tions originally would have been made to the date the contributions were
made. The total amount of retroactive Participant contributions for such
period(s) may be repaid either: (1) in a lum sum; or (2) by payroll
deduction at an additional rate of interest of five percent (5%) on any
unpaid balance canpounded monthly, plus $4.00 for each pay period during
which any unpaid balance remains outstanding. In addition to the fore-
going, each Participant who elects to repay contributions to the Plan pur-
suant to this Section 8.6 shall pay a one time fee of $100 in a lump sum to
the Plan's actuary for purposes of calculating the amount to be repaid to
the Plan for retroactive Participant contributions. The full amount of
such repayment, whether in a lump sum or by payroll deduction, must be made
to the Plan no later than the earliest to occur of the following: (1) if
in a lump sum, prior to (a) the Participant's attainment of age 60, or
(b) the payment of the first monthly benefit amount fran the Plan to the

(b) the payment of the first monthly benefit amount frau -the Plan to the
Participant; provided, however, that there shall be no prepayment penalty.
The full payment of retroactive Participant contributions, which must
include payment for all periods of previous employment together with the
specified interest, shall result in restoration of the Participant's Past
Service Credit or Future Service Credit for the corresponding period. If
the Participant shall die or beccne disabled prior to canpleting repayment,
the period of service used to calculate the Participant's montly benefit
shall include only the amount of service purchased by the Participant up to
the date of death or disability, as determined by the Retirement CaM ittee.
If a Participant shall terminate employment prior to completing repayment,
any Past Service Credit or Future Service Credit purchased shall be for-
feited and the amount of payments made prior to the date of termination
shall be refunded unless the Participant elects to pay the remaining amount
of retroactive Participant contributions in a lump sum within 30 days of
his date of termination.
