SEABOARD CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Seaboard Corporation and its subsidiaries (“Seaboard”). These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of Seaboard for the year ended December 31, 2020 as filed in its annual report on Form 10-K. Seaboard’s first three quarterly periods include approximately 13 weekly periods ending on the Saturday closest to the end of March, June and September. Seaboard’s year-end is December 31. Preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Seaboard has consistently applied all accounting policies as disclosed in its latest annual report on Form 10-K to all periods presented in these condensed consolidated financial statements. During the fourth quarter of 2020, Seaboard elected to change its method of valuing its inventories from the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method to the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method. The effects of the change in accounting principle from LIFO to FIFO were retrospectively applied and, as a result, certain financial statement line items in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the three months ended March  28, 2020 were adjusted as necessary. For further information, refer to the annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Supplemental Cash Flow Information

Non-cash investing activities for the three months ended April 3, 2021, included purchases of property, plant and equipment in accounts payable of $24 million. The following table includes supplemental cash and non-cash information related to leases. Seaboard reports the amortization of right of use assets and changes in operating lease liabilities in other liabilities, exclusive of debt in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

The change in the carrying amount of goodwill was related to foreign currency exchange differences of $5 million within the Commodity Trading and Milling (“CT&M”) segment. As of April 3, 2021, intangible assets, included in other non-current assets, were $54 million, net of accumulated amortization of $25 million.

Income Taxes

Seaboard computes its year-to-date provision for income taxes by applying the estimated annual effective tax rate to year-to-date pre-tax income or loss and adjusts the provision for discrete tax items recorded in the period.

Accounting Standard Recently Adopted

On January 1, 2020, Seaboard adopted guidance which requires the use of a new current expected credit loss model in order to determine the allowance for credit losses with respect to receivables, among other financial instruments. This model estimates the lifetime of expected credit loss and replaces the existing incurred loss model. As a result of this adoption, Seaboard recorded a cumulative-effect adjustment of $3 million on January 1, 2020 that decreased retained earnings and increased the allowance for credit losses.

The outstanding balances under uncommitted lines of credit were $346 million and $222 million as of April 3, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. Of the outstanding balance at April 3, 2021, $150 million was denominated in foreign currencies with $109 million denominated in the South African rand, $24 million denominated in the Canadian dollar and the remaining in various other currencies. There were no outstanding balances under committed lines of credit as of April 3, 2021 and December 31, 2020. The weighted average interest rate for outstanding lines of credit was 2.64% and 3.89% as of April 3, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

The interest rate on the Term Loan due 2028 was 1.73% and 1.77% as of April 3, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The weighted average interest rate on Seaboard’s foreign subsidiary obligations was 7.70% and 3.51% as of April 3, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. Foreign subsidiary obligations as of December 31, 2020, included a $46 million euro-denominated note payable related to a 2018 acquisition that was repaid in January 2021.

Seaboard was in compliance with all restrictive debt covenants relating to these agreements as of April 3, 2021.

Legal Proceedings

On June 28, 2018, twelve indirect purchasers of pork products filed a class action complaint in the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota (the “District Court”) against several pork processors, including Seaboard Foods LLC, and Agri Stats, Inc., a company described in the complaint as a data sharing service. The complaint also named Seaboard Corporation as a defendant. Additional class action complaints making similar claims on behalf of putative classes of direct and indirect purchasers were later filed in the District Court, and three additional actions by standalone plaintiffs (including the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico) were filed in or transferred to the District Court. The consolidated actions are styled In re Pork Antitrust Litigation. The operative complaints allege, among other things, that beginning in January 2009, the defendants conspired and combined to fix, raise, maintain, and stabilize the price of pork products in violation of U.S. antitrust laws by coordinating their output and limiting production, allegedly facilitated by the exchange of non-public information about prices, capacity, sales volume and demand through Agri Stats, Inc. The complaints on behalf of the putative classes of indirect purchasers also assert claims under various state laws, including state antitrust laws, unfair competition laws, consumer protection statutes, and common law unjust enrichment. The relief sought in the respective complaints includes treble damages, injunctive relief, pre- and post-judgment interest, costs, and attorneys’ fees. On October 16, 2020, the District Court denied defendants’ motions to dismiss the amended complaints, but the District Court later dismissed all claims against Seaboard Corporation without prejudice.

In early 2021, two additional standalone plaintiffs filed similar actions in District Courts in Florida and Texas, respectively. These actions are currently stayed pending resolution of a transfer motion before the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation.

Seaboard intends to defend all of these cases vigorously. It is impossible at this stage either to determine the probability of a favorable or unfavorable outcome resulting from these suits, or to reasonably estimate the amount of potential loss or range of potential loss, if any, resulting from the suits.

On March 20, 2018, the bankruptcy trustee (the “Trustee”) for Cereoil Uruguay S.A. (“Cereoil”) filed a suit in the Bankruptcy Court of First Instance in Uruguay that was served during the second quarter of 2018 naming as parties Seaboard and Seaboard’s subsidiaries, Seaboard Overseas Limited (“SOL”) and Seaboard Uruguay Holdings Ltd. (“Seaboard Uruguay”). Seaboard has a 45% indirect ownership of Cereoil. The suit seeks an order requiring Seaboard, SOL and Seaboard Uruguay to reimburse Cereoil the amount of $22 million, contending that deliveries of soybeans to SOL pursuant to purchase agreements should be set aside as fraudulent conveyances. Seaboard intends to defend this case vigorously. It is impossible at this stage to determine the probability of a favorable or unfavorable outcome resulting from this suit. In the event of an adverse ruling, Seaboard and its two subsidiaries could be ordered to pay the amount of $22 million. Any award in this case would offset against any award in the additional case described below filed by the Trustee on April 27, 2018.

On April 27, 2018, the Trustee for Cereoil filed another suit in the Bankruptcy Court of First Instance in Uruguay that was served during the second quarter of 2018 naming as parties Seaboard, SOL, Seaboard Uruguay, all directors of Cereoil, including two individuals employed by Seaboard who served as directors at the behest of Seaboard, and the Chief Financial Officer of Cereoil, an employee of Seaboard who also served at the behest of Seaboard (collectively, the “Cereoil Defendants”). The Trustee contends that the Cereoil Defendants acted with willful misconduct to cause Cereoil’s insolvency, and thus should be ordered to pay all liabilities of Cereoil, net of assets. The bankruptcy filing lists total liabilities of $53 million and assets of $30 million. Seaboard intends to defend this case vigorously. It is impossible at this stage to determine the probability of a favorable or unfavorable outcome resulting from this suit. In the event of an adverse ruling, Seaboard and the other Cereoil Defendants could be ordered to pay the amount of the net indebtedness of Cereoil, which based on the bankruptcy schedules would total $23 million. It is possible that the net indebtedness could be higher than this amount if Cereoil’s liabilities are greater than $53 million and/or Cereoil’s assets are worth less than $30 million. In addition, in the event of an adverse ruling, the Bankruptcy Court of First Instance could order payment of the Trustee’s professional fees, interest, and other expenses. Any award in this case would offset against any award in the case described above filed on March 20, 2018.

8

A creditor of Cereoil which has a claim in the bankruptcy proceeding pending in Uruguay has threatened to bring legal action in the U.S. against Seaboard alleging on various legal theories that Seaboard is responsible for indebtedness of approximately $10 million, plus accrued interest. Seaboard will vigorously defend this action should it be brought.

On May 15, 2018, the Trustee for Nolston S.A. (“Nolston”) filed a suit in the Bankruptcy Court of First Instance in Uruguay that was served during the second quarter of 2018 naming as parties Seaboard and the other Cereoil Defendants. Seaboard has a 45% indirect ownership of Nolston. The Trustee contends that the Cereoil Defendants acted with willful misconduct to cause Nolston’s insolvency, and thus should be ordered to pay all liabilities of Nolston, net of assets. The bankruptcy filing lists total liabilities of $29 million and assets of $15 million. Seaboard intends to defend this case vigorously. It is impossible at this stage to determine the probability of a favorable or unfavorable outcome resulting from this suit. In the event of an adverse ruling, Seaboard and the other Cereoil Defendants could be ordered to pay the amount of the net indebtedness of Nolston, which based on the bankruptcy schedules would total $14 million. It is possible that the net indebtedness could be higher than this amount if Nolston’s liabilities are greater than $29 million and/or Nolston’s assets are worth less than $15 million. In addition, in the event of an adverse ruling, the Bankruptcy Court of First Instance could order payment of the Trustee’s professional fees, interest, and other expenses.

Seaboard is subject to various administrative and judicial proceedings and other legal matters related to the normal conduct of its business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate resolution of these items is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial statements of Seaboard.

Guarantees

Certain of the non-consolidated affiliates and third-party contractors who perform services for Seaboard have bank debt supporting their underlying operations. From time to time, Seaboard will provide guarantees of that debt in order to further Seaboard’s business objectives. Seaboard does not issue guarantees of third parties for compensation. As of April 3, 2021, guarantees outstanding to affiliates and third parties were not material. Seaboard has not accrued a liability for any of the affiliate or third-party guarantees as management considers the likelihood of loss to be remote.

Note 5 – Employee Benefits

Seaboard has qualified defined benefit pension plans for its domestic salaried and clerical employees that were hired before January 1, 2014. Effective January 1, 2021, Seaboard transferred assets and liabilities for employees of certain Seaboard subsidiaries into a successor plan. Seaboard also sponsors non-qualified, unfunded supplemental executive plans, and has certain individual, non-qualified, unfunded supplemental retirement agreements for certain retired employees. Management has no plans to provide funding for any plans in advance of when the benefits are paid.

The net periodic benefit cost for all of these plans were as follows:

Financial instruments consisting of cash and cash equivalents, net receivables, lines of credit and accounts payable are carried at cost, which approximates fair value as a result of the short-term nature of the instruments. The fair value of short-term investments is measured using multiple levels. Domestic debt securities categorized as level 1 in the fair value hierarchy include debt securities held in mutual funds and ETFs. Domestic debt securities categorized as level 2 include corporate bonds, mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities, U.S. Treasuries and high-yield securities. Foreign debt securities categorized as level 2 include foreign government or government related securities, corporate bonds, asset-backed securities and high-yield securities with a country of origin concentration outside the U.S.

Seaboard has a long-term investment in a financial services company that primarily lends to and invests in debt securities of privately held companies. This long-term investment is classified in “Other non-current assets” and is valued at net asset value (“NAV”), adjusted for specific liquidity factors, resulting in level 3 classification. The change in value for the first quarter of 2021 is related to equity market activity.

The fair value of Seaboard’s contingent consideration related to a 2018 acquisition was classified as a level 3 in the fair value hierarchy since the calculation is dependent upon projected company specific inputs using a Monte Carlo simulation. Seaboard remeasures the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration liability until settled with adjustments included in net earnings (loss). The change in value for the first quarter of 2021 was related to updated interest rates, foreign currency rates and estimated earnings before interest taxes depreciation amortization projections at the measurement date.

Seaboard’s operations are exposed to market risks from changes in commodity prices, foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices. Seaboard uses various commodity derivative futures and options to manage its risk of price fluctuations for raw materials and other inventories, finished product sales and firm sales commitments. Also, Seaboard enters into foreign currency exchange agreements to manage the foreign currency exchange rate risk with respect to certain transactions denominated in foreign currencies, interest rate swap agreements to manage the interest rate risk with respect

11

to certain variable rate long-term debt, and equity futures contracts to manage the equity price risk with respect to certain short-term investments. While management believes its derivatives are primarily economic hedges, Seaboard does not perform the extensive record-keeping required to account for these types of transactions as hedges for accounting purposes. These derivative contracts are recorded at fair value, with any changes in fair value recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. As the derivative contracts are not accounted for as hedges, fluctuations in the related prices or rates could have a material impact on earnings in any given reporting period. The nature of Seaboard’s market risk exposure has not changed materially since December 31, 2020.

Seaboard had the following aggregated outstanding notional amounts related to derivative financial instruments:

During mid-2020, Seaboard entered into interest rate swap agreements that mature in mid-2025. Seaboard pays fixed-rate interest payments at a weighted-average interest rate of 0.26% and receives variable-rate interest payments based on the one-month LIBOR from the counterparty without the exchange of the underlying notional amounts.

Credit risks associated with these derivative contracts are not significant as Seaboard minimizes counterparty exposure by dealing with credit-worthy counterparties and uses margin accounts for some contracts. At April 3, 2021, the maximum amount of credit risk, had the counterparties failed to perform according to the terms of the contract, was $10 million.

The following tables present Seaboard’s operating income (loss) and income (loss) from affiliates by segment. Operating income (loss) for segment reporting is prepared on the same basis as that used for consolidated operating income. Operating income (loss), along with income or loss from affiliates for the Pork, CT&M and Turkey segments, is used as the measure of evaluating segment performance because management does not consider interest, other investment income (loss) and income tax benefit (expense) on a segment basis. Administrative services provided by the corporate office are allocated to the individual segments and represent corporate services rendered to and costs incurred for each specific segment, with no allocation to individual segments of general corporate management oversight costs.

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

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Management believes Seaboard’s combination of internally generated cash, liquidity, capital resources and borrowing capabilities will be adequate for its existing operations and any currently known potential plans for expansion of existing operations. Management intends to continue seeking opportunities for expansion in the industries in which Seaboard operates, utilizing existing liquidity, available borrowing capacity and other financing alternatives. The terms and availability of such financing may be impacted by economic and financial market conditions, as well as Seaboard’s financial condition and results of operations at the time Seaboard seeks such financing, and there can be no assurances that Seaboard will be able to obtain such financing on terms that will be acceptable or advantageous.

Liquidity includes cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and availability under revolving credit facilities. As of April 3, 2021, Seaboard had cash and short-term investments of $1.4 billion and additional total net working capital of $979 million. Also, Seaboard had uncommitted lines of credit available totaling $398 million and committed lines of credit available totaling $350 million as of April 3, 2021.

As of April 3, 2021, $52 million of the $1.4 billion of cash and short-term investments were held by Seaboard’s foreign subsidiaries. Historically, Seaboard has considered substantially all foreign profits as being permanently invested in its foreign operations, including all cash and short-term investments held by foreign subsidiaries. Seaboard intends to continue permanently reinvesting the majority of these funds outside the U.S. as current plans do not demonstrate a need to repatriate them to fund Seaboard’s U.S. operations. For any planned repatriation to the U.S., Seaboard would record applicable deferred taxes for state or foreign withholding taxes.

Cash Flows

Cash and short-term investments as of April 3, 2021 decreased $92 million to $1.4 billion from December 31, 2020. The decrease was primarily the result of the liquidation of short-term investments for working capital needs. Cash from operating activities decreased $44 million for the three-month period of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 primarily due to uses of cash for working capital, partially offset by higher adjusted earnings.

During the three months ended April 3, 2021, Seaboard invested $96 million in property, plant and equipment, of which $78 million was in the Pork segment. The Pork segment expenditures were primarily for the construction of the renewable diesel plant in Hugoton, Kansas. For the remainder of 2021, management has budgeted capital expenditures totaling approximately $455 million. The Pork segment budgeted approximately $365 million primarily for modifications to convert the Hugoton, Kansas plant to a renewable diesel plant, with operations expected to begin in 2022, and other new investments, including a fuel storage and distribution facility and biogas recovery.

During the three months ended April 3, 2021, Seaboard repaid foreign subsidiary debt related to a 2018 acquisition of $46 million upon its maturity. The primary debt outstanding is a Term Loan due in 2028 with a balance of $683 million as of April 3, 2021.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net sales for the three-month period of 2021 increased $376 million over the same period in 2020. The increase primarily reflected higher sales prices and volumes of certain commodities in the CT&M segment, higher prices for pork products, market hogs and biodiesel sold in the Pork segment and higher cargo volumes in the Marine segment.

Operating income increased $29 million for the three-month period of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020. The increase primarily reflected higher margins on pork product sales in the Pork segment and higher cargo sales and lower fuel and other voyage costs in the Marine segment, partially offset by derivative contract losses in the CT&M segment.

Seaboard’s operations have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic; however, Seaboard has seen improvements in its financial results since the most dramatic impact in the second quarter of 2020 when the onset of the pandemic began. Seaboard continues to encounter challenges with labor and has partially-staffed shifts; impacts from commodity market volatility; and certain product sales not yet at pre-COVID levels. The near and long-term impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on Seaboard’s operations and the global economy are unknown and impossible to predict with any level of certainty. Other than capital market volatility on short-term investments, the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic were not significant on a consolidated or segment basis to Seaboard’s first quarter results of prior year.

Net sales for the Pork segment increased $110 million for the three-month period of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020. The increase was primarily the result of higher prices of pork products, market hogs and biodiesel sold.

Operating income for the Pork segment increased $29 million for the three-month period of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020. The increase was primarily due to higher margins on pork product sales and market hogs, partially offset by higher costs for feed. Management is unable to predict market prices for pork products, the cost of feed or third-party hogs or the prices of biodiesel or the ongoing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic for future periods; however, management anticipates this segment will be profitable for the remainder of 2021. The uncertainties and the volatility of the commodity grain markets could have a significant impact on profitability.

Net sales for the CT&M segment increased $237 million for the three-month period of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020. The increase primarily reflected higher sales prices and volumes of certain commodities to third-party customers and, to a lesser extent, higher commodity prices to affiliates, partially offset by lower volumes to affiliates.

Operating income for this segment decreased $14 million for the three-month period of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020. The decrease primarily reflected derivative contract losses related to mark-to-market adjustments, partially offset by higher margins on third-party sales. Due to worldwide commodity price fluctuations, the uncertain political and economic conditions in the countries in which this segment operates, the volatility in the commodity markets and the ongoing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, management is unable to predict sales and operating results for this segment for future periods. However, management anticipates positive operating income for this segment for the remainder of 2021, excluding the effects of marking to market derivative contracts.

Had Seaboard not applied mark-to-market accounting to its derivative instruments, operating income for this segment would have been higher by $11 million and lower by $5 million for the three-month period of 2021 and 2020, respectively. While management believes its commodity futures, options and foreign exchange contracts are primarily economic hedges of its firm purchase and sales contracts and anticipated sales contracts, Seaboard does not perform the extensive record-keeping required to account for these transactions as hedges for accounting purposes. Accordingly, while the changes in value of the derivative instruments were marked to market, the changes in value of the firm purchase or sales contracts were not. As products are delivered to customers, these existing mark-to-market adjustments should be primarily offset by realized margins or losses as revenue is recognized over time, and these mark-to-market adjustments could reverse in 2021. Management believes eliminating these mark-to-market adjustments provides a more reasonable presentation to compare and evaluate period-to-period financial results for this segment.

Net sales for the Marine segment increased $31 million for the three-month period of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020. The increase was primarily the result of higher cargo volumes.

Operating income for this segment increased $27 million for the three-month period of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020. The increase was primarily the result of higher sales and lower fuel costs, partially offset by higher terminal and intermodal trucking costs related to the increase in cargo volumes. Management cannot predict changes in fuel costs or other voyage costs, including charter hire costs, cargo volumes and cargo rates, or the ongoing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic for future periods; however, management anticipates this segment will be profitable for the remainder of 2021.

Net sales for the Sugar and Alcohol segment increased $4 million for the three-month period of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020. The increase primarily reflected higher volumes of sugar and alcohol sold, partially offset by lower prices of sugar and alcohol. Sugar and alcohol sales are denominated in Argentine pesos, and an increase in local sales prices may be offset by exchange rate changes in the Argentine peso against the U.S. dollar.

Operating income for the Sugar and Alcohol segment increased $2 million for the three-month period of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020. The increase primarily reflected higher margins on alcohol due to lower production costs, partially offset by lower margins on sugar due to higher production costs and lower prices. Management cannot predict local sugar and alcohol prices, the volatility in the currency exchange rate or the ongoing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic for future periods. Based on these conditions, management cannot predict if this segment will be profitable for the remainder of 2021.

Net sales for the Power segment decreased $4 million for the three-month period of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020. The decrease reflected lower power generation, partially offset by higher spot market rates as a result of higher fuel prices. Dispatch to the local power grid is done on the basis of a merit list with lower cost power plants dispatched before those with higher costs.

Operating income for the Power segment decreased $4 million for the three-month period of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020. The decrease was primarily due to lower revenues. Management cannot predict fuel costs, the extent that spot market rates will fluctuate compared to fuel costs or other power producers, or the ongoing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic for future periods. Based on these conditions and plans for the interconnection of the existing barge at a new site related to the arrival of the new barge, management expects this segment will not be profitable for the remainder of 2021. The new barge arrived in early May 2021 and testing and commissioning has commenced. Commercial operations

for the new barge are anticipated to begin later this year and management continues to explore strategic alternatives for the existing barge, including selling or relocating.

The Turkey segment, accounted for using the equity method, represents Seaboard’s investment in Butterball, LLC. The decrease in loss from affiliates for the three-month period of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 was primarily the result of lower interest costs, partially offset by higher feed and plant production costs. Sales volumes increased, and to a lesser extent, prices, though the decrease in value-added product sales contributed to a weaker sales mix with lower margins. Management is unable to predict market prices for turkey products, the cost of feed or the ongoing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic for future periods. Based on these conditions, management cannot predict if this segment will be profitable for the remainder of 2021. The uncertainties and the volatility of the commodity grain markets could have a significant impact on profitability.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses increased $14 million for the three-month period of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 primarily as a result of higher costs related to Seaboard’s deferred compensation program. The deferred compensation program costs are offset by the effect of the mark-to-market on investments recorded in other investment income (loss).

Interest Expense

Interest expense decreased $15 million for the three-month period of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 primarily related to lower interest rates on outstanding debt and mark-to-market fluctuations on interest rate swap agreements.

Other investment income (loss), net increased $296 million for the three-month period of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 primarily due to mark-to-market fluctuations on short-term investments.

Foreign Currency Gains (Losses), Net

Foreign currency gains (losses), net increased $20 million for the three-month period of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 primarily due to fluctuations in the South African rand and the euro among fluctuations of other currency exchange rates in several foreign countries.

Income Tax Benefit (Expense)

The effective tax rate for the three-month period of 2021 was lower than the three-month period of 2020 primarily due to pre-tax income in 2021 versus pre-tax loss in 2020 and the associated impact from tax credits. Tax credits decrease the income tax expense in a pre-tax income year resulting in a lower effective tax rate and increase the income tax benefit in a pre-tax loss year resulting in a higher effective tax rate.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Seaboard is exposed to various types of market risks in its day-to-day operations. Primary market risk exposures result from changing commodity prices, foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices. Occasionally, Seaboard utilizes derivative instruments to manage these overall market risks. The nature of Seaboard’s market risk exposure related to these items has not changed materially since December 31, 2020. See Note 6 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures — Seaboard’s management evaluated, under the direction of the Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officers, the effectiveness of Seaboard’s disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) as of April 3, 2021. Based upon and as of the date of that evaluation, Seaboard’s Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officers concluded that Seaboard’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports it files and submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed,

19

summarized and reported as and when required. It should be noted that any system of disclosure controls and procedures, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system are met. In addition, the design of any system of disclosure controls and procedures is based in part upon assumptions about the likelihood of future events. Due to these and other inherent limitations of any such system, there can be no assurance that any design will always succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

Change in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting — There have been no changes in Seaboard’s internal control over financial reporting required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f) that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended April 3, 2021 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, Seaboard’s internal control over financial reporting.

PREAMBLE

The Seaboard Marine Pension Plan, as a result of the transfer of assets and liabilities from predecessor plans as described herein, provides benefits for certain deferred vested or retired Participants who were participants under plans that previously were frozen and merged into the Seaboard Corporation Pension Plan.  Accordingly, certain optional forms of benefits are applicable to these Participants that were offered under the provisions of their respective pension plans prior to the merger of such plans into the Seaboard Corporation Pension Plan and the subsequent transfer of certain assets and liabilities attributable to these Participants to this Plan.  These benefits are set forth in appendices to this Plan.  The names of such previous plans and the corresponding appendix for each plan containing the supplemental benefit provisions applicable to the retirees or deferred vested terminated Participants who were participants in each such previous plan and to the extent the assets and liabilities attributable to such retirees or deferred vested terminated Participants are transferred to this Plan, are as follows:

The intent of the Company is to protect and preserve the Participant benefits entitled to protection under Section 411(d)(6) of the Internal Revenue Code and Treasury Regulations thereunder.  Therefore, this document shall be construed and administered accordingly and, where required by law but not otherwise provided herein, appropriate provisions of prior plans are incorporated herein by this reference as necessary to protect and preserve such Participant benefits.

Both the Seaboard Corporation Pension Plan, from which assets and liabilities have been transferred to this Plan, and the Seaboard Defined Benefit Pension Plan, which was a predecessor plan merged into the Seaboard Corporation Pension Plan (together the "Predecessor Plans") were amended effective January 1, 2014 to freeze participation in the Predecessor Plans such that no otherwise Eligible Employee shall be eligible to participate in this Plan.  All individuals who were both Eligible Employees and Participants in one of the Predecessor Plans on January 1, 2014, and who had their associated assets and liabilities transferred to this Plan shall continue to participate in this Plan and accrue benefits hereunder.

Effective as of January 1, 2021 (the "Plan Effective Date"), the Plan is established upon the spin-off from the Seaboard Corporation Pension Plan of specified assets and liabilities into this Plan by direct trust-to-trust transfer as of the Plan Effective Date.  This Plan is, as compared to the Seaboard Corporation Pension Plan, identical in all material respects with respect to eligibility, benefit accrual, vesting and distribution provisions applicable to Participants.  The Plan shall recognize a Participant's service with Seaboard Corporation and Affiliated Employers (as defined in the Seaboard Corporation Pension Plan) as of December 31, 2020, for all eligibility, benefit accrual, vesting and distribution purposes under the terms of the Plan, it being acknowledged that the Predecessor Plans were frozen to new participants effective as of January 1, 2014.

Effective as of the Plan Effective Date, the assets and liabilities of the Seaboard Corporation Pension Plan were spun off and deposited into the Trust Fund for the Plan in accordance with Section 414(l) of the Code.  Each active or inactive Participant's termination benefit in the Plan shall be equal to or greater than the benefit the Participant would have been entitled to in the Seaboard Corporation Pension Plan; provided that no duplication or expansion of benefits of any Participant in this Plan shall occur as a result of the spin-off of assets and liabilities from the Seaboard Corporation Pension Plan into this Plan.  If an active or inactive Participant, or a spouse, beneficiary or an alternate payee under a qualified domestic relations order is entitled to a benefit under this Plan, they will not be entitled to a benefit under the Seaboard Corporation Pension Plan and vice versa.

ARTICLE I. DEFINITIONS

As used in this Plan --

"Accrued Benefit" means, the sum of (i) plus (ii), plus (iii), where:

(i)is a Participant's frozen retirement benefit payable to the Participant at his Normal Retirement Date, under the appropriate Appendix to this Plan, as of December 31, 1993 or an earlier date, computed as an Actuarial Equivalent of the normal form of retirement benefit for this Plan, as defined in section 4.1 (i.e., a single life annuity);

(ii)is the retirement benefit accrued on and after January 1, 1994, computed under section 4.1(b), payable to the Participant at his Normal Retirement Date in the normal form of retirement benefit for this Plan; and

(iii)is the retirement benefit accrued on and after January 1, 1994, computed under section 4.1(c), payable to the Participant at his Normal Retirement Date in the normal form of retirement benefit for this Plan.

"Actuarial (or Actuarially) Equivalent" means, a form of benefit differing in time, period or manner of payment from a specific Pension provided under the Plan but having equivalent value when computed, for Annuity Starting Dates before July 29, 2016, using an interest rate of 8% per year compounded annually and the 1983 Group Annuity Mortality Table.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Participant's Actuarial Equivalent Benefit calculated hereunder be less than such benefit calculated under the Seaboard Corporation Pension Plan as of December 31, 1993.

For Annuity Starting Dates on or after July 29, 2016, the above-referenced assumptions shall be replaced by the following assumptions in this paragraph, provided that any amount determined in accordance with this paragraph shall not be less than the amount determined under the previous paragraph with respect to the Participant's Accrued Benefit as of the earlier of the Participant's termination of employment or July 29, 2016.

·

Interest:  The "applicable interest rate" as defined in Section 417(e)(3) of the Code, as amended by the Pension Protection Act of 2006, for the month of November preceding the Plan Year in which the Member's distribution commences.

·

Mortality:  The mortality table prescribed by the Secretary of Treasury in accordance with Section 417(e)(3) of the Code for the Plan Year in which the Participant's distribution commences.

"Actuarial Value" means the lump sum equivalent value of a Participant's Accrued Benefit, as certified by the Actuary, using:  (a) the 1983 Group Annuity Mortality Tables with a fixed blend of 50% of the male mortality rates and 50% of the female mortality rates; and (b) the annual interest rate on 30-year Treasury securities as specified by the Commissioner for the

5


month of November preceding the Plan Year in which the Participant's Annuity Starting Date occurs.

Effective for distributions with Annuity Starting Dates on or after December 31, 2002, notwithstanding any other Plan provisions to the contrary (except the following paragraph) the applicable mortality table used for purposes of adjusting any benefit or limitation under Code § 415(b)(2)(B), (C) or (D) as set forth in Section 13.1 and the applicable mortality table used for purposes of satisfying the requirements of Code § 417(e) as set forth in this definition of Actuarial Value is the table prescribed in Revenue Ruling 2001-62.

Effective for distributions with Annuity Starting Dates on or after January 1, 2008, the applicable interest rate and the applicable mortality table for purposes of satisfying the requirements of Code § 417(e) as set forth in this definition of Actuarial Value are as follows:

Interest The interest rate determined based upon the adjusted first, second and third segment rates applied under rules similar to the rules of Code § 430(h)(2)(C) for the month of November preceding the Plan Year in which the Participant's distribution commences.  For this purpose, the adjusted first, second and third segment rates are the first, second and third segment rates which would be determined under Code § 430(h)(2)(C) if:

(i)Code § 430(h)(2)(D) were applied by substituting the average yields for the month described in (ii) below for the average yields for the 24-month period described in Code § 430(h)(2)(D),

(ii)Code § 430(h)(2)(G)(i)(II) were applied by substituting "Code § 417(e)(3)(A)(ii)(II)" for "Code § 412(b)(5)(B)(ii)(II)"; and

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the lump sum equivalent value of a Participant's Accrued Benefit shall not be less than the lump sum equivalent value of the Participant's Accrued Benefit as of December 31, 1995, under the Seaboard Corporation Pension Plan calculated using the Group Annuity Mortality Table described in the definition of Actuarial (or Actuarially) Equivalent, above, and an interest rate of 8%, and based on the Participant's age at the Annuity Starting Date.

Effective for distributions with Annuity Starting Dates on or after June 1, 2004, having a payment form that is either (a) the Social Security adjustment form of payment (provided under Appendix A, Appendix C and Appendix D of the Plan), or (b) the special optional form of payment (provided under Appendix A, Appendix C and Appendix D of the Plan) if the special optional form of payment is a decreasing annuity other than a decreasing annuity that decreases because Social Security supplements or qualified disability benefits (as defined in Code § 411(a)(9)) cease or are reduced, the payments shall not be less than determined using the interest rate and mortality table used for purposes of satisfying the requirements of Code § 417(e) as set forth above in this definition of Actuarial Value.

"Actuary" means the individual actuary or firm of actuaries selected by the Employer to provide actuarial services in connection with the administration of the Plan.

21


Participant received Earnings.  If a Participant does not receive Earnings during a minimum of 60 whole months, Final Average Earnings shall be determined based upon the Participant's average monthly earnings for all months.

"Years of Accrual Service" shall mean the aggregate of a Participant's Years of Accrual Service and Partial Years of Accrual Service.  A Participant will receive credit for a Year of Accrual Service for each Plan Year commencing on or after January 1, 1994 during which the Participant completes at least 2000 Hours of Service with the Employer as an Eligible Employee.  A Participant will receive credit for a Partial Year of Accrual Service for each Plan Year commencing on or after January 1, 1994 during which the Participant completes at least 1000 Hours of Service, but less than 2000 Hours of Service, with the Employer as an Eligible Employee.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Participant fails to complete 2000 Hours of Service in his final year of employment with the Employer he may receive credit for a Partial Year of Accrual Service even if he has not completed 1000 Hours of Service.  A Partial Year of Accrual Service for purposes of this paragraph is a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Hours of Service the Participant has completed during the Plan Year as an Eligible Employee and the denominator of which is 2000.  A Participant will not receive credit for more than 35 Years of Accrual Service.  Notwithstanding any provision hereunder to the contrary, a Participant shall not be credited with any Years of Accrual Service during the period from January 1, 1994 through January 1, 1997, if such Participant was accruing benefits under either the Seaboard Corporation Executive Retirement Plan or the Seaboard Farms Executive Retirement Plan during that same period.  Years of Accrual Service shall also include Hours of Service during a period of qualified military service, as described in section 2.5, and subject to the conditions described in section 2.5.

23


(a)If a retired Participant whose benefits are in pay status is reemployed in an employment classification in which he will be credited with less than one thousand (1,000) Hours of Service in each Plan Year (during which he is employed during the entire Plan Year), his Pension payments shall continue without interruption and the retired Participant shall earn no additional benefits for the period of his reemployment.  If the retired Participant should die during such a period of reemployment, his Spouse or Beneficiary shall be entitled to any survivor's income or other death benefits provided under the form of payment elected by the Participant at the time of his earlier retirement (with, if applicable, the consent of his Spouse).

24


ARTICLE V. MANNER OF PAYMENT AND DEATH BENEFITS

5.1Automatic Form for Married Participants.  If a Participant is married on the date his Pension payments commence, then subject to the provisions of section 5.4 his Pension shall be paid in the form of a 50% joint and survivor Pension commencing immediately.  Under this joint and survivor Pension, a monthly annuity shall be paid to the Participant for his lifetime, and his Eligible Spouse, if surviving at the Participant's death, shall be entitled to receive thereafter a lifetime annuity in a monthly amount equal to 50% of the monthly amount which had been payable to the Participant.  The amount payable to the Participant shall be determined so that the aggregate of the Pension payments expected to be made to the Participant and his Eligible Spouse shall be the Actuarial Equivalent of the Pension determined under section 4.1.

5.2Automatic Form For Unmarried Participants.  If a Participant is not married on the date his Pension payments commence, then unless he elects an optional form of benefit under section 5.3, his Pension will be paid in the form of a single life annuity which shall be the Actuarial Equivalent of the Pension determined under section 4.1.

5.3Optional Forms of Benefit.  Subject to the requirements of section 5.4, a Participant can elect that his Pension be paid in one of the following forms in lieu of the form otherwise specified in sections 5.1 or 5.2 (whichever applicable):

(a)A married Participant may elect to receive his Pension in the form of joint and survivor Pension, with a life annuity payable no less frequently than annually for the life of the Participant and with a survivor annuity payable no less frequently than annually for the remaining life of the Participant's spouse which survivor annuity is either 75% or 100% of the annuity payable during the Participant's life.

(b)A married or unmarried Participant may elect to receive his Pension in the form of a single life annuity, payable no less frequently than annually.

(c)A married or unmarried Participant may elect to receive his Pension in the form of a single life annuity, payable no less frequently than annually, with a term certain of 10 years guaranteed.

(d)A married or unmarried Participant may elect to receive his Pension in the form of a lump sum that is the Actuarial Value of the Participant's nonforfeitable Accrued Benefit if the monthly benefit the Participant would otherwise receive under sections 5.1 or 5.2 (whichever is applicable) would be less than $75.00.  The lump sum payment under this section 5.3(d) is an optional form of benefit the Participant may elect upon the Participant's Annuity Starting Date; provided, however, that on and before the Participant's Annuity Starting Date, the Participant's nonforfeitable Accrued Benefit remains subject to the lump sum payment provisions of section 5.7.

Benefits paid under any of the foregoing options will be the Actuarial Equivalent of the Participant's Pension determined under section 4.1.

25


5.4Election of Optional Forms of Benefit and Retroactive Annuity Starting Dates.

(a)Written Explanation of 50% Joint and Survivor Pension and Optional Forms -- Effective January 1, 2007, not earlier than 180 days, but not later than 30 days, before a married Participant's Annuity Starting Date, the Committee shall furnish to the Participant: (i) a written general description of the 50% joint and survivor Pension; (ii) the circumstances under which the Plan will provide the 50% joint and survivor Pension; (iii) the material features of and the relative values of the optional forms of benefit; (iv) the availability of the election to waive the 50% joint and survivor Pension; (v) the rights of the Participant's Eligible Spouse; (vi) the right to revoke such an election; (vii) the effect of such revocation; and (viii) the Participant's right to defer the commencement of benefits to the Participant's Normal Retirement Date and the consequences of the failure to do so.

(b)Waiver of 50% Joint and Survivor Pension -- A Participant may make an election to waive payment in the form of a 50% joint and survivor Pension under section 5.1 at any time within the election period.  Effective January 1, 2007 the applicable election period shall be the 180-day period ending on the Annuity Starting Date.  A Participant may revoke an election under this section 5.4(b) and make a new election at any time within the election period.  A Participant's waiver election is not valid unless the Participant makes the waiver election within the election period and the Participant's Eligible Spouse has consented in writing to the waiver election, such election designates a beneficiary or a form of benefits which may not be changed without the consent of the Eligible Spouse (or the consent of the Eligible Spouse expressly permits designations by the Participant without any requirement of further consent by the Eligible Spouse), the Eligible Spouse's consent acknowledges the effect of the election, and a notary public or a member of the Committee witnesses the Eligible Spouse's consent.  The Participant's Eligible Spouse's consent to a waiver of the 50% joint and survivor Pension shall be irrevocable.  The Committee may accept as valid a waiver election which does not satisfy the spousal consent requirements hereunder if either the form of benefit elected by the Participant is described in section 5.3(a), the Committee establishes that the Participant does not have an Eligible Spouse, the Committee is not able to locate the Participant's Eligible Spouse, or other circumstances exist under which the Secretary of the Treasury will excuse the consent requirement.

(c)Commencement of Pension Less than 30 days After Explanation -- Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Participant may elect to begin receiving his Pension less than 30 days after receiving the written explanation described in section 5.4(a) if (i) the Participant has been informed in writing that he has at least 30 days to consider whether to waive the 50% joint and survivor Pension and elect (with spousal consent) an optional form of benefit, (ii) the Participant is permitted to revoke any affirmative election until the later of the Annuity Starting Date or the expiration of the 7-day period that begins the day after the written explanation described in section 5.4(a) is provided to the Participant, and (iii) the distributions do not commence until after the written explanation is provided.

26


(d)Retroactive Annuity Starting Date Notwithstanding any provision in this section 5.4 to the contrary, a Participant who has attained age 62 may elect an Annuity Starting Date that is prior to the date the Participant receives the written explanation described in section 5.4(a) and prior to the date the Participant files an election to commence distribution of his Pension if (i) the Annuity Starting Date is the date the Participant attained age 62 or the first day of the month after his or her termination of employment, if later, (ii) the Participant was entitled to receive his Pension as of such Annuity Starting Date in accordance with Article IV, and (iii) the Participant does not actually receive any distribution until at least 30 days after the Participant has received the written explanation described in section 5.4(a) unless the Participant waives the 30-day period in accordance with section 5.4(c).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Participant may not elect a retroactive Annuity Starting Date with respect to a lump sum distribution under section 5.3(d).  If a Participant elects a retroactive Annuity Starting Date, the amount of the Participant's Pension payments will be determined as of the retroactive Annuity Starting Date in accordance with the Plan provisions as in effect as of that date.  The Participant's Pension payments will commence as soon as administratively practicable subsequent to his election of a retroactive Annuity Starting Date subject to the satisfaction of section 5.4(b) and, if applicable, section 5.4(c).  The Participant will receive a lump sum payment equal to the sum of (i) the aggregate amount of the Pension payments that would have been made prior to the date of the Participant's election of a retroactive Annuity Starting Date had the Participant made his election prior to the retroactive Annuity Starting Date, and (ii) interest on such aggregate amount computed as simple interest at the interest rate or rates applicable under the definition of Actuarial Value in Article I during the period such payments described in (i) of this sentence would have been made.  In addition to the spousal consent requirements of section 5.4(b), a Participant's Eligible Spouse must consent to the Participant's election of a retroactive Annuity Starting Date in accordance with section 5.4(b) if the monthly amount of the survivor pension payable to the Participant's Eligible Spouse pursuant to such election will be less than the amount that would be payable to the Participant's Eligible Spouse under a 50% joint and survivor pension commencing as of the date of such election (rather than as of the retroactive Annuity Starting Date).  For purposes of the preceding sentence the Participant's Eligible Spouse will be determined as of the date of the Participant's election of a retroactive Annuity Starting Date.

5.5Spouse's Death Benefit.

(a)A Participant who dies before the Annuity Starting Date and who is survived by an Eligible Spouse shall have his death benefit paid to his surviving Eligible Spouse in the form of a pre-retirement survivor annuity.  In the case of a Participant who dies after the earliest retirement age under the Plan, the annuity payments paid to the Eligible Spouse shall be equal to the amount which would be payable to the Eligible Spouse had the Participant retired on the date before the Participant's date of death and elected to receive his Pension in the form of a 100% joint and survivor annuity.  In the case of a Participant who dies on or before the earliest retirement age under the Plan, the annuity payments paid to the Eligible Spouse shall be the amount which would be payable

27


to the Eligible Spouse had the Participant separated from service on the date of his death, survived to the earliest retirement age under the Plan, elected to receive his Pension in the form of a 100% joint and survivor annuity at his earliest retirement age, and died on the day after the day on which the Participant would have attained the earliest retirement age under the Plan.  The "earliest retirement age under the Plan" is the earliest date on which the Plan permits the Participant to elect to receive retirement benefits.  For purposes of determining the amount of the pre-retirement survivor annuity, only the Participant's nonforfeitable Pension shall be taken into account.  This Spouse Death Benefit shall apply even if the Participant's death occurs while in qualified military service, provided the Participant's reemployment rights are guaranteed by federal veteran's reemployment rights laws at the time of his death.  Furthermore, the deceased Participant's deemed Compensation and deemed Credited Service while in qualified military service, as defined in Code Section 414(u)(5) shall be included in the determination of any Spouse's death benefit which is payable hereunder because the Participant died while in qualified military service.

The Participant's Eligible Spouse may direct that payment of the pre-retirement survivor annuity commence no later than the month in which the Participant would have attained the earliest retirement age under the Plan.  If the Eligible Spouse does not so direct, payment of such benefit will commence at the time the Participant would have attained his Normal Retirement Age.  If commencement of payment of the pre-retirement survivor annuity is on a date other than the later of the day after the Participant's earliest retirement age under the Plan or the date of the Participant's death, then the annuity amount payable to the Eligible Spouse shall be the Actuarial Equivalent of the annuity amount determined hereunder on the later of the day after the Participant's earliest retirement age under the Plan or the date of the Participant's death.

(b)If the Actuarial Value of the pre-retirement survivor annuity is determined to be $5,000 (or such other amount allowed in accordance with section 411(a)(11) of the Code) or less, then the Committee shall direct the immediate distribution of such amount in the form of a lump sum distribution to Participant's Eligible Spouse.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the amount of such distribution under this Section 5.5(b) is greater than $1,000 and the Eligible Spouse does not elect to have such distribution paid directly to an eligible retirement plan specified by the Eligible Spouse in a direct rollover or to receive the distribution directly, then the plan administrator will pay the distribution in a direct rollover to an individual retirement plan designated by the Committee.

5.6Other Death Benefit.  Upon the death after the Annuity Starting Date of a Participant who has a nonforfeitable Accrued Benefit, his beneficiary, if any, under the applicable benefit payment form shall receive the benefits payable under such form.

5.7Lump Sum Payments On or Before Annuity Starting Date for Small Amounts.  The provisions of this section 5.7 apply notwithstanding any provisions hereunder to the contrary.  Lump sum payments under this section 5.7 are not subject to the waiver and consent requirements of section 5.4.

28


(a)Mandatory Lump Sum Payment:  If upon or following a Participant's termination of employment and not later than the Participant's Annuity Starting Date the Actuarial Value of the Participant's nonforfeitable Accrued Benefit is determined to be $5,000 (or such other amount allowed in accordance with section 411(a)(11) of the Code) or less, then the Participant's nonforfeitable Accrued Benefit will be paid in the form of a lump sum payment to the Participant as soon as administratively feasible after such determination.

(b)Optional Lump Sum Payment:  In the event of a mandatory distribution greater than $1,000 to Participant in accordance with the provisions of section 5.7(a), if the Participant does not elect to have such distribution paid directly to an eligible retirement plan specified by the Participant in a direct rollover or to receive the distribution directly, then the plan administrator will pay the distribution in a direct rollover to an individual retirement plan designated by the plan administrator.

5.8Special Distribution Rules.  Notwithstanding any provision in this Plan to the contrary, all distributions under the Plan shall be made in accordance with Article XV.  Distribution of a Participant's Accrued Benefit shall begin not later than the 60th day after the last day of the Plan Year in which the latest of the following events occurs:  (a) the date on which the Participant attains age 65; (b) the 10th anniversary of the year in which the Participant commenced participation in the Plan; or (c) the date the Participant terminates his service with the Employer.  The preceding sentence is subject to the Participant's consent to a later beginning date for distribution and subject to other Plan provisions governing the permitted or required distribution beginning date.

5.9Nonduplication of Benefits.  If a former Participant again becomes a Participant, such renewed participation shall not result in duplication of benefits.  Accordingly, if he has received a distribution of an Accrued Benefit under the Plan by reason of prior participation (and such distribution has not been repaid to the Plan with interest within a period of the earlier of 5 years after the first date on which the Participant is subsequently reemployed by the Employer or the close of the first period of 5 consecutive 1-year breaks in service commencing after the distribution), his Accrued Benefit shall be reduced by the Actuarial Equivalent (at the date of distribution) of the present value of the Accrued Benefit as of the date of distribution.  Any repayment by a Participant shall be equal to the sum of:

(a)the amount of the distribution; and

(b)interest compounded annually at the rate of 120 percent of the federal mid-term rate (as in effect under Code §1274 from the first month beginning after the date of distribution to the date of repayment.

5.10Direct Rollover of Eligible Rollover Distributions.  A Participant may elect, at the time and in the manner prescribed by the Committee, to have any portion of his eligible rollover distribution paid directly to an eligible retirement plan specified by the Participant in a direct rollover designation.  For purposes of this section 5.10, a Participant includes a Participant's

29


surviving spouse and the Participant's spouse or former spouse who is an alternate payee under a qualified domestic relations order.

The following definitions apply to this section 5.10:

(a)Eligible rollover distribution -- "Eligible rollover distribution" means any distribution of all or any portion of the balance to the credit of the Participant, except an eligible rollover distribution does not include: any distribution which is one of a series of substantially equal periodic payments (not less frequently than annually) made for the life (or life expectancy) of the Participant or joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the Participant and the Participant's designated beneficiary, or for a specified period of ten years or more; any distribution to the extent required under Code §401(a)(9); and the portion of any distribution which is not includible in gross income (determined without regard to the exclusion of net unrealized appreciation with respect to employer securities).

(b)Eligible retirement plan -- "Eligible retirement plan" means an individual retirement account described in Code §408(a) (including a Roth IRA described in Code §408A), an individual retirement annuity described in Code §408(b), an annuity plan described in Code §403(a), or a qualified trust described in Code §401(a), which accepts the Participant's eligible rollover distribution.  An eligible retirement plan shall also mean an annuity contract described in Code §403(b) and an eligible plan under Code §457(b) which is maintained by a state, political subdivision of a state, or any agency or instrumentality of a state or political subdivision of a state and which agrees to separately account for amounts transferred into such plan from this Plan.  This definition of eligible retirement plan applies not only in the case of an eligible rollover distribution to the Participant, but also in the case of an eligible rollover distribution to a surviving spouse or to a former spouse who is the alternate payee under a qualified domestic relations order, as defined in Code §414(p).  An "Eligible Retirement Plan" shall also include an otherwise eligible rollover death benefit payment on behalf of a non-spouse beneficiary to a traditional inherited individual retirement account, as defined in Code Section 408(d)(3)(C).

(c)Direct rollover -- "Direct rollover" means a payment by the Plan to the eligible retirement plan specified by the Participant, or, if applicable, the Participant's surviving spouse or former spouse who is the alternate payee under a qualified domestic relations order, as defined in Code §414(p).

5.11Death Benefits under USERRA-Qualified Active Military Service.  In the event a Participant dies on or after January 1, 2007 while performing "qualified military service" as such term is defined in Code section 414(u), the survivors of the Participant shall be entitled to any additional benefits (other than benefit accruals relating to the period of qualified military service) that would be provided under the Plan had the Participant resumed employment with the Employer and then terminated employment on account of death.

30

In the case of any payment before a Participant has separated from service, the payment may be made to an alternate payee on or after the date the Participant attains his earliest retirement age.  Earliest retirement age for this purpose means the earlier of (i) the date on which the Participant is entitled to a distribution under the Plan, or (ii) on the later of age 50, or the earliest date on which the Participant could begin receiving, benefits under the Plan if he terminated his employment.

35


For purposes of Article V, the Retirement Committee will treat a former spouse as the Participant's spouse or surviving spouse to the extent provided under a qualified domestic relations order.  The joint and survivor annuity requirements of Article V apply separately to the portion of the Participant's vested Accrued Benefit subject to the qualified domestic relations order and to the portion of the Participant's vested Accrued Benefit not subject to the order.

The Trustee shall make any payments or distributions required under this section 8.4 by separate benefit checks or other separate distribution to the alternate payee.

8.5Exclusions and Separability.  Each provision hereof shall be independent of each other provision hereof and if any provision of this Plan proves to be, or is held by any court, tribunal, board or authority of competent jurisdiction to be void or invalid as to any Participant or group of Participants, such provisions shall be disregarded and shall be deemed to be null and void and no part of this Plan; but such invalidation of any such provision shall not otherwise impair or affect this Plan or any of the other provisions or terms hereof.

8.6Restrictions of Benefits Payable to Highly Compensated Participants.  This section sets forth limitations required by the Internal Revenue Service on the Pension benefits payable to certain Participants effective for Plan Years commencing on or after January 1, 1994.  The Plan limits the benefit payable to any Highly Compensated Employee and any Highly Compensated former Employee upon Plan termination to a benefit that is nondiscriminatory under Code §401(a)(4).  Prior to Plan termination the annual Pension payable to or on behalf of a Participant who is among the twenty-five (25) highest paid Highly Compensated Employees or Highly Compensated former Employees shall be limited to an amount equal to: (a) the annual Pension that would have been payable to the Participant in the form of a single life annuity; and (b) the amount of the payment the Participant would receive under a social security supplement.  This limitation shall not apply in the event that (i) the value of Plan assets is at least equal to 110% of the value of current liabilities (as defined in Code §412(l)(7)) or (ii) the value of benefits (including death benefits payable on behalf of such Participant is less than 1% of the value of current liabilities (as defined in Code §412(l)(7)).

The limitations in this section 8.6 shall automatically become inoperative and of no effect upon a ruling by the Internal Revenue Service that they are not required.

For purposes of this section 8.6, a Highly Compensated Employee shall mean a highly compensated employee under Code §414(q).

8.7Laws Governing.  Except to the extent preempted by Title I of ERISA, as from time to time amended, the laws of the State of Kansas shall govern, control and determine all questions arising with respect to this Plan and the interpretation and validity of its provisions.

8.8Construction.  Wherever appropriate, words used in the singular shall include the plural, the plural shall include the singular, and the masculine shall include the feminine.

36


8.9Plan in Effect at Termination of Employment Controls.  Unless expressly indicated otherwise, any amendment to this Plan shall not apply to any Participant who has terminated employment prior to the effective date of such amendment.

8.10Benefit Restrictions Under Code Section 436.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, the following benefit restrictions shall apply if the Plan's "Adjusted Funded Target Attainment Percentage", as defined in Code Section 436(j) and herein referred to as the Plan's "AFTAP", is certified by the Plan's Actuary or is presumed under section 8.10(d) hereof to either (i) be less than eighty percent (80%), but not less than sixty percent (60%), or (ii) be less than sixty percent (60%):

(a)If the Plan's actual or presumed AFTAP is either (i) less than eighty percent (80%), but not less than sixty percent (60%), or (ii) would be less than eighty percent (80%), but not less than sixty percent (60%) taking a Plan amendment increasing benefits into consideration, the following benefit restrictions shall apply:

(i)No Plan amendment which increases Plan benefits, establishes new benefits, changes the rate of benefit accruals or the rate at which benefits become nonforfeitable shall take effect; and

(ii)Except for the lump sum payment of a Participant's entire benefit which is not more than five thousand dollars ($5,000) under this Plan, no lump sum benefit payment shall be made in excess of an amount equal to the lesser of:

(A)Fifty percent (50%) of the lump sum payment that would otherwise be made without regard to this benefit restriction; or

(B)The present value (determined under guidance prescribed by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation, using the interest and mortality assumptions in Code Section 417(e)) of the maximum guarantee with respect to the Participant under Section 4022 of ERISA; and

(C)Provided further that:

(1)a restricted Participant's remaining unrestricted benefit may be paid in the form of a single life annuity or any Actuarial Equivalent, as defined in Article I hereof, optional form of payment;

(2)only one partial lump sum payment, as described in this section 8.10(a)(ii) may be made during any period when the benefit restrictions of this section 8.10(a) applies; and

(3)if benefit payments are made to a Participant, the Participant's Spouse and/or other Beneficiary and/or an Alternate Payee with respect to the Participant, all such persons shall be

37


treated as one Participant for the purpose of the one partial lump sum payment rule described in section 8.10(a)(ii)(C)(2) hereof.

(iii)The benefit restrictions set forth in this section 8.10(a) shall apply during the period described in section 8.10(f) hereof.

(b)If the Plan's actual or presumed AFTAP is less than sixty percent (60%) the following benefit restrictions shall apply:

(i)The benefit restriction described in Section 8.10(a)(i) hereof;

(ii)Except for the lump sum payment of a Participant's entire benefit which is not more than five thousand dollars ($5,000) under this Plan, no lump sum benefit shall be paid;

(iii)No "unpredictable contingent event benefit", as defined in Code Section 436(b)(3) shall be paid; and

(iv)Benefit accruals under this Plan shall cease.

(c)The Actuary's actual AFTAP certification for each Plan Year, beginning January 1, 2010, shall be as of each January 1.  The Actuary may also provide one of the following "range AFTAP certifications", which shall have the same effect as an actual AFTAP certification:

(i)an AFTAP of at least 100%;

(ii)an AFTAP of at least 80%; or

(iii)an AFTAP of at least 60%.

If the Actuary provides a "range AFTAP certification", then as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter the Actuary shall provide the Administrator with an actual AFTAP certification as of the applicable January 1.  An actual AFTAP certification or an AFTAP range certification by the Actuary shall be calculated in accordance with Code Sections 430 and 436 and the Treasury Regulations and other guidance thereunder.

38


(d)If no actual or range AFTAP certification has been provided by the Actuary for a Plan Year, the Plan's presumed AFTAP under Code Section 436(h) shall be as follows:

Dates

Presumed AFTAP Percentage

January 1 to March 31

The Plan's AFTAP for the immediately preceding Plan Year shall be presumed to be the Plan's AFTAP

April 1, to September 30

The Plan's AFTAP for the immediately preceding Plan Year, reduced by ten percent (10%)

October 1 to December 31

The Plan's AFTAP shall be presumed to be less than sixty percent (60%)

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Actuary's actual AFTAP certification for the Plan Year beginning January 1, 2009 only would be less than sixty percent (60%), the Plan's AFTAP for such date shall be deemed to be the same as the Actuary's actual AFTAP certification for the Plan as of January 1, 2008, provided the Actuary's January 1, 2008 AFTAP certification for the Plan is greater than the Plan's actual January 1, 2009 AFTAP.  This "deemed January 1, 2008 AFTAP" provision shall not apply to a determination of whether the Plan's January 1, 2009 AFTAP is eighty percent (80%) or more.

(e)No lump sum payment shall be made by this Plan during any period in which the Employer is a debtor in a case under Title 11, United States Code, or a similar federal or state law, unless the Actuary for the Plan certifies that the Plan's AFTAP is not less than one hundred percent (100%).

(f)The beginning date for a period of benefit restrictions under this section 8.10, except for the benefit restriction described in section 8.10(a)(ii), Section 8.10(b)(ii) or section 8.10(e), shall be the earlier of:

the date the Actuary provides the Administrator with the Plan's AFTAP certification for the applicable Plan Year which is either less than eighty percent (80%), but not less than sixty percent (60%), or less than sixty percent (60%); or
the date the Plan's AFTAP is presumed under section 8.10(d) to be either less than eighty percent (80%), but not less than sixty percent (60%) or less than sixty percent (60%).

The beginning date for the benefit restrictions described in section 8.10(a)(ii), section 8.10(b)(ii) or section 8.10(e), i.e., a partial or complete restriction or the payment of lump sum benefit payments, shall be the earliest of:

39


the date the Actuary provides the Administrator with the Plan's AFTAP certification for the applicable Plan Year which is either less than eighty percent (80%), but not less than sixty percent (60%), or less than sixty percent (60%);
the date the Plan is presumed under section 8.10(d) to be less than either eighty percent (80%), but not less than sixty percent (60%) or less than sixty percent (60%); or
in the case the Employer is in bankruptcy, as described in section 8.10(e), the date of the bankruptcy filing.

The end of a period of benefit restrictions shall be the date the Plan's Actuary provides the Administrator with a certification of the Plan's AFTAP, as a result of which the Code Section 436 benefit restrictions described in this section 8.10 no longer apply due to one or more of the following:

A deemed or elected reduction of any available Code Section 430(f)(6) prefunding Plan credit balance and/or a Code Section 430(f)(7) funding standard carryover credit balance;
Employer contributions, including for the cost of unpredictable contingent event benefits or an increase in Plan liabilities due to a Plan amendment increasing Plan benefits; or
Security provided by the Employer pursuant to Code Section 436(f) and the Treasury Department regulations thereunder, i.e., either a surety bond in an appropriate amount or an escrow of cash or United States Treasury obligations which mature in three (3) years or less with a bank or similar institution.

(g)The Administrator shall provide written or electronic notice to Plan Participants and beneficiaries, pursuant to U.S. Department of Treasury regulations within 30 days after:

(i)the date the Plan's AFTAP is either certified by the Actuary or presumed (as described in section 8.10(d)) to be less than eighty percent (80%), but not less than sixty percent (60%); or

(ii)the date the Plan is certified by Actuary or is presumed (as described in section 8.10(d)) to be less than sixty percent (60%).

This notice shall address the following benefit restrictions, if applicable:  unpredictable contingent event benefits, limitations on lump sum payments and limitations on benefit accruals (but is not required to provide a notice with respect to a restriction on Plan amendments increasing benefits).

40


(h)The following benefit payment provisions shall apply if the restrictions described in section 8.10(a)(ii), section 8.10(b)(ii) or section 8.10(e), which restrict lump sum benefit payments, apply:

(i)A Participant's Spouse, other Beneficiary or alternate payee entitled to a benefit payment with an Annuity Starting Date during the period of the benefit restriction shall be afforded the opportunity to elect one of the following benefit payment alternatives:

(A)A partial lump sum payment pursuant to section 8.10(a)(ii) and the annuity form of payment described in section 8.10(a)(ii)(C)(1); or

(B)A life annuity or other Actuarial Equivalent, as defined in Article I, optional annuity form of payment provided by this Plan; or

(C)A partial lump sum payment pursuant to section 8.10(a)(ii) and a deferral of the remaining benefit until after the period of benefit restrictions under this section 8.10 cease; or

(D)Deferral of any payment or commencement of benefits until after the period of benefit restrictions under this section 8.10 cease.

(ii)After the period of benefit restrictions cease, the Participant, Spouse, other Beneficiary or alternate payee shall be afforded the opportunity to elect to resume the payment of benefits in a newly elected form of payment beginning on a new Annuity Starting Date elected by the Participant, Spouse, other Beneficiary or alternate payee, which shall not be earlier than ninety (90) days after the Actuary provides the Plan Administrator with a certification that the period of benefit restrictions has ceased because of the Actuary's certification of the Plan's then AFTAP.  The benefits which may be resumed after the period of benefit restrictions cease, shall automatically include any benefit accruals which ceased during the period of a benefit restriction under this section 8.10.

8.11Expenses.  The Company may determine whether a particular Plan expense is a settlor expense which the Employer must pay, or is a non-settlor expense which may be paid by the Plan.  The reasonable non-settlor expenses incident to the operation and administration of the Plan may be paid out of the Trust.  These expenses may include, but are not limited to, the compensation of personnel and advisors and the cost of compliance with the bonding requirements specified in ERISA.  The Company shall determine whether the Employer will pay any or all non-settlor reasonable Plan expenses or whether the Plan must bear the expense.  The Company, at its discretion, may elect at any time, to pay part or all thereof directly, and any such election shall not bind the Company as to its right to elect with respect to the same or other expenses at any time to have such compensation paid from the Trust.

41


ARTICLE IX. AMENDMENTS

Seaboard Corporation reserves the right to make from time to time any amendment or amendments to this Plan which, subject to section 11.5, do not cause any part of the fund to be used for, or diverted to, any purpose other than the exclusive benefit of Participants or their beneficiaries; provided, however, that Seaboard Corporation may make any amendment it determines necessary or desirable, with or without retroactive effect, to comply with ERISA.  Any such amendment shall be by instrument executed by an appropriate officer or agent of Seaboard Corporation and authorized by the Board of Directors of Seaboard Corporation.

No amendment to the Plan shall be effective to the extent that it has the effect of decreasing a Participant's Accrued Benefit.  Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, a Participant's Accrued Benefit may be reduced to the extent permitted under Code §412(c)(8).  No amendment to the Plan may reduce or eliminate benefits protected under Code §411(d)(6) determined immediately prior to the adoption date (or, if later, the effective date) of the amendment.  An amendment reduces or eliminates Code §411(d)(6) protected benefits if the amendment has the effect of either (1) eliminating or reducing an early retirement benefit or a retirement-type subsidy, or (2) except as provided by Treasury regulations, eliminating, any optional form of benefit.  In the case of a retirement-type subsidy, the preceding sentence shall apply only with respect to a Participant who satisfied (either before or after the amendment) the pre-amendment conditions for the subsidy.  In general, a retirement-type subsidy is a subsidy that continues after retirement, but does not include a qualified Disability benefit, a medical benefit, a social security supplement, death benefit (including fife insurance), or a plant shutdown benefit (that does not continue after retirement age).  Furthermore, no amendment to the Plan shall have the effect of decreasing a Participant's vested interest determined without regard to such amendment as of the later of the date such amendment is adopted, or becomes effective.  The Committee shall disregard an amendment to the extent application of the amendment would fail to satisfy this paragraph.

42


ARTICLE X. SUCCESSOR EMPLOYER AND MERGER OR CONSOLIDATION OF PLANS

10.1Successor Employer.  In the event of the dissolution, merger, consolidation or reorganization of the Employer, provision may be made by which the Plan will be continued by the successor; and, in that event, such successor shall be substituted for the Employer under the Plan.  The substitution of the successor shall constitute an assumption of Plan liabilities by the successor and the successor shall have all of the powers, duties and responsibilities of the Employer under the Plan.

10.2Plan Assets.  In the event of any merger or consolidation of the Plan with, or transfer in whole or in part of the assets and liabilities of the Trust to another Trust held under any other plan of deferred compensation maintained or to be established for the benefit of all or some of the Participants of this Plan, the Plan shall be so merged or consolidated, or the assets of the Trust applicable to such Participants shall be so transferred, only if:

(a)each Participant would (if either this Plan or the other plan then terminated) receive a benefit immediately after the merger, consolidation or transfer which is equal to or greater than the benefit he would have been entitled to receive immediately before the merger, consolidation or transfer (if this Plan had then terminated);

(b)resolutions of the Board of Directors and of any new or successor Employer of the affected Participants authorize such transfer of assets; and, in the case of the new or successor Employer of the affected Participants, its resolutions shall include an assumption of liabilities with respect to such Participants' inclusion in the new plan; and

(c)such other plan and trust are qualified under Code § §401(a) and 501(a).

43


ARTICLE XI. TERMINATION OF PLAN

11.1Right To Terminate.  In accordance with the procedures set forth in this Article XI, Seaboard Corporation may terminate the Plan at any time.  Further, any Employer can cease participation in the Plan at any time in accordance with the provisions of Article XIV.  Subject to applicable requirements, if any, of ERISA governing termination of "employee pension benefit plans," Seaboard Corporation shall direct and require the Trustee to liquidate the Trust, or the applicable portion thereof, in accordance with the provisions of this Article XI.

11.2Partial Termination.  Upon termination of the Plan with respect to a group of Participants which constitutes a partial termination of the Plan, the proportionate interest of the Participants affected by such partial termination shall be determined.  The determination of such proportionate interest shall be done in accordance with ERISA §4044 and shall be done in an equitable manner, considering the remaining Participants as well as the Participants affected by the termination, and on the basis of the contributions made by the Employer, the provisions of this Article XI, and other appropriate considerations.  In no event shall the Participants affected by such partial termination have any interest in or otherwise be entitled to any residual amounts described in section 11.5.  After such proportionate interest has been determined, the assets of the Trust shall be allocated and segregated according to such proportionate interest.

The assets of the Trust so allocated and segregated shall be used by the Trustee to pay benefits to or on behalf of Participants in accordance with section 11.3.

11.3Liquidation of Trust Fund.  Upon termination of the Plan or upon termination of employment of a group of Participants which constitutes a partial termination of the Plan, each such Participant's Accrued Benefit, based on his service prior to the date of termination, shall become fully vested and nonforfeitable to the extent funded.  The assets of the Trust shall be liquidated (after provision is made for the expenses of liquidation) by the payment or provision for the payment of benefits in the following order of preference:

(a)Certain Benefits Payable Three Years Prior to Termination:  The available assets of the Trust shall first be allocated to provide Pensions that become payable three or more years before the effective date of Plan termination, or that could have become payable at the beginning of such three-year period had the Participant not deferred the commencement of his Pension by failing to elect earlier commencement, or that could have become payable had a Participant's retirement occurred immediately prior to the beginning of such three-year period, provided that,

(i)the portion of the Pension payable to a Participant or the beneficiary of a Participant (or that could have been payable) shall be based on the provisions of the Plan in effect five years prior to the effective date of Plan termination; and for this purpose, the first Plan Year in which an amendment became effective, or was adopted if later, shall constitute the first year an amendment was in effect; and further provided that,

44


(ii)if the Pension payable under the Plan has been reduced, either by amendment or due to the form in which the Pension is being paid, during the three-year period ending, on the effective date of Plan termination, then the lowest benefit in pay status during such three-year period shall be considered the benefit in pay status for purposes of this category (a).

(b)Other Benefits Eligible For Termination Insurance:  To the extent that the amount of a Pension has not been provided in the foregoing category (a), the remaining assets shall be allocated to provide any Pension provided under the Plan for a Participant whose employment terminated prior to the effective date of Plan termination, or any immediate or deferred Pension that would have been payable to or on behalf of a Participant had his employment terminated for a reason other than death on the effective date of Plan termination, provided that the amount of a Pension to be provided under this category (b) shall be determined as follows:

(i)the portion of the Pension payable to a Participant or the beneficiary of a Participant (or that could have been payable) based on the provisions of the Plan in effect five years prior to the effective date of Plan termination; and for this purpose, the first Plan Year in which an amendment became effective, or was adopted if later, shall constitute the first year an amendment was in effect; plus

(ii)the portion of the Pension payable to a Participant or the beneficiary of a Participant which would have been included in (i) above had the Plan or a Plan amendment been in effect five years prior to the effective date of Plan termination, determined as follows: 20% for each Plan Year (less than five) that the Plan or an amendment thereto was in effect, multiplied by the amount that would have been included under subparagraph (i) for such Participant or beneficiary had the Plan or the amendment been in effect for five Plan Years as of the effective date of Plan termination; provided that,

(iii)no benefit payable under this category (b) to a Participant or beneficiary shall exceed an amount with an Actuarial Value of a monthly benefit in the form of a life-only annuity commencing at age 65 equal to $750 multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the contribution and benefit base determined under section 230 of the Social Security Act in effect at the effective date of Plan termination and the denominator of which is such contribution and benefit base in effect in calendar year 1974, which is $4,500, as of January 1, 2009.  Such benefit base shall be adjusted each calendar year thereafter pursuant to ERISA Section 4022(b)(3)(B).

(c)Other Vested Benefits:  To the extent the amount of a Pension has not been provided in the foregoing categories (a) and (b), the remaining assets shall be allocated to provide the benefit payable under the Plan to or on behalf of a Participant whose employment terminated prior to the effective date of Plan termination, or that would have been payable to or on behalf of a Participant had his employment terminated

45


for a reason other than death on the effective date of Plan termination, in the following order of preference:

(i)to any Participant who had retired prior to the effective date of Plan termination, or who was eligible to retire on the effective date of Plan termination under said section;

(ii)to any Participant whose employment had terminated prior to the effective date of Plan termination with entitlement to a Deferred Vested Pension or who would have been eligible for a Deferred Vested Pension had his employment terminated on the effective date of Plan termination.

(d)Other Benefits:  To the extent that the amount of a Pension has not been provided in the foregoing categories (a), (b) and (c), the remaining assets shall be allocated to provide the benefit accrued under the Plan, without regard to the satisfaction of the vesting requirements of this Plan, with respect to each Participant whose employment had not terminated as of the effective date of Plan termination, according to the respective Actuarial Value of each such Participant's Accrued Benefit.

If the assets of the Trust applicable to any of the above categories are insufficient to provide full benefits for all persons in such group, the benefits otherwise payable to such persons shall be reduced proportionately.  The Actuary shall calculate the allocation of the assets of the Trust in accordance with the above priority categories, and certify his calculations to the Fiduciaries.  The provisions of this section 11.3 are intended to comply with the provisions of ERISA (and any regulations issued thereunder).  If there is any discrepancy between the provisions of this section 11.3 and the provisions of ERISA, such discrepancy shall be resolved in such a way as to comply with ERISA.  No liquidation of assets and payment of benefits (or provision therefor) shall actually be made by the Trustee until after it is advised by the Employer in writing that applicable requirements, if any, of ERISA governing termination of employee pension benefit plans have been, or are being complied with or that appropriate authorizations, waivers, exemptions or variances have been, or are being, obtained.

11.4Manner of Distribution.  Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Article XI, any distribution after termination of the Plan may be made, in whole or in part, to the extent that nondiscrimination in value results, in cash, in securities or other assets in kind (based on their fair market value as of the date of distribution), or in nontransferable annuity contracts providing for Pensions commencing at Normal Retirement Date, as the Committee in its discretion shall determine.  Any such distribution shall be made in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Code and the regulations thereunder.

11.5Residual Amounts.  The Employer shall not receive any amounts from the trust fund upon termination of the Plan except that, and notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, (i) the Employer shall receive such amounts, if any, as may remain after the satisfaction of all liabilities of the Plan and arising out of any variations between actual requirements and expected actuarial requirements, and (ii) the Employer may receive the amount of any contribution made under mistake of fact or disallowed as a deduction as provided in section 6.3.

46


ARTICLE XII. TOP-HEAVY RULES

12.1Minimum Benefit.  If this Plan is top-heavy in any Plan Year, the Plan guarantees a minimum Normal Retirement Pension for each Non-Key Employee who is a Participant in the Plan.  The minimum Normal Retirement Pension is equal to the applicable percentage of the Non-Key Employee's average annual Compensation (excluding Compensation for Plan Years during which the Plan is not top heavy).  The applicable percentage is two percent (2%) multiplied by the number of Years of Service (not to exceed 10) earned as a Non-Key Employee Participant in top-heavy Plan Years.  The Plan satisfies the minimum benefit for a Non-Key Employee if the Non-Key Employee's Accrued Benefit at the end of the top-heavy Plan Year is at least equal to the minimum Normal Retirement Pension.  For purposes of this paragraph, a Non-Key Employee Participant includes any Employee otherwise eligible to Participate in the Plan but who is not a Participant because his Compensation does not exceed a specified level.  A Non-Key Employee for purposes of this paragraph shall also include any Participant who completed at least 1,000 Hours of Service during the Plan Year even though such Participant may not be an Employee on the last day of the Plan Year.  For purposes of applying this Article XII, the Committee shall express the Participant's Accrued Benefit and minimum Normal Retirement Pension as a single life annuity at Normal Retirement Age.

12.2Minimum Vesting.  If a Participant's employment is terminated while the Plan is top-heavy, the following vesting schedule shall be applied with respect to such Participant notwithstanding any provision in this Plan to the contrary:

Credited Service at
Termination Date

    

Percent of Accrued
Benefit Vested

Less than 2 years

0%

2 years

20%

3 years

40%

4 years

60%

5 years or more

100%

For purposes of satisfying the minimum benefit requirements of Code §416(c)(1) and the Plan, in determining years of Credited Service with the Employer, any years of Credited Service with the Employer shall be disregarded to the extent that such Credited Service occurs during a Plan Year when the Plan benefits (within the meaning of Code §410(b)) no Key Employee or former Key Employee.

The vesting schedule described above shall not apply to any Participant unless the Participant has accumulated at least one Hour of Service after the Plan becomes top-heavy.  If the Plan becomes a top-heavy Plan and subsequently ceases to be such, the vesting schedule described above shall continue to apply in determining the deferred vested benefit of any Participant who has at least three Years of Service on the last day of the last top-heavy Plan Year.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no change in the vesting schedule shall reduce the then vested percentage of any Participant.

47


12.3Additional Accruals.  If, at the end of any top-heavy Plan Year, a Non-Key Employee Participant's Accrued Benefit is not at least equal to his minimum Normal Retirement Pension, the Non-Key Employee Participant shall earn the additional accrual necessary to increase his Accrued Benefit to the minimum Normal Retirement Pension.  The Non-Key Employee Participant's Accrued Benefit shall never be less than his minimum Normal Retirement Pension, regardless of the Plan's top-heavy status in Plan Years subsequent to a Plan Year in which he earned an additional accrual under this Article XII.

12.4Compensation Limitations.  For purposes of determining the minimum Normal Retirement Pension under section 12.1, the Committee shall calculate a Participant's average annual Compensation by disregarding Plan Years in which the Participant did not earn a Year of Service, and by taking the highest average over five (5) consecutive Plan Years (or, if the Participant did not receive Compensation during five (5) consecutive years, the average of annual Compensation for such lesser period of consecutive years during which the Participant received Compensation).

12.5Determination of Top-Heavy Status.  If this Plan is the only qualified plan maintained by the Employer, the Plan is top-heavy for a Plan Year if the top-heavy ratio as of the determination date exceeds 60%.  The top-heavy ratio is a fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of the present value of Accrued Benefits of all Key Employees as of the determination date, determined as if the Participant terminated service as of such determination date, and distributions made within the 1-year period ending on the determination date, and the denominator of which is a similar sum determined for all Employees.  The Committee shall calculate the top-heavy ratio by disregarding (i) the Accrued Benefit of any Non-Key Employee who was formerly a Key Employee, (ii) the Accrued Benefit attributable to deductible voluntary employee contributions, (iii) the Accrued Benefit (including distributions, if any, of the Accrued Benefit) of an individual who has not received any Compensation from the Employer or performed any services for the Employer during the 1-year period ending on the determination date, and (iv) proportional subsidies (but non-proportional subsidies shall not be disregarded).  The preceding sentence shall also apply to distributions under a terminated plan which, had it not been terminated, would have been aggregated with the Plan under Code §416(g)(2)(A)(i).  In the case of a distribution made for a reason other than severance of employment, death, or Disability, this provision shall be applied by substituting "5-year period" for "1-year period."  The Accrued Benefits and accounts of any individual who has not performed services for the Employer during the 1-year period ending on the determination date shall not be taken into account.  The Committee shall calculate the top-heavy ratio, including the extent to which it must take into account distributions, rollovers and transfers, in accordance with Code §416 and the regulations thereunder.  The Committee shall determine present value of Employer-derived Accrued Benefits as of the most recent valuation date for computing minimum funding costs falling within the twelve-month period ending on the determination date, whether or not the Actuary performs a valuation that year, except as Code §416 and the regulations thereunder require for the first and second Plan Year of this Plan.

If the Employer maintains other qualified plans (including a simplified employee pension plan), this Plan is top-heavy only if it is part of the required aggregation group, and the top-heavy ratio for both the required aggregation group and the permissive aggregation group exceeds 60%.  The Committee will calculate the top-heavy ratio in the same manner as required by the first paragraph of this section, taking into account all Plans within the aggregation group.  To the extent the Committee must take into account distributions to a Participant, the Committee shall include distributions from a terminated plan which would have been part of the required aggregation group if it were in existence on the determination date.  The Committee shall calculate the present value of Accrued Benefits and the other amounts the Committee must take into account, under defined contribution plans or simplified employee pension plans included within the group in accordance with the terms of those plans, Code §416 and the regulations thereunder.  The Committee shall value the Accrued Benefits in the aggregated plan as of the most recent valuation date falling within the twelve-month period ending on the determination date, except as Code §416 and the regulations thereunder require for the first and second plan year of a defined benefit plan.  The Committee shall calculate the top-heavy ratio with reference to the determination dates that fall within the same calendar year.  To determine present value under this section, the Committee shall use the interest and mortality assumptions stated in the definition of Actuarial Value in Article I hereof.  For purposes of this section 12.5, a Participant's Accrued Benefit in a defined benefit plan will be determined under a uniform accrual method which applies in all defined benefit plans maintained by the Employer or, where there is no such method, as if such benefit accrued not more rapidly than the slowest rate of accrual permitted under the fractional rule of Code §411(b)(1)(C).

12.6Definitions.  For purposes of applying the provisions of this Article:

(a)"Key Employee" means any Employee or former Employee (including any deceased Employee) who at any time during the Plan Year that includes the determination date was an officer of the Employer having annual compensation greater than $130,000 (as adjusted under Code §416(i)(1) for Plan Years beginning after December 31, 2002), a 5-percent owner of the Employer, or a 1-percent owner of the Employer having annual compensation of more than $150,000.  For this purpose, annual compensation means compensation within the meaning of Code §415(c)(3).  The determination of who is a Key Employee will be made in accordance with Code §416(i)(1) and the applicable regulations and other guidance of general applicability issued thereunder.

(b)"Non-Key Employee" is an Employee who does not meet the definition of Key Employee.

(c)"Determination Date" for any Plan Year is the last day of the preceding Plan Year or, in the case of the first Plan Year of the Plan, the last day of that Plan Year.

(d)"Required Aggregation Group" means:

(i)Each qualified Plan of the Employer in which at least one Key Employee participates; and

49


(ii)Any other qualified Plan of the Employer which enables a plan described in (i) to meet the requirements of Code §401(a)(4) or Code §410.

(e)"Permissive Aggregation Group" is the required aggregation group plus any other qualified plan maintained by the Employer, but only if such group would satisfy in the aggregate, the requirements of Code §401(a)(4) and Code §410.  The Committee shall determine which Plan to take into account in determining the Permissive Aggregation Group.

(f)"Employer" shall mean all the members of a controlled group of corporations (as defined in Code §414(b), of a commonly controlled group of trades or businesses (whether or not incorporated) (as defined in Code §414(c)), or of an affiliated service group (as defined in Code §414(m)), of which the Employer is a part.  However, the Committee shall not aggregate ownership interests in more than one member of a related group to determine whether an individual is a Key Employee because of his ownership interest in the Employer.

(g)"Year of Service" - A Plan Year during which an Employee completes at least one thousand (1,000) Hours of Service.

(h)"Accrued Benefit" - Solely for purposes of applying section 12.5, the Committee shall take into account, as part of a Participant's Accrued Benefit, any benefit derived from Participant contributions, except as provided in section 12.5.

(i)"Valuation Date" - The last day of the Plan Year.

ARTICLE XIII. BENEFIT LIMITATIONS

13.1Limitation on Annual Benefit.  Except as otherwise provided below, the provisions of this section 13.1 shall apply to limitation years beginning on or after January 1, 2008.

(a)Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, for any Plan Year, the "annual benefit" otherwise payable to a Participant under this Plan, and under any other defined benefit plan which is subject to Section 415 of the Code and maintained by the Company or any other member of its controlled group of corporations or trades and businesses with the meaning of Code Sections 414(b) and (c), as modified by Code Section 415(h), (referred to in this section 13.1 as the "Company") cannot exceed the lesser of:

(i)$230,000 (for 2021) (as adjusted, effective January 1 of each year, under Code Section 415(d) in such manner as the Secretary shall prescribe), or

(ii)100 percent of the Participant's average annual compensation for the Participant's three highest paid consecutive Plan Years; provided, however, benefits of up to $10,000 a Plan Year can be paid without regard to this 100 percent limitation if the total retirement benefits payable to an Employee under all defined benefit plans (as defined in Code Section 414(j)) maintained by the Company for the present and any prior Plan Years do not exceed $10,000 and the Company has not at any time maintained a defined contribution plan (as defined in Code section 414(i)) in which the Employee was a Participant.

(b)Notwithstanding the preceding, the limitations set forth above shall be adjusted as follows:

(i)If the Participant has fewer than 10 Years of Service as a Participant, the applicable dollar limitation in paragraph (a)(i) of this section shall be reduced by multiplying such limitation by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of years, or part thereof, of participation in this Plan and the denominator of which shall be 10 years.

(ii)If the Participant has fewer than 10 Years of Service with the Employer, the Compensation limitations in paragraph (a)(ii) of this section shall be reduced by multiplying such limitations by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of years, or part thereof, of service with the Employer, and the denominator of which shall be 10 years.

(iii)Pre-Age 62 benefit adjustment for Limitations Years beginning before July 1, 2007.  If the benefit of a Participant begins prior to age 62, the defined benefit dollar limitation set forth in paragraph (a)(i) above applicable to the Participant at such earlier age is an annual benefit payable in the form of a single life annuity beginning at the earlier age that is the actuarial equivalent of the defined benefit dollar limitation applicable to the Participant at age 62 (as

51


adjusted above, if required).  The defined benefit dollar limitation applicable at any age prior to age 62 is determined as the lesser of (A) the actuarial equivalent (at such age) of the defined benefit dollar limitation computed using the interest rate and mortality table (or other tabular factor) specified in the Plan' definition of Actuarial Value, and (B) the actuarial equivalent (at such age) of the defined benefit dollar limitation computed using a 5% interest rate and the applicable mortality table as defined in the Plan's definition Actuarial Value.  Any decrease in the defined benefit dollar limitation determined in accordance with this paragraph shall not reflect a mortality decrement if benefits are not forfeited upon the death of the Participant.  If any benefits are forfeited upon death, the full mortality decrement is taken into account.

(iv)Pre-Age 62 benefit adjustment for Limitation Years beginning on or after July 1, 2007.

(A)Plan does not have immediately commencing single life annuity payable at both age 62 and the age of benefit commencement.  If the Annuity Starting Date for the Participant's benefit is prior to age 62 and occurs in a Limitation Year beginning on or after July 1, 2007, and the plan does not have an immediately commencing single life annuity payable at both age 62 and the age of benefit commencement, the defined benefit dollar limitation for the Participant's Annuity Starting Date is the annual amount of a benefit payable in the form of a single life annuity commencing at the Participant's Annuity Starting Date that is the Actuarial Equivalent of the defined benefit dollar limitation (adjusted under subsection (b)(i) of this section 13.1 for Years of Service less than 10, if required) with Actuarial Equivalence computed using a 5% interest rate assumption and the applicable mortality table for the Annuity Starting Date as defined in the Plan's definition Actuarial Value (and expressing the Participant's age based on completed calendar months as of the Annuity Starting Date).

(B)Plan has immediately commencing single life annuity payable at both age 62 and the age of benefit commencement.  If the Annuity Starting Date for the Participant's benefit is prior to age 62 and occurs in a Limitation Year beginning on or after July 1, 2007, and the Plan has immediately commencing single life annuity payable at both age 62 and the age of benefit commencement, the defined benefit dollar limitation for the Participant's Annuity Starting Date is the lesser of the limitation determined under subsection (iv)(A) above and the defined benefit dollar limitation (adjusted under subsection (b)(i) of this section 13.1 for Years of Service less than 10, if required) multiplied by the ratio of the annual amount of the immediately commencing single Life Annuity under the Plan at the Participant's Annuity Starting Date to the annual

52


amount of the immediately commencing single Life Annuity under the Plan at age 62, both determined without applying the limitations of this article.

(v)Post-Age 65 benefit adjustment for Limitation Years beginning before July 1, 2007.  If the benefit of a Participant begins after the Participant attains age 65, the defined benefit dollar limitation set forth in paragraph (a)(i) applicable to the Participant at the later age is the annual benefit payable in the form of a single life annuity beginning at the later age that is actuarially equivalent to the defined benefit dollar limitation applicable to the Participant at age 65 (as adjusted above, if required).  The actuarial equivalent of the defined benefit dollar limitation applicable at any age after age 65 is determined as (A) the lesser of the actuarial equivalent (at such age) of the defined benefit dollar limitation computed using the interest rate and mortality table (or other tabular factor) specified in section 1.3 of the Plan, and (B) the actuarially equivalent (at such age) of the defined benefit dollar limitation computed using a 5% interest rate assumption and the applicable mortality table as defined in section 1.3 of the Plan.  For these purposes, mortality between age 65 and the age at which benefits commence shall be ignored.

(vi)Post-Age 65 benefit adjustment for Limitation Years beginning on or after July 1, 2007.

(A)Plan does not have immediately commencing Single Life Annuity payable at both age 65 and the age of benefit commencement.  If the Annuity Starting Date for the Participant's benefit is after age 65 and occurs in a Limitation Year beginning on or after July 1, 2007, and the Plan does not have an immediately commencing straight life annuity payable at both age 65 and the age of benefit commencement, the defined benefit dollar limitation at the Participant's Annuity Starting Date is the annual amount of a benefit payable in the form of a single life annuity commencing at the Participant's Annuity Starting Date that is the Actuarial Equivalent of the defined benefit dollar limitation (adjusted under subsection (b)(i) of this section 13.1 for Years of Service less than 10, if required), with Actuarial Equivalence computed using a 5% interest rate assumption and the applicable mortality table for that Annuity Starting Date as defined in section 1.3 of the Plan (and expressing the Participant's age based on completed calendar months as of the Annuity Starting Date).

(B)Plan has immediately commencing Single Life Annuity Payable at both age 65 and the age of benefit commencement.  If the Annuity Starting Date for the Participant's benefit is after age 65 and occurs in a Limitation Year beginning on or after July 1, 2007, and the Plan has an immediately commencing single life annuity payable at both age 65 and the age of benefit commencement, the defined benefit dollar limitation at the Participant's Annuity Starting Date is the lesser of the

53


limitation determined under (vi)(A) above and the defined benefit dollar limitation (adjusted under subsection (b)(i) of this section 13.1 for Years of Service less than 10, if required) multiplied by the ratio of the annual amount of the adjusted immediately commencing single life annuity under the Plan at the Participant's Annuity Starting Date to the annual amount of the adjusted immediately commencing single life annuity under the Plan at age 65, both determined without applying the limitations of this article.  For this purpose, the adjusted immediately commencing single life annuity under the Plan at the Participant's Annuity Starting Date is the annual amount of such annuity payable to the Participant, computed disregarding the Participant's accruals after age 65 but including actuarial adjustments even if those actuarial adjustments are used to offset accruals; and the adjusted immediately commencing single life annuity under the Plan at age 65 is the annual amount of such annuity that would be payable under the Plan to a hypothetical participant who is age 65 and has the same Accrued Benefit as the Participant.

(c)For purposes of this section 13.1, the term "annual benefit" means a benefit payable annually in the form of a single life annuity with no ancillary or incidental benefits and with no employee or rollover contributions.

(i)When retirement benefits under this Plan are payable in any form other than a single life annuity, the determination as to whether the limitations described in this section 13.1 have been satisfied shall be made in accordance with regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury or his delegate, by adjusting such benefit so that it is the actuarial equivalent value of a single life annuity.

(ii)For limitation years beginning on or after January 1, 2008, if the Participant's retirement benefits are payable in a form to which Code Section 417(e)(3) does not apply, the actuarially equivalent single life annuity shall be equal to the greater of:

(A)the annual amount of the single life annuity payable to the Participant under the Plan commencing at the same Annuity Starting Date as the form of benefit payable to the Participant, and

(B)the annual amount of the single life annuity commencing at the same Annuity Starting Date as the form of benefit payable to the Participant, computed using a 5% interest rate assumption and the applicable mortality table described in Treas. Regs. Sec. 1.417(e)-1(d)(2).

(iii)For limitation years beginning before January 1, 2008, if the Participant's retirement benefits are payable in a form to which Code Section 417(e)(3) does not apply, the actuarially equivalent single life annuity shall be equal to the annual amount of the single life annuity payable to the Participant

54


under the Plan commencing at the same Annuity Starting Date that has the same actuarial present value as the form of benefit payable to the Participant, computed using whichever of the following that produces the greater annual amount:  (A) the interest rate and mortality table specified in the Plan for adjusting benefits in the same form; and (B) a 5% interest rate and the applicable mortality table.

(iv)Effective for Limitation Years beginning after December 31, 2005, if the Participant's retirement benefits are payable in a form to which Code Section 417(e)(3) does apply, the actuarially equivalent single life annuity shall be equal to the greatest of:

(A)the annual amount of the single life annuity commencing at the same Annuity Starting Date that has the same actuarial present value as the form of benefit payable to the Participant, computed using the interest rate and mortality table specified in the Plan for actuarial equivalence;

(B)the annual amount of the single life annuity commencing at the same Annuity Starting Date that has the same actuarial present value as the form of benefit payable to the Participant, computed using a 5.5% interest rate and the applicable mortality table described in Treas. Regs. Sec. 1.417(e)-1(d)(2); and

(C)the annual amount of the single life annuity commencing at the Annuity Starting Date that has the same actuarial present value as the form of benefit payable to the Participant, computed using the applicable interest rate for the distribution under Treas. Regs. Sec. 1.417(e)-1(d)(3) and the applicable mortality table for the distribution under Treas. Regs. Sec. 1.417(e)-1(d)(2), divided by 1.05.

(v)If the Participant's retirement benefits are payable in a form other than a single life annuity and Code Section 417(e)(3) applies to such benefit, and the benefit has an Annuity Starting Date occurring in the Plan Years beginning on January 1, 2004 and January 1, 2005, the actuarially equivalent single life annuity shall be equal to the single life annuity commencing on the same Annuity Starting Date that has the same actuarial present value as the Participant's form of benefit, computed using whichever of the following produces the greater annual amount: (i) the annuity benefit computed using the interest rate and mortality table specified in the Plan for determining actuarial equivalence of the Participant's retirement benefits payable in the same form of benefit, or (ii) the annuity benefit computed using a 5.5% interest rate assumption and the mortality table described in Treas. Regs. Sec. 1.417(e)-1(d)(2).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, retirement benefits commencing on or after January 1, 2004 and before December 31, 2004 under any form of benefit subject to Code Section 417(e)(e) shall not, solely by reason of a change in the interest rate assumption for the 2004 Plan Year to 5.5%,

55


be less than the amount that would have been payable had the amount been determined using the interest rate specified in the Plan in effect as of the last day of the Plan Year commencing before January 1, 2004.

(d)For purposes of this section 13.1, "compensation" means, except as otherwise expressly provided, a Participant's wages, during the limitation year, within the meaning of Code Section 3401(a) (for purposes of income tax withholding at the source), plus all other payments of compensation to a Participant by the Employer (in the course of the Employer's trade or business) for services to the Employer while employed as a Participant for which the Employer is required to furnish the Participant a written statement under Code Sections 6041(d), 6051(a)(3) and 6052, but determined without regard to any rules that limit the remuneration included in wages based on the nature or location of the employment or the services performed, and including the amount of any elective contributions made by the Employer on behalf of such Participant that are not includible in the Participant's income under Code Section 125(a), 132(f)(4), 402(e)(3), 402(h)(1)(B), 402(k) or 457(b).  Compensation, however:

(i)shall not include any wages paid after a Participant's severance from employment unless such payment is made before the later of: (1) 2½ months after the Participant's severance from employment with the Employer or (2) the end of the "limitation year" that includes the Participant's severance from employment and,

(A)the payment is regular compensation for services actually rendered, such as base salary or wages, commissions, bonuses, or other similar payments, that would have been paid to the Participant while an Employee had he or she continued in employment with the Employer; or

(B)the payment is for unused accrued bona fide sick, vacation, or other leave that the Participant would have been able to use if employment had continued; or

(C)the payment is received by a Participant pursuant to a nonqualified unfunded deferred compensation plan, but only if the payment would have been paid to the Participant at the same time if the Participant had continued in employment with the Employer and only to the extent that such payment is includible in the Participant's gross income;

(ii)shall include payments to an individual who does not currently perform services for the Employer by reason of a qualified military service (as that term is defined in Code Section 414(u)(5) and section 2.5 hereof), to the extent such payments do not exceed the amounts the individual would have received if he or she had continued to perform services for the Employer rather than entering qualified military service;

56


(iii)shall include compensation paid to a Participant who is permanently and totally Disabled (as defined in Code Section 22(e)(3)).

(iv)shall be disregarded to the extent it exceeds the annual compensation limit in effect for the "limitation year" under Code Section 401(a)(17), as adjusted annually in accordance with Code Section 401(a)(17)(B).  The adjusted annual compensation limit in effect for a calendar year shall be effective for the limitation year beginning in such calendar year.

(e)For purposes of this section 13.1, the "average annual compensation for a Participant's three highest-paid consecutive years" shall mean the Participant's greatest aggregate compensation during the period of three consecutive Plan Years in which the individual was an active Participant in the Plan.

(f)If as a result of actuarial increases to the benefit of a Participant who delays commencement of benefits beyond Normal Retirement Age the Accrued Benefit of such Participant would exceed the limitations under this Section 13.1 for the limitation year, payment of benefits to such Participant will be suspended in accordance with Section 4.7 of the Plan, if applicable; otherwise, immediately before the actuarial increase to the Participant's benefit that would cause such Participant's benefit to exceed the limitations of this Section 13.1, distribution of the Participant's benefit will commence.

57


ARTICLE XIV. PARTICIPATING EMPLOYERS

14.1Adoption by Employers.  Any company, whether or not an Affiliated Employer, with the consent of Seaboard Corporation may adopt this Plan and become an Employer hereunder.  Seaboard Corporation shall notify the Trustee of the names of all such Employers.  The Trustee may, but shall not be required to, commingle, hold and invest as one fund all contributions made by Employers, as well as all increments thereof.  The assets of the Plan shall, on an ongoing basis, be available to pay benefits to all Participants and Beneficiaries under the Plan without regard to the Employer who contributed such assets.

14.2Designation of Agent.  Each Employer shall be deemed to be a part of this Plan; provided, however, that with respect to all of its relations with the Trustee and Committee for the purpose of this Plan, each Employer shall be deemed to have designated irrevocably the Plan Sponsor as its agent.

14.3Discontinuance of Participation.  Any Employer shall be permitted to discontinue or revoke its participation in the Plan.  At the time of any such discontinuance or revocation, satisfactory evidence thereof and of any applicable conditions imposed shall be delivered to the Trustee.  Upon direction of such Employer, the Trustee may thereafter transfer, deliver and assign Contracts and other Trust Fund assets allocable to the Participants who are Employees of such Employer to such new Trustee as shall have been designated by such Employer, in the event that it has established a separate pension plan for its Employees; provided, however, that no such transfer shall be made if the result is the elimination or reduction of any Code §411 (d)(6) protected benefits.  Alternatively, upon the direction of such Employer, the Trustee as soon as reasonably practicable may distribute to the Participants who are Employees of such Employer in a lump sum the Actuarial Value of their Accrued Benefits; provided, however, that any such distributions shall be subject to the applicable requirements, if any, of ERISA.

58


ARTICLE XV. MINIMUM DISTRIBUTION REQUIREMENTS

15.1General Rules.

(a)Effective Date.  The provisions of this Article XV will apply for purposes of determining required minimum distributions for calendar years beginning with the 2003 calendar year.  This Article XV will supersede the provisions of the Plan to the extent those provisions are inconsistent with the provisions of this Article XV; provided, however, that this Article XV shall not be considered to allow a Participant or beneficiary or surviving spouse to delay a distribution or elect an optional form of benefit not otherwise provided in the Plan.

(b)Requirements of Treasury Regulations Incorporated.  All distributions required under this article will be determined and made in accordance with the Treasury Regulations under Code Section 401(a)(9).

(c)TEFRA Section 242(b)(2) Elections.  Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Article XV other than section 15.1(b), distributions may be made under a designation made before January 1, 1984, in accordance with Section 242(b)(2) of the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act (TEFRA) and the provisions of the Plan that relate to Section 242(b)(2) of TEFRA.

15.2Time and Manner of Distribution.

(a)Required Beginning Date.  The Participant's entire interest will be distributed, or begin to be distributed, to the Participant no later than the Participant's Required Beginning Date.

(b)Death of Participant Before Distributions Begin.  If the Participant dies before distributions begin, the Participant's entire interest will be distributed, or begin to be distributed, no later than as follows:

(i)If the Participant's surviving spouse is the Participant's sole designated beneficiary, then distributions to the surviving spouse will begin by December 31 of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which the Participant died, or by December 31 of the calendar year in which the Participant would have attained age 70½ if later.

(ii)If the Participant's surviving spouse is not the Participant's sole designated beneficiary, then distributions to the designated beneficiary will begin by December 31 of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which the Participant died.

(iii)If there is no designated beneficiary as of September 30 of the year following the year of the Participant's death, the Participant's entire interest will be distributed by December 31 of the calendar year containing the fifth anniversary of the Participant's death.

59


(iv)If the Participant's surviving spouse is the Participant's sole designated beneficiary and the surviving spouse dies after the Participant but before distributions to the surviving spouse begin, this section 15.2(b), other than section 15.2(b)(i), will apply as if the surviving spouse were the Participant.

For purposes of this section 15.2(b) and section 15.5, distributions are considered to begin on the Participant's required beginning date (or, if section 15.2(b)(iv) applies, the date distributions are required to begin to the surviving spouse under section 15.2(b)(i)).  If annuity payments irrevocably commence to the Participant before the Participant's required beginning date (or to the Participant's surviving spouse before the date distributions are required to begin to the surviving spouse under section 15.2(b)(i)), the date distributions are considered to begin is the date distributions actually commence.

(c)Form of Distribution.  Unless the Participant's interest is distributed in the form of an annuity purchased from an insurance company or in a single sum on or before the required beginning date, as of the first distribution calendar year distributions will be made in accordance with sections 15.3, 15.4 and 15.5 of this Article XV.  If the Participant's interest is distributed in the form of an annuity purchased from an insurance company, distributions thereunder will be made in accordance with the requirements of Code Section 401(a)(9) and the Treasury Regulations.  Any part of the Participant's interest which is in the form of an individual account described in Code Section 414(k) will be distributed in a manner satisfying the requirements of Code Section 401(a)(9) and the Treasury Regulations that apply to individual accounts.

15.3Determination of Amount to be Distributed Each Year.

(a)General Annuity Requirements.  If the Participant's interest is paid in the form of annuity distributions under the Plan, payments under the annuity will satisfy the following requirements:

(i)the annuity distributions will be paid in periodic payments made at intervals not longer than one year;

(ii)the distribution period will be over a life (or lives) or over a period certain not longer than the period described in section 15.4 or section 15.5;

(iii)once payments have begun over a period certain, the period certain will not be changed even if the period certain is shorter than the maximum permitted;

(iv)payments will either be non-increasing or increase only as follows:

(A)by an annual percentage increase that does not exceed the annual percentage increase in a cost-of-living index that is based on prices of all items and issued by the Bureau of Labor Statistics;

60


(B)to the extent of the reduction in the amount of the Participant's payments to provide for a survivor benefit upon death, but only if the beneficiary whose life was being used to determine the distribution period described in Section 15.4 dies or is no longer the Participant's beneficiary pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order within the meaning of Section 414(p);

(C)to provide cash refunds of employee contributions upon the Participant's death; or

(D)to pay increased benefits that result from a Plan amendment.

(b)Amount Required to be Distributed by Required Beginning Date.  The amount that must be distributed on or before the Participant's required beginning date (or, if the Participant dies before distributions begin, the date distributions are required to begin under section 15.2(b)(i) or section 15.2(b)(ii)) is the payment that is required for one payment interval.  The second payment need not be made until the end of the next payment interval even if that payment interval ends in the next calendar year.  Payment intervals are the periods for which payments are received, e.g., bi-monthly, monthly, semi-annually, or annually.  All of the Participant's benefit accruals as of the last day of the first distribution calendar year will be included in the calculation of the amount of the annuity payments for payment intervals ending on or after the Participant's required beginning date.

(c)Additional Accruals After First Distribution Calendar Year.  Any additional benefits accruing to the Participant in a calendar year after the first distribution calendar year will be distributed beginning with the first payment interval ending in the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which such amount accrues.

15.4Requirements For Annuity Distributions That Commence During Participant's Lifetime.

(a)Joint Life Annuities Where the Beneficiary Is Not the Participant's Spouse.  If the Participant's interest is being distributed in the form of a joint and survivor annuity for the joint lives of the Participant and a non-spouse beneficiary, annuity payments to be made on or after the Participant's required beginning date to the designated beneficiary after the Participant's death must not at any time exceed the applicable percentage of the annuity payment for such period that would have been payable to the Participant using the table set forth in Q&A-2 of Section 1.401(a)(9)-6 of the Treasury Regulations.  If the form of distribution combines a joint and survivor annuity for the joint lives of the Participant and a non-spouse beneficiary and a period certain annuity, the requirement in the preceding sentence will apply to annuity payments to be made to the designated beneficiary after the expiration of the period certain.

(b)Period Certain Annuities.  Unless the Participant's surviving spouse is the sole designated beneficiary and the form of distribution is a period certain and no life annuity, the period certain for an annuity distribution commencing during the Participant's lifetime may not exceed the applicable distribution period for the Participant under the Uniform Lifetime Table set forth in Section 1.401(a)(9)-9 of the Treasury Regulations for the calendar year that contains the Annuity Starting Date.  If the Annuity Starting Date precedes the year in which the Participant reaches age 70, the applicable distribution period for the Participant is the distribution period for age 70 under the Uniform Lifetime Table set forth in Section 1.401(a)(9)-9 of the Treasury Regulations plus the excess of 70 over the age of the Participant as of the Participant's birthday in the year that contains the Annuity Starting Date.  If the Participant's surviving spouse is the Participant's sole designated beneficiary and the form of distribution is a period certain and no life annuity, the period certain may not exceed the longer of the Participant's applicable distribution period, as determined under this Section 15.4(b), or the joint life and last survivor expectancy of the Participant and the Participant's surviving spouse as determined under the Joint and Last Survivor Table set forth in Section 1.401(a)(9)-9 of the Treasury Regulations, using the Participant's and surviving spouse's attained ages as of the Participant's and surviving spouse's birthdays in the calendar year that contains the Annuity Starting Date.

15.5Requirements For Minimum Distributions Where Participant Dies Before Date Distributions Begin:

(a)Participant Survived by a Spouse.  Except as otherwise provided, if the Participant is survived by a Spouse, the pre-retirement death benefit described in Section 5.5 hereof shall be payable to the Spouse.

(b)No Surviving Spouse.  If the Participant is not survived by a Spouse, no death benefit is payable under this Plan.

15.6Definitions.

(a)Distribution Calendar Year.  A calendar year for which a minimum distribution is required.  For distributions beginning before the Participant's death, the first distribution calendar year is the calendar year immediately preceding the calendar year which contains the Participant's required beginning date.  For distributions beginning after the Participant's death, the first distribution calendar year is the calendar year in which distributions are required to begin pursuant to section 15.2.

15.7REQUIRED BEGINNING DATE AFTER DECEMBER 31, 2019

(b)Delay of Required Beginning Date.  An Affected Participant's RBD shall not be earlier than April 1 of the calendar year following the year the Affected Participant attains age 72.  For purposes of determining an Affected Participant's RBD, an Affected Participant will be treated as a more than 5% owner if he or she was a 5-percent owner (as defined in Code §416(i)(B)) as to the Plan Year ending in the calendar year the Participant attains age 72.

(c)Spousal Distributions.  If an Affected Participant dies prior to the Participant's RBD, and the Participant's sole Designated Beneficiary is the Participant's surviving spouse, then the RMDs to the surviving spouse will begin by December 31 of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which the Participant died, or by December 31 of the calendar year in which the Participant would have attained age 72, if later.

(d)Definitions.  A Participant is an "Affected Participant" if the Participant was born after June 30, 1949.  An "RMD" is a Required Minimum Distribution as described in Code §401(a)(9).  A Participant's "RBD" is the Participant's Required Beginning Date as described in Code §401(a)(9)(C).

15.8BENEFICIARY RMDS ON OR AFTER JANUARY 1, 2020

(a)Effective Date.  Except as provided in Section 15.8(c), Section 15.8 will apply to Participants who die on or after January 1, 2020.

(c)Beneficiary Death.  If an Eligible Designated Beneficiary dies before receiving distribution of the Beneficiary's entire interest in the Participant's account, the Plan will distribute that interest in full no later than December 31 of the 10th year following the year of the Eligible Designated Beneficiary's death.  Similarly, if a Participant died before the effective Date of this Section 15.8, the limitations of this Section 15.8 shall apply to distributions to the beneficiary of the Participant's Designated Beneficiary.

(d)Eligible Designated Beneficiary.  An individual is an "Eligible Designated Beneficiary" of a Participant if the individual qualifies as a designated beneficiary under Code §401(a)(9)(E) and is (1) the Participant's spouse, (2) the Participant's child who has

63


not reached the age of majority (as defined for purposes of Code §401(a)(9)(F), (3) an individual not more than 10 years younger than the Participant, (4) a disabled individual, as defined in Code §72(m)(7), or (5) an individual who has been certified to be chronically ill (as defined in Code §7702B(c)(2)) for a reasonably lengthy period, or indefinitely.  Certain trusts may be treated as Eligible Designated Beneficiaries pursuant to Code §401(a)(9)(H)(iv) and (v).  When a child of the Participant reaches the age of majority, the Plan will distribute the child's account in full no later than 10 years after that date.
