    Chancellor YudofPage 3coverage amount of $1 ,000,000 under the University's program. Please see theenclosure to this letter for a brief description of these various programs.

    6. Retirement PlansI will be recommending to The Regents that the University provide you with aSupplemental Retirement Benefit (SRB) provided primarily under theUniversity's defined benefit retirement plan, the University ofCalifomiaRetirement Plan (UCRP) and will be in lieu of the basic UCRP benefit for yourfirst seven years ofUniversity employment.. 1 This SRB would provide anannuity that annually increases over your first seven years ofUniversityemployment to produce a benefit of an individual life annuity of $350,000.2 YourSRB will be immediately vested and will accrue at the end of each year to providethe following annual benefits as of the end ofYears 1-7: Year 1-$29,554; Year 2$60,217; Year 3-$92,029; Year 4-$127,307; Year 5-$230,000; Year 6-$300,000;and Year 7-$350,000 (In other words, if you terminate employment after Year 3,your annual retirement annuity will be $92,029, or if you terminate employmentafter Year 7, your annual retirement annuity will be $350,000.) For anyadditional years of University employment after Year 7, your retirement benefitswill accrue at the basic UCRP rate, currently 2.5% of the average of the highestthree years of covered compensation (under the normal UCRP formula) to theextent such benefit exceeds the previously accrued SRB amount of $350,000.As part of your compensation package and in addition to the regular funding ofUCRP benefits, additional funding will be provided by UC for the first sevenyears of your University employment to produce the promised SRB. Suchcontributions, in addition to normal UCRP funding amounts, for the first sevenyears will be: $228,000; $237,256; $246,487; $256,065; $266,001; $229,673;$229,673. You will be required to make mandatory employee contributions asrequired under UCRP. Currently, employee contributions are redirected fromUCRP to the University ofCalifomia Defined Contribution Plan (the "DC Plan").Your mandatory DC Plan contributions, based on your salary, will be made toyour account under the DC Plan until such time that such contributions aredirected back to UCRP. Your mandatory contributions will be made at thecurrent rate of: 2% of salary up to the Social Security wage base (currently$102,000), and 4% of salary over the Social Security wage base, less $19 amonth. The contributions being redirected to the DC Plan are on a pre-tax basisand you can direct the investment of your account under the DC Plan.You will also be eligible for the survivor benefits coverage under UCRP. Thisfeature of the plan provides an individual who has at least two years of University

    \1 UCRP currently provides basic retirement benefits, at age 60 or over, of2.5% of average compensation;for the high three years, subject to a five year vesting schedule. The University estimates that the basic\UCRP benefit would be less than the SRB for your first seven years of employment and, therefore, the~ i s c u s s i o n references your basic UCRP benefit after year seven when the SRB accruals cease.o If necessary, another retirement plan may be used to provide this benefit.

    Chancellor YudofPage 4employment, but less than five years when he dies (and is an active member at hisdeath), a pre-retirement survivor benefit to his spouse equal to 25% of theemployee's monthly final salary (minus $106.40 as an offset for social security).If you have five or more years of University employment at death, (and you areactive, disabled or an inactive member ofUCRP), your spouse will be entitled tothe greater of final salary benefit described above or the benefit the spouse wouldbe entitled to under UCRP as though you had retired the day before death andelected a full joint and survivor with your spouse as the contingent annuitant. (TheSRB discussed above would be used to calculate a surviving spouse benefit afterfive or more years of employment with the University.)In addition to the required employee contributions to the DC Plan, you will alsobe eligible to participate and defer a portion of your salary to the University ofCalifornia Tax Deferred 403(b) Plan and the University of California 457(b)Deferred Compensation under the terms of those plans.For advice and assistance concerning your coverage under these University-wideemployee benefit programs, as well as any special benefit arrangements that mayapply in your case, please feel free to contact either Associate Vice President ofHuman Resources and Benefits, Judy Boyette at (510) 987-0301 [email protected] or Executive Director ofSenior ManagementCompensation, Policy and Recruiting, Dennis Larsen at (510) 987-0299 [email protected].

    7. Sabbatical LeaveIf your appointment is approved by The Regents and you seek and obtain afaculty appointment, you will accrue sabbatical credits as does any member of thefaculty under the University's sabbatical policy found in the Academic PersonnelManual at APM 740 and APM 758 (APM 740:http://www.ucop.edu/acadadv/acadpers/apm/apm-740.pdf and APM 758:http://www.ucop.edulacadadv/acadpers/apm/apm-758.pdf). After earningsufficient credits to qualify for a leave, you will be eligible to take sabbaticalleave in accordance with these same academic policies.I would like to highlight a couple of points about the current sabbatical policy.Should you hold a full time administrative position for five years or more andqualify for sabbatical leave at the end of your tenure as President, you will beallowed to take a leave immediately following your service as President. Thisleave will be in lieu of a sabbatical leave and will be classified as anadministrative leave, in accordance with University policy. Your salary levelduring this leave will be at the rate of your Presidential salary. As required bypolicy, should you choose to take administrative leave, you will be required toreturn to University service directly following that leave for a period at least equalto the period of the leave.
