The Prudential Supplemental Retirement Plan



 Exhibit 10.35 
 PRUDENTIAL SUPPLEMENTAL 
 RETIREMENT PLAN 
 (Amended and restated effective as of January 1, 2009, 
 except as otherwise provided herein) 
 The Prudential Supplemental Retirement Plan (the “Plan”)
has been established by The Prudential Insurance Company of America, effective January 1, 1996, for the purpose of providing unfunded supplemental retirement benefits for certain eligible employees (and their beneficiaries) that cannot be
provided by the Retirement Plan (as defined below) because of limits imposed by the Internal Revenue Code (“Code”). The Plan provides Participants (and their beneficiaries) with one or more of the following categories of benefits:
(a) Supplemental Benefits (i.e., excluded compensation benefits, excess benefits, and deferred compensation benefits); (b) Special Early Retirement Benefits; (c) Death Benefits; and (d) ad hoc cost of living adjustments.

 The portion of the Plan that provides excess benefits (i.e., benefits that, pursuant to Code section 415, may not be provided under
a tax-qualified retirement plan) is intended to be, and shall be administered as, an excess benefit plan within the meaning of section 3(36) of ERISA (as defined below). The remainder of the Plan is intended to be, and shall be administered as, an
unfunded plan maintained for the purpose of providing deferred compensation for a select group of management or highly compensated employees within the meaning of Title I of ERISA. 
 The Plan, as restated as of January 1, 1996, was a restatement of that portion of the prior programs that related to benefits under the Retirement
Plan. That portion of the prior programs that related to benefits under the Canadian Retirement Plan was not affected by the restatement. Amounts accrued, but not yet paid under the prior programs on December 31, 1995, that were related to
benefits under the Retirement Plan shall be paid under this Plan; provided that Participants who incurred a Termination of Employment prior to January 1, 1996 shall receive benefits in accordance with the terms of the prior programs in effect
at such Termination of Employment. 
 The Plan, as restated as of January 1, 2001, is a restatement that reflects certain changes to the
Retirement Plan, including implementation of a cash balance formula with respect to new hires and rehires on and after January 1, 2001, and implementation of an elective cash balance formula with respect to Eligible Employees who were employed
on December 31, 2000, had accrued Benefits under the Prudential Traditional Retirement Plan, remained Employees through January 1, 2002, and elected to participate in the Prudential Cash Balance Plan. Amounts accrued, but not yet paid on
December 31, 2000, that were related to benefits under the Prudential Traditional Retirement Plan shall be paid under this Plan; provided that Participants who incurred a Termination of Employment prior to January 1, 2001 shall receive
benefits in accordance with the terms of the Plan in effect at such Termination of Employment. 
 The Plan, as restated as of June 30,
2003, reflects authorized changes to The Prudential Merged Retirement Plan effective through June 30, 2003 that affect the Plan and certain administrative changes or clarifications that have an insubstantial financial effect on Plan benefits
and expenses. 
 The Plan, as restated as of December 1, 2003, and as further amended (collectively, the “December 1, 2003
Restatement”), reflected benefit payment changes needed to ease administration of tax withholding and reporting. The terms and conditions of the December 1, 2003 Restatement, to the extent such terms and conditions were applied in
reasonable good faith compliance with Section 409A, govern the determination and the time and form of benefits payable to Participants (and their Beneficiaries) who either: (a) incurred a Termination of Employment during the period from
December 1, 2003 to December 31, 2004 or (b) incurred a Termination of Employment after 2004 and commenced receiving payment of their benefits under the Plan prior to January 1, 2009. 







 The Plan, as restated effective as of January 1, 2009, reflects design changes authorized and
intended to comply with Section 409A. Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, this Plan shall be interpreted, operated and administered in a manner consistent with this intention. The restated Plan, as set forth herein, shall
govern the determination and the time and form of benefits payable to Participants and their Beneficiaries who incurred a Termination of Employment after 2004 and have not commenced receiving payment of their benefits under the Plan prior to
January 1, 2009 (i.e., excluding those who did not accrue any Benefits after December 31, 2004).

In the event such Participant did not make an election as permitted herein, the Benefits described in this Section 5.04(b) shall be paid in a lump sum. 
 5.05 Annuity Form of Payment. The annuity forms of payment (the “Annuity Form”) under the Plan are treated as Actuarial Equivalent life annuities pursuant to Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-2(b)(2)(ii). In the event a
Participant has elected or is scheduled to receive benefits under the Plan in the Annuity Form, the particular annuity form of payment shall be based on a Participant’s marital status at the Determination Date and shall be determined as
follows: 
 (a) Single Traditional. An unmarried Participant with Benefits attributable to the Prudential Traditional Retirement Plan
shall be paid in the form of a single life annuity with fifteen (15) year period certain; provided, however, if the Participant is not a Retired Participant (as defined under the Retirement Plan), the Participant may elect to receive an
Actuarial Equivalent single life annuity. If a Participant is to be paid in the form of a single life annuity with fifteen (15) year period certain under this Section 5.05(a), the Participant’s fifteen (15) year period certain
shall begin on the Determination Date (i.e., any six-month delay period shall be counted as part of such fifteen (15) year period certain). 
 (b) Single Cash Balance. An unmarried Grandfathered Employee with Benefits attributable to the Prudential Cash Balance Plan shall be paid in the form of a single life annuity. 
 (c) Married. A married Participant’s Annuity Form will be paid as a 50% joint and survivor annuity. 
 (d) Change in Marital Status After the Status Date. Notwithstanding anything else in this Article V to the contrary, if after the Status Date a
Participant has a change in marital status such that the form of annuity applicable to such Participant at the Determination Date under this Section 5.05 is not the Original Payment Form for such Participant, the annuity payable in the
applicable form to the Participant shall be adjusted to be the Actuarial Equivalent of the Original Payment Form for such Participant. 
 5.06 Pension
Make-Up Payments. 
 (a) General Rules. In the event a Participant continues to provide services to the Company and continues to
participate in the Plan after the Mandatory Payment Date, for each calendar year ending after the Mandatory Payment Date, the amount of any additional accrual of Benefits (excluding the value of any Benefits previously paid, or accounted for, to
date and adjusted for interest in accordance with the Prudential Cash Balance Plan) arising in respect of the Participant’s services in such year and any increase in the eligible compensation arising from the compensation payable for such year
shall be determined by the Company as of the January 1 of the following year and such incremental Benefits shall be paid or commence to be paid to the Participant within ninety (90) days of that date in the same form of payment established
for that portion of Benefits under the Plan attributable to services prior to the Mandatory Payment Date; provided, however, if the form of payment established for such other Benefits is the form described in Section 5.05(a) with a fifteen
(15) year period certain (the “Original Period Certain”), 

  

 - 12 - 








 
the amount of any additional accrual of Benefits under this Section 5.06 shall be paid in the form of a single life annuity with a period certain, if
any, that shall end on the same date as the Original Period Certain. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the amount of any Benefits under the Plan, determined as of any prior date, be reduced as a result of any subsequent determination
under this Section 5.06(a). 
 (b) Death of Participant. In the event a Participant entitled to receive a benefit under
Section 5.06(a) above dies prior to the commencement of the additional Benefits that have accrued for him or her under such Section, such Benefits shall be paid to the Beneficiary of such Participant as follows: (i) in a lump sum payment,
if this form of payment applied to the Participant on the Mandatory Payment Date or (ii) in the survivor form of annuity payment associated with the Annuity Form that applied to the Participant on the Mandatory Payment Date assuming, in the
case of the Annuity Form, that the benefit had commenced to be paid to the Participant immediately prior to his or her death, and the Participant dies immediately thereafter. The Benefits payable under this Section 5.06(b) shall be paid or
commence to be paid to the Beneficiary within ninety (90) days after the Participant’s death. 
 5.07 Effect of Early Taxation. If the
Participant’s benefits under the Plan are includible in income pursuant to Section 409A, such benefits shall be distributed immediately to the Participant. 
 5.08 Permitted Delays. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent permitted under Section 409A and the regulations promulgated thereunder, any payment to a Participant under the Plan shall be delayed
upon the Committee’s reasonable anticipation of one or more of the following events: 
 (a) The Company’s deduction with respect to
such payment would not be permitted due to the application of Code section 162(m)(other than the provisions of Section 162(m)(5), if applicable); or 
 (b) The making of the payment would violate Federal securities laws or other applicable law; 
 provided, that any payment
delayed pursuant to this Section 5.08 shall be paid in accordance with Section 409A on the earliest date in which the Company reasonably anticipates that: (1) the deduction of such payment will not be barred by the application of Code
section 162(m) (other than the provisions of Section 162(m)(5), if applicable); and (2) the making of the payment will not cause a violation of Federal securities laws or other applicable law. 
 5.09 FICA Tax Acceleration. The amount of any tax imposed pursuant to the Federal Insurance Contributions Act (“FICA”) on the Benefits under the Plan
and the income tax withholding related to such FICA amounts may be accelerated and paid in a lump sum in accordance with Section 9.07.

	 	(2)	Pension Make-Up Payments. If the Participant’s death occurs after his or her Mandatory Payment Date and, prior to the date of death, the Participant accrued additional

date of death in the form set forth below:

Death Benefit under the Plan in a lump sum. 
 (2) Grandfathered Cash Balance Death Benefits. A Participant who was a
Grandfathered Employee and accruing Benefits under the Prudential Cash Balance Plan as of January 1, 2008 may have elected during 2008 for the Beneficiary to receive that portion of his Pre-Retirement Death Benefit under the Plan in a single

 (b) Automatic Subsequent Deferral Elections for Traditional Death Benefits. If the Participant is accruing Benefits
under the Prudential Traditional Retirement Plan and experiences a change in marital status after the Status Date, the form of payment to the Beneficiary of that portion of the Participant’s Pre-Retirement Death Benefit under the Plan shall be
automatically changed to the form that would have been provided under Section 6.05(a) based on the Participant’s new marital status; provided, however, any such change in form may not take effect until the date that is twelve
(12) months after the date of such change in marital status. Notwithstanding the above, this Section 6.06(b) shall be void and shall not cause an automatic change in the form of payment following any Participant election under
Section 6.06(a) or 6.06(c). 
 (c) Participant Subsequent Deferral Elections. A Participant accruing Benefits under the
Prudential Traditional Retirement Plan or the Prudential Cash Balance Plan as a Grandfathered Employee may make a subsequent election to change the form of payment the Beneficiary shall receive upon death; provided, however, any such subsequent
election may not take effect until the date that is twelve (12) months after the date on which such subsequent election is made and must be made in accordance with the procedures and distribution rules established by the Committee, which shall
comply with any applicable provisions of Section 409A.

Benefits under the Plan and the income tax withholding related to such FICA amounts may be accelerated and paid in a lump sum in accordance with Section 9.07.

Early Retirement Benefits accrued prior to 1970 payable in the form of a single life annuity (without regards to the manner in which Special Early Retirement Benefits are actually paid to a Participant). The lump sum death benefit shall be payable
within ninety (90) days after the date of such Participant’s death to the Beneficiary designated by the Participant or as provided in Section 1.6 of the Plan.

 Article VII 
 ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN 
 7.01 Administration of the Plan. 
 (a) The Plan shall be administered by the Committee. The Committee shall maintain such procedures and records as will enable the Committee to determine
the Participants and their beneficiaries who are entitled to receive benefits under the Plan and the amounts thereof. 
 (b) The Senior Vice
President may, in his or her sole discretion, exercise the authority of the Committee and act as the Committee in administering the Plan. 
 7.02 General
Powers of Administration. The Committee shall have the exclusive right, power and authority to interpret, in its sole discretion, any and all of the provisions of the Plan; and to consider and decide conclusively any questions (whether of fact
or otherwise) arising in connection with the administration of the Plan or any claim for benefits arising under the Plan. Any decision or action of the Committee shall be conclusive and binding. 
 7.03 Claims Procedure. 
 (a) Filing a Claim. A
Participant or his authorized representative may file a claim for benefits under the Plan. Any claim must be in writing and submitted to the Committee at such address as may be specified from time to time. Claimants will be notified in writing of
approved claims, which will be processed as claimed. A claim is considered approved only if its approval is communicated in writing to a claimant. 
 (b) Denial of Claim. In the case of the denial of a claim respecting benefits paid or payable with respect to a Participant, a written notice will be furnished to the claimant within 90 days of the date on which the claim is received
by the Committee. If special circumstances (such as for a hearing) require a longer period, the claimant will be notified in writing, prior to the expiration of the 90-day period, of the reasons for an extension of time; provided, however, that no
extensions will be permitted beyond 90 days after the expiration of the initial 90-day period. 
 (c) Reasons for Denial. A denial or
partial denial of a claim will be dated and signed by the Committee and will clearly set forth: 
 (1) the specific reason or
reasons for the denial; 
 (2) specific reference to pertinent Plan provisions on which the denial is based; 
 (3) a description of any additional material or information necessary for the claimant to perfect the claim and an explanation of why such
material or information is necessary; and 
 (4) an explanation of the procedure for review of the denied or partially denied
claim set forth below, including the claimant’s right to bring a civil action under ERISA section 502(a) following an adverse benefit determination on review. 
  

 - 17 - 








 (d) Review of Denial. Upon denial of a claim, in whole or in part, a claimant or his duly
authorized representative will have the right to submit a written request to the Committee for a full and fair review of the denied claim by filing a written notice of appeal with the Committee within 60 days of the receipt by the claimant of
written notice of the denial of the claim. A claimant or the claimant’s authorized representative will have, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records, and other information relevant to the
claimant’s claim for benefits and may submit issues and comments in writing. The review will take into account all comments, documents, records, and other information submitted by the claimant relating to the claim, without regard to whether
such information was submitted or considered in the initial benefit determination. 
 If the claimant fails to file a request for review
within 60 days of the denial notification, the claim will be deemed abandoned and the claimant precluded from reasserting it. If the claimant does file a request for review, his request must include a description of the issues and evidence he deems
relevant. Failure to raise issues or present evidence on review will preclude those issues or evidence from being presented in any subsequent proceeding or judicial review of the claim. 
 (e) Decision Upon Review. The Committee will provide a prompt written decision on review. If the claim is denied on review, the decision shall set
forth: 
 (1) the specific reason or reasons for the adverse determination; 
 (2) specific reference to pertinent Plan provisions on which the adverse determination is based; 
 (3) a statement that the claimant is entitled to receive, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all
documents, records, and other information relevant to the claimant’s claim for benefits; and 
 (4) a statement
describing any voluntary appeal procedures offered by the Plan and the claimant’s right to obtain the information about such procedures, as well as a statement of the claimant’s right to bring an action under ERISA section 502(a).

 A decision will be rendered no more than 60 days after the Committee’s receipt of the request for review, except that such period may
be extended for an additional 60 days if the Committee determines that special circumstances (such as for a hearing) require such extension. If an extension of time is required, written notice of the extension will be furnished to the claimant
before the end of the initial 60-day period. 
 (f) Finality of Determinations; Exhaustion of Remedies. To the extent permitted by
law, decisions reached under the claims procedures set forth in this Section shall be final and binding on all parties. No legal action for benefits under the Plan shall be brought unless and until the claimant has exhausted his remedies under this
Section. In any such legal action, the claimant may only present evidence and theories which the claimant presented during the claims procedure. Any claims which the claimant does not in good faith pursue through the review stage of the procedure
shall be treated as having been irrevocably waived. Judicial review of a claimant’s denied claim shall be limited to a determination of whether the denial was an abuse of discretion based on the evidence and theories the claimant presented
during the claims procedure. 
 (g) Limitations Period. Any suit or legal action initiated by a claimant under the Plan must be
brought by the claimant no later than one year following a final decision on the claim for benefits by the Committee. The one-year limitation on suits for benefits will apply in any forum where a claimant initiates such suit or legal action.

  

 - 18 - 








 7.04 Indemnification. To the extent not covered by insurance, the Company shall indemnify the Committee, each
employee, officer, director, and agent of the Company, and all persons formerly serving in such capacities, against any and all liabilities or expenses, including all legal fees relating thereto, arising in connection with the exercise of their
duties and responsibilities with respect to the Plan, provided however that the Company shall not indemnify any person for liabilities or expenses due to that person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct. 
  

 - 19 - 








 Article VIII 
 AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION 
 8.01 Change or Termination of the Plan. 
 (a) The Company reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan when, in the sole discretion of the Company, such amendment or termination is
advisable, pursuant to a written resolution of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment or termination of the Plan shall have the effect of reducing a Participant’s accrued Benefits under
the Plan or vesting status under the Plan as in effect immediately prior to the adoption of such amendment or termination of the Plan (or, if later, the effective date of such amendment or termination of the plan); provided, however, that the
Company reserves the right to amend or change any forms of benefit payment provided under the Plan in any respect and at any time. 
 No
amendment will be considered as having the effect of reducing a Participant’s accrued Benefits under the Plan if the change, when taken together with other changes in a Participant’s compensation or the Prudential Merged Retirement Plan
made concurrently with the amendment, does not result in total payments by the Company, its Affiliates, and the Prudential Merged Retirement Plan being reduced or of lesser value. 
 (b) The Senior Vice President may adopt minor amendments to the Plan without approval by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors that
(1) are necessary or advisable for purposes of compliance with applicable laws and regulations, (2) relate to administrative practices, or (3) have an insubstantial financial effect on Plan benefits and expenses. 
 (c) Each Participant in service on or after January 1, 1994 (or Beneficiary of such Participant) shall be fully vested in benefits accrued prior to
January 1, 1994 under the Plan. In addition, each Participant whose benefits under the Prudential Merged Retirement Plan are vested in connection with the 2007 Qualified Future Transfer pursuant to Section 2602(c) of the Prudential
Traditional Retirement Plan shall be vested in benefits accrued under this Plan. 
 (d) Upon termination of the Plan, distribution of Plan
benefits shall be made to Participants and beneficiaries in the manner and at the time described in Article V, unless the Company determines in its sole discretion that all such amounts shall be distributed earlier in connection with the Plan’s
termination in accordance with the requirements under Section 409A. Upon termination of the Plan, no further benefit accruals shall occur. 
  

 - 20 - 








 Article IX 
 GENERAL PROVISIONS 
 9.01 Participant’s Rights Unsecured and Unfunded. The Plan at all times shall
be entirely unfunded. No assets of the Company or any other Participating Affiliated Company shall be segregated or earmarked to represent the liability for accrued benefits under the Plan. The right of a Participant (or his or her Beneficiary) to
receive a payment hereunder shall be an unsecured claim against the general assets of the Company. All payments under the Plan shall be made from the general assets of the Company. 
 9.02 Transfer of Obligations. Effective December 10, 1996, by written action of the Chief Financial Officer of the Company as memorialized in an officer’s certificate, the Company may transfer and
thereby be released from its primary liability for all or part of its payment obligations under the Plan, provided that the transferee is an affiliate of the Company, the Company and the transferee enter into a written agreement with respect to the
transfer and assumption of liabilities, and the rights of the employees to receive their benefits under the Plan are not impaired as a result of the transfer and assumption of liabilities under and in accordance with the transfer and assumption
agreement. 
 9.03 No Guarantee of Benefits. Nothing contained in the Plan shall constitute a guaranty by the Employer or any other person or entity
that the assets of the Company will be sufficient to pay any benefit hereunder. 
 9.04 No Enlargement of Employee Rights. Participation in the Plan
shall not be construed to give any Participant the right to be retained in the service of any Employer. 
 9.05 Non-Alienation Provision. No interest
of any person or entity in, or right to receive a benefit or distribution under, the Plan shall be subject in any manner to sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, attachment, garnishment, or other alienation or encumbrance of any kind; nor may such
interest or right to receive a distribution be taken, either voluntarily or involuntarily for the satisfaction of the debts of, or other obligations or claims against, such person or entity, including claims for alimony, support, separate
maintenance and claims in bankruptcy proceedings. 
 9.06 Applicable Law. The Plan shall be construed and administered under the laws of the State of
New Jersey, except to the extent that such laws are preempted by ERISA. 
 9.07 Taxes. To the extent required by law, amounts accrued under the Plan
shall be subject to Federal social security and unemployment taxes during the year the services giving rise to such amounts were performed (or, if later, when the amounts are both determinable and not subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture).
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company or the Employer, as applicable, shall withhold from any payments made pursuant to the Plan or any other compensation that may be payable to or in respect of the Participant, such amounts
as may be required by Federal, state or local law, or may alternatively require that the Participant pay any FICA taxes owed in respect of the Benefits through personal check or payroll deduction. In addition, the Company may determine to accelerate
and pay a portion of the Benefits accrued hereunder as and when any FICA tax is due in respect of such Benefits, including on the date that such benefits are treated as reasonably ascertainable within the meaning of, and in accordance with such
procedures as shall be permitted under, IRS regulations under Code section 3121(v)(2). Such accelerated distribution shall equal the amount of such FICA tax and the income tax withholding required in respect of the amount distributable to satisfy
such FICA tax liability (collectively, the “FICA Liability Distribution”). To the extent that any FICA Liability Distribution is made, it shall not affect the determination of the amount of 

  

 - 21 - 








 
benefits otherwise payable under the Plan; provided, however, that to the extent that any FICA Liability Distribution is made, the amount of the Benefits
distributable shall be adjusted in the manner set forth in the following sentence, in order to reflect the dollar amount of the FICA Liability Distribution that has been accelerated and paid from such Benefits in the manner permitted by
Section 1.409A-3(j)(4)(vi) of the Treasury Regulations. If the Benefits are payable hereunder in the Annuity Form, an amount equal to the FICA Liability Distribution will be debited from the amount payable to the Participant (or, if applicable,
the Participant’s Beneficiary) beginning on the Participant’s Payment Date (or at any earlier time of payment due to the Participant’s death) and, to the extent the FICA Liability Distribution exceeds the amount then due to the
Participant, ending on the date that the aggregate amount of payments that would have been paid to the Participant (or, if applicable, the Participant’s Beneficiary) hereunder, without regard to the FICA Liability Distribution, equal or exceed
the amount of such FICA Liability Distribution. If the Benefits are payable hereunder in a lump sum payment, the amount payable to the Participant (or, if applicable, the Participant’s Beneficiary) on the Participant’s Payment Date (or at
any earlier time of payment due to the Participant’s death) shall be made net of the amount of the FICA Liability Distribution. The Company or the Employer, as applicable, shall report Plan payments and other Plan related information to the
appropriate governmental agencies as required under applicable laws. 
 9.08 Excess Payments. If the compensation, years of service, age, or any other
relevant fact relating to any person is found to have been misstated, the Plan benefit payable by the Company to a Participant or Beneficiary shall be the Plan benefit which would have been provided on the basis of the correct information. Any
excess payments due to such misstatement, or due to any other mistake of fact or law, shall be refunded to the Company. 
 9.09 No Impact on Other
Benefits. Amounts accrued or paid under the Plan shall not be included in a Participant’s compensation for purposes of calculating benefits under any other plan, program or arrangement sponsored by the Employer or Participating Subsidiary,
unless such plan, program or arrangement expressly provides that amounts accrued or paid under the Plan shall be included. 
 9.10 Data. Each
Participant or Beneficiary shall furnish the Committee with all proofs of dates of birth and death and proofs of continued existence necessary for the administration of the Plan, and the Company shall not be liable for the fulfillment of any Plan
benefits in any way dependent upon such information unless and until the same shall have been received by the Committee, or its designee, in a form satisfactory to it. 
 9.11 Incapacity of Recipient. 
 (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 9.11(b) below, if a
Participant or other Beneficiary entitled to a distribution under the Plan is living under guardianship or conservatorship, distributions payable under the terms of the Plan to such Participant or Beneficiary shall be paid to his or her appointed
guardian or conservator and such payment shall be a complete discharge of any liability of the Company under the Plan. 
 (b) Notwithstanding
the provisions of Section 9.11(a) above, if a Participant or other Beneficiary entitled to a distribution under the Plan is, in the opinion of the Committee, at any time physically or mentally incapable of personally receiving and giving a
valid receipt for any payment under the Plan, the Committee may, unless and until a claim shall have been made by a duly qualified guardian or conservator of such person, direct payment thereof to any person or institution then, in the opinion of
the Committee, contributing toward or providing for the care or maintenance of such person and such payment shall completely discharge all liability of the Committee with respect to the amount so paid. 
  

 - 22 - 








 9.12 Severability. In the event any provision of the Plan shall be held invalid or illegal for any reason, any
illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts of the Plan, but the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision had never been inserted. 
 9.13 Usage of Terms and Headings. Words in the masculine gender shall include the feminine and the singular shall include the plural, and vice versa, unless qualified by the context. Any headings are included
for ease of reference only, and are not to be construed to alter the terms of the Plan.
