ARTICLE 3: CONTRIBUTIONS AND CREDITS 
 3.1
EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTION CREDITS. If the Employer elects in the Adoption Agreement to make Employer Contribution Credits under the Plan, there shall be established and maintained a separate Employer Contribution Credit Account in the name of each
Participant who is selected by the Employer to receive Employer Contribution Credits. The election in the Adoption Agreement to make Employer Contribution Credits permits, but does not require, the Employer to credit any amount it desires to any
Participant’s Employer Contribution Credit Account for any Plan Year. The amount to be credited or debited, as applicable, to an Employer Contribution Credit Account shall include a) amounts equal to the Employer’s Contribution Credits and
b) any deemed earnings, gains or losses allocated to the account. 
 For purposes of this Section 3.1, the Employer Contribution Credits
with respect to a Participant for a particular Plan Year shall be an amount equal to the amount specified by the Employer to the Recordkeeper for the Plan Year. The amount credited to a Participant’s Employer Contribution Credit Account in a
Plan Year may (a) differ from the amount credited to another Participant’s Employer Contribution Credit Account for that Plan Year, (b) differ from the amount credited to the Participant’s Employer Contribution Credit Account in
any prior Plan Year, and (c) be equal to zero. 
 For each Plan Year, the Participant’s Employer Contribution Credit Account shall be
credited or debited, as applicable, as of each Valuation Date. The amount of deemed earnings, gains or losses to be credited or debited shall be as determined under Article IV. The Recordkeeper shall have the discretion to allocate such deemed

(including any Non-Employee Director retainers) that is due to be earned and would otherwise be paid to the Participant. The Participant may express the amount to be deferred as a lump sum or a fixed periodic dollar amount(s) or percentage(s) of
Compensation; provided, however, that any Participant electing to defer Compensation hereunder for a given Plan Year must elect to defer at least one percent (1%) of his or her Compensation or five thousand dollars ($5,000), whichever is
greater, for the Plan Year. Amounts so deferred will be considered a Participant’s “Compensation Deferral Credits.” 
 To
participate in the Compensation Deferral Credit program for a Plan Year, a Participant must satisfy the Employer’s election rules, including the execution of the Participant Enrollment and Election Forms, by December 31 of the calendar
year preceding such Plan Year, or by any earlier deadline that the Employer may establish. Subsequent elections, or initial elections that do not meet the requirements below, regarding Compensation Deferral Credits or modifications to the amount of
Compensation Deferral Credits must be made by December 31 of the calendar year before the Plan Year in which the subsequent election or modification is to be effective. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Employee, Independent Contractor, or
Non-Employee Director first becomes a Participant during a Plan Year, the Participant may participate in the Compensation Deferral Credit program only if the Participant satisfies the Employer’s election rules, including the execution of the
Participant Enrollment and Election Forms, no later than 30 days after the date of becoming a Participant. In such a case, the Participant’s election to defer Compensation as part of the Compensation Deferral Credit program will be effective
only with respect to Compensation for services performed after the election and deferred in a manner consistent with the requirements of Code Section 409A. Subsequent elections to modify the amount of a Compensation Deferral Credit must be made
by December 31 of the calendar year before the Plan Year in which the modified Compensation Deferral Credit is to be effective. 
 In the
case of a deferral of Performance-Based Compensation, the election must be made no later than 6 months prior to the end of the performance period. 
 If the Employer has a fiscal year other than the calendar year, Compensation relating to service in the fiscal year of the Employer (such as a bonus based on the fiscal year of the Employer), of which no
amount is paid or payable during the fiscal year, may be deferred at the Participant’s election only if the election to defer is made not later than the close of the Employer’s fiscal year next preceding the first fiscal year in which the
Participant performs any services for which such Compensation is payable.

Account in the name of each Participant who has elected to participate in the Compensation Deferral Credit feature of the Plan, to which shall be credited or debited: a) amounts equal to the Participant’s Compensation Deferral Credits and b)
amounts equal to any deemed income, gains and losses (to the extent realizable, based upon deemed fair market value of the Account’s deemed assets, as determined by the Recordkeeper, in its discretion) attributable or allocable thereto.

the manner in which Participant Compensation Deferral Credits may be made.

Designation Date, the Participant shall have the right to direct the Employer as to how amounts in his or her Account and held by the Employer, an agent of the Employer, or trustee under the Trust, whichever applies, shall be measured for account
gains and losses. The Employer may, but is not required to, direct an agent of the Employer or trustee of the Trust to invest any assets held under the Trust or by the Plan Sponsor on behalf of the Participant pursuant to the performance measurement
directions the Employer properly has received from the Participant. The value of the Participant’s Account shall be equal to the value of the performance measurements specified by the Participant as if the Employer had so invested the Account.
As of each Valuation Date of the assets held under the Plan, the Participant’s Account will be credited or debited by the performance measurements to reflect the Participant’s Plan Account. The Participant’s Plan Account will be
credited or debited with the increase or decrease in the performance measurements, as follows. As of each Valuation Date, an amount equal to the net increase or decrease in performance measurements (as determined by the Employer or Recordkeeper)
within the Account since the preceding Valuation Date shall be allocated among all Participants’ Accounts deemed to be invested performance measurement in accordance with the ratio which the portion of the Account of each Participant which is
deemed to be invested within that performance measurement, determined as provided herein, bears to the aggregate of all amounts deemed to be invested within that performance measurement. 
 4.2 ACCOUNTING FOR DISTRIBUTIONS. Notwithstanding any other provision, as of the date of any distribution hereunder, the distribution made hereunder to the Participant or his/her Beneficiary or
Beneficiaries shall be charged to such Participant’s Account. Such amounts shall be charged on a pro rata basis against the investments of the Plan in which the Participant’s Account is deemed to be invested. 

4.3 DEEMED INVESTMENT DIRECTIONS OF PARTICIPANTS. Subject to such limitations as may from time to time be required by law, imposed by the Employer or
Recordkeeper or contained elsewhere in the Plan, and subject to such operating rules and procedures as may be imposed from time to time by the Employer or Recordkeeper, prior to the date on which a direction will become effective investment
direction for each Designation Date, each Participant may communicate to the Employer a direction as to how his or her Plan Accounts should be measured for performance among such categories of performance measurements as may be made available by the
Employer hereunder. Such direction shall designate the percentage (in any whole percentage multiples) of each portion of the Participant’s Plan Accounts which is requested to be invested in such categories of performance measurements, and shall
be subject to the following rules: 
 (a) Any initial or subsequent performance measurement direction shall be in or on a form acceptable to the
Employer and Recordkeeper and shall be effective as of the next Designation Date which shall be the next available market trading day. The Participant may, if permitted by the Employer and the Recordkeeper, make a performance measurement direction
for his or her existing Account balance as of the Designation Date and a separate performance measurement direction for contribution credits occurring after the Designation Date. 
 (b) All amounts credited to the Participant’s Account shall be measured for gains and losses in accordance with the then effective performance measurement direction and shall continue indefinitely as
provided in the Participant’s most recent Participant Enrollment and Election Form, or other form specified by the Employer. As of the effective date of any new performance measurement direction, all or a portion of the Participant’s
Account at that date shall be reallocated among the designated performance measurements according to the percentages specified in the new performance measurement direction. The new performance measurement direction will remain effective until a
subsequent performance measurement direction is filed and becomes effective. 
 (c) If the Employer or Recordkeeper receives an initial or
revised performance measurement direction which it deems to be incomplete, unclear or improper, the Participant’s performance measurement direction then in effect shall remain in effect until the next Designation Date, unless the Employer and
Recordkeeper provide for, and permits the application of, corrective action prior thereto. In the case of a deficiency in an initial performance measurement direction, or if the Participant has not made an initial performance measurement direction,
the Participant’s Account shall be allocated to the lowest risk investment option for measuring Account gains and losses, as determined by the Board in its sole discretion. 
 (d) If the Recordkeeper possesses at any time directions as to the performance measurement of less than all of a Participant’s Account, the Participant shall be deemed to have directed that the
undesignated portion of the Account be deemed to be measured in a money market, fixed income or similar fund made available under the Plan, as determined by the Recordkeeper in its discretion. 

(e) Each Participant hereunder, as a condition to his or her participation hereunder, agrees to hold harmless the Employer and the Recordkeeper and their
agents and representatives from any losses or damages of any kind relating to the performance measurement of the Participant’s Account hereunder. 
 (f) Each reference in this Section to a Participant shall be deemed to include, where applicable, a reference to a Beneficiary.

 5.3. SPECIFIED PERIOD DEFERRALS. If the Employer designates in the Adoption Agreement that a Participant may make Specified Period Deferral elections, a Participant may designate in the Participant
Enrollment and Election Forms to have his or her Compensation Deferral Credit Account for the specific Plan Year distributed as the Participant’s Specified Period Deferral distribution. Distributions of the amount of the Specified Period
Deferral shall be made in the form provided in Article 6. 
 5.4 UNFORESEEABLE EMERGENCY. In the event of an unforeseeable emergency of the
Participant, as defined in Section 1.33, the Participant may apply to the Employer for the distribution of all or any part of his or her then vested Account. The Employer shall consider the circumstances of each such case, and the best
interests of the Participant and his or her family, and shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to direct a distribution of all or part of the amount requested, or to refuse to allow any distribution. Any payment that a Participant is entitled

Employer will pay the amount equal to the Participant’s Account, as valued under Section 5.1, in either a lump sum or, if provided in the Adoption Agreement, annual installments ranging from two to fifteen years. The form of payment shall
be determined by both the Employer’s elections in the Adoption Agreement and the Employee’s deferral elections pursuant to the Participant Enrollment and Election Forms. If a Participant is permitted to elect a form of payment and fails to
designate properly the form of payment, such payment will be made in a lump sum. Regardless of the timing and form of payment chosen, the first such payment shall be made on, or as close to as administratively feasible, the date of Separation from
Service. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant’s Separation from Service occurs prior to obtaining the Annual Installment Eligibility Age designated in the Adoption Agreement, the Participant’s Compensation Deferral Credit
Account, and any vested amounts of the Participant’s Employer Contribution Credit Account as provided in Section 5.1 and 6.7 as applicable, shall be paid in a lump sum as soon as administratively feasible. Also notwithstanding the

 6.3 CHANGE IN CONTROL ACCOUNT DISTRIBUTIONS. If the Employer has chosen, per the Adoption Agreement, to
distribute the Participant’s Account balance at the date of any event that is defined as a Change in Control under the Plan, the Participant’s vested Account balance at the date of such Change in Control shall be payable in a lump sum as
soon as administratively practicable after the Change in Control. 
 6.4 SPECIFIED PERIOD DEFERRAL DISTRIBUTION. The Employer shall pay a
Participant who is entitled to a Specified Period Deferral distribution the amount of such Specified Period Deferral in either a lump sum or, if provided for in the Adoption Agreement in annual installments ranging from two to fifteen years. In no
event may a Specified Period Deferral distribution be made prior to two years following the Plan Year in the deferral of the Participant. The form of payment shall be specified in the Participant’s Enrollment and Election Forms, but if no such
election is made the amount shall be distributed in a lump sum. Distributions of Specified Period Deferrals shall commence at the later of the date specified by the Participant or the date specified in the Adoption Agreement. If the Participant
elects to receive Specified Period Deferral distributions in annual installment payments, the payment of each annual installment shall be made on the anniversary of the date of the first installment payment, and the amount of the annual installment
shall be adjusted on such anniversary for credits or debits to the Participant’s Account pursuant to Article 4. Such adjustment shall be made by dividing the balance in the Plan Year account on such date by the number of annual installments
remaining to be paid hereunder; provided that the last annual installment due under the Plan shall be the entire amount credited to the Plan Year account on the date of payment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Participant Separates from Service
prior to the date on which the entire balance in the Plan Year account has been distributed, the balance in the Plan Year account on such date shall be distributed to the Participant in the same manner and at the same time as the balance in the
Account is distributed under Section 6.2. 
 6.5 DISTRIBUTIONS UPON UNFORESEEABLE EMERGENCIES. Upon the Employer’s determination to
grant a Participant’s request to receive a distribution due to an Unforeseeable Emergency, the Employer shall make the appropriate distribution to the Participant from amounts held by the Employer in respect of the Participant’s Account.
Once the Employer grants a Participant’s request for a distribution due to an Unforeseeable Emergency, the election to defer compensation pursuant to section 3.2 will be terminated. After such termination, the participant may later elect to
defer compensation according to section 3.2. In no event shall the aggregate amount of the distribution exceed the lesser of a) the full value of the Participant’s vested Account or b) the amount determined by the Employer to be necessary to
alleviate the Participant’s unforeseeable emergency plus amounts necessary to pay taxes reasonably anticipated as a result of the distribution, after taking into account the extent to which such an unforeseeable emergency is or may be relieved
through reimbursement or compensation by insurance, liquidation of the Participant’s assets (to the extent the liquidation of such assets would itself cause a severe financial hardship, or otherwise), and cancellation of compensation deferral
credits upon payment due to an unforeseeable emergency. 
 6.6 PAYMENT OF INSTALLMENTS. If the whole or any part of a payment to be made under
this Article 6 by the Employer is to be in installments, any unpaid installment amounts shall continue to be deemed to be invested pursuant to Article 4 under such procedures as the Employer may establish. Any deemed income, gain or loss
attributable thereto (as determined by the Recordkeeper, in its discretion) shall be reflected in the installment payments, in such manner as the Recordkeeper shall determine. 
 6.7 DEATH AND DISABILITY BENEFITS AND VESTING CONDITIONS. If a Participant’s Separation from Service is due to death or Disability, he or she shall become fully vested in his or her Account. If a
Participant dies prior to the full payment of his or her Account, the remaining value of the Participant’s Account shall be paid in a lump sum to the person or persons designated in accordance with Section 7.1. 

In addition, if the Employer has elected in the Adoption Agreement to provide Participants with an additional twenty-five thousand dollar ($25,000)
supplemental benefit and the Participant had fulfilled any additional requirements imposed by the Employer in its discretion for the receipt of the same, upon a Participant’s death prior to the full payment of his or her Account, the person or
persons designated in accordance with Section 7.1 shall receive an additional payment of twenty five thousand dollars ($25,000) over and above the payment of the Account. Said supplemental benefit shall be paid to the named beneficiary in a
lump sum, as soon as administratively feasible. 
 6.8 401(k) OFFSET. If the employer has chosen, per the adoption agreement, to include a
401(k) offset feature in the plan, then the Participant may elect to have amounts deferred under this Plan contributed to the Employer’s qualified profit sharing plan as described in Code Section 401(k) (the 401(k) plan). The Employer for
each plan year, but no later than March 15 of the next calendar year, shall, with respect to the 401(k) plan, calculate the maximum amount of elective salary deferrals that may be contributed to the Participant’s 401(k) account for the
Plan year. The smaller of the amount calculated or the Participant’s compensation deferral for the plan year will be transferred from this Plan to the 401(k) plan as an elective deferral consistent with the Participant’s election. Such
transfer will be made no later than March 15 of the year in which the maximum amount of elective salary deferral is calculated. The Participant’s election to have this amount contributed to the 401(k) plan shall satisfy the Employer’s
election rules for compensation deferral credits as outlined in section 3.2 of this Plan document. 
 6.9 MANDATORY CASHOUT. If the employer has
chosen, per the adoption agreement, to require the termination of the Participant’s entire interest in their Account through a mandatory cashout, then the Participant’s Account shall be payable in a lump sum. The payment must result in the
complete termination of the Participant’s entire vested account balance under the plan, and such lump sum payment cannot be greater than the applicable dollar amount under section 402(g)(1)(B).

 6.10 PROHIBITION ON ACCELERATION OF DISTRIBUTIONS. The time or schedule for payment of any distribution
under the Plan may not be accelerated, except as set forth in this Plan and permitted under Code Section 409A and any guidance promulgated thereunder. 
 ARTICLE 7: BENEFICIARIES; PARTICIPANT DATA 
 7.1 DESIGNATION OF BENEFICIARIES. Each Participant
from time to time may designate via the Recordkeeper’s website, any person or persons (who may be named contingently or successively) to receive such benefits as may be payable under the Plan upon the Participant’s death, and such
designation may be changed from time to time by the Participant by filing a new designation through the Participant’s online Account. Each designation will revoke all prior designations by the same Participant, and will be effective only when
filed electronically with the Recordkeeper during the Participant’s lifetime. 
 In the absence of a valid Beneficiary designation, or if,
at the time any benefit payment is due to a Beneficiary, there is no living Beneficiary validly named by the Participant, the Employer shall pay any such benefit payment to the Participant’s estate. In determining the existence or identity of
anyone entitled to a benefit payment, the Employer may rely conclusively upon information supplied by the Participant’s personal representative, executor or administrator. If a question arises as to the existence or identity of anyone entitled
to receive a benefit payment as aforesaid, or if a dispute arises with respect to any such payment, then, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Employer, in its sole discretion, may distribute such payment to the Participant’s estate without
liability for any tax or other consequences which might flow therefrom, or may take such other action as the Employer deems to be appropriate. 

7.2 INFORMATION TO BE FURNISHED BY PARTICIPANTS AND BENEFICIARIES; INABILITY TO LOCATE PARTICIPANTS OR BENEFICIARIES. Any communication, statement or
notice addressed to a Participant or to a Beneficiary at his or her last post office address as shown on the Employer’s records shall be binding on the Participant or Beneficiary for all purposes of the Plan. The Employer shall not be obliged
to search for any Participant or Beneficiary beyond the sending of a registered letter to such last known address. If the Employer notifies any Participant or Beneficiary that he or she is entitled to an amount under the Plan and the Participant or
Beneficiary fails to claim such amount or make his or her location known to the Employer within three (3) years thereafter, except as otherwise required by law, if the Participant’s spouse or surviving spouse is then living, the Employer
shall direct distribution of such amount to the Participant’s spouse or surviving spouse, and, if the Participant has died and then has no surviving spouse, the Employer shall direct distribution of such amount to the Participant’s estate
and, if the Participant has not died, the entirety of the Participant’s Account not then paid shall be forfeited to the Employer, and such distribution or forfeiture shall discharge the Employer’s obligations to any such unlocated
Participant or Beneficiary. If a benefit payable to an unlocated Participant or Beneficiary is reasonably determined by the Employer to be subject to escheat pursuant to applicable state law, the Employer shall not be liable to any person for any
payment made in accordance with such law. 
 ARTICLE 8: ADMINISTRATION 
 8.1 ADMINISTRATIVE AUTHORITY. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the Plan Sponsor (itself or through the Recordkeeper as the Plan Sponsor’s agent) shall have the sole responsibility
for and the sole control of the operation and administration of the Plan, and shall have the power and authority to take all action and to make all decisions and interpretations which may be necessary or appropriate in order to administer and
operate the Plan, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the power, duty and responsibility to: 
 (a) Resolve and
determine all disputes or questions arising under the Plan, including the power to determine the rights of Eligible Employees, Participants and Beneficiaries, and their respective benefits, and to remedy any ambiguities, inconsistencies or omissions
in the Plan. 
 (b) Adopt such rules of procedure and regulations as in its opinion may be necessary for the proper and efficient administration
of the Plan and as are consistent with the Plan. 
 (c) Implement the Plan in accordance with its terms and the rules and regulations adopted as
above. 
 (d) Make determinations with respect to the eligibility of any Eligible Employee as a Participant and make determinations concerning
the crediting and distribution of Plan Accounts. 
 (e) Appoint any persons or firms, or otherwise act to secure specialized advice or
assistance, as it deems necessary or desirable in connection with the administration and operation of the Plan, and the Plan Sponsor shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon, and shall be fully protected in any action or omission taken by it in
good faith reliance upon, the advice or opinion of such firms or persons. The Plan Sponsor shall have the power and authority to delegate from time to time by written instrument all or any part of its duties, powers or responsibilities under the
Plan, both ministerial and discretionary, as it deems appropriate, to any person or committee, and in the same manner to revoke any such delegation of duties, powers or responsibilities, including the power to delegate any administrative and/or
recordkeeping functions as are required to be performed under the Plan to the Recordkeeper, subject to the Recordkeeper’s acceptance of such responsibility. Any action of such person or committee in the exercise of such delegated duties, powers
or responsibilities shall have the same force and effect for all purposes hereunder as if such action had been taken by the Plan Sponsor. Further, the Plan Sponsor may authorize one or more persons, including the Recordkeeper, to execute any
certificate or document on behalf of the Plan Sponsor, in which event any person notified by the Plan Sponsor of such authorization shall be entitled to accept and conclusively rely upon any such certificate or document executed by such person as
representing action by the Plan Sponsor until such third person shall have been notified of the revocation of such authority. 

  
 12 









 If the Recordkeeper is delegated any administrative or recordkeeping authority by the Plan Sponsor
hereunder, the Recordkeeper shall use ordinary care and diligence in the performance of its duties pertaining to the Plan, but, except to the extent required by law, the Recordkeeper shall not incur any liability: (i) by virtue of any contract,
agreement, bond or other instrument made or executed by it or on its behalf as delegatee of the Plan Sponsor; (ii) for any act or failure to act, or any mistake or judgment made, by it with respect to the business of the Plan, unless resulting
from its gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) for the neglect, omission or wrong doing of any other person or firm employed or retained by the Plan Sponsor. 
 The Plan Sponsor and each Employer shall employ its own legal and tax advisors. 
 The Plan Sponsor and each Employer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Recordkeeper and Nationwide® Financial Services and their officers, directors, employees and other representatives, and the successors and assigns of the foregoing (any one of which hereinafter
is referred to as an “Indemnified Person”) from the effects and consequences of the Indemnified Person’s acts, omissions and conduct in its official capacity with respect to the Plan, except to the extent that such effects and
consequences shall result from the Indemnified Person’s own willful misconduct or gross negligence. This indemnification will protect an Indemnified Person from all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses incurred by an Indemnified
Person (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) which (i) are related to or arise out of a) actions taken or omitted to be taken (including any untrue statements made or any statements omitted to be made) by the Plan Sponsor or
b) actions taken or omitted to be taken by an Indemnified Person with the Plan Sponsor’s consent or in conformity with the Plan Sponsor’s actions or omissions; (ii) arise out of changes in investments initiated by the Employer, such
as losses incurred while Plan assets are being transferred; or (iii) are otherwise related to or arise out of the Indemnified Person’s activities on behalf of the Employer. The Employer will reimburse an Indemnified Person within 30 days
for all expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel) as they are incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with investigating, preparing or defending any such action or claim, whether or not in connection with pending or threatened
litigation. 
 In addition, if an Indemnified Person’s services are required, including deposition, expert testimony, related meetings,
conferences and preparation time for such events, whether by agreement or subpoena by any party in litigation in which an Indemnified Person’s services may be relevant, Employer shall pay the Indemnified Person’s then current hourly rate
for the Indemnified Person(s) involved. If an Indemnified Person is engaged by the Employer in one or more additional capacities, and the terms of this Plan or any additional agreement may be embodied in one or more separate written agreements, this
indemnification shall apply to the original Plan and any such additional agreement shall remain in full force and effect following the completion or termination of this Plan. 
 8.2 UNIFORMITY OF DISCRETIONARY ACTS. Whenever in the administration or operation of the Plan discretionary actions by the Plan Sponsor are required or permitted, such actions shall be consistently and
uniformly applied to all persons similarly situated, and no such action shall be taken which shall discriminate in favor of any particular person or group of persons. 
 8.3 LITIGATION. Except as may be otherwise required by law, in any action or judicial proceeding affecting the Plan, no Participant or Beneficiary shall be entitled to any notice or service of process,
and any final judgment entered in such action shall be binding on all persons interested in, or claiming under, the Plan. 
 8.4 CLAIMS
PROCEDURE. Any person claiming a benefit under the Plan (a “Claimant”) shall present the claim, in writing, to the Plan Sponsor, and the Plan Sponsor shall respond in writing. If the claim is denied, the written notice of denial shall
state, in a manner calculated to be understood by the Claimant: 
 (a) The specific reason or reasons for the denial, with specific references
to the Plan provisions on which the denial is based; 
 (b) A description of any additional material or information necessary for the Claimant
to perfect his or her claim and an explanation of why such material or information is necessary; and 
 (c) An explanation of the Plan’s
claims review procedure and the time limits applicable to such procedures, including a statement of the Claimant’s right to bring a civil action under Section 502(a) of ERISA following an adverse benefit determination on review and
exhaustion of all administrative remedies under the Plan. 
 The written notice denying or granting the Claimant’s claim shall be provided
to the Claimant within 60 days after the Employer’s receipt of the claim, unless special circumstances require an extension of time for processing the claim. If such an extension is required, written notice of the extension shall be furnished
by the Plan Sponsor to the Claimant within the initial 60 day period and in no event shall such an extension exceed a period of 60 days from the end of the initial 60 day period. Any extension notice shall indicate the special circumstances
requiring the extension and the date on which the Employer expects to render a decision on the claim. 
 Any Claimant (or such Claimant’s
authorized representative) whose claim is denied may, within 60 days after the Claimant’s receipt of notice of the denial request a review of the denial by notice given, in writing, to the Employer. Upon such a request for review, the claim
shall be reviewed by the Plan Sponsor (or its designated representative) which may, but shall not be required to, grant the Claimant a hearing. In connection with the review, the Claimant may have representation, may examine pertinent documents, and
may submit in writing comments, documents, records and other information relating to the claim. A Claimant shall be provided, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records, and other information
relevant to his or her claim. 

  
 13 









 The decision on review normally shall be made within 30 days of the Employer’s receipt of the request
for review. If an extension of time is required due to special circumstances, the Claimant shall be notified, in writing, by the Plan Sponsor, within the initial 30 day period, and the time limit for the decision on review shall be extended to 90
days. Any extension notice shall indicate the special circumstances requiring an extension of time and the date by which the Employer expects to render the decision on review. The decision on review shall be in writing and shall state, in a manner
calculated to be understood by the Claimant, the specific reasons for the decision and shall include references to the relevant Plan provisions on which the decision is based. The written decision on review shall also state that the Claimant is
entitled to receive, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records and other information relevant to the Claimant’s claim, and shall include a statement of the Claimant’s right to bring a
civil action under Section 502(a) of ERISA. The written decision on review shall be given to the Claimant within the 30 day (or, if applicable, the 90 day) time limit discussed above. All decisions on review shall be final and binding with
respect to all concerned parties. 
 ARTICLE 9: AMENDMENT 
 9.1 RIGHT TO AMEND. The Plan Sponsor, by written instrument executed by the Plan Sponsor, shall have the right to amend the Plan by making changes to previous elections in the Adoption Agreement, at any
time and with respect to any provisions thereof, and all parties hereto or claiming any interest hereunder shall be bound by such amendment; provided, however, that no such amendment shall cause a Participant or a Beneficiary to receive a reduction
in his or her vested Account balance prior to the date of the amendment. 
 9.2 AMENDMENTS TO ENSURE PROPER CHARACTERIZATION OF PLAN.
Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9.1, the Plan may be amended by the Plan Sponsor specified as having the power to amend the Plan in the Adoption Agreement at any time, retroactively if required, if found necessary, in the opinion of
the Plan Sponsor, in order to ensure that the Plan (a) is characterized as a “top hat” plan of deferred compensation maintained for a select group of management or highly compensated employees as described under ERISA sections 201(2),
301(a)(3), and 401(a)(1), (b) complies with Code Section 409A and (c) conforms with the provisions and requirements of any applicable law (including ERISA and the Code). No such amendment shall be considered prejudicial to any
interest of a Participant or a Beneficiary hereunder. 
 9.3 CHANGES IN LAW AFFECTING TAXABILITY. In the event of any change in any law,
including the issuance of additional guidance under Code Section 409A, after the Effective Date that is contrary to any Plan provision (“Change in Law”), the Plan Sponsor, as of the effective date of the Change in Law, will operate
the Plan in conformance therewith and will disregard any inconsistent Plan provision. To the extent that compliance therewith is required to maintain the Plan’s compliance with Code Section 409A or any other applicable law, such Change in
Law is deemed to be incorporated by reference into the Plan and to supersede any contrary provision during any period in which the Plan is permitted to comply operationally with the Change in Law and before a formal Plan amendment is required.

 ARTICLE 10: TERMINATION 
 10.1
DISTRIBUTION BECAUSE OF INCOME INCLUSION UNDER CODE SECTION 409A. If any portion of a Participant’s Account under this Plan is required to be included in income by the Participant prior to receipt due to a failure of this Plan to meet the
requirements of Code Section 409A and related Treasury guidance, the Participant may petition the Board for a distribution of that portion of his or her Account that is required to be included in his or her income. Upon the grant of such a
petition, which grant shall not be unreasonably withheld, the Participant’s Employer shall distribute to the Participant immediately available funds in an amount equal to the portion of his or her Account required to be included in income as a
result of the failure of the Plan to meet the requirements of Code Section 409A and related Treasury guidance, which amount shall not exceed the Participant’s unpaid vested Account balance under the Plan. If the petition is granted, such
distribution shall be made within 90 days of the date when the Participant’s petition is granted. Such a distribution shall affect and reduce the Participant’s benefits to be paid under this Plan. 

10.2 TERMINATION AT PLAN SPONSOR’S DISCRETION. Any accelerated distribution required due to the Plan Sponsor’s exercise of its right to
terminate the plan under this section will be respected if the Plan Sponsor 1) terminates all plans of the same type with respect to all employees; 2) make no payments within 12 months of plan termination other than those otherwise payable under the
terms of the plan absent a termination; 3) distribute all amounts payable under the plan within 24 months of plan termination; and 4) not adopt a new plan or arrangement for a period of five years following the date of plan termination. 

10.3 TERMINATION DUE TO DISSOLUTION. Any accelerated distribution required due to the plan termination as a result of dissolution of the employer will be
included in the employee’s income in the latest of: calendar year of plan termination; calendar year in which an amount is no longer subject to substantial risk of forfeiture; or calendar year in which the payment is administratively
practicable. 
 10.4 TERMINATION DUE TO CHANGE IN CONTROL. Any accelerated distribution required due to plan termination as a result of change
in control pursuant will be respected only if all substantially similar plans of the Employer are terminated and all participants in the plan and all substantially similar plans are required to receive all amounts of deferred compensation within 12
months of the date of the terminated plans. Notwithstanding anything in the plan to the contrary any termination and accelerated distribution required due to termination will be consistent with the requirements of Code Section 409A and related
Treasury guidance. 
 10.5 SUSPENSION OF DEFERRALS. In the event of a suspension of the Plan, the Employer shall continue all aspects of the
Plan, other than Compensation Deferral Credits or Employer Contribution Credits, during the period of the suspension, in which event payments hereunder will continue to be made during the period of the suspension in accordance with Articles V and
VI.12 

  
 14 









 10.6 ALLOCATION AND DISTRIBUTION. This Section shall become operative on a complete termination of the Plan.
The provisions of this Section also shall become operative in the event of a partial termination of the Plan, as determined by a terminating Employer, but only with respect to that portion of the Plan attributable to the Participants to whom the
partial termination is applicable. Upon the effective date of any such event, notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan, no persons who were not theretofore Participants shall be eligible to become Participants, the value of the interest of
all Participants and Beneficiaries shall be determined and, after deduction of estimated expenses in liquidating and, if applicable, paying Plan benefits, paid to them as soon as is practicable after such termination. 

10.7 SUCCESSOR TO EMPLOYER. Any for profit entity which is a successor to the Employer by reason of a dissolution of the Employer, change in control
(according to Section 10.3), merger into or consolidation, or purchase of substantially all of the assets of the Employer shall have the right to become a party to the Plan by adopting the same by resolution of the entity’s board of
directors or other appropriate governing body. If, within 90 days from the effective date of such dissolution of the Employer, change in control (according to Section 10.3), merger into or consolidation, or purchase of substantially all of the
assets of the Employer, such new entity does not become a party hereto, as above provided, the Plan automatically shall be terminated, and the provisions of Sections 10.3 or 10.4 shall become operative. 

ARTICLE 11. THE TRUST 
 The Employer may
establish a Trust with a Corporate Trustee pursuant to such terms and conditions as are set forth in a Trust agreement to be entered into between the Employer and such trustee. The Employer shall make contributions to such Trust that correspond to
credits to Participants’ Accounts and shall have the discretion to invest Trust assets in a manner that corresponds to Participants’ selected deemed investments in order to provide a source of funds with which the Employer shall pay Plan
benefits as they become due. 
 Any amounts held in a Trust established under this Section shall be the sole property of the Employer and will
not be held as collateral security for fulfillment of the Employer’s obligation under the Plan. Any such funds will be subject to the claims of all bankruptcy or insolvency creditors of the Employer as provided in the Trust agreement, and no
Participant or Beneficiary will have any vested interest or secured or preferred position with respect to such funds or have any claims against the Employer hereunder except as a general creditor. 

The Employer’s obligations under the Plan may be satisfied with Trust assets distributed pursuant to the terms of the Trust, and any such
distribution shall reduce the their obligations under this Plan. 
 ARTICLE 12: MISCELLANEOUS 

12.1 LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY. Neither the establishment of the Plan nor any modification thereof, nor the creation of any account under the Plan, nor the
payment of any benefits under the Plan shall be construed as giving to any Participant or other person any legal or equitable right against the Employer, or any officer or employee thereof except as provided by law or by any Plan provision. Neither
Nationwide Financial Services, the Recordkeeper nor the Employer in any way guarantees any Participant’s Account from loss or depreciation, whether caused by poor investment performance of a deemed investment or the inability to realize upon an
investment due to an insolvency affecting an investment vehicle or any other reason. In no event shall the Employer, the Recordkeeper or Nationwide Financial Services, or any successor, employee, officer, director or stockholder of the Employer, the
Recordkeeper or Nationwide Financial Services, be liable to any person on account of any claim arising by reason of the provisions of the Plan or of any instrument or instruments implementing its provisions, or for the failure of any Participant,
Beneficiary or other person to be entitled to any particular tax consequences with respect to the Plan, or any credit or distribution hereunder. 
 12.2 CONSTRUCTION. If any provision of the Plan is held to be illegal or void, such illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining provisions of the Plan, but shall be fully severable, and the
Plan shall be construed and enforced as if said illegal or invalid provision had never been inserted herein. For all purposes of the Plan, where the context admits, the singular shall include the plural, and the plural shall include the singular.
Headings of Articles and Sections herein are inserted only for convenience of reference and are not to be considered in the construction of the Plan. The laws of the state of the Employer’s incorporation shall govern, control and determine all
questions of law arising with respect to the Plan and the interpretation and validity of its respective provisions, except where those laws are preempted by the laws of the United States. Participation under the Plan will not give any Participant
the right to be retained in the service of the Employer nor any right or claim to any benefit under the Plan unless such right or claim has specifically accrued hereunder. 
 The Plan is intended to be and at all times shall be interpreted and administered so as to qualify as an unfunded deferred compensation plan, and no provision of the Plan shall be interpreted so as to
give any individual any right in any assets of the Employer which right is greater than the rights of a general unsecured creditor of the Employer. 

  
 15 









 12.3 SPENDTHRIFT PROVISION. No amount payable to a Participant or a Beneficiary under the Plan will be
subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, attachment, garnishment, sale, transfer, assignment (either at law or in equity), levy, execution, pledge, encumbrance, charge or any other legal or equitable process, and any attempt to do so will
be void; nor will any benefit be in any manner liable for or subject to the debts, contracts, liabilities, engagements or torts of the person entitled thereto. Further, (i) the withholding of taxes from Plan benefit payments, (ii) the
recovery under the Plan of overpayments of benefits previously made to a Participant or Beneficiary, (iii) if applicable, the transfer of benefit rights from the Plan to another plan, or (iv) the direct deposit of benefit payments to an
account in a banking institution (if not actually part of an arrangement constituting an assignment or alienation) shall not be construed as an assignment or alienation. 
 12.4 UNSECURED CREDITOR. Participants and their Beneficiaries, heirs, successors and assigns shall have no legal or equitable rights, interests or claims in any property or assets of the Employer. For
purposes of the payment of benefits under this Plan, any and all of the Employer’s assets shall be, and remain, the general, unpledged unrestricted assets of the Employer. The Employer’s obligation under the Plan shall be merely that of an
unfunded and unsecured promise to pay money in the future. In the event that any Participant’s or Beneficiary’s benefits hereunder are claimed by more than one party, the Employer may bring an action or a declaratory judgment in a court of
competent jurisdiction to determine the proper recipient of the benefits to be paid under the Plan. 
 12.5 COURT ORDER. The Board is authorized
to comply with any court order in any action in which the Plan or the Board has been named as a party, including any action involving a determination of the rights or interests in a Participant’s benefits under the Plan. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Committee shall interpret this provision in a manner that is consistent with Code Section 409A and other applicable tax law. In addition, if necessary to comply with a qualified domestic relations order, as defined in Code
Section 414(p)(10(B), pursuant to which a court has determined that a spouse or former spouse of a Participant has an interest in the Participant’s benefits under the Plan, the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall have the right to
immediately distribute the spouse’s or former spouse’s interest in the Participant’s benefits under the Plan to such spouse or former spouse. 
 12.6 INSURANCE. The Employer, on its own behalf or on behalf of the trustee of the Trust, and, in its sole discretion, may apply for and procure insurance on the life of the Participant, in such amounts
and in such forms as the Employer or Trust may choose. The Employer or the trustee of the Trust, as the case maybe, shall be the sole owner and beneficiary of any such insurance. The Participant shall have no interest whatsoever in any such policy
or policies, and at the request of the Employer shall submit to medical examinations and supply such information and execute such documents as may be required by the insurance company or companies to whom the Employer has applied for insurance.

 12.7 OFFSET FOR INDEBTEDNESS. The total amount to be paid hereunder to the Employee or his beneficiary, as the case may be, shall be reduced
in an amount equal to the indebtedness of such Employee to the Employer, or claims of the Employer, if any, existing at the time of the payment. Said indebtedness or claims shall be considered fully discharged to the extent of any such reduction in
the amount paid. 
 12.8 NO CONTRACT OF EMPLOYMENT. Nothing contained herein shall be construed to be a contract of employment for any term of
years, nor as conferring upon the Employee the right to continue to be employed by the Employer in his or her present capacity or in any capacity. It is expressly understood that this Plan relates to the payment of deferred compensation for the
Employee’s services, payable after termination of his or her employment with the Employer, and it is not intended to be an employment contract. 
 12.9 NOTICE. Any notice or filing required or permitted to be given to the Employer under this Plan shall be sufficient if in writing and hand-delivered, or sent by registered or certified mail, to the
address in the Adoption Agreement or the last known address on the books of the Employer. 
 Such notice shall be deemed given as of the date of
delivery or, if delivery is made by mail, as of the date shown on the postmark on the receipt for registration or certification. 
 Any notice
or filing required or permitted to be given to a Participant under this Plan shall be sufficient if in writing and hand-delivered, or sent by mail, to the last known address of the Participant.
