Affiliate on account of a period of time during which no duties are performed (irrespective of whether the employment relationship has terminated) due to vacation, holiday, illness, incapacity (including disability), bereavement, lay-off, jury duty,

extended, unpaid leave of absence that exceeds five years, unless the Employee’s rights are otherwise guaranteed by law. Furthermore, no Hours of Service shall be credited under this section 1.32(a)(4) to an Employee on account of any portion
of such a leave of absence if the Employee fails to obtain an honorable discharge upon completion of his military service, unless otherwise required by law; and

Service for back pay awarded or agreed to with respect to periods described in sections 1.32(a)(2), (3), and (4) shall be subject to the limitations set forth in those sections. 
 The definition set forth in this section 1.32(a) is subject to the special rules contained in Department of Labor Regulations Sections 2530.200b 2(b) and

and ending on October 1, 1975. 
 (c)     (1) Notwithstanding the other provisions of this “Hour of
Service” definition, in the case of an Employee who is absent from work for any period by reason of her pregnancy, by reason of the birth of a child of the Employee, by reason of the placement of a child with the Employee in connection with the
adoption of such child by the Employee or for purposes of caring for such child for a reasonable period beginning immediately following such birth or placement, the Employee shall be treated as having those Hours of Service described in section
1.32(c)(2). 
 (2) The Hours of Service to be credited to an Employee under the provisions of section 1.32(c)(1) are the Hours
of Service that otherwise would normally have been credited to such Employee but for the absence in question or, in any case in which the Plan is unable to determine such hours, eight (8) Hours of Service per day of such absence; provided,
however, that the total number of hours treated as Hours of Service under this section 1.32(c) by reason of any such pregnancy or placement shall not exceed 501 hours. 
 (3) The hours treated as Hours of Service under this section 1.32(c) shall be credited only in the consecutive 12 month period beginning
with the Employee’s Anniversary Date in which the absence from work begins, if the crediting is necessary to prevent a One Year Break in Service in such 12 month period or, in any other case, in the immediately following 12 month period.

 (5) Notwithstanding any other provision of this section 1.32(c), no credit shall be given

1.32(c)(1) and the number of days for which there was such an absence. 
 1.33 “Key Employee” shall mean any Employee

such Plan Year, provided, however, that no more than the lesser of

 shall be treated as officers, and such officers shall be those with the highest annual compensation in the five year period;

 (c) a 5% owner of an Employer or an Affiliate; or 
 (d) a 1% owner of an Employer or an Affiliate having an aggregate annual compensation from the Employer and its Affiliates of more than

Employees have the same ownership interest in an Employer or an Affiliate, the Employee having the greatest annual compensation from the Employer and all Affiliates shall be treated as having a larger interest. For purposes of this section,
“compensation” shall mean compensation as defined in Section 415(c)(3) of the Code, but including amounts contributed by an Employer on behalf of an Employee pursuant to a salary reduction agreement which are excludable from the
Employee’s gross income under Section 125, Section 402(e)(3), Section 402(h), or Section 403(b) of the Code and, for years beginning after December 31, 2000, amounts not included in the gross income of the Participant

 6.1 Participants’ Savings Contributions. 
 (a) The Employer shall contribute to the Trust, on behalf of each eligible Participant, a savings contribution as specified in a salary reduction agreement (if any) between the Participant and such Employer; provided,
however, that such contribution for a Participant shall not exceed the lesser of 
  

 -16- 








 (1) $10,500 (adjusted under such regulations as may be issued from time to time by the
Secretary of the Treasury) with respect to any calendar year, or 
 (2) 15% of the Participant’s Compensation for such
Plan Year (or such lower percentage as may be determined periodically by the Board of Directors). 
 (b) (1) If a
Participant’s savings contributions, together with any elective contributions by the Participant to any other plans of his Employer or an Affiliate intended to qualify under Sections 401(k) or 403(b) of the Code, exceed the limitation set forth
in section 6.1(a)(1) for any calendar year, the Administrator, upon notification from the Participant or his Employer, shall refund to such Participant the portion of such excess that is attributable to savings contributions to the Plan, increased
by the earnings thereon for such calendar year (such earnings shall be determined by the Plan Administrator in a manner consistent with the provisions of section 7.4 and Treasury Regulation Section 1.402(g)-1(e)(5)) and reduced by any excess
savings contributions and earnings for the Plan Year beginning with or within the calendar year that have been previously distributed to the Participant in accordance with the provisions of section 6.1(f). Any such refund shall be made on or before
April 15 immediately following the calendar year in which the excess savings contribution is made. 
 (2) If a
Participant’s savings contributions, together with any elective contributions by the Participant to any other plans intended to qualify under Sections 401(k), 403(b), 408(k), or 457 of the Code, exceed the limitation set forth in section 6.1(a)
(1) for any calendar year, the Administrator may refund to such Participant, at the Participant’s request, the portion of such excess that is attributable to savings contributions to the Plan, increased by the earnings thereon for such
calendar year (determined as provided in section 6.1(b)(1)) and reduced by any excess savings contributions and earnings for the Plan Year beginning with or within the calendar year that have been previously distributed to the Participant in
accordance with the provisions of section 6.1(f). Any such refund shall be made on or before April 15 immediately following the calendar year in which the excess savings contribution is made. 
 (3) Excess savings contributions and earnings shall be determined for purposes of section 6.1(a)(1), section 6.1(b)(1), and section
6.1(b)(2) after taking into account any previous refunds to the Participant of excess savings contributions and earnings for the Plan Year ending with or within the calendar year made in accordance with the provisions of 
 section 6.1(f). 
 (c) Any
salary reduction agreement shall be executed (including by voice response, Internet, or other electronic means) and received by the Plan Administrator (and otherwise in effect) prior to the first day of the first pay period to which it applies. Any
such agreement may be revised by the Participant, with the approval of the Administrator, as of any pay period if the revision is received by the Plan Administrator prior to the first day of the first pay period to which the revision applies.

  

 -17- 








 (d) The Administrator shall have the right to require any Participant to reduce his
savings contributions under any salary reduction agreement, or to refuse deferral of all or part of the amount set forth in such agreement, if necessary to comply with the requirements of this Plan and the Code. 
 (e) A Participant may suspend further savings contributions to the Plan at any time, provided the request for such suspension is received
by the Plan Administrator prior to the first day of the first pay period to which such suspension applies. Any Participant who has previously entered into a salary reduction agreement and who suspends further savings contributions relating to
periodic pay may reinstate such contributions by providing notice (including by voice response, Internet, or other electronic means) to the Plan Administrator prior to the first day of the first pay period to which it applies; provided, however,
that such pay period shall not begin less than ninety (90) days after the suspension of savings contributions became effective. 
 (f) For Plan Years beginning after December 31, 1996: 
 (1) In the event that the savings contributions of
Highly Compensated Employees exceed the limitations set forth in section 6.3, such excess (plus the earnings thereon for the Plan Year to which the excess contributions relate), determined as set forth below, shall be distributed to the Highly
Compensated Employees on or before the 15th day of the third month after the close of the Plan Year to which the excess contributions relate. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the Plan Administrator may delay the distribution of any excess
savings contributions (plus the earnings thereon for the Plan Year to which the excess contributions relate) attributable to an Employer beyond the 15th day of the third month of such Plan Year, if the Employer consents to such delay and the
Administrator refunds all such excess amounts not later than 12 months after the close of the Plan Year to which the excess contributions relate. 
 (2)(A) The amount of such excess savings contributions for the Highly Compensated Employees in the aggregate for the Plan Year shall be determined by reducing the savings contributions of the Highly Compensated
Employee with the highest Actual Deferral Ratio to the extent required to 
 (i) enable the arrangement to satisfy the
limitations set forth in section 6.3, or 
 (ii) cause such Highly Compensated Employee’s Actual Deferral Ratio to equal
the Actual Deferral Ratio of the Highly Compensated Employee with the next highest Actual Deferral Ratio. 
  

 -18- 








 This process shall be repeated until the arrangement satisfies the limitations set forth in section 6.3.

 (B) The aggregate dollar amount of the excess calculated under section 6.1(f)(2)(A) shall be distributed in accordance with
the following provisions of this section 6.1(f)(2)(B): 
 (i) the savings contributions of the Highly Compensated Employee
with the largest dollar amount of savings contributions shall be reduced by the amount required to cause such Highly Compensated Employee’s savings contributions to equal the dollar amount of the savings contributions of the Highly Compensated
Employee with the next highest dollar amount of savings contributions; 
 (ii) the amount determined in section
6.1(f)(2)(B)(i) shall be distributed to the Highly Compensated Employee with the largest dollar amount of savings contributions, unless a lesser amount, when added to the aggregate dollar amount already distributed under this section
6.1(f)(2)(B)(ii), would equal the aggregate dollar amount of the excess calculated under section 6.1(f)(2)(A), in which event such lesser amount shall be distributed; and 
 (iii) if the aggregate dollar amount distributed under section 6.1(f)(2)(B)(ii) is then less than the aggregate dollar amount of the
excess calculated under section 6.1(f)(2)(A), the steps in this section 6.1(f)(2)(B) shall be repeated. 
 (3) Earnings
attributable to excess savings contributions of a Highly Compensated Employee shall be determined by the Plan Administrator as of the last day of the Plan Year to which such excess contributions relate in a manner consistent with the provisions of
section 7.4 and Treasury Regulation Section 1.401(k)- 1(f)(4)(ii). 
 (4) Excess savings contributions and earnings
determined under sections 6.1(f)(2) and (3) shall be reduced by any excess savings contributions and earnings for the calendar year ending with or within the Plan Year that have been previously refunded to the Participant in accordance with the
provisions of section 6.1(b). 
 6.2 Matching Contributions. 
 (a) Each Employer, at the discretion of its Board of Directors, may contribute to the Trust a matching contribution on behalf of each
eligible Participant (as determined pursuant to section 6.2(b)) for whom a savings contribution is made during the Plan Year. Such matching contribution shall be equal to a specified percentage of the amount of the savings contribution (or specified
percentages of separate portions of the amount of the 

  

 -19- 








 
savings contribution) made to the Plan by the Participant, and may be limited to a specified percentage (or percentages) of the Participant’s
Compensation or a specified maximum dollar amount (or amounts). The percentage (or percentages) of the matching contribution, and any maximum percentage (or percentages) or dollar amount (or amounts), shall be determined by the Board of such
Employer. No matching contribution shall be required for the portion of a Participant’s savings contribution subject to the refund requirements of section 6.1(b) or 6.1(f). 
 (b) A Participant shall be eligible to share in the matching contribution described in section 6.2(a) for a Plan Year if (1) he has
been credited with a Year of Service as of the date preceding his Anniversary Date occurring during the Plan Year and if he is employed by his Employer on the last day of such Plan Year, or (2) if his employment is terminated during the Plan
Year (regardless of whether such termination is the result of retirement, disability, death, or severance of employment) and he has a Vested Interest in the balance of his Matching Contributions Account as of his date of termination. 
 (c) Any matching contribution made by an Employer on account of a savings contribution that has been refunded pursuant to section 6.1(b)
or section 6.1(f) shall be forfeited, and used to reduce matching contributions for the Plan Year in which the forfeiture occurs. In the event that forfeitures arising pursuant to this section 6.2(c) exceed the amount that may be used to reduce
matching contributions for the Plan Year, any additional forfeitures shall be allocated as additional matching contributions to the Matching Contributions Accounts of Participants other than those whose matching contributions have been reduced
hereunder. 
 (d) Effective for Plan Years beginning after December 31, 1996: 
 (1) In the event that the matching contributions for Highly Compensated Employees exceed the limitations set forth in section 6.3, then
except as set forth in section 6.2(d)(3), such excess (plus the earnings thereon for the Plan Year to which the excess contributions relate), determined as set forth below, shall be distributed to the Highly Compensated Employees on or before the
15th day of the third month after the close of the Plan Year to which the excess matching contributions relate. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the Plan Administrator may delay the distribution of any excess matching contributions (plus the
earnings thereon for the Plan Year to which the excess contributions relate) attributable to an Employer beyond the 15th day of the third month of such Plan Year, if the Employer consents to such delay and the Administrator refunds all such excess
amounts not later than 12 months after the close of the Plan Year to which the excess contributions relate. 
 (2) The amount
of such excess matching contributions for the Highly Compensated Employees in the aggregate for the Plan Year shall be determined by reducing the matching contribution of the Highly Compensated Employee with the highest Actual Contribution Ratio to
the extent required to 
  

 -20- 








 (A) enable the arrangement to satisfy the limitations set forth in section 6.3, or

 (B) cause such Highly Compensated Employee’s Actual Contribution Ratio to equal the Actual Contribution Ratio of the
Highly Compensated Employee with the next highest Actual Contribution Ratio. 
 This process shall be repeated until the arrangement satisfies
the limitations set forth in section 6.3. 
 (3) The aggregate dollar amount of the excess calculated under section 6.2(d)(2)
shall be distributed or forfeited in accordance with the following provisions of this section 6.2(d)(3): 
 (A) the matching
contributions of the Highly Compensated Employee with the largest dollar amount of matching contributions shall be reduced by the amount required to cause such Highly Compensated Employee’s matching contributions to equal the dollar amount of
the matching contributions of the Highly Compensated Employee with the next highest dollar amount of matching contributions; 
 (B) the amount determined in section 6.2(d)(3)(A) shall be distributed to the Highly Compensated Employee with the largest dollar amount of matching contributions, unless a lesser amount, when added to the aggregate dollar amount already
distributed under this section 6.2(d)(3)(B), would equal the aggregate dollar amount of the excess calculated under section 6.2(d)(2), in which event such lesser amount shall be distributed; 
 (C) if the aggregate dollar amount distributed under section 6.2(d)(3)(B) is then less than the aggregate dollar amount of the excess
calculated under section 6.2(d)(2), the steps in this section 6.2(d)(3) shall be repeated; and 
 (D) notwithstanding the
foregoing, if the amount to be distributed to a Highly Compensated Employee under the foregoing provisions of this section 6.2(d)(3) is not vested, then such amount shall not be distributed to the Highly Compensated Employee but shall be forfeited
and used as provided in section 6.5. 
 (e) In determining the amount of such excess, Actual Contribution Ratios shall be
rounded to the nearest one-hundredth of one percent of the Employee’s Compensation. 
 (f) In no case shall the amount of
such excess with respect to any Highly Compensated Employee exceed the amount of matching contributions on behalf of such Highly Compensated Employee for such Plan Year. 
  


 -21- 








 (g) Earnings attributable to excess contributions shall be determined by the Plan
Administrator as of the last day of the Plan Year to which such excess contributions relate in a manner consistent with the provisions of section 7.4 and Treasury Regulation Section 1.401(m)-1(e)(3)(ii). 
 6.3 Limitations on Savings and Matching Contributions. The amounts contributed as savings and matching contributions shall be limited as
follows: 
 (a) Actual Deferral Percentage: 
 (1) The Actual Deferral Percentage for the group of Highly Compensated Employees for a Plan Year shall not exceed the Actual Deferral
Percentage for the group of all other eligible Employees for such Plan Year multiplied by 1.25, or 
 (2) the excess of the
Actual Deferral Percentage for the group of Highly Compensated Employees for a Plan Year over the Actual Deferral Percentage for the group of all other eligible Employees for such Plan Year shall not exceed two (2) percentage points (or such
lesser amount as may be required by section 6.3(c)); and the Actual Deferral Percentage for the group of Highly Compensated Employees for such Plan Year shall not exceed the Actual Deferral Percentage for the group of all other eligible Employees
for such Plan Year multiplied by 2.0 (or such lesser amount as may be required by section 6.3(c)). 
 (b) Actual Contribution
Percentage: 
 (1) The Actual Contribution Percentage for the group of Highly Compensated Employees for a Plan Year shall not
exceed the Actual Contribution Percentage for the group of all other eligible Employees for such Plan Year multiplied by 1.25, or 
 (2) the excess of the Actual Contribution Percentage for the group of Highly Compensated Employees for a Plan Year over the Actual Contribution Percentage for the group of all other eligible Employees for such Plan Year shall not exceed two
(2) percentage points (or such lesser amount as may be required by section 6.3(c)); and the Actual Contribution Percentage for the group of Highly Compensated Employees for such Plan Year shall not exceed the Actual Contribution Percentage for
the group of all other eligible Employees for such Plan Year multiplied by 2.0 (or such lesser amount as may be required by section 6.3(c)). 
 (c) Multiple Use Restriction: 
 (1) The provisions of this section 6.3(c) shall apply if:

 (A) one or more Highly Compensated Employees are subject to both the Actual Deferral Percentage test described in section
6.3(a) and the Actual Contribution Percentage test described in section 6.3(b); 
  

 -22- 








 (B) the sum of the Actual Deferral Percentage and the Actual Contribution Percentage of
those Highly Compensated Employees subject to either or both tests exceeds the Aggregate Limit defined in section 6.3(c)(3); 
 (C) the Actual Deferral Percentage for the group of Highly Compensated Employees eligible to make savings contributions for a Plan Year exceeds the limitation set forth in section 6.3(a)(1); and 
 (D) the Actual Contribution Percentage for the group of Highly Compensated Employees eligible to receive matching contributions for a
Plan Year exceeds the limitation set forth in section 6.3(b)(1). 
 (2) The Actual Deferral Percentage and the Actual
Contribution Percentage for the Highly Compensated Employees described in section 6.3(c)(1) shall be determined after any corrections required by sections 6.1 and 6.2 to meet the requirements of section 6.3(a) and section 6.3(b). 
 (3) “Aggregate Limit” shall mean the greater of: 
 (A) the sum of: 
 (i) 125 percent of the greater of the Actual Deferral Percentage of the non-Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year or the Actual Contribution Percentage of non-Highly Compensated Employees for such Plan Year, and 
 (ii) the lesser of 200 percent of, or two percentage points plus, the lesser of such Actual Deferral Percentage and such Actual
Contribution Percentage; or 
 (B) the sum of: 
 (i) 125 percent of the lesser of the Actual Deferral Percentage of the non-Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year or the Actual
Contribution Percentage of non-Highly Compensated Employees for such Plan Year, and 
 (ii) the lesser of 200 percent of, or
two percentage points plus, the greater of such Actual Deferral Percentage and such Actual Contribution Percentage. 
  

 -23- 








 (4) If each of the provisions of section 6.3(c)(1) are met, then the Actual Contribution
Percentage of those Highly Compensated Employees eligible to receive matching contributions for a Plan Year will be reduced (beginning with such Highly Compensated Employee whose Actual Contribution Ratio is the highest) so that the Aggregate Limit
is not exceeded. The amount by which each Highly Compensated Employee’s Actual Contribution Ratio is reduced shall be treated as excess amounts subject to section 6.2(c). 
 (d) For purposes of this section 6.3, if two or more plans of an Employer to which elective salary reduction contributions, voluntary
contributions, or matching contributions are made are elected by the Employer to be treated as one Plan for purposes of Section 410(b)(6) of the Code, such plans shall be treated as a single plan for purposes of determining the Actual Deferral
Percentage and the Actual Contribution Percentage. For purposes of determining the Actual Deferral Percentages and the Actual Contribution Percentages for the group of Highly Compensated Employees and the group of all other eligible Employees, all
Employees of the respective group who are directly or indirectly eligible to receive allocations of savings contributions and/or matching contributions under the Plan for any portion of the Plan Year, and all Employees of the respective group who
elect not to enter into salary reduction agreements pursuant to section 6.1 or whose eligibility to enter into salary reduction agreements has been suspended or otherwise limited because of an election not to participate, a withdrawal, a loan, or a
restriction on Annual Additions as set forth in section 7.9, shall be included. For purposes of determining the Actual Deferral Ratio and the Actual Contribution Ratio for a Highly Compensated Employee, all cash or deferred arrangements in which the
Employee is eligible to receive allocations of elective contributions and/or matching contributions shall be taken into account, unless otherwise required by Treasury Regulation Sections 1.401(k)-1(g)(1)(ii)(B) and 1.401(m)-1(f)(1)(ii)(B).

 6.4 Minimum Top Heavy Contribution. For each Plan Year in which this Plan is a Top Heavy Plan, an eligible Participant who
is a Non-Key Employee, who is employed by an Employer on the last day of such Plan Year, and who is not a participant in the ESOP shall be entitled to receive a minimum contribution from his Employer for such Plan Year equal to three percent
(3%) of his Section 415 Compensation (or, if less, the highest aggregate percentage of such Section 415 Compensation allocated to a Key Employee’s Savings Contributions Account and Matching Contributions Account hereunder, as
well as his Employer contribution accounts under the ESOP and any other defined contribution plan maintained by such Employer or an Affiliate), regardless of whether such Plan Year constitutes a Year of Service for such Participant. 
 6.5 Forfeitures. Except as otherwise specifically provided in section 9.7 or otherwise in this Plan, any amount forfeited pursuant to the
provisions of this Plan shall be used as soon as possible to reduce the matching contributions of an Employer under section 6.2. In the event that forfeitures subject to this section 6.5 exceed the amount that may be used to reduce matching
contributions for the Plan Year, any additional forfeitures shall be used to increase matching contributions as provided in section 7.5(b). 
  

 -24- 








 6.6 Participant Contributions Generally Not Permitted; Special Rollover Contributions. The
Plan Administrator shall not accept any voluntary after-tax Participant contributions or any rollover contributions (within the meaning of Section 402 of the Code). Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent permitted by the ESOP, funds may
be transferred to this Plan from the ESOP on behalf of a Participant in connection with a diversification election under the terms of the ESOP. 
 6.7 Form and Timing of Contributions. Payments on account of the savings contributions due from an Employer for any Plan Year shall be made in cash to the Primary Trustee. Payments on account of the matching contributions due
from an Employer for any Plan Year (as well as any Employer contributions required pursuant to section 6.4) shall be made in cash to the Primary Trustee or in shares of common stock of the Company to the Publix Stock Fund Trustee. Such payments may
be made by a contributing Employer at any time, but payment of the matching contributions for any Plan Year (as well as any Employer contributions required pursuant to section 6.4) shall be completed on or before the time prescribed by law,
including extensions thereof, for filing such Employer’s federal income tax return for its taxable year with which or within which such Plan Year ends. Payment of any elective contribution shall be made as of the earliest date on which such
contribution can reasonably be segregated from the Employer’s general assets; provided, however, that such payment shall be made no later than the fifteenth business day of the month following the month in which the contribution is withheld
from a Participant’s pay. 
 6.8 No Duty to Inquire. The Trustees shall have no right or duty to inquire into the amount
of any contribution made by an Employer or the method used in determining the amount of any such contribution, or to collect the same, but the Trustees shall be accountable only for funds actually received by the Trustees.

 7.1 Trust Fund. The assets of the Trusts shall constitute a fund or funds
in which the Participants shall have undivided interests in accordance with the provisions described below. 
 7.2 Establishment of
Accounts. The Plan Administrator shall establish and maintain with respect to each Participant two Accounts, designated as a Savings Contributions Account and a Matching Contributions Account. The Plan Administrator may also establish and
maintain with respect to the portion of each Participant’s Accounts invested in the Publix Stock Fund, an Employer Securities Account and an Other Investments Account to reflect further the Participant’s interest in the Publix Stock Fund.
The Plan Administrator may establish such additional Accounts as are necessary to reflect a Participant’s interest in the Trust Funds, including without limitation a Rollover Contribution Account in connection with any transfer from the ESOP as
provided in section 6.6. 
 7.3 Interest of Participant. The interest of a Participant in the Trust Funds shall be the balance
remaining from time to time in his Accounts after making the adjustments required in sections 7.4, 7.5, 7.6, and 7.7. 
  

 -25- 








 7.4 Allocation of Earnings. As of each applicable Valuation Date, each of a
Participant’s Accounts shall be credited or charged, as the case may be, with a share of the Earnings of the Trust Funds for the Valuation Period ending with such current Valuation Date in accordance with the interest of each Participant, if
any, in each Directed Investment Fund and the Publix Stock Fund. If the fund in question has a daily unit value, then Earnings shall be determined on that basis. Otherwise, Earnings shall be determined by the Plan Administrator on a weighted average
basis, so that each Participant with a balance in such fund shall receive a pro rata share of the Earnings of such fund, taking into account the period of time that each dollar invested in such fund has been so invested. 
 7.5 Allocation of Contributions. Subject to the provisions of section 7.9, each Participant’s Accounts shall be credited with
contributions made as follows: 
 (a) The Savings Contributions Account of a Participant shall be credited with any savings
contributions made by his Employer on his behalf pursuant to section 6.1. 
 (b) The Matching Contributions Account of a
Participant shall be credited with any matching contributions made by his Employer on his behalf pursuant to section 6.2. In addition, the Matching Contributions Account of a Participant shall be credited with any additional matching contributions
made, pursuant to section 6.2(c) or section 6.5, with forfeitures in excess of amounts necessary to fund any matching contributions made pursuant to section 6.2. Any additional matching contributions shall be credited to each eligible Participant
for whom a savings contribution is made during the Plan Year, and shall equal a uniform percentage of the amount of the savings contribution made to the Plan by the Participant for the Plan Year; provided, however, that no additional matching
contribution shall be made for a Participant with respect to any Plan Year for the portion of his savings contribution that is in excess of six percent (6%) of the Participant’s Compensation for such Plan Year; and provided, further, that
no additional matching contribution shall be required for the portion of a Participant’s savings contribution subject to the refund requirements of sections 6.1(b) and 6.1(f). A Participant will not be entitled to share in the matching
contributions or additional matching contributions unless he meets the requirements of section 6.2(b). 
 (c) For each Plan
Year in which this Plan is a Top Heavy Plan, a Participant who is not a participant in the ESOP and who meets the additional eligibility requirements set forth in section 6.4 for such Plan Year shall be entitled to his share of the contribution
provided pursuant to section 6.4. Any such contribution for a Plan Year shall be credited to the Matching Contributions Account of the Participant. 
 (d) The Rollover Contributions Account of a Participant shall be credited with any amounts transferred from the ESOP on behalf of the Participant. 
 7.6 Distributions. Each Participant’s Accounts shall be charged with the amount of any distribution made to, or withdrawal made by,
the Participant or his beneficiary from his Accounts. 
  

 -26- 








 7.7 Other Adjustments. 
 (a) The Participants’ Employer Securities Accounts and Other Investments Accounts shall be further credited and charged with the
proceeds of any short-term interim investments that may be made during periods prior to purchase dates for the acquisition of common stock of the Company by the Publix Stock Fund Trustee. 
 (b) The Participants’ Employer Securities Accounts and Other Investments Accounts shall be further adjusted to reflect purchases of
the common stock of the Company with assets other than the common stock of the Company, and purchases of assets other than the common stock of the Company in connection with the sale of the common stock of the Company. 
 7.8 Accrual Method. For purposes of all computations required by this Article VII, the Trust Funds and the assets therein shall be valued
at their fair market value as of each applicable Valuation Date. The Plan Administrator may adopt such additional accounting procedures as are necessary to accurately reflect each Participant’s interest in the Trust Funds. All such procedures
shall be applied in a consistent nondiscriminatory manner. 
 7.9 Limitation on Allocation of Contributions. 
 (a) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Plan to the contrary, the aggregate Annual Additions to a Participant’s Accounts under
this Plan and under any other defined contribution plans maintained by an Employer or an Affiliate for any Limitation Year beginning after December 31, 1994 shall not exceed the lesser of $30,000 (adjusted under such regulations as may be
issued from time to time by the Secretary of the Treasury) or twenty-five percent (25%) of the Participant’s Section 415 Compensation for such Limitation Year. 
 (b) In the event that the Annual Additions, under the normal administration of the Plan, would otherwise exceed the limits set forth above
for any Participant, or in the event that any Participant participates in both a defined benefit plan and a defined contribution plan maintained by any Employer or any Affiliate and the aggregate annual additions to and projected benefits under all
of such plans, under the normal administration of such plans, would otherwise exceed the limits provided by law, then the Plan Administrator shall take such actions, applied in a uniform and nondiscriminatory manner, as will keep the annual
additions and projected benefits for such Participant from exceeding the applicable limits provided by law. Excess Annual Additions shall be disposed of as provided in section 7.9(c). Adjustments shall be made to this Plan, if necessary to comply
with such limits, before any adjustments shall be required to any other Plan. 
 (c) If as a result of the allocation of
forfeitures, a reasonable error in estimating a Participant’s Section 415 Compensation, a reasonable error in determining the amount of elective deferrals that may be made, or other circumstances permitted under Section 415 of the
Code, the Annual Additions attributable to Employer contributions for a particular Participant (including savings and matching contributions) would cause the limitations set 

  

 -27- 








 
forth in this section 7.9 to be exceeded, the excess amount shall be deemed first to consist of the Participant’s savings contributions in excess of any
amount subject to a matching contribution for the Plan Year, which excess shall be returned to the Participant. The remaining excess shall be deemed to consist of savings contributions and corresponding matching contributions, in which case the
excess savings contributions shall be returned to such Participant and the corresponding matching contributions shall be held and allocated in the manner described below. Any excess amount attributable to matching contributions shall be held
unallocated in a suspense account for the Limitation Year, used to reduce matching contributions on behalf of such Participant for the next Limitation Year, and allocated to such Participant in lieu of such reduced contribution as of the end of the
next Limitation Year under the terms of section 7.5. Any such allocations shall be treated as Annual Additions to the Matching Contributions Account of the Participant in the Limitation Year that they are allocated in lieu of such reduced
contributions. In the event that the Participant terminates his participation in this Plan before all of the amounts in a suspense account are allocated to his Matching Contributions Account, then such excess amounts shall be retained in such
suspense account, to be reallocated to other Participants as of the end of the next Limitation Year and any succeeding Limitation Years until all amounts in the suspense account are exhausted. 
 (d) The former provisions of this section 7.9(d) are deleted and no longer effective for Limitation Years beginning after
December 31, 1999. 
 ARTICLE VIII 
 Benefits Under the Plan 
 8.1 Retirement Benefit. 
 (a) A Participant shall be entitled to retire from the employ of his Employer upon such Participant’s Normal Retirement Date. Except
as provided in section 9.1(b)(2), until a Participant actually retires from the employ of his Employer, no retirement benefits shall be payable to him, and he shall continue to be treated in all respects as a Participant. 
 (b) Upon the retirement of a Participant as provided in section 8.1(a), such Participant shall be entitled to a retirement benefit in an
amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the aggregate balances in his Accounts as of the date of distribution. 
 8.2
Disability Benefit. 
 (a) In the event a Participant’s employment with his Employer is terminated by
reason of his total and permanent disability, such Participant shall be entitled to a disability benefit in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the aggregate balances in his Accounts as of the date of distribution. 
  

 -28- 








 (b) Total and permanent disability shall mean the total incapacity of a Participant to
perform the usual duties of his employment with his Employer and will be deemed to have occurred only when certified by a Doctor of Medicine who is licensed to practice medicine in the State in which the Participant was employed by his Employer and
who is acceptable to the Plan Administrator, and only if such proof is received by the Administrator within one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of the termination of such Participant’s employment. 
 8.3 Severance of Employment Benefit. 
 (a) In the event a Participant’s employment with his Employer is terminated for reasons other than retirement, total and permanent disability or death, such Participant shall be entitled to a severance of
employment benefit in an amount equal to his Vested Interests in the aggregate balances in his Accounts as of the date of distribution. 
 (b)    (1) The Vested Interest of a Participant in his Matching Contributions Account shall be a percentage of the balance of such Matching Contributions Account as of the applicable date, based
upon such Participant’s Years of Service as of the date of the termination of his employment, as follows: 
  

														
	 TOTAL NUMBER OF YEARS OF SERVICE
	 	  	 	  	 	  	 	  	  	VESTED
INTEREST	 
	 Less than 5 Years of Service
	  	0	%
	 5 years or more
	  	100	%

 (2) Notwithstanding the provisions of section 8.3(b)(1), for any Plan Year in
which this Plan is a Top Heavy Plan, a Participant’s Vested Interest in his Matching Contributions Account shall be a percentage of the balance of such Matching Contributions Account as of the applicable date, based upon such Participant’s
Years of Service as of the date of the termination of his employment, as follows: 
  

														
	 TOTAL NUMBER OF YEARS OF SERVICE
	 	  	 	  	 	  	 	  	  	VESTED
INTEREST	 
	 Less than 2 Years of Service
	  	0	%
	 2 years, but less than 3 years
	  	20	%
	 3 years, but less than 4 years
	  	40	%
	 4 years, but less than 5 years
	  	60	%
	 5 years, but less than 6 years
	  	80	%
	 6 years or more
	  	100	%

 (3) If at any time this Plan ceases to be a Top Heavy Plan after being a Top Heavy
Plan for one or more Plan Years, the change from being a Top Heavy Plan shall be treated as if it were an amendment to the Plan’s vesting schedule for purposes of sections 14.1(c) and (e). 
  

 -29- 








 (4) Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Participant’s Vested Interest in his Matching
Contributions Account shall be one hundred percent (100%) upon the Participant attaining his Normal Retirement Date. A Participant’s Vested Interest in his Savings Contributions Account shall be one hundred percent (100%) regardless
of the number of his Years of Service. 
 (c) If the termination of employment results in five consecutive One Year Breaks in
Service, or if a Participant incurs five consecutive One Year Breaks in Service while continuing his employment with an Employer or an Affiliate, then upon the occurrence of such five consecutive One Year Breaks in Service, the nonvested interest of
the Participant in his Matching Contributions Account shall be deemed to be forfeited and such forfeited amount shall be reallocated, pursuant to the provisions of sections 6.5 and 7.5(b), at the end of the Plan Year during which the fifth such
consecutive One Year Break in Service occurs. If the Participant is later reemployed by an Employer or an Affiliate, or if the Participant continues his employment with an Employer or an Affiliate, as the case may be, the unforfeited balance, if
any, in his Matching Contributions Account that has not been distributed to such Participant shall be set aside in a separate account, and such Participant’s Years of Service after any five consecutive One Year Breaks in Service shall not be
taken into account for the purpose of determining the Vested Interest of such Participant in the balance of his Matching Contributions Account that accrued before such five consecutive One Year Breaks in Service. 
 (d)    (1) Notwithstanding any other provision of this section 8.3, if at any time a Participant is less than one
hundred percent (100%) vested in his Matching Contributions Account and, as a result of his severance of employment, he receives his entire vested severance of employment benefit pursuant to the provisions of Article IX, then upon the
occurrence of such distribution, the nonvested interest of the Participant in his Matching Contributions Account shall be deemed to be forfeited and such forfeited amount shall be reallocated, pursuant to the provisions of sections 6.5 and 7.5(b),
at the end of the Plan Year immediately following or concurring with the date such distribution occurs. 
 (2) If a
Participant whose interest is forfeited under this section 8.3(d) is reemployed by an Employer or an Affiliate prior to the occurrence of five consecutive One Year Breaks in Service commencing after his distribution, then such Participant shall have
the right to repay to the Trust, before the date that is the earlier of (A) five years after the Participant’s resumption of employment or (B) the close of a period of five consecutive One Year Breaks in Service, the full amount of
the severance of employment benefit previously distributed to him, if any. If the Participant elects to repay such amount to the Trust within the time periods prescribed herein, the nonvested interest of the Participant previously forfeited pursuant
to the provisions of this section 8.3(d) shall be restored to the Matching Contributions Account of the Participant, such restoration to be made from forfeitures of nonvested interests and, if necessary, by contributions of his Employer, so that the
aggregate of the amounts repaid by the Participant and restored by the Employer shall not be less than the Account balances of the Participant at the time of forfeiture unadjusted by any subsequent gains or losses. 
  

 -30- 








 (e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this section 8.3, if a Participant is
reemployed by an Employer or an Affiliate and, as a result, no five consecutive One Year Breaks in Service occur, the Participant shall not be entitled to any severance of employment benefit as a result of such termination of employment; provided,
however, that nothing contained herein shall require or permit the Participant to return or otherwise have restored to his Matching Contributions Account any funds distributed to him prior to his reemployment and the determination that no five
consecutive One Year Breaks in Service would occur. 
 8.4 Death Benefit. 
 (a) In the event of the death of a Participant, his beneficiary shall be entitled to a death benefit in an amount equal to one hundred
percent (100%) of the aggregate balance in his Accounts as of the date of distribution. 
 (b) Subject to the provisions
of section 8.4(c), at any time and from time to time, each Participant shall have the unrestricted right to designate a beneficiary to receive his death benefit and to revoke any such designation. Each designation or revocation shall be evidenced by
written instrument signed by the Participant and filed with the Plan Administrator. If the Participant designates two or more beneficiaries, but fails to specify the portion that each beneficiary is to receive, they shall share equally. In the event
that a Participant has designated two or more beneficiaries, and one or more (but less than all) of such beneficiaries predecease the Participant, then, absent a specific designation by the Participant to the contrary, the surviving designated
beneficiary or beneficiaries shall split the deceased beneficiary’s or beneficiaries’ share on a pro-rata basis (based upon the percentages designated by the Participant). In the event that a Participant has not designated a beneficiary or
beneficiaries, or if for any reason such designation shall be legally ineffective, or if such beneficiary or all such beneficiaries shall predecease the Participant, then the Participant’s surviving Eligible Spouse, and if none, then the estate
of such Participant shall be deemed to be the beneficiary designated to receive such death benefit, or if no personal representative is appointed for the estate of such Participant and no court order authorizes a distribution pursuant to applicable
state law, then his next of kin under the statute of descent and distribution of the state in which the Participant was domiciled at the time of his death shall be deemed to be the beneficiary or beneficiaries to receive such death benefit.

 (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant is married for not less than one year as of the date of his death,
the Participant’s surviving Eligible Spouse shall be deemed to be his designated beneficiary and shall receive the full amount of the death benefit attributable to the Participant unless the Eligible Spouse consents or has consented to the
Participant’s designation of another beneficiary. Any such consent to the designation of another beneficiary must acknowledge the effect of the consent, must be witnessed by a Plan representative or by a notary public and shall be effective
only with respect to that Eligible Spouse. An Eligible Spouse’s consent shall be a restricted consent (which may not be changed as to the beneficiary unless the Eligible Spouse consents to such change in the manner described herein).
Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this section 
 8.4(c), a Participant shall not be required to obtain spousal consent to his
designation of another beneficiary if the Participant is legally separated or the Participant has been abandoned, and the Participant provides the Plan Administrator with a court order to such effect.

 ARTICLE IX 
 Form and Payment of Benefits, Withdrawals 
 9.1 Time for Distribution of
Benefits. 
 (a) Except as otherwise provided under this Article IX: 
 (1) the amount of the benefit to which a Participant is entitled under sections 8.1, 8.2, or 8.3 shall be paid to him beginning as soon as
practicable following the Participant’s retirement, total and permanent disability, or severance of employment, as the case may be; and 
 (2) the amount of the benefit to which a Participant is entitled under section 8.4 shall be paid to the Participant’s beneficiary or beneficiaries, beginning as soon as practicable following the
Participant’s death; provided, however, that with respect to a death benefit of more than $5,000 for a beneficiary, such benefit shall be paid in a lump sum: 
 (A) in the case that the designated beneficiary is the Participant’s
surviving spouse, at the time the Participant would have reached age 70 1/2; and 
 (B) in any other case, approximately, but no more than, five years from the date of the Participant’s death. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, a beneficiary whose benefits is subject to subsection 9.1(a)(2)(A) or (B) may make an irrevocable election to receive
the benefit payable to him at any time before the date of distribution described above. 
 (b) Unless the Participant
otherwise elects, any distribution paid to a Participant pursuant to section 9.1(a) shall commence not later than the earlier of: 
 (1) the 60th day after the last day of the Plan Year in which the Participant’s employment is terminated or, if later, in which occurs the Participant’s Normal Retirement Date; or 
 (2) April 1 of the year immediately following the calendar year in which the
Participant reaches age 70 1/2 or retires, whichever is later; provided, however, that a Participant who is a 5%
owner (as defined in Section 416 of the Code) shall begin receiving payment of his retirement benefit no later than April 1 after the end of the calendar year in which he attains age 70 1/2 even if he has not actually retired from the employ of his Employer at the time; and provided further, that a Participant who attains age 70 1/2 prior to January 1, 1999 shall receive his benefits in accordance with the minimum distribution requirements
under Section 401(a)(9) of the Code as in effect immediately prior to January 1, 1997, unless he elects in writing to cease receiving such benefits and instead elects to defer commencement of such benefits until his actual retirement.

  

 -32- 








 (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no distribution shall be made of the benefit to which
a Participant is entitled under sections 8.1, 8.2, or 8.3 prior to the Participant’s 62nd birthday unless the value of his benefit does not exceed $5,000 (or, for Plan Years beginning before January 1, 1998, $3,500), or unless the
Participant consents to the distribution. The Plan Administrator shall provide each Participant entitled to a distribution of more than $5,000 (or, for Plan Years beginning before January 1, 1998, $3,500) with a written notice of his rights,
which shall include an explanation of the alternative dates for distribution of benefits and the optional forms of benefit available to the Participant. The Participant may elect to exercise such rights, no less than 30 days and no more than 90 days
before the first date upon which distribution of the Participant’s vested account balances may be made; provided, however, that such distribution may commence less than 30 days after the provision of the notice if the Plan Administrator clearly
informs the Participant that the Participant has a right to a period of at least 30 days after receiving the notice to consider the decision of whether or not to elect a distribution (and, if applicable, a particular distribution option), and if the
Participant, after receiving the notice, affirmatively elects a distribution. In the event that a Participant does not consent to a distribution of a benefit in excess of $5,000 (or, for Plan Years beginning before January 1, 1998, $3,500)
to which he is entitled under sections 8.1, 8.2, or 8.3, the amount of his benefit shall commence to be paid to the Participant not later than sixty (60) days after the last day of the Plan Year in which the Participant reaches his 62nd
birthday. 
 (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, benefit payments shall satisfy the incidental death benefit requirements and
all other applicable provisions of Section 401(a)(9) of the Code, the regulations issued thereunder (including Proposed Regulation Section 1.401(a)(9)-2), and such other rules thereunder as may be prescribed by the Commissioner. 
 (e) Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Plan, in the event that an alternate payee under a Qualified Domestic Relations Order, as
defined in Section 414(p) of the Code, should die before receiving the entire balance under the Accounts established for such alternate payee, then the balance in his Accounts as of the date of distribution shall be distributed to the
beneficiary or beneficiaries of the alternate payee (as determined in accordance with the procedures set forth in section 8.4) as soon as practicable following the death of the alternate payee, unless and to the extent that the Qualified Domestic
Relations Order provides otherwise. 
 9.2 Form of Payment. 
 (a) The amount of any benefit to which a Participant is entitled under Article VIII hereof shall be paid to him in cash in the form of a
lump sum; provided, however, that at the request of the Participant or, in case such Participant has died, at the request of his beneficiary or beneficiaries, the portion of any distributable benefit attributable to the Participant’s Employer
Securities Accounts shall be distributable, to the extent possible, in shares of common stock of the Company, except that no fractional share shall be issued and the value of any fractional share to which a Participant would otherwise be entitled
shall be paid in cash. For distributions of benefits of $5,000 or less, the Administrator shall have no obligation to contact the Participant or his beneficiary or beneficiaries with respect to any such election regarding in-kind distributions of
the Participant’s Employer Securities Account. For all purposes of this Article IX, it is understood that a “lump sum” may include two or more payments in order to permit the Plan Administrator to obtain the cash needed to 

  

 -33- 








 
make a distribution in cash with respect to whole or fractional shares held in a Participant’s Employer Securities Accounts by selling the shares on the
next permitted sales date as determined from time to time by the Plan Administrator in accordance with the provisions of section 10.4. 
 (b) If a Participant or his beneficiary elects to receive some or all of the Participant’s distributable benefit attributable to the Participant’s Employer Securities Accounts in shares of common stock of
the Company, then all shares acquired as a result thereof, including without limitation all such shares acquired by transfer under this section 9.2 or otherwise from any person so receiving such shares, shall be subject to the following restrictions
(with each stockholder with respect to such shares being referred to as an “Owner”), and any election to receive common stock of the Company under this Plan shall be conditioned on the recipient agreeing to be bound by the provisions of
this section 9.2: 
 (1) except as provided by section 9.2(d), no sale, transfer, or other disposition of such shares for
consideration shall be made by an Owner to any person other than to the Company pursuant to section 9.2(c), and all other such attempted or actual sales, transfers or dispositions shall be void and without effect; 
 (2) an Owner may transfer such shares by gift (as long as the gift is consistent with the Owner’s acquisition of the shares solely
for investment and not with any intent to resell or distribute the shares), testamentary disposition, or intestate succession to any person, which person shall thereupon become an Owner, with the transferred shares being subject to all the
restrictions imposed on the transfer or other disposition of shares by this section 9.2 and any election documents; however, an Owner may not transfer shares to the Owner and another person (other than the Owner’s spouse) as joint owners;

 (3) all certificates representing such shares shall contain a restrictive legend indicating that their transfer is
restricted by the terms of this Plan and (if correct at the time of issuance or transfer) that the shares are not registered under federal or state securities laws. 
 (c) Subject to the right of the Board of Directors in its sole discretion to discontinue or modify its repurchase program or any part of
it with respect to any person or all persons for any reason or for no reason at any time or from time to time, the Company agrees to repurchase any and all shares held by an Owner, upon demand, that were acquired pursuant to this Plan. Subject to
change or modification at any time and from time to time by the Board of Directors, if the Owner’s demand occurs during an “Offering Period” (as such term is defined in the Company’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the
“ESPP”), the repurchase price shall be the purchase price for the shares under the ESPP for such Offering Period; and if the Owner’s demand occurs at a time that is not during an Offering Period, the repurchase price shall be the
purchase price for the shares in effect during the immediately preceding Offering Period. 
  

 -34- 








 (d) The Company will notify the Owner, no later than thirty (30) days after the
Company receives a demand of the Owner under section 9.2(c) for the repurchase by the Company, if the Board of Directors has discontinued or modified the repurchase program and as a result thereof the Company declines to repurchase the shares in
accordance with the provisions of section 
 9.2(c). Upon receipt of such notice, the Owner shall be free to resell the shares to a third
person as long as such resale takes place within ninety (90) days after receipt of such notice from the Company; provided, however, that the transferee of the Owner shall thereupon become an Owner for purposes of the Plan and the acquired
shares shall continue to be subject to all the restrictions imposed on the transfer or other disposition of shares by this section 9.2 and any election documents; and provided further, that before any resale under this section 9.2(d) shall be
effected, such transferee may be required by the Company to execute an agreement consenting to the continuation of such restrictions. If the resale does not take place prior to the end of such ninety (90) day period, all the provisions of this
section 9.2 shall reattach to the shares of the Owner and the Owner may no longer resell the shares without again complying with the provisions of this section 9.2. 
 9.3 Periodic Adjustments. To the extent the balances of a Participant’s Accounts have not been distributed and remain in the Plan, and notwithstanding anything contained in the Plan to the contrary,
the value of such remaining balances shall be subject to adjustment from time to time pursuant to the provisions of Article VII. 
 9.4 Withdrawals After Age 59 1/2. 
 (a) Upon reaching age 59 1/
2, a Participant who is actively employed by an Employer may apply to the Administrator for the withdrawal of all or a portion of his Savings Contributions Account
and his vested Matching Contributions Account. The Administrator shall not permit more than one withdrawal in any Plan Year. The minimum amount that may be withdrawn by a Participant shall be $1,000 or the entire balance of the Participant’s
Accounts available for withdrawal if less than $1,000. All amounts withdrawn shall be paid to the Participant in cash; provided, however, that at the request of the Participant, the portion of any requested withdrawal attributable to and to be paid
from the Participant’s Employer Securities Accounts shall be distributable, to the extent possible, in shares of common stock of the Company, except that no fractional share shall be issued and the value of any fractional share to which a
Participant would otherwise be entitled shall be paid in cash. 
 (b) The Administrator shall direct the Trustee to
distribute to a Participant who has applied for such a withdrawal the amount requested, which amount shall be withdrawn first from the Participant’s Accounts excluding the portion held in Employer Securities Accounts and then from the
Participant’s Employer Securities Accounts. 
  

 -35- 








 (c) Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this section 9.4, any Participant who is
an officer, director or 10% shareholder of the Company, and any other Participant who is required to file reports under Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, shall be prohibited from withdrawing any portion of his Accounts held
in Employer Securities Accounts. 
 (d) The Administrator shall establish additional uniform and nondiscriminatory rules and
procedures regarding the distribution of benefits pursuant to this section. 
 9.5 Direct Rollover Distributions.
Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, a Distributee may elect, at the time and in the manner prescribed by the Plan Administrator, to have all or any portion of an Eligible Rollover Distribution paid directly to an Eligible
Retirement Plan specified by the Distributee in a Direct Rollover. In the event that a Distributee elects to have only a portion of an Eligible Rollover Distribution paid directly to an Eligible Retirement Plan, the portion must not be less than
$500 (adjusted under such regulations as may be issued from time to time by the Secretary of the Treasury). 
 9.6 Distribution for
Minors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no distribution shall be made of the benefit to which a Participant or beneficiary is entitled if the Plan Administrator has actual knowledge that such Participant or beneficiary is legally incompetent,
by age or otherwise, to receive such benefit, until either: 
 (a) a legal guardian has been appointed to receive and account
for such benefit to and on behalf of the Participant or beneficiary, or 
 (b) another person is legally entitled to receive
such benefit on behalf of the Participant or beneficiary and payment to such person will discharge the Plan’s obligation to the Participant or beneficiary. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the law of the applicable state permits distribution to a natural guardian of the child, then the Plan Administrator is authorized to make the distribution to a natural guardian where applicable (e.g.,
Florida Statute 744.301). A payment made on behalf of a minor beneficiary pursuant to the provisions of this section 9.6 shall fully discharge the Trustee, the Employer, and the Plan from further liability on account thereof. 
 9.7 Location of Participant or Beneficiary Unknown. In the event that all, or any portion, of the distribution payable to a Participant or
his beneficiary hereunder shall, at the expiration of two (2) years after it shall become payable, remain unpaid solely by reason of the inability of the Administrator to ascertain the whereabouts of such Participant or his beneficiary despite
the reasonable effort of the Administrator to locate such Participant or his beneficiary, the amount so distributable shall be treated as a forfeiture pursuant to the Plan. In the event a Participant or his beneficiary is located subsequent to the
reallocation of the forfeiture, the amount forfeited (without earnings or other adjustment) shall be immediately restored to the Accounts of the Participant, such restoration to be made from forfeitures and, if necessary, by contributions of his
Employer. Restoration under this Section 9.7 shall constitute the first use of forfeitures in a year, and the forfeitures available for allocation under Section 6.5 shall be reduced accordingly. 
  

 -36- 








 ARTICLE X 
 Designated Investments 
 10.1 Selection of Investment Funds. The Plan
Administrator shall select three or more mutual or collective funds to be available to Participants for the investment of their Accounts. The available funds shall initially include at least one fund meeting the description below for Fund A, at
least one fund meeting the description below for Fund B, and at least one fund meeting the description below for Fund C or Fund D. The Plan Administrator shall have the power to add or modify categories from time to time; provided however, that any
modified categories of funds shall have at least as much diversity as the categories of funds set forth below:

a money market or stable asset fund, which fund shall consist primarily of investment contracts issued by insurance companies, banks, and other financial institutions, commercial paper, U.S. Government or federal agency obligations, short-term
corporate obligations, bank certificates of deposit and/or other types of short maturity investments;

 10.2 Designation Procedure. From time to time, a Participant may separately elect
(including by voice response, Internet, or other electronic means) to have future contributions and existing Account balances invested in the available investment funds in the percentages designated by the Participant. The elections shall be made in
accordance with such uniform and nondiscriminatory rules as may be adopted from time to time by the Plan Administrator. Any such election shall be effective within a reasonable time after the receipt by the Trustee of directions from the

 10.4 Procedures and Restrictions. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Plan
Administrator shall establish uniform procedures regarding Participant investment directions, which procedures shall be communicated to all Participants. The Plan Administrator, at its sole discretion, may prohibit, or otherwise restrict, the
optional investment of Account balances in the Publix Stock Fund by any officer, director or 10% shareholder of the Company, or any other Participant who is required to file reports under Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, in
order to prevent a violation of federal law or an undue administrative burden upon the Plan Administrator. 
 10.5 Other
Accounts. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Article X, a Participant’s Matching Contributions Account shall initially (after contribution or upon restoration of forfeitures) be invested in the Publix Stock Fund. Thereafter, a
Participant may designate the percentage of his Matching Contribution Account to be allocated to any fund under the same terms as savings contributions under section 10.2. A Participant may designate in accordance with section 10.2 the investment of
assets that are then temporarily being held in his Other Investments Account at any time prior to the date of the purchase of common stock of the Company with such funds, in which event such funds will no longer be part of the Publix Stock Fund.

 10.6 Other Fiduciary Obligations. In addition to the other fiduciary responsibilities assigned to the Plan Administrator
pursuant to this Article X, and not in limitation thereof, the Administrator shall be responsible for determining the investment objectives and philosophy of the Plan, the selection and appointment of investment managers (who shall be qualified
investment managers withing the meaning of ERISA), and carrying out (or appointing agents, including third party administrators, to carry out) the investment directions given by Participants under this Article X. 
 ARTICLE XI 
 Loans to
Participants 
 11.1 Availability of Loans. 
 (a) The Plan Administrator, in accordance with its uniform nondiscriminatory policy, may direct the Trustee, upon application of a
Participant who is actively employed by an Employer, to make a loan to such Participant out of his Accounts, excluding any portion of the Accounts held in his Employer Securities Account within the Publix Stock Fund. Any such loan to a Participant
shall be considered a designated investment under Article X and without limitation shall be subject to the provisions of Article X. 
 (b) Until otherwise directed by the Administrator, the Director of Benefits Administration shall be authorized to coordinate the loan program set forth herein.

Participant from any qualified retirement plan adopted by the Participant’s Employer or an Affiliate, may not exceed the lesser of: 
 (1) $50,000, reduced by the excess, if any, of: 
 (A) the Participant’s highest
aggregate outstanding balance of all loans from the Plan (or any other qualified retirement plan adopted by the Participant’s Employer or an Affiliate) during the one (1) year period ending on the day before the date on which the loan is
made, over 
 (B) the aggregate outstanding balance of all loans from any qualified retirement plan adopted by the
Participant’s Employer or an Affiliate on the date on which the loan is made; or 
 (2) 50% of the vested balance of the
Participant’s Savings Contribution and Matching Contributions Accounts; or 
 (3) 100% of the balance of the
Participant’s Savings Contributions and Matching Contributions Accounts, excluding the portion, if any, held in his Employer Securities Account within the Publix Stock Fund. 
 (d) The minimum amount that may be borrowed by the Participant shall be $1,000, or the entire balance of the Participant’s Accounts
available for loans if such entire balance was in excess of $1,000 at the time of the Participant’s request for the loan but is less than $1,000 at the time the loan is disbursed. 
 (e) The Participant shall not be permitted to obtain more than one loan in any Plan Year. 
 (f) The Participant shall not be permitted to maintain more than one loan at any time, and there shall be a thirty (30) day waiting
period between the termination of a loan and the initiation of another loan. 
 (g) Any legal and administrative costs
incurred by the Plan Administrator or the Primary Trustee as a result of a loan, or application for a loan, shall be paid by the Participant who received or applied for such loan. 
 11.2 Time and Manner of Repayment. Any loan made under this Article shall be repayable to the Trust at such times and in such manner as may
be provided by the Administrator, subject to the following limitations: 
 (a) Each loan shall be secured by 50% of the Vested
Interest of the Participant in his Accounts. The Administrator shall not accept any other form of security. Each Participant shall agree to have each required loan payment deducted from his pay and remitted to the Trustee. 
 (b) Each loan shall bear interest at a reasonable rate and shall provide for substantially level amortization of principal and interest no
less frequently than quarterly. The interest rate charged shall be comparable to the rate charged by commercial lending institutions in the region in which the Employer is located for comparable loans as determined by the Primary Trustee at the time
the loan is approved. 
  

 -39- 








 (c) Each loan may be pre-paid at any time after the completion of a ninety (90) day
period. 
 (d) Each loan shall be repaid within a five-year period of time. 
 11.3 Default. In the event of default, the Trustees, at the direction of the Administrator, may proceed to collect said loan with any legal
remedy available, including reducing the amount of any distribution permitted under Article VIII by the amount of any such loan that may be due and owing as of the date of distribution or any other action that may be permitted by law. “Events
of Default” shall include any failure to make a payment of principal or interest attributable to the loan when due; failure to perform or to comply with any obligations imposed by any agreement executed by the Borrower securing his loan
obligation; and any other conditions or requirements set forth within a promissory note or security agreement that may be required in order to ensure that the terms of the loan are consistent with commercially reasonable practices.

 The Company shall bear all expenses of implementing this Plan and the Trusts. For its services, any corporate trustee shall be entitled to receive
reasonable compensation in accordance with its rate schedule in effect from time to time for the handling of a retirement trust. Any individual Trustee shall be entitled to such compensation as shall be arranged between the Company and the Trustee
by separate instrument; provided, however, that no person who is already receiving full-time pay from any Employer or any Affiliate shall receive compensation from the Trust Funds (except for the reimbursement of expenses properly and actually
incurred). The Company may pay all expenses of the administration of the Trust Funds, including the Trustee’s compensation, the 

  

 -40- 








 
compensation of any investment manager, the expense incurred by the Administrator in discharging its duties, all income or other taxes of any kind whatsoever
that may be levied or assessed under existing or future laws upon or in respect of the Trust Funds, and any interest that may be payable on money borrowed by the Trustee for the purpose of the Trust, and any Employer may pay such expenses as relate
to Participants employed by such Employer. Any such payment by the Company or an Employer shall not be deemed a contribution to this Plan. Such expenses shall be paid out of the assets of the Trust Funds unless paid or provided for by the Company or
another Employer. Any and all expenses (including, without limitation, brokerage fees, closing costs, liabilities arising from the ownership or management of specific properties, and income and other taxes) incurred in connection with the
investments of the Directed Investment Funds or the Publix Stock Fund, which are paid from the assets of the Trust Funds, shall be charged solely against, and paid solely from, the Fund to which such investment is attributable. Notwithstanding
anything contained herein to the contrary, no excise tax or other liability imposed upon any Trustee, the Plan Administrator or any other person for failure to comply with the provisions of any federal law shall be subject to payment or
reimbursement from the assets of either Trust. 
 ARTICLE XIV 
 Amendment and Termination 
 14.1 Restrictions on Amendment and
Termination of the Plan. It is the present intention of the Company to maintain the Plan set forth herein indefinitely. Nevertheless, the Company specifically reserves to itself the right at any time and from time to time to amend or
terminate this Plan in whole or in part; provided, however, that no such amendment: 
 (a) shall have the effect of vesting in
any Employer, directly or indirectly, any interest, ownership or control in any of the present or subsequent funds held subject to the terms of the Trusts; 
 (b) shall cause or permit any property held subject to the terms of the Trusts to be diverted to purposes other than the exclusive benefit of the Participants and their beneficiaries or for the administrative expenses
of the Plan Administrator and the Trusts; 
 (c) shall reduce any Vested Interest of a Participant on the later of the date
the amendment is adopted or the date the amendment is effective, except as permitted by law; 
 (d) shall reduce the Accounts
of any Participant; 
 (e) shall amend any vesting schedule with respect to any Participant who has at least three Years of
Service at the end of the election period described below, except as permitted by law, unless each such Participant shall have the right to elect to have the vesting schedule in effect prior to such amendment apply with respect to him, such
election, if any, to be made during the period beginning not later than the date the amendment is adopted and ending no earlier than sixty (60) days after the latest of the date the amendment is adopted, the amendment becomes effective, or the
Participant is issued written notice of the amendment by his Employer or the Plan Administrator; or 
  

 -41- 








 (f) shall increase the duties or liabilities of any Trustee without its written consent.

 14.2 Amendment of Plan. Subject to the limitations stated in section 14.1, the Company shall have the power to amend this
Plan in any manner that it deems desirable, and, not in limitation but in amplification of the foregoing, it shall have the right to change or modify the method of allocation of contributions hereunder, to change any provision relating to the
administration of this Plan, and to change any provision relating to the distribution or payment, or both, of any of the assets of the Trusts. 
 14.3 Termination of Plan. Any Employer, in its sole and absolute discretion, may permanently discontinue making contributions under this Plan or may terminate this Plan and the Trusts (with respect to all Employers if it is
the Company, or with respect to itself alone if it is an Employer other than the Company), completely or partially, at any time without any liability whatsoever for such permanent discontinuance or complete or partial termination. In any of such
events, the affected Participants, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Plan, shall have fully Vested Interests in the amounts credited to their respective Accounts at the time of such complete or partial termination of this Plan and the
Trusts or permanent discontinuance of contributions. All such Vested Interests shall be non-forfeitable. 
 14.4 Method of
Discontinuance. In the event an Employer decides to permanently discontinue making contributions, such decision shall be evidenced by an appropriate resolution of its Board and a certified copy of such resolution shall be delivered to the
Plan Administrator and the Trustees. All of the assets in the Trust Funds belonging to the affected Participants on the date of discontinuance specified in such resolutions shall, aside from becoming fully vested as provided in section 14.3, be
held, administered and distributed by the Trustees in the manner provided under this Plan. In the event of a permanent discontinuance of contributions without such formal documentation, full vesting of the interests of the affected Participants in
the amounts credited to their respective Accounts will occur on the last day of the Plan Year in which a substantial contribution is made to the Trust. 
 14.5 Method of Termination. 
 (a) In the event an Employer decides to terminate
this Plan and the Trusts, such decision shall be evidenced by an appropriate resolution of its Board and a certified copy of such resolution shall be delivered to the Plan Administrator and the Trustees. After payment of all expenses and
proportional adjustments of individual accounts to reflect such expenses and other changes in the value of the Trust Funds as of the date of termination, each affected Participant (or the beneficiary or beneficiaries of any such Participant) shall
be entitled to receive, provided that the requirements set forth in section 14.5(b) are met, any amount then credited to his Accounts in a lump sum. 
  

 -42- 








 (b) In the event this Plan and the Trusts are terminated, completely or partially, and
with respect to any one Employer or with respect to all Employers, distributions may not be made pursuant to this section 14.5 unless: 
 (1) the Plan has been completely terminated and no successor plan (within the meaning of Section 401(k)(10) of the Code) has been established; 
 (2) the Plan has been partially terminated as a result of the sale or other disposition by an Employer to an unrelated corporation of
substantially all of the assets used in a trade or business, in which case distribution may be made to employees who continue employment with the acquiring corporation; or 
 (3) the Plan has been partially terminated as a result of the sale or other disposition by an Employer of its interest in a subsidiary, in
which case distribution may be made to employees who continue employment with the subsidiary. 
 (c) At the election of the
Participant, the Plan Administrator may transfer the amount of any Participant’s distribution under this section 14.5 to the trustee of another qualified plan or the trustee of an individual retirement account or individual retirement annuity
instead of distributing such amount to the Participant. Any such election by a Participant shall be in writing and filed with the Plan Administrator. 
 ARTICLE XV 
 Miscellaneous 
 15.1 Merger or Consolidation. This Plan and the Trusts may not be merged or consolidated with, and the assets or liabilities of this Plan
and the Trusts may not be transferred to, any other plan or trust unless each Participant would receive a benefit immediately after the merger, consolidation, or transfer, if the plan and trusts then terminated, that is equal to or greater than the
benefit the Participant would have received immediately before the merger, consolidation, or transfer if this Plan and the Trusts had then terminated. 
 15.2 Alienation. 
 (a) Except as otherwise provided in this section 15.2 or in
Article XI, no Participant or beneficiary of a Participant shall have any right to assign, transfer, appropriate, encumber, commute, anticipate, or otherwise alienate his interest in this Plan or the Trusts or any payments to be made thereunder; no
benefits, payments, rights, or interests of a Participant or beneficiary of a Participant of any kind or nature shall be in any way subject to legal process to levy upon, garnish, or attach the same for payment of any claim against the Participant
or beneficiary of a Participant; and no Participant or beneficiary of a Participant shall have any right of any kind whatsoever with respect to the Trusts, or any estate or interest therein, or with respect to any other property or right, other than
the right to receive such distributions as are lawfully made out of the Trusts, as and when the same respectively are due and payable under the terms of this Plan and the Trusts. 
  

 -43- 








 (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of section 15.2(a), the Plan Administrator shall
direct the Trustees to make payments pursuant to a Qualified Domestic Relations Order as defined in Section 414(p) of the Code. The Administrator shall establish procedures consistent with Section 414(p) of the Code to determine if any
order received by the Administrator or any other fiduciary of the Plan is a Qualified Domestic Relations Order. 
 (c)
Notwithstanding the provisions of section 15.2(a), the Plan Administrator shall direct the Trustees to comply with the lawful terms of a levy of the Internal Revenue Service. 
 (d) Effective August 5, 1997, the provisions of section 15.2(a) shall not apply to any offset of a Participant’s benefits
provided under the Plan against an amount that the Participant is ordered or required to pay to the Plan if: 
 (1) the order
or requirement to pay arises: 
 (A) under a judgment of conviction for a crime involving the Plan, 
 (B) under a civil judgment (including a consent order or decree) entered by a court in an action brought in connection with a violation
(or alleged violation) of part 4 of subtitle B of title I of ERISA, or

Secretary of Labor and the Participant, or a settlement agreement between the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation and the Participant, in connection with a violation (or alleged violation) of part 4 of subtitle B of title I of ERISA by a fiduciary
or any other person; and 
 (2) the judgment, order, decree, or settlement agreement expressly provides for the offset of all
or part of the amount ordered or required to be paid to the Plan against the Participant’s benefits provided under the Plan. 
 15.3
Governing Law. This Plan shall be administered, construed, and enforced according to the laws of the State of Florida, except to the extent such laws have been expressly preempted by federal law. 
 15.4 Action by Employer. Whenever the Company or another Employer under the terms of this Plan is permitted or required to do or perform
any act, it shall be done and performed by or at the direction of the Board of Directors of the Company or such other Employer (or the Executive Committee as authorized by the Board) and shall be evidenced by proper resolution of such Board of
Directors (or the Executive Committee as authorized by the Board) certified by the Secretary or Assistant Secretary of the Company or such other Employer. 
  

 -44- 








 15.5 Alternative Actions. In the event it becomes impossible for the Company, another
Employer, the Plan Administrator, or the Trustees to perform any act required by this Plan, then the Company, such other Employer, the Administrator, or the Trustees, as the case may be, may perform such alternative act that most nearly carries out
the intent and purpose of this Plan. 
 15.6 Gender. Throughout this Plan, and whenever appropriate, the masculine gender shall
be deemed to include the feminine and neuter; the singular, the plural; and vice versa. 
 15.7 Veterans’ Reemployment
Rights. Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, effective as of December 12, 1994, contributions, benefits, and service credit with respect to qualified military service will be provided in accordance with
Section 414(u) of the Code.
