 (a) The amount determined in Section 4.1(a) based on the assumption that: 
  

	 	(A)	the Participant had a nonforfeitable right to a benefit from the Pension Plan, 

  


 7 









	 	(B)	the Participant’s early retirement benefit under the Pension Plan, if applicable, is determined as if the Participant had incurred a Termination of Employment on the second
anniversary of the 409A Change of Control, but based on the Participant’s age as of the payment date, and 

  

	 	(C)	benefits payable from the Pension Plan commence at the earliest date permitted under the Pension Plan. 

 (b) The amount determined in Section 4.1(b) based upon the same assumptions specified in Section 5.6(a) except Section 5.6(a)(A).

 ARTICLE VI 
 Amendment
or Termination 
 Section 6.1 Amendment. Prior to a Change of Control, the Company reserves the right to amend this Plan from time
to time by action of the Board of Directors (or any person or persons authorized by resolution of the Board of Directors), but without the written consent of each Participant and Beneficiary of a deceased Participant, no such action may reduce or
relieve the Employer of any obligation with respect to any Retirement Benefit or Death Benefit under this Plan with respect to such Participant (or Beneficiary) as of the date of such amendment, except to the extent such amendment is required by
written opinion of counsel to the Company to avoid recognition of income by a Participant or Beneficiary subject to federal income taxation. 
 Section 6.2 Plan Termination. The Company may, in its discretion, terminate the Plan at any time, however, no such termination shall, without the written consent of the Participant (or Beneficiary) with nonforfeitable accrued
benefits hereunder, alter a Participant’s (or Beneficiary’s) right to such nonforfeitable accrued benefits. 
 ARTICLE VII 

 Miscellaneous Provisions 
 Section 7.1 Expenses. The expenses of administering this Plan shall be borne by the Employer. 
 Section 7.2
Indemnification and Exculpation. The members of the Committee, its agents and officers, directors and employees of the Employer shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company against and from any and all loss, cost, liability, or
expense that may be imposed upon or reasonably incurred by them in connection with or resulting from any claim, action, suit, or proceeding to which they may be a party or in which they may be involved by reason of any action taken or failure to act
under this Plan and against and from any and all amounts paid by them in settlement (with the Company’s written approval) or paid by them in satisfaction of a judgment in any such action, suit, or proceeding. The foregoing provision shall not
be applicable to any person if the loss, cost, liability, or expense is due to such person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. 
  

 8 








 Section 7.3 Funding. While all benefits payable under this Plan constitute general corporate
obligations, the Company may establish a separate irrevocable grantor trust for the benefit of all Participants, which trust shall be subject to the claims of the general creditors of the Employer in the event of such corporation’s insolvency,
to be used as a reserve for the discharge of the Employer’s obligations under this Plan to such Participants. Any payments made to a Participant under the separate trust for his benefit shall reduce dollar for dollar the amount payable to the
Participant from the general assets of the Employer. The amounts payable under this Plan shall be reflected on the accounting records of the Company (or the Employer) but shall not be construed to create or require the creation of a trust,
custodial, or escrow account. No Participant (or Beneficiary of a Participant) shall have any right, title, or interest whatever in or to any investment reserves, accounts, or funds that the Company or any other Employer may purchase, establish, or
accumulate to aid in providing benefits under this Plan. Nothing contained in this Plan, and no action taken pursuant to its provisions, shall create a trust or fiduciary relationship of any kind between the Company, the Board of Directors or any
other Employer and a Participant, Beneficiary or any other person. Neither a Participant nor Beneficiary shall acquire any interest greater than that of an unsecured, general creditor. 
 Section 7.4 Corporate Action. Any action required of or permitted by the Company under this Plan shall be by resolution of its Board of Directors,
or any person or persons authorized by resolution of the Board of Directors. 
 Section 7.5 Interests not Transferable. The interests
of the Participants and their Beneficiaries under this Plan are not subject to the claims of their creditors and may not be voluntarily or involuntarily transferred, assigned, alienated, or encumbered by them. 
 Section 7.6 Effect on Other Benefit Plans. Amounts credited or paid under this Plan shall not be considered to be compensation for the purposes of
a qualified pension plan maintained by the Company or any other Employer. The treatment of such amounts under other employee benefits plans shall be determined pursuant to the provisions of such plans. 
 Section 7.7 Legal Fees and Expenses. After a Change of Control, the Employer shall pay all reasonable legal fees and expenses which the
Participant or a Beneficiary may incur as a result of the Employer’s contesting the validity, enforceability or the Participant’s interpretation of, or determinations made under, this Plan. 
 Section 7.8 Deduction of Taxes from Amounts Payable. 
 (a) Distribution. The Employer shall deduct from the amount to be distributed such amount as the Employer, in its sole discretion, deems proper to protect the Employer against liability for the payment of
death, succession, inheritance, income, or other taxes, and out of money so deducted, the Employer may discharge any such liability and pay the amount remaining to the Participant, the Beneficiary or the deceased Participant’s estate, as the
case may be. 
 (b) Withholding. The Employer may withhold whatever taxes (including FICA, state or federal taxes) it, in its sole
discretion, deems proper to protect the Employer against liability for the payment of such withholding taxes and out of the money so deducted, the Employer may discharge any such liability. Withholding for this purpose may come from any wages due to
the Participant or from any payments due to the Participant hereunder. 
  

 9 








 Section 7.9 Facility of Payment. If a Participant or Beneficiary is declared an incompetent or is
a minor and a conservator, guardian, or other person legally charged with his or her care has been appointed, any benefits to which such Participant or Beneficiary is entitled shall be payable to such conservator, guardian, or other person legally
charged with his or her care. The decision of the Committee in such matters shall be final, binding, and conclusive upon the Employer and upon each Participant, Beneficiary, and every other person or party interested or concerned. The Employer and
the Committee shall not be under any duty to see to the proper application of such payments.

be binding and enforceable with respect to the obligation of the Employer against any successor to the Employer by operation of law or by express assumption of the Plan, and such successor shall be substituted hereunder for the Employer. 

Section 7.11 Gender and Number. Except when the context indicates to the contrary, when used herein, masculine terms shall be deemed to include
the feminine, and singular the plural. 
 Section 7.12 Invalidity of Certain Provisions. If any provision of this Plan shall be held
invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions hereof and this Plan shall be construed and enforced as if such provisions, to the extent invalid or unenforceable, had not been included.

 Section 7.13 Headings. The headings or articles are included solely for convenience of reference, and if there is any conflict
between such headings and the text of this Plan, the text shall control. 
 Section 7.14 Claims Procedures. A claim for benefits under
the Plan shall be handled as follows: 
 (a) Filing a Claim. Each individual who claims to be eligible for benefits under this Plan (a
“Claimant”) may submit a written claim for benefits (a “Claim”) to the Committee or its designee where the individual believes a benefit has not been provided under the Plan to such individual to which such
individual is eligible. To be considered by the Committee, a Claim must be set forth in writing and must be submitted to the Committee or its designee no later than six (6) months after the date on which the Claimant or other individual claims
to have been first entitled to such claimed benefit. 
 (b) Review of Claim. The Committee or its designee shall evaluate each
properly filed Claim and notify the Claimant of the approval or denial of the Claim within 90 days after the Committee or its designee receives the Claim, unless special circumstances require an extension of time for processing the Claim. If an
extension of time for processing the Claim is required, the Committee or its designee shall provide the Claimant with written notice of the extension before the expiration of the initial 90-day period, specifying the circumstances requiring an
extension and the date by which a final decision will be reached (which date shall not be later than 180 days after the date on which the Committee or its designee received the claim).

 (c) Notice of Claim Denial. If a Claim is denied in whole or in part, the Committee or its
designee shall provide the Claimant with a written notice setting forth (i) the specific reasons for the denial, (ii) references to pertinent Plan provisions upon which the denial is based, (iii) a description of any additional
material or information needed and an explanation of why such material or information is necessary, and (iv) the Claimant’s right to seek review of the denial pursuant to subsection (d) below. 
 (d) Review of Claim Denial. If a Claim is denied, in whole or in part, the Claimant shall have the right to (i) request that the Committee or
its designee review the denial, (ii) review pertinent documents, and (iii) submit issues and comments in writing, provided that the claimant files a written request for review with the Committee or its designee within 60 days after the
date on which the claimant received written notice from the Committee or its designee of the denial. Within 60 days after the Committee or its designee receives a properly filed request for review, the Committee or its designee shall conduct such
review and advise the Claimant in writing of its decision on review, unless special circumstances require an extension of time for conducting the review. If an extension of time for conducting the review is required, the Committee or its designee
shall provide the Claimant with written notice of the extension before the expiration of the initial 60-day period, specifying the circumstances requiring an extension and the date by which such review shall be completed (which date shall not be
later than 120 days after the date on which the Committee or its designee received the request for review). The Committee or its designee shall inform the Claimant of its decision on review in a written notice, setting forth the specific reason(s)
for the decision and reference to Plan provisions upon which the decision is based. A decision on review shall be final and binding on all persons for all purposes. 
 (e) No Claimant or other individual may file any claim for benefits or request a review of a denial of any claim unless such person follows the provisions and timeframes of this Section 7.14. A Claimant or other
individual shall not be entitled to bring any action in any court unless such person has exhausted such person’s rights under this Section 7.14 by timely submitting a Claim and requesting a review of a decision with respect to such Claim.

 Section 7.15 Governing Law. This Plan shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, to the extent not preempted by
federal law.
