 Clear Channel
Communications, Inc. (“Company”) established the Clear Channel Communications, Inc. 401(k) Savings Plan (the “Plan”) effective January 1, 1987 and received a determination letter from the IRS dated May 20,
1988. Subsequently, the Plan was amended and restated (i) with a July 27, 1990 adoption date, (ii) with a August 15, 1994 adoption date (and received a favorable determination letter from the IRS dated January 7, 1995),
(iii) with a December 27, 1994 adoption date (and an amendment was made to such Plan effective January 1, 1997), (iv) effective July 1, 1999 (for certain legislative requirements and various plan design changes), and
(v) effective July 1, 1999 (for certain legislative requirements, to incorporate certain Plan amendments, and make other Plan design changes) (and an amendment was made to such Plan effective January 1, 2002 unless otherwise noted or
required by law). The Company received a favorable determination letter dated April 11, 2003 from the IRS regarding the continued qualified status of the Plan. 

The Company acquired (i) Metroplex/Robinson Broadcasting Company and merged the Metroplex/Robinson Broadcasting Company Thrift Incentive Plan into
the Plan effective on or about December 23, 1994 and (ii) U.S. Radio, Inc. and merged the U.S. Radio, Inc. 401(k) Plan into the Plan effective September 23, 1996. 

Subsequently, the Company acquired certain entities including Dame Media, Inc., Triumph Taxi Advertising, LLC, AMFM Inc., Eller Media Company (aka Clear
Channel Outdoor, Inc.), Spectacolor Media LLC, Universal Outdoor, Inc., The Ackerley Group Inc., WOKR-TV, WIXT-TV and MJI Broadcasting, Inc. In connection with such acquisitions, (i) Dame Media, Inc. Retirement Plan (“Dame Media
Plan”) was merged into the Plan effective December 1, 1999, (ii) Triumph Taxi Advertising, LLC 401(k) Plan (“Taxi Tops Plan”) was merged into the Plan effective June 1, 2001, (iii) AMFM Inc. 401(k)
Savings Plan (“AMFM Plan”) was merged into the Plan effective January 1, 2002, (iv) Clear Channel Outdoor, Inc. 401(k) Plan (“Outdoor Plan”) was merged into the Plan effective as of April 1, 2002 or
as soon as administratively feasible thereafter, (v) Spectacolor Media LLC Plan (“Spectacolor Plan”) was merged into the Plan effective as of July 1, 2002, (vi) Universal Outdoor, Inc. Profit Sharing and Savings Plan
(“Universal Plan”) and Evergreen Media Corporation 401(k) Plan (“Evergreen Plan”) were merged into the Plan effective December 30, 2002, (vii) the Ackerley Group, Inc. Savings and Retirement Plan
(“Ackerley Plan”) was merged into the Plan effective January 16, 2003, (viii) the WIXT-TV Savings and Retirement Plan (“WIXT Plan”) was merged into the Plan effective November 30, 2003, (ix) the
WOKR-TV 401(k) Profit Sharing & Savings Plan (“WOKR Plan”) was merged into the Plan effective March 31, 2004, and (x) the MJI Broadcasting, Inc. 401(k) Plan (“MJI Plan”) was merged into the Plan
effective June 30, 2004. 
 The Company previously amended and/or restated the Plan (including the Prior Plans, as required, and as
applicable, to maintain the tax-qualified status of each such Prior Plan), to comply with the qualification requirements of the Uruguay Round Agreements Act, the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act of 1994, the Small Business
Job Protection Act of 1996, the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997, the Internal Revenue Service Restructuring and Reform Act of 1998, and the Community Renewal Tax Relief Act of 2000 (collectively, “GUST”), and other provisions of the
Code, applicable statutes, regulations, and/or other IRS requirements. The Plan (including the Prior Plans, as necessary, and as applicable, to comply with certain qualification requirements) was also amended and restated to (i) comply

  

 - i - 








 
with the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001 (“EGTRRA”), (ii) incorporate and authorize certain amendments to the Plan since the last restatement of
the Plan, and (iii) make other desired plan design changes. 
 It should be noted that (i) the AMFM Plan and the Evergreen Plan were
previously restated for GUST under a separate plan document and such plans have received a favorable determination letter from the IRS regarding GUST, (ii) the Outdoor Plan was restated for GUST under a separate plan document and has a
determination letter application pending with the IRS, and (iii) the Spectacolor Plan and the Universal Plan were amended, as necessary to comply with GUST, by adopting the applicable GUST provisions under the Plan, effective January 1,
2002 or as required by GUST or applicable law, since the Spectacolor Plan and the Universal Plan were prototype plans still within their applicable GUST remedial amendment period. 

Furthermore, the Plan was previously amended to reflect that (i) the loan provisions under Article VIM of the Plan apply to the Universal Plan
and the Evergreen Plan, as applicable, effective as of January 1, 2002, and (ii) the minimum required distribution provisions under Section 9.04 of the Plan, as amended effective January 1, 2002, apply to the Universal Plan.

 The Plan was amended and restated effective January 1, 2003 to (i) incorporate amendments to the Plan since the last restatement of
the Plan, (ii) reflect the transfer of assets from the Ackerley Plan into the Plan effective January 16, 2003, and (iii) make other desired plan changes. This amended and restated version of the Plan was subsequently amended as
follows: (i) effective January 1, 2004, to permit Catch-Up Contributions to be made to the Plan and to amend related provisions of the Plan, (ii) effective January 1, 2005, to (a) update certain references in the Plan
document to “Clear Channel Worldwide,” (b) revise the Plan’s definitions of “Beneficiary” and “Earnings,” (c) revise certain hardship distribution, loan, and investment election provisions of the Plan,
(d) revise the Plan’s provisions regarding the distribution of excess deferrals from the Plan and the Plan’s nondiscrimination testing provisions, and (e) clarify the Plan’s distribution provisions with respect to a change
in employment status, (iii) effective March 28, 2005, to provide for rollover of certain mandatory distributions exceeding one thousand dollars ($1,000) to an individual retirement plan, (iv) effective September 1, 2005, to add
an “ESOP” stock bonus plan component to the Plan., and (v) effective January 1, 2008, revise the Plan’s provisions regarding special events that result in full vesting in plan contributions. 

The Plan was subsequently amended and restated, effective January 1, 2009 (except as provided herein or required by applicable law) as follows to:
(i) reflect certain IRS- and statutorily-required changes, (ii) reflect the mergers of the WIXT Plan, the WOKR Plan, and the MJI Plan into the Plan, (iiii) reflect, effective January 30, 2009, the wind-up of the employee stock
ownership portion of the Plan as a result of the July 30, 2008 sale of Clear Channel Communications, Inc. securities held by the Plan and the subsequent January 30, 2009 final distribution of dividends on such securities, (iv) clarify
certain provisions under the Plan, and (v) reflect recent actions taken by the Committee. This amended and restated version of the Plan was subsequently amended effective July 27, 2009, to provide for limitations on the investment by
members in the employer stock fund that holds Class A common shares of Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings, Inc. 
 All of the prior amendments
that have been made to the Plan since the enactment of EGTRRA are intended to evidence good faith compliance with the requirements of EGTRRA and other statutes and regulations with respect to which good faith amendments were required to be made on
or before December 31, 2009. 
  

 - ii - 








 By this instrument, the Company desires to hereby amend and restate the Plan generally effective
January 1, 2009, except as otherwise provided herein, to: (i) reflect the requirements of the Heroes Earnings Assistance and Relief Tax Act of 2008 that became effective on January 1, 2007, and January 1, 2009, and
(ii) reflect additional requirements of the Pension Protection Act of 2006 that became effective on January 1, 2008. The Company intends that this amendment and restatement of the Plan will continue to evidence its good faith compliance
with the provisions of EGTRRA. This amendment and restatement of the Plan will also serve as an amendment and restatement of each plan that has been merged into the Plan. 

The purposes of the Plan and the Trust established hereunder are to provide for deferred compensation and benefits for eligible employees through a
qualified profit sharing plan. The Plan is intended in all respects to be qualified under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

 ARTICLE I 

DEFINITIONS 
  

	1.01	“Accounts” means the Deferral Account, Employer Matching Account, Prior Plans Account, Prior Plans After-Tax Account, QNEC Account and Rollover
Account. 

  

	1.02	“Actual Deferral Percentage” means, with respect to a specified group of Employees, the average of the ratios, calculated separately for each Employee
in that group, of (a) the amount of Deferral Contributions made pursuant to Section 3.01 for a Plan Year (including Deferral Contributions returned to a Highly-Compensated Employee under Section 3.01 (c) and Deferral
Contributions returned to any Employee pursuant to Section 3.01 (d)), to (b) the Employee’s Statutory Compensation for that entire Plan Year, provided that, upon the direction of the Committee, Statutory Compensation for a Plan Year
shall only be counted if received during the period an Employee is, or is eligible to become, a Member. The Actual Deferral Percentage for each group and the ratio determined for each Employee in the group shall be calculated to the nearest one
one-hundredth of one percent (1%). For purposes of determining the Actual Deferral Percentage for a Plan Year, Deferral Contributions may be taken into account for a Plan Year only if they: 


 

	 	(a)	relate to compensation that either would have been received by the Employee in the Plan Year but for the deferral election, or are attributable to services performed by
the Employee in the Plan Year and would have been received by the Employee within two and one-half (2%) months after the close of the Plan Year but for the deferral election; 


 

	 	(b)	are allocated to the Employee as of a date within that Plan Year and the allocation is not contingent on the participation or performance of service after such date;
and 

  

	 	(c)	are actually paid to the Trustees no later than twelve (12) months after the end of the Plan Year to which the contributions relate. 


 

	1.03	“Affiliated Employer” means any entity which is a member of a controlled group of corporations (as defined in section 414(b) of the Code) which also
includes as a member the Company; any trade or business under common control (as defined in section 414(c) of the Code) with the Company; any organization (whether or not incorporated) which is a member of an affiliated service group (as defined in
section 414(m) of the Code) which includes the Company; and any other entity required to be aggregated with the Company pursuant to regulations under section 414(o) of the Code. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of Section 3.09
(regarding the limitations on annual additions), the definitions in sections 414(b) and (c) of the Code shall be modified by substituting the phrase “more than fifty percent (50%)” for the phrase “at least eighty percent
(80%)” each place it appears in section 1563(a)(1) of the Code. 

  

	1.04	“Annual Dollar Limit” means the annual compensation limit set forth in section 401(a)(17) of the Code, as adjusted from time to time for cost-of-living
increases in accordance with section 401(a)(17)(B) of the Code ($245,000 for 2009 and 2010). 

  

 - 1 - 









	1.05	“Beneficiary” means any person, persons or entity designated by a Member to receive any benefits payable in the event of the Member’s death. Each
such designation shall be made in accordance with procedures established by the Committee (or its delegate responsible for such matters). However, a married Member’s spouse (and, those persons identified in Appendix B to be treated the same as
a Member’s legal spouse, where applicable) shall be the Member’s Beneficiary unless or until he elects another Beneficiary with Spousal Consent. If no Beneficiary designation is in effect at the time of the Member’s death, or if no
person, persons or entity so designated survives the Member, the Member’s surviving spouse, if any, shall be deemed to be the Beneficiary; otherwise the Beneficiary shall be the Member’s estate. 


To the extent not prohibited by state or federal law, if a Member is divorced from his spouse and at the time of his death is not
remarried to the person from whom he was divorced, any designation of such divorced spouse as his Beneficiary under the Plan filed prior to the divorce shall be null and void after such divorce. 

The Beneficiary designation of each Member in effect under a Prior Plan on the date of the merger of such Prior Plan into the Plan shall
remain in effect under the Plan unless (a) the Member already has a Beneficiary designation in effect under the Plan, or (b) the Member executes a new Beneficiary designation in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. 

As of December 31, 2005, all previous Beneficiary designations that had been made by any non-electronic method are no longer valid
under the Plan. 
  

	1.06	“Board of Directors” means the Board of Directors of the Company. 


 

	1.07	“Break in Service” means, for vesting purposes, any Plan Year in which the employee does not complete more than five hundred (500) Hours of
Service. A Break in Service for eligibility purposes means a twelve (12) month period during which the Employee does not complete at least one (1) Hour of Service. For such eligibility purposes, a period of severance of less than twelve
(12) months shall be treated as a period of service in determining if the employee has incurred a Break in Service. A Break in Service shall not occur for eligibility and vesting purposes during an approved leave of absence or during a period
of military service which is included in the employee’s service credit pursuant to Sections 1.55 and 1.56.

has not satisfied such requirements, on the first Enrollment Date coinciding with or next following the month in which he satisfies the requirements set forth in Section 2.01 (a). 


 

	2.04	Termination of Membership 

 A
Member’s membership shall terminate on the date he is no longer employed by the Employer or any Affiliated Employer unless the Member is entitled to benefits (i.e., the Vested Portion of his Accounts) under the Plan, in which event his
membership shall terminate when those benefits are distributed to him.

 ARTICLE III 

CONTRIBUTIONS 
  

	3.01	Deferral Contributions 

  

	 	(a)	A Member may elect, subject to the provisions of Sections 3.01 (b) and (d) below, to have his subsequent Compensation reduced by at least one percent (1%),
but no more than twenty-five percent (25%), in increments of one percent (1%), and have that amount contributed as Deferral Contributions to the Plan by the Employer. Such election shall be effective with the first payroll period on or after the
date as of which the election is to apply or as soon as administratively practicable thereafter. 

 Any such
Deferral Contributions shall be paid to the Trustees as soon as practicable, but in no event later than the 15th business day of the month following the month in which the amounts would otherwise have been payable to the Member in cash. A
Member’s deferral election shall remain in force and effect for all periods following its effective date until modified or terminated or until such Member terminates his employment. Such election shall be subject to the policies and procedures
set forth in Appendix D, which may be amended from time to time without need for a formal amendment to the Plan. 
 As of
January 1, 2001, the automatic two percent (2%) reduction for Deferral Contributions under the Plan no longer applies. However, as of December 31, 2000, if a Member’s Compensation is being reduced automatically, without an
affirmative election of such reduction, by two percent (2%) pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.01 (a) as in effect prior to January 1, 2001, such automatic two percent (2%) reduction shall continue as though the Member
has made an affirmative election under this Section 3.01 (a) until such time as the Member elects otherwise. 
  

	 	(b)	In no event shall the Member’s Deferral Contributions and similar contributions made on his behalf by the Employer or an Affiliated Employer to all plans,
contracts or arrangements subject to the provisions of section 401(a)(30) of the Code in any calendar year exceed the limit set forth in section 402(g) of the Code ($16,500 for 2009 and 2010) (with such amount to be adjusted automatically to reflect
any cost-of-living adjustments authorized by section 402(g)(4) of the Code). If a Member’s Deferral Contributions in a calendar year reach that dollar limitation, his election of Deferral Contributions for the remainder of the calendar year
will be canceled. As of the first pay period of the calendar year following such cancellation, unless the Member elects otherwise in accordance with Section 3.04, the Member’s election of Deferral Contributions shall again become effective
in accordance with his previous election and pursuant to any policies and procedures established by the Committee regarding the cancellation and resumption of such Deferral Contributions, including those policies and procedures set forth in
Appendix D, which may be amended from time to time without need for a formal amendment to the Plan. 

  

	 	(c)	 In the event that the sum of the Deferral Contributions and similar contributions to any other qualified defined contribution plan maintained by the
Employer or an 


  

 - 15 - 









	 	
Affiliated Employer exceeds the dollar limitation in Section 3.01(b) for any calendar year, the Member shall be deemed to have notified the Employer of the excess deferral and shall be
deemed to have elected a return of Deferral Contributions in excess of such limit (“excess deferrals”) from this Plan. The excess deferrals, together with Earnings, shall be returned to the Member no later than the April 15
following the end of the calendar year in which the excess deferrals were made. The amount of excess deferrals to be returned for any calendar year shall be reduced by any Deferral Contributions previously returned to the Member under
Section 3.06 for that calendar year. In the event any Deferral Contributions returned under this Section 3.01(c) were matched by Employer Matching Contributions under Section 3.02, those Employer Matching Contributions, together with
Earnings, shall be (i) paid to the Member, if vested, or (ii) forfeited and used to reduce Employer contributions for such Plan Year or the next following Plan Year, if not vested. 


 

	 	(d)	If a Member makes tax-deferred contributions under another qualified defined contribution plan maintained by an employer other than the Employer or an Affiliated
Employer for any calendar year and those contributions when added to his Deferral Contributions exceed the dollar limitation under Section 3.01 (b) for that calendar year, the Member may allocate all or a portion of such excess deferrals
to this Plan. In that event, such excess deferrals, together with Earnings, shall be returned to the Member no later than the April 15 following the end of the calendar year in which such excess deferrals were made. However, the Plan shall not
be required to return excess deferrals unless the Member notifies the Committee, in writing, by March 1 of that following calendar year of the amount of the excess deferrals allocated to this Plan. The amount of any such excess deferrals to be
returned for any calendar year shall be reduced by any Deferral Contributions previously returned to the Member under Section 3.06 for that calendar year. In the event any Deferral Contributions returned under this Section 3.01
(d) were matched by Employer Matching Contributions under Section 3.02, those Employer Matching Contributions, together with Earnings, shall be (i) paid to the Member, if vested, or (ii) forfeited and used to reduce Employer
contributions for such Plan Year or the next following Plan Year, if not vested. 

  

	3.02	Employer Matching Contributions 


The Employer may contribute from time to time on behalf of each of its Members who elect to make Deferral Contributions (including
Catch-Up Contributions) an amount equal to a designated percent of the Deferral Contributions (including Catch-Up Contributions) made on behalf of the Member to the Plan during each payroll period. The designated percent of Deferral Contributions
(including Catch-Up Contributions) shall not exceed five percent (5%) of the Member’s Compensation for such payroll period and shall be determined by members of the Company’s management team. The Employer shall make a
“true-up” calculation and related adjustments with respect to Employer Matching Contributions at the end of the Plan Year as necessary, to ensure that all Members receive the full Employer Matching Contribution to which they are entitled
for such Plan Year. To the extent that Employer Matching Contributions are made with respect to Deferral Contributions (including Catch-Up Contributions) for only a portion of a Plan Year, a Member’s Compensation will not be prorated, in
accordance with Treasury Regulation section 1.401(a)(17)-1(b)(3)(iii)(B). 
  

 - 16 - 








 In no event, however, shall the Employer Matching Contributions pursuant to this
Section 3.02 exceed five percent (5%) of the Member’s Compensation while a Member with respect to a particular Plan Year. The Employer Matching Contributions are made expressly conditional on the Plan satisfying the provisions of
Sections 3.01, 3.06, and 3.07. If any portion of the Deferral Contributions to which the Employer Matching Contribution relates is returned to the Member under Sections 3.01, 3.06, and 3.07, the corresponding Employer Matching Contribution
shall be forfeited (if not vested) and if any amount of the Employer Matching Contribution is deemed an excess aggregate contribution under Section 3.07, such amount shall be forfeited (if not vested) in accordance with the provisions of that
Section. Otherwise, such amounts shall be distributed to the Member (if vested). Any amounts so forfeited shall be used to reduce Employer contributions for such Plan Year or for the next following Plan Year. The Employer Matching Contributions
shall be paid to the Trustees as soon as practicable. 
  

	3.03	Rollover Contributions 


With the permission of the Committee and without regard to any limitations on contributions set forth in this Article III, the Plan
may receive from an Employee, whether or not he has met the eligibility requirements for membership, in cash (or, in the case of Employer common stock, in kind), any amount previously received (or deemed to be received) by him from a qualified plan
described in section 401(a) of the Code. The Plan may receive such amount either directly from the Employee, from an individual retirement account or from a qualified plan in the form of a direct rollover. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Plan
shall not accept any amount unless such amount is eligible to be rolled over to a qualified trust in accordance with applicable law and the Employee provides evidence satisfactory to the Committee that such amount qualifies for rollover treatment.
Unless received by the Plan in the form of a direct rollover, the Rollover Contribution must be paid to the Trustees on or before the sixtieth (60th) day after the day it was received by the Employee. 

 

	3.04	Change in Contributions 


The percentages of Compensation designated by a Member under Section 3.01 shall automatically apply to increases and decreases in his
Compensation. A Member may change his election under Section 3.01 at any time by giving such advance Notice as the Committee shall prescribe, including those policies and procedures set forth in Appendix D, which may be amended from time
to time without need for a formal amendment to the Plan. The changed percentage shall become effective as soon as practicable following such Notice. 
  

	3.05	Suspension of Contributions 

  

	 	(a)	A Member may revoke his election under Section 3.01 by giving such advance Notice as the Committee shall prescribe, including those policies and procedures set
forth in Appendix D, which may be amended from time to time without need for a formal amendment to the Plan. The revocation shall become effective as soon as practicable following such Notice. 


 

	 	(b)	A Member who has revoked his election under Section 3.01 may apply to the Committee to resume having his Compensation reduced in accordance with Section 3.01
as soon as practicable following such Notice.

	3.06	Actual Deferral Percentage Test 


In further restriction of the Member’s elections provided in Section 3.01, it is specifically provided that one of the
“actual deferral percentage” tests set forth in section 401(k)(3) of the Code and IRS Regulation §1.401(k)-2(a) must be met in each Plan Year. Such testing shall utilize the “current year testing method” as such
term is defined in IRS Notice 98-1 for the Plan effective on and after January 1, 1997 and for Plan Years beginning on or after January 1, 2005, as such term is described in IRS Regulation §1.401(k)-2(a)(2)(ii). With respect to
the Dame Media Plan prior to its merger into the Plan, such testing shall utilize the “prior year testing method” as such term is defined in IRS Notice 98-1 effective on and after January 1, 1997. With respect to the Taxi Tops Plan
and the Universal Plan prior to their respective merger into the Plan, such testing shall utilize the “current year testing method” effective on and after January 1, 1999 for the Taxi Tops Plan and effective on and after
January 1, 1997 for the Universal Plan. 
 For future Plan Years beginning on or after January 1, 2006, the Plan shall
continue to use the current year testing method described above, unless it elects to change to the prior year method pursuant to IRS Regulation §1.401(k)-2(c). Any change in the use of the current year testing method or the prior year
testing method as such terms are defined in IRS Regulation §1.401(k)-(2)(a)(2)(ii) shall be made pursuant to an addendum to the Plan executed by the appropriate officer or designated employee of the Employer. 

The Committee may implement rules limiting the Deferral Contributions which may be made on behalf of some or all Highly-Compensated
Employees so that the limitation under this Section 3.06 is satisfied. If the Committee determines that the limitation under this Section 3.06 has been exceeded in any Plan Year, the following provisions shall apply: 

 

	 	(a)	The actual deferral ratio of the Highly-Compensated Employee with the highest actual deferral ratio shall be reduced to the extent necessary to meet the actual deferral
percentage test or to cause such ratio to equal the actual deferral ratio of the Highly-Compensated Employee with the next highest ratio. This process will be repeated until the actual deferral percentage test is passed. Each ratio shall be rounded
to the nearest one one-hundredth of one percent (1%) of the Member’s Statutory Compensation. The amount of Deferral Contributions made by each Highly-Compensated Employee in excess of the amount permitted under his revised deferral ratio
shall be added together. This total dollar amount of excess contributions (“excess contributions”) shall then be allocated to some or all Highly-Compensated Employees in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.06(b) below.


  

	 	(b)	The Deferral Contributions of the Highly-Compensated Employee with the highest dollar amount of Deferral Contributions shall be reduced by the lesser of (i) the
amount required to cause that Employee’s Deferral Contributions to equal the dollar amount of the Deferral Contributions of the Highly-Compensated Employee with the next highest dollar amount of Deferral Contributions, or (ii) an amount
equal to the total excess contributions. This procedure is repeated until all excess contributions are allocated. The amount of excess contributions allocated to a Highly-Compensated Employee, together with Earnings thereon, shall be distributed to
him in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.06(c) below. 

  

 - 18 - 









	 	(c)	The excess contributions, together with Earnings thereon, allocated to a Member shall be paid to the Member before the close of the Plan Year following the Plan Year in
which the excess contributions were made, and, to the extent practicable, within two and one-half (2 1/2) months of the close of the Plan Year in which the excess contributions were made. However, any excess contributions for any Plan Year shall be
reduced by any Deferral Contributions previously returned to the Member under Section 3.01 for that Plan Year. In the event any Deferral Contributions returned under this Section 3.06(c) were matched by Employer Matching Contributions,
such corresponding Employer Matching Contributions, with Earnings thereon, shall be (i) paid to the Member, if vested, or (ii) forfeited and used to reduce Employer contributions for such Plan Year or for the next following Plan Year, if
not vested. 

  

	3.07	Contribution Percentage Test 


In restriction of the Employer Matching Contributions provided under Section 3.02, it is specifically provided that one of the
“actual contribution percentage” tests set forth in section 401(m) of the Code and IRS Regulation §1.401(m)-2(a) must be met in each Plan Year. Such testing shall utilize the “current year testing method” as such
term is defined in IRS Notice 98-1 for the Plan effective on and after January 1, 1997 and for Plan Years beginning on or after January 1, 2005 as such term is described in IRS Regulation §1.401(m)-2(a)(2)(ii). With respect to
the Dame Media Plan prior to its merger into the Plan, such testing shall utilize the “prior year testing method” as such term is defined in IRS Notice 98-1 effective on and after January 1, 1997. With respect to the Taxi Tops Plan
and the Universal Plan prior to their respective merger into the Plan, such testing shall utilize the “current year testing method” effective on and after January 1, 1999 for the Taxi Tops Plan and effective on and after
January 1, 1997 for the Universal Plan. 
 For future Plan Years beginning on or after January 1, 2006, the Plan shall
continue to use the current year testing method described above, unless it elects to change to the prior year method pursuant to IRS Regulation §1.401(m)-2(c). Any change in the use of the current year testing method or the prior year
testing method as such terms are defined in IRS Regulation §1.401(m)-(2)(a)(2)(ii) shall be made pursuant to an addendum to the Plan executed by the appropriate officer or designated employee of the Employer. 

In performing the “actual contribution percentage” test in conformity with Section 401(m) of the Code and IRS Regulations
1.401(m)-2(a) as set forth above, Employer Matching Contributions with respect to Deferral Contributions made on behalf of Non-Highly-Compensated Employees shall not be taken into account under the actual contribution test to the extent such
Employer Matching Contributions exceed the greatest of (i) five percent (5%) of Compensation; (ii) the Non-Highly-Compensated Employees Deferral Contributions for the Plan Year; and (iii) the product of two times the Plan’s
representative matching rate on the Non-Highly-Compensated Employees Deferral Contributions for the Plan Year. For purposes of this Section 3.07, “representative matching rate” and “matching rate” shall have the meaning set
forth in Section 1.401(m)-2(a)(5)(ii). 
  

 - 19 - 








 If the Committee determines that the limitation under this Section 3.07 has been
exceeded in any Plan Year, the following provisions shall apply: 
  

	 	(a)	The actual contribution ratio of the Highly-Compensated Employee with the highest actual contribution ratio shall be reduced to the extent necessary to meet the test or
to cause such ratio to equal the actual contribution ratio of the Highly- Compensated Employee with the next highest actual contribution ratio. This process will be repeated until the actual contribution percentage test is passed. Each ratio shall
be rounded to the nearest one one-hundredth of one percent (1%) of a Member’s Statutory Compensation. The amount of Employer Matching Contributions made by or on behalf of each Highly-Compensated Employee in excess of the amount permitted
under his revised actual contribution ratio shall be added together. This total dollar amount of excess contributions (“excess aggregate contributions”) shall then be allocated to some or all Highly-Compensated Employees in
accordance with the provisions of Section 3.07(b) below. 

  

	 	(b)	The Employer Matching Contributions of the Highly-Compensated Employee with the highest dollar amount of such contributions shall be reduced by the lesser of
(i) the amount required to cause that Employee’s Employer Matching Contributions to equal the dollar amount of such contributions of the Highly- Compensated Employee with the next highest dollar amount of such contributions, or
(ii) an amount equal to the total excess aggregate contributions. This procedure is repeated until all excess aggregate contributions are allocated. The amount of excess aggregate contributions allocated to each Highly- Compensated Employee,
together with Earnings thereon, shall be distributed or forfeited in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.07(c) below. 

  

	 	(c)	Excess aggregate contributions allocated to a Highly-Compensated Employee under Section 3.07(b) above shall be distributed or forfeited as follows: so much of the
Employer Matching Contributions, together with Earnings, as shall be necessary to equal the excess aggregate contributions shall be reduced, with the vested Employer Matching Contributions, together with applicable Earnings, being paid to the Member
and the Employer Matching Contributions which are forfeitable under the Plan, together with applicable Earnings, being forfeited and applied to reduce Employer contributions for such Plan Year or for the next following Plan Year.


  

	 	(d)	Any repayment or forfeiture of excess aggregate contributions shall be made before the close of the Plan Year following the Plan Year for which the excess aggregate
contributions were made, and to the extent practicable, any repayment or forfeiture shall be made within two and one-half (2 1/2) months of the close of the Plan Year in which the excess aggregate contributions were made. 


 

	3.08	Additional Discrimination Testing Provisions 

  

	 	(a)	 If any Highly-Compensated Employee is a member of another qualified plan of the Employer or an Affiliated Employer, or any qualified plan which must be
mandatorily disaggregated under section 410(b) of the Code, under which deferred cash contributions or matching contributions are made on behalf of the Highly-Compensated Employee or under which the Highly-Compensated



  

 - 20 - 









	 	
Employee makes after-tax contributions, the Committee shall implement rules, which shall be uniformly applicable to all employees similarly situated, to take into account all such contributions
for the Highly-Compensated Employee under all such plans in applying the limitations of Sections 3.06 and 3.07. If any other such qualified plan has a plan year other than the Plan Year defined in Section 1.39, the contributions to be
taken into account in applying the limitations of Sections 3.06 and 3.07 will be those made in the plan years ending with or within the same calendar year. 


 

	 	(b)	In the event that this Plan is aggregated with one or more other plans to satisfy the requirements of sections 401(a)(4) and 410(b) of the Code (other than for
purposes of the average benefit percentage test) or if one or more other plans is aggregated with this Plan to satisfy the requirements of such sections of the Code, then the provisions of Sections 3.06 and 3.07 shall be applied by determining
the Actual Deferral Percentage and Contribution Percentage of employees as if all such plans were a single plan. If this Plan is permissively aggregated with any other plan or plans for purposes of satisfying the provisions of section 401(k)(3)
of the Code, the aggregated plans must also satisfy the provisions of sections 401(a)(4) and 410(b) of the Code as though they were a single plan. Plans may be aggregated under this Section 3.08(b) only if they have the same plan year and
utilize the same testing method (i.e., the current year or prior year testing methods) under Sections 3.06 and 3.07. 

  

	 	(c)	The Employer may elect to use Deferral Contributions to satisfy the test described in Section 3.07, provided that the test described in Section 3.06 is met
prior to such election, and continues to be met following the Employer’s election to shift the application of those Deferral Contributions from Section 3.06 to 3.07. 


 

	 	(d)	The Employer may authorize that special “qualified nonelective contributions” shall be made for a Plan Year, which shall be allocated in such amounts
and to such Members, who are not Highly-Compensated Employees, as the Committee shall determine. In addition, the Employer may authorize special qualified nonelective contribution amounts as necessary to rectify any qualification error in accordance
with any voluntary correction programs promulgated by the IRS. The Committee shall establish such separate account(s) as may be necessary. Qualified nonelective contributions shall be one hundred percent (100%) nonforfeitable when made. Any
qualified nonelective contributions and any earnings credited on any qualified nonelective contributions after such date shall only be available for withdrawal under the provisions of Section 7.02. Qualified nonelective contributions made for
the Plan Year may be used to satisfy the tests described in Sections 3.06 and 3.07, where necessary. Any QNEC Contributions taken into account under the Actual Deferral Percentage Test or the Contribution Percentage Test described in
Section 3.06 or 3.07 shall meet the following requirements: 

  

	 	(i)	The QNEC Contribution is allocated to the Member’s QNEC Account as of a date within that year used for purposes of performing the Actual Deferral Percentage Test
or the Contribution Percentage Test. 

  

	 	(ii)	The QNEC Contribution (regardless of whether the QNEC Contribution is taken into account for purposes of satisfying the Actual Deferral Percentage Test or the
Contribution Percentage Test) shall satisfy the requirements of Code Section 401(a)(4). 

  

 - 21 - 









	 	(iii)	QNEC Contributions shall not be taken into account for a Plan Year for any Member who is a Nonhighly-Compensated Employee to the extent that such QNEC Contributions
exceed the product of that Nonhighly-Compensated Employee’s compensation and the greater of 5% or two times the Plan’s representative contribution rate as determined under IRS Regulation §1.401(k)-2(a)(4).


  

	 	(e)	Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, if employees included in a unit of employees covered by a collective bargaining agreement are participating
in the Plan and not more than two percent (2%) of such employees are Highly-Compensated Employees and professionals, then such employees shall be disregarded in applying the provisions of Section 3.06 and 3.07 and a separate actual
deferral percentage test must be performed for such group of collective bargaining employees on the basis that those employees are included in a separate cash-or-deferred arrangement. 


 

	 	(f)	For Plan Years commencing on and after January 1, 1999, if the Employer elects to apply the provisions of section 410(b)(4)(B) of the Code to satisfy the
requirements of section 401(k)(3)(A)(i) of the Code, the Employer shall apply the provisions of Sections 3.06 and 3.07 by excluding from consideration all eligible employees (other than Highly-Compensated Employees) who have not met the
minimum age and service requirements of section 410(a)(l)(A) of the Code. 

  

	3.09	Maximum Annual Additions 

  

	 	(a)	No benefit shall be payable to a Member or Beneficiary in excess of the benefit permitted to be paid under section 415 of the Code and IRS Regulations issued
thereunder, the terms of which are incorporated by reference herein, as may be modified by this Section 3.09. For purposes of computing the limitation under section 415 of the Code, compensation for any calendar year shall mean the
Member’s Statutory Compensation from all Employers for the calendar year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for limitation years commencing prior to July 1, 2007, Statutory Compensation taken into account for purposes of the limitation upon
Plan benefits set forth in section 415 of the Code and the IRS Regulations issued thereunder was not limited by the dollar limitation set forth in section 401(a)(17) of the Code. Accordingly, the balance in a Member’s Accounts shall not be less
than the balance in his Accounts as of December 31, 2007, and for purposes of computing such Accounts as of December 31, 2007, the Member’s Statutory Compensation prior to January 1, 2008, taken into account for purposes of the
section 415 limitation shall not be limited by the dollar limitation set forth in section 401(a)(17) of the Code. 

  

	 	(b)	For purposes of this Section, the “annual additions” to a Member’s Accounts under this Plan or any other qualified defined contribution plan
(without regard to whether such plan has been terminated, and as aggregated pursuant to IRS Regulation § 1.415(f)-1) maintained by the Employer or an Affiliated Employer shall have the meaning prescribed by IRS Regulation § 1.415(c)-1(b)
and -1(f). For purposes of this Section, the “limitation year” shall be the Plan Year. 

  

 - 22 - 









	 	(c)	Effective for limitation years beginning before July 1, 2007, if the annual addition to a Member’s Accounts for any limitation year, prior to the application
of the limitation set forth in Section 3.09(a) above, exceeds that limitation due to a reasonable error in estimating a Member’s annual compensation or in determining the amount of Deferral Contributions that may be made with respect to a
Member under section 415 of the Code, or as the result of the allocation of forfeitures or due to such other circumstances as may be specified by the Secretary of the Treasury, the amount of contributions credited to the Member’s Accounts in
that Plan Year shall be adjusted to the extent necessary to satisfy that limitation in accordance with the following order of priority: 

  

	 	(i)	The Member’s unmatched Deferral Contributions under Section 3.01 shall be reduced to the extent necessary. The amount of the reduction shall be returned to
the Member together with any earnings on the contributions to be returned. 

  

	 	(ii)	The Member’s matched Deferral Contributions and corresponding Employer Matching Contributions shall be reduced to the extent necessary. The amount of the reduction
attributable to the Member’s matched Deferral Contributions shall be returned to the Member together with any earnings on those contributions to be returned, and the amount attributable to the Employer Matching Contributions shall be
(A) paid to the Member, if vested, or (B) forfeited and used to reduce Employer contributions for such Plan Year or for the next following Plan Year, if not vested. 


Any Deferral Contributions returned to a Member under this Section 3.09(d) shall be disregarded in applying the dollar limitation on
Deferral Contributions under Section 3.01(b), and in performing the Actual Deferral Percentage Test under Section 3.06. 
  

	 	(d)	Notwithstanding any provision above regarding the Actual Deferral Percentage Test and the Contribution Percentage Test described in sections 3.06 and 3.07,
respectively, for Plan years commencing on and after January 1, 2005, the mandatory disaggregation rules relating to IRC Section 401(k) plans and IRC Section 401(m) plans set forth in 1.410(b)-7(c)(l) shall not apply for purposes of
this Section 3.09. 

  

	3.10	Return of Contributions 

  

	 	(a)	If all or part of the Employer’s deductions for contributions to the Plan are disallowed by the IRS, the portion of the contributions to which that disallowance
applies shall be returned to the Employer without interest but reduced by any investment loss attributable to those contributions, provided that the contribution is returned within one (1)year after the disallowance of deduction. For this purpose,
all contributions made by the Employer are expressly declared to be conditioned upon their deductibility under section 404 of the Code. 

  

	 	(b)	The Employer may recover without interest the amount of its contributions to the Plan made on account of a mistake of fact, reduced by any investment loss attributable
to those contributions, if recovery is made within one (1)year after the date of those contributions. 

  

 - 23 - 









	 	(c)	In the event that Deferral Contributions made under Section 3.01 are returned to the Employer in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.10, the
elections to reduce Compensation which were made by Members on whose behalf those contributions were made shall be void retroactively to the beginning of the period for which those contributions were made. The Deferral Contributions so returned
shall be distributed in cash to those Members for whom those contributions were made; provided, however, that if the contributions are returned under the provisions of Section 3.10(a) above, the amount of Deferral Contributions to be
distributed to Members shall be adjusted to reflect any investment gains or losses attributable to those contributions. 

  

	3.11	Contributions Not Contingent Upon Profits 


The Employer may make contributions to the Plan without regard to the existence or the amount of current and accumulated earnings and
profits. 
  

	3.12	Contributions During Period of Military Leave 

  

	 	(a)	Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, contributions, benefits and service credit with respect to qualified military service will be provided in
accordance with section 414(u) of the Code. Without regard to any limitations on contributions set forth in this Article III, a Member, who is reemployed on or after August 1, 1990 and is credited with Vesting Service under the provisions
of Section 1.55(b) because of a period of service in the uniformed services of the United States, may elect to contribute to the Plan the Deferral Contributions that could have been contributed to the Plan in accordance with the provisions of
the Plan had he remained continuously employed by the Employer throughout such period of absence (“make-up contributions”). The amount of make-up contributions shall be determined on the basis of the Member’s Compensation in
effect immediately prior to the period of absence, and the terms of the Plan at such time. Any Deferral Contributions so determined shall be limited as provided in Sections 3.01(b), 3.06, and 3.07 with respect to the Plan Year or Years to which such
contributions relate rather than the Plan Year in which payment is made. In addition, a Member’s make-up contributions under this Section 3.12(a) may be reduced to the extent that the Member made contributions to the Plan from any military
differential pay received from the Employer during a period of military service, in accordance with all applicable requirements of section 414(u) of the Code. Any payment to the Plan described in this Section 3.12(a) shall be made during the
applicable repayment period. The repayment period shall equal three (3) times the period of absence, but not longer than five (5) years and shall begin on the latest of: (i) the Member’s date of reemployment,
(ii) October 13, 1996, or (iii) the date the Employer notifies the Employee of his rights under this Section 3.12. Earnings (or losses) on make-up contributions shall be credited commencing with the date the make-up contribution
is made in accordance with the provisions of Article IV. 

  

	 	(b)	 With respect to a Member who makes the election described in Section 3.12(a) above, the Employer shall make Employer Matching Contributions on the
make

up contributions in the amount described in the provisions of Section 3.02, as in effect for the Plan Year to which such make-up contributions relate. Employer Matching Contributions under
this Section 3.12(b) shall be made during the period described in Section 3.12(a) above. Earnings (or losses) on Employer Matching Contributions shall be credited commencing with the date the contributions are made in accordance with the
provisions of Article IV. Any limitations on Employer Matching Contributions described in Sections 3.02, 3.06, and 3.07 shall be applied with respect to the Plan Year or Years to which such contributions relate rather than the Plan Year or
Years in which payment is made. 

  

	 	(c)	All contributions under this Section are considered “annual additions,” as defined in section 415(c)(2) of the Code, and shall be limited in accordance
with the provisions of Section 3.09 with respect to the Plan Year or Years to which such contributions relate rather than the Plan Year in which payment is made. 


 

	3.13	Catch-Up Contributions 


All Employees, who are eligible to make elective deferrals under this Plan and who have attained age fifty (50) or who will attain
age fifty (50) by the close of the Plan Year, shall be eligible to make Catch-up Contributions pursuant to this Section 3.13 and in accordance with, and subject to, the limitations of section 414(v) of the Code and the final
regulations issued thereunder. A Member may make Catch-Up Contributions when his Deferral Contributions exceed any of the following limits: 
  

	 	(a)	An employer-provided limit: Those limits established under the Plan by the Company, such as the limit set forth in Section 3.01 (a);


  

	 	(b)	A statutory limit: Those limits established pursuant to the Code such as (i) limits on elective deferrals under section 402(g) of the Code (as set forth in
Sections 3.01(b), 3.01(c), and 3.01(d)), or (ii) the statutory limit on annual additions under section 415 of the Code (as set forth in Section 3.09(a)); or 


 

	 	(c)	The actual deferral percentage limit: The actual deferral percentage limit determined pursuant to section 401(k)(3) of the Code (as set forth in
Section 3.06). 

 All catch-up eligible plans of the Company and Affiliated Employers shall provide for
catch-up contributions in accordance with the provisions of section 414(v) of the Code and the final regulations issued thereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following employees shall not be eligible to make catch-up contributions:
(i) those employees covered by a collective bargaining agreement unless such collective bargaining agreement provides for the making of catch-up contributions by such employees under an eligible plan of the Company or an Affiliated Employer,
provided, however, that those employees covered by a collective bargaining unit and/or employed in a position covered by a collective bargaining agreement specified in Appendix A shall nonetheless be eligible to make catch-up contributions under the
Plan, and (ii) those employees under any union sponsored plans contributed to by the Company or an Affiliated Employer unless catch-up contributions are specifically provided for in such union-sponsored plans. 

 

 - 25 - 








 Catch-Up Contributions shall be made pursuant to administrative procedures promulgated by
the Committee (or its delegatee). Such procedures shall provide that Catch-Up Contributions will be subject to a “withholding hierarchy” for purposes of determining the amount of Catch-Up Contributions that may be contributed on behalf of
a Member. The Committee (or its delegatee) shall determine the order of withholdings taken from a Member’s Compensation (e.g., for federal, state and local taxes, social security, wage garnishments, welfare plan contributions, 401(k)
deferrals, and similar withholdings) and Catch-Up Contributions shall be subject to such withholding hierarchy. As a result, Catch-Up Contributions may be effectively limited to Compensation available after the application of such withholding
hierarchy. 
 Catch-Up Contributions shall not be subject to (i) the limits on elective deferrals under section 402(g)
of the Code (as set forth in Sections 3.01(b), 3.01(c), and 3.01(d)), (ii) the actual deferral percentage limit under section 401(k)(3) of the Code (as set forth in Section 3.06), or (iii) the limits on annual additions
under section 415 of the Code (as set forth in Section 3.09(a)). Similarly, Catch-Up Contributions are not taken into account for purposes of sections 410(b) or 416 of the Code; however, Catch-Up Contributions made in prior Plan Years will
be taken into account in determining whether the Plan is top-heavy for the Plan Year pursuant to Section 13.06. Except as otherwise stated herein, Catch-Up Contributions shall be treated as Deferral Contributions for all purposes under the
Plan.

be forfeited until the earlier of (i) the date the Member’s number of consecutive one-year Breaks in Service equals or exceeds the greater of five (5) years or the Member’s total number of Years of Vesting Service before
his Break in Service, or (ii) the date the Member receives a distribution of the Vested Portion of his Accounts, if earlier. If the former Member is not reemployed by the Employer or an Affiliated Employer before he has a period of Break in
Service described in the preceding sentence or receives such a distribution, the non-vested portion of his Employer Matching Account shall be forfeited. Any amounts forfeited pursuant to this Section 6.03(a) shall be applied to reduce Employer

deemed to have repaid such distribution upon his reemployment. 

  

	 	(c)	In the event that any amounts to be restored by the Employer to a Member’s Employer Matching Account have been forfeited under Section 6.03(a) above, those
amounts shall be taken first from any forfeitures which have not as yet been applied against Employer Matching Contributions and if any amounts remain to be restored, the Employer shall make a special Employer contribution equal to those amounts.

	7.03	Hardship Withdrawal 

  

	 	(a)	A Member who has withdrawn the total amount available for withdrawal under Sections 7.01 and 7.02 may, subject to Section 7.04, elect to withdraw all or part
of the Deferral Contributions (including Catch-Up Contributions) made on his behalf to his Deferral Account upon furnishing proof of hardship satisfactory to the Committee. 


 

	 	(b)	A Member shall be considered to have incurred a hardship if, and only if, he meets the requirements of Sections 7.03(c) and (d) below. 


 

	 	(c)	As a condition for hardship there must exist with respect to the Member an immediate and heavy financial need to draw upon his Deferral Contributions (including
Catch-Up Contributions). The Committee shall presume the existence of such immediate and heavy financial need if the requested withdrawal is on account of any of the following: 


 

	 	(i)	expenses for medical care described in section 213(d) of the Code previously incurred by the Member, his spouse or any of his dependents (as defined in section 152 of
the Code but without regard to Section 152(d)(l)(B) of the Code) or necessary for those persons to obtain such medical care; 

  

	 	(ii)	costs directly related to the purchase of a principal residence of the Member (excluding mortgage payments); 


 

	 	(iii)	payment of tuition and related educational fees, and room and board expenses, for the next twelve (12) months of post-secondary education of the Member, his

Section 152(d)(l)(B) of the Code); 

  

	 	(vi)	expenses for the repair of damages to the Member’s principal residence that would qualify for the casualty deduction under section 165 of the Code (determined
without regard to whether the loss exceeds ten percent (10%) of the Participant’s adjusted gross income); and 

  

	 	(vii)	the inability of the Member to meet such other expenses, debts or other obligations recognized by the IRS as giving rise to immediate and heavy financial need for
purposes of section 401(k) of the Code. 

  

	 	(d)	As a condition for hardship, the Member must demonstrate that the requested withdrawal is necessary to satisfy the financial need described in Section 7.03(c). To
demonstrate such necessity, the Member must request, on such form as the Committee shall prescribe, that the Committee make its determination of the necessity for the withdrawal solely on the basis of his application. In that event, the Committee
shall make such determination, provided all of the following requirements are met: 

  

	 	(i)	the Member has obtained all distributions, other than distributions available only on account of hardship, and all nontaxable loans currently available under all plans
of the Employer and Affiliated Employers, but any loan need not be taken which would have the effect of (A) increasing the hardship, or (B) disqualifying the Member from being eligible to receive a mortgage on a home in the event the
hardship is for the purchase of a home; and 

  

	 	(ii)	the Member is prohibited from making deferral contributions and any after-tax contributions, as applicable, to the Plan and all other qualified retirement plans of the
Employer and Affiliated Employers under the terms of such plans or by means of an otherwise legally enforceable agreement for a period following the date of such withdrawal of six (6) months. 


 

	7.04	Procedures and Restrictions 


To make a withdrawal, a Member shall give such advance Notice as the Committee shall prescribe. A withdrawal shall be made as soon as
administratively practicable following such Notice. If a loan and a hardship withdrawal are processed as of the Valuation Date, the amount available for the hardship withdrawal will equal the Vested Portion of the Member’s Accounts on such
Valuation Date reduced by the amount of the loan. The amount of the withdrawal shall be allocated between the Investment Funds in proportion to the value of the Member’s Accounts from which the withdrawal is made in each Investment Fund as of
the date of the withdrawal. Subject to the provisions of Section 9.07, all payments to Members under this Article shall be made in cash as soon as practicable. Payments made to Members pursuant to Section 7.03 shall not be considered
“eligible rollover distributions” subject to the provisions of Section 9.07.

 ARTICLE VIII 

LOANS TO MEMBERS 
  

	8.01	Amount Available 

  

	 	(a)	A Member who is an employee of the Employer or an Affiliated Employer may borrow, on written application to the Committee and on approval by the Committee under such
uniform rules as it shall adopt, an amount which, when added to the outstanding balance of any other loans to the Member from this Plan or any other qualified plan of the Employer or Affiliated Employer, including any accrued but unpaid interest on
any deemed loan distribution, does not exceed the lesser of: 

  

	 	(i)	Fifty percent (50%) of the Vested Portion of his Accounts; or 

  

	 	(ii)	Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) reduced by the excess, if any, of (A) the highest outstanding balance of loans to the Member from such plans during the one year
period ending on the day before the day the loan is made, over (B) the outstanding balance of loans to the Member from such plans on the date on which the loan is made. 


 

	 	(b)	The interest rate to be charged on loans shall be determined at the time of the loan application and shall be one percent (1%) above the prime rate as reported in
the Wall Street Journal for the last business day of the quarter preceding the calendar quarter in which the loan is processed unless such rate is not “reasonable” within the meaning of ERISA, in which case a reasonable rate of interest
shall be used. The interest rate so determined for purposes of the Plan shall be fixed for the duration of each loan. 

  

	 	(c)	The amount of the loan is to be transferred from the Investment Funds in which the Member’s Accounts are invested to a special “loan fund” for the Member
under the Plan. The loan fund consists solely of the amount transferred to the loan fund and is invested solely in the loan made to the Member. The amount transferred to the loan fund shall be pledged as security for the loan. Payments of principal
on the loan will reduce the amount held in the Member’s loan fund. Those payments, together with the attendant interest payment, will be reinvested in the Investment Funds in accordance with the Member’s then effective investment election.


  

	8.02	Terms 

  

	 	(a)	In addition to such rules and regulations as the Committee may adopt, all loans shall comply with the following terms and conditions: 


 

	 	(i)	An application for a loan by a Member shall be made in accordance with the rules established by the Committee; 


 

	 	(ii)	Each loan shall be evidenced by a promissory note payable to the Plan; 


 

 - 37 - 









	 	(iii)	The period of repayment for any loan shall be determined by the Member, but that period shall not exceed five (5) years unless the loan is to be used in
conjunction with the purchase of the principal residence of the Member, in which case the period of repayment shall not exceed fifteen (15) years. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event a Member enters the uniformed services of the United
States and retains reemployment rights under the law, loan repayments shall be suspended during the period of leave, and the period of repayment shall be extended by the number of months of the period of service in the uniformed services; provided
that interest shall continue to accrue on the unpaid balance of the loan during such leave in accordance with the terms of the loan provided, and further that if the Member incurs a termination of employment and requests a distribution pursuant to
Article IX, the loan shall be canceled, and the outstanding loan balance shall be distributed pursuant to Article IX. For leaves other than qualified military leaves, alternative arrangements for repayment may apply in the event that the borrower is
on an unpaid leave of absence for a period not to exceed one (1) year. 

  

	 	(iv)	Payments of principal and interest will be made by payroll deductions in substantially level amounts, but no less frequently than quarterly, in an amount sufficient to
amortize the loan over the repayment period; 

  

	 	(v)	A loan may be prepaid in full as of any date without penalty; 

  

	 	(vi)	Only one (1) loan may be outstanding at any time under all plans maintained by the Company and all Affiliated Employers, and a new loan may not be made until at
least thirty-one (31) days after repayment of such outstanding loan is completed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a second loan may be made in conjunction with the purchase of the principal residence of a Member. Further, if a Member has one or
more outstanding loans transferred or rolled into the Plan due to a plan merger or acquisition-related asset transfer, such loan(s) shall not be treated as violating the requirements of this Section 8.02(a)(vi), but shall be included in
determining whether the Member is eligible to apply for a loan under this Plan. 

 Under this
Section 8.02(a)(vi), a defaulted loan shall be treated as an outstanding loan. A Member, who defaults on a loan pursuant to this Article VIII and who desires to obtain a subsequent loan, will be required to repay the amount of the
defaulted loan, plus interest thereon, prior to obtaining such subsequent loan; 
  

	 	(vii)	The minimum loan amount shall be One Thousand Dollars ($1,000); 

  

	 	(viii)	A loan processing fee and annual maintenance fee may be charged by the Plan, as determined by the Committee; and 


 

	 	(ix)	Upon termination of employment, full repayment of any outstanding loan must be made to avoid default. 


 

 - 38 - 








 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8.02(a), in the event that a
Member takes a distribution from his vested Accounts under Article IX in connection with a severance from employment related to his performance of service in the uniformed services, and such Member has an outstanding loan under this
Section 8.02, such Member will only be entitled to receive a total distribution amount that is equal to the vested portion of such Member’s Accounts, minus the total amount of such outstanding loan (his “Net Account
Balance”). Such Member’s outstanding loan will be deemed to have been repaid as of the date of a distribution of the Member’s vested Account balance that is equal to his Net Account Balance. If a Member elects to take a
distribution under the provisions of Article IX that is less than his Net Account Balance, the Member will not be required to repay his loan in full at the time of the distribution and loan repayments will continue to be suspended in accordance with
section 414(u) of the Code; provided, however, that such Member will not be entitled to withdraw the remaining vested portion of his Account balance until all outstanding loan amounts have been repaid to the Plan. 

 

	 	(b)	If a loan is not repaid in accordance with the terms contained in the promissory note and a default occurs, the Plan may execute upon its security interest in the
Member’s Accounts under the Plan to satisfy the debt; however, the Plan shall not levy against any portion of the loan fund attributable to amounts held in the Member’s Deferral Account, Employer Matching Account, Prior Plans Account, or
QNEC Account until such time as a distribution of the Deferral Account, Employer Matching Account, Prior Plans Account, or QNEC Account could otherwise be made under the Plan. A default in any other event may be deemed a taxable distribution to the
Member in accordance with the Committee’s rules. 

  

	 	(c)	Any additional rules or restrictions as may be necessary to implement and administer the loan program shall be in writing and communicated to employees. Such further
documentation is hereby incorporated into the Plan by reference, and the Committee is hereby authorized to make such revisions to these rules as it deems necessary or appropriate, on the advice of counsel. 


 

	 	(d)	To the extent required by law and under such rules as the Committee shall adopt, loans shall also be made available on a reasonably equivalent basis to any Beneficiary
or former Employee (i) who maintains an account balance under the Plan and (ii) who is still a party-in-interest (within the meaning of section 3(14)of ERISA). 


 

	 	(e)	For any employee of an entity which is acquired by the Employer in either an asset or a stock transaction and who (i) becomes a Member in accordance with the
provisions of Section 2.01, (ii) has a nondefaulted loan balance in the acquired entity’s qualified profit sharing or stock bonus plan on the closing date of the acquisition, and (iii) elects to make a direct rollover of his
account balance from that plan to this Plan, this Plan will accept as part of that rollover the promissory note representing such loan and the Employer, Plan and the Member agree to continue the repayment in accordance with the terms of such note,
provided such action complies with the requirements of the Code at the date of rollover.

 ARTICLE IX 

DISTRIBUTION OF ACCOUNTS UPON 

TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT 
  

	9.01	Eligibility 

 Upon a
Member’s termination of employment (including Disability), the Vested Portion of his Accounts, as determined under Article VI, shall be distributed as provided in this Article. A Member’s change in status from an Employee to a Leased
Employee shall not be a termination of employment under this Section 9.01. 
  

	9.02	Forms of Distribution 

  

	 	(a)	Distribution of the Vested Portion of a Member’s Accounts shall be made to the Member (or to his Beneficiary, in the event of death) in a cash lump sum or in the
form of a Direct Rollover pursuant to Section 9.07 (or in a combination of a cash lump sum payment or Direct Rollover). In the alternative (and subject to the Direct Rollover right under Section 9.07), to the extent a Member’s
Accounts are invested in the Investment fund for Employer common stock, a Member may elect to receive all or a portion of the Employer common stock held in such Investment fund for his Accounts, as part of the distribution. The minimum stock
distribution shall be one hundred (100) shares or the total number of shares held for the Employee, if less, and any fractional shares shall be paid in cash. 


 

	 	(b)	Notwithstanding the preceding, if a Member dies before his benefits commence, the Vested Portion of his Accounts shall be paid to his Beneficiary in a cash lump sum.


  

	 	(c)	For purposes of this Article, a Member’s employment shall be deemed to terminate if the event giving rise to such termination qualifies as a “severance
from employment” (within the meaning of section 401(k)(2)(B) of the Code as in effect after its amendment by EGTRRA), including a deemed severance from employment that occurs as a result of such Participant’s performance of service in
the uniformed services described in Section 9.09. 

 A distribution under this Section 9.02 may be made
on account of a severance of employment regardless of whether the severance of employment occurred before January 1, 2002, and regardless of whether the distribution would satisfy the requirements of section 401(k)(2)(B) of the Code and the
regulations thereunder as in effect prior to its amendment by EGTRRA (including the two (2) year rule in section 1.401(k)-1(d)(4)(iii) of the Treasury Regulations). 

 

	9.03	Commencement of Payments 

  

	 	(a)	Except as otherwise provided in this Article, distribution of the Vested Portion of a Member’s Accounts shall commence as soon as administratively practicable
following the later of (i) the Member’s termination of employment or (ii) the sixty- fifth (65th) anniversary of the Member’s date of birth (but not more than sixty (60) days after the close of the Plan Year in which
the later of (i) or (ii) occurs). 

  

 - 40 - 









	 	(b)	In lieu of a distribution as described in Section 9.03(a) above, a Member may, in accordance with such procedures as the Committee shall prescribe, elect to have
the distribution of the Vested Portion of his Accounts commence as of any Valuation Date coincident with or following his termination of employment which is before the date described in Section 9.03(a) above. 


 

	 	(c)	In the case of the death of a Member before his benefits commence, the Vested Portion of his Accounts shall be distributed to his Beneficiary as soon as
administratively practicable following the Member’s date of death, but no later than December 31 of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which the Member died. 


 

	9.04	 Age
701/2
 Required Distribution 



Distributions under the Plan will be made in accordance with the minimum distribution requirements of section 401(a)(9) of the Code and
the final regulations issued thereunder as set forth in Treasury Decision 8987 (April 16, 2002) (“Final Minimum Distribution Regulations”). 
  

	 	(a)	 Except for the Plan Year commencing January 1, 2009, distribution of a Member’s Accounts shall begin or be paid in full by April 1
following the later of (i) the calendar year in which the Member attains age seventy and one-half
(70 1/2) or (ii) the calendar year in
which the Member retires; provided, however, that if the Member is a five percent (5%) owner (as defined in section 416(i) of the Code), distribution of the Member’s Accounts shall begin or be made in full no later than the
April 1 following the calendar year in which the Member attains age seventy and one-half (70/4) regardless of whether such Member has retired. Such required payments will be known as “minimum distribution payments” and the
date minimum distribution payments are required to commence under this Section 9.04 shall be referred to as the “required beginning date.” A Member who is not a five percent (5%) owner who continues in service beyond the
date he attains age seventy and one-half
(70 1/2) may, however, elect to receive
in-service withdrawals in accordance with the provisions of Article VII while he remains in service. 


  

	 	(b)	Notwithstanding the foregoing, if minimum distribution payments have commenced with respect to a Member, such payments shall continue to be made regardless of whether
the Member has attained the required beginning date, as such term is defined in Section 9.04(a) above; provided, however, that (i) such payments may be modified to the extent necessary to comply with the Final Minimum Distribution
Regulations or (ii) the Member may elect to stop receiving such payments if such minimum distribution payments had commenced prior to January 1, 1997. 


 

	 	(c)	In the event a Member who is a five percent (5%) owner is required to begin receiving minimum distribution payments while in service under the provisions of
Section 9.04(a) above, the Member may elect to receive such payments while in service in accordance with option (i) or (ii), as follows: 

  

	 	(i)	A Member may receive one lump sum payment on or before the Member’s required beginning date equal to his entire Account balance and annual lump sum payments
thereafter of amounts accrued during each calendar year; or 

  

 - 41 - 









	 	(ii)	A Member may receive annual payments of the minimum amount necessary to satisfy the minimum distribution requirements of section 401(a)(9) of the Code. Such minimum
amount will be determined based on the quotient obtained by dividing the value of the Member’s Accounts as of the last valuation date in the “valuation calendar year,” which is the calendar year immediately preceding the
calendar year in which the distribution is required (“distribution calendar year”), increased by the amount of any contributions or forfeitures allocated to such Accounts as of dates in the valuation calendar year after the
valuation date and decreased by any distributions made during such valuation calendar year after the valuation date, by the Member’s life expectancy or, if the Member’s spouse is his sole Beneficiary, by the longer of the Member’s
life expectancy or the joint life expectancy of the Member and his spouse using the attained ages of the Member and his spouse as of their birthdays in the distribution calendar year, such life expectancies to be determined pursuant to the
applicable tables under Treasury Regulation section 1.401(a)(9)-9. The amount of the required minimum distribution shall be taken pro rata from the Member’s Accounts and such amount shall be allocated between and among the Investment Funds in
proportion to the value of the Member’s Accounts as of the date of each such required minimum payment from which amounts are distributed. 


An election under this Section 9.04(c) shall be made by a Member by giving Notice to the Committee within the ninety (90) day
period prior to his required beginning date. The commencement of payments under this Section 9.04 shall not constitute an annuity starting date for purposes of sections 72, 401(a)(11) and 417 of the Code. For each Plan Year, beginning with the
Plan Year that ends in the Plan Year in which the Member’s required beginning date occurs, that any such Member continues in service, a minimum distribution payment shall be made by December 31 of each such year in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 9.04(c), section 401(a)(9) of the Code and the Final Minimum Distribution Regulations. Upon the Member’s subsequent termination of employment, payment of the Member’s Accounts shall be made in accordance
with the provisions of Section 9.02. In the event a Member fails to make an election under this Section 9.04(c), payment shall be made in accordance with Section 9.04(c)(ii). Distributions made pursuant to this Section 9.04(c)
shall automatically satisfy the minimum distribution incidental death benefit requirement as provided in Treasury Regulation section 1.401(a)(9)-5, Q&A-1(d). 
  

	 	(d)	If a Member who is a five percent (5%) owner dies after he has commenced receiving minimum distribution payments, then the remainder of his Plan Accounts shall be
paid in the form of a lump sum payment to his Beneficiary as soon as administratively practicable following the Member’s date of death, but no later than December 31 of the year in which the Member died. Such distribution will
automatically satisfy the requirement of section 401(a)(9)(B)(i) of the Code and Treasury Regulation section 1.401(a)(9)-2, Q&A-5 that distributions following the Member’s death be paid to his Beneficiary at least as rapidly as such
distributions were being paid to the Member prior to his death. 

  

 - 42 - 









	 	(e)	If the Member dies before minimum distribution payments have begun with respect to his Plan Accounts, then distribution of such Accounts shall be paid in a lump sum to
his Beneficiary as soon as administratively practicable following the Member’s date of death, but no later than December 31 of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which the Member died. Such distribution will
automatically satisfy the one (1) year rule of section 401(a)(9)(B)(iii) of the Code and Treasury Regulation sections 1.401(a)(9)-3, Q&A-1 and Q&A-4. 


Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article IX, all distributions from this Plan shall be made in accordance with
(i) sections 1.401(a)(9)-2 through 1.401(a)(9)-9 of the Final Minimum Distribution Regulations, and (ii) the incidental death benefit requirement of section 401(a)(9)(G) of the Code. Further, such Final Minimum Distribution Regulations
shall override any Plan provision that is inconsistent with section 401(a)(9) of the Code. 
  

	9.05	Small Benefits 


Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, a lump sum payment shall be made in lieu of all vested benefits if the value of
the Vested Portion of the Member’s Accounts as of his date of distribution amounts to Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000) or less. The lump sum payment shall automatically be made as soon as administratively practicable following the Member’s
termination of employment, or following the determination that the amount qualifies for distribution under this Section 9.05 in accordance with procedures established by the Committee. 

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, effective with respect to distributions made on or after March 28,
2005, in the event of a mandatory distribution greater than $1,000, determined in accordance with procedures established by the Committee, if the Participant does not elect to have such distribution paid directly to an

  

 - 43 - 








 
eligible retirement plan specified by the Participant in a direct rollover or to receive the distribution directly in accordance with Section 9.02, then the Committee will pay the
distribution in a direct rollover to an individual retirement plan designated by the Committee. 
  

	9.06	Proof of Death and Right of Beneficiary or Other Person 


The Committee may require and rely upon such proof of death and such evidence of the right of any Beneficiary or other person to receive
the value of the Accounts of a deceased Member as the Committee may deem proper and its determination of the right of that Beneficiary or other person to receive payment shall be conclusive. 

 

	9.07	Direct Rollover of Certain Distributions 


Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary that would otherwise limit a Distributee’s election under this
Section 9.07, a Distributee may elect, at the time and in the manner prescribed by the Committee, to have any portion of an Eligible Rollover Distribution paid directly to an Eligible Retirement Plan specified by the Distributee in a Direct
Rollover. 
 Pursuant to section 402(c)(11) of the Code, a designated beneficiary (as defined in section 401(a)(9)(E) of the
Code) who is not the surviving spouse of the Member may direct the Plan to make a direct trustee-to-trustee transfer of all or any portion of the deceased Member’s accounts to an individual retirement plan described in sections 402(c)(8)(B)(i)
or 402(c)(8)(B)(ii) of the Code established for purposes of receiving the distribution on behalf of such individual, provided that such distribution satisfies all of the requirements to be an eligible rollover distribution (as described under the
Code and the regulations and guidance issued thereunder) other than the requirement that the distribution be made to the Member’s or former Member’s spouse. To the extent inconsistent with the terms and provisions of the Plan and this
Section 9.07, the requirements of section 402(c)(11) of the Code and the regulations and guidance issued thereunder shall govern such rollovers by nonspouse beneficiaries. 

The following definitions apply to the terms used in this Section 9.07: 

 

	 	(a)	“Eligible Rollover Distribution” means 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:

	 	(ii)	any distribution to the extent such distribution is required under section 401(a)(9) of the Code;

contribution plan described in sections 401(a) or 403(b) of the Code that agrees to separately account for amounts so rolled over, including separately accounting for the portion of the distribution which is includable in gross income and the
portion of such distribution which is not so includable)); 

  

	 	(iv)	a hardship withdrawal within the meaning of section 401(k) of the Code; 

  

	 	(v)	a loan treated as a distribution under section 72(p) of the Code and not excepted by section 72(p)(2) of the Code;

	 	(b)	“Eligible Retirement Plan” means an individual retirement account described in section 408(a) of the Code, an individual retirement annuity described
in section 408(b) of the Code, an annuity plan described in section 403(a) of the Code, a qualified plan described in section 401(a) of the Code which under its provisions and applicable law may accept such Distributee’s Eligible Rollover
Distribution, a Roth IRA described in section 408A(b) of the Code, an annuity contract described in section 403(b) of the Code, and an eligible plan under section 457 of the Code which is maintained by a state, a political subdivision of a state, or
an agency or instrumentality of a state or political subdivision of a state and which agrees to separately account for amounts rolled over to such plan from this Plan. This definition of Eligible Retirement Plan shall also apply in the case of a
distribution to a Distributee who is a surviving spouse, or a spouse or former spouse who is the alternate payee under a qualified domestic relations order. 


 

	 	(c)	“Distributee” means an employee or former employee. In addition, the employee’s or former employee’s surviving spouse and the employee’s

notice required under section 1.411(a)-11(c) of the Treasury Regulations is given, provided that: 

  

	 	(i)	the Committee clearly informs the Member that he has a right to a period of at least thirty (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 

  

	 	(ii)	the Member, after receiving the notice under section 1.411 (a)-11 (c) of the Treasury Regulations, affirmatively elects a distribution.

 Any
act which the Plan authorizes or requires the Committee to do may be done by a majority of its members. The action of that majority expressed from time to time by a vote at a meeting or in writing without a meeting shall constitute the action of the

	10.06	Compensation and Bonding 


No member of the Committee shall receive any compensation from the Plan for his services as such. Except as may otherwise be required by

The Employer, the Board of Directors, the Committee, and any officer, employee, or agent of the Employer shall not incur any liability
individually or on behalf of any other individuals or on behalf of the Employer for any act or failure to act, made in good faith in relation to the Plan or Trust Fund. However, this limitation shall not act to relieve any such individual or the
Employer, where applicable, from a responsibility or liability for any fiduciary responsibility, obligation or duty under Part 4, Title I of ERISA. 
  

	10.11	Indemnification 

 The
Committee, the Board of Directors, and the officers, employees and agents of the Employer shall be indemnified against any and all liabilities arising by reason of any act, or failure to act, in relation to the Plan or Trust Fund, including, without

	10.15	Claims and Review Procedures 

  

	 	(a)	Applications for benefits and inquiries concerning the Plan (or concerning present or future rights to benefits under the Plan) shall be submitted in writing in
accordance with the rules and procedures adopted by the Committee, including those policies and procedures set forth in Appendix E, which may be amended from time to time without need for a formal amendment to the Plan. An application for
benefits shall be submitted on the prescribed form and shall be signed by the Member or, in the case of a benefit payable after his death, by his Beneficiary. The Committee shall adopt such rules, procedures and interpretations of the Plan as it
deems necessary or appropriate in carrying out its responsibilities under this Section 10.15 (including those rules, procedures and interpretations set forth in Appendix E) and communicate such rules, procedures and interpretations to the
Members. 

  

	 	(b)	No legal action for benefits under the Plan shall be brought unless and until the claimant (i) has submitted a written application for benefits in accordance with
the applicable rules and procedures established by the Committee, (ii) has been notified that the application is denied, (iii) has filed a written request for a review of the application in accordance with such rules and procedures, and
(iv) has been notified in writing that the Committee has affirmed the denial of the application; provided, however, that legal action may be brought after the Committee has failed to take any action on the claim within the time prescribed by
such rules and procedures. 

  

	10.16	Standard of Judicial Review 


The Committee has full and absolute discretion in the exercise of each and every aspect of its authority under the Plan, including without
limitation, the authority to determine any person’s right to continuation coverage under the Plan. Notwithstanding any provision of law or any explicit or implicit provision of this document or any action taken, or ruling or decision made, by
the Committee in the exercise of any of its powers and authorities under the Plan, all actions, rulings and decisions shall be final and conclusive as to all parties, including without limitation all Members and Beneficiaries, regardless of whether
the Committee or one or more of its members may have an actual or potential conflict of interest with respect to the subject matter of the action, ruling, or decision. No final action, ruling, or decision of the Committee shall be subject to de
novo review in any judicial proceeding; and no final action, ruling, or decision of the Committee may be set aside unless it is held to have been arbitrary and capricious by a final judgment of a court having jurisdiction with respect to the
issue.

 ARTICLE XI 

MANAGEMENT OF FUNDS 
  

	11.01	Trust Agreement 

 The
assets of the Trust Fund shall be held by Trustees appointed from time to time by the Board of Directors or the Committee on behalf of the Company under a trust agreement adopted, or as amended, by the Board of Directors or the Committee on behalf
of the Company for use in providing the benefits of the Plan and paying its expenses not paid directly by the Employer. The Employer shall have no liability for the payment of benefits under the Plan nor for the administration of the assets paid
over to the Trustees. 
  

	11.02	Exclusive Benefit Rule 


Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, no part of the corpus or income of the Trust Fund shall be used for, or diverted to, purposes
other than for the exclusive benefit of Members and other persons entitled to benefits under the Plan and paying the expenses of the Plan not paid directly by the Employer. No person shall have any interest in, or right to, any part of the earnings
of the Trust Fund, or any right in, or to, any part of the assets held under the Plan, except as and to the extent expressly provided in the Plan. 
  

	
	  

	End of Article XI

 ARTICLE XII 

AMENDMENT, MERGER AND TERMINATION 
  

	12.01	Amendment of Plan 

 The
Company, by action of its Board of Directors, taken at a meeting held either in person or by telephone or other electronic means, or by unanimous written consent in lieu of a meeting, reserves the right at any time and from time to time, and
retroactively if deemed necessary or appropriate, to amend, in whole or in part, any or all of the provisions of the Plan. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the Committee (or its delegate, as applicable) may approve amendments to the Plan,
with or without prior approval or subsequent ratification by the Board of Directors, if the amendment: 
  

	 	(a)	does not significantly change the benefits provided under the Plan (except as required by a change in applicable law); 


 

	 	(b)	does not significantly increase the costs of the Plan; and 

  

	 	(c)	the amendment is intended either to enable the Plan to remain in compliance with the requirements of the Code, ERISA or other applicable law, to facilitate
administration of the Plan, or to improve the operation of the Plan. 

 However, no amendment shall make it
possible for any part of the assets of the Plan to be used for, or diverted to, purposes other than for the exclusive benefit of persons entitled to benefits under the Plan, before the satisfaction of all liabilities with respect to them. In
relation to the Accounts on the date on which the amendment is adopted or, if later, the date on which the amendment becomes effective, no amendment shall be made which has the effect of decreasing the balance of the Accounts of any Member,
eliminating any right to benefit payment or any optional form of payment, or of reducing the nonforfeitable percentage of the balance of the Accounts of a Member below the nonforfeitable percentage computed under the Plan as in effect prior to the
amendment. 
  

	12.02	Merger, Consolidation or Transfer 


The Plan may not be merged or consolidated with, and its assets or liabilities may not be transferred to, any other plan unless each
person entitled to benefits under the Plan would, if the resulting plan were then terminated, receive a benefit immediately after the merger, consolidation, or transfer which is equal to or greater than the benefit he would have been entitled to
receive immediately before the merger, consolidation, or transfer if the Plan had then terminated. 
  

	12.03	Additional Participating Employers 

  

	 	(a)	 If any entity is or becomes an Affiliated Employer, the Committee may include the employees of that employer in the membership of the Plan upon
appropriate action by such employer to adopt the Plan (i.e., either by a corporate action or by commencement of Deferral Contributions on behalf of its eligible Employees) and any prior service credit shall be granted in accordance with
Appendix C. If an Affiliated Employer sponsors a qualified retirement plan, such plan may be merged into this Plan upon agreement between the Committee and such 



 

 - 52 - 









	 	
employer sponsoring such plan, by updating Appendix C regarding special eligibility and vesting provisions (as applicable), and its participants shall become Members of the Plan, within the
timeframe set forth in section 410(b)(6) of the Code. 

  

	 	(b)	Any Affiliated Employer may terminate its participation in the Plan upon appropriate action by it. In that event, the funds of the Plan held on account of Members in
the employ of such employer, and any unpaid balances of the Accounts of all Members who have separated from the employ of such employer, shall be determined by the Committee. Those funds shall be distributed as provided in Section 12.04 if the
Plan should be terminated, or shall be segregated by the Trustees as a separate trust, pursuant to certification to the Trustees by the Committee, continuing the Plan as a separate plan for the employees of that employer under which the board of
directors of that employer shall succeed to all the powers and duties of the Board of Directors, including the appointment of the members of the Committee. 


 

	12.04	Termination of Plan 

  

	 	(a)	The Board of Directors, by action taken in accordance with the procedures under Section 12.01, may terminate the Plan or completely discontinue contributions under
the Plan for any reason at any time. In case of termination or partial termination of the Plan, or complete discontinuance of Employer contributions to the Plan, the rights of affected Members to their Accounts under the Plan as of the date of the
termination or discontinuance shall be nonforfeitable. In the event of the Plan’s termination, the total amount in each Member’s Accounts shall be distributed to him if permitted by law or continued in trust for his benefit, as the
Committee shall direct. 

  

	 	(b)	Upon termination of the Plan, Deferral Contributions, with earnings thereon, shall only be distributed to Members if (i) neither the Employer nor an Affiliated
Employer establishes or maintains a successor defined contribution plan, and (ii) payment is made to the Members in the form of a lump sum distribution (as defined in section 402(d)(4) of the Code, without regard to clauses (i) through
(iv) of subparagraph (A), subparagraph (B), or subparagraph (F) thereof). For purposes of this Section 12.04(b), a “successor defined contribution plan” is a defined contribution plan (other than an employee stock
ownership plan as defined in section 4975(e)(7) of the Code (“ESOP”) or a simplified employee pension as defined in section 408(k) of the Code (“SEP”)) which exists at the time the Plan is terminated or within the
twelve (12) month period beginning on the date all assets are distributed. However, in no event shall a defined contribution plan be deemed a successor plan if fewer than two percent (2%) of the employees who are eligible to participate in
the Plan at the time of its termination are or were eligible to participate under another defined contribution plan of the Employer or an Affiliated Employer (other than an ESOP or a SEP) at any time during the period beginning twelve
(12) months before and ending twelve (12) months after the date of the Plan’s termination.

 ARTICLE XIII 

GENERAL PROVISIONS 
  

	13.01	Nonalienation 

  

	 	(a)	Except as otherwise provided under certain judgments and settlements pursuant to section 206(d) of ERISA and sections 401(a)(13) and 414(p) of the Code or as otherwise
provided under other applicable law, no benefit under the Plan shall in any manner be anticipated, assigned or alienated, and any attempt to do so shall be void. However, payment shall be made in accordance with the provisions of any judgment,
decree, or order which: 

  

	 	(i)	creates for, or assigns to, a spouse, former spouse, child or other dependent of a Member the right to receive all or a portion of the Member’s benefits under the
Plan for the purpose of providing child support, alimony payments or marital property rights to that spouse, child or dependent; 

  

	 	(ii)	is made pursuant to a state domestic relations law; 

  

	 	(iii)	does not require the Plan to provide any type of benefit, or any option, not otherwise provided under the Plan; and 


 

	 	(iv)	otherwise meets the requirements of section 206(d) of ERISA and section 414(p) of the Code, as a qualified domestic relations order (“QDRO”), as
determined by the Committee. 

  

	 	(b)	Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the amount payable to the alternate payee under the QDRO is Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000) or less, such amount
shall be paid in one lump sum as soon as practicable following the qualification of the order. If the amount exceeds Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000), it may be paid as soon as practicable following the qualification of the order if the QDRO so
provides and the alternate payee consents thereto; otherwise it may not be payable before the earliest of (i) the Member’s termination of employment, (ii) the time such amount could be withdrawn under Article VII, or
(iii) the Member’s attainment of age fifty (50). 

  

	13.02	Conditions of Employment Not Affected by Plan 


The establishment of the Plan shall not confer any legal rights upon any Employee or other person for a continuation of employment, nor
shall it interfere with the rights of the Employer to discharge any Employee and to treat him without regard to the effect which that treatment might have upon him as a Member or potential Member of the Plan. 

 

	13.03	Facility of Payment 

 If
the Committee shall find that a Member or other person entitled to a benefit is unable to care for his affairs because of illness or accident or because he is a minor, the Committee may direct that any benefit due him, unless claim shall have been
made for the benefit by a duly appointed legal representative, be paid to his spouse, a child, a parent or other blood relative, or to a person with whom he resides. Any payment so made shall be a complete discharge of the liabilities of the Plan
for that benefit. 
  

 - 54 - 









	13.04	Erroneous Allocation 


Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, if a Member’s Account is credited with an erroneous amount due to a
mistake in fact or law, the Committee shall adjust such Account in such equitable manner as it deems appropriate to correct the erroneous allocation. 
  

	13.05	Information 

 Each Member,
Beneficiary or other person entitled to a benefit, before any benefit shall be payable to him or on his behalf under the Plan, shall file with the Committee the information that it shall require to establish his rights and benefits under the Plan.

  

	13.06	Top-Heavy Provisions 

  

	 	(a)	The following definitions apply to the terms used in this Section 13.06: 


 

	 	(i)	“applicable determination date” means the last day of the later of the first Plan Year or the preceding Plan Year; 


 

	 	(ii)	“top-heavy ratio” means the ratio of (A) the value of the aggregate of the Accounts under the Plan for key employees to (B) the value of the
aggregate of the Accounts under the Plan for all key employees and non-key employees; 

  

	 	(iii)	“key employee” means an employee who is in a category of employees determined in accordance with the provisions of sections 416(i)(1) and (5) of
the Code and any regulations thereunder, and where applicable, on the basis of the Employee’s Statutory Compensation from the Employer or an Affiliated Employer; 


 

	 	(iv)	“non-key employee” means any Employee who is not a key employee; 


 

	 	(v)	“applicable Valuation Date” means the Valuation Date coincident with or immediately preceding the last day of the first Plan Year or the preceding Plan
Year, whichever is applicable; 

  

	 	(vi)	“required aggregation group” means any other qualified plan(s) of the Employer or an Affiliated Employer in which there are members who are key
employees or which enable(s) the Plan to meet the requirements of sections 401(a)(4) or 410 of the Code; and 

  

	 	(vii)	“permissive aggregation group” means each plan in the required aggregation group and any other qualified plan(s) of the Employer or an Affiliated
Employer in which all members are non-key employees, if the resulting aggregation group continues to meet the requirements of sections 401(a)(4) and 410 of the Code. 


 

 - 55 - 









	 	(b)	For purposes of this Section, the Plan shall be “top-heavy” with respect to any Plan Year if, as of the applicable determination date, the top-heavy
ratio exceeds sixty percent (60%). The top-heavy ratio shall be determined as of the applicable Valuation Date in accordance with sections 416(g)(3) and (4) of the Code and Article V of this Plan. For purposes of determining whether the
Plan is top- heavy, the account balances under the Plan will be combined with the account balances or the present value of accrued benefits under each other plan in the required aggregation group, and in the Employer’s discretion, may be
combined with the account balances or the present value of accrued benefits under any other qualified plan in the permissive aggregation group. 


Distributions made with respect to a Member under the Plan during the one (1) year period ending on the applicable determination
date shall be taken into account for purposes of determining the top-heavy ratio; distributions under plans that terminated within such one (1) year period shall also be taken into account, if any such plan contained key employees and therefore
would have been part of the required aggregation group. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, in the case of a distribution made for a reason other than separation from service, death or Disability, the “one (1) year period” shall
be substituted with the “five (5) year period.” 
  

	 	(c)	The following provisions shall be applicable to Members for any Plan Year with respect to which the Plan is top-heavy: 


 

	 	(i)	In lieu of the vesting requirements specified in Section 6.02 for Employer Matching Contributions made for Plan Years beginning prior to January 1, 2002, a
Member shall be vested in, and have a nonforfeitable right to, his Employer Matching Account in accordance with the following schedule: 

  

			
	 Years of Vesting Service
	  	Percent Vested
	 less than 2 years
	  	0%
	 2 years
	  	20%
	 3 years
	  	40%
	 4 years
	  	60%
	 5 years
	  	80%
	 6 or more years
	  	100%

 provided that in no
event shall the Vested Portion of his Employer Matching Account be less than the Vested Portion determined under Section 6.02. 
  

	 	(ii)	 An additional Employer contribution shall be allocated on behalf of each Member (and each Employee eligible to become a Member) who is a non-key
employee, and who has not separated from service as of the last day of the Plan Year, to the extent that the contributions made on his behalf under Section 3.02 for the Plan Year (and not needed to meet the contribution percentage test set
forth in Section 3.07) would otherwise be less than three percent (3%) of his remuneration. However, if the greatest percentage of remuneration contributed on behalf of a key employee under Sections 3.01 and 3.02 for the Plan Year
(disregarding any contributions made under Section 3.12 for the Plan Year) would be 


  

 - 56 - 









	 	
less than three percent (3%), that lesser percentage shall be substituted for “three percent (3%)” in the preceding sentence. Employer Matching Contributions shall be taken into account
for purposes of satisfying the minimum top heavy contribution requirements of section 416(c)(2) of the Code and this Section 13.06(c). 


Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 13.06(c)(ii), no minimum contribution shall be made under this Plan with
respect to a Member (or an Employee eligible to become a Member) if the required minimum benefit under section 416(c)(1) of the Code is provided to him by any other qualified pension plan of the Employer or an Affiliated Employer. For the purposes
of this Section 13.06(c)(ii), remuneration has the same meaning as set forth in Section 3.09(c). 
  

	 	(d)	If the Plan is top-heavy with respect to a Plan Year and ceases to be top-heavy for a subsequent Plan Year, the vesting schedule set forth in Section 13.06(c)(i)
shall continue to be applicable for Employer Matching Contributions made for Plan Years beginning prior to January 1, 2002. 


The provisions of this Section 13.06 shall automatically become inoperative and of no effect to the extent not required by the Code
or ERISA. 
  

	13.07	Unclaimed Benefits 

 If
the Committee cannot ascertain the whereabouts of any person to whom a payment is due under the Plan, the Committee may mail a notice by certified or registered mail of such due and owing payment to the last known address of such person, as shown on
the records of the Committee or the Employer. If such person has not made written claim therefor within three (3) months of the date of such mailing, the Committee may, if it so elects and upon receiving advice from counsel to the Plan, direct
that such payment and all remaining payments otherwise due such person be forfeited and the amount thereof applied to reduce the contributions of the Employer or used to offset Plan expenses. 

Either upon or prior to the occurrence of the forfeiture under this Section 13.07, the Committee may then notify the Social Security
Administration or the IRS Disclosure Staff of the Member’s (or Beneficiary’s) failure to claim the distribution to which he is entitled. The Committee may request the Social Security Administration or the IRS Disclosure Staff to notify the
Member (or Beneficiary) in accordance with the procedures it has established for this purpose. Upon such forfeiture, the Plan and Trust Fund shall have no further liability therefor except that, in the event such Member or his Beneficiary later
notifies the Committee of his whereabouts and requests the payment or payments due to him under the Plan, the amount so applied shall be paid to him in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. 

 

	13.08	Member Notices 

 Any
Notices made by a Member pursuant to the provisions of the Plan shall be made in a time and manner determined by the Committee under rules uniformly applicable to all employees similarly situated. The Committee reserves the right to change from time
to 
  

 - 57 - 








 
time the time and manner for making such Notice by Members under the Plan if it determines after due deliberation that such action is justified in that it improves the administration of the Plan.
In the event of a conflict between the provisions for making a Notice set forth in the Plan and such new administrative procedures, those new administrative procedures shall prevail. 

 

	13.09	Construction 

  

	 	(a)	The Plan shall be construed, regulated and administered under ERISA and the laws of the State of Texas, except where ERISA controls. 


 

	 	(b)	The titles and headings of the Articles and Sections in this Plan are for convenience only. In the case of ambiguity or inconsistency, the text rather than the titles
or headings shall control. 

  

	 	(c)	It is intended that the Plan be qualified within the meaning of section 401(a) of the Code and that the Trust Fund be tax exempt under section 501 (a) of the Code,
and all provisions herein shall be construed in accordance with such intent. 

  

	 	(d)	Wherever appropriate herein, words used in the singular shall be considered to include the plural, and words used in the plural shall be considered to include the
singular. The masculine gender, where appearing in the Plan, shall be deemed to include the feminine gender.

 A-2 








 APPENDIX B 

DOMESTIC PARTNER BENEFITS POLICY 

This Appendix B may be amended from time to time without need for a formal amendment to the Plan. The terms defined within this Appendix B
shall only apply to this Appendix B. 
 Under the Domestic Partner Benefits Policy (“Policy”) of Clear
Channel Communications, Inc. or a subsidiary (“Company”), an Employee’s designated domestic partner (“Domestic Partner”) will generally be treated the same as an Employee’s spouse for purposes of the Clear
Channel Communications, Inc. 401(k) Savings Plan (“401(k) Plan”) as summarized below if the
Entity1
 that employs such employees is a party to a contract with the City of San Francisco and such employees meet the eligibility criteria set forth in the next paragraph. For as long as an
Entity is a party to a contract with the City of San Francisco, the eligible employees of the Entity will be entitled to participate in the benefits provided by this Policy, and this Policy shall cover such Entity’s employees as long as such
employees work: (a) in the Entity’s operations that are based in the City of San Francisco; or (b) on real property that is owned by the City of San Francisco; or (c) on any work that is being performed by the Entity for the City
of San Francisco elsewhere in the United States. 
 Eligibility to Qualify as an Employee’s Domestic Partner 

Domestic Partner status is available for couples in same or opposite sex domestic partner relationships as defined under the relevant City of San
Francisco ordinance (“Ordinance”). Under the Ordinance, any employee and another person who are currently registered as domestic partners with a state, county or city which authorizes such registration are domestic partners. The
current place of residence of such persons does not matter in the determination of whether they qualify as domestic partners. 
 To participate
in the domestic partner benefits provided by the Company, the employee and domestic partner will be required to certify that they are currently registered as domestic partners with a state, county or city. 

Certifications of Domestic Partner Status and Certifications of Continued Domestic Partner Status (as well as any benefit plan or arrangement enrollment
or elections forms which reference a domestic partner relationship) will be shared with benefits, financial services and human resources department personnel for the purposes of implementing and administering the Company’s benefit plans and
arrangements, and as required by law. 
 If an employee has completed and filed a Certification of Domestic Partner Status or Continued Domestic
Partner Status (“Certification”) in order to enroll his Domestic Partner in benefits under the Company’s Group Benefits Plan or to have such individual treated as a Domestic Partner for purposes of beneficiary designation under
the Company’s 2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, there is no need to fill out a separate Certification to have such individual treated as a Domestic Partner under this 401(k) Plan. Once a Certification has been filed, it will be valid for
eligibility for benefits under all applicable Company plans and policies. 
 OBTAINING DOMESTIC PARTNER BENEFITS AND THE EXECUTION OF THE
REQUIRED CERTIFICATES MAY AFFECT THE LIABILITY OF THE EMPLOYEE AND THE DOMESTIC 
  

	1
	“Entity” shall refer to either the Company or an applicable subsidiary. 


 

 B-1 








 
PARTNER TO EACH OTHER, TO TAXING AUTHORITIES AND TO THIRD PARTIES. THE EMPLOYEE AND THE DOMESTIC PARTNER SHOULD CONSULT WITH THEIR OWN RESPECTIVE TAX AND/OR LEGAL ADVISORS REGARDING THESE AND
OTHER POTENTIAL CONSEQUENCES. 
 Termination of Domestic Partner Status 

Upon termination of the Domestic Partner relationship, or if a Domestic Partner no longer meets the criteria to qualify as an employee’s designated
domestic partner, or if the Domestic Partner dies, the employee must notify the Benefits Department within 31 days, by submitting a Notice of Termination of Domestic Partner Status, a copy of which is attached. 

Effect of Misrepresentation 
 As is the
case with all of the Company’s benefit plans and arrangements, any misrepresentation or falsification of information regarding eligibility for coverage or benefits will result in a termination of such coverage and benefits, may result, at the
sole option and discretion of the Company, in the termination of the employee from his employment with the Company, and will impose liability on the employee to reimburse the Company for the benefits that were improperly obtained. 

Domestic Partner Benefit Coverages Generally 

It is the Company’s intention that to the extent possible a Domestic Partner, when applicable, generally will be treated in the same manner as an
employee’s spouse for purposes of the 401(k) Plan. Legal constraints may make identical treatment impossible. The following explains the treatment of Domestic Partners under the 401(k) Plan. 

 

	 	•	 	 Participation 



Participation in the 401(k) Plan is limited to employees who meet the eligibility requirements set forth therein. 

 

	 	•	 	 Beneficiary Rights 



A Domestic Partner will be considered the same as an employee’s spouse for purposes of Sections 1.05 and 1.48 of the 401(k) Plan.
Pursuant to these provisions, as modified under this Policy, a Domestic Partner shall be the employee’s Beneficiary unless or until the employee has designated another Beneficiary with the consent of the Domestic Partner. If no Beneficiary
designation is in effect at the time of the employee’s death, of if no person, persons, or entity so designated survives the employee, the employee’s surviving Domestic Partner, if any, shall be deemed to be the Beneficiary. 

 

	 	•	 	 Hours of Service 



For purposes of determining whether an employee has incurred a “Break in Service” (as defined in the 401(k) Plan), a
Domestic Partner shall be treated as a spouse under Section 1.29 of the 401(k) Plan. That is, “Hours of Service” (as defined in the 401(k) Plan) will include each hour for which an employee would normally be credited under
Sections 1.07 and 1.29 during a period of leave to care for a Domestic Partner under the Company’s Family and Medical Leave Act Policy as adapted for Domestic Partners. 

 

 B-2 









	 	•	 	 Other Plan Provisions 



To the extent that the Committee shall determine that Domestic Partners may be treated as spouses under the 401(k) Plan without risk of
loss of the 401(k) Plan’s qualified status, Domestic Partners shall be treated as such. At the current time, “Hardship Withdrawals” (as defined in the 401(k) Plan) will not be available for the medical expenses of a Domestic
Partner as such a provision would at the current time cause the tax disqualification of the 401(k) Plan. 
 Termination and Modification 

 As is the case with all of its benefit programs, the Company reserves the right to terminate or modify the extension of benefits to Domestic
Partners of employees. No further action except amending this schedule shall be necessary to modify this Policy. 
 Confidentiality

 All benefit information is held in strictest confidence, will be shared exclusively with the Company’s Human Resources Department,
Benefits Department and Health Insurance Committee and is not disclosed to anyone without the prior written consent of the individual, unless such disclosure is necessary or required by law or by a provider in connection with the coverage provided.

  

 B-3 








 Certification of Domestic Partner Status 

We, the undersigned (herein referred to as the “Employee” and the “Domestic Partner”), execute this Certification of
Domestic Partner Status (this “Certificate”) as of the date set forth below. The Employee and the Domestic Partner are executing this Certificate as part of the requirements for obtaining certain Domestic Partner benefits
(“Domestic Partner Benefits”) provided by Clear Channel Communications, Inc. or a subsidiary (“Company”). 
  

	1.	The Employee and the Domestic Partner hereby certify as follows:
