Default Lookup Question with multiple dynamic variables

I have a data range called Benefits where the top row is named BenefitHeader.
(Benefits does not include the top row). The data looks something like this:

Name Owner Terminated Var1
LTC 0 12/31/2007 TRUE
LTC 0 TRUE
SRP 1 12/31/2007 EP
SRP 0 EP
SRP 1 S162
SRP 0 S162

I need to be able to lookup based on Name and any one or two of the other
columns within the named range (Currently, the columns used are A:IE and more
could be added at any time). To do a single lookup value I would use
=VLOOKUP("LTC",Benefits,MATCH("terminated",Benefit Header,0))
and that would get the first instance of LTC and pull the terminated value.
However, how would I get the terminated value for SRP where owner is 1 and
Var1 is S162? I'd like to do this without concatenating columns, if
possible, because I want to keep it flexible when determining which columns
to use. I am open to adding a UDF where I pass it the column headings for
values I want to specify and the column heading for the value that I would
like to get.
I think it must be possible but I don't know how to do it. Any help will be
appreciated!!
