 ARTICLE III 
 ELIGIBILITY AND
MEMBERSHIP 
  

	 3.1
	 Open Enrollment Period. The Committee will have the sole discretion to determine the Eligible Employees who are eligible to become Participants in
accordance with the purpose of this Plan. During the Open Enrollment Period, each Eligible Employee will be contacted and informed that he or she may select a Level of Participation and elect to defer portions of his or her Covered Salary to this
Plan for the following Plan Year and will be provided with an Election to Participate and a Plan Agreement. An Eligible Employee will become a Participant by completing such forms and selecting a Level of Participation and making a Deferral election
pursuant to Section 3.3. 


  

	 3.2
	 Eligibility on Initial Employment. If an Eligible Employee is first designated by the Committee to be a Participant after the commencement of a Plan Year,
then as permitted pursuant to section 409A of the Code, such Eligible Employee may elect to participate in this Plan during the Special Enrollment Period for the remainder of such Plan Year. 


  

	 3.3
	 Level of Participation and Deferral of Covered Salary. Each Eligible Employee who elects to participate in this Plan must select a Level of Participation
and must elect to defer an associated amount of Covered Salary. Such Deferral election will become effective as of the first day of the immediately following Plan Year, in the case of enrollment pursuant to Section 3.1, and effective for
the remainder of the Plan Year, in the case of enrollment pursuant to Section 3.2, and will continue in force for all subsequent Plan Years unless it is modified or revoked by the Participant prior to the beginning of each Plan Year. By
making a Deferral election, the Participant agrees that all amounts of Covered Salary deferred thereby will be irrevocably deferred and that the Participant will be entitled solely to the benefits provided under this Plan.



 A Participant may elect to change his or her Level of Participation for any subsequent Plan Year to
either modify such Level of Participation from fifty percent (50%) to one hundred percent (100%) of Covered Salary, or visa versa. Additionally, a Participant may elect to forego additional increases in Covered Salary. Any such change in
the Level of Participation or Deferral election will be reflected in a new Plan Agreement and Election to Participate and will become effective as of January 1 of the immediately following Plan Year. A Participant who changes his or her Level
of Participation will continue to be Vested with respect to the new Level of Participation to the same extent the Participant was Vested in the prior Level of Participation. A Participant’s Deferral election will cease as of the earlier of his
or her separation from service (including a deemed separation from service on account of Disability as provided in Article VI), Retirement, or at the end of the Plan Year in which his or her Plan Agreement is terminated. The amount of each
Participant’s Covered Salary deferred pursuant to this Article III, will be and remain solely the property of the Employer, and a Participant will have no right thereto, nor will the Employer be obligated to use such amounts in any
specific manner. In the event a Participant changes his or her Level of Participation, such change will affect (in a pro-rata manner) the Participant’s Deferrals and the Participant’s projected benefits under this Plan. The affect of such
change will be reflected on the Participant’s Election to Participate and Plan Agreement with respect to both the Participant’s Deferrals and the Participant’s projected benefits. 
  

	 3.4
	 Loss of Eligibility Status. A Participant under this Plan who separates from service with the Employer prior to Retirement for a reason other than death,
Disability or Cause, or who ceases to be an Eligible 










 
Employee after having become fully or partially Vested will be entitled to a Deferred Retirement Benefit pursuant to Article IV. Conversely, a
Participant under this Plan who separates from service with the Employer for Cause regardless of whether such Participant has become fully or partially Vested, will not be entitled to any benefits under this Plan. Likewise, a Participant under this
Plan who separates from service with the Employer for a reason other than death or who ceases to be an Eligible Employee, before having become fully or partially Vested will not be entitled to any benefits under this Plan except as provided in
Article VIII regarding termination of this Plan. 
 ARTICLE IV 
 RETIREMENT BENEFIT AND BENEFIT UPON 
 SEPARATION FROM SERVICE 

 

	 4.1
	 Normal Retirement Benefit. An Eligible Employee will be entitled to a Normal Retirement Benefit under this Plan if he or she continues in the employment
of the Employer as a Participant in this Plan until the Participant’s Normal Retirement Age (i.e., the Participant’s Election to Participate and Plan Agreement have been kept in force), has fully Vested and Retires (i.e.,
Retires at his or her Normal Retirement Date). Such Normal Retirement Benefit will equal the total amount specified in the Participant’s Plan Agreement as a Retirement Benefit and will be divided into a Part A Benefit and a Part B Benefit:



  

	 	 (a)
	 Part A Benefit. The Part A Benefit is a monthly Retirement Benefit which will equal the amount and will be paid for the duration of time specified in the
Participant’s Plan Agreement commencing as of the first day of the month following the Participant’s Retirement subject to the provisions of Section 4.6 for Key Employees and pursuant to Section 4.5 for Participants
who elect to delay payment of retirement benefits. 


  

	 	 (b)
	 Part B Benefit. The Part B Benefit is a Post Retirement Death Benefit for the amount specified in the Participant’s Plan Agreement and will be paid
to the Participant’s Beneficiary in a lump sum upon the death of the Participant. 


  

	 4.2
	 Late Retirement Benefit. A Participant who satisfies the criteria set forth in Section 4.1 and who continues employment with the Employer
after his or her Normal Retirement Age will be entitled to payment of his or her Normal Retirement Benefit upon his or her Retirement in accordance with Section 4.1. 


  

	 4.3
	 Early Retirement Benefit. An Eligible Employee will be entitled to an Early Retirement Benefit under this Plan if he or she continues in the employment of
the Employer as a Participant in this Plan until the Participant’s Early Retirement Age (i.e., the Participant’s Election to Participate and Plan Agreement have been kept in force), has fully vested and Retires (i.e., Retires
on or after his or her Early Retirement Date but before his or her Normal Retirement Date). In such event, the Participant’s Early Retirement Benefit will be the Part A Benefit described in Section 4.1(a) multiplied by a fraction,
which will not exceed one (1), the numerator of which is the number of whole years between the Participant’s Original Entry Date and the date of his or her Retirement and the denominator of which is the number of whole years between the
Participant’s Original Entry Date and the Participant’s Normal Retirement Date. The said amount will be the only benefit to which such Participant will be entitled prior to his or her death and will be paid in accordance with
Section 4.1(a) above. 


 The Part B Death Benefit, payable by reason of the Participant’s
early Retirement will be calculated in accordance with the formula as stated in this Section 4.3. Such Part B Death Benefit, will be paid to the Participant’s Beneficiary in a lump sum at the time of the Participant’s death.

  

	 4.4
	 Deferred Retirement Benefit. A Participant who ceases to be a Participant after becoming fully or partially Vested before his or her Retirement Date
(other than as a result of death, Disability or separation from service for Cause), will receive a Deferred Retirement Benefit which will be payable in the manner 










 
specified in Section 4.1 upon the earlier of (a) the Participant’s death or (b) the Participant’s separation from service and
attainment of Normal Retirement Age, subject to the provisions of Section 4.7 regarding de minimis payments. 
 The Part A Deferred Retirement Benefit payable to the Participant pursuant to this Section 4.4 will be the Part A Benefit described in Section 4.1(a) multiplied (i) by a fraction which will not exceed one (1),
the numerator of which is the number of whole years between the Participant’s Original Entry Date and the date the Employee ceases to be a Participant as described above and the denominator of which is the number of whole years between the
Participant’s Original Entry Date and the Participant’s Normal Retirement Date and by (ii) the Participant’s Vested Percentage as of the date the Participant ceased to be a Participant. The Part B Post Retirement Death Benefit,
payable to the Participant pursuant to this Section 4.4 will be the Part B Death Benefit described in Section 4.1(b) calculated in accordance with the formula as stated in this Section 4.4. 
 Such prorated Part A Benefit amount and prorated Part B Benefit will be the only benefit to which such Participant will be entitled if the
Participant lives to the Participant’s Normal Retirement Age. If the Participant dies prior to such date, such prorated Part B Benefit will be paid to the Participant’s Beneficiary in a lump sum upon the death of the Participant and said
prorated Part A Benefit will commence upon the death of the Participant and be paid to the Participant’s Beneficiary pursuant to Section 4.1(a). 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.4, a Participant who ceases to be an Employee after becoming fully or partially Vested due to Cause will not be entitled to
any benefits under this Plan, and the Employer will have no obligation to such Participant. 
  

	 4.5
	 Election to Delay Payment of Retirement Benefit. As permitted by section 409A of the Code, the Participant may irrevocably elect (by filing with the
Company an Election Form) to delay the commencement of his or her Early Retirement Benefit payable pursuant to Section 4.3 or Normal Retirement Benefit payable pursuant to Section 4.1 to the date which is five (5) years
after the date such payment would have otherwise been made (i.e., the first day of the month following the Participant’s Retirement (or the date specified in the Participant’s Plan Agreement)) provided that such election is made at
least twelve (12) months before the payment would have otherwise been made (i.e., is made at least twelve (12) months prior to Retirement (or the date specified in the Participant’s Plan Agreement)). For example, if a
Participant makes such election at age sixty (60) and Retires at age sixty-two (62), payment of his or her Normal Retirement Benefit will not be made until age sixty-seven (67). Similarly, if a Participant makes such election and Retires at age
sixty-five (65), payment of his or Normal Retirement Benefit will not commence until age seventy (70). 


 If
a Participant makes an election pursuant to this Section 4.5 and Retires less than twelve (12) months thereafter, such election will be of no effect and payment of his or her Retirement Benefit will be made pursuant to
Section 4.1 regarding the Normal Retirement Benefit or Section 4.3 regarding the Early Retirement Benefit, subject to Section 4.6. Likewise, if a Participant does not elect to delay the payment of his or her Early
Retirement Benefit or Normal Retirement Benefit pursuant to this Section 4.5, payment of such Early Retirement Benefit or Normal Retirement Benefit, will, subject to Section 4.6, commence as of the first day of the month
following the Participant’s Retirement as provided in Section 4.1 regarding the Normal Retirement Benefit or Section 4.3 regarding the Early Retirement Benefit. 
 The election provided pursuant to this Section 4.5 will not be applicable to the Deferred Vested Retirement Benefit payable
pursuant to Section 4.4. 
  

	 4.6
	 Termination Distributions to Key Employees. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article IV, distributions under this Plan that are
payable to a Key Employee on account of Retirement will be delayed for a period of six (6) months and one (1) day following such Participant’s Retirement. This restriction will not apply, or will cease to apply, with respect to a
distribution to a Participant’s Beneficiary by reason of the death of the Participant. 










	 4.7
	 De Minimis Distributions. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article IV, in the event that a Participant ceases participation in this
Plan and the Participant’s Vested Percentage in his Retirement Benefit does not exceed ten thousand dollars ($10,000) (or such other amount as may be prescribed pursuant to regulations issued under section 409A of the Code), such benefit will
be paid to the Participant in the form of a lump sum cash payment upon the earlier of (a) his or her separation from service with the Company and its Subsidiaries or (b) December 31 of the fifth (5th) year after the year in which
the Participant ceased participation in the Plan. Such lump sum payment will be made, subject to the provisions of Section 4.6, as soon as practicable following the date set forth above but no later than the later of December 31 of
the calendar year in which the Participant separates from service or the fifteenth (15th) day of the third (3rd) month following the Participant’s separation from service. At the time the Participant receives such distribution his
non-Vested Percentage in his Retirement Benefit will be forfeited and such Participant will be precluded from recommencing participation in this Plan for a period of five (5) years following the date of such distribution.



 ARTICLE V 
 DEATH BENEFIT 
  

	 5.1
	 Amount and Payment of Death Benefit. If a Participant dies before Retirement and this Plan is in effect at the time, the Employer will pay or cause to be
paid a Death Benefit to such Participant’s Beneficiary. The Death Benefit will be the greater of (a) the Early Retirement Benefit payable pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.3 determined as if the Participant were fully
Vested or (b) one hundred percent (100%) of the Participant’s Covered Salary as set forth in the Participant’s Plan Agreement for the first twelve (12) months after such death and fifty percent (50%) of the said Covered
Salary for the next one hundred and eight (108) months or until the Participant’s Normal Retirement Age, whichever is later. Such payments will commence as of the first day of the month following the date of death after notification of
death has been given to the Employer. 


  

	 5.2
	 Entitlement to Death Benefit. The obligation of the Employer to pay the Death Benefit will exist only if: 


  

	 	 (a)
	 at the time of death the Participant was an Employee, Disabled, or on an authorized leave of absence; 


  

	 	 (b)
	 the Plan Agreement was in force on the date of death; 


  

	 	 (c)
	 the Participant’s death was not a result of suicide within two (2) years after the date of the Participant’s original Plan Agreement, or within
two (2) years of the date of any subsequent Plan Agreement which is the result of additional benefits granted because of an increase in the Participant’s Covered Salary or a change in the Level of Participation, but the amount of the Death
Benefit which the Employer will not be obligated to pay will be limited to additional benefits granted within two (2) years prior to the date of such suicide; 


  

	 	 (d)
	 the Participant’s death was determined not to be from a bodily or mental cause or causes, the information about which was withheld, or knowingly concealed,
or falsely provided by the Participant when requested by the Employer to furnish evidence of good health upon the Participant’s enrolling in this Plan or for any increase in the Participant’s Covered Salary, but the amount of the Death
Benefit which the Employer will not be obligated to pay will be limited to additional benefits granted within two (2) years prior to the date of such last increment of Covered Salary; and 


  

	 	 (e)
	 proof of death in such form as determined acceptable by the Committee is furnished. 


  

	 5.3
	 Beneficiary Designation. A Participant may designate a Beneficiary by completing and filing a Designation of Beneficiary Form with the Committee. If more
than one Beneficiary is named, the shares 










 
and preference of each will be indicated. If the Participant is married, his or her spouse will automatically be his or her Beneficiary unless another
Beneficiary is designated under this Section 5.3 and the Participant’s spouse consents in writing to such other Beneficiary designation. The effective date of a Beneficiary Designation will be the date such Designation of
Beneficiary Form was executed by the Participant. 
 If the Committee has any doubt as to the proper Beneficiary to receive
payments pursuant to this Plan, it will have the right to withhold such payments until the matter is finally adjudicated. Any payment made by the Employer in accordance with this Plan in good faith will fully discharge the Employer from all further
obligations with respect to such payment. 
 ARTICLE VI 
 DISABILITY 
  

	 6.1
	 Entitlement to Disability Benefit. A Participant who becomes Disabled while in the employ of the Employer will be entitled, subject to the provisions of
Section 4.6, to payment of a Disability Benefit pursuant to this Article VI. During the first six (6) months of such Disability, the Participant’s Deferrals will continue under this Plan and such six (6) month period will be
included in any calculation of the Participant’s Vested Percentage. At the end of such six (6) month period, the Participant will be deemed to have incurred a separation from service for purposes of section 409A of the Code and such Deferrals
will cease. A Disability Benefit will be paid as a pro rated Normal Retirement Benefit pursuant to Section 4.1 upon (a) the Participant’s attainment of Normal Retirement Age, if the Participant becomes Disabled before attaining Early
Retirement Age or (b) the first of the month following the Participant’s deemed separation from service pursuant to this Section 6.1 (i.e., the end of the first six (6) months of Disability), if the Participant becomes Disabled on or
after the attainment of Early Retirement Age subject to an election made under Section 4.5). 


 The
amount of the above-referenced pro rated Normal Retirement Benefit otherwise payable pursuant to Section 4.1 will be determined by multiplying the Normal Retirement Benefit otherwise payable pursuant to Section 4.1 by
(i) a fraction which will not exceed one (1), the numerator of which is the number of whole years between the Participant’s Original Entry Date and the date six (6) months subsequent to the date on which the Employee became Disabled
and the denominator of which is the number of whole years between the Participant’s Original Entry Date and the Participant’s Normal Retirement Date and (ii) the Participant’s Vested Percentage as of the first day of the seventh
(7th) month subsequent to the date on which the Participant became Disabled. 
  

	 6.2
	 Recovery from Disability. If a Participant recovers from his or her Disability and is reemployed by the Employer as an Eligible Employee, such Participant
will not be permitted to reenter the Plan. Any benefits the Participant is receiving under the Plan during his prior period of employment will continue to be paid. 


  

	 6.3
	 Death while Disabled. If a Participant, while Disabled, dies prior to the commencement of his or her Retirement Benefit pursuant to Article IV, the
Death Benefit provided in Article V will be paid in accordance with the provisions of that Article. 


 ARTICLE VII

 SOURCE OF BENEFITS 
  

	 7.1
	 Source of Benefits. Amounts payable to a Participant will be paid exclusively from the general assets of the Employer; provided, that the Employer may
purchase insurance or establish a rabbi trust to serve as a source of funds for the benefits payable under this Plan. The Employer’s liability for the payment of benefits will be evidenced only by this Plan and the Plan Agreement entered into
between the Employer and a Participant. 










	 7.2
	 Creditor Status. Participants and their Beneficiaries will be general unsecured creditors of their respective Employer with respect to the payment of any
benefit under this Plan. No Participant or Beneficiary entitled to any payment will have any claim, right, security or other interest in any particular asset of the Employer. 


  

	 7.3
	 Evidence of Insurability. The Employer has purchased and may continue to purchase corporate owned life insurance as a source of funds for the payment of
benefits under this Plan. Each Participant’s Level of Participation is (a) designed to be commensurate with the amount of insurance that may be obtained on the Participant’s life at standard rates and (b) conditioned upon the
Employer being able to obtain life insurance with respect to the life of a Participant at standard rates in an amount sufficient to fund the payment of benefits under this Plan. Accordingly, the Employer may require that a Participant furnish
evidence of good health when first enrolling in this Plan and upon electing any additional increment of participation. 


  

	 	 (a)
	 Obligation of Participant. The Participant agrees to cooperate by furnishing such information as the Employer may require, including but not limited, to
physical examination reports of any previous employer; taking such additional physical examinations as may be requested by the Employer; and doing any other act which may be requested by the Employer. 


  

	 	 (b)
	 Adjustment of Participation Levels or Deferrals Prior to Enrollment. If, prior to acceptance of an Eligible Employee’s election to participate in
this Plan or to increase his or her Level of Participation, the Employer makes application for life insurance on the Eligible Employee’s life and the Eligible Employee cannot provide evidence of good health at standard rates or for the amounts
initially contemplated in connection with his or her contemplated Level of Participation in this Plan, the Employer may, at its sole discretion, prior to the acceptance of an Eligible Employee’s election to participate in this Plan, permit the
Eligible Employee to enroll in this Plan pursuant to the requirements of Article III at a modified Level of Participation (i.e., other than fifty percent (50%) or one hundred percent (100%) of the Participant’s Covered
Salary) upon such Deferral of his or her Covered Salary as the Employer may, in its sole discretion, deem appropriate. 


  

	 	 (c)
	 Adjustment of Participation Levels or Deferrals After Enrollment. If, after the Participant has elected to participate in this Plan, selected a Level of
Participation and commenced the Deferral of Covered Salary pursuant to Article III, the Employer makes application for life insurance on the Participant’s life and the Participant cannot provide evidence of good health at standard
rates or for the amounts initially contemplated in connection with his or her selected Level of Participation in this Plan, the Committee may determine that the Participant’s participation in this Plan will be terminated for all future years,
may require the Participant to increase the amount of his or her Covered Salary Deferrals for future Plan Years to enable the Participant to continue his or her previously selected Level of Participation or may reduce the Participant’s Level of
Participation to an amount commensurate with the level of insurance that may be procured with respect to such Participant at standard rates. 


 ARTICLE VIII 
 AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF THE PLAN 
  

	 8.1
	 Amendment of Plan. Both the Company, through an action of its Board of Directors or an authorized committee of such Board, and the Committee reserve the
right in their sole and absolute discretion to amend the prospective application of this Plan in any respect at any time. Other than termination of this Plan and as otherwise required by law, no amendment to this Plan may materially and adversely
affect the then accrued and Vested rights of a Participant. 










	 8.2
	 Termination of Plan. Either the Company, through an action of its Board of Directors or an authorized committee of such Board, or the Committee may
terminate this Plan in whole or in part at the end of any Plan Year. Following such termination, the benefits payable under this Plan will be paid as set forth in Section 8.2(a), unless the Company or Committee elects to liquidate this
Plan pursuant to Section 8.2(b); provided, however, that, except as required to comply with section 409A of the Code in the case of the liquidation of this Plan, no termination of this Plan will affect the benefits payable to
Participants who as of the date of termination have already become entitled to receive payment of benefits pursuant to this Plan (e.g., Participants who have Retired prior to the termination of this Plan, etc.). 



 

	 	 (a)
	 No Early Plan Liquidation. Each Participant who is fully or partially Vested as of the date on which this Plan is terminated and who has been a
Participant in this Plan for at least one (1) full calendar year will be entitled to receive a Retirement Benefit payable upon the earlier of the Participant’s death or the distribution date determined pursuant to Article IV subject
to the provisions of Section 4.6 regarding distributions to Key Employees, Section 4.7 regarding de minimis payments and Article VI regarding Disability. The Part A Benefit payable to the Participant pursuant to this
Section 8.2(a) will be the Part A Benefit described in Section 4.1(a) multiplied (i) by a fraction which will not exceed one (1), the numerator of which is the number of whole years between the Participant’s
Original Entry Date and the date on which this Plan is terminated and the denominator of which is the number of whole years between the Participant’s Original Entry Date and the Participant’s Normal Retirement Date and by (ii) the
Participant’s Vested Percentage as of the date on which this Plan is terminated and by (iii) the fraction determined under Section 4.3 if the Participate is eligible for an Early Retirement Benefit. The Part B Benefit payable
to the Participant pursuant to this Section 8.2(a) will be the Part B Benefit described in Section 4.1(b) calculated in accordance with the formula as stated in this Section 8.2(a) (i.e., the Part B amount
set forth in the Participant’s Plan Agreement multiplied by the fraction and Vested Percentage referenced above). 


 If the Participant lives to such Participant’s distribution date, the Participant will receive the Part A Benefit and, upon his or her death, the Part B Benefit both prorated in accordance with this
Section 8.2(a). If the Participant dies prior to such distribution date, such prorated Part B Benefit will be paid to the Participant’s Beneficiary in a lump sum upon the death of the Participant and said prorated Part A Benefit
will commence upon the death of the Participant and be paid to the Participant’s Beneficiary in the installments set forth in Section 4.1. 
 Each Participant who is fully or partially Vested as of the date on which this Plan is terminated and who has not been a Participant in this Plan for at least one (1) full calendar year will
be entitled to receive an amount equal to the amount of his or her Covered Salary Deferrals plus ten percent (10%) of such Covered Salary Deferrals. Such amount will be paid upon the earlier of the Participant’s death or Retirement subject
to the provisions of Section 4.6 regarding distributions to Key Employees and Section 4.7 regarding de minimis payments. 
  

	 	 (b)
	 Early Liquidation of Plan. If, however, the Company or the Committee elects to liquidate this Plan in connection with such termination within the period
prescribed by section 409A of the Code, each affected Participant will be entitled to a benefit the amount of which will be determined as follows: (i) if the Participant participated in this Plan for less than one (1) year, the Participant
will be entitled to an amount equal to the amount of his or her Covered Salary Deferrals plus ten percent (10%) of such Covered Salary Deferrals and (ii) if the Participant participated in this Plan for more than one (1) year, the
Participant will receive the present value of the amount of his or her Part A Benefit that would otherwise be payable at his or her Normal Retirement Date in accordance with Article IV determined pursuant to this Section 8.2(b)
using the discount rate used by the Company in the preparation of the portion of its most recent annual financial statements describing its obligations pursuant to this Plan. Such Part A benefit will equal the Part A Benefit described in
Section 4.1(a) multiplied (A) by a fraction which will not exceed one (1), the numerator of which is the number of whole years between the Participant’s Original Entry Date and the date on which this Plan is terminated and the
denominator of which is the number of whole years between the Participant’s Original Entry Date and the Participant’s Normal 











	 	 
Retirement Date and by (B) the Participant’s Vested Percentage as of the date on which this Plan is terminated; provided, however, with respect to
Participants who are Plan D Participants, when calculating the Part A Benefit payable to such a Participant, the Plan Entry Date set forth in such Plan Agreement will be substituted for the Original Entry Date in the above-fraction. The Company
warrants that any such liquidation will comply with the requirements of section 409A of the Code and will not take any action that will result in the imposition of an excise tax to Participants pursuant to section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if permitted by guidance issued pursuant to section 409A of the Code, no liquidation of this Plan will affect the benefits payable to Participants who as of the date of liquidation have already become entitled to receive payment of
benefits pursuant to this Plan (e.g., Participants who have retired prior to the liquidation of this Plan, etc.). 


  

	 8.3
	 Amendment or Termination of Plan Agreement. Either the Employer or the Committee may amend a Participant’s Plan Agreement or terminate a
Participant’s further participation in this Plan, subject to the requirements of section 409A of the Code regarding the cessation of Deferrals set forth in Article III; provided, that no such amendment or termination will reduce the then
Vested benefits accrued by such Participant under such Plan Agreement as of the date of the amendment or termination, except as required by law. 


  

	 8.4
	 Notice of Amendment or Termination. No action to terminate, amend, modify or supplement this Plan or terminate any Plan Agreement will be taken except
upon written notice to each Participant to be affected thereby not less than thirty (30) days prior to such action or as soon as practicable thereafter if advance notification is not possible due to applicable law. 



ARTICLE IX 
 OTHER BENEFITS AND
AGREEMENTS 
  

	 9.1
	 Other Benefits. The benefits provided for a Participant and a Participant’s Beneficiary under this Plan are in addition to any other benefits
available to such Participant under any other plan or program for employees of the Employer and this Plan will supplement and will not supersede, modify or amend any other such plan or program except as may otherwise be expressly provided. Benefits
under this Plan will not be considered compensation for the purpose of computing contributions or benefits under any plan maintained by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries which is qualified under sections 401(a) and 501(a) of the Code.



 ARTICLE X 
 RESTRICTIONS ON ALIENATION OF BENEFITS 
  

	 10.1
	 Non-Alienation of Benefits. To the extent permitted by law, benefits payable under this Plan will not be subject in any manner to anticipation,
alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, charge, garnishment, execution, or levy of any kind, either voluntary or involuntary except that a Participant may designate a Beneficiary and such Beneficiary may acquire rights under
this Plan or a Plan Agreement. In addition, this Plan will recognize the division of benefits between the Participant and his or her spouse in connection with a divorce. However, no benefit awarded to the spouse pursuant to such divorce will be
payable to such spouse until the time the Participant is entitled to receive a distribution of benefits from this Plan in which case such benefit will be paid to the spouse at the same time and in the same manner as the Participant.



 Any unauthorized attempt to anticipate, alienate, sell, transfer, assign, pledge, encumber, charge or
otherwise dispose of any right to benefits payable hereunder will be void. No part of the assets of the Employer will be subject to seizure by legal process resulting from any attempt by creditors of or claimants against any Participant (or
Beneficiary), or any person claiming under or through the foregoing, to attach his or her interest under this Plan. 








	 10.2
	 Legal Disability. If a person entitled to any payment under this Plan is, in the sole judgment of the Committee, under a legal disability, or otherwise is
unable to apply such payment to his or her own interest and advantage, the Committee, in the exercise of its discretion, may direct the Employer or payor of the benefit to make any such payment in any one or more of either directly to such person,
to the Participant’s legal guardian or conservator, or to the Participant’s spouse or to any person charged with the duty of the Participant’s support, to be expended for the Participant’s benefit and/or that of the
Participant’s dependents. The decision of the Committee will in each case be final and binding upon all persons in interest, unless the Committee reverses its decision due to changed circumstances. 


  

	 10.3
	 Withholding. The Employer or its designee will withhold from any benefit payments made under this Plan, the required amounts of federal, state or local
income or other applicable taxes. 


 ARTICLE XI

	 11.1
	 Plan Administration. The general administration of this Plan, as well as construction and interpretation thereof, will be vested in the Committee. The

	 11.5
	 Information and Reliance. To enable the Committee to perform its functions, the Company will supply full and timely information to the Committee on all

 ARTICLE XII 
 NON-COMPETE

  

	 12.1
	 Covenant not to Compete. Each Participant agrees that, following his or her separation from service with the Employer for any reason, the Participant will
not, for a period of two (2) years after the date of such separation from service, directly or indirectly, carry on or conduct, in competition with the Employer, any business of the nature in which the Employer is then engaged, and of the
nature in which the Participant was employed by the Employer for any portion of the period of two (2) years immediately prior to such separation from service, in any geographic area or territory in which the Employer is then engaged in such
business. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Participant agrees that the solicitation or acceptance of orders outside any such geographic area or territory for shipment or delivery into any such geographic area or territory will
constitute conducting or engaging in business in such geographic area or territory within the meaning of this Article XII. The Participant agrees that he or she will not conduct or engage in any such business, either as an individual on his
or her own account or as a partner or joint venturer or as an employee, agent, consultant or salesman for any other person or entity, or as an officer or director of a corporation or as a stockholder in a corporation of which the Participant or
Participant’s spouse or their descendants, parents or siblings will then own in the aggregate ten percent (10%) or more of any class of stock. 


  

	 12.2
	 Remedy for Breach of Covenant. Each Participant agrees that, in the event of a breach of the terms and conditions of this Article XII by the
Participant, the Employer will be entitled, if it so elects, to institute and prosecute proceedings, either in law or in equity, against the Participant, to obtain damages for any such breach or to enjoin the Participant from performing services for
any competitor of the Employer in violation hereof, or to suspend or terminate any and all benefits which would otherwise be payable to the Participant and his or her Beneficiaries under the provisions of this Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
nothing contained herein will be deemed to require any Participant to take any action in violation of applicable legal requirements or professional ethical obligations. 


 ARTICLE XIII 
 NAMED FIDUCIARY AND CLAIMS PROCEDURE 
  

	 13.1
	 Named Claim Fiduciary. The Named Fiduciary of this Plan for purposes of the claims procedure under this Agreement is the Committee. The Company will have
the right to change the Named Fiduciary at any time. 


  

	 13.2
	 Claims for Benefits. 


  

	 	 (a)
	 Initial Claim. In the event that an Employee, Eligible Employee, Participant or his or her Beneficiary claims to be eligible for benefits, or claims any
rights under this Plan, such claimant 


  








	 	     
	 must complete and submit such claim forms and supporting documentation as will be required by the Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion. Likewise, any
Participant or Beneficiary who feels unfairly treated as a result of the administration of this Plan, must file a written claim, setting forth the basis of the claim, with the Committee. In connection with the determination of a claim, or in
connection with review of a denied claim, the claimant may examine this Plan, and any other pertinent documents generally available to Participants that are specifically related to the claim. 


  

	 	     
	 A written notice of the disposition of any such claim will be furnished to the claimant within ninety (90) days after the claim is filed with the Committee.
Such notice will refer, if appropriate, to pertinent provisions of this Plan, will set forth in writing the reasons for denial of the claim if a claim is denied (including references to any pertinent provisions of this Plan) and, where appropriate,
will describe any additional material or information necessary for the claimant to perfect the claim and an explanation of why such material or information is necessary. If the claim is denied, in whole or in part, the claimant will also be notified
of this Plan’s claim review procedure and the time limits applicable to such procedure, including the claimant’s right to arbitration following an adverse benefit determination on review as provided below. All benefits provided in this
Plan as a result of the disposition of a claim will be paid as soon as practicable following receipt of proof of entitlement, if requested. 


  

	 	 (b)
	 Request for Review. Within ninety (90) days after receiving written notice of the Committee’s disposition of the claim, the claimant may file
with the Committee, a written request for review of his or her claim. In connection with the request for review, the claimant will be entitled to be represented by counsel and will be given, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to all
pertinent documents for the preparation of his or her claim. If the claimant does not file a written request for review within ninety (90) days after receiving written notice of the Committee’s disposition of the claim, the claimant will
be deemed to have accepted the Committee’s written disposition, unless the claimant was physically or mentally incapacitated so as to be unable to request review within the ninety (90) day period. 


  

	 	 (c)
	 Decision on Review. After receipt by the Committee of a written application for review of a claim, the Committee will review the claim taking into account
all comments, documents, records and other information submitted by the claimant regarding the claim without regard to whether such information was considered in the initial benefit determination. The Committee will notify the claimant of its
decision by delivery or by certified or registered mail to his or her last known address. A decision on review of the claim will be made by the Committee at its next meeting following receipt of the written request for review. If no meeting of the
Committee is scheduled within forty-five (45) days of receipt of the written request for review, then the Committee will hold a special meeting to review such written request for review within such forty-five (45) day period. If special
circumstances require an extension of the forty-five (45) day period, the Committee will so notify the claimant and a decision will be rendered within ninety (90) days of receipt of the request for review. In any event, if a decision is
not determined by the Committee within ninety (90) days of receipt of written submission for review, it will be deemed to be denied. 


  

	 	     
	 The decision of the Committee will be provided to the claimant as soon as possible but no later than five (5) days after the benefit determination is made.
The decision will be in writing and will include the specific reasons for the decision presented in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant and will contain references to all relevant Plan provisions on which the decision was based.
Such decision will also advise the claimant that he or she may receive upon request, and free of charge, reasonable access to and copies of all documents, records and other information relevant to his or her claim and will inform the claimant of his
or her right to arbitration in the case of an adverse decision regarding the appeal. The decision of the Committee will be final and conclusive. 


  

	 13.3
	 Arbitration. Subject to the provisions of Section 12.2, all disputes arising under or related to this Plan or the administration of this Plan
will, following exhaustion of the claims procedure set forth in Section 13.2, 









 be resolved by arbitration conducted in accordance with this Section 13.3. A
claimant dissatisfied with any denial or deemed denial of a claim for benefits must appeal to an arbitrator within sixty (60) days after receiving the Committee’s denial or deemed denial of his or her request for review and before bringing
suit in court. A claimant’s Failure to initiate arbitration within this sixty (60) day period will serve as evidence of the claimant’s agreement with and acceptance of the Committee’s decision issued pursuant to
Section 13.2. 
 The arbitrator will be mutually selected by the claimant and the Committee from a list of
arbitrators who are experienced in nonqualified deferred compensation plan benefit matters that is provided by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). If the parties are unable to agree on the selection of an arbitrator
within ten (10) days of receiving the list from the AAA, the AAA will appoint an arbitrator. The arbitrator’s review will be limited to interpretation of the Plan document in the context of the particular facts involved. The claimant, the
Committee and the Employer agree to accept the award of the arbitrator as binding, and all exercises of power by the arbitrator hereunder will be final, conclusive and binding on all interested parties, unless found by a court of competent
jurisdiction, in a final judgment that is no longer subject to review or appeal, to be arbitrary and capricious. The claimant, the Committee and the Employer agree that the venue for the arbitration will be in Dallas Texas. The costs of arbitration
will be paid by the Employer; the costs of legal representation for the claimant or witness costs for the claimant will be borne by the claimant; provided, that, as part of his or her award, the Arbitrator may require the Employer to reimburse the
claimant for all or a portion of such amounts. 
 The Employer and claimant each may submit in writing to the other party, and
the other party shall respond to a maximum of five (5) (none of which may be subparts) of the following: interrogatories, demands to produce documents and requests for admissions. The Employer and claimant each may also take the oral deposition
of no more than five (5) individuals. Additional discovery may be permitted upon mutual agreement of the Employer and claimant. The arbitrator will resolve any discovery disputes by such pre hearing conferences as may be needed. The Employer,
Committee and claimant agree that the arbitrator will have the power of subpoena process as provided by law. Disagreements concerning the scope of depositions or document production, its reasonableness and enforcement of discovery requests will be
subject to agreement by the Employer and claimant or will be resolved by the arbitrator. All discovery requests will be subject to the proprietary rights and rights of privilege and other protections granted by applicable law to the Employer and
claimant and the arbitrator will adopt procedures to protect such rights. With respect to any dispute, the Employer, Committee and claimant agree that all discovery activities will be expressly limited to matters directly relevant to the dispute and
the arbitrator will be required to fully enforce this requirement. 
 The arbitrator will have no power to add to, subtract
from, or modify any of the terms of this Plan, or to change or add to any benefits provided by this Plan, or to waive or fail to apply any requirements of eligibility for a benefit under this Plan. Nonetheless, the arbitrator will have absolute
discretion in the exercise of its powers in this Plan. Arbitration decisions will not establish binding precedent with respect to the administration or operation of this Plan. The Arbitrator will issue a final written decision no later than one
hundred and twenty (120) days after the matter is submitted to arbitration. The arbitrator will not have the power to address/resolve claims presented in the form of a “class action” (i.e., the arbitrator will only have the
power to resolve disputes involving only a single Participant). 
  

	 13.4
	 Receipt and Release of Necessary Information. In implementing the terms of this Plan, the Committee, may, without the consent of or notice to any person,
release to or obtain from any other insuring entity or other organization or person any information, with respect to any person, which the Committee deems to be necessary for such purposes. Any Participant or Beneficiary claiming benefits under this
Plan will furnish to the Committee, such information as may be necessary to determine eligibility for and amount of benefit, as a condition of claiming and receiving such benefit. 


  

	 13.5
	 Overpayment and Underpayment of Benefits. The Committee may adopt, in its sole and absolute discretion, whatever rules, procedures and accounting
practices are appropriate in providing for the collection of any overpayment of benefits. If a Participant or Beneficiary receives an underpayment of 









 benefits, the Committee will direct that payment be made as soon as practicable to make
up for the underpayment. If an overpayment is made to a Participant or Beneficiary, for whatever reason, the Committee may, in its sole and absolute discretion, withhold payment of any further benefits under this Plan until the overpayment has been
collected or may require repayment of benefits paid under this Plan without regard to further benefits to which the Participant or Beneficiary may be entitled. 
 ARTICLE XIV 
 ADOPTION OF PLAN BY SUBSIDIARY, 
 AFFILIATED OR ASSOCIATED COMPANIES 
  

	 14.1
	 Adoption of Plan by Subsidiaries. Any corporation which is a Subsidiary of the Company may, with the approval of the Committee, adopt this Plan and
thereby come within the definition of Employer stated in Article II hereof. A Subsidiary may evidence its adoption of this Plan either by a formal action of its governing body or by commencing Deferrals and taking other administrative actions
with respect to this Plan on behalf of its Employees. An entity will cease to be an Employer as of the date such entity ceases to be a Subsidiary. 


  

	 14.2
	 Termination of Subsidiary Participation. A Subsidiary may terminate its participation in this Plan at any time by an action of its governing body and
providing written notice to the Committee. Likewise, the Committee may terminate a Subsidiary’s participation in this Plan at any time and will provide written notice to the Subsidiary. The effective date of any such termination will be the
later of the date specified in the notice of the termination of participation or the date on which the Committee can administratively implement such termination. In the event that a Subsidiary’s participation in this Plan is terminated, the
rights of each Participant employed by such Subsidiary to a Retirement Benefit will be determined pursuant to Article IV. 


 ARTICLE XV 
 MISCELLANEOUS 
  

	 15.1
	 No Guarantee of Employment. Neither this Plan nor any Plan Agreement, either singly or collectively, obligates the Employer to continue the employment of
a Participant or limits the right of the Employer at any time and for any reason to terminate a Participant’s employment. In no event will this Plan or the Participant’s Plan Agreement, either singly or collectively, by their terms or
implications constitute an employment contract of any nature whatsoever between the Employer and a Participant. 


  

	 15.2
	 Notice. Any notice which will or may be given under this Plan or a Plan Agreement will be in writing and will, unless provided otherwise herein, be mailed
by United States mail, postage prepaid. The term “delivered to the Committee,” as used in this Plan, will include delivery to a person or persons designated by the Committee for the disbursement and the receipt of administrative forms.
Delivery will be deemed to have occurred only when the form or other communication is actually received. If notice is to be given to the Company or the Committee, such notice will be addressed to Chaparral Steel Company, 300 Ward Road, Midlothian,
Texas 76065-9661, marked for the attention of the Vice President—Human Resources; or, if notice to a Participant, addressed to the address shown on such Participant’s Plan Agreement. Any party may change the address to which notices will
be mailed from time to time by giving written notice of such new address. 


  

	 15.3
	 Plan Binding. This Plan will be binding upon the Company and each Subsidiary which is an Employer and their respective successors and assigns, and upon a
Participant, his or her Beneficiary, assigns, heirs, executors and administrators. 










	 	 (a)
	 Successors of Employer. The Employer will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation, reorganization or
otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Employer, expressly to agree to adopt this Plan and to perform each Plan Agreement to which the Employer is a party in the same manner and to the same extent the Employer
would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place. This Plan and any Plan Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each Employer and any successor of the Employer, including without limitation any persons acquiring
directly or indirectly all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Employer whether by purchase, merger, consolidation, reorganization or otherwise (and such successor will thereafter be deemed the “Employer,” as
applicable, for the purposes of this Plan and any Plan Agreement) but will not otherwise be assignable, transferable or delegable by the Employer. 


  

	 	 (b)
	 Successors of Participant. This Plan and any Plan Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Participant’s Beneficiary,

(30) days of the Participant. 
  

	 	             
	 Alternative 2 – Spouse Deemed to Survive Participant in Certain Circumstances. 


 If the Participant and the spouse die under circumstances such that there is insufficient evidence to determine the order of their deaths
or if the spouse outlives the Participant for any time whatsoever, the spouse will be deemed to have survived the Participant. For all other purposes of this Beneficiary Designation, no person will be deemed to have survived the Participant if that

 APPENDIX D 
 SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED 
 FINANCIAL SECURITY PLAN 
 OF CHAPARRAL STEEL COMPANY 
 ELECTION TO DELAY PAYMENT OF RETIREMENT BENEFIT 
 In order to comply with section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), the Financial Security Plan of Chaparral Steel Company (the “Plan”) limits your ability to elect to change the date on which your Retirement Benefits will be paid
under the Plan (all capitalized terms herein will have the same meaning as set forth in the Plan, unless otherwise expressly provided in this Election Form). Specifically, unless specified otherwise in your Plan Agreement, if you Retire from the
Company on or after your Early Retirement Date, payment of your Retirement Benefits will begin as of the first of the month following your Retirement subject to the provisions of Section 4.6, regarding the six (6) month and one
(1) day delay in payment applicable to Key Employees. However, you may make a one-time irrevocable election to delay the payment of your Retirement Benefits by completing this Election Form. 
 Any such election (i) must not take effect until at least 12 months after the date on which the election is made and (ii) must delay the
benefit commencement date for five (5) years from the date the payments would have otherwise begun. If your election does not comply with these requirements, it will be null and void and will have no impact on the payment of your Retirement
Benefits (i.e., your Retirement Benefits will be paid at your Retirement as described above). 
 Note: This election does not apply to the payment of the Deferred Vested Retirement Benefit under the Plan (i.e., the benefit payable to you if you terminate participation in the Plan prior to your Early Retirement
Age and have a vested interest in the Plan). Payment of your Deferred Vested Retirement Benefit will be made once you terminate employment and reach Normal Retirement Age (i.e., age 65 unless specified otherwise in your Agreement). 

Examples. If you file this election and you Retire at age 62, payment of your Early Retirement Benefits will not begin until you have
attained age 67. Similarly, if after filing this election you continue working until age 65, payment of your Normal Retirement Benefits will not begin until you reach age 70. Conversely, if you do not file this election, then payment of your Early
Retirement Benefits in the first scenario described above would begin at age 62 and payment of your Normal Retirement Benefit would begin at age 65 in the second scenario described above. Thus, you should not file this election unless you
are certain that you wish to delay the payment of your Retirement Benefits for a period of five (5) years following your Retirement. 
 Election: 
  

	  ̈
	 I hereby elect to delay payment of my Retirement Benefits pursuant to the terms of the Plan for five (5) years following my Retirement on or after my Early
Retirement Date, as described above. 









 I understand that once made this election is irrevocable and may not be changed.
