|Sec.   2.01.                                    |  | TRUST FUND. The Trust Fund as of any date means all property of every kind held or acquired by the Trustee pursuant to this Trust. Trust Fund is also referred
to as Trust assets. The Trustee may manage, administer and invest all contributions made to the Trust by the Employer or Employers under the Plan as one Trust Fund. If, for any reason, it becomes necessary to determine the portion of the
Trust Fund allocable to Employees and former Employees of any Employer as of any date, the Committee (as defined in Section 2.02 herein) shall specify such date as an Accounting Date, and after all adjustments required under the Plan as of
that Accounting Date have been made, the portion of the Trust Fund attributable to such Employees and former Employees shall be determined and shall consist of an amount equal to the aggregate of the Account balances of Employees and former
Employees of that Employer plus an amount equal to any allocable contributions made by that Employer since the close of the immediately preceding Plan Year                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     |  | 2

|Sec.   2.02.                                    |  | PLAN ADMINISTRATION. The Plan shall be administered by a Committee appointed by the Board of Directors of the Company. Except as provided in the Plan, Section 2.04 herein, and
under ERISA, the Trustee shall have no authority to act unless directed by the Committee. In the absence of a Committee, the Board of Directors of the Company, as Named Fiduciary assumes the powers, duties and responsibilities of the Committee. The
Committee may authorize one or more individuals to sign all communications between the Committee and Trustee. The Company shall at all times keep the Trustee advised of the names of the members of the Committee and individuals authorized to sign on
behalf of the Committee, and provide specimen signatures thereof. With the Trustees prior written consent, the Committee may authorize the Trustee to act, without specific directions or other directions or instructions from the Committee, on
any matter or class of matters with respect to which directions or instructions from the Committee are called for hereunder. The Trustee shall be fully protected in relying on any communication sent by any authorized person and shall not be required
to verify the accuracy or validity of any signature. If the Trustee requests any directions hereunder and does not receive them, the Trustee shall act or refrain from acting, as it may determine, with no liability for such action or inaction.
Notwithstanding the provisions herein, the Trustee: (i) shall act in accordance with its obligations under ERISA and the Plan; and (ii) is the sole discretionary fiduciary with respect to borrowing money for the purpose of purchasing employer
securities and for the purchase or sale of employer securities |  | 2

|Sec.   2.06. |  | COMPENSATION AND EXPENSES. The Trustee shall be entitled to reasonable compensation for his services, as agreed to between the Company and the Trustee from time to time in writing and
to reimbursement of all reasonable expenses incurred by the Trustee in the administration of the Trust and Plan. The Trustee is authorized to pay from the Trust Fund all expenses reasonably incurred by the Trustee, to the extent such fees and
expenses are for the ordinary and necessary administration and operation of the Trust, including its compensation, compensation to any agents employed by the Trustee and any reasonable accounting and reasonable legal expenses, to the extent they are
not paid directly by the Company or Employers. If the Trustee does not pay from the Trust Fund expenses reasonably incurred, the Company shall pay such expenses. If the Trustee is permitted to pay such expenses from the Trust Fund but there are not
sufficient amounts in the Trust Fund to pay such expenses, the Trustee has the right (i) to offset the amounts due to it against the Trust Fund and the Trustee shall be authorized to sell Trust assets of the Trust Fund, or (ii) to put Company Stock
to the Company pursuant to Section 3.05 hereof to the extent necessary to obtain sufficient cash to pay such expenses. Any fee or expense paid directly or indirectly by the Company shall not be considered an Employer contribution to the
Trust, provided the fee or expense relates to the ordinary and necessary administration of the Trust |  | 8

be for no more than adequate consideration, as defined in Section 3(18) of ERISA. If there is no generally recognized market for Company Stock, adequate consideration shall mean the fair market value of such Company Stock,
determined in good faith by the Trustee. Pending such investment or application of cash, the Trustee may invest the cash in accordance with Article II hereof or may retain cash uninvested without liability for interest if it is prudent to act
in such a manner. |  | 8

|Sec.   6.03.                           |  | DUTIES OF RESIGNING OR REMOVED TRUSTEE AND OF SUCCESSOR TRUSTEE. If the Trustee resigns or is removed, it shall promptly transfer and deliver the assets of the Trust Fund to the
successor Trustee, and may reserve such amount to provide for the payment of all fees and expenses, or taxes then or thereafter chargeable against the Trust Fund, to the extent not previously paid by the Employers. The Employers shall be obligated
to reimburse the Trust for any amount reserved by the Trustee. Within sixty (60) days, the resigned or removed Trustee shall furnish to the Company and the successor Trustee an account of its administration of the Trust from the date of its last
account. Each successor Trustee shall succeed to the title to the Trust Fund vested in the predecessor Trustee without the signing or filing of any further instrument, but any resigning or removed Trustee shall execute all documents and do all acts
necessary to vest such title or record in any successor Trustee. Each successor Trustee shall have all the powers, rights and duties conferred by this Trust as if originally named Trustee. No successor Trustee shall be personally liable for any act
or failure to act of a predecessor Trustee, except as required by ERISA. With the approval of the Company or Committee, a successor Trustee may accept the account rendered and the property delivered to it by its predecessor Trustee as a full and
complete discharge to the predecessor Trustee without incurring any liability or responsibility for so doing |  | 11

MANAGEMENT AND CONTROL OF TRUST FUND

Sec. 2.01. TRUST FUND. The Trust Fund as of any date means all property of every kind held or acquired by the Trustee pursuant to this Trust. Trust Fund is also referred to as Trust assets. The
Trustee may manage, administer and invest all contributions made to the Trust by the Employer or Employers under the Plan as one Trust Fund. If, for any reason, it becomes necessary to determine the portion of the Trust Fund allocable to Employees
and former Employees of any Employer as of any date, the Committee (as defined inSection 2.02 herein) shall specify such date as an Accounting Date, and after all adjustments required under the Plan as of that Accounting Date have been
made, the portion of the Trust Fund attributable to such Employees and former Employees shall be determined and shall consist of an amount equal to the aggregate of the Account balances of Employees and former Employees of that Employer plus an
amount equal to any allocable contributions made by that Employer since the close of the immediately preceding Plan Year.

Sec. 2.02.
PLAN ADMINISTRATION. The Plan shall be administered by a Committee appointed by the Board of Directors of the Company. Except as provided in the Plan, Section 2.04 herein, and under ERISA, the Trustee shall have no authority to
act unless directed by the Committee. In the absence of a Committee, the Board of Directors of the Company, as Named Fiduciary assumes the powers, duties and responsibilities of the Committee. The Committee may authorize one or more individuals to
sign all communications between the Committee and Trustee. The Company shall at all times keep the Trustee advised of the names of the members of the Committee and individuals authorized to sign on behalf of the Committee, and provide specimen
signatures thereof. With the Trustees prior written consent, the Committee may authorize the Trustee to act, without specific directions or other directions or instructions from the Committee, on any matter or class of matters with respect to
which directions or instructions from the Committee are called for hereunder. The Trustee shall be fully protected in relying on any communication sent by any authorized person and shall not be required to verify the accuracy or validity of any
signature. If the Trustee requests any directions hereunder and does not receive them, the Trustee shall act or refrain from acting, as it may determine, with no liability for such action or inaction. Notwithstanding the provisions herein, the
Trustee: (i) shall act in accordance with its obligations under ERISA and the Plan; and (ii) is the sole discretionary fiduciary with respect to borrowing money for the purpose of purchasing employer securities and for the purchase or sale
of employer securities.

Sec. 2.03. EXERCISE OF TRUSTEES DUTIES. The Trustee shall discharge his duties hereunder solely in
the interest of Plan Participants and other persons entitled to benefits under the Plan, and:

(a) for the exclusive purpose of:

(i) providing benefits to Participants and other persons entitled to benefits under the Plan; and

(ii) defraying reasonable expenses of administering the Plan;

with such matters would use in the conduct of an enterprise of a like character and with like aims; and

(c) in accordance with the
documents and instruments governing the Plan unless, in the good faith judgment of the Trustee, the documents and instruments are not consistent with the provisions of the Code and ERISA.

Sec. 2.04. GENERAL POWERS. The Trustee has full discretion and authority with regard to the investment and reinvestment of the Trust Fund, except
with respect to a Trust Asset under the control or direction of an Investment Manager or Investment Advisor properly appointed by the Board of Directors of the Company or with respect to a Trust Asset properly subject to Employer or Committee
direction of investment. Subject to the provisions of Sections 2.02, 2.03 and 2.09 and Article III herein, with respect to the Trust Fund, the Trustee shall have, but shall not be limited to the following powers, rights and
duties in addition to those provided elsewhere in this Trust, the Plan or bylaw:

nationally recognized exchange with or without holding the underlying common stock, to buy and sell commodities, commodity options and contracts for the future delivery of commodities, and to make any other investments the Trustee deems appropriate,
as a prudent man would do under like circumstances with due regard for the purposes of the Plan. Any investment made or retained by the Trustee in good faith is proper but must be of a kind (with the exception of employer securities) constituting a

directed by the Committee after compliance with the Plan and applicable requirements of ERISA, as amended from time to time, or other applicable law, accompanied by a certification that the disposition is in accordance with the terms of the Plan and

performance of services by any one or more of the Indemnitees pursuant to this Agreement. The indemnification provided for in this Section 9.01 shall extend to: (a) any action taken or not taken by any of the Indemnities at the

indemnification provisions of this Section 9.01, including reasonable attorneys fees and court costs. However, these indemnification provisions shall not apply to the extent that any loss, cost, expense, or damage with respect to
which any of the Indemnitees shall seek indemnification is held by a court of competent jurisdiction, in a final judgment from which no appeal is taken, to have resulted either from the gross negligence of one or more of the Indemnitees or from the
willful misconduct of one or more of the Indemnitees.

(b) Defense of Actions.

(i) Notice and Assumption of Defense. If one or more of the Indemnitees receives notice of any legal proceeding with respect to
which indemnification may be sought against the Company pursuant to Section 9.01(a) (a Proceeding), the Indemnitees shall notify the Company of the Proceeding in writing within ten (10) days of the commencement of the
Proceeding. However, failure by the Indemnitees to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company from any liability, except to the extent that the failure to notify the Company shall actually have prejudiced the defense of any Proceeding. The
Company will be entitled to assume the defense of the Proceeding with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitees or to otherwise participate in the Proceeding. If the Company elects to assume the defense of the Proceeding, it then shall pay
all costs of defense.

(ii) Reimbursement of Expenses. The Company shall reimburse the Indemnitees for all reasonable
costs of investigation, of testifying at any hearing, of responding to discovery proceedings, and of consulting with the Company or the attorneys for the Company. The Indemnitees shall have the right to employ their own counsel in any Proceeding,
and the reasonable fees and reasonable expenses of the Indemnitees counsel shall be paid by the Company as they are incurred, if any one or more of the following conditions are satisfied:



| | (A) | The employment by the Indemnitees of their own counsel shall be authorized by the Company;
| | --- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (B) | The Indemnitees are advised by their counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to them which are different from or additional to defenses available to the
Company (in which case the Company shall not have the right to assume the defense of the Proceeding on behalf of the Indemnitees);
| | --- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

commencement of the Proceeding; or
| | --- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (F) | The Indemnitees shall be informed by their counsel that a conflict exists with the counsel selected by the Company.
| | --- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(c) Governmental Investigations. The provisions of this Section 9.01 shall apply if any governmental or private commission or
regulatory authority shall investigate any of the Indemnitees, or shall require any of the Indemnitees to testify at any hearing or in connection with any investigation, regarding the performance of services by the Indemnitees pursuant to this Trust
Agreement. Investigations covered by this Section 9.01shall include, but shall not be limited to, investigations conducted by any agency of the United States or of the legislature of any state, or by a stock exchange or other entity
having authority to investigate or regulate similar to that of a stock exchange. In the case of any investigation, the Indemnitees shall have the right to employ separate counsel to represent them, and the Company shall pay the reasonable fees and
expenses of the Indemnitees counsel as they are incurred. The Trustee agrees that it shall reasonably cooperate with the Company in connection with any investigation.

(d) Limitation. If a court of competent jurisdiction shall hold that any payment or award of indemnification pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement shall be unavailable to any one or more of the Indemnitees from the Company for any reason other than their gross negligence or willful misconduct, the Company then shall reimburse the affected Indemnitees, as required by
Section 9.01, but taking into account the basis for the denial of full indemnification by the court.

(e) Additional
Agreements. The Trustee and the Company may also enter into additional letter agreements further delineating the indemnification agreement of this Section 9.01, provided the letter agreement is consistent with and does not violate
ERISA and Texas law.

Sec. 9.02. LIMITATION ON LIABILITY - IF INVESTMENT MANAGER, INVESTMENT ADVISOR, ANCILLARY TRUSTEE OR INDEPENDENT

Investment Manager, Investment Advisor, custodian or ancillary trustee with respect to any part of the Trust Fund under the control of the Investment Manager, Investment Advisor, custodian or ancillary trustee.

The limitation on liability described in this Section 9.02 also applies to the acts or omissions of an ancillary trustee or independent
fiduciary properly appointed under Section 9.03 hereof. However, if a Trustee, pursuant to the delegation described in Section 9.03 hereof, appoints an ancillary trustee, the Trustee is responsible for the periodic review of
the ancillary trustees actions and must exercise its delegated authority in accordance with the terms of the Trust and in a manner consistent with ERISA. The Company, the Trustee and an ancillary trustee may execute a letter agreement as a
part of this Trust delineating any indemnification agreement between the parties.

Sec. 9.03. APPOINTMENT OF AN INVESTMENT MANAGER,
INVESTMENT ADVISOR OR AN ANCILLARY TRUSTEE. The Company, in writing, may appoint any person or trust company in any state to act as an Investment Manager, Investment Advisor or as an ancillary trustee with respect to a designated portion of the
Trust Fund. An Investment Manager, Investment Advisor or ancillary trustee must acknowledge in writing its acceptance of the terms and conditions of its appointment as an Investment Manager, Investment Advisor or as an ancillary trustee and its
fiduciary status under ERISA. The Investment Manager, Investment Advisor and ancillary trustee have the rights, powers, duties, and discretion as the Company may delegate, subject to any limitations or directions specified in the instrument
evidencing appointment of the Investment Manager, Investment Advisor or ancillary trustee and to the terms of the Trust or of ERISA. The investment powers delegated to the Investment Manager, Investment Advisor or to the ancillary trustee may
include any investment powers available under Section 2.04 or Section 3.03 hereof, including but not limited to, the right to invest or reinvest any portion of the assets of the Trust Fund in Company Stock and to invest or
reinvest any portion of the assets of the Trust Fund in a common trust fund, as described in Code Section 584, or in any collective investment fund, the provisions of which govern the investment of such assets and which the Trust incorporates
by this reference, but only if the Investment Manager, Investment Advisor or ancillary trustee is a bank or similar financial institution supervised by the United States or by a State and the ancillary trustee (or its affiliate, as defined in Code
Section 1504) maintains the common trust fund or collective investment fund exclusively for the collective investment of money contributed by the ancillary trustee (or its affiliate) in a trustee capacity and which conforms to the rules of the
Comptroller of the Currency.

The Investment Manager, Investment Advisor or ancillary trustee may resign its position at any time by
providing at least sixty (60) days advance written notice to the Company, unless the Company waives this notice requirement. The Company, in writing, may remove an Investment Manager, Investment Advisor or ancillary trustee at

any time. In the event of resignation or removal, the Company may appoint another Investment Manager, Investment Advisor or ancillary trustee, return the
assets to the control and management of the Trustee, or receive such assets in the capacity of the Investment Manager, Investment Advisor or ancillary trustee. The Company may delegate its responsibilities under this Section 9.03 herein
to the Trustee.

If the U.S. Department of Labor (the Department) requires engagement of an independent fiduciary to have
control or management of all or a portion of the Trust Fund, the Company will appoint such independent fiduciary, as directed by the Department. The independent fiduciary will have the duties, responsibilities, and powers prescribed by the
Department and will exercise those duties, responsibilities, and powers in accordance with the terms, restrictions, and conditions established by the Department and, to the extent not inconsistent with ERISA, the terms of the Plan. The independent
fiduciary must accept its appointment in writing and must acknowledge its status as a fiduciary of the Plan.

Sec. 9.04. PARTIES TO
LITIGATION. Except as otherwise provided by ERISA, no Participant or Beneficiary is a necessary party or is required to receive notice of process in any court proceeding involving the Plan, the Trust, the Trust Fund or any fiduciary of the Plan.
Any final judgment entered in any proceeding will be conclusive as to the parties over which the court entering the judgment has jurisdiction.

MISCELLANEOUS

Sec. 10.01. DISAGREEMENT AS TO ACTS. If there is a disagreement between the Trustee and anyone as to any act or transaction reported in any accounting, the Trustee shall have the right to have its own account
settled by a court of competent jurisdiction.

Sec. 10.02. PERSONS DEALING WITH TRUSTEE. No person dealing with the Trustee shall be
required to see to the application of any money paid or property delivered to the Trustee, or to determine whether or not the Trustee is acting pursuant to any authority granted to it under the Trust or the Plan.

Sec. 10.03. THIRD PARTY AND MULTIPLE TRUSTEES. No person dealing with the Trustee is obligated to see to the proper application of any money paid
or property delivered to the Trustee, or to inquire whether the Trustee has acted pursuant to any of the terms of the Trust and Plan. Each person dealing with the Trustee may act upon any notice, request or representation in writing by the Trustee,
or by the Trustees duly authorized agent, and is not liable to any person in so acting. The certificate of the Trustee that it is acting in accordance with the Trust and Plan will be conclusive in favor of any person relying on the
certificate. If more than two persons act as Trustee, a decision of the majority of such persons controls with respect to any decision regarding the administration or investment of the Trust Fund, or any portion of the Trust Fund with respect to
which such persons act as Trustee. However, the signature of only one Trustee is necessary to effect any transaction on behalf of the Trust.

enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision had never been inserted herein.

Sec. 10.09. SUCCESSORS. The Trust shall be binding

resolution of its Board of Directors or by a person or persons authorized by resolution of its Board of Directors. The Trustee shall not recognize or take notice of any appointment of any representative of the Company or Committee unless and until
the Company or the Committee shall have notified the Trustee in writing of such appointment and the extent of such representatives authority. The Trustee may assume that such appointment and authority continue in effect until it receives
written notice to the contrary from the Company or Committee. Any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Trustee by authority of any representative of the Company or Committee within the scope of his or her authority shall be as effective for
all purposes hereof as if such action or nonaction had been authorized by the Company or Committee.
