 ARTICLE III 

DEFERRAL ELECTIONS 
  

	3.01.	Eligibility To Make Deferral Election 

 An individual may elect a Deferred Benefit for any Deferral Year if he or she is an Eligible Employee at the beginning of that Deferral Year. An individual may elect a Deferred Benefit for the Deferral
Year in which he or she first becomes an Eligible Employee only as permitted under the second paragraph of Section 1.18. Each Eligible Employee will be provided a Deferral Election Form by the Committee before the first day of a Deferral Year
and each individual who first becomes an Eligible Employee and who is entitled to elect a Deferred Benefit under the second paragraph of Section 1.18 will be provided a Deferral Election Form by the Committee within thirty days after first
becoming an Eligible Employee. 
  

	3.02.	Effectiveness of Deferral Election 

 A Deferral Election Form is effective when it is completed, signed by the electing Eligible Employee and received by the Committee. A single Deferral Election Form may apply to each element of an Eligible
Employee’s Compensation (e.g., Salary and Cash Bonus) for a Deferral Year. Alternatively, an Eligible Employee may have more than one Deferral Election Form for a Deferral Year; provided, however, that only one Deferral Election Form
will be effective with respect to a particular element of the Eligible Employee’s Compensation.

(1) Up to     % of Salary (in multiples of 1%); and 

(2) Up to     % of Cash Bonus (in multiples of 1%). 

 

	3.04.	Deferral Election Irrevocable 

 An Eligible Employee may not revoke a Deferral Election Form as to an element of Compensation after the applicable Election Date. Any revocation before the applicable Election Date is the same as a
failure to submit a Deferral Election Form or a Distribution Election Form as to the particular element or elements of Compensation covered by the revocation. Any writing signed by an Eligible Employee expressing an intention to revoke his or her
Deferral Election Form, in whole or in part, and delivered to the Committee before the close of business on the applicable Election Date is a revocation.

	3.05.	Rejection of Deferral Election 

 If it does so before the applicable Election Date, the Committee may reject any Deferral Election Form, in whole or in part, and the Committee is not required to state a reason for any rejection. The
Committee’s rejections must be made on a uniform basis with respect to similarly situated Participants. If the Committee rejects a Deferral Election Form, the Participant must be paid the Compensation he or she would then have been entitled to
receive if he or she had not submitted the rejected Deferral Election Form. 
  

	3.06.	Effect of No Election 

 An Eligible Employee who has not submitted a valid Deferral Election Form to the Committee on or before the applicable Election Date may not defer any Compensation for the Deferral Year under this Plan.

 ARTICLE V 
 INVESTMENT MEASURES 
  

	5.01.	Investment Subaccounts 

 The Committee shall establish investment subaccounts within the Account of each Participant. The investment subaccounts shall be established only for bookkeeping purposes. An investment subaccount shall
be established for each Investment Option. 
  

	5.02.	Investment Options 


The Investment Options shall be selected by the Committee and identified on Exhibit I to the Plan. The Committee may change, delete or
modify any of the Investment Options without the necessity of amending the Plan. 
  

	5.03.	Investment Direction 

 At the time an Eligible Employee first becomes a Participant, the Participant shall choose one or more of the Investment Options in integral multiples of 10%. Such Investment Options will be used as a
measure of the investment performance of the Participant’s Account. An investment direction shall remain in effect with respect to all future deferrals until a new investment direction is made by the Participant in accordance with
Section 5.04. To the extent a Participant fails to select an Investment Option, he or she shall be deemed to have elected the Investment Option designated as the default investment measure on Exhibit I. 

 

	5.04.	New Investment Directions 

 Once each calendar quarter a Participant may change his or her election direction among the Investment Options for future deferrals credited to his or her Account in accordance with procedures established
by the Committee. An election to change an Investment Option shall be made on forms designated for this purpose by the Committee and shall specify the Investment Options that will be used to measure the investment performance of future deferrals in
integral multiples of 10%. Until a Participant delivers a new election form to the Committee, his or her prior Investment Option selection shall control the measure of investment performance of his or her Account. 

 

	5.05.	Investment Transfers 

 A Participant or a Beneficiary (after the death of the Participant), may transfer to one or more different Investment Options all or a part (in integral multiples of 10%), of the amount credited to the
Participant under an Investment Option. The transfer election shall be made on forms designated for this purpose by the Committee. A Participant may transfer among Investment Options in accordance with procedures established by the Committee;
provided, however, that a Participant may not reallocate his or her Account among the Investment Options more than once each calendar quarter.

EXECUTIVE DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN 
  


	5.06.	Crediting Earnings & Losses 

 Earnings and losses will be credited to, or debited from, a Participant’s Account as if such account balances were invested and the earnings reinvested in the Investment Options selected by the
Participant (or if no Investment Options were selected for a portion of the Participant’s accounts, as if such account balances were invested according to the last sentence of Section 5.03) in the manner set forth in the following
sentence. As of the last business day of each month in which any amount remains credited to the Account of a Participant, each portion of such Account deemed invested in a particular Investment Option shall either be credited or debited with an
amount equal to the amount determined by multiplying the balance of such portion of such account as of the last day of the preceding month by the return rate for that month for the applicable Investment Option. As to any amount distributed or
transferred from an Investment Option since the last day of the preceding month, the Company shall cease crediting and debiting the Participant’s subaccount for that Investment Option with earnings and losses on the last day of the month
preceding the date of distribution.

 ARTICLE VII 

DISTRIBUTIONS 
  

	7.01.	Distribution Elections 

 Each Distribution Election Form is part of the Deferral Election on which it appears or to which it states it is related. The Committee may allow a Participant to file one Distribution Election Form for
all of his or her Deferred Benefits. 
  

	7.02.	Commencement of Distributions 

 (a) Except as provided in the following subsections (b), (c), (d) and (e), payments to a Participant shall begin on the date or event he or she elects on the Distribution Election Form or in
accordance with the last sentence of this Section 7.02(a). A Participant may elect on his or her Distribution Election Form that payments will begin on one of the following dates or events, the first to occur of two or more of the following
dates or events or the last to occur of two or more of the following dates or events: 
  

	 	(1)	on the last day of the month in which his or her Termination occurs; 

  

	 	(2)	on the last day of the month in which he or she attains a specified age; or 


 

	 	(3)	on the last day of a specified month in a specified year. 

 Any Deferred Benefits for which a Participant has not filed a valid Distribution Election Form shall be paid to the Participant commencing on the earlier of the last day of the month in which the
Participant attains age sixty-five or the last day of the month in which his or her Termination occurs. 
 (b) If a Participant
Terminates as a result of Disability, his or her Deferred Benefits will be paid to the Participant in installments over a period of ten years commencing on the date of Termination. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the payment of benefits to a
Specified Employee shall be governed by Section 7.02(e). If, after his or her Termination as a result of Disability, the Participant recovers before the balance in his or her Account is exhausted, distributions will be suspended and any
remaining Deferred Benefits will be paid in accordance with the Participant’s Distribution Election Form and this Article VII. 
 (c) Upon the death of a Participant, the balance in his or her Account will be paid to the Participant’s Beneficiary in a lump sum on the last day of the month in which the Participant’s death
occurs. 
 (d) The balance of the Participant’s Account shall be paid to the Participant (or his or her Beneficiary) in a
lump sum within thirty days after a Control Change Date. 
 (e) If the Participant is a Specified Employee and if a distribution
is payable on account of Termination for a reason other than Participant’s death or disability (as defined under 

  
 13 










 OWENS & MINOR, INC. 

EXECUTIVE DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN 
  

 
Section 409A), then the distribution will be paid or commence to be paid as of the first day of the seventh month beginning after the Participant’s Termination. If the
Participant’s benefit is payable in installments, the first such payment shall include any installments that would have been payable to the Participant prior to the first day of the seventh month beginning after his or her Termination but for
the delay in payment required by the preceding sentence. 
  

	7.03.	Medium of Payment 


All distributions from the Plan shall be paid in cash. 
  

	7.04.	Form of Payment 


Except for payments triggered by a Participant’s Disability (which are governed by Section 7.02(b)), Deferred Benefits shall be
paid in a lump sum unless the Participant’s Distribution Election Form specifies installment payments over a period of up to fifteen years (in which case the installments are treated as a single payment for purposes of Section 7.05 and
Section 409A of the Code). If permitted on a Distribution Election Form, a Participant may elect one form of distribution if the payment begins on particular dates and another form of distribution if the payment begins on account of
Termination. Installment payments shall reduce the Participant’s interest under each Investment Option pro rata. 
  

	7.05.	Changing Distribution Election 

 A Participant may amend his or her Distribution Election Form with respect to the commencement of distributions, the form of distributions or both if (i) the amended Distribution Form is completed
and submitted to the Committee at least one year before the date that payments are scheduled to begin under the previous Distribution Election Form, (ii) the new Distribution Form is not given effect for one year after it is submitted to the
Committee, (iii) the date that payments commence under the new Distribution Election Form is at least five years after the date that payments were scheduled to commence under the previous Distribution Election Form and (iv) the change in
commencement date, form of payment or both conforms to the requirements of the Plan. The requirements of this Section 7.05 shall be applied in accordance with the regulations under Section 409A(a)(4)(C) of the Code. 

 

	7.06.	Hardship Distributions 

 (a) At its sole discretion and at the request of a Participant before or after the Participant’s Termination, the Committee may accelerate and pay all or part of a Participant’s Deferred
Benefits under this Plan. Accelerated distributions may be allowed only in the event of an “unforeseeable emergency” (as defined under Section 409A of the Code). An accelerated distribution must be limited to the amount determined by
the Committee to be necessary to satisfy the unforeseeable emergency. A Deferred Benefit is adjusted for a distribution under this section by reducing the Participant’s Account balance by the amount of the distribution. A distribution under
this section shall reduce the Participant’s interest under each Investment Option pro rata.

 ARTICLE VIII 

COMPANY’S OBLIGATION 
 The Plan is unfunded. A Deferred Benefit is at all times a mere contractual obligation of the Company. A Participant and his or her Beneficiaries have no right, title, or interest in the Deferred Benefits
or any claim against them. All Deferred Benefits will be satisfied solely out of the general corporate assets of the Company, which shall remain subject to the claims of its creditors and the creditors of any Affiliate that is an employer of a
Participant. The Company may establish one or more trusts under which payments may be made that will satisfy the Company’s obligations under this Plan to the extent of such payments. The assets of any such trusts will remain subject to the
claims of the creditors of the Company and any Affiliate that is an employer of a Participant.

 ARTICLE IX 
 CONTROL BY PARTICIPANT 
 A Participant has no control over Deferred
Benefits except according to his or her Deferral Election Forms, his or her Distribution Election Forms, his or her Beneficiary Designation Form, and any Investment Options elected on the form specified by the Committee. A Participant may not
transfer or assign any rights that he or she has under the Plan other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution or by the designation of a Beneficiary. No right or interest of any Participant or Beneficiary under the Plan shall be liable
for, or subject to, any lien, obligation or liability of such Participant or Beneficiary.

 ARTICLE X 
 AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION 
 Except as otherwise provided in this
Article X, this Plan may be altered, amended, suspended, or terminated at any time by the Board; provided, however, that an amendment or termination of the Plan shall not result in a distribution of Deferred Benefits unless the distribution is
permitted under Section 409A of the Code. Except for a termination of the Plan caused by the determination of the Board that the laws upon which the Plan is based have changed in a manner that negates the Plan’s objectives, the Board may
not alter, amend, suspend, or terminate this Plan without the majority consent of all Eligible Employees if that action would result either in a distribution of all Deferred Benefits in any manner other than as provided in this Plan or that would
result in immediate taxation of Deferred Benefits to Participants.
