Part II WILMER, CUTLER & PICKERING RETIREMENT PLAN The Plan provides essentially for a retiring partner to receive monthly payments for the rest of the partner's life, provided only that the partner does not directly compete with Wilmer, Cutler & Pickering in the practice of law. Payments are calculated at the time of a partner's retirement and are fixed at an amount which (annually) equals 25 percent of the partner's average annual income for the partner's last three years. There is no occasion for upward adjustment ofretirement payments, except that adjustments will be mde to reflect increases in the cost of living if and to the extent cumulative inflation exceeds 4 percent in a year. There is no occasion for downward adjustment, except that the firm's annual obligation to all retired partners together is capped at 5 percent of firm income. The Retirement Plan has no provision for payment of a lump sum in lieu of periodic payments.
