payment”), the number of shares of Company Stock or Affiliate Stock acquired with the proceeds of the Loan that is available for allocation (“Available Shares”) will be determined as follows:
Multiply:
(1)    The number of shares acquired with the proceeds of the Loan and held in the Trust immediately before such payment or forgiveness (excluding Company Stock or Affiliate Stock held in the Suspense Account), by
(2)    A fraction
(i)    The numerator of which is the amount of the Principal Payment and
(ii)    The denominator of which is the sum of such Principal Payment and the remaining principal of such Loan outstanding after such Principal Payment.
No fractional shares of Company Stock or Affiliate Stock will become Available Shares. If the preceding computation results in fractional shares, the number of Available Shares will be computed by rounding down to the next whole number.
Additionally, the following will become Available Shares for any period:
(1)    Shares of Company Stock or Affiliate Stock held as part of the Trust Fund not acquired with the proceeds of a Loan and not held in the Suspense Account;
(2)    Shares of Company Stock or Affiliate Stock not encumbered as collateral with respect to a Loan, as the Committee may designate from time to time to be released from the Suspense Account; and
(3)    Shares of Company Stock or Affiliate Stock as the Committee may designate from time to time to be released from encumbrance as collateral with respect to a Loan.

- 5 -





The Committee will inform the Trustee of the number of shares of Company Stock that will become Available Shares from time to time, and the Trustee will be permitted to rely on the directions provided by the Committee.
Section 3.2.    Allocations. Subject to the provisions of Section 3.3, Available Shares will be allocated and transferred by the Trustee to the Plans, as directed by the Committee in its sole discretion. Allocations will be made at such time as the Committee determines in its sole discretion.
The Committee, in its discretion, also may direct the Trustee to allocate and make transfers from the Trust Fund to Plans in the form of cash or property other than Company Stock or Affiliate Stock, in which case the Committee may direct the Trustee to sell a sufficient number of Available Shares, the proceeds of which may be transferred to the Plans. The Committee will notify the Trustee of the number of shares of Company Stock, Affiliate Stock or the amount of cash that are to be transferred to a Plan, and the Trustee is permitted to rely on the directions provided by the Committee.
Section 3.3.    Excess Shares.
(a)    To the extent that the Fair Market Value of the shares of the Company Stock or Affiliate Stock that become Available Shares in any period exceeds the Target Value for that period, Available Shares with a Fair Market Value equal to the excess will be “Excess Shares.” For purposes of this Section, the Fair Market Value of shares of Company Stock or Affiliate Stock that become Available Shares will be determined as of the respective dates shares became Available Shares pursuant to Section 3.1.
(b)    As used herein, the term “Shortfall Amount” means the amount by which the Fair Market Value of shares of Company Stock or Affiliate Stock that became Available Shares in any period (determined as of the respective dates that the shares become Available Shares) is less than the Target Value for that period. If there is a Shortfall Amount in any prior period, Excess Shares will be allocated pursuant to Section 3.2 until the aggregate Fair Market Value of Excess Shares (determined as of the respective dates of allocation) which has been allocated under this Subsection for all prior periods equals the total of the Shortfall Amounts for all prior periods.
(c)    If any Excess Shares remain after the application of Section 3.3(b), such Excess Shares will be held in a Suspense Account. If there is a Shortfall Amount in any later periods, Excess Shares will be removed from such Suspense Account and allocated pursuant to Section 3.2 until the Fair Market Value of Excess Shares so allocated (determined as of the respective dates of allocation) equals such Shortfall Amount.
(d)    If any Excess Shares remain in the Suspense Account at the termination of the Trust, such Excess Shares will be transferred to the Company to be held in its treasury.
(e)    The Committee will inform the Trustee of the number of shares of Company Stock or Affiliate Stock that are Excess Shares from time to time, and direct the

- 6 -





Trustee as to the proper application of such Excess Shares, to the reduction of Shortfall Amounts, and to placement of such Excess Shares in the Suspense Account. The Trustee is permitted to rely on the directions provided by the Committee.

ARTICLE 4    

COMPENSATION, EXPENSES AND WITHHOLDING
Section 4.1.    Compensation and Expenses. The Trustee is entitled to such reasonable compensation for its services as may be agreed upon from time to time by the Company. The Trustee will be reimbursed for its reasonable legal, accounting, broker, custodial and appraisal fees, expenses and other charges incurred in connection with the administration, management, investment and distribution of the Trust Fund. Compensation and reimbursement of expenses will be paid by the Company. If reimbursements of expenses are not paid within 60 days from the date the Company is notified of such fees and expenses, those amounts may be charged against the Trust Fund.
Section 4.2.    Withholding of Taxes. While it is anticipated that the Company will comply, or make arrangements to comply with, all applicable Federal, state or local withholding requirements, the Trustee, to the extent required to comply with applicable law, may withhold, require withholding, or otherwise satisfy the Trust’s withholding obligation, on any distribution the Trust is directed to make. Upon settlement of a tax withholding liability, the Trustee will distribute the balance of such amount, if any. Prior to making any distribution from the Trust, the Trustee may require a release or other documents from any taxing authority, or may require indemnity, to the extent the Trustee reasonably determines is necessary for its protection.

ARTICLE 5    

ADMINISTRATION OF TRUST FUND
Section 5.1.    Management and Control of Trust Fund. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Trustee has exclusive authority, discretion and responsibility to manage and control the assets of the Trust Fund.
Section 5.2.    Investment of Funds. Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.2 or in this Section, the Trustee will invest and reinvest the Trust Fund exclusively in Company Stock or Affiliate Stock, including any accretions resulting from the proceeds of a tender offer, recapitalization or similar transaction that, if not in Company Stock or Affiliate Stock, will be reduced to cash as soon as practicable. The Trustee may invest the Trust Fund in Company Stock or Affiliate Stock without regard to any law or rule of court concerning diversification, risk or nonproductivity, the applicability of which are fully waived by the Company.
At the direction of the Committee, the Trustee, while investments of the Trust Fund in Company Stock or Affiliate Stock, distributions or payments of expenses are pending, will temporarily invest the Trust Fund in (i) investments in United States government obligations with maturities of less than one year, (ii) interest-bearing accounts including but not limited to certificates of deposit, time deposits, saving accounts and money market accounts with maturities of less than one year in any bank, including the Trustee’s, the accounts of which are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or other similar federal agency, (iii) obligations issued or guaranteed by any agency or instrumentality of the United States with maturities of less than one year, (iv) short-term discount obligations of the Federal National Mortgage Association, or (v) short-term investments of a type then in use by the Company with respect to its own funds. Absent direction from the Committee, the Trustee, while investments of the Trust Fund in Company Stock or Affiliate Stock, distributions or payments of expenses are pending, will invest the Trust Fund in a short term government securities mutual fund.
At the direction of the Committee, the Trustee will transfer to the Company shares of Company Stock in exchange for Affiliate Stock or cash, or will transfer to the Company Affiliate Stock in exchange for Company Stock or cash.
Except in a transaction that is part of a tender offer for Company Stock, the Trustee may sell, through open-market sale or private transactions, Available Shares at such time and at such prices only as the Committee may direct. All proceeds of those sales will be invested, as provided in this Section 5.2, until such time as the Trustee purchases additional shares of Company Stock or Affiliate Stock. The proceeds also may be used by the Trustee to pay compensation, fees, expenses or taxes as provided in Article 4.
Section 5.3.    Trustee’s Administrative Powers. Except as otherwise provided herein, and subject to the Trustee’s duties hereunder, the Trustee has the following powers and rights, in addition to those provided elsewhere in this Agreement and by law:

- 9 -





(a)    To retain any asset of the Trust Fund for the purposes set forth herein.
(b)    Subject to Sections 2.2, 5.2 and 5.4, and Article 3, to sell any Trust Fund assets at public or private sale.
(c)    Upon direction from the Committee, to borrow from the Company for the purposes of acquiring Company Stock or Affiliate Stock as authorized by this Agreement, to enter into loan agreements upon such terms (including reasonable interest and security for the loan and rights to renegotiate and prepay such loan) as may be determined by the Committee. Any collateral given by the Trustee for a Loan will be limited to cash contributed by the Company to the Trust, dividends paid on Company Stock or Affiliate Stock held in the Trust Fund, and Company Stock or Affiliate Stock acquired with the proceeds of a Loan.
(d)    With the consent of the Committee, to settle, submit to arbitration, compromise, contest, prosecute or abandon claims and demands in favor of or against the Trust Fund.
(e)    Subject to Section 5.4, to vote or to give any consent with respect to any securities, including any Company Stock or Affiliate Stock, held by the Trust either in person or by proxy for any purpose.
(f)    To exercise any of the powers and rights of an individual owner with respect to any asset of the Trust Fund and to perform any and all other acts that in its judgment are necessary or appropriate for the proper administration of the Trust Fund, even if those powers, rights and acts are not specifically enumerated in the Trust.
(g)    To employ any accountants, actuaries, investment bankers, appraisers, other advisors and agents the Trustee reasonably determines are necessary to collect, manage, administer, invest, value and distribute the Trust’s assets and borrowings of the Trustee made in accordance with Section 5.3(c), and to pay their reasonable fees and expenses, which will be deemed to be expenses of the Trust and for which the Trustee will be reimbursed in accordance with Section 4.1.
(h)    To cause any asset of the Trust Fund to be issued, held or registered in the Trustee’s individual name or in the name of its nominee, or in such form that title will pass by delivery, as long as that the records of the Trustee indicate the true ownership of the asset.
(i)    To utilize another entity as custodian to hold, but not invest or otherwise manage or control, some or all of the assets of the Trust Fund.
(j)    To consult with legal counsel (who may, or may not, also be counsel for the Trustee or the Company generally) with respect to any of its duties or obligations hereunder, and to pay counsel’s reasonable fees and expenses, which will be deemed to be expenses of the Trust and for which the Trustee will be reimbursed in accordance with Section 4.1.

- 10 -





Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Trust nor the Trustee will have any power to, and will not engage in, any activity that could give the Trust the objective of carrying on a business and dividing the gains therefrom, within the meaning of Section 301.7701-2 of the Procedure and Administrative Regulations promulgated pursuant to the Code.
Section 5.4.    Voting and Tendering of Company Stock.
(a)    Except as provided in Subsections (c) and (d), the Trustee, in its sole discretion, will vote or abstain from voting, all shares of Company Stock or Affiliate Stock held by the Trust on each matter brought before an annual or special stockholders meeting or on each matter with respect to which any written consent of stockholders is to be executed. In exercising those voting rights, the Trustee agrees to consider, in connection with those decisions, not only the direct financial impact on the Trust Fund, but also the potential effects, direct or indirect, on Participants and the Company’s current and former employees and the communities in which the current and former employees are located. In connection with its deliberations, the Trustee may, to the extent possible, obtain information as to how shares of Company Stock or Affiliate Stock currently held by the Plans will be voted. The Trustee also may consult with the Board and the Committee to obtain their assessment of how the exercise of its voting rights will affect the Company. The Trustee will not breach its fiduciary duty if he considers any of the preceding factors. The Trustee also will not breach its fiduciary duty if he considers any other factors he reasonably determines are relevant to the exercise of its voting rights.
(b)    The Trustee may rely on a certificate of the trustee of each of the Plans as to the manner and proportions in which voting rights with respect to shares of Company Stock or Affiliate Stock are to be exercised or not exercised by the trustee of that Plan. The Trustee will be fully protected against liability for any action taken, or omitted to be taken, in good faith reliance on any such certificate.
(c)    Voting of Company Stock on Significant Transactions. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Agreement, the Trustee will follow the directions of participants in the Moog Inc. Retirement Savings Plan (the “RSP”) as to the manner in which shares of Company Stock held by the Trust are to be voted on each matter involving corporate merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, recapitalization, reclassification, liquidation, dissolution or similar matter (“Significant Transactions”), or the manner in which any consent is to be executed, in each case as provided below.
The Trustee, with respect to each Significant Transaction, will vote the number of shares (including fractional shares) of Company Stock held by the Trust as follows:
(1)    The Trustee will assign to each RSP Participant a number of shares (the “RSP Participant Directed Amount”). The RSP Participant Directed Amount is equal to the product of:
(i)    The total number of shares of Company Stock held in the Trust Fund, and

- 11 -





(ii)    A fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Company Stock allocated in the RSP to the RSP Participant, and the denominator of which is the total number of shares of Company Stock allocated to all RSP Participants.
(2)    Each share assigned to each RSP Participant in accordance with (1) above will be voted in accordance with the RSP Participant’s instructions to the trustee of the RSP.
The Trustee may rely on a certificate of the trustee of the RSP as to the manner and proportions in which voting rights with respect to shares of Company Stock are to be exercised or not exercised by the trustee of the RSP. The Trustee will be fully protected against liability for any action taken, or omitted to be taken, in good faith reliance on any such certificate. If the Trustee does not receive from one or more RSP Participants timely instruction as to the manner in which to exercise voting rights, the Trustee will vote in favor or against a Significant Action, or will abstain, as the case may be, with respect to assigned shares of Company Stock that remain undirected, pursuant to the foregoing provisions, in the same proportions as the assigned shares of Company Stock for which the Trustee received specific directions under this subsection.
(d)    Tender or Exchange of Company Stock. The Trustee will tender or exchange, or not tender or exchange, as the case may be, a number of shares of Company Stock equal to the RSP Participant Directed Amount for each RSP Participant in accordance with the RSP Participant’s instructions to the trustee of the RSP. The Trustee may rely on a certificate of the trustee of the RSP as to the proportions of shares of Company Stock that are to be tendered or exchanged, or not tendered or exchanged, as the case may be, by the trustee of the RSP. The Trustee will be fully protected against liability for any action taken, or omitted to be taken, in good faith reliance on any such certificate. If the Trustee does not receive from one or more RSP Participants timely instruction as to the manner in which to respond to a tender or exchange offer, the Trustee will not tender or exchange any shares of Company Stock with respect to which those RSP Participants have the right of direction, and the Trustee will have no discretion in such matter.
(e)    In the event that the RSP, for any reason, ceases to exist, or the Committee determines in good faith that the RSP is no longer an appropriate plan for the purpose of this Section 5.4, the Committee will, for purposes of this Section 5.4, substitute for the RSP another employee benefit plan of the Company or its Affiliates covering a broad cross-section of individuals employed by the Company and its Affiliates.

- 12 -





Section 5.5.    Indemnification.
(a)    To the extent lawfully allowable, the Company will indemnify the Trustee and hold the Trustee harmless from and against any claims, demands, actions, administrative or other proceedings, causes of action, liability, loss, costs, damage or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements), including any liability alleged to have resulted from a violation of the Securities Act of 1933 that may be asserted against it, in any way arising out of or incurred as a result of its action or failure to act in connection with the operation and administration of the Trust. Indemnification under this subsection, however, will not apply to the extent that the Trustee has acted in willful or grossly negligent violation of applicable law or its duties under this Trust, or has acted in bad faith. The Trustee will not be liable to any person for any loss of any kind that may result by reason of any action taken by it in accordance with any direction of the Committee or pursuant to Section 5.4. The Trustee will be fully protected from liability for any action taken, or omitted to be taken, in good faith reliance on any instrument, certificate, or paper delivered by the Committee, Board or any trustee of a Plan and believed in good faith by the Trustee to be genuine and to be signed or presented by the proper person or persons. The Trustee will be under no duty to make any investigation or inquiry as to any statement contained in any such writing, but may accept the same as conclusive evidence of the truth and accuracy of the statements contained the writing.
(b)    The Company may, but will not be required to, maintain liability insurance to insure its obligations hereunder. If any payments made by the Company to the Trust pursuant to this indemnity are covered by insurance, the Company or the Trust (as applicable) will be subrogated to the rights of the indemnified party against the insurance company.
(c)    Prior to the time the Company determines whether the Trustee will or will not be indemnified pursuant to this Section, the Company will advance to the Trustee any cost or expenses incurred by the Trustee in connection with the defense of any such claims, demands, actions, administrative or other proceedings or other causes of action.
Section 5.6.    General Duty to Communicate to Committee. The Trustee will promptly notify the Committee of all communications with or from any government agency or with respect to any legal proceeding with regard to the Trust and with or from any Participant concerning its entitlement under the Trust.

Section 6.2.    Reports of Trustee. Within a reasonable period following the close of each Trust Year, the Trustee, or a person designated by the Trustee, will make available to the Committee a trust accounting report for the Trust Year. The report will include a listing of:
(1)    All securities and other property acquired or disposed of, and all receipts, disbursements and other transactions effected by the Trust after the date of the last periodic report.

In addition, the Trustee will provide such other information regarding the Trust Fund’s assets and transactions as the Committee, in its discretion, may reasonably request.
Section 6.3.    Final Report.

- 14 -






ARTICLE 7    

SUCCESSION OF TRUSTEE
Section 7.1.    Resignation of Trustee. The Trustee, or any successor thereto, may resign as Trustee at any time by delivering a written notice of resignation to the Board. The resignation will be effective no sooner than 30 days after delivery of written notice to the Board, unless the Board agrees to accept shorter notice. In any event, the Trustee’s resignation will not be effective until the successor Trustee’s appointment has been accepted.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, an individual Trustee will be deemed to have resigned if the Trustee dies, or if the Committee receives written certification from an attending physician that the individual Trustee has a physical or mental condition that renders the Trustee incapable of making decisions with respect to Trust matters for a period that is expected to exceed 6 months. In such case, the Board will immediately appoint a successor Trustee pursuant to Section 7.3. Until the Board is able to take formal action to appoint a successor Trustee, the Chairman of the Board is authorized to appoint an interim Trustee who will have full authority to act as Trustee until a successor Trustee is appointed pursuant to Section 7.3.
If an individual Trustee has a physical or mental condition that renders the Trustee incapable of making decisions with respect to Trust matters, but the period of incapacity is not expected to exceed 6 months, the Trustee will not be deemed to have resigned. However, to assure the proper operation of the Trust, the Chairman of the Board is authorized to appoint an interim Trustee who will have full authority to act as Trustee until the Trustee is able to resume his duties as Trustee.
Section 7.2.    Removal of Trustee. The Trustee, or any successor thereto, may be removed by the Board at any time by delivering a Board-approved written notice of removal to the Trustee and the Committee. The removal will take effect at the date specified in the written notice of removal, which will not be less than 30 days after delivery of the notice, unless the Trustee agrees to accept shorter notice. In any event, a Trustee’s removal will be effective until the successor Trustee’s appointment has been accepted.
Section 7.3.    Appointment of Successor Trustee. Whenever the Trustee or any successor thereto resigns or is removed or a vacancy in the position otherwise occurs, the Board will use its best efforts to appoint one or more Persons as successor Trustee. The appointment will be made as soon as practicable, but no more than 30 days, after receipt or delivery, as the case may be, of a notice described in Section 7.1 or 7.2. A successor Trustee’s appointment will not become effective until the successor accepts the appointment by delivering written acceptance to the Board. If a successor is not appointed within the 30-day period, the Trustee, at the Company’s expense, may petition a court of competent jurisdiction for appointment of a successor. In any event, neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates may be appointed as a successor Trustee.

- 15 -





Section 7.4.    Succession to Trust Fund Assets. Title to all property held by the Trust will vest in any successor Trustee acting pursuant to the provisions hereof without the execution or filing of any further instrument. Nonetheless, a resigning or removed Trustee will execute all instruments and do all acts necessary to vest title in the successor Trustee. Each successor Trustee will have, exercise and enjoy all of the powers, both discretionary and ministerial, conferred by this Agreement on the predecessor Trustee. A successor Trustee will not be obliged to examine or review the accounts, records, or acts of, or property delivered by, any predecessor Trustee, and will not be responsible for any action or any failure to act on the part of any predecessor Trustee.
Section 7.5.    Continuation of Trust. In no event will the legal disability, resignation or removal of a Trustee terminate the Trust, but the Board will appoint a successor Trustee in accordance with Section 7.3 to carry out the terms of the Trust.
Section 7.6.    Changes in Organization of Trustee. In the event that any corporate Trustee serving hereunder will be converted into, will merge or consolidate with, or will sell or transfer substantially all of its assets and business to, another corporation, state or federal, the corporation resulting from such conversion, merger or consolidation, or the corporation to which such sale or transfer will be made, will thereafter become and be the Trustee under the Trust with the same effect as though originally so named, but only if such corporation is qualified to be a successor Trustee hereunder.
Section 7.7.    Continuance of Trustee’s Powers in Event of Termination of the Trust. In the event of the termination of the Trust, as provided herein, the Trustee will dispose of the Trust Fund in accordance with the provisions hereof. Until the final distribution of the Trust Fund, the Trustee will continue to have all powers provided hereunder as necessary or expedient for the orderly liquidation and distribution of the Trust Fund.

ARTICLE 8    

AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION
Section 8.1.    Amendments. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Board may amend the Trust at any time and from time to time in any manner that it deems desirable. However, no amendment may change the duties of the Trustee without the Trustee’s consent, which the Trustee may not unreasonably withhold.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board will retain the power under all circumstances to amend the Trust to add or delete Plans, and to clarify any ambiguities or similar issues of interpretation in this Agreement.
Section 8.2.    Termination. Subject to this Section, the Trust will terminate on the earlier of (a) the date the Trust no longer holds any assets, or (b) the date specified in a written notice of termination given by the Board to the Trustee.
Upon termination of the Trust, the Trustee will sell all or a portion of the assets of the Trust Fund as directed by the Committee. The proceeds of that sale or the assets then remaining in the Trust Fund will then be distributed by the Trustee to the Plans, used toward repayment of any Loan or returned to the Company, as directed by the Committee in its discretion. After distribution of all assets held in the Trust Fund, the Company will be deemed to have forgiven all amounts then outstanding under any Loan, including accrued and unpaid interest.
Section 8.3.    Form of Amendment or Termination. Any amendment or termination of the Trust will be evidenced by a written instrument signed by an authorized officer of the Company, certifying that the amendment or termination has been authorized and directed by the Company or the Board, as applicable. In the case of any amendment for which the Trustee’s consent is required by Section 8.1, the Trustee or its authorized officer, as the case may be, will sign the required consent.

No right or interest of any person to receive distributions from the Trust will be assignable or transferable, in whole or in part, either directly or by operation of law or otherwise, including, but not by way of limitation, execution, levy, garnishment, attachment, pledge, or bankruptcy, but excluding death or mental incompetency. No right or interest of any person to receive distributions from the Trust will be subject to any obligation or liability of that person, including claims for alimony or the support of any spouse or child.
