Purchased Period of Credited Service means the period of Purchasable Service that was purchased by a Covered Employee in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.5.

The definition of Year of Credited Service in Section 1.6 shall be revised to read as follows:
THIRD CHANGE

The following new section 3.5 shall be added following Section 3.4:

3.5 Pre-2004 Credited Service Buy-Back

(a) Each Covered Employee who:
(1) is a Participant in the Plan on July 1, 2007;
(2) was a Participant in the Retirement Income Plan prior to January 1, 2004;
(3) experienced a Pre-2004 Break in Service; and
(4) was partially or fully vested in his or her Retirement Income Account at the time of the Pre-2004 Break in Service and received a distribution of his or her vested Retirement Income Account following such Pre-2004 Date Break-In-Service, may elect to purchase credit for up to four (4) years of Purchasable Service in accordance with, and subject to, the provisions of this Section 3.5. A Participant may elect to either purchase the total amount of his or her Purchasable Service (up to a maximum of four (4) years), or if the Participant does not want to purchase credit for all of his or her Purchasable Service, a Participant may purchase credit for part of his or her period of Purchasable Service (in increments of whole months). The Purchased Period of Credited Service shall be taken into account in determining the Participant’s Years of Service and Years of Credited Service in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.5(f).
(b) In order to be effective, an election to purchase credit for Purchasable Service under this Section 3.5 must:
(1) be made on a form supplied by the City for this purpose;
(2) returned to (and the receipt acknowledged by) the Department of Finance on or before 5:00 P.M. (Eastern Time) on October 10, 2007; and
(3) include full amount due for the Purchased Period of Credited Service (as determined under Section 3.5(c)) and/or be accompanied by an irrevocable payroll deduction authorization (on a form supplied by the City for this purpose).
(c) Participants who desire to purchase credit for Purchasable Service must pay:
(1) 50% of the actuarial cost of the additional benefit provided under the Plan with respect to the Purchased Period of Credited Service (up to a maximum of three (3) years).
(2) 100% of the actuarial cost of the additional benefit provided under the Plan with respect to the remaining Purchased Period of Credited Service (i.e., the fourth year).The cost of Purchased Period of Credited Service shall be determined by the Actuary.
(d) Payment for all or any portion of the Purchased Period of Credited Service may be made in a single lump sum by (i) a transfer from a Participant's Retirement Income Account (if any); (ii) a transfer from a Participant's account under any eligible deferred compensation plan (within the meaning of Section 457(b) of the Internal Revenue Code) maintained by the City; (iii) a direct lump sum payment to the Plan; (iv) a direct transfer or rollover from an individual retirement account to the extent permitted by Sections 401 and 408 of the Internal Revenue Code.
(e) In lieu of (or in addition to) a lump sum payment under Section 3.5(d), payment for the Purchased Period of Credited Service may be made through additional Employee Retirement Contributions over a period of up to thirty-six (36) months. To the extent that a Participant elects to pay for the Purchased Period of Credited Service by making additional Employee Retirement Contributions, then the cost of the Purchased Period of Credited Service (as determined under Section 3.5(c)) shall reflect the deferred payment period (computed based on the interest rate used for determining Actuarial Equivalence under Appendix A). In order for this payment option to be effective, the Participant must execute and deliver to the Administrator any required payroll deduction authorizations. In the case of a Participant who has elected to pay for a portion of the Purchased Period of Credited Service in a lump sum under Section 3.5(d) and to pay for the remaining portion through additional Employee Retirement Contributions under this Section 3.5(e), such payroll deduction authorization must be effective as of the payroll period containing the date the partial payment is made under Section 3.5(d).
(f) The Purchased Period of Credited Service shall be taken into account in determining the Participant’s Years of Service and Years of Credited Service in accordance with the following provisions:
(1) One month shall be taken into account for each two completed months of Credited Service following the date payment is made under Section 3.5 (d) or commences under Section 3.5(e). However, the number of months credited under this Section 3.5(f)(1) shall be limited to one-half of the Purchased Period of Credited Service under Section 3.5(c)(1). This provision is designed to provide that a Participant earns the portion of Credited Service that is subsidized under Section 3.5(c)(1) based on the performance of future service, with the result that a Participant who purchases the full three years permitted under Section 3.5(c)(1) will fully earn the subsidized portion of such Purchased Period of Credited Service upon the completion of thirty-six (36) months of Credited Service following the date payment is made or commences.
(2) In addition, upon payment under Section 3.5(d), or as payment is made under Section 3.5(e), the Participant shall be credited with the number of months of the Purchased Period of Credited Service for which the Participant has paid the appropriate portion of the actuarial cost (i.e., one-half of the Purchased Period of Credited Service under Section 3.5(c)(1), and the entire Purchased Period of Credited Service under Section 3.5(c)(2)). For this purpose,
(i) In the case of a Participant that pays for the Purchased Period of Credited Service under Section 3.5(d), the Purchased Period of Credited Service for which the Participant has paid all of the actuarial cost shall be credited upon payment under Section 3.5(d).
(ii) In the case of a Participant that is paying for part of the Purchased Period of Credited Service under Section 3.5(d) and part under Section 3.5(e), the amount credited upon payment under Section 3.5(d) shall be determined by multiplying the total number of months in the Purchased Period of Credited Service for which the Participant is required to pay the actuarial cost by a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount of the payment actually made under Section 3.5(d), and the denominator of which is the total amount due from the Participant under Section 3.5(d) and (e) with respect to the entire Purchased Period of Credited Service. The remaining portion of the Purchased Period of Credited Service for which the Participant is required to pay the actuarial cost shall be credited in accordance with Section 3.5(f)(2)(iii).
(iii) To the extent that full or partial payment is being made under Section 3.5(e), the determination of the extent to which payment has been made shall be made by multiplying the total number of months in the Purchased Period of Credited Service that the Participant is purchasing through additional Employee Retirement Contributions by a fraction, the numerator of which is the total number of payments that have been made by the Participant as of the date the determination is being made, and the denominator of which is the total number of payments that are (or were) to be made by the Participant under Section 3.5(e).
(3) Only full months shall be credited to a Participant. No credit shall be given for partial months.
(4) In the event a Participant ceases to be a Covered Employee for any reason (including Disability or death), or otherwise reaches his or her Termination Date or DROP Effective Date before earning any portion of the Purchased Period of Credited Service in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.5(f), the portion of the Purchased Period of Credited Service which has not been earned by the Participant shall be forfeited.

FOURTH CHANGE

Section 4.2(b)(1) of the Plan is hereby deleted, and the following is substituted in lieu thereof:

(1) On and after the Date of Adoption, each Participant who is classified as a Covered Employee shall make Employee Retirement Contributions to the Plan in an amount equal to (i) 7.5% of the Participant’s Compensation, as reflected in the paycheck the Participant receives from the City, and (ii) the amount of any additional Employee Retirement Contributions that the Participant is obligated to make under Section 3.5(e) with respect to the Purchased Period of Credited Service. Such Employee Retirement Contributions shall continue until the earlier of the Participant’s (1) Termination Date, or (2) DROP Effective Date, and shall be made in accordance with rules established by the Administrator.

The City of Alexandria Firefighters and Police Officers Pension Plan, as in effect on January 1, 2004, and as previously amended by a First, Second and Third Amendment, and as amended by the foregoing changes, is hereby ratified and confirmed in all other respects.

FIFTH AMENDMENT TO THE CITY OF ALEXANDRIA FIREFIGHTERS AND POLICE OFFICERS PENSION PLAN


Pursuant to the powers of amendment reserved under Section 12.1 of The City of Alexandria Firefighters and Police Officers Pension Plan (the “Plan”), said Plan shall be and the same is hereby amended by the City of Alexandria, Virginia (the "City"), effective as of June 12, 2007, as follows:

FIRST CHANGE

Section 5.13 is deleted in its entirety and the following new Section 5.13 inserted in lieu thereof:

5.13 Disability Benefits After Normal Retirement Date
(a) A Participant who reaches his or her Normal Retirement Date shall begin receiving his or her Accrued Pension Benefit in accordance with the provisions of Article 6 and may elect to have his or her Accrued Pension Benefit paid in any of the optional annuity forms permitted under Section 7.2(a) or (b) (but not under Section 7.2(c)). The Actuarial Equivalence of the optional annuity forms shall be determined using the Actuarial Equivalence for Disabled Participants (for determining Actuarial Equivalence under Section 5.13) set forth in Appendix A.
(b) When the Participant reaches his or her Normal Retirement Date, Disability benefits under this Plan shall be recomputed so that the Participant’s Disability benefits under Article 5 and the sum of the Participant’s Accrued Pension Benefit under Article 6 and, if applicable, the amount of his or her City Funded Retirement Income Account (all expressed in the form in which Disability Benefits were payable prior to the Participant's Normal Retirement Date) is actuarially equal in value to the amount of payments that the Participant would have received under Article 5 if the Participant (i) had not been Disabled, (ii) had continued to be employed by the City at the same rank and grade he or she had attained immediately prior to his or her Disability, (iii) for the prior forty-eight (48) months, had received the amount of pay applicable to such rank and grade (including any cost of living wage adjustment granted by the City but ignoring any step increases for such rank and grade), and (iv) had become Disabled and begun receiving Disability Benefits under this Article 5 immediately prior to his or her Normal Retirement Date. If the amount of pay applicable to the Participant’s rank and grade is modified by a change in the City’s compensation or classification system, then the Participant shall be assigned to an equivalent rank and grade within such revised compensation or classification system for purposes of applying the provisions of this Section.
(c) Following such recalculation, the Disability Benefits under Article 5 shall continue to be paid to the Participant following his or her Normal Retirement Date in the same form as such Benefits were being paid prior to the Participant’s Normal Retirement Date (i.e., either in the normal form or under the contingent annuitant option), but only to the extent necessary to provide that the Disability Benefits under Article 5 and the retirement benefits under Article 6 (including for this purpose any retirement benefits payable with respect to the Participant’s City Funded Retirement Income Account) are Actuarially Equivalent to the recalculated Disability Benefits the Participant would have received under Article 5, as computed in accordance with the preceding paragraph. In the event that the Participant’s retirement benefits under Article 6 (including for this purpose any retirement benefits payable with respect to the Participant’s City Funded Retirement Income Account) are equal to or greater than such recalculated Disability Benefit, then all Disability Benefits payable under this Article 5 shall cease on the Participant’s Normal Retirement Date.
(d) For purposes of the determinations required under this Section 5.13:
(1) The amount of retirement income that is payable with respect to a Participant's City Funded Retirement Income Account (based on the value as of the Date of Adoption and any subsequent Investment Adjustments) shall be determined by the Actuary using the Actuarial Equivalence for Disabled Participants (for determining Actuarial Equivalence under Section 5.13) set forth in Appendix A, as in effect at such Normal Retirement Date.
(2) In the case of a Participant whose Accrued Pension Benefit is subject to a qualified domestic relations order (within the meaning of Section 13.3(c)(5)), such qualified domestic relations order shall be ignored in determining the amount of the Participant's Accrued Pension Benefit under Article 6 (so that the Participant's entire Accrued Pension Benefit is taken in account in determining the extent to which the Participant’s retirement benefits are equal to or greater than the Participant's recalculated Disability Benefit and the amount of any Disability Benefit payable to the Participant following his or her Normal Retirement Date).
(3) In the case of a Participant whose Retirement Income Account is subject to a qualified domestic relations order (within the meaning of Section 13.3(c)(5)), such qualified domestic relations order shall be ignored in determining the amount of retirement income that is payable with respect to a Participant's City Funded Retirement Income Account. To the extent that the Participant's Retirement Income Account has been divided into separate accounts pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order, the amount of retirement income that is payable with respect to a Participant's City Funded Retirement Income Account shall be determined by including in the value of the Participant's City Funded Retirement Income Account an amount equal to (i) the portion of the Participant's City Funded Retirement Income Account assigned to the alternate payee, and (ii) imputed earnings on such amount, computed based on the interest rate used for determining Actuarial Equivalence under Appendix A (as in effect on the date such determination is being made), from the date of assignment to the Participant's Normal Retirement Date.

SECOND CHANGE

The second paragraph of Section 5.15 is hereby deleted, and the following is substituted in lieu thereof:
The following new section 5.18 shall be added after Section 5.17: (a) Disabled Participants Who Have Not Reached Normal Retirement Date
(1) Each Participant:
(i) who reached their Disability Retirement Date before June 12, 2007
(ii) who still has a City Funded Retirement Income Account;
(iii) who is currently receiving Disability Benefits under the Plan; and
(iv) who had not reached their Normal Retirement Date as of September 1, 2006, may elect to transfer his or her City Funded Retirement Income Account to the Pension Plan in exchange for retirement income commencing on the Participant's Normal Retirement Date (or in the case of a Participant that has already reached his or her Normal Retirement Date, on the first day of the month following the date of election. The amount of such retirement income shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.18(a)(3) and shall be used to determine the extent to which the Participant's Disability Benefits continue following the Participant's Normal Retirement Date in accordance with Section 5.13. In the case of a Participant who reached his or her Disability Retirement Date before the Date of Adoption, the Participant's Normal Retirement Date shall be determined under the provisions of the Disability Income Plan.
(2) In order to be effective, an election to transfer the Participant's City Funded Retirement Income Account to the Pension Plan in exchange for retirement income commencing on the Participant's Normal Retirement Date under this Section 5.18(a) must be:
(i) made on a form supplied by the City for this purpose;
(ii) irrevocable; and
(iii) returned to (and the receipt acknowledged by) the Department of Finance on or before 5:00 P.M. (Eastern Time) on October 10, 2007.
(3) Upon a Participant's election pursuant to Section 5.18(a)(2) above, the Participant's City Funded Retirement Income Account shall be transferred to and become a part of the Fund and shall be available to provide benefits to all Participants under the defined benefit portion of the Plan. Upon such transfer, the Participant shall be entitled to receive deferred monthly retirement income from the defined benefit portion of the Plan, with such retirement benefit commencing on the Participant's Normal Retirement Date (or in the case of a Participant that has already reached his or her Normal Retirement Date, on the first day of the month following the date of election) and continuing for the remainder of the Participant's life (with no survivor benefits). The amount of such retirement income shall not exceed the amount of the Participant's Disability Benefits as of the Participant's Normal Retirement Date (as recalculated pursuant to Section 5.13 of the Plan or 4.07 of the Disability Income Plan, as the case may be). For this purpose:
(i) The amount of retirement income shall not exceed the Actuarial Equivalent of the Participant's City Funded Retirement Income Account.
(ii) Actuarial Equivalence shall be determined on the Actuarial Equivalence for Disabled Participants (for conversion of City Funded Retirement Income Account under Section 5.18), as set forth in Appendix A.
(iii) In no event may the amount of retirement income purchased with the Participant's City Funded Retirement Income Account exceed the amount of the Participant's Disability Benefits as of the Participant's Normal Retirement Date (as recalculated pursuant to Section 5.13 of the Plan or 4.07 of the Disability Income Plan, as the case may be). If the Participant had previously elected the contingent annuitant option under Section 5.15 of the Plan or Section 5.02 of the Disability Income Plan, as the case may be, then the amount of retirement income purchased with the Participant's City Funded Retirement Income Account shall not exceed the Actuarial Equivalent of the Participant's Disability Benefits as of the Participant's Normal Retirement Date. In the event that the amount of retirement income purchased with a Participant's City Funded Retirement Income Account is limited by the application of this subsection, the excess of the value of the City Funded Retirement Income Account over the amount actually used to purchase retirement income (determined as of the Participant's Normal Retirement Date) shall be re-credited to the Participant's Retirement Income Account. Such amount shall be credited on the Participant's Normal Retirement Date and shall include earnings on such excess based on the interest rate used for determining Actuarial Equivalence under Appendix A (as in effect on the Participant's date of election under Section 5.18(a)(2)) from the date the Retirement Income Account was transferred to the Pension Plan to the Participant's Normal Retirement Date.
(iv) In the case of a Participant who reached his or her Normal Retirement Date after September 1, 2006, the amount of retirement income purchased with the Participant's City Funded Retirement Income Account (and the determination of whether the value of the Participant's City Funded Retirement Income Account exceeds the amount of the Participant's Disability Benefits) shall be made as if the purchase and transfer occurred on the Participant's Normal Retirement Date.
(3) In lieu of the straight life retirement annuity described in Section 5.18(a)(3), a Participant who has not reached his or her Normal Retirement Date may elect, at the time the Participant reaches his or her Normal Retirement Date, to receive monthly retirement income in the form of a joint and survivor option or guaranteed period option, subject to the following restrictions:
(i) Such election shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.2.
(ii) The joint and survivor option shall be limited to the option that provides a monthly income during the Participant’s lifetime and continuing after his or her death at a 50% rate (i.e., the 66 2/3% and 100% survivor options are not available).
(iii) The designated contingent annuitant under the joint and 50% survivor option must be the Participant's Spouse.
(iv) The guaranteed period option shall be limited to the 5 or 10 year guaranteed period option (i.e., the 15 or 20 year guaranteed period options are not available). Any optional form of retirement income elected by a Participant pursuant to this Section 5.18(a)(4) shall be the Actuarial Equivalent of the life annuity described in Section 5.18(a)(3), as determined based on the Actuarial Equivalence for Disabled Participants (for determining Actuarial Equivalence under Section 5.18(a)(4)) set forth in Appendix A.

(b) Participants Who Become Disabled After June 12, 2007
(1) Each Participant:
(i) who reaches their Disability Retirement Date after June 12, 2007;
(ii) has not reached Normal Retirement Date; and
(iii) who still has a City Funded Retirement Income Account; (2) In order to be effective, an election to use the City Funded Retirement Income Account to purchase retirement income commencing on the Participant's Normal Retirement Date under this Section 5.18(b) must be:
(i) made on a form supplied by the City for this purpose;
(ii) irrevocable; and
(iii) returned to (and the receipt acknowledged by) the Department of Finance on or before the first business day that occurs 120 days after the Participant's Disability Retirement Date.
(3) Upon a Participant's election pursuant to Section 5.18(b)(2) above, the Participant's City Funded Retirement Income Account shall be transferred to and become a part of the Fund and shall be available to provide benefits to all Participants under the defined benefit portion of the Plan. Upon such transfer, the Participant shall be entitled to receive deferred monthly retirement income from the defined benefit portion of the Plan, with such retirement benefit commencing on the Participant's Normal Retirement Date and continuing for the remainder of the Participant's life (with no survivor benefits). The amount of such retirement income shall be the Actuarial Equivalent of the Participant's City Funded Retirement Income Account, provided, however, that:
(i) Actuarial Equivalence shall be determined on the Actuarial Equivalence for Disabled Participants (for conversion of the City Funded Retirement Income Account under Section 5.18), as set forth in Appendix A.
(ii) In no event may the amount of retirement income purchased with the Participant's City Funded Retirement Income Account exceed the amount of the Participant's Disability Benefits as of the Participant's Normal Retirement Date (as recalculated pursuant to Section 5.13). If the Participant had previously elected the contingent annuitant option under Section 5.15, then the amount of retirement income purchased with the Participant's City Funded Retirement Income Account shall not exceed the Actuarial Equivalent of the Participant's Disability Benefits as of the Participant's Normal Retirement Date. In the event that the amount of retirement income purchased with a Participant's City Funded Retirement Income Account is limited by the application of this subsection, the excess of the value of the City Funded Retirement Income Account over the amount actually used to purchase retirement income (determined as of the Participant's Normal Retirement Date) shall be re-credited to the Participant's Retirement Income Account. Such amount shall be credited on the Participant's Normal Retirement Date and shall include earnings on such excess based on the interest rate used for determining Actuarial Equivalence under Appendix A (as in effect on the Participant's date of election under Section 5.18(b)(2)) from the date the Retirement Income Account was transferred to the Pension Plan to the Participant's Normal Retirement Date.
