 ARTICLE 2 DEFINITIONS 

 

 “Company” means the Plan Sponsor and any other entity that has adopted the
Plan with the approval of the Plan Sponsor. 
 “Compensation” shall have the meaning set forth in the Adoption Agreement.
To the extent provided in the Adoption Agreement, amounts not includible in gross income under Code section 125 shall include any amounts not available to a Participant in cash in lieu of group health coverage because the Participant is unable to
certify that he or she has other health coverage (“deemed Code section 125 compensation”). An amount will be treated as an amount under Code section 125 only if the Company does not request or collect information regarding the
Participant’s other health coverage as part of the enrollment process for the health plan. 
 Compensation shall include other
compensation paid by the later of: (a) 2-1/2 months after an Employee’s severance from employment with the Company or (b) the end of the Limitation Year that includes the date of the Employee’s severance from employment with the
Company if: (1) the payment is regular compensation for services during the Participant’s regular working hours, or compensation for services outside the Participant’s regular working hours (e.g., overtime or shift differential),
commissions, bonuses, or other similar payments; and (2) the payment would have been paid to the Participant prior to a severance from employment if the Participant had continued in employment with the Company. 

The exclusions from Compensation for payments after severance from employment do not apply to payments to a Participant who does not currently
perform services for the Company by reason of Qualified Military Service to the extent those payments do not exceed the amounts the Participant would have received if the individual had continued to perform services for the Company rather than
entering Qualified Military Service. To the extent selected in the Adoption Agreement and pursuant to Code section 414(u)(12), IRS Notice 2010-15 and any superseding guidance, differential wage payments shall be treated as Compensation. 

To the extent provided in Section 4.01(e), Compensation shall include compensation paid to a Participant who is permanently and totally
disabled. 
 Compensation must be determined without regard to any rules under Code section 3401(a) that limit the remuneration included in
wages based on the nature or location of the employment or the services performed (such as the exception for agricultural labor in Code section 3401(a)(2)). For any Self-Employed Individual covered under the Plan, Compensation will mean Earned
Income. 
 For any Plan Year, the annual compensation of each Participant taken into account in determining allocations for any Plan Year
beginning after December 31, 2001, shall not exceed $200,000, as adjusted for cost-of-living increases in accordance with Code section 401(a)(17)(B). Annual compensation means Compensation during the Plan Year or such other consecutive 12-month
period over which Compensation is otherwise determined under the Plan (the determination period). The cost-of-living adjustment in effect for a calendar year applies to annual compensation for the determination period that begins with or within such
calendar year. 
 If a determination period consists of fewer than 12 months, the annual Compensation limit is an amount equal to the
otherwise applicable annual Compensation limit multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of months in the short determination period, and the denominator of which is 12. 

“Deemed-Owned Shares” means, with respect to any person: (i) the stock in the S Corporation constituting employer
securities of an employee stock ownership plan which is allocated to such person under the Plan, and; (ii) such person’s share of the stock in such corporation which is held by the Plan but which is not allocated under the Plan to
Participants or Beneficiaries. For purposes of clause (ii) of the preceding sentence, a person’s share of unallocated S corporation stock held by the Plan is the amount of the unallocated stock which would be allocated to such person if
the unallocated stock were allocated to all Participants in the same proportions as the most recent stock allocation under the Plan. 

“Determination Date” means the last day of the preceding Plan Year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Determination Date for
the first Plan Year shall be the last day of such year.

 ARTICLE 2 DEFINITIONS 

 

 “Disabled” or “Disability” shall have the meaning specified
in the Adoption Agreement. The determination of Disability shall be made by the Plan Administrator. 
 “Disqualified
Person” means a person defined in Code section 4975(e)(2), including but not limited to (i) a fiduciary of the Plan; (ii) a person providing services to the Plan; (iii) the Employer; (iv) an owner of 50% or more of the
combined voting power or value of all classes of stock of the Plan Sponsor entitled to vote or the total value of shares of all classes of stock of the Plan Sponsor and certain members of such owner’s family; or (v) an officer, director,
10% or greater shareholder or highly compensated employee (who earns 10% or more of the yearly wages) of the Employer. 

“Diversification Election Period” means the six Plan Years beginning with the Plan Year during which a Participant becomes a
Qualified Participant. 
 “Domestic Partner” means, unless otherwise specified in the Adoption Agreement, a partner of the
Participant if the Participant is in a civil union or similar relationship recognized under the laws of any state. A Participant may only have one Domestic Partner. A Participant may not have a Domestic Partner if the Participant is legally married
to a person. If Domestic Partners are treated as a spouse under this Plan, Section 7.10 applies and a Domestic Partner instead of a spouse is the Beneficiary of the survivor annuity, the term “Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity”
shall be modified to “Joint and Survivor Annuity”, “qualified preretirement survivor annuity” shall be modified to “preretirement survivor annuity”, and Qualified Optional Survivor Annuity” shall be modified to
“Optional Survivor Annuity”. 
 “Earned Income” means the net earnings from self-employment in the trade or
business with respect to which the Plan is established, for which personal services of the individual are a material income-producing factor. Net earnings will be determined without regard to items not included in gross income and the deductions
allocable to such items. Net earnings are reduced by contributions by the Employer to a qualified plan to the extent deductible under Code section 404. Net earnings shall be determined with regard to the deduction allowed to the taxpayer by Code
section 164(f) for taxable years beginning after December 31, 1989. 
 “Effective Date” shall have the meaning set
forth in Section A.3 of the Adoption Agreement except as otherwise specified in the Plan or Adoption Agreement. 
 “Eligibility

based on the nature or location of the employment or the services performed (such as the exception for agricultural labor in Code section 3401(a)(2)). For any Self-Employed Individual, Statutory Compensation shall mean Earned Income. 

Statutory Compensation shall include any amount which is contributed by the Company pursuant to a salary reduction agreement and which is not
includible in the gross income of the Participant under Code sections 125, 402(e)(3), 402(h), 403(b), 132(f) or 457. To the extent provided in the Adoption Agreement, Statutory Compensation shall include any amounts not available to a Participant in
cash in lieu of group health coverage because the Participant is unable to certify that he or she has other health coverage (“deemed Code section 125 compensation”). An amount will be treated as an amount under Code section 125 only if the
Company does not request or collect information regarding the Participant’s other health coverage as part of the enrollment process for the health plan. 

Statutory Compensation shall include other compensation paid by 2-1/2 months after a Participant’s severance from employment with the
Company if: (a) the payment is regular compensation for services during the Participant’s regular working hours, or compensation for services outside the Participant’s regular working hours (e.g., overtime or shift differential),
commissions, bonuses, or other similar payments; and the payment would have been paid to the Participant prior to a severance from employment if the Participant had continued in employment with the Company. The exclusions from compensation for
payments after severance from employment do not apply to payments to a Participant who does not currently perform services for the Company by reason of qualified military service (as that term is used in Code section 414(u)(1)) to the extent those
payments do not exceed the amounts the Participant would have received if the individual had continued to perform services for the Company rather than entering qualified military service. To the extent provided in the Plan, Statutory Compensation
shall include compensation paid to a Participant who is permanently and totally disabled. 
 Notwithstanding any other provision hereof to
the contrary, the annual Statutory Compensation of each Employee taken into account under the Plan for any Plan Year shall not exceed the amount in effect for such year under Code section 401(a)(17). If a Plan Year consists of fewer than 12 months,
the applicable limitation under Code section 401(a)(17) will be multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of months in such year, and the denominator of which is 12. 

“Synthetic Equity” means any stock option, warrant, restricted stock, deferred issuance stock right, or similar interest or
right that gives the holder the right to acquire or receive stock of the S Corporation in the future. Except to the extent provided in the regulations, synthetic equity also includes a stock appreciation right, phantom stock unit, nonqualified
deferred compensation or similar right to a future cash payment based on the value of such stock or appreciation in such value. 

“Termination” and “Termination of Employment” means any absence from service that ends the employment of the
Employee with the Employer.

 “Top-Heavy Ratio” means: 

(a) If the Employer maintains one or more defined contribution plans (including any Simplified Employee Pension Plan) and the Employer has not
maintained any defined benefit plan which during the 5-year period ending on the Determination Date(s) has or has had accrued benefits, the Top-Heavy Ratio for this Plan alone or for the Required or Permissive Aggregation Group as appropriate is a
fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of the account balances of all Key Employees as of the Determination Date(s), including any part of any account balance distributed in the one-year period ending on the Determination Date(s), (five-year
period ending on the Determination Date in the case of a distribution made for a reason other than severance from employment, death or disability and in determining whether the Plan is Top-Heavy for Plan Years beginning before January 1, 2002),
and the denominator of which is the sum of all account balances (including any part of any account balance distributed in the 1-year period ending on the Determination Date(s)) (5-year period ending on the Determination Date in the case of a
distribution made for a reason other than severance from employment, death or disability and in determining whether the Plan is Top-Heavy for Plan Years beginning before January 1, 2002), both computed in accordance with Code section 416 and
the regulations thereunder. Both the numerator and denominator of the Top-Heavy Ratio are increased to reflect any contribution not actually made as of the Determination Date, but which is required to be taken into account on that date under Code
section 416 and the regulations thereunder. 
 (b) If the Employer maintains one or more defined contribution plans (including any
Simplified Employee Pension Plan) and the Employer maintains or has maintained one or more defined benefit plans which during the 5-year period ending on the Determination Date(s) has or has had any accrued benefits, the Top-Heavy Ratio for any
Required or Permissive Aggregation group as appropriate is a fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of account balances under the aggregated defined contribution plan or plans for all Key Employees, determined in accordance with (a) above,
and the Present Value of accrued benefits under the aggregated defined benefit plan or plans for all Key Employees as of the Determination Date(s), and the denominator of which is the sum of the account balances under the aggregated defined
contribution plan or plans for all Participants, determined in accordance with (a) above, and the Present Value of accrued benefits under the defined benefit plan or plans for all Participants as of the Determination Date(s), all determined in
accordance with Code section 416 and the regulations thereunder. The accrued benefits under a defined benefit plan in both the numerator and denominator of the Top-Heavy Ratio are increased for any distribution of an accrued benefit made in the
one-year period ending on the Determination Date (five-year period ending on the Determination Date in the case of a distribution made for a reason other than severance from employment, death or disability and in determining whether the Plan is
Top-Heavy for Plan Years beginning before January 1, 2002). 
 (c) For purposes of (a) and (b) above the value of account
balances and the Present Value of accrued benefits will be determined as of the most recent Valuation Date that falls within or ends with the 12-month period ending on the Determination Date, except as provided in Code section 416 and the
regulations thereunder for the first and second Plan Years of a defined benefit plan. The account balances and accrued benefits of a Participant (1) who is a Non Key Employee but who was a Key Employee in a prior year, or (2) who has not
been credited with at least one hour of service with any Employer maintaining the Plan at any time during the one-year period (5-year period in determining whether the Plan is Top-Heavy for Plan Years beginning before January 1, 2002) ending on
the Determination Date will be disregarded. The calculation of the Top-Heavy Ratio, and the extent to which distributions, rollovers, and transfers are taken into account will be made in accordance with Code section 416 and the regulations
thereunder. Deductible employee contributions will not be taken into account for purposes of computing the Top-Heavy Ratio. When aggregating plans the value of account balances and accrued benefits will be calculated with reference to the
Determination Dates that fall within the same calendar year. 
 The accrued benefit of a Non Key Employee shall be determined under:
(x) the method, if any, that uniformly applies for accrual purposes under all defined benefit plans maintained by the Employer, or (y) if there is no such method, as if such benefit accrued not more rapidly than the slowest accrual rate
permitted under the fractional rule of Code section 411(b)(1)(C). 
 “Transfer Account” means so much of a
Participant’s Account as consists of amounts transferred from another eligible retirement plan (and corresponding earnings) pursuant to Article 4 in a transaction that was not an eligible rollover distribution within the meaning of Code section
402. 
 “Trust Fund” means all of the assets of the Plan held by the Trustee pursuant to Article 10 or held by an insurance
company pursuant to section 403 of ERISA.

 ARTICLE 2 DEFINITIONS 

 

 “Trustee” means the person or persons designated by the Plan Sponsor to
serve as the Trustee of the Trust Fund to the extent the assets of the Plan are not held solely by an insurance company. If the Trustee is a corporate Trustee the Trustee will be a directed Trustee unless otherwise indicated in a separate agreement.
If the Trustee is an individual Trustee, the Trustee will be a discretionary Trustee unless otherwise indicated in a separate agreement. 

“Valuation Date” has the meaning specified in the Adoption Agreement. Valuations of Employer Stock shall be made pursuant to
Section 9.10, in accordance with a method consistently followed and uniformly applied in good faith. Notwithstanding anything in the Adoption Agreement to the contrary and in the event that a Participant is to receive a distribution from the
Plan, or there is to be a transfer of assets and/or division of assets from the Plan, the Plan Administrator may in its sole discretion declare a special Valuation Date for that portion of the Plan that is not daily-valued in extraordinary
situations to protect the interests of Participants in the Plan or the Participant receiving the distribution. Such extraordinary circumstances include a significant change in economic conditions or market value of the Trust Fund. 

“Vesting Computation Period” means, for purposes of determining Years of Vesting Service, the period described in the
Adoption Agreement. 
 “Year of Eligibility Service” means, with respect to any Employee, an Eligibility Computation Period
during which he completes at least the service specified in the Adoption Agreement. If the Plan uses the elapsed time method: (a) “Year of Eligibility Service” means a twelve month period of time beginning on an Employee’s
Employment Commencement Date and ending on the date on which eligibility service is being determined; (b) in order to determine the number of whole Years of Eligibility Service under the elapsed time method, nonsuccessive periods of service and
less than whole year periods of service shall be aggregated on the basis that twelve months of service (30 days are deemed to be a month in the case of the aggregation of fractional months) or 365 days of service are equal to a whole year of
service; (c) an Employee will also receive credit for any Period of Severance of less than twelve consecutive months; and (d) if less than one Year of Eligibility Service is required in Article 3, such service shall be determined by
substituting such period for “twelve month” and “Year” where they appear in this paragraph. If the Plan provides for fractional Years of Eligibility Service, the requirement to complete any specified hours in the fractional
period shall be waived. 
 All eligibility service with the Employer is taken into account except that if permitted in the Adoption
Agreement, the following service shall be disregarded in determining Years of Eligibility Service: 
 (a) One-Year Holdout. If an Employee
has a One-Year Break in Service (One-Year Period of Severance to the extent the Plan uses the elapsed time method), Years of Eligibility Service before such period will not be taken into account until the Employee has completed a Year of Eligibility
Service after returning to employment with the Employer. 
 (b) Rule of Parity. If an Employee does not have any nonforfeitable right to the
Account balance derived from Employer contributions, Years of Eligibility Service before a period of five (5) consecutive One-Year Breaks in Service (One-Year Periods of Severance to the extent the Plan uses the elapsed time method) will not be
taken into account in computing eligibility service. 
 If a Participant’s Years of Eligibility Service are disregarded pursuant to the
foregoing, such Participant will be treated as a new Employee for eligibility purposes. If a Participant’s Years of Eligibility Service may not be disregarded pursuant to the foregoing, such Participant shall participate in the Plan pursuant to
the terms of Article 3. 
 To the extent provided in the Adoption Agreement, eligibility service may also include service with employers
other than the Employer. 
 “Year of Vesting Service” means a Vesting Computation Period during which the Employee
completes at least the number of hours specified in the Adoption Agreement. If the Plan uses the elapsed time method: (a) “Year of Vesting Service” means a twelve month period of time beginning on an Employee’s Employment
Commencement Date and ending on the date on which vesting service is being determined; (b) in order to determine the number of whole Years of Vesting Service under the elapsed time method, nonsuccessive periods of service and less than whole
year periods of service shall be aggregated on the basis that 12 months of service (30 days are deemed to be a month in the case of the aggregation of fractional months) or 365 days of service are equal to a whole year of service; and (c) an
Employee will also receive credit for any Period of Severance of less than 12-consecutive months.

 ARTICLE 2 DEFINITIONS 

 

 All Years of Vesting Service with the Employer are taken into account except that for an
Employee who has five consecutive One-Year Breaks in Service (One-Year Periods of Severance to the extent the Plan uses the elapsed time method) and except to the extent provided in Article 6, all periods of service after such breaks in
service/periods of severance shall be disregarded for the purpose of vesting the Employee’s Employer-derived Account balance that accrued before such breaks in service/periods of severance, but except as otherwise expressly provided, both the
service before and after such breaks in service/periods of severance shall count for purposes of vesting the Employee’s Employer-derived Account balance that accrues after such breaks in service/periods of severance pursuant to Article 6. 

In addition, if permitted in the Adoption Agreement, the following service shall be disregarded in determining Years of Vesting Service: 

(a) One-Year Holdout. If an Employee has a One-Year Break in Service (One-Year Period of Severance to the extent the Plan uses the elapsed
time method), Years of Vesting Service before such period will not be taken into account until the Employee has completed a Year of Vesting Service after returning to employment with the Employer. 

(b) Rule of Parity. If an Employee does not have any nonforfeitable right to the Account balance derived from Employer contributions, Years of
Vesting Service before a period of five (5) consecutive One-Year Breaks in Service (One-Year Periods of Severance to the extent the Plan uses the elapsed time method) will not be taken into account in computing vesting service. Elective
Deferrals under a qualified CODA are taken into account for purposes of determining whether a Participant is a nonvested Participant for purposes of Code section 411(a)(6)(D)(iii). 

(c) Years of Vesting Service before age 18 and/or Years of Vesting Service before the Employer maintained this Plan or a predecessor plan will
not be taken into account in computing vesting service. 
 To the extent provided in the Adoption Agreement, vesting service may also
include service with employers other than the Employer.

	Section 3.01	NON-ELECTIVE CONTRIBUTIONS 

 Each Eligible Employee as of the Effective Date who was
eligible to participate in the Plan with respect to Non-Elective Contributions immediately prior to the Effective Date shall be a Participant eligible to receive Non-Elective Contributions pursuant to Article 4 on the Effective Date. Each other
Eligible Employee who was not a Participant in the Plan with respect to Non-Elective Contributions immediately prior to the Effective Date shall become a Participant eligible to receive Non-Elective Contributions on the date specified in the
Adoption Agreement; provided that he is an Eligible Employee on such date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Participant shall be eligible to receive Non-Elective Contributions only to the extent such contributions are permitted in the Adoption
Agreement. 
  

	Section 3.02	TRANSFERS 

 If a change in job classification or a transfer results in an individual no
longer qualifying as an Eligible Employee, such Employee shall cease to be a Participant for purposes of Article 4 (or shall not become eligible to become a Participant) as of the effective date of such change of job classification or transfer.
Should such Employee again qualify as an Eligible Employee or if an Employee who was not previously an Eligible Employee becomes an Eligible Employee, he shall become a Participant with respect to the contributions for which the eligibility
requirements have been satisfied as of the later of the effective date of such subsequent change of status or the date the Employee meets the eligibility requirements of this Article 3. 

 

	Section 3.03	TERMINATION AND REHIRES 

 If an Employee has a Termination of Employment, such Employee
shall cease to be a Participant for purposes of Article 4 (or shall not become eligible to become a Participant) as of his Termination of Employment. An individual who has satisfied the applicable eligibility requirements set forth in Article 3 as
of his Termination date, and who is subsequently reemployed by the Company as an Eligible Employee, shall resume or become a Participant immediately upon his rehire date with respect to the contributions for which the eligibility requirements of
this Article 3 have been satisfied. An individual who has not so qualified for participation on his Termination date, and who is subsequently reemployed by the Company as an Eligible Employee, shall be eligible to participate as of the later of the
effective date of such reemployment or the date the individual meets the eligibility requirements of this Article 3. The determination of whether a rehired Eligible Employee satisfies the requirements of Article 3 shall be made after the application
of any applicable break in service rules. 
  

	Section 3.04	LIMITATIONS ON EXCLUSIONS 

 (a) Exclusions. Any employee exclusion entered in the
Adoption Agreement shall not be valid to the extent that such exclusion requires that the maximum number of Nonhighly Compensated Employees with the highest amount of compensation and/or service shall be excluded from participation so that the Plan
still meets the coverage requirements of Code section 410(b). 
 (b) Coverage. The Plan must provide that an Eligible Employee who has
attained age 21 and who has completed one Year of Eligibility Service (two Years of Eligibility Service may be used for contributions other than Elective Deferrals if the Plan provides a nonforfeitable right to 100% of the Participant’s
applicable Account balance after not more than 2 Years of Eligibility Service) shall commence participation in the Plan no later than the earlier of: (1) the first day of the first Plan Year beginning after the date on which such Eligible
Employee satisfied such requirements; or (2) the date that is 6 months after the date on which he satisfied such requirements. 
 (c) A
Participant shall be treated as benefiting under the Plan for any Plan Year during which the Participant received or is deemed to receive an allocation in accordance with Treas. Reg. section 1.410(b)-3(a). Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan
to the contrary, no Participant shall earn an allocation hereunder except as provided under the terms of the Plan as in effect on the last day of the Plan Year after giving effect to all retroactive amendments that may be permitted under applicable
Internal Revenue Service procedures and other applicable law; including, without limitation, any amendment permitted under Treas. Reg. section 1.401(a)(4)-11.

 ARTICLE 4 CONTRIBUTIONS 

ARTICLE 4 CONTRIBUTIONS 
  

	Section 4.01	NON-ELECTIVE CONTRIBUTIONS 

 (a) Amount. Subject to the limitations described in Article
5, the Company may, in its sole discretion, make Non-Elective Contributions to the Plan on behalf of each Participant who has completed any service requirements specified in the Adoption Agreement. 

(b) Allocation of Non-Elective Contributions. Non-Elective Contributions shall be allocated to the Non-Elective Contribution Accounts of each
Participant eligible to share in such allocations pursuant to Subsection (a) in the ratio that each Participant’s Compensation bears to the Compensation of all eligible Participants. 

(c) Participant. For purposes of this Section, “Participant” shall mean an Eligible Employee who has met the eligibility
requirements of Article 3 with respect to Non-Elective Contributions. 
 (d) Coverage Failures. If the application of the rules described
above causes the Plan to fail to meet the minimum coverage requirements of Code section 410(b)(1)(B) (the Plan does not benefit a percentage of Nonhighly Compensated Employees that is at least 70% of the percentage of Highly Compensated Employees
who benefit under the Plan) for any Plan Year with respect to contributions described in this Section 4.03 because such contributions have not been allocated to a sufficient number or percentage of Participants for such year, then the list of
Participants eligible to share in such contributions for such year shall be expanded to include the Participants described in the Adoption Agreement. 

(1) If the Adoption Agreement specifies that all non-excludable Participants shall be entitled to share in such contributions for such year,
then the following additional Participants shall be eligible to share in such contributions: 
 (A) Any Participant who remains in the
Employer’s employ on the last day of such Plan Year; and 
 (B) Any Participant who completes at least 501 Hours of Service during
such Plan Year (whether or not he remains in the Employer’s employ on the last day of such Plan Year). 
 (2) If the Adoption Agreement
specifies that just enough Participants shall be entitled to share in such contributions for such year, then the following additional Participants shall be eligible to share in such contributions: 

(A) The list of Participants eligible to share in such contributions for such Plan Year shall be expanded to include the minimum number of
Participants who would not otherwise be eligible as are necessary to satisfy the minimum coverage requirements under Code section 410(b)(1)(B). The specific Participants who shall become eligible to share in such contributions for such Plan Year
pursuant to this Paragraph (A) shall be those Participants who remain in the Company’s employ on the last day of such Plan Year and who have completed the greatest amount of service during the Plan Year. 

(B) If, after the application of Paragraph (A) above, the minimum coverage requirements of Code section 410(b)(1)(B) are still not
satisfied, then the list of Participants eligible to share in such contributions for such Plan Year shall be further expanded to include the minimum number of Participants who do not remain in the Company’s employ on the last day of the Plan
Year as are necessary to satisfy such requirements. The specific Participants who shall become eligible to share in the Company’s contribution for such Plan Year pursuant to this Paragraph (B) shall be those Participants who had completed
the greatest amount of service during the Plan Year before terminating their employment with the Employer. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Plan Administrator always retains the option to meet the minimum coverage requirements of Code section 410(b) by using the average benefits test of Code section 410(b)(1)(C).

 ARTICLE 4 CONTRIBUTIONS 

 

 (e) Disability. In addition to the foregoing, if the Adoption Agreement specifies that
contributions described in this Section shall be allocated to Disabled Participants, a Participant who does not meet the requirements of Subsection (a) due to Disability shall be eligible to share in such contributions; provided that such
Disability would also constitute a disability pursuant to Code section 22(e). The Company shall allocate the applicable contributions on behalf of each such Disabled Participant on the basis of the Compensation each such Participant would have
received for the Limitation Year if the Participant had been paid at the rate of Compensation paid immediately before suffering a Disability. Contributions allocated to Participants suffering a Disability pursuant to this Subsection shall be fully
vested when made. Such allocations shall cease on the first to occur of the following: 
 (1) the last day of the Plan Year in which occurs
the anniversary specified in the Adoption Agreement of the date the Plan Administrator determines that the Participant’s Disability commenced; 

(2) the date the Participant ceases to suffer from a Disability; 

(3) the date the Participant refuses to submit to a periodic examination by the Company or its agent to determine the existence of a
Disability; or 
 (4) the date the Participant dies. 
  

	Section 4.02	ROLLOVER CONTRIBUTIONS 

 (a) To the extent provided in the Adoption Agreement, the Plan
Administrator may direct the Trustee to accept Rollover Contributions made in cash or other form acceptable to the Trustee. Rollover Contributions shall be allocated to the Participant’s/Eligible Employee’s (to the extent elected in the
Adoption Agreement) Rollover Contribution Account. The Plan may accept the following Rollover Contributions to the extent allowed by the Plan Administrator in its sole discretion: 

(1) A rollover from a plan qualified under Code section 401(a) or 403(a) if the contribution qualifies as a tax-free rollover as defined in
Code section 402(c). If it is later determined that the amount received does not qualify as a tax-free rollover, the amount shall be refunded to the Eligible Employee. 

(2) A rollover from a “Conduit Individual Retirement Account”, as determined in accordance with procedures established by the Plan
Administrator and only if the contribution qualifies as a tax-free rollover as defined in Code section 402(c). If it is later determined that the amount received does not qualify as a tax-free rollover, the amount shall be refunded to the Eligible
Employee. 
 (3) A direct rollover of an eligible rollover distribution of after-tax employee contributions from a qualified plan described
in Code section 401(a) or 403(a). The Plan shall separately account for amounts so transferred, including separately accounting for the portion of such contribution which is includible in gross income and the portion of such contribution which is
not so includible. 
 (4) Any rollover of an eligible rollover distribution from an annuity contract described in Code section 403(b). The
Plan shall separately account for after-tax amounts so transferred, including separately accounting for the portion of such contribution which is includible in gross income and the portion of such contribution which is not so includible. 

(5) Any rollover of an eligible rollover distribution from an eligible plan under Code section 457(b) which is maintained by a state,
political subdivision of a state, or any agency or instrumentality of a state or political subdivision of a state. 
 (6) Any rollover
contribution of the portion of a distribution from an individual retirement account or annuity described in Code sections 408(a) or 408(b) that is eligible to be rolled over and would otherwise be includible in gross income. 

(7) If the Plan permits Roth Elective Deferrals, the Plan may accept a Rollover Contribution to a Roth Elective Deferral Account only if it is
a direct rollover from another Roth elective deferral account under an applicable retirement plan described in Code section 402A(e)(1) and only to the extent the rollover is permitted under the rules of Code section 402(c).

 (8) Any additional rollover contribution as may be permitted by applicable law. 

(b Plan Administrator Procedures. The Plan Administrator may establish uniform procedures that include, but are not limited to, prescribing
limitations on the frequency and minimum amount of rollovers; provided, that no procedures involving minimum amounts shall prescribe a minimum withdrawal greater than $1,000. 
  


	Section 4.03	TRANSFERS 

 The Trustee may accept a direct transfer of assets, made without the consent
of the affected Employees, from the trustee of any other qualified plan described in Code section 401(a) to the extent permitted by the Code and the regulations and rulings thereunder. In the event assets are transferred to the Plan pursuant to the
foregoing sentence, the transferred assets shall be accounted for separately in the Transfer Account of the affected Employees to the extent necessary to preserve a more favorable vesting schedule or any other any legally-protected benefits
available to such Employees under the transferor plan. The Plan Administrator shall establish a vesting schedule for the Transfer Account; provided that such schedule is not less favorable that the vesting schedule under the transferor plan. 

 

	Section 4.04	MILITARY SERVICE 

 (a) In General. Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the
contrary, contributions, benefits and service credit with respect to qualified military service shall be provided in accordance with Code section 414(u). 

(b) Death Benefits Under USERRA. Effective January 1, 2007, if a Participant dies while performing qualified military service (as defined
in Code section 414(u)), the survivors of the Participant are entitled to any additional benefits (other than benefit accruals relating to the period of qualified military service specified in Subsection (d) below) provided under the plan as if
the Participant had resumed and then terminated employment on account of death pursuant to Code section 401(a)(37), Notice 2010-5 and any superseding guidance. 

(c) Death or Disability During Qualified Military Service. To the extent provided in the Adoption Agreement and pursuant to Code section
414(u)(9), Notice 2010-5 and any superseding guidance, a Participant that dies or becomes disabled while performing qualified military service (as defined in Code section 414(u)) will be treated as if he had been employed by the Company on the day
preceding death or disability and terminated employment on the day of death or disability and receive benefit accruals related to the period of qualified military service as provided under Code section 414(u)(8), except as provided below: 

(1) All Participants eligible for benefits under the Plan by reason of this Section shall be provided benefits on reasonably equivalent terms.

  

	Section 4.05	MULTIPLE EMPLOYER PLAN 

 If the Employees of more than one employer within the meaning of
Code section 413(c) and that is a member of the same controlled group of corporations as the Employer within the meaning of Code section 1563(a) (as modified by subparagraphs (B) and (C) of Code section 409(l)(4) and as determined without
regard to sections 1563(a)(4) and 1563(e)(C) are covered under the Plan, the provisions of such section shall apply to the Plan. The Plan Administrator may restrict the allocation of any forfeitures arising hereunder to the entity for which the
applicable Participant is or was employed.

	Section 4A.01	ESOP CONTRIBUTIONS 

 (a) Amount of ESOP Contributions. The Company shall make a
contribution to the Plan in cash sufficient to pay any currently maturing obligations on an Exempt Loan (to the extent that such obligations will not be satisfied pursuant to the terms of Article 4 by means of contributions paid to ESOP Accounts or
by use of dividends pursuant to Article 9). Such contributions shall be applied, as the Plan Administrator shall direct the Trustee, to repay any outstanding Exempt Loan in accordance with any pledge or similar agreement. The Company may make
additional contributions in cash or Employer Stock; provided however, that Rollover Contributions and transfers may be in such other form that may be acceptable to the Trustee and the Plan Administrator. 

(b) Allocation of ESOP Contributions. ESOP Contributions made in the form of Employer Stock and Employer Stock transferred to the Released and
Unallocated Account shall be allocated to the ESOP Accounts in the manner specified in Section 4.01(b) and determined by the Plan Administrator. The shares so allocated shall have a fair market value as of the allocation date equal to the
amount of the contributions to which the Participant is entitled. Allocations to Participants within each ESOP Account shall be made pursuant to the terms of Section 4.01(b). 

 

	Section 4A.02	EXEMPT LOAN 

 (a) Authorization - Use. The Board may direct the Trustee to borrow money
from a Disqualified Person, or another source which is guaranteed by a Disqualified Person, the proceeds of which are used within a reasonable time to: (1) acquire Employer Stock, (2) repay such Exempt Loan, or (3) repay a prior
Exempt Loan pursuant to applicable regulations. 
 (b) Terms of Exempt Loan Agreements. All Exempt Loans shall satisfy the following
requirements: 
 (1) The loan shall be primarily for the benefit of Participants and their Beneficiaries. 

(2) The loan shall be for a specified term, shall bear no more than a reasonable rate of interest, and shall not be payable on demand except
in the event of default. 
 (3) The terms of an Exempt Loan must be at least as favorable to the Plan as the terms of a comparable loan
resulting from an arm’s length negotiation between independent parties. 
 (4) The collateral pledged by the Trustee shall consist only
of the Employer Stock purchased with the borrowed funds, or Employer Stock that was pledged as collateral in connection with a prior Exempt Loan that was repaid with the proceeds of the current Exempt Loan. 

(5) Under the terms of the loan agreement, the lender shall have no recourse against the Trust, or any of its assets, except with respect to
the collateral and contributions (other than contributions of Employer Stock) by the Company that are made to satisfy the Trustee’s obligations under the loan agreement and earnings attributable to such collateral and such contributions. 

(6) No person entitled to payment under the Exempt Loan has any right to Plan assets other than collateral given for the Exempt Loan,
contributions (other than contributions of Employer Stock) that are made under the Plan to meet its obligations under the Exempt Loan, and earnings attributable to such collateral and the investment of such contributions. 

(7) The payments made on the Exempt Loan during a Plan Year shall not exceed an amount equal to the sum of such contributions and earnings
received during or prior to the year less such payments on the Exempt Loan in prior years. Such contributions and earnings must be accounted for separately in the books of account for separately in the books of account of the ESOP until the Exempt
Loan is repaid. 
 (8) The Exempt Loan cannot be payable upon the demand of any person except in the event of default. In the event of
default, the value of Plan assets transferred in satisfaction of the Exempt Loan shall not exceed the amount of default; moreover, if the lender is a Disqualified Person, the loan agreement shall provide for a transfer of Plan assets upon default
only upon and to the extent of the failure of the Plan to meet the payment schedule of the Exempt Loan. For purposes of this paragraph, the making of a guarantee does not make a person a lender.

	Section 4A.03	RELEASE OF EMPLOYER STOCK 

 (a) Employer Stock purchased with the proceeds of an Exempt
Loan shall be held in the Suspense Account as the collateral for that Exempt Loan. Such Employer Stock shall be released from the Suspense Account, and transferred to the Released and Unallocated Account, on a pro-rata basis according to the amount
of the payment on the Exempt Loan determined under one of the following two alternative formulas specified in Subsections (a)(1) and (a)(2) in the discretion of the Plan Administrator and in accordance with the terms of the Exempt Loan. 

(1) For each payment during the duration of the Exempt Loan, the number of shares of Employer Stock released and transferred to the Released
and Unallocated Account shall equal the number of such shares held in the Suspense Account immediately before release for the current payment period multiplied by a fraction. The numerator of the fraction is the amount of principal and interest paid
for the payment period, and the denominator of the fraction is the sum of the numerator plus the remaining principal and interest to be paid for all future payments. The number of future payments under the Exempt Loan must be definitely
ascertainable and must be determined without taking into account any possible extensions or renewal periods. If the interest rate under the Exempt Loan is variable, the interest to be paid in future payment periods must be computed by using the
interest rate applicable as of the end of the immediately preceding payment period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Exempt Loan is repaid with the proceeds of a subsequent Exempt Loan, such repayment shall not operate to release all of the
Employer Stock in the Suspense Account; rather, such release shall be effected pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this subsection on the basis of payments of principal and interest on such substitute loan. If collateral includes more than one
class of securities, the number of securities of each class to be released for a Plan Year must be determined by applying the same fraction to each class; or 

(2) For each payment during the duration of the Exempt Loan, the number of shares of Employer Stock released and transferred to the Released
and Unallocated Account is determined solely with reference to the principal payment of the Exempt Loan. Employer Stock in the Suspense Account may be released in accordance with this subsection (2) only if the following three conditions are
met: 
 (i) The Exempt Loan provides for annual payments of principal and interest at a cumulative rate that is not less rapid at any time
than level annual payments of such amounts for ten years; 
 (ii) The interest portion of any payment is disregarded for purposes of
determining the number of shares released only to the extent it would be treated as interest under standard loan amortization tables; and 

(iii) If the Exempt Loan is renewed, extended or refinanced, the sum of the expired duration of the Exempt Loan and the renewal period, the
extension period or the duration of a new Exempt Loan does not exceed ten years. 
 (b) More than One Exempt Loan. If at any time there is
more than one Exempt Loan outstanding, separate accounts shall be established under the Suspense Account and the Released and Unallocated Account for each Exempt Loan. Each Exempt Loan for which a separate account is maintained shall be treated
separately for purposes of Subsection (a) governing the release of shares from the Suspense Account. 
 (c) If the Employer is a
C-Corporation and no more than one-third of the Employer contributions that are used to repay the principal and interest due on an Exempt Loan and that are deductible under Code section 404(a)(9) are allocated to the accounts of Highly Compensated
Employees during the Plan Year, then Annual Additions do not include forfeitures of the Employer Stock purchased with the proceeds of an Exempt Loan and also do not include Employer contributions that are used to pay interest on an Exempt Loan and
are deductible under Code section 404(a)(9)(B) and charged against the Participant’s Account. 
  

	Section 4A.04	PROHIBITED ALLOCATION 

 (a) Section 1042. Notwithstanding any provision in this Plan
to the contrary, if shares of Employer Stock (in a C-Corporation only) are sold to the Plan by a shareholder in a transaction for which special tax treatment is elected by such shareholder (or his representative) pursuant to Code section 1042, no
assets attributable to such Employer Stock may be allocated to the ESOP Accounts of: (i) the shareholder, and any person who is related to such shareholder [within the meaning of Code section 267(b)], during the Nonallocation Period except that
lineal descendants of such shareholder may

 ARTICLE 4 CONTRIBUTIONS 

 

 
receive allocations so long as no more than 5% of the aggregate amount of all Employer Stock sold by such shareholder in a transaction to which Code section 1042 applies is allocated to such
lineal descendants of such shareholder; and (ii) any other person who owns [after application of Code section 318(a)] more than 25 percent in value of the outstanding securities of the Employer. 

For purposes of this Subsection, “nonallocation period” means the period beginning on the date of a sale of Employer Stock to the
Plan financed with an Exempt Loan and ending on the later of ten years after the date of such sale or the date of the allocation attributable to the final payment on the Exempt Loan incurred with respect to the sale. 

(b) Subchapter S Corporations. 

(1) In General. Notwithstanding any provision in this Plan to the contrary, if the Employer Stock is issued by an S Corporation, no portion of
the assets attributable to (or allocable in lieu of) Employer Stock may, during a Nonallocation Year, accrue (or be allocated directly or indirectly under any Employer plan qualified under Code section 401(a)) for the benefit of any S Corporation
Disqualified Person. This Subsection (b) shall be effective for Plan Years beginning after December 31, 2004 and only to the extent that Employer Stock consists of shares in an S Corporation. However, in the case of: (i) an employee
stock ownership plan established after March 14, 2001 (within the meaning of Internal Revenue Service Revenue Ruling 2003-6); or (ii) an employee stock ownership plan established on or before March 14, 2001 where the employer
securities held by the Plan consist of stock in a corporation that is not an S Corporation on such date, this Subsection (b) shall be effective for Plan Years ending after March 14, 2001. 

(2) Prevention of Nonallocation Year. In the absence of a Board resolution to otherwise prevent a Nonallocation Year, or if the Plan
Administrator determines that a future event will cause a Nonallocation Year, the Plan Adminstrator will reduce the account balances of S Corporation of Disqualified Persons by transferring as described below the number of shares of Employer Stock
necessary to prevent a Nonallocation Year. The affected Employer Stock will be transferred from the ESOP Portion to the Non-ESOP Portion prior to the Nonallocation Year. Immediately following the transfer, the number of shares transferred from that
Participant’s account in the ESOP portion will be credited to the Participant’s Non-ESOP portion. The Plan Administrator will take steps to ensure that all actions necessary to implement the transfer are taken before the Nonallocation Year
occurs. 
 (3) Other Rules. The following other rules apply for purposes of this Subsection (b): 

(A) Treatment of Synthetic Equity. 

(i) In General. For purposes of Subsections (3)(A) and (3)(B), in the case of a person who owns Synthetic Equity in the S Corporation,
except to the extent provided in regulations, the shares of stock in such corporation on which such Synthetic Equity is based shall be treated as outstanding stock in such corporation and Deemed-Owned Shares of such person if such treatment of
Synthetic Equity of one or more such persons results in (i) the treatment of any person as a S Corporation Disqualified Person, or (ii) the treatment of any year as a Nonallocation Year. For purposes of this Subsection, Synthetic Equity
shall be treated as owned by a person in the same manner as stock is treated as owned by a person under the rules of Code section 318(a)) as modified in this paragraph. In applying Code section 318(a)(1), the members of an individuals family include
the Members of the Family and Code section 318(a)(4) regarding stock options ins disregarded. Notwithstanding the employee trust exception in section 318(a)(2)(B)(i), an individual is treated as owning Deemed-Owned Shares of the individual. If,
without regard to this Subsection, a person is treated as a S Corporation Disqualified Person or a year is treated as a Nonallocation Year, this Subsection shall not be construed to result in the person or year not being so treated. 

(ii) Determination of Other Synthetic Equity. This Subsection (2) shall apply with regard to other Synthetic Equity described in Treas.
Reg. section 1.409(p)-1(f)(4)(iii)(A) or superseding guidance. The Plan Administrator shall use the first day of the Plan Year as the annual determination date and the number of shares of Synthetic Equity owned shall be treated as owned for the
period from a determination date through the date immediately preceding the next following determination date pursuant to Treas. Reg. section 1.409(p)-1(f)(4)(iii)(B). The Plan Administrator shall use triannual recalculations specified in Treas.
Reg. section 1.409(p)-1(f)(4)(iii)(C). Such triannual recalculations may be modified as provided in Treas. Reg. section 1.409(p)-1(f)(4)(iii)(C)(3).

	Section 4A.05	NON-ESOP PORTION OF PLAN 

 (a) Non-ESOP Portion. Assets held under the Plan in accordance
with this Section are held under a portion of the Plan that is not an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP), within the meaning of Code section 4975(e)(7). Amounts held in the portion of the Plan that is not an ESOP (the Non-ESOP portion) shall be
held in Accounts that are separate from the Accounts for the amounts held in the remainder of the Plan (the ESOP Portion). Any statements provided to Participants and/or Beneficiaries to show their interest in the Plan shall separately identify the
amounts held in each such portion. Except as specifically set forth in this Section, all of the terms of the Plan apply to any amount held under the Non-ESOP Portion of the Plan in the same manner and to the same extent as an amount held under the
ESOP Portion of the Plan. 
 (b) Transfers from ESOP Portion to Non-ESOP Portion of Plan. 

(1) Amount to be Transferred. In the case of any event that the Plan Administrator determines would otherwise cause a Nonallocation Event to
occur, shares of employer stock held under the Plan before the date of the Nonallocation Event shall be transferred from the ESOP Portion of the Plan to the Non-ESOP Portion of the Plan as provided in Subsection (b)(2). The amount transferred under
this Subsection shall be the amount that the Plan Administrator determines to be the minimum amount that is necessary to ensure that a Nonallocation Year does not occur, but in no event is the amount so transferred to be less than the excess of
(i) the total number of shares of Employer Stock that, held in the ESOP account of those Participants who are or who would be S Corporation Disqualified Persons after taking into account the Participant’s Synthetic Equity and the
Nonallocation Event exceeds (ii) the number of shares of Employer Stock equal to 49.9% of the total number of shares of Employer Stock outstanding after taking the Nonallocation Event into account (causing a Nonallocation Year to occur). The
Plan Administrator shall take steps to ensure that all actions necessary to implement the transfer are taken before the Nonallocation Event occurs. 

(2) Ordering Rules. 
 (A)
Except as provided for in Subsection (b)(2)(B), at the date of the transfer, the total number of shares transferred, as provided for in Subsection (b)(1), shall be charged against the accounts of Participants who are S Corporation Disqualified
Persons (i) by first reducing the ESOP account of the Participant who is a S Corporation Disqualified Person whose account has the largest number of shares (with the addition of Synthetic Equity shares) and (ii) thereafter by reducing the
ESOP accounts of each succeeding Participant who is a S Corporation Disqualified Person who has the largest number of shares in his or her account (with the addition of Synthetic Equity shares). Immediately following the transfer, the number of
transferred shares charged against any Participant’s account in the ESOP Portion of the Plan shall be credited to an account established for that Participant in the Non-ESOP portion of the Plan. 

(B) Notwithstanding Subsection (b)(2)(A), the number of shares transferred shall be charged against the accounts of Participants who are S
Corporation Disqualified Person (i) by first reducing the account of the Participant with the fewest shares (including Synthetic Equity shares) who is a S Corporation Disqualified Person and who is a Highly Compensated Employee to cause the
Participant not to be a disqualified person, and (ii) thereafter reducing the account of each other Participant who is a S Corporation Disqualified Person and a Highly Compensated Employee, in the order of who has the fewest ESOP shares
(including synthetic equity shares). A transfer under this Subsection (b)(2)(B) only applies to the extent that the transfer results in fewer shares being transferred than in a transfer under Subsection (b)(2)(A). 

(3) Tie Breaker. 
 (A) If two
or more Participants described in Subsection (b)(2) have the same number of shares, the account of the Participant with the longest service shall be reduced first. 

(B) Beneficiaries of the Plan are treated as Plan Participants for purposes of this Section. 

(c) Income Taxes. If the Trust owes income taxes as a result of unrelated business taxable income under Code section 512(e) with respect to
shares of employer stock held in the Non-ESOP Portion of the Plan, the income tax payments made by the Trustee shall be charged against the accounts of each Participant or Beneficiary who has an account in the Non-ESOP Portion of the Plan in
proportion to the ratio of the shares of employer stock in such Participant’s or Beneficiary’s account in the non-ESOP Portion of the Plan to the total shares of employer stock in the non-ESOP Portion of the Plan. The Employer shall
purchase shares of employer stock from the Trustee with cash (based on the fair market value of the shares so purchased) from each such account to the extent cash is not otherwise available to make the income tax payments from the Participant’s
or Beneficiary’s ESOP accounts or his or her other defined contribution plan accounts.

 ARTICLE 5 LIMITATIONS ON CONTRIBUTIONS 

ARTICLE 5 LIMITATIONS ON CONTRIBUTIONS 
  

	Section 5.01	MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF ANNUAL ADDITIONS 

 (a) General Rule. 

(1) One Plan. If the Participant does not participate in, and has never participated in another qualified plan maintained by the Employer or a
welfare benefit fund, as defined in Code section 419(e) maintained by the Employer, or an individual medical account, as defined in Code section 415(l)(2), maintained by the Employer, or a simplified employee pension plan, as defined in Code section
408(k), maintained by the Employer, which provides an Annual Addition, the amount of Annual Additions which may be credited to the Participant’s Account for any Limitation Year will not exceed the lesser of the maximum permissible amount
specified in Section 5.01(b) or any other limitation contained in this Plan. If the Employer contribution that would otherwise be contributed or allocated to the Participant’s Account would cause the Annual Additions for the Limitation
Year to exceed such maximum permissible amount, the amount contributed or allocated will be reduced so that the Annual Additions for the Limitation Year will equal the maximum permissible amount. 

(2) Multiple Plans. This Subsection 5.01(a)(2) applies if, in addition to this Plan, the Participant is covered under another qualified
defined contribution plan maintained by the Employer, a welfare benefit fund maintained by the Employer, an individual medical account maintained by the Employer, or a simplified employee pension plan maintained by the Employer, that provides an
Annual Addition during any Limitation Year. The Annual Additions which may be credited to a Participant’s Account under this Plan for any such Limitation Year will not exceed the maximum permissible amount specified in Section 5.01(b)
reduced by the Annual Additions credited to a Participant’s account under the other qualified defined contribution plans, welfare benefit funds, individual medical accounts, and simplified employee pension plans for the same Limitation Year.

 (b) Maximum Permissible Amount. For Limitation Years beginning on or after January 1, 2002, the maximum permissible amount is the
lesser of: 
 (1) $40,000, as adjusted for increases in the cost-of-living under Code section 415(d); or 

(2) 100% of the Participant’s Statutory Compensation for the Limitation Year. The Compensation limit referred to in this Subsection
(b)(2) shall not apply to any contribution for medical benefits after separation from service (within the meaning of Code sections 401(h) or 419A(f)(2)) which is otherwise treated as an Annual Addition. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence,
Statutory Compensation for purposes of Section 5.01 for a Participant in a defined contribution plan who is permanently and totally disabled (as defined in Code section 22(e)(3)) is the Compensation such Participant would have received for the
Limitation Year if the Participant had been paid at the rate of Compensation paid immediately before becoming permanently and totally disabled. 

Prior to determining the Participant’s actual Statutory Compensation for the Limitation Year, the Employer may determine the maximum
permissible amount for a Participant on the basis of a reasonable estimation of the Participant’s Statutory Compensation for the Limitation Year, uniformly determined for all Participants similarly situated. As soon as is administratively
feasible after the end of the Limitation Year, the maximum permissible amount for the Limitation Year will be determined on the basis of the Participant’s actual Statutory Compensation for the Limitation Year. 

(c) Correction of Excess. If there is an allocation in excess of the Maximum Permissible Amount, the Plan Administrator shall correct such
excess pursuant to the procedures outlined under EPCRS as described in Rev. Proc. 2008-50 and any superseding guidance.

 ARTICLE 5 LIMITATIONS ON CONTRIBUTIONS 

 

 (d) Special ESOP Rule. 

(1) General Rule. In the case of an applicable plan that meets the requirements of Subsection (d)(2) below, the limitations imposed by this
Section do not apply to: (i) forfeitures of employer securities (within the meaning of Code section 409(l)) if such securities were acquired with the proceeds of a loan (as described in Code section 404(a)(9)(A)); or (ii) employer
contributions which are deductible under Code section 404(a)(9)(B) and charged against the Participant’s Account. 
 (2) Applicable
Plan. An employee stock ownership plan as described in Code section 4975(e)(7) meets the requirements of this Subsection if no more than one-third of the employer contributions for the Limitation Year that are deductible under Code section 404(a)(9)
are allocated to Highly Compensated Employees. This Subsection (f) shall not apply if the Employer Stock is issued by an S Corporation. 

(e) Stock Value Declines Below Basis. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the amount of Company contributions attributable to ESOP Contributions
that is considered an Annual Addition for any Limitation Year shall in no event be greater than the lesser of (i) the amount of the payment of principal and interest on the Acquisition Loan or (ii) the fair market value of shares released
from the Suspense Account on account of the repayment and allocated to Participants.

 ARTICLE 6 VESTING 

 

 Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Participant will become fully (100%) vested upon his
attainment of Normal Retirement Age while an Employee. In addition, the Adoption Agreement may provide that a Participant will become fully (100%) vested upon (i) his death while an Employee, or (ii) his suffering a Disability while
an Employee. 
  

	Section 6.03	FORFEITURES 

 (a) Participants Receiving a Distribution. A Participant who receives a
distribution of the value of the entire vested portion of his Account shall forfeit the nonvested portion of such Account as soon as administratively feasible after such distribution; but no later than the end of the Plan Year following the date of
such distribution. For purposes of this Section, if the value of a Participant’s vested Account balance is zero upon Termination, the Participant shall be deemed to have received a distribution of such vested Account. A Participant’s
vested Account balance shall not include accumulated deductible employee contributions within the meaning of Code section 72(o)(5)(B) for Plan Years beginning prior to January 1, 1989. If the Participant elects to the extent permitted by
Article 7 to have distributed less than the entire vested portion of the Account balance derived from Employer contributions, the part of the nonvested portion that will be treated as a forfeiture is the total nonvested portion multiplied by a
fraction, the numerator of which is the amount of the distribution attributable to Employer contributions and the denominator of which is the total value of the vested Employer-derived Account balance. No forfeitures will occur solely as a result of
a Participant’s withdrawal of employee contributions. 
 (b) Participants Not Receiving a Distribution. The nonvested portion of the
Account balance of a Participant who has a Termination of Employment and does not receive a complete distribution of the vested portion of his Account shall be forfeited as soon as administratively feasible after the date he incurs five consecutive
One-Year Breaks in Service (One-Year Periods of Severance if the Plan uses the elapsed time method); but no later than the end of the Plan Year following the date of such break in service. 

(c) Reemployment. 
 (1) Before
Five One-Year Breaks. If a Participant receives or is deemed to receive a distribution pursuant to this Section and the Participant resumes employment covered under this Plan, the Participant’s Employer-derived Account balance will be restored
to the amount on the date of distribution if the Participant repays to the Plan the full amount of the distribution attributable to Employer contributions before the earlier of 5 years after the first date on which the Participant is subsequently
reemployed by the Employer, or the date the Participant incurs 5 consecutive One-Year Breaks in Service (One-Year Periods of Severance if the Plan uses the elapsed time method) following the date of the distribution. If a zero-vested Participant is
deemed to receive a distribution pursuant to this Section, and the Participant resumes employment covered under this Plan before the date the Participant incurs 5 consecutive One-Year Breaks in Service (One-Year Periods of Severance if the Plan uses
the elapsed time method), upon the reemployment of such Participant, the Employer-derived Account balance of the Participant will be restored to the amount on the date of such deemed distribution. Forfeitures that are restored pursuant to the
foregoing shall be accomplished by an allocation of forfeitures, or if such forfeitures are insufficient, by a special Company contribution. 

(2) After Five One-Year Breaks. If a Participant resumes employment as an Eligible Employee after forfeiting the nonvested portion of his
Account balance after 5 consecutive One-Year Breaks in Service (One-Year Periods of Severance if the Plan uses the elapsed time method) and is not fully vested upon reemployment, the Participant’s Account balance attributable to his pre-break
service shall be kept separate from that portion of his Account balance attributable to his post-break service until such time as his post-break Account balance becomes fully vested. 

(d) Disposition of Forfeitures. Amounts forfeited from a Participant’s Account under this Section shall be used to restore forfeitures,
reduce Company contributions made pursuant to Article 4 or to pay Plan expenses. 
 (e) Employer Stock Fund. The portion of a
Participant’s Account invested in Investment Funds other than the Employer Stock Fund shall be forfeited before that portion of the Account invested in the Employer Stock Fund. If the Participant’s Account is invested in more than one
class of qualifying employer securities, the Participant shall forfeit the same proportion from each such class

 ARTICLE 6 VESTING 

 

 (f) Vesting Following In-Service Withdrawals or Payment in Installments. If a distribution is
made at a time when a Participant has a nonforfeitable right to less than 100 percent of his Account derived from Employer contributions and the Participant may increase the nonforfeitable percentage in the Account: 

(1) A separate Account will be established for the Participant’s interest in the Plan as of the time of the distribution, and 

(2) At any relevant time the Participant’s nonforfeitable portion of the separate Account will be equal to an amount (“X”)
determined by the formula: 
 X = P(AB + (R × D)) - (R × D) 

For purposes of applying the formula: P is the nonforfeitable percentage at the relevant time; AB is the Account balance at the relevant
time; D is the amount of the distribution; and R is the ratio of the Account balance at the relevant time to the Account balance after distribution.

greater of (i) five (5) years, or (ii) in case of Participant with account balance greater than $1,035,000, five (5) years plus one year for each $205,000 that the balance exceeds $1,035,000. These dollar amounts are adjusted for
cost of living by the Secretary of the Treasury in accordance with Code section 409(o)(2) at the same time and manner as under Code section 415(d). To the extent permitted in the Adoption Agreement, a Participant may elect to have payments extend
over a longer or shorter period. 
 (4) Delayed Distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing and at the election of the Plan Administrator,
distribution of the ESOP Contribution Account (other than for reasons specified in Paragraph (1) above) need not commence until the close of the Plan Year in which the Exempt Loan is repaid in full; provided that the proceeds of the Exempt loan
were not used to acquire Employer Stock issued by an S Corporation.

 The Beneficiary shall provide the Plan Administrator with the death
notice or other sufficient documentation before any payments are made pursuant to this Subsection. 
 (d) Special Rules Relating to ESOP
Accounts. 
 (1) In General. Unless a Participant elects to receive his distribution in cash, distribution of a Participant’s vested
ESOP Account shall be made in whole shares of Employer Stock, with any fractional shares paid in cash. Shares of Employer Stock distributed may include such legend restrictions on transferability as the Company may reasonably require to assure
compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary: (i) a Participant shall not have the right to receive Employer Stock with respect to the portion of the Participant’s
Account that has been reinvested pursuant to Section 9.02(b), and (ii) except as otherwise provided in the Adoption Agreement and if the Plan is an Applicable Plan , a distribution from the Employer Stock Fund shall be made in cash. If
pursuant to the foregoing a Participant elects to receive any portion of his ESOP Account in the form of Employer Stock that is invested in Investment Funds other than the Employer Stock Fund, the Plan Administrator shall direct the Trustee to
liquidate such other Investment Funds and purchase whole shares Employer Stock with the proceeds. In the event that there is not enough Employer Stock available for purchase, the Participant may elect to: (i) receive Employer Stock to the
extent available and receive the balance in cash, (ii) receive Employer Stock to the extent available and receive the balance in Employer Stock at a later date when such stock becomes available, or (iii) defer distribution until such
Employer Stock becomes available. 
 (2) Put Option. If the Employer Stock is not readily tradable on an established market (within the
meaning of IRS Notice 2011-19 for Plan Years beginning on or after January 1, 2012 or such later date provided in such Notice) and the Plan is not an Applicable Plan, the Employer or the Plan will purchase Employer Stock that has been
distributed to a Participant or Beneficiary if the Participant or Beneficiary offers the Employer stock for sale to the Employer or the Plan during one of the two put option periods described below. A fair valuation formula that meets the
requirements of section 9.10 will be used to determine the amount to be paid to the Participant or Beneficiary. 
 The first put option period is the period
of 60 days beginning on the date following the date that the Employer Stock distributed to the Participant or Beneficiary. The second put option period is a period of 60 days in the following Plan Year. 

Such put option shall be enforceable by the Participant for a period of at least 60 days following the date of distribution of Employer Stock and, if the put
option is not exercised within such 60-day period, for an additional period of at least 60 days in the following Plan Year (as provided in applicable Treasury regulations). The Company may permit the Trustee to purchase any shares covered by the put
option directly from the Participant. 
 (A) Payment Requirement for Total Distribution. If the Company is required to repurchase Employer
Stock that is distributed to the Participant as part of a total distribution, the Company may make payments in substantially equal periodic payments (not less frequently than annually) over a period beginning not later than 30 days

after the exercise of the put option and not exceeding 5 years, provided that there is adequate security provided and reasonable interest paid on the unpaid amounts. For purposes of this
paragraph, the term “total distribution” means the distribution within one taxable year to the recipient of the balance to the credit of the recipient’s account. 

(B) Payment Requirement for Installment Distributions. If the Company is required to repurchase Employer Stock as part of an installment
distribution, payment shall made not later than 30 days after the exercise of the put option described in this paragraph (3). 
 (3) Right
of First Refusal. To the extent provided in the Adoption Agreement, shares of Employer Stock distributed by the Trustee to a Participant or Beneficiary shall be subject to a “Right of First Refusal” if such shares do not constitute
registration-type securities within the meaning of Code section 409(e). 
 (A) Parties. The Right of First Refusal shall be in favor of the
Company, the Plan, or both in any order of priority as determined by the Plan Administrator. 
 (B) Price. The selling price and other
terms under the Right of First Refusal must not be less favorable to the Participant than the greater of the value of the Employer Stock determined under Section 9.10, or the purchase price and other written terms offered by an independent and
unrelated buyer making a good faith offer to purchase the Employer Stock. 
 (C) Term. The Right of First Refusal must lapse no later than
14 days after the Participant gives written notice to the holder of the Employer Stock by an independent and unrelated buyer. 
 (D)
Conditions. The Company may require that the distributee execute such documents (and may provide suitable legends on the applicable stock certificates) that include the terms of the right of first refusal prior to receiving Employer Stock. 

(4) Stock Reshuffling. If the Plan is an Applicable Plan, any Employer Stock held in an ESOP Account shall be redeemed or transferred annually
to the extent provided in the Adoption Agreement. Such redemption or transfer shall be subject to the following: 
 (A) Employer Stock
diversified under sections 9.02(b) shall not be mandatorily returned to Participants’ Accounts who are subject to such provisions. 

(B) If the Participant may take an immediate distribution of his or her Account and does not consent to a distribution and is subject to the
Reshuffling provisions such Participant must be provided sufficient investment options in order to ensure that the loss of the Employer Stock investment is not a significant detriment within the meaning of Treas. Reg. section 1.411(a)-11(c)(2)(i).

 (e) Valuation Date. The distributable amount of a Participant’s Account is the vested portion of his Account as of the Valuation
Date coincident with or next preceding the date distribution is made to the Participant or Beneficiary as reduced by any subsequent distributions, withdrawals or loans. 

(f) Restriction on Deferral of Payment. Unless otherwise elected, benefit payments under the Plan will begin to a Participant not later than
the 60th day after the latest of the close of the Plan Year in which: 
 (1) the Participant attains Normal Retirement Age; 

(2) occurs the 10th anniversary of the year in which his participation commenced; or 

(3) the Participant has a Termination of Employment. 

(g) Minimum Distribution Requirements. Distributions shall be made in a method that is in conformance with the requirements set forth in
Section 7.05. Section 7.05 shall not be deemed to create a type of benefit (e.g., installment payments, lump sum within five years or immediate lump sum payment) to any class of Participants and Beneficiaries that is not otherwise
permitted by the Plan. Any elections described in Section 7.02(a)(5) and 7.02(c) shall also apply to this Section 7.05.

	Section 7.03	CASH-OUT OF SMALL BALANCES 

 (a) Vested Account Balance Does Not Exceed $5,000.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if involuntary cash-out is selected in the Adoption Agreement and the vested amount of an Account payable to a Participant or Beneficiary does not exceed $5,000 (or such lesser amount specified in the Adoption
Agreement) at the time such individual becomes entitled to a distribution hereunder (or at any subsequent time established by the Plan Administrator to the extent provided in applicable Treasury Regulations), such vested Account shall be paid in a
lump sum to the extent it is not subject to the automatic rollover provisions of Section 7.06(c) below. 
 (b) Vested Account Balance
Exceeds $5,000. If the value of a Participant’s vested Account balance exceeds $5,000 or such lesser amount as specified in the Adoption Agreement, and the Account balance is immediately distributable, the Participant must consent to any
distribution of such Account balance. Notwithstanding the foregoing and unless otherwise specified in the Adoption Agreement, payments shall commence as of the Participants Required Beginning Date in the form of a lump sum or installment payments.
The Participant’s consent shall be obtained in writing within the 180-day period ending on the Annuity Starting Date. The Plan Administrator shall notify the Participant of the right to defer any distribution until the date specified in the
Adoption Agreement. Such notification shall include a general description of the material features, and an explanation of the relative values of, the optional forms of benefit available under the Plan, and shall be provided no less than 30 days and
no more than 180 days prior to the Annuity Starting Date. Except to the extent provided in Section 7.10, distribution may commence less than 30 days after the notice described in the preceding sentence is given, provided the Plan Administrator
clearly informs the Participant that he 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 the
Participant, after receiving the notice, affirmatively elects a distribution. In the event a Participant’s vested Account balance becomes distributable without consent pursuant to this Subsection (b), and the Participant fails to elect a form
of distribution, the vested Account balance of such Participant shall be paid in a single sum except to the extent provided in Section 7.10. 

(c) For purposes of this Section 7.03, the Participant’s vested Account balance shall not include amounts attributable to
accumulated deductible Employee contributions within the meaning of Code section 72(o)(5)(B). 
 (d) Required Distributions and Plan
Termination. Consent of the Participant or his spouse shall not be required to the extent that a distribution is required to satisfy Code sections 401(a)(9) or 415. In addition, upon termination of this Plan the Participant’s Account balance
shall be distributed to the Participant in a lump sum distribution unless payment is made in the form of a Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity pursuant to Section 7.10. However, if the Employer maintains another defined contribution plan
(other than an employee stock ownership plan as defined in Code section 4975(e)(7)), then the Participant’s Account balance will be transferred, without the Participant’s consent, to the other plan if the Participant does not consent to an
immediate distribution. 
 (e) Rollovers (1) Applicability and Effective Date. This Section 7.03(e) shall apply if elected by the Plan
Sponsor in the Adoption Agreement and shall be effective January 1, 2002 unless otherwise specified in the Adoption Agreement. 
 (2)
Treatment of Rollovers. If elected in the Adoption Agreement, Rollovers shall be disregarded in determining the value of the Account balance for involuntary distributions. For purposes of this Section 7.03, the Participant’s vested Account
balance shall not include that portion of the Account balance that is attributable to Rollover Contributions (and earnings allocable thereto) within the meaning of Code sections 402(c), 403(a)(4), 403(b)(8), 408(d)(3)(A)(ii), and 457(e)(16). 

(f) Notice of Right to Defer. Any description of a Participant’s right to defer a distribution under Code section 411(a)(11) must also
include a description of the consequences of failing to defer receipt of the distribution. The Plan will not be treated as failing to meet these notice requirements if the Plan Administrator makes a reasonable attempt to comply with the new
requirements during the period that is within 90 days of the issuance of regulations.

	Section 7.04	BENEFICIARY 

 (a) Beneficiary Designation Right. Each Participant, and if the Participant
has died, the Beneficiary of such Participant, shall have the right to designate one or more primary and one or more secondary Beneficiaries to receive any benefit becoming payable upon such individual’s death. To the extent that a
Participant’s Account is not subject to Section 7.10, the spouse of a married Participant shall be the sole primary Beneficiary of such Participant unless the requirements of Subsection (b) are met. To the extent that a
Participant’s Account is subject to Section 7.10, the spouse of a married Participant shall be the Beneficiary of 100% of such Participant’s Account unless the spouse waives his or her rights to such benefit pursuant to
Section 7.10. All Beneficiary designations shall be in writing in a form satisfactory to the Plan Administrator and shall only be effective when filed with the Plan Administrator during the Participant’s lifetime (or if the Participant has
died, during the lifetime of the Beneficiary of such Participant who desires to designate a further Beneficiary). Except as provided in Section 7.04(b) or Section 7.10, as applicable, each Participant (or Beneficiary) shall be entitled to
change his Beneficiaries at any time and from time to time by filing written notice of such change with the Plan Administrator. 
 (b) Form
and Content of Spouse’s Consent. To the extent that a Participant’s Account is not subject to Section 7.10, the Participant may designate a Beneficiary other than his spouse pursuant to this Subsection if: (i) the spouse has
waived the spouse’s right to be the Participant’s Beneficiary in accordance with this Subsection, (ii) the Participant has no spouse, or (iii) the Plan Administrator determines that the spouse cannot be located or such other
circumstances exist under which spousal consent is not required, as prescribed by Treasury regulations. If required, such consent: (i) shall be in writing, (ii) shall relate only to the specific alternate Beneficiary or beneficiaries
designated (or permits Beneficiary designations by the Participant without the spouse’s further consent), (iii) shall acknowledge the effect of the consent, and (iv) shall be witnessed by a plan representative or notary public. Any
consent by a spouse, or establishment that the consent of a spouse may not be obtained, shall not be effective with respect to any other spouse. Any spousal consent that permits subsequent changes by the Participant to the Beneficiary designation
without the requirement of further spousal consent shall acknowledge that the spouse has the right to limit such consent to a specific Beneficiary, and that the spouse voluntarily elects to relinquish such right. 

(c) In the event that the Participant fails to designate a Beneficiary, or in the event that the Participant is predeceased by all designated
primary and secondary Beneficiaries, the death benefit shall be payable to the Participant’s spouse or, if there is no spouse, if there is no spouse, to the Participant’s children in equal shares or, if there are no children to the
Participant’s estate unless otherwise specified in the Adoption Agreement. 
  

	Section 7.05	MINIMUM DISTRIBUTION REQUIREMENTS 

 (a) General Rules. 

(1) Effective Date. 
 (A) In
General. Subject to Section 7.10, the requirements of this Section shall apply to any distribution of a Participant’s interest and will take precedence over any inconsistent provisions of this Plan. Unless otherwise specified in the
Adoption Agreement, the provisions of this Section apply to calendar years beginning after December 31, 2002. 
 (B) 2009 Waiver of
Requirements. Notwithstanding other provisions of the Plan to the contrary; to the extent provided in the Adoption Agreement and by Code section 401(a)(9), IRS Notice 2009-82 and any superseding guidance, a Participant or Beneficiary who would have
been required to receive 2009 RMDs or Extended 2009 RMDs will receive those distributions for 2009 unless the Participant or Beneficiary chooses not to receive such distributions. Participants and Beneficiaries described in the preceding sentence
will be given the opportunity to elect to stop receiving the distributions described in the preceding sentence. 
 (i) In addition,
notwithstanding other provisions of the Plan to the contrary, and solely for purposes of applying the direct rollover provisions of the Plan, certain additional distributions in 2009, as chosen in the Adoption Agreement, will be treated as eligible
rollover distributions.

 (ii) Definitions: 

(1) “2009 RMDs” are Required Minimum Distributions for 2009 but for the enactment of section 401(a)(9)(H) of the Code; 

(2) “Extended 2009 RMDs” are one or more payments in a series of substantially equal distributions (that include the 2009 RMDs)
made at least annually and expected to last for the life (or life expectancy) of the Participant, the joint lives (or joint life expectancy) of the Participant and the Participant’s designated Beneficiary, or for a period of at least 10 years.

 (2) Construction. All distributions required under this Section shall be determined and made in accordance with the regulations under
Code section 401(a)(9) and the minimum distribution incidental benefit requirement of Code section 401(a)(9)(G). Nothing contained in this Section shall be deemed to create a type of benefit (e.g., installment payments, lump sum within five years or
immediate lump sum payment) to any class of Participants and/or Beneficiaries that is not otherwise permitted by the Plan. 
 (3) Limits on
Distribution Periods. As of the first distribution calendar year, distributions to a Participant, if not made in a single sum, may only be made over one of the following periods: 

(A) the life of the Participant; 

(B) the joint lives of the Participant and a designated Beneficiary; 

(C) a period certain not extending beyond the life expectancy of the Participant; or 

(D) a period certain not extending beyond the joint life and last survivor expectancy of the Participant and a designated Beneficiary. 

(b) Time and Manner of Distribution. 

(1) Required Beginning Date. Unless an earlier date is specified in Section 7.02(b), the Participant’s entire interest will be
distributed, or begin to be distributed, to the Participant no later than the Participant’s Required Beginning Date. 
 (2) Death of
Participant Before Distributions Begin. If the Participant dies before distributions begin, the Participant’s entire interest will be distributed, or begin to be distributed, no later than as follows: 

(A) If the Participant’s surviving spouse is the Participant’s sole designated Beneficiary, then unless an earlier date is
specified in Section 7.02(b), distributions to the surviving spouse will begin by December 31 of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which the Participant died, or by December 31 of the calendar year in which
the Participant would have attained age 70-1/2, if later. 
 (B) If the Participant’s surviving spouse is not the Participant’s
sole designated Beneficiary, then, unless otherwise specified in Section 7.02(b), distributions to the designated Beneficiary will begin by December 31 of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which the Participant
died. 
 (C) If there is no designated Beneficiary as of September 30 of the year following the year of the Participant’s death,
the Participant’s entire interest will be distributed by December 31 of the calendar year containing the fifth anniversary of the Participant’s death unless an earlier date is specified in Section 7.02(b). 

(D) If the Participant’s surviving spouse is the Participant’s sole designated Beneficiary and the surviving spouse dies after the
Participant but before distributions to the surviving spouse are required to begin, this Subsection (b)(2), other than Subsection (b)(2)(A), will apply as if the surviving spouse were the Participant except as otherwise provided in
Section 7.02(b). 
 For purposes of this Subsection (b)(2) and Subsection (d), unless Subsection (b)(2)(D) applies, distributions are
considered to begin on the Participant’s Required Beginning Date. If Subsection (b)(2)(D) applies, distributions are considered to begin on the date distributions are required to begin to the surviving spouse under section

Subsection (b)(2)(A). If distributions under an annuity purchased from an insurance company irrevocably commence to the Participant before the Participant’s Required Beginning Date (or to
the Participant’s surviving spouse before the date distributions are required to begin to the surviving spouse under Subsection (b)(2)(A)), the date distributions are considered to begin is the date distributions actually commence. 

(3) Forms of Distribution. Unless the Participant’s interest is distributed in the form of an annuity purchased from an insurance company
or in a single sum on or before the Required Beginning Date, as of the first distribution calendar year distributions will be made in accordance with Subsections (c) and (d) to the extent otherwise permitted by the Plan. If the
Participant’s interest is distributed in the form of an annuity purchased from an insurance company, distributions thereunder will be made in accordance with the requirements of Code 401(a)(9) and the regulations. 

(c) Required Minimum Distributions During Participant’s Lifetime. 

(1) Amount of Required Minimum Distribution For Each Distribution Calendar Year. During the Participant’s lifetime, the minimum amount
that will be distributed for each distribution calendar year is the lesser of: 
 (A) the quotient obtained by dividing the
Participant’s Account balance by the distribution period in the Uniform Lifetime Table set forth in Treas. Reg. section 1.401(a)(9)-9, Q&A-2 using the Participant’s age as of the Participant’s birthday in the distribution calendar
year; or 
 (B) if the Participant’s sole designated Beneficiary for the distribution calendar year is the Participant’s spouse,
the quotient obtained by dividing the Participant’s Account balance by the number in the Joint and Last Survivor Table set forth in Treas. Reg. section 1.401(a)(9)-9, Q&A-3 using the Participant’s and spouse’s attained ages as of
the Participant’s and spouse’s birthdays in the distribution calendar year. 
 (2) Lifetime Required Minimum Distributions
Continue Through Year of Participant’s Death. Required minimum distributions will be determined under this Subsection (c) beginning with the first distribution calendar year and continuing up to, and including, the distribution calendar
year that includes the Participant’s date of death. 
 (3) The amount of the Required Minimum Distribution shall include the amount
payable under a QLAC that has passed its annuity starting date (as defined in the QLAC). 
 (d) Required Minimum Distributions After
Participant’s Death. 
 (1) Death On or After Date Distributions Begin. 

(A) Participant Survived by Designated Beneficiary. If the Participant dies on or after the date distributions begin and there is a
designated Beneficiary, the minimum amount that will be distributed for each distribution calendar year after the year of the Participant’s death is the quotient obtained by dividing the Participant’s Account balance by the longer of the
remaining life expectancy of the Participant or the remaining life expectancy of the Participant’s designated Beneficiary, determined as follows: 

(i) The Participant’s remaining life expectancy is calculated using the age of the Participant in the year of death, reduced by one for
each subsequent year. 
 (ii) If the Participant’s surviving spouse is the Participant’s sole designated Beneficiary, the
remaining life expectancy of the surviving spouse is calculated for each distribution calendar year after the year of the Participant’s death using the surviving spouse’s age as of the spouse’s birthday in that year. For distribution
calendar years after the year of the surviving spouse’s death, the remaining life expectancy of the surviving spouse is calculated using the age of the surviving spouse as of the spouse’s birthday in the calendar year of the spouse’s
death, reduced by one for each subsequent calendar year. 
 (iii) If the Participant’s surviving spouse is not the Participant’s
sole designated Beneficiary, the designated Beneficiary’s remaining life expectancy is calculated using the age of the Beneficiary in the year following the year of the Participant’s death, reduced by one for each subsequent year.

 (B) No Designated Beneficiary. If the Participant dies on or after the date distributions
begin and there is no designated Beneficiary as of the September 30 of the year after the year of the Participant’s death, the minimum amount that will be distributed for each distribution calendar year after the year of the
Participant’s death is the quotient obtained by dividing the Participant’s Account balance by the Participant’s remaining life expectancy calculated using the age of the Participant in the year of death, reduced by one for each
subsequent year. 
 (2) Death Before Date Distributions Begin. 

(A) Participant Survived by Designated Beneficiary. If the Participant dies before the date distributions begin and there is a designated
Beneficiary, the minimum amount that will be distributed for each distribution calendar year after the year of the Participant’s death is the quotient obtained by dividing the Participant’s Account balance by the remaining life expectancy
of the Participant’s designated Beneficiary, determined as provided in Subsection (d)(1). 
 (B) No Designated Beneficiary. If the
Participant dies before the date distributions begin and there is no designated Beneficiary as of September 30 of the year following the year of the Participant’s death, distribution of the Participant’s entire interest will be
completed by December 31 of the calendar year containing the fifth anniversary of the Participant’s death. 
 (C) Death of
Surviving Spouse Before Distributions to Surviving Spouse Are Required to Begin. If the Participant dies before the date distributions begin, the Participant’s surviving spouse is the Participant’s sole designated Beneficiary, and the
surviving spouse dies before distributions are required to begin to the surviving spouse under Subsection (b)(2)(i), this Subsection (d)(2) will apply as if the surviving spouse were the Participant. 

(e) Definitions. 
 (1)
Designated Beneficiary. The individual who is designated by the Participant (or the Participant’s surviving spouse) as the Beneficiary of the Participant’s interest under the Plan and who is the designated Beneficiary under Code section
401(a)(9) and Treas. Reg. section 1.401(a)(9)-4. 
 (2) Distribution Calendar Year. A calendar year for which a minimum distribution is
required. For distributions beginning before the Participant’s death, the first distribution calendar year is the calendar year immediately preceding the calendar year which contains the Participant’s Required Beginning Date. For
distributions beginning after the Participant’s death, the first distribution calendar year is the calendar year in which distributions are required to begin under Subsection (b)(2). The required minimum distribution for the Participant’s
first distribution calendar year will be made on or before the Participant’s Required Beginning Date. The required minimum distribution for other distribution calendar years, including the required minimum distribution for the distribution
calendar year in which the Participant’s Required Beginning Date occurs, will be made on or before December 31 of that distribution calendar year. 

(3) Life expectancy. Life expectancy is computed by use of the Single Life Table in Treas. Reg. section 1.401(a)(9)-9, Q&A-1. 

(4) Participant’s Account Balance. The Account balance as of the last Valuation Date in the calendar year immediately preceding the
distribution calendar year (valuation calendar year) increased by the amount of any contributions made and allocated or forfeitures allocated to the Account as of dates in the valuation calendar year after the Valuation Date and decreased by
(1) distributions made in the valuation calendar year after the Valuation Date and (2) any amount held in a QLAC that has not reached its annuity starting date (as defined in the QLAC). The Account balance for the valuation calendar year
includes any amounts rolled over or transferred to the Plan either in the valuation calendar year or in the distribution calendar year if distributed or transferred in the valuation calendar year. 

(f) TEFRA Section 242(b)(2) Elections. 

(1) Notwithstanding the other requirements of this Section and subject to the requirements of Section 7.10, distribution on behalf of any
employee, including a More than 5% Owner, who has made a designation under section 242(b)(2) of the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act (a “section 242(b)(2) election”) may be made in accordance with all of the following requirements

Employee whose interest in the Plan is being distributed or, if the Employee is deceased, by a Beneficiary of such Employee. 
 (C) Such
designation was in writing, was signed by the Employee or the Beneficiary, and was made before January 1, 1984. 
 (D) The Employee
had accrued a benefit under the Plan as of December 31, 1983. 
 (E) The method of distribution designated by the Employee or the
Beneficiary specifies the time at which distribution will commence, the period over which distributions will be made, and in the case of any distribution upon the Employee’s death, the Beneficiaries of the Employee listed in order of priority.

 (2) A distribution upon death will not be covered by this transitional rule unless the information in the designation contains the
required information described above with respect to the distributions to be made upon the death of the Employee. 
 (3) For any
distribution which commences before January 1, 1984, but continues after December 31, 1983, the Employee, or the Beneficiary, to whom such distribution is being made, will be presumed to have designated the method of distribution under
which the distribution is being made if the method of distribution was specified in writing and the distribution satisfies the requirements in Subsections (f)(1)(A) and (E). 

(4) If a designation is revoked, any subsequent distribution must satisfy the requirements of Code section 401(a)(9) and the regulations
thereunder. If a designation is revoked subsequent to the date distributions are required to begin, the Plan must distribute by the end of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the revocation occurs the total amount not yet
distributed which would have been required to have been distributed to satisfy Code section 401(a)(9) and the regulations thereunder, but for the section 242(b)(2) election. For calendar years beginning after December 31, 1988, such
distributions must meet the minimum distribution incidental benefit requirements. Any changes in the designation will be considered to be a revocation of the designation. However, the mere substitution or addition of another Beneficiary (one not
named in the designation) under the designation will not be considered to be a revocation of the designation, so long as such substitution or addition does not alter the period over which distributions are to be made under the designation, directly
or indirectly (for example, by altering the relevant measuring life). 
 (5) In the case in which an amount is transferred or rolled over
from one plan to another plan, the rules in Treas. Reg. section 1.401(a)(9)-8, Q&A-14 and Q&A-15, shall apply. 
 (g) Application of
Five Year Rule. 
 (1) To the extent permitted in Section 7.02(b), if the Participant dies before distributions are required to begin
and there is a designated Beneficiary, distributions to the designated Beneficiary are not required to begin by the date specified in Subsection (b)(2), but the Participant’s entire interest may be distributed to the designated Beneficiary by
December 31 of the calendar year containing the fifth anniversary of the Participant’s death. If the Participant’s surviving spouse is the Participant’s sole designated Beneficiary and the surviving spouse dies after the
Participant but before distributions to either the Participant or the surviving spouse begin, this election will apply as if the surviving spouse were the Participant. 

(2) To the extent permitted in Section 7.02(b), Participants or beneficiaries may elect on an individual basis whether the 5-year rule or
the life expectancy rule in Subsections (b)(2) and (d)(2) applies to distributions after the death of a Participant who has a designated Beneficiary. The election must be made no later than the earlier of September 30 of the calendar year in
which distributions would be required to begin under Subsections (b)(2), or by September 30 of the calendar year which contains the fifth anniversary of the Participant’s (or, if applicable, surviving spouse’s) death. If neither the
Participant nor Beneficiary makes an election under this paragraph, distributions will be made in accordance with Subsections (b)(2), (d)(2) and (h)(1).

	Section 7.06	DIRECT ROLLOVERS 

 (a) In General. This Section applies to distributions made after
December 31, 2001. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary that would otherwise limit a distributee’s election under this part, a distributee may elect, at the time and in the manner prescribed by the Plan Administrator,
to have any portion of an eligible rollover distribution that is equal to at least $200 (or such lesser amount as determined by the Plan Administrator in a nondiscriminatory manner) paid directly to an eligible retirement plan specified by the
distributee in a direct rollover. If an eligible rollover distribution is less than $500 (or such lesser amount as determined by the Plan Administrator in a nondiscriminatory manner), a distributee may not make the election described in the
preceding sentence to roll over a portion of the eligible rollover distribution. This Paragraph shall be subject to Code sections 401(a)(31) and 402(f); Treas. Reg. sections 1.401(a)(31)-1, 1.402(c)-2; and IRS Notices 2005-5, 2008-30, 2009-69, and
2009-75. 
 (b) Definitions. 

(1) Eligible Rollover Distribution. An eligible rollover distribution is any distribution of all or any portion of the balance to the credit
of the distributee, except that an eligible rollover distribution does not include: any distribution that is one of a series of substantially equal periodic payments (not less frequently than annually) made for the life (or life expectancy) of the
distributee or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the distributee and the distributee’s designated Beneficiary, or for a specified period of ten years or more; any distribution to the extent such distribution is required under Code
section 401(a)(9); any hardship distribution; the portion of any other distribution(s) that is not includible in gross income (determined without regard to the exclusion for net unrealized appreciation with respect to employer securities); and any
other distribution(s) that is reasonably expected to total less than $200 during a year. 
 A portion of a distribution shall not fail to
be an eligible rollover distribution merely because the portion consists of after-tax employee contributions which are not includible in gross income. However, such portion may be transferred only to an individual retirement account or annuity
described in Code section 408(a) or (b), or to a qualified defined contribution plan described in Code section 401(a) or 403(a) that agrees to separately account for amounts so transferred, including separately accounting for the portion of such
distribution which is includible in gross income and the portion of such distribution which is not so includible. 
 (2) Eligible Retirement
Plan. An eligible retirement plan is an eligible plan under Code section 457(b) which is maintained by a state, political subdivision of a state, or any agency or instrumentality of a state or political subdivision of a state and which agrees to
separately account for amounts transferred into such plan from this Plan, an individual retirement account described in Code section 408(a), individual retirement annuity described in Code section 408(b), an annuity plan described in Code section
403(a), an annuity contract described in Code section 403(b), or a qualified plan described in Code section 401(a), that accepts the distributee’s eligible rollover distribution. The definition of eligible retirement plan shall also apply in
the case of a distribution to a surviving spouse, or to a spouse or former spouse who is the Alternate Payee under a Qualified Domestic Relations Order, as defined in Code section 414(p). 

If any portion of an eligible rollover distribution is attributable to payments or distributions from a Roth Elective Deferral Account, an
eligible retirement plan shall only include another Roth elective deferral account under an applicable retirement plan described in Code section 402A(e)(1) or to a Roth IRA described in Code section 408A and only to the extent the rollover is
permitted under the rules of Code section 402(c). The Plan will not provide for a direct rollover (including an automatic rollover) for distributions from a Participant’s Roth Elective Deferral Account if the amount of the distributions that
are eligible rollover distributions are reasonably expected to total less than $200 during a year. In addition, any distribution from a Participant’s Roth Elective Deferral Account is not taken into account in determining whether distributions
from a Participant’s other Accounts are reasonably expected to total less than $200 during a year. The provisions of this Section that allow a Participant to elect a direct rollover of only a portion of an eligible rollover distribution but
only if the amount rolled over is at least $500 are applied by treating any amount distributed from the Participant’s Roth Elective Deferral Account as a separate distribution from any amount distributed from the Participant’s other
Accounts in the Plan, even if the amounts are distributed at the same time. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, effective for distributions
made after December 31, 2007, a Participant may roll over a distribution from the Plan to a Roth IRA provided that the amount rolled over is an eligible rollover distribution (as defined in Code section 402(c)(4)) and, pursuant to Code section
408A(d)(3)(A), there is included in gross income any amount that would be includible if the distribution were not rolled over.

 ARTICLE 7 DISTRIBUTIONS 

 

 Notwithstanding the foregoing, effective January 1, 2007, a non-spouse Beneficiary who
is a designated Beneficiary within the meaning of Code section 401(a)(9)(E) may, after the death of the Participant, make a direct rollover of a distribution to an IRA established on behalf of the designated Beneficiary; provided that the
distributed amount satisfies all the requirements to be an eligible rollover distribution other than the requirement that the distribution be made to the Participant or the Participant’s spouse. Such direct rollovers shall be subject to the
terms and conditions of IRS Notice 2007-7 and superseding guidance, including but not limited to the provision in Q&A-17 regarding required minimum distributions. Effective January 1, 2010, the distributions described in this paragraph
shall be subject to Code sections 401(a)(31), 402(f) and 3405(c). 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, effective for taxable years beginning
on or after January 1, 2007, a portion of a distribution shall not fail to be an eligible rollover distribution merely because such portion consists of amounts which are not includible in gross income. However, such portion may be transferred
as a direct rollover only to a qualified trust or to an annuity contract described in Code section 403(b) that agrees to separately account for amounts so transferred, including separately accounting for the portion of such distribution which is
includible in gross income and the portion of such distribution which is not so includible. 
 (3) Distributee. A distributee includes an
employee or former employee. In addition, the employee’s or former employee’s surviving spouse and the employee’s or former employee’s spouse or former spouse who is the alternate payee under a qualified domestic relations order,
as defined in Code section 414(p), are distributees with regard to the interest of the spouse or former spouse. 
 (4) Direct Rollover. A
direct rollover is a payment by the Plan to the eligible retirement plan specified by the distributee. 
 (c) Automatic Rollovers. In the
event of a mandatory distribution greater than $1,000 (or such lesser amount as determined by the Plan Administrator in a nondiscriminatory manner) in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.03(a), if the Participant does not elect to have
such distribution paid directly to an eligible retirement plan specified by the Participant in a direct rollover or to receive the distribution directly in accordance with Section 7.02, then the Plan Administrator will pay the distribution in a
direct rollover to an individual retirement plan designated by the Plan Administrator. Unless otherwise elected in the Adoption Agreement, for purposes of determining whether a mandatory distribution is greater than $1,000, the portion of the
Participant’s distribution attributable to any Rollover Contribution is included. Eligible rollover distributions from a Participant’s Roth Elective Deferral Account are separately taken into account in determining whether the total amount
of the Participant’s Account balances under the Plan exceeds $1,000 for purposes of mandatory distributions from the Plan. 
 (d)
Special Rule for S Corporations. The Plan may permit a direct rollover of the distribution of S Corporation stock to an IRA, provided that: 

(1) The S Corporation shall repurchase the stock immediately upon the Plan’s distribution of the stock to an IRA; 

(2) Either: (i) the S Corporation must repurchase the S Corporation stock contemporaneously with, and effective on the same day as, the
distribution, or (ii) the Plan may assume the rights and obligations of the S Corporation to repurchase the S Corporation stock immediately upon the Plan’s distribution of the stock to an IRA and the Plan repurchases the S Corporation
stock contemporaneously with, and effective on the same day as, the distribution; 
 (3) No income (including tax-exempt income), loss,
deduction, or credit attributable to the distributed S Corporation stock under Code section 1366 shall be allocated to the Participant’s IRA. 
  

	Section 7.07	MINOR OR LEGALLY INCOMPETENT PAYEE 

 If a distribution is to be made to an individual who
is either a minor or legally incompetent, the Plan Administrator may direct that such distribution be paid to the legal guardian. If a distribution is to be made to such person and there is no 

  

					
		 	41	  	Copyright © 2002-2016










 ARTICLE 7 DISTRIBUTIONS 

 

 
legal guardian, the Plan Administrator may direct that payment be made to: (a) a parent, (b) a person holding a power of attorney; (c) a person authorized to act on behalf of such
person under state law, or (d) the custodian for such person under the Uniform Transfer to Minors Act, if such is permitted by the laws of the state in which such minor resides. Such payment shall fully discharge the Trustee, Plan
Administrator, Trust Fund, and the Employer from further liability on account thereof. 
  

	Section 7.08	MISSING PAYEE 

 If all or any portion of the distribution payable to a Participant or
Beneficiary remains unpaid because the Plan Administrator has been unable to ascertain the whereabouts of the Participant or Beneficiary after making reasonable efforts to contact the Participant or Beneficiary (which may include, but not be limited
to, sending a registered letter, return receipt requested, to the last known address of such Participant or Beneficiary; and/or a commercial locating service) the Plan Administrator may use a reasonable method to remove the assets from the Plan that
is consistent with ERISA and the Code. Such methods may include, but not be limited to, (a) creating an individual retirement plan designated by the Plan Administrator; or (b) if, for a period of more than five years after such
distribution becomes payable or six months after all attempts to locate the Participant or Beneficiary, the Plan Administrator is still unable to ascertain the whereabouts of the Participant or Beneficiary, the amount so distributable may be treated
as a forfeiture under Article 6 hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a claim is subsequently made by the Participant or Beneficiary for the forfeited benefit pursuant to clause (b) of the preceding sentence, such benefit shall be
reinstated without any credit or deduction for earnings and losses. Amounts forfeited from a Participant’s Account under this Section shall be used pursuant to Section 6.03(d). 

 

	Section 7.09	DISTRIBUTIONS UPON TERMINATION OF PLAN 

 Except as provided in Section 7.10, a
Participant may receive the balance of his Account in a lump sum payment upon termination of the Plan without the establishment of alternative defined contribution plan (as described in Treas. Reg. section 1.401(k)-1(d)(4)) other than an employee
stock ownership plan (as defined in Code section 4975(e) or Code section 409), a simplified employee pension plan (as defined in Code section 408(k)), a SIMPLE IRA Plan (defined in Code section 408(p)), a plan or contract that satisfies the
requirements of Code section 403(b), or a plan that is described in Code section 457(b) or (f). 
  

	Section 7.10	JOINT AND SURVIVOR ANNUITIES 

 (a) Application. Notwithstanding any provision to the
contrary, this Section shall apply: (i) if a Participant elects benefits in the form of any annuity; or (ii) to the portion of the Participant’s Transfer Account attributable to funds subject to the survivor annuity requirements of
Code section 401(a)(11) and section 417 that were transferred from another plan (or to such other Accounts if the amounts subject to such survivor annuities and were not separately accounted for). This Section shall only apply if the
Participant’s Account exceeds $5,000 (or such lesser amount specified in the Adoption Agreement) at the time such individual becomes entitled to a distribution hereunder (or at any subsequent time established by the Plan Administrator to the
extent provided in applicable Treasury regulations). Effective January 1, 2002 unless otherwise specified in the Adoption Agreement and if elected by the Plan Sponsor in the Adoption Agreement, for purposes of this Section 7.10(a), the
Participant’s vested Account balance shall not include that portion of the Account balance that is attributable to rollover contributions (and earnings allocable thereto) within the meaning of Code sections 402(c), 403(a)(4), 403(b)(8),
408(d)(3)(A)(ii), and 457(e)(16). 
 (b) Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity. Unless otherwise elected pursuant to Subsection
(d) below, a Participant’s vested Account balance, to the extent provided in Subsection (a) above, will be paid to him by the purchase and delivery of an annuity in the form of a Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity. Effective for
Annuity Starting Dates in Plan Years beginning after December 31, 2007, to the extent that the Plan must offer a Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity, the Plan shall also offer a Qualified Optional Survivor Annuity as another optional form of
benefit. 
 A Participant may waive the Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity during a period that begins on the first day of the 180-day
period ending on the Annuity Starting Date and ends on the later of the Annuity Starting Date or the 30th day after the Plan Administrator provides the Participant with a written explanation of the Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity. The Plan
Administrator shall no less than 30 days and no more than 180 days prior to the Annuity Starting Date provide each Participant a written explanation of: (i) the terms and conditions of a Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity;

 ARTICLE 7 DISTRIBUTIONS 

 

 
(ii) the Participant’s right to make and the effect of an election to waive the Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity form of benefit; (iii) the rights of a Participant’s spouse;
and (iv) the right to make, and the effect of, a revocation of a previous election to waive the Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity; and (v) the relative values of the various optional forms of benefits under the Plan pursuant to Treas.
Reg. section 1.417(a)(3)-1(c)(2). 
 The Annuity Starting Date for a distribution in a form other than a Qualified Joint and Survivor
Annuity may be less than 30 days after receipt of the written explanation described in the preceding paragraph provided: (i) the Participant has been provided with information that clearly indicates that the Participant has at least 30 days to
consider whether to waive the Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity and elect (with spousal consent) to a form of distribution other than a Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity; (ii) the Participant is permitted to revoke any affirmative
distribution election at least until the Annuity Starting Date or, if later, at any time prior to the expiration of the 7-day period that begins the day after the explanation of the Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity is provided to the
Participant; and (iii) the Annuity Starting Date is a date after the date that the written explanation was provided to the Participant. 

(c) Qualified Preretirement Survivor Annuity. Unless otherwise elected within the applicable election period and to the extent provided in
Subsection (a) above, if a Participant dies before the Annuity Starting Date then at least 50% of the Participant’s vested Account balance shall be applied toward the purchase of an annuity for the life of the surviving spouse which shall
be distributed to the spouse. The surviving spouse may direct the commencement of payments under the qualified preretirement survivor annuity within a reasonable time after the Participant’s death. The terms of such annuity contract shall
comply with the provisions of this Plan and the annuity contract shall be nontransferable. The applicable election period shall be the period which begins on the first day of the Plan Year in which the Participant attains age 35 and ends on the date
of the Participant’s death. If a Participant separates from service prior to the first day of the Plan Year in which he attains age 35, the election period shall begin on the date of separation. A Participant who has not yet attained age 35 may
waive the annuity specified in this Subsection (c) provided that (1) the Participant receives a written explanation pursuant to the following paragraph and (2) such election is not effective as of the first day of the Plan Year in
which the Participant attains age 35. Any new waiver on or after such date shall be subject to the full requirements of this Subsection. Notwithstanding anything in this Section to the contrary, the surviving spouse may elect, in writing, to have
the Account balance be distributed pursuant to Section 7.02(b). 
 The Plan Administrator shall provide each Participant within the
applicable period for such Participant a written explanation of the annuity described in this Subsection (c) in such terms and in such manner as would be comparable to the explanation provided for meeting the requirements of Subsection
(b) applicable to a Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity. The applicable period for a Participant is whichever of the following periods ends last: (i) the period beginning with the first day of the Plan Year in which the Participant
attains age 32 and ending with the close of the Plan Year preceding the Plan Year in which the Participant attains age 35; (ii) a reasonable period ending after the individual becomes a Participant; or (iii) within a reasonable period
ending after Termination of Employment in the case of a Participant who separates from service before attaining age 35. 
 For purposes of
applying the preceding paragraph, a reasonable period ending after the enumerated events described in (ii) and (iii) is the end of the two-year period beginning one year prior to the date the applicable event occurs, and ending one year
after that date. If a Participant who separates from service before the Plan Year in which he attains age 35 thereafter returns to employment with the Employer, the applicable period for such Participant shall be redetermined. 

(d) Elections. Any waiver of the annuities described in Subsections (b) and (c) above shall not be effective unless: (i) the
Participant’s spouse consents in writing to the election; (ii) the election designates a specific Beneficiary, including any class of beneficiaries or any contingent beneficiaries, which may not be changed without spousal consent (or the
spouse expressly permits designations by the Participant without any further spousal consent); (iii) the spouse’s consent acknowledges the effect of the election; and (iv) the spouse’s consent is witnessed by a plan
representative or notary public. Additionally, a Participant’s waiver of the Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity shall not be effective unless the election designates a form of benefit payment which may not be changed without spousal consent
(or the spouse expressly permits designations by the Participant without any further spousal consent). If it is established to the satisfaction of a plan representative that there is no spouse (within the meaning of Code section 417) or that the
spouse cannot be located, a waiver will be deemed a qualified election. Any consent by a spouse obtained under this provision (or establishment that the consent of a spouse may not be obtained) shall be effective only with respect to such spouse. A
consent that permits designations by the Participant without any requirement of further consent by such spouse must acknowledge that the spouse has the right to limit consent to a specific Beneficiary, and a specific form of benefit where
applicable, and that the

spouse voluntarily elects to relinquish either or both such rights. A revocation of a prior waiver may be made by a Participant without the consent of the spouse at any time before the
commencement of benefits. The number of revocations shall not be limited. No consent obtained under this provision shall be valid unless the Participant has received notice as provided in Subsections (b) and (c). 

Any consent by a spouse obtained under this provision (or establishment that the consent of a spouse may not be obtained) shall be effective
only with respect to such spouse. A consent that permits designations by the Participant without any requirement of further consent by such spouse must acknowledge that the spouse has the right to limit consent to a specific Beneficiary, and a
specific form of benefit where applicable, and that the spouse voluntarily elects to relinquish either or both such rights. A revocation of a prior waiver may be made by a Participant without the consent of the spouse at any time before the
commencement of benefits. The number of revocations shall not be limited. No consent obtained under this provision shall be valid unless the Participant has received notice as provided in Subsections (b) and (c). 

For purposes of determining a Participant’s spouse, the Plan Administrator shall apply the one-year rule in Code section 417(d), Treas.
Reg. section 1.401(a)-20 to the extent selected in the Adoption Agreement. 
 (f) Deferred Annuity Contracts. In determining whether and/or
how the Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity and the Qualified Preretirement Survivor Annuity rules described in Code sections 401(a)(11) and 417 apply to a deferred annuity contract purchased under the Plan, the provisions of Internal Revenue
Service Revenue Ruling 2012-3 and any superseding guidance shall apply. 
 ARTICLE 8 IN-SERVICE DISTRIBUTIONS AND LOANS 

 

	Section 8.01	HARDSHIP 

 (a) Hardship. A Participant may receive a distribution on account of hardship
from the Accounts specified in the Adoption Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary if the Adoption Agreement permits a hardship distribution from an Account, the amount available for a hardship distribution from such Account
shall include any amounts grandfathered under Treas. Reg. section 1.401(k)-1(d)(3)(ii)(B). Unless otherwise specified in the Adoption Agreement, a Participant shall only be permitted to receive a hardship distribution pursuant to this
Section 8.01 from Accounts that are fully (100%) vested. 
 (b) Hardship - Safe Harbor. If the Adoption Agreement provides that
the Plan has adopted safe harbor criteria for Hardship withdrawal, the following shall apply: 
 (1) Immediate and Heavy Financial Need. A
hardship distribution shall only be made upon the finding by the Plan Administrator of an immediate and heavy financial need where such Participant lacks other available resources. The following are the only financial needs considered immediate and
heavy: 
 (A) Expenses for (or necessary to obtain) medical care that would be deductible under Code section 213(d) (determined without
regard to whether the expenses exceed 7.5% of adjusted gross income) for the Employee, or the Employee’s spouse, children, or dependents (as defined in Code section 152, and, for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2005, without
regard to Code section 152(b)(1), (b)(2) and (d)(1)(B)); 
 (B) Costs directly related to the purchase of a principal residence for the
Employee (excluding mortgage payments); 
 (C) Payment of tuition, related educational fees, and room and board expenses, for up to the
next 12 months of post-secondary education for the Employee, or the Employee’s spouse, children, or dependents (as defined in Code section 152, and, for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2005, without regard to Code section
152(b)(1), (b)(2) and (d)(1)(B)); 
 (D) Payments necessary to prevent the eviction of the Employee from the Employee’s principal
residence or foreclosure on the mortgage on that residence;

 ARTICLE 8 IN-SERVICE DISTRIBUTIONS AND LOANS 

 

 (E) Payments for burial or funeral expenses for the employee’s deceased parent, spouse,
children or dependents (as defined in Code section 152, and, for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2005, without regard to Code section 152(d)(1)(B)); 

(F) Expenses for the repair of damage to the employee’s principal residence that would qualify for the casualty deduction under Code
section 165 (determined without regard to whether the loss exceeds 10% of adjusted gross income); and 
 (G) Other expenses as provided by
the Commissioner as specified in Treas. Reg. section 1.401(k)-1(d)(3)(v). 
 (2) Amount Necessary to Satisfy Need. A distribution will be
considered as necessary to satisfy an immediate and heavy financial need of the Participant only if: 
 (A) The distribution is not in
excess of the amount of the immediate and heavy financial need (including amounts necessary to pay any federal, state or local income taxes or penalties reasonably anticipated to result from the distribution); 

(B) The Participant has obtained all distributions, other than hardship distributions, and all nontaxable loans under all plans maintained by
the Employer; and 
 (C) All plans maintained by the Employer provide that the Participant’s Elective Deferrals (and after tax
contributions) will be suspended for 6 months (12 months, for hardship distributions before 2002) after the receipt of the hardship distribution; and 

(c) Hardship - Non Safe Harbor. If the Adoption Agreement provides that the Plan has adopted the non-safe harbor criteria for hardship for
permitted Accounts, the following shall apply: 
 (1) Immediate and Heavy Financial Need. A hardship distribution shall only be made upon
the finding by the Plan Administrator of an immediate and heavy financial need where such Participant lacks other available resources. Whether a Participant has an immediate and heavy financial need is to be determined based on all relevant facts
and circumstances. The need to pay the funeral expenses of a family member would constitute an immediate and heavy financial need and a distribution made to a Participant for the purchase of a boat or television would not constitute a distribution
made on account of an immediate and heavy financial need. A financial need may be immediate and heavy even if it was reasonably foreseeable or voluntarily incurred by the Participant. 

(2) Amount Necessary to Satisfy Need. A distribution is not treated as necessary to satisfy an immediate and heavy financial need of a
Participant to the extent the amount of the distribution is in excess of the amount required to relieve the financial need or to the extent the need may be satisfied from other resources that are reasonably available to the Participant. This
determination generally is to be made on the basis of all relevant facts and circumstances. For purposes of this Subsection, the Participant’s resources are deemed to include those assets of the Participant’s spouse and minor children that
are reasonably available to the Participant. A vacation home jointly owned (regardless of the nature of legal title) by the Participant and the Participant’s spouse will be deemed a resource of the Participant. However, property held for the
Participant’s child under an irrevocable trust or under the Uniform Gifts to Minors Act is not treated as a resource of the Participant. The amount of an immediate and heavy financial need may include any amounts necessary to pay any federal,
state, or local income taxes or penalties reasonably anticipated to result from the distribution. A distribution generally may be treated as necessary to satisfy a financial need if the Employer relies upon the Participant’s written
representation, unless the Employer has actual knowledge to the contrary, that the need cannot reasonably be relieved: 
 (A) Through
reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise; 
 (B) By liquidation of the Participant’s assets; 

(C) By cessation of all Participant contributions under the Plan;

 ARTICLE 8 IN-SERVICE DISTRIBUTIONS AND LOANS 

 

 (D) By other currently available distributions (including distribution of ESOP dividends
under Code section 404(k)) and nontaxable (at the time of the loan) loans, under plans maintained by the Employer or by any other employer; or 

(E) By borrowing from commercial sources on reasonable commercial terms in an amount sufficient to satisfy the need. 

For purposes of this Subsection, a need cannot reasonably be relieved by one of the actions listed above if the effect would be to increase
the amount of the need. For example, the need for funds to purchase a principal residence cannot reasonably be relieved by a Plan loan if the loan would disqualify the Employee from obtaining other necessary financing. 

 

	Section 8.02	SPECIFIED AGE 

 A Participant may receive a distribution on attainment of a specified
age from the Accounts specified in the Adoption Agreement. Unless otherwise specified in the Adoption Agreement, a Participant shall only be permitted to receive a specified age distribution pursuant to this Section 8.02 from Accounts that are
fully (100%) vested. 
  

	Section 8.03	OTHER WITHDRAWALS 

 (a) After a Period Certain. To the extent provided in the Adoption
Agreement, a Participant may receive a distribution from his Non-Elective Contribution Account which has accumulated for at least twenty-four (24) months. However, an individual who has been a Participant for five (5) or more Plan Years
shall be entitled to receive a distribution of his Non-Elective Contribution Account regardless of the length of time the funds have accumulated. Unless otherwise specified in the Adoption Agreement, a Participant shall only be permitted to receive
a distribution pursuant to this Section 8.03(a) from Accounts that are fully vested. 
 (b) At Any Time. To the extent provided in the

 ARTICLE 8 IN-SERVICE DISTRIBUTIONS AND LOANS 

 

 (e) Ordering Rule. The Plan Administrator shall determine the ordering rule for in-service
distributions. Such ordering rule may provide that the Participant may elect to have payments made any combination of such accounts and any other Account. 

(f) Transfer Account. A Participant may receive a distribution from the vested portion of his Transfer Account only to the extent such account
was not transferred from a qualified plan subject to Code section 412, to the extent Section 8.04 applies or to the extent the Adoption Agreement permits distributions to be made to a Participant who has attained age 62 and who has not
separated from employment. 
 (g) Spousal Consent. If Section 7.10 applies to the Account distributed a Participant must obtain the
consent of his or her spouse, if any, to obtain an Account balance as an in-service distribution. Spousal consent shall be obtained no earlier than the beginning of the 180-day period that ends on the date on which the in-service distribution is to
be so secured. The consent must be in writing, must acknowledge the effect of the in-service distribution, and must be witnessed by a Plan representative or notary public. Such consent shall thereafter be binding with respect to the consenting
spouse or any subsequent spouse with respect to that in-service distribution. 
  

	Section 8.06	LOANS 

 (a) Eligible Participants. To the extent provided in the Adoption Agreement, a
Participant may apply for a loan from the Plan and the provisions of Code section 72(p) and Treas. Reg. section 1.72(p)-1 shall apply to the Plan and are hereby incorporated by reference. The Plan Administrator may provide that a loan may only be
granted for the purpose of enabling the Participant to meet a financial hardship or an unusual or special situation in his financial affairs. Loans shall only be granted pursuant to the terms of this Section to persons who the Plan Administrator
determines have the ability to repay the loan. Loans shall not be made available to Participants who are or were Highly Compensated Employees in an amount greater than the amount available to other Participants. Loans shall be made available to all
Participants on a nondiscriminatory and reasonably equivalent basis. 
 (b) Maximum Loan Amount. Unless otherwise provided in the Adoption
Agreement, loans shall not be made from an ESOP Account. No loan to any Participant can be made to the extent that such loan when added to the outstanding balance of all other loans to the Participant would exceed the lesser of: 

(1) $50,000 reduced by the excess (if any) of the highest outstanding balance of loans during the one year period ending on the day before the
loan is made, over the outstanding balance of loans from the Plan on the date the loan is made; or 
 (2) one-half the present value of the
vested Account balance of the Participant or, if greater and so provided in the Adoption Agreement, the total vested Account balance up to $10,000; provided that additional security is given to the extent such loan exceeds 50% of the vested Account
balance. 
 For the purpose of the above limitation, all loans from all qualified plans of the Employer are aggregated. 

(c) Loan Term and Amortization. Any loan shall by its terms require that repayment (principal and interest) be amortized in level payments,
not less frequently than quarterly, over a period not extending beyond five years from the date of the loan. If so provided in the Adoption Agreement, a loan term may extend beyond five years if the loan is used to acquire a dwelling unit which
within a reasonable time (determined at the time the loan is made) will be used as the principal residence of the Participant. 
 (d)
Minimum Loan Amount - Maximum Number of Loans. The Adoption Agreement shall specify a minimum loan amount and the maximum number of loans outstanding at any one time. 

(e) Interest Rate. Interest shall be charged at a rate to be fixed by the Plan Administrator and, in determining the interest rate, the Plan
Administrator shall take into consideration interest rates currently being charged on similar commercial loans by persons in the business of lending money. 

(f) Security. All loans shall be secured by no more than one-half of the vested portion of the Participant’s Accounts (determined
immediately after the origination of the loan) and such additional security as the Plan Administrator may deem necessary. All loans made to Participants under this Section are to be considered Trust Fund investments and shall be segregated for
purposes of Article 9 hereof unless provided otherwise in the Adoption Agreement.

 ARTICLE 8 IN-SERVICE DISTRIBUTIONS AND LOANS 

 

 (g) Repayment. Loans shall be repaid in accordance with the foregoing and the Plan
Administrator may require as a condition to granting such loan that it be repaid through payroll deductions. Unless the loan note provides otherwise, the principal amount of the loan and accrued interest shall become immediately due and payable upon
a Termination of Employment. Repayment may be suspended pursuant to Code section 414(u). 
 (h) Loan Fees. Fees properly chargeable in
connection with a loan may be charged, in accordance with a uniform and nondiscriminatory policy established by the Plan Administrator, against the Account of the Participant to whom the loan is granted. 

(i) Default. In the event of default, foreclosure on the note and attachment of security shall not occur until a distributable event occurs in
the Plan. 
 (j) Loans to Self-Employed Persons. For Plan loans made before January 1, 2002, no loans will be made to any
shareholder-employee or owner-employee. For purposes of this requirement, a shareholder-employee means an employee or officer of an electing small business (Subchapter S) corporation who owns (or is considered as owning within the meaning of Code
section 318(a)(1), on any day during the taxable year of such corporation, more than 5% of the outstanding stock of the corporation. An owner-employee means, if the Employer is a sole proprietorship, an individual who is the sole proprietor, or, if
the Employer is a partnership, a partner owning more than 10% of either the capital or profits interest of the partnership. 
 (k) Loan
Procedures. The Plan Administrator is authorized to adopt any administrative rules or procedures that it deems necessary or appropriate with respect to the granting and administering of loans under this Article 8. 

(l) Spousal Consent. If Section 7.10 applies or if so provided in the Adoption Agreement, a Participant must obtain the consent of his or
her spouse, if any, to use the Account balance as security for a loan. Spousal consent shall be obtained no earlier than the beginning of the 180-day period that ends on the date on which the loan is to be so secured. The consent must be in writing,
must acknowledge the effect of the loan, and must be witnessed by a Plan representative or notary public. Such consent shall thereafter be binding with respect to the consenting spouse or any subsequent spouse with respect to that loan. A new
consent shall be required if the Account balance is used for renegotiation, extension, renewal, or other revision of the loan. 
 (m)
Ordering Rule. The Plan Administrator shall determine from which Accounts a Participant may receive a loan and the ordering rule for loans. 

If Section 7.10 applies and a valid spousal consent has been obtained, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, the
portion of the Participant’s vested Account balance used as a security interest held by the Plan by reason of a loan outstanding to the Participant shall be taken into account for purposes of determining the amount of the Account balance
payable at the time of death or distribution, but only if the reduction is used as repayment of the loan. If less than 100% of the Participant’s vested Account balance (determined without regard to the preceding sentence) is payable to the
surviving spouse, then the Account balance shall be adjusted by first reducing the vested Account balance by the amount of the security used as repayment of the loan, and then determining the benefit payable to the surviving spouse.

ARTICLE 9 INVESTMENT AND VALUATION OF TRUST FUND 
  

	Section 9.01	INVESTMENT OF ASSETS 

 All existing assets of the Trust Fund and all future contributions
shall be invested in accordance with the terms of this Article 9. All assets of the Trust Fund may be commingled for investment purposes with the assets of any retirement plan which is maintained by the Company and which qualifies under Code section
401(a) and may be held as a single fund under one or more trust instruments; provided that the value of each plan’s assets can be determined at any time. The assets allocable to each such plan shall in no event be used for the benefit of
Participants in the other plans. 
  

	Section 9.02	PARTICIPANT SELF-DIRECTION 

 (a) In General. To the extent provided for in the Adoption
Agreement, the Plan Administrator may permit Participants to direct the investment of their Accounts pursuant to this Section 9.02. Any Participant self direction shall be made pursuant to such uniform guidelines and procedures as the Plan
Administrator may establish from time to time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Participant may not alter his investment in the Employer Stock Fund except as provided in Subsection (b) below. 

(b) Pre-Retirement Diversification Rights. 

(1) The Plan Administrator shall offer a Qualified Participant the option to direct the investment of Employer Stock acquired by or
contributed to the Plan after December 31, 1986 (or all Employer Stock if so provided in the Adoption Agreement) into other Investment Funds pursuant to this Subsection and Code section 401(a)(28)(B)(ii)(II) during the Diversification Election
Period. The Participant must elect such option within 90 days after the end of each Plan Year during the Diversification Election Period, and the value of such Employer Stock will be invested as directed by such Participant within 180 days after the
end of such Plan Year. 
 (2) The maximum number of shares of Employer Stock which a Qualified Participant may elect to reinvest as of the
end of each of the Plan Years during the Diversification Election Period shall be that number of such shares (rounded to the nearest whole number) which is equal to the result determined by the formula (25% × (A + B)) - B, where A is the
number of shares of Employer Stock which are allocated to his Account as of the applicable date and B is the number of shares of Employer Stock, if any, previously reinvested by the Participant pursuant to this Subsection, provided that for purposes
of determining such maximum number of shares for the last Plan Year in a Diversification Election Period, fifty percent (50%) shall be substituted for twenty-five percent (25%). No Participant may elect to reinvest during any Diversification
Election Period if the fair market value as of the end of the preceding Plan Year of Employer Stock allocated to such Participant’s account is $500 or less, determined as of the Plan’s valuation date immediately preceding the first day on
which a Qualified Participant is eligible to make a diversification election. 
 (3) In the event a Qualified Participant elects to
diversify pursuant to the foregoing, the Plan Administrator may elect instead to distribute to the Qualified Participant the amounts subject to such election. The distribution must occur within 90 days after the last day of the annual
Diversification Election Period. Distribution of diversified Employer Stock must comply with section 7.02(a). 
 (4) In the event a
Qualified Participant elects to diversify pursuant to the foregoing, the Plan Administrator may elect instead to transfer an amount equal to the value of the diversified Employer Stock to another qualified defined contribution plan of the Employer
that offers at least three investment options (each of which must be diversified and have materially different risk and return characteristics). This transfer must be made within 90 days after the last day of the annual Diversification Election
Period and must comply with applicable qualification requirements, including Code section 414(l), 411(d)(6) and 401(a)(11). 
 (c)
Investment Elections. To the extent provided in Subsections (a) and (b), each Qualified Participant shall direct in the form and manner and at the time or times prescribed by the Plan Administrator the percentage of the applicable Accounts to
be invested in one or more of at least three alternative investment options available under the Plan. Each of these investment options must be diversified and have materially different risk and return characteristics. The Plan must

 ARTICLE 9 INVESTMENT AND VALUATION OF TRUST FUND 

 

 
invest the value of the diversified Employer Stock in accordance with the direction of the Qualified Participant within 90 days after the end of the annual Diversification Election Period. After
the death of the Participant, a Beneficiary shall be entitled to make investment elections as if the Beneficiary were the Participant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Plan Administrator may restrict investment transfers to the extent required to
comply with applicable law. 
 (d) Loans. If the Adoption Agreement does not permit Participant self-direction, any assets that are held in
the form of a Participant loan made pursuant to Article 8 shall be treated as a segregated investment unless otherwise provided by the Plan Administrator. 
  

	Section 9.03	INDIVIDUAL ACCOUNTS 

 To the extent provided in the Adoption Agreement, there shall be
maintained on the books of the Plan with respect to each Participant, as applicable, a Non-Elective Contribution Account, Rollover Contribution Account, Transfer Account and any other Account established by the Plan Administrator. Each such Account
shall separately reflect the Participant’s interest in the Trust Fund relating to such Account. Each Participant shall receive, at least annually, a statement of his Account. A Participant’s interest in the Trust Fund shall be determined
and accounted for based on his beneficial interest in such fund. 
  

	Section 9.04	QUALIFYING EMPLOYER INVESTMENTS 

 Subject to Section 1.02, the Trustee may invest up
to 100% (to extent that the Plan is not subject to Section 7.10) of the fair market value of the assets of the Trust Fund in Qualifying Employer Securities or Qualifying Employer Real Property”. In accordance with IRC 409(l), the term
“employer security” means (i) common stock issued by the Employer, or by a corporation within the same controlled group, which is readily tradeable on an established securities market (this requires that sales of the stock take place
regularly and consistently based on the facts and circumstances), (ii) if there is no readily tradeable common stock, closely held common stock of the Employer which has a combination of voting power and dividend rights equal to or in excess of
the class of common stock of the Employer having the greatest dividend rights, and (iii) noncallable preferred stock if the stock is convertible into stock which meets the requirements of (i) or (ii) above, and if the conversion price
is reasonable as of the date the ESOP acquired the preferred stock. 
  

	Section 9.05	ALLOCATION OF EARNINGS AND LOSSES 

 (a) Reinvestment. Except as provided in
Section 9.09, the dividends, capital gains distributions, and other earnings received on the Trust Fund shall be allocated to such fund and reinvested. 

(b) Valuation. Except as provided in Section 9.10, the assets of each Investment Fund shall be valued at their current fair market value
as of each Valuation Date, and Accounts of each Participant with interests in that Investment Fund shall be credited with such Participant’s allocable share of the earnings and losses of each Investment Fund since the immediately preceding
Valuation Date. Such allocation shall be done on the basis of such Participant’s interest in the applicable Investment Fund. For purposes of the allocation of investment earnings and losses, the Plan Administrator may adjust the value of
interests of Investment Funds in Accounts as of the preceding Valuation Date to account for any contributions, distributions or withdrawals that occur after such preceding Valuation Date. 

(c) Allocation to Individual Accounts. The Accounts of each Participant shall be adjusted as of each Valuation Date by (i) reducing such
Accounts by any distributions and withdrawals made therefrom since the preceding Valuation Date, (ii) increasing or reducing such Accounts by the Participant’s share of earnings and losses and reasonable fees charged against such accounts
at the direction of the Plan Administrator, and (iii) crediting such Accounts with any contributions made thereto since the preceding Valuation Date. 

(d) Allocation of Expenses. The Plan Administrator may allocate all, none or any portion of the Plan’s expenses to Participant Accounts.
When allocating expenses among Participant Accounts, the Plan Administrator may allocate such expenses using any reasonable method that does not violate Title I of ERISA and does not discriminate in favor of Highly Compensated Employees within the
meaning of applicable provisions of Code section 401(a)(4). Such methods may include, but not be limited to: (i) allocating expenses only to current or former employees (or among any other classification(s) of employees), (ii) allocating
expenses directly to individual employees, (iii) allocating expenses using the per capita or pro rata method, and (iv) any combination of the foregoing.

 (3) Instructions. If Participants are entitled to so direct the Trustee as to
the voting of Employer Stock pursuant to Subsection (b)(1) or (b)(2), all such Employer Stock as to which such instructions have been received (which may include an instruction to abstain) shall be voted in accordance with such instructions.

406 or 407 of ERISA (or a prohibited transaction exemption), the Plan Administrator, at the request of the Trustee, shall cause the Company to advance to the Trustee the amounts needed for distributions of benefits, payment of expenses or for other
expenditures. Such amounts shall be reimbursed by the Trustee to the Company, with such interest as may be permitted under ERISA.

stock split, stock conversion, reorganization or recapitalization of the Company) shall be credited to the account under which such dividends arise.

 If the Employer Stock is not readily tradable on an established
securities market (within the meaning of IRS Notice 2011-19 for Plan Years beginning on or after January 1, 2012 or such later date provided in such Notice), all valuations of Employer Stock acquired by or contributed to the Plan after
December 31, 1986 with respect to activities carried on by the Plan shall be performed by an independent appraiser. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the term “independent appraiser” means any appraiser meeting the requirements
of Code section 170(a). Valuations of Employer Stock must be made in good faith and based on all relevant factors for determining the fair market value of securities. In the case of a transaction between the Plan and a S-Corporation Disqualified
Person, value must be determined as of the date of the applicable transaction. For all other purposes under the Plan, value must be determined as of the most recent Valuation Date under the Plan. Earnings on shares allocated to Participant’s
accounts will be allocated to those accounts at least annually. 
  

	Section 9.11	LIFE INSURANCE 

 (a) Purchase of Life Insurance. To the extent provided in the Adoption
Agreement, a Participant may request that his Accounts that are not ESOP Accounts be invested in insurance on his life, and if the Plan Administrator, in its discretion, approves such request, it shall direct the Trustee to apply for and be the
owner of any insurance contract purchased under the terms of this Section. The insurance contract(s) must provide that proceeds will be payable to the Trustee; however, the Trustee shall be required to pay over all proceeds of the contract(s) to the
Participant’s Beneficiary in accordance with the distribution provisions of this Plan. The form and type of contract purchased shall be determined by the Plan Administrator. The Plan Administrator may also establish rules that prohibit the
purchase of life insurance where the annual premium is estimated to be less than a certain minimum amount. If the Plan Administrator directs the Trustee to borrow against such contracts, such borrowings shall be on a uniform and nondiscriminatory
basis. Any discretion shall be exercised in a non-discriminatory manner. 
 (b) Maximum Insurance Amounts. The total premiums paid for a
Participant’s ordinary life insurance shall be less than 50% of the aggregate Company contributions allocated to such Participant’s Account. If term insurance or universal life insurance is purchased, the aggregate premiums shall not
exceed 25% of aggregate Company contributions allocated to the insured Participant’s Account. If both ordinary life insurance and either term insurance or universal life insurance is purchased for a Participant, the aggregate premiums for such
term insurance and/or universal life insurance plus one-half of the total premiums for such ordinary life insurance shall not in the aggregate exceed 25% of the aggregate Company contributions allocated to the insured Participant’s Account.
However, the foregoing restrictions shall not apply to funds that may be withdrawn or distributed from the Plan in accordance with applicable law even if such withdrawals/distributions are not permitted under the terms of the Plan. 

(c) Beneficiary. The Trust Fund shall be designated as the Beneficiary to receive death benefits payable pursuant to the provisions of any
life insurance policy purchased pursuant to this Section. Any death proceeds received by the Trust Fund shall be added to the deceased Participant’s Account and distributed pursuant to Article 7 hereof. Under no circumstances shall the Trust
Fund retain any part of the proceeds. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Plan and the terms of any insurance contract purchased hereunder, the Plan provisions shall control. 

(d) Conversion of Policies. If an insured Participant does not die prior to retirement, the Trustee may: (i) convert the entire value of
any such life insurance contract at or before retirement into cash to provide the retirement benefits set forth in Article 7 so that no portion of such value may be used to continue life insurance protection beyond retirement; or
(ii) distribute any such contract to the Participant. Nothing provided herein shall be construed to prohibit the purchase, sale, transfer or exchange of any individual life insurance contract which would otherwise be permitted under applicable
prohibited transaction class exemptions or Department of Labor Regulations.

longer be considered a QLAC and will be included in the Participant’s Account Balance for purposes of distributions under Plan Section 7.05 as of the date the excess premium payment is made unless the amount is returned to a non-QLAC
portion of the Participant’s Account by the end of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the excess premium payment was made.

The Trustee will accept and hold in the Trust Fund such contributions on behalf of Participants as it may receive from time to time from the Company, including amounts transferred by any prior trustee of the Plan, and such earnings, income and
appreciation as may accrue thereon; less losses, depreciation and payments made by the Trustee to carry out the purposes of the Plan. The Trust Fund shall be fully invested and reinvested in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Plan.

 (b) Exclusive Benefit. All contributions made to the Plan are made for the exclusive benefit of the Participants and their Beneficiaries,
and such contributions shall not be used for, nor diverted to, purposes other than for the exclusive benefit of the Participants and their Beneficiaries (including the costs of maintaining and administering the Plan and corresponding Trust). 

(c) Return of Contributions. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan: (1) as contributions made prior to the receipt of an
initial determination letter are conditional upon a favorable determination as to the qualified status of the Plan under Code section 401(a), if the Plan receives an adverse determination with respect to its initial qualification, then any such
contribution may be returned to the Company within one year after such determination, provided the application for determination is made by the time prescribed by law; (2) contributions made by the Company based upon mistake of fact may be
returned to the Company within one year of such contribution; (3) as all contributions to the Plan are conditioned upon their deductibility under the Code, if a deduction for such a contribution is disallowed, such contribution may be returned
to the Company within one year of the disallowance of such deduction; and (4) after all liabilities under the Plan have been satisfied, the remaining assets of the Trust shall be distributed to the Company if such distribution does not
contravene any provision of applicable law. 
 In the case of the return of a contribution due to mistake of fact or the disallowance of a
deduction, the amount that may be returned is the excess of the amount contributed over the amount that would have been contributed had there not been a mistake or disallowance. Earnings attributable to the excess contributions may not be returned
to the Company but losses attributable thereto must reduce the amount to be so returned. Any return of contribution or distribution of assets made by the Trustee pursuant to this Section shall be made only upon the direction of the Company, which
shall have exclusive responsibility for determining whether the conditions of such return or distribution have been satisfied and for the amount to be returned. 

(d) Assets Not Held by Trustee. The Trustee shall not be responsible for any assets of the Plan that are held outside of the Trust Fund. The
Trustee is expressly hereby relieved of any responsibility or liability for any losses resulting to the Plan arising from any acts or omissions on the part of any insurance company holding assets outside of the Trust Fund. The Trustee may require
the Company to serve as custodian for all promissory notes and related documents issued in connection with the Plan’s Participant loan program and require the Company to be responsible for the safekeeping of same. 

(e) Group Trust. In the event that the Trust is a part of any group trust (within the meaning of Internal Revenue Service Revenue Rulings
81-100 and 2011-1): (1) participation in the Trust is limited to (i) individual retirement accounts which are exempt under Code section 408(e), (ii) pension and profit-sharing trusts which are exempt under Code section 501(a) by
qualifying under Code section 401(a) and (iii) accounts under Code sections 403(b)(7), 403(b)(9) and governmental retiree benefit plans under Code section 401(a)(24) to the extent the requirements of Revenue Ruling 2011-1 are met; (2) no
part of the corpus or income which equitably belongs to any individual retirement account or Employer’s trust may be used for or diverted to any purposes other than for the exclusive benefit of the individual or the Employees, respectively, or
their Beneficiaries who are entitled to benefits under such participating individual retirement account or Employer’s trust; (3) no part of the equity or interest in the Trust Fund shall be subject to assignment by a participating
individual retirement account or Employer’s trust; and (4) the Trustee shall maintain separate accounts for each participating trust or individual retirement account.

	Section 10.02	DUTIES OF THE TRUSTEE 

 (a) In General. The Trustee is not a party to, and has no duties
or responsibilities under the Plan, other than those that may be expressly contained in this Article. The Trustee shall have no duties, responsibilities or liability with respect to the acts or omissions of any prior trustee. The Trustee shall
discharge its assigned duties and responsibilities under this Article and the Plan with the care, skill, prudence, and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing that a prudent person acting in a like capacity and familiar with such matters
would use in the conduct of an enterprise of a like character and with like aims. 
 (b) Contributions. The Trustee agrees to accept
contributions that are paid to it by the Company (as well as Rollover Contributions and direct transfers from other eligible retirement plans) in accordance with the terms of this Article. Such contributions shall be in cash or in such other form
that may be acceptable to the Trustee. In-kind contributions of other than qualifying employer securities are permitted provided that the contribution is discretionary and unencumbered. Qualifying employer securities may be contributed subject to
the requirements of ERISA section 408(e). The Trustee shall have no responsibility for any property until it is received by the Trustee. The special trustee specified in the Adoption Agreement has the duty to determine and collect contributions
under the Plan. The Company shall have the sole duty and responsibility for the determination of the accuracy or sufficiency of the contributions to be made under the Plan, the transmittal of the same to the Trustee and compliance with any statute,
regulation or rule applicable to contributions. 
 (c) Distributions. The Trustee shall make distributions out of the Trust Fund pursuant to
instructions described in Section 10.05. The Trustee shall not have any responsibility or duty under this Article for determining that such are in accordance with the terms of the Plan and applicable law, including without limitation, the
amount, timing or method of payment and the identity of each person to whom such payments shall be made. The Trustee shall have no responsibility or duty to determine the tax effect of any payment or to see to the application of any payment. In
making payments, the Company acknowledges that the Trustee is acting as a paying agent and not as the payor, for tax information reporting and withholding purposes. In the event that any dispute shall arise as to the persons to whom payment or
delivery of any assets shall be made by the Trustee, the Trustee may withhold such payment or delivery until such dispute shall have been settled by the parties concerned or shall have been determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. 

(d) Records. The Trustee shall keep full and accurate accounts of all receipts, investments, disbursements and other transactions hereunder,
including such specific records as may be agreed upon in writing between the Company and the Trustee. All such accounts, books and records shall be open to inspection and audit at all reasonable times by any authorized representative of the Company
or the Plan Administrator. A Participant may examine only those individual account records pertaining directly to him. 
 (e) Accounting.
The Trustee shall file with the Plan Administrator a written account of the administration of the Trust Fund showing all transactions effected by the Trustee subsequent to the period covered by the last preceding account and all property held at the
end of the accounting period. The Trustee shall use its best effort to file such written account within ninety (90) days, but not later than one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of each Plan Year. Upon approval of such accounting by
the Plan Administrator, neither the Company nor the Plan Administrator shall be entitled to any further accounting by the Trustee. The Plan Administrator may approve such accounting by written notice of approval delivered to the Trustee or by
failure to express objection to such accounting in writing delivered to the Trustee within six (6) months from the date on which the accounting is delivered to the Plan Administrator. 

(f) Participant Eligibility. The Trustee shall not be required to determine the facts concerning the eligibility of any Participant to
participate in the Plan, the amount of benefits payable to any Participant or Beneficiary under the Plan, or the date or method of payment or disbursement. The Trustee shall be fully entitled to rely in good faith solely upon the written advice and
directions of the Plan Administrator as to any such question of fact. 
 (g) Indicia of Ownership. The Trustee shall not hold the indicia of
ownership of any assets of the Trust Fund outside of the jurisdiction of the District Courts of the United States, unless in compliance with section 404(b) of ERISA and regulations thereunder.

Trust and shall promptly notify the Company of any claim against the Plan and Trust.

	Section 10.06	INVESTMENT OF THE FUND 

 (a) Investment Funds. The Investment Fiduciary shall have the
exclusive authority and discretion to select the Investment Funds available for investment under the Plan. In making such selection, the Investment Fiduciary shall use the care, skill, prudence and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing
that a prudent person acting in a like capacity and familiar with such matters would use in the conduct of an enterprise of a like character and with like aims. Subject to the first sentence of Subsection (b) below, the available investments
under the Plan shall be sufficiently diversified so as to minimize the risk of large losses, unless under the circumstances it is clearly prudent not to do so. The Investment Fiduciary shall notify the Trustee in writing of the selection of the
Investment Funds currently available for investment under the Plan, and any changes thereto. 
 (b) Participant Self-Direction. To the
extent permitted by the Plan Administrator and the Adoption Agreement pursuant to Section 9.02, each Participant shall have the right, in accordance with the provisions of the Plan, to direct the investment by the Trustee of all amounts
allocated to the separate Accounts of the Participant under the Plan among any one or more of the available Investment Funds; provided, however, that during any transition period as may be determined by the Investment Fiduciary, the Investment
Fiduciary may direct the investment by the Trustee into the Investment Funds available during such period with respect to which individual Participants’ directions shall not have been made or shall not have been permitted to be made under the
Plan. All investment directions by Participants shall be timely furnished to the Trustee by the Plan Administrator, except to the extent such directions are transmitted telephonically or otherwise by Participants directly to the Trustee or its
delegate in accordance with rules and procedures established and approved by the Plan Administrator and communicated to the Trustee. In making any investment of the assets of the Fund, the Trustee shall be fully entitled to rely on such directions
furnished to it by the Plan Administrator or by Participants in accordance with the Plan Administrator’s approved rules and procedures, and shall be under no duty to make any inquiry or investigation with respect thereto. If the Trustee
receives any contribution under the Plan that is not accompanied by instructions directing its investment, the Trustee shall notify the Plan Administrator of that fact, and the Trustee may, in its discretion, hold all or a portion of the
contribution uninvested without liability for loss of income or appreciation pending receipt of proper investment directions. 
 (c)
Investment Managers. 
 (1) Appointment of Investment Managers. The Investment Fiduciary may appoint one or more Investment Managers with
respect to some or all of the assets of the Trust Fund as contemplated by section 402(c)(3) of ERISA. Any such Investment Manager shall acknowledge to the Investment Fiduciary in writing that it accepts such appointment and that it is an ERISA
fiduciary with respect to the Plan and the Trust Fund. The Investment Fiduciary shall provide the Trustee with a copy of the written agreement (and any amendments thereto) between the Investment Fiduciary and the Investment Manager. By notifying the
Trustee of the appointment of an Investment Manager, the Investment Fiduciary shall be deemed to certify that such Investment Manager meets the requirements of section 3(38) of ERISA. The authority of the Investment Manager shall continue until the
Investment Fiduciary rescinds the appointment or the Investment Manager has resigned. 
 (2) Separation of Duties. The assets with respect
to which a particular Investment Manager has been appointed shall be specified by the Investment Fiduciary and shall be segregated in a separate account for the Investment Manager (the “Separate Account”) and the Investment Manager shall
have the power to direct the Trustee in every aspect of the investment of the assets of the Separate Account. The Trustee shall not be liable for the acts or omissions of an Investment Manager and shall have no liability or responsibility for acting
pursuant to the direction of, or failing to act in the absence of, any direction from an Investment Manager, unless the Trustee knows that by such action or failure to act it would be itself committing a breach of fiduciary duty or participating in
a breach of fiduciary duty by such Investment Manager, it being the intention of the parties that each party shall have the full protection of section 405(d) of ERISA. 

(d) Proxies. 
 (1) Delivery of
Information. The Trustee shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Company or Plan Administrator all notices, prospectuses, financial statements, proxies and proxy soliciting materials received by the Trustee relating to securities held by the

 (2) Voting. The Trustee shall not vote any securities held by the Trust except in accordance
with the written instructions of the Company, the Investment Fiduciary, or to the extent provided in the Adoption Agreement, the Participant or the Beneficiary of the Participant, if the Participant is deceased. However, the Trustee may, in the
absence of instructions, vote “present” for the sole purpose of allowing such shares to be counted for establishment of a quorum at a shareholders’ meeting. The Trustee shall have no duty to solicit instructions from Participants,
Beneficiaries, the Investment Fiduciary or the Company. 
 (3) Investment Manager. To the extent not delegated to Participants pursuant to
Subsection (b), the Investment Manager shall be responsible for making any proxy voting or tender offer decisions with respect to securities held in the Separate Account and the Investment Manager shall maintain a record of the reasons for the
manner in which it voted proxies or responded to tender offers. 
 (e) Life Insurance. Any life insurance investment allowed under Article 9
shall be a permitted Investment Fund. 
  

	Section 10.07	COMPENSATION AND INDEMNIFICATION 

 (a) Compensation. The Trustee shall be entitled to
reasonable compensation for its services as is mutually agreed upon with the Plan Sponsor; provided that such compensation does not result in a prohibited transaction within the meaning of the Code and ERISA. If the Trustee and the Company mutually
agree that the Trustee may retain as additional compensation for its services any earnings resulting from the anticipated short-term investment of funds (“float”) on Plan assets deposited in or transferred to a Trustee general or omnibus
account, then the Trustee shall be authorized to retain such float; provided, that such agreement: (i) discloses the specific circumstances under which float will be earned and retained, (ii) in the case of float on distributions,
discloses when the float period commences and ends, and (iii) discloses the rate of the float or the specific manner in which such rate will be determined. If approved by the Plan Administrator, the Trustee shall also be entitled to
reimbursement for all direct expenses properly and actually incurred on behalf of the Plan. Such compensation or reimbursement shall be paid to the Trustee out of the Trust Fund unless paid directly by the Company. 

(b) Indemnification. Unless otherwise provided in an Addendum to the Adoption Agreement, each Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the
Trustee (and its delegates) from all claims, liabilities, losses, damages and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred by the Trustee in connection with its duties hereunder to the extent not covered by insurance,
except when the same is due to the Trustee’s own gross negligence, willful misconduct, lack of good faith, or breach of its fiduciary duties under the Plan or ERISA. 
  

	Section 10.08	RESIGNATION AND REMOVAL 

 (a) Resignation. The Trustee may resign at any time by written
notice to the Plan Sponsor which shall be effective 60 days after delivery unless prior thereto a successor Trustee assumes the responsibilities of Trustee hereunder. 

(b) Removal. The Trustee may be removed by the Plan Sponsor at any time. 

(c) Successor Trustee. The appointment of a successor Trustee hereunder shall be accomplished by and shall take effect upon the delivery to
the resigning or removed Trustee, as the case may be, of written notice of the Plan Sponsor appointing such successor Trustee, and an acceptance in writing of the office of successor Trustee hereunder executed by the successor so appointed. Any
successor Trustee may be either a corporation authorized and empowered to exercise trust powers or one or more individuals. All of the provisions set forth herein with respect to the Trustee shall relate to each successor Trustee so appointed with
the same force and effect as if such successor Trustee had been originally named herein as the Trustee hereunder. If within 45 days after notice of resignation shall have been given under the provisions of this Article a successor Trustee shall not
have been appointed, the resigning Trustee or the Plan Sponsor may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee. 

(d) Transfer of Trust Fund. Upon the appointment of a successor Trustee, the resigning or removed Trustee shall transfer and deliver the Trust
Fund to such successor Trustee, after reserving such reasonable amount as it shall deem necessary to provide for its expenses in the settlement of its account, the amount of any compensation due to it and any sums chargeable against the Trust Fund
for which it may be liable. If the sums so reserved are not sufficient for such purposes, the resigning or removed Trustee shall be entitled to reimbursement for any deficiency from the Plan Sponsor.

ARTICLE 11 SPECIAL TOP-HEAVY RULES 
  

	Section 11.01	TOP-HEAVY STATUS 

 The special provisions set forth in this Article 11 shall apply during
any Plan Year in which this Plan, together with any other retirement plans required to be aggregated under Code section 416(g) and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, is “Top-Heavy.” This Plan is Top-Heavy for any Plan Year
beginning after 1983: 
 (a) If the Top-Heavy Ratio for this Plan exceeds 60% and this Plan is not part of any Required Aggregation Group or
Permissive Aggregation Group of plans; 
 (b) If this Plan is a part of a Required Aggregation Group of plans but not part of a Permissive
Aggregation Group and the Top-Heavy Ratio for the Required Aggregation Group of plans exceeds 60%; or 
 (c) If this Plan is a part of a
Required Aggregation Group and part of a Permissive Aggregation Group of plans and the Top-Heavy Ratio for the Permissive Aggregation Group exceeds 60%. 
  

	Section 11.02	MINIMUM ALLOCATIONS 

 (a) In General. In General. Notwithstanding other provisions of
this Plan, for any Plan Year during which this Plan is Top-Heavy and the Top-Heavy minimum allocation is not met solely or partially in another plan, the following shall apply: 

(1) Unless otherwise provided in the Adoption Agreement and subject to (a)(4) and (a)(5) below, a Participant specified in Subsection (a)(2)
below shall receive the minimum allocation or benefit requirement applicable to Top-Heavy plans specified in (a)(3) below. 
 (2)
Participants Receiving Minimum Allocation/Benefit. If the Participant is not eligible to participate in a defined benefit plan in a group specified in Section 11.01 other than a frozen plan in which no additional accruals are being made, he or
she shall receive the minimum allocation or benefit in this Plan or any other defined contribution plan that is sponsored by the Employer provided, he or she is (i) an Eligible Employee as described in the Adoption Agreement; and
(ii) employed by the Employer on the last day of the Plan Year. If the Participant is eligible to participate in a defined benefit plan in a group specified in Section 11.01, and the Top-Heavy minimum is to be made in this Plan for such

document; and (ii) has completed 1,000 Hours of Service (in accordance with such defined benefit plan) during such Plan Year. In the event a Participant is entitled to a Top-Heavy minimum benefit accrual under a defined benefit plan and is not
otherwise eligible for a Top-Heavy minimum allocation under this Plan because of severance of employment prior to the last day of the Plan Year, such requirement shall be waived in this Plan solely to the extent the Top-Heavy minimum is required to
be given in this Plan. 
 (3) Amount of Minimum Allocation/Benefit. If the Participant is not eligible to participate in a defined benefit
plan in a group specified in Section 11.01, the Top-Heavy minimum allocation (“defined contribution minimum”) shall not be less than the lesser of 3% of such Participant’s Statutory Compensation or the largest percentage of
Company contributions (including Elective Deferrals) and forfeitures, as a percentage of Key Employee’s Statutory Compensation, as limited by Code section 401(a)(17), allocated on behalf of any Key Employee for that Plan Year. If: (i) the
Participant is eligible to participate in a defined benefit plan in a group specified in Section 11.01, (ii) satisfies the requirement in the defined benefit plan to receive the Top-Heavy minimum under the terms of that plan, and
(iii) the Top-Heavy minimum is to be given in this Plan, the Top-Heavy minimum benefit (“defined benefit minimum”) shall be determined under one of the following methods: 

(A) Defined Benefit Minimum. A defined benefit minimum, which is an accrued benefit at any point in time equal to at least the product of
(i) a Participant’s average annual compensation for the period of consecutive years (not exceeding five) when the Participant had the highest aggregate compensation from the Employer and (ii) the lesser of 2% per year of service
or 1-year period of service (within the meaning of Code section 416), as applicable, with the Employer or 20%, subject to the rules of Code section 416 and the Regulations thereunder;

 ARTICLE 11 SPECIAL “TOP-HEAVY” RULES 

 

 (B) Floor Offset. A floor offset approach, pursuant to Revenue Ruling 76-259, 1976-2 C.B.
111, under which the defined benefit minimum of the defined benefit plan that is provided pursuant to Subsection (A) above is offset by the benefits provided under the defined contribution plan (or plans); 

(C) Comparability Analysis. A demonstration, using a comparability analysis of Rev. Rul. 81-202, that the plans are providing benefits at
least equal to the defined benefit minimum that is provided pursuant to Subsection (A) above; or 
 (D) Defined Contribution Minimum.
An allocation of Employer contributions and forfeitures that are made on behalf of such Participant under this Plan (or any defined contribution plan that is sponsored by the Employer) equal to 5% of the Participant’s Statutory Compensation
unless off-setting a portion of the minimum allocation in another plan or the Participant in this Plan is not a participant in the defined benefit plan. If the Plan allocates its Profit Sharing or Pension Contribution using permitted disparity
(integration), it may, therefore, substitute the 3% in the first step of its allocation process with 5% (or such other amount required) in order to satisfy the Top-Heavy minimum allocation. 

(4) The minimum allocation is determined without regard to any Social Security contribution. The Top-Heavy minimum shall be made even though,
under other Plan provisions, the Participant would not otherwise be entitled to receive an allocation, or would have received a lesser allocation for the Plan Year because of: (i) the Participant’s failure to complete 1,000 Hours of
Service (or any equivalent provided in the Plan); (ii) the Participant’s failure to make mandatory Employee contributions to the Plan; or (iii) Compensation less than a stated amount. Except as provided in Subsections (b) and
(c) below, neither Elective Deferrals nor Matching Contributions may be taken into account for the purpose of satisfying the minimum Top-Heavy contribution requirement. 

(5) Contributions under other Plans. To the extent provided in the Adoption Agreement, the minimum allocation requirement discussed in
Subsection 11.02(a) may be met solely or partially in another plan. If the minimum allocation requirement of this Section 11.02 for any Plan Year is met partially in another plan, this Plan may offset the minimum required allocation in
Subsection 11.02(a) by the amount allocated in or the benefit accrued in the other plan. If, after applying the requirements of Code section 416, corresponding regulations and this Article 11, the Top-Heavy minimum allocation is not satisfied, then
additional contributions may be made to this Plan and/or to one or more plans that are part of the Required Aggregation Group or Permissive Aggregation Group. 

(b) Matching Contributions. Employer Matching Contributions may be taken into account for purposes of satisfying the minimum contribution
requirements of Code section 416(c)(2) and the Plan. The preceding sentence shall apply with respect to Matching Contributions under the Plan or, if the Plan provides that the minimum contribution requirement shall be met in another plan, such other
plan. Employer Matching Contributions that are used to satisfy the minimum contribution requirements shall be treated as Matching Contributions for purposes of the ACP test and other requirements of Code section 401(m). 

(c) The Top-Heavy requirements of Code section 416 and this Section shall not apply in any year beginning after December 31, 2001, in
which the Plan consists solely of a cash or deferred arrangement which meets the requirements of Code sections 401(k)(11), 401(k)(12) or 401(k)(13) and Matching Contributions with respect to which the requirements of Code sections 401(m)(10),
401(m)(11) or 401(m)(12) are met; or in which the Plan is part of an “eligible combined plan” in compliance with Code section 414(x), IRS Notice 2009-71, and any superseding/subsequent guidance. 

 

	Section 11.03	MINIMUM VESTING 

 (a) For any Plan Year in which this Plan is Top-Heavy, the Top-Heavy
vesting schedule specified in the Adoption Agreement shall automatically apply to the Plan to the extent that it is more favorable than the vesting schedule provided for in Article 6.

		  	 Less than Three Years
	  	 	0	% 
		  	 Three or More Years
	  	 	100	% 

 (b) The minimum vesting schedule applies to all benefits within the meaning of Code section 411(a)(7) except
those attributable to Employee contributions or those already subject to a vesting schedule which vests at least as rapidly as the schedule listed above, including benefits accrued before the effective date of Code section 416 and benefits accrued
before the Plan became Top-Heavy. Further, no decrease in a Participant’s nonforfeitable percentage may occur in the event the Plan’s status as Top-Heavy changes for any Plan Year. However, this Section does not apply to the Account
balances of any Employee who does not have an Hour of Service after the Plan initially became Top-Heavy and such Employee’s Account balance attributable to Company contributions and forfeitures will be determined without regard to this Section.
The minimum allocation required (to the extent required to be nonforfeitable under Code section 416(b)) may not be forfeited under Code sections 411(a)(3)(B) or 411(a)(3)(D).

	Section 12.07	CLAIMS PROCEDURES 

 (a) Application for Benefits. A Participant or any other person

(b) Timing of Notice of Denied Claim. The Plan Administrator shall notify the Claimant of any adverse benefit determination within a
reasonable period of time, but not later than 90 days (45 days if the claim relates to a disability determination) after receipt of the claim. This period may be extended one time by the Plan for up to 90 days (30 additional days if the claim
relates to a disability determination), provided that the Plan Administrator both determines that such an extension is necessary due to matters beyond the control of the Plan and notifies the Claimant, prior to the expiration of the initial review
period, of the circumstances requiring the extension of time and the date by which the Plan expects to render a decision. If the claim relates to a disability determination, the period for making the determination may be extended for up to an
additional 30 days if the Plan Administrator notifies the Claimant prior to the expiration of the first 30-day extension period. 
 (c)
Content of Notice of Denied Claim. If a claim is wholly or partially denied, the Plan Administrator shall provide the Claimant with a written notice identifying (1) the reason or reasons for such denial, (2) the pertinent Plan provisions

appeal shall identify both the grounds and specific Plan provisions upon which the appeal is based. The Claimant shall be provided, upon request and free of charge, documents and other
information relevant to his claim. A written appeal may also include any comments, statements or documents that the Claimant may desire to provide. The Plan Administrator shall consider the merits of the Claimant’s written presentations, the
merits of any facts or evidence in support of the denial of benefits, and such other facts and circumstances as the Plan Administrator may deem relevant. The Claimant shall lose the right to appeal if the appeal is not timely made. The Plan
Administrator shall ordinarily rule on an appeal within 60 days (45 days if the claim relates to a disability determination). However, if special circumstances require an extension and the Plan Administrator furnishes the Claimant with a written
extension notice during the initial period, the Plan Administrator may take up to 120 days (90 days if the claim relates to a disability determination) to rule on an appeal. 

(e) Denial of Appeal. If an appeal is wholly or partially denied, the Plan Administrator shall provide the Claimant with a notice identifying
(1) the reason or reasons for such denial, (2) the pertinent Plan provisions on which the denial 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 the Claimant’s right to bring an action under section 502(a) of ERISA. The determination rendered by the Plan

 ARTICLE 13 AMENDMENT, MERGER AND TERMINATION 

 

 ARTICLE 13 AMENDMENT, MERGER AND TERMINATION 

 

	Section 13.01	AMENDMENT 

 The provisions of the Plan may be amended in writing at any time and from
time to time by the Plan Sponsor, provided, however, that: 
 (a) No amendment to the Plan shall be effective to the extent that it has the
effect of decreasing a Participant’s accrued benefit and no amendment shall increase the duties and liabilities of the Trustee without the Trustee’s consent. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, a Participant’s Account balance may
be reduced to the extent permitted under Code section 412(c)(8). For purposes of this Subsection, a Plan amendment which has the effect of decreasing a Participant’s Account balance, with respect to benefits attributable to service before the
amendment, shall be treated as reducing an accrued benefit. 
 A Plan amendment may not decrease a Participant’s accrued benefits, or
otherwise place greater restrictions or conditions on a Participant’s rights to Code section 411(d)(6) protected benefits, even if the amendment merely adds a restriction or condition that is permitted under the vesting rules in Code section
411(a)(3) through (11). Notwithstanding the foregoing, an amendment described in the previous sentence does not violate Code section 411(d)(6) to the extent: (1) it applies with respect to benefits that accrue after the applicable amendment
date; (2) the Plan amendment changes the Plan’s Vesting Computation Period and it satisfies the applicable requirements under 29 CFR 2530.203-2(c); or (3) permitted under Code section 412(d)(2) or Treas. Reg. sections 1.411(d)-3 and
1.411(d)-4 and any superseding guidance. 
 No amendment to the Plan shall be effective to eliminate or restrict an optional form of
benefit. The preceding sentence shall not apply to a Plan amendment that eliminates or restricts the ability of a Participant to receive payment of his or her Account balance under a particular optional form of benefit if the amendment is permitted
under applicable Treasury Regulations. 
 A Plan amendment may also provide exceptions from the general prohibition against the elimination
or restriction of optional forms of benefit for in-kind distributions and elective transfers as specified under Treas. Reg. section 1.411(d)-4 Q&A 2 and 3. 

(b) If the Plan’s vesting schedule is amended, in the case of an Employee who is a Participant as of the later of the date the amendment
is adopted or the date it becomes effective, the nonforfeitable percentage (determined as of such date) of such Employee’s Employer-derived accrued benefit will not be less than the percentage computed under the Plan without regard to such
amendment. 
 (c) If the Plan’s vesting schedule is amended, or the Plan is amended in any way that directly or indirectly affects the
computation of the Participant’s nonforfeitable percentage or if the Plan is deemed amended by an automatic change to or from a Top-Heavy vesting schedule, each Participant with at least 3 Years of Vesting Service with the Employer may elect,
within a reasonable period after the adoption of the amendment or change, to have the nonforfeitable percentage computed under the Plan without regard to such amendment or change. For Participants who do not have at least 1 Hour of Service in any
Plan Year beginning after December 31, 1988, the preceding sentence shall be applied by substituting “5 Years of Vesting Service” for “3 Years of Vesting Service” where such language appears. The period during which the
election may be made shall commence with the date the amendment is adopted or deemed to be made and shall end on the latest of: 
 (1) 60
days after the amendment is adopted; 
 (2) 60 days after the amendment becomes effective; or 

(3) 60 days after the Participant is issued written notice of the amendment by the Plan Administrator.

 The election provided for in this Section 13.01 shall be made in writing and shall be

 (d) Code section 411(d)(6) protected benefits will be available without regard to Employer discretion in
accordance with Treas. Reg. section 1.411(d)(4), Q & A’s #8 & 9. 
 (e) Amendment to Other Vesting Provisions. 

(1) Except as provided in Subsection (e)(2), a plan amendment may not decrease a Participant’s accrued benefits, or otherwise place
greater restrictions or conditions on a Participant’s rights to Code section 411(d)(6) protected benefits, even if the amendment merely adds a restriction or condition that is permitted under the vesting rules in Code section 411(a)(3) through
(11). 
 (2) An amendment described in Subsection (e)(2) does not violate Code section 411(d)(6) to the extent: (i) it applies with
respect to benefits that accrue after the applicable amendment date; or (ii) the plan amendment changes the Plan’s vesting computation period and it satisfies the applicable requirements under 29 CFR 2530.203-2(c). 

(f) An amendment or restatement of the Plan may be made by any method including a formal record of action by the Board or other written
document and execution of such amendment or restatement may be made by written or electronic means. 
  

	Section 13.02	MERGER AND TRANSFER 

 (a) Merger. In the event of any merger or consolidation with, or
transfer of assets or liabilities to, any other plan, each Participant shall have a benefit in the surviving or transferee plan (as if such plan were then terminated immediately after such merger, consolidation or transfer) that is equal to or
greater than the benefit he would have had immediately before such merger, consolidation or transfer in the plan in which he was then a Participant had such plan been terminated at that time. 

(b) Transfer. The Plan Administrator may direct the Trustee to accept assets and related liabilities from another qualified plan provided that
it receives sufficient evidence that the transferor plan is a tax-qualified plan. The Plan Administrator may direct the Trustee to transfer assets and related liabilities to another qualified plan provided that it receives sufficient evidence that
the transferee plan is a tax-qualified plan. 
  

	Section 13.03	TERMINATION 

 (a) It is the intention of the Plan Sponsor that this Plan will be
permanent. However, the Plan Sponsor reserves the right to terminate the Plan at any time for any reason. 
 (b) Each entity constituting
the Company reserves the right to terminate its participation in this Plan. Each such entity constituting the Company shall be deemed to terminate its participation in the Plan if: (1) it is a party to a merger in which it is not the surviving
entity and the surviving entity is not an affiliate of another entity constituting the Company; or (2) it sells all or substantially all of its assets to an entity that is not an affiliate of another entity constituting the Company. 

(c) Any termination of the Plan shall become effective as of the date designated by the Plan Sponsor. Except as expressly provided elsewhere
in the Plan, prior to the satisfaction of all liabilities with respect to the benefits provided under this Plan, no termination shall cause any part of the funds or assets held to provide benefits under the Plan to be used other than for the benefit
of Participants or to meet the administrative expenses of the Plan. In the event of the termination or partial termination of the Plan the Account balance of each affected Participant will be nonforfeitable. In the event of a partial termination of
the Plan the Account balance of each affected Participant will be nonforfeitable. In the event of a complete discontinuance of contributions under the Plan, the Account balance of each affected Participant will be nonforfeitable. Upon termination of
the Plan, Participant Accounts shall be distributed in a single lump sum payment unless otherwise required pursuant to Article 7.

	Section 14.01	NONALIENATION OF BENEFITS 

 (a) Except as provided in Section 14.01(b), the Trust
Fund shall not be subject to any form of attachment, garnishment, sequestration or other actions of collection afforded creditors of the Company, Participants or Beneficiaries under the Plan and all payments, benefits and rights shall be free from
attachment, garnishment, trustee’s process, or any other legal or equitable process available to any creditor of such Company, Participant or Beneficiary. Except as provided in Section 14.01(b), no Participant or Beneficiary shall have the
right to alienate, anticipate, commute, pledge, encumber or assign any of the benefits or payments which he may expect to receive, contingently or otherwise, under the Plan, except the right to designate a Beneficiary. Any reference to a Participant
or Beneficiary shall include an Alternate Payee or the Beneficiary of an Alternate Payee. 
 (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee
and/or Plan Administrator may: 
 (1) Subject to Section 14.02 below, comply with the provisions and conditions of any Qualified
Domestic Relations Order pursuant to the provisions of Code section 414(p). 
 (2) Comply with any federal tax levy made pursuant to Code
section 6331.

ERISA. 
 (4) Bring action to recover benefit overpayments. 
  

	Section 14.02	RIGHTS OF ALTERNATE PAYEES 

 (a) General. An Alternate Payee shall have no rights to a
Participant’s benefit and shall have no rights under this Plan other than those rights specifically granted to the Alternate Payee pursuant to a Qualified Domestic Relations Order that are consistent with this Section 14.02. 

(b) Distribution. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, the Plan Administrator may direct the Trustee to distribute all
or a portion of a Participant’s benefits under the Plan to an Alternate Payee in accordance with the terms and conditions of a Qualified Domestic Relations Order. The Plan hereby specifically permits and authorizes distribution of a
Participant’s benefits under the Plan to an Alternate Payee in accordance with a Qualified Domestic Relations Order prior to the date the Participant has a Termination of Employment, or prior to the date the Participant attains his earliest
retirement age as defined in Code section 414(p). Unless otherwise provided in the Adoption Agreement, the preceding sentence does not apply to the Participant’s ESOP Account. 

(c) Investment Funds. If the Qualified Domestic Relations Order does not specify the Participant’s Accounts, or Investment Funds in which
such Accounts are invested, from which amounts that are separately accounted for shall be paid to an Alternate Payee, such amounts shall be distributed, or segregated, from the Participant’s Accounts, and the Investment Funds in which such
Accounts are invested (excluding any amounts invested as a Participant loan), on a pro rata basis. A Qualified Domestic Relations Order may not provide for the assignment to an Alternate Payee of an amount that exceeds the balance of the
Participant’s vested Accounts after deduction of any outstanding loan. 
 (d) Default Rules. Unless a Qualified Domestic Relations
Order establishing a separate account for an Alternate Payee provides to the contrary: 
 (1) Death Benefits. An Alternate Payee shall have
the right to designate a Beneficiary who shall receive benefits payable to an Alternate Payee which have not been distributed at the time of the Alternate Payee’s death. If the Alternate Payee does not designate a Beneficiary, or if the
Beneficiary predeceases the Alternate Payee, benefits

benefit payable to the Beneficiary of an Alternate Payee shall be paid in a single sum as soon as administratively practicable after the Alternate Payee’s death.
