 ARTICLE II 
 ELIGIBILITY AND PARTICIPATION 
  

	2.1	Eligibility. Employees and Directors shall be eligible to participate in the Plan as of the date on which any such individual is designated as an Eligible Service
Provider by the Committee, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, including without limitation, restrictions as to the timing of Initial Deferral Elections. If a Participant receives a distribution of any portion of such Participant’s
Account pursuant to Section 6.1(f) hereof, such Participant shall cease to be an Eligible Service Provider for purposes of making deferrals and eligibility for Company Mandatory Contributions following such distribution unless and until
re-designated by the Committee as an Eligible Service Provider. 

  

	2.2	Participation. An Eligible Service Provider shall become a Participant in the Plan by submitting a valid Election to the Committee in accordance with Section 3.1
hereof. 

 ARTICLE III 
 DEFERRAL ELECTIONS; COMPANY CONTRIBUTIONS; INVESTMENT ELECTIONS 
  

	3.1	Elections to Defer Salary, Director Fees and/or Bonus. 

  

	 	a)	Initial Deferral Election. Each Eligible Service Provider shall be permitted to make an Initial Deferral Election during the Initial Election Period applicable to such
Eligible Service Provider by submitting to the Committee (or its designee) an Election Form on or prior to the last day of such Eligible Service Provider’s Initial Election Period. If an Employee’s or Director’s Initial Election
Period expires prior to the time at which such Employee or Director becomes an Eligible Service Provider under this Plan (whether due to prior eligibility under a Company Account Plan or otherwise), then such Employee or Director shall not be
permitted to defer any Compensation or make an Election with respect to any Company Mandatory Contributions under this Plan until the first Subsequent Election Period occurring on or after the date on which such Employee or Director becomes an
Eligible Service Provider under this Plan (including any such Subsequent Election Period that coincides with the period which would have constituted such Eligible Service Provider’s Initial Deferral Period under this Plan, but for such
individual’s prior eligibility under a Company Account Plan). A Participant’s Initial Deferral Election shall remain in effect with respect to subsequent Plan-Year Compensation and Company Mandatory Contributions, unless revoked in a
writing submitted to the Committee (or its designee) by the Participant or superseded by a Subsequent Plan-Year Deferral Election made in accordance with Section 3.1(b) hereof, in either case, prior to such time as deferral elections become
irrevocable with respect to Compensation or Company Mandatory Contributions earned in any such subsequent Plan Year. 

  

	 	b)	 Subsequent Plan-Year Deferral Elections. Each Eligible Service Provider shall be permitted to make a Subsequent Plan-Year Deferral Election in any Subsequent
Election Period during which such individual remains an Eligible Service Provider by submitting to the Committee (or its designee) an Election Form on or prior to the last day of the applicable Subsequent Election Period. Elections contained in a
Subsequent Plan-Year Deferral Election shall apply only to Compensation and/or Company Mandatory Contributions earned after the Plan Year in which such Subsequent Plan-Year Deferral Elections are made (or, with respect to Bonuses that constitute
Performance-Based Compensation, during the Plan Year in which such Subsequent Plan-Year Deferral Elections are made, provided that such Elections are made more than six months prior to the end of the applicable performance period) and shall, in no
event, modify the 



  

 7 









	 	 
terms or conditions of deferrals or the time or form of distributions subject to prior Elections that have previously become irrevocable. If an Eligible
Service Provider’s Initial Election Period occurs, in part or in whole, during any period which would constitute a Subsequent Election Period for such Eligible Service Provider had it occurred after such Eligible Service Provider’s Initial
Election Period, then such Eligible Service Provider shall, as determined in the sole discretion of the Committee, be permitted to make either (i) a single Election with respect to amounts covered by both the Initial and Subsequent Plan-Year
Deferral Elections, or (ii) separate Initial and Subsequent Plan-Year Deferral Elections with respect to amounts deferrable and/or distributable under each such Election, in either case, by timely submitting the appropriate Election Form(s) to
the Committee (or its designee). 


  

	 	c)	Re-Deferral Elections. Participants may re-defer amounts previously deferred under an Initial or Subsequent Plan-Year Deferral Election up to one time per Plan Year by
completing and submitting to the Committee a new Election Form in accordance with any rules or policies issued by the Committee with regard to such re-deferrals, provided, however, that (i) such re-deferral elections may only be
made prior to such time as a Participant ceases to be an Employee or Director, as applicable, (ii) any such re-deferral must be made at least one year prior to the first date on which any amounts subject to the re-deferral Election would
otherwise be paid, absent such re-deferral, (iii) such re-deferral election shall not take effect until at least 12 months after the date on which the re-deferral election is made, (iv) the payment with respect to which such re-deferral
election is made must be deferred for an additional period of not less than five years from the date such payment would otherwise have been paid, and (v) any such re-deferral must be timely submitted to the Committee (or its designee) on a form
(which may be in paper or electronic format) prescribed by the Committee. 

  

	 	d)	Election Forms. Participants shall effectuate Elections (and any re-deferral Elections) by completing and submitting to the Committee (or its designee) a deferral election
form (which may be in paper or electronic format) prescribed by the Committee (such form, an “Election Form”) in which Participants specify, at a minimum: 

  

	 	(i)	subject to Section 3.1(f) hereof, the levels and types of Compensation to be deferred under the Election; 

  

	 	(ii)	to the extent that the Participant elects to receive In-Service Distributions, subject to Article VI below, the specified time, if any, at which In-Service Distributions shall be
made (if lump-sum) or begin (if installments), which (A) shall be no earlier than two years after the start of the Plan Year in which the underlying Compensation is earned, and (B) in the case of installments, shall be comprised of no more
than five annual installments, provided, however, that In-Service Distributions shall be paid in the form of a lump sum if the portion of the Account (or applicable Subaccount) balance (including any investment gains or losses credited
thereto) subject to such In-Service Distribution Election is less than $25,000 at the time of the scheduled commencement of the In-Service Distributions; 

  

	 	(iii)	to the extent that the Participant elects to receive distributions in the event of his or her Retirement, subject to Article VI below, the form of payment applicable to
distributions payable following the Participant’s Retirement, if any, which may be either lump-sum or up to fifteen annual installments and which Election shall apply to the distribution upon Retirement, if any, of all Company Mandatory
Contributions earned in the Plan Year(s) to which such Election applies; 

  

 8 









	 	(iv)	subject to Article VI below, whether or not the Participant’s entire Account balance (including any amounts subject to any Subsequent Plan-Year Deferral Elections) and any
gains or losses credited to such Account will be distributed in connection with a Change of Control, provided, however, that (A) any distribution pursuant to this Section 3.1(d)(iv) shall be in the form of a lump sum, and
(B) for the avoidance of doubt, each Participant’s initial Election to receive or not to receive a Change-of-Control distribution shall govern such Participant’s entire Account and shall be irrevocable for the duration of such
Participant’s participation in the Plan; and 

  

	 	(v)	subject to Section 3.3 hereof, the allocation of deferred Compensation and any Company Mandatory Contributions and/or earnings on either of the foregoing amongst available
Investment Alternatives, each in accordance with the terms of the Plan. 

  

	 	e)	Priority of Distributions. Of the distribution events specified by a Participant in an applicable Election Form, the first such distribution event to occur shall govern the
distributions of the amounts subject to such Election and distributable on such distribution event, with the following exceptions: 

  

	 	(i)	if a Change of Control occurs after the commencement of installments payments pursuant to either an Election to receive In-Service Distributions or an Election to receive
distributions in the event of Retirement and the Participant has elected to receive a distribution upon a Change of Control, the Participant’s entire Account balance and any gains or losses credited to such Account shall be distributed in a
lump sum upon such Change of Control in accordance with the distribution provisions contained in Section 6.1(e) hereof; 

  

	 	(ii)	if a Participant dies or experiences a Disability at any time (including without limitation, after the commencement of installment payments), the distribution provisions contained
in Section 6.1(d) hereof shall control distributions of such Participant’s Account without regard to any applicable Elections; 

  

	 	(iii)	Company Mandatory Contributions may only be distributed upon a Separation from Service, a Change of Control (if so elected) or a Retirement and, if upon a Retirement, shall be
subject to the Retirement distribution provisions contained in the applicable Election Form (and further subject to any applicable provisions of this Section 3.1(e) by virtue of being linked to the Retirement distribution schedule); and


  

	 	(iv)	If a Participant experiences a Separation from Service (other than due to death, Disability or Retirement) prior to the completion of In-Service Distribution installment payments
which have commenced prior to any such Separation from Service, amounts subject to such In-Service Distribution Election shall cease to be paid in installments and shall instead be distributed in accordance with Section 6.1(c) hereof.


  

	 	f)	 Deferral Amounts. Elections to defer receipt of any of Salary, Director Fees and/or Bonuses must defer a minimum of 5% of the gross amount of any such type
of Compensation that is earned during the Plan Year (or, if less, that is earned during the portion of the Plan Year to which the Election applies). Participants may not defer more than 70% of their applicable Salaries, but may defer up to 100% of
any Bonuses or Director Fees earned. Participants may, but are not required to, defer either or both of (i) Salary or Director Fees (as applicable), and/or (ii) Bonuses. Company Mandatory Contributions will be automatically made under the
Plan for all Participants who have submitted a valid Election Form governing the distribution of such Company 



  

 9 









	 	 
Mandatory Contributions (subject to Article VI below). Compensation deferred by Participants under the Plan may only be deferred in increments of whole
integral percentage points. For the avoidance of doubt, Eligible Service Providers are not required to defer any Compensation under the Plan, and do so solely at their own election. 


  

	 	g)	Deferrals Irrevocable. Any Election that has not been revoked in a writing submitted to the Committee on or prior to the last day of the applicable Initial or Subsequent
Election Period, as applicable, shall be irrevocable with respect to all Compensation and/or Company Mandatory Contributions deferred or distributable under such Election (i) in the calendar year that such Election is made in the case of
(A) any Initial Deferral Election and (B) any Subsequent Plan-Year Deferral Election applicable to a Bonus that constitutes Performance-Based Compensation earned in the year that such Election is made, and (ii) in the calendar year
immediately following the year in which such Election is made in the case of any Subsequent Plan-Year Deferral Election applicable to Company Mandatory Contributions, Salary, Director Fees or any Bonus that does not constitute Performance-Based
Compensation, provided, however, that any Initial Deferral Election which also serves as a Subsequent Plan-Year Deferral Election shall become irrevocable with respect to Company Mandatory Contributions, Salary, Director Fees and Bonuses
earned during the immediately subsequent Plan Year at the end of the applicable Subsequent Election Period. If an Eligible Service Provider fails to make a timely Election for any reason, then the Eligible Service Provider shall not be permitted to
defer any Compensation or make an Election with respect to the time and form of distribution of Company Mandatory Contributions under the Plan until the next Subsequent Election Period (unless a prior Election remains in effect with respect to such
Participant’s Compensation or Company Mandatory Contributions, in which case such prior Election shall control). 

  

	 	h)	Deferral Effectiveness; Termination. Elections covering Company Mandatory Contributions, Salary, Director Fees and/or Bonus compensation that does not constitute
Performance-Based Compensation shall be effective with respect to amounts earned during the first pay period beginning after the end of the Initial or Subsequent Election Period in which such Elections are made. Any existing Election that is not
either revoked in a writing submitted to the Committee (or its designee) or superseded by a Subsequent Plan-Year Deferral Election, in either case, on or prior to the last day of any Subsequent Election Period, shall be irrevocable with respect to
amounts earned during the deferral period covered by such Subsequent Election Period. 

  

	3.2	Company Contributions. 

  

	 	a)	Company Mandatory Contributions. In respect of each calendar month (i) through the end of which a Participant who is an Employee remains in the service of the Company,
the Partnership or a Subsidiary, and (ii) during which such Employee Participant has a valid Election in effect with respect to Company Mandatory Contributions, the Company shall contribute to such Employee Participant’s Account an amount
equal to ten percent (10 %) of such Employee Participant’s gross Salary actually earned by such Employee Participant in such calendar month, without regard to the amount of Compensation, if any, that such Employee Participant has elected to
defer under the Plan for such calendar month (the “Company Mandatory Contributions”). For the avoidance of doubt, Director Participants who are not also Employees shall not be eligible to receive any Company Mandatory Contributions.


  

	 	b)	 Company Discretionary Contributions. The Company may, in the sole discretion of the Board, make additional contributions to Participant Accounts based on the
performance of the Participant, the performance of the Company (or any unit thereof) or any other metric deemed appropriate by the Board. If the Company elects to make any contributions to one or more 



  

 10 









	 	 
Participant accounts pursuant to this Section 3.2(b), such contributions (the “Discretionary Contributions”) shall be subject to such
terms and conditions, including without limitation any vesting conditions, as shall be determined by the Board. Terms and conditions applicable to any Discretionary Contributions may, in the sole discretion of the Board, be contained in a separate
award agreement between the Company and the Participant receiving such Discretionary Contributions. 


  

	3.3	Investment Elections. 

  

	 	a)	Initial Allocation. Each Participant shall designate in the first Election Form filed with the Committee (or its designee) by such Participant, the initial allocation of such
Participant’s deferred Compensation, any Company Mandatory Contributions and any earnings on either of the foregoing amongst the Investment Alternatives available under the Plan, which allocation shall be designated in increments of whole
integral percentage points. Allocations applicable to Participants’ deferred Compensation may differ from allocations applicable to Participants’ Company Mandatory Contributions. In addition, as determined by the Committee in its sole
discretion, Participant allocation elections may either be individualized by Subaccount (if any) or may apply generally to all Subaccounts (if any) comprising a Participant’s Account. Procedures for allocating Discretionary Contributions
amongst Investment Alternatives will be determined by the Committee if and when the Committee elects to make any such Discretionary Contributions. If a Participant fails to elect Investment Alternatives under this Section 3.3(a) with respect to
some or all of such Participant’s Account balance or fails to elect a new Investment Alternative following the elimination of an Investment Alternative in which any portion of such Participant’s Account is notionally invested (as provided
under Section 3.3(d) below), such Participant shall be deemed to have elected a notional investment in a money-market or similar account selected by the Committee with respect to such amounts. 

  

	 	b)	Subsequent Plan-Year Deferral Elections. Each Participant who makes a Subsequent Plan-Year Deferral Election (following any prior Election) may elect to allocate
Compensation, any Company Mandatory Contributions and any earnings on either of the foregoing arising under such Subsequent Plan-Year Deferral Election in the same manner or differently from allocations designated in the preceding Election Form, as
indicated by the Participant in the Election Form applicable to such Subsequent Plan-Year Deferral Election. 

  

	 	c)	Reallocation. Each Participant may reallocate such Participant’s Account balance (including any earnings thereon) in whole integral percentage points amongst the
available Investment Alternatives, as often as daily, by submitting a form (which may be in paper or electronic format) prescribed by the Committee to the Committee (or its designee) indicating the extent to which such reallocation applies to
(i) any existing Account balances, and (ii) any future Compensation deferrals, Company Mandatory Contributions and earnings on any of the foregoing. Account reallocations made in accordance with this Section 3.3(c) shall take effect
on the first business day following the business day on which a valid reallocation form is received by the Committee (or its designee), unless received by the Committee after 1:00 p.m. (pst), in which case such reallocations shall take effect on the
second business day following the business day on which a valid reallocation form is received by the Committee (or its designee). 

  

	 	d)	 Investment Alternatives. The Investment Alternatives amongst which Participants shall be eligible to allocate and reallocate their Account balances, future
deferrals, Company Mandatory Contributions and earnings on any of the foregoing shall be selected by the Committee. The initial Investment Alternatives are attached to this Plan as Schedule A hereto. The Committee may from time to time change the
available Investment Alternatives, either by eliminating 



  

 11 









	 	 
existing Investment Alternatives, adding new Investment Alternatives, or both, provided, however, that no such change of available Investment
Alternatives shall be made with retroactive effect. The Committee shall communicate any such changes in available Investment Alternatives to Participants as soon as reasonably practicable once known to the Committee. 


  

	 	e)	Notional Investments. Allocation of Participants’ Accounts amongst the Investment Alternatives shall be for purposes of tracking notional gains and losses on such
amounts and shall create no obligation on the part of the Company, any Trust (or trustee thereof) or any other party to make any actual investments in such Investment Alternatives, whether in accordance with Participant allocations or otherwise. The
Company or the Trust (if any) may, however, in its sole discretion, invest as it deems appropriate in one or more of the Investment Alternatives. 

 ARTICLE IV 
 ACCOUNTS 
  

	4.1.	Accounts. The Committee shall establish and maintain a hypothetical bookkeeping account for each Participant for purposes of reflecting
Compensation deferred by such Participant, Company Mandatory Contributions and Discretionary Contributions (if any) payable to such Participant and any notional gains or losses on any of the foregoing generated by the Investment Alternatives in
which such bookkeeping account is notionally invested, as provided herein. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, create one or more Subaccounts under any Participant Account to reflect amounts which may be subject to different distribution
schedules or otherwise as necessary or convenient to the administration of the Plan (such hypothetical accounts, together with any Subaccounts thereunder, the “Accounts”). Except as expressly provided in Section 6.3 hereof
(with regard to the Trust), neither the Plan nor any of the Accounts established hereunder shall hold any actual investments, funds or assets or shall give any Participant or Beneficiary any right, interest or claim in any particular asset of the
Company or any Trust, other than that of a general, unsecured creditor. 

  

	4.2	Crediting of Accounts. Each Participant’s Account shall be credited as follows: 

  

	 	a)	Compensation Deferrals. All Compensation properly deferred by Participants shall be credited to the Participants’ respective Accounts no later than the third business
day following the date on which such deferred Compensation would otherwise have been paid to the deferring Participant. 

  

	 	b)	Company Mandatory Contributions. All Company Mandatory Contributions shall be credited to the applicable Employee Participant’s Account no later than fifteen days after
the end of the month in which such Company Mandatory Contributions were earned. 

  

	 	c)	Discretionary Contributions. Discretionary Contributions (if any) shall be credited to the Participants’ respective Accounts at such time or times as are determined by
the Board in connection with the Board’s decision to make such Discretionary Contributions. 

  

	4.3	Account Valuation; Statements. The Participants’ Accounts shall be valued periodically, but no less often than monthly, taking into account any increase or
decrease in the value of the Investment Alternatives in which such Accounts are notionally invested (the “Account Value”). No less frequently than quarterly, statements of such Account valuations shall be made available to
Participants either electronically or in a paper format under procedures established by the Committee (or its designee). 

  

 12 








 ARTICLE V 
 VESTING 
  

	5.1	Compensation; Company Mandatory Contributions; Earnings. All Compensation deferred by Participants under this Plan, all Company Mandatory Contributions and any
notional gains on each of the foregoing, shall be fully vested at all times, except that all such amounts shall be subject to reduction resulting from notional losses generated by Investment Alternatives in which such amounts are notionally invested
in accordance with Participant Elections. 

  

	5.2	Discretionary Contributions. If the Company elects to make any Discretionary Contributions to one or more Participant Accounts pursuant to this Plan, the vesting terms
of such Discretionary Contributions shall be determined by the Board and communicated to the affected Participant(s) at the time at which, or as soon as practicable after, such Discretionary Contributions are made. 

 ARTICLE VI 
 DISTRIBUTIONS

  

	6.1.	Distribution of Benefits. This Section 6.1 shall be applied in a manner consistent with the provisions of Section 3.1(e) hereof. 

  

	 	a)	In-Service Distributions. 

  

	 	(i)	Lump-Sum In-Service Distributions. If a Participant designates a lump-sum In-Service Distribution on a date specified in accordance with Section 3.1(d)(ii) hereof with
respect to all or any portion of such Participant’s Account (or Subaccounts), that portion of the Participant’s Account (or Subaccounts) so designated shall, subject to Sections 6.1(c), 6.1(d), 6.1(e), 6.1(f) and 6.2 hereof, be paid to the
Participant in January of the specified year based on the Account (or Subaccount(s)) Value as of the most recent date prior to such In-Service Distribution on which such Account (or Subaccount(s)) Value was determined in accordance with
Section 4.3 hereof. 

  

	 	(ii)	Installment In-Service Distributions. If a Participant designates installment In-Service Distributions to begin on a date specified in accordance with Section 3.1(d)(ii)
hereof with respect to all or any portion of such Participant’s Account (or Subaccounts), payment of that portion of the Participant’s Account (or Subaccounts) so designated shall, subject to Sections 6.1(c), 6.1(d), 6.1(e), 6.1(f) and 6.2
hereof, begin in January of the specified year and shall continue to be paid in January of each succeeding year until fully paid in accordance with such Election (not to exceed a total of five payments). On each such distribution date, the
Participant shall receive a portion of the Account (or Subaccount) Value allocable to such designation multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which equals one and the denominator of which equals the number of installment payments remaining,
including the payment subject to such calculation. Each such installment payment shall be calculated using the Account (or Subaccount(s)) Value as of the most recent date prior to such distribution on which such Account (or Subaccount(s)) Value was
determined in accordance with Section 4.3 hereof. 

  

	 	b)	 Retirement. If a Participant’s service relationship with the Company terminates due to such Participant’s Retirement and a Participant has made one
or more valid Elections to receive a distribution in the event of Retirement, then that portion of such Participant’s Account (or 



  

 13 









	 	 
Subaccounts) subject to such Election(s) shall be distributed (i) if a lump-sum, on or as soon as practicable after the applicable Specified Employee
Payment Date, and (ii) if installments, with respect to the first installment on or as soon as practicable after the applicable Specified Employee Payment Date and with respect to each subsequent installment, during the January following the
previous installment, in each case, based on the Account Value most recently determined prior to such distribution in accordance with Section 4.3 above. Installment payments made pursuant to this Section 6.1(b) shall be calculated in
accordance with the principles contained in Section 6.1(a)(ii) hereof. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Specified Employee Payment Date applicable to an installment Retirement distribution falls during January, then only one distribution
shall be made during such January (and in no event prior to the applicable Specified Employee Payment Date), and the remaining distributions shall be made each in succeeding Januaries, until all such installments have been paid in accordance with
the Participant’s Election. 


  

	 	c)	Separation from Service. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, but (i) consistent with Section 3.1(e) hereof, and (ii) subject to and except as
provided in Section 6.2 hereof, if a Participant experiences a Separation from Service, such Participant’s Account shall be distributed in full in the form of a lump-sum payment as soon as practicable after the occurrence of such event,
based on the Account Value most recently determined prior to such distribution in accordance with Section 4.3 above. 

  

	 	d)	Death; Disability. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if a Participant dies or experiences a Disability prior to the full distribution of such
Participant’s Account, such Account shall be distributed to the Participant’s designated Beneficiary or the Participant, as applicable, as soon as administratively practicable following such Participant’s death or Disability, but in
no event later than the month following the month in which such Participant’s death or Disability occurs (unless delayed by legal process), based on the Account Value most recently determined prior to such distribution in accordance with
Section 4.3 above. 

  

	 	e)	Change of Control. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if a Participant makes an Election to receive a distribution from such Participant’s Account upon the
occurrence of a Change of Control, then all amounts contained in such Participant’s Account shall be distributed to the Participant upon, or as soon as practicable after, the consummation of a Change of Control, based on the Account Value most
recently determined prior to such distribution in accordance with Section 4.3 above. 

  

	 	f)	Unforeseeable Emergency. If a Participant experiences an Unforeseeable Emergency, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, permit an early distribution of that portion of
such Participant’s Account reasonably necessary to satisfy the emergency need giving rise to the Unforeseeable Emergency, including any taxes or penalties reasonably anticipated to result from such distribution and taking into consideration any
funds that may become available as a result of the termination of such Participant’s existing Election(s) in connection with such distribution, as described below. If the Participant’s Account is comprised of one or more Subaccounts, the
Committee shall determine, in its sole discretion, from which Subaccount such funds shall be distributed. If a Participant takes a distribution pursuant to this Section 6.1(f), such Participant’s existing deferral Election shall
immediately terminate with regard to Compensation not yet earned at the time of such distribution and the Participant shall only be eligible to make future Elections under the Plan as determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion and in
accordance with Section 409A. 

  

 14 









	6.2	Specified Employees. Notwithstanding anything in this Plan or any Election Form to the contrary, with respect to any Participant who is a Specified Employee at
the time of such Participant’s Separation from Service, as determined in the sole discretion of the Committee, the distribution of such Participant’s Account (and all Subaccounts) upon such Separation from Service shall be delayed until
the date which is six months and one day after the date on which such Separation from Service occurs (such delayed payment date, the “Specified Employee Payment Date”), provided, however, that to the extent that all or
any portion of such Participant’s Account would have been distributed during the six-month period following such Separation from Service, whether in a lump sum or installments, in either case, without regard to such Separation from Service,
such amounts shall continue be distributed in accordance with such schedule without regard to this Section 6.2, and any remaining balance in such Participant’s Account shall be distributed on the Specified Employee Payment Date.


  

	6.3	Trust. The Company may, in its sole discretion, establish a Trust for purposes of allocating funds to satisfy the obligations arising under this Plan. The rights of
Participants and Beneficiaries (if any) with respect to any assets so held in Trust (if any) shall be governed by the terms and conditions of the document(s) creating such Trust. 

 ARTICLE VII 
 ADMINISTRATION 
  

	7.1	Administration. This Plan shall be administered by the Board, which may, in its sole discretion, subject to the express provisions of this Plan, delegate its
duties and responsibilities to a committee comprised of one or more members of the Board and/or one or more employees of the Company, who shall serve at the pleasure of the Board to administer the Plan, provided, however, that with
respect to any decision affecting a Director in such Director’s capacity as an Eligible Service Provider or a Participant, the Plan shall be administered by the entire Board (excluding such affected Director). The committee so delegated, in

shall not vote or act upon any matter which relates solely to himself or herself as a Participant or an Eligible Service Provider. The chairman, chairwoman or any other member or members of the Committee designated by the chairman or chairwoman may
execute any certificate or other written direction on behalf of the Committee.

connection with the administration of the Plan as the Committee may from time to time prescribe; 

  

	 	k)	To direct and instruct the trustee of the Trust (if the Company establishes a Trust), to the extent the Company is authorized or required to do so under the Plan; and


  

	 	l)	To take all actions set forth in this Plan document. 

  

	7.4	Construction and Interpretation. The Committee shall have full discretion to construe and interpret the terms and provisions of this Plan, which construction and

	7.5	Compensation, Expenses and Indemnity. 

  

	 	a)	Compensation. The members of the Committee, including members of any subcommittee and other individuals providing services in connection with the administration of this Plan,
shall serve without compensation for their services hereunder. 

  

	 	b)	Expenses. The Committee is authorized, at the expense of the Company, to employ such legal, financial and tax counsel, as well as any other agents that it deems advisable, to
assist in the performance of its duties hereunder. Expenses and fees incurred in connection with the administration of the Plan, including without limitation the foregoing, shall be paid by the Company. 

  

	 	c)	Indemnification. To the greatest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Committee and each member thereof, the Board and any
delegate of the Committee who is an Employee against any and all expenses, liabilities and claims, including without limitation any legal fees to defend against such liabilities and claims, in each case arising out of any such individual’s
discharge in good faith of responsibilities under or incident to the Plan, but excluding any expenses and liabilities arising out of the willful misconduct of any such individual. This indemnity shall be additional to and not in limitation of any
further indemnities that may be available under insurance purchased by the Company or provided by the Company under any bylaw, agreement or otherwise. 

  

 16 









	7.6	Disputes. 

  

	 	a)	Claimants. A person who believes that he or she is being denied a benefit to which he or she is entitled under the Plan (hereinafter referred to as
“Claimant”) may file a written request for such benefit with the Board, setting forth such Claimant’s claim. 

  

	 	b)	Rendering and Notification of Decision. Upon receipt of a claim, the Board shall advise the Claimant that a reply will be forthcoming within ninety (90) days and shall,
in fact, deliver such reply within such period. The Board may, however, at its sole discretion, extend the reply period for an additional ninety (90) days. If the claim is denied in whole or in part, the Board shall inform the Claimant in
writing, using language calculated to be understood by the Claimant, setting forth: (i) the specific reason or reasons for such denial; (ii) the specific reference to pertinent provisions of the Plan, any Election Form(s) or any other
documentation on which such denial is based; (iii) a description of any additional material or information necessary for the Claimant to perfect his or her claim and an explanation why such material or such information is necessary;
(iv) appropriate information as to the steps to be taken if the Claimant wishes to submit the claim for review; and (v) the time limits for requesting a review under Section 7.6(c) hereof. 

  

	 	c)	Within sixty (60) days after the receipt by the Claimant of the written notification described in Section 7.6(b) hereof, the Claimant may make a request in writing for
review of the determination of the Board. Such request must be addressed to the Board. The Claimant or his or her duly authorized representative may, but need not, review the pertinent documents and submit issues and comments in writing for
consideration by the Board. If the Claimant does not request a review within such sixty (60) day-period, he or she shall be barred and estopped from challenging the Board’s determination. 

  

	 	d)	Within sixty (60) days after the Board’s receipt of a request for review, the Board shall review the request, taking into consideration all materials presented by the
Claimant. The Board will inform the Claimant in writing, in a manner calculated to be understood by the Claimant, of its decision setting forth the specific reasons for the decision and containing specific references to the pertinent provisions of
the Plan on which the decision is based. If special circumstances require that the sixty (60)-day time period be extended, the Board will so notify the Claimant and will render the decision as soon as possible, but no later than one hundred twenty
(120) days after receipt of the request for review. 

 ARTICLE VIII 
 MISCELLANEOUS 
  

	8.1	Unsecured General Creditors. Participants and their Beneficiaries, heirs, successors, and assigns shall have no legal or equitable rights, claims, or interest in any
specific property or assets of the Company or any Trust. Any and all of the Company’s assets and the Trust assets (if any) which are attributable to amounts paid into the Trust by the Company shall be, and remain, the general unpledged,
unrestricted assets of the Company, which shall be subject to the claims of the Company’s general creditors. The Company’s obligation under the Plan shall be merely that of an unfunded and unsecured promise of the Company to pay money in
the future, and the rights of the Participants and Beneficiaries shall be no greater than those of unsecured general creditors. It is the intention of the Company that the Plan (and the Trust, if any) be unfunded for purposes of the Code and for
purposes of Title I of ERISA. 

  

 17 









	8.2	Section 409A. To the extent applicable, the Plan, all Election Forms and all other instruments evidencing amounts subject to the Plan shall be interpreted in
accordance with Code Section 409A and Department of Treasury regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder, including without limitation, any such regulations or other guidance that may be issued after the Effective Date
(together, “Section 409A”). Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan, any Election Form or any other instrument evidencing amounts subject to the Plan to the contrary, if the Committee determines that any amounts subject to the
Plan may be or become subject to Section 409A, the Committee may adopt such amendments to the Plan, any Election Form(s) and any other instruments relating to the Plan, and/or adopt other policies and procedures (including amendments, policies
and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other actions as the Committee determines are necessary or appropriate to (a) exempt such amounts from Section 409A, or (b) comply with the requirements of Section 409A, in any
case, to preserve the intended tax treatment of the such amounts. 

  

	8.3	Restriction Against Assignment. Except as otherwise provided herein or by law, no right or interest of any Participant or Beneficiary under the Plan shall be
assignable or transferable, in whole or in part, either directly or by operation of law or otherwise, including without limitation by execution, levy, garnishment, attachment, pledge or in any manner; no attempted assignment or transfer thereof
shall be effective; and no right or interest of any Participant or Beneficiary under the Plan shall be liable for, or subject to, any obligation or liability of such Participant. When a payment is due under this Plan to a Participant or Beneficiary
who is unable to care for his or her affairs, payment may be made directly to his or her legal guardian or personal representative. 

  

	8.4	Withholding. The Company shall have the authority and the right to deduct, withhold or require a Participant or Beneficiary to remit to the Company an amount
sufficient to satisfy federal, state, local and foreign taxes (including without limitation any income and employment tax obligations) required by law to be withheld with respect to amounts payable under this Plan 

  

	8.5	Expenses. The expenses of administering the Plan shall be borne by the Company. 

  

	8.6	Notices. Any notice required or permitted to be given hereunder to a Participant or Beneficiary will be properly given if delivered or mailed, postage prepaid, to the
Participant or Beneficiary at his or her last post office address as shown in the Company’s records. Any notice to the Committee or the Company shall be properly given or filed upon receipt by the Committee or the Company at such address as may
be specified from time to time by the Committee. Each individual entitled to a benefit under the Plan must file with the Company, in writing, his or her post office address and each change of post office address which occurs between the date of his
or her Separation from Service and the date he or she ceases to be a Participant. Any communication, statement or notice addressed to such individual at his or her latest reported address will be binding upon such individual for all purposes of the
Plan. 

  

	8.7	No Right to Continue Service. Nothing in the Plan, any Election Form or any other instrument evidencing amounts subject to the Plan shall interfere with or limit in
any way the right of the Company to terminate any Participant’s employment or services at any time, nor confer upon any Participant any right to continue in the employ or service of the Company. 

  

	8.8	Amendment, Suspension or Termination. The Board may amend, suspend or terminate the Plan in whole or in part, at any time, except that no amendment, suspension or
termination shall have any retroactive effect to reduce any amounts allocated to a Participant’s Account. 

  

 18 









	8.9	Additional Board Authority. The Board may, in its sole discretion, with respect to this Plan and all matters arising hereunder, take any action permitted under Treas.
Reg. 1.409A-3(j) or any successor provision thereto, as such provisions may be amended from time to time, including without limitation, terminate or liquidate the Plan, whether or not in connection with a Change of Control. 


 

	8.10	Governing Law. This Plan shall be construed, governed and administered in accordance with applicable provisions of the Code, ERISA and, to the extent not preempted by
applicable federal law, the laws of the State of Maryland, without regard to any conflict of laws principles thereof. 

  

	8.11	Release. Any payment to a Participant or Beneficiary in accordance with the provisions of the Plan shall, to the extent thereof, be in full satisfaction of all claims
arising under, or with respect to, the Plan against the Committee and the Company. The Committee may require such Participant or Beneficiary, as a condition precedent to such payment, to execute a receipt and release in a form prescribed by the
Committee. 

  

	8.12	Captions. The captions contained in this Plan are for convenience only and shall have no bearing on the meaning, construction or interpretation of the Plan’s
provisions. 

  

	8.13	Validity. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Plan shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Plan, which
shall remain in full force and effect.
