EXHIBIT 10.6
FMC Corporation Salaried Employees' Equivalent Retirement Plan
(As Amended and Restated Effective as of January 1, 2000)
Section 1. Establishment and Purposes of the Plan. The FMC Salaried Employees' Equivalent Retirement Plan
(the "Plan") was established effective January 1, 1976 by FMC Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("FMC").
The purpose of the Plan is to provide employees of FMC and its affiliated companies that have adopted the Plan
(collectively, the "Employer") with the retirement benefits they would have received under the Part I - Salaried
and Non-Union Hourly Employee's Retirement Plan of the FMC Corporation Employees' Retirement Program
(the "Salaried Retirement Plan"), but for the limitations of Sections 401(a)(17) and 415 of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and but for the fact that amounts an employee defers under the FMC
Corporation Non-Qualified Savings and Investment Plan are not pensionable earnings under the Salaried
Retirement Plan. This document represents an amendment and restatement of the Plan, effective as of January 1,
2000.
Section 2. Participants. An employee of any Employer who is an active participant in the Salaried Retirement
Plan will become a "Participant" on the day he or she becomes entitled to an Excess Benefit under Section 3.
Once an individual is a Participant, he or she will remain a Participant until his or her entire Excess Benefit has
been paid.
Section 3. Excess Benefit. Each employee of an Employer who is an active participant in the Salaried Retirement
Plan will be entitled to receive an "Excess Benefit" equal to the amount, if any, by which his or her accrued benefit
under the Salaried Retirement Plan is reduced:
(a) to comply with the limitations of Section 415 of the Code;
(b) because his or her pensionable earnings exceed the annual compensation limit under Code Section 401(a)
(17), as adjusted (for 2000, $170,000); and
(c) because deferred compensation is not included in the definition
