For all purposes of this Agreement, a Domestic Partner shall be treated as a Spouse, or Surviving Spouse, as the case may be, and the term... "Spouse" or "Surviving Spouse" as used herein shall include a Domestic Partner. The purpose of this provision is that, taking into account the provisions of, and payments under the Retirement Plan, Disability and Survivorship Plan and this Agreement, the Key Employee and his or her Domestic Partner shall receive the same amounts (but no more) payable, to the greatest extent possible, in the same form and at the same time, and subject to the same reductions as those amounts payable under such plans and this Agreement as if such Domestic Partner had been the legal Spouse of Key Employee for purposes of the Retirement Plan. Provided however, any such payment is not intended to duplicate monthly survivor benefits made under the Disability and Survivorship Plan to such Domestic Partner and no benefit shall be payable under this Agreement that is payable from the Disability and Survivorship Plan, taking into account the Restrictions, such that the Domestic Partner would receive greater benefits than would have otherwise been payable had the Domestic Partner been a Spouse.
