A General provisions 1 Name and purpose 1.1 Under the name ALSTOM Switzerland Supplementary Insurance Plan, a foundation exists within the context of art. 80 ff of the Swiss Civil Code. 1.2 The purpose of the foundation (hereinafter, the Plan ) is to provide against the economic consequences of old age, death or disability for the employees (and their dependents and survivors) of ALSTOM (Switzerland) Ltd as well as those of any economically or financially associated companies affiliated to the Plan via relevant contract. 2 Definitions 2.1 The pronouns he, she and the inflections thereof as they appear in these Supplementary Insurance Plan Rules (the Rules ) refer equally to persons of the other sex. 2.2 Within the scope of these Rules, the following definitions apply: a) Foundation: The ALSTOM Switzerland Supplementary Insurance Plan in Baden (i.e. the Plan ) b) Company: ALSTOM (Switzerland) Ltd as well as all companies and institutions affiliated with the Plan c) Members: All employees of the company who are insured in accordance with these Rules d) Age of retirement: Age at the time the member takes retirement e) Statutory retirement age: First day of the month after completion of one s 65th year of age f) BVG: Federal Law on Occupational Retirement, Survivors and Disability Benefit Plans g) BVG age: The age represented by the difference between the current calendar year and the year of birth h) Children entitled to a pension: Children up to the completed 18th year of age or, if they are still in formal schooling or have been declared to be at minimum 70% disabled, up to the completed 25th year of age. Foster children who are supported by the member are treated equally in this regard i) Registered partnership: Members living in a registered partnership as per art. 2 of the Federal Law on Registered Partnerships of Same-Sex Couples of 18 June 2004 (Partnership Law) are placed on a par with married members in respect of the rights and obligations deriving from these Rules. To make for easier reading, these Rules refer to married members and to spouses. This is deemed to include persons living in a registered partnership 5

A General provisions 3 Membership 3.1 Membership in the Plan is mandatory for those employees whose income exceeds the income limit as per paragraph 5.1. 3.2 Not accepted as members are those employees: a) who do not (or will foreseeably not continuously) work in Switzerland and are sufficiently insured abroad, provided that they apply for exemption from joining the Plan b) who, upon entering into the employment relationship, have exceeded the statutory retirement age or c) who have been declared to be at minimum 70% disabled 3.3 If pensioners are rehired as employees of the company, they must rejoin the Plan as full-paying members; paragraphs 3.1 and 3.2 remain reserved. 3.4 Employees who, upon admittance to the Plan, are partially unfit to work will be insured only to the degree that corresponds to their ability to work. 3.5 Employees who leave the company may remain in the Plan for as long as they are not enrolled in a new employer s pension scheme. It is then mandatory for contributions to be paid by direct debit. If contributions remain unpaid for 2 months, insurance coverage shall cease and the vested benefit will become payable. The new employer must be in agreement with given individual s remaining in the Plan. In all cases, specific agreements are to be reached with regard to the future structure of the insurance relationship. 4 Beginning and termination of insurance coverage 4.1 Membership commences when the conditions of paragraphs 3.1 and 5.1 are satisfied, but not earlier than the BVG age of 25. 4.2 Insurance coverage ceases at the time the employment relationship ends, pro - vided that no claims for retirement or disability benefits exist or if coverage is to continue within the context of paragraph 3.5. Insurance coverage against the risks of death and disability continues for 1 month subsequent to the end of the employment relationship, provided that the departing individual has not already entered into a new pension arrangement. 6

A General provisions 5 Insured portion of salary 5.1 Deemed to be the insured portion of salary is that part of a member s income in excess of the income limit defined by the Board of Trustees. The company decides what is considered to be income in this regard. Remuneration for work done for companies that are not affiliated to the Pension Fund cannot be counted towards the relevant annual salary. 5.2 The income limit and the maximum insured portion of salary are reviewed annually by the Board of Trustees, and adjusted as necessary. 5.3 If the salary of a member is reduced for reasons other than partial disability, with the agreement of the company the previous insured portion of salary may remain unchanged, provided that contributions pursuant to paragraphs 21.1 and 21.2 continue to be paid as before. 5.4 If the income limit is increased without a corresponding rise in income, the insured portion of the salary will be reduced. If, as a result of an increase in the income limit, there is no longer any insured portion of salary, insurance coverage will be suspended, whereas existing savings capital will continue to accrue in accordance with paragraphs 6.3 and 6.4. 6 Savings capital and savings credits 6.1 A personal retirement account is administered for each member. The savings capital consists of: a) the credited contributions plus interest b) the accumulated savings credits plus interest c) the savings credits for the current year d) less withdrawals including the related interest 6.2 Annual savings credits are calculated on the basis of the insured salary and the age of the member in accordance with one of the contributions tables included in Appendix I. 6.3 The rate of interest is determined annually by the Board of Trustees. It may also be set to zero. 6.4 Provided the annual financial statements show a surplus and the financial situation of the Supplementary Insurance Plan permits, every year at year-end the Board of Trustees decides the amount of any interest bonus payable. This interest bonus ist credited to the retirement accounts as of 31 December of the relevant year. Entitled to receive such bonus are employees who were members of the Plan on 31 December of the relevant year. Members who left during that year have no entitlement to any such interest bonus. Calculation of the interest and interest bonus is based on: a) the declared sum of savings capital in the Plan as at 1 January of the relevant year b) the time and amount of contributions credited during the relevant year c) the time and amount of withdrawals made during the relevant year 7

B Benefits provided by the Plan Retirement benefits 7 Pension/savings capital 7.1 Retirement (age 58 to 70) The entitlement to receive retirement benefits arises when employment ceases at the age of retirement, as a general rule after completion of the member s 63rd year of age; members drawing a disability pension are entitled to receive retirement benefits upon reaching the statutory retirement age (65). At their express wish, members may opt to take early retirement, however at the earliest upon completion of their 58th year of age 1). Alternatively, in consultation with the employer, they may reduce their rate of work and assert their right to receive retirement benefits. 1) For members who already belonged to the ALSTOM Switzerland Pension Fund on 31 December 2005, age 55 applies up until 2010. Furthermore, the possibility exists to postpone retirement at latest until the member has completed his or her 70th year of age, provided the employer is in agreement. Notice of retirement must be given at least 6 months in advance. Retirement benefits may be drawn in the form of a capital payment or a pension. Married members requesting a payout of retirement capital must have the request signed by their spouse and notarised. Unmarried members must provide evidence of their unmarried status in the form of a recently issued official document (e.g. residency certificate). Upon withdrawal of the full sum of the savings capital in the form of a capital payment, all of the member s claims against the Plan expire. Upon retirement, members also have the possibility to draw only a portion of their savings capital in the form of a capital payment. If a partial withdrawal of the savings capital is made in such a manner, the member s retirement pension and other insured benefits are reduced by the proportion such withdrawn capital represents in comparison to the total savings capital available. The retirement pension is calculated at the time of retirement on the basis of the available savings capital and the conversion rate. The conversion rate is determined by the Board of Trustees and can be seen in the following table. The Board of Trustees regularly checks that the conversion rates are up to date. These are interpolated to reflect the precise month of the member s actual age at the time of retirement. 8

B Benefits provided by the Plan Age at time Retirement in year, conversion rate in % of retirement 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 58 5.73 5.62 5.52 5.45 5.40 59 5.87 5.75 5.63 5.60 5.55 60 6.03 5.89 5.75 5.70 5.65 61 6.19 6.03 5.87 5.85 5.80 62 6.40 6.20 6.00 5.95 5.90 63 6.50 6.30 6.15 6.10 6.05 64 6.60 6.45 6.30 6.25 6.20 65 6.70 6.60 6.50 6.45 6.40 66 6.84 6.74 6.65 6.60 6.50 67 7.03 6.94 6.84 6.75 6.60 68 7.22 7.14 7.04 6.90 6.70 69 7.41 7.34 7.26 7.05 6.80 70 7.60 7.54 7.50 7.20 7.05 7.2 Staged retirement With the consent of the company, members may take partial retirement or, as it were, a staged approach to retirement. Following partial retirement, it is compulsory that the degree of employment be reduced to a level corresponding to the percent of retirement taken. The time difference between 2 stages of retirement must be at least 12 months. Exceptions in this regard may be granted by the Board of Trustees. The possibility to make a partial or total withdrawal of savings capital exists for a maximum of 2 such stages of partial retirement. The provisions laid out in paragraph 7.1 apply analogously. 8 Pensioner s child benefit 8.1 Recipients of a retirement pension are entitled to receive a pensioner s child benefit for any eligible children they have, provided they had the child (born, adopted, etc.) before reaching retirement age. 8.2 The annual pensioner s child benefit for each eligible child amounts to 20% of the retirement pension drawn. 8.3 Such claim continues to exist for as long as the given child remains eligible (see paragraph 2.2 h). 9

B Benefits provided by the Plan Benefits upon disability 9 Disability pension 9.1 Within the scope of legal provisions, members are entitled to a disability pension if they become at least 40% disabled as defined by the Federal Disability Insurance (IV) and provided they are insured under the Plan at the onset of the incapacity for work that led to their disability. Provided that the member has already registered with the IV, the Board of Trustees may, on the basis of a certificate from a doctor of its choice, decide to pay a disability pension prior to the member s receiving IV insurance benefits. These benefits are treated as an advance payment and must be repaid to the Pension Fund if the IV does not grant a pension entitlement. 9.2 For members who are working abroad on behalf of the company and are not covered by Swiss Federal Disability Insurance, the Board of Trustees may, on the basis of a certificate issued by a recognised authority, decide to pay a disability pension without requiring a formal IV decree. 9.3 The right to receive disability benefits arises at the same time as the right to an IV pension. However, pension payments are deferred for as long as the member is receiving a salary or salary replacement benefits (especially compensating health or accident insurance benefits). Entitlement to a disability pension ceases with the end of the disability or upon the member s death, at latest however at statutory retirement age. 9.4 The amount of disability pension to which the member is entitled is determined by the IV disability scale as follows: Degree of disability Pension level a) At least 70% disabled Full pension b) At least 60% disabled Three-quarter pension c) At least 50% disabled Half pension d) At least 40% disabled Quarter pension The Board of Trustees may take into account changes in the degree of disability that are not, or not immediately, recognised by the IV. It may also order a medical examination by a doctor of its choice. The entitlement to a pension may be changed on the basis of such examination. In the event that a recipient of a disability pension refuses to undergo medical examination, the Board of Trustees may declare the pension entitlements forfeit. 9.5 The annual full disability pension amounts to 65% of the insured salary. Once payment of the disability pension commences, the member s savings capital continues to accrue via savings credits that are based on the most recent insured salary and calculated in accordance with the Standard contributions table shown in Appendix I, together with interest and interest bonuses, until the statutory retirement age has been reached. This savings capital then serves as the basis for determining the retirement benefits. 9.6 In the case of partial disability, the member s savings capital available at the onset of the disability is divided up in a manner that reflects the pension level received. The portion of savings capital corresponding to the member s per - centage capacity to work continues to accrue in the same manner as for fully able-bodied members. 10

B Benefits provided by the Plan 10 Disabled person s child benefit 10.1 Recipients of a disability pension are entitled to receive a disabled person s child benefit for any eligible children they have. 10.2 The annual disabled person s child benefit for each eligible child amounts to 20% of the disability pension paid out. 10.3 Such claim continues to exist for as long as the given child remains eligible (see paragraph 2.2 h). Death benefits 11 Spouse s pension, lump-sum payment 11.1 The surviving spouse of a member or of a pensioner is entitled to a spouse s pension if he or she must financially support one or more eligible children or has completed the 40th year of age. If a spouse who is not yet 40 draws an IV disability pension, then the Board of Trustees may also grant that individual a spouse s pension. 11.2 Surviving spouses who fulfil none of the conditions laid down in paragraph 11.1 are entitled to a single lump-sum payment equal to 5 times the annual amount of the spouse s pension. 11.3 Entitlement to a spouse s pension commences upon cessation of a deceased member s retirement or disability pension payments or, as the case may be, when salary payments cease. Entitlement expires at the end of the month of death or upon remarriage, provided the spouse has at that time not yet completed his or her 60th year of age. If the spouse s pension ceases owing to remarriage, the spouse is entitled to a lump-sum settlement equal to 3 times the annual amount of the spouse s pension. 11.4 Upon the death of the member prior to the statutory retirement age, the spouse s pension amounts to 39% of the insured salary and is payable until the member would have reached the statutory retirement age. Afterwards, it amounts to 60% of the implied retirement pension. At that time, the surviving spouse may opt to receive instead of such pension a single lump-sum payment equal to 60% of the deceased member s implied savings capital. Used in determining this theoretical retirement pension is the deceased member s net savings capital (savings capital minus the deceased member s personal buy-ins into the foundation) that would have accrued on the basis of his/her most recent insured salary, with savings credits accumulating in accordance with the Standard contributions table shown in Appendix I, together with interest and interest bonuses, until the deceased member would have reached the statutory retirement age. Upon the death of a pensioner, the spouse s pension amounts to 60% of the most recent retirement pension of the deceased individual. 11

B Benefits provided by the Plan 11.5 The rules governing spouse s pensions also apply to divorced spouses, provided the former marriage lasted at least 10 years. Benefits paid by the Fund do not exceed the BVG statutory minimum. They are also limited to the amount by which the maintenance/alimony payment established in the divorce decree exceeds the benefits payable by AHV and any foreign social security insurance. 11.6 At the time of retirement or, as it were, of drawing the retirement pension, members have the option to increase the prospective spouse s pension. As a consequence, the retirement pension will be reduced for the pensioner s lifetime in accordance with the technical principles applied by the Plan. The increased spouse s pension may not be higher than the reduced retirement pension. This reduction pertains to the retirement pension only; the pensioner s child be nefit remains unchanged. The reduction will remain in force even if the spouse predeceases the pensioner. 12 Partner s pension, lump-sum payment 12.1 If an unmarried member dies, the following persons are entitled to a partner s pension: a) the unmarried partner of an unmarried, legally unrelated member, provided the partner is 40 or older and cohabitated continuously with the member for at least 5 years prior to the member s death b) the unmarried partner of an unmarried member, provided the surviving partner must support children (up to the age of 25) that the couple had together c) individuals who have been supported to large extent by the deceased member and who are at least 40 years of age. A prerequisite for any claim in this regard is that such support lasted for a minimum of 5 years and was reported to the Plan by means of the appropriate form prior to the member s death. At maximum, benefits paid in this regard by the Plan correspond to the amount of support no longer provided Partners of unmarried pensioners are only entitled to receive a partner s pension if the partnership was already entered into prior to the pensioner s 60th year of age. 12.2 A maximum of one partner s pension may be paid out. If more than one person fulfils the criteria set out in paragraph 12.1, the partner s pension may be split between them. Any such person must have been identified by the deceased member as a partner. If this is not the case, the Board of Trustees shall decide. 12.3 Application must be made at latest within 3 months of the member s death. The beginning, end and size of the pension are determined by the same criteria as set out in paragraph 11. If the criteria under paragraph 12.1 are not fulfilled, there is no entitlement to a settlement pursuant to paragraph 11.2. The partner s pension will be reduced by any spouse s or partner s pensions that are currently being paid. 12

B Benefits provided by the Plan 13 Orphans pension 13.1 Upon the death of a member or pensioner, his or her eligible children are entitled to draw an orphan s pension. 13.2 The annual orphan s pension for each eligible child amounts to 20% of the insured full disability pension or, as the case may be, 20% of the retirement pension that was paid. The orphan s pension is doubled for orphans bereaved of both parents. 13.3 Entitlement to an orphan s pension commences upon the cessation of retirement or disability pension payments or, as the case may be, when salary payments cease. Entitlement continues for as long as the given child remains eligible to receive such pension (see paragraph 2.2 h). 14 Death benefit 14.1 A capital sum is payable upon the death of a member. Entitled to receive payment of such are the member s survivors, irrespective of right of inheritance, in the following amount and order of precedence: a) in the full amount: the member s spouse, and their children under the age of 25, failing them b) in the full amount: partners or persons who were supported to a substantial degree by the deceased member prior to his or her death (as per paragraph 12.1), failing them c) in the full amount: other children or parents of the deceased, failing them d) in half the amount: the other legal heirs of the deceased member, excluding the state 14.2 By written instruction addressed to the Plan, members may stipulate which persons among the eligible group are entitled to receive the death benefit, and in which proportions. If no such instructions are given, the death benefit will fundamentally be distributed in equal portions among the eligible group. The Board of Trustees may opt for an alternative regulation in this regard. 14.3 If death occurs prior to retirement, the death benefit is equal to the deceased member s accrued net savings capital (savings capital minus the deceased member s personal buy-ins into the Pension Fund) reduced by the costs of funding the survivors benefits, but at least 100% of the insured salary. Subsequent to retirement, the death benefit is equal to twice the annual retirement pension, reduced by the retirement pension payments received. 13

B Benefits provided by the Plan Additional provisions 15 Vested benefit 15.1 Insurance coverage ceases upon termination of the employment relationship, provided no claim exists for Plan benefits under these Rules. If savings capital has accrued, the member is entitled to receive the relevant vested benefit. 15.2 The amount of the vested benefit is calculated in accordance with the defined contribution principle. It is equal to the member s available savings capital plus the capital available from the buy-in plan. 15.3 The death and disability benefits insured at the time employment ceases remain insured without change until such time as the individual begins a new pension arrangement, but at most for the period of 1 month. If the Plan becomes obligated to pay benefits after the vested benefit has already been paid out and no repayment of the latter amount has been made, the individual s savings capital will be reduced by a corresponding amount. 15.4 The vested benefit is transferred to the occupational benefits plan of the indi - vidual s new employer. In the absence of such a fund, the member may opt to transfer the vested benefit to a specially designated vested benefit account or use it to purchase a vested benefit insurance policy. Should the individual fail to provide appropriate notification, the vested benefit will be automatically remitted to the BVG Suppletory Institution 6 months after his or her departure. 15.5 Departing members may request cash payment of the vested benefit if: a) they are leaving Switzerland and the Principality of Liechtenstein permanently or b) they become self-employed and are no longer subject to mandatory occupational insurance or c) the vested benefit is less than the member s annual contribution For married members, cash payment of the vested benefit is permitted only with the spouse s written consent. The signature of the latter must be notarised. Unmarried members must provide evidence of their unmarried status in the form of a recently issued official document (e.g. residency certificate). 15.6 Furthermore, the Federal Law on Vested Pension Benefits, as well as Switzerland s bilateral agreements with the European Union, shall apply in this regard. 15.7 For the duration of an underfunding, the calculation of exit benefits pursuant to art. 17 FZG is based on the interest rate determined by the Board of Trustees for the savings capital rather than on the BVG minimum rate. 14

B Benefits provided by the Plan 16 Payment of pensions 16.1 Pensions are paid in advance in monthly instalments. The full pension is paid out for the month in which entitlement ceases. Upon the death of a recipient of a retirement or disability pension, entitlement to payment of the related pension ceases only 2 months after the month of death. 16.2 If, at the time of drawing a pension, the annual pension or the sum of annual pensions is less than 10% of the minimum AHV pension, a lump-sum capital settlement calculated according to actuarial rules will be paid out in place of such pension(s). 17 Cost-of-living adjustment to benefits 17.1 The Board of Trustees decides on an annual basis whether and to what extent pensions can be increased within the realm of financial possibilities of the Plan. To this purpose, the assets of the Plan are deployed in a manner favourable to members and pensioners (see paragraph 23.4 a). 18 Overinsurance and reduction of benefits 18.1 If the survivors or disability benefits payable by the Plan, aggregated with the benefits of a different occupational benefits plan, the AHV/IV, accident or military insurance or foreign social security schemes, result in a pension income that exceeds 90% of the presumed lost income, the pensions to be paid out by the Plan may be reduced until such limit is no longer exceeded. The same provision shall likewise apply to the insurance schemes for which the company has paid at least one half of the premium. The additional earned income, or income that could reasonably be earned, by recipients of disability benefits may be taken into account in this regard. In determining the income that could reasonably be earned, the income that a person could be expected to earn as an able-bodied person ( able-bodied income ) and the income they could be expected to earn as a disabled person ( disabled person s income ), and the residual earning capacity of the recipient of the benefits as per the IV Decision will always be taken as a basis. The retirement benefits shall be reduced only if they coincide with benefits paid under accident and/or military insurance. In such an instance, the reduced retirement benefits will correspond at minimum to the given member s total contributions at the time he or she became disabled. Lump-sum settlements or, as the case may be, capital payments are converted into actuarially equivalent pensions. 15

B Benefits provided by the Plan 18.2 Persons entitled to benefits in the event of death or disability are required to surrender to the Plan their claims against any liable third party, up to the amount of the Plan s benefit obligations vis-à-vis such entitled persons. 18.3 The Plan may reduce its benefits by a corresponding degree if AHV/IV or the accident or military insurers reduce, withdraw or refuse the payment of benefits because the beneficiary has caused his or her death or disability through gross negligence or refuses to undergo rehabilitation measures. 19 Promotion of home ownership 19.1 Within the scope of the relevant legal provisions, members may use their savings capital to purchase residential property. 19.2 The Board of Trustees adopts the necessary implementing provisions in this regard. 16

C Funding 20 Obligation to contribute 20.1 The obligation to make contributions commences upon acceptance into the Plan and continues until the member s retirement, departure from the Plan or death. 20.2 For those members who are disabled, the obligation to contribute is reduced in accordance with the relevant breakdown (as per paragraph 9.4). 20.3 Members contributions are deducted by the company from their salary, sick pay or compensatory salary, and transferred to the Plan in monthly instalments together with the company s contributions. 21 Amount of contributions 21.1 Members have 3 contributions tables from which to choose: Standard, Standard plus and Standard minus. Members may choose each year the contributions table according to which they wish to contribute in the following year, for effect as of 1 January. The Standard contributions table applies if the Plan has not received written notification of the member s choice. Once a decision has been taken, it shall continue to apply until changed by the member. 21.2 The company pays a contribution according to the contributions table shown in Appendix I. This contribution is composed of the age-dependent savings credits, as well as a contribution of 3.5% of the member s insured salary for the risks of death and disability and also for other expenses. 22 Personal payments 22.1 Within the scope of the relevant legal provisions, members may at any time make payments into the Pension Fund in order to increase their retirement benefits. The Pension Fund shall determine the related buy-in limit by applying re cognised principles (see buy-in table in Appendix II). Any vested assets or pillar 3a assets are deducted from the buy-in limits shown in Appendix II. For members who move to Switzerland from abroad and who have never been in a Swiss pension scheme, the restrictions set out in art. 60b BVV 2 also apply. If death occurs prior to retirement, the sum of the deceased member s personal buy-ins into the Pension Fund plus interest will be paid to the beneficiaries pursuant to paragraphs 14.1 and 14.2 in addition to the death benefit pursuant to paragraph 14.3. 17

C Funding 22.2 The member can make up the reduction in benefits resulting from early retirement by paying deposits into an interest-bearing buy-in plan account in accordance with Appendix III. Interest on this account will be determined analogously to paragraph 6.3. Deposits to the buy-in plan account are only possible if: a) the member has transferred all vested benefits from earlier pension schemes into the Plan b) the member has bought in the full benefits of the Basic plan (Appendix II) c) the member is at least 25 years of age and the maximum amount specified in the table in Appendix III has not yet been reached d) all withdrawals for home ownership have first been paid back The capital accrued in the buy-in plan is payable on retirement, and can be drawn either as a lump-sum payment or as a pension in accordance with the technical principles of the Plan. If the member has made buy-ins for early retirement but does not take early retirement, the balance of the buy-ins is forfeited to the pension scheme if the retirement benefit would be more than 5% higher than that of a member who has made no buy-ins for early retirement. When withdrawals are made for home ownership or to pay divorce-related benefits, capital from the buy-in plan is used first. 22.3 If a buy-in is made, the resulting benefits may not be withdrawn from the Plan in the form of capital for a period of 3 years. If early withdrawals have been made in connection with the promotion of home ownership, voluntary buy-ins may be made only once such withdrawals have been repaid. Exempted from this limitation are buy-ins made in the case of divorce. 18

C Funding 23 Assets, financial equilibrium and segregated funds 23.1 The Plan s assets are to be prudently invested. The Board of Trustees determines the investment strategy. The composition of the invested assets must comply with relevant legal provisions. Sufficient liquid assets must be maintained to cover the ongoing outlays of the Plan. 23.2 The Board of Trustees appoints annually an accredited occupational benefits expert to conduct an actuarial audit of the Plan on the principles of the fundedsystem method for a closed pension fund. 23.3 If the actuarial balance sheet reveals an underfunding which threatens the security of benefits payable under these Rules, the Board of Trustees shall implement any measures it deems necessary. In particular, and as long as the legal provisions are complied with, the Board of Trustees may take the following steps: n n n n Remedial contributions may be levied as a percentage of insured salary. The company s remedial contributions must be at least as high as the members contributions. Remedial contributions may in principle be levied until the underfunding is corrected. The Board of Trustees shall determine the size of the contributions and the dates on which they begin and end. Future or, if necessary, acquired insurance benefits may be reduced as appropriate. Early withdrawals to repay mortgage loans may be refused during a period of underfunding. The Board of Trustees shall decide when this restriction is imposed and when it is lifted. The company can put funds into a separate employer contribution reserve account with usage restrictions. If the financial underpinnings of the Pension Fund are put at risk by exceptional circumstances such as war, epidemics, loss of assets, etc., the Board of Trustees may as a precautionary measure reduce acquired, current and future benefits. 23.4 a) The Plan maintains a segregated fund for the benefit of members and pensioners. Credited to this fund are: n revenue surpluses on the portion of the assets reserved for members n revenue surpluses on the portion of the assets reserved for pensioners n risk profits on the insurance of pensioners Debited to this fund are: n interest bonus payments n pension increases (capitalised) n risk losses on the insurance of pensioners b) The Plan also maintains a risk fluctuation fund; credited or, as it were, debited to this fund are profits/losses on the risk insurance of members. 19

D Organisation and administration 24 Board of Trustees 24.1 The Board of Trustees is the sole official body of the Plan. It is composed of 3 to 5 trustees who, except as provided under paragraph 24.2, are appointed by ALSTOM (Switzerland) Ltd. All employees of the companies affiliated with the Plan are capable of being elected to the Board of Trustees, provided the given candidate is interested in matters related to occupational benefits, possesses a basic knowledge in such matters, and has a command of the German language. 24.2 The entire body of members elects from its midst one individual to represent them on the Board of Trustees. The Board of Trustees enacts rules on how representatives of Plan members are to be elected to the Board. 24.3 The term of office of trustees is 4 years, and re-election is possible. If an employee representative leaves the company, the company shall decide whether his or her term of office is to end. In the case of such a premature departure, a by-election is to be held. The newly elected trustee then completes his or her predecessor s term of office. The employee representatives may remain on the Board of Trustees beyond their retirement until their term of office expires. 24.4 The Chairman of the Board of Trustees is appointed by ALSTOM (Switzerland) Ltd.

E Concluding provisions 30 Changes/entry into force 30.1 Within the scope of the relevant legal provisions and the purpose of the Plan, the Board of Trustees may amend these Rules at any time. Entitlements already acquired by beneficiaries are not affected by a subsequent amendment of these Rules.
