Application of Benefit Provisions

8.01 - The eligibility for, and amount of, a benefit provided herein for any Participant, Surviving Spouse or other Beneficiary, if any, shall be based upon the terms of the Plan in effect at the Participant's Termination Date and shall not be affected by any amendment which is effective thereafter unless retroactive effect is expressly stated in the amendment; provided, however, that benefit payments to a Participant, Surviving Spouse or other Beneficiary shall be paid in the form and at the time described in Section 7 for such payments. A Participant or Beneficiary shall not be eligible for more than one benefit under the Plan or payment of the benefit in more than one form hereunder, and the benefit provisions and forms of payment shall be mutually exclusive to that extent. The preceding sentence does not apply to the continuing benefit for a Surviving Spouse or other Contingent Annuitant, the Supplemental Spouse Pension, the disability benefit, the Minimum Benefit, all of which shall be paid as provided herein, or to receipt of a benefit as a Participant and a different benefit as the Beneficiary (including Surviving Spouse) of another Participant.
